I Was a Sword When I Reincarnated

Fran and Ursi rush out again, following the pseudo-fanatical sword that slipped past us.

Fran also seems to be quite upset, releasing range magic and so on. It was like a storm, the lake was rolling backwards. This, if there was a ship around, would be letting it overturn.

I already ran quite a distance. It should be pretty deep into a lake the size of a small country.

Where exactly is the pseudo-fanatical sword headed?

It was just after I was wondering.

"Fran! Stop!

Fran responds instantly to my voice, suddenly braking. But he couldn't stop pitifully on the spot, and Fran's heel rubbed the lake.

Severe water splashes rise, like fountains.

Even though he became a wet mouse that way, Fran had managed to stop.

"Fran, let's go a little further if we can"

"Mmm."

"On!"

"Is Ursi back?"

I guess Fran and Ursi have already noticed. Honestly follow my word, about 30 meters down from the place.

"After all, this is where it is"

Various sensory skills have taught me not to go further. I don't see anything on the water. But there were signs of what seemed like countless warcraft underwater.

"Vivian Guardian"

"Definitely."

I guess this is the realm of guardians, where Vivian Guardian will attack you if you try to break in.

I don't feel any signs of aggression. Sure, if it was to the extent of an accidental intrusion, it would have to be to the extent of being blocked from going. I guess we're still at that stage, too.

"But what about that sword? Why are you okay?"

'Hmmm...... Is it because it's inorganic or because there's no sign... Let's try it.'

"Daijibu?

"Well, if it looks bad, I'll be running away as soon as I can."

"Mm-hmm. Careful."

"Off"

"Ooh."

I slowly made my way to an area where there were signs of Vivian Guardian as the Frans dropped me off.

Normally, you're going to miss about a single sword that's inorganic...

But soon I realize that this operation will fail.

Anyway, the sight of the Vivian Guardians around me is pouring all over me.

It is definitely noticed.

Still, it broke into the realm of the guardian with a glimmer of hope.

Immediately afterwards, a white warcraft of a form resembling a squid stands in front of me. It wasn't just one. Five guardians were holding me back, using me as a wall.

"Hmm, can't I?"

In the meantime, I'll try to block the magic and so on as much as possible. Now I can barely feel the magic, only a chunk of metal.

But still, it didn't work. Vivian Guardian came around before me on a big detour.

"These guys aren't so highly perceived..."

Then this is it.

I activated Dimension Shift and tried again. Though visible to the eye, it is inorganic and has no sign. Now I'm supposed to be close to a pseudo-fanatical sword in transmission...

"I can!"

Again, Vivian Guardian didn't move. They can't even react to someone in different spaces.

If we keep poking around like this...

"That's it."

'Huh?'

"You've come this far already."

"Is that Lane?

"Yes."

It wasn't Vivian Guardian who suddenly appeared before me. It's a familiar, odd-eyed girl.

As usual, I can't feel a sign, but I can see it with my eyes.

"Not yet, you can't go ahead"

"Do you know who that sword is? Besides, what's ahead?

"... stop Zelaise. If we stay like this, we can't stop the tragedy."

'Tragedy! Hey, you also told Fran that tragedy isn't avoidable?

To my question, Lane shook her head with a sad face.

"One of the tragedies was avoided. But the presence of new interferors is getting in the way."

"Is that the interferor, Zelaise?

"Yes. Because of them, the future I know is beginning to transform a lot. Even if the tragedy that begins with you is avoided, Zelaisse will eventually cause the tragedy."

'Even if they say tragedy... Tell me the specifics!

"Can't we help it if the road changes so far... In this lake, the Great Warcraft is sealed. You know that, don't you? But because of Zelaisse, the seal is shaking heavily"

"I knew it!

"If the Great Warcraft is resurrected, this country is not just sorry. Fran, who is nearby, will also lose his life."

That's the tragedy! But hearing it raises new questions.

"Why was my becoming a complete sword leading to a tragedy? It's got nothing to do with the Warcraft seal, is it?

"It has to do with Romeo. The Magnolia power of that child. With it, whatever Zelaisse does, the resurrection can be stopped. But it didn't happen before."

"Before..."

You've heard the mysterious word before several times. But Lane doesn't answer there.

"The fact that you have become a complete sword changes Fran dramatically. It's going to be self-inflicted and it's going to be more aggressive. You should stop that rampage, you've stopped saying anything."

If you ask me, it could be a possible future. It's an indisputable fact that Fran admires me. What if I become an emotionless sword? Well, it'll be rough.

"As a result, Fran will fight zero lead and defeat it. I didn't even ask for my life, after a fierce battle involving my surroundings. And Romeo, who lost his only guardian, Zero Thread, runs wild at the end of his disappointment, and the seal of the Warcraft fails"

I see, then the Warcraft will be resurrected and Fran will be involved.

You mean tragedy for us, for our surroundings?

"We have Zelaise ahead of us. We have already reached the land of seals with the abnormal gaps of the Guardians"

It was Zelaise who drooled the waste liquid and anomalized Vivian Guardian, but they had already achieved their purpose.

"If so, all the more so -"

"No. If we can win for sure, we won't stop. But if we can be hunted down, that man will not hesitate to resurrect the Warcraft. Looks like we're already on our way."

Defeat Zelaisse for sure? That being said, it is certainly difficult.

"That man, he's still playing. Still, I'm not going to revive the Warcraft. There's still time."

'In the meantime, you mean get ready to take him down?

"I'll take care of that. But we don't want great harm to be done to humans. Somehow, I just want you to prevent that."

"For Fran, I'll do my best."

"That's fine. You take care of your precious things."

The last time Lane smiled at Nicole, she disappeared to dissolve in the water as it was. You're still a spirit.

"Ah! I was distracted to hear what 'before' meant again!

If Sierra is likely to be deeply involved in this matter, do you know what that means?
