Chapter 59

Chapter 59 Strongest Sage, Disappointed

" . . . . 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 . . . .
