I Was a Sword When I Reincarnated

Chapter 457: Battle Between the Transcenders

Chapter 457: Battle Between the Transcenders

The ridiculously large magic power in the town is already gone. The pseudo fanatic swords must have all self-destructed. All that's left is Velmeria.

I tried to approach the square in front of the royal castle to check the current situation in Velmeria, but it was impossible. After all, the place was already in a state of hell.

I mean, how big was the square in front of the royal castle?

Originally, there was supposed to be a beautiful square with neatly laid cobblestones……But now, it's only a bare ground, with lots of craters and bumps stretches on and on.

No, some of it is so flat it looks as if it's been graded with a road roller. I've seen this before in Beastman country. It's definitely the work of Ashwrath.

The surrounding mansions and the royal castle, which was supposed to have been protected by strong barriers, had completely collapsed, and I couldn't tell where the square was from where I was. Moreover, the destruction was still ongoing.

Boooaaam!

Boooooom!

Ashwrath wields Gaia in its released state, spreading destruction. As soon as a large area is crushed by gravity, a huge rock projectile shoots toward the sky. And then they fall to the ground, spreading a great deal of damage. Even now, a nobleman's mansion was destroyed in front of me.

I thought he might have already gone on rampage, but I couldn't see any sign of it even from a distance. I couldn't see the blood-red, ominous and disastrous aura that had enveloped Ashwrath when the mad demonization was activated. It must mean that the opponent is strong enough that he has to fight without worrying about damage to the surrounding area.

In contrast, Velmeria - is that really Velmeria??She is moving at high speed, and I can barely make out her figure the moment she stops moving slightly, but her appearance has been transformed too much.

Her light blue hair was still remained, but her entire body was covered with hard scales. The arms were also enlarged and knotted, clearly out of the human category. Moreover, she had huge wings on her back. If they were the same kind of wings as a dragon's, it would be able fly at high speed with magic power.

While Ashwrath fights mainly with earth magic, Velmeria unleashes a wide variety of magic. I don't know why she doesn't fly, but she was firing a series of magic while running around on the ground.

Then, Velmeria manifested a pseudo sun.

It was just like the sun that had fallen to the earth, scorching the air and vaporizing the land. Even from a distance, a tremendous heat was beating down on me. It was so hot that my body would disappear in an instant.

The remnants of the stone pillar rolling beside me were bubbling and starting to melt and crumble. I could feel my endurance dwindling even though there should still be some distance between us, and I hurried to get away from it.

The magic contained in it would easily surpass even my Kanna Kamui that I unleash with all my might. I'm not sure if it's a flame magic or not. No, the current Velmeria might be able to do this with a Lv. 8 or 9 skill.

Either way, it's a destructive magic that's impossible for me to do.

Ashwrath popped out of the miniature sun. Smoke billowed from his entire body, and parts of his arms and face were burned off, but his life was intact. I can't imagine how he could escape from that thing without losing his life.

Ashwrath turned to face the pseudo-sun, leaping with gravity manipulation. Immediately afterwards, Ashwrath sidestepped Gaia, and the pseudo-sun contracted all at once, easily disappearing. The super gravity must have cancelled out the pseudo-sun.

In its wake was a beautiful spherical hole. The size of the hole was several times the diameter of the pseudo-sun, no less than fifty meters. It seemed to have vaporized not only the area it had touched, but also the surrounding land, making it disappear.

Then, Ashwrath launched a counterattack.

In the place where the pseudo-sun was, a small black sphere is now created. It was really a small sphere, about 30 centimeters in diameter. However, something strange happened immediately afterwards.

The surrounding rubble and earth began to gather towards the sphere with tremendous force. Apparently, the super gravity was pulling the surroundings together.

?That's dangerous!?

I was also pulled slightly. I used my teleport again and moved away from the scene. In terms of impact, it's more than Velmeria's flame magic.

In the meantime, the sphere continued to expand and grow to a huge size as it was covered with the earth and debris that seemed to have belonged to the royal castle. The unceasing earth tremors were probably caused by the distortion of the earth over a wide area, not just in this vicinity.

?And Velmeria is……?

There she is! Right underneath a huge rock floating in the air. She was crawling on all fours on the ground, trying to hold on. However, she was caught up in the debris that was being pulled toward the rock lump one after another, and her body finally separated from the ground.

The new debris immediately covered Velmeria, who had been slammed into the rock, and swallowed her up inside. The pressure would be tremendous due to the super-gravity and the weight of the rock mass that had been pulled in.

I thought this was going to be a victory for Ashwrath, but……

Booooooooom!

A small mountain-like mass of rocks floating in the air exploded from within. The rocks of various sizes that burst apart poured into the surrounding area. The range of the explosion must have reached the entire noble district.

Although they were small, they were still rocks that had been compressed and compacted together. The roofs and walls of the houses would be pierced with ease, and people would be seriously injured at the very least if they were hit. The nearby area was already in a hellish state to begin with, so it was a little late for that.

Although they may not have been attacking each other in turn, Velmeria next unleashed her water magic. A huge water snake with eight heads was created and attacked Ashwrath.

The head of the water snake alone was nearly ten meters long, but it was blown away by one swing of Gaia's sword. However, that was not the end of Velmeria's attack.

The eight-headed water serpent restricted Ashwrath's movement, and then she unleashed her main attack. It was a technique that I was familiar with. No, I don't know if I can say that it's the same as the one I use but……

?Kanna Kamui huh…!?

It was the same sense of defeat that I felt in the battle with Murellia. But at that time, it was a sense of defeat with hope that I would catch up with her someday.

However, when I saw Kanna Kamui released by Velmeria, what I felt was a sense of emptiness that I could never catch up with her. I can't even picture the vision of catching up. I don't even know if I can call it a defeat in the first place. From the very beginning, there was an overwhelming difference that was not even able to be called as a match.

It is denser and more powerful polar thunderbolt than the convergence-type Kanna Kamui used by Murellia, but it is several times thicker.

A huge pillar of lightning pierced the earth and caused a huge explosion. It was so powerful that the blast even hit me right where I was.

I see, so that's an extreme magic. This is what extreme magic is all about. It is a magic that exceeds the limits of human being, capable of destroying an army with just one blow. This must be the true power of Kanna Kamui.

I'm sure I've been unorthodox in my own way, but the battle in front of me was unorthodox even from my perspective. They unleashed a wide range of mass destruction attacks on each other, and still there was no sign for it to be settled any soon.

I can see some damage, but the regeneration ability is so high that it would be difficult to get to the point of taking each other's life if not for an instant kill.

But I can't just sit back and watch until the battle is over. I now has a reason to end this battle early, even if I has to be a little reckless.

?Aswrath's horns are started to emit a reddish light, aren't they??

I could see the signs of an outburst from Ashwrath.
