Overpowered Sword Chapter 203

Level up with swords (203)

‘Super vibration?’

[okay.]

Since it was a very unfamiliar concept to Leon, El Cid took a moment to choose his words and then began to explain.

Adela’s explanation was easy to understand in her own way, but if you listen to it without any basic knowledge, it is not much different from empty talk.

The realm of the microscopic world.

It was the wisdom of the metaphysical world that delved deeply into the physical laws of this world, located at the extreme end of the metaphysical world that can be accessed through thought.

[As the gnome explains, the fundamental form of all power comes from ‘vibration’. Heat is when fine particles vibrate, and sound is when the surrounding air layer vibrates and transmits waves.]

‘I heard last time that sound is vibration.’

[Not only that. All substances in this world vibrate at a constant beat according to their components without the intervention of external forces, and each has its own unique regularity.]

It was the concept of ‘natural frequency’.

Adela realized the logic through hundreds of years of martial arts and experience, but since she had never conducted academic research, she did not know how to explain it in words or teach it.

One of the reasons was the unique sensitivity of the gnomes.

This was because there was no way they could sympathize even if they explained empirical knowledge to other races.

[The technology we just saw is an application of ‘natural frequency’.]

As El Cid said earlier, every substance in this world has its own “natural frequency,” and applying force at the same frequency could make the amplitude more intense.

This phenomenon corresponds to resonance in the case of sound and resonance in the case of vibration.

Examples of resonance phenomena were quite diverse.

This was also the case when a well-built bridge collapsed due to an insignificant wind, or when a glass glass broke due to a high-pitched voice.

‘Cardinal Adela’s skills aren’t that good… ?’

All I had to do was put my hand on it.

It wasn’t a long hit, nor was the inside destroyed with a penetrator. Just by vibrating the aura around his hand, Portroy’s sturdy walls crumbled to dust.

El Cid said it as if it was no big deal.

[I told you, application. It is a technology that works better on liquids than gases, and on solids better than liquids. The principle itself is not that great. It’s amazing that you can handle Aurors like that.]

The three people also reached the level of Auror Master, but none of them had the confidence to use Aurors like Adella.

That could be said to be a gap in seniority.

The level of basic skills that have been refined over a hundred years is close to perfection. Even if you were a genius, you couldn’t catch up in a day or two; it was a level you had to accumulate over time to reach.

“Why are you so dazed? “All three of you, come to your senses and follow me!”

Ellahan, Karen, and Leon, who were mesmerized by the absurd sight, climbed through the hole in the castle wall as if pushed by the urging.

Port Roy’s strategy, which took several days of hard work, ended in vain.

“Wouldn’t it be better to at least cover the outside appearance?”

Handling the land is not just a dwarf’s specialty.

When Adela made a single gesture, the dirt around the castle wall rose and filled the hole, which was nearly 2 meters in radius.

If you look closely, you can’t help but notice it, but since it is a remote area, the patrol’s eyes are poor. Unless there was an inspector, it wouldn’t be easy to get caught.

That’s how the four people infiltrated Port Roy.

After leaving the outskirts and walking for a few minutes, we soon got closer to the main street. The group briefly discussed how to move inside the alley.

“The security is not as strict as you might think. “As long as I can naturally blend in with the crowd, I won’t have to worry about getting checked.”

“Hmm, I don’t know about the hero, but our cutie and the young lady stand out a bit. “If you’re a guy with normal eyes, you’re bound to go blind, right?”

“… Certainly, that is so.”

Leon agreed with that.

The two people’s appearance was enough to glow even in the middle of the night.

Not only the silver-haired and blonde-eyed Elahan, but also Karen is a beauty who attracts men’s attention. She had every reason for the soldiers to try to use the inspection as an excuse.

“Ugh, I can’t help it. “Should I suffer like always?”

Then Adela opened her mouth with an expression of reluctance.

Rather than saying it was annoying or difficult, it was like putting vegetables on a spoon that you didn’t want to eat.

Eventually, the three people listened to her, and then looked back at her with surprised expressions.

* * *

Gateway city Port Roy.

The vast and rich territory was unaffected by the tribulations taking place within the empire. This was because the distance from the rebel forces was very far, and it was difficult to touch them because they were in close proximity to the ecliptic Karelum.

So, even when the war regime was in effect, the residents of Port Roy worked as usual, walked around the streets, and enjoyed daily life.

“Oh, a young couple!”

A carpenter who was repairing a sign on a ladder greeted a couple passing by.

For people who are a bit older, there is no subject that is as fun and interesting as newlyweds.

The old man raised his head at the voice and spoke carefully.

“These are faces I haven’t seen before. Are they from another territory?”

At his question, his chestnut hair bobbed up and down once.

“Yes, because the atmosphere in my hometown is so scary. “If it’s Port Roy, there must be a lot of land, so you can somehow find a way to make a living.”

“Hehe, good idea. Although it is not as good as the Imperial Capital, it is also one of the safest territories in the empire. For a young man, his thoughts are very deep. Isn’t that right, wife?”

A beauty with silver hair and golden eyes, a color rarely seen in one’s life, smiled softly.

Anyone could see that he was pleased with the old man’s praise.

“yes! “He’s too much for me!”

“How many times have I told you that Ella is full of my wrath?”

“Oh my, you too.”

Seeing the couple flirting with each other with cheesy words, the old man smiled happily and pointed to the child in between them.

“As expected, I like Geumseul. “I was worried because young people these days were so stubborn about not having children, but I guess it was all for nothing because they already have one grown-up child!”

A child with light brown hair tied in a single strand blinked his large, transparent green eyes.

“Grandpa, am I already grown up?”

“Yes? If you can walk and run by yourself, you’re all great. “Isn’t that right?”

“Hmph, I shouldn’t have grown up… . I need to be taller and wear prettier clothes like my mom… .”

Only then did the old man realize his mistake, laughing and holding out a toy that had been placed on the stand.

“No, this old man saw it wrong. It will grow even bigger in the future. “If you play with this toy, you will grow faster.”

“Really?! Wow!”

Soon, the girl’s tearful face brightened and she burst into innocent laughter. The change in expression was so dramatic that everyone passing by stopped in their tracks.

Even if 20 or even 10 more years pass from now, won’t she grow into a woman you can’t take your eyes off of?

With that thought in mind, the people looked at the three family members moving away on the other side of the road, and then started to go their own way again.

and.

“What is this rag doll? “I don’t know if it’s a bear or a rabbit.”

As soon as she entered the deserted alley, Adela violently shook the doll she was holding in her arms.

Nevertheless, the reason I didn’t throw it away right away was because it was a gift I received out of pure kindness.

Leon guessed his true feelings and smiled bitterly.

‘I never thought Cardinal Adela would suggest it first.’

The plan is for Leon and Ellahan, who are similar in age, to disguise themselves as a young couple, and Adela to disguise themselves as their daughter.

If there were only two people, suspicion could be raised, but if it was a couple with children, the guard would be lowered. The reason why the old man or the carpenter greeted them first or showed them favors was because Adela’s presence broke down their guard.

―Anyway, you endured it well, warrior. I burst out laughing once when the Cardinal smiled brightly.

Karen, who was hiding in Leon’s shadow, whispered softly.

She possessed the ability to hide, and from the moment she passed the barrier magic, her actions were more free than others.

I thought about gathering information away from the three, but there is an archmage in this territory. There may be a means to penetrate even the stealth ability of <The Black Dance>.

“… I could barely stand it either. “Ella Han even pinched his thigh, and I’m not sure if he got any bruises.”

―By the way, the Cardinal is really great too. Even if I were that old man, I wouldn’t have suspected anything and would have been fooled.

It’s a skill that even top assassins wouldn’t feel uncomfortable about.

It was difficult to bear it after seeing Adela’s true identity, but her behavior was completely that of a child.

Perhaps guessing why they were whispering, Adela opened her mouth with a very uncomfortable expression.

“So, hero, what are you going to do with this territory?”

“How?”

“If your destination is the ecliptic Karelum, there is no reason to stay in Portroy for a long time. If you delay for no reason, there is a high possibility that you will be caught by the archmage. “If you’re going to the imperial capital, it would be a good idea to climb over the wall tonight.”

But Leon felt groundless rejection at those words.

That’s not right.

I felt an instinctive sense of crisis, telling me that I should not go to the ecliptic right now.

“… Let’s stay a few more days. “I felt like I shouldn’t go to the Imperial Capital now.”

“A feeling? Well, it’s like a revelation like a saint.”

Adella frowned for a moment, but then nodded as if she would respect the warrior’s judgment.

And he said while looking at the watchtower standing in the distance.

“I’m quite familiar with the form of barrier magic and the waves of magic power… . Did that old man not die but just crawl out?”

“Do you know someone?”

“I know, I know. “Because I crushed his left leg.”

Contrary to appearances, she was counted among the top three in the Holy Order in terms of seniority. When the Clyde Empire waged wars of conquest, she had many times kicked up the sparks that had been splattered for no reason.

Grania, the former Mage Tower lord.

It was at that time that I faced the archmage as an enemy.

“I heard that after the disciple ascended to the 7th rank, he returned to the border territory to do research, but I don’t know why he came back to Portroy.”

Adela looked puzzled because she had nothing to figure out, but Leon and the others hardened their faces when they remembered Dayton’s case.

Unless you came of your own volition.

“ah.”

It was that moment.

Suddenly, Adela’s eyes widened, and she clenched her fists as she urgently looked in the direction of the watchtower.

Besides her, only El Cid realized the reason.

[You’ve been discovered.]

‘what!?’

[In addition to the barrier that surrounds the castle wall, it appears to have also been used as a periodic search magic. A broad wave of magic passed by once.]

‘No, you’re going to get caught like that?’

Although she has not gone into full-scale hiding like Karen, the aura has been thoroughly calmed and even the flow has stopped.

But I was caught even though I only passed by once and widely using magic power? It was a result that could never be understood by a non-magician.

[For a wizard, my area is like the body. Even if you can’t completely control it like a drone, it’s easy to recognize when a foreign object comes in.]

Even before El Cid’s explanation was finished, all four people felt a huge presence approaching their senses.

It was a different feeling from the Auror Master.

A vortex of power.

Suddenly, as if caught in the eye of a typhoon, the energy in the area stopped moving and became quiet. If the Aura Master cuts out the world with his body and abilities, the Archmage controls the world with his wisdom and magic.

“――It’s been a while since I’ve seen you.”

Suddenly, a man appeared above the heads of the four people.

The robe wrapped around her entire body, and only her old, gray face came out and looked straight down at Adela.

It’s a gaze that doesn’t give the slightest hint of liking.

The Clyde Empire’s former magic tower master spoke while glaring at Adella with eyes filled with hostility.

“I don’t remember sending an invitation. Why is the Holy Church’s wild boar entering my territory?”

“… wild boar?”

A crunching sound came from Adela’s clenched molars.
