Overpowered Sword Chapter 227

Level up with swords (227)

Each type of weapon has advantages and disadvantages.

It was common sense, even obvious.

Even if you have learned martial arts properly, you cannot fail to know it. The long spear is long and sharp, so it can unilaterally stab or cut from a long distance, and the hammer is hard and heavy, so it can produce effective destructive power even on the enemy’s armor.

If you fight at a distance of 50 steps, a bow is stronger than a sword that can cut through steel, and if you fight at a distance of 30 cm, a dagger that is shorter and lighter than a spear is much more powerful.

In the end, the king of all diseases was nothing more than an illusion. This was because the ranks of the armed forces continued to fluctuate depending on the given situation.

There are times when a sword is stronger than a spear, and times when a spear is stronger than a bow, and there are many cases where the opposite is true.

Therefore, discussing the strongest weapon is meaningless.

but.

Wow!

The Devourer was thrown away with a loud noise and vomited blood.

[bloke… ! How many weapons do you have hidden away?]

“well.”

Irexana answered those words with a calm face.

The warhammer I had just swung had suddenly turned into a spear nearly 3 meters long. It was a method that anyone familiar with combat would know, using a subspace bracelet to instantly change weapons.

Karen used it to supplement her throwing daggers or to draw weapons directly from her bare hands, but Irexana’s case was a bit different.

Whoops!

A ray of lightning rushes by.

With your legs planted into the ground like two pillars, you rotate your waist and arms and accelerate using the centrifugal force.

The basic and ultimate skill of the spear is Thrust.

The Devourer blocked it with its claws and took two steps back. Even though he blocked it with the hardest part, it was of this magnitude, so if it had hit his torso, it would have had such destructive force that it would have opened a large hole.

[There is no way!]

The strength of the thrust lies in its speed, power, and the ability to strike it multiple times in succession.

The Devourer knew this well from his long combat experience. How should he react in this situation to completely block Chang’s strengths?

First, raise both claws to prepare for the next attack.

And if you move the tail that exists in the blind spot of vision and aim for the lower body, which can be said to be the base of the attack—

puck!

At that time, a hole opened in the center of the Devourer’s abdomen.

At first, it was a little smaller than the size of a coin, but the shock wave that erupted after penetration widened the wound even further.

[Wow! Yes, you… ?!]

“Make them retreat with a spear and then shoot them with a bow. The more experience you have, the better it works. “There were many who reacted like you did.”

Slowly lowering the longbow held in her left hand, Irexana changed weapons again.

shield and sword.

Like the ones previously written, it was an unusual-looking weapon.

“-going.”

Irexana uttered a low word and rushed forward.

Because he had been concentrating on hitting and running since the fight started, the Devourer’s reaction was a step late.

Even that off-beat is a tactic he assumed.

In an instant, Irexana, who had dug into the Devourer’s arms, stretched out her shield and reflexively released a slashing claw. Perfect parrying. It was a level that could only be reached by practicing shield techniques for decades.

Wow!

The sword’s body flickers like flames, and the wound cut by Flamberge burns red and melts the carapace. It was Jugendsteel No. 196 ‘Magma Blade’, a sword that causes melting after cutting.

Devourer was also startled by the pain and struggled, but by then Irexana had already taken a few steps back.

The sword and shield disappeared from his grasp, and he was holding three boomerangs and a scimitar.

[Kaaaa!! This cockroach-like bastard!]

After being toyed with so many times, the Devourer’s patience finally reached its end, and he rushed forward while screaming.

I was planning to kill him even if it meant taking some damage.

Otherwise, it will wither and die like now.

As dozens of types of weapons are freely converted and utilized, the number of cases is divided again and again, creating tens of thousands of possibilities. No matter how the Devourer reacted, he could use the method of destruction, so there was no fight regardless of the outcome.

however.

“I knew so.”

The three boomerangs that escaped Irexana’s hand flew off in different trajectories and crashed into the ground.

At the same time, the inside of the triangle centered on the three boomerangs and Devourer suddenly froze.

It was Jugendsteel No.133 ‘Triple Ice Stars’.

The Devourer’s magic resistance was so high that it could only be restrained for a few seconds, but that was enough.

Sigh!

Without fail, it cuts off a leg with one slash and retreats again. Exquisite adjustment of spacing. The Devourer, who had regained his freedom, rushed at him furiously, but Lexana’s throw, which had already brought out a harpoon, stopped his charge.

Sword, spear, hammer, axe, bow, dagger, urmiga.

Weapons that even veteran knights don’t know the names of are coming out.

[Kaaaaaaaa!!]

No matter how many times you run in, the same situation repeats itself.

Irexana’s physical abilities and aura were powerful. Although the Devourer had a slight advantage, it was not an overwhelming gap.

If you rush at it recklessly, you will suffer fatal injuries.

Because they saw through this, they raised a zombie dragon and tried to kill it one-on-one, but Irexana was stronger than expected. As if the scale of power is not everything, as if it shows what a hundred martial arts skills are.

It might have been better to induce a 2-on-2 melee.

[…] It’s annoying. I never imagined that I would be cornered this far by low-level scum.]

The Devourer must have cooled down after losing blood, and glared at Irexana with a cold face.

The real fight starts from here.

Irexana also sensed this and summoned two axes.

The golden ax and the silver axe are the ‘Eyes of the Goddess’, which were also used to defeat Cordia, the Bishop of Despair. Even if you were a Weapon Master, there was at least one weapon that you were particularly good at.

[kill. I will kill you by chewing on you for as long as possible.]

The Devourer began to transform with that dry proclamation.

His 4 meter tall physique also shrunk.

Did you feel the need to move more nimbly than now?

The six legs are reduced to two like a human, and the carapace that used to be claws wraps around the entire body like plate mail. Only the tail remained, but its sleek, straight shape looked just like a spear or whip.

Irexana, who sensed strength from that image, stiffened.

‘This… ‘It’s dangerous.’

Until now, he had been concentrating on hunting them down, but in the end, the series of actions were nothing more than ‘play’.

Agwido’s transcendental species.

There was no way that the arrogance of a race that dominated a world could respect a few powerful people in a lower dimension. The guy who had decided to go on a killing spree was now much more dangerous than a few seconds ago.

“Hehe.”

Nevertheless, Irexana smiled lightly.

If it’s like this, it’s worth a try.

It’s just a little stronger than expected. I didn’t think it was an opponent I couldn’t beat. Since I can’t spare even an ounce of energy, I’ll have to leave the rest of the fight to others-

‘If it’s the warrior and his companions, they’ll be fine without me.’

Irexana unconsciously looked in one direction of Karelum.

This was because a strong divine power was felt from the place where Adela, who had taken flight with the zombie dragon a little while ago, was headed.

If the divine power is several times greater than that of a cardinal, there is only one person.

“… There’s no need to worry anymore. “I felt relieved.”

There is no need to look back now.

As soon as she realized this, a storm-like force erupted around Irexana’s body. The spirits of earth and fire responded, causing the surface of the area to boil like magma, and this Lexana’s natural auror resonated with dozens of weapons, enhancing his function.

Lastly, the divine power and the ‘Stigmata of the Leader’ resonated, allowing me to recognize the enemy that needed to be annihilated and go beyond my limits.

[bloke! How dare you save your strength in front of me!]

“Well, rest assured. “This is it.”

Irexana said as she aimed her two battle axes.

“The Third Cardinal of the Holy Order, Irexana. “I will finish my role in this temple with your supply and demand.”

[…] … It’s a mess. Don’t act arrogant like you won it all!!]

Immediately after that, a huge shock wave exploded.

* * *

When Leon and his group followed Adella and reached the vicinity of the villa, they had to hold their breath.

According to Adela’s words, there were only two people who collided in this place.

The only transcendental species from the outer dimension summoned by Chaos Bishop Mors were Devourer and Irexana. But what on earth are these ruins that seem to have been swept away by this earthquake?

Fortunately, all the corpses were consumed in the construction of the zombie dragon, so the ruins were not decorated with blood and flesh.

There were only collapsed buildings and their debris lying all over the place.

“That!”

It was then.

Karen saw something sparkling in the pile of rubble and approached it.

The rest of the people noticed it too and their eyes widened.

“… “The Cardinal’s axe, right?”

Leon muttered in a trembling voice without realizing it.

“Ugh, <Eyes of the Goddess>, yes. “A battle ax made as a pair.”

Adela looked closely at the golden-yellow axe, or more precisely, the fragment that corresponded to it, and nodded.

The 200th Jugendsteel made of Orichalcon.

One of the main weapons that symbolize Irexana.

The fact that the weapon was found in pieces like this,

“Don’t worry, little ones.”

Adela threw away the piece in her hand with a sad look on her face.

“This wasn’t destroyed. ‘Destroyed’ it.”

“yes? “The Cardinal destroyed his own weapon?”

“It’s one of Irexana’s five secrets. “I don’t use it often because it puts too much strain on my body and weapons, but I guess this was a situation where I had to use it.”

Irexana was undoubtedly a master, but the weapons she wielded were not swords, spears, or axes. His essence is a blacksmith. Manufacturing weapons and refining their functions is the main job.

〈Auror Blade〉 was also like that.

“Bringing out a power that goes several levels beyond the inherent limitations of the weapon, and even creating and using the ego. “That was the power that Irexana awakened as a master.”

However, weapons that had surpassed their limits with Irexana’s Auror Blade received the recoil back.

Even well-made weapons like Jugendsteel were damaged after being activated three or four times, and low-quality weapons were reduced to dust before they were even used properly.

For Irexana, who had love and pride in the weapons she made as a blacksmith, the price was too harsh.

“But weapons are eventually used up. I’ve never missed the right time to use it. And when he activates <Auror Blade>, he is at a level that can compete with the second-ranked member of the Evil Church.”

So, Adela started walking first.

“Don’t worry too much and just follow along. “Waiting here won’t help anything.”

After spending an hour listening to her words, Leon and the others passed by the ruins of a completely collapsed villa. It was quite shabby considering the remains of a palace that had boasted its extravagant grandeur only half a day ago.

How many more minutes did I have to walk?

The fight between Irexana and the Devourer must have continued for quite some time, with long traces of it remaining.

“It’s this way.”

Perhaps reading the faint vibration, Adela found Irexana without even wandering down the street.

Traces of a fierce battle.

Since everyone in the group was a skilled warrior, it was possible to guess what kind of fight took place just from the traces.

A life-or-death battle between a monster whose level of risk is impossible to measure and a warrior who is as close to a grandmaster as possible!

‘There are many orbits that I don’t understand. I guess it’s a technique that originated from Cardinal Irexana’s Auror Blade, right?’

[I guess so. It is a type of swordsmanship, and the better the original function of the weapon, the more powerful it becomes.]

While El Cid and Leon exchanged a few words about Irexana’s “Auror Blade,” he finally appeared.

Leaning her battered body against the pillar of the ruins, Irexana lifted her half-closed eyelids.

As always, a gentle smile appeared on his lips.

“… “You’re here.”

There was only one left, the silver-grey ax of “Eyes of the Goddess,” shining pitifully in his right hand.
