Overpowered Sword Chapter 235

Level up with swords (235)

“Are you doing well?”

Adela muttered unconsciously as she looked at the outer wall of the White Palace, a wall that glowed pure white even in the middle of the night.

It has already been over an hour since Leon and his group entered the White Palace.

Since the group includes only six Aura Masters, it would be difficult for any trap to hold them back even for a moment. No matter how much the White Palace does not fight back with all its might, it will fall in less than half a day.

But I couldn’t help but feel at ease.

Because Morse, a villain who was better than anyone else in the evil church at getting someone into trouble, was the leader of the enemy.

If the tension is released even for a moment, it is enough to pierce the gap.

“Are you worried about the warrior’s group? sister.”

Anna, who was sitting next to me, turned around and asked a question.

As befits her nickname ‘Mokdong’, she approached everyone in a friendly way and knew how to get along well with them.

Adella nodded her head slightly and answered.

“Even with my abilities, there is no way to know what is going on inside the palace. The same goes for the warrior and the saint. “It’s frustrating because I feel like I’m leaving too heavy a burden on kids who aren’t even 30 yet.”

“I feel a little weird hearing that from my sister.”

Anna smiled with a faint expression on her face at those words.

The Fourth Cardinal, Adela of Maengjin, was one of the three cardinals in her age, but her face value was so low that she often felt cognitive dissonance when talking to her.

But what she said was something Anna could agree with.

Not only Adela, who had not yet fully recovered from her condition, but also Anna, whose strength was inferior, felt a little helpless.

Even though they had a coming-of-age ceremony, Leon and Ellahan are still young.

A warrior and a saint.

They, who were carrying a fate bigger and heavier than anyone else in this world, could not help but appear noble and dangerous.

“It’s not that I don’t trust those kids. “I just wanted to lighten the burden on my shoulders even a little.”

Adela’s eyes sank deeply.

Just thinking about what was going on beyond those tall castle walls made me feel a sense of self-destruction.

It was better to risk my life and fight like Irexana did.

Watching quietly was something I couldn’t do as an adult.

“Hehe, you’re always like that.”

“what?”

“Normally, she acts like a child, but at times like this, she overflows with maternal love like an older person. “She’s like a mother.”

“What kind of nonsense are you talking about to someone who isn’t even married, you idiot!”

Adela hit Anna’s head once in response to those words, but it wasn’t with much force. It wasn’t that she was angry, but it felt like she was letting go because she couldn’t stand her awkward atmosphere.

The castle knights standing guard near the two also smiled and shrugged their shoulders.

It was surprisingly well known even within the church.

The Fourth Cardinal’s attitude toward other people is like that of an adult who views children like a mother or grandmother.

Anna, who broke the serious mood, giggled and teased.

“Damn! Adela Maman! “Give me food!”

“This, this… !”

Adella’s face was bright red and she was shaking with her fists clenched, but she only looked cute rather than scary.

The air in the campground became a little softer.

It was that moment.

――――――Wow!

The vibrations that came from beyond the White Palace spread out to a radius of several kilometers, causing the group’s spirits to plummet.

So did the two cardinals.

Almost at the same time, Adela and Anna stiffened their faces and glared at the point where the unidentified wave started. It’s ominous. The feeling of disgust that crawled up my spine was a rejection characteristic of <Oibeop>.

It was by no means common for a foreign law that had not yet been activated to show such great foreshadowing.

“Anna.”

“Yes, sister. “I’ll get you ready.”

Realizing her intention in one word, Anna immediately began to gather all of the Seongcheolsae Knights.

The number of men was much smaller than that of the Revolutionary Army or the Fermat Army, so it was easy to assemble them. About 30 Seongcheolsaegi knights gathered with stern expressions.

Since they have been through all kinds of hardships before birth, it has been a long time since they realized that the previous wave originated from ‘Oibeop’.

“–come!”

Adela, who read the waves from several kilometers away, shouted fiercely.

At the same time, an enormous force erupted into the air.

It is a mass of malice whose form is unclear, like a dark red fog, and that makes your eyes sting just by looking at it. As soon as the clouds flowing leisurely in the night sky touch it, they turn black like dark clouds. It was an extravagant act on a scale large enough to engulf an entire city.

Adela looked.

The surface of the dark cloud momentarily distorted like a screaming human face.

“no way?!”

We didn’t fight the evil cult for a day or two.

If it was a method I had seen even once, I could destroy it, and even if it was a method I didn’t know, I could roughly guess its identity. In Adela’s experience, what causes the Death Mask phenomenon is clearly—

“Anna! Set a barrier with your kids! To ‘sanctuary’!”

“yes!”

As soon as Adella’s instructions were given, the entire Holy Iron Chain Knights, including Anna, moved in perfect order.

While the Revolutionary Army and the Fermat Army, who had not yet fully grasped the situation, just stared blankly, they formed a formation for group formation and raised their divine power.

Anna raised her voice as if to induce that power.

“「Sun and moon, the two eyes of the goddess who looks down on all things!」

Adela was the only one who broke away from the formation and glared at the darkness approaching them.

Her eyes shine golden and pierce reality.

Even though it wasn’t at the level of the ‘Stigmata of the Watcher’, it was easy to perform a stunt like this if you concentrated the holy power of a cardinal level into your eyes.

“Evil spirits, is it a colony made of ten thousand vengeful spirits?”

Adela, who saw through its identity, gritted her teeth.

It had to be that way.

These are souls who have been robbed of their right to return to rest and are forced to hate the living. The citizens of Karellum who knew nothing and became sacrifices to foreign laws, distorted their souls and did as they pleased.

Righteous anger boils through my blood.

“Nowhere in the world can sin be hidden, and nowhere in the world will mercy be left! Only those who have walked the right path will be proud before him. “On the day when the sun and moon rise at the same time, those who look up to the sky will get down on their knees and pray earnestly!”

The light overflowing from Anna blended with the Seongcheolsak Knights, becoming bigger and brighter, and before I knew it, it had surrounded hundreds of meters like a fence.

And when the intensity of the light reached its peak, Anna chanted one last verse.

“「The Goddess is watching us!」

Divine glory.

As the flash of light emitted without any sound swept all around, the darkness that had been rolling in like a wave was driven away.

The earth, which has temporarily become a sanctuary, rejects evil.

Then, the evil spirits facing the light screamed all at once.

■■■■■■■■―――!!

They lost their memories of life, lost their sense of self, and all that was left to them was the instinct to hate the living and the light.

The evil spirits attacked the ‘sanctuary’ one after another, heedless of the light that burned their bodies. Just like before death, the tattered body and the soul, which is closer to rags than a corpse, are disappearing in vain.

Compassion appeared in the eyes of the Seongcheolsaegi Knights who saw this.

Not only was it not enough to be innocently murdered, but even after death, he was cruelly used and had to return to nothingness.

Even by their own hands.

“Wake!”

At that time, Anna’s voice corrected the tremors in my heart.

“The only thing possible for us is to return those poor people to the arms of the Goddess! Get rid of all unnecessary thoughts! “Think only of the enemy in front of you and your colleagues standing shoulder to shoulder with you!”

The eyes of the Holy Knights became firm again.

They are also veterans who have experienced all kinds of hardships.

Even if Anna hadn’t reminded me, I would have been able to calm down in just a few minutes. But she couldn’t even waste a few minutes and had to raise her voice.

Thanks to the ‘Sanctuary’, evil spirits could not even approach the Holy Order’s station, but the Fermat Army and the Revolutionary Army were a different story.

Kkkkkk!

Finally, an evil spirit that narrowly escaped the ‘sanctuary’ revealed its teeth. It crossed the air like an arrow and pierced one of the watchdogs of Fermat’s army, which had not even grasped the situation yet.

No, the expression “pierced through” would be a bit wrong.

The moment the evil spirit entered his body, the soldier convulsed, twisted his body violently and bit into foam.

It was only a few seconds later.

“Grrr… That’s right! Graaaaa!”

“Philip, why are you doing that—kwaaaa!”

A soldier whose eyes were red and bloodshot, whose body had been taken over by an evil spirit, stabbed a comrade who was supporting him with his spear.

The fellow soldier died in an unexpected surprise attack.

That was the beginning.

It did not take long for one soldier whose body was taken over by an evil spirit to grow into ten, and from ten to a hundred. By protecting one’s body with auras, evil spirits could be repelled, but no single soldier possessed that level of skill.

Fermat Army and Revolutionary Army.

The wave of evil spirits that poured down on the two armies quickly permeated nearly 10,000 soldiers. The commanders, who gave up their troops with open eyes, were greatly embarrassed, but the only way to respond was to cut down a few evil spirits with swords.

“The takeover of an army using Possession is a masterpiece that is close to standard, but I had no idea it could be used on this scale… !”

I was completely caught off guard.

Adela realized that fact and looked around.

‘Our children can endure for as long as we can, but expanding the scope of ‘Sanctuary’ any further would cost too much. Even those who know how to use Aurors cannot survive if they are overwhelmed by overwhelming numbers.’

The Knights of Seongcheolsae, where each member is an expert in inaction, is more than capable of protecting themselves even if evil spirits flock to them in millions.

However, more than 90% of the Fermat Army and the Revolutionary Army were ordinary soldiers who could not handle even Aurors well, and the number of people who could resist evil spirits was at least ordinary knights.

Even if you were a common knight, if you had to deal with 100 soldiers possessed by evil spirits, you would be torn to death in no time. Another weakness was that it was difficult to cut down soldiers who had been allies just a moment ago.

“Tch, am I bound to take a loss like always?”

From a strategic point of view, it was right to leave this place immediately and prepare for the final battle.

The revolutionary army and the Fermat army were ultimately just a bunch of chaff.

I don’t know what kind of hand Morse would play, but it was a more certain decision to just let them die rather than expending the Holy Iron Slayer Knights to save them.

“shit!”

However, if he had been able to choose that option, he couldn’t have become a cardinal or even a knight of the Seongcheolsae.

It is nothing but hypocrisy to talk about the cause while ignoring the people who are dying before our eyes. The evil cult knew this, so they set a trap to lure the Holy Knights and have been using it for a long time.

Adela walked out with both fists clenched.

If the shock wave was released using a cardinal-level holy technique, even the evil spirit residing in the body could be extinguished.

‘But half of them will die… Because the other half can be saved.’

In one part of my head, I calmly calculate the casualties and stretch out my hands. If we use up all our strength here, we won’t have the strength to break through the castle gate later.

Nevertheless, we cannot stand by and watch.

Adela couldn’t help but laugh as she thought to herself, “It’s so stupid.”

‘I’m sorry, but I’ll have to leave the rest to you, kids.’

At that very moment when you decide to make that decision and take a step forward.

Creepy.

A creepy presence appeared behind me.

Space movement.

As if targeting the army in chaos, the person who should be in the depths of the White Palace has revealed himself. A man who is like a devil created out of chaos and whose face is unknown even though he is not wearing a mask.

〈Exorcism〉, Mors.

Adela, seeing him, took a fighting stance and shouted.

“잘도 기어나왔구나, 이 개새끼야! “I’ll kill you this time!”

“… “Is there one wild boar left?”

Morse was silent for a rare beat and then muttered.

“It’s a variable that couldn’t be assumed. Ah, I see. The prince’s guardian knight. Has that old man entered the master’s level? They exceeded the limit of 6 people, so they kept you as a spare. He thought he was one step ahead, but that doesn’t mean he’s an idiot either. “Maybe I was just lucky.”

Even though he encounters an unexpected person, he discovers the truth in just a few seconds.

Immediately after that, Morse and Adela’s eyes met.

The two foresaw each other’s actions without exchanging a single word. Regardless of who was first, ‘Outer Beop’ and ‘Chojindong’ burst out.

“ɨɩɬɭɮɯʗɣɖɢŭɕɕɱ!”

“Haaaab—!”

As Adela took a step forward and raised her palm, Morse took a step back and summoned a tentacle.

The flesh hit by the <vibrato> shatters.

Comma Buys only a few seconds of time.

Purple flames soared from behind the monster’s bloodied corpse.

“I can’t help it. “I will kill you right here, Adella.”

“under! And then they say they’re going to take me out again and then they make a fuss about it!”

They clash once again, exchanging murderous words.

In a hellish island where tens of thousands of troops were covered with evil spirits, the Fourth Cardinal of the Holy Order and the Bishop of Chaos rushed at each other.
