Overpowered Sword Chapter 93

Level up with swords (93)

Mountain city Chinook.

It is a city whose name and location are not well known. This is because it was a village located in a basin deep in the mountains, making it difficult for even those who have been there once to find their way there.

Unusually, there is no lord in this village.

The roads were already rough and difficult to pass through, and since it was a land with limited specialties, there was not a single noble who wanted to come all the way here and show off their prestige.

At first, the special environment worked well.

Since there was no lord, it was easy to deceive the tax collectors, and although the mountain terrain was quite rugged, it was not so severe that slash-and-burn farmers could not settle down. And it became a resting place for merchants who had to pass through the mountains for commercial purposes, allowing them to enjoy a level of life that was neither prosperous nor underdeveloped.

However, there were those who paid attention to its closedness.

They were evil people.

For them, Chinook was a city with the perfect environment to make their home base. Above all, the biggest advantage is that there are no permanent lords. It is difficult to mess with a nobleman, even a baron without a peerage.

If even an insignificant noble touches that prestige, it becomes a reason for the knights, who can be said to be a symbol of military power, to move.

But what about a village without a single resident nobleman?

It seemed like a place created to say, “Come grab me.”

“Hehehe, what a pretty girl!”

In less than ten years, the Chinook have turned into a cesspool of evil. It was known as a hideout for thieves, wanted criminals, and undercover dealers from all over the kingdom, so its quality only worsened day by day.

Armed thugs occupy the roads in broad daylight and collect tolls from people passing through the mountains or take their luggage with their lives.

There was nothing more to say about the interior of the mountain city.

When a weak-looking guy comes in, they usually attack him once, and if he looks good, he’s immediately dragged into the back alley. The fate that followed was truly cruel. They are sold as slaves through undercover dealers, or they die while being driven within the organization.

“Hehehe, don’t be too scared. “They don’t eat you?”

The robbers surrounding a girl chuckled with grim expressions.

“You can eat it in a different way. is not it?”

“Sometimes the right words come out of your head.”

“Ah!? “What’s wrong?”

“Shut up and pick up your sword, you idiots. “What if that bitch uses magic?”

“All you have to do is kill one person and catch him. “It would be nice to get the turn around quickly.”

A guy with a knife mark on his forehead, a guy with snake tattoos all over his bumpy arms, and a guy with buck teeth sticking out through a scarf wrapped around the lower part of his face.

The smell of blood wafted from their crude words and actions.

The girl who watched the action for a moment opened her mouth.

“Let me ask you one thing.”

It was a clear voice.

A voice that refreshes the mind just by hearing it, but cannot help but make people stained by sin feel uncomfortable.

Her silver hair fluttered, and her golden eyes shone.

“Do you have any intention of atonement?”

The thieves momentarily forgot what they were saying.

I was mesmerized by the sight of a girl as beautiful as a well-made doll moving, and even more than her beauty, I was overwhelmed by the sacred atmosphere. She has such a presence that they themselves feel that it is blasphemous to behave vulgarly in front of her.

Despite this, they could not regret their lives.

“… expiation? “What does this crazy bitch say?”

“I guess she’s a bitch with her head turned. Well, your head isn’t much use anyway. “As long as your body is fine, that’s all.”

“Yeah, yeah. “Let’s catch him quickly.”

Ellahan closed his eyes once and then opened them, letting out a deep sigh, as if he was truly sorry about that choice.

Why don’t you reflect when you say it in words?

Although I had experienced this several times, there seemed to be no way to save the foolishness of the wicked. Maybe it’s because she looks so frail. She never resented being born beautiful, but because of that, her flowing blood could not help but be pitiful.

“Deus.”

With our hands folded together, we will call for judgment.

“Lo, Vult.”

The moment Ellahan prayed with three words, the armor hidden beneath the puffy robe began to activate.

Light rises from the breastplate, pauldrons, gauntlets, and greaves.

The divine power overflowing within the body takes control of the armor, strengthening its defense to the level of a walking fortress. Although it was not something that could be used against bandits, this level of power was needed to quickly punish the entire village.

I could have run away or something.

Clap!

Finally, the helmet protruding from inside the armor covered Ellahan’s head. A golden glow flashed from the eye sockets blocked by a transparent membrane like glass.

That’s not all.

The force that came out with their weapons made the bandits kneel down on the spot, urinating. I knew it was a fight or something and my instincts were aware of it. The being in front of them is not something they can touch.

“Well, well, well, well… .”

Please wait a moment, someone said.

I couldn’t speak well because my teeth were chattering up and down, but it was helpful to finally say one word.

But Ellahan shook his head at those words.

“The time for atonement is past.”

Suddenly, a large mace was in his hand.

Seongcheolsae.

The pinnacle of holy magic, created by melting down Holy King Roderick’s weaponry that no thief would know about. A weapon that weighs over 30kg and is too brutal to wield against humans.

“It is a condemnation.”

Ellahan struck the thief’s head without a moment of hesitation.

Quang!

A hammer stuck in the top of the head drives the head into the neck, and the spine folds and falls into the ground along with the knees. Only the head remained above the ground, showing that a person had been buried.

They planted humans in the ground.

The bandits who saw the absurd sight struggled, but their frozen bodies did not move even a single step.

and.

Quang! Quang!

Ellahan, who had also planted them on the ground, swung his hammer.

“Is it three people? “There are 624 more people left.”

Holding the Seongcheolsae and activating her full body armor, her senses span a radius of several kilometers.

I could see into Chinook Village like the palm of my hand.

No one seems to have noticed her condemnation yet, but we put our hands together in preparation for an unexpected situation.

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch… !

The light emanating from the armor spreads out in all directions, spreading a golden curtain that seems to surround the entire Chinook village.

The defensive barrier of full body armor was used for blocking purposes.

If it weren’t for the destructive power of the <Auror Blade> level, it would be impenetrable, so there was no need to worry about missing the villains with this.

“Then let’s organize the rest.”

Ellahan, wearing a sash on his shoulder, entered the village.

Soon, the thieves who saw her came in one by one. An uninvited guest in full armor who appeared with an unidentified barrier.

Few fools would not notice the connection.

10 people, 20 people, 30 people.

Looking at the enemies who had suddenly multiplied like a pack of dogs, Ellahan lifted the mace in his hand and prayed.

“Goddess, I dare ask for your wand.”

And with his eyes flashing, he moved forward.

“Open your eyes.”

Punishment for sinners, judgment for the wicked.

The saint who requested the goddess’ mercy raised the mace.

Quang!

* * *

It was two hours later.

The battle that suddenly started with three robbers was rushing toward its end. Saint Ellahan and 627 wicked people. Mercenaries hired by undercover merchants were also mixed in, making it a military group that could not be compared to low-quality bandits or thieves.

There were double digits of wanted criminals.

A former ranger who shot his superior in the head, a deserted knight expelled for violating rules, and even a gangster who occupied a slum in a big city.

Against a group that included several A-rank members,

Kwaaaang!

Ellahan knocked them down without taking a single step back.

“626 people with this.”

The body of the escapee who was hit directly by the Seongcheolsae fell to the ground and was buried in the ground like a bonsai, leaving only the head.

The sword that was burning blue with the <Aura Sword> was cut into two pieces.

Even though he blocked it properly, he was unable to quench the full power of Seongcheolsae, and not only did his sword break, he fell down from one blow. The level of fundamental force itself was of a different order.

This is the one who has entered the realm of legend.

It was the strength of someone who proved her qualifications as a saint.

“Well, now it’s just you left.”

Without even losing her breath, the saintess, who was fixing her Seongcheolsae, turned her eyes in one direction.

There was no pretense of popularity.

A level of stealth where even the shaking of the atmosphere is not felt.

However, Ellahan’s synesthesia was sharp enough to trace the outline of the space.

“If you come out obediently, I will finish it all at once without any pain. But if you don’t want to comply with my good intentions… .”

The golden light surrounding the surface of Seongcheolsae becomes even darker.

Even space is bent by the density of that force.

Ellahan’s attack power is comparable to its defense power, and it was even possible to change the terrain with a single strike with all its might. It wasn’t a big deal to crush that unknown opponent along with his hiding place.

“Now, just wait a moment!”

At that time, a man popped out of the air and spoke urgently.

There was so much resentment in that voice that Ellahan, who was about to hit him on the head, withdrew his hand.

She tilted her head as if asking why.

“Why are you doing that? Are you really feeling unfair?”

“Yes! “I feel wronged!”

“No, this is so shameless and shameless… .”

As Seongcheolsoe was about to go up again, the man shouted on the spot with his hands raised.

“I’ve only been in this town for one day!”

It was unfair for that man.

After learning about the Chinook, I moved out of curiosity, and less than a day later, I was caught up in the condemnation of Saint Ellahan.

Of course, Ellahan didn’t care one bit about his situation.

“It’s only been a day, and if you came to this village, aren’t you also a thief or a wanted criminal? “I don’t think there’s any reason for me to look after it.”

“You are from the Holy Church, right?”

“Yes, but.”

The man said with a sigh of relief at those words.

“It is true that I have dabbled in evil deeds, but the church has decided to take a look at me because of my achievements in Blaine. Do you know about the war against evil that took place about a year ago? “I also contributed to the solution.”

“… … .”

“If you don’t believe me, ask Bishop Cesare of Blaine. “I ran away because I got stabbed a lot, but I didn’t really do anything after that.”

“… … ah!”

It was that moment.

Ellahan, who remembered something he had forgotten due to the man’s detailed explanation, said his name.

“You are ‘Khan’? “He acted like a slum boss.”

“… Do you know me?”

“I know Cesare well. “He was also the person who taught me the scriptures when I was young.”

Khan’s eyes widened at the unexpected connection.

This monstrous woman and the bishop know each other?

I was trying to get out of this place somehow, but I felt like my nose had been pierced.

“Hmm.”

Ellahan, who was looking at him through the helmet, withdrew his hand.

Then, he raised the head of Seongcheolswae’s mace to the sky, placed the handle on the ground, and put his hands together.

One of the powers granted to the saint is ‘revelation’.

“Goddess, please whisper the truth in my ear.”

As she prayed briefly, Seongcheolsoe, who had been standing upright, fell towards Khan.

It meant that what he said was true. Although it is a primitive method, there is no more effective means of covering up flaws.

Only then did Ellahan open his helmet and retract the Seongcheolsae.

“It’s true. Okay, let me take a look. “If you contributed to preventing the ‘swallowing of the city,’ it is worth punishing me once.”

“Only once… ?”

“Would you like to have a try?”

Khan shrugged off those words and took a step back. If you get hit with that stupid mace, your skull will explode like a watermelon.

Rather, it was surprising that it ended with him being thrown to the ground.

It was a monster blow that may have been master level or higher.

“Huh?!”

Immediately after that, Khan realized something and his eyes widened.

“Are you alive? All of these guys?!”

“You’re rude!”

Ellahan, who raised his eyes at his astonishment, shot back.

“Even if it is a criminal, the only thing worthy of summary execution is heresy. “My role is to neutralize them and hand them over to a trustworthy judicial institution.”

“No, how did you not die…?” ?”

I’m not kidding, this is ridiculous.

Khan saw clearly with his own two eyes.

A mace that moves at a speed that leaves an afterimage, and the neck of the person hit by the end is broken and the spine is broken. Even if you avoid immediate death, it is a fatal wound that will kill you in less than a few minutes.

However, all of those buried in the ground had flushed faces and were breathing without any problems.

This is a situation that cannot be understood through common sense.

“It’s not a big deal.”

Only Ellahan knew why.

“Because at the moment of striking, I cast the sacred method of maximum recovery on the target. The shock was distributed throughout the body so as not to die instantly, and the bones in the body would have been crushed once and then glued together. maybe.”

“… … .”

“It will feel like you died and came back to life, so you won’t be able to move for a while. In the meantime, if the soldiers arrest the new soldier, everything will be fine, right?”

Khan, who understood the situation before and after, swallowed his saliva.

Not only did it destroy an A-rank escapee with a single blow, but is it a magic technique that can instantly heal wounds that caused instant death?

I knew the strength of the Holy Iron Chain Knights, but it was not to this extent.

There is only one being who is a member of the Holy Church and meets this condition.

Khan muttered the title unconsciously.

“Saint… sir?”

“what.”

Ellahan blinked his eyes and touched his cheek.

“I shouldn’t let anyone else find out, but you found out?”

Khan, with goosebumps running down his spine, fell flat on his face.

“I’ll keep quiet! I swear to the Goddess that I will never reveal this until I die! Please believe me!”

“Hey, that’s all it is… .”

“Please believe me, saint!”

As if Ellahan’s words sounded like a hint of murder, Khan bowed his head more deeply and begged.

Even if you risk your life and fight, you die in one hit.

Even if you try to escape, you won’t be able to break through that barrier.

The only way to find a breakthrough was to beg for the saint’s mercy.

“Umm… .”

Elahan, who was worried about the situation, said ‘Ah!’ And I thought of a solution.

“Please raise your head.”

“Are you forgiving me?”

“Well, it’s similar. Since this has already come to an end, I will give you another opportunity to serve the Goddess.”

Seeing Khan blinking his eyes in confusion, Saint Ellahan laughed bitterly.

“If you were the boss of the slum, you would have some sources of information, right?”

“yes? Oh, what is that… .”

“And if you participated in the subjugation battle in Blaine, you probably remember all the adventurers who accompanied you then, right? “In particular, a B-rank adventurer named ‘Leon’.”

“ah!”

Khan, who quickly understood the meaning of the words, spoke.

“Can I come visit him?”

“You don’t have to come look for us. Because I’m going. Just where he went and where he passed. Please investigate everything and let me know. “First of all, please give me directions to Blaine.”

“… All right.”

It was sad to be in a situation where I had to volunteer for free, but the fist that was right in front of my eyes was much more scary than the law.

And it was clear that the law would take the saint’s side rather than him.

‘My situation is twisted like dog food!’

Khan, with slumped shoulders, led the way, followed by a saintess wearing robes.

On the outside, it looks like Beauty and the Beast, but it was the Beast who was caught by the leash. I realized the difference in power so thoroughly that I couldn’t even think of resisting.

A saint and a former slum boss.

A group of bizarre-looking people began walking towards Blaine.
