Chapter 59
" . . . . Looks like they're doing well . "
I muttered when I saw Alma and Ruli's battle progress .
Since the augment I gave them wasn't specialized in power, Desiril suffered little damage, but the two didn't seem like they got hit either .
It doesn't look like I need to get involved right away, guess I'll watch how it's going for a bit .
While I was doing that, Desiril filled his wings with mana and tried to get close to Ruli and Alma at a stretch .
Alma shouts out when she saw that .
"Ruli, next one!"
"Yes!"
Ruli gave Alma an arrow with an augmented magic stone on it .
Alma immediately put the arrow on her bow and shot Desiril with it .
"Kuh . . . . You pesky little!"
Desiril tried to evade the arrow, but 【Wire-Guided Enchant】 would get more effective the closer the user is to it .
Desiril who was trying to cut the distance got hit by the arrow, and lost his momentum since his mana was in disarray by the augmented magic .
Ruli and Alma invoked movement-type magic during that opportunity, gaining some distance away from Desiril .
At this rate, they can probably keep fighting safely until they run out of mana .
Now that I've mostly grasped the battle flow, I decide to break the deadlock and kill Desiril .
That said, I don't have enough mana to do that upfront .
Thus, I showed myself before Desiril without using any magic .
And then I nonchalantly talk to him .
"Yo . "
"W-why are you here! Ashril-sama's . . . "
"If you're looking for Ashril, he's down there . "
Looks like Ashril fell on the stone pavement at the square .
It's easy to tell the place since there's a circle of people (at some distance away) around the body .
"Aa . . . . Ashril-sama was beaten!? That can't be--"
"Wanna see it for yourself then?"
I constructed a magic on my hand while saying that .
A large-scale attack magic--or an imitation of it using mana emission, it's actually just a light magic .
However, Desiril probably saw this as a light of death, capable of destroying demon in one blow .
Demons have better mana perception than monsters after all .
"Y . . . you monster!"
When Desiril spreads his wings to try to escape, I give an instruction to Alma .
"Alma, the arrow!"
"But, the range--"
"No problem!"
"Got it! Ruli!"
"Yes!"
Alma shot the arrow Ruli gave her .
I run after Desiril beside that arrow .
Accelerating with all my power without minding my remaining mana .
Even if demons are good at flying, he can't get away with just normal flight .
Full Power Flight isn't something that can be activated at this distance against a superior opponent .
"U-Uwaaaaa!"
Desiril flees while screaming as I chase him .
And then--
"Oh?"
I lost my footing on the edge of the barrier .
I'm falling while looking puzzled .
Desiril who saw that as a chance activates Full Power Flight .
The demons in my past life would have snorted at this extremely obvious feint .
However, Desiril easily fell for it .
While feeling a bit disappointed at how weak my opponent is, I get close to the arrow Alma shot and put a new guide on it .
"Like I'd miss my footing on my own magic . . . . "
While grumbling, I make the arrow pierce at the weak point of the Full Power Flight spell .
And then, the interference power of the arrow activated .
"GU-GUAAAAAAAAA!"
This augment magic's effect is lower than that of 【Blocking Sphere】, however, Desiril and Ashril are of different demonic stratum .
Desiril who had his magic circuit destroyed in an instant fell down in front of me .
I can finish this demon with my remaining mana .
I stab Desiril's heart with a sword buffed with 【Steel Slash】 and 【Sharpen】 .
And then I put the body inside Storage magic .
One case closed-- .
"H-he did it! That flying student killed the demon!"
"Doesn't this fallen demon look similar to Erishis-sama, the Magic Scholar!?"
"Now that you mention it, he has the same face as Erishis-sama!"
"I can't believe a lone student could defeat demons!?"
"No, there's two more on the ground!"
"Even three is weird!"
--Or not it seems .
What should I do about this uproar . . . .
