Level up with swords (300)
At that moment, Leon was certain.
Vritra dies.
Immortality realized through external methods and the vitality inherent as a dragon are meaningless in front of <Sword of the Heart>. Since it was a power that destroyed the opponent at the law level, an equivalent power was required to counter it.
However, Vritra simply accepted the devil’s side and did not ascend to the realm of god in and of itself.
The Dragon Heart, which can be said to be the most vulnerable vital point to dragons, was shattered to pieces of the Demon King residing within it, and he was inevitably destined to die.
——————————.
A death-like silence descends.
Likewise, all the people who sensed the death of the Demon King remained silent.
Only Vritra looked down at the starlight stuck in the center of her chest, as if denying the reality that had come before her. Long, slit pupils and bright yellow irises vibrate slightly, revealing distrust.
【… This body has been defeated?】
The scales, which had been dyed black by the power of the Demon King, split one by one, losing their color like gray hair.
The magical power that had been boiling infinitely subsides, and the power that seemed to be able to grab the sky and the earth and tear it apart disappears.
The starlight, which had consumed most of its power as it penetrated his body, soon dimmed, fading away as if it had never been there to begin with. However, the wound pierced by the starlight sword only widened further.
【… This can’t be happening. like this… It will be, Lee.】
No matter how much I denied it, the reality before me did not change.
The victory that was within my grasp was far away beyond the sky, and death, which I had been ignoring and running away from for hundreds of years, was behind me.
Despair and anger fill in the gaps left by madness.
If you can’t have it, destroy it.
My selfish and narrow-minded nature created a resolve that I could not have made as soon as I knew my life would end.
Goddess, if you will reject me.
【This body, Vritra… also! I will reject this world!】
Even though it hits the final blow, it does not die instantly.
The vitality overflowing in my body left me with the energy to move for a few minutes even with my heart missing.
Vritra moves.
The one who realized this fact before anyone else was Leon, who was barely able to stand on his own two legs at a short distance away.
“Tsk, you’re a lousy guy to the end.”
The emotion revealed on his face is a resignation that is even reassuring.
There was no strength left to recreate the <Heart Sword>, and even his right arm was blown away along with the Holy Sword.
Ten claws flew in fiercely from left and right.
It was a raw gesture with no magic or martial arts involved, but it had enough destructive power. Leon, whose artifacts had all been lost due to repeated collisions, had no means of defense.
Still, I won.
He was able to reliably perform his duties as a warrior.
‘thank god.’
Leon closed his eyes while thinking that,
“——You’re too quick to give up, heir.”
I could feel the wind pressure of the claws tearing the air dangerously before my eyes. His eyes widened as he remembered someone’s voice, which was profound yet somehow murky.
Beast King Hakapel.
Fenrir, who could boast of being the best in the world when it comes to sprinting, was supporting Leon.
“Hakapel… sir?”
“Please feel free to call me. “If it’s Rick’s ex-brother, he’s someone I can’t look down on.”
As Leon heard those words, he looked back at Vritra and realized that the distance had increased by hundreds of meters in the blink of an eye.
It was an absurd speed.
Vritra, who lost sight of the hated enemy in front of her, soon finds Hackapell and Leon and turns towards them.
but.
“You can’t pass from here, lizard.”
Rotating the spear that had been cut in half, the warrior leader Vulkan blocked the guy’s path.
A spirit so strong that it distorts the atmosphere.
The Titan’s obstruction, which could have been seen as laughable in just a few minutes, is now holding him back.
Moreover, Vulcan was not the only one in the way.
“It doesn’t suit my taste to cut down a dying person, but I can’t help it because it’s a sign of my inadequacy.”
Cedric, who brought out all the power of 〈Dine Life〉,
“… I will concentrate on your assistance. “I’m not confident that I can accurately tell the difference between friend and friend at this distance.”
Astrid activated the two remaining orbs again,
“Can you fight more, Adella?”
“If you tell me to leave, I will kill you first… ?”
Irexana and Adela, rearmed with more anger than sadness,
“Taking time is my specialty.”
“If possible, we will end it with our own hands, sister.”
Karen and Ellahan blocked the guy with murderous faces.
Some people were in a state of complete exhaustion, while others were exhausted.
Even though it was in a dying state, it was an ancient dragon called Vritra, and even though it had lost the power of the Demon Lord, its bare body’s fighting power was at a level that greatly exceeded even that of a disaster level monster.
Nevertheless, not a single one backs down or is afraid and confronts them.
From Vritra’s point of view, the bugs that he could have easily trampled to death just a few minutes ago were gathering their strength to fight him.
【go away–!!】
With a roar that shook the ground, the dragon transformed into a strange shape and attacked on all fours. Tentacles that had dried out and protruded from the skin, ugly protrusions sticking out of each bone joint, and muscles that were swollen big and small to the point where the balance of the limbs was unbalanced.
There was no trace of the dragon, which was even beautiful.
Wow!

Vulcan, who thrust his spear between Vritra’s eyes, bounced off and rolled on the ground, and Cedric entered the empty space and slashed his sword.
A blow from <All Crushing>.
Even though he was in a near-death state, the blade did not go all the way in, and in an instant, Vritra struck the stiffened Cedric with his tail. Cedric, with several of his ribs broken, coughs up blood and collapses.
1 second to here.
As Vritra tried to take a step, her legs dug into the ground, which had become soft like a swamp, and struck a gap in her quadrupedal walking.
【A lowly elf bitch… !】
Without even having time to vent my anger to Astrid,
“Death to heresy.”
“Dude!!”
Irexana’s mace struck the jaw, and Adela’s regime cracked a pair of fangs and struck the cheek.
【Kaaaaaaaa——!!!】
Anger is greater than pain.
Things that could have been easily stomped to death just a moment ago have forgotten how to control themselves and are climbing up!
The feeling of shame at myself for not being able to attack those arrogant guys causes me to become even more angry, and my already cloudy eyes become even more distorted and I go crazy.
Jet black dance
With his muscles contracting in rage, he tore up the swampy ground and headed toward Vritra, who was about to jump into the sky.
Projection type 5
Torachiri (兎羅雉罹)
Dozens of pairs of arms rose from its shadow and wrapped around the massive body.
The restraint of shadows materialized in 〈Auror Blade〉.
As the guy lost his momentum just before leaping and stumbled, Ellahan took advantage of that moment and hit Seongcheolsae again.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
Due to the tremendous impact, the large head was thrown upward, and the body, weighing tens of tons, rose from the ground.
Vritra stumbled from the concussion she had experienced for the first time in her life.
A ray of reason comes back to me in such great shock and pain.
‘It’s all wrong. If this continues, rather than killing him, his life will be taken away by insignificant things.’
I couldn’t give my life up to the hands of bastards, even though I would rather be killed by a warrior.
He must take revenge on the goddess who rejected him.
If you can’t kill the hero, leave the biggest wound.
So that I can remember myself every time I see that scar.
【… Hehehehehehehehehehehehe!!】
Vritra suddenly stopped in place and went crazy.
Adela saw that and twirled her index finger.
“What, have you finally cracked up?”
“No problem. Since the source of power has been destroyed, there is a clear limit to how strong one can become with madness.”
It was just as Irexana said.
Madness amplifies one’s physical abilities and mental power beyond their limits, but being pushed to the edge only hastens death.
Nevertheless, the explosive power could not be underestimated, so the strong people surrounding Leon held their breath as if protecting him. Since we cannot know what a madman is thinking, the best response is to improvise.
Increase reaction speed to the limit and focus on counterattack.
It was that moment.
Phew.
In front of all of them, Vritra flew up with not even a single inch of her body left intact.
Even if the wing was broken, there was no problem.
A dragon’s flight ability can be used even without wings. The wings are ultimately just an auxiliary organ, and for a dragon that can directly control the mana in the air, this was an easy task.
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…? !
Seeing the guy quickly disappearing beyond, someone who was speechless muttered.
“… You ran away? “Now that you’ve come?”
“If I did that, I would die soon.”
“He was ugly until the end.”
Those who scoff, those who doubt, and those who feel reassured.
People who had stretched out their weapons relaxed by spewing out words that were closer to a monologue than a conversation.
As the nerves, which had been stretched so tightly as if they were about to break, became loose, some people stumbled as if they would faint at any moment. It was such a difficult and dangerous fight.
“Hero! “I’ll attach your arm!”
When Ellahan, who was carrying his torn right arm, applied healing techniques to his cross section, a soft light flowed out, soothing his tired body.
Leon, who stored the holy sword in its scabbard, blinked.
His eyelids were getting heavier, trying to break his consciousness.
[–no way.]
After hearing El Cid’s tense voice, I shook my head.
I had a headache and dizziness, but it was bearable.
Leon, thinking about the people around him, asked carefully.
‘what’s the matter?’
[…] Do you remember what was in the direction that guy went?]
‘The direction Vritra fled to? If it’s over there, obviously… ‘
Leon soon realized what El Cid was implying and turned pale.
〈Dimension Crack〉.
It is the largest and most dangerous demon world on this continent, and a hell where no one but Cassim can survive. It’s a shame that the Titans have continued to manage it until today, otherwise the monsters that came out from beyond the cracks would have taken over the entire mountain range.
A place where countless transcendent species live, where even S-rank monsters can be placed at the bottom of the food chain.
[If that idiot risks his life to tear open the ‘dimensional rift,’ this world will end.]
‘If it’s Vritra… ‘I can commit it.’
It’s so shabby that it’s hard to believe it’s a dragon, it’s small and cunning, and it’s the embodiment of malice. The possibility that he would try to drag this world along as his companion like a water ghost was very high.
Leon, who escaped Ellahan’s embrace, unfolded ‘Icarus Wings’.
“Hero… ?”
“What’s wrong, warrior? “What else is there?”
Ellahan looks at him with a puzzled look, and Karen looks around with a puzzled look.
There is no time to explain to them and ask for their understanding.
so.
“Just in case, I’ll check on Vritra’s death and come back. “I have recovered a bit, so even if I fight again, I won’t lose.”
“yes? wait for a sec… ”
“Don’t worry, Ella.”
Leon just smiled.
It is the role of a hero to reassure people with a smile.
“Everything will be okay.”
At the same time, platinum wings flashed, pushing Leon into the distant sky. He surpassed hypersonic speed in a matter of seconds and soon found a place where he could feel Vritra’s presence.
It was just as El Cid had expected.
The core of the Titan Mountains, where a dimensional rift exists.
【… … It’s late, hero.】
Waiting in front of him was a dragon that looked like it was about to fall dead at any moment.
All of the scales had fallen off, and the exposed skin had dried out miserably.
The appearance of being so thin that the joints of the bones protruded above the skin was clearly not normal.
“Did you commit it, did you?”
Leon said with contemptuous eyes.
Vritra nodded without hiding it.
【Even though the power of the Demon King residing in my heart has disappeared, I am an existence based on the natural order of this dimension. If you sacrifice me, it is also possible to provide the monsters from the outer dimension with the right to ‘rightly come over to this dimension.’】
“Crazy guy!”
【Hehe, it’s your victory. However, it is your loss.】
Instead of listening to Vritra’s words any further, Leon swung the sword with his left arm instead of his right arm, which had not yet recovered.
The light emitted from the tip of the sword flashed, and Vritra’s hideously distorted face rolled on the ground. These were shabby words for the archbishop of an evil sect that had been lurking in secret for centuries and was trying to bring about destruction on the entire continent.
Leon stepped on the head and looked at the <Dimension Crack>, a demonic sight that had become several times larger than the last time.
“… … “How do you do this?”
[You can never close it with your own strength.]
El Cid declared without any hesitation.
[You should not think about famous songs. At that time, it was easy to close because the decision was made to close both inside and outside. But that magic mirror is like a powder keg about to explode. If you prick it once with the <Heart Sword>, it will spread and the monsters inside will come out.]
“… … ha ha ha.”
Leon was devastated and sat down on the spot.
What if I jump in there and take down all the monsters? It was impossible to attach the premise that Even Kasim’s limit was to moderately control his numbers by hitting and running away, but he handles it all by himself?
He didn’t know if Rodrik came back alive, but it was beyond his capabilities.
It’s just like what Vritra said.
He won, but lost.
Vritra, facing death, ignored the oath he had made himself, turned the tables, and succeeded.
[Well, for a guy like you, you did well.]
However, El Cid’s voice was calm and weak.
Even though he was on the verge of destruction, he was confident as always.
The reason was simple.
[Now it’s my turn.]
“… … what?”
[If there is something the disciple cannot do, the teacher will have to step in.]
El Cid said.
[Throw me into that crack.]
“… “What a sound.”
[Throw me, this holy sword, into that demonic realm. Then everything will be resolved.]
“So what are you talking about!”
Leon shouted.
“What can be solved by just throwing in a sword?! Well, the holy sword also has a self-destruct function… ”
[Is that possible, you idiot?]
El Cid, who gave him the excuse, explained.
[The reason I cannot act directly in this dimension is because the law of causality restricts those who have ascended to the upper class. however.]
“however?”
[From beyond, causality cannot interfere. I can use my full power to wipe out monsters and close rifts. Well, that’s the story.]
“… but.”
Leon pointed out something overlooked in his story.
“What’s beyond is an external dimension? “If you close the rift inside, how are you going to get out?”
[…] … .]
“Answer me.”
[…] … Won’t it work out somehow?]
“-Do not be ridiculous!”
Leon screamed as if he was letting out all the anger he had built up.
“Leaning on you until the end?! Throw you out of the dimension and tell me to save the world!? If that’s the case, I’ll follow along! “If you’re doing so well, you can take me with you!”
[Ah, I don’t like that.]
“why!”
El Cid said with a chuckle.
[Do you know how many years it’s been since you’ve been hanging out with that sweaty guy all day and night? I also want to have some alone time.]
“you… !”
[therefore.]
My mind and body, exhausted to the limit, and my mind shaken by El Cid’s joke, exposed cracks that would not normally have been visible.
I was caught off guard.
Leon suddenly realized that his right arm had drawn the holy sword and was holding the end of the sword hilt. Unknowingly? No, that can’t happen.
El Cid had intervened in his less healed nervous system.
“No, don’t do that! Stop! “You son of a bitch!!”
[See you later, you foolish disciple.]
The right arm, which even I could not control, naturally let go of the sword, drawing a semicircle and falling beyond the <dimensional rift>.
Leon hurriedly tried to grab the hilt of his sword with his left hand, but
[For an outing after 300 years, it was a pretty good trip.]
One beat before that, the holy sword was sucked in.
It was right after that.
——————————!!!
The light emitted from the ‘Dimension Crack’ bounced Leon away.
A power that does not feel hostile.
El Cid’s interference was clear.
“hey! El Cid! “You piece of shit!”
Even though he was thrown away tens of meters, he immediately stood up and returned to his original position.
then,
already.
“… … “El Cid.”
Looking into empty space, Leon was just silent.
He stared into space without moving a single step until people came after him, who did not return.
The subjugation of the demon king that began in the Titan Mountains ended like this.
