TENKEN 455 (1290 words)
Self-Destruct自爆
A swordsman who burns down his surroundings with flame
magic. And it wasn't just a simple flame magic. He had activated multiple
techniques to create large explosions at the same time without chanting.
More than ten shots of magic that could destroy several
houses with one shot went off at the same time, blowing the surrounding houses
to smithereens.
People who failed to escape were engulfed in flames and
screaming.
「That
guy....!」
Eliante jumped out of the way to stop the swordsman. At this
rate, she would sacrifice herself to stop the man in order to buy time to let
the civilians escape. Looking at Eliante's tragic face, I knew that she was
prepared to not win.
「Stop
it!」
「Ghaaa!」
「Guuoh!」
However, the swordsman now, for some reason, had gained a
more strength from the pseudo fanatic sword being in the divine sword release.
Even if Eliante had risked her life, it would have been difficult to even stall
for time.
The shockwave from the sword he had fired had flung her
nearly ten meters and she was groaning. The blade of the greatsword in her hand
is split in half, but I guess that's what saved her from being blown away.
In addition, flame magic was mercilessly applied to it.
Countless flaming bullets rained down on Eliante with no place to escape.
『Tsk!』
I jumped out of the way as quickly as I could and used
telekinesis to blast away the flame magic.
「Eh?
What....?」
Eliante is surprised to see a sword that moves on its own.
Well, I have no choice!
I used my doppelganger to get in front of Eliante and the
others. It would look suspicious, but I couldn't let them know I was an
Intelligence Weapon!
I pretend as if I've just been teleported and grabbed my
handle.
『I'm
not some suspicious guy. I'm an acquaintance of Fran's』
「Aren't
you the Curry Master!」
Apparently, Colbert remembered me, even though he had only
met me once before. Hearing Colbert's words, the suspicion faded from Eliante's
face.
『If
you didn't fight him properly, he'll kill you instantly! You know that right!』
「But,
even so...!」
『I'll
face him! Even if i look like this, I'm still Fran's master. I can at least buy
you some time! But you have to make sure Fran gets away! I beg you!』
「Ah,
wha――」
I saw the swordsman's eyes turn to look at me. There was no
time for more questions and answers. I didn't wait for Eliante and the others
to reply, and ran toward the swordsman.
I don't want Eliante and the others to hesitate because of
me――
As expected of an adventurer. She made a quick decision and
began to retreat.
『Well,
the problem is, will he stick with me until he kills himself?』
Red rays of light rained down on me. It must have been the
simultaneous activation of about twenty flare blasts that converge and shoot
out flames.
The stone building behind me melted into mush, filled with
holes, and finally exploded.
But I hadn't taken any damage. I had used the little magic
power I had recovered to activate the Dimension Shift.
Then, winds began to swirl around me, quickly growing into a
giant tornado. It must be storm magic. It gets thicker and bigger, engulfing
the surrounding debris.
I jumped up and exposed myself in the air by teleporting and
jumping in the air. If I don't, the damage to the town is going to be bad. From
his point of view, I was full of opening.
There was no expression on the swordsman's face, and I
couldn't tell if he was surprised that I was okay or not. However, I'm sure
that the point of the attack was directed at me. A spell was fired at me.
A huge pillar of fire, fused and amplified by the simultaneous
release of Inferno Burst, engulfed my figure. It was the same type of attack
that Announcer-san had unleashed against the Lich, yet it was several times
more powerful.
But even that vicious attack couldn't hit me who is using
the Dimension Shift. My magic power is decreasing, I knew that I could hold out
for a few more minutes.
『Shii!』
I'll also counterattack to draw his attention to me. I
unleashed a lower level thunderbolt spell. I don't think it will work, but it
was flashy and eye-catching.
Sure enough, the swordsman strikes back at me. This time,
red fireballs surrounded me, and then they all expanded and exploded at once.
With the simultaneous activation of the Flare Explode, a flower of flames
bloomed in the sky.
『It won't work on me!』
Booooom!
My counterattack was followed by more counterattacks.
I knew he was out of control and his ability to think has
declined. If he still had the ability to make good decisions, he would ignore
my lack of effective attacks and attack his surroundings.
His ability is on par with a rank A adventurer. But his head
was an idiot. He was an easy opponent for me to deal with.
『I'm
going to keep his eyes on me and let him keep wasting his time!』
Since I can use space-time magic, I've been able to do something
about it. But I wonder how much damage has been done elsewhere......
And about three minutes later.
When I started to worry about my remaining magic power, his
life force finally hit the bottom. It was a really long three minutes.
The reason for this was that his attack was more violent
than I had expected, and I had used a lot of magic to spend on dimension shift.
If he hadn't died ten seconds later, I would have tried to attack him.
And it was at that moment when the swordsman's life force
ran out.
Boooooooooooomm!
『Uwoooh!』
Suddenly, there was a huge explosion. A violent blast whips
the rubble of the houses far up into the sky.
I thought that he had unleashed some kind of flame magic,
but that was not the case. It was not a flame, but an explosion caused by a
large amount of magic power released.
It seemed that with the death of the swordsman, the magic
power of the pseudo fanatic sword that had been raging within him lost control
and overflowed all at once.
From above, I could see that a huge crater had been created.
More than forty houses had been destroyed, and the surrounding area was heavily
damaged. If the furniture that scattered due to the shock wave was counted, the
damage would reach hundreds of houses.
But shortly after I descended to the ground, a series of
explosions echoed through the royal capital. When I looked over there, I could
see the released magic power rising up like a pillar.
It seems that even outside of this place, controlled
swordsmen are falling down, leaving behind a huge explosion. The sound of
explosions continued to echo intermittently, and we could see more than fifty
pillars of magic power rising up. There are many explosions in the noble
districts, but there are also explosions in the residential and commercial
districts.
The area that is particularly intense is near the royal
castle. In particular, the magic explosions are concentrated in the vicinity
where the tremendous magic power is colliding with each other.
『It's
not like they're a suicide bombers. What the hell is their goal?』
Is their goal being to destroy the royal capital?
『I
hope Fran is safe!』

(2) Score for my overall translation quality: 4.48/5
(3) I've removed some widget on the sidebar, and changed it into a menu cuz someone said he wanted an ToC on front page. I don't know what menu to add tho, so i added "about" but i haven't created that page. And no one is actually using my translate widget lol.
(4) About it's readibility, If you find it's hard to read the text, I recommend you to use your browser's reading mode. Since I make my post format like this, it's favoured by browser's algorthm to be detected as long article. You can find it's icon on your browser's address bar right corner (chromium browser/pc) or more function, or by pressing F9.
(5) About my overall tl, Sorry if it often had some errors, Cause i only reviewed it when it's already posted, and I often depend on someone who can actually spot my mistakes, cuz i'm quite lacking in english grammar. And about my tling speed, it's not that fast. Well, it's cuz of i'm jobless and have so much free time, so i wanted to try out something new. bakapervert was my idol as a translator, he used to translate a whole 15-20k words in 2-3 days! (if you're wondering what series is that, it's tensei soudouki)
(6) About my thought on picking up another title to translate, i got 70% response that wanted me to focus on tenken only. Well, there's still 386 raw chapters to translate, with my tl pace, expect me to catch up in 7-9 more months. Well, if i can still continues to tl it until then tho.
just ignore centinni imo. their "translations" are garbage.
