I Was a Sword When I Reincarnated Chapter 454: Side: Ashwrath (II)

Chapter 454: Side: Ashwrath (II)

「There's nothing to regret! Divine Sword Release!」

With my words, the divine sword in my hand transformed its appearance into something vicious. The gate that had been holding back the tremendous power was opened.

「Gravity Prison!」

「Ghaaa!」

The magic resistance is so high that restraining magic is almost useless. So, it will be a slugfest.

「Oiiii! Youu!」

I was surprised. From the looks of it, she looks like she's completely out of control, but I didn't know she could speak in this state. However, what came out of the girl's mouth was a croaky, man-like voice.

Oh well. If it can buy time to get the others out of the way, I'll join her for a chat.

「What is it?」

「That's a divine sword, isn't it? It's not the fake one that that little black cat kid had! It's a real divine sword, right?」

「The kid from the Black Cat tribe? Is that Fran by any chance?」

「With that divine sword……we're……」

「Oi!」

「If we take in that divine sword……」

Just because she could talk didn't mean she was sane. Whenever the girl screamed, the broken sword in her hand began to emit a vicious magic. Apparently, the sword was controlling the girl?

「What are you?」

「I don't know! I wish I did! But I know! If we can get that divine sword, we'll be able to regain our original form! So, give me that divine sword!」

Her swords turned on me. But it's a good thing, too. This makes it easier to fight.

「It's time to get serious, huh?」

Almost all signs of people have disappeared from the area. It seems that there are still people inside the castle though…… It is true that I can fight more comfortably in the n.o.ble districts than in the commoner districts. It wouldn't hurt my heart even if I crush their house.

「Give me that sword!」

「Die, you b.a.s.t.a.r.d!」

I was in top gear from the start. It was probably the same for the other side. They unleashed a series of attacks that could turn even a large mansion into a ruin with a single blow. In just a few tens of seconds, the square was in a cruel state. The cobblestones were completely bald, and there were many large holes in the ground.

But even a fight like this is just a check and balance for us. From time to time, we would find an opening and hit him with an even bigger move, but it would not be enough.

Even though her arms were torn off, her legs crushed, and her bodies punctured, they instantly regenerated her wounds and slammed her weapons into me.

「How come I can't control you?」

「Ahh? You want to control me?」

Apparently, he was using some kind of ability on me that would allow her to control her enemies. But I don't think that's possible. I've always been under the influence of the Abominable Madness. Unless he had more control than that skill, he wouldn't be able to control my mind.

「Tsk!」

The girl shows a slight expression of impatience. At first glance, we seem to be evenly matched, but she knows she is at a disadvantage. She realizes that the stalemate will not last long.

「Oraaa!」

「Gugha!」

We are evenly matched in ability. But they have slightly better regeneration. I was the better tactician. And the difference in weapons was obvious. I had the divine sword. The other side was a broken magic sword.

I start to get the better of the fight. If they wanted to beat me, they should have flown through the air and cut me down from a distance. However, perhaps they were too determined to take my divine sword, so he challenged me to a close to mid-range battle.

No, they must have been confident in his sword skills. In fact, if it was a normal slas.h.i.+ng match, the other side was far superior. They had to slash me ten times before I could hit him once. And maybe he needed to cut me with his sword to control me.

However, the attack power of the weapons in her hand was too different. Gaia's attack, which was on a divine attribute by putting magic power into it, had gutted the girl's life force with a single blow.

Of course, I'm pretty much cornered myself. It's been a while since I've fought a rank A magic being like Lich.

「Gughaa!」

「You can't escape! Kiss of the Earth!」

In the next moment, the vast area was crushed at once. A super-gravity was being applied to a radius of about 200 meters. This was not earth magic, but Gaia's ability. The girl who was about to take off crashed and was plunged into the ground.

Before I knew it, the area around the castle had became a vacant lot and half of the castle had collapsed, but it was to protect the capital. I guess it can't be helped.

「Kiss of the Earth!」

「――」

Next to the surface point. The gravitational cage that stretched as if contracting towards the girl from all directions had captured her body perfectly. It's one of Gaia's special moves that crushes even the st.u.r.diest earth dragons……It's commendable that they're able to endure it, but there's no escaping her now unless they use teleport magic.

Just before she was about to stop the blow there.

「Divine Sword Release!」

「Tsk!」

With the girl's cry, the precept of gravity bursts forth from within. But still, a divine sword release? Was that magical sword a divine sword? No, the way it's broken, is it the same discarded divine sword as Master's?

Thanks to my relation with Alistair, I've heard a bit about the Divine Sword. There are six discarded divine swords that I know of.

The cherubim, meltdowns, and judgments that were ordered by G.o.d to be discarded have no chance of existing in this world. Even if they still have their outer bodies like masters, they would not have their original abilities.

So, is it more likely to be the Holy Order, Fanatics, or Eldorado, which were just destroyed by accident or in a battle between divine swords?

「G.o.d d.a.m.n it! It's over! Why isn't everything working! It's been 40 years! Forty years we've been preparing for this!」

「Like I’d know!」

「A pseudo fanatics sword made by cutting and melting our swords, and a lineage of dragon maidens who can handle our most powerful skill, "Divine Dragon Transformation"! Why did a guy like you appear at time like this! Don't joke with meee!」

She was cornered and lost her temper. The sword was ranting and raving in an unseemly manner. Yes, the sword was talking.

The sword, which had been transformed by the Divine Sword Release, retained the broken part of the blade, but the hand cover had been enlarged to resemble a gauntlet covering the elbow. Numerous human masks were drawn on the surface of the gauntlet, giving it a strange air.

Then there is a sculpture of a man who has become so huge that he is almost as big as a human head, and he is screaming like a real person. The way its mouth and eyes move are no different from a human's.

「Did you orchestrate this coup d’état?」

「Hyahahaha! That's right! We caused it with Ashtner! But it had already failed!」

「What is your goal?」

「The divine sword of Philias, Diabolos! We're going to seize the capital and the king with our abilities, unite all the armies, and invade Philias at once! And we were going to take the divine sword!」

「……To fix you?」

「That's right! If only we had a divine sword made with Oricalchos……Besides, Diabolos was made by Dionysus, just like us! It's supposed to be highly compatible with us!」

I finally understand. This is the end of the fanatic sword Fanatics. It was destroyed by the Holy Order and lost its original ability, but it must have escaped without disappearing.

They are only trying to fix themselves, so they created this mess. Well, I guess they doesn't care how many people die.

The surprise was that it has a will, but it was less shocking thanks to the fact that I had met with master.

「If only you weren't here……Even if I have to die here, you're the only one I'll kill here! Not only that! The people in this royal capital will go with you! You'll all die!」

Is this the effect of the divine sword release? His sword blade begins to crumble into sand as if it is weathering. The Fanatics will soon collapse from that. Well, he showed his power as a divine sword in an incomplete state, that can't be helped.

「I'm gonna destroy you, and then I'm gonna end all of this!」

「I'll kill you right here for interfering with me!」
