“Divine sword release, oooooooo!”

Immediately after Asura shouted that, a light blasted up from the divine sword. Along with that, magical power started pouring out from inside the divine sword and surrounded Asura with light. The scene was as if a pillar of light was swallowing Asura.

Although they were far apart, a shock wave striked Fran and the others. At the same time, a cloud of dust and stone debris billowed everywhere. It was as if a dynamite had exploded at a close distance. Everyone was stuck in place and simply had to withstand the raging forces.

On top of that, a tremendous presence and magical power engulfed the entire room, rendering magical power sensing and presence detection useless.

“So this is the power of the divine sword!”

From the sound of that scream, he must have released the power of the divine sword. Furthermore, the magical power emanating from the divine sword was so intense anyone under its influence would feel as if oppressed by an unstoppable force.

Is it really the same weapon as me? I couldn’t believe it. No, I guess this is why the Divine Sword is called a weapon.

“Fran! Are you okay!”

(Hmm!)

Like this, if someone were to approach us through the dust, it would be too late for us once we actually notice them. With maximum vigilance, we waited for the smoke to clear. A few seconds or so passed, although it felt like many times more.

After the smoke cleared, the figure of Asura, who was at the center of the force, came into view. There is no change in the appearance of Asura himself. But the divine sword in his hand had been greatly altered.

“That’s the true form of the divine sword...? That’s no longer a sword... right?”

How do I say this? It’s a strange sight. The sword didn’t seem to belong to any proper category of weapons. Before its power was unleashed, it was a greatsword with a straight blade, but now the blade is warped like a curved sword. In addition, five sharp and large spines, like spikes, grew at regular intervals along the curve, with the tip having transformed into a peculiar shape.

There was a huge block of iron on the end of the blade, just like a hammer. The part of the warped blade facing inward is sharp and pointed like a pickaxe. The other side is shaped like a flat hammer. Moreover, it is tremendously big. The thick blade alone is more than two meters long, and the hammer portion nearly twice as tall, wide and long like a drum.

It doesn’t look very much like a weapon for personal use. It was probably closer to say that it was a kind of a siege weapon, like a battering ram.

Even after looking at the weapon and appraising it, I still could only see the name Earth Sword Gaia and a few abilities. The fact that it evolved to its true form must have raised its level to the point where I cannot appraise it at my current level.e: Earth Sword, Gaia

Attack Power: 4700

Magical Conductivity/SS+

Unfortunately, these were the only things I could confirm. However, this alone was enough to show that it was no longer just a regular divine sword.

“Oraa!”

Asura, who regained his true form, slammed the Earth Sword Gaia into Xellos Reed, faster than before. It was most likely the effect of its status being raised.

Xellos Reed tried to counter the attack with his greatsword, but he was easily pushed away. He still tried to twist his body to dodge, but it was to no avail.

Despite avoiding Gaia, an invisible force smashed half of his body.

Xellos Reed appeared to have suffered a fatal wound, with the entire left half of his body appearing as if cut off, but then he stood and still managed to balance the remaining half of his body. Normally, people would have died from that attack, but he was a person harnessing evil spirit power.

Immediately, the right half of his body began to regenerate and regain its original form.

“Oh sh*t! As expected of the divine sword!”

“Hm. That’s right.”

Did Fran also notice? I’m thinking of trying to get rid of Asura’s mad demonization. However, I was hesitant for several reasons.

First of all, does taking away the skill after the demonization has begun will stop any further demonization? Also, won’t he lose his ability to compete with Xellos Reed? That’s what I thought. However, it was certain that we will not continue to be safe in this state. Then we should just give it a try.

“Stop Asura.”

“What? What will you do?”

“We could do something, maybe.”

Fran explains quickly. We might be able to erase Asura’s skill, which might stop him from running berserk. But we weren’t sure.

“I mean, it’s unclear what will happen, but is it possible?”

“Hmm...

“Let’s do it. It’s better than nothing.”

Kiara’s decision was instantaneous. I guess she knew it wasn’t a good idea to continue fighting as is. Even now, Mea is still protecting us from the occasional flying debris!

“Well then, Let’s do it!”

“Hmm...”

“Skill Taker!”

“Gugaaaaaaaaaaa!”

Immediately after I activated the Skill Taker, Asura stopped moving. Soon, he began to writhe and suffer.

“Guaaaaaa!!”

“Oi Oi, What’s wrong?”

Xellos Reed also stopped attacking, staring at Asura, who screamed as he knelt on both knees. After a few seconds, Asura stopped moving and came to a still, and silence enveloped them.

“What... the hell happened...?”

Asura didn’t seem to know what happened. He was looking around. Kiara approached him and tried to protect Asura.

(Now all we need is for Master to remove the mad demonization.)

“......Aaa”

“Master?”

What is it? Someone said something. No, not someone, it’s Fran. My wielder.

“No, no, no-”

A sudden urge of rage and destruction overcame me. Both my eyes and my thoughts turned bright red.

In the first place, what was I doing here? Why am I resting in such a place? Why am I not fighting?

No! Fight! Destroy all enemies!

“Gaaaaaaa!”

Fight! I must fight! Destroy all Fran’s enemies!
