Immediately after Fran swung me, a tremendous amount of light and magical power was emitted from the magic sword. It released magical power from its whole body. It's not just a blinding light, it's an omnidirectional attack with considerable offensive power.
『Cheh!』
Although it was prevented by my barrier, the entire underpass were shaking. The release of magical power soon subsided, but the figure of the magic sword was no longer there.
Not only it attacked us with the release of magical power, but it also makes use of that moment to move.
「It flied?」
『I won't let it get away』
The magic sword flies toward the entrance of the underpass at a tremendous speed. Its speed is comparable to my full-powered catapult.
Using transfer is―a no. At that speed, we wouldn't be on time right after we transferred.
I think it's bad to destroy this underpass by trying to unleash magic of great firepower. In the end, we shot Fire Javelin in a row. More than 20 flame spears reach out the magic sword.
However, the magic sword avoided everything with a sharp movement While flying at high speed, it twists its body and creates a rotating trajectory like a barrel roll.
And the magic sword that avoided all of our attack run out without killing its momentum.
『We'll chase it!』
「Nn」
When we followed it in a hurry, the sight of pandemonium and scream was spreading outside.
「Uwaaa!」
「I-it hurts, it hurts!」
「He-help me…」
「Bl-blood is…!」
Near the entrance of the underpass, more than 10 people were bleeding and collapsed, some of them have broken arms and are dying.
Not only that, we can even hear screams from far away.
『Tha-that bastard…It attacked anything in its way!』
「…heal them!」
『Aa! Urushi chases that magic sword!』
(woof!)
We abandoned the chase and healed those victims with recovery magic. It seems this is the aim of that magic sword.
It's definitely has intelligent. Otherwise it wouldn't come up with such a nasty way to stop is. It means that sword was really a kind of me.
「I hate that sword」
『Me too』
「Will absolutely beat it」
『The next time we meet, we'll settle this』
「Nn! won't let go next time!」
『Ou!』
Even so, the movement of that magic sword at that time of escaping was like my catapult.
However, the principle is completely different. Apparently, that magic sword blew out compressed magical power to gain propulsion.
As the name suggests, my psychic catapult first explode kinetic energy and shoots my self, then steers with psychic. While that magic swords way of flying is like a rocket that constantly spouts magical power. It was a method that could be called an engine system.
Perhaps this is the cause of Hamuls abnormal movement that ignored Hamul's physical limits during battle.
Previously, the insect-type demon beast, Disaster Ballbug we fought in Ullmut dungeon, used his magical power release skill to rapidly accelerate and change direction, it seemed to be the same principle.
Anyway, it must take tremendous amount of magical power to produce that speed. At least, it should have been impossible to continue using it for a long time.
In addition, even if it has acceleration force, it will not be able to make small turns. Aside from attacking a non-moving opponent, it's pretty hard to hit someone who moves around at high speed like Fran. If dodged, bot Hamuls and the magic sword will be defenceless during that time. That seems to be its weak point.
After the rescue of the citizen was over, we went back to the underpass for the time being. Then Fran shouted in a small voice.
「Aa」
『What happened?』
「The unpleasant atmosphere disappeared」
『Did you mean the unpleasant feeling when we entered the underpass?』
「Nn」
As expected, it must have been related to that magic sword. But i have no idea, is it related to the disgust I had for that magic sword? It seems that Fran and Urushi didn't feel the same feelings as i did for the magic sword and Hamuls.
『I don't know』
「Nn」
For the time being, what should we do with Hamuls's body? Should we hand it over to the guard station? I don't think he'll be treated as a murdered, but he's likely to be detained.
When I was wondering what to do after this, I felt someone's presence entering the underpass. Moreover, many people come from both entrances. It seems that ordinary citizen has come down to the underpass.
But, when I thought about it, it was unnatural for no one came in when we fought fiercely.
Besides, it's unlikely that no one coming into this underpass in this entertainment district for that much time.
Did the underpass have any abilities to prevent people from entering in the first place? So, it's a type of barrier that only affect peoples. With that in mind, it's understandable for me to not felt the strange unpleasant feeling as I’m not a living thing.
When I was thinking on the spot, I felt a presence that I knew come down to the underpass from the opposite side of that magic sword's escape.
「Fran, are you all right?」
「Black Lightning Princess, are you safe?」
「Velmeria. Frederick」
It was the two who we had just parted earlier.
