Level up with swords (255)
“Hmm, hmm! That’s it! “Please don’t ask any more questions.”
Albion, who happened to be talking about his first love, cleared his throat awkwardly. As a dragon, she was accustomed to receiving the awe of other races, but the gazes of those looking at her now were simply warm and kind.
Ellahan was suddenly moved by the romance(?) of Saint King Rodrik with his hands clasped together and his sparkling eyes, and Karen also couldn’t help but grin as her lips loosened.
The dignity he showed during our first meeting was gone, and the tension was relieved by his fresh appearance.
Only Leon looked at her with pity.
‘Why, to a bastard who can’t even come up with an answer… .’
Considering that although El Cid is a split spirit, the representation of his personality is not much different from the main body, even if Albion reunites with Roderick, it is unlikely that a pink future will unfold.
No matter how much I thought about it, the compatibility between the two was the worst in many ways.
‘As a transcendent species, he only knows how to look down on other races, and is a dragon who is not honest about his feelings, and a genius whose abilities are so great that he has no talent for empathizing with others or understanding their feelings.’
Rodrik and Albion.
If it were a problem that could be solved simply with time, there would have been at least a few steps in progress even 300 years ago. However, Albion is embarrassed to even indirectly express his feelings, and Roderick is not aware of those feelings and is treating them with a sense of responsibility.
To resolve this deadlock, either Albion’s attitude must become more honest, or Roderick must become more tactful –
“… “I don’t see any hope either way.”
“what?”
“Oh, no.”
When Albion reacted to the self-talk he had made without realizing it, Leon immediately responded with an awkward response and changed the course of the story.
“Well, then Albion has been staying inside Ground Zero since Roderick’s ascension?”
“Hmm.”
Albion pulled his eyebrows together and nodded.
“All of my compatriots have left for heaven, so what can I do by wandering around the world alone? I can’t disturb the land that became peaceful thanks to Roderick’s subjugation with my entertainment. So, I made a full-fledged residence in what I thought was a villa, waited on the dwarves, and waited for the day when he would come to keep his promise.”
“If it’s a promise… ”
“That damn bastard is the debt and the yoke he put on me.”
A sense of pressure fell again around Albion’s body, which became uncomfortable, but no one was as overwhelmed as the first time.
Even on her part, it wasn’t particularly sincere.
“Rodrik, is the business you came to visit me like that?”
When Albion asked while looking at the holy sword, Leon quickly loosened his grip and urged El Cid to answer.
El Cid, who had finally regained his right to speak, grumbled.
“OK. I have come to ask my disciple to fulfill my promise to pay for your life in gold.》
Albion, pouting at those firm words, questioned.
“Couldn’t you have asked for my scales or bones instead? “No matter how much gold you pile up, it will never be comparable in value.”
《If you remove something like that, it will be restored in a few months, right? Look at how they do something because they don’t want to lose money.》
“… … “You son of a bitch.”
As if Ellahan couldn’t take his side this time, he closed his eyelids tightly and prayed quietly.
Albion tried to give meaning to it by entrusting a part of his body to him, but El Cid’s narrow-minded way of thinking ended up misinterpreting that meaning in a philistine way.
Cold sweat began to seep out from the back of Leon’s neck as he was sandwiched between them, but fortunately Albion did not have another seizure.
“good night. Confirm the promise made at that time. “I pay you as much gold as I weighed when I was saved, right?”
《That’s accurate. Rest assured, you will not be charged interest for 300 years.》
Leon reflexively tried to grab the hilt of his sword, but stopped his half-extended grip for fear of interrupting their conversation.
How can each word be so obnoxious?
The others seemed to be feeling the same way, as their illusions of Saint King Roderick were all shattered. It was probably a natural result that thick blood vessels protruded from Albion’s temples.
“… Yes, thank you very much. “The idiot ascended to heaven without any news, and there was no news for 300 years, so the warehouse was about to explode.”
“jerk?”
“50 tons of gold, every single bit of it was prepared. “I measured it using artifacts, so there’s no need to go through the trouble of counting it again.”
“Hey, you just called me a jerk-”
Albion, who ignored El Cid’s words, stood up on his own.
“For the Dragon Clan, an oath once made is absolute. The promise made then was ‘to pay an amount of gold equal to my weight.’”
However, Albion said with a sigh.
“The only thing specified in the covenant was the amount, and there were no restrictions on the form or method of delivery. So I thought about it a bit. “I was too busy worrying about how to harass you with gold.”
Why?
As Leon heard those words, he felt a chill running down his back. It was a sense that a bad future was approaching, a feeling that became more keen as I passed through death and death several times.
It was the same for the rest of the group.
The group stood up from their chairs and lined up facing Albion, each taking out their weapons.
The sense of crisis was such that it was impossible to sit defenseless!
―――Thump, coo goong.
A heavy vibration came from the ground through the soles of my feet.
An unknown entity was approaching.
It was clearly several times heavier than a large monster like an ogre. Leon used the ‘gong method’, the wave echo method, to trace what exists beyond the vibration.
The estimated weight is approximately 50 tons.
“hey! Can’t you just give me what you agreed to give me, you damn lizard!”
Albion said, hearing El Cid’s shouting.
“I will retract what I said earlier. Even if you are acknowledged by Roderick, I will treat your recognition by me separately. “If you can overcome this ordeal, I will allow you to carry on Rodrik’s legacy.”
Albion looked at Leon without even leaving any room for negotiation.
Whether he accepted it or rejected it, it was a face that showed that he would not reverse his position.
But instead of protesting, Leon smiled.
It was already frustrating to be caught up in a war of nerves between the two.
“great. “I accept it.”
Leon pulled out the holy sword from his waist and his eyes flashed, and Albion’s expression became strange when he saw that. Nevertheless, she did not say another word and stepped aside as if to open the front to Leon and the others.

It was right after that.
thud! thud! thud! thud!
Beyond the mountain of gold and silver treasures, a gigantic figure approached at terrifying speed.
In just one step, you jump over a gap of tens of meters, perhaps over a hundred meters. Looking at the act of ‘walking’, it was clear that something was bipedal, similar to a human.
And when more than a dozen seconds passed and it came into visual range, Leon’s mouth opened wide as he saw the true identity of the guy.
“… … ha?”
It was a reaction that should not have been shown right before a battle, but there was no one to blame for it.
Because other people had similar reactions.
“Hey, warrior! “I’m not dreaming right now, right?”
“no. Absolutely not.”
“Nonsense! “That piece of gold can exist in reality!”
Karen closed her eyes before anyone else and shuddered.
It had to be that way.
[That miser-like lizard… ! I said I would receive it in gold, but when did I ask for a golden golem!]
It was just as El Cid said.
What approached at full speed from beyond the horizon was a golden golem that appeared to be a whopping 20 meters tall. Although it does not seem to have any aesthetic appeal, the structure and shape of the body are extremely practical.
The gloves and joints were artistically finished, as if they had been touched by the dwarven hands, and there seemed to be no cracks that could be dug into.
Leon looked to the side and asked, “Maybe.”
“… “Cardinal, really?”
“I guess that’s right. This is Master’s work. “I remember looking at a few blueprints in passing when I was young.”
Irexana smiled bitterly and stepped back to Albion.
Since my physical condition had not yet recovered, being close to Leon and the others would only be a burden.
At the same time, the golden golem approached the group’s eyes.
The light bouncing from all directions reflected once again on the brilliant fuselage, making the group’s eyes dizzy.
“Hero! Can I really break this? “If I have to pay compensation, it’s at least 20 years of unpaid work!”
“Don’t hesitate, just do it! “If it’s a dragon’s trial, it won’t be easy even if the three of us fight together!”
“Well, the virtue of frugality… ?!”
Leon encouraged Karen, who was tired of the majesty of the national budget rushing around, and Elahan, who was in a panic.
Fortunately, the two quickly came back to their senses.
and.
《Nice to meet you, guests.》
The golden golem standing tall in front of the three began speaking in a girlish voice that did not fit its size!
《I am Rodelin, an autonomous unmanned golem created by Master Albion.》
Leon, who was momentarily embarrassed and at a loss for words, asked back.
“Rodelin?”
“Yes that’s right. Let me explain the origin of my name… 》
“stop!”
At that moment, Albion, whose face turned bright red again, interrupted.
The reason was clear.
If you mix up the spellings of the names Rodrik and Albion by a few letters,
“Senseless talk is prohibited until I give the order to stop!” Rodelin, neutralize the three people in front!”
《As the Master wishes.》
Not knowing that Leon and his group had already discovered everything, Albion immediately gave an order to engage Rodelin.
A golden golem that reaches 20 meters in length.
If you were to judge just by its appearance, it looks like a bear wearing thick armor. Even taking into account the magic circles carved all over the body, the weight of 50 tons was a restraint that was difficult to shake off.
It leans more toward power than speed.
‘Let’s cut down on mobility first to block the possibility of a counterattack.’
Just a few seconds after the comma, Leon chose a straight attack and raised his sword.
The place to aim was decided.
There is no way that weight can be covered with floating magic or lightening magic, so if the lower body is damaged, tactical options will immediately be reduced by less than half.
The golden light gathered on the blade poured out like a cluster of stars.
Grand Chariot
Heavenly gland transplant
Merak
In general, giant golems’ weak points are their joints, but it seemed unlikely that Rodelin, who was designed and produced by the Grand Meister of the previous generation, would have the same weak points.
So Leon aimed at the shin area, where the armor itself was broadly and flatly covered.
As the holy sword was swung, a beam of sword light exploded near Rodelin’s shins.
however.
Whoops!
As soon as it hit directly, the sword light dissipated along with a dull metallic sound, and not only Leon’s but also the eyes of the two people widened.
“Is it blocked?!”
“There was no sign of the defensive magic working… ?”
Ellahan’s sense of magic, the force that distorts the natural order, is more sensitive than Leon’s.
If so, it would be true that the defensive magic did not activate.
To summarize in one word,
“You may not have used your best, but you neutralized the attack of the <Seven Star Sword> purely through durability?!”
It is a glove of absurd strength.
It was woven so delicately that not even a single needle would go in, and its durability could even block an Auror Blade?
Karen and Ellahan fired back and forth as if testing.
Jet black dance
Projection type 1
The emergence of poisonous snakes
Dozens of daggers accelerate into the shadows, sinking their teeth like poisonous snakes. It had enough penetrating power to penetrate even a well-made full-plate mail like a piece of paper.
Taboo, boom!
Nevertheless, it bounced off without even getting stuck, proving only the soundness of the armor.
Afterwards, Ellahan’s Seongcheolsae attacked with explosive force.
“Goddess! “Grace for a frugal and sincere life!”
Ellahan’s blow, which spun his whole body like a top, struck with a sound that seemed to be filled with personal emotions for some reason.
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
This time, Rodelin also seemed to be unable to hold her position, so she retreated three steps and readjusted her stance.
Leon and his group’s gaze naturally follows that striking point,
“… … Didn’t it work?”
“… … “I think so.”
I had to stick my tongue out at the sight of the armor plate shining smoothly rather than being dented.
It was then.
Rodelin’s head received three attacks, and light flashed on her face, where only her eyes were exposed like a helmet.
《Circuit-Online.》
A powerful incandescent circuit unfolded throughout the golden golem’s body.
It is the same as the magic furnace seen inside the White Palace, but the level has been raised several levels with the addition of the dragon’s skills.
A magical structure of a level equivalent to ultimate magic in both quantity and quality.
Immediately after that, Rodelin’s fuselage deformed.
《Switch to Destroy Mode and engage.》
A total of 12 gun ports open from the shoulders and abdomen, and 36 remote weapons ejected from the back soar like birds of prey.
Leon and the others, facing it head on, froze.
“No, this is a bit much.”
There was no time to complain that it was too much.
《Full Burst!》
A storm of extreme firepower raged inside Ground Zero.
