1st Passage of the Legend: The Awakening of War God
(What in the holy…… mother creator name is that……?)
Brenda was dumbfounded by what unfolding in front of her eyes.
Thanks to the tremor caused by the giant golem foot step, she gets her focus back to the battle. If not for that she might still be fazed by what she just saw.
That shows just how much shocking the thing that happens before her eyes was.
Just a moment before it was a view of a barehanded lad dashing forward, that view alone is already ridiculous enough for her. She doesn’t detect any kind of magic too from the lad. What kind of reckless fool is that lad is, she feels like screaming it at him.
But then something weird happened. Renya whom she has been watching since he starts dashing forward suddenly brings out a sword.
Where did that sword came from?
When on earth did that happen?
And those questions still looks trivial…… compared to that sword Renya uses. That sword definitely not normal either.
It was a normal sword. The blade looks normal, the grip is also normal with no special ornaments. It was a normal sword no matter how hard you look at it.
Eventhough it looks like a normal sword, Renya casually use that sword to slice that smaller golem created from magical alloy like slicing butter with a hot knife.
Seeing that, Brenda gives up trying to analyze that sword with her magic.
That sword is already a thing that surpasses her logic ability. Be it the material, ability, and history.
All of them are a mystery for her… an ‘unknown’
And Renya, as the one who wield that sword with ease, is also something surpasses her common sense.
She doesn’t know that that sword is a sword that Renya made when he was in god realm.
She doesn’t know that as Renya becomes a god, that sword has transformed into a divine armaments.
She doesn’t know that eventhough it was still in a fledging level, the scene unfold before her is but just a fragment from a power that surpass human intellect, a god’s power.
“Brenda, don’t move!”
“E…?”
Dumbfounded by Renya action, she forgot where she was now and made her response delayed. Before her eyes is the other smaller golem approaching her while causing a small quake as it advances. She doesn’t understand what does Floria meant by ‘don’t move’. Before she’s able to think of anything, Floria quickly acts.
“Choiya!”
With that cry, Floria was successful in knocking back that smaller golem… with her bare hand. Of course Floria movement is of those martial artists who had refined their skills to the upmost. But how could Floria’s small fist manage to blow of that harder than steel, heavy golem? There’s no way Brenda would know that Floria hit that golem while concentrating her divine power in her fist so that her punch would pack more strength that easily surpass human understanding. The other three from warrior guild are too busy trying to handle the bigger golem. They don’t have room to watch their surroundings so they don’t realize what happened over here. In a way, one can say that they are lucky. It was a scene that might easily destroy their identity.
Seeing a giant steel golem blown back tumbling then rolling on the ground like a ball from a seemingly weak girl punch surely might make one want to just stop thinking about anything.
In fact it was what Brenda did now. She just stands there with dumbfounded. All she can do is just watch things unfolded before her silently. But even with all this bewilderment, she was still able to hold on the magical quotient she had composed. It shows how high her skill is as a magician but in this situation it won’t even be a consolation prize for her.
The in the corner of her eyes she sees Renya dashing to the tumbling golem that Floria punched.
He closed the gap, and then with a flow like movement he pokes the golem with a trust. If that sword can speak then it would definitely says things like ‘Nothing can stop me!’ as it pierces the golem body easily. A hole created in that golem body. That hole was created in, if according to human anatomy, a bit under the heart.
“If the creator is the same then the core might have been placed at the same place. Looks like my guess is correct”
Hearing Renya’s word, Brenda reflexively turns her sight to where Renya was fighting. The only thing left there is just chopped slabs of magic alloy that already can’t even be recognized as a golem from its shape. It was perhaps to investigate where the core is placed but checking it by chopping that absurdly solid golem into small pieces was not how a normal human would think of.
And then the second golem ceased functioning too as its core got pierced. It slowly falls to the ground like a puppet that has it strings cut.
“W-what on earth are you guys…… no, it’s not the time to think such things yet”
Brenda forcefully arouses her though that was about to cease functioning too. That mind fortitude strength deserves a commendation for being able to stand up again in this kind of situation. Normal human would probably go crazy after all.
“This case aside what are you going to do next? If it was your sword then dealing with that bigger giant golem is not a big problem yes?”
“Well… this sword can only be used to cut…… With that size reaching the core might be hard”
With a troubled look, Renya set his sight to the sword on his hand.
Divine sword Vansurb「ヴァンスルブ」*
It was the first sword that Renya made. It had been used by Renya the longest, but its ability as divine armaments is relatively low.
It was a sword that can cut better than those tempered by normal human. That’s the ‘only’ ability bestowed upon it as a divine armaments. The smaller golem is not a problem but the giant golem which you need to strain your neck so you can look at it face? Well... it’s not impossible but it would take too much time.
“Brenda, can you pin that thing down for a moment?”
“…… all I have to do is just to stop its movement right?”
“Yup. Just make it stay put for a few seconds”
“That can be done, leave it to me”
After consenting to Renya, Brenda starts composing a magical quotient with full focus.
Then the problem that is left is to help the 3 guys from warrior guild. They’ve been putting up a solid fight against that giant golem but if the fight dragged on they would start losing stamina and will fall prey to the golem. Renya and Floria at the same time dashing in to help.
“Arda! Take a half step back!”
“Darel! This way!”
TL notes: what I can think of such item is like magical item from Breath of Fire 3 (if I remember right) where you use an equipment piece as item during battle and it will display the same effect as common magic but the difference is that it doesn’t cost any mp to cast and the equipment don’t get broken (used up) even after multiple time of use. Free magic anyone?
There’s also a message from the author saying that one of this novel concept will be ‘items and equipment that will display special effects when used as items during battle’
*Vansurb: don’t have time to check google. I left the katakana there so if anyone knows, be our captain obvious :D
