Overpowered Sword Chapter 85

Level up with swords (85)

〈Hell Hall〉.

Leon swallowed dryly at that terrifying name.

You could tell just by looking at the distorted faces of the Titans. The blood vessels are swollen as if they will burst when touched, and the body is mottled with a bluish color, covered in blood and bruises from being pressed by iron.

The body is tougher and harder than steel, to the point where it becomes a complete wreck. It was no exaggeration to say that we had already entered the realm of torture.

‘If a human followed that training method, he wouldn’t be able to recover even a bone… .’

Although the hell unfolding before his eyes was not as bad, Leon was also a person who trained his body harshly. So I was able to immediately understand the incredible intensity of this training center.

There is no significant difference in the way the muscles are trained.

Stimulating muscle fibers through high weights or high repetitions and promoting recovery through rest and nutrition.

Nevertheless, humans should not follow that method.

[Well, the bodies of Titans are different from humans in many ways.]

El Cid did not deny that statement.

[Unlike humans, Titans are monsters that can train not only muscles, but also ligaments, joints, and blood vessels. People with better senses can even control involuntary muscles.]

‘Involuntary muscles?’

[A muscle that moves autonomously like the heart. Humans can handle that part only by becoming an Auror or training in a special way for a long period of time. Strong body techniques such as the Sunshinbeop that you dealt with at the academy are one of those tricks.]

El Cid’s voice was calm as usual, but the content was not something worth listening to calmly.

A creature that trains not only muscles, but also ligaments, joints, and blood vessels!

It was a body that any warrior could not help but covet, and it was difficult to guess its limits.

No matter how much humans trained, their limitations were clear without Aurors. There is no human being who can break down a castle wall with his bare body, and no human being can run faster than an animal barefoot.

It was a limitation of the species.

Even if muscles are attached, there are no ligaments to support the force and no joints to withstand it.

‘It’s called a blessed body.’

[It’s exactly as you said.]

Leon felt regretful for no reason and sighed.

This is because I remember when I was at the academy, my skills remained stagnant even after training for several years.

If it had been a Titan’s body rather than a human’s, it would have been able to develop its physical abilities without an Auror. A body that infinitely rewards your efforts. It was truly a blessed body.

“Oh, it looks like your blood is boiling too.”

But Urga seemed to have accepted that, and smiled as she tapped Leon on the shoulder.

“Every time I come here, I am also afraid, but I am also burning with the desire to challenge the limits of my body. “It is a place where the name ‘Hell’ is very fitting.”

“Well, I see.”

Leon did not agree at all, but agreed for now.

If they offered me a chance to give it a try, I was planning on turning it down immediately.

According to his estimate, the weight of the iron block carried by the Titan doing squats was more than 10 tons, and the weight of the Titan doing the press exercise was at least 5 tons.

If I were to carry that weight with pure strength, I would not be able to hold it for even a second and my vertebrae would definitely be crushed.

Fortunately, Urga did not recommend it.

“Now, it may be a pity, but we’ll postpone the training in the training center until later. “The village chief will be waiting for us beyond.”

Leon and Karen nodded without any hesitation.

If I could escape this place full of blood, sweat, muscle pain, and screams, I could meet anyone.

The two walked quickly across the training center.

In the meantime, the screams from the health club never ceased.

A giant who vomits blood while doing squats, a giant who is crushed under a piece of iron and asks to insert one more disk, a giant who asks to do just one more and does not stop until ten are passed… .

“Ugh… “What, what is this terrible place?”

Karen must have been horrified by the hellish scene, so she hugged her shoulders with both arms and trembled.

Even she, who was raised to be an assassin and was lucky if one or two of them came out alive, was horrified by this sight! The traditions of the Titans were truly remarkable in many ways.

The screams were not heard until after several hundred meters had gone further.

The two barely felt relieved by the change, but then stiffened when they heard the sound coming from beyond.

Wow… ! Kwaang… !

A roar that shakes the earth.

The scale of the shock wave was not much inferior to the one Angela experienced earlier in Rubena.

Huge forces are colliding.

Not just one or two, but dozens of them. Even if you just pass by them, dangerous destructive power is unleashed in seconds. It was a phenomenon that was difficult to see even in the center of a battle where large-scale troops clashed.

“Huh, everyone seems eager today too.”

Only Urga savored the vibration with a happy expression.

“It must be worth it since the village chief participated. “This is an opportunity to unite with the warrior leader even once, so there will be many brothers who will risk their lives.”

“Hey, what’s going on out front?”

Karen, unable to bear it any longer, opened her mouth.

It was a scene that destroyed common sense one by one, but the scale of this power was dangerous. If they are caught in the aftermath, the two people will die. The instinct of a top assassin tells you to step down if you don’t want to die.

Then Urga answered as if she was asking an obvious question.

“It’s sparring.”

“Sparring, sparring?”

“Skill without strength is nothing more than a dance move, and strength without skill is nothing more than a struggle. “Isn’t it impossible to become stronger by training without competing?”

It was indeed a natural story.

However, the two were not convinced and made eye contact with each other, then walked in after Urga.

I planned to see it with my own eyes and judge it.

and.

“What–! “Is it just this much?”

I faced a whirlwind of violence.

Boom!

The giant who was hit by the fist floats several meters, falls into the wall, and loses consciousness. The impact was so great that the wall sank into the shape of a giant.

That’s not all.

A giant with a spear, a giant with a sword, a giant with a club. Regardless of what weapon you are holding in your hand, it will fly away with one punch.

A storm of equal power!

Even when hit with a catapult, Titans only bleed a little and fall down without being able to withstand a single punch from the same Titan.

“Hyung.”

Eventually, Karen, who had begun to hiccup, took a deep breath.

It was a very cute reaction for an assassin who reigned in Blaine’s underworld, but Leon didn’t even dare to make fun of her.

“―〈Aura-Fist〉.”

It is an application method of applying ‘Aura Weapon’, which coats the surface of a weapon with Aura, to the body rather than a weapon.

A proper martial artist’s 〈Aurofist〉 can break rocks and shatter shields with one blow. Even humans, who are very weak compared to the Titans, can display that level of power.

So what if Titan uses that <Aurofist>?

Quang!

The giant burst out with a roar and flew near Leon and the others, blinded them and fainted.

Blood was dripping from the corner of the mouth, and it looked like the shock had penetrated all the way to the internal organs, not just a simple bruise. If any other species had been hit by it, they would have been literally torn apart.

It was actually amazing that I just vomited some blood.

“There’s nothing to worry about. “It’s just that my liver and stomach were a little ruptured.”

After briefly examining the giant, Urga rolled him aside and continued walking. Internal ruptures and injuries that would have been life-threatening for other races were no better than scratches for Titans.

Urga, who opened the way, shouted loudly.

“Chief! Spearman Urga has brought guests from the village!”

“what!”

The giant, the village chief, responded to his call and opened his eyes wide.

He was the giant who reigned in the vortex of power that had knocked down dozens of giants just a few seconds ago.

He must have come to his senses after hearing that he was a guest, and he walked towards them, shaking off his blood-covered hands.

“I’m a guest in the village, how much is this?”

As the village chief giant approached, Leon’s body froze.

So strong.

Regardless of the Auror’s skill level or other such areas, the combat power itself was an entity that was in a realm that could not be rivaled.

S rank or higher, stronger than Drake, who has been struggling recently.

“Nice to meet you. “I am Balkan, the chief of this village.”

Leon barely reached out and held hands as big as rocks. Goosebumps appear at the power that passes through his skin.

If you fight, you lose.

An intuition like certainty passed through his mind.

The first warrior-level Titan I met, Vulcan.

I haven’t seen the Sword Master yet, but he might be more powerful than them. It was a moment that added even more credibility to the rumor that Saint King Roderick’s legacy remained.

* * *

“… I see, it is the legacy of the hero Rodrik.”

The village chief giant, Balkan, muttered while resting his chin.

“I can’t answer you because I don’t know anything. I will report the matter to the king immediately. “As far as I know, he is the only Titan who knows Rodrik.”

“ah! thank you.”

“What, the obvious thing.”

When Leon bowed down from his seat, Vulcan waved his hand and declined the greeting.

The Titans do not like ostentation.

I don’t even feel like it’s worth hearing about things like status or respect. For a warrior, praise must be earned through his dancing, and honor comes from strength.

So Balkan changed his mind as soon as the story was over.

“By the way, Drake, the seeds must have dried up in the mountains. “He must be from another area, right?”

“Maybe so.”

Urga answered.

“Not only has he been attacking me and Zulu first, but he doesn’t even know who the owner of the mountain range is. “With black scales and dark magic, there’s no way I haven’t seen such a distinctive character before.”

“I guess so. “If he had shown his face even once, there is no way he would have saved our children.”

“If it had flown near the village, it would have been dead long ago.”

It may have sounded arrogant, but from the Titans’ perspective, S-rank monsters were just prey that they caught several times a year.

Drake was no exception.

You don’t have to go far, five or six people can catch enough, and if a warrior leader steps forward, solo hunting is also possible. Vulcan, who is here now, has also defeated S-ranks on his own several times.

“Wow, that’s too bad, anyway. “If it weren’t for the guy whose owner has already been decided, I would have gone to kill him.”

“Other friends will think so too.”

“… Are you the owner? Is this like a hunting order?”

When Leon, who had heard something incomprehensible in the conversation between the two giants, carefully intervened, Vulcan’s eyes widened.

Then he soon realized the reason and burst into laughter.

“Oh, I see. “You don’t know our customs yet.”

“What if it’s a custom?”

“It’s no big deal. If there is someone who inflicts serious wounds on his prey, he guarantees that warrior the opportunity to subdue him first. “This time, you have the right to cut out an eye.”

The criteria for a major wound were simple.

It would be enough to interfere with his fighting ability. Rights are guaranteed only if the injury is something that cannot be ignored, such as an eye, a wing, or a leg.

Coincidentally, Leon met the conditions.

“How delightful! Not only was it a long time coming as a guest, but he was also a warrior skilled enough to cut out one of Drake’s eyes. “It’s too much of a waste to just leave it in the village!”

“Haha, even if you don’t welcome me that much… .”

It was nothing short of a compliment, but Leon waved his hands and trembled with an ominous feeling for some reason.

For some reason, I was able to anticipate what he was going to say next.

So I had to end the story before those words came out.

“Let’s have a few rounds of sparring with the kids!”

Balkan stood up without paying attention to his specifications. There wasn’t even the slightest doubt. He seemed to sincerely believe that a warrior like Leon would refuse this offer.

If you get bitten here, the atmosphere will get cold.

Leon had no choice but to give in to the invitation.

“f*ck it, let’s try something.”

It was then.

Coo coo coo coo… !

There was a sound like the ground shaking from somewhere, and giants were seen coming from the other side of the cave.

You can tell just by looking at the tail covered in blood and sweat.

These were giants who were screaming in pain at the gym.

They jumped up in a panic, not wanting to be outdone, and as soon as they saw Leon, they started waving their hands and screaming.

“There it is! “I am the human warrior who gouged out Drake’s eyes!”

“grow! Come fight me first!”

“Get out of here! “I am the first to fight with one sword!”

“Drugo! “Now it’s your turn to go out on patrol. What kind of fight are you talking about?”

“You can make up for it later!”

Leon felt himself becoming dizzy from the clamor.

An opponent whose victory cannot be guaranteed for every single one of them.

Cold sweat came out without me knowing because of the enthusiasm emanating from them. Being able to overwhelm him without a trace of malice or fear would have been impossible even for the Imperial Guard Knights.

“Whoa.”

Stop shaking with one deep breath.

This is what I hoped for if it was a fight against a strong person. Would it be common to have the opportunity to face off against powerful forces like the Titans?

We may not be able to recreate the legend of Roderick who defeated the Giant King, but as a disciple, we must not tarnish his name. Leon regained his composure and pulled out the sword from his waist.

Slurp.

All the giants fell silent at that sharp sound.

There was no fear.

Only the excitement of the warriors ahead of the fight was swirling.

“One person from the left.”

Leon’s golden eyes calmly stated the rules.

“Let’s get started.”
