1064: Sword G.o.d vs Sword Lunatic

Brilliant Lightning Rush Sword G.o.d Transformation.

A vortex of black lightning and divine energy enveloped Frans entire body. Someone as strong as Valusa should be able to understand the sheer difference in strength at a single glance.

Yet Valusa only looked happier than ever.

Wonderful! So you have reached the level of King!

Here I come.

Bring it!

Fran leapt into the air after calling upon the power of the Sword G.o.d.

She had silently closed the distance between herself and Valusa before anyone could even comprehend her movements.

And the next instant, she delivered a slash of G.o.dly speed and sharpness.

But Valusa somehow reacted. He wedged his blade in front of me, interrupting our slash and barely managing to repel me.

Both me and Fran stared in amazement.

This might be the first time someones managed to block our best hit in Sword G.o.d Transformation. Some have managed to survive the injury or regenerate from it, but blocking it outright was a first.

However, Sword G.o.d had no mercy to give.

Valusa was completely spent after our first clash. Meanwhile, all we needed to do was repeat the same attack once more.

He was simply not capable of blocking us again. I can give him credit for trying, but we simply cut him down along with his sword.

My blade cleaved across Valusas torso, staining me in crimson blood. Meanwhile, the broken tip of his sword flew off and scratched Fran on the cheek. Her only injury the entire fight.

Valusa fell to the ground, lacking any means of recovering from a divine attribute inflicted wound. He looked up at Fran, his ashen hair stained with blood.

I am truly grateful. In the end Ive confirmed that my path was indeed correct.

I see.

Ive managed to surprise the G.o.d of swords. Even if Ive long since reached the limits of my talents Im glad I never gave up

Considering how crazy he was for swords, I thought level 4 in Holy Sword Mastery seemed a bit low. It seems he had reached his personal limits, so his skill level would no longer grow.

Regardless, he continued training and managed to fight a Swordking. Perhaps such gave his death meaning.

The Raydoss army all of their invading forces are mere p.a.w.ns Their guardians are the true elites and their chief is a monster

The Red Knights?

Hoh so you already know them. Youd better stay on your toes

Nn.

Hahaha Thanks for the good death match.

Valusa took his last breath with a satisfied smile.

Fran looked down on the man silently. After staring for a few seconds, she nodded her head.

I learned a lot.

Thats true.

I cant just keep relying on my skills.

It seems the experience renewed her determination to train with the blade even harder.

Master, lets go.

Yeah.

After using land magic to bury Valusas body along with his shattered blade, Fran turned her back on the scene.

We returned to the plaza, but no one was there. It seems Urus.h.i.+ successfully got everyone to safety.

After tracing Urus.h.i.+s mana trail, we caught up with them at the gate. Many of the prisoners were armed with the weapons stolen from Raydoss soldiers, which I had given to Urus.h.i.+ in advance. Seems like he handed them over already.

Fran-san!

Charlotte! Are you okay?

Yes, Im perfectly fine now. What about you?

Nn! Im fine too.

Charlotte came running to us with a tense expression. She had seen Valusas strength up close, so she was worried about Fran.

Now shes relieved to see that Fran made it through safe and sound.

Raydoss soldiers were still guarding the town gate, but Fran and Urus.h.i.+ wiped the floor with them. There were more than I expected, probably because they included the soldiers who retreated from the harbor.

The soldiers who ran to regroup with their friends screamed after seeing Fran catching up with them.

We escaped from Dars after blowing down the closed gate with a spell. However, some of the evacuees stopped in their tracks.

They must have run out of energy after hearing that we would be moving by foot to a neighboring town. Fran had healed them with magic, but she could do nothing for their physical and mental exhaustion. Some of them also complained of hunger and thirst.

Some argued they should rest and recover their strength first, since Frans presence would allow them to fight off Raydoss soldiers.

More to the point, some of them flat out didnt want to leave Dars. I dont know how badly Raydoss has looted the city, but they had their homes and property here. It must take a lot of courage to leave the town they have everything in.

A few suggested that Fran and Urus.h.i.+ might be able to retake the city by themselves.

But that was a suggestion we couldnt accept. While all of them were relying on Frans combat prowess, we dont have the time to babysit them for who knows how long.

Besides, Frans main goal was to rescue Charlotte from Dars. Sorry to the other residents, but youre just an afterthought.

You all can do whatever you want. But Im not staying here.

Some residents started making a fuss after hearing Frans words, but were soon silenced by others. Well, I guess the majority understood they had no choice but to escape.

Even still, some continued complaining in the same pompous manner. Theres always gotta be some idiots thinking theyre cool for not being in the majority. While in reality, they just dont know what theyre talking about. Backing up the idiots were guys who looked like wealthy property owners. That faction was probably desperate for any method to retain their belongings.

But Fran was completely uninterested in their arguments.

Im leaving.

No, but what about

I dont care if you stay behind. Saving everyone isnt my job.

R-Really?

Nn.

Frans dryness surprised everyone. It seems they finally realized we only saved them on the side while rescuing Charlotte, and that they might be abandoned for offending Fran.

In the end, all but a few of the idiots refusing to listen decided to follow Fran, and the rest of our escape went smoothly. A few people insisted on staying in the town like back in the villages, but this time, their relatives persuaded them to come along.
