Overpowered Sword Chapter 194

Level Up with Swords (194)

After the first night, Leon and the others gathered together again and shared the information they had gathered.

Leon first explained the information about ‘Winter Serpent’.

A monster summoned from another dimension.

It has the ability to absorb heat, expand its strength and size, and even mutate other races by parasitizing larvae.

Karen and Ellahan were as disgusted as Leon after hearing about the larvae, but they felt better when they were told there was no need to worry about being infected. Still, it was clear that drinking water had become a bit difficult.

“We should hurry.”

Ellahan muttered with a serious expression upon hearing that once transformed, he could not return to human form.

Karen also agreed and started talking.

I saw a person who looked like a member of an evil cult in the lord’s mansion, and even the existence of Auror Master Dayton, who was recruited by him, and even the full text of the conversation.

“It’s annoying to be a Spear Master who retired decades ago…”

“It’s a pity, but I guess I can’t do anything about it.”

The presence of the Auror Master became even more of a burden to the group, who were already having trouble with the .

Dayton’s full name is Dayton El Blanc.

He was the ancestral head of the Blanc family, famous as the best spearman in the empire, and was one of the generals who led the war of conquest of the Clyde Empire during its heyday. Since it happened more than 30 years ago, some people don’t know about it, but everyone who studied modern history knows the weight of that name.

You can’t ignore it just because it’s old.

Is it for no reason that the expression ‘old man’ is used?

Even if a lion loses all its teeth and claws, it is still a lion, and even in its old state, it can kill a hyena with one blow.

‘We have to defeat him for sure even if we fight him 3-on-1.’

Dayton has already pushed itself to the edge.

Borrowing the help of an evil cult was tantamount to a declaration that they would no longer resort to any means. It was a sad promise to save his son even if it meant becoming a hero to the continent.

If you clumsily sympathize with the opponent who hit Bae Su-jin, you will be caught off guard.

The three people knew the logic well.

“ah!”

Then Karen remembered something.

“Hero! Ella! “I got a great idea!”

“What?”

“What are you thinking?”

When the two people looked back with puzzled expressions, Karen said triumphantly, looking like she had been active for the first time in a long time.

“That person from Dayton is ultimately collaborating with the evil cult because of his son, right? Then, wouldn’t it be possible to attract him as an ally if we heal our son with Ella’s sacred law?”

“oh?”

It was a reasonable opinion.

Maybe Leon? When I looked back at Ellahan, she was lost in thought for a moment and then shook her head.

Then Karen said, ‘Why!’ He asked.

“There is no guarantee that I can cure that child.”

“huh? “She’s a saint.”

“Even though she is a saint, she is not omnipotent. The essential healing ability of the Holy Law is the same, and it does not become impossible even if you pour in your holy power. “If the cardinals can’t do it, I can’t do it either.”

Ellahan continued in a stern voice.

“If you are an Imperial Auror Master, it is worth coming directly to the Holy Church and requesting treatment. “I would have been able to borrow the help of the cardinals because I had the ability to pay the corresponding price.”

“…That means it couldn’t be fixed.”

“It means that it is a problem that cannot be solved with your holy laws.”

Although it was only a guess, Ellahan’s words did indeed make sense. Holy law was never all-powerful. Being born weak and suffering from illness cannot be done by holy law, and in the case of hereditary diseases, once they occur, even if they are barely treated, they are bound to reappear.

If Dayton’s son was like that, there was nothing Ellahan could do about it.

At those words, Leon turned to Karen and asked a question.

“It would be okay to look into it once, but would I have the time?”

“That takes a while. The guild has already almost withdrawn from the empire, so I have to run myself…”

“Because the problem of is more urgent.”

Dayton is a formidable opponent, but not an insurmountable obstacle.

I couldn’t gamble with tens of thousands of Ladoga’s residents to save him and his son. Even if there was a sad story, it was a high treason to become one with that evil cult.

The three ended the topic in silence.

“Oh, it’s my turn to talk.”

Finally, Ellahan spoke.

“I didn’t get as much meaningful information as you two did. “As I wandered around the slums and outskirts, I could only hear rumors related to the lakeside, the truth of which was unclear.”

“A rumor related to the lake?”

“yes.”

Some of the rumors Ellahan listened to were quite detailed.

I heard that drunk people fell into the lake and went missing.

It is said that anglers have not seen fish for several months.

They say boating, which was a tourist product of Ladoga, is nowhere to be seen.

The damage caused by , which had been suppressed by the lord, remained in the form of rumors. Information that could lower the value of a territory that cannot be officially recognized.

“sorry. I feel like I didn’t do a good job compared to the other two…”

“No, it was a big help.”

Leon answered.

“If the rumor is true, the ‘Winter Snake’ doesn’t just stay at the bottom of the lake, but moves when it sees prey. “It means that even the foreign magician cannot control him completely.”

“Can we lure you in?”

“But that doesn’t mean they’ll jump out of the lake. “It’s possible to come up close to the surface.”

So he thought.

It is a strategy that only Leon can carry out, as he can definitely attract the .

Leon, who pulled the two together, explained the outline.

Elahan and Karen, who had been listening quietly at first, looked mesmerized by the end of his explanation.

“…You want to feed me? To that monster?”

“…Are you really planning on taming it and making it a pet?”

“That is definitely true.”

Leon said, laughing at the expected reaction.

“I’m just trying to make a sheath on a loose leash.”

* * *

The snake was happy.

Unlike my hometown, where there were enemies everywhere and hundreds of rivals clinging to every little prey, this land was like heaven. There is only one predator, and there are so many prey that it is even more troublesome to choose!

The voice that kept making me move was annoying, but it was okay because they called me to a place where I could eat as much as I wanted.

Someday, he too will become food.

【…Shaaaak?】

That’s what I thought until now.

The snake’s eyes opened.

A golden bead that came down from the surface of the water. I even felt ecstatic over food I had not even tasted yet. The coiled body was easily unwound like a skein of thread, and as the bead could not bear to slowly come down, it even stuck out its long, thin tongue with all its might.

And for the first time in my life, I tasted a delicacy.

【Shaaaaaaa――!】

A body over 30 meters long is overflowing with joy.

The snake, which did not even know the concept of dance, made the water of the lake glide as it twisted and savored the taste that remained on its tongue.

Realized.

I realized it.

Compared to the food from before, everything I had eaten so far was nothing but trash. I only ate it once, but my body grew 3 meters longer and my strength increased, proving it.

【Sha! Shaaa! Shaa!]

One more thing.

No, just two more.

Just three more!

Just give it all you have!

With only primitive instincts left in my mind, I crave the first delicacy I have ever tasted. The snake waited eagerly and waited without even paying attention to the temptation of the trash that wandered around the house.

It was the next day.

【Shaaaaa! Shaa!】

The golden orb came down again.

It was a bit further away than yesterday, but it was close enough that I couldn’t even hear the ‘voice’ stopping me.

The snake enjoyed the delicacy without hesitation for a moment.

Also, my body became longer and stronger.

I felt the annoying ‘voice’ becoming weaker.

The snake’s tongue, accustomed to delicacies, no longer accepted garbage.

【Sha! Sha sha sha! Shaa!】

It is better to eat one delicacy than to eat a hundred pieces of garbage. The trash thrown by the ‘voice’ was worthless compared to the delicacies. The importance of ‘voice’ in the snake’s mind went down several levels.

A day has passed.

Another day has passed.

Several more days passed.

As the days passed, the golden bead fell in shallower water and closer to the surface. It was a blatant inducement that even a snake’s stupid mind would think something was strange.

But the snake didn’t think it was strange.

【Shaaaaaaa!】

Before I knew it, my body had grown to 50 meters tall and the overflowing power of the ‘voice’ had stopped me several times, but that was probably a good thing.

The taste and power that the delicacy brought were more important than that.

At some point, the snake was waiting.

When and where the golden bead delicacy comes down to the water.

【Sha?】

Why?

【Shaaa? Shaa?】

The time for the delicacies to arrive is getting further and further away.

The golden beads that used to come down once a day were now coming down once every three or four days. There were times when the snake hovered on the surface of the water and did not come down, so the snake waited until its mouth was full.

Now I can barely hear the ‘voice’.

There was nothing stopping the snake from going out.

【Shaaaaa――…】

When the delicacy did not arrive for a week, the snake finally lost patience and glared at the surface of the water.

The golden light fluttering beyond.

He continued to glare with his persistent gaze.

* * *

“Are you going to come up slowly?”

Leon, standing at the lakeside, stepped back and shook his hands.

Then, the concentrated power of the bead of light, “Sun Sword,” which had floated on the palm of my hand, shattered.

For the , which feeds on ‘heat’, this bead of light was truly the best bait. A crystal of taste that you cannot forget once you eat it and that makes you instinctively chase after it.

It’s been a lot of work for more than 15 days, so it’s probably time to see some results.

“You’re not going to eat it like this and run away, right?”

Karen, who was looking down at the water next to him, grunted.

“No, I don’t think so.”

Leon said with a grin.

“I bought live fish and released them into the lake the other day to check his psychological state?”

“however?”

“He didn’t die until today and is still alive. “He didn’t eat it.”

You can eat bread because you’re sick of cookies, but you can’t eat shit just because you’re sick of chocolate.

For , fish and drunkards were now reduced to the same level as poop. The person who drank the heat that Leon had concentrated with the sun sword was already in a state similar to a drug addiction.

There were a few times when the entire lake was shaken due to withdrawal symptoms and nervous movements.

The foreign magician’s manipulation will no longer work.

“…I think it will come up by tomorrow.”

Leon, who saw through the malice lurking beneath the surface, took a step back and looked back.

It was as planned.

Also seducing the with his Auror.

Using that food to stimulate the bastard.

therefore.

This is where the real problem started.

“How long are you going to just watch?”

Leon and Karen turned around almost simultaneously.

I knew it from the beginning.

This was because, unless it was a special case like Karen hiding in the shadows, Aura Masters could not be unaware of each other’s presence.

Dayton appeared and looked at the two with a confused expression.

“That’s great. “You have that kind of skill at that age… When I was your age, I was like the youngest member of the knights.”

Dayton’s eyes, which were looking at the two people back and forth, stopped on Karen.

“…It was you. “There was a trace of someone hiding in the mansion.”

“You got caught like this?”

“For every two masters, one is an Assassin Master. “Even in my prime, I would have been embarrassed to jump into this situation.”

Leon answered that question.

“You can step back now, Dayton El Blanc. Remain the foremost spear of the Clyde Empire.”

“There were plenty of opportunities for that, even if it wasn’t your words.”

The spear that shot out from behind Dayton’s back was sucked into his hand.

The action of a weapon that becomes one with the body.

The unity of the body and body.

He aimed at two martial artists who had been practicing martial arts for nearly a hundred years.

“Still, I didn’t reach out for that opportunity. I made my choice.”

He said he would save one son even if it meant sacrificing tens of thousands of innocent people.

Noh Ik-jang’s bright eyes lit up with determination.

“Now it’s your turn to choose.”

Leon didn’t answer.

Keying.

Instead of answering, he pulled out the sword from his waist.

Dayton just nodded once without saying anything.

That was enough.
