I Was a Sword When I Reincarnated

Beyond our line of sight, there's a white smoke figure approaching us while wriggling in the sky. It was the Greater Venom Ghast.

In addition to the Wight King, Invisible Death was still alive.

We were surrounded by three magic beasts with a threat level of B.

One of the criteria to raise into a rank A, adventurers should have been to be able to defeat one magic beast with a threat level of B in solo. In other words, in front of us, there were three opponents that Amanda and Forrund would have to fight one-on-one with all their might in front of us.

『This is bad』

Shall we continue to fight? Invisible Death is still pretty banged up, but Ghast is troublesome too but it's not very aggressive. It's not impossible for us to fight them all though……

(Master, where's the magic stone of that smoke?)

『I can't detect it! How about you guys?』

(No good)

(Woof…)

Does that mean, its magic stone is hidden somewhere around, so it can still reach this far? Or does it hide its magic stone in its smoke so we can't detect it?

「Then, what about the magic stone of the undead?」

『I can't find it either!』

It is said that a magic beast with a threat level of B has the ability to hide the location of its magic stone. I couldn't even detect the magic stone of The Wight King and its underling. Well, this guy is a sorcerer type, and it's probably very good at hiding its magic power.

「Icicle Burst!」

「「「Icicle Burst!」」」

「Haaa!」

『They won't give us time to think huh!』

I quickly used fire magic to block it, but it seemed, they won't give us any time to think.

「Master! Above!」

『I see, okay』

「Nn!」

I did as Fran instructed and ascended at once with teleport. After that, I used the telekinetic air ride to gain even more altitude.

『How is it?』

「That smoke will follow us」

『But, the Wights won't be able to follow us though!』

「Dodging huge beast is easier」

Invisible Death's attacks seem to be the easiest to dodge at mid-range. The distance is just enough for us to detect its magic when it preparing an attack, and there is enough room for us to dodge it. If we are too close, we won't have enough room to move, however, if we are too far away, we won't be able to detect it.

And it seems, the wights' does not have the ability to fly and their magic can not reach this altitude. We must have already climbed more than 100 meters. But somehow, their attack can still reach us, but as expected, it's difficult to aim accurately at an opponent at this height.

We can't defeat the ghast, but we can ignore it for a little while. Besides, the wights and a ghast should be incompatible with each other. The undead wouldn't be able to maintain their existence if their magic is absorbed.

In fact, the Wight Kings are making a move to avoid the white smoke.

If that was the case, we might be able to deal with the Invisible Death while the ghast and the wights were restraining each other.

「Woof woof!」

『Urushi? What's wrong?』

While dodging their attacks, Urushi tries to tell us something.

「Gurruu!」

「Maybe, you've figured out where that huge beast's magic stone is?」

「Woof!」

『I see!』

It seems that he had not just simply dealt damage to Invisible Death when he invaded its body but had also identified the location of its magic stone.

「Master, let's only kill the big one here」

『……Understood』

I think it's better to start all over again, but if Fran is willing, I'll just go along with her.

「Don't use the Sword God Transformation」

『Wha?』

「Using the sword god transformation here would only be a temporary solution. We must win without using it. What should we do?」

In Fran's own way, she thought that she had to reduce the exhaustion in order to fight through another battle. However, she didn't know how to defeat the Invisible Death without using the Sword God Transformation.

『Understood. Then, how about――』

「I see――」

I explained the plan I had come up with to Fran. It was quite difficult, but Fran seemed to be on board with me.

『You think you can do it?』

「I'll do it!」

『Urushi, attack the location of its magic stone and tell us where it is. We'll attack there』

「Nn!」

「Woof!」

First, Urushi shoots a spear of dark magic while descending at full speed. This was not to deal damage to it, but to show Fran and me the location of its magic stone. I see, it's a little bit closer to the tail than the center huh. That's where the crystal is thickest.

「Grrrr!」

Urushi then ran straight towards the Wight King. This is a way to keep them in check and to attract their attention. The Wight King was successfully attracted to Urushi, who used a lot of shadow dive and evasive maneuvers.

「Let's go」

『Ou!』

And then, Fran and I start to act secretly.

『First, let's stop its movement!』

「Nn」

My earth magic made a hole under the Invisible Death's limbs, blocking its movement. That's pretty quick huh. In order for us to carry out our plan, we have to stop it from moving.

All of Invisible Death's limbs are firmly stuck into the ground, and I then tightened it up to make it unable to move for a moment.

「Bumooh?」

「HAAAAAAA!」

Fran's Kanna Kamui rained down into it. A thick pillar of lightning stripped away the crystal of Invisible Death. It was less powerful than my Kanna Kamui, but it succeeded in stripping the crystal as we planned.

Fran took charge of the skill so that I could focus on my next attack.

『Good one, Fran!』

I used a full throttle of telekinetic catapult combined with wind magic, flame magic, and even thunder magic to create magnetic manipulation.

I've been using magnetic force to accelerate objects for a long time. Even when we were trying to stop the Fanatics in the royal capital, we used it as a combination. But it wasn't that big of a deal compared to the acceleration with flame magic and wind magic.

But since I got a lot of hints from Invisible Death. I used the method of coiling magnetic manipulation around the long barrel that I made by telekinesis, imitating Invisible Death. I also succeeded in gaining more acceleration than ever before by doing this. Well, it's a bit more difficult to control, and the wear is doubled.

『Doryaaaa!』

Immediately after the launch, my sword blade pierced deeply into the shell of the Invisible Death, whose scales had been destroyed by Fran. However, I still couldn't penetrate it.

「Bumoohoooh!」

『Fraaan!』

「Nn!」

But I have expected this. Rather, this is the point of the plan.

Fran ran down from the sky at full speed to the Invisible Death, who was concentrating its magic power to release light magic to eliminate us.

Using all the magic she had to use Brilliant Lightning Rush, and taking advantage of her falling speed, she had become so fast that it was as if Fran herself had turned into lightning.

At the end of her trajectory, there's me. To be precise, it's me, whose handle has been transformed into a tray-like shapeshifting.

「HAAAAAAA!」

Fran, who was running down from the sky at super high speed, did not kill any of her momentum and slammed a kick into me as if she was going to land on my handle.

「Bumoooooooooh!」

I was already stuck into Invisible Death's body, but Fran's Super Inazu〇 Kick gave me an impact from directly above and pushed me further into its body.

「Bumoooh!」

「Guuh!」

The sound of Fran's leg bones cracking and the sound of the giant beast's shell cracking, also with the sound of my hilt and sword blade shattering combined to create a deafening dissonance.

That powerful kick reduced all of my endurance at once. But I didn't care about it and extended my blade further by transforming it. Then I could clearly feel its magic stone.

「Guh…!」

The impact was so great that Fran's leg was bent in the wrong direction. My endurance is also at a dangerous level.

『But, we did it!』

「Bu…mooh…」

An unprecedented sense of satisfaction. The amount of magic power flowing into me was at another level compared to what I've ever experienced in the past. It even surpassed the demon we had defeated long ago. Even though it was a magic beast with the same threat level of B, this one was probably superior huh.

It seems that Fran and Urushi's levels have also increased. However, there was no time to check it now.

I immediately stowed the corpse of Invisible Death and went straight back to Fran.

『Let's leave this place for now!』

「Nn…」

「Woof!」
