Chiyu Mahou no Machigatta Tsukaikata ~Senjou wo Kakeru Kaifuku Youin~ Chapter 139

Authors Note

This is the update to the 2nd story.

If you havent seen the previous chapter, please read that first.

Amira Berglet, Assistant Commander of the Second Legion.

The magic she dealt with was, as she said, extraordinary.

If you confronted her with a sword, the flas that drifted around her would attack you, and if you attacked with magic, the flas would turn around and go on the defensive, burning away the magic, and she had an overwhelming fighting ability that no one could co close to.

Hah!

And most astounding of all, her movents themselves had been enhanced.

At first glance, it looked similar to the cold air generated by Karon-donos axe that we fought with in Miarak, but Amiras was fundantally different.

If she jumped forward, the flas on her body would explode and accelerate her montum, and if she swung her sword, the residue of the flas would scorch the surroundings black. The flas themselves have beco a combination of assisting movent and defense.

It is like the incarnation of fire.

This is the ultimate form of magic, which is different from systemic strengthening, where the fla itself is clothed by magic.

But even in the face of a far superior enemy, there was a reason why I could never back down.

Ku, ugh !

I managed to stay on the defensive as I blocked and deflected the blow of the sword that was boosted by the flas with the flaming sword clutched in both hands.

Dont fight head-on.

Dont stop breathing even when its hot.

Dont lose your concentration.

Use the angle skillfully to soften the impact to a minimum.

I breathed in the hot air that almost burned my throat and concentrated on the sword in front of .

Youre surprisingly persistent!

Fuh

I blocked the sword that was approaching in an arcing trajectory with the scabbard that I pulled out as quickly as I could. I threw away the cracked scabbard, letting the impact escape behind and looked ahead. Without pausing, a crushing slash ca from above.

In the face of a clear sense of death, I imdiately put magic power into my flaming sword and swung it up, creating a fla that erupted from below.

The slash of flas swung down was offset by the flas that erupted from below and disappeared.

Amiras reaction was a little surprised, but she didnt stop slashing at with her sword.

Youre a skillful guy. You look like a force to be reckoned with, but its not that surprising.

Thanks for that!

I managed to catch the sword, but Im about to be crushed. !

Unlike , who was dying to get through each blow, Amira had a clear margin of error.

Its no wonder.

What I do with my sword, she does with her whole body, and she does it in a natural way.

Our death-defying attack is just a sword fight for her.

But still, youre not far behind . !

!

Release!

In the heat that almost burns my throat, Amira suprely calmly tries to crush with force.

However, just before she does, Hayate-dono and the others provide magical support, and I manage to dispel her sword and shoot a magic bullet to separate us from the distance.

That level of magic wont work! Any half-hearted attack will result in death!

Ah, everyone, get out of here!

She drowns out the magic with her side-swiping flas and shoots a crescent-shaped fla in the direction of Hayate-dono and the others. The flas hit the spot where Hayate-dono and the others were and created a huge spark.

They seed to be able to avoid it just in ti, but a few of them lost their will to fight because of it.

You cant afford to be concerned about others!

Hah.

I huffed and turned my attention back to Amira, she was already raising her sword.

Once again, as I boosted my magic power to surpass the onslaught, sothing blue entered my vision from the side.

Guo!

I wont let you!

What?

As I was about to swing my sword at Amira, Bluerin and Nea in owl form were rushing towards from the side.

I fired a fla with my non-sword hand, but it was nullified by the resistance spell that Nea had cast on Bluerin, and she finally backed away as soon as she evaded.

I see, I thought that an owl that understands human language was rare, but youre the vampire from earlier, if youre going to handle magic, I cant be more careless-

Bluerin!Retreat!I-If I get hit by that thing, there wont be any dust left, let alone a roasted owl! You have to be discreet about it, dont let it catch you attacking!?

Guru.

Bluerin shakes his head and sniffs at Neas words.

When Bluerin returns such a reaction, Nea gasps and holds her mouth with her wing and hits Bluerins head with the other wing.

Can you not show such motivation?!?! Do you have any idea how dangerous that thing is? Dont fight that thing head on!

guh.

Following Neas instructions to pat him on the back and urge him to run away, Bluerin keeps a certain distance from Amira.

Amira was montarily taken aback by Neas unexpected speaking, but she quickly regained her composure.

Thats really interesting. Youd think hed be the only one who stands out as a healing magician, but colour surprise. Its worth it for to co up with this technique.

I take a mont to breathe as Amira lowers her sword.

She pointed at the wall of flas and gave a small smile.

You guys can hear it, too. The sounds of battle echoing from behind this wall.

The sound ?

I listened carefully to her words and heard a sound coming from behind the wall of flas.

The sound of sothing hitting sothing and the sound of steel clashing.

I didnt have to think about the source of the sound. It was the sound of a battle between Usato-dono and the commander of the Second Legion.

Im sure theyre fighting over there, too. And its an unusual fight. They said he wasnt that serious, but thats probably a lie. Theres no way he wouldnt get serious against that Rose disciple.

Hes still fighting? Usato-dono is .

I was relieved.

Hes still fighting.

He is undaunted by the enemy, who is probably just as good as she is in front of .

That alone was enough to keep my heart from faltering.

You are a strong warrior. Theres no holding back in any of the attacks youve made so far, so Ill ask you - why arent you using your flas for real?

!?

I felt my heart being grabbed by those words.

Im not sure if the astonishnt is showing on her face, but Amira still has a calm expression on her face as she speaks.

Did you think I wouldnt notice? Im a warrior who deals with fire magic. I understand fire better than anyone else.

Even so, I hadnt expected her to notice that much.

Before my own strength, she had a better sense of what it was like to be a fla wielder.

Im a warrior like you. Im sure theres so reason for that. , but that is not my concern. Either you will die without it, or you will use it and die.

With that, Amira showed her stance.

The flas that had been flickering around her gained montum as she did so.

.

At this rate, shes probably right, Ill be killed.

No, on the contrary, Bluerin and Nea, as well as Hayate-dono and his friends will be killed without any way to do so.

.

Nea, I need a favour.

I talk to Nea where she is on Bluerins back and has moved up diagonally behind .

Nea, who had been concentrating on Amira, let out a confused sound.

I dont mind, but are you sure?

Yeah. Can I have put a resistance spell on ?

Resistance to fire, yes. Thats fine. But Im not sure you can withstand that many tis against that many opponents.

No, thats wrong.

Nea looked at suspiciously.

I didnt mind her words, but I say words that can be called my own determination.

Please build up my own resistance to magic.

Alright alright.

Thank you very much.

She must have guessed.

Shes a smart girl. She must have understood what I was trying to do, since I was afraid to use my own magic.

My magic is fire magic with a power that is extrely close to systemic enhancent.

Normally, I try not to use it, but it is a double-edged sword that can burn down if I try to use it spontaneously.

Ive hurt a lot of people with it, and in so cases, Ive given them scars that will never heal. No matter how much I regret it, no matter how much I cry, I cant do it again.

Ive always been afraid.

Ive been afraid of the power that could be turned against even those I swore to protect.

So when I turned that power on Usato-dono, my core froze. I knew that I had attacked him with a dangerous technique that, if it struck even once, would have resulted in serious injury.

Even so, Usato-dono, Amako-dono, Nea, and Bluerin all relied on .

Its ti for to face them.

In the battle against the wicked dragon, I unexpectedly turned my power against Usato-dono.

In Mia Rak, my sword was broken and I was knocked unconscious.

I am a coward who is too afraid to even use my own power. Im a fool who faked my true intentions even to my friends and didnt think to use it until Amira told .

It was always who was being saved.

This journey has saved .

It was one of the most amazing things Ive ever experienced in my life. Sowhere along the way, the ti I spent traveling with them beca an invaluable asset to .

Thats why.

I want to protect it.

I want to make sure that all of us can return to the Kingdom of Lingle with smiles on our faces, without missing a single one of us.

I pulled out another, smaller sword from my waist and gripped it with my other hand.

Ive been finding reasons to wield my power.

For that, I dont hesitate to fight.

As soon as Neas resistance spell is cast, I pour all my magical power into the swords in my hands.

Have you made up your mind?

Yes.

The flaming swords emit more brilliance and heat than ever before.

But the heat is too powerful, and Neas magic of resistance is cracked.

I cant pretend to be sothing Im not.

As Amira said, I made up my mind, grabbed my sword, and slashed at her with two swords.

A flaming sword that could be mistaken for a systemic enhancent. Is that your true magical power? I knew that there were rare people who had that kind of talent, but to actually see it in person is trendous.

Im honoured if you can describe as such!

I maneuvered my sword and exchanged sword fights with Amira, trying not to let her sword swing from her strength.

But even so, the difference in ground power the difference in skill and amount of magic power - is highlighted, but to make up for it, I now abandon my defense.

A person with magical power similar to that of a systemic enhancent.

In the Kingdom of Lingle, Olga-sama, who belongs to the rescue squad team, has the sa predisposition as . I wasnt a very dexterous person at first. Thats why, when I was just learning magic, I often let my magic run wild, causing trouble for those around .

All my life, Ive hated this power.

As I grew, my power grew stronger, and the power of my flas increased to the point where it was dangerous to not suppress my strength. Once I began to feel the effects of the flas even on myself, due to the harmful effects of the magic that was close to system enhancing, I trained myself to suppress my magic desperately.

I hated this power that could hurt , hurt my friends, and burn up everything I cared about around . !

Its been in my mind forever.

The first ti I hurt soone. The eyes of the people who looked at like I was a monster.

I threw away my defenses and slamd my right sword into Amira.

But even so, she still tries to deal with it calmly, and the small sword I hold in my other hand is cut up by her. She narrowly avoids it, but the glowing, red-hot sword cuts through her flaming armour.

!

But there are friends who need this power! There are people who are inexplicably kind to , who rely on like this!

Every ti I swing my sword, I hear the sound of sothing shattering.

Its the sound of a resistance spell being broken.

The heat from my hands is so hot that it almost starts to burn, and the magic itself runs from my arms to my back, releasing it as if it were burning.

The pain is so intense that I cant even stay conscious, but I still cross my arms and charge at Amira.

Im going to use this power to clear the way!

Co!

Flas collide with flas.

Even after going this far, Im still pushed, but.

Haaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!

!

Even so, I pushed forward and swung both of my swords as I passed him.

At that mont, the fire that had spread from my sword-holding arm to my back and the armor of fla that clothed Amira disappeared.

ugh.

I drop the hilt of my sword, which has beco charred and tattered in my hands, and fall to my knees.

Breathing hard, I looked behind and saw Amira, still unhard, lowering her sword in one hand.

Human persistence is a trendous thing. Even though it was a suicide attack, it was still able to cut through this magic of mine.

Amira put her hand on the cut on her cheek.

The magic on her body had been sliced through, but the blade had barely reached her flesh.

The flas that protected her were so tight that it was all she could do to peel them away. But I wasnt despairing.

After all, I had accomplished my original goal.

But Ive arrived.

Yes, you did.

Behind Amira, a wall made of flas was sliced open in a cross and fizzled out.

The scene inside becos clearer as the fire scatters. I beco dazed and almost collapse, but Bluerin supports just in ti.

With his back to , Nea is looking worriedly in the direction where Usato-dono might be.

Im not sure if Ill be able to do anything about it. Nice work, knight.

Amira puts her sword away, but there is no hint of fighting spirit in her appearance.

This ti, I look beyond the wall that has disappeared.

Then, the scene that jumped in front of my eyes

Oh no !

The scene that jumped in front of was that of a beast-like monster about to swing its sharp claws down on Usato-dono, who was bleeding from every part of his body.

I couldnt help but shout his na at the sight.
