I Was a Sword When I Reincarnated (WN) Chapter 638

Chapter 629

「Okay, I’ll be going」

「Be careful!」

It showed how good of a person Rhyn was when she told us to be careful instead of telling us to do our best. Well, she was a spirit though.

But if Fran didn’t push herself to shave off the great magic beast’s power, Rhyn’s wishes would not come true. But it seemed that Rhyn was more worried about Fran’s safety.

But it was effective on someone like Fran though.

「Nn. I’ll do my best」

「Your opponent was a legendary, albeit imperfectly resurrected magic beast, you know? Don’t push yourself too hard」

「Nn」

The expression on Fran’s face as she nodded back at Rhyn was so full of motivation that it was hard to tell that she was not gonna be reckless.

『Fran, your safety comes first, you know?』

(I understand)

『But your expression wasn’t that of someone who understands though』

But still, she looked to be overly motivated over this. I wondered if there was something that caused her to be like this?

(This is the first time I ever fought with a piece of the Evil God)

『Yeah, certainly』

(It was an opponent that I might have to fight eventually to lift the curse of the Black Cat kin. It’s a good chance to know how strong they are)

Fran’s ultimate goal was to lift the curse placed on the entire Black Cat kin due to Divine Punishment.

To do so, the Black Cat kin must use their own power to defeat an evil person or an Evil God’s kindred with a threat level of S. That would also mean defeating the pieces of the Evil God.

To put it bluntly, I think it was an unattainable goal without having more Black Cat kin that were stronger than the Fran. It would take decades to achieve. No, it might even take more than that, maybe even several generations.

But that didn’t seem to be a reason for Fran to stop trying.

『They’re not gonna be identical, you know?』

(I know)

『We don’t even know if the other pieces of the Evil God are stronger or weaker…』

(But this gonna be a good chance to experience the power of an Evil God’s piece)

She just smiled it off with a determined look on her face.

『You’re right. Though this is a mixed being, I think this really is a good chance to experience its power first hand』

(Nn!)

「Oh right, take this…」

Rhyn produced some water and showered it on Fran. Immediately after, I could see that Fran’s strength was starting to recover. It was not a full recovery, but it should have made things easier for her.

「It was healing water. It was the least that I can do for you」

「Thanks」

「Don’t push yourself too hard until Sierra and the others join you, okay?」

「Nn. But if it has gotten this weak, you don’t mind if we somehow managed to defeat it, right?」

Oi oi! That was one of the lines I’ve always wanted to say!

But wasn’t that just gonna raise a death flag!?

(Master? What’s wrong?)

『N-no, nothing. I was just impressed by Fran’s motivation』

(Hmm?)

But if things were to get worse, I’ll have to force her to escape!

Then, Fran got on Urushi and took off toward the great magic beast.

「Woof woof!」

With Urushi at full speed, the distance of about a kilometer could be covered in a blink of an eye.

『Don’t get too close! We could already be in its range around here!』

「Woof!」

「Is it getting bigger?」

『Well, that’s obvious』

Compared to when we first saw it, the body of the great magic beast had swollen several times over. It was still in the resurrection process, but I wondered how big it really was.

I could see that the gray, purple, and red-black tentacles were intertwined like a gooey mess, and its huge lump of flesh was still continuing to swell.

『Fran, how are you feeling?』

「I’m fine」

That was what Fran said, but we had been through a lot of fierce fighting today. In addition, she even used the Sword God Transformation before, and she must be really exhausted.

I would really like for her to take a break, but there is no time for that.

『First, we’ll fight mainly with our magic. And Fran, don’t be reckless so focus on observing our opponent』

「…Okay」

Fran, who understood her condition, nodded reluctantly.

『Urushi, we’ll count on you on evasion』

「Woof!」

「!! It’s coming!」

『I knew it, it really could reach this far!?』

A jet-black magic bullet was released from the top of the wriggling, huge mass of flesh. The magic bullets that were launched up into the sky came straight towards Fran. And there are countless of them. It was just like a barrage already.

『Urushi!』

「Woof woof!」

The power contained in each magic bullet seemed to be tremendous. And we could see a column of water nearly ten meters high on the surface of the lake where the magic bullets landed.

But its aim was clumsy.

This had given Urushi plenty of leeway to evade the barrage.

『It’s my turn now! Let’s see how it handles this! Kanna Kamui!』

I fired one shot. But it wasn’t just a simple Kanna Kamui. What I released was a special technique designed for evil beings, with a convergence that increased its power and the power of the Evil Crusher.

It had the power to defeat the Minotaur General, a magic beast with a threat level of C that we had fought on the Plains of the Demon Wolf, with a single blow. The General was a defense-specialized type, and it managed to withstand a normal Kanna Kamui.

『Orra!』

The white lightning, clothed in the Divine Attribute, pierced through the countless tentacles and burst into the main body. Immediately after it landed, countless thunderbolts were discharged with a roar, and a blinding flash of lightning then covered the surroundings.

Although it wasn’t able to penetrate its body, it did leave a large crater on its massive fleshy body.

『Tsk, I even used the Evil Crusher, but it still could regenerate itself』

「Is it because not all of it is part of the Evil God’s piece?」

『Probably』

「…It doesn’t get wounded?」

『Yeah, but its magic power seems to have become weaker now』

It really didn’t do much to it.

「Should I join the attack too?」

『Not yet, I want to find out its weakness first. Don’t push yourself too hard, Fran, just make a simple attack on it』

「Nn. Okay」

『Urushi, can you get us a little closer? Now I want to use my telekinetic catapult to attack directly it』

「Woof!」

『Alright! Let’s go!』

I opened my eyes to find myself in another world. For some odd reason, I ended up as a sword. Before my eyes laid a plain full of magic beasts, and so, I launched my body and flew in search of a partner, a wielder (females only). Wait. Absorbing magic stones gets me skills? Oh hell yeah! This be fun! More, more, give me more! Gimme all your magic stones! Okay, yeah no, but I am accepting anything anyone’s willing to give. This tale is one that follows your everyday nerd, normal as could be, save for the fact that he happened to reincarnate as a sword.
