Overpowered Sword

Overpowered Sword Chapter 44

Leveling up with the sword (44)

was literally an instant.

El Cid moved Leon’s body into an unfamiliar posture and decapitated the cave giant in the very next moment.

Merak.

It is the name of the second star in the Big Dipper and corresponds to the second eclipse in the Seven Star Sword. A slash that releases the aura compressed to high density within the body at an incredible speed!

【Grrr?!】

The cave giant whose head was cut off with a single sword vomited blood foam.

Cesare’s durability, which was undeterred by Khan’s repeated attacks, could not withstand a single slash.

Black blood drips from the wound that does not regenerate due to the holy sword. ‘Chiek!’ The ground melting with the sound proved the toxicity and malice seeping into the blood.

And one beat later, the severed arms slipped away.

thud…! Kugung…!

Two thick arms were lying on the ground.

The cave giant was not unstoppable. Even though he blocked it reflexively, he was decapitated by that defense.

Astonishment and fear.

Leon’s eyes, filled with a different emotion than before, looked towards the sword held in his hand. Is it possible to unleash this level of destructive power on someone who is not even a sword master?

【Crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrva…!】

The infinitely boiling power subsides like the ebb. Because the cut side of the neck does not regenerate, it is not possible to even recite spells.

Still, the caveman desperately held on to his neck.

Although it could not regenerate, its vitality was amazing. Even though all the skin, muscles, bones, and nerves were cut off, it was still alive as long as the cross sections were attached.

“If your head is cut off, will you still be alive? “It sucks.”

El Cid borrowed Leon’s words and laughed at that.

“Or is that little thing what you wanted? Then, why don’t you throw away the foreign media and serve Dullahan? “They get around just fine without their heads.”

【Sigh…!】

The caveman must have been so feverish from the sharp insult that he vomited out blood and shouted with his eyes wide open.

Hold your head with both arms and make fists with the other two arms.

Yes.

Even with its head cut off, the caveman was still able to fight. By sinking its eight legs into the ground to minimize vibration, it was possible to at least destroy the enemy by swinging its tail and two arms.

The troglodyte, who was ready to die with the 〈City Devourer〉 engine at his back, glared at Leon.

“Oh, you have grit.”

El Cid scoffed at that determination and aimed his sword.

To be honest, he was overdoing it too. The plan was to end it with one blow, but perhaps because it used Leon’s body, its destructive power was lacking.

The trembling fingertips, knowingly or unknowingly, complain of their limitations.

It was almost a gamble whether or not I could survive the second blow.

‘El Cid.’

Nevertheless, Leon did not hesitate even an inch.

“OK.”

El Cid raised the holy sword above his head.

The upper body shows its intention right from its posture. Light rises from the vertically raised blade as if piercing the sky.

Cut it.

As your eyes let go of all distracting thoughts, they become transparent like glass beads, and the world you see changes. Eyes that can see through the waves of atmospheric flow and vibration and even the distortion of space.

Leon, who temporarily shared the view, realized something. This scene is said to be one of the final destinations that can be reached with .

Dubhe,

the celestial eclipse,

could not be seen this time either.

‘What the hell!?’

Leon was able to perceive that moment longer than anyone else, but he could not understand how his body moved, let alone the principles of the sword.

A speed that goes beyond even a moment.

The moment you thought you were going to cut it, it was already done. The concept of swordsmanship that I knew until now is collapsing. Only the pain of the muscles and bones creaking from the recoil was clearly engraved.

[Krahiahiah -!]

This time, a bloody hemorrhage was struggling.

From that cross section, black blood splatters, and the power of the external method remaining within the body pours out.

A cloud of smoke as black and sticky as tar!

It was the culmination of the bad karma the evangelist had accumulated over the years. A crime that insults the lives of tens of thousands of people. There are overflowing sins that cannot be atoned for by any act.

Inside the cavernous creature that had been cut in two by the holy sword, the bloody preacher screamed.

【die! die! Everyone die! You, too, with me-】

Immense power gathers in one place.

It’s like gunpowder about to explode.

A vicious self-destruction that even made its own soul part of it! Not only will it widen the dimensional gap opened by , but it will also cause an explosion that can blow up this labyrinth.

If that happens, it’s all over.

“I knew it would be like this.”

El Cid took a nose-to-tail stance with a wry smile.

“So I relaxed a little. “To blow it away more clearly.”

The true meaning of the Seven Star Sword is revealed in its linkage.

Two more than one, three more than two.

As an inexperienced Leon, he may not be able to handle any of them well, but if he transfers that repulsion to the holy sword, it can be a one-time special move.

Vertical and horizontal cuts intersected. A great

cross-

shaped slash from Dube to Merak with

the Seven Star Sword and Five Swords ! The dazzling starlight

of the Polar Cross

swept all around.

Only Leon could see it.

king!

The light emitted from El Cid’s swordplay split the smoke cloud in half and even split the essence of life beyond it. Starlight did not just cut through matter.

All the evil karma spewed out by the preacher and even the gap in the dimension that was widened by ‘Swallowing the City’ were cut down.

【…Nonsense.】

The cave giant’s body, split into four parts, leans backwards. The guy who failed until the last struggle could not move any further.

Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Hhu Hhu huh huh….

The dimensional gap that stretched behind his back sucked him in.

It was truly a comical ending.

To die by being sucked into a crack that you opened?

The preacher also laughed as if he had lost his mind –

“Ah.”

At that time, Leon and El Cid saw.

Something that appeared behind the preacher’s back opened its huge mouth and swallowed the person who was being sucked into the dimensional gap.

It was just a moment.

Because the dimensional gap closed at the same time.

“…is that it?”

[Yes.]

El Cid said, who had already returned to his sword.

A being devouring a city passed by along with the monster fishing rod that was intended to be summoned in .

A few seconds later and he would have been dead.

Leon broke into a cold sweat after understanding that fact.

“It was close.”

Only then did Leon lower his sword and sit down on the ground.

If it goes beyond this point, it won’t move even if you kill it.

My knees are shaking and my fingers don’t move a single joint. This is the first time I’ve been this exhausted.

Cesare and his companions caught up with him late.

“Brother!”

Cesare, who arrived before anyone else, supported him.

“Bishop.”

“You don’t have to say anything. “For a moment…”

He looked at every part of Leon’s body and breathed a sigh of relief.

“There are mild cramps and congestion, but there are no major injuries. “I am truly fortunate.”

Karen then stuck her head out and chirped.

“Junior, we won, right? When I saw it from a distance, it seemed like it flashed and then disappeared. “Did your junior knock you down?”

“that’s right! Also, what happened to it, whether it was a ritual or something? “I don’t know anything, so please explain!”

Khan also joined Karen in talking.

As if the blood flowing from his side was okay, he was wiping the blood off his fists.

Leon, whose consciousness was becoming increasingly blurred, briefly explained.

“Swallowing the City” has stopped.

It is said that the preacher was eaten by the ritual and is certain to be dead.

‘ah.’

Immediately after that, Leon sensed his own limitations and asked Cesare for a favor.

“Bishop, I feel like I’m about to faint, so could you please take me there?”

“yes?”

“Please…”

Before he could finish his sentence, he fell limp.

El Cid, seeing that face, giggled.

[Good job, child.]

The fact that you were able to come to your senses until now was amazing. If it were a normal person, he would have passed out the moment he first used the Five Ointments.

The repulsive force of the Seven Star Sword was that great.

Not once, but three times.

By the end, I had even used the five swords, so it would be difficult to swing the sword for a while. Even if he had gone a little further, there was a high possibility that he would have become a real wreck.

Kugugugugugung…!

And the collapse of the labyrinth created through external methods began.

The three were confused for a moment, but then they picked up Leon and started running as fast as they could.

Of course, I didn’t know where the exit was.

Since it was not a space that was common sense, the escape was also like that. While the intrusion team was escaping, they were joined by Conrad, who was left alone, and were somehow able to get out.

It was the end of the war to subdue evil.

* * *

[Whoa, wasn’t it a bit too dangerous this time?]

As Cesare, carrying Leon, ran out of the labyrinth, El Cid, who was watching, let out a long sigh.

This is because, in many ways, the situation continued to go beyond what was expected.

Without even being able to classify an Auror yet, he encountered ‘evil’ and discovered a plot to devour a city. It was not a situation where I could turn my back on the excuse of inexperience.

It was a shame that they had attracted powerful people like Cesare and Khan, otherwise there would have been no way to win.

[…If you were watching, you could help me. You were just playing around because you had nothing to do anyway, right?]

[――――――.]

[What?]

El Cid answered in a tone that seemed absurd.

[No, you poor bitch. What will the saint do when the hero dies? Shouldn’t the hero be the top priority?]

The other person seemed to have nothing to say in response to that point, so he remained silent.

[Well, somehow, the crisis has been overcome. Sudden crises are actually a common occurrence for warriors. I haven’t felt any walls lately, so it must have been a good lesson.]

You shouldn’t just grow smoothly.

You can become truly strong only when you face a powerful enemy, tremble in fear, and shed blood and tears when faced with adversity.

Who did that?

‘The pain that doesn’t kill me makes me stronger.’

El Cid also completely agreed with that statement.

[―――――.]

At that time, El Cid, who had been listening to the empty space, spoke.

[…is it. Well, I can’t help it. [Because it was a shortcut that could be used because the seal had not yet been broken.]

The Holy Sword came down to earth a year earlier than the oracle.

So in return, most of his power was sealed away, and his limits were limited to giving Leon a few words of advice or emitting a light of purification.

But El Cid took advantage of a gap in the rule.

Seal is limitation and restraint. Although almost all functions are tied together, the causality restrictions are also weakened. To the point where it becomes possible, even for a moment, to control the hero’s body like before.

[One month.]

However, the power of causality was not easy.

In its own way, sanctions were imposed on the expedients used by El Cid. His consciousness will not rise to the surface for another month or so. I already felt frustrated thinking about leaving Leon, who was still immature, alone.

[What happened? It will take care of itself.]

El Cid just believed.

The strength and perseverance that Leon has shown so far. Even if you are not by my side, my steps along that path will not be disturbed.

[If you just keep training, you will quickly achieve B rank… Since I showed you the Seven Star Sword, I think I will learn at least two… Before I leave for the Titan Mountains, I need to be able to at least take care of myself…]

Even though I muttered incessantly, my consciousness gradually sank.

Is this stagnation really a penalty?

El Cid was satisfied with that and closed his eyes. A ritual space that exists inside the Holy Sword. A place that is only allowed to heroes that Leon cannot yet visit.

He fell asleep for a while, promising to meet again in a month.
