Chapter 24 - Negotiation (1/2)

Negotiation

—Raust—

「… It was that bad, huh?」

「E-Even still, I’m still relieved! I never thought those guys…」

Cutting the existence of the magician of the Wolf of Calamity off my mind, I looked at Narsena while saying words filled with amazement.

Thinking that I was criticizing her, she desperately tried to express her gratitude.

But those words of mine wasn’t actually directed for Narsena.

That amazement was for myself who even forget that Narsena wouldn’t lose against Morzeral and his party after seeing her situation.

Now that I think about it, I was clearly flustered before.

After all, Narsena has an ability comparable to other first-class adventurers.

If it’s Narsena, she should be able to cope with the Wolf of Calamity alone.

Thinking so, I secretly felt ashamed of myself who was getting flustered over nothing.

However, I had no intention to forgive Morzeral and his party.

「Shit! Shit!」

Apart from us, the only other person here was the Wolf of Calamity’s healer who was desperately tried to heal Morzeral.

But, it was not that effective.

Apparently, the injury caused by my blow on Morzeral’s body was too severe that the healing ability of the healer couldn’t hope to stabilize his condition.

Seeing the situation, I felt like letting out a sigh.

The healer in front of me, he’s a man who had always boasted that he’s an elite.

But, in reality?

How can he boast with only this much? While leaking a weak sigh, I activated my healing magic.

「《Heal》《Heal》《Heal》」

While I didn’t say the keyword simultaneously, the magic was activated with almost no time lag, and the effects overlapped.

That was a technique I acquired accidentally as a by-product of when I tried to combine magic power and ki desperately.

This was another makeshift technique, by activating multiple spells in a short time, the effects were overlapped.

There was no side effect for this, it was used mainly for its overlapping effects.

However, the magic stone I had in my hand strengthen the effect of my 《Heal》 more.

It was a magic tool that doubles the effect of magic.

It was a defective magic tool, only available to use for people who were capable of using magic power and ki.

But in return, the effect was guaranteed.

「Uh, uuuu……」

Skill and magic tool, with those increasing the power of my 《Heal》, Morzeral’s wound, which the healer from Wolf of Calamity couldn’t heal, was instantly healed.

「Wha-!?」

「O-Oniisan? What are you doing!?」

Seeing the action I took, the healer from Wolf of Calamity and Narsena raised a surprised voice, however, I healed Morzeral not because I wanted to save him.

When I wanted to explain that to the two……

「Don’t fuck with me! What the fuck are you!」

… I was interrupted by the emotional outburst from the healer.

The healer glared at me who was supposed to have saved his companion.

「What kind of defect you are to able to do all of this! It’s strange, isn’t it! You should be just another incompetent human that should have groveled before us instead…」

With bloodshot eyes and a hint of the flame of jealousy on his smile, the healer yelled.

Why are you not a defect and other abusing words toward me.

「Shut up.」

「Agh!」

However, I didn’t have any shred of interest on what the healer said.

So I kicked the healer to take his consciousness.

Honestly, I didn’t particularly care for whatever they do.

After forming a party with Narsena, I didn’t feel anything toward the people who oppressed me.

However, I would absolutely never forgive those who attempted to harm Narsena.

That was why I didn’t kill Morzeral.

Such light punishment was not enough.

After I decided that, I opened my mouth in a certain direction.

「This is definitely a crime, isn’t it?」

「Huh?」

At that moment, the guild staff that was trying to run away from this place was shaken by my question……

A bit after I called him out, one of the guild staff appeared.
