Overpowered Sword Chapter 182

Level up with swords (182)

It was 15 days later.

Leon’s special training was taking longer than planned.

When I first started, I planned to end it once all the techniques were corrected, but the results of the training were better than expected, so it was difficult to say quit first.

The sparring with Ellahan was the most intense.

When she was wearing a monk’s habit, she looked like she couldn’t even pick a flower, but from the moment she entered combat stance, it was clear why the vice-captain of the Holy Knights was a saint.

Unlimited in all directions.

It surrounds its body with enormous divine power and crushes its enemies with large, heavy weapons.

The defense power of being unharmed even when directly hit by a siege weapon, and the destructive power of hitting a cliff with a single blow, and the infinite stamina that continuously recovers with a single blow, was a nightmare itself.

There are absolutely no gaps.

I don’t know what and how the church taught them, but they were very good at fighting, so it was difficult to catch them off guard with psychological warfare.

Ellahan summarized the reason briefly.

“A fair fight is too much for heresy.”

It is okay to surprise heresy.

It is okay to attack heretics in tandem.

Even if you use poison against heretics, you can set a trap.

The rules of the Holy Iron Chain Knights were very strict, but most of them were relaxed only for heresy. In reality, I couldn’t even raise my hands when fighting people like the evil cult.

Was that why?

Leon, who had relatively less combat experience than the other three, had to see all kinds of dirty things while fighting Ellahan.

Wow.

“Huh?!”

Pulling on the hem of one’s clothes to prevent one from stepping back or breaking one’s fingers when clashing military flags was a trivial matter.

Unlike vital areas, it is difficult to pay attention to extremities.

Ellahan taught me that through several experiences.

Among them, the most embarrassing thing for Leon was when Ellahan spit in his face.

“I’m sorry! “I’ll clean it right now!”

Ellahan, who saw his dumbfounded face, forgot that they were sparring and apologized, but in many ways, it was an unforgettable experience.

It’s not just her.

Sparring with Karen was the most annoying.

Unlike Leon, who preferred direct confrontation, Karen was good at outwitting others or unilaterally targeting critical points. Every point, every joke, was a trick to catch him off guard.

Suddenly, he looked to the side, so I followed his gaze and got hit on the shin and took a step back, so I took a step forward and before I knew it, my foot fell into a hole I had dug.

“This is disgraceful!”

“Hehe, I’m an assassin.”

Karen laughed every time he was deceived, and Leon, who was annoyed thanks to her, looked at the situation more calmly.

Getting angry will only impair your judgment.

If you look at the entire field of vision as if it were a picture using the Eye Method, your eyes will not be drawn in no matter how you use tricks.

however.

“…Tear gas in addition to a smoke bomb, this is a bit too much.”

Leon grumbled, half of his face turning black.

“But you covered your ears well? “That was real.”

“I thought that after the eyes, it was the ears.”

“I got the hang of it this time.”

As a top assassin, Karen had so many tricks that it was hard to tell how many cards she had in her hand, and some of them included ones that blocked or distorted the senses. Although he couldn’t fool Leon completely, even a few seconds of the comma was enough time for the Assassin Master.

?Run dance in the dusk?.

A dark technique that uses shadows to control the enemy or creates an alter ego of the user, and is not accompanied by sound or presence.

Karen’s movements had reached a fairly high level, so even Leon would miss them if he was inattentive even for a moment.

“Checkmate!”

“No, if it goes like this, it will be a draw.”

As the situation became more and more familiar, I used the main body as bait to hit it with an alter ego. It is a combat technique that catches the eye in a different way than Ellahan.

Yukcham Goldan (????), which gives the flesh and takes the bone.

Dongguijin (????), who shoots his life like an arrow.

Countless martial arts of assassination emerged that were difficult to respond to at that moment if one was not prepared.

If it had been a real battle, how many times would I have died?

Even though Leon deliberately suppressed the power of the ‘Sun Sword’ and relied on swordsmanship to fight, he could not entirely excuse the defeat.

“It’s finally my turn.”

Nevertheless, if I had to choose the most difficult opponent among the three, it had to be Irexana.

Ellahan’s dog fighting and Karen’s devious tricks.

Because it was inferior to the martial arts of Irexana, who had never been able to counter him before.

Even though I deal with several types of weapons every day, I have never seen a case where the proficiency is low. All the weapons in my hands, including swords, spears, axes, clubs, and whips, attacked me threateningly.

Shrrrrrr!

Urumi.

It was a soft sword that originated from a martial art that was popular in the olden times. As he swings the blade, which is about 2 to 3 meters long, like a whip, the radius is filled with an eerie sound of wind.

Even if you just brush against it, the wind will tear it away.

Like a whip, the sword, which surpassed the speed of sound due to its centrifugal force, aimed at Leon like a poisonous snake.

Keying!

I deflected the blade with the holy sword, but the next attack came right after that.

It was one of the crucial differences between urmi and whip.

Unlike the whip, which delivers a single powerful blow, Urmi is a weapon that can overwhelm a one-on-one melee by using continuous attacks. The tactic of counterattacking after defending doesn’t work.

Even Leon’s eyes were dizzy and it was difficult for him to get close to this bizarre soft sword.

‘Is it a weapon focused on pleasure and change?…’

It’s fast and flashy.

That was all, but with Irexana’s nothingness added to that function, it becomes a hell that is difficult to dig into.

Four consecutive attacks come at you with one step.

A sword that swings without any sense of top or bottom.

There is no way to overcome it with orthodox swordsmanship.

‘then.’

If it had been Leon before he started his special training, he would have tried to somehow break through that wall with just his sword, but not now.

He went forward without hesitation and raised his left arm.

He then thrust his arm towards Urmi, who was digging into his left side.

Ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-gak!

Irexana wraps Urmi around my forearm faster than she can pull and cut. Even a decent gauntlet would turn into a sliced carrot, but his left arm was filled with a ‘shield of one wheel’.

A small shield like a round shield created a wall that could not be cut by Urmi’s blade.

“It was a good decision.”

Looking down at the holy sword that stopped in front of her neck, Irexana praised Leon with a soft smile.

A swordsman is someone who uses a sword, not just a sword. No matter how outstanding my strengths were, I couldn’t overcome all adversity with just that. If you’re a madman like Cedric who is focused on one sword, the more options you have, the better.

“I had no idea that I would feel this much in just 15 days. “If you have bad habits, there are many cases where it is not possible to correct them even on a yearly basis, but I see you getting better day by day.”

“Whoa, I’m glad.”

“I think it’s more so in the hero’s case because it’s not actually a habit that can be called a bad habit.”

“You mean it’s not bad?”

“hmm.”

Irexana interrupted with an ambiguous feeling, took a pause, and then continued her story.

“I told you once last time, but the warrior’s martial arts are of perfect quality and the royal way. “If you reach the end of the road, no one will be able to touch you…”

Leon added with a bitter smile on his face.

“You are saying that my capabilities are lacking.”

“It is something that cannot be helped. “The only person who has seen the end of the road is the Holy King.”

Everyone longs and wants to follow in his footsteps, but a celestial being like Rodrik was such an absurd being that it would be a shame to have appeared even once in human history.

Whether the opponent was holding a sword or a spear.

Whether you use magic, holy magic, or foreign magic.

A genius who has been on the verge of martial arts since the day he overwhelmed everything with his own ability, regardless of sexual relationships.

Even Leon, who could be said to be his immediate disciple, found it difficult to dare to attempt that feat. ?Icarus Wings? are the wings of someone who challenges the impossible. In other words, Leon instinctively judged that it was impossible to overcome Roderick.

‘Whatever that is.’

However, even after hearing Irexana’s bitter words, he did not loosen the strength in his fist. Even though he inherited Rodrick’s martial arts, he is ultimately Leon, not Rodrick.

In that case, Leon has no choice but to do it his own way.

We had to overcome the battle by devising compatibility and learning how to destroy the enemy’s means.

“Especially, the hero, the abilities of the four types of stigmata and the elemental are very powerful. “It is a level that can easily overwhelm even a martial artist of the same class, so naturally the focus on technique will inevitably decrease.”

“…Does this mean that it has become simpler as it has become more powerful?”

“If you have enough strength, there is no need to use tricks.”

A body rebuilt in a more powerful form than that of ordinary masters, physical strength and mental strength supported by four stigmata, and even overwhelming explosive power that ranks among the best among Auror Blades.

Even Al Razaz or Bargra would no longer be able to gain the upper hand by confronting Leon head on.

“The hero still lacks the power to decide the winner.”

Irexana’s words precisely pointed out that loophole.

No matter how strong Leon was in direct confrontation, if he didn’t respond to him, it was all over.

The basis of strategy is to exploit strengths and attack weaknesses.

To overcome that, you needed the power to force a head-on confrontation with your opponent. Just as Varg overwhelms his opponent with extreme dexterity and does not let go of the initiative, just as Cedric does not even give him a chance to dodge a sharp sword with his possessed sword skills.

There was a need to establish a unique winning formula.

“Thank you, Cardinal. “I learned a lot during that time.”

Leon, with that realization buried deep within him, bowed deeply to Irexana. Regardless of the relationship between a warrior and a cardinal, it was a teaching that I could not help but be moved by as a warrior.

Irexana smiled with a kind face as always, even after giving her wisdom that could not be bought even if a thousand gold pieces were given.

It was then.

“Hero!”

Ellahan, dressed in a monk’s habit, ran in from outside the training hall.

As an uncharacteristically urgent expression prevailed, Leon and Irexana’s faces hardened without anyone taking the lead.

Just because I had special training doesn’t mean I was negligent about external trends. No, it could be said that it was more sensitive because it did not go out into the open.

They say no news is good news.

As the old saying goes, I hoped no news would come through.

“A rebellion broke out centered around the nine border territories of the empire. The rebels announced the overthrow of the ‘Light Emperor’ Nex, and the estimated number of troops was about 500,000. “The numbers are being calculated in real time.”

“What is Emperor Guang’s response? “Saint.”

Ellahan responded to those words with a pale complexion.

“…It is said that about 500 children of nobles who were held hostage in the capital were executed that day, impaled on skewers and hung on the castle walls. And I heard that the garrison forces directly under the imperial capital and the knights of the Royal Guards have entered combat readiness and have begun conscription under harsh standards from surrounding territories.”

“It’s all-out war.”

As anyone who knows “Emperor Guang” would have guessed, the emperor was never one to step down. A tyrant who would kill all the nobles who rebelled and would not spare even a single relative of those who served under him.

Despite its cruel nature and behavior, it was said that the support class was solid and the power of the corps made up of unknown people was stronger than the Royal Guards under the direct control of the emperor.

Of course, the church assumed that the person behind it was an evil church, so they were going to spend more time investigating it in depth—

“Now that it’s like this, I guess I have no choice but to join the war.”

Irexana declared without a moment of hesitation.

The Kingdom of Jugend too.

Even the Holy Order.

He said he would jump into the civil war of the Clyde Empire. Ellahan said those words with an unusual expression.

“I have one more message.”

“Say yes.”

“It is said that the Kingdom of Perma and the Kingdom of Hispania, the Meryl Maritime Union, have also deployed troops to the border of the empire a few days ago. Judging by the size and composition of the troops, it seems that the purpose is not simply to prevent sparks from flying out of the empire.”

“…no way!”

Leon and Irexana, thinking of the worst possibility, opened their eyes almost simultaneously.

Four countries, including the three neighboring countries, Jugend, are involved in the civil war of Clyde, which is famous as the strongest on the continent? If a group with unaligned interests jumps into the mess, what will happen next is as obvious as fire.

Great Battle.

Considering the collateral damage of at least millions of people, it was a sign of a great war that would result in the blood of tens of millions of people.
