Volume 1 Chapter 54 VS Hero Party
One day, I treated the Demon Lord, and his condition started to stabilize.
"Demon Lordddd! The hero, Sir Makhen, has come to kill you!"
The hero entered the Demon Lord's bedroom.
Behind the red-haired young man were a paladin, a magician, and a summoner.
They were likely members of Makhen's party.
"Hey, Zeke! What are you doing here!?"
The hero didn't know the internal situation of the Demon Lord (Curse of the Ancestor).
Of course, he also didn't know why I was called here.
"Listen, Makhen. The Demon Lord was sick. I was called to heal him."
"Sick? Why would a mere beast of a doctor be called for the Demon Lord's illness!?"
"Let me explain from the beginning. We don't have to fight the Demon Lord anymore."
I tried to persuade him, but the hero shook his head.
"Shut up! You must be under Mind Control by the Demon Lord...!"
"...Huh? How does that make sense?"
It seemed he wasn't willing to listen.
"...I'm sorry, Lord Zeke."
The Demon Lord bowed deeply.
After the curse was lifted, I realized that the Demon Lord had weakened due to the Curse of the Ancestor being broken.
He probably gained high magical power and abilities in exchange for the curse.
The Demon Lord couldn't fight.
So then....
"Zeke, if you get in our way, we'll kill you!"
"...I see. Then I'll take you on."
The hero party readied their weapons.
Meanwhile, I was unarmed.
It's not like I aimed to kill the hero.
"Here we go!"
Thud...!
The hero and the paladin charged in.
...But the hero was strangely slow.
"[Paralyze]"
I activated the skill.
The paladin quickly noticed and jumped high to avoid it.
"Ugh...!"
Meanwhile, the hero was hit by Paralyze and couldn't move.
"Damn it! Not this again! I even prepared for Paralyze, so why!?"
I noticed a necklace around the hero's neck.
It must be some kind of item that grants resistance to status effects.
"Take thisss!"
The paladin charged at me with a slash.
But his movements were crystal clear thanks to my Eye of God.
I deflected his rapid strikes with my hands.
"Not bad. I'm impressed that a healer has such martial skill."
"Thanks for the compliment!"
I launched a kick at the paladin's stomach.
But he lowered his stance, ready to defend.
"[Unmoving Fortress]!"
The paladin activated his skill.
I went ahead and delivered the kick.
Thud!
A dull sound echoed.
I thought it was a skill to boost defense, but...
"Gwaaaaaah!"
The paladin was sent flying with incredible force.
He crashed into the wall and collapsed.
"It was supposed to nullify all physical attacks in exchange for immobilization... Yet you broke through it... You're a monster."
With 2 of the vanguard taken out, only the rearguard remained.
But both of them were already prepared to attack.
"Skill [Multi-Cast]!"
The magician activates their skill.
Four magic circles appear around them.
"Here I go! [Nova Strike]! [Gale Slicer]! [Grand Cross]! [Divine Saber]!"
Four great magic spells are aimed at me.
But I won't run away.
If I escape now, it will harm the Demon Lord and his daughter, Elaina.
I try out a new power.
"[Rule Breaker]"
Bosh...!
The four magic spells vanished like mist.
"Y-You mean the Rule Breaker?! The technique used by the legendary evil god that nullifies all miracle techniques?!"
The magician sat on their buttocks and their voice trembled.
"[Summon Demon!]"
The summoner's summons a demon.
He summons a great demon with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a spider.
"Kill them allll! Everyone here is an enemy, so slaughter them allll!"
As Makhen screams, the spider demon lunges at me.
I use Frost Alchemy to create [it].
With a shining blade, I slice the demon in 2.
"Wha... what? No, no, noooo! Why do you have that!? Why do you have itttt!?"
In my hand was the [Holy Sword].
The very one Makhen once wielded.
From the moment I became the Ultimate Healer, I heard an announcement that I had been chosen as the wielder of the Holy Sword.
"That's mine, you thief! Give it back! Give it back to me!"
As the Paralyze wears off, the hero tries to punch me.
"Stop, Makhen!"
The paladin grabs his arm to stop him.
"Let go! Have you been mind-controlled by the Demon Lord too!?"
"He was never controlled in the first place."
"How do you know!?"
"I can tell. He wasn't serious."
"Huh!?"
Makhen's face twists in shock.
The paladin looks at me and nods.
I sheathe the Holy Sword.
"If he were serious, we'd have been wiped out in an instant."
I'm glad there's someone here who understands.
"Our mission is over. He, Lord Zeke, has severed the ties between the Demon Lord and the hero."
"Damn it...! I won't accept this! I'll never accept this! Damn it alllll!"
