Episode 144 – Flame Sword and the Sacred Beast

If I only relied on the black sword Greed's performance, I wouldn't be able to even put a scratch on this beast.

First let's try fire magic. Canceling the cast, I infused the fire into my sword.

As soon as I did, red and black fire blazed out from the black sword.

『Getting serious now, aren't you？』

[Guess so. Not only martial arts, I've also trained on how to use elemental magic and pure magic.]

『Indeed, the density of your flame has risen dramatically.』

Why of course. While waiting for the news on Myne's whereabouts, I wasn't just sitting around the capital doing nothing.

My magic skills were obtained from Gluttony skill, so it's not something I originally owned. Therefore, with my little to no background in using magic, I had trouble handling it. Before, I pensated that by using Greed's second form, the black bow, in order to 'use' magic.

However, back in Gallia I was still with Myne and Eris, I was given a goal by both of them to train myself on how to handle the black bow.

In a land full of foul smell, I had to manage to hit my target with the magic arrow shot from the black bow without Greed's aid.

And from there, I gained confidence in my control of magic power, and decided that I should learn how to cast magic freely on my own.

Imagination was the most important when it came to casting magic. So it's possible to train it while I was inside Luna's spiritual world.

Then Greed also joined the fray. So every night when I went to sleep, when I wasn't training my martial arts with Greed or Luna, I would train my magic casting in the spiritual world.

That's also when I came up with the idea to turn the black sword into some sort of magic sword by infusing it with elemental magic.

This time around, by using Fireball magic, I tried to emulate Miria's flamberge. Though just imitation, the power actually surpasses the original.

『Well then, shall we?』

[Yeah.]

I jumped away from under the sacred beast, looking for another chance to attack.

Behind me, the darkness wriggled in trying to attack me, but I simply ignored it. Me being on Ares E already, regular monsters attack won't bother me anymore.

And also, because there was Roxy to clean the small fry up.

[Fai!]

[Thanks!]

I heard someone calling my name followed by the swishing sound of a blade. Instead of looking at the direction of the sound, I simply said my thanks while keeping my eyes on the sacred beast.

Cause I know Roxy would be there to cover, so that I could focus on my target.

And also, one other person.

With shrill sounds of gunshots, she shot several bullets into the sacred beast' side.

[Fate, thank goodness I made it in time.]

[I knew you would. Keep it up, Eris!]

[Leave it to me.]

Blocked by the holy blessing, the bullets didn't managed to deal any damage, but it still attracted the sacred beast' attention away from me.

Not missing that opening, I run in with the blazing black sword poised.

Eris' support didn't end there.

As soon as she realized her attacks won't deal any damage whatsoever, she started aiming at below the leg area and began shooting. Creating holes right under the sacred beast' feet.

As a result, the sacred beast lost its balance and leaned its heavy body to the side.

It was now full of openings. Desperate to regain its posture, the sacred beast won't have any mind to counterattack.

[Nice!]

[Cut it down for real this time!]
