Overpowered Sword Chapter 134

Level up with swords (134)

Ellahan, who boarded the airship, was greatly impressed.

“and! “There really was a ship flying in the sky!”

A few days after Ellahan registered with the guild under false identity, Leon and his group found an airship that traveled to Jugend’s western border and boarded it.

I used it once when going from Area 13 to Area 1, but the usefulness of the airship was truly amazing.

A means of transportation that can maintain a constant speed regardless of terrain!

The entire country is already a mining area, so there is a lot of uneven land in Jugend. Even well-stuck hooves could not support horseshoes, so using horses or carriages to travel long distances was not only inefficient but also dangerous.

In the case of an iron horse equipped with a steam engine, it was slightly better, but it was difficult to install a railroad in places where there was a large difference in height, so the places it could go were limited in many ways.

However, the flight was sufficient as long as the weather was clear.

“Huh, even if you are a saint, is this your first time on an airship?”

Karen approached Ellahan with a proud expression, saying that she had only ridden it once.

Then Ellahan smiled brightly and nodded.

“Yes, usually I just run around. “Actually, my legs are faster than the airship.”

Karen asked with a puzzled expression.

“… “Have you come to visit the hero?”

“Hmm, I went down from the church headquarters to the Kingdom of Artyom and then turned once to the Titan Mountains. And I ran all the way to Jugend Kingdom, but it was quite far.”

“Uh, how long did it take?”

“Well, maybe about a month? “I think it took longer than I thought because I got sidetracked on the way.”

Needless to say, the land where the headquarters of the Holy Church was located, ‘The Top of the Star’, was the uppermost part of the Northern Hemisphere.

On the contrary, the Kingdom of Artium was located in the southeastern part of the continent. As if conquering that wasn’t enough, it was a shock and horror to go to the Titan Mountains again, then change direction again and run to Jugend.

The speed and endurance to cover a distance that would take a few months at the shortest, or more than half a year at the longest, in just one month.

It was not for nothing that the saint was famous as a representative human weapon.

‘They say that if you are captured by the Holy Iron Chain Knights, they will chase you to the edge of the continent. Isn’t that a saying that was created because of a saint like her…? ?’

Karen wiped the cold sweat from her forehead while coming up with a guess that was somehow very credible.

For some reason, every time I saw Ellahan, my assassin’s senses alerted me, so it seemed better to refrain from fighting this fearsome saint with force. She is an ‘Auror Blade’, she is a fool, and I even had the feeling that her seed would not work.

While the two were talking about airship, Leon was standing face to face with Irexana at a distance.

“Thank you for your consideration so far. “Cardinal.”

Irexana responded with a gentle smile as always.

“no. Compared to the dedication and dance shown by the warrior, it is insufficient. I wanted to add at least a few Seongcheolsaegi Knights… .”

“Then the evil church will also doubt my identity.”

He smiled wryly as if he was affirming Leon’s answer.

“Yes, I have conveyed the warrior’s wishes to the church headquarters. “I will take advantage of the evil cult’s failure to notice the return of the Holy Sword and act as a guerrilla force, even if it means delaying my advance to the front.”

“It was like that with Blaine, and it was like that with Rubena. “Unless you can sweep it away with one swing like Saint King Rodrik, it seemed much more effective.”

“That makes sense.”

Irexana, who had clashed with the evil religious order several times as a cardinal, immediately agreed.

The evil sect’s use of extra methods was threatening, but the most difficult thing was its perfect concealment ability. Even if the Holy Iron Chain Knights ran around until their eyes were bloodshot, it was doubtful whether they would be able to stop 2 or 3 out of 10 in advance.

“It is true in this case alone. Even if the Great Mine expedition had been delayed by a few weeks, or even a few days, there would have been a huge uproar. “This was a situation that could have been prevented thanks to the hero’s power.”

“It’s thanks to the Holy Sword’s ability, well.”

Leon sighed while tapping the hilt of his sword.

‘I wish I could have shared that map with everyone… .’

When faced with the power of the holy sword El Cid, the first thing that came to Leon’s mind was sharing the quest map.

Regardless of whether it can be resolved or not, just by informing the area that there is a plot going on, it is possible for the Holy Church to delay or ruin their plans.

However, El Cid resolutely cut off the conversation.

[no.]

‘why? There is no doubt that the damage can be greatly reduced.’

Leon was right, but there was a reason for El Cid’s refusal.

[The power of the Holy Sword was given by the Goddess to closely follow the law of cause and effect. If only you and your group knew and acted upon it, if you let the Holy Church know, tens of thousands of people would be sharing the ‘eyes’ of the goddess.]

The causality is that when El Cid used the ‘Supreme Holy Cross’ once in Leon’s body, he immediately placed a lock on the holy sword.

Even the interference of old beings is so limited, so how big of a penalty would it be to share the goddess’ vision with tens of thousands of people? El Cid thought for a moment and estimated its scale.

[If the reverse flow of causality were to occur to that extent, natural disasters, including earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, would continue across the entire continent for 10 years, and then the dimensional wall would be torn in several more places. It would be okay if there was a normal dimension beyond the wall, but if it leads to the Battle of Ten Thousand Demons or Sura Island, destruction is certain.]

‘… I should never do this.’

[don’t do it. Even if I come back alive, it won’t be resolved.]

Leon had completely erased that thought from his mind due to the terrifying reaction just hearing it.

Irexana spoke in a relieved voice, perhaps knowing his complicated thoughts.

“Still, I feel relieved to know that the saint is accompanying me.”

Unlike Karen, who has not fully crossed the threshold of mastery, Irexana is a complete master. She also had the ability to use her elemental arts and sacred arts to a high level.

Because he understood Ellahan’s power better than anyone else, he knew that she was not suitable for her age group.

‘They said the 8th saint was the best of all time, and that’s true.’

In addition to the strength of the main body, it is also equipped with the church’s strongest sacred techniques,

If it was a life-or-death situation, even Irexana couldn’t guarantee a win rate of more than 50%. Even he hasn’t fully grown, so if a few more years pass, he will be reborn as an absurdly powerful person.

Irexana, with a happy face, gave Leon a few words of well-wishes or advice, and finished preparations to enter the desert with a simple meal with the other two.

* * *

It was a few hours later.

The airship with three people on board flew smoothly through the sky and arrived at its destination just as the sun was hovering in the middle of the sky.

The western border of the Kingdom of Jugend.

The airship slowed down outside the walls of Area 12.

Guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch… .

As the airship approached the ground, making a heavy noise, Leon and the others jumped out from dozens of meters in the air.

This was to save the trouble of anchoring and taking off again.

When they landed without difficulty, the descending airship began to rise into the distant sky again. A person waved from the still open doorway. It was the farewell message of Irexana, the cardinal who saw Leon off until the end.

‘If you think about it, the people in the church are truly very affectionate.’

The same was true for the Seongcheolsaegi Knights, who were famous for their ruthlessness in the world.

Cesare’s daily routine was taking care of the poor, and Damian and Angela always smiled when they met someone.

It seemed like he knew why the goddess favored priests.

“Hero!”

At that time, Leon’s sleeve was slightly pulled as he looked at the flying ship that was moving away. I looked in that direction and saw Ellahan pointing to the horizon with her eyes sparkling.

Despite his sophisticated appearance, he looked like a child.

“It’s a desert, a desert! “I’ve seen it a few times in picture books, but this is the first time I’ve seen the desert with my own eyes.”

“Did you miss the desert that much?”

“yes! At the church headquarters, we could always see snowstorms. “Even when I went out on missions or training, I never went to the desert, and it was amazing that a land completely covered with sand existed.”

Ellahan carefully stretched out one foot and stepped on the soft sandy ground. The sight of her rising to her ankles in one go was quite amazing, and I couldn’t help but notice the smile on her face.

Leon and Karen, who saw the saint’s innocent side, followed suit with faint smiles.

As soon as I put my feet on the sandy field, the ground disappears immediately.

‘If you don’t adjust your center of gravity well, walking will be difficult.’

Leon pulled out his feet again, spread his weight using the ‘step method’, and stood on the sandy field with both legs.

It is different from the rocky desert that existed beyond the border of Artium. It was made of fine, soft sand, so unless you were a camel with wide soles, it was difficult not to fall into it.

Of course, this did not apply to the three people.

“I can’t run at full speed. Well, as long as you run moderately, there won’t be any problem.”

“I’m fine too.”

Before moving on in earnest, Ellahan stopped the two and stretched out his free hand.

Then there was a flash of light and a huge hammer appeared.

〈Seongcheolswae〉.

It is the Holy Church’s strongest holy magic weapon and a saint’s exclusive weapon. Leon and Karen took a step back without realizing it. It looked like if one were hit, one’s head would burrow all the way to the waist.

“Goddess, please guide the way.”

When Ellahan put it in and put his hands together, Seongcheolsoe, which had been standing upright, fell down in one direction.

That was the end of it.

“ruler! “Let’s move!”

Unlike her bright smile, the two people had a half-confident look on their faces.

“… Is that really ‘revelation’?”

“Yes, it is the goddess’s merciful guidance.”

“No matter how you look at it, it seems like it was taken with ‘luck’… ?”

“Sister, this is blasphemous!”

Ellahan, pouting at Karen’s blunt words, repeated the same action several times. No matter how many times he was set up, he never fell down before he prayed, and he fell down in the same direction every time, so the two of them had no choice but to believe.

This clumsy wayfinding is the true power of the goddess.

“I feel somewhat empty… .”

“You too, hero? I’m kind of like that too… .”

I wasn’t hoping for something incredibly grand, but it’s not much different from spitting in the palm of your hand and flicking it.

Leon and Karen started running through the sand, following the triumphant Ellahan. At a speed a little faster than a horse running, a little slower than an airship.

Naturally, the conversation between the three disappeared.

‘… Of course, running is several times more difficult than walking. ‘If I make a mistake once, I’ll fall asleep.’

If this is the case even with a fairly advanced level of skill, you won’t be able to leave any idle thoughts while running at full speed.

Not all sand fields were the same.

In some places the sand was soft and deep, and in other places the sand was large and rough. Since the surface of the earth changes its shape depending on the force and direction of stepping, it was natural that the method of using stepping stones became complicated.

Leon thought, “What if?” and stamped his foot.

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu… !

The aura that had been spreading in a circular shape distorted before reaching even halfway.

‘also.’

The accuracy and range of 〈Wave Echo Method〉 fell by less than half. It was a technique that could be easily used on rocky, hard ground, but when it became a sandy field, the difficulty level increased sharply.

The principle of the technology was to deliver shocks evenly and use the echolocation to understand the surroundings, but this does not work well in sandy areas because the shocks themselves are scattered too chaotically.

Although he had suddenly lost a skill, there was no sign of embarrassment on Leon’s face.

No, on the contrary, he seemed to think it went well.

‘If we can use waves uniformly even in a sand field, we will be able to use the wave echo method regardless of the environment.’

The importance of 〈Bobeop〉 could not be overemphasized no matter how many times it was emphasized.

Il-an Yi Jok Samdam History History.

〈Anbeop〉 was greatly strengthened by obtaining the ‘Stigmata of the Observer’, but 〈Bobeop〉 was in need of a task worthy of training. Experience in the desert will be a great help in making up for that inexperience.

[No, wait a minute.]

El Cid suddenly spoke up.

[Are you serious? Are you going to practice ‘Bobeop’ like this?]

‘huh? ‘Is there any reason why I shouldn’t practice?’

[I’m serious about this… ?]

El Cid, who read Leon’s inner thoughts, sighed loudly.

[I’m sorry, I’m sorry! My strict educational policy has completely ruined my student’s sense of life values!]

‘Why is this nonsense coming out of nowhere?!’

[What a crazy person to prioritize training while traveling with two pretty girls! I raised you like that! Blame this harsh world and this teacher! I can’t believe the hero is a eunuch!]

‘shut up!’

Leon, who lost concentration due to El Cid’s outrageous remarks, stumbled once, but finally regained his balance.

That doesn’t mean he was indifferent to his romantic situation.

Isn’t twenty-years-old a youth whose blood is literally boiling?

But Leon had too many things on his mind right now to move with that momentum just because his blood was boiling.

It was even more so after Ellahan joined.

and.

“―Hero, saint.”

Karen smiled as she ran next to the two people.

“From now on, as a senior adventurer, I will teach you things to be careful of in the desert!”
