The Great Sword is not the Main Body!-Chapter 111: Achievement (4)
"Rubia-nim."
Screech-!
As soon as Ser's voice was heard, dozens of arrows and harsh winds came rushing at them. Upon seeing this, Rubia immediately summoned divine power and created a barrier to shield both Ser and herself.
"Well done."
After confirming the existence of the barrier, Ser summoned dozens of spirits around her body.
Boom-!
With a single explosion, she created a massive firestorm.
"Tch, how bothersome."
From a little further away, Shirin, who was watching the bodies of the enemies cut apart by her greatsword, clicked her tongue and threw a flame that she had ignited with her fingertips onto the pile of corpses.
"They keep regenerating endlessly, just like they’re watching us."
Ser chuckled as she looked around, brushing off the hem of her skirt.
"...I sense divine power."
"That's right. It's not exactly the same, but I can feel Rubia-nim's divine power."
"Those idiots, they finally caused trouble... Tch, this place is more or less sorted out, so let's go."
After biting down on her teeth, Shirin snapped her fingers, causing their bodies to float up and dart forward at high speed.
"Is Noah... Noah, is she alright? She’s not hurt, is she?"
"Her body is fine... but it's a close call."
"Ah..."
The sound of the sky collapsing was heard, and just as they assumed something had happened to Noah, they immediately made their way outside the cave.
However, what greeted them was hundreds of people with strange powers.
They were the masters who had been created.
Although they were not as high-ranking as the Kalte they had faced before, they were still not to be underestimated.
When an arm was severed, it would regenerate before it hit the ground, attaching itself back to the shoulder.
If their intestines spilled out, they would roughly scoop them up and clutch the skin of their belly.
Even when their heads exploded, their bodies continued to move, showing insane behavior.
Still, they couldn’t just ignore them.
There was no doubt that the village of Cartia would suffer.
As a result, they decided to kill all of them, but had no choice but to be hindered by their ankles.
The longer this went on, the more ominous energy and horrific rending sounds grew louder where Noah was.
Rubia was beside herself.
She was angry that Noah had gotten caught up in something like this after going outside because of her.
She tried to follow Noah out of the cave, but since she was only wearing underwear, she couldn’t follow. She hurriedly got dressed but couldn’t even find out where Noah was, so all she could do was try to calm her frustrated heart.
"Rubia. Don't worry too much. It doesn't seem like Noah is losing."
Shirin, who was brushing Rubia's back, had a shadow over her face as well.
She wasn’t losing, but she could feel that the bracelet of Shinrok was reaching its limit.
If she removed the bracelet, she could easily defeat two masters, but if Noah used her vital energy like she had in training or thought death wasn’t a big deal, the situation would definitely become complicated.
"Do you two not trust Noah-nim?"
Ser, who had summoned several water spirits and was bursting them one by one, tilted her head.
"I do trust her. I do, but..."
"I believe that Noah-nim will overcome it."
Ser, who had burst the thirteenth spirit, smiled brightly and said.
"I was just kidding earlier, but even a genius like me can't guarantee the outcome. Noah-nim is strong."
"...Yes."
Rubia, who was sensing Noah's overwhelming power from the sky, couldn’t bring herself to smile.
She knew Noah was strong.
She had faith that Noah would overcome any situation.
But she couldn’t help but resent herself for not being by Noah's side during such a moment.
If she had been a little more careful.
If she had just risked the embarrassment and followed Noah outside in her underwear.
Noah wouldn’t have been standing there alone in such a situation, and even if she had, Rubia could have been there by her side.
"So, Rubia-nim, I think you should think about how to apologize to Noah-nim."
Ser, who chuckled, gave a teasing expression.
"...Is it okay if I just hit her once?"
"If it’ll ease your anger, I’ll offer up my cheeks and backside."
Slap-! Smack-!
"Ugh-?!"
A shrill scream escaped from Ser’s mouth as a mass of divine energy shot from Shirin’s fingertips, hitting her in the head and backside.
"Ugh... you really hit me..."

Ser glared at Shirin with an expression of injustice.
"Didn't you ask for it?"
"Well... Noah-nim and Rubia-nim's reactions... were just so fun..."
"So that’s why you have no friends. Just shut up."
"Not having friends... It’s true, but that’s harsh."
Ser pouted and kept rubbing her head, where the divine power had struck.
"Rubia. I’m sorry. I can’t use spatial movement anymore because I’m too exhausted."
"You don’t have to apologize, Shirin-nim... If I were more capable, this would have all been resolved."
"Was Noah-nim that strong? Even Shirin-nim had a hard time?"
"Now, thanks to the Shinrok bracelet, it’s manageable. But back when I was in the training ground... just holding that guy down required so much vital energy. And in the end... Ahem. Anyway."
Shirin, who was slowly stroking her neck, cleared her throat and looked up at the sky.
At that moment, the sky, which had been indigo, turned red, and the black sun, unable to emit light, appeared.
"...The Black Sun."
Ser’s voice, no longer soft, sounded cold and lowered.
"Ah... No."
Rubia sighed as the black streak across the sky appeared.
The Black Sun was something Rubia knew about. She had seen it during the battle with Kalte.
However, the dark streak drawn across the sky was something she didn’t know about.
And it wasn’t just any streak.
Dark energy was dripping from the marked streak, and from within it, the eerie sounds of despair and fear echoed.
"It was Noah who caused this."
"What...? Such foreign power...?"
"Foreign power, huh... I suppose that’s how it looks to you. Anyway, we’re almost there, so let’s prepare."
Shirin, who gave a bitter smile as she looked at Rubia, raised her greatsword and infused magic into it.
Ser also summoned several spirits of human size, not small ones, and prepared for the battle.
And then...
In the middle of what seemed like the end of the world...
Noah’s body could be seen collapsed on the blood-soaked ground.
"Noah!!"
Before the severed arm of Gallra hit the ground, it regenerated.
Even if the legs or neck were severed, they continued to regenerate.
[It seems like this bastard is rewinding time to regenerate his body.]
Not only his body, but his stamina, magic, and every condition reset to what it was before the battle.
And then...
Splash-! Crackle-!
There were marks where I had stood in the past.
And marks where I would stand in the future.
One step back, and I get cut.
Two steps forward, and I get cut.
It’s like the time of past and future has been sliced away...
[What the hell. What kind of shitty ability is this?]
Despite my efforts to block it with Carpen’s blood and Carthia’s voice, and trying to dodge, I was sure that if it kept going, I would be the first to fall.
If you are reading this translation anywhere other than Novelight.net or SilkRoadTL, it has been stolen.
The number of arrows, which had been dozens, grew into hundreds, and the space to step on was gradually disappearing.
Of course, these weren’t the real problem.
The biggest issue right now was that my head was getting more and more muddled.
In the first strike, I could cut off Gallra’s limbs.
In the second strike, I could explode his body.
But every time that happened, my mind got hazy, and with every wound, the thought of dying and being reborn took hold.
It was dangerous.
I was barely holding on with Carthia’s support and Carpen’s blood giving me strength.
Without that... I might have already killed myself.
I was trying to conserve my strength to catch the archer.
But...
[This is enough. Don’t you see it in your senses?]
‘If I expand it, I can see it, but it seems like I’ll get cut right now.’
[Stop beating around the bush. You have 10 seconds left.]
The sharp sound of rending came behind Carthia’s mocking voice.
With every swing of my greatsword, dozens of rending sounds exploded.
All the magic in the area shattered and evaporated, leaving not a trace.
I couldn’t even tell where the oxygen went; it felt like I couldn’t breathe.
[Forget about catching the archer. Just focus on killing this bastard. We don’t have time.]
Nodding, I kicked Gallra’s body away to distance myself.
‘...Hey, mutt. Just hold on for 5 seconds.’
And then...
I gathered my remaining strength and concentrated it in the greatsword.
The mental image contained in Frey reacted to my stance and rose up.
Gallra’s face twisted.
The arrows that had been flying by the dozens turned into hundreds and stormed towards me.
I trusted Carpen’s blood and focused my mind.
The pain felt like lightning striking my head.
Cells, blood vessels, muscles, and organs seemed to melt, tear, and explode.
Blood poured out of my wounds, soaking my whole body.
After what felt like 5 hours in just 5 seconds...
When Gallra’s greatsword reached me...
I screamed hoarsely and swung Frey.
There was no sound.
It wasn’t noisy; it was just silent.
A line, drawn from the earth, traced up Gallra’s body and reached the sky.
The scenery around it oxidized and vanished.
Gallra’s body and stature were devoured by the drawn line and crumpled.
The drawn line, which had consumed everything around it, was unsatisfied and crossed the black sun, leaving a deep scar in the world.
The arrows flying at me suddenly stopped.
Time, which had been stretching, returned to normal.
Torn time returned to its original form.
Gallra’s broken body collapsed into pieces.
All the strength drained from me as Frey scattered in the air.
Carpen’s blood, which had been maintaining a hazy state, slowly laid my body on the ground, weakening.
And then...
In my dazed ears...
I was angry.
I was furious.
I hated it.
But...
I missed it.
I wanted ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) to see it.
I was happy.
A voice, sweet and lovely, filled my ears.
"Noah!!"
The blood that had been sluggishly flowing out of my body grabbed my greatsword and placed it in my hand, then put the Shinrok bracelet on me.
Thanks to that, the pain lessened slightly, and the surroundings started to blur.
I saw Rubia falling freely from the sky.
Ser with a shocked expression.
Shirin, shouting "Are you crazy!" and grabbing Rubia’s body.
[Hey, hey. Can you hear me?]
‘Y...yes...’
[Then, when Rubia reaches you, vomit blood.]
‘...Why? She’ll worry anyway.’
[Come on, trust me and do it. When you wake up, it’ll feel like paradise. Really. And Rubia needs to be scolded too. Don’t you think?]
‘Ugh... That’s true... alright. I’ll try...’
"Noah! Noah!! I’m sorry! I’m... I’m sorry, huff... Noah... I... huff..."
Eventually, Rubia landed safely on the ground and hugged me tightly.
At that moment...
[Now!]
"Ugh... Ugh- cough, hack..."
"Ah, ahh...! No, Noah...? Ah, no... please... please, please..."
After spitting out a bucket of blood as Carthia ordered...
[Mutt! Hit her hard!]
‘Hey! Wait...! Gently! Gently hit her—’
Wham-!
A sharp pain split my head in two.
And then...
I lost consciousness.
