Chapter 313 - Evil Stone Spear
Rising from the Evil Stone Spear in Valkyrie’s hand, the evil specter almost equaled the size and ferocity of the gigantic Master of Evil Arts, Rynford.
『Fran! Stop her before she can make her move!』 —
「En!」 — Fran
「Not if I can help it!」- Valkyrie
In the instant when Valkyrie, holding the Evil Stone Spear, moved to attack, Fran and Mare leapt forward. However, their swords were blocked so sort of barrier surrounding Valkyrie. The barrier seed familiar to and looked sowhat like Rynford’s but I wondered whether there were differences between the two, despite appearing to be the sa magic.
「I had planned to release the power of my spear in Greengoat, but now it doesn’t matter! Your country would suffer an even greater loss if I kill the two of you! At least you’ll get to die together!」
While she roared, Valkyrie’s wounds started instantaneously healing in a manner quite different from when she was sharing her damage with the Evil Beings.
‘Squelch.’ Sothing was squirming, bursting out from inside Valkyrie’s open wounds and filling them with new flesh. The reborn flesh seed to be covered in rugged, black nodules, showing that the new exterior had been regenerated into Goblin skin.
After an Appraisal by Fran, we found Valkyrie’s race had beco “Half Evil Being”, and “Evil God’s Slave” was newly added to her titles. In addition, every one of her statuses was improved and Evil Arts had been added to her skill column.
This was probably caused by the Evil Stone Spear, right? Due to the vague description Appraisal provided, it wasn’t possible to learn any further details about the Evil Being or the Evil Stone Spear itself.
「Evil Stone! Devour my soul and destroy everything!」- Valkyrie
Magic rose from Valkyrie’s body, gradually becoming contaminated by the evil specter. Eventually her magic had been completely replaced.
「Damn it. Fran! We’ve got to give it another shot!」- Mare
「OK!」- Fran
「——Inferno Burst!」- Fran
「Ha!」- Mare
This ti, Mare and Fran cast their Fla and Lightning Magic from a middling distance however, once more, the attack was reflected by the barrier.
「UGaaaaaaa!」- Valkyrie
Valkyrie charged us in a flash, her eyeballs dyed pitch black and an ominous, groan-like roar leaking out of her mouth. We could no longer feel any sanity from her whatsoever, it seed that her evolution into an Evil Being was progressing all too rapidly.
「Gaaa!」- Valkyrie
「Damn you!」- Mare
Using her sword Mare stopped the, now markedly more powerful, stab of Valkyrie’s spear and retreated a large step backwards.
「Mare!」- Fran
To support Mare, Fran also joined the attack. It looked like Valkyrie’s barrier didn’t have the ability to auto-guard so Fran, positioned behind her, easily broke through by slashing at Valkyrie’s back, cutting into her spine.
Fran’s slash had shattered her backbone and cut deeply into the underlying flesh, however her opponent’s recuperative abilities had drastically improved. Any wounds were rapidly filled by squirming black skin and, worse yet, Valkyrie seed to be completely unperturbed by the damage and didn’t slow down her movents one bit.
「Gaa!」- Valkyrie
「Watch out! 」- Fran
Valkyrie’s front kick broke through the Golden Fla’s defense and Mare was blown backwards. However, as one would expect, Valkyrie’s lower leg from the knee downwards had been charred by the searing fla. Moreover, the impact had completely smashed the charred limb to pulp. However, no sooner had the damage been done, with a strident “Guju Guju” sound, new flesh began jutting out from her knee and the leg regenerated. After several instances of this healing process, Valkyrie, who had once had a beautifully feminine appearance, beca covered with patches of lted, ugly Goblin flesh, the sight becoming increasingly grotesque with each passing second.
At that mont, Valkyrie quickly spun the heavy spear around in her hand and switched her grip, attempting to stab Fran who was behind her.
「UGaaaa!」- Valkyrie
「Damn!」- Fran
『Fuck!』-
While simultaneously attacking my opponent, I used Telekinesis to ward off the spear. At the sa ti, Fran used Divine Sword Techniques to counter Valkyrie, who, leaning sideways to dodge, lost her balance. Throughout the exchange, Mare’s flas continually burned Valkyrie’s body, however Mare herself had barely managed to stop Valkyrie’s front kick with her sword. The situation had quickly beco alarmingly dangerous.
「She’s so tough to deal with! Our attacks don’t seem to be affecting her at all!」 — Mare
With a grave expression, Mare bemoaned their desperate situation. Even if we attacked Valkyrie, she couldn’t feel pain and any wounds we inflicted would recover straight away.
「GuRooooo!」- Valkyrie
「Sh*t!」- Mare
Mare, who was once again hit by Valkyrie’s fist, saw that the burnt flesh began to regenerate, just as it had done before. If we continued like this, there really was no hope of victory. There was just no end in sight.
「Fran! I want to try a more powerful technique! Could you keep her busy for a while?」- Mare
「OK!」- Fran
「Right!」- Mare
Mare retreated while Fran drew Valkyrie away. Despite not using Brilliant Lightning Rush, Fran tried her best to keep Valkyrie at bay by herself. With the improvent of Valkyrie’s status, her fighting power had spiked considerably, however this was balanced out by the absence of Dullahan and the Evil Beings’ assistance.
『Haa!』-
「Fu!」- Fran
Fran fought valiantly against Valkyrie and, little by little, backtracked until she circled back to Mare.
Although Valkyrie’s fighting power had definitely increased, her intellect had all but disappeared. Thanks to this, Fran and I had a very easy ti baiting her in. What was most worrying, however, was that Valkyrie’s movents were getting faster and faster.
Did this an she was previously in so form of incomplete state resulting from her forced transformation into an Evil Being? Was this why now, as her changed body and newfound strength began to align, she was so improved? If so, she has the potential to beco even more dangerous. I suppose we can only hope that the technique Mare has up her sleeve is enough to put her down for good.
「Impact Slash!」- Fran
The next instant Fran blocked Valkyrie’s stab with her Divine Sword Techniques, using the force of the collision to put so distance between them.
Using this opportunity, Mare ca forward. Despite it being the first ti they had worked together, Fran and Mare managed to cooperate through eye contact, even their breathing seed to be the sa. Although she had appeared behind her, Mare’s presence had provoked no aningful response from Valkyrie.
「Haaaaa! Golden Interception Fla!」- Mare
Mare now carried the Dragonblade Llinde, the sword she had previously been using, sheathed on her back. Instead in her hand was a shining sword. The iridescent sword she held seed to be ford from the tight compression of her own Golden Flas. It was probably a technique that could only be used when the Golden Fla of Extinction was active, similar to Fran’s Black Lightning summons.
「Nuooo!」- Mare
「Ga…Ga…」- Valkyrie
Mare’s burning sword ran straight through Valkyrie’s back, charring her body from the inside. Valkyrie’s eyes and mouth began to erupt with a torrent of searing flas.
「GuGiaOOOoooo!」- Valkyrie
Valkyrie was gradually enveloped by the inferno, forming a golden pillar of fire that rose straight up into the sky. Without the dark shadow screaming and struggling at its center, it would have been quite the picturesque spectacle.
「GuGaGaaaa!」- Valkyrie
(ShiShou!) — Fran
『Finally!』-
Now that Valkyrie was subrged in the intense flas, Fran had the ti to release a major attack. I thought that Fran would use her Sword Lord Technique, Broken Sky, but it seed that it wouldn’t activate in her current state. Without Brilliant Lightning Rush, Broken Sky seed unable to launch.
『UOooooo!』- Fran
Fran used Godspeed Slash and swung at near light-speed, cleaving the air while using Transformation to explosively enlarge my blade to a gigantic size.
The mont I touched the Golden Fla, my blade began to dissolve. Fortunately, Fla Resistance prevented from evaporating instantly. Only by combining Instant Recovery with Godspeed Slash could I bear the flas. Sure enough, the Beast Lord’s Golden Infla could not be so casually touched. Nonetheless, before I even had ti to react, I had already lost part of my body’s blade.
In spite of everything, the mont I cut into Valkyrie, I finally felt her magic stone being absorbed. Strength flowed into ; this ti, we’d really done it!
『I felt it work this ti!』-
Our relentless determination had finally paid off!
