Overpowered Sword Chapter 120

Level up with swords (120)

Leon didn’t understand that.

Irexana’s guess was neither suspicious nor shocking. It was simply because he did not know what ‘chaos’ meant.

El Cid, noticing his doubts, spoke.

[It is one of the sects that make up the evil cult. There’s a lot of variety in the topic of trash. They even divided sects.]

‘An evil cult?!’

Only then did Leon realize the seriousness of the situation and his eyes widened.

evil religion.

They are evil and traitors to the world who want to sell this world to satisfy their own selfish desires. He was the hero’s main enemy who had to be annihilated beyond any room for reformation.

Those who tried to ‘swallow the city’ in Blaine were also part of it, but would you have guessed that they even reached out to the Kingdom of Jugend?

Irexana, perhaps aware of his feelings, finished speaking.

―It seems unlikely that the squires of

After that advice, nothing more was said.

When Leon reflexively turned to the side, Geoff, who was also looking at his face, bowed politely.

It was not an attitude towards an adventurer.

It seemed like Irexana had already announced it.

‘Team 11 consisted of three Seongcheolseo Knights and one Spiritual Master.’

There is a high possibility that the Spiritualist will also be someone the church will recruit, so the available power in case of emergency has been doubled.

There was nothing bad about Leon at all.

I needed more information about ‘Chaos’ than that.

El Cid said.

[The evil sect’s subspecies are largely divided into three sects. 〈Destruction〉, 〈Despair〉, and 〈Chaos〉 are those.]

Evil religions do not worship gods.

Worshiping the devil was also just a means to acquire the external law, but fundamentally it was nothing more than a matter of interest.

Therefore, the three sects were not classified by religious faith.

A form of madness.

How crazy one is is what distinguishes the three evil sects.

[〈Ruin〉 is the simplest. Because most of the incidents that come to mind when we think of evil religions originated from them. Destroying the world is the sole purpose of Destruction. There is a greater than 90% chance that 〈Swallowing the City〉 was also planned by them.]

‘Why are you trying to destroy the world?’

[I don’t know.]

El Cid answered immediately.

[Do not try to understand the thoughts of a madman. If something cannot be tolerated for any reason, it is right to destroy it without considering the circumstances.]

‘… ‘Is this heresy because no mercy is allowed?’

[It is exactly as it is said.]

The cornerstone doctrine of the Holy Church is ‘Mercy.’

Even if a person committed an evil act, if the act did not go too far, the church’s policy was to provide an opportunity for trial, time for repentance, and something to make up for what was done.

Therefore, being designated as a heretic was equivalent to not being given any opportunity or time.

[〈Despair〉 is more cruel than 〈Destruction〉. To explain it in an easy-to-understand way, think of it as preferring torture to murder.]

‘ah.’

[They say that the external god they worship feels pleasure from the pain of intelligent beings. Perhaps that is why many of the bastards belonging to the ‘Despair’ sect are particularly sadists and masochists.]

While “Ruin” wants to kill and destroy efficiently, “Despair” prefers to squeeze out as much pain as possible, even if it is in a somewhat inefficient way.

There were even some who tortured themselves to gain their power, and many of the followers of

‘Either way, both of them are crazy… .’

With Leon groaning at his incomprehensible behavior, El Cid spoke ‘chaos’ for the third and final time.

[

‘… huh? Is that all?

[There is no more accurate explanation than that. Behavior patterns and goals. Because the characteristic of

It is ‘chaos’ because there is no regularity at all, and the only purpose of existence is to make this world more chaotic.

There is a big difference compared to

That was why Irexana wasn’t sure.

《Team 11, entering M13-1.》

《Article 14! Go to M13-5. See you later!》

At that time, the voices of the two leaders woke Leon up.

I didn’t realize it because I was concentrating on El Cid’s explanation, but before I knew it, each of the three groups was at a crossroads.

The way into the mine shaft.

Leon also notified them of their entry into the mine.

《Team 8 also enters M13-2. Let’s meet again inside.》

After bowing to the two leaders once, Leon walked into the mine shaft with the three of them.

Lamps hanging at regular intervals.

Unlike the B38-5, it seemed to be well maintained and there were no broken or burnt out lamps. The visibility distance is about 50 meters. Because the road is not straight, blind spots appear every time you turn a corner.

It would be safe to say that this is the beginning of the expedition.

“Karen.”

“huh.”

Establish a formation as agreed in advance.

Karen, who was in charge of scouting as the advance team, Leon, who was in charge of the vanguard, Hazel, the wizard, and Garlond, who was preparing for an attack from the rear.

The four people lined up like that began to move forward.

M13-2.

The characteristic of the Mithril Mine was that mana was accumulated throughout the mineral vein, so abundant that it gave off a soft glow. It is not for nothing that grade 1 or higher artifacts use mithril as an essential ingredient.

“In this space, both aura and magic will recover faster, and the destructive power of magic will appear greater. one… … .”

Hazel continued, saying that there are not only advantages.

“Because mana is oversaturated, the precision and range of detection magic have been greatly reduced. “It would be best not to expect too much from my locative abilities.”

“I’ll remember it.”

Leon nodded at those words, took a few steps again, and suddenly stopped.

“Karen, stop.”

At the same time, Karen stood tall.

There is no question or objection raised. Because they had experienced this situation dozens of times.

Feeling the two’s puzzled gazes, Leon closed his eyes.

Then he lifted his right foot and rolled it once.

thud.

The aura flowing from the soles of his feet spread out in concentric circles, sweeping the surrounding area and then returning.

One of the applied technologies of 〈Public Method〉.

It was a wave echo method.

“Karen, strike with a dagger to the location I designate.”

“okay.”

It is a relationship of trust where there is not a single doubt.

As Leon traced four shafts with his fingers, Karen inserted the drawn daggers into the gaps between her fingers.

A maximum of four daggers can be fired at once with the

Use the index, middle, ring and little fingers of both hands as support.

Taaaaang!

Four daggers are fired at the speed of sound, cutting through the walls of the tunnel with a loud noise, scattering dust.

In that seemingly meaningless salvo,

Kugugugugugugung… !

The Crag Mutants hiding in the tunnel rose up.

A silver-white fuselage mixed with mithril.

Although the number is slightly smaller than that of the B38, the combat power of each individual is more than three times that of the B38. Still, the ones who had been attacked by Karen first had some part of their bodies broken and looked unsightly.

Hazel saw this and shouted in a shocked voice.

“How did you detect it? “I learned that even high-level magic can’t find a Crag Mutant in a dormant state!?”

“It’s one of my martial arts visions. “We’ll talk later.”

Leon naturally took a step forward and spoke.

“After taking down those guys first, that is.”

Move your eyes quickly to count the number of them.

7 intact ones, 3 damaged ones.

Unfortunately, there was one person who fell while halfway up, probably because the dagger hit the core. As I remembered that the first group of Crags I encountered were 11, I recalled the knowledge I had learned from the guidebook.

‘The Crag Mutants in the Mithril Mine accumulate mana in their bodies and use one to three types of primitive magic. However, it is said that there is a weakness in that magic core is created in the center of the body, near the heart, in order to use magic.’

Garlond said as he approached the back.

“Captain, please give me instructions.”

“… “Miss Hazel will use low-level magic to tie them down, Karen will move at will and maintain a mid-distance range, and Mr. Garlond will take charge of the battle line with me and deal with any openings one by one.”

“Good!”

“I understood.”

The moment the four people completed their battle stance, Craggs also took a step forward and leaned forward.

Coo! Coogung! Kugoogung!

Although they are said to be lighter than steel, stones that weigh hundreds of kilograms rush by. The Mithril Crags quickly narrowed the distance to 30 meters and rushed towards the two swordsmen as if they were going to be crushed to death.

However, Hazel’s magic exploded one beat ahead.

“[Wind, become an arrow.]”

When I wave my wand while saying a three-word spell, the air gathers and the point becomes sharp.

30 shots.

As an A-rank wizard, the amount of even low-level magic is different.

Papapapapapapang!

Thirty wind arrows fired like a crossbow stuck in the Crags’ bodies, stopping their charge. Shooting aimed only at the point where the center of gravity can be accurately shaken.

Taking advantage of the Crags’ momentum slowing down, the swordsmen charged in, closing the distance to just a few steps.

Cough!

The body of the person hit by the holy sword is deeply dented, and he staggers back a few steps. The durability is three levels higher than that of iron mine cracks. It cannot be cut with a single sword using the

‘If it were

The consumption of power grows unnecessarily. Leon flipped his stance, sticking out his tongue at the intensity.

Concentrate on one point.

Slashing (斬撃) done with lines and qualification (刺擊) done with divination. For Mithril Crags whose weaknesses were clearly revealed, stabbing was a more effective technique.

Still, it’s hard to do once.

At least three times? If I made a mistake, I had to hit harder.

‘No, wait a minute.’

Leon blinked his eyes as a sudden thought occurred to him.

‘If you knew the location of the nucleus from the beginning. And if there was a technology that could push power beyond that… ?’

Wouldn’t it be easy to defeat them if they just destroy the magic core without having to break through the physical defense?

It is not impossible if you apply the 〈Public Law〉.

Leon’s golden eyes sparkled brightly.

The flow, which can be seen as the ‘Stigmata of the Watcher’, is distorting around the Krags’ magic core. The center is its weak point. Unlike the monsters in the Hyeoncheol Mine, it has a large mana reserve, so not only the location of the core but also its wavelength can be read.

“Sigh!”

A momentary gap.

Leon’s sword shot out like a thunderbolt and struck one of the Krags’ chests. The auror who was staying around the sword flinched for a moment, and then, without anyone watching, he started using the sword.

Although the stab itself was perfect, Cragg’s injuries were minor.

Only a few centimeters of indentation remains, so you can tell that the sword was stuck, proving its durability.

but.

Quick.

I couldn’t handle the bomb exploding inside my body.

Cragg, who had only been stabbed once, suddenly stumbled, then fell to the ground and stopped moving.

To other people, it was truly an unbelievable sight.

“… “It works.”

Leon, who defeated the guy with one blow, grinned.

The four days of training seemed to have been quite effective, as the act of injecting aura through the

Unlike the wave echo technique, this is a technique that gathers the aura in one place, inserts it into the opponent’s body, and explodes it. A human might have used aurors or magical power to block the infiltration, but there was no way monsters that used primitive strength could have prevented it properly.

Since he knew the location of the magic core and used it, it was even more strange that he couldn’t catch it in one shot.

“It’s stronger than the B38’s Crags, but this one is easier.”

It was possible to have a battle that was a step down from the ones at the Hyeoncheol Mine, which had to find and destroy the core.

This method can significantly save power.

El Cid said.

[It’s called empty bankruptcy. Well, not a bad talent.]

‘Public bankruptcy?’

[This is the name of the technology I just wrote about. It can be said to be a penetrator limited to pores that destroys the inside by flowing aura. Right now, it only works on inanimate objects, but if you increase your proficiency, you can use it to break barriers or compressed power like

Although it does not work on powers that go beyond the laws of physics like Auror Blade, it was a useful technique in its own way.

Leon aimed his sword while memorizing the application method.

There were still more than half of the Crag Mutants left.

But the Crags were no longer the enemy.

‘Shall we practice?’

After looking around at the group fighting well, Leon stabbed his sword towards Krag, who was wandering alone.

Quick.

Without fail, he falls down with one blow and the tide turns.

Group 8’s first battle didn’t last long.
