Overpowered Sword Chapter 155

Level up with swords (155)

From heaven to earth.

From earth to sky.

The falling starlight and the soaring starlight showed their fangs without anyone knowing who was first. A decisive battle that can turn even S-rank dangerous monsters into minced meat with a single blow!

〈Mengho Yuseongak〉 and 〈Hocheon Samyeonseong〉 collided in the sky.

―――――――――――!!!

A dazzling light swirls around.

Those who followed the light and looked up at the sky cupped their faces with both hands. Only the chiefs of each tribe, Leon and his group, and Barg and his two siblings were looking at it with dark eyes.

Those with skills below expert level cannot even be seen.

The shock wave that spreads without any sound instantly turns the atmosphere into a vacuum. It was only a few seconds, so there was no real problem with breathing, but the beastmen, who had particularly sensitive senses, felt that moment and trembled.

“… “That’s amazing.”

Varg was honestly amazed at the sight.

Huracan, who had achieved such a level by honing his martial arts on his own, was amazing, and it was also absurd that Leon, who had just entered adolescence, was competing on equal footing with him.

I don’t feel like I’m going to lose.

However, only a vague feeling that it would not end easily no matter which of the two he dealt with, caught his attention.

It was then.

Kuwaaaaaa―――!!

The light swirling in the air trembled violently, then exploded, scattering its power in all directions.

A vortex of golden light sweeps across a radius of hundreds of meters, tearing the air. It was a shame because the explosion point was dozens of meters in the air. If it had exploded in the middle of the duel arena, it would have caused at least hundreds of casualties.

People who watched it thought at the same time.

Did it cancel out?

“-no!”

Hathi cried out before anyone else.

If they were canceled out, there is no way the shock wave would be golden. It would have been scattered into colorless and transparent shapes.

Then, the winner of this clash is none other than.

“Leon won!”

As if to prove Hati’s words, a Huracan fell from the distant sky onto the battlefield. Just like when it leapt, the figure, covered in dark red fog, swayed unstably.

The Huracan couldn’t even land properly.

Coo! Hura Khan came down with a sound, dropped to one knee, and spit out her blood from her mouth that roared loudly.

Fresh blood that shines red and transparent.

This is evidence that he suffered internal injuries that shook his energy and blood.

[No, it’s brave that you survived. If he had been on the battlefield before, he would have been able to kill him at least three times.]

‘I guess he’s not the second-in-command in the grassland for nothing.’

Leon responded to El Cid’s words and straightened his sword.

It was a bit better than Huracan, which was hit by shock waves as well as the fact that 〈Mighty Tiger Meteor Pavilion〉 was broken, but the consumption of 〈Hocheon Samyeonseong〉 was significant.

A feeling of helplessness that makes you want to sit down.

The auror, which had been filling up like a lake, was empty, leaving only a few sips. His arms trembled as they endured Oui’s repulsive force, and his legs shook as if he might collapse at any moment.

‘Still, I won.’

It was a fight that I could either win or lose.

An enemy whose victory you cannot be certain of is something that feels infinitely more rewarding when you overcome it.

That’s why Leon smiled without realizing it.

and.

“… … no way.”

When I saw the Huracan standing up on two legs, I wiped the smile off my face.

It can’t even be compared to the momentum when we first encountered it.

If it was a storm back then, it’s just a breeze now.

Nevertheless, Leon opened his eyes wide and gritted his teeth. Contrary to his rational judgment, his instincts were warning him. This fight is not over yet.

… Ugh… Ugh… .

The fighting spirit that had been amplified by <Kyokushin> was lightly scattered, and Huracan’s body, which was covered in dark red fog, was revealed.

It was a literal disaster.

The whole body was so covered in blood that no stripes could be seen. The deep cuts alone amounted to double digits, and he suffered deep internal injuries due to the aftermath of the decisive battle.

Death scene.

With a body that could lead to death with one effective blow, he lunged at Leon without hesitation.

Hehehe!

It was an insignificant roar.

Sound and power.

At the roar that left nothing behind, Leon felt his core vibrating.

Kaang!

Cut away the incoming sting with a single slash.

light.

It can’t even be compared to the first attack, where my body was completely shaken even though I was able to completely get rid of it.

But Leon was able to make a statement.

‘Strong… !’

If Huracan was completely devastated, Leon had used up most of his power. The Huracan attacking with what little strength was left was also a threat that Leon could not overlook.

The problem was physical ability resulting from differences in species.

Leon’s body is horribly broken by a single blow from Huracan, which is close to a living corpse. ‘Guardian’s Stigmata’ restores him in real time, but he cannot escape the state of auric exhaustion for at least a few minutes.

The final finale.

Huracan, who closed his eyes, and Leon, who had lost even the ability to breathe, rushed at each other.

Kaang!

He catches a roundhouse kick with his right foot with his sword and moves forward, passing the impact behind his body. At the same time, the Huracan’s empty abdomen was revealed, but Leon didn’t even pay attention to it.

Even if you cut it with a blade that is not an <Aura Sword>, it will only result in a scratch. Since he had already experienced the physical strength of the tiger tribe, Leon concentrated on moving his feet rather than swinging his sword.

In a martial arts fight, the object to be subdued is space.

For Leon, who was smaller than Huracan, his range was like that of a typhoon.

Whoa!

A few strands of hair were broken off by the claws sticking out from above the head.

Eye of the typhoon.

The martial art created by Huracan, <Howangryu>, basically involved swinging the limbs like a whip. As a result, there were several weaknesses in close combat, where it was difficult to utilize rotational power.

If he had reason, he would have made up for even his shortcomings with his wit, but now the Huracan is a beast with only the fighting instinct remaining.

‘If it’s an animal, you can attack it as much as you like.’

He plunges his sword into the side of Huracan, who doesn’t know what to do with him as he crawls into his arms. As I said before, Leon’s physical strength cannot cut through that flesh or bone.

But what if the wound was already open?

When I opened the wound on my side that had been cut in the aftermath of <Hocheon Samyeonseong>, the blood that had stopped for a moment poured out.

Even the Tigris are in no condition to endure.

“Kaaaaaaak!”

Huracan screamed in pain and swung both arms.

It’s not even a proper technique, it’s a primitive swing.

A struggle that only instinctively tries to push the enemy away. At that struggling gesture, Leon even felt a faint pity.

Anything more than this is meaningless.

Unless you defeat him for sure.

‘Let’s finish.’

Unlike Leon, Huracan’s body went beyond its limits.

The gap between Leon, who continued to recover from the ‘guardian’s stigmata’, and Huracan, who poured out his power like a bottomless poison, widened further, but never narrowed again.

Strikes away the arms that are swinging randomly.

After deflecting a series of sharp kicks, Leon penetrated through the gap and turned his sword back. It is the blade, not the blade. He was about to knock him unconscious with a single blow to his temporal region.

The moment when I was about to throw away my sword from the bull stance.

Stop.

For some reason, Leon stopped taking half a step forward.

He didn’t even know it himself. Why did he stop his steps? It was his chance to take down his opponent, so why did he hesitate?

It was right after that.

Sigh!

The whip-like tail struck the empty air.

The blow was aimed at exactly the spot where Leon’s chin would have been if he had taken half a step further.

A dark attack full of speculation and even terrifying.

When Leon looked at him with a cold feeling on the back of his neck, Huracan, who had regained his senses in his eyes, opened his mouth.

“… “Howangryu, hoe heating (虎尾難放).”

Huracan, who was acting like he had lost his mind and was going crazy, laughed bitterly.

“Was it a mistake to show it once?”

“Yes, if it was my first time, I would have been the victim.”

Leon agreed with that.

The reason I was able to intuitively stop my steps was because I experienced it once. When he attempted a counterattack after defeating “The Great Tiger, I was cut off by his tail sticking out from the corner.”

Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to react to this attack.

“Shit… .”

The Huracan muttered in a defeated voice and sat down.

He also realized it.

The counterattack just moments ago was said to be the last opportunity given.

“Ha, I lost.”

As always, the taste of defeat was bitter.

Still, because there was an inexplicable feeling of relief, Huracan’s face, which closed its eyes, was gentler than usual.

Varg, who heard his voice, concluded the game.

“The third duel is the victory of the adventurer, Leon! With this, Hathi won three times, confirming multiple wins! “The fourth duel will not be held separately, but the group duel will be ended!”

Since I won three out of four duels, there was no need to even proceed with the final duel. Squall, who had lost even the chance to fight, listened to the declaration with a devastated expression.

Who would have thought it would turn out like this?

Even though all the members of the Zhou War faction were among the strongest in the steppe, the duel ended in victory for the Juhwa faction.

The tribal leaders’ meeting started off eventfully from the first day.

* * *

“It’s our victory!”

During the break given after the meeting duel, Hati came to Leon’s barracks and spoke with a triumphant expression.

“I don’t know if Chief Bulls and Totuga are the chiefs, but since we defeated Chief Huracan, there will be no one trying to find fault anymore. Truly a hero! “It was the majesty of a true master of our Fenrir clan!”

“Well, it was still close.”

Leon responded to the compliment by waving his hands.

“I didn’t think that breaking through the 〈Seven-Star Sword〉’s Five-Year-Old Sword and fighting further was not enough, he also had one last move hidden away. “If I hadn’t avoided it intuitively, I might have lost.”

No matter how many times I thought about it, the sight before my eyes was dizzying.

The Huracan was strong and precise.

He freely used a form of martial arts that did not go against his wild nature, and caught people off guard with unusual techniques. He pretended to lose his senses while being completely injured, caught him off guard, and attempted a sneak attack, which was in the realm of water fighting.

He manipulated falsehood without learning from anyone.

[If you had been hit by that, you would have been scolded by me, disciple.]

El Cid said with a chuckle.

[You were at ease until then, right? Victory has already been decided, and I have to stop before my opponent gets further injured or dies. is not it?]

‘… that’s right.’

[It was too arrogant to try to show mercy to someone who was tied. Also, I didn’t write ‘Jugendstil’ until the end.]

‘Well, that is.’

[Is it because the other party’s armament is poor?]

El Cid suddenly cut off Leon’s words and fired back.

[But why didn’t you take into account the fact that your physical capabilities are more than ten times different from that of that guy? Are you saying that the gap is fair, and the gap caused by weapons is not fair?]

‘… … .’

When Leon, who had hit the nail on the head, remained silent, El Cid urged him in a deeper voice than usual.

[Don’t be mistaken. In the end, things outside of the body are your strength and your abilities. Aurors are nothing more than a distillation of power received from outside the body, and martial arts are nothing more than functions added to the body. The idea is not to draw that boundary based on common sense.]

‘Don’t be caught by common sense… ?’

[Yes, it is your mind that distinguishes between the outside and the inside. Shingeomhapil is not that great. It’s all about whether or not you can accept the sword in your hand as ‘yourself’.]

El Cid said these words casually, but the wisdom contained in them penetrated the essence of nothingness.

If it were his usual Leon, he wouldn’t have been able to understand.

Even those who were born with natural talent were frustrated because they could not understand a few words of Holy King Roderick’s teachings. It wasn’t something that could be done by being smart or having a good understanding.

However, Leon’s mind and body were stretched to their limits due to his desperate fight with Huracan, so he accepted the advice indifferently rather than understanding it with his clumsy intellect.

‘If it is my mind that distinguishes between inside and outside, how far am I? ‘If it’s me who decides that, am I the world?’

Suddenly, Leon’s eyes opened.

Using El Cid’s words as an opportunity, he fell into self-indulgence.

A moment of enlightenment that you don’t know how many times you will come in your life.

Karen and Ellahan, who noticed this, hurriedly dragged Hati out of the barracks and stood looking around as if blocking off the area.

‘What distinguishes myself from this world? If it is the mind that draws the boundary, can the mind be said to be me? Mind, the will to change the world, may also be a type of boundary… .’

A topic that we don’t know whether or not we can understand even after thinking about it for years, perhaps even decades, is slowly being resolved.

I could see golden light fluttering beneath my half-open eyelids, and the space around my body was shaking greatly, shaking the boundary between self and other.

someone said

I think, therefore I exist (Cogito, ergo sum).

[Then how it exists depends on the thought.]

Define your own existence without leaving it to anyone.

That would be the beginning of escaping the bonds of mortality.

[Ask yourself and answer.]

El Cid grinned, looking down happily at his student who was finally about to take his first step.

[Leon, who are you?]
