Overpowered Sword Chapter 161

Level up with the sword (161)

“It’s this way.”

Al Razaz moved with Leon to a deserted place on the outskirts of Amar. The warriors lined up, leaving no room for even a rat to escape, get out of the way, and as the sounds of people laughing and talking become more and more distant, a heavy silence falls.

How long did you walk?

Accompanied by only a few warriors, the two finally arrived at the place where the ‘monster’ was separately imprisoned.

It’s dreary.

That was the feeling Leon got when he set foot there.

Growling…

A growling sound like an animal filled with hunger and hatred.

There was no such thing as reason.

No, even if it existed, it wouldn’t have meant much. The undead have two powers. Because it was the order of the magician controlling it and the blind and absolute hatred towards living beings.

“That’s…!”

Leon, seeing the true face of this guy, took a deep breath.

It was a monster I had never heard of.

Bandages caked with pus covered the entire body, and the skin exposed between them was twisted and shriveled like a withered corpse in the middle of the desert. At the same time, the ominous glow in the eyes was dark green, making those who saw it fearful.

Not only that, but the miasma flowing through the dark bandages writhing around the body continued to threaten living things.

“I’ve already tied it up for four days and it’s still moving well.”

Al Razaz sneered and stabbed the monster tied to the pillar with a knife, but the monster did not even scream or moan.

It seemed that pain sensation did not exist.

[It’s a mummy. Recovery is faster than expected? [It’s to the point of making followers and spreading them around.]

El Cid said in an irritated voice.

[It is a member of a family with the trait of immortality. Originally, it was a funeral custom, but uses it to turn the dead into puppets that move according to their will.]

‘Immortality means they can’t be killed?’

[Well, it’s not impossible. It’s just a little tricky. It would be difficult if it wasn’t an with Holy Law or solar attributes.]

At that time, Al Razaz joined the conversation.

“How is it? “What about these unholy and hideous beings?”

“…Yes, it is truly terrible.”

Leon answered that question honestly.

Unlike those created with black magic, the undead created through stimulated the instinctive aversion of living things.

This is different from regular undead, which are avoided simply because they are ugly, smelly, and dangerous. ‘Existence’ itself causes the beings of this world to feel rejected.

[Perhaps it is more so because you are the owner of the Holy Sword. Because the stigmata were created for the purpose of detecting and eradicating extraterrestrial existence.]

‘Ah, the stigmata of the Watcher!’

Only then did Leon remember the stigmata in his own eyes, and he widened his eyes and glared at the mummy.

Then, the darkness that had shimmered around the body cleared and a soul was seen crying out in pain inside.

A by-product of unforgivable evil deeds.

It was the power to blaspheme the dead who needed to replace rest.

“As I said before, these monsters could not be killed even if you stabbed them with a knife or crushed them with a hammer.”

Al Razaz said in a dry voice.

“We tried burning them using magic or incantation, burying them in the ground, or soaking them in water for a long time. “When I burned it, the playback speed felt a little slower, but eventually everything returned to normal.”

This was the most frightening thing about ‘Foreign Law’.

I don’t know how to deal with it.

Even if you try every method that comes to mind, most of them have no significant effect or no response.

Only the sacred method worked well in any case.

‘But the Bedouin do not worship gods. There are only a few branches of the denomination. So it must have been more difficult to respond.’

The Holy Church never forces faith.

Rather than moving around those who reject, we simply extend our hand to those who embrace.

Due to such circumstances, sacred law could not be the answer in the great desert.

“I had no choice but to cut off the limbs and fix them by driving thick stakes into the body. “Whether you regenerate or not, if your entire body is tied up, no harm can come to you.”

“Well done.”

For the Bedouin, this was the best response.

If you keep killing it, it will come back to life endlessly, so you will be arrested with only its combat power lost. Although it is inefficient, there are no other effective measures.

Al Razaz said with a bitter smile.

“Still, I could destroy it with the . “In terms of combat power alone, it’s absurd that we have to use ‘Auror Blade’ on people who can’t even reach B rank.”

It was thanks to him that Amar was fine.

Villages with thousands of warriors eventually fell to the mummy’s immortality and massive offensive, but Al Razazman was able to destroy them, so there was no major damage.

Conversely, this situation was created where only a few animals were left alive, then they were captured and a solution was studied.

‘Create undead that cannot be killed except by Holy Law or and control them like an army…’

And the life that the mummies suck from killing the living flows into Nephrenka and becomes the food that makes him perfect. do. After death, the body joins the army as another mummy.

It is extremely efficient and vicious enough to make you shiver.

Unlike the monsters that ran wild and killed based on their own instincts, it was an ability that felt like calculated malice. To kill even one more life, to sow more death on earth.

Leon’s eyes sank coldly as he sensed this.

‘He’s a guy who shouldn’t exist.’

For Leon, it was the moment when his impression of Nephren Ka from ‘The Black Pharaoh’ was solidified.

‘El Cid.’

[Huh?]

Leon asked as he took a step forward.

‘What should I do to free these mummies?’

[…There is only one way in the end.]

El Cid answered.

[Not only the 〈Foreign Law〉, but even its by-products are worthless to the Holy Sword. If you cut it with even your aura, it will scatter right away.]

As if waiting for those words, the holy sword was pulled out.

Kiyiing.

A blade stained with golden aura struck down the mummy.

Sigh!

At the same time, the bandages that had wrapped the mummy dispersed like water mist, revealing the desiccated human body. The green eye light goes out and the eyes return to normal.

Because of the Holy Sword, the influence of ‘Outer Law’ was stripped away.

An unknown man smiled.

“…Thank you… Thank you…” Immediately

after that, the body that had been continuously abused even after death collapsed into a handful of dust and fell down.

Al Razaz, who was watching from behind, opened his mouth.

“How did you…?”

“My sword contains divine power. And these undead are weak to the sun. Surrounding the body with darkness is probably to prevent it from coming into contact with sunlight.”

“Huh, I guess you knew the identity of these?”

“This is my first time seeing it with the naked eye. “They are creatures that only remain in ancient records.”

Leon asked back, answering his question.

“Even if we hold on to it, we won’t be able to replace out any more information. “Do you mind if I give them their rest?”

“…Please.”

Al Razaz said with a sad expression.

That doesn’t mean he didn’t know that these monsters were undead based on nomads. Even though he knew, he pretended not to know and only swung his sword for the sake of the living.

If he had known that there was a suffering soul left in that body like a moment ago, he would have destroyed it with his own hands a long time ago, rather than holding it like this.

Afterwards, Leon swung his sword a few more times, and the gloomy air no longer remained in the clearing.

‘Forgive me for being late.’

They said they did their best, but if they had been a little faster, they might not have died. Leon looked at the pile of dust at his feet and bowed once.

Behind a warrior’s back, only comedy remains, but tragedy always awaits him in front.

Another burden he had to carry increased.

[Hmm?]

It was that moment.

El Cid noticed the discomfort before anyone else, and Al Razaz’s complexion hardened a beat later.

Finally, Leon responded.

Creepy.

As the pores tighten, the hair all over my body stands up stiffly, and the nape of my neck, damp with a few drops of cold sweat, feels unpleasantly soggy.

‘What is it?’

It was an indescribable feeling.

I felt as if I had been caught in someone’s hands and had fallen into a swamp that I couldn’t get out of.

Even if there was no actual force interfering, it was a presence that made even Al Razaz, including Leon, hold onto the hilt of his sword. The eyes of a man located far away were looking down at them.

〈Black Pharaoh〉 Nephren Ka’s eyes.

“―――Ugh.”

As soon as he recognized that, Leon gritted his teeth.

It was a being that could not help but be intimidated.

Nevertheless, Leon raised his head without flinching. As if they were directly facing Nephren Ka’s gaze, which was looking down at them as if they were watching ants from above.

At some point, he roared wildly while swinging the holy sword in his hand.

“go away—-!!”

The straight sword light cuts through the empty sky.

Was it because of my mood?

Something was cut off by the sword that Leon swung.

It was immediately after that that Nephrenka’s gaze disappeared.

[oh? It’s quite good!]

El Cid said as if he was proud.

[It may not have been my intention to cut the ‘eyes’ of the higher dimension, but I did a great job. Neprenka That bastard must have been pissed too.]

I got a kick out of a guy I thought was a scoundrel.

Even if the actual damage is not large, the damage to prestige and reputation is immeasurable. The shame was even more intense for the Pharaoh, who was already treated as the incarnation of the sun, the god who had descended on earth.

Thanks to Al Razaz’s quick response, the insults faced with a mind and body that had not fully recovered immediately cut off his patience.

El Cid sensed this and raised his voice.

[Ha ha ha ha ha! Did you open the lid properly? They are nomads, they are nabals, and they will come after you first and try to kill you!]

‘What?!’

As if to prove those words, the earth began to shake.

…Kugugugugugugugung…

It’s different from an earthquake.

It is a sign that only powerful people above a certain level can feel, as if an extremely large and powerful being is approaching.

〈Black Pharaoh〉 It was the main body of Nephren Ka.

He stood up to clear up the insult he received from Leon!

“It looks like you got on his nerves.”

Al Razaz said in a puzzled voice.

I don’t know how fast it moves, but if it comes to where Leon is staying, Amar is dangerous. If I were to judge it as the head of the Bedouin tribe and not as a warrior, I should have gotten Leon out of this village as quickly as possible, even if it was just one minute.

But Al Razaz knew the information he brought and what he had done for the nomads. I couldn’t abandon my benefactor like that.

“Al Razaz.”

Leon said as if he could read his agony.

“From now on, I will lure him. In the meantime, evacuate Amar! And as I said before, I ask for your solidarity with the Holy Church and the Guild Beast People.”

“…Can you survive until we finish preparing?”

“of course.”

A pair of wings rose like a pillar of fire behind Leon, who smiled with a confident face.

〈Icarus Wing〉.

Wings that challenge the sun.

Its mobility was sufficient to engage in a dogfight with the Drake encountered in the Titan Mountains. I’m not sure what the movement speed of Nephren Car is, but considering the slow pace of area expansion so far, it doesn’t seem to be a big problem.

‘More than anything, a crisis is an opportunity. He won’t be able to concentrate on the hunt while he’s chasing me, and we can lure him to a point that gives us an advantage. ‘Being chased doesn’t necessarily mean you’re at a disadvantage.’

[But don’t let down your guard. Even in an imperfect state, he can use any number of techniques to deceive the eyes of the Transcendent Goddess.]

It was in the same context that he could not be identified using the Holy Sword’s quest ability. If you use powers such as jumping through space or manipulating cause and effect, it is fatal regardless of flight speed.

After gathering his mind and body once again, Leon flew up.

The sky of the great desert.

Beyond the sun, which was gradually falling to the west, I could see a pitch black darkness that was completely different from the darkness of the night.

“…he’s a guy.”

El Cid had nothing to say.

His instincts caught on.

That darkness is the essence of Nephren Ka ‘Black Pharaoh’ and the form of evil lurking within it.

At present, the gap is more than 50 kilometers.

Considering its subsonic flight speed, it was a distance that even Drake could easily outrun. Nevertheless, Leon didn’t dare to relax and immediately began to accelerate.

Kwaaaaaa――!!

Leon’s body was launched in the opposite direction of Nephren Car.

Then, darkness spread like ink from the sky as if following behind. The Transcendent, who had been stabbed in the eye by a mortal, was spouting out his anger.

That was the beginning.

From the skies of Amar, light and darkness began a chase.
