I Was a Sword When I Reincarnated (Web Novel)

Side Nemea

It was abrupt.

Fran said she could block Lord Asura’s mad demonization skills. I don’t know if that will work, but Master Kiara said to give it a try.

And as Fran held her sword and started concentrating, Asura gradually slowed down and eventually stopped moving. They’ve really succeeded in calming the demonization!

“We did it!”

The worst that could happen has been avoided, although there was still the creepy evil villain, Xellos Reed. I thought as such and tried to run towards Fran, when all of a sudden…

“…”

“Fran, what’s….”

“Master?”

“Gaaaaahhhh!!”

Suddenly, a shrill scream resounded throughout the dungeon. Wait, actually, it’s as if the sound was directly transmitted into my brain. No, it probably was as such.

“Was that the master…?”

The moment I muttered that, the magic sword in Fran’s hand suddenly left her hand and took flight. The sword vibrated violently in the air. I could hear the scream emanating from it. It sounded as if it were the roars of a raging beast, but at the same time also sounded like a painful scream, one filled with anguish.

“Graaaaahhhh!”

A lightning bolt emanates from the sword and strikes at Xellos Reed. Although it was easily dodged, the sword moved on its own and rushed at Xellos Reed.

I looked at Fran, who was just standing there, looking stunned. After a moment, she ran after her divine sword, her face turning blue.

“Master!”

“It’s not taking action under Fran’s orders? Is your master running amok?”

“Hey Mea! Do you know anything about this?”

Seeing the situation with the sword suddenly moving by itself, Master Kiara also started feeling anxious. She took a look at Fran’s condition and understood that what was currently happening wasn’t as Fran intended.

“Um, well, the master…”

“Huh? What about me?”

“No, no! Not Master Kiara, but Fran’s Master!!”

“What are you talking about?!”

No! I’m not allowed to give out information that it’s an intelligent weapon. This is information that Fran trusted me with to keep after all. If I exposed her secret, isn’t it the same as me betraying her?

Just as I was overwhelmed by my dilemma, Quina interrupted from the side.

“Miss, please calm down. I’m sorry, the young lady seems to be getting confused.”

“I see. What does Quina know about it?”

“I don’t know the details, but as for the one she referred to as master, I think it’s actually Fran’s sword. I heard it’s named “Master”. Fran-san’s sword seems to be out of control for some reason. That sword is a fairly high-ranked magic sword. Perhaps, one of the abilities of that sword is Skill Taker? And maybe, we are currently seeing the effects of taking away Lord Asura’s skills as mentioned earlier?”

“I see. And you think it was affected by the madness of the demonization and went out of control?”

“I can only assume as much.”

Good, Quina explained it well. Nonetheless, as we talked about it, the master continued to run amok, its screams endlessly resounding.

“Gaaahhh!”

Once again, a tremendous lightning bolt descended towards Xellos Reed. More accurately, it was a tight pack of three lightning bolts. Cold sweat ran down my back as I watched each of those lightning bolts drill a large crater into the dungeon.

That was extreme grade magic no matter how you look at it. Moreover, it shot three rounds of that kind of magic at once? Do all intelligent weapons have that kind of power?

“That sword! Isn’t the red aura emanating from it looks like the one from the Divine Swordmaster from earlier, what the hell is going on?”

Xellos Reed repeatedly regenerated while being burned by the lightning, but I could see the confusion on his face. I guess he couldn’t keep up with the fact that the sword was the only thing that attacked him on its own.

“Master! Master!”

Fran squinted at the blast and called out frantically, but her voice didn’t seem to reach her master at all.

The Master continued to ignore Fran and suddenly jumped out at a terrifying speed. Apparently, the sudden acceleration from staying still was enough to catch Xellos Reed unawares and land a surprise attack. Before he had time to evade it, the sword blasted away half of his body.

“Guuh! What…! Is this!”

Moreover, it caused critical damage. Yes, that sword also had the ability to counter evil spirit energy and manifestations. Master’s chase continued against the anguished Xellos Reed.

“Latent Potential Release…. oooooo!”

Immediately after the master’s cry, a tremendous amount of magical power overflowed from him. The air surrounding him also vibrated by the magical power released, hitting my skin.

How much power did that sword have in it? Honestly, I felt that the intimidating feeling emanating from the current master was not inferior to the divine sword Gaia! To my regret, even if I swing Rind, I will not be able to exert all that power.

“Oh ohhhh!”

Lightning bolts were released again. What a surprise! It wasn’t just raining down from above, bolt after bolt was shot out from both sides. Three thunderbolts, clearly thicker than the previous extremely large magic shot out just now, came from above, with two more from either side. The attack surrounded Xellos Reed.

“How many times can you unleash these attacks?”

Xellos Reed took the thunderbolts head on. With his jet-black sword in his hand, he cut, blocked, and scattered the lightning bolts. If it were me, I don’t know how many times I would have been charred black.

What was wrong with this fight? It’s more intense and crazy than the previous Battle between Xellos Reed and Asura. The sound of discharging lightning bolts canceled out by Xellos Reed could be heard in the distance. However, Master’s berserking continued, leaving various thoughts in my heart.

All of a sudden, the raging sword suddenly came apart.
