Overpowered Sword Chapter 277

Level up with swords (277)

When the entire continent began to experience great chaos due to the sudden secondary explosion of demonic realms and monster waves, only the Kingdom of Jugend was a few steps away from the chaos.

This was because Irexana, the third cardinal of the Holy Church, warned several times about the evil dragon Vritra and foreshadowed countermeasures.

Thanks to his quick response, as soon as the ‘Mirror Canyon’ ruptured, not a single one survived and was wiped out by the wave after wave of artillery units that the Kingdom of Jugend had fully loaded.

Even though it is one of the four major demonic realms, if you exclude the monsters of the deep level that are not graded, its risk level is at least B rank and up to S+ rank.

There were rare cases where the combat abilities of the monster itself were absurd.

Even those with special abilities, like the Kaleido Spider that invaded the Great Mine once before, will not be able to leave even a single bone fragment if they are hit by a large-scale bombardment before they can demonstrate their abilities.

Moreover, Monster Wave, which could be said to be a bigger problem than Demon Lord, was not a big deal in Youth.

It is difficult for monsters that form large groups like orcs to survive in areas that are rocky and contain a large amount of minerals.

The scale of the wave itself is insignificant.

“…It seems that the monsters living in the Great Mine generally do not move within their area. They will be more afraid of Albion, who is nearby, than of Vritra, who is shouting from afar.”

Irexana explained as she put down her finished tea cup.

Inside the great mineral vein, which was the foundation of the Kingdom of Jugend, there were a number of monsters commensurate with its size.

Nevertheless, the reason they did not come out of the mine was because of the presence of Albion, who had set up a hideout somewhere underground in Area 1.

Dragon Fear.

Vritra also combined that power with to create a monster wave across the entire continent, but because the distance was too far, its influence was bound to be less than that of the weakened Albion.

“Hmph, stop talking nonsense. Doesn’t “mostly” mean that there was someone who felt my peer and made a move?”

“There are only a few, less than 100.”

Albion said with a sneer and turned his eyes somewhere.

“Even if there were 10, it wouldn’t have been full, but there were 100. Every time something like this happens, I feel like my strength has diminished. “I barely saved my life thanks to someone, so should I at least say thank you again?”

“Why are sparks flying at me when I’m still standing still?”

El Cid, who was hanging on Leon’s waist, grumbled.

?So, who would joke around alone and get robbed by the devil? If it weren’t for me, he would have become the biggest dark figure among the dragons…?

“What? Black history?!”

?Oh, it’s not the maximum. Because the guy who thinks it’s Vritra is worse than you. Still, since he prevented me from being crowned a second time, I ask him to quietly thank me. Huh??

“I was a fool to be saved by a guy like you…!”

In the end, Albion held his temple and groaned.

Irexana couldn’t bear the silence that came immediately after that, so she opened her mouth to change the topic.

It was also a good time to get to the point.

“Hero.”

Irexana, who called out to Leon and saw him, opened her eyes in surprise at the change.

It had to be that way.

Although he could not compare to a grandmaster, he had reached a very high level in three fields. I was able to see Leon’s true colors as an Aura Master, an Elementalist, and as a Cardinal.

‘It’s dazzling.’

The body and spirit, which had become so stubborn that it was hard to believe they were living things, were blazing like the sun that had taken its form.

The auror that is refined from the body integrated with the four stigmata exudes a godly atmosphere like divine power. The same goes for both eyes. The iris and pupil of the eye were completely stained with golden light, sparkling sacredly as if looking at a sacred painting.

Irexana asked a question in a cautious manner.

“Are you…transcending?”

“yes.”

Leon answered immediately.

“I met several opportunities in famous songs.”

If you think about it, it can’t be said that it was the result of his efforts.

Deal with Cerberus, meeting with Sisyphus, etc.

In the end, it was Leon who achieved the result, but it would never have been possible without a timely coincidence.

Leon, who had been fiddling with the hilt of his sword, stood up.

“Shall I show you?”

“Yes, if you don’t mind.”

As a cardinal, Irexana, whose mental training was not shallow, was also a warrior. Following in the footsteps of those who went before one was almost a task given to all warriors.

Leon took a few steps first to gain some space and closed his eyes as he grabbed the hilt of his sword.

Was it because of my mood?

At the same time, Irexana took four steps back.

and.

————Wow.

Immediately after that, a wave of light centered on Leon flowed out.

Golden and white silver.

The brilliance of the two colors colored him and swirled around him as if a divine being had descended upon him.

I feel overwhelmed.

Irexana, seeing that in front of her eyes, unconsciously stopped breathing.

As a warrior, when faced with a being of higher rank than oneself, it is a self-defense instinct that prioritizes struggle over survival. Irexana almost unconsciously took out the weapon in both hands and barely stopped herself.

—Single star light

The light that overflowed from Leon’s heart sword.

A person who struggles alone and moves forward alone.

A flower that sprouts while looking at someone’s back and blooms after consuming an enormous amount of karma.

The power to bring the impossible down to the realm of the possible.

“…That’s amazing.”

Irexana was amazed.

Because I realized not only the beauty of that light, but also its power.

“Well, it’s only half.”

However, Leon gained strength by laughing bitterly at that exclamation.

As the light that filled the room fades, the swell of presence subsides and the air becomes lighter.

Irexana asked back with a puzzled expression.

“You mean half?”

“I can’t use this without the holy sword.”

Leon responded by tapping the hilt of his sword.

In reality, it was just as he said.

His body was already that of a transcendental, and so were the overflowing auras and spiritual core. The growth rate was so fast that all the dishes could not keep up, so it became overloaded.

It doesn’t matter when you use your power with a holy sword, but otherwise, your body or sword will be shattered before you can draw up all your power.

[It doesn’t really matter since you fight with a holy sword anyway, right?]

‘That’s true, but.’

The fact that there is one clear weakness is unpleasant.

Although it may sound like a full-fledged complaint because other people have reached a level that they have not been able to reach even if they worked hard for tens or hundreds of years.

The very nature of ?Independent Seonggwang? was also problematic.

Even in its unfinished state, it had the power to cut down Sisyphus’s , and the destructive power unleashed in its intact state easily surpassed what both Leon and El Cid had assumed.

Just a little bit of power that Leon couldn’t control was enough to destroy his own body and weapons.

‘Other than the Holy Sword, there is no weapon that can contain the .’

The same was true for ‘Jugendsteel’, the pride of the Jugend Kingdom.

Even if the strength of special metals such as mithril or adamantium is great, it is nothing compared to their power that surpasses even the laws of physics. If anything, Leon’s body became even stronger after becoming a grandmaster.

After hearing his explanation, Irexana agreed.

“The problem is the rapid growth rate and the explosive nature of the test itself. “It is not a problem that can be solved in the short term.”

“We don’t have any time left.”

Leon said after looking at the map spread out on the other side of the table.

A continental map full of markings that look bad at first glance.

The situation was understandable even to an outsider.

“I heard the dungeon break got bigger?”

“We have always been good at blocking the four major demonic areas, including ‘Mirror Canyon,’ but the management of the demonic areas that are not properly named has been relatively neglected.”

“The goblin behind you is scarier than the orc in front of you…”

“It’s just as the hero said.”

Irexana said while nodding her head once.

“A monster wave that is a mixture of monsters and wild monsters that poured out of a demonic realm that was neglected. The volume has already greatly exceeded 1 million units and has reached level 2 risk. “The priests and castle knights are working hard, but we still don’t have enough hands.”

“What about the areas of the sub-races?”

“The forest where the elves live seems to be well-defended. “Because they are a very cautious species, they install a large number of barriers and traps in preparation for external invasions.”

I guess it wasn’t planned in preparation for this disaster.

The elves, a race that maintains a young and beautiful appearance, have always suffered from humans who cannot control even a single desire.

Although the Allied Forces of 300 years ago had shaken off some of their old feelings, it did not take that long for humans who could not live even 100 years to completely forget their comradeship.

The elves who turned away from humans were not thrown into the forest for no reason. This was because it was an extremely favorable environment for them.

“In the case of the beast people, it is said that they used the desert terrain together with the nomads to bury tens of thousands of monster waves in quicksand. “It seems like he’s handling it pretty well.”

“Whoa, I’m glad.”

“It’s thanks to the hero’s efforts so far. “If they were in a confrontational situation like before, it wouldn’t have worked out well.”

Leon blushed for a moment at Irexana’s praise, but then remembered something and pulled out the holy sword.

It was not to cut something, but to activate one of the holy sword’s functions.

Ugh.

The light emitted from the blade drew a translucent map.

The shape of the continent as if seen from a distant sky.

It would have been more beautiful if there weren’t yellow, orange, and red marks all over the map.

However, there was something else that Leon was trying to find.

“…there is.”

All eyes gathered in one place, following his voice.

It was in the middle of the map of the continent.

A black mark shaped like a dragon’s head. Considering the scale, the marker is moving so fast that the distance can be measured in hundreds or thousands of kilometers.

There was no need for anyone to explain or explain its identity.

The evil dragon Vritra.

“It’s moving in the direction of the Titan Mountains.”

Irexana said after looking into the guy’s path.

Leon agreed with him, but also had doubts.

‘why? Why are you going to the Titan Mountains?’

It was a decision that was easily understandable through strategic analysis.

No matter how many monsters from other regions are gathered, it is less than 10% of the power that can be used in the Titan Mountains.

There was only one place on the entire continent where A-rank dangerous monsters were running around like mountain goblins. Even if only the monsters in the outskirts could be guided, Jugend’s defense line would be in jeopardy.

But Leon expected it to avoid the Titan Mountains.

‘Because the death penalty remains there.’

I realized this only after becoming a grandmaster.

The only true threat to Vritra is his brother Cassim.

Even if Ellahan’s worked effectively and completely neutralized , there were few people capable of making an effective hit against Vritra, who was an ancient dragon and had become even more powerful.

There was nothing more to say if it was 1:1.

An unconditional defeat to anyone other than Kasim and Leon. It was fortunate that he did not fall victim to the Fall and become a slave.

‘If it’s the death penalty, I’ll be stronger than I am now. Considering Vritra’s caution, there is no way she would want to fight one-on-one with her brother.’

He was the type of guy who, if he saw even the slightest chance of losing, would step back and use up his strength with his subordinates.

Even if you call me a coward, it will just be ignored.

Even after Roderick died, he was not sure of his death, so he hid for every hundred years, so if there was even a 100% chance of defeat, he would definitely avoid it until he had a 100% chance of winning.

And yet, he flies without hesitation to the mountain range where Cassim and the Titans are encamped?

‘why?’

Leon’s doubts were soon resolved in an unexpected way.

“That Grand Meister!”

A dwarf who ran into Irexana’s office screamed before she could ask what was going on.

Albion frowned at his rudeness, but his eyes widened in surprise at what he said next.

That was some news.

“Big giant! The Giant King has arrived! He brought all the Titans with him!”

Everyone in the room jumped to their feet, no matter who was first.
