Overpowered Sword Chapter 287

Level up with swords (287)

Kiiiiiiiing——!

As the platinum-colored sword light ran like the horizon, several mountain peaks caught in its trajectory were obliquely cut off, causing an untimely landslide.

It is 〈Seven Star Sword〉.

The arcane sword technique, whose infallibility had been cut off with the death of Saint King Roderick, and the sword technique that imitated the chariot of seven stars swimming gently in the night sky, emitted light for an unknown number of times.

Once, twice, three times.

The swords of light erupted one after another as if they were tearing apart the entire mountain range that had been peaceful until recently.

The light of destruction, which can instantly annihilate ten thousand enemy soldiers, strikes its teeth in double digits as the eyelids close and open once.

however.

【Hahahaha! Good! Fly more!】

Facing the sword light that was faster than sound, there stood a giant who was swinging his fist at an even faster speed.

Hrimturs.

The strongest member of the Three Demons, created directly by Vritra with the power of <Corruption>. Even though Leon had cut off one of his arms earlier, he used it against him to relieve the imbalance within me, and was now a monster so powerful that its level of danger could not be measured.

Wow!!

When the fist wrapped in a frost storm struck the blade of light, the ultra-high heat energy body was instantly shattered and the fragments were scattered.

Absolute extreme strength.

A mutant that impressed even Vritra, who has lived for thousands of years, and Cyclops cannot match him with simple physical strength.

Its large and powerful body alone is equivalent to that of a master, but with the addition of its innate ability to nullify the flow of energy, it has become a monster that even Auror Blade can attack from the front.

“Tch, the <Seven Star Sword> doesn’t work anymore?”

[Your learning ability is also quite excellent. He is closer to the giants of the past than to a monster. It can be called ‘Hrimturs’.]

Hrimturs means ‘frost giant’ in ancient language.

As if Vritra had not named him that for nothing, his potential was not ordinary.

With the <Icarus Wing> completely integrated with his body, Leon’s instantaneous speed was more than three times that of Hrimturs, but he had not yet been able to properly hit the creature’s gigantic body.

This was because the power of the <Seven-Star Sword> had decreased due to the frost storm, and it reacted with agile movements that did not suit its large size.

Leon, who was looking at the majesty of the thing from the front, clicked his tongue.

‘The combination of ‘Sun Sword’ and ‘Seven Star Sword’ seems to make sense, but I feel like that guy still has some cards left in his arsenal. I guess I have to take out my sword… .’

Even if you are stronger than when you started, you can gain an overwhelming advantage by using <Solitary Light>.

Seriously injured by a single sword, fatally wounded by a single blow.

The sword inside me growled fiercely, saying that the third attack could cut off my life. Despite this, Leon was unable to use Heart Sword right away. Unlike 〈Auror Blade〉, it was difficult to recover the soul and spirit consumed by the mind sword in a short period of time.

If Vritra attacks right after that, Leon will not be able to hold out for a moment and will be killed.

[From the moment it becomes a two-sided front, the leadership of the battlefield is virtually transferred to the opponent.]

El Cid said.

[In the end, there are two options. Either throw in a game and finish him off, or trust the allies in the rear and continue the delayed battle.]

‘Can Ellahan and Karen defeat these two guys…? ‘Ro.’

At a speed that felt like every second felt like a minute, Leon thought about it for just a few seconds.

If Ellahan encounters the lich, the odds of winning are high.

Even if she was strengthened with <Corruption>, she is an undead, and if she were the strongest opponent of all time with divine power and holy magic, she would be overwhelmed by the correlation rather than the scale of power.

But in Karen’s case, it was a little ambiguous.

High-ranking shamans were also well-versed in elemental magic, and if there was no compatibility, superiority or inferiority would be determined by the scale of their power.

“—Let’s get rid of it.”

Above all, this giant is the most dangerous.

Leon decided that way.

Hrimturth is more of a threat to the Allied Forces than Trollshaman and Lich combined. If you don’t defeat an enemy with excellent potential in the first game, you will be in big trouble.

[for a moment!]

It was that moment.

Almost immediately after El Cid stopped him, a black air current flowed from Hrimturus’ body, enveloping the 20 meter tall figure and taking control of the area.

Leon, who opened his eyes as a transcendental, immediately realized.

That pitch-black fog is the power of the enemy he must defeat, and is a type of summoning ritual that summons minions to his side.

【Hmm, that’s a shame. This is it.】

Hrimturs also sensed this and raised his fists.

【I guess I’ll have to decide the winner at the next opportunity.】

“Are you trying to run away?”

【This is the owner’s call. It can’t be helped.】

Hrimturth, who calmly acknowledged his provocation, twitched his lips and said goodbye.

【If you had decided a little sooner, I would have died. But it won’t be like that next time. At that time, I will overcome my limits and throw off this cumbersome leash.】

There was no time for Leon to say anything other than answer.

As the figure covered in darkness disappeared, the presence that had been pressing down on the surrounding area disappeared along with it.

Leon, who was barely holding the holy sword, hung his hand and gritted his teeth.

“… Damn you, you even learned how to provoke.”

It was then.

“Hero!”

Karen, who had come running from far away with an urgent look on her face, suddenly stopped right in front of him.

Because he continued to jump through space with <The Black Dance>, his appearance was truly a mess, as he had been overworked even more than the fight with Tutankha. As she ran desperately, she looked around with a confused expression on her face.

“Hero, what about the enemy? Did you kill both of them by any chance? “For that matter, I can’t see any bodies.”

“Wait, two guys?”

“Yeah, the guy I was dealing with suddenly disappeared. So he thought he was planning a joint attack on the hero and came to support him… ”

After hearing that, Leon’s complexion turned pale.

“I’m not.”

“what?”

“You weren’t targeting me. “There is one more person besides me that Vritra will target first!”

Leon fumbled with the hilt of his sword, opened the world map, and rolled his eyes to find the mark of Vritra.

His current location is, of course.

“–execution!”

Jugend’s eastern border, Area 11.

This was the area where Cassim and the Titans had decided to defend.

* * *

Area 11, like areas 12 and 13, was a fortress built on the border. The high walls, deep moat, and hundreds of cannons were enough to reduce the number of troops by almost half even if a million troops came.

The Kingdom of Jugend had many things to drool over from other countries, from the great vein that was the heart of it to the dwarves and ‘Jugendsteel’.

Perhaps that’s why the area corresponding to the border area, the 10th Division area, was particularly well guarded. The city was also designed to be advantageous for defense in case the walls were breached, and the blacksmith facilities were designed to maintain mass production and artillery rather than high quality artillery.

A land that not even the Clyde of the Golden Age dared to venture into.

This excessive defense system was also the reason why the steel kingdom continued its history until now.

however.

“… … Phew.”

The Titan, who was lying in the middle of the ruins with an X-shaped scar on his chest, let out a long, heavy sigh.

Some will be surprised by its ferocious appearance, while others will be surprised by the spirit that resides in its body. Although the Titans were made up of warriors that even the Sword Master could not underestimate, the intimidation of this giant was unique among them.

As if looking at Mount Tai, which has been reduced to a size of 5 meters, all who stand facing him will be in awe.

A living legend, King Kasim of the Giants.

If you know Saint King Rodrik, there is no one who does not know his name. This was an expression used to refer to the Titan as the incarnation of the reverse radiator force that can destroy a mountain with a single fist.

“… “I have no excuse for the priest.”

However, Kassim laughed bitterly as he raised his upper body.

One arm, which is thicker and stronger than a steel pillar, has been roughly torn off starting from the shoulder, and there is a hole in the abdomen so large that you can see the scenery behind it, but breathing is not disturbed.

“I didn’t know that biting my compatriots would lead to trouble.”

Finally, he stood up on two legs and crushed the skull of the warlock Desmond, the skull he was holding in his right hand.

Since they were all dying, it was easy to catch and kill them.

Grandmaster.

The one crushed by the hands of the Transcendent was denied its immortality and was destroyed without even being able to utter a scream. Even though it was strengthened using <Corruption> and Dragonborn, it was truly a meaningless ending.

【Hmph, he was a piece of trash.】

Vritra, who was looking down at him from the distant sky, shook off a mental wave.

【I couldn’t jump over my wall alive and was reduced to undead, but I didn’t know my own worth. Even if I hadn’t summoned him, he’s an idiot whose name would have been cut off right there.】

“That’s not something a guy who saved his life thanks to that idiot would say.”

Cassim laughed at Vritra with his completely devastated body. Even though his defeat deepened, he remained confident.

“I never would have thought that someone who was born as a dragon and even called himself the Demon Lord would manipulate his minions behind their backs. “If I had to pick just one reason for today’s loss, it would be that I overestimated you.”

【Shut up.】

“Uncharacteristic of you, I should have suspected you from the moment you went into battle, but there is no way that your rotten nature has changed.”

The battle in Area 11 took an unexpected direction.

The moment the defense forces gathered in anticipation of the monster wave, the sky turned black and Vritra descended from beyond.

Ancient Dragon.

The power of a dragon alone could compete with Cassim, but the strength of the one who absorbed even the parts of the Demon King was truly beyond the standard. With the appearance of Vritra, even the fearless Titans were frozen to the core, and most of the other defensive forces were unable to withstand and fainted.

Only Cassim faced him without hesitation, and cried out in a voice that made the entire castle walls tremble.

-Retreat at least 30 kilometers away with all personnel!

Even if low-ranking people join in the battle of the transcendental, the flow will only become more chaotic.

Vritra and Kasim.

The aftermath of the battle between the two devastates a radius of several tens of kilometers into an environment where life can never live again. I didn’t want to pointlessly destroy something I had to protect with my own hands.

―With this fight, I will end both you and the war!

Now that Vritra has boldly taken on the fight, Cassim’s role is to overthrow him and end this worthless war.

And what happened after that in Area 11 was literally an earthquake. Without adding a single word of exaggeration, it was a fight that shook heaven and earth violently.

If Leon’s five-pointed mind is the starlight that moves forward nobly, Kasim’s five-pointed mind is a broken emperor who crushes and annihilates the entire universe.

One punch shatters space, and one kick transcends time and destroys the enemy.

Even Vritra’s <Yokcheon> was like a piece of paper in front of the martial arts that had evolved to the level of Simsanggoui. If he hadn’t been born as a dragon, he would have been beaten to death three or four times a long time ago.

【Say whatever you want, you mutant ogre! No matter what you say, it is this body that has won, and you who have lost! I really like the process!】

As Vritra’s mental wave swept through all directions, it also had an influence on the material world, creating an untimely dragon fist wind.

Most of the remains of Area 11, a ruin that can no longer be called a city, are caught up in the vortex, revealing an even more devastated surface.

It was a sight that would have made an ordinary person incontinent, but Cassim’s eyes glared at Vritra with a subtle sneer.

He wasn’t unharmed either.

One of the grotesquely distorted horns was shattered, and both wings were torn off, leaving only the huge body. The leg on his lower body, which had been hit directly by his mental abyss, still showed no signs of regeneration, and the scales had peeled off and the skin underneath was distorted unsightly.

‘It’s a shame.’

Even if only two or three warrior commanders were left, it was quite a fight worth fighting.

The three demons that Vritra took out as a secret trick were all quite powerful, but one of them was almost dying.

It was Desmond who was burned in <Divine Punishment>.

After finishing the guy off, Hrymtur and Tutanka’s joint attack took advantage of the half-beat delay, but Cassim’s counterattack was not only enough to blow the two guys to the brink of death, but also broke one of Vritra’s horns.

“Huh, hahaha… ! The tail flying without wings looks like a fat lizard. “There is no other form that matches your ugly attitude!”

【You are hastening death! You loser!】

Finally, Beritra’s patience ran out and she began to slowly descend from the sky.

The one who had come down a little lower than the cloud level stopped.

Then he looked down at Kassim and laughed at him.

【I have no intention of falling prey to your provocation. From this distance, I will pour out my breath until you run out of breath. Let’s see how long a body contaminated by the Fall can endure.】

“… “It looks like even the brain has rotted away.”

If he had gotten closer to 500 meters apart, he would have used his life-threatening special move and aimed at Dongguijin (同歸於盡) without hesitation.

Ironically, Britra stopped just before that.

Even though he was ravaged by the power of the Demon King, his natural intelligence as a dragon did not seem to have decreased significantly.

‘If it burns your soul, it might be worth at least one hit.’

Kassim tried to suppress the disgusting feeling of ‘corruption’ that was creeping out from the hole in his abdomen and from the cross section of his torn arm.

Albion 300 years ago could not survive even for a moment and was polluted, and the power of the Demon King was eroding him. The “corruption” that Vritra instilled in Kasim not only nullified his regenerative power, but also tried to hasten his death by interfering with the functioning of the aurors.

Still, it wasn’t a very bad result.

Sensing that the end was only a few steps away, Cassim looked back at this ending calmly.

‘He used up all his ‘Corruption’ in this fight. It cannot recreate minions or contaminate its allies. If possible, I have no choice but to inflict more serious wounds to buy the priest a little more time.’

Lastly, I said, “Damn,” and rolled out my mouth.

How much longer will Roderick laugh at his foolishness?

―Did you get scammed by a fake devil who wasn’t even real? Are you embarrassed?

Without realizing it, I thought about that auditory hallucination and ground my molars.

I was prepared to die, but I didn’t want to die even more.

I have to somehow survive after taking a hit.

【——What? How already?】

It was then.

Vritra, who had opened her mouth wide at Kasim, looked back at the horizon with startled eyes. Although Kassim could not sense that her cognitive abilities had been greatly reduced due to her injuries, she soon realized why.

There’s only one person he’s wary of besides himself.

“What are you doing, cowardly devil?”

Cassim looked up at Vritra with a deep sneer.

He wasn’t the type of person who wanted to fight with his exhausted body.

“Isn’t it time to run away?”

【… Damn, you saved my life.】

Vritra flew into the sky again and performed a very long space leap, accompanied by his subordinates scattered on the ground.

After a whirlwind of darkness, the sky became clear.

Before we knew it, dusk was coming to an end.

In that red landscape, Kasim saw.

“You came quickly, priest.”

A flash of platinum light approaching at the speed of a thunderbolt.
