Chapter 131: Fatality

Due to the urgency of the situation, I quickly channeled my mana to Yuto so that he can immediately activate the teleportation circle.

"Look out guys! Projectiles incoming!" Yuri shouted as she detected several arrow-like beams heading in our location.

"Focus on channeling Kazuma! I will take care of this!" Raigaki ordered.

"Okay!"

After my confirmation, Raigaki slams his palms to the ground and channeled his mana straight to the ground.

"NO ONE SHALL PASS!"

The same barrier that appeared before in the cafeteria covered our surroundings. However, when the arrow-like beams hit the barrier, it immediately shows some cracks and Raigaki puked out blood when the barrier showed a crack.

"Hurry up Kazuma! Don't distract yourself! The longer we stay here, the more the enemy will send us more of those attacks!" Godou shouted.

"I am doing the best I can so please hang in there!"

Yes, I am doing the maximum output I can do to transfer the mana to Yuto but it is not really fast and reliable. It takes a lot of time just to charge it up to maximum capacity and if I try to rush it, there might be some sort of consequences and might mess up the process of teleporting everyone of us to the infirmary. I can't mess it up.

Then, Inari's voice echoes inside my head.

"Master, if you want to deploy a protection barrier, I can use my protection barrier in the meantime. Although it can't compete against the Domain of Balmung, it is much superior in hardness compared to the barrier your comrade is using."

"Can you do it?"

"Of course! I am a deity so erecting a barrier is a simple matter to me!"

"Then please do. The enemy is strong this time and Raigaki is not specialized in barrier making and it will eventually fall if he remained as the one tanking all of those attacks!"

"Then leave it to me master," Inari said and she was summoned out after she agreed.

"HOLY BARRIER!"

A gold flower-shaped barrier appeared on our surroundings, covering even the barrier erected by Raigaki. The arrow-like beams didn't stop though and continue to rain down on us. But thankfully, the barrier managed to hold on. However, I didn't expect that the damage piercing attack that Raigaki experienced will also be applied to Inari.

"GHHH!" Inari bit her lip to avoid screaming.

Godou quickly supported her as she was about to fall.

"Thank you, but I am fine, these arrows can transfer damage from the barrier to the user so it will be really troublesome to deal with but since I am a deity, defeating me using these arrow beams is not enough to bring me down."

While listening, Yuto finally stopped his focus and opened his eyes after receiving the channeled mana. "Master, the teleportation circle is ready! We can now go anytime!"

"Activate it immediately!" I commanded.

"Roger!"

Yuto immediately slams the ground from where he was standing and released the stored mana in his palm. The stored mana flowed out and formed into the teleportation circle similar to the one we used earlier. It started spinning and in a few seconds, it started to glow.

"MASS TELEPORT!"

Fwoooooooo BOOM!

The teleportation was instantaneous and in a split second, we teleported into the infirmary. Otome is already waiting for us and currently closed the infirmary for now.

"Looks like I am right when you guys are coming," Otome calmly said and helped Yaya who was still holding her bleeding eye.

"Can you heal her wound?" Raigaki asked.

Otome claps her hands and Otome lost consciousness. This was the first time I saw Otome perform healing magic since, during the time I am being healed, I am unconscious, and during the reclamation of the Phantasmal Reality, Otome is in the backlines providing healing and support to everyone.

Raigaki lay Yaya on the bed and Otome snaps her fingers which causes for the appearance of a small ball of light to hover above Otome's shoulders. She examines the bleeding eyes of Yaya and cast a little bit of magic that I have no idea what it's purpose. The only thing I saw during the examination is the appearance of the small magic circle spinning above the eye of Yaya. I clearly saw it due to the ball of light that Otome used illuminated her eye.

It took a few minutes before Otome sighed and shook her head.

"Yaya's injury is too deep and even though it was not a direct attack but an attack that was directly transferred from a shikigami, the tissues on her injured eye are no longer viable to be healed. Not all wounds can be healed by healing magic and her wound is included in those cases.

"Is there no other way? I also got hit by the arrow but not in the eyes, I was hit in my body but I am still fine."

"The eyes are too vulnerable and if the eyes are damaged too much due to accidents and magic and were not healed immediately, it will result in blindness. Yaya's case is unique. It might be bleeding but the tissues in her eyes are already patched up and cannot be repaired back to normal. It was like it got forced to attach to its tissues in the wrong directions. Healing her eyes is no longer possible."

"It got attached to wrong directions?" I frowned when I heard her term.

"Yeah. They were like they got stitched forcefully and was healed by magic after that. The reason it was still bleeding is that one of the nerves that got damaged was left out open and will constantly release blood. I already healed it but that's it. I can't repair her eye back to normal. She will be blind for the rest of her life unless she uses a transplant or uses the Elixir of Repair that only got concocted once every 100 years due to the scarcity of the ingredients," Otome explained.

Raigaki shook his head and stormed out of the room.

"Hey! Raigaki! Where are you going?!" Godou followed Raigaki. I recalled my familiars before going following the two of them. But before that, I made sure to bid farewell to Otome.

"I am sorry that we will be leaving you alone with these unconscious girls alongside with taking care of Yaya-san," I said before bowing,

"No worries Kazuma. Those guys are both troublesome so make sure to look out for them for mischief alright? An additional patient is another work for me, so please make sure to lessen the new patients? Hm?"

"I'll keep that in mind."

"I am going to beat up the bastard that did this injury to Yaya, I will not forgive him for this!"

"Bullshit man! That is a suicidal attempt! You already know that even his arrow-beam attacks are too much to handle and you are going to charge to attack that guy!? You are out of your mind already. Doing it solo will kill you!"

"If you want to stop me, then come with me and help me beat up that guy then."

"...Oh, alright. I am coming along," Godou grinned when Raigaki said it.

"Damn it, Godou. Stop being a warmonger will ya? That barely helps," I sighed.

"Whatever Kazuma, as long as there is a battle, I will be there, remember that."

As we are about to depart, the door opened and the school belle appeared alongside with the teddy bear that Yaya is holding, Kuma.

"Um...the teddy bear wanted to come along with you guys. It keeps on tugging my shirt earlier and keeps on pointing on the door."

Kuma? It is still moving without the master's control?!

"I see that you are surprised Kazuma. Kuma is not just a teddy bear. Kuma is actually Yaya's familiar. Even though Kuma is meant to be a normal teddy bear, it became one after one of Yaya's experiments was accidentally flawed causing for Kuma to be born. And if you are wondering if Kuma needs mana to fight, it's not actually necessary. Yaya just supplies Kuma some mana so that Kuma's attacks are stronger than usual that is why he can fight without restraint," Raigaki explained.

"But if Kuma is going to come with us, isn't that going to be bad? I mean, Kuma's strengthened body comes from the magic skills that Yaya supplies to Kuma. If Yaya is unconscious, Kuma will be ripped apart!" Godou said.

Kuma started moving and punching in the air which signifies that it is ready to fight to the death. It might be a teddy bear but it was clear that Kuma can think independently even without Yaya's control. I look at the school belle and frowned. Is she going to come with us?

"Are you coming with us?" I asked.

"A-ah? N-no. I am a normal person and fighting is out of the question. I am going to recuperate in the infirmary instead," she said before going back inside.

Well, looks like it is time for us to face another enemy. To think that I will be fighting again after waking up from a coma.
