Overpowered Sword Chapter 265

Level up with the sword (265)

Guardian Knight.

Generally, the position is in charge of an object of status such as a high-ranking noble or royal family, and the screening is very strict because the guardian knight’s skills and reputation are directly related to the honor of the guard.

No matter how good your martial arts skills were, if your etiquette was slightly poor, bad rumors were spread, or your appearance was below standard, you had no choice but to be eliminated.

Even in human society, guardian knights are that picky, so what are the standards of the dragon race?

If your skills don’t even reach master level, you could say that you don’t even deserve to be evaluated by them.

“Su Guardian Knight? I am?”

Karen’s voice trembled without realizing it. No, it was a situation where I had no choice but to tremble. Guardian Knight of the Dragon was not a title worthy of being given to a mixed-race child who made a living by assassinating in the slums.

Albion smiled when he saw the reaction.

“It is true. “I liked both the skill that destroyed my masterpiece and the disparate talent.”

Considering the characteristics of the Dragon race, which is famous for being harsh in the evaluation of other races, this evaluation was indeed close to high praise.

Before leaving for the upper heavens, the dragons of the old era often treated both dwarves and elves as their own workers. Most of the rares were made by dwarves, and most of the environment management in the area was done by elves.

Despite their sincere service, all they received in return was a few words of praise, and they rarely appointed someone of their own race as a guardian knight.

“Just because you are a guardian knight, there is no need to stay around this body. Save the world with the warrior. After that, if you have time left, I will be satisfied with you coming to me with your offerings and stories.”

Albion said as he held out the tip of his index finger to Karen, who didn’t know what to do in front of him.

“Is it possible that this body lost its wings and horns and is no longer fit? “Then, are you willing to show your interest a little?”

Karen was startled by those words and waved her hands.

“It can’t be! “Albion, you are strong, beautiful, and… well, you are really cool!”

“It’s a bit too dignified for a compliment, but it doesn’t feel too bad.”

While the two were talking like that, William, who had not yet understood the situation, suddenly intervened.

“Coordinator, do you really intend to appoint that child as your guardian knight?”

“Did it sound like a lie?”

“no. “I was just wondering how appointing a guardian knight and solving that child’s problems are connected…”

“Hmm.”

Albion gathered his thoughts for a moment and opened his mouth.

“The reason this child cannot use elemental magic is because he is treated as a foreign object in the natural world. “I was planning on covering it with my blood to erase the sense of discomfort the spirits felt.”

The elves were also a race close to the laws of nature, but compared to the dragons, there was no significant difference between them and humans.

It’s not for nothing that dragons don’t use elemental magic.

The dragon race, a transcendent species whose existence is based on natural law, was higher than spirits in its very existence. Like the elves, you didn’t have to please them or build friendships with them; you could just give them orders.

“It is said that even in the old days, the guardian knights of our race, the Dragon Knights, could command spirits regardless of their race. “I have never created a guardian knight before, but since I haven’t completely lost my status as a dragon, it wouldn’t be impossible.”

In reality, it was just as he said.

Those called Dragon Knights or Dragon Knights all became more powerful than before because they received the blood of the Dragon race and achieved great achievements in elemental arts and magic.

Depending on the amount of blood, the dragon’s lifespan increases several times, and the dragon’s hatchling, who becomes a guardian knight, often takes on the role of babysitter until it becomes an adult.

You can’t hope to get there with just one drop, though.

“I will leave it up to your choice, child. “Act as your heart desires.”

“…I am.”

As if responding to Albion’s words, Karen took a step forward.

“I want to help the hero.”

“Is that so?”

“I want to return the favor to Leon for getting me out of the gutter.”

“Is that so?”

“Though I think so, I don’t know if it’s okay for filth like me to be next to that person who shines like the sun. “My hands are stained with the blood of innocent people, and I don’t want to shamelessly let them go.”

At first, it was a choice to wash away my past and escape from a damp, rotting life.

For a girl who grew up without parents in the back alleys of a slum and was raised to be an assassin, selfishness was a natural trait.

But since when?

That snobbish mind loosened and I stopped thinking of people as scarecrows. The color that had been lost in a dull life returned, and the guilt buried in one corner of my heart was dug out.

“Albion.”

Karen ultimately had no choice but to be selfish.

Even though he struggles under the weight of the sins he has accumulated, he cannot pass up the opportunity that is right in front of him and reaches out.

How shameless this behavior is.

Even though she knew that, she carefully held Albion’s hand.

“-i look forward to.”

As Karen put that finger in her mouth, Albion stroked her hair with a rare kind expression.

“The more intense the light, the darker the shadow, and no matter how hard you try to let go of the unpleasant past, it sticks to you like a leech in a swamp. “If you do not ignore your karma and face it, the day will come when you will settle it.”

Blood is nothing more than a medium.

What little remained in Albion’s body as a dragon broke off and flowed into Karen’s body.

This moment is the most important process in the birth of a dragon knight.

gulp.

A drop of blood flows down Karen’s throat and spreads throughout her body through the pulsation of her heart.

It was right after that.

Hua Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Suddenly, a whitish vapor flowed out from the pores of Karen’s body, turning her heated brown skin bright red.

Dragon Blood.

It is by far the highest ranked magic material, and the blood bestowed directly by the dragon contains its essence. Even if you take just one drop, it will improve your constitution like other elixirs.

Karen, who felt the heat swirling within her body, immediately sat down, closed her eyes as if meditating, and focused on the flow of power.

It was an opportunity that might come once in a lifetime.

“…Cheer up, sister.”

Ellahan muttered quietly so as not to disturb his concentration.

“Saint, we will continue.”

Karen’s becoming a guardian knight may have stimulated William’s desire to become a warrior, so he took Ellahan with him and moved to a distant place.

There was still a lot of knowledge to teach her.

William said.

“Do you know about ‘Yeokcheon’?”

“That…was clearly one of the Demon King’s unique abilities that neutralizes power based on natural law, right?”

“Accurate.”

He nodded once and explained further.

“Pure physical attacks cannot be used in , and magic below the 8th level is fundamentally nullified. A high-level holy method can reduce that resistance, but it is only a temporary effect. 〈Auror Blade〉 also only has 10% of its power.”

That is why the only beings who can defeat the Demon King are warriors.

Even if you gather a three-digit number of master-level strongmen, you will not be able to break through the , so you will end up unilaterally annihilated.

Roderick was able to beat up the Demon King without the Holy Sword, but that case was an exception. What common sense can be applied to a monster that can blow away a mountain range with a single slash of a knife?

“However, in order to make up for the disgraceful actions of 300 years ago, the Holy Church has been studying the method of destruction of in preparation for the devil who may appear again someday.”

Being saved by one Rodrik was both a pride and a shame for them. If I were saved by a strange genius who only appears twice in human history, it would mean that there would not be a next time.

Just as the first saint raised her successors to be strong.

The leaders of the Holy Church have continued to delve into their deep business.

William was one of those people who could pass down their own achievements and teach them through theory.

“〈Yeokcheon〉 is a denial born of natural law, and the compatibility relationship according to the logic even reduces the effect of the holy law by half.”

But William changed his words and grinned.

“What if there was a holy law that opposed negativity itself?”

The latest sex method created through 300 years of research.

Ellahan had to master it before Leon’s training ended.

* * *

Keying!

Heads fall from several corpses with a sharp sound.

It wasn’t even emitting an aura, but the energy emanating from the blade cut into a body that was harder than steel. I might have been caught in the path of a slashing attack, as if I had been hit by a sword wind!

It was the power of the sword.

As Leon increased his skill level, he realized more and more.

For example,

“El Cid. “The reason I told you not to use the technique that emits auras was because there was no need to use it, right?”

El Cid giggled in the affirmative.

[Yes, you foolish disciple. Have you finally realized it?]

“And the way you talk.”

Leon grumbled at that, but did not refute it.

Because I gained enlightenment through my own efforts, I felt a much greater sense of accomplishment than if I had simply followed the teachings.

If you literally interpret swordsmanship, it is the domain of the sword, but the name does not just refer to the range. Only by being able to use the domain itself like a sword was it like breaking the foundation of sword power.

Leon, who had chopped down every last one, opened his mouth.

“Rodelin.”

“Yes Master. No reaction from hostile entities within a radius of 1.5 kilometers. The fog’s magic inhibition is getting stronger. From the next section, the range of detection magic will be reduced to less than 1 kilometer.”

“How long have we been inside the demonic realm?”

“If I were to calculate the distance from the beginning, I would have gone straight for more than 15 kilometers. “It is estimated that there are about 45 kilometers remaining to the center of ‘Famous Valley.’”

Leon muttered something like a quarter and raised his sword.

‘Perhaps because of the fog, the Guardian’s stigmata are not functioning properly. So, my recovery has dropped to less than half of what it normally is, but I still have plenty of energy since I mainly use up my stamina.’

Since I did not use the or the , my Aurors were not as strong and my recovery speed was faster. It was also a part that showed the extent to which he normally used Aurors.

In normal space, the recovery speed was so fast that there was no need to worry about depletion, but in special environments such as the four major demonic powers, its efficiency had to be calculated.

There is no guarantee that this will not be the case even during the battle with Vritra.

‘You should always assume the worst case and prepare for it.’

What if it uses technology that erodes the surrounding environment?

What if his stigmata were neutralized through the Fall?

What if you have a strong tolerance or immunity to heat and light?

In any case, I had to stretch my hand to be able to deal with it and tense my body so that it could react.

[Hmm.]

That was then.

El Cid said as he peered through the fog.

[It might be a bit dangerous from here on. The release of aurors is up to you. If you can afford it, keep blocking it, if not, use it. Because it would be worse than dying while training.]

“Is it that dangerous?”

[The guys you dealt with just a moment ago are nothing more than the literal remnants of the monsters of this world who have been polluted by the environment of another dimension. Those who crawl out from here on will be those who are closer to death, on the border between life and death.]

Beings that are neither alive nor dead, and those that are alive even though they are dead.

It was as clear as fire which one was more threatening.

Unlike the undead created with black magic, the undead in ‘Famous Songs’ live and move according to the laws of the outer dimension beyond. You can destroy it with a holy sword, but you cannot eradicate it with a holy law. It was because it was a space closer to the laws on that side than on this side.

“let’s go.”

“Yes Master.”

Nevertheless, Leon moved forward without hesitation.

If you stop at this level, it is impossible to even challenge Vritra, let alone defeat her. His archenemy was the worst dragon of all time, one whose odds of victory could not be said to be high even if he reached the level of grandmaster.

The undead baboon couldn’t have been more frightening than that.

Roll, roll…

How much further could we have progressed from that?

Beyond the fog, where the visibility was less than 30 meters, a sound like boiling murky molten metal was heard.

It wasn’t a sound that would come out of a living creature’s throat.

“…I think I saw this when I was a kid.”

Three pairs of eye lights flashing purple in the fog looked down at him with horrifying murderous intent.

It is a monster that is also recorded in the heroic stories of old times.

To measure risk, at least SS rank or higher.

A watchdog of the famous with three heads and a flaming tail.

El Cid, seeing him, shouted excitedly.

[Cerberus! It’s luxurious from the start!]

Now that it’s off the list, it may not be able to show its full power, but it’s not a monster that can be challenged by mere humans.

It was raised as a watchdog by the gods who were involved in the afterlife, and within its domain it was a being that reached the level of a demi-god. A divine beast that cannot be controlled by one or two masters even when it is out of bounds.

In front of him, Leon raised his sword and waved his red cloak.

“Take a big retreat to the rear of Rodelin. “Don’t get caught up.”

“All right. … master.”

“huh?”

Rodelin made eye contact with him from the corner of her eye, bowed her head once and said.

“Please, good luck.”

“…okay!”

Although surprised by the unexpected encouragement, Leon smiled and looked ahead.

A hero is one who lives up to the expectations given to him by others.

Even if that expectation came from a golem.

“I kept you waiting. Now, shall we begin?”

Leon’s eyes, facing the three pairs of eyes, sparkled with brilliant golden light as if they were facing the light.

The fog becomes more transparent.

Cerberus and the warrior.

The two beings move their eyes up and down once, as if sizing each other up, and

gooooooooo——!!

“Haaaaaaaab—!”

Without worrying about who would go first, they rushed straight ahead.
