I Was a Sword When I Reincarnated

Chapter 644

「Sword God Transformation!」

Immediately after Fran shouted so, Rhyn's super-acceleration was deactivated, and the surrounding scenery flowed out at once like before.

『Kuh』

I already knew this would happen, but the disorientation was terrible!

Immediately after we were out of the super acceleration state, the ugly body of the Great Magic Beast with countless mouths on the surface of its body appeared in the field of our vision.

Fran seemed to have made it through too.

We then instantly corrected the disorientation in our senses and delivered the best blow with everything we had in our hands, including the Sword God Transformation, Potential Release, and Evil Crusher.

Our attack was slightly off to the right of our aim, but that could not be helped.

「Haaa!」

『Rhaa!』

The tremendous torrent of power that rushed through my sword body was unleashed on the Great Magic Beast.

But before I could even feel myself slicing through the beast, I deactivated my Potential Release and other strengthening skills at the same time as the slash and teleported us a little further away.

After all, if I didn't do that, we wouldn't be able to teleport in time.

However, a slight feeling of having sliced through something remained. That told me that our attack was successful.

『How was that?』

「…Nn」

Just before we collided with the Great Magic Beast, we teleported to the sky and saw a terrible sight.

『It was a success, huh… Sierra too』

「Nn」

There were two huge wounds on the Great Magic Beast. The two cuts ran vertically parallel to each other.

I could feel that the presence I felt from the Great Magic Beast had dropped a few notches. It seemed that our attack had definitely inflicted significant damage to it.

One was caused by our slashes. And the other one was――.

「Sierra」

In the distance, we could see that Sierra was frozen in place with his magic sword, Zelos Reed, raised in the air.

Anyway, it seemed that the other wound was definitely caused by Sierra's slash.

『It looks like Sierra's attack was almost as powerful as our best attack…』

「Nn」

It was hard to believe. But I could tell it was his attack because the wounds were lined up like this. The width and depth of the wounds were almost the same in both wounds.

『But our attacks were made of the Divine Attribute, and the wound should heal more slowly!』

That was what I thought, however…

「Obeeeey meee…」

「Its regeneration didn't start at all」

『Not on the other wounds too, huh?』

It seemed that the Evil Spirit had invaded the wound and prevented it from regenerating.

I didn't expect him to be able to deliver an attack of almost equal power…

As I looked at Sierra with a confused look, I saw him collapse on the spot while his whole body was covered with a black Evil Spirit.

Sierra's condition was pretty dangerous, wasn't it? Zelos Reed then ran to him in panic and held him in his arms. He seemed to be unconscious.

Zelos Reed himself was in tatters from continuously receiving the rays of the Great Magic Beast, but Sierra's attack's backlash must have been even more severe.

Well, it didn't mean that I had the time to worry about others either.

「…Muh」

『Fran, are you okay?』

「…The backlash is just a little more severe…」

『I see… Actually, I felt the same too…』

「Nn…」

Without our Levitation skills, we would have fallen into the lake long ago. That was how bad the backlash was. Even with Life Magic and Divine Power Manipulation, we were in this kind of state.

The thought of not having those skills made me break out in a cold sweat.

「Master can't recover yet?」

『Yeah, I've used the Divine Attributes on top of Potential Release after all. My durability value hasn't recovered at all…』

I had less than 100 durability values left. I really would be a piece of junk for a while.

I think I'd spent about 5,000 magic stones worth to use the Potential Release this time. Well, I didn't regret it though, because it seemed to have helped us to connect with the other side.

「Woof!」

「Urushi」

Urushi ran up to us while dragging his paw limply.

Among us, Urushi was the one in the best condition with only a broken paw.

「I'll heal you now」

「Woof」

『Urushi, I'm counting on you for the time being』

Both Fran and I were extremely slow to recover from our injuries. In our current state, we couldn't even fight properly.

「Woof!」

「We're counting on you」

『For now, let's see how's Sierra and the others going』

「No, you need to get out of here right now…」

『Rhyn?』

Where was she? I could only hear her voice… I couldn't even tell where she was with my newly acquired Spirit Detection skill.

「I just can't maintain my form anymore. But somehow, I managed to deliver my voice to you…」

「Is it because of connecting this side to that side?」

「There are many other reasons too, but… It was the price I had to pay for seeing too far into the future… Rather than that, you guys need to get away from here…」

I didn't know what was going on, but I didn't feel comfortable letting the struggling Rhyn talk anymore.

Even in such a condition, the fact that she went to the trouble of telling us this indicated that we really needed to get away from here.

「Urushi」

「Woof!」

We decided to get away from here without even checking what was going on.

Note: My editor got involved in a car accident and was unable to do his part until next week, this chapter was the last one he had edited so you'll need to be patient until he recovers.
