Overpowered Sword

Overpowered Sword Chapter 205

Level up with a sword (205)

The status of Grania, the former Mage Tower lord of the Clyde Empire, was great in many ways.

The era of war.

He was a great man who played a significant role in pushing out the border of the Clyde along with Dayton El Blanc, one of the vanguards of the empire that raised infamy throughout the continent as a conqueror.

Not only did he reach the 7th rank at a young age of early 40s, he also put a lot of effort into nurturing his students and even raised them to become the next Magic Tower Master.

It’s a shame because Grania had no interest in factions or power struggles, but if he had made up his mind to intervene in politics, it might have been possible to receive the commission.

The Marquis of Portroy, the lord of the gateway city of Portroy, was also well aware of this fact.

“…All right. We will take measures to ensure that no one can set foot in the tower owner’s residence until tomorrow.”

“Thank you, Marquis.”

“It was nothing. “It is an honor enough to have the hero who led the golden age of the empire standing before me.”

After politely greeting the Marquis of Portroy, he turned his back and soon after, the sound of footsteps walking away and the sound of a heavy door closing were heard.

Only after that did Grania relax her solemn expression, look at the door across from her, and speak.

“I don’t mind coming out now.”

Then Leon and his group walked out with awkward expressions.

Marquis of Portroy.

Seeing how even a great nobleman treated him with such respect made the old man in front of him seem even more amazing. The only person who didn’t care about that was Adela.

“Fuck the golden age! “Are you so shameless that you can cover up that shitty history of invasion like that?”

“What winners remember and what losers remember are very different.”

“You make a good point about the invasion without a declaration of war as it was reported that several tribute items were missing.”

As Adela continued to fire, Grania responded by raising her hands as if she had lost.

“The empire at that time was too strong. “More than 20% of the nation’s power was consumed by disputes between nobles, so it was clear that if it was left as is, it would be a waste of money.”

“So you looked beyond the border?”

“Well, there is no excuse for being an aggressor. “If they come at us in retaliation for that war, we have no choice but to keep our mouths shut and fight back.”

It is more difficult to curse when the other person readily acknowledges it.

When Adela snorted and fell back, Leon stepped forward and started talking about something else.

That was the reason Leon and the others came here.

“Grania, where is your disciple?”

“…Follow me.”

Grania got up from her chair, walked a few steps ahead, and soon stopped in front of the burning fireplace.

Next, his fingers drew irregular circles in the air.

Kugugugugugugung…!

Immediately after that, the flames in the fireplace split to the left and right, and the entrance, which was too narrow for even a single person to pass through, widened, revealing a hidden passage.

The four people followed Grania and entered the secret passage.

As it was a place managed directly by the Archmage, the conditions inside were neither too humid nor too dry, just the right amount.

The area was also considerable.

There were one or two areas that did not match the area measured by eye, as if they had expanded it using space magic.

[It smells rotten.]

El Cid muttered.

Leon also nodded as if he agreed with those words. To the naked eye, it was just a secret space, but the scenery reflected in the ‘Stigmata of the Watcher’ was disgusting.

The power that overflowed from the Foreign Law polluted the area and would have even attacked Portroy if it had not been sealed with magic.

Ellahan, who was sensitive to extradimensional power, was also frowning.

“This is the room.”

Leon looked at the closed door where Grania stopped and drew his sword. The power coming from beyond the door was so strong that I couldn’t feel anything if I just stood there.

Holy sword El Cid.

As soon as the sword body was revealed, a brilliant light erupted and violently pushed away the pollution in the area.

Grania saw that and said with an expression of admiration.

“Supreme light…! Is that the holy sword that the goddess herself gave to this land?”

“I am indebted to you.”

Without hesitating any longer, Leon struck down the holy sword.

Because I was reluctant to even hold the doorknob, I broke the door in two with the magic circle that had already become meaningless.

The door cracked and fell backwards.

It was that moment.

“Ugh!”

The dark energy stretched out like a poisonous snake, and Leon reflexively struck the tip.

It’s heavy.

However, the ‘Foreword’ that touched the holy sword lost its form and retreated while making an incomprehensible scream. Is it intelligent or does it act instinctively?

The “Outer Law” in the shape of a snake returned to the body of the man lying in the middle of the bed.

“Edgar!”

Grania was very embarrassed and stretched out her hand.

It was an attempt to bring him out somehow, but it was too late. At a speed that even Leon could barely react to at close range, it was impossible for the wizard to catch it.

Instead, Ellahan took two steps forward.

“Please step back. From here, it’s the hero’s and my turn.”

“…Please do me a favor. “Please save my student.”

The Archmage of the Twilight Age even put down his pride and said that he was so helpless despite having crossed the threshold of the 8th rank.

Ask me to save your disciple.

Please save his successor.

Ellahan smiled slightly at that begging.

“I don’t even have anything to ask for. “Because it’s the right thing to do.”

Adela shrugged her shoulders as she walked up next to her.

“I can’t help it. “It doesn’t make sense to pass on your karma to your disciple.”

“Adella….”

“It’s been a long time since you called me by your first name?”

Cardinals, saints, and even warriors.

There was no way there could be a more powerful person than this in dealing with ‘Outer Law’. The three people surrounded the bed where Edgar was tied up from three sides, preparing for any unexpected situation.

And Ellahan went first.

She was the only person in the world who could peel off the other-dimensional power that was concentrated to the point where it was visible to the naked eye without harming the host.

“Goddess who looks down upon the earth with light-”

As he prayed with his hands together as if they were joined together, a beautiful sunlight flowed around Ellahan’s body, illuminating the room.

At the same time, the darkness surrounding Edgar’s body stirred.

Like a person flinching when touched by something hot.

The one coiled in the shape of a snake tried to hold on somehow, but each time Ellahan recited a phrase, the light became more intense, and even its skin began to peel off one by one.

As dozens of more minutes passed, the darkness surrounding Edgar’s body clearly highlighted his image.

[It is now. Use me.]

El Cid said.

It’s not that it wasn’t, it was just as he said.

The “Foreign Law” that had captivated Edgar was vicious in its structure, and the darkness that stretched out in the shape of a snake had taken root all the way to his soul.

Like a chain with not one, but several twisted branches.

It is the same as the ‘Gordian knot’ that appeared in the old king’s story. It’s difficult to break it off with dexterity, but it’s easy to break it off with a single strike.

“Ha!”

Leon, who activated only the ‘light’ of the ‘Sun Sword’, lowered his sword.

The darkness touched by the blade was crushed like rotten straw and torn apart without being able to withstand even a moment.

■■■■■■―!

An unintelligible scream rings out.

Every time it struggled, Edgar’s body jumped, but it was Grania’s magic that sealed it off.

Even if your muscles rupture and your bones break, you don’t let go.

It was a wound that could be healed as long as it didn’t stop breathing.

“Ellahan!”

“yes!”

With the holy sword’s blow, the bastard lost more than half of his binding power.

Ellahan, who was unable to exert all his strength for fear of burning his soul, poured out all the remaining light. The snake of the dazzlingly swirling sacred light of ‘Foreign Law’ finally escaped the light.

‘Quick!’

Leon’s one miscalculation was that the snake was indeed frighteningly fast.

A snake that captures the soul.

In that case, its essence lies not in matter but in the realm of the soul, and it exhibits permanence that is not caught up in the laws of physics. The snake, gliding through space like lightning, escaped. Passing by Leon and Ellahan, towards the door behind Adela’s back –

“You can go in as you please, but it is not the time to go out.”

But there was a hand blocking his way.

A hand with enough force to crush a small space. Adela smiled grimly as she grabbed the snake’s body.

Adela from 〈Maengjin〉.

There were two meanings behind that nickname.

Moving forward without hesitation and.

“I’m sorry, but reading career paths is my specialty.”

The snake struggled desperately, but as Adela’s grip increased, it began to make a crackling sound.

A soul without a physical entity was being crushed.

Although she could not be compared to Ellahan, she also possessed divine power that was fatal to beings outside the cardinal dimension. Adela enjoyed the taste and whispered to the ‘snake’.

To be exact, the person who planted that snake on Edgar.

“Even if it is a foreign law, if it is a type of curse, the principle is the same. If the intention is not achieved, does the rebound return to the caster? “With a technique like this, the damage would be significant.”

She whispered in a voice that no one could hear.

“Don’t think it will end like that, trash. “I’m going to kill you right away.”

and.

There was a cracking sound.

The snake crushed into space disappeared in Adela’s grasp. For a method that neutralized a 7th rank archmage, it was a vain end.

Ellahan looked at Edgar once again and said.

“…It’s done. Although my mind and body are greatly weakened, there is no longer any sign of the external law in my body.”

“Oh oh oh…!”

Grania approached the bed with an emotional expression on her face.

Although this happened only a few months ago, it was like seeing a face for the first time in years. When it was wrapped in darkness, it was difficult to approach, so even moving it to the bed had no choice but to use magic.

The old man sitting down next to the bed held the hand of his scrawny disciple.

Did you feel that touch?

“…Master?”

Edgar, who had been in a coma, slowly opened his eyes.

His eyes were cloudy, perhaps because his mind was still not fully intact, but his focus was clear.

Grania answered while nodding several times.

“Yes, it is me. You idiot. Do you know what happened?”

“…It was a nuisance.”

“You idiot!”

Grania, whose eyes were red, harshly urged him.

“I can’t believe you don’t believe in yourself even after taking over my position! How many times have I not said this before? You are a genius who can surpass me! “Did this teacher’s words sound so ridiculous!”

“no.”

“It’s the last time. This really is the last one! Don’t let me blame you again. Do you understand? huh?”

“…Yes, Master.”

Adela, who was watching the two people’s relationship, stuck out her tongue.

“If anyone sees me, they will think that I secretly gave birth to a son. “I didn’t know I’d see that old man squeezing.”

“Cardinal!”

When Elahan glared at her, pointing out her harsh tone, Adela remained silent without saying anything more.

Karen spoke in her place.

Since it wasn’t his turn to come out this time, he looked a little upset.

“Sir, I have one question.”

“hmm? What?”

“Didn’t the Cardinal say that snake-like foreign law is a curse? “Then won’t we know right away that the curse has been lifted?”

“…I guess so.”

Leon blinked his eyes as he understood what I meant.

Curses are significantly different from ordinary magic or witchcraft.

Since it is executed with the sole purpose of causing harm to a specific target, if it fails, the rebound returns to the caster and not to anyone else. So I have no choice but to know.

There is someone who destroyed the curse.

“this.”

A beat later, Leon understood what it meant.

The “Foreign Law” that was hanging over Edgar was very powerful. If I were to classify it magically, it would be somewhere between 7th and 8th rank.

If the condition for disarming without harming the host is the divine power of five cardinals, the number of cases in which it can be disarmed is reduced.

This meant that it was possible to specify ‘who unlocked it’.

[But since I couldn’t leave it alone, I was caught in a double trap. The numbers are dirty?]

It was just as El Cid said.

The evil church must have realized this now.

I don’t know about the existence of the warrior Leon, but I know that Saint Ellahan is in Portroy. There was no way five cardinals could have infiltrated this far, so it was a natural conclusion.

In return for the cooperation of the Grand Wizard Grania, its existence was exposed. Whether that was a benefit or a loss was not yet known.
