Overpowered Sword Chapter 34

Level up with swords (34)

It was that night.

Leon’s action in rescuing a helper named Cesare was swift. Even if he took more time, there was no way he could increase his power, and the number of people who would be sacrificed would only increase.

More than anything, the fact that he visited the church was problematic.

If they ignore it as nothing special, they might not know, but if they overreact, they might hasten disaster. Because the power of the Holy Church was so amazing.

“Have you been waiting?”

At that time, Cesare arrived in front of the abandoned mansion.

He looked like he was wearing a suspicious-looking robe.

Since he couldn’t go to a den of criminals wearing priestly clothes, he disguised himself in these clothes. Moreover, since elves were a fairly rare race in Blaine, it was easy to get caught up in unnecessary disputes.

Of course, Cesare will not be hurt in the altercation, but being noticed is a burden in itself.

It is best to infiltrate as smoothly as possible.

“It hasn’t been long. “Let’s go right away.”

“Yes, brother.”

The two entered the slum with unstoppable steps.

A few steps ahead of Leon, Cesare walks with a gap between him and him as if he is not walking with him. It was very suspicious to see him wearing a black robe, but it was normal clothing in the slums.

Leon, who was walking ahead, immediately felt a sense of discomfort.

The Auricence was still reading Cesare’s presence, unable to detect him with his remaining senses.

[It is a type of Aura-Skill.]

El Cid answered the question.

[It’s a technique that uses auras to disperse one’s presence. It’s difficult to use while moving, but I’m quite skilled at it. You seem to have quite a bit of experience in infiltration missions.]

‘I can feel it in my Aura sense?’

[That’s because of the attributes of an Auror.]

The difference in skill between Leon and Cesare is large.

Normally, it was a presence that should not have been recognized even if it died or woken up, but the characteristics of an Auror went beyond even that difference.

The highest attribute, the sun.

Also, it was because Cesare’s auror attributes responded to him.

[I guessed it when I used Auror Fire, but this confirms it. That guy’s auror attribute is ‘Moon’.]

‘moon… ? ‘This is my first time hearing it.’

Leon asked back with his eyes wide open.

Although it is worse than the sun, the moon is also a higher attribute, and there is no significant difference in terms of level of rarity. Nevertheless, unlike Taeyang, who gained fame, word of mouth did not spread that much.

El Cid’s explanation went further than that.

[When the Moon Aura comes in contact with the Sun Aura, its power becomes stronger, and its quiet and calm personality tends to become a bit harsh. That’s why you can read that elf’s presence. Stealth has become poor for you as you react to the power of the sun.]

‘Oh, that’s it.’

Since they are forces that influence each other, it is natural to know their location. The sun and the moon are both rare properties, but I never thought they would meet at such good timing.

Is it a coincidence, or is this also inevitable?

Leon kept walking while thinking about that.

Before I knew it, the road was becoming increasingly dark.

The number of people laughing and talking decreases one by one, and the area where drunk people turn away gets closer. It was an area ruled by a violence-oriented gang organization, centered around the Bastards.

‘… The welcome greeting is very grand.’

His skin tingles from the outpouring of malice.

Leon felt the presence of Cesare approaching every three steps, and entered a barely lit alley.

Broken windows, the smell of alcohol and blood.

I walk along a road that looks ominous at first glance.

and… … .

“hey.”

A one-eyed thug blocked their path.

“Who gets to use this road as they please? This is the area of ​​“Mad Dog.” “Even if you come in without knowing anything, rules are rules, so I’ll have to pay a fine.”

“A fine?”

“OK! About 1 gold would be appropriate. It’s okay even if it’s not enough. “If you give everything you have and go back, I won’t kill you.”

Leon was so shocked that he was at a loss for words.

‘Mad Dog’ is an organization I’ve never heard of. Either he made it up to make it look cool, or it means he’s really trash. There was no way those guys would commit robbery alone.

Sure enough, when I expanded my Aura Sense, I saw about 10 people hiding in the corner of the alley.

“Brother, shall I handle it?”

“Oh, it’s okay.”

Cesare, who was taking a step forward, is stopped.

If he was going to solve it by force, he alone would have been enough. At least it would be better than having mincemeat sprinkled all over this road.

Leon first took out a dagger from his chest.

“what!? “Do you want to have a game with us?”

When One-Eyed sees the dagger and screams, the hidden thugs come out and surround the two.

It was a group armed with clubs, axes, and curved swords. Although it looked quite threatening on the outside, its level was truly horrendous. There was not a single person who knew how to handle Aurors.

If you fight, they will kill you in 10 seconds, but you shouldn’t.

“Look.”

When I threw the dagger, One-Eyed took it and looked at it with an expression of confusion.

Immediately after that, his complexion instantly became pale.

“Ba, baba, bababa…” !”

The guy immediately fell as if he was convulsing, then slammed his head on the ground and screamed.

“I didn’t know you were from <Bastard>! “Please save me!”

An admirable change of attitude!

Apparently, One-Eyed was the leader of the gang, and the whole gang hung their heads and cried out for help.

Leon was appalled by the extraordinary sight, but this was natural in the slums, where one mistake could cost one’s life. Those who were more perceptive would cut off their fingers or even gouge out their eyes and beg for their lives.

“It’s noisy, everyone get up first.”

“yep!”

As the representative, One-Eyed stood up and answered.

“If you go this way, you’ll find District 23, right?”

“Yes, that’s right. But in District 23… .”

“I know everything there is. So, take care of your kids and get the hell out of there. “If I see you one more time, I won’t let you go.”

“Hey, I understand!”

The robbers retreated without any hesitation. Just looking at the speed at which he ran away, he seemed to be faster than most apprentice knights.

Leon began to move forward again.

After walking for a few more minutes, he asked Cesare a question he had not been able to solve on his own.

“Bishop, was my choice right?”

To be honest, I could have killed them all.

It was better to avoid bloodshed if possible, but killing a few robbers was not a problem.

However, Leon prepared for the unexpected. I deleted small variables out of fear that even one chance it would lead to a big mistake. But wouldn’t it be his responsibility if those robbers later rob and kill someone?

That minor conflict never left my mind.

“Of course, brother.”

However, Cesare agreed without much hesitation. He understood Leon’s concerns and spoke in a sermon like a bishop.

“If I had come forward, the result would have been the same. The denomination does not define such evildoers as ‘enemies.’ This is because they can be reformed, and it is not their fault alone that they committed the crime. “Because our enemy is the world that has turned them into villains.”

“Like this slum… ?”

“That’s right. Poverty and ignorance breed evil. “If they had grown up in a rich environment and received the right education, they would have become people who can show kindness to others.”

‘One,’ continued Cesare.

“There are sins that cannot be forgiven. “Like heretics like those who are visiting now, who blaspheme life and cannot thank the Goddess for her mercy.”

Leon, who was quietly listening to those words, got chills.

There was not a single tremor in Cesare’s voice. Like the calm before a storm, even the shaking is suppressed so as not to waste energy before the fight.

Holy Iron Chain Knights.

Even if you say compassionate things with a kind face, does it mean that the hidden faith inside you is still there?

“―District 23, entering.”

Leon looked at the map and whispered carefully.

From here on, it was the territory of the enemy, ‘evil’.

Cesare looked at the red-stained wall and ground several times and briefly reflected on the scale of the bloodshed. The land where over 500 mercenaries died has not yet grown a single weed.

The area is just dark because the lighting has not been restored. Two men quietly dug in there.

‘Not on the ground. Let’s take the side road that Khan showed us.’

The sound disappears when you walk with awareness of the method. Cesare was slightly startled by the sight, but she soon followed behind Leon, obliterating the sound of her footsteps.

There are buildings lined up that are not maintained at all.

Leon found a place with eight broken windows and a window stuck in the roof, and climbed over the wall.

“This place?”

“This is a place prepared by <Fang>. “They dug up the ground underneath the building and made a shortcut.”

“… “For a gangster, he has a lot of brains.”

Cesare smiled bitterly and took a step forward.

He too may have felt the danger of ‘Khan’. He didn’t do anything that just a gangster would do. He has the charisma to control thugs who have no military skills or anything, and he has great power and a cunning mind. After evil is defeated, there will truly be no one who can stop it.

Anyway, I had to use this route for now.

Leon and Cesare squeezed themselves into the narrow hole and continued duck-walking for several minutes. A poor person would not even be able to go halfway and would have developed cramps in his thighs.

“Shh.”

Suddenly Cesare stopped and looked up.

Hearing a sound from above, he put his index and middle fingers straight up and stabbed the ceiling.

The rock, which should be solid, opens up like tofu.

And someone’s voice came out from that hole. Not just one person. Two, no three. At least three people were talking above their heads.

“Is this all for today?”

“Yeah, I didn’t meet my quota because that damn girl rebelled. “I had to deal with twelve more people.”

“Honestly, 70 people a day is a bit much. “Even if the ritual continues non-stop from early in the morning, it’s still midnight when it’s all over.”

“I guess all the chores are our responsibility. “You bastards.”

Leon’s eyes burned at the words he heard.

I already had a sense of justice because of the sun’s aura, but it was hard to be patient when I had such evil people in front of me.

70 people a day? That continued for three months?

Even in fairly large territory battles, there are no such casualties. It was impossible for a human to commit such a massacre and then have a normal conversation. That shouldn’t have happened.

‘You guys cut it here…’ !’

Anger that burns out all reason.

It felt like the blood flowing inside my body had turned into magma. Even El Cid did not stop him further. Even though he was a piece of soul, he was also a warrior. He has experienced situations like this countless times.

Evil must be destroyed.

Sin must be punished.

As instructed, Leon aimed his sword at the ceiling.

“――Brother, I will go first.”

But Cesare took the first step.

If you think about it, it was natural.

There was no way that a Holy Knight, who was a member of the Holy Iron Chain Knights and once went on a rampage with the goal of eradicating heresy, would turn a blind eye to this great evil.

Wow!

It was one room.

Cesare smashed his fist once, breaking the ground, and jumped up in the direction where they were. The figure, blazing with blue aura, had already entered a battle stance a long time ago.

Question and answer dance.

Paladins who define their opponents as ‘enemies’ do not compromise, do not communicate, and do not tolerate them. We fight just to deny its existence. It was not for no reason that all the evildoers on the continent were afraid of the Holy Church and turned a blind eye to it.

Cesare’s eyes were like glass beads. If you are enacting heavenly punishment, there will be no personal feelings at that moment.

“What?! “Who are you?”

It was a sword.

In answer to that question, Cesare reached out and slashed the throat of the man closest to him. The blade of his hand stretched out at an invisible speed, tearing his cervical vertebrae with one blow and tearing his head off his body.

A blow so cruel!

That was the scene Leon saw when he came up.

“Kline!”

Only then do the enemies understand the situation and make their move.

One cried out the name of his comrade whose head had fallen off, and the other turned in Leon’s direction.

It was Cesare who moved before anyone else.

Wow.

He kicks his fallen head at the guy who called his name, and runs in half a beat later, looking for an opening.

Almost at the same time, Leon and his opponent also moved.

‘Let’s attack first!’

In the world of martial arts, the defender has an advantage over the attacker, but in the end, this is just speculation. It was even more foolish to give time to an opponent who may or may not use martial arts.

Leon rushed forward like a thunderbolt and lashed out his sword.

“You lowly bastard!”

The guy who shouted contemptuously exhaled gray-white smoke. Covering the entire body like armor was not an unusual technique at first glance.

It wasn’t magic or a spell.

The law of outer dimension.

It is a fragment of power picked up while worshiping the transcendental of another world. Pure physical force did not work for external methods, and methods using magic or aura were also unfavorable.

Only the Holy Law could overpower the Foreign Law.

Sigh!

And the Holy Sword El Cid was the ultimate weapon of that Holy Law.

“uh… ?”

“Hmph?!”

Both the person whose heart was pierced and the person whose heart was pierced were shocked at the same time.

Leon had no idea that the gray-white fog would break through with just one blow, and the other person realized too late that the power he had believed in was meaningless.

There was only one sword that denied the external law itself.

“Yes, you… dragon… buy… ah… ”

When he recognized his nemesis, his eyes widened, but his body, pierced by the holy sword, collapsed in an instant. His mouth, unable to finish a word properly, let out its last breath.

For a first fight against ‘evil’, it was a vain ending.

After defeating that one guy, Leon looked back. There was Cesare, who grabbed his enemy by the neck and lifted him up.

“Kkeokkeokkeokkeokkeokkeokkeokkeokkeokkeokkeokkeokkeokkeok, buy, save… .”

Cesare responded to the plea for his life with a light grip.

Pop!

A man with a broken neck is lying around like trash. He was holding it so tightly that even the marks where his fingers had dug into it were clear. It looked as if it were being held not by a person but by clay.

Cesare, who had destroyed the two affaires, also saw him.

“Oh, brother! “So you’ve already done it?”

“What are you going to say, Bishop…?” .”

“Well, I have some tricks. haha.”

Leon laughed as he looked around at his cruelly crushed enemy.

What tricks did he use to blow off his head with one blow and split his neck with his grip?

It seemed like there was no time to use it, even though it was a foreign law.

The first battle was over in less than 10 seconds. Although the policy of infiltrating and collecting information was completely ruined, confirming the true identity of the enemy was a reward in its own way. There was rarely evidence as clear as foreign law.

“Bishop, let’s go a little further.”

“Yes, brother. “I was going to say that too.”

Cesare immediately nodded at Leon’s suggestion.

Even though the Holy Knights have retired, their essence remains the same. Foreign law users were never acceptable targets.

The footsteps of the two men silence the sound again.

Just as it is an assassination if there are no witnesses, if you kill them all, it is also an infiltration. Hiding their deadly force within their bodies, they slowly melted into the shadows.
