Overpowered Sword Chapter 218

Level up with the sword (218)

Secret passage.

Its existence was mentioned as a joke at commoners’ drinking parties and was one of the subjects that always appeared in old stories. It can be said that it is a very common development in which the protagonist in crisis uses a secret passage to avoid death and pledges revenge in the future.

Some say the secret passage is just a fictional story.

There is no way that the famous and great nobles would use a passage that even they themselves can shake in cubic form.

It’s clear that they will use an artifact or something to escape.

‘so?’

[That’s stupid. Is there any other tribe that is as cunning and obsessed with their own lives as the nobles? These are the people who use artifacts as they are and dig up secret passages in several ways.]

El Cid snorted.

[A cunning rabbit digs three burrows, right? It’s just as they said.]

There was no difference 300 years ago or now. Most nobles with considerable history and power would have at least three or four secret passages in their mansions.

There was nothing more to say if it was royalty or imperial family.

Emergency escape routes were stretched out like spider webs in preparation for unexpected assassinations or rebellion attacks. It was natural to get lost if you didn’t familiarize yourself with the map in advance.

Rhian Calem Gladius von Clyde in his youth also escaped from Karelum through a secret passage inside the imperial palace.

―What I am going to teach you from now on is a secret that only the direct descendants of the Clyde Imperial Family can pass down.

Nex was unknown because he was an illegitimate child.

It was only after he was crowned as emperor that he learned the inside story of how Lian escaped from the imperial palace.

There are as many as 36 secret passages in the ecliptic Karelum.

Among them, there were only two secret passages leading to the White Palace, and there were doors through which one could not pass without the blood of a direct blood relative of the imperial family. Because it is coated with several types of special metals, it is said to be close to impossible to destroy with force.

After explaining that, Lian added a few words.

―If you take my blood, you can open that door, but you must never rush into the White Palace first.

‘why?’

―If it had been right after I escaped, it would have been different. If it were now, there is a high possibility that the would know of the existence of the secret passage. If they had gotten into the hands of the evil cult, they might have figured out a way to destroy or deceive that door.

The most dangerous thing of all was what happened next.

The moment the White Palace’s security barrier recognizes Leon and his group as intruders, more than a hundred magic circles are activated to restrain them.

If you were an Auror Master, it would not reach the level of incapacitation, but would only be enough to moderately suppress your power. Taking on such a penalty in the White Palace, where Necator and many other “exorcists” would be waiting, would have been like committing several defeats.

―The Imperial Guard is also dangerous. Although they are only at a fairly strong level outside the White Palace, the Royal Guard Knights who have sworn absolute loyalty to the White Palace’s barrier can exert enormous power within the palace.

‘We must avoid the battle at White Palace at all costs.’

-If you can, that would be the best.

It was a shame that he couldn’t hit the right away, but he couldn’t throw the head into the dragon’s mouth.

So Leon and his group chose another route as the next best option.

That was the passage that led to the fountain in the square not far from the White Palace.

“This passage is really amazing.”

After knocking on the wall of the passage a few times, Karen was once again amazed.

“It’s not like I blocked the sound with magic, but the vibrations and noise inside the passage are prevented from escaping through the walls. “Even with my skills, it would be difficult to find this outside, right?”

“Is it that much?”

“huh. It looks like a special technique was used. The blacksmiths of Jugend might have a different way to find it, but…”

The assessment made by the Assassin Master, who can be said to be the pinnacle of infiltration and infiltration, would be more accurate than anyone else in this place. Leon might not have even been able to find the entrance to this secret passage if he hadn’t listened to Lian’s detailed explanation.

‘…It looks like we’re having a good fight at the top.’

Although the vibrations inside the passage could not escape, the ones coming from outside seemed to be an exception. The ground shakes as if there is an earthquake, sending waves of power.

The scale was enough to scare even the masters, making them feel the intensity of the fight going on at the epicenter.

You left behind Irexana and Adela, and even Ellahan, but you can’t overwhelm the enemy?

Apparently, the power of the Hwangdo was beyond imagination.

“Hero?”

Cardinal Anna opened her mouth as she approached him.

“This is a report from Sister Angela, who was leading the way. “I don’t have any circumstances to base it on, but I have a suspicious feeling.”

“Are you saying…?”

“That’s the way it is.”

The martial arts sense that surpassed a certain level was like a supernatural power.

For those who have overcome countless crises and refined their five senses and skills, sense was a signal.

An instinctive warning that ‘a crisis is coming’.

Also, if you are someone with an excellent ability to sense things like Angela, your intuition accuracy rate increases several times.

“Change formation. “Cardinal Dominic and I will take the lead, and the rear row members will advance slowly and form a tight formation.”

“I will follow.”

Cardinal Anna followed Leon’s instructions without saying a word.

The same was true for the Seongcheolsae Knights.

All that was reflected in the eyes shining through the faceplate of the helmet was the respect and faith for the warrior Leon. Not a single non-believer dared to question his judgment.

In an instant, the Seongcheolsaegi Knights, who had reorganized themselves into eight columns, began walking in perfect rhythm.

Chuck chuck chuck chuck.

About 60 people are walking, but there is only one sound of footsteps.

It was proof that even the team competition was well-skilled.

“Sister Angela.”

“….”

The face I hadn’t seen in a long time still nodded silently.

Angela, who has the aura attribute of ‘vibration’, can recognize the presence of even a single needle falling from tens of meters away.

There was no one more qualified as a scout than her.

Come to think of it, wasn’t the technology shown by Cardinal Adela also called ‘super vibration’? I felt a strange sense of déjà vu because the names were similar and the technology used was similar.

Leon must have muttered that out of his mouth without realizing it,

“Oh, you didn’t know? Sister Angela is a disciple whom Cardinal Adela personally took and taught.”

Cardinal Anna answered with a look as if he didn’t know why.

If that were to be said, it could be explained that Angela and Cardinal Adela had a lot in common.

Leon, who understood the relationship between the two, took a step forward.

Beyond the point where Angela stops.

To look into places reported as ‘suspicious’.

Creepy.

It was that moment.

A high-level vibration that even the Aura Master’s senses could not detect passed through Leon’s body for an instant.

He had a hunch.

Something was activated at this moment.

“―All members in combat readiness!”

Leon’s voice echoed off the walls of the passage, and before it died down, the darkness writhed around his body.

The power of the abyss that devours light.

The negativity that overflowed into this world from an external dimension.

Horrible monsters began to crawl out of the ugly, filthy swamp.

“It’s a conditional activation, so I guess I was smart about it?”

Cardinal Anna glared at the monsters boiling over in front of her, dangling a staff that looked like something a shepherd would use.

“A defense technique solely for detaining intruders that can even conceal its existence until someone approaches.”

“Can you stop?”

“I won’t stop. That summoning ceremony does not open a ‘door’ to invite monsters, but rather spits out all the monsters that have accumulated in the gap between dimensions. “It will continue to pour out until the stomach is completely emptied.”

In short, it meant that everything had to be destroyed.

Without thinking any more, Leon raised his auror. As all four stigmata flashed and radiated divine glory, the darkness encroaching inside the passage took an ugly step back.

It was natural for the morale of the Seongcheolsae Knights to increase upon seeing this.

“For the Goddess!”

“In the name of the Benevolent Light!”

“Brothers! let’s go!”

About 60 people come together as one and move forward step by step while maintaining a close formation. With a majestic gait, as if a monster crawling out of the abyss could not scare them.

■■■■■■―――!!

The monster leapt out with a roar, the lower body of a scorpion and a giant swinging with four pairs of arms and charged at Leon.

Estimated strength is around A rank to A+ rank.

It is more powerful than an ogre and more threatening than a wyvern.

Keying.

That was all.

As Leon took a step forward and swung his sword, the body of the man, cut from left to right, slid straight down and fell over. Because it was cut so cleanly, inertia remained.

However, it was not a number that could be distinguished as just one.

Ten or more monsters jump out faster than the Scorpion Giant falls to the ground. It had a disgusting appearance without any sense of unity.

Sun Sword (太陽劍)

Crimson Eclipse (紅蓮一式)

Paying no heed to the massive attack, Leon swung the blade horizontally, spitting out strong flames.

The golden light of “Prominence” swirls throughout the passage.

Dozens of other-dimensional creatures that were running towards me without fear melt like porridge, and the view that was blocked by the monsters suddenly opens up.

but.

‘I don’t think this will work?’

As Leon watched the monsters streaming past him, he realized that he shouldn’t fight here.

Environmental conditions are too unfavorable.

Unlike the monsters freely crawling on the walls and ceilings, the party’s mobility was blocked by more than half, and the durability of the passage was not at a high level, so the masters’ attack power was also greatly reduced.

〈Prominence〉 was a force capable of distinguishing between enemies and enemies, but it could not control the radiant heat remaining in the atmosphere.

[It would have been better if only four people came in.]

‘That’s true, but considering the interior of the imperial capital, more power was needed. There was no need to insist so much on a small elite group.’

Unlike Leon, who had tremendous combat endurance thanks to his stigmata and cloak, Karen and the two cardinals had limitations.

It was better to accompany the Holy Iron Knights even if their mobility was somewhat lower than to expend all their power before even meeting the .

Leon shouted as he saw the monsters continuing to pour out.

“Let’s break through quickly! “There is no time to annihilate them!”

And as he was about to unfold “Prominence” once again, Cardinal Dominic, who walked from behind, stopped him.

“Please leave it to me this time, warrior.”

“Cardinal Dominic?”

Dominic, who looks like a desert nomad with blond hair and brown skin, naturally put his hands together.

It was right after that.

Woouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu–!!

When Dominic, surrounded by gray-white auras, stretched out his palm, a wall of auras was pushed out from his core.

It is 〈Auror Blade〉.

The wall made of auras continued to advance, crushing and crushing all monsters in its path. The speed itself wasn’t fast, but it was wide enough to fill the entire width of the passage, so the monsters had no room to dodge.

“You’re so excited, Dominic.”

Anna, who broke the head of one of the monsters with her staff, laughed.

“Are you surprised, warrior? That’s why Dominic’s nickname was ‘Castle’.”

“〈Castle〉….”

“Dominic created an Aura wall using himself as the starting point and awakened Aura Blade, which pushes away all phenomena. “The strength of the barrier is such that it will not be easily cut by the Blade of the Sword Demon.”

It wasn’t an ability that could be said to be very good in combat.

All I had to do was build a wall and push it out. However, in this situation, there was no one more capable than Dominic.

As Dominic exerted his power in earnest, the battle line, which had been pushed back unconsciously, began to advance again.

‘If things continue like this, we can break through quickly. But why…?’

Despite his great achievement, Leon felt a chill running down his spine from an unknown feeling of anxiety.

It was a ‘feel’.

Just as Angela’s senses recognized the crime prevention measures put in place by the evil cult, his intuition was also appealing. If it takes longer than this, you will suffer irreparable damage.

Concentration that has risen to its limit accelerates the speed of thinking.

It wasn’t long before I felt the time increase several times, even tens of times, and I was able to see through the true nature of my anxiety.

“All in one! “Get out of this passage!”

The cardinals were startled by Leon’s shouting and asked back.

“If you say you’re leaving, where on earth are you going?”

“no way!?”

As if to affirm that question, Leon developed “Icarus Wing.”

Hwaaaaaaa!

The monsters touched by the golden flame wings let out a terrible scream and fell to the ground, and Leon, who did not even lift an eyebrow at the scream, looked down at the holy sword in his hand.

Is this judgment correct?

No, it had to be applied correctly.

Heaven does not answer those who do not believe in themselves.

Grand Chariot

should not be held vertically.

Not even horizontally.

The width is not enough for a stab.

You must cut while drawing an exact circle. Oh’s 〈Megrez〉, which was learned for the fourth time, was performed independently.

A circular light emanated from the

Megrez

Holy Sword and exploded on the ceiling.

No explosion occurred.

“Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”

After carving a circle with a radius of over 10 meters into the ceiling, Leon leapt while explosively spraying “Icarus Wings.” No one could have predicted what happened next.

Even that acceleration was what he had expected.

Leaving even an afterimage behind for a beat, Leon’s feet rose upward and kicked the round cut ground at extremely high speed.

Wow!

The rock mass, which seemed to be at least several tons and possibly dozens of tons, rose up in its cut form.

A kick loaded with the power of 〈Icarus Wing〉 caused the previously cut ground to bounce off the ground!

It was the moment when a huge piece of solder was created in the secret passage.

“Now! “Follow the hero!”

The two cardinals and the Holy Knights leaped in unison and escaped from the underground in just a few seconds.

It was then.

“Huh…!?”

One of the castle knights who unconsciously looked down at the underground passage he had just exited was startled.

So did other people.

This was because I could clearly see something writhing inside the hole that Leon had dug. I had faced this incarnation of evil, whose scales were dark and seemed to melt into the night, once before.

“――Apophis.”

A fragment of the demonic beast controlled by Nephren Ka .

It’s completely different from back then.

It was not a fluid flutter that could easily be blocked with . Although it was at a low level, it felt divine. Leon broke into a cold sweat when he understood that.

The body of Apophis.

Because it was after the sun rose, it could not come out to the surface, but it was a being that could demonstrate its power underground without sunlight.
