"but It seems that her situation is not particularly good."
Although she still had some breath, she was getting weaker and weaker. If left alone like this, Grayfia might really die here.
Ryan had never intended to take her life. He just wanted to practice and get familiar with his strength. Unfortunately, he used too much force, which led to the current situation.
After thinking for a moment, Ryan raised his right hand and placed it on Grayfia's head.
"A thousand of magic."
Ryan closed his eyes and whispered the name of the new ability he had just unlocked.
The next moment, a large amount of information flooded into his mind like a wave. Among them were the magic attack techniques that the demons had just used, as well as the magic bullets and magic guns used by Grayfia... Ryan searched for a while before finally finding the healing magic.
Through the additional learning ability of "Thousands of Magic", Ryan learned all the magic he saw with his eyes one by one, then opened his eyes and used healing magic on Grayfia.
The power and effect of magic seem to be completely linked to the user's total magic power and proficiency.
As for proficiency, with the help of the ability of "Thousands of Magic", Ryan directly raised all the magic he learned to the pinnacle.
Therefore, under Ryan's healing light, the wounds on Grayfia's flesh healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and some of her broken ribs and internal organs were also miraculously restored to health.
"...Hmm~"
After an unknown amount of time, the silver-haired girl's eyelids trembled slightly and she woke up from her drowsiness.
Waiting for her vision to come into focus, the blurry vision gradually became clear, and Grayfia stared blankly ahead.
What just happened...
Raising her hand to gently support her dizzy head, Grayfia felt the inexplicable fatigue in her body and began to recall the memories before she fainted.
First, she went alone to support the Demon King's army in a fierce battle with the rebels.
And then... and then... a terrifying scene happened, like a nightmare that people don't even want to recall.
"So this is a dream?..."
If this was a dream, it would explain why I survived that terrible "natural disaster" that devoured the sky and the earth.
"Unfortunately, that was not a dream."
However, the male voice coming from above startled Grayfia and she looked hurriedly at the owner of the voice.
She saw a black-haired young man sitting on top of the huge rock she was leaning against, looking down at her with a smile on his face.
That face, that terrifying evil aura on his body, was undoubtedly the "culprit" who brought about the terrible natural disaster in Grayfia's "nightmare".
'escape!'
This was the only thought that came to Grayfia's mind after she realized that all this was not a dream but a cruel reality.
"Hmm!?"
However, Grayfia's body was like a rusty robot, sluggish and heavy, unable to stand up from the ground. Even the slightest movement would be accompanied by waves of pain that made people frown.
"I haven't completely healed your wounds, so I advise you to stay put."
Ryan looked at Grayfia who was trying to force herself to stand up, and reminded her slowly.
Just now he only helped Grayfia heal two-thirds of her injuries, to prevent her from attacking him again after she regained consciousness and causing trouble.
"...You said you saved me?"
"You can think of it that way."
Ryan shrugged.
Hearing this, Grayfia sat back down, looking at the black-haired young man above with a surprised expression. It was really unbelievable that she could survive the natural disaster storm that ravaged the earth intact.
Could it be that this person in front of me really saved me?
But why?
Isn't the purpose of releasing a calamity-level attack to kill himself?
If that's the case, why bother healing yourself?
Grayfia became even more suspicious.
Grayfia did not show any doubt on her face. She kept a cold face as always and asked Ryan: "Why... don't you kill me?"
"Why would I kill you?"
Ryan tilted his head, looking very confused.
"....."
Grayfia opened her mouth, but swallowed the words back.
Yes, why would he kill himself?
wrong!
Grayfia shook her head vigorously, looked at Ryan again, and confirmed in a cold voice: "You, aren't you an enemy?"
"Do you know me?"Ryan Asked Instead of answering.
Grayfia shook her head.
"Is there any grudge or hatred between you and me?"
Grayfia still shook her head.
"You don't know me, and we don't have any grudges against each other, so why should I kill you?"
Ryan was very confused and asked this question directly to Grayfia herself.
"Eh... B-but——"
Grayfia was confused.
This seems to make some sense.
Since we had never met before and had no grudge against each other, what reason did he have to kill me?
"But you just—"
The attack just now was undoubtedly enough to kill her, and many demons were torn to pieces in the natural disaster storm.
Ryan interrupted Grayfia's speech with an calm tone.
"I just attacked you because you attacked me first and wanted to kill me. I was just acting in self-defense."
"…Huh?"
Grayfia was a little confused.
What Ryan said made some sense, and she couldn't find any excuse to refute it.
After all, if I think about it carefully, it seems that I was the one who launched the attack first!
To be honest, Grayfia didn't know what she was thinking at the time. She had clearly sensed something unusual about the other party from the aura emanating from him, but when she came to her senses, she still couldn't help but attack him.
"You remember?"
"...Um."
"So, it's not me who's wrong, it's you. Since you did something wrong, shouldn't you give me a sincere apology?"
Ryan argued confidently, as if he was the most innocent victim.
"Yes, I'm sorry..."
——Eh!?
etc!
Why should I apologize when I am seriously injured?
Why should I apologize when I have lost so many subordinates?
Why do all the mistakes fall on me?
Grayfia's thoughts were in a mess.
Because the development of the situation was completely beyond her expectations, it was really - too weird!!!
