Level up with swords (225)
The characteristic of those who held the position of cardinal in the Holy Order was that they each had one clear specialty.
Adela was like that too.
As a gnome, they sublimated their vibration-sensitive constitution into martial arts, achieving destructive power that is not restricted by their small size. Angela, whom she accepted as her disciple, was also one of the top five members of the Knights of the Castle Iron Chain, but compared to her, she was only at a level where she had not even grown up.
〈Super Vibration〉.
The power to cause the auror itself to vibrate at ultra-high speeds, completely destroying all objects regardless of material strength.
“Juk–uh–raaaaa!”
When Adela, who has exploded the tentacle monster with one blow, throws her fist, the air ripples and a shock wave comes out.
Unlike 〈Vibrato〉, which is specialized for close combat, it is a technique specialized for long distance combat.
Tremolo
A wave of material collapse was aimed at Morse.
“… It’s dangerous. “Is the destructive power similar to that of Necator?”
Morse could not downplay its power and dodged away.
Both the purple flame and the bundle of tentacles break into small pieces and scatter as soon as they touch the 〈Tremolo〉.
Absurd attack power!
It’s a regenerative ability, but if you grind away every last bit of flesh, it’s meaningless. The time spent fighting against the foreign magistrate was not even a day or two. I was familiar with dozens of my opponent’s weaknesses and strategies.
“ɯʗɣɖɢŭʊɕɧɧɨɩɬɭɮ!”
The moment Adela was about to launch a second attack, Morse quickly chanted a spell and stretched out his hand.
At the same time, the pile of shattered tentacles evaporates and turns into fog. The fog, which gave off a nostril-piercing odor similar to the smell of sulfur, immediately transformed into an irregularly shaped monster.
The air centered around the fog turns deadly poisonous.
A corrosive fog that dissolves both organic and inorganic matter.
“plaguy!”
Adela was about to leap in the air once again, but instead of holding her fists, she opened her palms. With her ‘Super Vibration’, she can decompose even if it is a liquid or gas, but its efficiency is bound to be greatly lower than that of solids.
This was true even in cases where the volume was too large, like this fog monster.
Even if you erase part of the body with a shock wave, it will quickly multiply, so the correct strategy was to kill the caster quickly.
Paaaaaaaa!
When Adela clapped her hands once, the sound of the applause amplified and resounded like an explosion of music.
Dealing with vibration is the same as dealing with sound. It wasn’t difficult to turn a small noise into a loud explosion and amplify it into a shock wave.
As the fog hit by the shock wave was pushed back, Adela was able to land without a single scratch.
“Irexana.”
“yes.”
At some point, Irexana came up next to her and answered.
“I kill Mors. “You take care of the rest.”
“All right.”
“Something must have been done to this space as well. So, try to leave some room for it.”
After deciding on a battle strategy through a short conversation, the two charged in head-on without any hesitation.
Irexana went first and swung two axes.
Jugendsteel No.200, No.201.
A pair of axes made of special metal, ‘Eyes of the Goddess’, spurted out strong flames.
Kieeeeek!
It is one of the weaknesses of gas-type monsters.
Vulnerability to high or low temperatures. The blow that penetrated that area all at once caused the fog monster to struggle and scatter in all directions.
And Adela was not the one who would miss that gap.
“Morsuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!!”
It charges like a wild boar while screaming the enemy’s name.
As the title of “Maeng Jin” suggests, the force was truly terrifying. Morse also swallowed dryly under his mask. It is impossible to stop that rush, let alone stop it, with any reasonable method.
There is no chance of winning in close combat.
In that case, you need to turn over a card.
“I can’t help it.”
An evil light shone from the mask Morse wore.
Under normal circumstances, if he had engaged the two cardinals, he would have been outnumbered and killed before he could hold out for long.
However, what if the population of the ecliptic Karelum has offered a ‘living sacrifice’ of hundreds of thousands, possibly over a million? There was a separate purpose for the human sacrifice, but the waste alone was enormous.
So much so that even monsters that should normally not be summoned can be summoned with a single wave of the hand.
“ɧɧɨɩɬɭɧɧɨɩɬɭɣɖɢŭɯʗɣ!”
Then, the black crystal in his arms shattered, and the fog that had been dispersed by Irexana disappeared, letting out a scream.
After swallowing up the grudges of 100,000 people, a high-ranking being from the Ghost Path answered the call!
Guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu… !
The air split before Adela’s eyes.
For a moment, the malice that overflowed from within him was so thick that it even caused dizziness, and Adela stopped walking without being able to go any further. She might die if she turns her back.
It was right after that.
[…] It’s been a long time since I was summoned to the material world.]
Arms with nails that sprouted out ugly like reptiles, skin that was ugly and distorted, and blood vessels that glowed red like lava stuck out.
From arms to shoulders, shoulders to waist, waist to feet.
It was a monster with the lower body of a scorpion and the upper body of a human.
When the monster about 4 meters tall revealed itself, both Irexana and Adella let out a sigh. This is because it was a monster that appeared once in old records.
Adela muttered the name as if chewing it.
“Agwido’s transcendental species, is it a ‘predator’…? !”
Another name is Devourer.

——————
A gluttonous demon that eats all living things and non-living things. Its power far exceeds the level of the <Winter Serpent> that was previously summoned to Radoga territory.
‘Aguido’ is a world where food is scarce and there is no concept of satiety, so people feast on each other from birth to death.
It constantly eats, and the more it eats, the stronger it becomes.
[Are they followers of God? It’s been a while since I tasted a delicacy.]
The Devourer looked at the two cardinals and smiled eerily.
I don’t even feel any hostility.
All that appeared in the eyes of the six pairs of eyes was an appetite that had subsided to the point of inexhaustibility. Morse just summoned him, but he couldn’t control him as he pleased. He was someone who joined in for no reason and could be repulsed for ruining the taste of the ‘meal’.
“That’s it.”
Morse, who had returned his transformed body, turned his back on them.
“I’m sorry, but I don’t have time to hang out any more. If you survive, we’ll meet again at the White Palace.”
The two couldn’t answer.
It felt like the monster in front of me would lunge at me if I tried to touch my lips even once. A moment of inattention causes anger. The cardinals, who knew this well, did not let down their guard at all.
The Devourer also saw through that fact.
I understood that it was not prey that could be toyed with, but rather prey that had to be slain with great effort.
[good. Shall we hang out sometime?]
The moment the Devourer first showed signs of life, the two leaped in two directions almost simultaneously, deploying their auras.
It’s different from when fighting Mors.
This was an opponent that could not be spared even an inch.
Tremolo
Quartet of Palm
Adela went ahead and sent out four shock waves in succession.
It is so destructive that the space can be seen with the naked eye.
Even though Devourer saw that, he didn’t dodge and instead attacked with his body.
Crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
A thunderous boom resounds.
The floor tiles are overturned, and the pillars of the villa are cracked and shaking. There was no way a palace built for residential purposes could handle her strength.
nevertheless.
[It hurts quite a bit. For a small female, she’s quite strong!]
The Devourer broke through the dust cloud and stomped out its front paw.
The scorpion’s unique claws quickly surpass the speed of sound and reach Adela at a very short distance. If you hit it directly, you won’t be able to remove even a single piece of bone.
Adela held out both fists in response to the counterattack.
Vibrato
Duet of Fist
When the fist wrapped in <Ultra Vibration> collided with the Devourer’s foot, the two beings were thrown away with an explosion.
Adela takes four steps, Devourer takes one step.
The difference in power was clear.
but.
Whoa!
An ax flew at incredible speed and struck the Devourer’s body, making him take three more steps back.
It is an attack wrapped with divine power in the <Auror Blade>.
The Devourer, who had a deep cut in the middle of his torso, gritted his teeth. Blood that was as poisonous as poison flowed from the wound.
[Are you planning on hunting me down? How dare prey… !]
“You’ll only know who gets eaten once it’s over.”
Irexana grasped the ax that had returned to her hand, summoning all the strength in her body.
Auror, elemental power, divine power.
As the three types of power fuse, they are amplified several times.
Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo!
Against him, Devourer also showed off his abilities.
The physical abilities developed as a predator are basic, but their true meaning lies in the paranormal abilities they possess as a transcendent species. There were few races that specialized only in hand-to-hand combat like the Asuras.
Something like a magical eye that petrifies the target.
Something like a flame that burns vitality.
Paranormal ability is a power whose method of operation is several levels higher than that of magic, and which is impossible to destroy.
[―――――――――――.]
It’s not a language.
The reason communication was possible so far was because the Devourer directed his thoughts at the two people.
The man’s thoughts resound softly.
I don’t know what kind of ability it is or its scope. The best the two could do was to respond with all their might.
“hmm?!”
Irexana sensed the change first.
It flows from inside the villa and from outside the villa. It’s an unfathomable number. The sound of an enormous number of footsteps and the vibration of pounding the ground was approaching the villa.
Nevertheless, what is mysterious is that there is not a single life reaction.
There was no way that a being that could even avoid the Aura Master’s spirit was that common.
“… “This must be dangerous, right?”
Adela broke into a cold sweat without realizing it.
While keeping the Devourer in check, he only turns one eye to look out the window.
What comes into view is,
“No way, Necromancy in this situation!”
It was a feast of corpses filling the city.
The exhibitions of death and evil that were decorated throughout the city took on false life when they encountered the Devourer’s paranormal abilities.
It is so ugly that it makes you feel nauseous just looking at it. The corpses that had turned into undead writhed as if they had become objects.
[They are people whose souls have been drained and only their shells remain, but if they gather this many people, there is a way to use them.]
The Devourer sneered lowly.
Corpses gather as if responding to the sound of laughter. The corpses gathered in one place gradually grew in size as they trampled, trampled, and crushed each other.
Bones and flesh become intertwined and turn into one lump.
It was a different form from a human.
A long neck extends below the head, and a pair of arms and legs are attached to the thick body, with claws set at the ends.
Instead of the beautifully grown scales, the surface is covered with bones, and the inside is filled with rotten chunks of meat. The massive figure, which is over 50 meters long from head to toe, is quickly being completed.
[I don’t know if it exists in this world, but wasn’t it made pretty well? I tried using lizards with high noses as a motif.]
“… This.”
Irexana recognized the sculpture and opened her eyes wide.
“Zombie Dragon?!”
[To be exact, it is Flesh-DragonGolem.]
Devourer spoke like an artist introducing his work.
[The bones were hardened to make scales and framework, and the muscle fibers were compressed to the maximum to make tough flesh. And I condensed the remaining resentment and soul fragments to build a core. Is it possible to collect poison and shoot breath?]
As soon as his introduction was over, the zombie dragon’s eyes opened.
The lens, which only imitated the shape and did not function as an eye, looked down at the villa with cloudy pupils.
Even though it has great power, it is ultimately a flesh golem.
Even if the remaining thoughts were combined, there was no sublimation to intelligence.
So that monster,
[Hehe, this makes it 2-2. Let’s see how far you can struggle!]
It meant being a thorough servant of the Devourer.
Goooooooooooooooooo―――!!
The full-scale battle resumed with a terrible roar.
The zombie dragon moved before anyone else.
It opened its rotten maw wide and spewed out a lot of the venom that had accumulated in its stomach. As the Devourer said, the poison extracted from his corpse was shot like a breath.
The breath itself did not have much physical power, but the star palace that came into contact with the poison began to corrode at a rapid rate.
A deadly poison that decomposes even high-quality building materials in just a few minutes!
“「Goddess, please pray for the safety of this body. Please do not let anything harmful or evil come to me. “Don’t let anything that you can’t eat or drink touch the tip of your tongue.”
Irexana quickly enveloped him and Adela with holy magic.
It was <Mugang>, a sacred law that drives away diseases and poisons.
As the two people jumped out the window, enveloped in pure white light, the villa collapsed.
Kugugugugugung… !
The Devourer quickly approaches after them.
It swung its two claws wide and tore up the dust cloud, and the one who found Irexana lashed out its tail.
Whoa!
Even though I block the two axes by crossing them, my body bounces off.
Even with Irexana’s mighty strength, she couldn’t do it from the front.
If you are pushed by force, use finesse.
The essence of martial arts is to attack the strong as the weak. With that thought in mind, Lexana opened her eyes and suddenly threw down the ax she was clutching in her right hand.
It was to prevent his pursuit and follow-up attacks.
[You’re throwing away your weapon. Are you going to die like this?]
When the Devourer, who easily flicked the ax away with her claws, asked, Irexana shook her head once and answered.
“no way. “I just thought an ax wasn’t enough.”
[what?]
Before I knew it, Irexana was holding a spear in her right hand.
“Jugendstil No.154, ‘Spiral Wedge’.”
Irexana took out a spear made of adamantium with a spiral-shaped blade and threw it.
Even though he threw it with only his shoulder and arm strength, without having to go up to his waist, he easily broke the speed of sound. Not only was his physical strength ridiculously strong, but it was thanks to his spear’s ability to even break through air resistance.
Bye!
As the Devourer tried to hit the spear with his claws, his eyes widened as he felt a sharp pain.
It was pierced.
Although it did not penetrate completely, the spear penetrated deep into the carapace of the claw. The Devourer pulled out the spear with its other claw and growled fiercely.
[You’re doing something unbecoming. Don’t you have any pride as a warrior?]
“That sounds trivial.”
Irexana lightly returned the provocation and this time took out three daggers and a scythe.
Just like the spear thrown earlier, they are all Jugendsteel.
These were masterpieces created by Irexana herself in the past.
“I use a weapon I made myself. Is there any reason to be ashamed of that action? At least, I don’t think it’s something someone who rubs other people’s corpses as he pleases would say.”
On the other side, loud noises and shock waves are heard, as if the fight between the zombie dragon and Adela has begun.
Irexana read the battle situation from the aftermath.
It seemed like the tide was in her favor, but it was a battle she couldn’t win. If there was no way to evaporate a volume exceeding 50 meters in one shot, the zombie dragon could be revived indefinitely until the user fell.
So, Irexana planned to reveal a little of her wealth.
‘The number of Jugendstil brought from the home country is 34. The kind that can be used against that monster… Is it about 11? If all expendable weapons are mobilized, the odds of winning are over 50%. The problem is of course time.’
The posture is completed by inserting three daggers into the joints of the left hand and holding the hilt of the scythe with the right hand.
This is a posture that does not exist in any martial art in the world.
Even the anomalies were a few steps beyond the extraordinary.
It was a level reached only by Irexana, who could perfectly handle dozens of types of weapons.
Truly a Weapon-Master.
“Okay, let’s continue.”
Irexana took a confident step forward and raised her scythe.
“Because I and Cardinal Adela are not free enough to keep playing with you.”
[…] In that case, I guess I’ll have to keep you guys busy.]
The Devourer, who had recovered all of the claws that had been pierced by the spear, roared.
[I’ll let you melt together in my stomach!]
