Overpowered Sword

Overpowered Sword Chapter 51

Level up with sword (51)

Dagger.

This little blade looks pretty weak. There are times when even if you plunge every inch of the blade into the body, it does not cause a fatal wound, and no matter how deep the cut, the blade is too short to cut off a limb.

It is disadvantageous in many ways compared to a long sword that pierces multiple enemies and still retains its length even when cutting off the waist.

Therefore, dagger users often apply poison to the blade or make a surprise attack at close range that can reverse the gap between superiority and inferiority. The reality was that the majority of occupations that used daggers as their main weapon had no choice but to become assassins or rangers.

A cold weapon not suitable for head-on confrontation. That was a cold and accurate evaluation of the dagger.

It lacks power.

There is not enough space.

In situations where there is no poison or surprise attack, the dagger loses most of its power. This is why adventurer mercenaries do not treat daggers as anything more than secondary weapons.

but.

Kakakakakang!

The blade bounces off after hitting it five times in an instant.

There is not even a moment to breathe. Leon tightened his numb grip and twisted the hilt of his sword. The difference in attack speed is more than three times. Even a brief delay makes it difficult for the next attack to catch up.

Contrary to common sense, single-hit killing in dagger techniques is rare. The rule was to quickly repeat shallow attacks to wear down the opponent’s body and exhaust their combat power before striking the final blow.

Just like Karen is showing right now.

‘Quick!’

Leon’s eyes move up and down and left and right. Even in a world slowed down by , it is difficult to see.

He also studied at the academy.

When competing in martial arts excluding Aurors, the spear is said to be three times stronger than the sword. The gap in the gap is absolute, and even if the gap in capabilities is significant, it is not easy to narrow the gap.

Above all, the gap between the sword and the dagger was even greater. According to common sense, it should be difficult for Karen to approach him.

“Why are you so good at blocking it?”

But Karen never once let go of the initiative.

Holding two daggers, one in each hand, she lowered her body and grinned. Leon knew very well how terrifying an attack could come out of those slender fingers.

‘Is this the level of mastery (advanced)?…’

El Cid said.

Up to intermediate level, you are nothing more than an ordinary skilled person, and from advanced level onwards, it is said that it is the realm of true experts. A world of skill that transcends common sense, where one can use weapons more skillfully than one’s own body.

Her dagger skills had reached that level.

By using its short length to rotate the dagger in the hand, it goes beyond the limits of not only its trajectory but also its power.

“From now on, are you going to increase the tempo by two?”

Karen, who said that, said ‘Pot!’ And disappeared.

That’s an absurd speed. That speed was a more dangerous factor than dagger technique. Even with Leon’s eyes, he can only see a faint afterimage.

“―Because the hero’s eyes are a bit foul.”

It is impossible to trace the location by the voice you hear.

This is something she herself taught me. One of the assassin’s secret arts is to distort sound. When I turned my head at the whisper I heard from behind, I was able to catch the gap.

That’s why Leon narrowed his eyes.

Don’t rely on sight. While dealing with Karen’s , went a step further, but perhaps because of that, she pointed out the tactic of relying on sight. It was from then on that I started aiming for the blind spot like I do now.

‘You must know how to use Aura Sense properly.’

An invisible energy flowed around Leon’s body.

An aura of density that is even faint. After the five senses we are born with, the sixth sense opens our eyes.

It felt like I was scanning a radius of several meters like the palm of my hand.

Still, it’s a bit lacking.

Karen’s aura was as rare as her ghost-like presence. Even when I’m extremely focused, I’m not sure if I can feel it or not.

“Whoa…”

Take a natural deep breath and relax your whole body.

I channel my will into the aura leaking out of my body, making my senses clearer. It’s the same trick Karen taught me. Just like dealing with blood vessels extending outside the body, the flow of aura starting from him forms a skin-like membrane.

Radius 1 meter.

This was the Aura Sense’s boundary range for dealing with Karen. Anything beyond this is of little significance as the accuracy drops significantly.

‘Where are you?’

Many stimuli pass by my sharpened senses.

The change in wind direction, the smell of bread wafting in from somewhere, the shaking of the ground that Karen passed by…

It was a time that made each second feel like a minute.

Concentrate.

I was just concentrating without thinking about anything.

Kaaaang!

I accepted it.

“Oh, I got caught.”

Karen, who sensed the surprise attack, giggled and pulled away. The way he fought was as an assassin, not as an adventurer. If it fails after hiding and making a strike, it will immediately leave and attempt the next attack.

Just repeat it until you succeed.

If once doesn’t work, then twice. If twice doesn’t work, then three times. When your stamina runs out, just run away and wait for the next opportunity.

‘If you don’t have enough speed to chase after it and try to counterattack clumsily, you’ll die on the spot.’

I’m not using ‘shadow’ in the open flat area, but that’s about it. What kind of fear did those who were targeted by ‘Gwanjigi’ feel? Leon somehow seemed to know how they felt.

Shake off distracting thoughts.

Once again and again.

Leon eventually withstood Karen’s sneak attack eight times. I reacted the ninth time too, but misread the trajectory.

“Okay, I blocked it twice more than the day before yesterday.”

Karen praised as she removed the dagger from the nape of his neck.

“It’s not that I’m used to my movements, but that I’m handling my body more efficiently? “I guess the training that didn’t rely on the eyes worked well.”

“Well, that might be the case.”

Leon responded as if he agreed to those words, but he knew that wasn’t true. The reason his movements improved was because he reviewed the movements that El Cid had shown him three weeks ago.

Three sword strikes.

It was a little off the first time, but the second time was perfect, and the third time even surpassed that perfection.

‘I can’t believe my body could move that much…!’

I thought I knew my own limitations. This is a body that has been trained every day. I was more foolish than anyone else in thinking that even if I used my sword with all my might, it wouldn’t make much of a difference.

‘It can be much better than it is now.’

Fingers, wrists, shoulders, waist, knees, ankles.

I saw a ‘model answer’ that I couldn’t understand even if I tried to explain it verbally. That ideal movement still lingered in my senses.

In that case, all you had to do was look at the answer and learn it.

In fact, even though he only improved a few movements, Leon’s skills were quite advanced.

“Hmm then it’s my turn.”

At that time, Cesare, who had been watching the two men training, walked out.

Karen, startled by those words, asked back.

“Are you going to continue without taking a break?”

“Yes, Aurors were hardly ever used.”

“That’s true, but…”

Karen looked a little tired, but Cesare looked back at him with a bright smile.

“With the warrior’s mental strength, there is no problem. “Isn’t that right?”

“…after.”

Leon wiped the sweat from his palms and held the sword again.

It wasn’t wrong.

Training with Karen involved strictly using only the body, so all I had to do was recover some of the stamina I had used up. All I had to do was drink a few sips of water and focus on deep breathing for a moment.

“Let’s get started.”

“very good!”

As Leon raised his sword with his middle finger, Cesare grabbed the chain that separated the iron ball in both hands.

At the same time, two colored auras bloomed.

Ugh…!

Cesare’s auror was silver-white as before, and Leon’s counterpart was golden.

sun and moon.

The two Aurors trembled as if resonating with each other.

‘I feel a bit more stable now.’

Leon looked down at the golden aura flowing on his sword.

Auror Typing.

It was last week that we reached this point, but it was only recently that we were able to maintain stability. Training with Cesare was also a routine that started from then.

Since it is still difficult to use it actively, I was training in a way that corresponds to Cesare’s moves.

“going!”

‘Chrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrva!’ A chain stretches out with a sound.

Cesare has already reached expert level. The ends of the chains wriggled like living snakes and swirled in several directions simultaneously as if they were sweeping around Leon’s body.

Even though the strength was controlled, it was an attack with a chain that became an ‘Auror Weapon’. Even if you just brush against it, your skin will tear.

‘You must combine evasion and defense.’

Leon widened his eyes from the center of those chains.

Phew!

When the chain, which was avoided by a narrow margin, hit the ground, the ground split open and stone fragments flew out.

Then, he sheds the chain in front of his eyes with his sword face and throws away the chain that was trying to wrap around his neck from behind with all his might. As I took two steps back through the gap I created, the siege was loosened.

“It’s not a one-time thing!”

But Cesare’s skills don’t end there.

This time, several chains stretched out as if crawling on the ground and jumped up with the same force as a poisonous snake.

The human body is vulnerable to downward attacks due to its structure. Cesare’s attack was a technique aimed precisely at that.

‘You can’t just avoid or block.’

Leon read the chain’s trajectory and stabbed his sword.

Kigigigigeek!

The two colored auras collide and cut each other down.

In terms of compatibility, the sun is slightly more advantageous, but unlike the shadow, it is not a one-sided advantage. Cesare’s auror, who had been training for a long time, had a much higher density than Leon’s.

Still, the force is enough to push the distributed chain.

The chains that had been pushed by the holy sword’s thrust collided and became entangled, deviating from the cunningly planned path.

‘now.’

Take a step into that gap. Even if you fall to the side or backwards, you are out of range of the chain. In that case, it was better to approach the enemy.

For weapons like chains, maintaining distance is key.

If you get close to it, half of its skills will be blocked.

“That’s a good decision, warrior.”

Cesare praised him but quickly played with his hands. The chain dances, blocking the way.

Although it was possible to cut off one strand, four or five strands was impossible.

‘―No, maybe it’s possible?’

My body was faster than I thought.

The aura of the entire body flows onto the blade in a strange manner in which the entire body is tilted diagonally.

Type 2 Merak from .

It is a horizontal slash that cut off the cave giant’s arms and neck with a single sword.

‘It’s still stuck at the releasing stage, but if you think the other way around… you can just swing it in that state.’

The blade with most of the aura poured into it shines brightly.

A dazzling golden light. The output was clear enough that Leon felt dizzy for a moment.

Leon first raised his mental power.

The power that El Cid called ‘will’ in the past is expressed not through unconsciousness but through one’s own will.

Fit!

Perhaps because of the reaction, blood burst out from one nostril.

Still, it’s worth holding on to.

As he concentrated without wavering, the golden auror began to move following Leon’s mental power.

Compress.

It is piled on the blade and piled on again to suppress it.

Leon poured so much mental power that his eyes became bloodshot until only the blade was stained with a soft golden light. I had to swing the sword in this state.

‘Even if you prepare to faint twice at most, maybe three.’

It is possible at least once.

Sword of Eclipse.

He barely moved his body, which had stopped breathing, and slashed the golden blade diagonally with all his might.

Keying.

A sharp sound rang out once.

and.

Clap la la la rock!

The chain hanging on the track was cut off and fell to the ground, making a loud metallic sound.

Even Cesare couldn’t hide his surprise.

“Hero, this is….”

“It’s still an imperfect technology.”

There is still a long way to complete ‘Seven-Star Sword’.

Even though I knew all the sensations, I couldn’t follow them. Leon felt a sense of shame and relaxed his numb hand.

This technology is ultimately just a temporary measure.

It could be said that it was Leon’s own expedient way to use perfect technology in an unfinished manner. At least I had created a hand that could give me one hit.

“You are amazing! “For someone who has just learned to use ‘Auror Weapon’, he has this level of cutting power…!”

So he didn’t really feel Cesare’s praise.

It was right then.

“hey?”

Before they knew it, Karen, dressed in street clothes, was standing at the back door looking at them.

When the two people turned around, she smiled brightly and said.

“A guest from the guild came.”

Leon put down his sword and asked back.

“who?”

“Miss Rize. know? “Working as a receptionist.”

“It’s my responsibility, of course you know.”

I knew what her visit meant.

He picked up the towel he had hung up and wiped his sweaty head. As the sweat cooled and his scalp became cool, his head, which had been intoxicated by martial arts, returned to its usual routine.

Leon realized quickly.

Now the time has come to leave this city.
