Overpowered Sword Chapter 275

Level up with swords (275)

It was a flow that should have been imperceptible.

For mortals, karma was nothing more than something that flowed to them one-way from a higher dimension. Even if you were born into a noble class and developed outstanding talent, whether you could recognize and deal with the flow was another problem.

In some ways, it is a similar concept to mana, but the concept of karma is at a higher level than that.

It may or may not be energy.

It can define your life or transform it.

It may help or it may hinder.

If I were to pick just one discipline that goes hand in hand with scientific civilization, I would say it is equivalent to quantum mechanics.

The flow of karma was the area that made even a grandmaster, who could say he had barely stepped on the threshold of entering the realm of ultimate magic, return to being a beginner.

“———Kkeuch!”

Leon, who almost reflexively let go of the sword hilt, came to his senses.

‘What, what? What I just saw… ‘

[Forget it. It’s not something you can understand now.]

El Cid scolded him in a stern voice.

[Concentrate on the flow of karma. As the dimensional door closes, the causality accumulated within the distortion point is flowing out. It is difficult to find another opportunity better than this.]

Leon changed his focus according to those words.

Not outside the body, but inside the body.

By contemplating one’s own body like an anatomy diagram, even the material realm is taken a step beyond. Mana flowing through the veins. Are the electric shocks that occasionally occur in the nervous system a signal from the synapse?

The spirit, which has become several times more heightened than usual and has become more unstable due to a large amount of karma, moves on to the next stage.

The vision of a transcendent person who can observe causality.

‘This… !’

[Can you see it? No, it would be more accurate to say, “Can you feel it?”]

I stop my head from almost nodding without realizing it.

In a situation where even the slightest movement could break his concentration, Leon was carefully repeating every single breath.

El Cid said it as if it were a compliment.

[From now on, don’t react to what I say, just listen. Even if there is something you don’t understand, don’t ask questions. Find the answer yourself.]

‘… … .’

[Kamma, karma, is involved in both the previous and later worlds. Karma is what defines and destroys the fate of that existence. Until death, mortals are bound to continue to be bound by karma and continue to be influenced by it. When you overcome the master’s wall, the impact becomes less, but it doesn’t mean you can completely shake it off.]

On the contrary, there were cases where the binding force became stronger.

This is a case where the innate karma, killing star or mania, jumps over the wall while absorbing a large amount of karma.

Either transcend nature or be buried in nature.

Either way, the fact that the boundary has been crossed is the same.

[But the transcendent is completely free from karma.]

I didn’t use the word ‘transcendence’ for nothing.

What the Transcendents truly transcended was not the limitations of living things, but the bondage of karma. Those who are free from the bonds of fate and cause and effect that determine the trajectory of their lives.

For them, the power of God or the laws of the world are no longer absolute, and it is possible to defeat both God and the Demon King if they are overwhelmed by pure force.

Of course, there is room for possibility, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy.

[In order to become a transcendent, a sufficient amount of karma or karma is required to make one’s existence independent of cause and effect. If you want to create a world of your own, you must have soil that will become the material for the vessel.]

El Cid said.

[Spread your mind. The karma that is currently depositing and discharging your body is accumulating part of it like mana. Don’t rush. You shouldn’t be greedy to include everything. As long as it moves according to your will, even if it is only a few handfuls, it is okay. Once you accept it, there is no letting it go, and if it runs away, there is no chasing it.]

Leon’s eyes lost focus and became blurry.

No, it’s not just vision.

All five senses are shut down and one sinks inward. If someone attacked right away, my head would be blown off with no defense, but it was impossible to enter the paranormal world without taking that level of risk.

Impermanence and no self.

By spreading the ‘self’, which is limited to the body, through consciousness, the karma swirling around around is collected as if it were a net.

[…] Wow, you’re good at it.]

El Cid was inwardly surprised.

I knew that my telekinesis itself had greatly improved due to my competition with Sisyphus, but the application of that power was completely unexpected.

It was different from the method of Saint King Roderick when he was alive.

The method of attracting karma with an incredible manpower like the sun was only possible for Roderick. A mortal who can not only interfere with karma but also simply dominate it will never appear again, neither in the past nor in the future.

[It’s simple, but not bad. Well, if it’s you, then it’s you.]

Like a rock standing in the middle of a flowing river, it does not resist the flow that cuts itself down and naturally accepts part of its power.

Leon’s life began to change after he was born as a commoner, worked hard as a commoner, and picked up the holy sword.

The bonds of karma that were rooted in the foundation of that life are loosened.

Monsters that have been cut down countless times so far.

Higher beings, including Nephren-Ka and <Death King>.

The karma absorbed with the Holy Sword while subduing evil reorganizes Leon’s body, transforming him into a constitution that is difficult for evil forces to invade.

Paaaat!

The four stigmata glow simultaneously.

‘Watcher’, ‘Originator’, ‘Purifier’, ‘Guardian’.

The grace that the goddess had personally engraved on him was sublimated to a higher level through his good karma and melted into his body. From now on, its function will not decline even in places where the sun and moon do not shine.

The eyes, which only shine brightly when the power is increased, are completely colored in gold, allowing one to see the world beyond the light.

Reconstruction of the body.

A more advanced evolution than the body change immediately after becoming a master.

[What, this won’t end?]

As soon as El Cid’s curious voice rang out, the second evolution began.

What Leon did as a hero was not only destroying evil.

Salvation is also the work of a warrior.

Saving the city of Blaine from ‘Swallowing the City’, saving the city of Rubena, preventing the Demon Sword Riot and reducing its damage, stopping Nephren-Ka who returned to the Great Desert and saving all the nomads and beastmen, ‘Deadly Spirit’ He saved the empire that was about to be destroyed by the advent of the King.

Even though each person’s work is quite trivial, the number of lives that Leon has saved has already exceeded one million.

Crack, clap, clap.

With a horrifying sound, Leon’s bones and muscles shake under his skin. The cartilage and ligaments that have been used up knowingly or unknowingly, and the muscle fibers that have reached their limits in development, once again surpass their limits.

My nervous system, which burned out every time I tried my best, became stronger than mithril, and my bones, which were already strong, became stronger than adamantium.

So much so that it can easily withstand the rebound of <Corona>.

however.

————What a disaster.

Above all, big changes were happening separately.

The heat swirling around Leon’s heart burned so brightly that it could be seen even from outside his body. As soon as it blooms, its color also goes beyond blue flame and reaches white flame.

The flame that could never be safely contained by a living being created a core without causing any harm to Leon’s body.

Soul Heart.

It was a symbolic organ of the transcendent that could be seen as greater than the Dragon Heart, if only in terms of the status of its components.

—I never thought I would see such a rare sight.

All three heads were staring at Leon, as if even Cerberus was captivated by the bright light.

Ascension.

It was a difficult moment to intuit even in ancient times when the number of grandmasters existed in double digits.

‘It’s the last time.’

In Leon’s mind, who had lost even his sense of self, a confidence that he himself could not understand arose.

There’s still one step left.

If you don’t take that step here, you’ll end up wandering again.

The body evolved and the soul sublimated.

Now that you have satisfied the two elements of the spirit spirit, all you have to do is satisfy the last remaining one.

A body that destroys evil, a soul that saves life.

So where should his heart turn?

‘… I don’t know.’

It was rare to have an image that could be maintained in a world of nothingness and selflessness, where one could not even think of one’s own name.

To maintain the self at this depth, one must be transcendent.

To become a transcendent, you must accomplish what only a transcendent can do.

A literal contradiction.

Only those who succeed in that absurdity can overcome the wall.

‘… … I don’t know.’

The body and soul are separated, and the ever-pure heart wanders with no place to go.

If you do not find your way in this state, you will fall into sima.

Juhwa-Ipma (走火入魔).

It was a disaster so horrifying that it became synonymous with a death sentence for martial artists who exceeded a certain level. Even just to name a few mild aftereffects, a year-long treatment period is required.

With the invasion of Vritra just around the corner, the Hero’s Simma was in danger of becoming a global crisis.

Leon groped the empty space in front of him, whether he knew it or not.

‘… … … ‘I don’t know.’

It was then.

―The first stage of Mind Sword is to expand one’s cognitive ability by using telekinesis to expand one’s range. So what comes next?

Someone’s question, louder and stronger than his own voice, stopped his wandering.

I knew the answer.

I just needed an opportunity to pull myself up.

“… “Establishing your own, unique laws.”

As soon as Leon remembered those words, his name came back.

Stage 2 of examination.

This is why El Cid urged him against Sisyphus. A state where imagery has direction and overwrites the laws of the world. From this stage onwards, those who become Aura Masters through ordinary methods cannot follow.

This is a path that only Leon, who was aware of the existence of flames before becoming an Aura Master and was taught how to use, can travel.

[Remember when you cut down Sisyphus.]

El Cid advised.

Although it was only once, the experience of cutting <Tuhwa> clearly reveals the path that should have been covered by the fog of the unknown.

The power to return anything to nothingness.

It is impossible to break through that law on a scale of force.

So how did Leon break ‘Tuhwa’?

‘like this… Was it?’

According to a vague memory, I move my body, no, my mind, and create a sword. Its shape was identical to that of the Holy Sword El Cid.

From the time I grabbed the hilt of my sword on the mountain behind the academy.

For Leon, he only had one sword.

El Cid.

It doesn’t matter whether it is a holy sword or not. A teacher who has guided him to this day, and a companion who has helped him achieve victory while facing countless enemies.

“——Oh, I see.”

In front of the distant wall, Leon finally realized.

It was Simgeom that cut down 〈Tuhwa〉.

An imaginary blade that symbolizes his heart as a sword.

Absolute trust in El Cid.

“Frontier.”

One who moves ahead.

The one who shows Leon the path he should take.

Naturally, the heart sword exerts the power to ‘open the way’.

Leon-style Mind-Blade

Solitary star light

Island

The sword light flashed once at the speed of the heart.

In the world of imagery, physical speed has little meaning.

If the power contained in the heart is not enough, even if it is faster than a lightning bolt, it is no more than static electricity. If the power contained in the heart is sufficient, even a breeze can blow away Mount Tai.

and.

Wow.

A large crack appeared in the wall that was so high that it even covered the sky, and a dazzling light poured out from beyond it.

When Leon’s entire inner world was engulfed in that brilliance, as if the timing was right, the portal to the Mysterious Demonic Blade closed.

The epicenter of ‘famous songs’ has disappeared.

It was right after that.

Paaaaaaaaat——!!

A huge flash of light rose from Leon, who was standing in front of the portal, and cleared the sky, which had been colored with gloomy colors.

The clouds of fog in the famous song burn away.

Beyond that, of course, there was a blue sky.

Who can know?

With the sword he stretched out in the world of imagination, all the poison of the famous song that had been stagnant for hundreds of years was extinguished.

“Whoa—…” ”

Under a sky so blue that it would sting the eyes of those looking at it, Leon, with his holy sword hanging down, slowly opened his eyes.

Those eyes are golden, almost sacred.

A foreign presence that seems to be looking somewhere far away.

Leon, who had become a transcendent, caught the darkness stirring in the distance.

“Britra.”

The guy is moving.

The final battle was approaching.
