I Was a Sword When I Reincarnated

Immediately after striking the Great Magic Beast with that slash, we teleported a little farther away from the Great Magic Beast.

「Ugh...」

『Fran! Use your regeneration skill!』

Fran had not been directly attacked by the Great Magic Beast. However, her body was full of wounds.

「Khoff...」

She spat out blood mixed with the contents of her stomach. The degree of damage to her body from using that technique was frightening.

But of course, she would be like this.

She had been hit by Urushi’s serious attack after all. Even though I had protected her with barriers on her legs and other parts of her body, and used magic and regeneration to reduce the damage, the impact must have been tremendous.

What was more, this time Fran also had accelerated herself with all her might.

The burden from using those techniques on her body must be enormous. Her internal organs, muscles, and bones were in tatters from not being able to withstand the acceleration. Her legs in particular were in a bad shape. It was swollen from internal bleeding, broken bones, and torn muscles.

The most badly injured part of her body was her right arm, where her bone was visible through her broken elbow. Also, both of her eyes were dyed in red from broken capillaries and were bleeding incessantly.

I was amazed that she was still able to unleash the Heaven Judgement in such a state, and I was also amazed that she was still conscious after having taken the additional burden from using the Heaven Judgement.

「I was still in the midst of a fight after all... That’s why...」

We were still in the midst of a fight, and that was why she tried her best not to lose her consciousness. I could understand that, but whether she could still fight or not was another matter.

What fearsome mental strength. I truly admired her from the bottom of my heart.

If I were in Fran’s position. I’d be crying out in pain and agony right now. But in the first place, I would never come up with a technique like that...

『Good job, Fran! But I’ve told you not to be reckless though』

「But if I didn’t do that much, my attacks wouldn’t have inflicted much damage to it」

『Well, you’re right...』

「However...」

『However?』

「I still couldn’t defeat it」

She was really planning to defeat it on her own!?

However, as Fran muttered in frustration, we had not been able to defeat the Great Magic Beast.

From its mouth at the top, about half of its body was cut in half, revealing the inner parts of its body. However, near the bottom of its body, tentacles began growing out of the cut section and had begun to intertwine to rejoin the cut section.

It didn’t seem to have any internal organs, just a small throat-like cavity under its mouth with a lump of meat at the end. I couldn’t find its magic stones either

『Even after that, it seems that its life force hasn’t decreased much』

「The Black Lightning God’s Claw... I failed to activate it...」

『Well, it can’t be helped in that situation』

In fact, I was surprised that that attack wasn’t the only attack she planned to use. If Fran were able to add the Divine Attribute of the Black Lightning God’s Claw on that attack, we might have really defeated the Great Magic Beast.

However, she failed to activate it in that instant and was still in extreme pain. It was inevitable that she failed to do so.

『But it seems that it lost quite a lot of magic power after that attack, you did rather well』

「Nn...」

『Besides, we’re not done yet!』

When I attacked the inside of its mouth, the damage was obviously much worse. After all, a direct attack on the inside would be more effective.

『How about this...!』

Our thunderbolt magic didn’t work very well against the Great Magic Beast. So, I decided to follow it up with another kind of magic.

I scattered more than a dozen of Flare Explosions and Light Explosions on the cut surface of the magic beast’s wound, which had not been fully closed yet.

Red and white flashes of light and explosions then began to rumble.

「Ooobeey meee!」

『It didn’t do much damage to it either, huh?』

It was not that the Great Magic Beast was particularly resistant to Thunderbolt Magic, but it seemed that magic itself didn’t do much damage to it. It may have a magic resistance skill.

Due to the pieces of the Evil God in its body, my appraisal does not work on it and its abilities were displayed as unknown. What we do know so far was that it had unusually high regenerative power, was quite resistant to magic, and could control others.

One of its weaknesses was that its physical strength itself was not that high. I couldn’t call that a weakness because of its regenerative ability though.

「Woof woof!」

「Urushi」

Urushi came back to us. However, he also seemed to be in pain. The backlash on both Fran and Urushi was tremendous. Naturally, Fran wasn’t the only one who was injured.

It may have already been healed by his regeneration, but splatters of blood were still clinging to his face and shoulders.

His right foreleg, which was used to launch Fran, must have been unable to withstand the impact of launching her. It seemed that his leg was torn from the inside by the impact.

「Are you okay?」

「Woof!」

Fran asked while she patted Urushi’s nose.

Then, I sensed a presence approaching us. But it was not an enemy.

「T-that is some serious damage... Were you really the one who did that...?」

「Oi oi, that was quite a flashy move」

Two people approached us. They were not enemies, but I honestly didn’t want them to get any closer.

「We’ll help you out from here」

「...Just order us to do anything」

The ones who came to us were Sierra and Zelos Reed who were clad in Evil Spirit that was far beyond even that of Murellia.
