Level up with swords (285)
Kkwagwagwagwagwagwang!!
The walls of Area 13 spewed out fire again.
As Hrimturs left the battlefield after clashing with Leon once, Monster Wave had no choice but to be exposed to the merciless bombardment without any defense.
Every time a rain of cannonballs hits, the shattered corpses of monsters fill the ground, and blood flows and pools, forming a river.
Sisanhyeolhae (屍山血海).
Within a few hours after the full-scale battle began, the outside of the castle walls was turning into a hell that was difficult to look at with open eyes. Before I knew it, the crows roaming in the distant sky were looking forward to the dinner that would come soon.
Hundreds of monsters die every minute, and the speed at which corpses are scattered exceeds the reloading speed of the cannon.
Monster Wave was slowly, very slowly narrowing the distance to the castle wall.
However, there was someone else who slowed down the pace of the advance.
Phew!
The body of a beautiful woman whose head was blown off with a single blow stumbles like a doll with its strings cut, and then collapses and melts into the ground.
No, more accurately, I fell into the shadow beneath my feet.
Trollshaman Tutanka, one of the three demons who saw the scene, said while looking in the same direction with all three heads.
“Is it an alter ego technique based on martial arts?”
“What a mediocre trick.”
“You also borrowed the power of elemental magic.”
Although it was an entity that evolved through <corruption>, its depth of intelligence was at the level of an archmage. Tu Tangka, who had a rough understanding of the structure of the “Dark Dance” after one look, waved the staff in his hand.
It was a tool with a hideous appearance.
The stone artifact made by processing the skull of a basilisk that was personally hunted, imbued with enormous resentment, and aged is equivalent to a high-ranking artifact.
Karen also felt it.
“Wow!”
She popped out from the shadows, did several somersaults, and landed. According to the plan, the plan was to keep increasing the medicine until the bastard became impatient, but Tutanka’s curse somehow even pursued the shadow.
Karen opened her mouth with a look on her face as if she had just been punched.
“Ahaha, is this your first time seeing your face properly? Nice to meet you!”
Tutankha, who was looking at her quietly, snorted and spewed out different words with his three heads.
“For a hybrid female, this is quite an outstanding talent.”
“I thought it was the main body, but is it also an alter ego?”
“It’s interesting because it’s a deceptive technique that even deceives my magic.”
This time, it was Karen’s turn to harden her face.
‘… Even if you can’t pinpoint my exact location, is it possible to tell if it’s real or not if it comes in front of you? ‘It’s tricky.’
As an assassin, I am used to the all-or-nothing game.
Die or be killed.
Nevertheless, Karen realized that the odds of winning in this gambling game were less than 50%, and decided that it would be better to buy time until Leon came rather than recklessly overturning the hand.
High shaman.
It is a being that I have never faced before. It was difficult to be confident because there was a critical lack of information and experience.
“Life has diminished.”
“Am I afraid?”
“What a rat.”
Tutankha read the signs and provoked her, but Karen’s eyes had long since calmed down without a single flicker.
It is a different level from the Myeongkyung Index.
There is no factor other than light that should cause the shadow to waver.
Jet black dance
Before we knew it, dozens of Karens appeared, as if surrounding Tutankha, scattering daggers that were clutched in both hands.
All of them, without exception, are real.
Daggers with their tips swinging like poisonous snakes rushed in.
Projection type 1
The emergence of poisonous snakes
It’s different from before.
An intermediate shadow spirit is attached to each dagger, and it swings back and forth in an irregular orbit, even accelerating. A heavy rain of daggers that allows rapid acceleration and sudden stops thanks to the properties of shadows.
Its killing power increased several times compared to before dealing with the spirit.
“ᝨᝧᝩᝪᝬᝯ!”
However, when Tutankha stabbed the ground with his stone sword and chanted a spell in a monster language, all the spirits that stayed on the dagger were thrown out and its trajectory was bent arbitrarily.
Karen, who had become an elementalist, could see that in her vision.
The vengeful spirits wandering around Tutankha’s body and their screams burst out like a shock wave.
The stench of spiritual decay felt like my nose was going to fall off.
“Wow, I feel nauseous.”
Karen growled, taking a few steps back and holding her nose.
“What a piece of trash. I finally understand. “You ate a Chinese food, right?”
It is not that rare for monsters to prey on their own kind, but this was a phenomenon that occurred due to a lack of individuals that could be preyed upon, such as in deserts and wildernesses.
Even though the environment of their habitat is rich, they go out of their way to eat their own kind, and in such cases, they are treated as public figures even among monsters.
Congenital predation inevitably leads to distortion.
In terms of human society, it was similar to incestuous marriage. Just as when blood is mixed with a close relative, the distortion will eventually develop into a fatal flaw, and a monster that repeatedly preys on its own kin will soon undergo an ugly mutation.
“Hehehe… .”
“The weak are eaten, and the strong survive.”
“They were not my people, they were just prey.”
Not only the three heads, but also the face lances sticking out all over the body laughed and laughed at Karen.
He had no hesitation about what he had done.

“You’re annoying, you.”
Karen’s blue-gray eyes turned transparent like glass beads.
A third-rate assassin is desperate to kill, while a second-class assassin’s eyes are like blades. However, at the first level, the vital energy is completely contained within the body and does not flow out, and at the first level, it becomes transparent enough to see through everything.
Karen’s eyes, sinking into the shadows, sparkled with life.
* * *
The biggest battle in the invasion of Area 13 was not on the walls facing the monsters, nor inside the castle where Desmond infiltrated behind with thousands of undead.
The fight between Karen and Tutankha was quite fierce, but its scale was not particularly great.
Assassin and Shaman.
The fighting style of both types is to thoroughly catch the opponent off guard and annihilate them by any means possible. Waste of power is not allowed in efficient combat, so even those who reached the peak of mastery only destroyed their surroundings in the area of precise combat.
however.
Kugugugugugugugung… !
When the sword light that bounced off Hrimturth’s fist grazed the mountain peak, a rock mass weighing hundreds of tons fell out and rolled onto the cliff.
The animals were frightened by the untimely landslide and ran away in a hurry, but the disturbance was not a big deal.
The animals that got close to Hrimturus while trying to avoid the landslide soon became stiff, their eyes turned a dull color like fish in a freezer, and they collapsed.
He froze to death in just a few seconds.
Save hahahaha!!!
Hrimturs, who was covered in blood after a close encounter with Leon, smiled as if his wounds were happy.
Instead of an echo, the sound resounds like thunder, causing the mountain peaks that were already in danger to sway again.
It is literally like a natural disaster incarnate.
Shake the ground with one step and crush a mountain with one fist.
[What a ruthless bastard!]
‘Strong. ‘It’s pure violence.’
Leon nodded as if agreeing with El Cid’s words.
‘Even though it runs wild, it avoids or blocks all fatal attacks, and due to the frost storm, ranged attacks using heat are halved or neutralized. If it was made aimed at me, I think it was successful.’
The most difficult thing was that each time he clashed, a large amount of his power was consumed.
Hrimturth’s innate ability, the frost storm that swirls around his body, slows down his movements as soon as he approaches. Of course, he could shake off its influence if he was using the <Sun Sword>, but it was true that it caused a constant drain on his power.
However, even if you continue to fire the light of the <Seven Star Sword> or <Sun Sword> from a long distance, it will not cause fatal damage to that large object.
[This guy has no choice but to approach, but if you do, you will be at a disadvantage. If he intended this and made it, I should raise the evaluation by two levels.]
‘Well, the possibility of that happening is probably low.’
Innate ability and potential were areas that even God was unfamiliar with before awakening them. This is something that a dragon contaminated by the power of the Demon King cannot do.
Leon, shaking off his distracting thoughts, readjusted his grip on the holy sword.
The exploration ends here.
If it took longer than this, Ellahan and Karen could have suffered great damage in their respective areas. If we had made it to a 1v1 situation, we should have definitely won.
[Are you going to do it?]
‘I wanted to avoid using it if possible, but I can’t beat this guy if I don’t use it.’
Not only <Singolgwang>, but also the five senses while writing <Corona> puts a huge strain on the body. Since he has become a transcendental person, he only feels some burden, but before that, he had to face death.
If Vritra was your opponent, the fight would be the final battle, so you could use it generously, but if you poured your strength into Hrimturs or another three magic generals and got stabbed in the blank, it would have been a disaster.
Still, I have no choice but to write.
I realized this after bumping into him a few times. Hrimtursman is a monster that must be faced seriously.
Grumbling…
Perhaps sensing an unusual atmosphere, the rampaging giant calmed his breathing and took two steps back.
It is a wild nature close to precognitive ability.
I was foreseeing a situation where my life could be in danger.
Leon looked at this indifferently and lowered his sword.
Leon-style Mind-Blade
Solitary star light
Island
What you should picture in your mind is a starlight strike that can cut an enemy in two with one strike.
It was literally a moment.
A gap in time that is difficult to enter even if one second is cut into hundreds of times.
Hrimturs responded to the sword strike.
Fuwaaaaaaa!
A huge amount of blood spurted out and fell like rain, painting the entire area with blue blood.
[…] Blue?]
It was El Cid who noticed the incident before anyone else.
Whether it was Cyclops or Cyclops King, the blood was red.
Even if he was born as a mutant and had a larger-than-average physique, there was no way his blood color would have changed.
Nevertheless, its blood was blue.
Grumpy… Guheu… Gururururu…
Because he held out his left arm reflexively, the light of <Solo Light> was unable to completely cut him in two.
From left arm to left shoulder.
Beyond that, endless blue blood overflows from the cut cross section, as if it is concentrated on the left half of the body. Even if not fatal, it is a fatal wound.
Even though Leon knew that in his head, he couldn’t go any further.
‘Dangerous.’
The sense trained as a warrior warns me.
Hrimturs has become several times more dangerous than before.
【Good.】
It was right after that.
A deep voice came into Leon’s head.
【How can someone so small fight against me and push me to such an extent? It is you who deserves my respect.】
“you… ?!”
There was no need to worry any more about who said it.
Hrimturth’s smiling face with the left half of his body split apart proved this. Even though its size was reduced, its momentum increased its density, making it difficult for even Leon to take a single step.
The wound freezes.
Hoarfrost settled on the cross section where blood was overflowing, stopping the bleeding and gluing the cut edge with ice.
It was an instant.
and.
Cheeeeeeeeeek——… !
White smoke billowed out from all of Hrimturs’ pores.
I don’t feel any heat.
As if extracting moisture from the body, the giant who emitted steam like steam gradually decreased. From 50 meters to 40 meters, from 40 meters to 30 meters.
In the end, the guy who had shrunk to 20 meters stood up from his seat.
hook.
Leon reflexively stepped back and held out his sword.
It had to be that way.
Hrimturs’s momentum became more intense as his body shrank, and the frost storm swirling around him also increased the coldness. Just by standing there, the power of the ‘Sun Sword’ was drained away.
【My nemesis, thanks to you, I was able to get rid of the unnecessary increase in power. I express my gratitude with respect.】
Hrimturth said.
【And if I win this fight, I will challenge the one who holds my leash. You will be my final ordeal.】
“… “I’m sorry, but it would be better to give up that dream.”
Leon answered.
“I will end Vritra with my own hands. “I don’t have a chance to give it to you.”
【is it. If so, prove it.】
“It’s good.”
It cannot be compared to the previous fight.
Hrimturs and Leon, who had revealed their strengths, faced off again.
It was the start of the second round.
