Chapter 416: The Magic Swords Identity

Chapter 416: The Magic Swords Identity

Shortly after our battle with Hamuls ended.

Velmeria and others came down to the underpass. She rushes to Fran with a worried look. So, the escorts sent to Fran was Velmeria huh.

「I'm terribly sorry. Even though he said i must be wary of any enemies coming into contact with Fran...」

「But i never expected it to be in a place like this...」

Apparently, my guess about a barrier to prevent people to enter the underpass was correct. According to Frederick's analysis, it seems that this underpass would be hard to recognized unless you have certain or higher status.

Moreover, it seems to be considerably higher cause even Velmeria and others couldn’t break in.

Because of that, Velmeria and Frederick lost sight of Fran and stuck around. They seem to not recognize we had entered the underpass because of the high-level barrier.

Both of them are quite dispirited. In the end, they can't grasp our opponent identity.

「What happened?」

「Attacked by street murderer」

「Street murderer...Did he escape?」

「Defeated it. I can take it out」

「Ah, you were a space-time magic user right, does it mean, you killed him?」

「Nn」eria thinks on Fran nods.

「Even so, I don't think a mere street murderer can put up such barrier」

Surely, but I don't know if it was just a mere street murderer.

「He had strange sword」

「Sword?」

「Nn, it was a magic sword」

Fran asks Velmeria and others about the magic sword that Hamuls had. However, it was not possible to identify the true identity of the magic sword by only that.

However, we tell them that the sword seems to be manipulating Hamuls and also greatly improved his ability, and about how it escaped by moving alone.

「Impossible...It can manipulate people? is there really such a magic sword」

「Well, you are right...I don't have any proof, but if it's an undead sword, it might be possible」

Velmeria gently touches Hamuls's face, she seems to be trying to close Hamuls's eyes which remains open. However, her hand suddenly stopped.

「This is...?」

「Velmeria, what's wrong?」

「Frederick, take a looks at Hamuls's eyes」

「Eyes?」

「Yes」

「I see. This colour...」

And like that, the two begin to examine Hamuls's body. they examined his eyes, his gums, and smells. Further, Velmeria apologized at Hamuls and she lightly scratched her fingertips and checked his blood colour.

「What's wrong?」

「Yea. on Hamuls's body...it's showing symptoms of being a drug addict」

「His body is pretty tattered. I think he was given a large quantity of drugs in a short period of time」

Speaking of drugs, I recalled Serdio. His party member was also a servant of Marquis Ashtner and he was also insane.

Did it mean, he was captured by Marquis Ashtner during the infiltration, administered drugs, and used as a host for the undead sword? It means, when you lose your sanity with the drugs, even a strong person wouldn't be able to resist the control of an undead sword.

Even so, the appraisal didn't tell us he was a drug addict, right? Serdio had the title of a drug addict. No, are constant addict and being drugged different? Apparently, the addict isn't listed as a title. Does Hamuls's state, Fanaticism represent for being drugged? Drugs addiction and fanaticism...I can't really connect it together.

The most important thing for us than that now was how much Marquis Ashtner involved in this attack, and what he knew.

Does Marquis Ashtner known that Fran was looking for Gallus and that attack was a warning for us? Did he think we were related to Count Bailleys? Or is Marquis Ashtner not involved in this attack at all?

Well, I don't think the last one is possible...Now, how should we move in the future huh.

「Fran, are you injured」

「Nn? no」

「Although he was being manipulated, but you didn't suffer a single wound against a warrior like Hamuls...You are really strong」

It was a compliment, but her tone was dark. Rather than blaming Fran, she has a colour of self-mockery.

「If it as strong as you, my father too...」

「Nn?」

「No, it's nothing」

The expression of Velmeria shaking her head after saying that is still dull. And Frederick stared quietly at such Velmeria.

And then, Urushi returned, but the chase seems to have failed. He looks disheartened. However, something that flies in the sky was hard to track by smell only, so it can't be helped.

Even so, where on earth did that conspicuous magic sword disappear?
