Chapter 50

Saying that it’s a battle, but actually the things that we need to do is very simple.

「《Smart Operation》.」

I casted the support magic for raising the power of magic attack on Mia who is in my arms. Because Mia hardly attacks with magic, hence there isn’t much chance for this magic to showcase itself.

But now it is different, her magic is the main force.

Mia quickly pointed out the index finger on her right hand and aimed it at the hellhound who is chasing after Nagatsuki Sakura.

「《Lightning》」

A ray of light linked Mia’s index finger and the hellhound together.

I smelled the stench.

That was a lightning strike. The hellhound stopped moving for a moment, with its body paralysed. It seems that the electric magic attack by Mia, gave it great damage.

It’s effective, then once more.

「《Lightning》」

Mia continued to use magic. The hellhound took it head on and gave a groan.

Enemies are not fools, once it realised that Sakura who was jumping around is only a bait, it turned towards us.

There is about 20 metres between us.

The hellhound kick off, and dashed towards us. It accelerated in a short time, and closed the distance in an instant.

「《High Jump》」

Mia casted magic on me. As 《High Jump》of Wind Magic Rank 2 says, it is a magic that increases jumping power. I got the power of the wind and jumped.

Mia and I were flying in the air.

Then we landed on the branch nearby, with a close brush with the hellhound.

「Grr…..o.」

Mia moaned in a low voice, the intense shaking had tortured her weakened body. The petite girl clenched her teeth to endure the pain.

I could only increase the strength of my arms that are carrying Mia, what I should do now is to depend on her.

Damn it—— I cursed at myself in my heart.

The hellhound stopped quickly, and glared hatefully at us who escaped above. I was initially afraid that it will jump or touch here, but it seems that I over worried.

Then that fellow stopped below us. Completely not moving.

「Mia, bind it.」

「Nn, 《Earth Bound》.」

Seeing the grass near the hellhound becoming like animals, binding its 4 limbs. The hellhound kept struggling, attempting to pull its legs out from the magical vines.
