Overpowered Sword Chapter 254

Level up with swords (254)

Immediately after that, the sky tore apart.

The destructive power so enormous that some people mistakenly think so runs rampant, erasing everything in its path. The movement of so great a force even distorted space, and its trajectory turned zigzag and crashed down on Rodrik’s head.

Impossible to avoid.

Light fixed in the form of breath is dozens of times slower than its pure form, but is still so fast that it cannot be compared to the speed of sound.

Roderick saw that and decided to respond immediately.

“Every time I see Dragon Breath, I think of it—”

Raise the holy sword straight ahead and take a step forward.

The use of ‘Bobeop’ as if the world is moving away from behind, rather than the body moving forward. Following the steps of Roderick, who has become one with heaven and earth, the mana in the area reverses and gains direction.

This is the pinnacle of nature.

It is an inaction in which the whole world agrees with every small movement.

“For a transcendental species’ special move, it’s too crude.”

Roderick sternly disparaged Dragon Breath in two words and stabbed the holy sword in his hand.

stab

The basic technique of throwing the sword towards one point.

With a blow that can’t even be called divinity, it confronts the dragon breath that can collapse mountains. It was so absurd that even a layman could predict the outcome. It is said that the long and the short can only be known by comparing them, but who can compare Taisan and ants?

however.

Keying.

The tip of Roderick’s holy sword melted into thin air.

It has risen to a level that even the cognitive abilities of transcendent species and dragons cannot chase away.

Above, beyond the laws of physics, up again.

A sword reaches beyond the realms of time and space and reaches the truth.

Just as something is born from nothing and something returns to nothing.

Return to life from all things

Iljigeom (一支劍)

It was that moment.

The breath that could even pierce Mount Tai was completely extinguished as if it had never existed in the first place.

It wasn’t blocked or spilled.

The aftermath alone was an output that shook the world. No matter how you block it, it was bound to leave a big impact. Even if Rodrik was safe, the space centered around him would have become an ecological wasteland for the next hundred years.

However, Roderick’s sword ‘denied’ that absurd power.

“It is a magic power that can fire five or six shots of ultimate magic, and it is an elemental bombardment based on the laws of nature. It’s definitely efficient. “Even if small children come in hundreds of millions, we can quickly wipe them out.”

As if a breeze had passed, Roderick took a few steps forward from where he had just thrust his sword.

No fear, no interest.

It was a step toward achieving a victory that was deserved.

“But in the end, its efficiency and power are simply a mass of ignorant power. “If you encounter an enemy that can directly interfere in the conceptual area, you cannot do anything and have no choice but to be neutralized.”

In his mind clouded by the <Corruption>, Albion recalled the breath that had been vainly destroyed by the Demon King’s gesture.

It was just as he said.

To a higher being who looked down on even the transcendental species, breath, which only discharged physical power efficiently, was no more than child’s play. The mockery that passed through the Demon King’s eyes was like a brand on her pride.

Rodrik’s feet finally stopped.

His eyes met Albion, who was floating hundreds of meters above the ground.

“To this point, 10 seconds.”

At the moment when Albion’s instincts were paralyzed after his breath was neutralized,

“20 seconds from now.”

A flash of light erupted from Roderick’s grasp.

Phew!

Albion didn’t know.

Why was she falling, and why did her ability to fly, which was supposed to function unconsciously, suddenly disappear?

It was two seconds later that I realized the reason.

■■■■■■■■■―――?!!

There are no wings.

Unlike those of birds or reptiles, the wings of dragons are a body part that obtains lift through an internal magic organ.

Since it was cut off from the root, it had no choice but to fall.

‘Nonsense… ! At invisible speed, my wings?!’

Of course, the dragon’s body is strong. From its head to the tip of its tail, there is not a single scale that could be considered a weak point.

The wing membrane was also protected by high-density magic power, so it took three or four blasts of ultimate magic to tear it apart. But it’s not enough to break through that durability with a single sword, so you can make it so that you don’t even realize it for nearly 2 seconds?

Kugugugugugugugung… !

Still, the physical capabilities of the dragon race were intact, and they perfectly protected themselves from a fall of about 1km.

Albion’s body, which had lost both wings, regained its center of gravity by stepping on the ground on all fours and glared at the being that had dropped it.

The sense of loss caused by losing a part of the body and the madness caused by the ‘fall’ momentarily suppressed fear and increased strength.

■■■■■■――!

Running.

Albion charged forward, striking the ground with all his might with all four legs, in a beast-like stance that was uncharacteristic of the dragon race.

Thanks to the magic engine, the weight is less than the volume, but the original weight of the dragon race is basically tens of tons or more. The speed boosted by horsepower is slightly below breaking the speed of sound.

When its weight and speed are added to its immense durability, it becomes a crushing ram that can destroy a fortress just by running.

It would be enough to bleed a single human being.

“It’s shabby.”

Rodrik chuckled as he faced the onslaught.

“Even the dog I raised is probably more skilled than that.”

The squire who came to be called the Beast King before I knew it, would he be subjected to a reckless attack, perhaps from Hackapell’s <Tenrang>?

There is no need to use a holy sword.

Roderick, with his sword hanging down, clenched his left fist.

and.

Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!

With an explosion that could be heard several kilometers away, Albion’s massive body was lifted up and thrown away.

It feels like a pebble thrown by a water spoon.

The dragon’s body, which must have weighed at least 50 tons, bounced on the ground several times before landing on a hill. He was ridiculous. The destructive power comes from hundreds of times the weight. As the saying goes, it was impossible to overcome this level of difference.

“〈Banwolwon(反越拳)〉.”

Roderick said.

It was the name of a technique that defeated Albion with a single punch and even broke off one of its horns. A rebound device that reverses the direction of the approaching force and returns the impact by adding the opponent’s momentum.

Albion, who was hit directly by the <Half Moon Fist>, was as if she had collided with herself, who was charging from the opposite direction.

“I cut off all the wings that had rotted down to the marrow, but left one intact horn. “Is the last part the heart?”

As Rodrik said that, he walked towards Albion, who had not yet regained consciousness.

Strangely, every time he takes a step, the distance narrows, as if space is compressed. Roderick, who had leapt hundreds of meters over her in just four steps and stood in front of her Albion, looked down at her.

It looks full of gaps, but there is not a single gap to be seen.

“You must have come to your senses now that the horn that was invading your brain was broken. Why don’t you at least say a few words?”

Albion mumbled weakly, as if responding to his request.

“… … Kill… … Give it… ”

“Hmm?”

Roderick tilted his head at those words and then spoke again.

“The will is virtual, but you don’t have to die yet. “The wings and horns contaminated by the ‘corruption’ have all been removed, and if you extract what remains near the heart, your life can be saved.”

“… necessary… No… uh… !”

Taking advantage of the diminished influence of <Corruption>, Albion somehow moved his mouth and shouted as if spitting out blood.

“I am… Of the clan… shame… hey… ! Must protect… Do, life… second… I, kill, kill… I threw it away… ! Alive… Pay back… Can’t, can’t… crime… ramen… Rather, to a hero… Porridge, go… want!”

“Is that so?”

“… ask… sun… Kill me… !”

Roderick threw away the pride of the dragon race and begged.

“Nope?”

I answered immediately without any hesitation.

It was an answer that was completely devoid of consideration, to the point where Albion’s face, which had been contorted in pain, went blank for a moment.

“I wasn’t born as a dragon, so I don’t know how you feel, but don’t throw your life away over trivial things.”

“… City City… Well… Lung… ?”

“Everyone makes mistakes a few times in life. Even if you are humiliated, as long as you live, you can make up for it someday. Besides, you’re a dragon, right? “You have thousands of years left to live, so are you trying to run away because you’re afraid of responsibility?”

Roderick raised the holy sword.

The area where the tip of the blade is aimed is the heart, the place where the crystals of ‘Corruption’ are planted. As it is, it would be destroyed and spread through the capillaries at the same time, causing even the strong bodies of the dragon race to die.

“Your wishes are none of my business. As a warrior, I save lives that can be saved. “You can take care of your life after that.”

Albion was angry at that careless answer, but for some reason he also felt relieved.

When I let go of all my pride and duty as a member of the dragon race.

Does she want to die or live?

And before I could even agree to the answer.

Sigh!

A holy light pierced the center of her heart.

* * *

“… … ah.”

When Albion, who had lost his mind, opened his eyes, the sky had turned dark as the sun had set. Her body seemed to not have the strength to remain as its original body, and was in a humanoid form.

My mind, which had been clouded like a thick fog, had already returned to its original state, and I let out a long sigh as I recalled the memory of begging Rodrik to kill me.

At the time I thought I had no choice but to die, but now-

“What, are you awake?”

Albion turned to the voice that came from behind him.

Blonde hair that is easily visible even in the dark, and eyes that sparkle in the shape of a cross. As a transcendent species, my natural visual ability could see through its true nature, and I shuddered at its endless potential.

This man is truly human?

It feels stronger than the godhead I encountered once in the past and bigger than the demon lord?

“Are you scared because you got beaten up by me? “He’s unusually gentle for a dragon.”

“Who, who was scared?”

“Oh, my temper has returned. good.”

Rodrik paid no heed to her anger and began to prepare the wild boar he had just killed.

Because he worshiped the goddess and had no hair, he slashed it with the holy sword a few times and the bones and flesh separated, leaving only the flesh that was easy to eat.

It was a feat that would make even a veteran hunter’s eyes widen.

Chiik, chiik.

When you place the meat on a stone plate placed over a bonfire, it soon starts to overflow with fat and a nice smell.

As I selected only the delicious parts, I ended up with only a few hundred grams, but it was enough to fill my mouth. I took some spices out of the subspace and sprinkled them once or twice, and it became reasonably edible.

Roderick profanely took a piece of meat with the tip of his holy sword and threw it into his mouth.

“Hmm, not bad. Luxurious cuisine is fine, but sometimes I crave something like this.”

“… It’s barbaric. Is it okay for you to treat the holy sword like that?”

“You call the goddess a bitch, but what can she say when she just wields a sword like this?”

“W-what? “Punsu bitch?”

Albion’s image of a warrior that he had been thinking of for a long time was shattered, and he was on the verge of losing his mind.

Either way, Roderick just kept eating meat.

But perhaps he was also concerned about Albion, who was absent-minded.

“Hey, don’t just look at me, you should eat some too.”

“Not required. Dragons don’t really need to eat… ”

“I know at least that transcendental species don’t need to eat. But there is such a thing as atmosphere, right? “It feels awkward to eat alone.”

“Ha, if it’s a favor from my benefactor.”

Albion eventually gave in to the offer and picked up a piece of meat, hesitating several times before putting it in his mouth.

however.

“!”

I blinked at the taste, which was richer than I could imagine.

It wasn’t that I couldn’t taste the delicacies of the mountains and the seas.

There have been times when I have been addicted to food for centuries. Nevertheless, the taste I felt at this moment was a different flavor from my sense of taste.

live.

Know that your heart is beating and your blood is flowing.

I felt the life I had once given up come back, and the feelings that had become desolate in the face of death were rekindled.

“――Ugh.”

Why?

Albion was neither happy nor sad, but he lowered his head while wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

I was afraid that if I didn’t, I would show my ugly face to Roderick.

As I thought about that, my heart started pounding violently again.

‘ah.’

Unfortunately she was intelligent.

As soon as the dragon race’s reason and intelligence sensed the physiological effects caused by emotions, they analyzed the cause.

Warrior Rodrik.

From what I heard from afar, he was even given the honorific title of ‘Holy King’, and was the greatest and greatest hero in human history. To this man who was sitting mischievously in front of me, chewing on wild boar meat, I was.

Albion could not bear it anymore and let out a loud scream.

“Aaaah!”

“What, what? “Has the pollution gone yet?”

“It’s not like that!”

Albion reflexively flinched at Roderick, who was holding the holy sword, and took a few steps back, covering his head.

His face, which was as white as porcelain, had turned bright red like a bonfire.

Before Roderick could ask anything after seeing this, Albion shouted as if he was shooting him.

“Chae, take responsibility!”

“what? “What am I?”

“Didn’t you cut off my wings and break off my horns? A body that has lost its integrity cannot go to heaven. “I have to live in this world until I die!”

Roderick’s expression became devastated when he understood those words.

“No, I knew that lizards have thick facial skin, but I had no idea they could be so shameless. “I saved you from drowning, and now you want me to rescue your bundle too?”

“Wasn’t it you who ignored my request and saved my life? Take responsibility! “Take responsibility for the rest of my life!”

“Ha, damn it. “What kind of situation is this?”

Albion also knew that she was being unreasonable, but once she had done something, it could not be undone.

However, Roderick seemed surprisingly shaken by those words.

It was as if he sympathized with her situation, being left alone in a world where all the dragons had left. After thinking about it several times, he brought out the words he had come up with in the compromise book.

“Tsk, I understand. Even if you take responsibility, you can’t do big things? I’ll be alive for at least hundreds more years, so I’ll be your companion until I die. “Is this enough?”

“Is it a promise? Have you made a pact with this body? “If you break it, I will chase you all the way to heaven and kill you!”

“Why am I saving lives and listening to death threats?”

Roderick, who had made the promise unintentionally, looked displeased, but Albion ate a few more pieces of boar meat with a smile, as if he was satisfied with having tied up an insignificant relationship.

It wasn’t a taste that made me realize life like the first time, but the man grumbling in front of me was a good spice.

It started from here.

Gold Dragon Albion fell in love with him.

* * *

‘… It’s a heartwarming story.’

Leon nodded, deeply moved by the story.

Of course, Albion did not honestly reveal his feelings, but everyone seemed to have noticed because of his refreshing reaction.

Only El Cid was shouting loudly from inside the Holy Sword.

[It’s so heartwarming!? Have pity on me who was caught by the collar when it wasn’t enough to be treated as a benefactor! That’s normal!]

‘Ugh, what could I expect from you?’

[Why is the reaction like this?!]

Leon, who was trying to block El Cid’s words, remembered one thing that was holding him back for a moment, so he stopped.

El Cid clearly said that he owed Albion a ‘debt’.

It was something that was not mentioned in the story I just heard.

‘El Cid.’

[What?]

El Cid said bluntly.

‘What did you say next? He said he cleared the debt. Then, isn’t there more to the story?’

[of course. Doesn’t the fact that he doesn’t reveal it to the end show how shameless that golden lizard is?]

As if waiting for Leon’s question, El Cid explained excitedly.

[What did he say after receiving that promise?]

‘huh.’

[Suddenly, he said he would repay the favor, followed me around, and appointed me as his guardian knight. How can I be of any help to a topic that is much weaker than mine? I answered that there was no need for all that because it was inconvenient.]

Leon, with a headache in his head, asked a beat late.

‘… so?’

[When you think of a gold dragon, you have the image of gold, right? is not it?]

‘… … so?’

[Why do you keep doing that? What would I have said?]

‘What did you say?’

El Cid responded to those words with a confident attitude.

[I told you to pay me back in money if you were that grateful to me.]

Leon was impressed.

‘Wow, this is garbage.’

It was understandable that Albion became enraged as soon as he saw him.

Leon, at a loss for words, looked down at the hilt of his sword.

Why was this a hero?

The goddess who was looking down at them from heaven sympathized with me without realizing it.
