Overpowered Sword Chapter 126
Level up with swords (126)
…kiek?
Eight pairs of eyes were filled with doubt.
The thick body, which looked like it had been glued together from a shattered mirror, was somehow chilly.
It seemed like there was a big hole in it.
Kalraider, feeling uncomfortable, groped himself with one leg.
A cylindrical scar opening exactly in the center of the body.
Kyaaaaaaaaaah!
Kaleider screamed at the pain that came one beat late.
It is a fatal wound.
Even if you were injured with an ordinary weapon, it would have been a huge blow, but it was a strike from a holy sword that was like the opposite of an alien creature. The power to completely erase unauthorized beings from this world.
The flame of divine power burns him from within. Although he wasn’t dead, it was only a matter of time before he died.
“Hey, was your aim a little off?”
As Leon watched the struggle, he spit out blood mixed with blood.
If I had hit it right, it would have blown off the guy’s head, but for some reason, the light’s trajectory was bent and pierced through the body.
El Cid bluntly answered his questions.
[Disciple, since it was an attack with the nature of light, wouldn’t it have been slightly bent when it touched the mirror?]
“Oh, I see.”
[If it has a head, roll it over and speak.]
“Is that what a headless guy would say?”
Regardless of the size of the force, the interrelationship of properties applies.
In a way, Kalraider with the ‘mirror’ attribute was a monster with the ‘light’ attribute that could be a natural enemy.
If Leon hadn’t used his telekinesis to grant ‘Alkaid’ mirror penetration, he might have been able to reflect all of that attack power. The environment in which he could not freely use the Seven Star Sword actually prevented a fatal handshake.
‘It was dangerous, really.’
The Kaleido Spider, the spider of the kaleidoscope, was indeed a monster worthy of a goddess’ order to subdue it.
If he hadn’t been defeated here, he would have made the entire expedition his own and invaded Jugend in reverse. It was truly terrifying to think that a hundred A-rank people were constantly coming back to life and committing massacres.
Kyaaaaaaaaaah!
As if he didn’t have time to hide in the mirror, Kaleider immediately jumped out and struggled, digging into the ground.
Liquid that looked like blood flowed out from the gaping hole, and the mirrors embedded in the body gave off a strange light. Then, Leon seemed to see a human-like figure inside the light.
He rubbed his eyes at the incomprehensible phenomenon that seemed to be pouring out of Kaleidar’s body.
No, it wasn’t an illusion.
“Mr Berger?”
The faces of Article 14, including him, were spread out.
They were real people, not clones.
“Could it be that he vomited out all the people he had captured inside his body?!”
When I counted it by eye, it wasn’t just one or two trillion. There were more than twenty and closer to thirty. Twenty-eight. The seven groups were trapped inside Kaleidar’s body.
Excluding the 12 sent out to deal with Leon and his group, there were 16 more people? It appears that they were dispersed to deal with other groups of the expedition team.
‘People who didn’t know that those people were duplicates must have been very confused by now.’
Thinking that, Leon giggled with a helpless expression on his face and finally stood up and raised the holy sword.
Just in case, I was planning to make sure the guy suffocated.
but.
Crumbling!
The ceiling collapsed with an ear-piercing roar.
A large amount of dust and glass shards flew everywhere.
“What is it all of a sudden?!”
Leon, who reflexively took a few steps back, was shocked.
I was already being as careful as I could for fear of the tunnel collapsing, but my efforts were in vain.
But something moved beyond the dust cloud.
When Leon saw that, the few remaining auras gathered in his eyes.
‘What is that lump of mud…?’
Uncomfortable.
Just looking at it with my own eyes makes me feel nauseous, and violent impulses boil over me, like when I see a large pest in the kitchen.
What we saw as the ‘stigmata of the beholder’ was the plague itself.
It rots the land where it stays for a while and spreads infectious diseases through the passing wind. A whirlpool of harm and pollution stood in an inhuman shape.
It was then.
thud.
A person fell from the collapsed ceiling and landed next to Leon with a thud.
A presence that weighs down on your shoulders even though there is not a single enemy.
Leon looked back at him and opened his mouth.
“…Cardinal?”
“Yes, it is me.”
Irexana answered in her usual calm voice.
However, his physical condition was very different from usual.
The robes I saw before leaving were torn to shreds, and blood and dust were tangled on the upper body. There were several wounds on the side and near the ribs so large that the bones were visible, and it was not clear where the left ear had gone.
Sensing his gaze, Irexana smiled bitterly.
“I wanted to put an end to it on my own if possible, but since you’re a rat with an extraordinary talent for running away, I ended up dragging you all the way here.”
“Are your wounds okay?”
“It’s no big deal. “If you lie down for three days, you will get better.”
“I can’t believe you could hurt the Cardinal like that… I sense a hint of foreign law, but are you perhaps an evil cult?”
Irexana said while glaring at the enemy beyond the dust cloud.
“Yes, I am Cordia of Despair, one of the bishops of the evil religion.”
“Exorcism?!”
Unlike Leon, who was shocked by those words, Irexana remained calm.
He held two battle axes and carefully examined the creature as if he were approaching a fully killed game.
The most dangerous thing is when you are cornered.
You must take your breath away without any hesitation.
【Hehehehe…!】
Not long after, the dust cloud calmed down and Cordia, the Bishop of Despair who had been hiding within it, revealed himself.
I couldn’t see the face.
The inside of its robe was covered with invisible darkness, so not even the ‘Stigmata of the Watcher’ could reach it. It seemed like a type of exaggeration to hide its identity.
The guy who was trampling on the dying Kalraider shouted.
【What a strong hybrid cardinal! You deserve to be the goddess’ hound!】
Cordia stretched out her leprosy-ridden hand from the sleeve of her robe and pointed at him with her only two fingers.
As if it was even more hateful.
As if I felt resentful even more.
He just shouts like crazy while repeatedly striking with his pointer.
【Do you know how your blessed life was built on the misfortune of many weak people? A son of a bitch who bites the bone that the goddess throws to him in mercy! That’s you!】
“The scum who sold their souls to the foreign media are truly proud.”
【He is—!】
A silver flash shot out from Irexana’s left hand.
Kwaaaang!
Cordia’s arms, which blocked it, broke like rotten tree branches, and the crushed bones broke, tearing the skin and sticking out.
Supersonic throwing axe.
It was an attack that even Leon, who watched from the side, could not read foreboding.
【Kwaaaaaaaa! You filthy mongrel!】
Irexana said with a grumpy expression.
“I am not interested in the trivial doctrines of heresy. “Please don’t pollute the world any further and die as quickly as possible.”
【For people like you, I…!】
“Are you deaf?”
He throws the battle ax in his right hand with a few mocking words.
No, it was the same when I returned to my left hand. Two flashes of light fired at off-beats overlapped to form an X, and then bounced in different directions right in front of Cordia’s eyes.
Crown and heart.
Cordia, whose complexion became pale, hurriedly put together a defense, but her dying body was a beat late.
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
The moment the darkness that had been swirling around as if protecting him was greatly dispersed, Irexana took a step towards it and punched out.
pop!
Cordia’s head exploded like a watermelon. For one of the evil religion’s “exorcisms,” it was truly a vain ending.
Leon, who was watching, let out a breath that had barely stopped.
Exorcism and the Cardinal.
The clash between the two strongmen made one minute feel like an hour.
“this.”
However, when Irexana clicked her tongue, Leon also turned his eyes as if following her gaze.
“Ugh…!?”
It was a sight that could not help but be nauseating.
Cordia’s headless corpse was collapsing and merging with the Kalraider beneath it.
The boundary between the two creatures collapses, and flesh and blood mix.
A cruel desecration of life.
“Death Jutsu.”
Irexana explained in a calm voice.
“It is a foreign law based on one’s own death. “It looks like he used my corpse and that spider monster as a sacrifice.”
“Can you stop it?”
“It’s late. Because it was a type of self-destructor, all activation conditions were met at the time of his death. “Once it is activated, there is no choice but to blow away the entire formula that makes up the foreign method.”
Kalraider, who had suddenly been caught up in the man’s extravagant tactics, let out a short scream of despair, but the sound was quickly cut off.
The death spell law was activated.
―Giggles.
A feeling of extreme discomfort, as if the gears of the world were out of alignment.
―Giggles.
It rose up as if it were scratching Irexana’s and Leon’s spines.
―Squeak.
It was right after that.
The fusion body, which resembled a lump of rotten flesh, was sucked into the air, causing distortion of space around it.
Dimensional Gate (次元門).
On the other side of the distorted space, a landscape full of only specular images lingers. Both Leon and Irexana realized this. What kind of world exists beyond the border of that dimension gate?
Mirror Canyon!
There was a danger that one more exit from the magic world ‘Mirror Canyon’, which the Kingdom of Jugend was blocking, would be opened.
The frame of the dimension door has not yet been completed, and once it is fixed, an exit will appear that cannot be removed even with 9th level magic. As the cordon increased from one to two, the damage Jugend had to endure was sure to increase even further.
“…It’s dangerous.”
Irexana muttered as she clenched and unclenched her fists.
“Even if I use all the strength I have left, it’s not enough. “We need to solidify the ground to prevent the tunnel from collapsing, so I won’t be able to destroy it with my own strength.”
“Ah, Cardinal!”
Leon spoke urgently, pointing to one wall.
“There are still Articles 8 and 11 left behind here. “Wouldn’t it be possible if we pooled their strength?”
“I knew of their existence. However, even if they were all in perfect condition, it would be difficult, and if they were in the same condition as they are now, there would be no hope at all.”
“That can’t be possible…”
It was a desperate answer.
Does this mean that we have no choice but to stand by and watch the opening of that dimension gate?
Looking at Leon clenching his fists in his own helplessness, Irexana smiled a smile that did not suit the situation.
“Well, it’s not like there’s no way.”
“What is!”
When Leon turned to look at him, Irexana placed her palm on her subspace bracelet.
At the same time, a dazzling light erupted.
Pot!
And when the light subsided, Leon saw that Irexana was holding a longsword in her hand.
Treasured sword.
Even Leon, who had a poor eye for weapons, could tell. This is because the power of the forged blade of the sword body, starting from the center of gravity, was vividly felt as if cutting through the skin.
Irexana said with a smile, knowing that he was impressed.
“This is Jugendstil No. 111 ‘Brave’.”
“What if you say Brave…?”
“Yes, it is a sword for the warrior.”
It was a sword that was made to be used only by warriors and had been lying dormant in a treasure chest for hundreds of years so that it could be passed down to warriors.
“It is also the last work of my father, blacksmith Alecto, who was the Grand Meister of the previous generation.”
“The Cardinal’s father…”
Like Leon, El Cid was shaken by those words.
[Alecto? That stubborn pudgy guy?]
‘Do you know someone?’
[I’ve seen it a few times in my life. He promised that he would make a sword that I would approve of, but it looks like he somehow left behind one sword.]
It was an interesting story.
Although Leon was quite interested in the story, he ultimately pondered whether a warrior holding a holy sword would need a second sword.
The blacksmiths probably didn’t know that either.
Unable to keep Irexana waiting as she held out her sword hilt, he put aside his doubts and extended his left hand. Jugendstil No. 111 ‘Brave’ has welcomed its owner for the first time in hundreds of years.
It was that moment.
“Wow!?”
When he grasped the Brave’s handle, Leon was startled by the force that suddenly surged into his body.
The aura that had dried up to the point of depletion is now filling up.
The same was true for physical strength and mental strength.
Of course, if it had ended that way, Leon would never have been surprised.
[Khahahaha! Alecto! You crazy guy!]
Even El Cid shouted with a rare laugh.
[Even in my lifetime, I have never heard of anything like this! They made disposable swords, not arrows!]
That was right.
This treasured sword Jugendsteel No. 111 ‘Brave’ was a consumable item.
It stores enormous power just for one swing, and after swinging once, the sword body disappears.
There was no separate ‘Pasan Sword’ that appeared in Eastern mythology.
“Originally, I was planning to end this expedition and then talk calmly and hand it over, but…”
Irexana pointed to the portal with an embarrassed expression.
Leon guessed what that meant and laughed once.
‘Okay, let’s take a swing.’
[Because it is a sword that can only be swung once.]
With El Cid’s lame joke in his ear, Leon returned the Holy Sword to its scabbard and grabbed only the Brave.
Disposable sword.
A consumable item that can only be wielded once, but is powerful enough to blow away anything with one blow.
〈Seven-Star Sword〉 cannot be used.
Since it is a force that swirls outside the user’s body, there is a limit to just adjusting its direction. It was like a rein controlling the head of a storm.
Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
The sword body held at the top is burning with golden light.
sun.
An immeasurable level of output wriggled inside the sword, as if it were realizing the auror properties into reality.
‘It’s possible with this output. I can destroy that portal!’
Leon barely pulled out the power swirling in his hands and aimed it at the space distorting in front of his eyes.
Mirror Canyon.
A land in another dimension where humans cannot survive, where countless monsters like Kalraider exist. As soon as they are connected, they erode the world, so the land is called the Demon World.
“Ha!”
Feeling tremendous resistance, Leon pulled the hilt of his sword.
From the top of the head down to the waist.
Push it down vertically.
In the meantime, he intuitively realized something.
“ah.”
As soon as I learned the answer to why blacksmith Alecto made ‘Brave’ like this, the whole world was covered in bright light.
