"My body is made of swords."
As I began the chant, my entire body grew hot, like heated metal.
"My blood is iron, my heart is glass."
[Lea Lavein] began to die down, and through the pillars of flame, I could finally make out the female monster’s shape.
The female monster was smiling at me and Aiz beside me with the innocent, unguarded grin of a child.
"Beyond countless swords, for the sake of a single blade,"
But what could I do about it?
Aiz and I both hated you.
"Without a single success, without a single failure,"
"I forged swords that shatter endlessly."
The flames died out completely.
Seizing that moment, the female monster charged, using her massive body as a weapon.
[Press onward without hesitation, spear of thunder. In the name of the agent, I command it: my chosen name is Tonitrus.]
And at the same time, she began chanting as well.
But—
"Yet the flame has not gone out,"
I was one step faster.
"This body is made of infinite swords."
A wasteland of thousands upon thousands of swords spread out before us.
"What... is this?"
Aiz muttered as she looked at the wasteland.
The ones drawn into [Infinite Sword Emperor] were Aiz, who had been dragged in beside me, and—
"Urrs!!!"
that damn monster.
"All right, here I go. You damn monster. You’ve got enough tentacles ready, right?"
With the fire-aspected magic sword I had at my side, I swung it, and a wide blaze spread out, beginning to burn the female monster.
[Aaah! Urrs! Urrs!]
"Shut up."
The magic sword that released the flames shattered into powder, but I didn’t care.
After all, every magic sword here was a fake.
[Press onward without hesitation, spear of thunder. In the name of the agent, I command it: my chosen name is Tonitrus. Avatar of lightning, king of lightning.]
"Oh, really?"
The female monster began chanting even faster than before.
But—
[Thunder la-]
"Kazuki."
[Aaaagh!]
No matter how fast the chant was, all I had to do here was draw one sword and swing it. Unless it was a no-chant spell, she didn’t stand a chance.
"Goodbye. You damn monster."
[Aa...]
Dozens, then hundreds of swords surged toward the female monster.
Each and every one of them was Crozzo’s magic sword, a top-grade magic sword.
Hundreds of magic swords, engulfed in flames, pierced through the female monster’s body as she stood immobilized, and every single one unleashed the magic engraved within it.
[A...ria... Urrs...]
The female monster kept calling out some unknown name until the very end.
"Huuuu..."
And when the monster vanished, [Infinite Sword Emperor] was released.
"Ughhh..."
Then the fatigue and weakness that came crashing over me like a wave brought me down to the ground.
