Chapter 448: Superhumanization + Potential Release

Chapter 448: Superhumanization + Potential Release

Marquis Ashtner fell into a puddle of blood as his body was split upside down. Beside him, the tip of a pseudo fanatic sword that had also been severed fell.

I braced myself, thinking that the cannibalism would be triggered, but the freakiness didn't struck me yet. In other words, the fanatics parasitizing inside Marquis Ashtner must not be dead yet.

Isn't the pseudo fanatic sword his main body? If that's the case, doesn't that mean we have to stop the Marquis from breathing in order to defeat him?

『Fran, not yet!』

「Nn! Haaaa!」

The stiffness caused by the release of the sword king technique has ended and Fran began to move again. Next, she unleashed Sheaths of Wind. It was aimed at Marquis's head. The Marquis's lower body could be seen growing out in a flash due to instant regeneration, but this attack was faster.

「You piece of shiiiit!」

「Hmph!」

『Tsk!』

What a surprise, Marquis Ashtner put up a powerful barrier to block Fran's attack. He must have focused the barrier on a single point. She slashed his head deeply, but it wasn't enough to sever it.

No, normally a cut to the brain would kill someone instantly, but the current Marquis with his enhanced vitality still can't be defeated by this.

But even so, isn't it a little strange? It seems too strong for a barrier that was put up on the spur of the moment. I appraised the Marquis Ashtner again and found out why the barrier had suddenly increased in strength.

What a surprise, he had entered a state of Potential Release. The superhumanization skill had made him stronger, and now he had released his potential. His status was unquestionably rank S.

It would have been nice to be able to take away superhuman skills and such with a skill taker, but it was still impossible to use due to the fact that it was used to turn Asurasu (1) into a mad demon.

「You bitch, I'll kill you here! And I'll take that magic sword too!」

The Marquis tries to stand up while shouting it.

「This body will die here, but it doesn't matter as long as I have that magic sword and that little girl!」Follow the latest novels at novelhall.com

Apparently, they can enter a state potential release, but they can't deactivate it. It's no wonder they haven't been used this much. Unlike other disposable bodies, they took 40 years to prepare. They must have regretted it.

『Don't give him a chance to stand!』

The Marquis' eyes widened a little, as if he didn't expect Fran to attack him. Marquis Ashtner's sword was raised in a panic to intercept Fran and clashed again――but it didn't. Just before that, I teleported Fran.

In the blink of an eye, Marquis Ashtner had been outmaneuvered twice and was completely out of position. Her second sword king technique of the day was released on him.

「Haaaaaaaa!」

「Hyahaaaaa!」

However, there was a gap between them that could not be bridged by a little trickery. The Marquis had even reacted to the God Speed of a Sword King technique and dodged it.

I was going to smash his brain, but I only managed to slice off the Marquis' left arm, while the Marquis' left leg, swung up in the opposite direction, pierced Fran's right side.

I activated my telekinesis to reduce the power, but Fran still spat blood and blew over 20 meters. As her body slammed into the ground again and again, she managed to break through the wall of the Marquis' residence and somehow stopping.

「Kuh...Gefuh...」

『Use regeneration!』

Fran writhes around, spitting blood and gastric juices back into her mouth. Not only were her internal organs in bad shape, but the rest of her body was in bad shape as well. She is bruised all over from the impact of her continuous bouncing on the ground, and she has some deep cuts. Both of her legs are probably broken as well.

It was amazing that she didn't let go of me in this state. Her eyes weren't dead either. After recovering her legs through regeneration, Fran stood up dazedly, fighting off the pain. She still intends to fight.

But I couldn't agree more. I was able to heal her wounds, but at this rate, she would definitely lose. In addition to the overwhelming difference in ability, Marquis Ashtner's latent ability has been released, increasing the power of his life steal and magic steal. Even now, Fran's power was being sucked out of her at a fairly rapid rate.

In this state, I can sense a large heat source coming towards the room where Fran is. If it can't be decided with my sword, we’ll have to use magic! While using magic to prevent the tsunami of lava from avalanching into the room, I suggested to Fran that we make a tactical retreat.

『Let's get out of here! and get some distance!』

He doesn't have space and time magic. If we keep our distance, he'll just destroy himself! But Fran didn't nod her head.

(No! Eliante and the others are going to be killed!)

『But, if this goes on like this, Fran will――』

(There's something I haven't tried yet! If that doesn't work, let's run away!)

『Something you haven't tried?』

(Nn!)
