Chapter 617 (1/2)

「…What happened to Sierra?」

「Oh, that kid? Well, if you’re that curious, why don’t make me tell you?」

「I’ll do that」

「You’re still acting tough even when you’re in tatters huh?」

As Zelyse said, we were still recovering. Fran and I were pretty exhausted after using the Divine Attribute twice a day.

It wasn’t so bad that she was breathing heavily, but she couldn’t hide her weariness. After all, using the Black Lightning God’s Claw was quite straining.

『Urushi!』

「Grrr!」

「Uwaah!」

Urushi, summoned by my Familiar Summon, attacked Zelyse.

「I thought I’d taken care of it!?」

「Shii!」

「Grrr!」

Zelyse let out a pathetic scream, but he was able to avoid Urushi’s surprise attack perfectly. I was sure he was wary of Urushi, who could unleash attacks with the Space-time Attribute. However, while he was paying attention to Urushi, Fran and I made a decent slash at him.

As I felt in our earlier fight, he was quite strong as a warrior.

「Well then, I wonder what would happen if I use this?」

「Muh」

『A magic stone sword?』

When I received the attack of the magic stone sword that Zelyse took out, that was all it took for that sword to be absorbed by me. However, Zelyse did not show any sign of regret. Rather, his smile deepened.

「Hahahah! Then what about this!」

『Another one!?』

Zelyse took out another magic stone sword again and attacked me in succession. Obviously, his attacks were aimed not at Fran, but me.

However, if I avoided it, Fran might lose her bearing and it would be dangerous for her. Therefore, I had no choice but to take it, and once again I met the magic stone sword head-on.

「That’s amazing! As I thought, it really was the ability of that sword! A magic sword that can absorb magic stones! Amazing! I really want to do some research on it!」

What a freak!

But suddenly Zelyse turned serious and tilted his head. Then he looked at Fran with a serious expression.

「Eh? Is that so? Hmmm」

「What?」

「Somehow ‘that me’ lost interest in you」

「Lose interest?」
