Chapter 543: Someone that Get in The Way


「Zelos… Reed!」


Fran, who was running while being clad in black lightning, muttered a word filled with killing intent. However, she didn’t leak any killing intent at all.


As a result of the use of Awakening and Brilliant Lightning Rush, a large amount of magic power has leaked out. However, whether or not there was killing intent attached to it, it could buy her a fraction of a second before the target she was aiming for―Zelos Reed―noticed her.


Fran was calm even though she was dominated by fury. Calmly, she acted to kill Zelos Reed.


「Sword G.o.d Transformation!」


『Ugh…!』


This was bad. Fran was even more p.i.s.sed than I had thought. She didn’t even check to see if it was okay for me to use the Sword G.o.d Transformation! The usual Fran would never do something like this!


I couldn’t stop her anymore at this point. Her eyes were simply focused on the large, scarred man directly in front of her.


For some reason, his evil spirit seemed to have faded, as I could finally sense it at this distance, but I could certainly feel the evil spirit from inside the man. That figure and that evil spirit. He was definitely Zelos Reed.


Zelos Reed’s face finally turned to look at her, as if he had noticed Fran’s gaze, which was filled with crazy killing intent.


Our surroundings looked slower as we had entered the realm of super speed with our Sword G.o.d Transformation, and it had probably only been a few blinks since Fran had awakened. However, the distance between us was already less than half.


More magic power then gushed out of Fran, and the black lightning in her body increased in density. Then, Fran, who was running at full speed, turned into black lightning.


「Black Thunder Rolls!」


The place where Fran reappears after moving at super high speed with the Black Thunder Rolls was behind Zelos Reed. She had pulled me out of my scabbard and positioned me at her hips.


「Haaa!」


Fran’s suppressed energy overflowed. It was the first time that even I had seen Fran unleash such killing intent.


As if seeking an outlet for her killing power, I was swung at him. Despite her current wild emotions, the attack was calm and beautifully executed.


The sword flash, which had been optimized by Sword G.o.d Transformation, was sure to reach Zelos Read in the neck.


He shouldn’t be able to duck at this point. Fran, who was in a state of Sword G.o.d Transformation, was convinced of this, and I could see it in her eyes.


Zelos Reed sensed Fran’s killing intent and tried to react to it. I could see his head moving slightly as he tried to turn around to face us. But the fact that he was making such a movement now meant that he was completely unable to react in time to Fran’s surprise attack.


No matter what he did now, there was no chance that Zelos Reed would be able to prevent this attack. It was already too late for him to try to activate any skills.


My blade then slipped into Zelos Reed’s neck and sliced through his flesh. However, it was just right after that feeling came over me.


Booom!


「Ghaah!」


『Ghuhh!』


Fran and I were blown away by an impact that came from the side.


It wasn’t that powerful. However, because she was targeted at the moment she launched her attack, she completely lost her balance.


If he had aimed for this timing, his discernment was perfect.


Fran twisted in mid-air as she was blown sideways and landed on the ground without any injuries. I wonder who this mysterious attacker was?


The crazy thing was that we didn’t know the source of the attack until we were attacked. Now we knew they were a little behind Zelos Reed. There was someone there.


I couldn’t figure who it was. But I could tell from the bias of the magic and the presence that there was someone there…


But Fran seemed to understand. Her eyes were clearly on the one behind Zelos Reed. Could it be that she could see them?


However, Fran’s eyes quickly returned to Zelos Reed.


『Fran?』


「Let’s go」


『Eh?』


Without the slightest hesitation, Fran’s next move was to attack again. She seemed to be planning to defeat Zelos Reed here, even if it meant ignoring the mysterious person who had attacked us earlier.


No, it seemed that she would try to block their attack by putting up a barrier. Did she find out the ident.i.ty of the other party?


「Tsk! This brat!」


「Haaah!」


In the meantime, Fran, who was in a state of Sword G.o.d Transformation, slashed at Zelos Reed without hiding the vicious killing intent coming out from her.


With the first blow, she sliced off his left arm, but the feeling was strange. It was clearly not flesh, but a hard substance.


Then I remembered. Come to think of it, Kiara’s last attack had severed Zelos Reed’s left arm, and apparently, it wouldn’t regenerate.


For the evil people, the divine attribute was not only a weakness for them, but it could inflict fatal damage. And now she was clad in that divine attribute due to the effects of Sword G.o.d Transformation.


This was not a relief or anything, but a chance. If we hit Zelos Reed now, we might be able to inflict a fatal wound on him.


But this time’s attack did not go well either.


It wasn’t the invisible shock I had felt earlier, but this time I could see it. Suddenly, a layer of water the size of two tatami mats (Note: 2-3 meter) was stretched between Fran and Zelos Reed.


It was so dense with magic that I’d think it was made up purely of magic power.


However, Fran didn’t care and slashed at it. And at that moment, the water layer then created a huge explosion.


「Ghaa…!」


『Fran!』


It seemed the layer of water was created by compressing a tremendous amount of water. When the compressed water was released all at once, an overwhelming amount of water overflowed instantaneously, making it look as if a huge explosion had occurred.


While in the air, she was attacked by the violence of the water so I rescued Fran from drowning by teleporting. But I could see that even though she was drowning, Fran’s face was still looking in Zelos Reed’s direction.


She hadn’t given up yet. But honestly, she was already at my limit. Any more fights would be bad for us.


『Fran, sorry. I’m already…』


「Ugh!」


Hearing my words, she must have finally remembered that she was using the Sword G.o.d Transformation. She then hurriedly deactivated the skill.


「I’m sorry… Master…」


『I’m fine now!』


A tremendous amount of pressure then surrounded us. It was not Zelos Reed. For some reason, the pressure that Zelos Reed was giving off was not as significant anymore. It was as if he had no intention to fight us.


The source of the pressure was the person who had come out of the building after Zelos Reed. It was a blonde Elf.


「I wonder who is this bad girl who behaves badly in my beloved academy?」
