213 Lesson 194

When I saw the manipulated person, I immediately found out that it was the work of me and a wizard of the same lineage.

Unlike my phantom magic, he is good at confusing people and has a wide range. And we can confuse not only the sight, but even its consciousness.

And terribly cunning, choosing no means.

... the situation sucks.

The formation is greatly broken down by only one demon clan, and anxiety and confusion are spreading among the knights with their allies being manipulated.

In addition to that, they are forced to be disadvantaged by snake demons and small demons of unusual size.

But still, we have to do something about it.

Now that Kazuki and the others are in opposition to the mighty enemy of the Legion Leader, I will find and deal with the operatives that the knights are manipulating.

"-- let me compliment you for finding me"

"Ha...! Ha...!"

The light purple-haired demon clan looking down on this one from the flying dragon was looking down at me with cold eyes on her knees and disturbing her breath.

A robe based on a different black than the soldiers of the Demon King's Army and multiple purple magic bullets that floated around it.

I guess I'm manipulating people with that magic bullet that's floating in the universe.

Being on a flying dragon must also be for targeting knights from the sky.

"With such a troublesome opponent...!"

I could find it.

You have to make contact with magic in some way to show the phantom.

In my case, I can show illusions by wrapping magic around my palms, weapons, etc., and letting them come into contact with me. If the opponent also has characteristics similar to mine, I should have determined the position by finding out where the manipulated knight belonged and where he was fighting.

As the prospect suggests, although it is good to have found an operator manipulating the knights, the opponent was a more troublesome person than I had imagined.

"I thought you'd find me one day, but I never thought you'd find me in an elf...... but you wouldn't be able to do anything about me with as much power as you?"

"... eh"

There are four flying dragons of Kingsguard-like soldiers around a large international flying dragon carrying a female demon tribe.

It's hands-on enough to see. It can be said that it is almost impossible to drop it with magic or bows and arrows.

"So, here's the thing: Do it."

A woman overlooking this one gives orders to the manipulated knights on the ground.

As she is told, the knight with the weapon turns a bloody eye to the knights who were supposed to be with me.

"Oh, Lord Flana! How can we……!"

"Deal with the magic bullet on top! If you hit that one, they'll manipulate you!"

"Yes!"

But it's not just the manipulated knights that attack me. Even Demon King soldiers are attacked mixed with it.

As we hesitate to attack those we were allies, that woman in the sky magically manipulates more and more allies.

With his teeth biting into the present situation, he lays his sword on a knight who sets up a rampage to pierce the spear.

"Oooo!"

"Eyes... wake up!"

A knight on an ally who strikes with a vain eye.

Wrap the magic of phantom magic around the sword and slash it shallow.

The slashed knight stared into his own palm as he regained light in his eyes and was upset.

"---what the hell am I..."

"Take it down!"

I can restore my sanity by having the magic of manipulating knights offset by my phantom magic.

Drop the spear, take your gaze off the knight who returned to me, and restore the other manipulated knights to their sanity with phantom magic.

But the number of people who can get back to sanity at once is limited.

My own magic is limited, and I have to do something about that woman in the big book.

Take out the bow on your back and connect the arrows as you poke your sword at the demon clan that attacked you mixed with the knight.

"Hit me...!"

Cage phantom magic in an arrow and release an arrow toward a woman in the sky.

An arrow that goes straight to its target, but it is quickly knocked down by a flying dragon driven by a Kingsguard soldier.

"Ku... tough to protect...!"

I'm pretty sure that woman is the commander or close to it.

Otherwise you can't be so strictly protected.

But we don't have the art of direct targeting.

At the very least, we need someone who's good at manipulating precise and incomparable magic bullets like Kazuki at a time when the elves' bowing skills that specialize in hunting with bows didn't go through.

"Is it a wizard of the same lineage? The depth of the illusion seems to be superior to yours, but I seem to have been superior to you when it comes to the praiser."

"Who are you..."

Looking down at me from the sky, the woman put her hand on her mouth just to worry a little.

"Um, well. Let me tell you something. My name is Hannah Lowmya. For once, he is the commander of the Third Regiment of the Demon King's Army."

"Third Army Commander……!?"

Woman to our surprise that his opponent is one of the highest forces of the Demon King's Army - Hannah smiles coldly.

"No way, did the Legion Leader think that everyone else was only capable of assault?"

"... what is your magic?"

"It's the same phantom magic. There seems to be a difference in abilities."

Hannah draws one of the magic bullets floating around herself to her palm and looks at me.

"Your phantom magic is more dominant and binding than mine. My magic, on the other hand, is broad in scope and wide in what I can show...... I use this magic to manipulate your knights as I please."

"So we're having a conversation...!"

"Oh, could you be angry?"

I stare at Hannah, who leaned her neck strangely, suppressing her anger.

It was the knights on my side who were fighting until I got here.

Some have been forced to fight each other by allies, forcing them to make hard choices.

Besides, I don't know what they're making me see, but they can't be showing a decent illusion as far as the anguished look of the knights being manipulated.

"But I'm so sorry the brave aren't here. If I were here, I'd be a puppet and I'd be a fighter."

"... Though I don't think I can capture the brave by you"

"Don't you just have to choose a means, something like that? I don't think an inexperienced brave man can make a ruthless decision overlooking the hostages in front of him."

……

Kazuki cannot be abandoned.

Kind hearted he may follow Hannah's despicable demands.

"Well, let's get this far in vain"

"Eh."

When Hannah raises her hand, the knights who were manipulated take the stand.

And the demon soldiers are holding back in the form of shielding the knights, and overhead, the flying dragons and Hannah on board the Kingsguard soldiers are waiting for the tiger sights and us to show the gap.

... There's no point in fighting like this.

But if we don't stop Hannah here, more knights will be manipulated.

Okay, let's go.

An unparalleled number of enemies are coming at us.

At a time when I was stunned with fear of death and my mission -- before us, the white figure came in divided by a tremendous amount of momentum.

"--Huh?"

"We made it!"

The shadow of a tremendous amount of earth and dust storms the soldiers of the Demon King's Army and the knights who were manipulated without a hesitation.

"We'll deal with it with a healing punch! I'm going back to sanity now! Olah!"

"Whoo!?"

As the shadows wave their fists in a row, the green light that seems to be the sound and magic of darkness shines.

"Usat, the demons are mixed up!"

"Confirmed!"

"Guh!?"

With each limb rolled out, the fallen down is wrapped in some kind of tattoo to seal the movement.

While he is also stunned by its appearance of powerlessness of the enemy like a storm, he sees from behind him one of the soldiers trying to launch an attack, raising his voice unexpectedly.

"Oh, jeopardy -"

"Touch this guy!"

Something like a whip stretches out of his back, along with the voice of a girl heard from nowhere.

It easily plays off the demon clan that tried to strike, and leads straight to the surrounding enemies with purple texts.

Honestly, I know with my head who came to help me.

But what to say......

"It's not what I remember..."

In my memory he made so many cod moves... but now I feel more awesome.

The figure who beat down a knight and a demon king army soldier trying to strike him with a motion that was inconspicuous to his eyes looked back at him as he wore white clothes mixed with black.

"Frana, and all the knights... are you safe!"

"Oh, thanks......"

"Yes..."

The knights with us are also stunned by the shock that has blown their sense of despair so far.

In the meantime, I decided to ask about the knights defeated by Usat.

"Are these people okay?"

"I stunned him with a fist caged in healing magic, so he shouldn't be injured"

Oh, well, then by the time I hit him, I was letting him get hurt... no, let's not think deeply.

As it turns out, the manipulators are intact and powerless.

Instead, we should be glad that Usat came who could accurately disable the manipulated people.

"And what's wrong with that?"

There was another thing that bothered me.

As for Usat's aptitude, which is different from what I saw before.

Silver cage hands on the right arm and black cage hands on the left arm.

Both legs had also turned into reclining leg nails, especially the white uniform he was wearing.

The majority of the uniforms were white, but the hem and sleeves had black flaming texts, and the spots visible from the gaps were stained with pitch black.

"Oh, this... there was a lot going on"

"I'm sorry there's been so much...!?"

Even when I witnessed the battle with Mr. Rose, I was modestly moving away from him, but now Usat was too horrified.

I couldn't have done it without all this.

"I've been asked by Kazuki."

"Kazuki..."

Put Usat's cage-covered hand on my shoulder still in confusion.

Then, healing magic was applied and the cuts received in the earlier battle and the body that was exhausted were made easier in an instant.

Wow, I lost my tiredness in an instant... healing magic doesn't work this far.

"Do you know who's manipulating the knight?"

"... the purple-haired demon clan in the sky is. Besides, he seems to be the third regiment leader of the Demon King's Army."

"Third regiment leader..."

When Usat looks up into the sky, there is Hannah on the Fei Dragon as usual.

She was looking down at Usat, but those eyes also seemed upset somewhere.

"Dark hair in a white outfit, and green magic... there's something different about the information, but are you sure you're the healing wizard of the kingdom of Ringle?"

……

You regarded silence as an affirmation, Hannah nodded convincingly.

"Nice to meet you, I'm the Demon King's Army, Third Army Commander, Hannah Lowmia. Koga, you're right, you're not human."

"Koga again... oh, already..."

He holds his forehead and groans, staring at Hannah.

"Were you trying to manipulate the knights and attack the healing wizard?"

"Yes. It worked to the point where we made each other argue... but not one healing wizard at the heart has yet been able to finish it, has it? I'm surprised you're out there."

"Shibuki..."

Guissili, and I can hear metal clanging from Usat's right hand.

I look at his face in awe, but I can't read the look on his face. I'm just looking at Hannah overhead.

... Could it be Usat, angry?

"I can't let you do this any more."

"... well, apparently you have a strong anger toward me, too"

Hannah smiles small too if she notices how Usat is doing.

The grin is cold and you can clearly see it looking down on us.

"Well, from you, it's outrageous, but from here on out, I don't want to consume a limited number of soldiers, so I'm just sourcing them on the battlefield."

……

"'Cause, you see, it doesn't hurt or itch when these people die?"

I couldn't help but feel unspeakably uncomfortable in Hannah's mouth.

I don't want to hurt my allies.

I want to minimize the damage.

Indeed, what you are doing would be terribly sensible and minimize the sacrifice of your allies.

But her thoughts weren't exactly acceptable, apart from the enemy allies.

"It's convenient for me that you're here. If you manipulate, you can easily end the Healing Wizard's gathering base and even the brave ones."

"... you can't defeat two brave men as much as you manipulated me?"

"He's your friend, isn't he? It's also a pattern of strong bonds."

How does the Demon King Army know about Kazuki and the others...!?

Usat is surprised to see if it was unexpected, too.

I've already interrogated the knights of the kingdom of Ringle.

"Interrogation...?"

"Yeah, I just showed him the illusion of being tortured for a bit and made him throw up, but that's still enough information. I was able to see the weaknesses of the brave."

What are Kazuki and Suzune's weaknesses... Usat?

Weaknesses...... I don't know if it is, but at the time he's just staring up at Hannah.

"Lord Flana, Master Usat, demons and soldiers are coming from the front!"

"Reinforcement……!"

Turning head-on to the knight's words behind you comes a troop of soldiers who could follow Glowwolf from there.

Driven by impatience, Hannah overhead exhaled to relieve herself.

"Well, while you're postponing the conversation like this, you've finally got reinforcements. The rumored healing wizard was very helpful to those who chatted"

I moved the magic bullet Hannah let float around herself.

With more than twenty magic bullets in front of us, Usat elsewhere created a magic bullet in his right palm.

"If you want to avoid it. Instead, the knights behind you will be attacked."

Hannah dropped her magic bullet this way with the mockery.

He tried to bow aggressively at a magic bullet that was going to pour down as if it were rain, but he threw the magic bullet that Usat had made in his palm faster than that.

"Healing Magic Ammo"

Magic bullets released from Usat's palms can split and play to offset Hannah's unleashed magic bullets.

Still looming magic bullets that couldn't be offset.

"Ferm"

"Oh!"

A black sword stretches out of Usat's left arm cage hand and swings beside him unconstructively.

Then something like a green shockwave was emitted from the blade, erasing the rest of the magic bullet.

"Become!?"

"Darkness, healing rupture slaughter...!"

Ignoring the surprise Hannah, Usat whines about something like the name of the move.

On the other hand, I think these places look just like Suzune, and I'm reminded that their taste is similar.

"It would be a terrible quote later."

"Darkness It's not good to emphasize......"

"Gu...... Huh!"

Usato, stiff to that voice for a moment but with his left arm undone, quietly called my name.

"Mr. Flana."

"Uh, hey, what?"

"Tell me the power of the Third Legion Commander."

Back to back with the quiet tone, his atmosphere seemed somewhere angry.

While upset by the way it is, tell Usat as concisely as possible about Hannah's information.

"She's in the sky, I'll deal with it."

"Huh!? But the other guy is flying in the sky, and how can he not even hit my bow..."

"-- Drop"

"Huh?"

"The little girl laughing there, we'll slap her down."

Usat laughing at us not to worry, but his eyes were scared the other way round because he wasn't laughing at all.

Rather, something black from the collar crawled up to his cheek as if to react to his emotions —— a spectacular shape in many ways.

Quiet anger, which is not easily understood, is scarier than the fierce anger visible.

Seeing him now in front of me, me and the knights couldn't help but think so.
