"Fenrir, I will cover your claws with dark magic. I believe you're the only one who could stop this dog from going berserk," I confessed, while preparing the spell. "I need a minute to prepare this spell. Until then, rleen, protect all of us with your light!"
As I laid out my instructions, rleen cast so protective light spell on our bodies, especially on . If I needed to use my black magic on Fenrir's claws, I needed to wait around a minute to cast it. We gars called that "channelling" our spells, focusing both my ntal and physical state to activate my abilities.
If I got distracted from my channelling spell, I would lose the ability, rendering my magic useless. But if I successfully channelled the skill, the magic circle would activate itself.
Fenrir did as she could while standing in front of . When the demonic dog ca for , Fenrir smacked the hound down and bashed its head. The little girl cried after seeing her dog getting pumled by Fenrir. Fortunately, thanks to rleen's words, the girl snuggled around her arms and closed her eyes.
Although we did not plan to kill the dog, we still had to knock it down before it could injure anyone. Fenrir did the best she could stand up against the demonic canine, thanks to the protection she received from rleen.
After a few seconds, my system finally alerted , telling I completed the channelling ti. With no mont to spare, I covered Fenrir's claws with the dark magic. That black magic enhanced her attack by five tis than her own power. Fenrir's attacks would pierce through that demonic beast, even though that dog had the obsidian magic. Since we also had one in our arsenal, Fenrir could comfortably face off against our enemy.
The two hounds clashed against each other until one of them would drop on the ground. The demonic hound used its teeth while Fenrir used her claws against her enemy.
Within a mont, the dog looked like he was on the winning side. But before the demonic beast could land the final blow, Fenrir twisted her body and launched himself in the air. After sorsaulting once, Fenrir zood straight at the demonic dog and kicked its body. The kick definitely dealt damage to the hound, rendering him immobile for now.
The demonic aura considered the host unconscious after the fight. Since the fight had concluded, the demonic nymph left the host and opted to explode everything in its surroundings. That demonic entity refused to quit, even though it clearly lost the fight.
As soon as the demonic creature attempted that explosion, my dark matter covered the dog's skin, protecting it from any danger. I also paired my magic with the remnants of rleen's light prowess.
Since players thought we cannot combine light and dark energies, none of them bothered destroying the rule. However, I had a lot of free ti and tested everything out! I had nothing to do but to play this ga in my previous life. As luck would have it, those dull days finally bore fruit in this life!
However, the spell ca at a price. The combined spells of light and darkness would protect any spell thrown at that host. It was the most overpowered spell living inside Magique.
And if I attempted to forge two opposite spells, that magic ability would drain both my health points and mana. Since it was a spell that even I cannot handle, the magic circle would cause so repercussions to the user.
But now was not the ti to think about the consequences of my action. This dog was a mber of the girl's family. I did not want them to lose such a loving pet in their family tree. Although I was not a great person, I wanted these two siblings to cherish their life together with the dog.
If there was one thing in the world that I loved, it was seeing others smile. It was the only reason I wanted to play the hero in this world.
I could beco a normal adventurer who would have a normal life with a girl. Since I have a system, I could slowly grind myself towards the top and beco a popular knight inside a kingdom.
But I didn't. It was these small sacrifices that kept alive and kicking. I wanted to put others first instead of myself since that was the job of a hero.
Although, the quote remained inside my head.
"You save others, but who saves you?"
I thought little about that line for now. My eyes focused themselves on the dog's image before , wishing to save it at the cost of mine.
My system even warned I wouldn't reach the mana needed to cast the spell. However, I paid the signs no mind and continued pouring my arcane into the light and dark barrier.
But the ti finally ca when my body wished to refuse my instructions. I fell on my knees and fought the urge to close my eyes while conjuring the fusion spell.
If I did not do sothing about this, my body would end up destroyed after this fight. We might not even save the dog or anyone present in the vicinity. If that nymph successfully blew up the dog's body, that explosion would take all our lives, including the neighbouring village.
We would not even fail to rescue the dog, but we would drag all the innocent bystanders living in their villages.
Fenrir and rleen could not do a thing to help , since those two did not have any ti to reach my side. If rleen wished to transfer her mana into , she needed to touch and directly pour her arcane inside my body. But if that happened, it would be too late to save everyone.
However, before we turned into dust, my body regained the mana it needed. My system even notified that sothing coming from the outside restored my arcane to full. It kept fighting the light and darkness combining spells, relieving from draining my mana into zero.
It almost felt like my body had a mind of its own. I did not have the energy to control my hands, but my upper limbs raised themselves, anyway. Within a mont, the magic circles continued building the unfinished gold and black barrier with the help of this mysterious force guiding my body.
That attempt was enough to save everyone from despair as I completed my barrier surrounding the dog.
After a few seconds, I finally got the ending that I wanted! The explosion happened, but the blast hurt no one but . I saved the dog thanks to my protection and saved the little boy as well. The demonic nymph was the one who got itself turned into a thousand shards, which got blown away by the whistling wind.
It should have been a peaceful scene if it were not for my body falling on the ground.
After using the last ounce of strength inside my body, my body gave up and kissed the floor. Fortunately, rleen used her speed of light and raced towards my fore. She caught my descending body and placed my weakened head on the waiting surface of her thighs.
It was the best pillow I had ever rested my head-on, and it still remained the best until now. Even before I could say anything, rleen took out the potion I saved and forcefully poured it in my mouth. My body forcefully drank the bottle's contents, which made gasp for air.
But after a few monts, my exhausted body found its lost energy. It pushed back up from the ground, but I refused to stand. I returned towards rleen's waiting arms and acted as I went into a coma.
However, Fenrir had enough and kicked my butt, which made jolted awake. I wanted to retort, but we still had important things to take care of.
I shook my head and returned to my usual state. Since we already won the battle, I waltz towards the little girl who was now asleep together with her brother. liodas placed the two kids beside each other since the two were blood relatives.
After witnessing that chaotic fight, those two children slept afterwards and regained their energy. rleen, Fenrir, liodas, and I couldn't do the sa, since there were still beasts and other dangerous things lurking around the road.
But despite these risks, all of us sat on the ground, resting our bodies for the ti being. Fortunately, I made enough potion for everyone, which would heal both their health points and mana into full. Although my potion could not restore limbs, it was enough to replenish our drained mana and health points.
While lying around, I turned my head to liodas and flashed him a smile. "Thanks for helping back there. If you didn't play your harp and transfer your mana, we would have died from the explosion."
