I Was a Sword When I Reincarnated

Chapter 345.1 - Rematch (I)

Chapter 345.1 - Rematch (I)

After the explanation, Asura stood up from the chair he created.

“Now, are we done here? Well, if so, you should go home now.”

“Ha?! What are you saying?!”

“I’m fine being on my own in this place. Kiara, take them home.”

Mea screams in surprise, but Kiara just shakes her head.

“Asura, It’s about time, isn’t it?”

“Yeah. Probably. So if you don’t want me to kill you, you need to get out of here.”

Does that mean that Asura’s transformation into a mad demon is about to take effect? If so, it was certainly dangerous. He was already strong enough in his current state, but this change was definitely going to be a few more steps stronger and things will most likely spin out of control too. It’s no wonder that Kiara nodded honestly.

“Mea, let’s go.”

“……… I understand.”

“Fran too, let’s go.”

“………mhm”

Both Mea and Fran nodded reluctantly. Mea’s sense of obligation towards her mission was so strong that she was not happy with the idea of leaving everything to Asura alone. The fact that she couldn’t do anything at this point also seemed to be a source of irritation to her. She seemed to be frustrated that she wasn’t recognized as the Lord of the Divine Sword earlier as well.

It’s a shame that Fran didn’t get a chance to witness how strong Asura is. But right now, it’s not exactly an option. At any rate, it would be bad if we got caught up in Asura’s outburst later.

“Come on, Fran. Let’s go.”

“Mhm”

Kiara, in a somewhat impatient voice, also gave instructions to Quina and the others.

“We have to hurry. Quina, open the door.”

“Yes, my lord. Meanoa you will take care of the Lord.”

“Yes, sir.”

With Quina in the lead, we hurried to the entrance. I supposed the reason they made Meanoa last was to see to it that Mea didn’t stupidly plant an imitation of herself. Well, I don’t think it’s possible, but if it is, I would have went back to Asura by myself.

“Wha…?”

“What’s the matter Quina?”

“It won’t open…”

“What?”

“When we entered this room earlier, I made sure it could be opened and closed.”

I wondered if it was made so it couldn’t be opened from the inside, but apparently Quina, unlike us, was already making sure it could be opened and closed securely before.

Isn’t this bad? I tried using Dimension Gate. It didn’t really matter even if we can’t get out of the dungeon at the moment, as long as we all could escape this room as soon as possible.

“?That, what do you mean?”

But the magic didn’t even kick in. When I tried to activate space-time magic, my magic power did not materialize as expected.

(Master?)

“Metastasis is blocked.”

I knew this feeling all too well. The teleportation-disrupting barrier Myrelia had put up. That was the moment I came to that realization.

“Hahaha! That door is closed, you can’t leave now, you know? I’ve set up a barrier so teleportation is useless you know, it’s futile!”

“That voice!”

“Myrelia?”

A voice suddenly echoed in the room, and the younger group consisting of Mea and Fran braced themselves for it.

“That’s right!”

Myrellia teleported to the opposing side from us, with Asura standing in between both parties. As it was a barrier put up by the power of the evil gods, only Myrellia, who had obtained their blessings, would be able to use teleportation.

She’s still smiling and laughing, it’s obvious that she was truly enjoying this. However, the evil spirit emanating from her body seemed to have weakened slightly. Was it the aftereffects of breaking evil manifestation? Well, regardless, she was still strong enough to not be underestimated, though.

“I didn’t expect a divine sword user to come along. I also didn’t realize the labyrinth we built to slow them down could be breached so quickly.”

“You are…, the dungeon master?”

“You’re wrong. But well, in a way I am related to the dungeon.”

“I see……”

It looks like he was able to sense the evil spirit emitted by Myrellia and discerned at a glance that she was an enemy. Asura pulled out his divine sword, Gaia, and braced himself. However, that gaze was not only directed at Myrellia, but also at us. Asura opened his mouth with a serious expression.

“……Kiara”

“I understand”

“Look, you…,you just protect the kids. And when the time comes, don’t hesitate, okay?”

“Yes.”

What should we do? As long as we can’t escape this place, aren’t we going to have to be stuck running around and getting out of Asura’s way?

Or do we want to take care of Myrellia as fast as we can before Asura goes out of control? That might be possible with this group. If Asura was going to run amok in this space anyway, it would be the end of our adventure. If that’s the case, I feel that it’s better to end the fight as fast as possible and part ways with Asura.

Asura seems to think so too.

“We’re gonna crush that bitch as fast as we can. Let’s get on with it.”

“I understand. We all must follow Asura’s command.”

“Of course!”

“Yes!”

Mea is somewhat happy about that. Quina and Meanoa nodded silently. Fran was ready to fight too.

“Fran’s sword in particular has the power to break the cycle of evil and reveal the truth. It is effective against the evil one.”

“Oh? Well, that’s encouraging.”

I’ve decided to reveal that I’m equipped with the skill ‘Breaking Evil Manifestation’. After all, it’s a trump card against Myrellia.

“Black cat lady, don’t get carried away and get caught up in my attacks, okay?”

“Mhm!”

“Well, it looks okay. How do you get to be that strong at your age anyway? I’ve heard that the black cat tribe is weak, but Miss and Kiara, you guys are just awesome.”

Well, both Fran and Kiara are a special case. They were probably the number one and two in the black cat tribe at the moment. While we were talking about this, Myrellia didn’t attack us. For some reason, she stood there with a wry smile on her face.

“Are you guys done talking, I wonder?”

“With all these people, you still dare to act so relaxed?”

“That’s not true you know~ to a certain degree that is. Anyway I want to ask you one more question, it’s fine right?”

“Haa??! What is it??!”

“You seem to be already on the edge of transforming, though? Are you sure you can fight in that kind of condition?”
