CH 28

It’s not easy to maintain a magically created sword. It consumes so much magic power that it makes me feel light-headed.

In spite of this, I pour my magic power into the unnamed holy sword. I felt like I was going to faint, but I held it together with my spirit.

The rainbow-colored light of the sword’s blade becomes stronger, and at the same time, a holy atmosphere wraps around me. The divinity of the holy sword has increased.

The skeleton knights that were closing in on me stopped and backed away.

「That’s right, this light must be hard for you guys.」

Whoever holds this holy sword will be able to use «Turn Undead» magic. It’s a weapon specific ability.

I’m not a fan of holy magic at all, but I can use it just by consuming magic power, and even the power is amplified. It’s a very useful weapon. It’s no wonder the church is so strict about keeping them out of the hands of the general public.

The giant skeleton knight approaches, blowing the skeleton knight away, but it’s too late. Just as it was about to take one more step, the wall of light prevented it from touching me. On the contrary, the bones in contact with the light are melting away.

「This light is the same as the Turn Undead. It must hurt like burning.」

I tried to swear and get my energy up, but I was already at my limit. My magic power is running out.

Take the maximum amount of firepower I can muster right now!

「Holy light, let the undead perish. «Turn Undead»!」

As I chanted the words using the function of the holy sword, a pillar of pure white light rose from the hole towards the sky.

The skeletons that were about to attack me disappeared into ashes in an instant. In addition, the undead that had been peeking down from the ground were also wiped out cleanly.

All that was left was a magical stone that had lost its light. There were many of them lying on the ground.

「To be able to get through …….」

The holy sword is already gone. I’ve used up my magical power, and I can’t put up with my whole body now.

As I sat down on the ground, I lied down. My eyelids are heavy. This is a typical symptom of magic power depletion.

The aftermath of the «Turn Undead» still lingered around me, and the holy air had not yet disappeared. In this state, the undead would not be able to get close to me. It might be safer to take a break here than to head for the ground in a dizzy state.

As I was thinking about this, my eyelids suddenly started to get heavy. My eyes were blurry and my vision blurred.

This is not good. I can’t just go to sleep because I think it might be safe! Get up, me! I’m in a dungeon!

I tried to mobilize all my willpower to move my body, but instead of gaining strength, I was losing it. My consciousness was on the verge of jumping.

If I had at least had a companion, I could have entrusted him with guarding me.

The moment I fell asleep, I remembered the party members who had kicked me out.
