Chapter 56 Strongest Sage, Counterattacks

"First I'll attack and lure them to lower their altitude . After that, shoot the weaker one with your arrows . The first demon I'm going to attack is the weaker one . "

"Roger!"

"I understand! . . . . But Mathi-kun, are your mana alright?"

"Honestly, I don't have enough for frontal attack . "

Even if I were in my top form, the demons' magical firepower would still be superior .

Thus, it isn't possible for me to defeat them in a straight fight with my mana being only at 10% of the usual .

"Then how are you . . . . "

"If my mana isn't enough, then I just need to use the enemy's mana . "

"Y-You can do that!?"

"It's a relatively complex magic, so you'll have to wait before I teach you it . . . . Well then, I'll be charging on them . Prepare the arrows and wait here . "

I jumped off the ground, and kicked off barrier magic I continuously invoked mid-air, heading toward one of the demons .

"Enemy attack, Desiril!"

The stronger demon noticed me when I was several steps away from them .

"Impossible! How could he notice us at this distance!"

The weaker demon (seemed to be called Desiril) shouted out while blocking my sword .

Since I wouldn't deliver passable damage on them even if I used magic here, I surrendered my body to the gravity and fell down after exchanging blow once .

"You seem to be good at detection, and for a mere human to be flying in the sky . . . . Don't tell me, you're the human who killed Devilis?"

"What if I am?"

"Either way, you are still a human . --Die!"

The stronger demon shot a magic at me while saying that .

It's an orthodox flame magic, but the power is remarkably huge . The current me would instantly die if I got hit by that .

When I saw that, I constructed a magic using half of my remaining mana .

The magic is called 【Control Sphere】, an original magic I created in my past life .

I didn't have many chances to use it in my past life, but making this was the correct answer .

If invoked the magic as is, it would have consumed too much mana, thus I had re-arranged the spell impromptu just now--looks like it went well .

"Mu!?"

Numerous 【Control Spheres】 that appeared around me twisted the direction of the flame magic, turning it toward the stronger demon .

The demon tried to evade, but I used the 【Control Spheres】 to turn the magic again, successfully hitting the demon .

"Gah . . . . "

"Ashril-sama!"

Since it was a powerful magic, the demon suffered a huge damage .

Ashril's face warped, at the same time, I extinguished the next magic Ashril tried to shoot .

After returning the magic once, the 【Control Spheres】 went back to my side .

This is the strong point of 【Control Sphere】 . Once invoked, it will persist to control the enemy's magic until it's destroyed by a huge magic .

"To think it erased my magic--then!"

However, Ashril immediately fixed his stance and plunged at me with a drawn sword .

Apparently, he's way more experienced in fighting than Devilis .

Following after him, Desiril also headed toward me .

Against the coming demons, I invoked a barrier magic above me, kicked off it and accelerated below .

The demons pursued me .

After I've fallen enough, I point my sword at Desiril and declare .

"Now's your chance!"

" . . . . Mu?"

The demons don't seem to understand the meaning of my shout .

They only looked bewildered for an instant before they continued rushing with their swords ready .

Pursuing after me, there is no shred of carelessness in their movement .

--Only toward me however .

"Nuo!?"

An arrow that came flying out of nowhere hit Desiril . Of course, Alma shot it .

Desiril who was hit by the arrow immediately fixed his stance and pursued me--not .

With a perplexed look on his face, Desiril fell below at once .

"What's wrong Desiril!"

"I have no idea! After a strange arrow hit me, my power is--uwa!"

A second arrow hit Desiril while he was trying too explain .

The magic circle I gave to Ruli contains an augment magic that causes a disturbance on a demon's mana .

The potential damage isn't too big, but it's quite significant as an obstruction .

If Ashril wasn't here, I probably could kill Desiril during the chance just now .

"Tch . . . . Dealing with both at once seems bad . Desiril, kill those womens!"

"Understood!"

Desiril flied toward Alma and Ruli .

"Looks like you've got a few strange tricks up your sleeve . . . . But now there will be no more hindrance . "

It appears we've succeeded separating them apart .

Our opponent probably wanted the same too though .
