Overpowered Sword Chapter 299

Level up with swords (299)

There was no time to do anything other than react.

The moment the barrier centered around Vritra spread into a hemisphere, Ellahan and Hackapell, who had approached Leon’s side, were thrown out of the crater.

It was a kind of rejection.

As if refusing to accept the very existence of the two people, a wall of darkness isolated the crater like a dome-shaped secret room.

“… … This?”

Leon muttered after scratching the wall with the holy sword.

[You pulled the <Reverse Heaven> out of your body. I have never experienced application in this way.]

‘You didn’t cut it before you even applied it?’

[That’s also true.]

El Cid chuckled.

[As a result, he made the worst move. Did you understand too?]

‘huh.’

Without knowing the conversation taking place inside Leon, Vritra, confident of victory, stretched out her grip.

This time, I was planning to rip his tongue out.

However, when he raised the holy sword in response to the gesture, his eyes narrowed as he realized that Leon had recovered somewhat.

【It’s ugly. You have already lost. Do you want to show me struggling in front of scum more?】

“Already lost… “You’re bragging like you won it all.”

【Still don’t understand? All the bugs who came to help you have been reduced to bystanders, and even if I stand up again, there is no chance that you, who have pulled out all of your tricks, can beat me. There is no need to defeat the king, checkmate is victory.】

After exchanging a few words, Leon recovered quickly, but Vritra’s recovery speed was similar or even faster.

Bone joints and muscle bundles protrude from the cut surface of the arm cut off in 〈Oseongjeonryeongeo〉, and scales grow densely over the exposed red skin, returning to its normal appearance.

【Well, it’s good. If you want to struggle until the very end, I will do as you wish and kill you slowly by tearing out your limbs one by one.】

A magic circle unfolds behind Vritra’s back again.

Even after driving him this far, he did not directly kill Leon, choosing to look down from a safe place.

Its petty yet cunning nature is the driving force that helped it overcome the dragon’s arrogance and endure for 300 years, but it becomes a fatal weakness in situations that require bold decisions.

If Vritra had been confident of her victory and had not chatted with Leon, if she had come to kill him with all her might as soon as she chased away Ellahan and Hakapel.

Leon would have died before he could last even a few seconds.

… Jump!

At that very moment,

Damn it! Damn it!

A few rays of light fall from their skies.

One beat before the start of Vritra’s offensive, the barrier of <Reverse Heaven> that covered the vacant lot began to collapse.

Incontinence appears like a spider’s web, and the entire surface collapses as cracks spread into hundreds of branches without any break.

It was ridiculous.

【–what.】

Vritra, whose eyes were wide in astonishment, stopped for a moment.

The power of the devil.

The power that was thought to be absolute was destroyed by a being who was not even a hero, a variable that could not have appeared, which made him stiff. This is a loophole that was revealed because he prioritized his strategy over his own strength.

It was right after that.

Heavenly God Wind Treasure

Po-pung chak-yeong (捕風捉影)

The number of Harkapels that broke through the gap in the barrier increased to twenty or more and rushed towards Vritra.

It’s scary fast.

The speed that the eyes, which are integrated with the ‘Stigmata of the Watcher’, cannot keep up with!

Cheonrangshinpungak (天狼迅風脚)

serial attack

Dominance of wind and rain

Just as it is cut away by the wind and washed away by the rain.

Dozens of afterimages of Hackapell that surrounded Vritra attacked all at once. Each blow was more powerful than a cannonball, and it was an attack that even disaster-level monsters could not break through.

A large figure reaching 3 meters rose into the air like a pebble, flew away, and landed on one side of the wall.

【Keuuuu… ! You guy, how!?】

Originally, regardless of its power, it would have been blocked by <Reverse Heaven>.

It was just as El Cid said.

For Leon, <Reverse Heaven> doesn’t have much meaning anyway, so he deploys it outside his body to create a barrier to separate him from the reinforcements. That decision was literally the worst mistake.

Excluding <Reverse Heaven>, the body compressed to the Elder Dragon level and 3 meter size ended up with only minor injuries in Hackapell’s surprise attack.

however.

“It looks like the invincibility is over.”

Hackapell, who saw the change in the guy, laughed murderously.

That’s not all.

As the remaining people all jumped into the crater, the place where Leon and Vritra would fight suddenly turned into a battlefield.

Ellahan approached Leon again and took a deep breath.

“Haak, dragon, monk… Are you okay, Hak… song… ?”

“I guess that’s what I’m going to say.”

He smiled bitterly after recognizing her physical condition.

In this era, there were only three beings who could break <Yeokcheon>.

As transcendents, Cassim and Leon can directly break the law, and over the centuries, they have studied the method of destruction of <Reverse Heaven> and made the results their own.

There was no Kasim, and there was no Leon.

She was the only one left behind by the method of elimination.

“thank you. “If it weren’t for you, it would have been really dangerous.”

Ellahan’s eyes were wide with surprise and joy.

“It’s a bit embarrassing to act like I’m going to win alone, but… .”

Leon looked back at the people who were paying attention to him and circulated the aura that had recovered to nearly 30% again.

A dazzling light like the sun swirls around the body.

This role cannot be compromised.

A warrior makes a way through the thorny path ahead of anyone else.

“From now on, let’s all destroy that damn lizard together.”

It was an expression that was so direct that it lacked dignity, but no one found fault with it.

Instead, with a ray of smile on his face that was stiff from tension, he turned his gaze from the hero to the Demon King.

Was I angry that the situation wasn’t going as I expected, or was I afraid that even the possibility of escaping from this situation was blocked?

Kuoooooooooo—!

Britra increased her strength without leaving a single penny to spare.

【It’s annoying… ! How far are you going to disturb me, you little creatures no bigger than insects! Do you think that if you gather enough numbers, you can overthrow me? I will shatter your ridiculous delusions!!

Even excluding 〈Reverse Heaven〉 and 〈Corruption〉, Vritra’s power transcends common sense. It surpasses the level of Elder Dragon, which can be said to be on par with a fully matured Transcendant, and in terms of its scale of power, it is several times more powerful than Leon and Cassim combined.

However, the people who gathered at this decisive battle site were all Mencius who had overthrown something stronger than themselves.

He meets the pressure without taking a single step back.

“–Goes.”

Leon already had a hunch.

Although the ally’s power has become effective due to the nullification of <Reverse Heaven>, there is no significant difference in the odds of victory itself.

If you are pushed back even once, it is impossible to turn the game over.

If so, I had to risk everything at this moment.

Hwareuk.

Pure white flames enveloped him, along with the feeling as if his soul was burning inside his body.

Sun Sword

Red Lotus Samsik (Red Lotus Samsik)

Corona

A white brilliance floating behind you like a halo.

Since 〈Reverse Heaven〉 has been broken, there is no need to use all attacks with the Heart Sword. As if replacing the mental power that has been wasted so far, physical strength and aura fill the empty space.

A pair of wings transformed into plasma flicker.

and.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Leon, who broke through the 1-second comma range, struck down Vritra’s horn violently.

The ground sinks due to the immense pressure, and dust rises up, but is immediately cleared. Vritra’s tail tore through the air several times, and Leon, who had left the gap half a beat before her, caught her breath.

1 sum up to here.

As if digging into that moment, Hackapell ran forward.

Heavenly God Wind Treasure

Jin Po Pung Chakyeong (眞 捕風捉影)

It was a technique that Barg had shown in the past, but it was more than four times as powerful.

As if to prove the legend of the first Beast King, a storm rages.

Cheonrangshinpungak (天狼迅風脚)

Secret righteousness

Jinrei twenty-seven battles

Although each hit will only result in a minor injury, if you get hit all 27 times, even Vritra’s durability won’t be able to withstand it.

The guy who sensed this spread his wings and wrapped himself in a circle.

A dragon’s wings are not made of a thin membrane and framework like a bat, but are a type of magic organ. A wall stronger than the 8th tier defensive magic is built, so even the storm disappears without being able to break through.

However, taking advantage of the opportunity that he had switched to a defensive stance, humanity’s strongest warriors each delivered special moves.

Total annihilation of all things

type 3

Cham-gong (斬空)

Pansan sword (破山劍)

Type 1

Taishan tack (泰山壓頂)

Vibrato

Orchestra of Fist

The shock waves that cut through space, collapse mountains, and tear and destroy the very foundation of matter continue to explode.

The crater had already expanded several times.

The force released in the aftermath of the decisive battle weighs down the ground and even destroys the rubble, expanding space. Without even intending to, the entire area spread out like an open field.

The attacks of the Titan warriors pound the ground, pushing Vritra further into the corner, and every time she shows signs of spreading her wings to attempt a counterattack, Hackapell pushes her back with repeated strikes.

“Constellation magic, 〈Orion〉.”

Astrid’s spell overloads the five orbs and even mobilizes the circles within her body to fill them with two stars.

<Constellation Magic> was by no means omnipotent.

Even if you reduce the burden with the Special Artifact Pro, there are 5 or more great magic methods that are related to life. Even knowing this, Astrid boldly created a constellation requiring seven stars.

“A long time ago, a hunter was born who could even surpass the realm of the gods. He declared that he would kill all animals with his skill, which drew the wrath of the gods, and he was killed by the arrow of a deceived lover.”

Although it required several times more magical power than Cassiopeia, the result was a single arrow. The reason the gods were angry at Orion’s declaration was because he could really kill all the beasts on earth.

It shouldn’t be like that.

Therefore, he was executed as a punishment, but he remained an object of reverence for the arrows he shot as the best hunter.

Keying.

The arrow, which turned into a single flash of light, accurately pierced the gap in Vritra’s wing. It wasn’t Astrid’s goal, it was Orion’s ability to penetrate the enemy’s weak points.

【Kaaaaaaaa——!!】

Anger at being hurt by small creatures and fear at finding himself in a corner. Faced with the risk that 300 years of patience would be in vain, Vritra’s madness boiled over.

As soon as its two wings were torn apart, it released its power in all directions, expanding its siege and manifesting its power.

‘Attunement’, an innate ability that has been corrupted due to the Devil’s convenience.

An ability that forcibly opened the demonic realms that existed throughout the continent.

Pap-duk! Pap deud deuk! Quick!

The body, which was about 3 meters long, swells with a terrible sound.

It is wrapped in a disgusting mass of flesh, functional yet ugly tentacles sprout from the flesh, and it transforms into a monster, containing a godhead that should not exist in this world within its body.

Only a few pieces of the characteristics of the dragon race remain.

Horns sprouting from the top of the head and reptilian eyes.

The eyes, clouded with madness, become even more distorted with malice.

【… burrwlemf… Jeonqn… Killek… 】

It was then.

“““Execution of divine punishment!”””

Not only did the power of <Reverse Heaven> disappear, but the person who activated the foreign law in earnest was no longer an exception to divine punishment.

Ellahan, who had gathered divine power with the three cardinals, immediately aimed at the Seongcheolsae and opened a portal above Vritra’s head. Heavenly light shoots out from the distant sky.

It was a blow of greater and clearer brilliance than usual, as if it contained the goddess’s own emotions.

Vritra, weighed down by that pillar of light, went crazy.

【■■■■■■■■■——!!!】

Several people are staggered by the storm of mental waves that are filled with nothing but madness, anger, and murderous intent. Even though he was corrupted into a demon lord, he was able to move without being burned by the light of divine punishment, perhaps because his original race was a dragon.

An unholy darkness is born from the body of a creature that has grown to over 5 meters tall by mutating through external methods.

Leon saw that and shouted urgently.

“Breath is coming!”

A dragon’s breath, unlike a wyvern’s, had the ability to compress and release the magic power circulating within the body. It can be used anywhere on the body even if it is not spit out through the mouth.

Since there is no large hole like a mouth, the nozzle becomes smaller, but the power and essence do not change at all.

Leon, who was caught off guard, clenched his molars.

—————————.

It was ‘Doom Breath’.

The darkness emanating from the pores of Vritra’s body had already swept across all directions from the moment it appeared. There were some who took refuge in a small blind spot, but they were unable to completely avoid an attack that was faster than the speed of light.

Tyrone, an adventurer whose left arm was torn off along with his prized greatsword, let out a helpless laugh.

“… crazy.”

It had to be that way.

〈Doom Breath〉 did not aim at a specific target, but swept all over the place as if declaring that it would destroy the world.

Even with 〈Auror Blade〉, the limit was to slightly bend the trajectory.

Tyrone knelt down, coughing up a few sips of blood.

Surprisingly, it was pretty good.

“Berith! Hey, come to your senses!”

Even if you hit your cheek hard enough to make a clanking sound, your eyes that have lost their light do not move.

Cardinal Beride.

In return for protecting several people with the tower shield, the darkness that penetrated even the shield mercilessly cut out his heart and lungs.

Irexana held Adella’s hand.

“Please stop.”

“Small! Damn it!”

Irexana, who closed Berid’s eyes, threw away the only ax that was left and took out a new weapon.

“Hmm, I guess I’ll have to take on the next village chief role again.”

Vulkan, the lone survivor among the Titan warriors, muttered in a rough voice.

If it weren’t for Galek and Sarunga, he too would have been killed or maimed, but they sacrificed themselves to save at least one of their strength.

Vulcan, leaving behind the bodies of his friends, growled fiercely.

“… … Rodelin, are you okay?”

《The damage rate of the core body is 34%. It is difficult to continue the battle further due to the complete damage to the external combat armor, but there is no problem.》

“Whew, that’s a relief.”

There was no time to hide in the shadows, so Karen, protected by Rodelin, let out a long sigh.

Is it because it has such a large body?

<Doom Breath> pierced through Rodelin’s external combat armor like a honeycomb, but ended up only grazing a few strands of the core body. You could say it was a blessing in disguise.

Astrid blocked it by sacrificing three orbs, and Cedric offset it with the power he had accumulated in Dainslife.

‘Half of them were neutralized in one attack.’

Only Leon split the <Doom Breath> from the front and went one step further, aiming at Vritra, who was defenseless right after the attack.

Starlight flows through the blade of the holy sword El Cid.

When I developed 〈Solitary Light〉 while writing 〈Corona〉, a light almost three times darker and more intense than usual was born. I don’t even want to imagine how enormous the backlash would be.

Ignoring the cold sweat running down his back, Leon passed through time that seemed to have stopped.

‘you can do it. No, I have to do it!’

Leon was not the only one who was exhausted and injured.

If Tyrone, Astrid, other adventurers, Titan warrior commanders, and the cardinals were in perfect condition, more than half of them would not have been knocked out by <Doom Breath>.

It was absolutely impossible to continue the battle any further than this.

Solitary star light

crown

By stabbing, not cutting.

The sword aimed at the heart, which can be said to be the core organ of the dragon race, flashes. If you divide 1 comma second into dozens of pieces, you will be able to see the sword path moving forward like flowing water.

It’s a final blow.

Leon’s eyes, who were sure of that, froze when he saw something.

‘——What.’

Vritra’s eyes were staring at him.

I knew it would come like this, I was waiting for this moment.

The pupil, devoid of any trace of madness, keenly scanned his right arm. His arm was empty as he grabbed the holy sword with one hand while throwing a thrust, and neglected defense because he was only thinking about attacking.

As time accelerated to its limit, Vritra spoke.

【I saw through this body.】

what? And I couldn’t even question it.

Leon was just thrilled.

【Unlike you, Kasim was able to use his whole body with his sword. But you don’t use anything other than your sword. No, it would be more accurate to say that he couldn’t write.】

I was caught through.

He saw through it that he was an imperfect transcendental, and that he could not even be called a threat without the holy sword.

So, Vritra deliberately left a gap.

He wasted his strength by making it look like he was going crazy, and exposed his heart so that Leon misjudged that it was time to deliver the final blow. Akryong, whose escape route was blocked, finally learned how to use even his own life as a stake.

【Now, it’s checkmate.】

Just before the holy sword El Cid’s sword pierced Vritra, the <Doom Breath> that surged from his feet severed Leon’s arm.

Due to lack of concentration, it was only able to cut off a human’s forearm with power, but that was enough.

The holy sword held in my right hand bounced into the air.

‘lost.’

The light of <Single Light> fades, the wick shakes, and even the white flame behind the back loses its heat and becomes disheveled.

The final strike failed.

I was not good enough once and lost twice.

A feeling of despair he had never experienced crawled up his ankles and calves, up his back, and grabbed his cervical vertebrae as if they were going to break them. Even my heart has forgotten its beat and is about to stop,

[What a fool.]

El Cid’s spiteful voice caught my collapsing consciousness.

[Do you still not understand why you became an imperfect transcendent?]

‘… I don’t know.’

[I wanted to realize it myself if possible, but there’s nothing I can do about it. Unlike this body, you are a dull person. The great teacher has to teach me everything!]

Leon burst out laughing without realizing it.

[You are a transcendent, Leon.]

‘What is that?’

[Once you have crossed the boundary of transcendence, perfection and imperfection are concepts that do not actually exist. However, the reason you cannot use the Heart Sword without the Holy Sword is because you are simply dependent on the Holy Sword.]

‘On the holy sword… ‘Did you depend on it?’

[To be exact, you’re relying on me.]

Leon’s mind was bleached after being hit by El Cid.

[Ever since you picked me out on the hill behind the academy, you have always believed in me and followed me. There is no doubt that it was I who brought you to this place, overcoming the limits I thought was fate. That’s why you rely on me and can’t trust ‘yourself’ without me.]

Therefore, an impossible flaw arose in the supposedly perfect “Sword of the Heart.”

Holy sword El Cid.

A symbol of a hero that contains the soul of Rodrik, his teacher and idol.

The sword that was supposed to be just an image existed outside.

[Trust you, Leon.]

El Cid spoke calmly.

[You can do well without me. Coming this far and what you have shown me so far have always exceeded my expectations. Even if I lose the holy sword, you are a great warrior and a great warrior.]

‘… … It doesn’t suit me.’

[ok?]

‘Saying words of encouragement and nice things doesn’t really suit me.’

[No, why is it a fight even if I say nice things?!]

Feeling the will that had subsided due to despair rising again like the sunrise, Leon was ashamed of the fact that he had been revived by a few words of encouragement from El Cid.

At the same time, I agreed.

Even though he accomplished many things as a hero, even the moment he faced the Demon King Vritra. Despite this, he couldn’t imagine himself being able to exist without El Cid.

‘I’m being pushed on my back until the end.’

Still, I don’t feel resentful or single-minded.

Even the emptiness of my right arm that disappeared along with El Cid was nothing compared to the flame that was now born in my heart.

Warrior Leon. It was from this moment that I could be proud of that name even though I did not hold El Cid.

Leon-style Mind-Blade

Solitary star light

Appearance

Starlight gathers in the grasp of the empty left hand, materializing into the same shape as the holy sword El Cid.

Even after letting go of his dependence on El Cid, there was only one type of sword he could think of.

Vritra’s triumphant pupils split thinly.

The emotions visible within were fear and begging. I don’t want to die. It was a natural expression of emotion.

‘It’s unforgivable to you.’

Leon thrust the blade in without a moment of hesitation.

Like the starlight that softly falls at dawn.

Sigh!

The Dragon Heart, stained black with fragments of the Demon King, was shattered by a blade made of starlight.
