Level up with swords (120)

Leon didn’t understand what he was saying.

Irexana’s guess wasn’t suspicious or shocking. It was simply because he did not know what ‘chaos’ meant.

El Cid, noticing his doubts, spoke.

[It is one of the sects that make up the evil cult. There’s a lot of variety in the topic of trash. [They even divided them into sects.]

‘An evil sect?!’

Only then did Leon realize the seriousness of the situation and his eyes widened.

evil religion.

They are evil and traitors to the world who want to sell this world to satisfy their own selfish desires. He was the hero’s main enemy who had to be annihilated beyond any room for reformation.

Those who tried to ‘swallow the city’ in Blaine were also part of it, but would you have guessed that they even reached out to the Kingdom of Jugend?

Irexana finished speaking, perhaps knowing how he felt.

―It seems unlikely that the squires of will deliberately target the expedition or set up traps, but please be careful. M13 has sent brothers who can assist you in unexpected situations, so talk to Sir Geoff and he will help you.

No further words were given after that advice.

When Leon reflexively turned to the side, Geoff, who was also looking at his face, bowed politely.

It was not an attitude towards an adventurer.

It seemed like Irexana had already announced it.

‘Team 11 consisted of three Seongcheolsaegi Knights and one Spiritualist.’

There is a high possibility that the Spiritualist will also be recruited by the church, so the available power in case of emergency has been doubled.

There was nothing bad about Leon at all.

I needed more information about ‘Chaos’ than that.

El Cid said.

[The evil sect’s subspecies are largely divided into three sects. “Destruction,” “Despair,” and “Chaos.” [

Evil religions do not worship gods.

Worshiping the devil was also just a means to acquire the external law, but fundamentally it was nothing more than a matter of interest.

Therefore, the three sects were not classified by religious faith.

A form of madness.

How crazy one is is what distinguishes the three evil sects.

[〈Ruin〉 is the simplest. Because most of the incidents that come to mind when we think of evil religions originated from them. Destroying the world is the sole purpose of ‘Destruction.’ There is a greater than 90% chance that 〈Devouring the City〉 was also planned by them.]

‘Why are you trying to destroy the world?’

[I don’t know.]

El Cid answered immediately.

[Do not try to understand the thoughts of a madman. No matter what the reason, if something cannot be tolerated, it is right to destroy it without considering the circumstances.]

‘…is it a heresy because mercy is not allowed?’

[It is exactly as it is said.]

The cornerstone doctrine of the Holy Church is ‘Mercy.’

Even if a person committed an evil act, if the act did not go too far, the church’s policy was to recommend something that would make up for the crime by giving them the opportunity to be judged and time to repent.

Therefore, being designated as a heretic was equivalent to not being given any opportunity or time.

[〈Despair〉 is more cruel than 〈Destruction〉. To explain it in an easy-to-understand way, think of it as preferring torture to murder.]

‘Ah.’

[They say that the external god they worship feels pleasure from the pain of intelligent beings. Maybe that’s why the bastards belonging to the ‘Despair’ sect are particularly sadistic and masochistic.]

If ‘Destruction’ wants to kill and destroy efficiently, ‘Despair’ prefers to squeeze out as much pain as possible, even if it is a bit inefficient. do.

There are even some who receive their power by torturing themselves, and many of the followers of ‘Despair’ are far from normal people in appearance. They say they intentionally contracted an infectious disease, or they harmed themselves habitually, leaving all parts of their bodies completely disfigured.

‘Either way, both of you are out of your mind…’

With Leon groaning at his incomprehensible behavior, El Cid spoke ‘chaos’ for the third and final time.

[ are just idiots.]

‘…Huh? ‘Is that all?’

[There is no more accurate explanation than that. Behavior patterns and goals. Because the characteristic of is that it is crazy in every single place. Basically, there is no ‘why’ behind their evil deeds. [Why it was like that there and why is completely unclear.]

Because there is no regularity at all, it is ‘chaos’ and the only purpose of existence is to make this world more chaotic.

There is a big difference compared to and , where the way of thinking is distorted but maintains consistency. Compared to the two sects, they are inferior in strength and cruelty, but are more dangerous because they do not know where they will fall.

That was why Irexana wasn’t sure.

《Entering Article 11 M13-1.》

《Article 14! Go to M13-5. See you later!》

At that time, the voices of the two leaders woke Leon up.

I didn’t realize it because I was concentrating on El Cid’s explanation, but before I knew it, each of the three groups was at a crossroads.

The way into the mine shaft.

Leon also notified them of their entry into the mine.

《Team 8 also enters M13-2. Let’s meet again inside.》

After bowing to the two leaders once, Leon walked into the tunnel with the three of them.

Lamps hanging at regular intervals.

Unlike the B38-5, there seemed to be no broken or burnt-out lamps, as if they were well maintained. The visibility distance is about 50 meters. Because the road is not straight, blind spots appear every time you turn a corner.

It would be safe to say that this is the beginning of the expedition.

“Karen.”

“huh.”

Establish a formation as agreed in advance.

Karen, who was in charge of scouting as the advance team, followed by Leon, the wizard Hazel, who was in charge of the vanguard, and Garlond, who was preparing for an attack from the rear.

The four people lined up like that began to move forward.

M13-2.

The characteristic of the mithril mine was that mana was accumulated throughout the mineral vein, so abundant that it glowed softly. It is not for nothing that grade 1 or higher artifacts use mithril as an essential ingredient.

“In this space, both aura and magical energy will recover faster and the destructive power of magic will appear greater. “One…”

Hazel continued, saying that there were not only advantages.

“Because mana is oversaturated, the precision and range of detection magic have been greatly reduced. “It would be best not to expect too much from my locative abilities.”

“I’ll remember it.”

Leon nodded at those words and took a few steps again before suddenly stopping.

“Karen stop.”

At the same time, Karen stood tall.

It neither questions nor raises objections. Because they had experienced this situation dozens of times.

Leon closed his eyes as he felt the two’s puzzled gazes.

Then he lifted his right foot and rolled it once.

thud.

The aura flowing from the soles of his feet spread out in concentric circles, sweeping the surrounding area and then returning.

One of the applied technologies of 〈Public Method〉.

It was a wave echo method.

“Karen, strike with a dagger to the location I designate.”

“okay.”

It is a relationship of trust where there is not a single doubt.

As Leon traced four shafts with his fingers, Karen inserted the drawn daggers into the gaps between her fingers.

A maximum of four daggers can be fired at once with the .

Use the index and middle fingers of both hands as support.

Taaaaang!

Four daggers are fired at the speed of sound, cutting through the walls of the mine shaft with a loud noise, scattering dust.

The seemingly meaningless

volley of fire was met with a sigh…!

The Crag Mutants hiding in the tunnel rose up.

A silver-white fuselage mixed with mithril.

Although the number is slightly smaller than that of the B38, the combat power of each individual is more than three times that of the B38. Still, the ones who had been attacked by Karen first had some part of their bodies broken and looked unsightly.

Hazel saw this and shouted in a shocked voice.

“How did you detect it? “I learned that even high-level magic can’t replace a Crag Mutant in a dormant state!?”

“It’s one of my martial arts visions. “We’ll talk later.”

Leon naturally took a step forward and spoke.

“After taking down those guys first.”

Move your eyes quickly to count the number of them.

There are 7 intact ones and 3 damaged ones.

Unfortunately, there was one person who fell while halfway up, probably because the dagger hit the core. As I remembered that the first group of Crags I encountered were 11, I recalled the knowledge I had learned from the guidebook.

‘The Crag Mutants in the Mithril Mine accumulate mana in their bodies and use one to three types of primitive magic. However, it is said that there is a weakness in that magic core is created near the heart in the center of the body in order to use magic.’

Garlond said as he approached the back.

“Please give instructions to the leader.”

“…Miss Hazel will use low-level magic to tie down their feet, Karen will move at will and maintain a mid-distance range, and Mr. Garlond will take charge of the front line with me, and we will take out any gaps one by one as we see them.”

“Good!”

“I understood.”

The moment the four people completed their battle stance, Craggs also took a step forward and leaned forward.

Coo! Coogung! Kugugoong!

Although they are lighter than steel, stones that weigh hundreds of kilograms rush by. The Mithril Crags quickly narrowed the distance to 30 meters and rushed towards the two swordsmen as if they were going to be crushed to death.

However, Hazel’s magic exploded one beat ahead.

“[Let the wind become an arrow.]”

When you wave the staff with the three words of the spell, the air gathers together and the point becomes sharp.

30 shots.

As an A-rank wizard, the amount of even low-level magic is different.

Papapapapapapang!

Thirty wind arrows fired like a crossbow stuck in the Crags’ bodies, stopping their charge. Shooting aimed only at the point where the center of gravity can be accurately shaken.

Taking advantage of the Crags’ momentum slowing down, the swordsmen charged in, narrowing the distance to just a few steps.

Cough!

The body of the person hit by the holy sword is deeply dented and staggers back a few steps. The durability is three levels higher than that of iron mine cracks. It cannot be cut with a single sword using the .

‘If it were , I could cut it down.’

The consumption of power grows unnecessarily. Leon clicked his tongue at the intensity and reversed his stance.

Concentrate on one point.

Slashing (斬撃) done with lines and qualification (刺擊) done with divination. For Mithril Crags whose weaknesses were clearly revealed, stabbing was a more effective technique.

Still, it’s hard to do once.

At least three times? If I made a mistake, I had to hit harder.

‘No, wait a minute.’

Leon blinked his eyes as a sudden thought occurred to him.

‘If you knew the location of the nucleus from the beginning. And if there is a technology that can push power beyond that…?

Wouldn’t it be easy to defeat them if they just destroy the magic core without having to break through the physical defense?

It is not impossible if you apply the 〈Public Law〉.

Leon’s golden eyes sparkled brightly.

The flow, which can be seen as the ‘Stigmata of the Watcher’, is distorting around the Krags’ magical core. The center is its weak point. Unlike the monsters in the Hyeoncheol Mine, it has a large mana reserve and can read not only the location of the core but also its wavelength.

“Sigh!”

A momentary gap.

Leon’s sword shot out like a thunderbolt and struck one of the Krags’ chests. The auror who was staying around the sword flinched for a moment and then started using the sword without anyone watching.

Although the stab itself was perfect, Cragg’s injuries were minor.

Proving its durability, only a few centimeters of indentation remains, showing that the sword was stuck in it.

but.

Quick.

I couldn’t handle the bomb exploding inside my body.

Cragg, who had only been stabbed once, suddenly stumbled and immediately fell to the ground and stopped moving.

To other people, it was truly an unbelievable sight.

“…It works properly.”

Leon, who defeated the guy with one blow, grinned.

The four days of training seemed to have been quite effective, as the act of injecting auras using the ‘Gongbeop’ was easier than expected.

Unlike the wave echo technique, this is a technique that gathers the aura in one place and inserts it into the opponent’s body to explode it. A human might have been able to block the infiltration by mobilizing auras or magical power, but there was no way that monsters that used primitive strength could have prevented it properly.

Since he knew the location of the magic core and used it, it was even more strange that he couldn’t catch it in one shot.

“It’s stronger than the B38’s Crags, but this one is easier.”

It was possible to have a battle that was a step down from the ones at the Hyeoncheol Mine, which had to replace and destroy the core.

This method can significantly save power.

El Cid said.

[It’s called empty pasan. Well, it’s not a bad thing.]

‘Gongpasan?’

[This is the name of the technology I just wrote about. It can be said to be a penetrating scope limited to pores that allow the aura to flow and destroy the inside. Currently, it only works on inanimate objects, but as the proficiency increases, it can be used to break barriers or compressed power like an .]

〈 Like “Auror Blade,” it did not work on powers that exceeded the laws of physics, but it was a useful technique below that.

Leon aimed his sword while memorizing the application method.

There were still more than half of the Crag Mutants left.

But the Crags were no longer the enemy.

‘Shall we practice?’

After looking around at the group who were fighting well, Leon stabbed his sword towards Krag, who was wandering alone.

Quick.

Without fail, he falls down with one blow and the tide turns.

Group 8’s first battle didn’t last long.
