Overpowered Sword Chapter 244

Level up with swords (244)

—Gaaaaaa!!

〈Death King〉, hit by the light of Divine Punishment, desperately swung both palms to create several barriers, but there was no way he could block them with a hastily constructed barrier.

Divine glory.

It was a powerful and noble ritual that was considered the first among sacred methods that directly borrowed the power of the goddess.

The barrier built with power drawn from an external dimension was not an obstacle the size of a piece of paper, whether it was a hundred or a thousand pieces.

As the wall of ectoplasm melts like thin ice in front of a furnace, the body of the <Death King> beyond it also begins to burn.

A light flame that destroys unauthorized beings in this world!

“uh? “Huh?”

As Leon looked at the majestic scene, he suddenly felt a power flowing into his body and was taken aback.

The aura that had been scraped to the bottom was flowing abundantly.

[Why are you so surprised?]

El Cid said bitterly.

[How many times have the Holy Church kids said that? It is said that a warrior is an agent of the goddess. The light pouring down from the sky right now is the source of the power given to the warrior. So, it is possible to recover at several times the normal speed.]

It was indeed as he said.

The stigmata carved all over Leon’s body shined so brightly that they could be seen even through his clothes. It was to accept as much as possible the divine power, the power with the highest purity in this world.

The fatigue that made every bone throbbing and the dizziness that hit me every time I took a deep breath all disappeared.

I felt like I had returned to before the battle with the <Dead Spirit King>.

‘No, it might be better than that.’

As if the goddess had personally blessed him, his physical abilities and auras had increased significantly more than usual.

[Others won’t be able to use it. It seems that the saintly lady also used up all her energy while participating in the invocation of <Divine Punishment>.]

‘Ellahan?’

[It is said that the amount of sacred power is the highest ever, but it is not infinite. Even if we had continued to fight without resting even for a moment, we would have been overexerting ourselves.]

‘is it… .’

Only then was Leon able to look beyond himself and look at the conditions of others.

Both Ellahan and Karen were already at their limits.

For some reason, Cedric seemed to have a bit of strength, but other than that, so did the cardinals, Walter, and Gilbert. There were only two people left who could respond to any unexpected situation.

and.

—That drama, that drama, that drama…

With a groan as if his soul was being drained, the large figure of the <Devil King> began to shrink, and in just a few minutes, it was reduced to about 10 meters.

Because of the rapid contraction, Apophis couldn’t hold on any longer and lost the guy. The snake’s body, which had been wrapped around the lower body, returned underground, and its eyes glowed with an ominous glow in the darkness.

If the situation arises, the plan is to jump out again and target prey.

‘That’s fine as long as you don’t approach the hole.’

Leon, conscious of the holy sword in his grasp, took a step closer to the <Devil King>, who was still lying on the ground.

I no longer felt the ‘status’ of a transcendent person.

Even a mortal attack can be enough to defeat it.

Grand Chariot

The golden light blends in with the silver blade of the holy sword.

Cedric looked a bit surprised when he saw that. Could it be that I didn’t know that Leon had that much energy left?

Leon only recovered thanks to the light of Divine Punishment, but there was no need to explain or convince him of this situation. To make sure he blows off the guy’s head, he closes the distance by one step again.

The remaining distance to <Spirit King> is about 50 meters.

To definitely finish him off, he had to get up to 30 meters away.

Suuuuuuuuuuu…

The unconsciously developed walking method even erases the vibration of weight movement, turning the presence into complete silence.

It is so secretive that even Leon himself is surprised.

One step, two steps.

When you approach like that and leave exactly 5 meters behind.

Gurgling.

The body of the <Dead Spirit King>, which had been lying down like a corpse, shook once. As if I had rigor mortis, or as if my legs were cramping from sitting in a bad posture.

Only Leon, who was nearby, could feel it.

Creepy.

The reaper’s scythe sweeping down my back.

Area of ​​comma 1 second.

Leon immediately returned the holy sword to its middle position and concentrated all of the power that had been achieved just before the activation of the <Seven-Star Sword> into a defensive stance.

It was right after that.

Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!

With a tremendous impact, Leon was thrown dozens of meters away.

It is a shock that could have resulted in instant death if this had been allowed without protection. Even though he lost most of his power, is <Death King> this strong?

In Leon’s mind, that question and a strange feeling of déjà vu intertwined.

It was an unexpected counterattack, but why?

‘I feel like I experienced it once recently.’

As soon as he regained his posture, Leon looked ahead and his eyes widened.

It had to be that way.

The translucent body of the <Death King>, protruding from its shoulders, was that of an enemy I had faced before. Jet black arms, a body made of sinister writhing darkness.

“What, Surawan (修羅腕)?! how!”

The power that Necator, the second-ranking member of the Evil Church, received through a contract.

The arms of the transcendent species Asura were protruding from the ‘Spirit King’.

—… … Wow, that was arrogant. I should have known long ago that I couldn’t handle madness on my own.

After throwing Leon away with a single punch, the <Devil King> leisurely stood up on his own. Even though he lost most of his power due to the masters’ concerted attack and divine punishment, he seemed relaxed.

When it eventually raised its face, even those who had maintained their composure could not help but be shocked.

Leon was like that too.

“You, that face… !?”

Adela looked at the guy’s face and shouted harshly.

“Mors! This bastard! “If it went down her throat once, it would be shit, why would it come back out again?”

It was like that.

After falling once and then rising, the appearance of the <Devil King> had changed to that of Mors rather than that of Emperor Nex.

An appearance that leaves the viewer with an ambiguous impression.

—Unfortunately, it seems that the ending did not come to me, the goddess’ boar. I also had no idea that things would turn out like this. As the number of souls decreases, will the initiative return to me?

〈Death King〉, no, Morse said as he looked down at his body.

A translucent, fluttering body of ectoplasm.

As it ran all the way to Surawan in a body built from the vengeful spirits of the imperial capital Karelum, its appearance was extremely hideous.

After checking his own physical condition, Morse looked at Leon.

—Hero.

“What.”

—I have a suggestion, but would you listen?

Leon tilted his head at those words.

What more is there to say after coming this far? If I was going to leave a will, I would have listened to it and passed it on.

Before he could reply, Morse spoke.

He spewed out words that made everyone doubt their ears.

—I hope you end this pointless fight and let me go.

Even El Cid was dumbfounded and just burst out laughing.

what?

What’s the point of a meaningless fight in the middle of this hellish island?

Leon heard something snapping in his head.

—My goal has already been achieved. With this body, I would be able to maintain self-consciousness even if I entered a dimensional gap. Unlike Nex, I have no intention of going on a rampage in this world. So leave me alone. I swear I will leave this place and never come back.

Even for Morse, who ate lies like a meal, these words were sincere. There is nothing to see in a world where there is nothing to enjoy. Beyond the border of that dimension lies the answer he has been seeking.

I had no intention of struggling to become a god like in The Light Emperor.

However, if there was one thing Morse overlooked,

“… … … you.”

In the end, Morse was also a monster who could not understand the human mind, and he did not know that his words and actions could create enemies in an unreasonable way.

Leon’s eyes burned fiercely with golden light.

It was a feeling I had never felt before while dealing with the <Death King>.

I can’t forgive. I can’t keep him alive.

I can’t send it to you. I can’t leave it alone.

In this place, we must destroy even the dust of our souls.

“… … As much as you.”

I remember when I first set foot in the ecliptic Karelum.

I recall a scene that insulted life to its very core.

As if having their lives taken away was not enough, we recall the screams of the victims who were shaped into the bodies of monsters.

“… certainly.”

Yes, it is reasonable to accept Morse’s proposal.

Aside from Leon and Cedric, there are no people who can fight properly, and if what I said is true, they will disappear at will even if you don’t fight. It was a chance to end the situation without more pointless bloodshed.

There is no need to make a life-or-death decision with Morse, who stole the body of the <Death King> and is famous for being the worst outlaw in the evil church.

“I’ll crush you——!”

As if in response to his emotions, the wings that sprouted from behind his back waved wildly. 〈Icarus Wing〉 and the release of aura, the light and heat flowing in two directions enveloped Leon like a whirlpool.

Anger without a single impurity bursts out.

They roar that they cannot forgive evil.

Rational judgment is a thing of the past.

Punish sin and destroy evil.

For a warrior, that’s all there is to do.

“After killing countless people! Trampling on dead people again and again! “You guys were the ones who started this pointless fight, so what are you talking about in front of me?!”

Leon’s presence swells several times.

The level of the soul temporarily increased.

It may be because of the blessing given by the goddess, or because the time has come to fulfill his role as a warrior.

Morse also realized this and took a step back, groaning.

-Foolish… ! Are you thinking of risking your life in a pointless fight, being swayed by the death of worms?

“Shut up. “You swear, I swear too.”

Leon glared at the figure writhing in front of him and aimed the flaming blade of the holy sword at Morse.

“There is no salvation that will come to you. Are you leaving this world? Whose will it be? “No matter what happens, I will put you in hell!”

-Warrior… !

“Say no more from now on. “I have no intention of listening or answering any more than this!”

At the same time, Leon’s sword drew a cross.

There was no time for Morse to react or anything.

Grand Chariot

Yeon-sik’s five righteousnesses

Polar Cross

Morse, seeing the golden cross, reflexively raised “Surawan” and blocked the front.

Although he gained the body of the <Death King>, his immortality and rank have disappeared. If you are hit properly with a holy sword, it will be an irreversible fatal wound.

Puhwaak!

〈Surawan〉, split into four pieces, falls apart.

It was the same reaction as Necator.

Even if the scale of power is similar or greater, in front of the Holy Sword, the power of other dimensions is scattered uselessly.

‘Now is the time.’

As soon as Leon found the gap, he accelerated rapidly.

As soon as the <Icarus Wing> was powerfully released, the sound barrier was broken, and the body accompanied by a shock wave reached the close range of Morse.

Acceleration that is difficult to withstand even with the durability of an Aura Master!

Leon clenched his molars and held on, lowering his sword.

Heavenly eclipse (天樞一式)

Dubhe

The sword light explodes.

The moment a ray of sword light tried to split Morse in two from the top of his head to his groin,

Chrrrrrrrr!!

Dozens of tentacles sprouting from Morse’s body struck the sword light instead, spewing out dark green blood and scattering in all directions.

Even with 〈Dube〉’s sword light, I couldn’t cut it all.

Leon took a step back and glared at Morse.

The ectoplasm, a colorless and translucent body, was gradually becoming dyed with disgusting colors and was eroding the ground in the area with the unique energy of <Outer Law>.

—I can’t help it.

Morse said while making a strange hand sign with both hands.

—I wanted to save my strength as much as possible before setting off on my journey, but in this situation, there really is nothing I can do.

Even the cardinals, who can be said to be experts in their knowledge of the ‘Outer Laws’, are using unfamiliar external laws one after another.

Two pairs of 〈Surawan〉 rise up from around both shoulder blades, and sticky scales and tentacles sprout from the surface of the body and wriggle.

Behind his back are four pairs of bat-like wings.

Horns or tentacles, I don’t know, also grow out of the skull.

[Wow, I guess I’ll lose my appetite after eating.]

El Cid groaned at its disgusting appearance.

It is an extraterrestrial technique that transplants the characteristics of dozens of extradimensional creatures into the body, thereby overcoming the limitations of living creatures. At a level like Morse, he is a near-immortal monster that does not even have vital points.

It’s been a long time since I replaced my heart and brain.

To kill it, you needed to either grind down every bit of its flesh, or use the power of dialogue to deny its existence.

“… “No problem.”

In this position, only Leon could do this.

* * *

Cedric watched the clash and then stuck out his tongue.

“Tsk, I can’t get involved in this. “Either way, it doesn’t suit me.”

Cedric’s strategy, which focuses on skill fighting, is not compatible with Leon and Morse’s fight, which is based on overwhelming output.

Regardless of which side was more advantageous, this meant that the combination of co-fighting was the worst. Leon’s ‘Seven Star Sword’ and ‘Sword of the Sun’ would be more than enough to sweep him away.

So Cedric retreated to the side of the other masters.

“Huh! The warrior is fighting, but I can’t help you… !”

Ellahan bit his lip hard.

The divine power that had never dried up in my life was as dry as a rice field during a drought.

The Seongcheolswae that was wielded like a pole was too heavy.

It made me wonder how they were swinging it like a windmill.

“Goddess, please guide my path.”

Elahan, who had barely made it to the castle, prayed.

Although it was an informal prayer, the goddess was not one to dwell on trivial formalities.

〈Revelation〉 worked as always.

Seongcheolsoe fell down in a certain direction and pointed to the target.

Ellahan’s eyes widened when he saw that.

“ah!”
