Isekai sword - chapters 241-250

Urushi was so fast that he managed to close the gap between us and the pirate ships in the blink of an eye.

We used our bird’s eye view to observe the pirates, only to find that they were staring up at Fran with dumbfounded looks on their faces. The daze lasted for a moment, as they immediately drew their bows, nocked their arrows, and attempted to shoot us down. It was a vicious attack, but not one that bothered Urushi even in the slightest. He dodged them all with ease.

『Ekato Keraunos!』

Countless thunderbolts descended from the sky the moment I chanted the spell’s name. They shot towards one of the pirate ships and annihilated it in the most literal sense of the word. It had been completely and utterly erased, there wasn’t even the slightest trace that it’d been there in the first place.

Looking at the result made me feel as if I’d gone a bit overboard.

Ekato Keraunos was a spell that created exactly 100 bolts of lightning. It was up to its caster to determine exactly how those 100 bolts would act. It didn’t take much effort to concentrate them on a single target as I’d just done.

Though it only output 10% of Kanna Kamui’s power, it was still evidently way stronger than what was needed to take down a small ship. It looked like we wouldn’t need to use anything more than our regular AOE lightning spells to wipe them all out if we wanted.

The pirates stopped attacking. Seeing one of their allied ships flat out vanish seemed to have scared them shitless.

That said, they didn’t seem to think Fran had attacked them, but rather, that the ship had been hit by some sort of abnormal, weather-related phenomenon. To them, it must’ve looked like the lightning bolts had just randomly descended from the clear sky above.

「Nn. Thor’s Hammer!」

Her follow up, however, clearly revealed that it’d all been her doing from the start.

A huge magic circle appeared right above one of the ships as Fran chanted the name of the spell that we’d gotten by leveling Lightning Magic up to level 8, the spell that’d failed to break Fermus’ defenses.

The thick, high powered lightning bolt that came with the spell descended from the magic circle. It tore the ship in half and left the pieces it touched charred black. Whoever named the spell had aptly described it; its aftermath made it look as if the god of lightning himself had descended, swung his mighty hammer, and smashed it right into the ship.

I used the level 4 flame spell, Exploding Flare, and shot it towards the sea.

It did exactly as it was supposed to, and launched a large fireball that ultimately ended up exploding with a loud boom.

『Welp. That failed.』

「But made hole?」

『Yeah, but I didn’t hit the right spot. I was supposed to make a hole in the underside of its hull, not in its flank. I mean, they’ve still got water flooding in, but not enough to sink them right away. Man, Flame Magic gets really hard to control when you’re at sea.』

『It’s been a long time since I’ve used a full powered Telekinetic Catapult, so I was thinking of maybe giving it a go.』

「Got it.」

I was really curious as to the total amount of damage I’d be able to output, so we put every last bit of effort into powering up my attack. We used my telekinesis, alongside elemental blade and Fran’s wind magic. We poured in every last bit of mana we could and purposefully avoided considering the effect the attack would have on my durability.

「Ready?」

『Ready.』

「Nn!」

Fran borrowed the help of a wind spell to boost me up to a high speed. I telekinetically accelerated myself even further the moment I left her hands.

『Leggoooooooo bitchessssss!』

It felt really nice to finally let loose and just bash myself into something as hard as I could.

I destroyed both the ship’s masts. I hit the first head on and totally wrecked it before striking the second around where it was rooted into the ship. Despite that, I didn’t show even the slightest sign of stopping.

My blade smashed through the pirate ship’s hull; it penetrated every last wall and pillar before opening a massive hole in the seacraft’s hull.

I knew that was what’d happened, but it’d all gone by so quick that I hadn’t been able to process it. For me, it’d been more of a three step process. I left Fran’s hands, hit the mast dead on, and then suddenly found myself underwater.

Only after returning to Fran did I realize that I’d punched a huge hole in the ship. My telekinetic catapult had done quite a bit more damage than I’d been expecting it to do.

Fran explained her concept to me. I was honestly quite surprised to hear it, as it involved pushing my ability to transform to the limit. Long story short, she told me to make myself huge.

Shape shifting itself wasn’t really anything out of the ordinary. I’d already tried becoming threads, as well as a shield on occasion. But this was going to be my first time literally just supersizing myself and nothing else.

She still wanted to be able to swing me, so I kept my handle the same size, but boosted the hell out of both my blade and guard with everything I had.

I ended up being way bigger than I expected. I’d long surpassed the horse slayer in terms of size; my blade had grown to be almost a whole 10 meters long. I’d more or less transformed into one of the anti-ship swords that a certain mech would always swing around.

『This work for you?』

「Nn. Perfect. Going now.」

『Please do. I won’t be able to keep this up for too long, so I’m going to have to ask you to be as quick as you can.』

「No problem!」

Fran more or less did the same thing she did to Rynford to the pirate ship. She jumped off Urushi, boosted my weight, cast elemental blade, and drew me from a sheath made out of air as she approached the ship.

「Haaaaaahhh!」

Naturally, the attack divided the pirate ship in two. The sheer amount of blunt force the strike carried caused the wood that made up the ship’s hull to fly all over the place as Elemental Blade set the whole goddamned thing on fire. The ship had no hope of surviving the attack. Neither its front nor back half could do anything but sink into the ocean’s depths.
