I Was a Sword When I Reincarnated

Chapter 413: Hamuls

Chapter 413: Hamuls

Shiing! Sclank!

A high-pitched metallic sound is heard in the underpass when our blades collide with each other.

There is a girl and a man who manipulate the swords and slashed each other. Fran and Hamuls.

Thanks to the reticence of the two of them, the only sound echoing in underpass was the high-pitched sound of me and my opponent's magic swords clashing each other.

We're overwhelmingly advantageous in this battle, but Hamuls sometimes manages to evade Fran's attack with strange movements. No, it seems, it is the magic swords that makes the strange movements.

?Sha!?

???

Gaiin!

(Note: there's a lot of sfx that i don't know how to translate it in English properly!!)

It's so now, Hamuls was completely caught in the illusion of Fran created by my illusion magic.

Hamuls thrusts out his magic swords to attack Fran's illusion. Moreover, because he used his sword skills, his body will be slow to react.

And at the moment he slashed the illusion, a deadly blow by Fran who went around behind him was released. Hamuls was completely lost sight of Fran. Moreover, his body is still stiff from activating sword skills before.

He is supposed to be a dead body now. Fran's sword technique was supposed to cut through Hamuls's body. However, Hamuls arm moves quickly, preventing me from being slammed into his back with his magic swords protruding over his shoulder. No matter how you look at it, Hamuls doesn't see Fran's slash. It was as if the sword had moved on its own in order to prevent our attack.

Does he have auto guard skills? But there is no such thing in Hamuls's skill, so it must be the ability of that magic sword.

???

Even so, Hamuls's expression doesn't even change

??Fire Javelin?

Still, his mouth moves smoothly only when chanting magic. It's creepy to see that only the mouth moved so quick.

???

And, without making a voice again, he slashed. Isn't he's completely unconscious? Is he being manipulated by someone?

Fran and Hamuls face each other quietly. Then, suddenly Hamuls jumped up, at the same time his magical power also increases.

??!?

Hamuls's muscles began to swell, making a creaking noise. Moreover, his status rises up sharply. It's abrupt, is it a sudden power-up development? His appearance looks like a human being becomes an evil person as we have seen in Barbra, but i don't feel any evil from him.

However, when facing Hamuls, I felt my disgust just become stronger. Heck, what happened to me…

I can see that the magical power is so dense that it be visualized around the magic sword. It deployed a blade formed by magical power. It's an image of Aura Blade, a sword technique that attacks with a magical blade, instead of its own blade huh.

?Haa!?

Fran attacked Hamuls, who was still convulsing. That behaviour that doesn't wait for his transformation to complete will be an advantage for us. However, the sword moves again. Hamuls is still standing on the same spot, but the sword moves automatically. There's no doubt that sword has an Auto Guard ability

However, Fran was calm. While keeping our distance she readied me on her hips.

If it can prevent our normal attack, we simply need to aim at a place where is it physically impossible to reach. Specifically, the diagonal line of his right hand holding the magic sword. The left ankle.

We deal a blow of god speed with sword drawing technique. The sword tried to respond to it, but it wasn’t long enough because it was broken, and can't guard it on time.

I was swung by Fran and cut Hamuls's leg off easily. Losing the support of his left foot, Hamuls falls to the ground. Well, this guy is just like before, with his white eye and still convulsing.

However, something amazing happens in front of us. The cross section of Hamuls's wound swelled, and it began to regenerate with at tremendous momentum. His ankle returns to normal in only two seconds.

In a hurry, I tried to appraise him again. Now he suddenly had Regeneration, Muscle Enlargement, and Martial arts were added to the skills of Hamuls.

It's not that strange to have more skills afterwards. When Fran evolved, her skills would increase, even the Evil Person had evil arts after their first change.

However, what is the reason of the sudden powers up and increased skills while still remaining as a human?

When I continued the appraisal with that in mind, I noticed a surprising fact. The state of Hamuls was him using Potential Release.

His life force continued to decrease while his status was greatly increasing. Certainly, it is the side effect of using potential release. Is this also the ability of that magic sword?

???

?Fuh! Shii! ?

Hamuls stood up from lying on the ground as if jumping with the power of his spine, and attacked Fran with an expressionless expression like deadpan face as usual.

With a terrible continuous attack. Hamuls, whose using potential release, seems to be aiming end this battle quickly. But continuous attacks tend to be in an unreasonable position. In other words, Hamuls now is full of gaps and opening from our point of view.

It is not so difficult for Fran, who has gained a lot of experience in one-on-one fighting, it's not difficult to make use of that opening. She launches an attack and slashes Hamuls.

Several fatal slashes caught Hamuls. However, the wound is immediately regenerated due to the abnormal regenerative power. It seems, due to using potential release, that mere regeneration skills have been raised to the same level of effectiveness as instant regeneration.

For such opponents, long distance magic attack is more effective, but it is also difficult to use in the town and in this underground passage. Fran could even be charged with a crime if she let it collapse.

?Next one will be more faster!?

???

Well, Fran seems to be enjoying the fight against this abnormal Hamuls, that's relieving.

Fran sped up even further and attacked Hamuls with 3D movements using walls, ceilings, and aerial jumps. Hamuls's whole body is scratched but it immediately closes. The magic sword doesn't only prevent attacks on vital points, in the meantime, it even strikes back.

It is an attack that take advantage of his abnormal regenerative power. Moreover, his attack method was abnormal.

???

?Kuh?

?Dorya!?

His arm, which was in a state of being bent at an impossible angle, continued to attack. I can hear a painful cracking sound. Is it possible to do such an unreasonable attack?

Hamuls's abnormal attack continues

Zobbu!

He thrust his sword into his belly. Blood started dripping and Hamuls vomited blood. Then, the magic sword that penetrated Hamuls's body approached Fran, who were slashing behind him.

?Muu!?

Fran was surprised, but thanks to Hamuls's warning in advance when he did something, she avoided it by a hairbreadth.

Even though he has the ability to regenerate, he's too bold. And is Hamuls rally come up with such a surprising tactic, who is clearly lost his reasoning?

Hamuls, with a hole in his chest started to closing, and advances his steps with a hollow expression that seems to not have emotion or intelligence at all.

???

As expected, something is strange here.
