Overpowered Sword Chapter 162

Level up with swords (162)

〈Icarus Wing〉.

The speed and sustaining power of the golden wings emanating from Leon’s back were at a terrifying level. Even the airship that I had ridden and admired several times in the Kingdom of Jugend would have difficulty chasing Leon’s shadow, so it was impossible to catch up with him using the current civilization’s means of transportation.

Also, due to air resistance, it only moves at a slightly slower speed than sound, but it could have gone faster than that.

It’s literally lightning!

The mobility that can overcome even the sound of thunder is difficult for even an Auror Master to capture. Even Al Razaz wouldn’t dare guarantee success if he was told to catch Leon outside of the sword’s range.

If you’re Barg, who has become a master of the extreme martial art , other masters probably won’t be any different.

however.

“There’s no such thing as crazy distance!?”

Leon ended up swearing at the presence that was constantly following him from behind.

The darkness approaching, turning the twilight black, is targeting him. Only the hatred and anger burning within the darkness, so distorted that even the shape is unrecognizable, proves the existence of the ‘bastard’.

〈Black Pharaoh〉 is coming.

The traitor who buried the ancient civilization along with its kingdom, the king of a ruined nation who was exiled from this world for eternity.

“I don’t think it was this fast from the beginning…!”

Following his intuition, he made the right choice to escape Amarr as quickly as possible and head to the empty wasteland.

If we had moved just one minute late, Nephren Ka would have been on the path to wiping out Amar. Al Razaz could intercept him for a moment, but there was no chance he could kill him alone. Thanks to the quick decision, the Sword Master and tens of thousands of casualties were avoided.

However, this approach speed was completely unexpected.

[No, it’s as you think.]

El Cid said.

[It’s getting faster. Your speed was a little faster just an hour ago, but now it’s on par. After an hour, that guy will get faster, right?]

“Why?”

[It must be because of the sun.]

It was indeed a clear answer.

Nephren Ka ‘Black Pharaoh’ was revered as the incarnation of the sun even during his lifetime. If he had not been corrupted by foreign laws, etc., he would have been worshiped on an equal footing with God and would have held in his hands all the wealth and glory of the world.

However, he fell and in return was not only deprived of all blessings, but also cursed.

[The sun, which once loved him, does not allow him to walk beneath his feet, and the earth that once supported him does not even allow him to place his feet on his body.] It is the

same principle as love and hate.

The man who had held enormous blessings in his body had all of those blessings turned into curses, and his bones and flesh were eaten away. It was in the same context that the shape of the mummy, which should have remained as it was when alive, became ugly and distorted.

[Because the light is obscured by the darkness of 〈Outer Law〉 and the body is suspended from the earth, it is unable to use its full power. But after the sun sets, there is no need to fear the sun’s curse.]

“It means it gets stronger at night!”

[Correct answer.]

El Cid said in a non-playful voice.

[Relax. The real thing starts after the sun sets. If Nephrenka’s power catches your ankle even for a moment, the distance you worked so hard to gain will be shortened in an instant.]

Leon swallowed dryly at those words.

Although the durability of the Icarus Wing is excellent, it was impossible to fly for several days without resting. If I wanted to catch my breath during the chase, I had to aim for the daylight hours when its power was weakened.

For that to happen, you must run as far away as possible from the night chase.

Dusk falls.

It was an hour later.

“―Ugh!”

Leon reflexively stretched his body and grabbed his side.

There are no injuries.

Nevertheless, the chill spreading throughout my body warned me of the danger. The darkness that passed by Leon, who opened his eyes wide, stirred strangely.

snake.

For some reason, as soon as Leon saw it, he thought it was a ‘snake’. It was a monster whose shape was unclear.

[Fluid of Apophis? You brought out something dangerous from the beginning.]

El Cid also looked unusually surprised.

[It is a demonic beast that moves in the dark. It’s a monster that can move faster than light in the middle of the night, but if it were a fluid, it wouldn’t be that fast. Surround your entire body with light. If you get bitten even once, the poison spreads.]

“Okay!”

At the same time, daylight burst out as if covering Leon’s body.

Aura of the sun.

The guard worn on the arm along with the holy sword El Cid amplifies its power. It was Jugendsteel No. 100 ‘Shield of One Ring’. A luxury among luxury goods that assists the owner only in terms of solar attributes.

Keeeeeeee!!

At that moment, the snake body of Apophis, which was about to attack him, retreated, screaming in the sunlight.

For Apophis, the demonic beast symbolizing night and death, the sun is a symbol of a natural enemy that he instinctively dislikes because it is the true face of the ancient god Ra. Even the malevolent sounds that do not identify friends are somewhat toned down.

however.

Whoops!

Apophis, with his fangs raised, swung his body wildly and struck the solar shield with the force of a flail.

light and darkness.

The scales are equal.

If light drives out darkness, then darkness swallows up light. Just as the darkness of midnight overwhelms the light, Apophis was also not afraid of the sun during the dark hours of the night.

“Wow!? “This damn snake?”

Leon’s body, which was flying quickly in a straight line, deviates from the orbit for a few seconds, narrowing the gap to hundreds of meters.

Only then did he fully understand the situation and break into a cold sweat.

Unlike during the day when you can fly without any hindrance, in the middle of the night you have to overcome sabotage, including that magical beast. A literal death race where one mistake can suffocate you.

‘You must not stop even for a moment!’

Leon followed his intuition and launched himself.

The pillar of fire that spewed out from behind pushed him forward, multiplying his hesitation and moving across the night sky.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

Breaking the speed of sound.

Leon tore through the wall of air resistance and turned into a comet.

The distance that had been reduced in a matter of seconds is widened again and the shot is fired to a place where no life response can be felt.

“Damn it! “This fight is too unfavorable for me!”

As you run away while avoiding all the nomadic villages, your movement path is inefficient, and having to constantly put up a shield to respond to Apophis’ attacks also expedites the consumption of your strength.

If it weren’t for the ‘Guardian’s Stigmata’, they wouldn’t have been able to last even half a day before they were caught up. This absurd chase was barely possible because it was constantly recovering thanks to the power of the sun and moon.

As a result of breaking the speed of sound, the pressure pressing down on him further increases, and it seems as if a creaking sound is coming from inside his body.

‘I can’t believe I can’t get away even though I’m doing this.’

Apophis, the demon beast summoned by Nephren Ka, casually caught up with the speed and opened its mouth. The snake blocking Leon’s eyes spewed out a dark whirlpool.

Breath of death.

Leon, who saw its power at a glance, drew his sword.

“Cut it!”

Even if you try to take a detour, you will soon be caught up, and the speed of sound is nothing to a guy moving in the dark.

I’ll somehow defeat it right here!

As Leon made up his mind, starlight erupted from his sword.

The Grand Chariot

is a magical beast that appears in mythology, even though it is a body.

In one blow, Bell himself is gone.

Therefore, we will pour all our efforts to ensure that there are no setbacks in the development of “Icarus Wing” twice. Leon, who is in the realm of

supersonic speed, uses the five-pointed rite (

連式奧義)

of the Polar Cross and slashes horizontally once again with his sword.

It is a secret sword that makes every bone throbbing even when fired from a standstill.

As the resistance to breaking the speed of sound increases, two fingers bend in opposite directions, the pressure in the body soars, and both eyes turn bright red. Even for Leon, this reaction was beyond imagination.

but.

“――Keuaaaa!!”

Leon, who roared instead of screaming and held the sword with shaky fingers, eventually completed the cross.

A cross-shaped slash that splits the night sky into four pieces!

The sword light split the whirlpool spit out by Apophis into four parts and even chopped up the writhing body of the creature. What would have been a fatal wound even if it had been inflicted with an ordinary sword, was manifested as a holy sword that was like the natural enemy of .

Apophis’ body disappeared without even a final scream.

“I did it!”

Leon broke through the thing that had been torn into four pieces and flew beyond it, returning the fingers that had been bent backwards.

The sound of bones crunching resounds horribly. The pain of putting the broken bone back together was considerable, but the joy of getting rid of Apophis was even greater.

It would have been much more difficult if Apophis had only obstructed Leon’s path from the side or rear rather than blocking him from the front.

[Disciple.]

“Huh?”

At that time, El Cid coolly expressed his sentiments.

[Is it too early to feel at ease?]

“What? Why-”

Before Leon could finish his question, the darkness of the night sky distorted into a bizarre shape.

Darkness that moves in zigzag shapes like straight lines and curves.

Leon, who immediately recognized its identity, was astonished.

“Apopis?! “I just finished it!”

[I told you, it’s a body, not a body.]

Unlike ordinary living creatures, the body of a magical beast is more like a by-product. The shell or fragments peeled off from the body and the droplets of blood come to life in a shape similar to that of the body.

The body of Apophis summoned by Nephren Ka was also such a being.

Compared to the main body Apophis, it is like a firefly in front of the moon, but it does not require a large price to summon.

In other words, even if it was destroyed, all you had to do was call it back.

[It seems that there is only one entity that can be summoned and maintained, but you may be able to summon several entities for a short period of time. Be careful.]

“Damn it!”

Just like before, it deflects the fangs of the incoming creature and escapes through the gap in the body that was trying to surround him in all directions.

Even though I wrote “The Polar Cross,” it doesn’t mean much!

After all, dealing with Nephren Ka alone was suicidal.

That wasn’t all.

As Apophis’s body was evicted, his evaluation of Leon seemed to have increased, and I noticed darkness like a tsunami flooding over the horizon.

[Is this a corrupted scarab? The hero who was supposed to enrich this land has been transformed into a cheap stooge of death.]

These are scarabs that should shine beautifully in gold as they should be. The scarabs corrupted by Nephren Ka’s darkness have already lost their wisdom and power and have turned into a means of devouring life.

Apophis and Scarab.

Monsters that can lay waste to an entire territory in a matter of minutes are running after Leon.

‘I don’t know how many days I can last like this…!’

El Cid said as if encouraging him.

[Still, I guess I can’t use Anubis or Sphinx levels. It’s a blessing in disguise. Even so, the recovery speed is too fast? Was there something we missed?]

“Think about it! “I can’t afford that!”

[Ah, such a poor disciple to pass on the work to the master he should serve and look up to.]

Avoid Apophis’ attack and increase altitude by burning the scarabs rising from the ground with both wings.

Up and down, front and back, left and right.

〈Icarus Wing〉 runs wild as if testing its own limits.

While Leon was concentrating on the aerial battle, El Cid found the correct answer without difficulty. It was a question that had been left as a question before, as if there had been no clues.

[…It really sucked your intelligence!]

“What!?”

[Do you remember how I said it was strange that the area had turned into a desert around the time it was attacked by magic bandits?]

“Yes! Oh no way!?”

[That’s exactly the theory. A historic site that we don’t even know who built. They must have used those relics to gain intelligence and use it to revive Nephren Ka. Otherwise, even if I ate all the nomads, I wouldn’t have been able to recover my strength like this.]

Leon’s eyes widened at the shocking truth.

According to what he said, it means that the evil church had been planning the resurrection of Nephren Ka for over a hundred years or more.

Although 10 years is the basis for a grand plan, building in 100-year increments is not a plan but the realm of madness. Even if just one small variable intervenes, it is bound to lead to a breakdown.

“Why on earth are those bastards so sad that they are making such a fuss!”

Leon, who was sick of the evil intentions of the evil cult, gritted his teeth.

In a hundred years, even old grudges would have been weathered away.

However, the evil cult proceeded with its plan without any hesitation and brought about a disaster-like being.

[I said it once. Don’t try to understand.]

El Cid said in a solemn voice.

[What will change if we talk about it? If you forgive and look down on them, will they even repent? Will these people who have cursed the world for hundreds and thousands of years ever change their minds?]

I don’t understand. It is unacceptable.

That is why it is called outside.

Even the Holy Church does not mention mercy and forgiveness because it must be treated as an exception in any case.

[Survive and overthrow him. That is your role, disciple.]

“Ha, that goes without saying.”

Leon smiled fiercely under the shadow of the “Icarus Wing” as he drove the holy sword into the head of Apophis, who blocked his path again.

If it’s this level of difficulty, I’ll endure it as much as I can.

Beast King Varg.

Saint Ellahan.

Tyrant Al Razaz.

To this day, all he has to do is play hide and seek between death and death until what he has built up sees the light of day.

“―Come and see!”

Waves of scarabs rising from the ground.

The fangs of Apophis attack from the night sky.

Receiving all of that with light like the sun, Leon once again accelerated rapidly and pierced the darkness.

* * *

At the same time, Ellahan looked up at the sky.

She was left behind in Nuwas City to command the Holy Church’s contingent unit along with the guild.

Seven castle knights.

It is unfortunate that we were not able to mobilize the cardinals, but we were able to gather as much power as we could within the time limit.

It was right then.

The small seongcheolsae that hung on her waist shone.

“…Goddess?”

It was a ‘revelation’.
