Chapter 165 – The Two of Us

Gogogo!

I released my spirit magic and moved through the lightning to Elira while drinking an MP potion. I used lightning absorption, so my magic power was almost full.

“I thought I was going to die.”

When I reached Elira before the lightning disappeared, Elira called out to me from the water. Elira was deliberately using spirit descent, wasting her magic power to make water come out of her body. The water that covers her body is pure water that does not conduct electricity, so she has not been hit by my lightning.

“Gaaaaaah. ……”

“It’s quite lively.”

“Well, I guess so…”

The demon seems to be numb in the water, but it doesn’t seem to be fatally wounded. Well I was expecting this. To be honest, his magic attack was higher than the last time we fought. Even though my spirit magic has improved, the overall power of my magic is probably 1.5 to 2 times higher than the previous time. It is not possible to inflict a fatal wound on this demon with that level.

“Can’t you just drown him like this?”

“No.”

We both know it’s impossible while saying it. It seems that demons can survive in water for up to an hour.

“So you stalled for time because you wanted to do this?”

“How did you know?”

Yes. My magic was only used to buy time. Of course I was expecting him to take damage, but…

“But that was a gamble since I haven’t succeeded once…”

If what I want to do succeeds, I might be able to inflict a fatal wound on the demon. But that has never been successful against Tiya-san or Judy-san.

“Then this would be the first success.”

“Ah! Yes, it is.”

What I’m going to do now is honestly not that difficult. However, what Elira has to do is incredibly difficult. If we don’t breathe together, we’ll never succeed. I’m glad and relieved that Elira is so much stronger and reliable than me.

“I’ll get ready, so buy me some time.”

“Ah…”

And almost as soon as I started walking, the demon began to emerge from the water.

“Lightning Double Enchantment… Raiden Armor.”

This time, unlike before, I won’t be getting any support from Elira. Moreover, in order for Elira to be able to concentrate, I had to make sure that the demon would not turn its attention to her. The difficulty level is higher than before, but I feel like I can do it.

“Hah!”

“Gaaa!”

This time, I fought within the attack range of the demon’s fists. If I create a little distance, he might shoot flames.

“Yez! Thiz is it!”

“Gufu…”

But there was no way I could manage it with just my enthusiasm and the attack hit me in the stomach.

“That-, is that all?.”

“Gahaha!”

But this time, the attack is going to hit. If I keep dodging, there’s a chance he’ll put me off and focus on Elira. However, if I assume that I’ll be attacked, I can limit the damage by concentrating the Raiden Armor on that area. It hurts so much that I felt like vomiting, but this will at least buy me some time. If I could, I’d like to buy enough time safely as before, but the same method will not work.

“Guha…”

“Iz this jour limit!”

However, it’s really hard to attack with dozens of hits. I wonder how many bones are broken even in such a state, my heart never broke. Because I’m not fighting alone.

“…I’m ready.”

Just then, Elira called out to me. When I looked at Elira using my bird-eye view, I could see the fatigue on her face. And there are almost 10 empty MP potions lying around Elira.

“Ahh! wait!”

The moment I heard Elira’s voice, I flew backwards. Then I took out three MP potions from my magic ring. The demon stopped for a moment at my sudden action, but he quickly followed me. However, the demon never got to me.

“Gaaaah!!!!”

Boom! A huge dragon made of water broke through the wall of the corridor with a loud sound and bit the demon. As soon as I saw it, I immediately deactivated my double enchantment, drank an MP potion and started preparing my spirit magic.
