Overpowered Sword Chapter 278

Level up with swords (278)

Titans.

Even if they had never witnessed the actual thing, there were few people who did not know of its existence. The large mountain range depicted in the center of the continental map, the owners of a land that could never be conquered even during the heyday of the Clyde Empire, which once ruled more than half of the continent.

They were a race that fought against the Demon Lord’s army under Saint King Roderick, and was recognized for their exploits, earning the right to become a new species.

An ogre, a monster with a level of danger as high as A+.

Monsters who throw rocks the size of houses with untrained bodies and crush metal like paper.

With the blessing of wisdom added to their already powerful physical abilities, the Titans’ combat power literally surpassed common sense. The unilateral destruction of the empire’s legions was not a coincidence, but a natural result.

Just three or four warriors gathered together can defeat S-rank dangerous monsters, and when they reach warrior leader level, they are monsters that can take on two or three masters on their own.

If the entire population of Titans, who can stand on the front line, gathers in triple digits, it will be enough to take down a powerful country.

“Pickaxe~ Pickaxe~ hit the ground~ Mithril, pop! “When you hit the hammer, the hammer, the anvil,”

The northern wall of Area 1, Kingdom of Jugend.

From that watchtower, a humming sound that had neither pitch nor tempo flowed ceaselessly. It was painful to the listener, but everyone else was dozing off so there was no problem.

Blacksmith Brook, who was finally giving up his job as a security guard, which he had to perform every 10 years, felt like emptying his dry wallet and pouring himself a bottle.

He stopped humming and shouted while swinging his spear.

“Hahaha! Starting tomorrow, I, Brook, will go back to the blacksmith shop! Hell of a castle, hell of a guard! “This next cycle, even if I have to go down to the lower area, I won’t be in charge of the guards!”

Even though Brooke was so excited, her colleagues, who couldn’t overcome their boredom and were fast asleep, didn’t know how to wake up.

Even if they were awake, rather than saying a good word to the person leaving tomorrow, they were the ones who would yell, asking why you came first. Still, there was enough affection to exchange a drink or so.

“Well, if you think about it, it wasn’t such a bad time… … hmm?”

It was that moment.

There is a rumor going around that dwarves have poor eyesight, perhaps because of their stocky appearance, but in reality, they are on the good side. Although he couldn’t see a target several kilometers away like an elf could, he was quite superior to a human.

The walls of Area 1 are high.

And since the visibility available at high altitudes was much wider than at low altitudes, he quickly noticed the anomaly.

“W-what?!”

A thick cloud of dust rising from the horizon.

Even if 10,000 cavalry units rushed forward, that level of dust would not have been raised, but in an instant, a cloud of dust rose into the sky and was swirling like a dragon fist wind.

Even though Brook had lived for quite a long time, it was a natural reaction to freeze at an unimaginable sight.

Still, perhaps because he was aware of his role as a guard, Brook immediately stretched out his hand toward the emergency bell—

“I’m sorry. “Please let me pass quietly.”

Suddenly, a huge shadow stood tall in front of the emergency bell.

It was a surreal experience.

As a rule of thumb, he is at least 5 meters tall, but you were able to get behind him with that size and there was no sign of him?

Although blacksmithing was his main occupation, Brook was also a strong man who could fight expert-level warriors. Even if he was a sword master, he would be able to delay the fight for a few minutes.

however.

‘Monster, this giant is a fearsome monster… .’

Without realizing it, my upper and lower jaw trembled, and several of my teeth made a clicking sound.

Even though it’s right in front of me, I can’t feel it at all. Just as you become calmer when you enter the eye of a typhoon, you have realized that this giant is the central point of the typhoon.

It was right after that.

Only a few seconds passed as Brooke was gripped with a fear she had never experienced before.

Coo!

With a heavy sound, one, then two, shadows fall down in an indescribable and dizzying way.

This is ridiculous.

Brooke wanted to scream like that with her mouth wide open.

‘The walls of Area 1 are over 60 meters high!’

Although it was a few steps lower than the walls of Karellum, which were expanded with an astronomical budget, Jugend’s 1st area was no slouch either.

Even if they bring an army of 1 million people, they can easily stop it.

This was something that all the craftsmen who participated in the wall construction agreed on.

“Whoa! “It’s a pretty good wall to climb.”

Sarunga, the warrior leader, came up next to Kasim and said.

The leg that had been cut off the previous time had grown back before I knew it, and I was walking on the ground just fine.

That’s not all.

The Titans followed him, running up the castle wall in a few steps.

“It’s a bit narrow because it’s all gathered like this.”

“Think about the difference in size between us and the dwarves.”

“Oh, be careful! “If you fall from here, you might get bruised!”

“I didn’t push because I wanted to. “I was pushed out too.”

Brook, who was listening to the noise of the Titans, looked up at Kasim with an expression that seemed like he was going out of his mind.

Cassim, who saw that face, also clearly looked embarrassed.

“I apologize again. It’s a waste of time to go through all the procedures and come all the way here. As soon as we go down, contact the palace and call the Grand Meister. “He will quickly understand why I came.”

“… “Please state your name.”

“hmm.”

Kasim smiled and turned his back on the sight of him not forgetting his duty as a guard even though his loose legs were shaking.

“Tell them that it is the Giant King Cassim and all the Titans.”

* * *

As soon as Leon and the others heard the urgent news, they rushed out of the conference room and within seconds headed towards the place where the Titans were said to be staying.

In case there was a conflict between the Kingdom of Jugend and the Titans, his reaction was faster than ever. If Cassim and the Jugend forces collided even if just by chance, the outcome was obvious even without looking at it.

It was fortunate that it took about 10 minutes for all the troops in area 1 to clear the floor.

“execution!”

“Oh, a priest?”

When Leon, who desperately hurried his steps, reached his destination, he was already there.

“Hahaha! Jugend’s alcohol is pretty good too!”

“I like demonic beast meat, but I also like dishes mixed with spices. “It’s my first time coming down the mountain, so it’s just a new experience.”

“what? Is this your first time? “When dealing with peddlers, I would have been able to go down and back for a little while.”

“I wanted to go hunting one more time during that time.”

Food and liquor containers piled high like a mountain.

The Titans sweeping the mess were making a fuss. Some people drink alcohol, some people eat meat.

I didn’t even know how long it had been since I left the Titan Mountains, so I could see signs of excitement, whether I knew it or not. Leon looked back at Cassim with an expression that was even dejected by the atmosphere.

‘Well, there’s no way the dwarves would fight when he was sentenced to death.’

The legend of the Giant King is an old story from 300 years ago for humans, but dwarves, like elves, are a long-lived species.

300 years ago wasn’t that long ago.

There were several people within the Jugend royal family who remembered his face and power. The peak of the Titans, who collapsed mountains with a single punch and shattered the lines of the Demon King’s army.

Fighting with Kassim was tantamount to suicide.

“… Phew, that’s a relief.”

“hmm? “What do you mean?”

However, the group followed him one beat before his answer.

“Hero! too fast! “What if you leave us behind?”

“Oh, that’s right. “Please don’t leave me behind.”

“… Master Leon’s behavior has been updated. From now on, I will anticipate that path and take the lead.”

Leon was embarrassed by the strong reactions, but quickly apologized.

“sorry. “I guess I was too anxious.”

Before long, Irexana and Albion also arrived at the square.

They looked around blankly at the Titans occupying the square in Area 1 for a moment, then approached Cassim.

Irexana greeted him first.

“It’s been a long time, King of the Titans.”

“Right. “How many years has it been?”

Kassim accepted his greeting and briefly conveyed the situation. Perhaps because they had met each other, their conversation flowed smoothly.

It was then.

“Hmm, the giant king. “He has earned his title.”

“hmm?”

Cassim, who belatedly learned of Albion’s existence, narrowed his eyes.

“You… Right. “I didn’t know that the dragon that Roderick saved still remains in the world.”

“I’ve become a body that I can’t leave. “The bastard who made me like this has run away to heaven.”

“He is a man whose loyalty is not worth a penny.”

“I agree. “It seems like we can communicate well.”

As the old saying goes, if you want to become friends with someone, make a common enemy. Cassim and Albion obeyed each other without making a fuss.

[Huh, how dare they openly gossip in front of me?]

The hilt of the sword trembled at Leon’s waist.

‘Isn’t it a front attack because you’re talking about it from the front?’

[I guess that doesn’t matter! Ugh, damn it. If I had a body, I would beat those arrogant bastards to pieces… .]

‘Ugh.’

Leon let out a long sigh and shook his head.

Is this immature human being a holy king?

There is a degree of distortion of history, and it was surprising that I was shocked.

“Priests.”

After summarizing the story, Kasim approached Leon.

Cassim looked him up and down with bright eyes.

“A lot has changed in the time I haven’t seen you. “I didn’t know you would already be in the same place as me.”

“It’s the same place. “I still have a long way to go.”

He’s a grandmaster who can’t use Simsangyuui without a holy sword. If he were to be on par with Cassim at that level, El Cid would laugh at him.

When Leon declined, Cassim smiled happily.

“Don’t think I was too hasty.”

“yes?”

“The world doesn’t always wait for us to prepare. “If you slow down even for a moment to match the tempo, they will callously overtake you.”

As if he could see through his inner thoughts, Kasim gave advice.

“Too much is too much, too much, too much, isn’t it? That is also true depending on the time. “Sometimes there are things you have to obtain even if you go too far, and there is no such thing as a certain time in an uncertain future.”

Now that Vritra has begun to move in earnest, Leon’s power will undoubtedly be of great help. If he had built up his strength to become a transcendent, he would not have been able to estimate his prospects even if he had waited a few more years.

Even if they survived until then, the amount of damage caused by Vritra to the entire continent would have increased enormously.

“Believe in what you have done to this day. “If you find it so hard to believe in yourself, try believing in the people who believe in you.”

“… Yes, death penalty.”

Leon nodded while listening to those words.

After patting him on the shoulder a few times as if to comfort him, Kassim invited a few more people and sat down in a circle.

It seemed like they were about to start the meeting right here.

Leon and his group, Irexana, and several warrior-level Titans from Albion.

When I visited the Titan Mountains, Vulkan, who was the village chief, was also among them. After bowing to the Titans who were waving with happy faces, Leon and the others returned to their places.

“Let’s cut it short and get to the point. Some people may know why I came here, and some may not. “I will postpone the explanation for later.”

It was a tone that could have sounded like an outburst, but no one tried to argue with Kasim in front of him.

In the middle of the square, where silence had already fallen, Kassim, who had attracted everyone’s attention, declared the topic of the meeting.

“This is a time of disaster that the Holy Church has warned about several times. If the entire continent does not join together to fight against him, it will be worse than it was 300 years ago.”

Holy King Rodrik is dead.

Not only was it not enough to save the world on his own, but the great hero who terrified the devil and dragons, and whose very birth was like a miracle, has already ascended to the sky.

What was hanging from Leon’s waist was only a piece of it, and even if all of the causality left in the sword was used up, it was impossible to subdue Vritra.

So we have no choice but to do it.

It is an ordeal that those living in this era must overcome on their own.

“The Holy Church has already sent dispatches to the Elven Forest, the Great Desert, and the sub-races and nations scattered across the continent.”

This was the information exchanged with Irexana a little while ago.

This is why the second cardinal, William, is not in Jugend. He went to his hometown to persuade his people to prepare for the coming calamity.

It was also true that dispatches were sent to nomads and beastmen.

“Even 300 years ago, all of humanity fought against the Demon Lord’s army under the name of Roderick. They were able to fight to protect this world without worrying about the walls of races or countries. Humans, this is what your ancestors were able to do. Dwarves, you remember. “The storm of iron and flame that raged at that time.”

Some people couldn’t breathe and swallowed dry saliva.

Some people couldn’t control their excitement and clenched their fists.

Even though I was afraid, cowered, and trembled. No one tried to escape from the heat that filled this square.

Kassim was silent for a moment.

When the silence in the room became tense,

“—I dare to make a suggestion here.”

A living legend reappeared after 300 years, raising the glory of the old days high like a flag.

“Reunification of the Allied Forces, unifying the power of the entire continent!”
