I Was a Sword When I Reincarnated (Web Novel)

Mea, after Quina's argument about her lack of control over her flame, tried to quickly change the subject by feverishly addressing Fran.

- Yes, Fran, what profession have you chosen?

Fran answered the question in her usual unconcerned tone.

- Mm. Lord of the sword.

Mea's reaction to Fran's response was unexpected. Her surprise was so strong, she spat out the tea already that she was about to swallow it. So, why go straight to Fran's face?

While Mea was recovering from shock, I had to wipe Fran's face with a handkerchief.

- Once again, what kind of profession?

- Lord of the sword.

- So I heard correctly!

- It can't be, a profession of the royal rank ...

Not only on Mea's face, but on Quina's, surprise could be read.

- What is the profession of the royal rank? I asked.

- Among martial professions, this is the highest level. In addition to professions in the branch of the warrior such as "Lord of the Sword", "Lord of the Spear", and so on, in the branch of the magician there are "Lord of Flame", "Lord of Storms", and further down the list.

- With the exception of my father, I saw with my own eyes only two other owners of this profession ...

It looks like this profession is more advanced than we thought. So, "Profession of the Royal Rank" ...

- Since you are the "Lord of the Sword", did you learn to "Transform into the God of Swords"?

- Yeah.

I knew she knew something about this. So it's such a strong skill that even mentioning it generates an instant reaction? From Mea's eyes, she was extremely serious.

- Listen carefully. Be extremely careful when using it. Especially the first time. Make sure no one is around.

- Is this such a dangerous skill? I asked.

- Yes, dangerous. If it gets out of control, it will hurt both you and your comrades.

From what Mea said, this is not only a strong but also a dangerous skill ...

- Using familiar terms, this skill falls into the category of "self-reinforcement". However, due to its extreme strength, it will be extremely difficult to control it. And my father also failed in trying to control him.

- Failure?

- His Majesty, when he used "Transformation into the God of Spears" for the first time was in a group of comrades. He killed them all.

So, this part with the murder of comrades is already alarming. What kind of skill is this?

- Can you tell us what skills like "Transformation into the God of Swords" and "Transformation into the God of Spears" are like?

Here's how. Although their names are similar, can their effect be radically different? Although there is a great chance that they work in the same way, you need to listen to exactly how "Becoming a God of Copies" works.

- The skill "Transformation into the God of Spears", while strengthening the user, endows his spear with a Divine element.

- A divine element? - I was surprised.

- Yes. Although I also do not know the details on this score, among the many elements that exist in this world, the Divine element occupies a dominant position.

Divine element. So he must be somehow connected with God? By the way, I heard that although there is immunity to the flame, there can be no immunity to the Divine flame.

- If your weapon is endowed with a Divine element, then you can chop the intangible, kill evil spirits that even the "Crush of Evil" does not take, and slugs that are immune to physical damage can be cut in half.

So this element ignores immunity to any elements? It's just an exceptional ability. We can say that in this way you can defeat any opponent with a sword.

“But ignoring resistance is not the main strength of the Divine Element. Remember what I said recently? This element dominates all others. That is, no matter what element you fight against, the enemy will receive such damage as if you attacked him with an element for which he has a weakness. The damage will be huge.

Does this mean that he not only ignores resistance, but also constantly exploits the enemy's weakness?

“It looks like my father, when he killed his comrades, used the" Transformation into the God of Spears "without preliminary verification. Probably, in that situation, this skill was the last hope. After that, the father stabbed the dragon to death with one beautiful throw. But along with him, this throw took all his comrades.

The power of "Transformation into the God of Spears" was so great that the Beast King pierced the dragon with one throw of a spear, simultaneously simply annihilating half of the bodies of his comrades. The mental trauma caused by that event has not gone anywhere to this day. Now the Beast King never uses the Spear God Transformation if there are comrades or subordinates nearby. Which is not surprising.

“At that time, my father used an orichalcum spear. It seems like he could kill a demonic beast with a danger level B in an instant. I can't even imagine what effect "Transformation into the God of Swords" will have on Master. It is possible that even the earth itself around will not withstand such power.

Hmm. Perhaps, even if you try to restrain yourself, casualties on the side are still likely.

- Yes, you still need to monitor the strength. This skill puts an extremely heavy load on the weapon itself. Even the orichalcum spear crumbled to dust after three seconds of exposure.

That's how it is ... I guess this is quite normal. When you strengthen something through force, then, of course, it will exert a strong load.

“It's dangerous to use this skill for any length of time,” I said.

- Yes. You two, Master, this means that you need to be doubly careful. However, it also exerts a rather strong burden on the owner. Even with a strong desire, it will hardly be possible to use this skill for a long time.

In general, it is best to use it only when there is a question of life and death. With all this, you will have to try to apply it at least once.

- Where can you experience it? I asked.

- Yeah.

Well, here's another skill like "Unleash Potential" and "Magnificent Flash of Lightning" that painfully hits you ...

Moreover, in our case, we learned the skill by skipping intermediate steps. Therefore, we have not reached the level of body control and skills required for such strength. Compared to someone who received it gradually, the burden on us must be especially strong. As a result, the body will be at its limit.

But despite this, I am still pleased that Fran is getting stronger with me. Is there a case where a new skill can be used in conjunction with Magnificent Lightning Flash?

- We need to test it as soon as possible.
