Chapter 76 - INFINITELY REPLENISHING HP (2/2)

I feel bad for Yumir, but it’s easier for me to have her die to erase the debuffs.

I dodged the 『Darkness Ball』 that was trying to disturb my casting and then…

「A second time!?」 (Jalousie)

「Hey, stay there!」 (Yumir)

This time, she was revived before she fell over.

I’m doing really well in this match.

I’m activating 『Revive』 in a far more timely manner than usual.

「-Hah!? I’m not dead, I’m not dead!? This time didn’t count!」 (Yumir)

「No, you died you know? You were counting them?」 (Hind)

Seeing that, the duo of Zelos and Jalousie completely lost their calm.

And the audience excitedly cheered each time she revived.

…Isn’t the timing at which they cheer weird?

「N-No way, for this to…a-aim for the guy! We are aiming for the guy first! Do it as if your life depended on it, Jalousie! That is our only chance at winning!」 (Zelos)

「Got it, big bro! Here I goooooooooo!!」 (Jalousie)

「-You think I’ll let you?」 (Yumir)

Seeing Yumir intercept him that fast, I cast 『Healing Plus』.

It takes longer than Healing, but it takes way less time than Revive.

The HP of Yumir, who was facing Jalousie, was dramatically healed.

「Wha!? -D-Damn yooooooooooouuuuuuu!!」 (Jalousie)

「!!」 (Yumir)

Seeing that, Jalousie grew irritated and swung the mace with all his might.

Yumir was blown away due to the difference in body weight and strength, taking advantage of that gap, Jalousie used 『Healing』 on himself to heal a small amount of his own HP.

As expected of someone that had kept winning until now, it seems like they didn’t win by luck.

Counting this healing, Jalousie’s HP is about 40% left.

「Nuaaaaaaah!」 (Jalousie)

Then, he came this way.

I calmly took some distance-

「Hind, a spell is coming!」 (Yumir)

「What!?」 (Hind)

『Slow』 should still be on CD.

If it’s an offensive spell, Jalousie and me are too close though…

The spell Zelos chose was…

「Hahahaha!! I won’t let you get away!」 (Zelos)

It was the offensive spell 『Graviton Wave』 that engulfed everyone but him.

It covered a wide range and produced high gravity, our bodies felt heavier and our HP was slowly shaved off.

As if he was used to being inside it, Jalousie calmly approached me while taking damage.

I see, when they are pressured, they do this to disrupt the opponent’s pace and win.

This shows the magical resistance of a Shinto priest, even if Jalousie fights under this gravity, he won’t take much damage.

I believe it’s a good combination attack.

In fact, right now, it looks like I won’t be able to escape his mace.

However, my eyes already have seen the figure behind Jalousie that was swinging around.

「-Oh, it’s another gravity spell! However, this is far better than being afflicted with Slow!」 (Yumir)

Having experienced Riizu’s 『Graviton Wave』, Yumir caught up to Jalousie and cut at his back.

It being a strong attack, he entered a long hit stop state, she stopped Jalousie a few moments before Jalousie was going to swing his mace at me.

Casting a spell while taking damage under this gravity wave would be impossible anyways.

…In that case, I swung my staff with all my body weight towards the target in front of me.

He was able to block it with his shield, but Jalousie lost his balance…

「Hahahaha!! You are still like a fish on the chopping board!」 (Yumir)

「From time to time, you sure do talk like vulgar villain…well, you are correct in this situation though.」 (Hind)

「Let me go! Get away from meeeeee!! Big broooooo!!」 (Jalousie)

Yumir stepped on the right arm that was holding the mace and she smiled as she was releasing her aura.

I put my body weight on top of the shield that was being held by his left arm, so even if this guy is strong, he probably won’t be able to shake free from the body weight of two people.

With this our victory should be certain, it would also be fine if they surrendered.

Otherwise…

「Nuh? My body feels lighter.」 (Yumir)

「Yup, it seems like the spell has worn off.」 (Hind)

The effect of Graviton Wave is also gone.

Even if Zelos doesn’t give up and uses 『Darkness Ball』, we will be able to take it on without breaking our stance.

With our current HP it will certainly not be fatal, so even if we are pulled in a bit, as long as we don’t let Jalousie break free it will be fine.

As a result, as expected our HP didn’t even decrease by 30% and the dark orb’s suction quietly died down.

While looking at Zelos, who was frantically charging his MP, I released 『Area Heal』 at our feet.

Among the multitude of spells, healing magic has the special trait of only affecting your allies.

Because of that, Jalousie who was being stepped on by us wasn’t healed and we recovered to full HP due to the white light.

Zelos’ expression was dyed in despair.

「Don’t give up big bro! Bring down the iron hammer down on these normies! I can’t forgive a couple that has such good coordinatioooooon!! Nuaaaaaaaaah! I want to be popular toooooooooooooo!!」 (Jalousie)

「「I told you we are not a couple!!」」 (Hind and Yumir)

「Guh! Gah! Gueh!? -Gah…」 (Jalousie)

「Jalousieeeeeeee!?」 (Zelos)

Jalousie became incapacitated, our HP and MP was back to full and me stood so that Zelos was between us.

I believe he would surrender in this situation? Or that was what I thought but…

「You guys, go and explodeeeeeeeeee!! Uoooooooooooooooooo!!」 (Zelos)

Since he brandished his staff to face us as he shouted, Yumir mercilessly struck him down in a single blow with 『Burst Edge』.

Zelos was blown away to the far end of the stage due to the explosion of magic power and fell down.
