Overpowered Sword Chapter 251

Level up with swords (251)

A month has passed since then.

After staying in the imperial capital of Karellum for a while, Leon and his companions moved to the gateway city as soon as they had recovered a bit. The goal of overthrowing the and the evil cult has been achieved, but if he stays there any longer, his close relationship with the God Emperor Lian will only be suspected.

Gateway city Port Roy.

The city, which suffered from measles once due to Necator’s attack, was now functioning normally.

By remembering the dead and rebuilding collapsed buildings.

No matter how long the night is, the sun will eventually rise.

Port Roy’s bustling town seemed more lively than before the attack, as if to prove the point.

“Leon.”

Karen came out from behind Leon, who was looking out the window, without any sign, and called out to him.

However, Leon looked back with an expression that was not at all surprised.

“what’s the matter?”

“Lord Grania has just left. “You’ve finished avenging your disciple. I guess you didn’t want to stay here any longer.”

“is it. Well, it’s not like he came to Port Roy because he wanted to.”

Grania, the only archmage left in Clyde, chose to return to her hometown rather than be by the new emperor’s side.

Grania’s spirit was limited in many ways, as he had no intention of further activity since the time the ‘Emperor of Light’ ascended the throne, and was betrayed by his best disciple during this war.

It was amazing to participate in the battle to conquer the Imperial Capital with the little sense of responsibility I had left and to help restore the devastated Port Roy.

‘I hope that the fact that I defeated Morse with the amulet I received from Lord Grania will at least alleviate some of that resentment.’

The person who murdered Edgar was Necator, but the person who corrupted him into the evil cult was clearly Morse. It may have stimulated the pressure from the value of the teacher’s name and the sense of inferiority that had been buried inside.

In the end, the cause and effect took a turn and came to an end where Morse ended at the hands of Leon.

[It will be difficult.]

El Cid declared.

[I’m not saying revenge is vain. This is because you realize that even if you repay the grudge, what you lost will not come back. If it were the betrayal of his best disciple, whom he thought of as his successor, he would have been so shocked that it would shake his heart to its core.]

‘No way?’

[Well, he is still an archmage who has stepped into the 8th rank. There won’t be any sudden death due to mental shock or anything like that. I wonder if that state continues for a long time.]

As mentioned before, masters are beings where the border between mind and body disappears as the mind and body become unified.

Therefore, even if you overcome your natural limitations as a living creature or receive a serious injury, if you are full of spirit and aura, it is possible to shake off the touch of the Shinigami.

However, the union of the mind and body did not only have advantages.

If physical wounds could be healed mentally, it was also possible for mental wounds to spread physically.

[There is no need for you to worry about that. You never know. I might pick up a kid or two I like in the countryside and raise disciples again. Because the fastest way to rehabilitate the sense of loss is to fill the void with something else.]

‘…I guess so.’

Leon nodded his head in agreement with his advice.

Then he spoke to Karen, who was still in the room.

“Karen.”

“huh?”

“Please bring Ellahan. “I think the injury has healed. I think it’s time to leave Port Roy.”

“okay! “Where is this next destination?”

“I’m thinking of going to Jugend first. “I have something to see there.”

Karen said she understood and sank into her shadow.

In the shadow world, where there is no air resistance or constraints on the laws of physics, her speed exceeds several times the speed of supersonic.

It will be quick to replace Ellahan somewhere in the city.

“so.”

Leon urged the horse to speak by tapping the hilt of the sword on his belt.

“Please explain until the two of you arrive. Why Youth? “Did you forget something around there?”

[There was.]

“What is it?”

[Didn’t I say this once when I finished the quest in the desert and returned to Jugend? There is a person who owed me debt while he was alive.]

“Ah!”

Leon, who finally remembered that conversation, opened his mouth.

When I think about it, what El Cid said at that time was clear

– I didn’t think it would be necessary last time, so I just left it alone, but the evil guys are moving faster than I expected. I’m going to use every means I can to screw them over.

It was a conversation I had forgotten about right after that, as things like the sparring with Irexana, who was promoted to S rank, coincided with each other.

Leon was once again taken aback and questioned El Cid.

“No, even if I say that, have I forgotten you too? “Last time, you went to Youth to mobilize that power.”

[I didn’t forget. When I arrived, I found him sleeping. Because the situation wasn’t so urgent that I had to wake up and ruin my sleeping period.]

“…Sleeping period?”

Leon was puzzled by the extremely unfamiliar words, but El Cid changed the topic without explaining further.

[The place he lives in is the ‘Out Area’, a deep place that only a few people in the Kingdom of Jugend know about.]

“What do you mean ‘Out Area’? “Wasn’t Area 0 the end?”

[In fact, it’s as if its existence has been concealed. This is what he wanted himself to do, and the Jugend royal family has been strictly observing the oath made at the time of the founding of the nation for hundreds of years.]

“Hoo.”

Leon’s eyes widened at the exciting story.

It had to be that way.

‘Who is it? If they’ve been alive for hundreds of years, they’re probably not humans, so maybe they’re elves or dwarves? There is not much chance of it being a beastman race.’

A helper who lives in a place whose existence is concealed by an oath of a more secret area than Jugend’s palace and treasure hall?

Even just looking at it, it was sure to be something amazing.

Perhaps aware of his high expectations, El Cid added a few words to the explanation he gave earlier.

[‘Out area’ is a term used only within Youth. That mindset is actually the starting point of youth. So, in one passage from the founding of the nation, it is expressed as follows.]

El Cid said.

[─Ground Zero.]

The land where everything began.

That was the name that became the cornerstone of the Kingdom of Jugend.

* * *

Meanwhile, Irexana, who had been seriously injured in a bloody fight with the ‘Predator’ in Karellum, had returned to Jugend’s 1st area.

As he was sitting at his desk as usual, looking through a mountain of documents, he suddenly felt a pain that pierced his bones throughout his body.

A mental power stronger than Mithril suppressed the groans.

Several wounds from the battle with the “Predator” that started a month ago were still bothering him.

“…Ugh, this is why fighting transcendental species is a hassle.”

Irexana smiled bitterly and examined the scratches on her spiritual body. Because I focused on recovery without even holding a hammer once, I somehow managed to get back to a level where my daily life was not affected much.

Even with the divine power of a cardinal level, it was at that level.

Will it be at least half a year before I can run as wild as before?

Irexana, who objectively diagnosed her own physical condition, let out a long sigh without realizing it.

“I feel like I was kicked off the stage and behind the curtain just as the crusade was about to begin in earnest.”

After Leon subdued the , everything he heard from Nex was also passed down to the upper echelons of the Holy Church.

I learned about not only the cardinal level, but also the senior knight level of the Holy Knights. The archbishop, the head of the evil cult, is now a member of a race whose existence is even questioned.

Evil dragon.

A member of the dragons who were supposed to protect the balance of the world became corrupted for some reason and became the leader of evil.

“What kind of negligence is this? “Even if you weren’t so immature that you could get injured by something like a ‘predator’…!”

It was a sound that, if a ‘predator’ who had been driven out to the angler island, heard it, he might grab the back of his neck and vomit blood.

Each one of them is no different from a disaster-level demonic beast, and they are a transcendental species from an outer dimension. If the ‘Predator’ had eaten part of the Revolutionary Army or the Fermat Army and expanded its strength, there was even a possibility that it would have become more dangerous than the ‘Spirit King’.

However, Irexana is blaming herself, saying that she should not have suffered any injuries after defeating the transcendental species alone.

It was right then.

“Grandmeister!”

The dwarf who opened the door roughly called Irexana.

Irexana understood the severity of the news with that expression and lightly gestured. It was a gesture to quickly get to the point.

“A priority level 1 telegram has arrived. “I think it was sent from the royal family. They told me to deliver this letter to the Grand Meister as soon as possible and to check the receipt.”

“It’s been a while since I was first level.”

“so do i! It seems like it’s been a hundred years since the last first-class telegram was delivered. “Wow, my memory is vague.”

Even the news of Jugendstil’s selection had never gone beyond level 2, so I never thought I would receive a level 1 telegram in broad daylight.

Irexana immediately opened the scroll in her hands.

And I immediately understood why it was ranked 1st in importance.

This is because from the first paragraph, there were words written that only a few people other than the royal family would know.

‘Ground Zero…! ‘He has risen?’

It was knowledge passed down to successive Grand Meisters.

Jugend was not a nation established simply because dwarves gathered together, and it was not natural that the shape of the nearby mineral veins and geographical features was extremely convenient.

Because it was a truth on an absurd scale, most people did not believe it even after hearing it, but Irexana was a blacksmith and a warrior who looked at the Grandmaster at the same time.

The moment he became a Grand Meister and set foot on ‘Ground Zero’ for the first time, he realized that all those nonsense words were true.

“Grand Meister? Can I go back now? Or is there anything left to do? “Then just say it!”

The dwarf who delivered the letter looked at him blankly.

“I don’t have any work to do right now. This can only be done when the hero returns, so if you tell each area to replace out the hero’s location—”

Irexana’s eyes widened before she could finish those words.

The dwarf, who was standing with his back to the window, did not know why.

It took an instant for the emotions fluttering in the Grand Meister’s eyes to change from surprise to joy, and from joy to calm.

“…I withdraw my message. Prepare the VIP room in Area 1 to entertain guests. “The warrior and his companions have arrived.”

“what?! “I didn’t even receive that news.”

The dwarf, who followed Irexana’s gaze and looked back, stopped shouting and lingered.

The reaction was natural.

Before I knew it, the sun had passed over the western horizon and dawn was breaking through the darkened sky. The dazzling golden light was approaching faster than the arrow fired.

Only Irexana was able to look directly at the figures wrapped in golden light from several kilometers away.

He smiled softly as he naturally put his hands together.

“Good timing, warrior.”

A pair of golden wings carries Leon and the others across the night sky. It was the power of the Icarus Wing, which was so fast that it could not even be compared to a carriage or something like that.

It was just a few minutes later.

The warrior party that crossed the horizon arrived in front of Irexana.
