『That hole, it’s regenerating at a slower rate than before』
The large hole was created by Sierra and Zelos Reed’s attack. And of course, it had started to regenerate at a steady rate, but it was obviously closing up much slower than when we first had attacked it.
Had it taken so much damage that it even affected its regeneration power?
There was also the possibility that it was because of the effect of the Sacrament of the Evil God.
I could also see that its evil spirit flowed out of the Great Magic Beast into Sierra and Zelos Reed at a fairly high rate. With so much power being sucked out of it, it was no surprise that it started to affect the Great Magic Beast.
Just when Fran was about to call out to Sierra and Zelos Reed, we heard a voice called out to us.
「Looks like you’re having a hard time here」
「Rhyn?」
It was Rhyn, the spirit, that suddenly appeared before us.
『Did you come to support us?』
「Yes. I was hoping I could be of some help」
『Hey, does that thing has any weaknesses?』
「Well, yes it has」
『What? For real?』
「Really?」
Rhyn nodded casually at my question. Both Fran and I then couldn’t help but question her back.
『Could it be, you know where its magic stone is? After all, we can defeat it if we can destroy its magic stone』
「Well, of course, it has a magic stone, but it’s still under the seal for now」
According to Rhyn, the current Great Magic Beast was only a fraction of its true size. To put it in human terms, the current magic beast was only the size of an arm.
Naturally, the magic stone and the other parts of its body are still under the seal.
「What’s its weakness then?」
「It was not really its weakness, but...」
As she said so, Rhyn pointed to a spot a little farther away from the hole that was made by Sierra and Zelos Reed’s attack.
「Look over there」
「Where?」
『...Aah! That small wound!?』
「It’s such a small wound, but it heals so slowly, doesn’t it? And look at the tentacle that was there」
I then looked at the tentacle near the area of that small wound. I see now, some of the tentacles have not begun to regenerate and are still in tatters. There were so many of them that I hadn’t noticed until now.
「Tentacles around the wound still has some magic power in it that is similar to Life Magic」
「Life Magic...?」
Fran muttered and patted Urushi on the back. Urushi reacted to it and looked back at Fran on her back.
Yes, the tentacles were indeed indistinguishable, but the small wound on its body was definitely the marks of Urushi’s bite.
『I see now! It must be the effect of his Regeneration Inhibition skill!』
I had never pay much attention to this skill before, so I was completely unaware of it, but Urushi had a skill that could inhibit an opponent’s regeneration.
And apparently, it worked well against the Great Magic Beast.
「It’s not much of a weakness, but that tremendous regeneration power is ultimately due to skill. So, any magic or ability that could block it will work. Urushi should be able to do damage to it more efficiently」
The slow regeneration of the wound meant that the Great Magic Beast would take more magic and evil energy than ever before to close the wound.
I think Rhyn was trying to tell us to involve Urushi more in our attack. Even though his single attack power was inferior to Fran’s, if he kept attacking it we could expect the Great Magic Beast to take a lot of damage later.
Under normal circumstances, it was the most efficient way to go.
Well, under normal circumstances, that was.
『Fran, there’s got to be a technique in the Life Magic system to block others healing ability』
Urushi lost one of his eyes for a while because of it. But that was also probably why the evolved Urushi got the regeneration inhibition skill though...
(Should we use Master’s points?)
『Are you sure?』
(Nn!)
I still have a few self-evolution points. Moreover, I already possessed Life Magic.
After discussing it with Fran, I decided to put my points into Life Magic.
『However, I don’t know at what level I’ll learn that technique. Hmm... Well, let’s just raise it one level at a time then...』
《That magic can be learned at Life Magic Lv.5》
『Ooh! Really!?』
《Yes. The Life Magic, Heal Disturb. It is possible to temporarily inhibit the opponent’s ability to heal and regenerate when they are wounded by the user’s weapon or body》
『Bingo!』
I followed Announcer-san’s advice and raised my Life Magic to Lv.5.
『Alright! I learned it!』
Life Magic, Heal Disturb. It was just as Announcer-san said. First, we needed to put this technique on our weapon or body, then the effect would take effect when we attacked our opponent, and it would hinder our opponent’s ability to heal or regenerate their wounds for a while.
But in the Great Magic Beast’s case, it seemed that its body was too big to exert this skill effect on its entire body. Also, in Sierra and Zelos Reed’s case, it seemed that evil spirits originally had properties that inhibit regeneration. As expected of an enemy of all living things.
『Anyway, I’ve learned another good techniques now』
In fact, I was more than satisfied with this one.
Life Magic wasn’t just magic that interfered with one’s ability to recover. But it was a line of techniques that affected the physical bodies of all living things.
There were techniques to increase one’s recovery speed of physical abnormalities, techniques to strengthen one’s muscles and nerves, and there were also techniques to make one’s body more robust and increase one’s physical strength.
At first, I didn’t understand what it meant, so I asked Announcer-san, but a technique to increase physical strength was exactly what Fran needed right now.
「What technique did you learn?」
『This technique is amazing. After all, by increasing one’s physical strength, it reduces the backlash of using other techniques and skills!』
In other words, it was magic for people like Fran now, who suffer from severe injuries every time she used a technique. With this, not only the backlash of the Brilliant Light Rush but also the damage caused by the burden of using Heaven Judgement and Sheaths of Wind would be greatly reduced.
Well, we won’t know until we try it.
Anyway, Fran was not going to stop even if I told her to. It was regrettable, but the time to use it would come soon. If possible, I didn’t want her to be reckless for the time being...
