Overpowered Sword Chapter 165

Level up with swords (165)

It was ten hours later.

Leon’s eyelids fluttered as he remembered the consciousness that had sunk so deeply that he could not even dream. Thanks to the ‘Guardian’s Stigmata’, he felt refreshed even after only one or two hours of sleep, but the chase with Nephren Ka exhausted his mind and body to the limit.

If it weren’t for the holy magic and the recovery from stigmata that the Seongcheolsae Knights dedicated themselves to, I was so tired that I wouldn’t be surprised if I fell asleep for a week.

Of the five senses, the first thing that came back to me was hearing.

The sound of an unknown number of people talking, the sound of clothes rustling, the sound of weapons clanking on one’s belt, etc.

As I listened to the sound in a daze, my remaining senses came back in order and my mind cleared.

‘…What happened?’

My memory is blurry.

The last time I saw Ellahan’s face, his body odor, heavily stained with sweat and dust, lingered as if I was remembering it.

[I finally opened my eyes.]

El Cid welcomed him.

[It was really close this time? If the saintess had been 10 seconds later, she would have died. The timing was really good, as if that penniless bitch wrote it as a revelation.]

‘I see. As expected, Ellahan…?’

[It was a ridiculous performance. It was absurd to use a single sword, but to continue the battle after that. [I’m curious about how she was raised.] She

was said to be the strongest saint of all time, and based on El Cid’s assessment, it seems that the expression was not an exaggeration at all.

After clearing his mind after a brief conversation, Leon opened his eyes.

Ceiling made of leather.

It was clearly a tent used by the Bedouin as temporary shelter.

“How long have I been asleep?”

Then someone other than El Cid answered that question.

“Maybe about ten hours? “I could sleep for an hour or two more.”

“…Karen.”

When I looked around the corner of the barracks, Karen, who had been hiding in the shadows without any signs of presence, stuck out her head.

The eyes that shine blue in the shadows are just like a cat.

Leon tried to shake off his feelings and spoke.

“How is the situation? “What about the beast people?”

“We brought only those who called themselves elite from each tribe. “I don’t think it’s an opponent I can push against based on numbers anyway.”

“how much?”

“Around 200 people. We’ve eliminated all the people who can’t use martial arts skillfully, and the shamans and wizards account for about 30%. “There will be less than 10 people who can fight in the first line.”

Unless you are a tribal leader, including Beast King Varg, it is impossible to even stand in front of Nephren Ka.

Karen, who had encountered him for just a moment, had a hunch.

Even the strong Aura Master who represents a country is nothing more than an insignificant scum to him.

‘You can’t defeat him unless you’re a warrior.’

It was Karen who had dealt with foreign magicians several times with Leon.

Judging by that experience, Nephren Ka was not an opponent with whom one could argue with strength or weakness.

A monster that deviates from the laws of the world.

It was impossible to subdue him even with a military force worth hundreds of millions of dollars. It was literally a being on a different level, with people not even allowed to approach it below a certain level.

“There are 8 A-rank adventurers from the guild, 6 castle knights, and 54 warriors, including the Bedouin chieftain. So, there are a little less than 300 people in total.”

“Maybe we didn’t have enough time….”

“Yes, this was the limit to the power we could gather in four days.”

It is already a great desert and steppe that is cut off from the outside world. There was no way the gap could be reduced just because it was urgent, and the Clyde Empire, which could be said to be adjacent, was having a hard time coping with the chaos within them.

Even the Kingdom of Jugend was too far to make a round trip in four days.

“Let’s go out.”

“already? “Are you okay?”

“Well, the wound is almost healed. “More than half of the aurors have recovered and we will be able to fill them all before the sun completely sets.”

When Leon got up and tried to get out of the barracks, Karen immediately clung to his side and supported him.

“Ka Karen? “It’s not that hard…”

“Don’t hesitate. You don’t know, right? “If you save even a little bit of your strength, it will be helpful when fighting that monster.”

Since this was not an absurd statement, Leon had no choice but to leave the barracks while being helped by her.

As soon as Leon came out, all eyes focused on him.

Holy Church Guild Beastman Bedouin Tribe.

They knew because from all four groups, only those with strong reputations gathered together.

The presence of a monster felt from far away. The adventurers who received the request prepared their wills, and the Bedouin and Beastmen, who considered death a part of life, also broke into a cold sweat in fear.

“…You survived that alone for several days?”

“It’s not just surviving. “They say they led the refugees to this outskirts to avoid their location.”

“I heard you became A-rank at that age, but you’re not an ordinary person.”

“Not only is he talented, but his connections are also amazing. “It wasn’t enough to attract two rival factions, and even the Holy Church…” Even

adventurers who were willing to attack the enemy couldn’t get close, so Al Razaz, who was talking with the warriors from afar, discovered Leon and quickly ran away. It came with steps.

Although he was not very happy to see his face after a few days, Al Razaz immediately grabbed Leon’s hands and said,

“Are you awake, benefactor?”

“Chief Joe?”

“Oh, there’s no need to call me that harshly. You can call me brother! “My younger brother is the most distinguished guest of our Bedouin people!”

The warriors also had no one who was jealous or opposed them.

Thanks to him, my family and friends survived.

I have received a favor that would not be enough even if I repaid it with my life.

“It’s shameless of you to call me a brother.”

At that time, Varg, who flew like the wind, suddenly spoke.

“From what I understand, you are quite a bit older. “It’s a ridiculous joke that a person who has even seen a grandson wants to be the older brother to the head of the family who has just had a coming-of-age ceremony.”

“Ha, since when do animals start interfering with people’s affairs?”

“I don’t know if this is something to hear from a guy who pulled out a knife just because he said no.”

“You can still pick it up if you want.”

As the two masters argue verbally in an ugly atmosphere, the wind that was flowing is cut off and the air becomes heavy.

Coincidentally, both have the same wind attribute.

As they compete for dominance over one attribute, there is a lull in which neither side can interfere. It was no different from the game of pushing with both palms together. The one who was pushed out first becomes at a disadvantage. So even though it was a war of nerves and not sincere, it was difficult to back down first.

“–stop!”

However, if a third party intervenes, things change.

The air that had been tensely resisting the ‘words’ that came from somewhere suddenly split in the middle and dispersed.

Al Razaz and Barg turned around with surprised faces.

To cut off the momentum of two Aura Masters.

It is easy to break the balance by putting force on one side, but suppressing both at the same time is many times more difficult. Ellahan, who did it without any problem, glared at them.

“What are you doing in front of the One who just woke up! “Is this the way you treat your benefactor?”

The two people who were questioned by her apologized profusely.

“Ugh, sorry.”

“I wasn’t mature enough either. “I’m sorry.”

Regardless of whether they apologized or not, Ellahan approached Leon with his eyes wild and grabbed the other arm. Karen narrowed her eyes at that, but didn’t care at all.

Naturally, only Leon, caught between the two, was embarrassed.

“Leon, how are you feeling?”

“I’m not completely recovered, but I’m almost recovered. “I don’t think there will be any major problems with tonight’s fight.”

“If you have any problems, please tell me right away. Although the recovery method is not perfect, it is quite effective.”

He then pointed in the direction where the Holy Iron Knights were lined up, and they, who were watching Leon, all bowed.

He bowed his back, which had never been bent even in front of the king.

The beast people had no idea, and the Bedouin people did not know much either.

Only the adventurers flipped over in surprise once again.

What exactly is the identity of the young adventurer who is treated courteously by the Seongcheolsaegi Knights, known as synonyms for fear?

“Hahaha! I opened my eyes less than a day later. “When I saw the mess, I thought we were behind.”

Huracan, the second-in-command of the steppes, approached without hesitation and tapped the man on the shoulder. Even though Malbonsae was rough, he didn’t feel any malice, so Leon smiled lightly at him.

“I feel like sleeping one more day, but I feel like if I do that, everyone here will die. “I woke up quickly.”

“what? Hahahahaha!”

This time, Huracan smiled as if he had just been hit.

What was funniest of all was that that was true.

A wild persimmon was screaming.

If you don’t run away from this place right away, you will suffer something worse than death. However, the Huracan, as always, ignored the warning of instinct. Because it was always more fun that way.

When I started talking like that, even those who were awkward at first opened their mouths without question.

Adventurers too.

Even the beastmen.

Nomads too.

There was no need to discuss strategy or formation. Common sense tactics do not apply to monsters like Nephrenka. We just have to trust each other, have each other’s backs, and desperately get through it.

So this time was very important.

This was because it was an opportunity to build a sense of cooperation and a bond that was impossible because it was a hastily created union.

and.

“…it is dusk.”

As someone said, dusk has begun.

It was a different sky from what I always saw.

The sky, which should have been colored red by the sun setting on the western horizon, was today stained with darkness like swamp mud.

I get goosebumps from the feeling of rejection creeping up my entire body.

A presence that stimulates the natural disgust of living things.

Something comes that is not allowed in this world.

???I have come.?

Darkness rises from the west, swallowing up the sun that has not yet set, covering the land.

The sky and earth suddenly became as dark as midnight.

With a presence so blasphemous, the Sacred Iron Knights imbued their weapons and bodies with sacred light and used the sacred methods they had prepared in advance to create illumination so that others would not be disturbed.

Nephrenka sentenced without paying attention to the reaction.

??I saw it.?

In the middle of a pitch-black sky without a single starlight, blood-stained eyes widened.

I feel dizzy.

Those who watched it unconsciously frowned from dizziness and headaches, and vomited blood as they tried to quell the aurors and magic power that were trying to escape their control. Although it is not an intentional mental attack, it is difficult for skilled people to control themselves.

The equivalent of a transcendent.

At most, only Leon or those with master level skills among the Holy Iron Knights could look into those eyes without moving a single inch.

?I have arrived?

With the third declaration, ‘the guy’ appeared.

There is no process.

As if changing from 0 to 1, Nephren Ka appeared at a point in the sky, surrounded by black fog.

A terrifying presence presses down on the group of about 300 people, and its gaze passes by as if scanning pigs at a slaughterhouse.

?There are a lot of scum who don’t know how precious their lives are. If you want to come under my command, there is nothing I can’t do.?

As the jet-black fog fluttered like a cloak, the darkness that eroded the ground began to vomit something.

Something that resembles a human being.

“That’s…!”

Al Razaz recognized this and gritted his teeth.

It was a mummy.

An undead monster made from living humans and given immortality to attack only the living. By devouring their vitality and enveloping their bodies with deadly poison, lower-level warriors were one-sidedly slaughtered.

But Al Razaz’s eyes found ‘him’.

As was the custom of the Bedouin people, he had numerous children, but among them there were bound to be a few whom he cherished.

Rahmu.

His son was mixed in with the procession of mummies.

?Hoo.?

Nephrenka noticed that expression and sneered.

?You are lucky. Your children served me before you, and they possessed a martial ability befitting a commoner. If you obey me even now, you will enjoy a high status in the kingdom of death.?

“…A dried corpse is making a mockery of me.”

Al Razaz, quietly enraged, drew his sword.

At the same time, Nephren Ka’s darkness stirred once more and summoned a shape different from the mummies that had been vomited before.

A giant with a crocodile’s head.

A priest wearing a jackal’s head.

Those who served the Pharaoh in the distant past were revealed as having fallen into unholy darkness.

?You still don’t understand, you fools.?

Nephrenka waved the staff and scepter he held with both hands and urged his subjects, laughing bitterly.

?The sun has gone down. Now is the time for your lives to fall.?

Suddenly, the darkness surrounding the whole place, or rather the wave of scarab beetles, rose so high that it seemed as if it would swallow up 300 people.

In a situation where most warriors would be paralyzed with fear, let alone fighting spirit, no one looked straight ahead without wavering. And he lifted the weapon he held in his hand with all his might.

The first blow was a slash from a giant who appeared from behind Al Razaz with more anger than fear.

Flame Manifestation

Djinn of Al-Razzaz

A storm swirls from the tip of the sword to the blade.

It’s literally a blast of a storm!

Jinpung Chamwangdo (?????)

Sand grains rubbing inside the storm create a magnetic field that soon strikes the entangled with lightning.

Then the darkness made up of a swarm of scarabs was torn in two.

Gurgling–!!

When a thunderbolt born on earth splits the heavens and the earth, the warriors rise up to fight against the darkness.

The role of an Auror Master is not just to lead alone.

He was also the ‘leader’ who opened the way forward at the forefront.

Leon also knew that well.

“Goes!”

With the shooting out from behind his back, wrapped around his entire body like a cloak and dyed platinum with the torch added, he entered the path opened by Al Rajaz.

Light advances as if defying the tsunami of darkness.

People who saw that symbolic sight followed without realizing it. They even forgot their fears and moved forward.

Warrior.

In other words, the one who guides the light of this era.

“Haaaaaaaap!”

Leon, with all his strength raised, raises his sword.

The scale of power is overwhelmingly inferior.

Then it’s best to focus on one point! Leon, who pushed the sacred flame into

the Grand Chariot

and condensed it into a fist-sized ball of light, swung his sword.

A flash of light shot out from

the Alkaid

sword, piercing the veil of darkness like a piece of paper.
