Chapter 631 (2/2)

『Ou!』

「Urushi, you too」

「Woof!」

『I see, so you want to use that, huh?』

「Nn!」

During her training on the Plains of the Demon Wolf, Fran had developed a special technique not only with me but also with Urushi.

The technique was so insane that even I couldn’t keep my mouth shut when I saw them practicing. Well, I didn’t have a mouth though!

I’d tried to stop them from practicing it many times already, but I stopped myself from doing so after seeing Fran and Urushi so happy despite being in tatters.

But thanks to that, they were able to perfect that special technique… They managed to perfect their coordination after several serious injuries that should have caused permanent damage to any normal person.

『I’ll leave the timing to you. I’ll concentrate on strengthening and defense』

「Okay」

「Woof!」

Fran and Urushi then begin to ascend to the sky at once. Our altitude must have exceeded a thousand meters already by now.

「Brilliant Lightning Rush―― Let’s do this, Urushi!」

「Woof!」

At Fran’s shout, Urushi began to ascend further. Fran stayed where she was and reinforced herself.

「Wooo―f!」

Immediately after, Urushi charged straight towards Fran. Using his skills, his speed now was much faster than his ascending speed. And as if he was trying to crush Fran with his huge body, Urushi rushed towards her without slowing down at all.

Then he aimed his paw at Fran and even activated his claw attack technique on it.

But Fran didn’t move her body to dodge him at all.

「Rrhaaaaa!」

「Whooof!」

And instead of evading the attack, Fran turned her back on Urushi.

As if to intercept Urushi’s paw, she put both her feet together and stuck them out behind her.

If the direction had been reversed, it might have looked like Fran was standing with her knees bent over Urushi’s paw pads.

But this time, Urushi was trying to swing down his paw from above, while Fran’s body was facing downward.

However, this was the way to do that technique.

In her usual Sheaths of Wind technique, she would use the momentum of the aerial jumps to gain initial speed, but this time, she used the momentum of Urushi’s attack to gain speed.

Using Urushi’s power, Fran was launched straight at the magic beast at once. It was as if she had used the telekinetic catapult.

And it was no coincidence. After all, they were really using my telekinetic catapult as a reference.

「Haaa!」

The full power of Urushi’s strengthened skills, which were enhanced by my strengthening on her, as well as her martial arts skills, was transformed into propulsive force, and Fran descended towards the great magic beast with the speed of that of a meteor.

With Urushi’s assistance, combined with Fran’s acceleration skills, it was now difficult for anyone to even follow her speed with their own eyes.

Black lightning fluttered in the wake of Fran’s descent.

The distance between us and the great magic beast, which used to be 1000 meters apart, was reduced in an instant.

「――Heaven Judgement!」

「Obeey――」

I couldn’t feel my blade slicing through its flesh. It was probably because her attack was too sharp and too fast. The resistance I felt from slicing it was no different than slicing through a body of water.

I, the one who was slashing through it, didn’t even recognize what had happened.

When I became aware of it, the body of a great demon beast had been ripped in half from the top.

『Teleport!』

Still, I knew what I had to do next. I activated the short-range teleport that I had prepared to get away from the beast.
