 Magic Sword Struggle

Fran continues to fight fiercely with Hamuls, but his luck is about to run out.

Fran, who had become accustomed to Hamul's bizarre movements, can completely seen his attack, while his vitality continued to diminish due to the potential release.

However, even though he has been cornered, Hamuls's still expressionless as before.

『As expected, that sword is strange』

(Nn)

Actually, while fighting, we tried several times to destroy Hamuls's magic sword. However, all of it have failed.

For example, when we aimed at the sword itself with fire attribute sword technique and vibration fangs, Hamuls became a shield as if to protect the sword.

Next, we tried to paralyze him with thunder magic so he will let go of the sword, but no matter what, he didn't let go of his sword.

There was a doubt i had all this time.

Is there a person who manipulates Hamuls who has lost his reasoning? If so, where are he and how are he manipulating him? Is he hiding somewhere and manipulating him with magic? Or is he has been put in something like a suggestion in advance?

Or is it that sword who manipulate him?

That's right, my doubt was that. Isn't that a sword similar to me? Whether it is an intelligence weapon or not, it seems that the sword is manipulating Hamuls. Moreover, as we have seen Hamuls move to protect the magic sword, it seems that it has some intelligence.

On the contrary, there seems to be emotions such as impatience and anger. This is also only my guess after seeing Hamuls's movement.

Immediately after he fired a slash with the magic sword, his attack intensified as if to take a distance to be vigilant or retaliate.

Although, an Intelligence weapon is a legendary existence, but that doesn't mean that I’m the only one.....

No, our battle is our priority now. Hamuls vitality will soon run out, with that said, there would be no more resistance.

Even if the magic sword itself has a will, if you look at our battle so far, you can see that it cannot act autonomously or not even able to move alone. It is already cornered this much. If it really can move, it's strange to not launch a surprise attack with only the sword.

「―」

It seems that it realizes that his limit is approaching, and go on its final offense as the magic power of the sword increased even further. The magical blade swelled like a large snake and attacked.

「Muh!」

Even if Fran avoided it, it seems it will stretch forever and chase her relentlessly. But this is an opportunity. It only focused on chasing Fran.

『Urushi! Do it!』

「Grrraa!」

「―」

It was a surprise attack by Urushi we had preserved so far. He jumps out of the shadow of Hamuls and reach out his hand holding the sword. His hand was bitten by Urushi and Hamuls let go of his sword.

The magic sword loses its support and falls to the ground, disturbing the attack of the magic blade. The ceiling of the underpass has been severely scooped out, but let’s pretend we never saw it.

「Master!」

『Oh!』

We won't miss this opportunity! Fran, approached him at once with my transfer and unleashes an air sword technique with all her strength.

「Haaaa!」

Gyaiiin!

The magic sword collided violently with me with an echoing high-pitched metallic sound.

「Gnuu!」

『This thing, is so hard!』

We were going to split it in half with this blow, I have put sufficient magical power and activated our skills.

However, Fran's attack, which was swung down from above, only managed to chipped some of the blade that had already broken and had been shortened. Well, it seems we can defeat him with straightforward manner!

Immediately after that, Fran tightened her expression at once and jumped out of the place.

『ｑ●ｓ／．，ｏｘ４ｑ◇ｎ７＠――！』

The presence of the magic sword suddenly increased, and something like an indescribable scream echoes in the underpass.

『Gaa! What now!』

「So noisy」

Moreover, it's not just a mere scream. It was as if the screams were being hit directly against our brain, like a telepathic skill. Fran holds her head and frowns.

The source was the magic sword. Is it felt hurt and angry? It looks similar like me....Its possibility as my kind has finally increased.

However, its resistance will be only up to this point. Hamuls's vitality, who has been abused, has finally reached its limit.

「―」

Doshaa

Hamuls collapses on the spot like a doll with a broken thread. As if the fierce battle until now was a lie.

「...Dead?」

『Yea』

There is no need to appraise him as his vitality can't be felt from his body anymore. His heart has also stopped beating. He loses his skills effect and his muscles shrink. 

I used dimensional storage to confirm whether he died or not, and i was able to get it done without any problems. After all, Hamuls is dead.

All that's left is his magic sword. I tried to appraising it again, I wonder if there will be any change after we managed to damage the blade. Then, the result of the appraisal looked different from the previous one. It seems that appraisal has become more effective because its ability has declined due to the damage.

『....I was only barely able to reveal its name huh』

Name: ｃ%ｓ：●ｈｊ／ｎ■Ｐ

However, the characters were garbled and i couldn't reveal its ability. If I can find out its true name, we can at least find the source of the magic sword.

Wait? Someone who couldn't be appraised in the past should not have been able to simply see it. The same is true for swords. Only the part that can be identified such as the name is displayed, and the impossible part simply cannot be seen. But i never heard of garbled characters.

I thought that the name was garbled as a result of this magic sword blocking the appraisal....but, isn't this its real name? No, did it mean that the original name was originally there, but as a result of its severe damage to the blade, the name has become strange?

「Master?」

『Oops, it's nothing』

Well, I don't care anymore. This thing is going to be destroyed here.

『Fran, I'm going to destroy this guy』

「Nn」

This time at full throttle, we paid no mind about our surroundings, Fran swings me while concentrating her mind. It was just after that.

『W-wha!』

「Muh」

Tremendous amount of light and magical power was emitted from the magic sword.
