I don't know this is the second time I've fainted like this, every time like this I see unclear images of something, someone. Is that a memory of my past? Or is it something else?
-Kazuto! Kazuto! - in the darkness, I vaguely heard someone very familiar calling my name
-Pain! - I woke up after feeling the pain in my leg
-Brother! Duplicate...
-Well! Who said this idiot did not get up.
It turned out that because Rin stepped on my feet strongly, this place should have been dark if not for the light from Rin's spear.
-Go! I don't want to waste time here. "The stern voice made others involuntarily obey
-Yes, um. Where are we going
-Ne more to ask, hunt and kill the demon.
-But I thought we would wait for everyone to help?
-Did you hear anything about what I said? It is best to be silent and follow.
-...
-Sorry about you two. Although he is always like that, he is also very concerned about the people around him.
-So ... the two of you seem to talk very little, even though you two.
-That's so. But you know what, Kazuto? I was not like that when I was young. I used to cry a lot back then, and the one who always comforted me at that time was my big brother.- Yumi showed a gentle smile with a bit of sadness - But when he was 10 years old, his father started training him very hard, but because he was the only one who carried the magic of optical system instead of ice like the whole family, Dad was very upset and scolded him. Because of that, he became more and more distant from people. At that time, I was very scared, afraid that the second brother would no longer be the second brother. And I cried again, but in the end he came to comfort me and said, "Don't worry, I'll always be here for you." Those words really helped me feel secure and understood that my big brother will always be my big brother .-- Yumi showed a bright smile.
-That's right. - I looked at Rin, who was walking in front of me at the time, and understood that there were many things I didn't know about that person.
{Grao} The roar from afar was so loud that we could still hear it.
-Hicc! - Yumi nestled slightly behind my back, clutching my shirt
-I guess it's the sound of that. Go!
-Rin, wait!
Ignoring my words, Rin hurriedly ran to the place where the scary roar came from. It took me and Yumi a while to catch up to him, we were now standing a little wider than the K.O.T.B.C, on our heads sparsely piles of water dripping down here. This could mean that we have a river or groundwater on our heads.
-This is strange, this is the end and I still don't see the demon.
-True. Could it be ...
- Behind the stone pile! - Yumi screamed in surprise when she saw a giant wolf-like demon appearing from the darkness with a purple ball of energy shot out from its mouth.
- Danger! - Rin immediately stood up in front of us, planted the lance when a magic shield appeared to block its sphere.
- Why ..... it wasn't there before. "I said
-Maybe a camouflage spell, with that magic it can blend into the darkness. But it's enough to hide the flow of magic power. Dammit! Kazuto! You're on the right, I'm on the left, Yumi asked me to cover you.
-Yes!
Immediately after, Rin and I rushed at a dizzying pace, I ran while chanting my magic to wrap my sword with fire. Just when we were about to approach the demon, Yumi fired an arrow that hit the head of the demon but it was unharmed, which surprised us all 3. But now was not the time to think about how hard the skin was, at least the arrow had just distracted it, enough time for me and Rin to attack.
-Kyaaa !! - I jumped, trying to slash as hard as I could into the demon's body
{Whip} As soon as my blade came close, it disappeared.
- Where is it? - I said while touching the ground
-Be careful, it's using camouflage magic.
-Yes!
When we were still in a daze, trying to look around to see where the demon would appear suddenly ...
-Yumi! Behind me! - I yelled as soon as I saw the demon appear behind Yumi
Yumi just looked back when she raised her sharp claws to attack. Fortunately, Rin was able to throw her lance at the demon, and because of the spell she had cast before, the spear rushed forward with rapid speed, piercing the demon's left eye. {Grao} It roared, his foot slammed down, and his claws accidentally cut through Yumi, causing him to fall, and the demon continued to hide in the darkness.
-Yumi! - Rin and I rushed towards him
Yumi was lying flat on the stone floor, blood flowing from a deep cut in her leg.
-Dammit! Kazuto! - Rin raised her left hand
- Yeah! - I immediately understood, I slashed a part of Rin's Yukata sleeve with my sword
Rin then used that part to seal Yumi's wound, while I used healing magic on Yumi. Treatment is divided into 2 steps, recovery and regeneration. Recovery is essentially a form of regeneration, it can only reconstruct minor wounds, the heaviest are shallow cuts. Reconstruction can almost heal all wounds no matter how severe, as long as it is not a broken wound, it can be regenerated by the large amount of magic power infused into the wound to help it recover. format. Naturally, currently I was only able to use healing magic, so at the very least I could stop the bleeding for Yumi.
-It's okay for now. - Rin and I stopped using healing magic when the bleeding stopped
-What to do now? Perhaps it was because of your spear that the devil still didn't dare to attack, but I didn't know when it would return.
-Yes! Yumi being injured like this will make things more difficult.
-Hmm .....
-.... u ..... it hurts ...
-Yumi, luckily you woke up.
-What happened?
-I'll explain it clearly later, can you sit up now?
-Well ... but to do ... eh ... uh ..
I picked Yumi up, rather carried him to the corner and let him sit against the wall.
-Kazuto! Who let you touch my sister !?
-Sorry, I just think we need to make the best use of time possible.
-Huh? Saying that you have a plan?
-Not really, but I believe you will think of it.
-Huh? What do you mean?
-I'll go ahead and buy time, you stay and protect Yumi, is that okay? And when necessary, use magic to create light as much as possible.
-Well! Who allowed you to order? But okay, I'll do it your way this time.
-Yes! Please trust me. - I walked up while holding my thumb up
Although I look very confident on the outside, I'm actually trembling now. I stepped forward, standing in the middle of this "arena of death". After estimating enough distance, I put down my sword, chanting a spell of fire 10 times bigger than when I summoned my sword. "If it is used as a disguise for darkness, just make this place light up, and ..." - ".... there!". Although it was loud, my flames were not enough to make the demon escape from disguise, although my true intention was to see the blood stains. That's right, thanks to Rin, the demon now hiding in the darkness and approaching me was discovered. It was slowly approaching me, but it was smart enough not to attack. Just a little bit more, I just need to wait for it to approach and attack at that time. And then that time came, as soon as the demon was close enough, I picked up the sword and plunged it into the rock once again. The shrinking circle of fire formed a spiral of fire that burned near me. Although it could not burn it, the heat caused the demon to escape from disguise. Having determined the exact location of the demon now, I vigorously swung the sword and flames gathered at the demon's feet and then exploded as high as a pillar of fire. It roared loudly, I thought my "pillar of fire" had at least scorched its fur but I was wrong. After a few seconds of roar the demon stepped out as if nothing had happened. This made me a bit panicked, I jumped back trying to keep my distance from it. Its expression was now fierce as if it was cursing me. So maybe my fire didn't do it, but the problem is why it still looks so normal. Suddenly, I noticed that the demon's eyes which was normal now had been hit by Rin. "No way! Can it regenerate itself? If so, how do I defeat it now?" {Póc} The drops of water that fell into my nose at the time gave me an idea that could be said to be crazy at the time.
-Rin, when I give the signal, use the spell to create the strongest light possible, Yumi you should shoot the frozen arrow right here after that! - I shouted as loudly as possible so the two of them could hear it.
-But why...
-Just believe me!
As soon as I finished speaking, the demon suddenly rushed over, its huge foot pressing on me made me unable to move. It roared and tried to bite me, but I managed to block it with my sword.
-Don't think I'm so easy to eat! - I shouted, raising my left hand to chant the strongest burst spell that could shoot at the ceiling of the cave, the devil left me to dodge and then {Ram} the cave ceiling cracked a hole loudly, the water rushed down like a flood
-Rin, Yumi! Right now!
Rin used magic to create a light that made the demon dazzle and stand still, then the water poured down to where it was standing and Yumi archery froze the whole place. The whole waterfall now becomes a large icicle, as if this is a pillar to help the upper part from falling down.
-Fish! I was so close. I sighed and sat down
-Yes! It would have been better if he should have been frozen. - This is the first time I've seen Rin speak
-That's not a joke! - I smile wryly
- Anyway, come out ...
{Creak, creak, creak} The cracking sound of ice gives us a bad hunch. Purple light increasingly brightened up where the demon stood, and then {Boom} a whole piece of ice around the demon splashed out. The stone floor from there also shook and {Ram} broke, we kept falling down.
