I Was a Sword When I Reincarnated (Web Novel)

『Let’s try the recovery inhibition skill, the Heal Disturb first』

「Nn!」

Fran nodded lightly in response to my words and called out to Urushi.

「Urushi!」

「Woof!」

『W-wa-wait! Could it be, are you going to do that thing again?』

What I mean by “that thing” was Fran and Urushi’s combination attack. We didn’t have a name for That yet, so I called it “That” for now.

「Nn. We have that Life Magic now. We’ll surely take it down now!」

『Well, I was still a bit reluctant to immediately combine it with That attack though』

We still didn’t know how well either of these techniques would work after all. She was way too scary for her own good!

「Nn…」

『Let’s try That after we’ve tried a few things first, okay?』

「Okay. And Master, it’s not “That”. I’ve thought of a name for it」

『Hou? What did you call That?』

That was unusual. Fran rarely cared about those kinds of things after all. Wasn’t this the first time she’d come up with something like that on her own?

「Nn. Sirius Sky Wolf――」

『Stoo-p! No! Not that!』

「Why?」

『Well, he certainly needs to accelerate from the sky though!』

Because that name was bad because of a lot of things!

「Then, Cutting fang of Sirius’――」

『No~pe! Not that too!』

Huh? Did I ever tell her about that manga before?

(TLN: Reference to Ginga Densetsu series manga. Trivia: Sirius, a star in the constellation of Canis Major also known as the Dog Star)

「Why?」

『A-anyway, we can’t just use that name for it. Someone already used it after all』

「Muh… We can’t use a name that is already being used by someone?」

『Of course, right?』

「I have three more names in mind」

『Hohou?』

That’s quite a lot. I’d love to hear all of it.

『What’s the first one?』

「Hyper Special Excellent Miracle Slash」

『Rejected!』

「?? That’s no good too?」

『Well… I was hoping for something unique if possible』

It reminded me that Fran was just a kid, that name was cute, but…

I don’t want Fran to be made fun of for the name of her technique in the future. I mean, using Hyper… Miracle… Aah~ what was it again?

《Hyper Special Excellent Miracle Slash》

『A-announcer-san! Just forget that!』

Anyway, that name was rejected!

「Okay, then, the second one」

『O-ou!』

「Super Urushi Attack」

『…I-I see…』

Wasn’t it better than before? Or was it just because the last one was so bad that it seemed better? This was bad, I wasn’t sure anymore.

『I-I’d like to hear the last one』

「Nn! The Wolf-Style Sword Drawing Technique」

『O-ooh! That’s a good one!』

I mean, I didn’t have any other choice! Well, I’d settle for the last one.

『Wolf-Style Sword Drawing Technique sounds good to me』

「Really? Super Urushi Attack is much cooler though」

「Woof!」

Fran, Urushi, stop looking at me with those sparkly eyes! It only made it hard for me to deny it!

『L-let’s just use Wolf-Style Sword Drawing Technique for that! Okay?』

Later, as a result of my desperate persuasion, the combined technique of Fran and Urushi was named the Wolf-Style Sword Drawing Technique.

『Well, just leave this to me now』

「Nn」

Fran took me in her other hand and prepared to shoot me out. We’d have to try it from a distance first instead of suddenly attacking with everything we got.

With that in mind, my telekinetic catapult would surely become quite useful. Normally, one would have to apply Heal Disturb to a weapon or something to make a direct attack. But Fran had me, so we could attack from a distance.

「Go!」

『Hiyaahaa!』

We then once again used the telekinetic catapult to attack it. But this time, on top of my Evil Crusher, I also used my newly acquired Life Magic. However, there seemed to be a miscalculation on my part.

『Hmm… I forgot that I was not a living thing…』

The techniques that accelerated recovery and strengthened one’s body wouldn’t work for me. I was just a sword after all…

It was a little disappointing because I thought that the Strong Body technique might reduce the backlash of using telekinetic catapults and the like.

『Well, the important thing is that the Heal Disturb is working fine, so whatever』

I also used my Magic Release and other methods to drastically increase my speed. Then, after pushing through the numerous tentacles, I once again stabbed into the body of the great magic beast.

Just like before, a large crater was then created because of it. The damage was not as great as I’d expected, but…

『I’m gonna tear you up even more!』

I activated my form transformation as I thrust myself into the center of the crater that had opened up in the Great Magic Beast’s body.

I did not transform myself into a steel thread this time. After all, no matter how weak its physical body was, it was not strong enough to pierce the great magic beast’s body.

I transformed into something a little thicker than that, I transformed my blade into something like a needle. My blade then branched out into nearly a hundred pieces and a dozen meters long needle, laying waste to the body of the great magic beast.

This still wouldn’t be much of a wound for the Great Magic Beast, but I’d have to shave off the Great Magic Beast’s power as much as I could.

『Well then… How’s the result?』

I returned to Fran with teleport and observed the Great Magic Beast from a distance.

The hole I made was visibly slow to regenerate. It was probably less than a hundredth of the regeneration speed of the other wounds.

『Alright! It’s working!』

「Nn! It doesn’t seem to regenerate at all!」

「Woof!」
