Chapter 57-Harmful concepts and those who have been turned inside out

(TL:By Rafael,valhallatls.blogspot.com)

"Silk?"(Yuki)

"Are you safe ......? Sensei."(Silk)

Silk slumps as she spits out blood.

The right side of her adventuring costume was heavily damaged, and her brown skin showed what appeared to be internal bleeding.

"This is ......."(Yuki)

'Biblion told me that an invisible ...... attack was coming from the Dragon."(Silk)

"Silk, I understand. Don't talk and rest."(Yuki)

"Yuki. I'll take care of Silk you focus on the battle."(Rain)

Rain kneels down and starts chanting healing magic.

I left Silk to Rain and stood up, I turned my gaze to the dragon.

"Congratulations you managed to make me angry.....!"(Yuki)

I feel a black heat welling up from deep within my chest as I regret having let up for even a moment.

It's the same kind of thing I felt when I released the curse on Simon in the past.

In the front, Marina, Nene, and my uncle, who fights in a way that is unbelievable for a "red mage," are holding back the still-bubbling Unsullied Malignant.

Jamie is i supporting them and ...... I am the only one who can move now.

Looking at the situation with  Silk, it was probably an invisible 《Dragon Breath》 that was released from the dragon.

This is the first time I have faced a dragon, but I have a fair amount of knowledge about them.

Dragens - in other words, dragons - were super life forms and apex predators that were no longer seen naturally in this world.

Even now, it is possible to encounter them in labyrinth dungeons, and according to logs and reports, the most threatening threat is the 《Dragon Breath》, which has different characteristics depending on the individual.

They have  said to breathe fire, blizzard, mudslide, heat rays, poison gas ...... what ever they breathe, all of which are said to be powerful enough to reap life.

If Silk hadn't protected me, I would have been a corpse by now.

But invisible 《Dragon Breath》?

Too much trouble. And it didn't seem to be physical.

"Rain, how are you doing?"(Yuki)

"I'm fine for now. But this ...... scares me.'(Rain)

"Scary?'(Yuki)

"It's not a physical force. Maybe it's a ...... concept."(Rain)

Rain's words give me a bit of a guess.

Perhaps, the 《Dragon Breath》 that this dragon releases is not realistic.

It is not a physical phenomenon, but something that brings only the result of harm.

In other words, it is the same as my debuff or weakening magic.

"Yuki! I'll hold this one back. You finish that thing off!"(Saga)

My uncle shouts as he burns down Malignant the Defiler with a fire magic I've never seen before.

Even so, I am a red mage.

I am a red mage, a profession that does not possess decisive firepower, and whose main role is to support the party.

"Biblion. Lend your strength to Yuki-san."(Silk)

A small snake leaps out of the Silk's hair, who was still unable to stand up, and swims through the air.

It easily attached itself to my shoulder and whispered quietly.

I can't hear the words now that I'm away from Vordan Castle, but my intuition tells me what I should do.

At that moment, the dragon opened its jaws again.

'I won't let you .......'(Nibelung)

Nibelung, who was supposed to be at the back of the line, comes up next to me and holds out her hands.

"Please!"(Nibelung)

A golden light, filled with twilight tinge, is released from the Nibelung and spreads out like a wall.

Immediately after, I saw the invisible 《Dragon Breath》 from the dragon hit the wall.

"Onii-chan leave it to me. Lun will take care of it."(Nibelung)

"I'm also fine, too."(Silk)

Silk, standing on her knees, gives a small laugh.

Next to her, Jamie  looked at me and nodded her head.

'Yuki! I'll take care of Malignant the Defiler!　I'll never let him go!"(Marina)

' Yuki-san! Please do it!"(Nene)

Marina and Nene raise their voices as they deal with the ever-increasing number of Unsullied Malignants.

And while supporting these girls, My uncle glanced at me.

It's just like old times.

The look that says, "I know you can do it."

Not an expectation, but a certainty. When I was a child, I was both happy and afraid of that, but now it is different.

It was the trust of an adventurer standing in the same place with me.

"Yuki, We'll be fine. We are with you. We'll always be with you."(Rain)

(TL: Damn flag?)

Rain, who had guessed what I was hesitating about, holds my hand with her small hands.

Simon's demise and the cityscape distorted by twilight. The weight of my sins had made me stow away the trump card I held in my hand.

Perhaps I had never let go of it.

Consciously or unconsciously, I didn't want to use it anymore ......, I thought I shouldn't use it, my own personal brilliance.

It was time to get it back.

I raise my arm and point my fingertips at the scrawny dragon.

The chanting spun out more naturally than I had expected.

"Rozaj folioj, hurlantaj nigraj hundoj, la maro glutanta la sunsubiron, blanka miksaĵo kun nigro, stagno kun helaj koloroj──"(Yuki)

Regret, fear, trepidation, anxiety, anger, and everything else swirling in my mind, I weave them into my chanting.

All the weakening magic and the power of the curse that resides in me converge together with the magic formula and reside in my fingertips.

For this moment, I may have survived till now for this very moment.

The dragon that was pointed by me slowly flinched and was frightened.

You must have felt that you are  invincible, I know that.

You must have made yourself inviolable through a logic different from our world.

Even Rain and Jamie's magic didn't even hurt your hair, did it?

Because the rules are different.

I could understand why Benwood, the "tyrannical fist" who could break anything, said, "I couldn't break it."

No one in this world can hurt you.

Even my uncle, the Walker of Walkers, could only hold you here for so long.

But me... I'm a little different.

Yes, I am different. I was turned inside out once. That day in my hometown. With my parents.

But I didn't turn over. Or maybe I just turned over again.

I no longer know if it was fortunate or unfortunate, but one think I know for sure is that it is surely unfortunate for ...... you.

I have your reason.

I am the only one in this world who can harm you.

Prepare yourself. I am the Red Mage.

Like you, I am an expert in manipulating the concept of harm , heck debuff magic is my very own Domain.

"Go《Prismatic Missile, Arrow of Distorted Luster!》"(Yuki)

TL Note- And the final showdown is upon us, we are closing in to the end, I wasn't able to post chapters recently as I was ill but I am recovering now so we might see this novel end in early October, Thank you for being part of this amazing and amusing journey together with Yuki and his friends let's see this to the end~ Rafael wing.
