Kaifuku Jutsushi no Yarinaoshi ~ Sokushi Mahou to Skill Copy no Choetsu Heal Volume 5 Chapter 2

Thanks for reading~

Three days have pa.s.sed since I came to Buranikka.
When I arrived at Buranikka, I stupidly exposed myself, which let the star rabbit tribe find me.
Since I learnt from that, I have changed my appearance with【Recovery Heal】.

I'm sorry to Setsuna and Co., but because I don't have much to do, I have been restfully spreading my wings.
In the shortest period of time, it would at least take four more days for Kureha to come.

"At this rate, I'll become a hopeless case." (Kearuga)

Since I also have a surplus of money, I ended up living while doing whatever I want.
At this rate, my body will grow dull. I should do a bit of exercise.
Deciding that, I went outside.

I went towards the forest and am currently hunting.
The only thing I can think of doing is increasing my level. I smile wryly at myself.

From the start, I didn't have any hobby-like hobbies.
Raising apples and hunting. If I had free time, I would make sweets with apples and sell them to earn extra money, and other than that, I used to swing a sword while dreaming about becoming a hero someday.

It's too lonely. I guess I'll make a hobby-like hobby.
That area is probably my task from now on.
To live a fulfilling and happy life, I need to find a hobby.
I might even start fis.h.i.+ng.
While thinking about such things, I hunted monsters.

"It's been a while, but my skill in the bow hasn't declined." (Kearuga)

Since I used it for hunting back in the village, I can more or less use a bow.
I didn't copy another person's experience and techniques, but they are techniques I trained well by myself.
It matched my nature, so hunting with a bow is quite fun.

I killed another monster.
The one I killed is a tiny squirrel monster. Its size is small, but it can easily smash a human's skull, and is a monster with brutal teeth and jaw.
It's a monster I haven't fed to Setsuna and Co. and it possesses the genetics in it. I will properly smoke it and bring it back.
They will become stronger again.
Moreover…

"I can find quite a few from just searching for them." (Kearuga)

While searching for monsters, I have been carefully looking at the surroundings.
It's to find medicinal plants and mushroom to use as ingredients for my potion making hobby that has actual profit. As I am usually desperately babysitting, I don't get around to it that much.

I'm happy I could find toxic and highly effective ingredients this close to the town.
As expected of the demon's territory. It's because the atmosphere and ground in this area is densely filled with mana.

"What should I make?" (Kearuga)

I have specially obtained such wonderful ingredients.
It would be a waste not to make a new potion.
I have made a satisfactory aphrodisiac potion already, and it's been verified enough by Setsuna and Co. It's about time to begin a different potion.

It's convenient to have things like paralysis poison and nerve poison.
Truth serums are charming as well, but I don't need it as long as I can peek through their memories with【Recovery Heal】.
I'll make an extraordinary paralysis poison by combining the monster poison I had been saving up bit by bit during hunts and using the ingredients I harvested today.
… I feel like I will be able to make something good. A paralysis poison that will make them fully conscious, despite not being able to move a single finger, and give them enough pain to make them think that dying would be better.
The good part about this, is that they are not even allowed to cut off their tongues. Since they can't even let out a voice, they can be quietly appreciated.
If I think about it carefully, this might be my current hobby.
Alright, I'll put in a lot more spirit into making potions than I was before. It's quite a productive hobby, so it's nice.

Since I took a break from monster hunting and medicinal plant gathering, I go out to the highway from the forest.
I exercised well, so I feel like I'll be able to comfortably sleep today.
I grasp the hilt of my sword.

"… That's quite a wild way of riding." (Kearuga)

I can hear a sound from far away.
It's the footsteps of a raptor, and they are considerably violent. They must be making the raptor excessively run. A dispute is happening.
I invoke【Jade Eye】to enhance my eyesight, and look in their direction.
With this【Jade Eye】, I can see them without a problem even if they are a long way off.

"Wh!?" (Kearuga)

I unintentionally raised a strange voice.
The one who was riding the raptor is【Sword Saint】Kureha.

With her silver hair waving in the air, she is desperately riding the raptor. The raptor is blowing bubbles, and it seems like it will collapse at any time.
Impossible.
I called Kureha to Buranikka. However, thinking about the number of days, the letter shouldn't have even arrived yet.
Besides, her appearance is weird.
For someone who takes care of her personal appearance, Kureha's clothes are unusually dirty and her hair is disarrayed, as if she hasn't groomed herself at all.

"Is she being chased by someone?" (Kearuga)

Behind her, there are two raptors that are being straddled by knights.
It seems that Kureha is being chased by the knights and is escaping.

Kureha's raptor that continued being overworked fainted and collapsed. It must have reached its limit from being overused.
She immediately dealt with the sudden tumbling, splendidly landed, and took a stance after drawing her sword.
The two knights stopped their raptors, drew their sword and prepared to charge.

It appears that Kureha intends on fighting them.
That gives me a sense of discomfort.
If she's drawing her sword because they caught up with her, she should have counter attacked much faster.
Kureha should be able to easily defeat just two knights.

I forcefully run like the wind through a shortcut in the forest's crooked highway.
There shouldn't be any need for covering her, but I have a bad premonition.
… This face would make me appear like an enemy.

"【Transformation Heal】" (Kearuga)

I return to my Kearuga appearance.
Kureha and the two knights riding raptors collide with each other. … Just before that, I jump right in between Kureha and the knights, drawing my sword.

"Kureha, you came faster than I thought you would." (Kearuga)

When I said that, Kureha's beautiful, sky-blue eyes became round from surprise.

"Kearuga? Why!? Did you come to save me?" (Kureha)
"As you can see." (Kearuga)

Without even caring that I appeared, the knights riding raptors brandished their swords.
One went for Kureha, and the other one attacked me.
I dodge it, and stroke his wrist with a sword. Then, his artery is cut off, flowing out blood like a water fountain.
… His charges are that he tried to kill me with his sword, and that he tried to attack Kureha, who is my property. That much is enough for his charges. It's worthy of certain death.

"Kearuga, don't drop your guard!" (Kureha)

Kureha, who is fighting the other knight, shouts.

"… This must be a lie. Is this guy even human." (Kearuga)

While his blood is still spurting out like a water fountain, the knight turned and slashed at me.
I stop that sword.
Heavy. His physical strength is unthinkable for an ordinary knight. What is this power.

It's impossible for his sword power to not fall at all with the amount of blood he lost.
When I enhance my physical power with mana and repel his sword with all my strength, the knight took distance.
Let alone collapsing from losing blood, his blood stopped, and even the spurted out blood turned into black fog, returning to him.

"Kureha, what are these guys? I at least know they aren't human." (Kearuga)
"I don't know either… at the very least, they were originally human." (Kureha)

Probably because Kureha is accustomed to fighting with these guys, she aims for their legs. It seems that cutting off their legs and taking distance serves as a way of stalling.
Of course, their severed legs either immediately stick back on or grow, letting them rush at you immediately.

I really can't keep going on with this.
It's impossible with a sword. There's no need to be fixated on swords. I'll efficiently dispose of them.
Thinking that, I change my abilities with【Transformation Heal】and allot my status to specialise in magic power.
The knights who took distance charge at me while accelerating their raptors.
I extend my hand straight out and…

"If they don't die from being cut, I'll burn them to nothing. Rank three magic,【Fire Storm】." (Kearuga)

I release a storm of fire.
Unlike Freya, I compensate for the lack of power increasing skills by distributing my status to specialise in magic offensive power.
Even so, I can't use any transcendental magic that surpa.s.ses rank six magic like Freya. I released the advanced level magic, rank three【Fire Storm】.
Just like it's name, it's magic that creates a storm of fire.
Together with the raptor, the knight becomes wrapped in fire.

When fighting a monster that has high regeneration abilities, burning them is the best thing.
If they become ash, they can't regenerate for s.h.i.+t.

"Kearuga, you are too unreasonable. Not only【Recovery Heal】and fencing, to think you have even mastered magic." (Kureha)
"I'm confident in the number of hands I can play. Kureha, you said they were originally human, but do you know something?" (Kearuga)
"They were originally knights. …If I made a single mistake, I would have become like that too." (Kureha)

A human who is clad in black mana.
Those words come to mind.
No way, did the Dioral Kingdom obtain a technique to remake a human into such a monster?

"At any rate, I'm glad I met you right now. It's a good thing the letter reached you early." (Kearuga)
"Why do you know about priest Bullet's letter?" (Kureha)
"What are you talking about?" (Kearuga)
"… Thanks to priest Bullet, I was able to escape from the clutches of the Dioral king. To gain the strongest pieces under his control, he was trying to dye priest Bullet and I with the black power the knights had right now. Priest Bullet realized that plan, and sacrificed himself to let me escape." (Kureha)

Priest Bullet sacrificed himself to let Kureha escape? That's not a funny joke.
It sounds as if that shota h.o.m.o psychopath is a good person.
I look at Kureha's eyes.
… At the very least, it doesn't look like a joke.

"Let me hear about it in more detail later. So you escaped here by following priest Bullet's words, and not my letter, right?" (Kearuga)
"Correct." (Kureha)
"That being said, you did well escaping. It must have been the worst compatibility for you who can only use sword techniques." (Kearuga)
"That's true. Every time they caught up with me, I either killed or stole the raptor they were using, and finely cut them up into pieces of meat… but even so, stalling for time was my limit, and they would immediately return to normal. Besides, unlike me, since they don't feel fatigue, I couldn't shake them off. Because of that, I couldn't get any decent sleep for around two days." (Kureha)

That's a nightmare.
… The worst a.s.sumption is that all the knights and soldiers in the Dioral army become like this.
I can tell from exchanging blows with a sword.
They have become unbelievably strong.
Furthermore, they are immortal. I don't want to imagine a knight order that is made up of those kinds of knights.
No country could win against them. The amount of magicians that can use high ranking fire magic are so few that they are countable. They would be taken down in the blink of an eye.

"Oi oi this must be a joke. This much huh." (Kearuga)

Despite burning them to ashes, the smoke and ashes gathered in one spot, making a human shape.
… I have never seen such an absurd regeneration before.
It's even impossible for monsters that specialize in regeneration.
I guess I'll use my last resort.
I run up to the knights that steadily return to a human shape and touch them with my hand.

"【Deterioration Heal】" (Kearuga)

I use the most offensive【Recovery Heal】I have.
That is a power which changes them into a wrong form.
The knights completely repair… into the shape I changed them to.

"Kearuga, what exactly, is this?" (Kureha)
"I remade them into a form that doesn't function as a human." (Kearuga)

I'm experimenting various things.
I made one person have their blood that flowed out from the heart stop and unable to travel to their other internal organs, returning directly to the heart.
I made another person have their limbs unable to move.
They won't die, but they can't move a single step, and all they could do was squirm while saying 'auau'.

"Why are they unable to regenerate?" (Kureha)
"They can regenerate. However, my【Deterioration Heal】distorts their correct shape. His condition where he can't move a single step is his regenerated appearance. Not being able to die is more pitiful this way." (Kearuga)

I dig a hole with earth magic.
And then, I drop the knights in it and cover them with dirt.

"That is Kearuga's power… it is tremendous." (Kureha)
"As long as I can touch them, there's nothing I can't break." (Kearuga)

And even that weakness has been conquered by the【G.o.d Made Treasure Tool】Georgius.
Rather than that…

"I'm glad you're safe, Kureha. After hearing there is a sign of unrest in the Dioral Kingdom, I couldn't stand still and waited at Buranikka after sending a letter. The letter was for nothing, but I'm happy I can meet you again like this." (Kearuga)

I embrace Kureha.
Kureha blushes and returns the embrace.

"I am also happy I met you. I almost cried when you came to save me." (Kureha)

Kureha's eyes are wet.
I put my lips on her lips. Kureha doesn't resist. Then, we entangle our tongues.

Since she was fighting in a risky, life or death situation just before, her instincts are are trying to make her leave behind genes. Kureha becomes aroused.
Kureha is rubbing her inner thighs.

"I rented an inn. Let's continue after moving to the inn. … Or else, do you want to rest first? You haven't slept for a long time after all." (Kearuga)
"No, I want you to love me first. Let's do it straight after I clean my body… I always yearned for you and I was about to turn strange." (Kureha)

She tempts me with obscene eyes.
She's a good girl. I'll give her plenty of love today.
Giving love to Kureha's trained adult body is different to the usual, and I feel like I will be able to enjoy myself.
