Scooped Up by an S-Rank Adventurer!

My name is Lloyd.

I'm a white mage specialized in support magic.

When adventuring, I focus on assisting others in combat.

While escorting Claire to the capital,

our party was lured into the town of Schwerz and caught in the demons' trap.

Grist, one of the demon lord's Great Generals, awaited us for a fierce fight.

The one who stepped in to save us was Claire's childhood friend,

Therion the Ice Crystal Hero.

However, Grist proved too tough.

It's compressed mana!

Right!

Thank goodness.

They're alive.

But where are Claire and Therion?

Claire!

I'll be taking this woman back.

Claire!

Episode 11

Lloyd Flies!

Claire!

Claire!

Claire!

Silica!

Use Air Press!

Huh?

Okay!

Air Press!

Damn it!

Our opponent's in the air.

Calm down.

Stay out of my way!

What did you do to me?

Huh?

Just simple healing magic.

When did you...

What do we do, Lloyd?

I have a plan.

Huh?!

You think you can do something?

Get lost!

And what do you think you're doing?

What?!

That ice magic you're so proud of didn't work, did it?

You can lose sight of what's within your power when you lose control of yourself.

Lloyd's the one who orchestrated your rescue when you fell.

Have a little faith in him.

We need your power.

Just don't go dragging me down.

Yeah, I'll do my best not to.

I have to say, this is amazing.

We could attack anywhere on the continent so long as we could fly there.

This is my mobile laboratory.

Transporting troops is an exception.

You should have brought this out from the beginning.

We could have used it in our attack on Ishtar.

You can wish all you want,

but this is a prototype I was only recently able to get airborne.

It's a prototype?!

Is it safe?

We're not going to crash, are we?

No need to worry.

I've finally acquired the exceptionally strong power source

needed to move something so large.

What do you think this is?

A fragment of the demon lord.

What?!

The previous lord's body was blown apart in that final battle.

I managed to get my hands on this.

To my surprise, it still retains his mana.

After analyzing its wellspring of vitality,

I was able to devise a system that generates power from its infinite mana.

From the demon lord's wellspring of vitality?!

That's right.

I'm calling it our dead lord's lament.

Why, you!

What are you thinking?!

I just want to see something interesting.

Something interesting?

A monster with terrifying power!

The thought of controlling something like that thrills me.

And what could make things even better

than making some money while I'm at it?

What?!

What do we have here?!

Now this is interesting!

I can't believe you inverted gravity magic!

It's a weak spell with limited range.

Which is why we need the footholds!

It's not far now.

Keep it up!

Put a sock in it already!

Let's go!

Shit!

I can't believe Therion's working with other people...

Storage!

You're a persistent lot!

Give Claire back!

You damn bastard!

Shut it!

I'll send you packing!

All right! Here we go, white mage!

Yeah!

Hmph! That's it?

Try all you like, this ends the same way!

You flit around a lot!

Acid Fog!

You twerps never learn!

How about this?!

I've got something for ya too!

Futile!

Do they think they can shatter Grist's armor?

Therion...

Did you think this was enough to defeat me?

Tell me, hero. Did you think

you could kill me, one of the demon lord's Great Generals?

Never.

In that case...

die!

In that case...

die!

Have another!

Wha?!

What's this?!

What's going on?!

We necrotized your arm...

with frostbite, courtesy of my chilled air!

Frostbite?!

Impossible!

What...

What did you do to me?!

I cast a spell so you'd feel no pain.

I did it as Therion attacked so you wouldn't notice.

What...?

I'll admit that your mana armor is strong.

We couldn't scratch it even at our full strength.

However...

what about attacks you can't see?

What does he mean?

You can only defend against what you're able to perceive.

Isn't that right?
