I Was a Sword When I Reincarnated (WN)

Chapter 620



I was able to absorb about 60 magic stones value. I had just barely achieved a rank-up.

I never thought I would be able to rank up in such a short time.

Because of Fenrir-san’s weakened state, my accumulation of magic stones value was very slow.

It must have been thanks to the magical stone weapon that had been set up to break the seal of the great magic beast. Even the current me was sure to get more than 500 magic stones value worth from that one.

The number of self-evolutions points I had accumulated so far was 60, which wasn’t much either, but it couldn’t be helped. If I believed what Announcer-san said, I should be back to normal after my next evolution.

『Fran! Sorry I kept you waiting!』

I erased my doppelganger and went back to Fran.

「Urushi, come!」

「Woof!」

『All right! Let’s clear them out! Fran, focus all your energy on getting out of here!』

「Okay」

This tentacle could be destroyed by magic. If that was the case, then if we could wipe out a large area in an instant, we would have a chance to escape from here.

I was about to activate Kanna Kamui, the most powerful magic I had―――But I was shocked.

『Wha! This is…!』

(Master?)

『I can’t stabilize my technique at all!』

I thought that something would disturb the activation of Space-time Magic, but I was wrong. It seemed that if I tried to use more than a certain amount of magic power, something would interfere with it.

Obviously, external interferences were distorting the Kanna Kamui that I had constructed. It wouldn’t activate because of it.

What should we do? Use dozens of weak spells that could be released rapidly? But that was not strong enough. I didn’t think that would work well against these countless tentacles.

As I pondered for a few moments, I could feel the magic emanating from Zelyse.

「AAAAAAH!」

『A barrier huh!?』

「Use it… quick!」

What Zelyse threw at us was a magic stone weapon that contained a huge amount of magic power. This barrier is amazing. Not only did it block tentacles, but it even prevented the mysterious interference. My technique then gets stabilized at once.

The only reason he didn’t use it himself was probably because there was no way for him to escape from the tentacles even if he could stop them from reaching him for a short amount of time.

Normally, it was a tool that would momentarily stop an opponent from performing a large-scale technique. But for me now, that brief moment was enough.

『Oooooh! Blow them up!』

I activated Kanna Kamui at once. I purposely lowered the convergence rate to increase the range.

「Tsk, Even me too――」

As a result, six Kanna Kamui were released in all directions, and the whole area was then swallowed by the white lightning.

『Now!』

「Nn!」

Fran, holding the smaller form of Urushi, used the last of her strength to run to the sky at once.

She used a telekinetic air ride with me. Amid the bursting thunderbolts and explosions, I forcefully pushed through while using a barrier and ascended at a great speed.

Looking down, the area where the temple used to be was covered with vapor, making it impossible to see properly. I could hear the buzzing of the steam as it became electrically charged.

Zelyse must have been involved in it, but what happened to him?

I said it might help, but I didn’t explicitly say it would. Rather, I released it intending to get him involved, but… I wonder if he managed to get away? Well, I don’t think that guy would die from that thing.

I don’t feel the need to keep promises to bad people, but I don’t have the luxury of looking for him and chasing after him right now. As a result, my words to let him go had been kept.

『Let’s leave this place!』

「Nn!」

「Woof!」

Urushi and I began to run at full speed.

A tremendous amount of magic power was starting to leak out from the place where we had just been. Even though we were already hundreds of meters away, me, Fran and Urushi were not feeling safe at all.

The hairs on both Fran and Urushi’s bodies were standing on end. Even Fran couldn’t help but break out in cold sweat.

I was under tremendous pressure that enveloped my entire body. No matter how much we moved away, it didn’t stop. In fact, I think it was getting stronger.

『I don’t think it’s hostile or malicious, but…』

「It’s frightening」

「Woof…」

「It was as if something wanted to devour us」

「Woof」

She was right. What we felt was hunger.

We felt a terrifying sense of hunger in this presence. Not only Fran and Urushi but even I was being recognized as food by it.

『Moreover, it’s mixed with evil…』

「Nn…」

「Woof…」

It seemed that there really were some pieces of Evil Gods inside the great magic beast. The evil mixed with its magic power leaking out into the surrounding area was quite strong. It was not even close to the evil in Zelos Reed and Murellia.

「We need to go to Weena Rhyn」

『Yeah, you’re right』

We decided to go to Weena Rhyn as Rhyn had told us.

I don’t even know why Rhyn broke the seal on the great magic beast. In the first place, did Rhyn really break the seal?

We need to speak to Weena Rhyn to get answers to those questions.

『As I suspected, the influence is rather small when we’re this far away』

「But I could still feel it a little」

「Woof」

I think we were already more than two kilometers away, but Fran and Urushi still seemed to sense something disturbing.

Just when we realized once again that the great magic beast was no ordinary being, Fran, who was looking back at it, gasped.

「!!」

At the same time, Fran’s surprise was conveyed to me.

「Master, that…」

『Seriously…! I see, that surely is a great magic beast!』

Beyond our line of sight, there was something huge that split the lake to reveal itself. At this distance, we couldn’t appraise it, nor could we perfectly estimate its strength.

But we could tell just by looking at it how huge it was. Even in its current state, it was probably more than 100 meters long.

The Midgardsormr was long and slender, giving the impression of being longer rather than wider. Besides, it was still underwater, so I didn’t have a full view of it.

(TLN: Midgardsormr, a colossal serpentine dragon)

Maybe that was why this one seemed even bigger to me. I don’t even know how big it would be when it was fully resurrected.

「Grooaaahhh!」

A grey creature was roaring wildly.

Its body was still in a terrifying-looking state of peristalsis and enlargement, and we could not get a full picture of it. The only thing I knew was that if we let it go unchecked, it would surely cause a lot of damage.
