Overpowered Sword

Overpowered Sword Chapter 10

Level up with swords (10)

Ha Geuk-sang, which started in secret, gradually gained momentum.

Starting with Jeff Heinrich, the Elmont gang was forced to be taken to the infirmary one by one every day, and Leon’s growth based on their valuable sacrifice became even more noticeable.

Despite their poor character, the gang’s skills were quite good.

The potential of a person born as a nobleman was so great that victory could not be guaranteed without .

Moreover, it was also important that we did not let down our guard, perhaps because of the result of the first match. Even if the outcome of the match was kept secret, a record of the visit to the infirmary was left, so it was immediately revealed who won and lost.

It must have been quite unfair for Jeff, who was his first opponent.

[It was my first time competing and I would have never imagined that it would make such a difference.]

“I didn’t know that myself.”

Leon soon remembered that day and burst out laughing.

Of course, it’s not that I didn’t trust El Cid, but I was quite nervous because my opponent was a nobleman who had learned Auror skills.

But it was over in one shot.

After that, I felt it while practicing under the pretext of a rematch. If you have Jeff’s level of skill, you can let your guard down and win with one blow. It was a confidence that bordered on arrogance.

The other guys were no different.

Leon’s ‘eyes’ could see through his movements, which were flashy on the outside but heavily dependent on swordsmanship and martial arts aura.

[But today will be a little different. Never let down your guard.]

“Yes.”

As always, I go to the annex when the sun is setting.

Leon stretched out his shadow and finally took a step towards what would be the final match.

El Monte Bourbon.

He is a being of a different class from the lower-ranking nobles he has dealt with so far, such as barons and viscounts. No matter how neglected he was compared to the eldest son, he could not have been raised neglectfully.

‘When using an Auror, El Monte’s physical ability is greater than mine… Moreover, it was in the status window that El Cid showed me before.’

Arcane swordsmanship (???).

It may not be a great achievement since it is level 1, which can be said to be the entry level, but unknown technology is the most threatening.

There is a possibility that even Leon’s ‘eyes’ may not be able to see through it.

The reason why El Cid told us not to let down our guard is probably in the same context.

Squeak.

As always, when I opened the door, Helmut, who had been waiting in the room, turned around with a subtle expression.

Leon felt something from his gaze.

‘Anxiety? No, it’s uncertainty.’

There was no need to look for the cause.

Elmont, who had arrived before him and was already in the circle, was glaring at him.

It’s been a long time since I put aside any pretense like last time.

“…I had no idea that my turn would come back to me.”

“Is that so?”

Leon smiled, not paying attention to those gazes.

And then he entered the circle without any hesitation.

“I thought it would be like this.”

He narrowed his eyes at the butter-colored hair. It was a slightly different color, but blonde is blonde.

It was perfect as a prelude to the match with Rian.

Feeling Helmut approaching, Leon thought of one last thing to be careful about.

‘I would be better in terms of pure physical ability, but considering the Auror, it is one level lower. If you can inject an aura into a sword, it is dangerous to just block a wooden sword. Then….’

Avoid head-on confrontation.

It was difficult to run away from someone who was faster and stronger than you, but with his ‘eyes’, it was not impossible.

As soon as Leon opened his eyes…

“Start!”

Helmut’s deep voice pushed the two people back.

Shoo!

It was El Monte who attempted a preemptive strike.

The speed is such that the tip of the sword trembles! The sting that was fired in an instant broke off several strands of Leon’s hair.

A sword technique used to check and accelerate rapidly with the wrist and elbow.

Although it may not be enough to pierce armor, it can at least break bones.

‘It won’t work over the counter.’

The basic speed difference is too big.

While Leon took a step back, three sword strikes flew. A slash aimed at the neck, waist, and wrist.

Sigh!

I dodged it twice and hit the last one in the nick of time.

Even though I released the force properly, my wrist felt numb. If I had blocked them all, it is clear that my grip strength would have decreased significantly.

Even though he was an idiot, he was a direct descendant of the count family.

“Hmm, they deserved it.”

Elmont looked at him with strange eyes.

If you’re just an arrogant commoner, it’s a different story if you have something to trample on or something worth embracing.

I was able to bury trivial emotions as much as I wanted.

But Leon had no intention of doing so.

“What?!”

The moment Elmont was about to say something, Leon aimed a stab at his mouth.

It meant I had no intention of talking to you.

Elmont, who reflexively took a big step back, gritted his teeth.

“Insolent… Are you being reckless and relying on your insignificant talents?”

“well?”

Leon let the verbal abuse go naturally, but…

[Hoo.]

I guess El Cid couldn’t do that.

[Leon.]

‘Huh? ‘Why are you suddenly calling me?’

[Is it true that a little while ago, that kid who was no better than a dog said that my skills were mediocre?]

‘Uh…’

When I thought about it, it wasn’t wrong.

El Cid must have interpreted the silence as an affirmation, and muttered in a cold voice.

[They say the mountains and rivers change in 10 years, but after 300 years, I’m being attacked by a brat with no blood on his head…]

‘Hey, El Cid?’

[In the first place, the disciple washes away the insults received by the teacher.]

Leon felt an ominous feeling in those words, but he was not the kind of El Cid who would stop doing what he was trying to do.

[It’s corn.]

‘What?’

[Let’s shake the corn out of that guy’s snout. One or two may not be enough, but as many as possible. If you fail, you will be ‘punishment’.]

Leon’s grip tightened at the word ‘punishment’.

It was an instinct carved out through a month of penance.

Since El Cid would never pick up what he said, the only way left for him was to comply with the demands.

Death seeped into Leon’s eyes as he looked at El Monte.

‘I’m tired!’

“What the hell!”

Elmont, overwhelmed by that spirit, shrinks without even

realizing it!

Leon, who didn’t miss that, rushed at him quickly.

is not only useful for counters. The pinnacle of insight that sees through all of the opponent’s tactics.

The wooden sword aimed at Elmont’s blind spot was swung fiercely.

Kwagak!

El Monte, who blocked the attack with an awkward stance, stumbled. Unless the reaction speed was increased by the aura, it could not be blocked.

Leon launched a series of attacks without any time for him to recover.

This is not an opponent that can be defeated with one or two hits.

You must create a gap with an accurate strike and accumulate shock in that gap to collapse it. Before he pulls out a secret sword technique worthy of being called a joker, he pushes him thoroughly and puts an end to it.

Kagak! Kak! Kagagak!

Two wooden swords clash fiercely.

Leon’s wooden sword, which pierced the gap with terrifying force, clashed with Elmont’s wooden sword, which was barely able to block it.

It is Leon who gains momentum, but the balance is not easily broken.

Unlike the guys he faced before, Elmont is an Auror user who has passed the beginner level. Because we were pushed back at first, we had to go on the defensive, but it wasn’t that bad of a situation.

‘Damn, is this too much? ‘If only I wasn’t an Auror…!’

What had been pushed to a 7-to-3 structure returned to 5-to-5. Leon read the change and twitched his eyebrows.

Even though we took the lead by going first, we couldn’t finish.

If things continue like this, there is no choice but to wage a war of attrition. Otherwise, it was best to induce or wait for the other person to make a big mistake.

However, Elmont gradually regained his composure and became calm.

Sigh!

We lost 4 to 6.

Leon took a half step back and reassessed the situation. It was an unfavorable condition for him in many ways. I lost my physical advantage, and there was a penalty for not being able to block the wooden sword directly.

It was ridiculous to follow that with just one eye.

The vision taught by Holy Sword El Cid was such an incredible skill.

“Persistence! “Don’t hold on and let yourself fall!”

“Who cares!”

Leon’s eyes burned with heat from the nonsense.

The lack of strength and speed is made up for by . If you can see the image that predicts the other person’s actions more quickly, you can somehow overcome this inferiority.

More accurately, faster and wider.

The Elmont moving in Leon’s sight gradually slowed down and eventually became as leisurely as when moving in the water.

‘done!’

‘Nun’, a step forward in practice, read El Monte.

Leon succeeded in retreating four steps by dodging, deflecting, and blocking the sword that came at him like a gale.

In a situation where they were outnumbered, they returned to a winning position.

Elmont, realizing the meaning, distorted his face. Even though I used Aurors, I couldn’t escape this stalemate. He looked at Instructor Helmut and asked a question.

“Instructor, is it true that Leon really can’t use Aurors?”

“right. “I received the same objection yesterday and confirmed it myself.”

“Absurd…”

Elmont sighed inexplicably and adjusted his grip on his sword.

He had already lived with a sense of inferiority to his older brother, but now some commoner babble made him miserable.

Eyes full of negative emotions glared at Leon.

“I didn’t know I’d end up using this against you.”

Elmont assumed a strange posture while monologuing like that.

This is a posture in which half of the upper body is turned backwards while keeping the lower body as it is. I would have thought that a stance that could only be seen in Lance’s mid-to-lower stabbing would be done with a wooden sword.

However, when Leon faced that posture, he even stopped breathing.

‘This is it.’

Vision swordsmanship.

In Elmont’s status window, an unknown entity was baring its fangs at him.

El Cid also remained silent, as if he had no intention of giving advice.

It probably means that he should deal with it on his own.

‘I don’t know what type of technology it is, so a preemptive attack is dangerous. How will we attack? sting? cut? No, I might throw my sword.’

Leon’s eyes sparkled like flames.

The whites of his eyes were bloodshot, as if he were going to look inside Elmont’s body, as if he wasn’t going to miss a single moment.

It was right after that.

El Monte’s upper body swirled like a whirlpool.

hook!

It’s just fast.

As soon as I took a step, my upper body turned. Leon moved his body even though he was shivering at the speed.

A sting like a thunderbolt aims at his heart.

‘But…’

It can be avoided. Although it was very fast, it couldn’t even surpass .

Leon, who was thinking that, was about to take a step to the side,

but squeak!

The wooden sword, which was moving in a straight line, suddenly changed direction.

‘ah.’

Dangerous. In that moment of accelerated time, Leon understood what Elmont’s arcane sword technique was like.

A stab accelerated by the centrifugal force of the upper body is a trap.

After that, changing direction using the lower body is the real highlight.

This is a misconception that assumes that the opponent avoids it. A first-sight, deadly strike aimed at the defenselessness at the moment of dodge.

The Big Sword of Bourbon Street .

‘How should I respond?’

Evasion is now impossible.

The trajectory hits the heart directly. Even if you pull away as much as possible, it will still hit the ribs. Since it’s a wooden sword, it won’t pierce, but you won’t be able to fight with several broken ribs.

Leon, cornered for the first time, broke into a cold sweat.
