Overpowered Sword Chapter 81

Level up with swords (81)

The moment Drake appeared, all noise in the area disappeared.

Fear.

It is one of the characteristics of sub-dragon monsters. It may not be much compared to a true dragon’s peer, but Drake’s level of power is enough to make even A-rank monsters go numb.

It is truly the power of a monster that reigns at the top of the food chain!

The forest, overwhelmed by its presence, was busy ignoring the death that was just around the corner, holding its breath as both plants and animals held their breath.

“What are you going to do?”

Nevertheless, the two giants did not flinch.

All I could do was face Drake’s blood red pupils and discuss how to deal with him.

The giant with the axe spoke first.

“How about having one person stay behind to bide time and have the other person call reinforcements from a nearby guard post?”

“The nearest guard post from here is half a day away.”

“this.”

The two giants smiled bitterly, without any hesitation.

“How about each of us living together?”

“Are you confident that you won’t be overtaken by that guy within half a day?”

“… “No, I guess I could just rip off a wing.”

“You won’t be able to touch even a single wing on your own. “If we try to spread out, all we can do is die an ugly death.”

“Then is there only one answer?”

Even in the face of an S-rank monster classified as a type of disaster, the voices of the two giants did not waver.

In just a few seconds, the giants who hit Bae Su-jin increased their power.

The giant who had thrown the spear pulled a spare spear from his back, and the giant with the ax held the throwing ax with all his might in his free hand, ready to throw it at any time.

Even if we fight, the odds of winning are less than 20%.

However, if it is inevitable that you will die even if you run away, it is right to fight the threat at the risk of death.

Crumble! Crumbling!

Drake looked down at them and snorted.

The force emitted by the two giants was enough to terrify even a well-trained knight, but it was no more than a breeze to them.

It’s prey.

Drake, who decided the end of the giants, spread his wings.

“Umm… .”

The giant holding the spear groaned at its majesty. The hair on the entire body stands up, signaling the strength of the enemy in front of you.

With the two wings spread, the total length exceeds 50 meters.

Unlike a wyvern, it has tough muscles, a body covered in scales that are several times harder, and even two pairs of powerful claws. No matter what the attribute was, it was clear that the power of the breath was also fearsome.

But the two giants paid more attention to his movements than anything else.

“He knows how to fight.”

“Not the one who grew up in the mountains. “Are you from somewhere else?”

Despite its enormous size, there was no waste in its movements. The graceful flapping of its wings made no sound at all.

What about the color of the scales, which seem to have been quenched in the abyss?

That color seemed to be buried in darkness, and even the giants’ keen senses were unaware of its existence until it appeared. He couldn’t explain it simply by saying that the protective coloring worked well.

It is highly likely that it possesses stealth-type magic abilities.

Kyaaaaaaaaaaa!

That was it.

Drake commanded the Wyverns with a harsh roar, as if he was tired of snowball fights.

The Wyverns, captivated by his influence, rolled their eyes.

Even his murderous intent seems to have been contagious, and he reveals it against the giants who were terrified just a few minutes ago. It is ‘Berserk’. The orders of a higher species suppressed the survival instinct.

“come!”

The three wyverns descended at high speed. Monsters that rush at you without risking their lives are several times more dangerous than usual.

The giants also took a step back and raised the weapons in their hands.

The plan was to give up the first strike and then aim for a counterattack.

Kieeeeek!

But Drake guessed the number.

When he howled sharply, two of the Wyverns that were attacking him stopped high in the air and opened their mouths.

On the contrary, one attacked the giants at full speed.

The acceleration without considering direction changes was terrifying, and the Wyvern traversed hundreds of meters in just a few seconds. If they collided with each other, they would die instantly, but the wyvern under Drake’s control continued to flap its wings without even knowing how to save itself.

“Khaab!”

A giant with an ax responded to the suicide attack.

If you just accept that rushing power, you will either die or be seriously injured. Before that, I had to slow down or stop the guy.

The throwing ax held in the giant’s right hand flew like lightning.

Wow!

The throwing ax and the wyvern’s head were shattered together.

Unlike the wings, the solid head was literally shattered, mixing with the fragments of the axe and flying out in all directions. Thin brains, blood, and flesh were scattered, creating a brief blood fog.

Nevertheless, the wyvern’s body did not stop. His head was lost, and only his body remained, plummeting in the direction he had been flying.

“K-hab!”

This time, the ax held in his left hand spewed fire.

As I hit the flying wyvern with all my might, its body split in two and fell side by side on the giant’s left and right sides.

Immediately after that, the breaths of two wyverns poured out.

A flame strong enough to melt cast iron!

The giant holding the spear tried to rotate the spear as before, but suddenly realized that Drake had disappeared. At the same time, a huge shadow covered his sky.

Kyaaaaa!

Drake, who fell silently, let out a roar that sounded like a laugh, and trampled on the giant.

The giant managed to raise the spear and block the claws, but he was unable to block the fire that followed.

“Kaaaaaaak!”

The wyvern’s breath burns its roasted body. If I used Aurors, I could extinguish this level of flames, but if I distributed my power like that, my heart would be cut out by Drake’s claws.

The giant, caught in a dilemma, desperately pushed the spear away, but Drake’s weight and strength, which must have weighed tens of tons, were enormous.

I was lucky if I could last another 10 seconds.

“Go away, flying lizard!”

Fortunately, he still had friends left.

A throwing ax hit Drake in the stomach, and he flew up, roaring loudly in pain and anger.

It was like missing an opportunity to kill a giant.

The two giants, who did not miss that moment, readjusted their stance.

“Have you killed all the wyverns?”

“Hmm.”

The giant with the ax agreed.

This was the reason why I could not immediately help my colleague who was crushed by Drake.

The Wyverns that released their breath immediately descended and acted as meat shields blocking him. Even though I killed them in just 10 seconds, my colleague almost died in that time.

“coon.”

The giants glared at Drake with eyes full of anger.

He noticed it too.

If you fight them head on, there’s a chance you’ll lose by 20%. So, they tried to use the wyverns to grab one person’s ankle and kill or injure the other person.

And the trick worked.

“Can you fight?”

“I broke two ribs and my right collarbone was torn. “It would be nice if I could pay 70% of the usual amount.”

The odds of winning are now less than 100%.

The injuries are greater than if you killed three wyverns.

Nevertheless, the two giants burned their fighting spirit, determined to fight until the end.

Drake must have been bothered by that fearless gaze, so he rolled his blood-red eyes and let out a scream.

Kwaaaaaaaaaaaa!

As if in response, auras burned over the bodies of the giants.

Win or lose has not yet been decided.

The two Titan warriors and Drake began fighting again.

* * *

“―The Titans will lose.”

Leon, who was watching the battle, spoke softly.

From a place more than a kilometer away, the two were looking at the spot where Drake and the giants clashed.

Spears and axes, claws and teeth.

Every time our weapons collide, the forest is devastated. A large tree that can make a small boat from a single tree breaks like a reed, and the remnants of the shock wave reach the feet of the two people.

It was a force closer to a ‘war’ than a ‘battle’.

“The Titans are running out of time.”

On the surface, it looked quite equal, but in reality, it wasn’t.

The giants’ strength had not yet been exhausted, and the cunning Drake was not overdoing it, so it only seemed like they were fighting as equals. At the same time, the balance of the fight was cleverly distorted so that the giants could not recover.

When the giants actively go on the offensive, they take a step back, and when they try to catch their breath, they take that time away.

“… I’m going to kill you. “Is that Drake really a monster?”

Karen, who read Drake’s intentions, said with a tired expression.

The thought of an S-rank monster, already famous for its strength, using tricks like a human being was literally nothing short of a nightmare.

Leon widened his eyes as he agreed with him.

I had heard that the depths of the Titan Mountains were a ‘demon landscape’, but I never imagined that I would see Drake on that first day.

‘strong.’

Not only the Black Drake, but also the Titans he was dealing with were ridiculously strong. Martial arts combined with the physical abilities of an ogre, and even though it was low level, the use of Aurors, the results were terrifying.

If you fight 1-on-1, you will definitely lose.

I had to fight with Karen to have a chance of winning.

“What are you going to do?”

Leon thought about those words for a moment.

Do you stand by or join in?

Even if he was a reasonably strong guy, that Drake was a monster who didn’t know what would happen even if two people joined him.

If you join in and defeat him, you will definitely gain the favor of the Titans, but if you lose, you will be turned into minced meat in the jaws of that Drake.

[Join, or run away right now.]

At that time, El Cid spoke.

[Drake’s perception is much broader and more delicate than you think. Your existence has already been discovered by this guy.]

‘what?!’

A sense that can identify two invisible humans buried in a tree over a kilometer away?

Moreover, the two people were still in hiding.

The auras circulating in the body did not leak out, meaning that they were simply captured through senses. Just like a hawk flying in the distant sky finding insects on the ground, this distance seemed to be nothing special to him.

[It will have to be at least 2 kilometers further away.]

‘The detection range is 3 kilometers in radius, that’s ridiculous.’

Leon got nervous for no reason and swallowed dry saliva.

There was no time to weigh this further.

If the giants fell soon, Drake, who hunted down the threatening enemies first, might point his fangs at them. Whether he should stand by or join in, he had to make that decision quickly.

And he soon made his choice.

“Let’s join.”

He kicks off the tree branch and flies towards the drake seen in the distance. Even 1 kilometer is not a long distance to them.

Thanks to Drake, this area had long since become a truce zone, so there was no need to move while being wary of other monsters. The two approached that place by climbing over dozens of trees.

The closer we got, the more severe the noise and shock waves became.

Quang!

When a throwing ax struck Drake in the chest, several of its scales shattered and black blood flowed out.

Despite being powerful enough to destroy a castle wall, the injury was minor.

As expected from a dragon species, its defense power exceeds common sense.

Kyaaaaaaa!

It was an insignificant wound, but the pain must have made him angry, as it roared and swung its whip-like tail.

It is over 10 meters long and has a considerable weight.

It moved at such a speed that it even left an afterimage. The tail that erupted with a shock wave swung several times and eventually hit the stomach of the giant holding the axe.

“Keuuuu!?”

Due to the tremendous impact, both legs were knocked off the ground and one of the giants was thrown dozens of meters away. If I hadn’t focused my aura on my stomach, all my internal organs would have exploded in shock.

But Drake wasn’t discouraged by the result.

In the first place, I didn’t think I could kill a giant with one hit. All I had to do was break their formation once.

“… shit.”

The giant holding the spear adjusted his posture while breaking into a cold sweat.

The limit was not to be overwhelmed somehow, even in a 2-on-1 match.

However, I was left alone without the use of one arm. Unlike before, this time I won’t be able to last even for a moment.

The moment the giant, who had a premonition of death, tried to burn off his life force,

Whoops!

A wave of light flew from somewhere and hit Drake.

Kieh!?

The damage was not significant.

A huge amount of auras were compressed into lines, but the standards ultimately belonged to humans. To cut Drake in two with a single sword even with the Seven Star Sword, one had to be at least a sword master.

The blow that 〈Merak〉 inflicted was enough to cut a few scales and tear the skin, causing a stinging pain.

and.

Papa pa pa pa paak!

A rain of daggers poured down exactly along the line Leon had cut. Every single blade coated with deadly poison penetrated the flesh.

Even though it was so deep that the blade could not be seen, the wound was shallow.

“Tch, it’s not dirty.”

Karen clicked her tongue at that sight but prepared for the next attack.

From the beginning, I had no intention of attaching much significance to this surprise attack.

All it took was for Drake to catch them off guard and buy them some time.

“I will join you.”

Leon approached the giant holding a spear and handed him several bottles of potions.

Perhaps surprised by their sudden appearance, the two giants stared at them blankly, unable to respond.

But that embarrassment lasted only for a moment.

“… Thank you. “Write it well.”

The giant poured half of the potion into his mouth in one go and lowered his head as he passed the remaining potion to his companion.

Without the help of these two people, he would have died.

The balance that had almost collapsed was barely corrected.

Leon, who made eye contact with the giants once in a while, opened his mouth.

“I think we should catch that lizard first and then talk about it. “Can you fight more?”

The tone was polite, but the intention was clear.

The two giants smiled cheerfully at the obvious provocation.

Not only did the Titans receive help from small, weak humans, but they were also put in a situation where they were questioned as to whether they could fight any longer?

They responded by grabbing their axes and spear handles.

“Of course!”

“You can do anything!”

Leon nodded without further provocation, then turned around to confront Drake, who was extremely angry.

As I look into those blood-red eyes, the hairs on my entire body seem to stand on end.

Nevertheless, he raised the holy sword and aimed it at the guy.

“let’s go.”

The moment the light gathered at the tip of the holy sword’s blade, Drake sensed the hostility and spread his wings to both sides.

It was the beginning of a full-scale struggle.
