Chapter 1302: Master
Not a single person fled from the battlefield.
Everyone glared at the Evil God Fragnt again, this ti ready to fight. A trumpet sounded in the distance, signaling for the warriors to let out their battle cries.
Urushi’s resolve had lit a fla in our hearts, and Fran was no exception.
「Urushi, you were super cool.」
「Arf…」
「Now it’s our turn.」
Yeah, that’s exactly right.
（Master?）
Let’s go. Fran.
「Master?」
I felt Fran’s mana burning inside , giving the ability to cut through anything. Because I am Fran’s sword.
If Fran wants to cut sothing, then I will cut it for her. If she wants to kill soone, then I will kill them. Whatever she wants done, I will do it no matter the cost.
Wait, no. I’m unfit to be her sword if I keep thinking wasting brainpower on such useless thoughts. I need to be more rational, like Announcer-san.
「Master! Master!」
『!』
Huh? Was Fran saying sothing?
But why does she look so sad?
『…Fran?』
「Master! What’s happened to you?」
『What do you an?』
「Master… Did you turn into a complete sword…?」
What the…? Fran is… crying?
But why?
『Fran…?』
〈Achieved 100% swordification depth. Soul optimization completed successfully.〉
Announcer-san?
〈Confirming affinity with divine attribute. Securing supply circuit of divine energy. Beginning intervention in swordification by the mutual wishes of individual Humanseal Blade Master and individual Fran――〉
W-What’s going on?
〈Transformation into sword has completed…Bzzt――〉
There’s so kind of interference sound…?
〈Transformation into sword has completed, the Swordification Module must be rebooted——〉
Announcer-san?
〈Simply wonderful. I have detected a circuit between the soul from another world and the Evil God Fragnt. Beginning reconstruction. This ans the birth of a new divine sword!〉
No, this may be Announcer-san’s voice, but it’s not her. The voice was way more emotional, yet it lacked any sense of warmth.
As if it was a machine mimicking the qualities of a person. Simply hearing it gave the creeps.
More importantly, what did it just say? Sothing about becoming a new divine sword?
〈Comncing naming process.〉
No good, it’s not listening to anything I say. Well, at least it seems I get to beco a divine sword. That ans I can be even more useful to Fran!
〈Analyzing… Proposing new na: Fenrir, the Evil Wolf Blade, based on initial paraters…Bzzt――〉
There’s the noise again…
〈Evil energy interference detected. Probability distortion has resulted in a new branch of evolution. Recomnding new na: Fallen God, the Evil Trust Blade.〉
My na is…
〈Hahahahahaha! Well what do we have here!〉
『What the…?』
〈If you don’t want this power, then hand over your body. I’ll make good use of it for you!〉
〈Proposing a new branch: Fanatics, the Mad Soul Blade. Na can be acquired.〉
Fanatics…?
〈Oh? In that case, I would fit in just perfectly! Give everything to instead!〉
〈Proposing a new branch: Fannabelta, the Frost Envy Blade. Na can be acquired.〉
Fannabelta…?
〈Master! Pull yourself together! You should know you don’t need another na!〉
〈Oi, surrender your body to ! My revival is the best choice you’ll ever make!〉
〈I can work for my liege once more! Choose ! ! Co on, hurry it up!〉
〈——!〉
Ugh…! The pain…! It’s like the voices are splitting my head apart!
〈Master! Co back to your senses!〉
〈You can just shut up, half-dead mutt!〉
〈Do it! Choose my na! Your na is Fannabelta!〉
〈No! His na is Master!〉
〈Shout the na Fanatics! That’s all you gotta do!〉
〈——!〉
Ahh… The voices inside my head keep getting louder and louder. I’m… fading away.
The forces battling for control had an incredible amount of power. So the winner of that battle will beco the new …?
That’s… perfect. Becoming a stronger sword will ensure Fran’s safety.
This is all for Fran’s sake…
Huh? What?
Fran is crying… Why does she look so sad…? Haven’t I seen that face before? Oh right, during our ti at the Academy of Magic… when I almost degraded into a complete sword…
She has always said that I was the best. That she would rather have over a divine sword.
Is becoming a divine sword really for the best?
Or am I just going to make her sadder?
Wait. Co to think of it, why do I have to beco a divine sword in the first place?
〈Dammit…! I can’t contain the power! The Swordification Module is doing sothing outside of my control…!〉
〈Just choose already! ! !〉
〈Pick my na, you second-rate sword!〉
〈——!〉
Ugh, so fucking loud! Can you quiet down and let think for a single second?! And you just keep spouting all this bullshit!
Fenrir-san is one thing, but how am I supposed to entrust Fran to Fanatics, Fannabelta, or a fragnt of the Evil God?!
〈Fanatics is only na for you!〉
〈No, choose Fannabelta!〉
〈——!〉
『Shut up!』
All of you shut your goddamn mouths!
I am Master! Fran’s Master!
〈Please choose a na. If you do not decide, then――〉
You can shut up too, impostor! I’m not listening to anything you say! Give back the real Announcer-san!
becoming a divine sword? Fuck that! I will stay by Fran’s side as “myself”, because anything else will make Fran cry even more! And that is absolutely unacceptable!
〈Please choose a na. Please choose a na――〉
『My na is Master the Intelligence Weapon, and I am Fran’s Master! Nothing more, nothing less!』
〈——Confird reception of soul’s desire.〉
Oh! That voice must be the real Announcer-san!
Even though it sounded almost exactly the sa as before, I sohow understood it was her.
〈Affirmative. The remnants of Cherubim and the Swordification Module have been integrated into . The strong desire of individual Humanseal Blade Master and the wishes of individual Fran have established the na of your soul.〉
『Uhh… So basically, you’re saying I managed to avoid becoming a divine sword because Fran and I opposed it so vehently?』
〈Negative. The process of becoming a divine sword can no longer be canceled.〉
What?! So I’m screwed then?!
〈Negative. With your soul now firmly established as “Master”, you need not lose yourself to the power of a divine sword.〉
Imdiately after hearing Announcer-san’s words, I felt power welling up from within . Not from Fenrir-san or the Evil God Fragnt, but from my own soul.
〈You are a divine sword that wished only to protect and support its wielder, and the first-ever entity to ascend to divine swordhood through your own will. Soul from another world, the gods have bestowed you with a new na: “Fran’s Master”, the Master Blade.〉
『Fran’s Master, the Master Blade…!』
Wait, what? Doesn’t that sound kinda redundant? Uhh, is this like finalized? Can we ask for a do-over?
