Isekai sword - chapters 291-300

Thus, I began by casting all the blades I wanted to make.

I combined parallel processing and telekinesis to cast, hammer, and polish different blades at the same time. I functioned as a one man factory and somehow managed to mass produce a whole slew of regular swords. Though I paid very little attention to each blade, my maxed out blacksmithing skill ensured that they were still of a decent quality.

The stats of each type of weapon were as follows.

***

ATK: 88
MP: 0
Durability: 300
Magical Conductivity: F-

***

Name: Low Grade Steel Sword
ATK: 114
MP: 1
Durability: 380

Magical Conductivity: F
Skills: None

***

Name: Low Grade Magic Steel Sword
ATK: 124
MP: 10
Durability: 390
Magical Conductivity: F+
Skills: None

***

Given that, I decided to make all the remaining swords into Low Grade Magic Steel Swords.

And for comparison’s sake, Old Man Gallus’ swords had the tendency to look much more powerful. I recalled one of their stat pages as I worked.

***

Name: High Grade Steel Longsword
ATK: 398
MP: 5
Durability: 600
Magical Conductivity: F
Skills: None

***

The thought reaffirmed the fact that Gallus was one hell of a smith.

His surprise was clear. The man was so shocked, in fact, that he readily agreed to our request without so much as asking a question. He simply nodded as he opened the gate in a hurry.

“Thanks.”

As today was a bit of a special case, Fran didn’t dismount Urushi. She rode him through town and had him fly above the buildings it was comprised of. The wolf flew straight as an arrow and made it to the lord’s house, the manor that lay at the town’s centre, in a mere matter of moments.

The largest hole we could possibly make was only three meters wide, three meters deep, and five meters long. Of course, it was possible for us to use the spell over and over, but crafting something in such a manner would take hours, hours we didn’t have.

The two of us began casting the Stonewall skill over and over to produce a series of large, rocky blocks. They were a bit flimsy because we traded thickness for overall size, but they more than served our purposes.

“Master, good enough?”
“Yeah. The whole thing’s got a pretty good feel to it. You can even see the windows.”
“Nn.”
“Alright, I’ll handle this next part,” I said, as I activated Earth Control.

I used the skill to maneuver the stony walls and close the gaps between them. Before long, we had ourselves a makeshift fortress. Located in the middle of the forest north of Schwartzekatze, the building was large enough even to be seen from afar. Its gate was so large that it almost seemed to resemble the Arc de Triomphe. Appearance wise, it was perfect. But durability wise, it may as well have been made of paper mache. The entire construction was hollow, through and through.

Still, it was good enough. It didn’t need solid defenses. We hadn’t planned on using it as a point of defense. It was a weenie, a landmark. The whole point of it was to tower above the forest such that it could be seen from afar.

I retrieved ten corpses from my inventory. I didn’t look for anything in particular. I just chose the ten humanoids in the best condition, so there ended up being goblins and stuff thrown into the mix.

“Alright Urushi, do your thing.”
“Woof!”

The wolf cast spirit magic and instilled force and will into the lifeless corpses laid before him. All ten reanimated bodies soon rose to action and immediately readied themselves to receive his orders. I grabbed a couple random worn out bows and handed them to our makeshift soldiers such that they could fire arrows at any monsters that neared. As I only had five, I armed the remaining undead with broken swords and spears.

All three of us began raining spells down on the army the moment Fran awakened. The battle was sure to be a long one, so we didn’t go as far as activating Brilliant Lightning Rush. Its suicidal downsides made it difficult to use given the circumstances.

“Ekato Kernauros!”
“It’s showtime! Kanna Kamui!”
“Aroooo!”

Fran’s thunderbolts, which rained down over a wide area, caused rampant destruction. The monsters subjected to the attack howled in pain as their bodies were torn apart by the magical lighting. Likewise, my Kanna Kamui, which had landed right in the middle of the vanguard, swallowed well over a hundred monsters, ending them before they could even make a noise. Urushi, the only one of us not to cast lighting magic, had gone with a bit more indirect approach. He had unleashed a toxic mist into our surroundings, one that caused the monsters that inhaled it to convulse as they were subject to an intense pain.

“Gyaaaoooo!”

The monsters began to howl and squeal in confusion as they attempted to figure out where the sudden attack had come from. Confusion quickly spread through their ranks. Operation Pre-emptive Strike success.

“Haaah!” Fran dived right into their ranks and began cutting down every goblin and wolf that she neared.

Her actions were precise and efficient. She instantly judged the strength of the foes around her before removing the weaker ones by going for their cores and smashing the stronger ones’ heads.

Of course, not all monsters were susceptible to magical damage. But those that resisted my attacks were torn to pieces the moment they approached either Fran or Urushi.

Urushi’s primary role was to function like something along the lines of a shortstop. He covered Fran’s blind spots and attacked everything that went after her with his venomous fog. I couldn’t help but be impressed by the sheer toxicity of the spell. Its poison was potent enough to permanently cripple a goblin, if not outright kill it upon exposure. The only problem is that it’s a bit too strong. We can’t use it near allies or if we’re in town.

It was so potent, in fact, that it was even capable of damaging Fran should she inhale it. Fortunately, the wolf was prudent enough not to fire it off in her direction, and I covered for him by blowing away any that did drift over with my magic. Of course, it was still a bit risky nonetheless, but we didn’t have the liberty to really care. We had to exterminate as many monsters as we could as fast as possible.

The monsters began to approach with more vigour when they realized that they were no longer going to be pelted with spells on their way in. But even so, Fran remained unharmed. The weaklings before her were simply unable to cause her any damage.

“You holding up okay?” Still, I was concerned. The catkin was unharmed, and I had been restoring her stamina with my magic throughout the battle, so I knew that she felt no real physical load. But the same couldn’t be said for her mind. She was sure to grow tired eventually, and there was really nothing I could do about any sort of mental fatigue.

“Nn. Fine.”

Her reply, however, indicated that my worries were needless. I could tell that she wasn’t just putting up a front, that she was actually perfectly okay. As far as she was concerned, taking down the enemies that had appeared before her was as easy as a walk in the park. Wow. She really has grown. This kinda thing used to exhaust the hell out of her back when we were helping Jean raid that one dungeon.

Of course, a walk in the park was still a type of exercise, and Fran had indeed accrued a slight bit of exhaustion. Her breath had started to get ragged, but that was basically it.

“Let’s go!”
“Nn!”
“Kanna Kamui!”

There was a minor bit of delay before the spell activated, in which the magical aura radiating off my body drastically beefed itself up. The monsters reacted to it and immediately launched an assault.

But they were too late.

A giant white thunderbolt larger than even the Graphite Hydra, the largest of the five, descended from the sky and swallowed the jet black snake whole. Its ability to regenerate would be far too obnoxious if left alone, so I’d slammed it with as much burst damage as I could muster. Kanna Kamui’s light soon faded. And with it went the multi headed serpent’s corpse. The attack had burnt even the very concept of the monster to dust. Not a single bone or scale remained. All that was left was a large crater situated right where it had been just moments ago.

The aftershock, a heavy burst of wind, assaulted the remaining four monsters. The force was so great that it threatened to knock each of the four massive beasts off their feet and sweep them away if they didn’t take care to keep themselves firmly planted in the dirt below. That said, all four had gone completely stiff. Seeing the instant death of their ally had frozen them solid.

Freezing up in the middle of a battle was a huge mistake, one that proved fatal for the Steel Titan Bear that had been by the Hydra’s side.

“You’re mine!”
“Roarrrrrrrrrrrr!?”

I teleported behind the metallic ursine and drilled straight through its back with a telekinetic catapult. Its inability to react allowed me to land a critical hit; I destroyed its core with a single blow.

If it weren’t so taken aback, the bear likely would’ve been able to detect the attack and, at the very least, move to protect its vitals. But as it was now, the bear lacked the capacity to even so much as fathom that I, a sword, would be able to move on my own and reap it of all it had.

The only monster to react, the demon, had been unable to alter the bear’s fate. Fran had already engaged it in combat and locked it down.

Still, the bear’s heavy defenses were impressive. My intent had been to impale it through and through, but I was only able to barely reach its core, once again showing that it had been no small fry.

The massive insect charged at Fran the moment she glanced at the demon. She realized the moment the creature began to accelerate, and readied her defenses, but they were easily broken.

It turned out that the beetle was capable of not only using its magic as a propellant, but also condensing it around its horn in order to up its damage. The force of its blow was able to tear right through the barrier she threw up.

Both her right arm and right leg ended up bent the wrong way. Her head was bleeding pretty heavily as well. But that wasn’t even the worst of it. The whole right side of her gut had been wrenched out by the beetle’s horn.

I immediately threw out a Greater Heal, but the spell wasn’t strong enough to close the wound.

“Fran! Use Instant Regeneration! Right now!”

The only response I got from her was a cough.

“Can you hear me, Fran!? You need to use Instant Regeneration!!”

My second shout got through to her, as she nodded while wincing, her face distorted in pain. Her wound then quickly began to close. Luckily, she had made it just in time.

Like the second, the third monster was also a type of beast. Namely, a Steel Titan Bear. The ten meter tall mammal had skin as hard as steel covering its entire body. It didn’t really have any special skills, but its stats, especially its defenses, were incredible. Its strength sat at a whole 1286, meaning it could output even more brute force than the Graphite Hydra.

The biggest problem was that each of the five C ranked monsters was of a different type. The largest was a multi headed snake known as a Graphite Hydra. Its scales shone with a black lustre, as could be guessed from its name. Each of its six heads were wide enough to swallow Fran whole, and all in all, the oversized snake was at least twenty meters long. It had the ability to rapidly regenerate, but that wasn’t all. It was capable of spitting breaths of fire, poison, and darkness.
