Overpowered Sword

Overpowered Sword Chapter 184

Level up with the sword (184)

It was the very next day.

Leon and his party, who had completed their preparations with Irexana’s full help, were quickly moving forward. It was enough to just run fast without even reaching full speed.

It took less than half a day to cross the empty space that exists between the Jugend border and the Clyde Empire.

“Hey warrior?”

“huh?”

When Leon turned around at the voice calling him, Karen with a shocked face asked a question carefully.

“Is that really okay? “For ostracizing Cedric like that…”

It happened last night.

The moment Leon received Cedric’s request to accompany him through Irexana, he decided to decline on the spot. No matter how many times I thought about it, his intentions seemed impure.

So, in addition to refusing the request, Leon asked them to guide him in the opposite direction of where they were going.

Even Cedric would never have thought that Irexana would lie so blatantly.

“are you okay. “I don’t think anything will worry Karen.”

Leon thought about Cedric, who had only clashed swords once while comforting him.

〈Sword Demon〉.

He was indeed a person who fit that nickname. A monster that was closer to a sword in the shape of a human than to a human. I had no idea why he had asked Leon to accompany him or what his plan was. Not only was the intention good or bad, but the purpose was completely unknown.

The power of one Sword Master was a little disappointing, but even if the unreliable allies were strong, the risk only increased.

‘That person is too dangerous.’

Regardless of whether one is strong or weak, humanity is heterogeneous.

When he faced Cedric while holding his sword, Leon looked into his eyes and trembled.

Achromatic.

The subject was holding a sword with the intention of killing him, but his eyes did not show any trace of murderous intent.

[I saw it well.]

El Cid said after reading that thought.

[Even though it may seem like there is some reason left on the outside, the world that can be seen by this guy is all about ‘things that can be cut’ and ‘things that cannot be cut.’ I have no interest in things that can be cut, but I tend to be obsessed with things that cannot be cut.]

‘What if it’s something that can’t be cut?’

When Leon, who reflexively fumbled with his waist, stopped talking, El Cid continued speaking as if confirming the guess.

[Yes, it is a holy sword.]

There was a scene that came to mind when I heard those words.

While sparring in the training hall, Cedric’s sword suddenly turned upside down and was only aiming for the holy sword, even breaking the rational path of the sword. In the end, not only did I fail miserably, I even broke my own sword, which was more than enough reason to follow Leon around and bother him.

The fact that there is no possibility is even worse.

‘How can I cut a sword that even Roderick couldn’t break in his lifetime…’

Of course, I acknowledge Cedric’s strength.

〈Auror Blade〉, created by dedicating one’s life to a single sword with the intention of ‘cutting anything’, was even beautiful. Although the areas of functionality and aesthetics are different, the distinction becomes blurred when it reaches the end.

Cedric’s 〈Auror Blade〉 can cut down even 〈Auror Blades〉 of the same class. No, it had the density to cut it off even if it had several times the power.

Still, it doesn’t work.

To destroy the holy sword El Cid, you will have to surpass Roderick, who was able to cut down a mountain with just one sword.

‘As expected, it was a good thing I refused.’

〈Auror Blade〉 was not simply a crystallization of power, but a power that embodied the person’s outlook on life and the essence of martial arts.

Just as Leon embraced the wings of the sun to challenge the impossible, he embraced a sharp sword to cut through anything. It’s good up to that point. The problem was next.

‘If his will is broken while challenging the Holy Sword, Cedric will definitely go on a rampage.’

The Auror Master was a being who stepped into the next realm when his heart-energy body was reborn as one. It won’t budge for most things, but if the core that became the foundation of Auror Blade collapses, its entire body and energy will turn upside down.

The moment Cedric gives up after being convinced that the Holy Sword cannot be cut, the Auror Blade he has been cultivating so far will tear his body and mind apart.

Also, there was a high possibility that the Sword Master who went crazy would instinctively target Leon, who was carrying the holy sword that caused the attack.

[Hmm, I feel like the over-interpretation is a bit harsh, but it’s not something that can’t happen. I thought he might try to kill you and take the holy sword.]

‘Oh, that could be possible.’

It’s easier to compromise than to give up.

Either way, it was a case where Leon could be threatened, so the choice to refuse Cedric’s request to accompany him was the right one.

It was then.

Ellahan, who was listening intently to the two people’s story, said.

“Hero, isn’t it possible that he could be a member of the evil cult?”

“Cedric?”

“yes. “I haven’t seen his face, but just from hearing the stories of my sister and the warrior, I can tell that he is a rather dangerous person.”

For some reason, Leon couldn’t think of that possibility, but he soon realized the reason and burst into laughter.

It was the same with Karen.

The two looked at each other once, and Leon answered first.

“Well I don’t think so.”

“Why?”

“Because the Cedric I met was not the type of person who could be cajoled or controlled.”

He was a man who thought that wealth, honor, and fame were as worthless as a stone on the side of the road, and if something caught his eye, he would cut it down, whether it was a beggar or an emperor, without thinking about what would happen next. Belonging to a guild is simply to pass on the burdensome work, and there is no sense of belonging whatsoever.

Moreover, in order to subdue Cedric by force, at least an ‘Exorcist’ would have to appear, and with his personality, it seemed unlikely that he would fall under someone’s wing even if he died fighting.

The evil sect is a lot of crazy people, but if you put two crazy people in one room, they won’t be able to communicate with each other, and they will just argue and say what they want to say.

Ellahan seemed to be convinced by the explanation and became speechless.

“Ah, it’s a castle wall.”

It was some time later.

On a whim, Karen jumped high and spotted a castle on the horizon.

There was only one fortress in this area.

Alger, one of five fortresses guarding the empire’s borders. That was the territory that served as the front line when fighting against Jugend decades ago.

Leon and his group stopped a few kilometers outside of Alger.

“Hmm, as expected, security is tight.”

“of course.”

As if the large-scale rebellion of the rebels was not enough, the Perma Hispana Merrill Maritime Union is showing unusual movements.

Moreover, if Alzer’s troops, who were in charge of border defense, were able to be negligent in this situation, they could, in a sense, be called giants.

There are dozens of soldiers staring at the horizon with the gates locked in broad daylight. If things continue like this, even if you approach just a hundred meters further, you will be detected immediately.

“Let’s sneak in from here.”

“yes.”

Hiding in a large rock, the three began talking about how to enter Alzer.

“Climbing the castle wall in the middle of the night?”

“There are still a few hours left until the sun sets.”

“If I use my shadow to jump through space… it won’t work. There is detection magic spread throughout the castle. “I think it would take half a day to find the blind spot.”

“If the front door had been open, I would have used disguised ID, but this makes me wonder if I got it for no reason.”

As Leon said, the three looked a little different than usual.

Hair and eye color.

The equipment was also decorated to make it difficult to recognize its quality from the outside, and the holy sword had changed into an old long sword. The card, which was almost like an identification card, had been forged as a B-rank adventurer.

In the end, it didn’t mean much.

“there’s nothing we can do. “I have no choice but to use my secret infiltration skills.”

“Secret infiltration technique?”

“Ella you?”

As the two people looked at each other with subtle expressions, Ellahan smiled and nodded with a triumphant expression.

“Anyway, I am the vice-captain of Seongcheolswae. “I have experienced infiltration operations several times.”

“Oh…”

As Leon and Karen looked at her with expectant eyes, Ellahan smiled embarrassedly and raised both fists.

And gathered strength.

Holy power and auror.

The two types of power come together and turn into a bead of light. Elahan, grasping that strength, spread his legs wide, lowered his body, and slammed both fists into the ground.

Phew!

The sound wasn’t loud.

Is it because the power has been extremely compressed?

The light emitted from Ellahan’s fist cut the ground and created a hole large enough for several people to pass through.

When Karen looked at how deep it was, she could barely see the bottom. Wouldn’t it be at least 30 meters? If it had been shot at a person instead of the ground, there was no doubt that it would not have left even a piece of bone behind.

“ruler! “Follow me!”

When Ellahan jumped into the hole first, the two followed suit without even being able to hide their dazed feelings.

A height of several tens of meters is nothing to them.

As she casually jumped down into the basement, Karen asked a question that Leon could not bear to ask.

“Hey Ella? “Do all Seongcheolsaeken knights infiltrate like this?”

“yes! I also learned it from Sir Angela. The trick is to make a passage so that it is invisible to the eye and invisible to the ear.”

“…I see.”

As a former assassin, Karen thought once again about the concept of infiltration.

Are there dozens of people who can cut through the ground cleanly and silently like this? Even though I had heard rumors of the Seongcheolsaegi Knight several times and met him in person several times, it still didn’t feel real.

Ellahan’s fist glowed several more times, and Leon and the others soon reached an area presumed to be the basement of Alger Castle.

“Let me see.”

This time it was Leon’s turn to step forward.

When an aura is blown into a solid underground rock, the force bounces and resonates inside the rock wall and a reverberation comes back.

〈Wave Echo Method〉.

Leon, who had scanned the surface tens of meters above and found a deserted area in the area, guided the two people. Since it was possible to detect not only living creatures but also the existence and shape of structures, it was not difficult to avoid human eyes.

Phew!

When Ellahan stretched out his fist, the ground was cut away, creating a hole in the ground.

The three people rushed to the ground without regard for who was first.

There is no pretense of popularity.

Three shadows swayed inside the collapsing building, as if it were a slum. Leon, who stretched out his senses and explored the area, opened his eyes and said.

“It seems okay. no one is here.”

“Just in case, should we take a spin?”

“Please.”

At the same time, Karen melted into the shadow at her feet and moved away at a speed that even Leon or Ellahan’s senses could not keep up with.

If it had been outside the shadows, several sonic booms would have exploded.

It was an incredible speed.

“and! “Did you get faster there?”

Ellahan opened his eyes wide and was amazed.

“It’s not that I’ve gotten faster, but that I’ve gotten the hang of it. “The speed and process of changing shadows has been shortened.”

“I don’t really know the difference.”

“so do i. “Because we don’t really know how to handle shadows.”

Even though they were the same Auror Master, it did not mean they understood each other well. No, rather, because he was a master who built his own world, there were many parts that were even more difficult to accept.

By what principle is the giant of Al Rajaz formed?

How Varg’s whirlwind wraps around your feet.

What is the cutting power of Cedric’s sword?

Leon couldn’t guess or understand anything.

Auror Blade, the spirit that jumped out from the inner world into reality, was truly an unkind power to others.

‘What happened? It’s not a problem worth worrying about now.’

Shaking off all the distracting thoughts that occupied his mind, Leon tapped the holy sword he had drawn from his belt. While Karen was scouting the area, he planned to check the target once again.

The sword that accepted his will emitted a dazzling light.

Quest-Map.

A map with six colored markings was revealed to the two people.
