Overpowered Sword Chapter 240

Level up with swords (240)

“What is this absurd appearance… ?!”

Walter looked up at the ceiling, his mustache shaking. So did other people.

Karen, Ellahan, Cedric, and Gilbert.

All the masters of the infiltration unit were at a loss for words and realized that the nightmare had come out of reality. A mountain beyond a mountain? That analogy is insufficient. Even if I had crossed the river and reached the sea, it wouldn’t have been this despairing.

Demi-God.

It is on the same level as ‘Nephren-Ka’, which is summoned in its complete form, but in terms of existence, it is several levels higher.

It was not an opponent that could be faced head-on.

Kuwaaaaang!

Since the barrier core of the White Palace had collapsed, the force field barrier that protected the palace had already disappeared. The ceiling of the palace collapsed with a single sword strike from Leon, revealing the night sky.

and.

“… … Goddess.”

Ellahan muttered without realizing it.

It had to be that way.

The shape of a giant soars up to the clouds, and the light overflowing from its body paints the entire area in gloomy colors. The boundary between material and immaterial becomes blurred, and the line between life and death becomes ambiguous.

This is the power of the ‘Spirit King’ itself.

Just standing there desecrates life and changes the laws of physics into the laws of another world. Since each god-level being had the potential to become the master of the world, they could spread their influence even on a small scale to the completed world.

“It’s dangerous. “I shouldn’t stay around here for long.”

Cedric felt his fingertips tingling.

I didn’t know what that giant was, but I knew that it wasn’t friendly to the living.

The Aura Master’s body begins to die in just a few minutes.

A normal person would turn to dust within an hour.

“… … .”

However, what was more shocking than anyone else was not the Masters who felt the true nature of the <Death King>.

Lian looked up at the giant with his eyes wide open.

Although it towered over the clouds, its features were clearly visible even in the middle of the night.

The nose is sharply erect, and the eyebrows are curved, creating a nervous look. His lips, which had been crushed from constant chewing since childhood, seemed to have a sneer etched into his expressionless face.

It was the face of an enemy that I could not forget even in my dreams.

“Neck―――s!”

Ever since I retired to the Academy, or even before that, I have been constantly thinking about how to punish this guy.

Should I hang myself on the gallows and put it on display?

After cutting off the limbs, will it pierce the heart?

Should I hold my breath and pile up firewood and burn it?

But at this moment, no thoughts remained in my mind.

“what? “Nex?”

Karen was startled when she heard him talking to himself.

“No, wait! So that giant is the ‘Light Emperor’!?”

For some reason, Leon had an intuition, but other people didn’t as well, so his astonishment piled up twofold.

A madman who is neither an Aura Master nor an Archmage mutates into a giant with the status of a transcendent? No matter how great the evil cult’s tricks were, it was a situation that was difficult to understand.

Elahanman guessed the truth and bit his lower lip.

“It must be the power received through human sacrifice. In order to be reborn as an ugly monster, he throws the people under his rule into the mouths of foreigners… !”

The Seongcheolsae flashed as if responding to her anger.

Did he feel a rejection of that divine light?

The giant’s eyes, which were looking down at the feet with emotionless eyes, were fixed on Leon and the others.

“Ugh… ?! “What is it?”

Even though that is all, there is a pressure that feels like it is pressing down on your shoulders.

The gaze of a transcendent being is like violence to mortals.

Because he had reached the level of Aura Master or was close to it, he felt intimidated. Otherwise, my heart might have stopped or my brain might have burned out.

It was right after that.

—You poor useless ones, accept my salvation.

The giant, or rather, the ‘Dead Spirit King’ Nex spoke in a soft voice.

It wasn’t like he was kissing his lips or anything.

In a form similar to a mental wave, its ‘meaning’ was transmitted.

Strangely enough, the spirit was warm and contained a sense of mercy that extended its hand to those who had nothing. If he had heard those words without knowing anything, he would have been convinced that he was not a wicked person.

“Salvation? “What do you mean?”

When everyone was silent due to that strange feeling, Leon took a step forward and looked into the eyes of hundreds of meters in the sky.

At the same time, <King of Death> saw through its identity.

—I can sense the cursed protection of light from you. The goddess who colored this land with pain and irrationality, is she the prostitute’s agent?

Ellahan’s eyes widened at the extremely blasphemous words, but he managed to calm his anger when he saw Leon’s hand gesture.

Leon, who tugged at the corner of his mouth at the words of the <Death King>, sneered sarcastically.

“I was a little surprised. “I didn’t know that my faith would still remain even after I became a little girl.”

-what?

“From what I heard, you are the child of a late emperor and an unknown dancer who played with fire? So, calling the goddess a prostitute doesn’t mean you think of her like your mother?”

—… … .

Perhaps he didn’t know that he was going to hear an immoral mockery from the hero, so even the ‘Death King’ was dumbfounded and only blinked his eyes.

It wasn’t long before the absurdity turned into anger, and the anger into murderous intent.

Ectoplasm is basically colorless.

However, the murderous eyes of the <Devil King> instantly turned dark red, and fired a destructive ray like breath.

Kwaaaaaaaa―――!!

It wasn’t a great technique.

I just gathered some strength and fired it. Nevertheless, as soon as Leon encountered the beam of destruction, his entire body became moist with cold sweat.

A premonition of death that I have faced many times.

He reflexively brings out the holy sword and focuses on the ‘purifier’s stigmata.’

Kwagwagwagwagwa!!

Then the destruction ray split into two and passed by to his left and right. Unlike 〈Outer Law〉, the power of the outer dimension, which is pure, is of little significance in the face of the holy sword and stigmata.

If Leon hadn’t provoked him, the ‘Death King’ wouldn’t have wasted his power like this.

Perhaps because he had cooled off after venting his anger once, the ‘Death King’s’ eyes became colorless and transparent again.

—That’s a rude pun, you prostitute’s servant. Be thankful for the mercy of Jim, who fell for your provocation.

“I fell asleep after talking nonsense.”

Ignoring Leon’s words, <Devil King> continued his story.

—Think about it, you ignorant people. How unreasonable and full of pain this country and this world is.

Even though he became a demi-god-level being, the ‘Devil King’, through the evil cult’s ritual, his fundamental self did not change significantly.

Nex.

The child of an unknown dancer whom the former emperor of the Clyde Empire took for one night’s entertainment. From a young age, he was stigmatized as a member of the imperial family and confined to a corner of the villa. This was because the late emperor did not recognize Nex as his own child.

His life was spared because he could be used as a tool for political marriage, but his mother was buried without any mouse or bird knowing.

—Some people are born of love and live a blessed life, but others are born of desire and suffer a cursed life. Goodness does not immediately lead to happiness, and evil does not immediately lead to condemnation. This world is terribly twisted from beginning to end.

Hatred, ripened by experience, that could not be dismissed as sophistry, dripped from his voice.

Ryan couldn’t help but sympathize with his situation.

My father was a great emperor to him, but to Nex, he was nothing more than a rapist who violated and killed his mother. It was a gap that could not be bridged no matter what happened.

—Power and rights are given to the undeserving, and talents are given to those with wrong character. If the goddess revered by the Holy Church is truly merciful, this unreasonable reality must be changed first! however! The prostitute did nothing!

Nex’s mental waves swirled wildly.

The masters only frowned slightly, but the soldiers fighting the demon soldiers outside the White Palace even fainted on the spot.

The Transcendent was such a being from the beginning.

Depending on your nature, your breath can turn into a typhoon, and trivial words and actions can turn into a natural disaster.

—Then Jim will save this world! I will make it so that we can destroy the world where our starting points are different from birth, never feel sad about unfair talents, and never fall victim to an unreasonable fate!

“how?”

To this seemingly obvious question, the King of Demons answered like a madman.

—Become a burden.

“… … what?”

—You can become part of the burden if you submit to its power. By sharing this mighty power, we can enjoy a life without being persecuted by anyone.

The <Spirit King> cried out like crazy, as if he was intoxicated by my words.

—You are not disappearing. By becoming one with the burden, one escapes the pain. Therefore, this is the only utopia on this earth!

Only then did Leon realize the true nature of his conversation partner.

It’s crazy.

It may seem like the conversation is making sense, but there is no room to accept or speak to what the other person is saying. He believed that only his ideology was right and was convinced that everything else was wrong.

The problem was that the madman was too powerful.

—Now, take refuge with Jim. I promise. If you accept this offer, you can change the world peacefully without the need for pointless fights. If the heretics of the Holy Church want to do so, I will become a burden and allow them to enjoy that happiness.

With those last words, the <Death King> seemed to have no intention of continuing the conversation, and started moving his feet with a body that seemed to be 500 meters long from head to toe.

Ectoplasm has no weight.

This was because it had the properties of both material and non-material things, but did not possess them. Nevertheless, as soon as the <Spirit King> took one step, the barrier disappeared and the structure of the White Palace collapsed.

Kugugugugugung… !

Leon saw that and made a decision.

Even if I retreat, he is faster. Ectoplasm is a materialized form of the soul, and has a speed corresponding to its will.

Even if the power goes out, how many minutes can we survive?

They are just defeated and annihilated one by one.

So, in this situation, I had to turn over my trump card.

“Nex! Look at me!”

It was a sound that could not be easily heard amidst the roar, but the <Death King> was drawn to the shout and looked at Leon.

There is no chance of losing yourself.

I looked down at him with the eyes of a child playing with ants.

That momentary gap.

Paaaaaaah!

A ray of light pierced through the amulet hanging around Leon’s neck.

“〈Dimension Rock〉!”

The 8th tier space magic, a great magic that isolates a dimension and seals an entity, was designated as ‘Death King’.

Indeed, the effect was as told by Grania.

The huge body of the <Death King> rippled like waves, and it swallowed it up without a sound. 〈Devil King〉 was embarrassed and grabbed the gap in space with both hands, but after making some creaking noises, he was sucked into the gap in the dimension.

Leon looked at the wondrous sight and opened his mouth.

“sun… ”

[Did you get rid of it? If you do this, I will kill you, disciple.]

El Cid spoke in a rare, relaxed voice.

[The judgment of the situation was accurate. If you hit that thing blindly, you’ll all end up dead. I may not be able to last long, but I bought time.]

Leon asked back with a pale face, hearing words that could not be ignored.

‘Wait a minute, you can’t last long?’

[of course. So you thought you could stop a demigod-level being with just 8th rank magic? Kasim alone could tear that thing apart in less than 5 minutes. That guy didn’t become a transcendent through training, but became a transcendent through the effects of a ritual, so it might take a little longer.]

‘shit.’

As soon as Leon heard those words, he called the masters together.

There was no time to waste even a moment. It was time to come up with a strategy, whether to run away or fight back.

“Karen! Please find the Knights Templar and the cardinals. “If I can bring both of you, I will.”

“huh! okay.”

“Elahan, think of a holy method or technique that could be used against that monster. Even if it’s not great, it’s all okay as long as it’s valid.”

“all right.”

After giving instructions to the two people, Leon looked back at the others.

“Sir Cedric.”

“what?”

Cedric’s dry eyes met his.

“I heard it from Ryan. You are just a guest following him out of interest. “There would be no sense of loyalty to remain in this situation.”

“Well, I see. “When I think about it, yes.”

“Are you going to fight? Or are you going to run away?”

“If you said it as a provocation, it’s not very good.”

Cedric laughed at Leon’s words and pulled out his sword.

“I’m not going. “I wanted to cut down that monster.”

“I don’t think you will follow what I say.”

“of course. “I guess I can be used appropriately.”

As Cedric, who had concluded the relationship with a few words, retreated, Walter, who was still clearly confused, spoke.

“Can you win? And if what that monster emperor said is true, then you really… ”

“I’ll tell that story after it’s all over. “It will take a lot longer.”

Walter, convinced by Leon’s words, shook his head.

“No, that’s enough. “It’s an honor to be able to fight alongside the warrior.”

Fortunately, there was no dissonance.

How many minutes are left?

Leon let out a long sigh as he saw that the space where <Dimension Rock> had been cast was already shaking.

It seemed like today would be a long night.
