Chapter 640 (1/2)

「Wooo―f!」

「Haaaaa―!」

Almost at the same time Fran was launched by Urushi’s paw. I channeled all of my magic power into my sword body while leaving the bare minimum amount of magic power for our escape later.

I also used my Telekinesis and Magic Release to help Fran accelerate further while transforming my sword body into the shape of a katana. I also supported her with my newly learned Life Magic.

And thanks to our Potential Release, I could smoothly activate all of them at the same time.

The price of using it was high though…

『Guh…!』

My durability value has already been reduced by half.

(Master?)

『I’m fine! Just focus on your attack!』

(Nn!)

The world seems to be running in slow motion because of my Thought Acceleration, but Fran’s rushing speed was incredibly fast. The surrounding scenery even flowed by us as if we’re in a warp.

Fran then poised me above her head.

I will then activate the Sword God――

《Space-time fluctuation detected》

Said Announcer-san just before I used the technique.

『Huh――?』

(!)

Has time stopped?

No, that doesn’t seem to be the case. It was only our perception that experienced a significant acceleration. Because of this, there was a delay that made our surroundings seem to stop.

But, why?

I was using space-time magic to help us accelerate to the very edge of our limit. But there was no way we’d suddenly accelerate even further without me noticing just because we’re in a Potential Release state.

And it wasn’t just a slight acceleration, but we got accelerated several hundred times faster.

(My body, won’t move)

『Me too』

I searched for signs of our surroundings, trying to figure out what was going on. But I couldn’t fully process the flood of information that was pouring in, and I was feeling something similar to a vertigo attack.

『Kuh…』

(What’s wrong?)

『F-Fran, are you okay?』

(?)

I thought Fran was in an even worse state than me, but… Fran’s telepathy tells me that she was just in shock.

Was she okay? It wouldn’t be surprising that her brain was under a tremendous burden due to the multiple activations of magic.

「This was because I helped you」

『Rhyn! You’re the one who did this!?』

「Yeah, it was me, and Sword-san too――」

When Rhyn told me so, my vision suddenly went white. But at the same time, the torrent of information subsided. I see. I guess the reason why Fran was so calm was because she was in this state.

(Master, over there)

『Yeah, I see it… But isn’t that, Fran?』

(Master is there too)
