Overpowered Sword Chapter 41

Level up with swords (41)

Abdominal penetration.

Needless to say, it is a fatal wound. The damage to the internal organs, as well as the bleeding and pain that occurs in the aftermath, are not something that can be tolerated with mental strength. Even for an expert who was close to being a master, continuing the battle in that state was close to impossible.

“Lord Conrad!”

So Leon rushed forward, shouting loudly.

I hoped that Conrad, who heard that voice, would be able to maintain consciousness a little longer so that he would not give up.

But the foreign magicians were not deaf either.

“It’s the enemy!”

“one? No, two! “There’s one on the ceiling too!”

“Then I’ll take care of this kid!”

The scrawny foreign wizard confidently blocked Leon.

Perhaps because of his youthful face, they seemed to look down on him.

‘One for me and two for Karen. It looks like all those lying down were killed by Sir Conrad.’

It’s not bad.

Leon calmly assessed the situation. Even though he has a holy sword, his skills are several numbers lower than Karen’s. In a one-on-one fight, there might not even be room to utilize one’s advantage.

On the contrary, Karen is a top assassin.

Considering the mobility that allowed him to freely shoot at ceilings and walls, his sneak attack using shadows, and his near-magical throwing ability, he had a good chance of winning in this one-on-one battle.

ɥɦɚøɓ! ɓɡʋʨ, ɘʃɡɘ!

At that time, the person blocking Leon’s path began to chant a strange spell. Several sentences of bizarre sounds that should not be produced by human vocal cords come out in just a few seconds.

There was no time to do anything other than stop it.

The scrawny wizard’s eyes were stained with blood, and a dark blue mist flowed from his mouth while he was reciting a spell.

ɢɣɤɥɘɚɜɜ!

The fog stirred with an evil cry.

The fog, which seemed to be alive, or indeed something alive, shimmered in the shape of a creature I had never seen before.

The foreign magician who spit it out chuckled.

“Heeheehee! Know with glory. For a bastard like you, being a ‘wandering spirit’ is truly a luxurious death!”

“… “It’s extravagant.”

Leon lowered his voice and said those words.

“That’s what I’m going to say.”

For guys like the foreign magician in front of me, the holy sword was a luxury. If possible, I wanted to cut off all of those scrawny limbs, throw them into prison as a helpless bastard, and then guillotine them.

Instead of dying in a place like this where neither rats nor birds are aware, you will have to die bearing all the criticism and resentment of people.

The mission given to Leon now was to quickly resolve the issue.

Pot!

Leon kicked the ground and rushed forward.

Behind him, golden aura scatters, and the blade next to his body moves forward, cutting through the thick darkness. It was an overly bold charge against an unidentified foreign law.

But he also had a corner of belief.

[Oebeopsa is largely divided into two categories.]

El Cid said.

[A summoning world that summons creatures or laws from an external dimension, and a mutant world that exercises external laws based on its own body. Neither one is sane, but the latter is more dangerous to you. Even if you can cut it with a holy sword, it cannot be completely removed.]

‘why?’

[Because I merged with the beings of this world. Since it is no longer a complete external object, the function of the holy sword also functions imperfectly.]

That was generally correct.

The guy who used shields and other tricks wasn’t that big of a deal, but the guy who pulled out the thorny tentacles from his body was threatening.

The summoning world and the mutation world.

By distinguishing between the two categories, I was able to roughly gauge their strengths and weaknesses.

‘and… … .’

The guy I was dealing with now was a summoner.

Leon advanced without a moment of hesitation and cut through the fog that had been engulfing his body from the front.

Then the foreign wizard who saw that laughed out loud.

“You stupid bastard! “You’re going to deal with my ‘wandering spirit’ with just an Auror weapon?”

In essence, what he said was correct.

The ‘Wandering Spirit’, summoned by the Foreign Wizard, is a being that distorted the souls that continued to wander in the gaps between dimensions. It was an evil spirit driven mad by hatred and longing for the living.

Even though the power did not work well with the spiritual body, it was even more so when it was an evil spirit that had become lost in another dimension. Only a master level that was capable of interfering with the spirit unit and a holy method that used the world’s own self-purification function was able to deal with it.

Phew!

The ‘wandering spirit’ was split in two by the blade and burst out.

He was reverse summoned with a single blow.

This is the purpose of the Holy Sword’s existence. El Cid, a holy sword created by the goddess herself, can unilaterally banish uninvited guests from another dimension. Even if its full function has not been awakened yet, as long as its owner is recognized as a hero, the holy sword’s authority is activated.

“W-what!? Nonsense, nonsensical! There’s no way something like that is possible! “Why do I use my foreign methods on that crappy Auror weapon?”

Leon didn’t answer.

Taking advantage of the momentum of cutting forward, the gap, which now only has a few steps left, is narrowed before our eyes.

The foreign magician was horrified by that murderous appearance and shouted.

ɥɦɢɣɤɥɚøɓɘɚɜɜ… !

An unknown being is summoned again.

From beyond the horizon not permitted to humans, beyond the distortion of space, a terrible monster stretches its fingers… .

Suddenly.

It was cut off.

Guided by the voice of the foreign mage, the being that was trying to cross the dimensional wall grabbed onto the cut and cried out.

For some reason I couldn’t hear anything. Is it because it has not yet crossed the dimensional wall, or is it a sound that cannot be recognized by human hearing?

It was a good story for Leon.

“die.”

Leon, who had cut down to the last struggle, thrust his sword in.

Sigh!

The blade that penetrated the defense shield cut out the heart. As if he could not believe that death was approaching, the foreign magician opened his eyes wide with shock and disbelief and vomited blood.

Does not play. Can’t play.

It is a wound that nullifies the power derived from external law.

“yes… … “That guy.”

Leon didn’t answer.

I just casually nodded once.

“Bwak.”

Only then did he understand the ending and fell limp.

When the sword was pulled out, the corpse, which had lost its support, fell down and soon turned into a gray-white ashes.

There will be no rest for those who devote themselves to external laws.

They do not even have the right to be buried in this land.

Wow!

At the same time, there was the sound of a bone breaking.

When Leon turned around at the sound, Karen, who had defeated the last one, was also looking at him. I don’t know how they killed him, but the guy behind him was hanging from the ceiling like a hanged inmate.

“What, I lost? “Is this really a f*cking joke?”

Karen scratched the back of her head with an embarrassed expression.

“Well, I guess this guy was weaker. “Don’t worry about what I said earlier.”

Leon, who almost made a mistake without realizing it, answered.

If I had said that since it was a big deal, I lost, I don’t know how Karen would have reacted when her identity was discovered.

Leon said, raising his guard once again.

“What about Lord Conrad?”

“This way.”

As I followed her to where Conrad had collapsed, my shoes clicked because of the blood pooling on the ground.

The amount of blood loss is close to lethal.

Leon, who saw it at a glance, frowned.

“… You looked unsightly. “I’m sorry.”

As the two approached, Conrad, who had been lying down, opened his eyes.

It appears that he had not lost consciousness.

“I can’t go with you in this condition. Don’t worry about me, just be good to me. At least a little later, as soon as my body recovers… .”

“Excuse me, Sir Conrad.”

Leon asked, interrupting the conversation.

“How much longer can you hold out?”

“… … Did you know?”

“That’s what it means when an Auror user like Lord Conrad can’t stop the bleeding.”

As an Auror’s skill level increases, the range of control over his or her body becomes wider. It is also possible to move only the bones and leave the muscles alone, or to stop bleeding by narrowing the blood vessels without putting pressure on them.

Nevertheless, the continued bleeding meant that there wasn’t even that much left to spare.

“I can probably last about an hour, but I don’t know much more than that.”

It’s subtle.

I wonder if it can be solved in one hour or not. Above all, it was questionable whether conditions would be available for prompt treatment immediately afterward.

Leon thought for a moment.

If he was in a situation where he couldn’t do anything, there was no need to worry, but he had a holy sword. Even in a sealed state, the recovery method can be used if the accumulated power is consumed.

‘El Cid.’

[OK.]

He winked at Karen and walked forward. Then he knelt down, stretched out one hand, and spoke reverently.

In fact, I was just reciting what El Cid had sung me.

“Goddess, grant the light of mercy to those who devote themselves to righteous deeds, and may they not tremble from the north wind in the valley of death.”

“you… ?!”

As holy light poured from Leon’s palm, Conrad opened his eyes and confirmed the reality of the light. A wound that heals quickly, a bleeding that stops completely after just a few drops.

At this level, it was at least a bishop-level holy law.

“… indeed. You said you planned this subjugation war, and now I can believe it. The reason why Sir Cesare trusts him so much. “Is he a candidate for cardinal of the Holy Order?”

Conrad spoke in a voice that had regained more strength than before.

Although he was not in a state where he could fight, his condition improved to the point where he could recover on his own. If you take proper care, you will be out of bed in less than a week.

Leon only smiled bitterly at that burdensome guess.

It felt like the misunderstanding that started in the guild was growing, but it was impossible to tell the truth.

“Oh my, that was so rude to someone who was blessed.”

But Conrad smiled shyly at his reaction.

“This seems to be something you don’t want, so Conrad will keep quiet forever, until he ascends to the priesthood.”

“thank you.”

That was all Leon could answer.

After moving Conrad near the wall and giving him some recovery medicine, the two soon returned the way they came.

How many minutes did it take to move like that?

Leon, who was moving quietly, felt a tingling sensation on his cheek.

“… “Why are you looking at me like that?”

“Hey, is this real?”

Karen, with her eyes wide open, asked as if she had been waiting.

“Isn’t it unprecedented to be a cardinal candidate at that age? Well, is it worth it if you are an auror with solar attributes and a bishop-level holy law? “You’re really good at using Auror weapons. Who did you learn it from?”

“I am not a candidate for cardinal.”

“then? Are you an apprentice to a Seongcheolsaegi knight? Teach me something. “I can’t hold back if I have any questions.”

Karen seemed to be quite curious, and even showed off her cuteness, crossing his arms. If she hadn’t known her identity, she might have had strange thoughts.

However, being closely associated with the slum’s top assassin, ‘Guardian’, was bad for one’s mental health in many ways.

“I’ll let you know later when we get closer.”

“Ugh, you’re surprisingly impregnable. Are all the kids in the church like this? “I think my body is pretty good.”

The problem was that his body was trained for killing skills.

“Who would fall for such a blatant beauty world? Let’s stop joking now and think about how to move. “Should we look for other companions, or should we rush in on our own?”

Leon said with a serious look on his face.

Conrad was able to be saved, but looking at the results alone, the goal of further increasing military power was virtually a failure.

But Karen answered those words with a smile.

“Ah, I guess you don’t have to worry about that.”

“yes? why.”

“You’ll find out when we arrive.”

It was definitely as he said.

“Brother!”

“What are you, little guys?”

When the two returned to the front of the passage, Cesare and Khan were there, having turned four foreign magicians into blood clots.

It seemed like I had joined them separately.

In some ways, it was a pretty lethal combination for a foreign magician.

Cesare, who has both overwhelming physical power and holy magic, and Khan, a fighter familiar with melee and surprise attacks as a slum fighter. It was a face that even most mutant foreign magicians would not be able to show off.

“I’m so glad you both are safe.”

As soon as Cesare finished speaking, the shadow moved.

“―――I’m fortunate, aren’t I?”

“I didn’t even know it existed.”

“is it.”

The shadow was distorted with a somewhat gloomy look.

And then the meeting, which would be the last, began.

“Sir Conrad is a slanderer. “You can recover in an hour or two, but we don’t have that much time.”

“Is that so. I can’t help it. “I have no choice but to go with five.”

Leon and Cesare discussed how this group should fight,

“Lady over there, do you have any magic tools that an adventurer could use? Use it up a lot. “If you don’t want to die while caring for it.”

“They’re going to clean up all the stuff they’ve set aside, right? “It’s shameless for people to live in slums by sucking blood.”

“What the hell?!”

Karen and Khan grumbled as if they were enemies.

In reality, the two were enemies, but the only people who knew it were Karen and Leon. An assassin who makes a living as a contract killer and a gangster who exploits others through violence. There was no way the two would get along well.

Fortunately, the story ended quickly.

Cesare, who has resistance to foreign laws, takes the lead, followed by Khan and Karen. The plan was to use Leon as a trump card, remaining in the last line, and outwitting the enemy.

“Hey, <Guardian>! “What about you?”

“If you just leave it alone, it will pay for food. “He did quite well while he was here.”

“that’s right. “I made sure to get one serving.”

When Leon defended himself, Karen immediately agreed. I could see that they were desperately trying to protect their dual identity.

Even Cesare and Khan, who had been distrustful, eventually became convinced.

If they won’t listen anyway, it’s better to leave them alone.

After reorganizing, the group approached the passage.

“… “It just feels f*cking bad.”

A dark hole where you can’t even see an inch ahead.

Khan ground his teeth as he faced the hole. Did he feel something closer to the beast?

However, the rejection seemed to have given rise to a fighting spirit, and a fighting spirit stronger than fear swelled his muscles. Battle stance. This is probably in case a fight occurs as soon as you leave the passage.

“We’re entering.”

Cesare, with a soft glow, took a step forward.

The aura of the ‘moon’ that brightens the darkness.

As soon as his figure disappeared into the passage, the others followed suit and jumped in.

It was time to put an end to this tiresome subjugation war.
