Chapter 614 (2/2)

『Is that nasty device gonna resurrect the great magic beast?』

「Yes. It’s using the magic around it to devour the magic beast’s seal little by little」

「So if we destroy it, the magic beast won’t be resurrected?」

Rhyn shook her head sadly at Fran’s question.

「The seal on the magic beast has already loosened considerably. If we don’t perform the resealing ritual, the seal will break by itself in a few weeks」

「Then, should we do the ritual?」

「We need to prepare for the resealing ritual. If we hurry, we might make it in time」

「How do we perform that ritual?」

「I know Weena Rhyn knows about it, but I’m not sure if she’ll perform the ritual or not…?」

「What do you mean?」

「Ask her yourself」

Rhyn still didn’t want to speak about the most important thing as usual, did she?

「Then, let’s destroy that thing first for now」

「That’s impossible. Zelyse has reinforced it with multiple layers of protection. I tried it myself, but I couldn’t get a scratch on it. That’s gonna be impossible unless we have the power of a High Elf」

Rhyn herself was a high-ranking spirit, but that spirit can’t even get a scratch on it… That thing certainly was amazing.

But that would be the case for anyone else.

「Rhyn. Just answer me one question. Is it okay to destroy that thing?」

「If you could. But you probably can’t, so get out of here, out of this country, before you get caught in this」

「”If you could”. That’s fine with me. Master」

『Ou!』

「…I don’t know what will happen to you, you know?」

With Rhyn’s pitying words behind her, Fran slashed at the magic stone weapon.

「Brilliant Lightning Rush―――Heaven Judgement!」

While being clad in black lightning, she unleashed a slash at a godspeed.

Clank!

However, the result was a little different from what I had imagined. It felt dull as if she had struck a hard rock with a blunt sword.

「Huh?」

There was no change in the magic stone weapon in front of us. Fran tilted her head, but I knew the cause.

『We can’t even get a scratch on it, huh…』

My magic stone absorption is the ability to eat the magic stones that I cut. In other words, if it doesn’t get even a scratch, the ability won’t be activated.

「Muh…」

『We have no other choice… Let’s use the Sword God Transformation』

This was probably the situation where I had to push myself. But Fran shook her head, looking like she was about to cry.

「Noo!」

It seems that Fran has been a little worried about me ever since she heard that I was going to turn into a mere sword.

『But otherwise, it’s gonna be hard to scratch that thing, right?』

Even after she used Heaven Judgement before, it was still unscathed.

It’s certainly quite dangerous for me to use the Sword God Transformation now, but I must withstand it for just a moment. However, Fran didn’t give me a yes.

「I won’t let you」

『Then, what should we do?』

「I’ll take care of it」

Fran gave me a determined look and readied me again.

「I’ll definitely cut this thing. So, Master doesn’t have to push himself too hard」
