Overpowered Sword Chapter 155

Level up with swords (155)

From heaven to earth.

From earth to sky.

The falling starlight and the soaring starlight showed their fangs without anyone knowing who was first. A decisive battle that can turn even S-rank dangerous monsters into minced meat with a single blow!

〈Mengho Yuseongak〉 and 〈Hocheon Samyeonseong〉 collided in the sky.

―――――――――――!!!

A dazzling light swirls around.

Those who followed the light and looked up at the sky cupped their faces with both hands. Only the chiefs of each tribe and Leon’s group, Barg and his two siblings, were looking at it with sad eyes.

Those with skills below expert level cannot even be seen.

The shock wave that spreads without any sound instantly turns the atmosphere into a vacuum. It only lasted a few seconds, so it didn’t really affect breathing, but the beastmen, who have particularly sensitive senses, felt that moment and trembled.

“…Amazing.”

Varg was honestly amazed at the sight.

Huracan, who had achieved such a level by honing his martial arts on his own, was amazing, and it was also absurd that Leon, who had just entered adolescence, was competing on equal footing with him.

I don’t feel like I’m going to lose.

However, only a vague feeling that no matter which of the two he dealt with would not end easily, caught him.

It was then.

Kuwaaaaaa―――!!

The light swirling in the air trembled violently and soon exploded, scattering its power in all directions.

A vortex of golden light sweeps across a radius of hundreds of meters, tearing the air. Since the explosion point was dozens of meters in the air, it would have been so powerful that it would have caused at least hundreds of casualties if it had exploded in the middle of the duel arena.

People who watched it thought at the same time.

Did it cancel out?

“-no!”

Hathi cried out before anyone else.

If they were canceled out, there is no way the shock wave would be golden. It would have been scattered into colorless and transparent shapes.

Then, the winner of this clash is none other than.

“Leon won!”

As if to prove Hati’s words, a Huracan fell from the distant sky onto the battlefield. Just like when it leapt, the figure with its body covered in dark red fog swayed unstably.

The Huracan couldn’t even land properly.

Coo! The Huracan landed with a sound, fell to one knee, and spit out blood from its mouth that roared loudly.

Fresh blood that shines red and transparent.

This is evidence that he suffered internal injuries that shook his energy and blood.

[No, it’s brave that you survived. If it were the guys who came to the duel arena earlier, I would have killed them at least three times.]

‘I guess they’re not the second-in-command of the plains for nothing.’

Leon responded to El Cid’s words and straightened his sword.

Although it was better than the Huracan, which was hit by shock waves as well as the fact that the was broken, the consumption of the was significant.

A feeling of helplessness that makes you want to sit down.

The auror, which had been filling up like a lake, was empty, leaving only a few sips. My arms, which had been able to handle Oui’s repulsive force, were shaking and my legs were shaking as if I would collapse at any moment.

‘Still, I won.’

It was a fight I could either win or lose.

An enemy whose victory you cannot be certain of is something that feels infinitely more rewarding when you overcome it.

That’s why Leon smiled without realizing it.

and.

“…no way.”

When I saw the Huracan standing up on two legs, I erased the smile that had formed on my face.

It can’t even be compared to the momentum when we first encountered it.

If it was a storm back then, it’s just a breeze now.

Nevertheless, Leon opened his eyes wide and gritted his teeth. Contrary to rational judgment, instinct was warning. This fight is not over yet.

…Ugh…Uuuung….

The fighting spirit that had been amplified by was lightly scattered, revealing Huracan’s body covered in dark red fog.

It was a literal disaster.

The whole body was so covered in blood that no stripes could be seen. The deep cuts alone were in the double digits, and he suffered deep internal injuries due to the aftermath of the decisive battle.

Death scene.

With a body that could lead to death with one effective blow, he lunged at Leon without hesitation.

Hehehe!

It was an insignificant roar.

Sound and power.

Leon felt his core vibrating at the roar that left nothing behind.

Kaang!

Cut away the incoming sting with a single slash.

light.

It can’t even be compared to the first attack, where my body was completely shaken even though I was able to completely get rid of it.

But Leon was able to make a statement.

‘Strong…!’

If Huracan was completely devastated, Leon had used up most of his power. The Huracan attacking with what little strength was left was also a threat that Leon could not overlook.

The problem was physical ability resulting from differences in species.

Leon’s body is horribly broken by a single blow from Huracan, which is close to a living corpse. ‘Guardian’s Stigmata’ heals him in real time, but he cannot escape the state of auric exhaustion for at least a few minutes.

The final finale.

Huracan, who closed his eyes, and Leon, who had lost even the ability to breathe, rushed at each other.

Kaang!

He catches a roundhouse kick performed with his right foot with his sword and moves forward, passing the impact behind his body. At the same time, the Huracan’s empty abdomen was revealed, but Leon did not even pay attention to it.

Even if you cut it with a blade that is not an , it will only result in a scratch. Leon had already experienced the physical strength of the tiger tribe, so he focused on moving his feet rather than swinging his sword.

In a martial arts fight, the object to be subdued is space.

For Leon, who was smaller than Huracan, his range was like that of a typhoon.

Whoa!

A few strands of hair were broken off by the claws sticking out from above the head.

Eye of the typhoon.

The martial art created by Huracan, Howangryu, basically involved swinging one’s limbs like a whip. As a result, there were several weaknesses in close combat, where it was difficult to utilize rotational power.

If he had reason, he would have made up for even his shortcomings with wit, but now the Huracan is a beast with only the fighting instinct remaining.

‘If it’s an animal, you can attack it as much as you like.’

He plunges his sword into the side of Huracan, who doesn’t know what to do with him as he crawls into his arms. As I said before, Leon’s physical strength cannot cut through that flesh or bone.

But what if the wound was already open?

When I opened the wound on my side that had been cut in the aftermath of , the blood that had stopped for a moment poured out.

Even the Tigris are in no condition to endure.

“Kaaaaaaak!”

Huracan screamed in pain and swung both arms.

It is a primitive swing that is not even a proper technique.

A struggle that only instinctively tries to push the enemy away. Leon even felt a faint pity for that struggling gesture.

Anything more than this is meaningless.

Unless you defeat him for sure.

‘Let’s finish.’

Unlike Leon, Huracan’s body went beyond its limits.

The gap between Leon, who continued to recover from the ‘guardian’s stigmata’, and Huracan, who poured out his power like a bottomless poison, widened further and never narrowed again.

Strikes away the arms that are swinging randomly.

Leon, who deflected a series of sharp kicks and dug into the gap, turned his sword back. It is the blade, not the blade. I was going to knock him unconscious with a single punch to the temporal region.

The moment when I was about to throw away my sword from the bull stance.

Stop.

For some reason, Leon stopped taking half a step forward.

He didn’t even know it himself. Why did you stop? It was an opportunity to defeat the opponent, so why did you hesitate?

It was right after that.

Sigh!

The whip-like tail struck the empty air.

The blow was aimed at exactly the spot where Leon’s chin would have been if he had taken half a step further.

A terrifying, dark attack full of speculation.

When Leon looked at him with a cold feeling on the back of his neck, Huracan, who had regained his senses in his eyes, opened his mouth.

“…It is a Howang-style hoe heating system.”

Huracan, who was acting like he had lost his mind and was going crazy, laughed bitterly.

“Was it a mistake to show it once?”

“Yes, if it was my first time, I would have suffered.”

Leon agreed with that.

The reason I was able to intuitively stop my steps was because I experienced it once. When they attempted a counterattack after breaking down the ‘Fighting Tiger Attack’, they were cut off by the tail sticking out from a square.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to react to this attack.

“Damn it…”

Huracan muttered in a defeated voice and sat down.

He also realized it.

The counterattack just moments ago was said to be the last opportunity given.

“Ha, I lost.”

As always, the taste of defeat was bitter.

Still, Huracan’s face, which closed its eyes, was gentler than usual because of an inexplicable feeling of relief.

Varg, who heard his voice, concluded the game.

“The third duel is the victory of adventurer Leon! With this, Hathi won three times, confirming multiple wins! “The fourth duel will not be conducted separately and the assembly duel will be ended!”

Since I won three out of four duels, there was no need to even proceed with the final duel. Squall, who had lost even the chance to fight, listened to the declaration with a devastated expression.

Who would have thought it would turn out like this?

Even though all of the members of the Jujeon faction were among the strongest in the steppe, the duel ended in victory for the Juhwa faction.

The tribal leaders’ meeting started off eventfully from the first day.

* * *

“It’s our victory!”

Hathi, who came to Leon’s barracks during the given break after finishing the duel, spoke with a triumphant expression.

“I don’t know if Chief Bulls and Totuga are the chiefs, but since they have defeated Chief Huracan, there will be no one trying to replace fault anymore. He is indeed a hero! “It was the majesty of a true master of our Fenrir clan!”

“Well, it was still close.”

Leon responded to the compliment by waving his hands.

“I never thought that I would not only break through the five-pointed sword of the ‘Seven Star Sword’ with my strength and fight further, but also hide my last move. “If I hadn’t avoided it intuitively, I might have lost.”

No matter how many times I thought about it, the sight before my eyes was dizzying.

The Huracan was strong and compact.

He freely used a form of martial arts that did not go against his wild nature and caught off guard with unusual techniques. It was in the realm of water fighting to trick him into letting down his guard by pretending to lose his senses while he was in a state of complete disrepair and then attempting a secret attack.

He manipulated falsehood without learning from anyone.

[If you had been hit by that, you would have been scolded by me, disciple.]

El Cid said with a chuckle.

[You were at ease until then, right? Victory has already been decided and we must stop before the opponent gets further injured or dies. Isn’t that right?]

‘…That’s right.’

[I was too arrogant to try to show mercy to someone who was tied. Also, I didn’t write ‘Jugendstil’ until the end.]

‘That’s it.’

[Is it because the other party’s armament is poor?]

El Cid, who cut off Leon’s words, shot back.

[But why didn’t you take into account the fact that your physical capabilities are more than ten times different from that of that guy? Are you saying that the gap is fair and the gap caused by weapons is not fair?]

‘….’

When Leon, who had hit the nail on the head, fell silent, El Cid urged him in an unusually deep voice.

[Don’t be mistaken. In the end, things outside of the body are your strength and your abilities. Aurors are nothing more than a distillation of power received from outside the body, and martial arts are nothing more than functions added to the body. The idea is not to draw that boundary according to the standards of common sense.]

‘Don’t be caught up in common sense…?’

[Yes, it is your mind that distinguishes between the outside and the inside. Shingeomhapil is not that big of a deal. It’s all about whether or not you can accept the sword in your hand as ‘yourself’.]

El Cid said it casually, but the wisdom contained in it penetrated the essence of nothingness.

If it were his usual Leon, he wouldn’t have been able to understand.

Even those who were born with natural talent were frustrated because they could not understand a few words of Holy King Roderick’s teachings. It was not something that could be attributed to being smart or having a good understanding.

However, Leon’s mind and body were stretched to their limit due to the fight against Huracan, so he accepted the advice indifferently rather than understanding it with his clumsy intellect.

‘If it is my mind that distinguishes between inside and outside, how far am I? ‘If I am the one who decides that, am I the world?’

Suddenly, Leon’s eyes opened.

Using El Cid’s words as an opportunity, he fell into self-indulgence.

A moment of enlightenment that you don’t know how many times you will come in your life.

Karen and Ellahan, who noticed this, hurriedly dragged Hati outside the barracks and stood looking around as if sealing off the area.

‘What distinguishes myself from this world? If it is the mind that draws the boundary, can the mind be said to be me? The will to change the world may also be a type of boundary….’ A

topic that may or may not be known even after thinking about it for years, perhaps even decades. is slowly coming to an end.

I could see a golden glow fluttering under my half-open eyelids, the space around my body shaking greatly, and the boundary between self and other shaking.

someone said

I think, therefore I exist (Cogito ergo sum).

[Then how you exist depends on your thoughts.]

Define your own existence without leaving it to anyone else.

That would be the beginning of escaping the bonds of mortality.

[Ask and answer yourself.]

El Cid grinned as he happily looked down at his student who was finally about to take the first step.

[Leon, who are you?]
