Overpowered Sword Chapter 118

Level up with swords (118)

B38-5.

It was the name of the mine the two people were entering.

B stands for Black-Iron, and 38 meant that the mining began for the thirty-eighth time. ‘-5’ records the order of the tunnels, which can range from a few to dozens at most.

According to Irexana’s explanation, this mining area was most similar to the operational area that would be entered four days later.

They say that the monsters that appear and the terrain all match almost 80%.

‘This probably means that the remaining 20% ​​are uncertain variables.’

Leon, who had taken a few steps back from Karen, began to shine with his holy sword. Unlike her, who can see clearly even in the dark, he can only see if there is a little bit of light.

The faintly emanating light dispelled the darkness, revealing the ruined tunnel to the two of them.

“… “They said it was abandoned because it wasn’t profitable, but it’s a huge mess.”

Just as Leon muttered, the inside of the tunnel was a mess. The tracks on which the minecars had been running were all broken, twisted, and tattered as if they had been bitten by the jaws of an animal.

All the lamps that were supposed to light up had long since been shattered, and the heads of the grain pits and hammers standing all over the walls had disappeared, leaving only the hafts empty.

Karen, who was ahead, said as if she agreed with what he said.

“Yes, I think undead will appear.”

Then, he twitches his tall nose and says ‘sniff.’

“The ventilation system is still working, so the air is fine, but if the accumulated dust rises, it will be a bit difficult to breathe.”

“What is the possibility of a dust explosion?”

“Low. I can’t say it’s non-existent, but it’s quite difficult for an explosion to occur with dust that isn’t even iron dust. “There may be a need to be careful in 10,000 places while mining.”

As an A-rank rogue, Karen quickly analyzed the surrounding environment and selected only a few pieces of information she needed to know.

These were knowledges that Leon, who was unfamiliar with the field, could not know.

He listened to the warnings carefully and then knocked on the wall with his fist. A technique that transfers only the impact to the rock wall, producing almost no sound or vibration.

Quad deuk.

Although he hadn’t used all his strength, let alone his Aura, cracks appeared in the wall and spewed out crumbly stone dust.

The durability of the mine shaft itself appears to be quite low.

If I were to pour out conversational skills like

‘I’ll have to thoroughly control my strength first.’

Until now, Leon has always fought with all his might. When he was dealing with the Evangelist in Blaine, when he was dealing with the Warlock in Rubena, and when he was dealing with the Drake in the Titan Mountains.

If he saves even a handful of his strength, he continues to encounter and survive against powerful enemies who cannot even guarantee his life, let alone his chance of victory.

As a result, the ability to use power appropriately became poor.

‘First of all, ‘Seven Star Sword’ is not possible. ‘It’s not a skill worth using here.’

The strongest skills are sealed from the beginning, and neither sunlight nor moonlight reaches the inside of the tunnel, so the recovery power from the ‘Guardian’s Stigmata’ is greatly reduced.

Since he had never fought in such an unfavorable environment, Leon felt more frustrated than ever.

But he soon realized.

[I understand. Do you understand now?]

‘… huh’

Creating a favorable environment and taking the lead is a warrior’s skill, but a time will inevitably come when a warrior must jump into it even though he knows he is at a disadvantage.

Breaking through unfavorable conditions with the right technique.

Only those who can routinely commit suicide can become a true warrior.

If you are blind, you must be able to fight without vision, if you have lost your weapon, you must be able to fight with your bare hands, you must be able to attack a perfect defense posture from the front, and even if you are surrounded by multiple enemies, you must be able to overcome them alone.

[Learn somehow. How to survive in those harsh conditions and how to use your power to the fullest.]

El Cid said.

[Now, it starts from here.]

It was that moment.

Kugugugugung… ! Kugu Palace… !

Before Leon could say anything, the wall collapsed in front and behind the two, and dozens of monsters came out.

Crag-Mutant.

The risk is unknown. These are monsters that appear in large mining areas. It has a magic core inside the ore, so it builds its body autonomously and attacks only organic life forms.

Their combat power varied greatly depending on their composition, and their countermeasures were also inconsistent.

“Nonsense. I didn’t feel any presence at all… !?”

Since the two people could not feel it even with their developed energy senses, they were easily surrounded. Karen, who had little experience working in mining areas, also looked embarrassed.

Leon, who had his back to her, took a step forward first.

‘This is my first time seeing a Crag Mutant.’

In a word, it is a living, moving stone.

They are all different in size and shape, and their behavior patterns as well as the location of their nuclei do not match. It was easier to think of each one as a separate monster.

There were some that looked like animals, and some that looked like humans.

Crags, facing Leon, paused for a moment, then moved his blocky lower body and started running.

Thump thump thump thump!

The sound of stamping feet is extremely heavy.

Like the monsters from the Hyeoncheol Mine, their bodies were mixed with Hyeoncheol, so it was clearly visible that they weighed easily over 400kg. The speed is also quite fast. Although he is slower than someone who knows how to use Aurors, he is at the level of a well-trained soldier.

Its weight and rigidity alone were threatening enough.

‘Let me cut it once.’

Aurors do not use it.

It is left to the physical ability, swordsmanship, and sharpness of the holy sword. I dodge the kick of the guy who attacked me like an animal by an inch and look at his empty head.

Leon, naturally holding the upper part, plunged his sword vertically.

A flash that imitates what El Cid showed at the blacksmith shop.

Quaaaang!

The stone chunk struck by the blade of the holy sword exploded with an explosion, and perhaps accidentally hit the core, turning back into simple ore.

The sword that hit the top of the head penetrated all the way to the body.

However, Leon’s face was not bright after defeating him with one blow.

‘It’s solid. The limit was to hit it, not cut it. If you don’t use aurors, it will be a bit difficult with a sword.’

Because it is a holy sword, the teeth are not missing. Even if it is a sword made of mithril, if you handle it as carelessly as before, the body of the sword will bend. This meant that Crag Mutants could be stably captured only by using the Auror Weapon.

Even if one animal wasn’t much, if there were tens or hundreds of them, the amount of power consumed would definitely be enormous.

‘I need to find a separate, efficient method.’

Leon moved his body independently of those thoughts.

The blade flowed like water, cutting down three Krags as soft golden light drew a line in the tunnel.

When using the

Crispy.

Craggs’ body later collapses into stone crumbs.

Leon took advantage of the moment to look back.

“Tch, maybe it’s because it’s a rock. “Poison doesn’t work at all.”

There, Karen’s one-sided violation was taking place.

Try using poison or cutting into relatively weak areas. Alternatively, the body could be split into pieces using the Auror Weapon to search for the core.

Although I didn’t get any particular income.

“You and I don’t get along well.”

After making sure to kill the people she had suppressed, Karen kicked the remains and grumbled.

Ore-type monsters are not even living creatures, so they are impervious to poison, and the assassin’s method of attacking vital points is also meaningless except for the magic core.

The only way left for Karen was to overwhelm with destructive power.

“Would you like to practice some new skills?”

If you ignore something you can’t do, it becomes a weakness, but if you change it into something you can do, it becomes an unexpected advantage.

A shadow burst out from Karen’s grasp and changed its shape as it wrapped around a dagger. A shadowy string similar to a bowstring was connected between her thumb and finger, and the dagger was pulled taut while resting on the string.

If you grant ‘elasticity’ just like when you came out of the Titan Mountains, and shoot the dagger like an arrow… .

Phew!

The dagger stretched out like a flash of light, pierced through four Krags, smashed the head of the one beyond it, and became embedded in the wall.

It was such a destructive force that even Karen, who shot it herself, was left speechless.

“… “Is it worth using?”

The consumption of aurors was also significantly reduced. Karen seemed to have caught her clue from an unexpected source, so she made a shadow bow with both hands and began slashing with her daggers.

Leon, who was watching this, also realized something.

‘I have to learn how to fight differently than before.’

There may be no need to shoot daggers like Karen, but his fighting style needs to be flexible.

I couldn’t change my main weapon.

A hero is at his strongest when he has a holy sword equipped in his hand. Therefore, flexibility in combat methods had to take a different form.

El Cid gave advice as if affirming his idea.

[A swordsman is someone who uses a sword, not just a sword. There’s nothing more stupid than a user becoming obsessed with a tool. Isn’t that right?]

The moment Leon smiled bitterly at those words, the Crags began to approach again. Unlike living monsters, Crag Mutants’ instincts and intelligence are at a primitive level, so even if they understand the difference in power, they forget it in a matter of seconds.

15 meters.

Looking at the guys who came into range, Leon lowered the sword in his hand and ran forward.

Paang!

Strike, not sword strike.

He held out his palm to block the charge of one Krag, and pushed the auror beyond the hard surface.

Thin and thin like a thread.

In an instant, I stirred it up as if searching its body and pulled it out.

Since Leon was still low on skill in the ‘technique’, it was easier to use the palm of his hand than the blade, which had a small contact area.

“Tch!”

That’s what he thought, but he failed. After some trial and error, Leon ran away to avoid the Crags that followed him.

The strengths and weaknesses of ore monsters.

Since it has no joints, nerves, or muscles, it is resistant to damage, but its movements are more crude than those of a wooden doll. If there was enough space, one could run away for hours.

‘again!’

Instead of giving up, he slams his palm into Crags’ torso. Looking at the body shaking from the impact, Leon realized that it was not necessary to use the aura in the form of a thread.

It is a wave.

Concentric circles spreading out in an invisible world. The echolocation of those waves is used to examine the creature’s body.

Teuong!

There were times when I made a mistake in controlling my strength and ended up throwing the crab away.

Wow!

It was so infused with aura that it shattered its body.

‘Once again… !’

It’s different from breaking a spear in a blacksmith shop.

You must dodge while dozens of Crags attack, and there is a time limit of about 1 second. At that moment, succeeding in ‘Gongbeop’ was several times or dozens of times more difficult.

Nevertheless, Leon never gave up.

His palms, which had been chapped from hitting Krag, were bleeding, his eyes wide open, and he thrust his hands toward the next target.

Whoops!

Even though I protected my hand with an aura, I hit a rock. The skin peels off and the impact makes the bones tingle. Some will groan, some will grit their teeth.

However, Leon changed his posture without any hesitation and simply tapped the next crab with his palm.

I am familiar with self-denial.

Pushing himself was no big deal to Leon. It was just a routine he had been doing for more than three years.

Once, twice.

Ten, twenty times.

and.

Taaang!

Using an unknown number of failures as a stepping stone, the aura that overflowed from Leon’s palm made Cragg’s body vibrate.

.

The wave that swept through him once returned and conveyed the location of the magic core within his body. Right shoulder. Leon pierced exactly that spot with the holy sword.

There was a ‘snap’ sound of something solid breaking apart.

“Did you succeed?”

As soon as the sword was drawn, the torso of the Crag Mutant, which was larger than a bear, collapsed.

It was evidence that the location of the nucleus found through the method was accurate.

Just one success.

However, the experience gained from success was more than that gained from failure. Recalling the feeling that still remained on the palm of his left hand, Leon glared at the few monsters that were already left.

“… again.”

Craggs, overwhelmed by the eerie force, took a few steps back, but soon forgot their fear with the memory of a crucian carp.

In the tunnel of B38-5, the hero and the monsters clashed again.

“lol.”

Behind Leon, who was struggling like that, Karen, who had already destroyed dozens of Krags, was wandering around.

That fierceness was Leon’s hidden charm.

A person who does not know how to give up no matter what happens, who does not lose his fighting spirit no matter what powerful enemy he faces, and who inspires hope like an ember in those who look at his back.

“You want to become stronger, too, hero.”

A faint light appeared in Karen’s empty eyes.

The emotions that had been worn away while living as an assassin were being revived little by little by staying by his side.

The light that had been abandoned in the darkness came down like a rope.

The frozen blood seemed to melt in the warmth.

‘I shouldn’t be satisfied with this much.’

Although he has reached the level of a master, he is a half-penny who cannot even use

You should not show off with a bow made of shadow.

A true Assassin Master is an incarnation of death who can defeat even masters like him. If you learn her ‘Auror Blade’ and ‘Auror Skills’ properly, there will be few people who can survive in front of her.

“I won’t miss it this time, you stoneheads.”

Karen’s eyes turned around with a blue glow.

Before we knew it, dozens more Crag Mutants appeared, glaring at the creatures that had invaded their territory for the first time in a long time.

The total length of B38-5 is 34km.

The number of monsters living there is in the thousands.

Guuuuung.

A mutant that appears rarely, Cragheader, which even mimics the structure of a specific living creature, made an eerie roar.

As infrasound waves flow, they intimidate surrounding creatures.

Since it contains magical power, it is at the same level as a kind of mental magic, so those who are mentally and physically disturbed will feel numb.

But Karen faced the sound wave and smiled brightly.

“Did you even say hello? hi! Nice to meet you too. and-.”

With an innocent smile on her face, she burned the blades of the daggers she held between her ten fingers to a turquoise color.

Aurifier with further increased density.

“-Everyone die for me and the hero!”

Immediately after that, a meteor shower resembling a will-o’-the-wisps tore apart the darkness of the abandoned mine.
