Overpowered Sword Chapter 223

Level up with swords (223)

Even for immortal magicians, the heart and brain are fatal vital points.

The brain was where the soul resided, and the heart was the source of life force. Even if only one of the two is destroyed, more than half of its regenerative ability is lost.

But in Necator’s case, it was more than that.

“You, really?!”

Leon’s eyes widened.

Does not play.

Even if it was a fatal wound, there was no way that the Exorcist’s external technique could be neutralized by piercing the heart once, but Necator’s body, which had lost his heart, was dying quickly.

The reason was simple.

“… Didn’t you gain immortality? “From the beginning?”

“okay.”

“why?”

Necator spat out the bloody spit and answered.

“It’s not fun, right? In a fight, there is always a winner and a loser, and the loser dies or is taken away. “That’s the only rule, so why fight if you don’t intend to keep even that?”

“You’re crazy.”

“What’s new?”

Necator laughed at one word from Leon.

It was indeed as he said.

Being able to think rationally and communicate with language did not change the essence. He cannot feel his life unless he is in the midst of struggle and slaughter, and that is the true nature of Necator.

So, even when faced with the person who took his life, he is convinced that it is a natural ending for the loser.

“I wanted to enjoy it more if possible, but I guess that’s where I’m at. It’s your victory. Even if you don’t hit its head, it will die quickly, but if you want to cut it, do whatever you want.”

It was a voice so reassuring that I didn’t know who the loser was.

Maybe this ending was exactly what he wanted.

Creepy.

It was then.

The tension that had relaxed for a moment due to Necator’s expression of letting go of everything returned as a chill that would freeze my spine.

A fleeting moment.

Only Leon raised his sword in response to the unexpected blow.

Wow!

Leon, who was blown tens of meters by the tremendous shock, barely managed to right himself. He put his feet in and tried to stop the car, but it was enough to create two deep furrows in the ground.

This was not done by Necator, who was dying.

When Leon looked back in the direction he had flown from, he saw Necator glaring at his arm with a bored expression on his face.

The right arm is stained jet black.

It was <Surawan>.

“I’m not dead yet? “Isn’t this a breach of contract?”

Was it because of a contract to offer it after death?

The power that recognized Necator’s fatal wound, the ‘Yukbi’ of the Asura tribe, immediately moved to steal the body.

… Slowly… Coo…

The hole in the middle of the body is being filled.

As if replacing a broken heart, a mass of darkness fills the place, and the jet black flowing through the cardiovascular system paints the entire body black, reconstructing it as a non-human being.

Asura tribe.

It was the moment when the ruling race of Sura-do, a monster considered the highest among transcendental species existing in the outer dimension, was about to be born.

“Holy shit! I’m doing something ugly with my body. I’m sorry, but please kill me quickly! Otherwise, I think we’ll end up doing something like Resurrection Match!”

Necator also tried to suppress his body somehow, but control of his body, which even his heart had been eaten, had already been taken over by <Surawan>.

Even if you try to rush the attack clumsily, it will block and dodge autonomously.

Leon also had not recovered all the strength he had spent.

‘El Cid! ‘Is there any way to think of something?!’

[does not exist. You and your group are already exhausted to the limit. It’s not like anything can happen if you squeeze it out.]

“So,” said El Cid, beginning his prayer.

[Be sure to say thank you to the lady.]

“what?”

It was right after that.

A pillar of sacred light fell from the distant sky. Even Necator was unable to avoid or block it and was swept away by its majesty, and his body, which had been transformed into an Asura, burned fiercely.

〈Execution of Divine Punishment〉.

The sacred law that brought the light of the goddess into this world and expelled beings from the outer dimension crushed Necator.

“Elahan!?”

As if responding to Leon’s voice, Ellahan landed on the ground.

Quang!

I came in such a hurry that sweat was dripping from behind my tattered armor. Thanks to her immense divine power, even Ellahan, whose recovery ability was absurd, was taking her breath away.

Nevertheless, the flow of <Execution of Divine Punishment> does not stop.

Even with her overlapping hands trembling, she shouted at Necator, who was caught in the pillar of light.

“I speak to the evil bishop, Necator!”

The power of <Execution of Divine Punishment> was truly incredible.

〈Surawan〉, which had encroached on Necator, lost its influence and was on the verge of being exiled to Sura Island. But Necator’s soul, sold after his death, could not be free.

If Surawan is completely banished, his soul will also fall into Sura Island.

So Ellahan offered the last lifeline.

“Determine yourself! “If you end your own life even now, you can save your soul!”

Even Necator was speechless and dumbfounded by that, but then burst into laughter and shook his head.

“No, don’t ask for it. Even if you save someone like me, there is no way to repay your kindness. Like that friend said, I was not meant to be born as a human being.”

It was his true intentions without a single lie.

From birth to death, Necator continued to feel uncomfortable.

Respect your parents, be kind to your friends, trust your colleagues, and love your lover. He couldn’t understand an act that was natural to all humans. He couldn’t feel anything.

The power in my grasp was everything in my life, and I didn’t feel alive unless I was destroying others.

Can a being like that be called a human being?

“That one suits a guy like me better. “If you guys really want to save me, just leave me alone.”

Eventually, as the dimensional gap opened due to ‘Execution of Divine Punishment’, ‘Surawan’ began to be pushed back to where it was supposed to be.

Necator followed suit and was dragged into the outer dimension.

He waved his only remaining hand and said goodbye.

“Well, take care of the rest. “I’m going?”

It wasn’t something he should say when he was exiled to an outer dimension, but he left with a relieved face until the end.

When the light of <Divine Punishment> faded, there was no one there.

This was the end that Necator, the second-ranking member of the Evil Church, faced.

Everyone was silent.

The one who broke the calm atmosphere was Dominic, who finally disarmed the ‘Sacred Barrier’ and fell.

“Cardinal!”

Everyone rushed to check on his condition.

As the healing method unfolded, Anna’s face became confused as she looked inside.

“Luckily, my life will be saved, but I won’t be able to go to the front lines anymore. The price of ‘sacrifice’ was too great.”

“That can’t be… .”

In Necator’s decisive battle, blocking the <Emperor of the Six Paths> from the front and surviving was itself a miraculous achievement.

Thanks to this, Anna’s holy law was maintained, and Karen was able to outmanoeuvre Necator with ‘Jet Black Dance’. The person who struck the final blow was Leon, but his achievements were no less than his.

While Anna was taking care of Dominic, Leon asked Ellahan about the whole story that led up to this point.

“Thank you for your help. “What happened to the fight at the gate?”

“that is-“

Ellahan’s short explanation began.

* * *

The great battle that took place on the walls of the imperial capital Karelum ultimately ended in the victory of the five.

It was a natural ending.

Garbaldi’s head fell off with the crushing weapon, and Granger with the dual swords rolled around on the ground with only his upper body remaining. Robin was the only one left alive, holding his one-armed body together. At the point where he lost one of his arms, he was practically incapacitated.

“… It is pointless to resist any longer. Surrender, Robin.”

Walter said, holding his sword to Robin’s neck. Blood trickled down from the palm of her hand as she clutched the hilt of her sword. It was because she overexerted herself and several of her fingers were blown off.

Although it was a 3-on-5 fight, the process was by no means smooth.

The masters who were not in their right mind went beyond the limits of their own bodies and went on a rampage, attacking with methods that even Dongguijin did not care about. It’s not just Walter. Thanks to the <Sacred Barrier>, all of the personnel except Ellahan, who was not seriously injured, were tattered in various ways.

“I can’t surrender. I am bound by a contract. “If you’re going to subdue me, it would be a good idea to at least put a restraint on me.”

“You didn’t fight voluntarily.”

“That’s the same for those friends.”

Robin looked at the corpses of Garbaldi and Granger with bitter eyes. The situation in which he was betrayed by the imperial family, to which he had devoted all his loyalty, and reduced to a puppet of an evil cult was truly pitiful.

The only reason he had reason left was to use it thoroughly as a command tower.

Even as a bowman, he was much stronger at preserving his reason.

“Then why did you become their limb? Even if <Exorcism> had come forward, there would have been no means to make the masters obey. Otherwise, the evil church would have attacked the masters a long time ago.”

“Half right, half wrong.”

Robin answered Walter’s question with a dull expression.

“There were no means, but there were some ways. “Something like holding relatives, lovers, or students hostage.”

If you were someone like Cedric who worked alone, the masters of the empire’s prestigious families all had a lot to protect.

In the case of Grania, it was no different.

They target people around them, not the Master himself, and manipulate them to suit the tastes of the evil cult under the pretext of having no choice. Even the imperial family participated in the scheme, so the threatened masters had no room to do anything other than resist.

At that time, Adela suddenly intervened and asked Robin.

“Don’t go round and round, but quickly tell me the fake story they told you to confess to. “I still don’t have time.”

Walter and Cedric didn’t know what they were talking about so they just tilted their heads, but Robin meekly agreed to what they said.

The evil church knew.

What kind of information will they try to obtain by subduing and interrogating Robin, the only one remaining sane?

“The hostages are being held in one of the villas in the northern district of Karelum… He told me to say that. Were you expecting it?”

“Mors, I thought that bastard would do that.”

Adela’s face turned cold as she spat out blood.

It had to be that way.

Walter, who was listening to the two people talking from behind, cautiously intervened.

“It’s a trap. In this situation, teaching them the location of the hostages would have been a ploy to lure the three of them. “You can’t go over it.”

“I know. It’s more likely a trap. About 90%?”

Even as Adela said that, she decided on her own course.

“Still, we will go. I have no choice but to go. Morse knows that too, so he’s faking it. “If the hostages are really held there and die, the name of the church and the goddess will fall to the ground.”

“Foolish! “I plan to go even though I know it’s a trap!”

“Yes, it is.”

Irexana responded to Valther’s shout with a soft smile.

“The cow is sacrificed for the greater good. The Holy Church also follows that policy, but the limit to the ‘small’ sacrifice that can be made is even one’s own life. “There is no member of the church so shameless that they leave others to die and shamelessly use the word ‘sacrifice.’”

There is no room for compromise.

Sensing the gap, Walter gave up persuading and turned in the direction of Fermat’s army with Robin, whom he had restrained.

Cedric also seemed to have no intention of jumping into the fire pit on his own, so he headed towards the castle wall where the battle was still going on. It seemed like he was planning on stabbing the soldiers who had been transformed into immortals.

In the end, only three members of the Holy Church remained.

“Saint.”

“yes?”

Ellahan tilted his head at Irexana’s call.

“Go first. “Please stay by the warrior’s side and give us strength.”

“yes?! But I can’t leave just the two of you alone… ”

“Sweetheart, you’ve really grown up a lot since we haven’t seen each other, huh? Are you worried about us all?”

Adela abruptly interrupted Ellahan who was trying to object and expressed her opinion by giggling.

You don’t need to come.

You have other things to do.

Ellahan, who guessed what that meant, looked like he was going to cry, but soon returned to his stern face and answered with all his might.

“All right. I will go to the hero’s aid. “May the Goddess’ protection follow your path ahead.”

“Yes, please take care of the hero.”

“Please take care of yourself too, and let’s meet again in good health?”

After exchanging a few words of farewell, Ellahan rushed into the castle with the force of a cannonball.

Adella and Irexana watched with pride on their faces, and then walked towards the place Robin had pointed out.

Into the trap prepared by Morse, the bishop of Chaos.
