Chapter 28 (1/2)

Chapter 28: The only magic

For the time being, I succeeded in turning the demon into a black lump, but I couldn't relax just yet.

「Gu……」

Because the black lump just moved.

「Ah, this guy still isn't dead yet?」

「T-That was quite a scary remark Kouta-san」

A corner of the town was even melted, normally one would say the demon is scary.

Rather it seems that the slightly darkened skin is recovering.

Is it a regeneration ability?

「Just how do I defeat this guy…… highest tier magic with 【Expand Range】 or is attacking with a combination of three kinds of attribute magic enough to annihilate it?」

「N-No, I think that might be over doing it a little Kouta-san」

「What do you mean over doing it, isn't he still breathing?」

Rather when I look at the black lump

「It’s useless, Kouta you can't defeat a demon」

Flame's voice came from behind.

When I look back, Flame is leaning against a wall in a groggy sort of state.

「Eh? Even with highest tier magic?」

「Yes, he definitely will not die it takes a long time but he will regenerate. Just to have even been able to win this one time……it's a miracle…」

「No, well, it was thanks to the cooperation of Flame, however…」

The part about it being immortal, I didn't think that could possible be true.

「Because demons are immortal, so unless we slice him into pieces and separate them, then freeze them, and seal them behind a barrier」

「Oi-oi, that’s a grotesque way of thinking」

Because they don't die, I understand there is no other way but…

「No, only a few people can use sealing magic so we don't have enough people」

「Well……then, what are you going to do?」

「I will report to the heads of the adventurer's guild and magician's guild. Kouta and the rest, please keep an eye on it」

As she said that, Flame began crawling towards the direction of the guilds.

「Ah, I-I will accompany you!」

When Media saw the battered condition Flame was in she also quickly followed along.

Well, for the time being, I wonder if it's alright to leave it to those two?

If it somehow didn't work out in the end……escaping might be the only way.

「Even after being reducing to this he is still able to regenerate……」

It's rather disturbing when I think about it.
