Overpowered Sword Chapter 49

Level up with swords (49)

“Auror attributes are important. It’s not just important, it’s very important. Aura is a power created by filtering the user’s body. So, the nature of that power is like revealing the essence of the user.”

“The essence….”

“Some people said it was life itself. What you were born with, what your goals were, what you experienced, and even your mindset about the past, present, and future. “It is never decided by luck or bad luck.”

Karen’s eyes sank deeply.

“Even if we face the same situation, some people fight, some hide, and some run away. However, we should not distinguish between good and evil based on their attributes. “You know that much, right?”

“huh.”

This is something I heard from El Cid once.

There are two sides to all phenomena, so there are many cases where they cannot be simply divided into a dichotomy of good and evil. Just as when the light disappears you cannot see, but when the darkness disappears you cannot close your eyes.

Leon knew well.

There is no precedent for his Auror attribute ‘Sun’ being corrupted as well. Even if one pursues justice, if that ideology strays from the path, it can quickly degenerate into self-righteousness. So El Cid scolded him loudly every time he tried to be swayed by the power of the Aurors.

“Training as an Auror means making its essence more pure and powerful. Depending on what the attribute is, the training can be easy or difficult.”

As an example, the property ‘fire’ exists.

Perhaps because humans burn shorter lives than other races, there were many Auror users who were born with the fire attribute. Also, just because it was common didn’t mean it was weak.

Fire is a symbol of destruction and also a symbol of rebirth. In other words, it means that there is a variety of room for interpretation.

“The training method for fire attributes is simple. Breaking something, fighting with someone, or overworking yourself. “Most actions lead to refining the fire aura.”

Fire destroys something.

Fire hurts someone.

Fire burns itself.

Basically, it had many attributes that were consistent with martial arts. Leon, who remembered the commonality and was convinced, opened his mouth.

“How did you train Karen?”

“me?”

She closed her eyes as if remembering something at those words.

“Hmm… in my case, the mission itself was training. I didn’t like it, but ‘Shadow’ and Assassin were very compatible. “It’s also the reason I was able to rise to the level of top assassin.”

It was definitely as he said.

Since time immemorial, assassins have often been compared to shadows. This was because the parts that appeared without a trace behind the back or did not appear in front of the light were consistent in many ways.

If Karen had been born into an ordinary family, it would have taken several times longer to reach the level she is now.

‘Of course, that birth cannot be called a blessing.’

Leon had to feel bitter inside.

It was a very sad story that he was able to utilize his talent because he grew up in an unfortunate and miserable environment.

Still, he tried not to feel pity.

For her, who had overcome adversity on her own, poor sympathy was no different from an insult.

“Even so, is it ‘the sun’?…”

Karen, who had no way of knowing his true intentions, was worried.

Shadow is also an attribute that is within the top ten in terms of rarity, but it cannot be compared to the sun.

It is one of the attributes that symbolizes the goddess, and is an attribute that has been expressed by warriors of all time from generation to generation. It was famous not only for its power, but also for its versatility and its numerous uses, all of which were powerful.

“After all, it’s a bit different from the fire attribute, right? Or maybe it’s closer to the properties of light.”

“They both seem to have quite a bit in common.”

Leon regretted it for a moment.

If I had listened to El Cid in advance, I would have been able to learn one or two training methods. He was the one who could be said to be an ancestral warrior and the strongest with solar attributes.

When you think of the sun, there are several characteristics that come to mind.

Lighting up the whole world or removing darkness. The constant burning was one of them.

“It shines brightly…”

Leon muttered as he stopped thinking at that point.

“oh? “Did something come to mind?”

“wait for a sec.”

Leon sat down and concentrated his mind. Perhaps because he had been stimulated for a long time from the sparring just before, the aura inside his body was boiling hot and flowing.

It is like magma flowing beneath the surface.

Use your mental power to pull in a little bit of the flow and gather it with the feeling that you are concentrating it on your fingertips.

‘I liked it, so I didn’t have any problems collecting it.’

The key was to radiate it out of the body.

Leon felt his fingers getting hot, as if they would burn at any moment, and wondered how to handle this power.

sun.

As you recall that image, it manifests itself outside the body.

“Oh oh?”

Karen, who was watching him from the side, exclaimed in admiration.

This was because a small bead of light appeared at the tip of Leon’s index finger.

Light sphere.

It was shaped like a bead of light. I don’t yet feel the power to call it a typification of an Auror. It’s just emitting light. It is not an that tears through steel with one swing.

“Tsk.”

Cold sweat dripped from Leon’s forehead.

It was a more difficult task than imagined.

The basics of typification that control aurors from outside the body. It was great that he succeeded on his first try, but Leon, who didn’t know that, had no choice but to grind it out.

‘Just this much…!’

The mental power of a superhuman shines through.

As the scattered beads of light came together more clearly, a small amount of physical power that was not there before appeared. It was the result of making up for lack of skill with mental power.

But that temporary measure could not last long.

Pop!

The sphere of light that appeared at my fingertips burst like a bubble.

At the same time, Leon lost concentration and went limp.

“omg…! Huh…!”

It was unknown when El Cid’s power would be borrowed. After just this attempt, I felt deeply how high the level of typification of Aurors was.

Fortunately, because I had experience using typography, I was able to bring out the light, albeit imperfectly. If I had started without knowing anything, I would have had a hard time recovering all the aura that had been spilled into the air by now.

“Wow, that’s amazing?”

Unlike Leon, who was not satisfied, Karen was purely surprised.

“I never thought I would succeed on the first try.”

“I thought I had failed, but this is success?”

“of course.”

The basis of aura typing is to control the aura that flows out of the body in the same way as the aura that flows out of the body.

In that sense, Leon’s ‘Light’ was successful.

Karen’s keen senses could sense the power contained within, even if it was just a light. Moreover, although it was only a few tens of seconds, it was maintained in that state.

“ doesn’t make much of a difference. “It will be complete if it can be used more widely and more reliably.”

“Broader and more stable.”

As Leon struggled with those words, Karen opened her mouth with the intention of teaching him a little more.

“In my case, it feels like it recognizes the flow of aura like a blood vessel and draws it out of the body. consumes a lot of power, so stable circulation is important. “If it’s based on a one-time image, it’s too much of a gamble.”

“You have a strong gambling instinct?”

“That’s…”

Karen was just about to explain.

“It is powerful, but it cannot be used for a long time. “If it’s a fire attribute, the , which has the image of an explosion, is a good example.”

“Bishop.”

Cesare, who had just finished his weekly patrol, hung his street clothes on a long hanger and continued talking.

“In such cases, it has its own advantages, but it also lacks versatility to respond to various situations.”

“So you’re saying that the persistent is the best?”

“no.”

Cesare denied that statement with a firm voice.

In battle, the best and the worst always coexist. When the best hand is overturned, it becomes the worst. The persistent certainly allows combat to be performed reliably, but it is difficult to demonstrate its destructive power when a single blow is needed.

On the contrary, the single-shot was powerful when deciding the winner with a single blow or during a surprise attack, but its flaw was that it had no follow-up.

“If possible, it is better to learn both. It is based on a state of continuity and provides one-time power when absolutely necessary. “I also learned that way at Seongcheolswae.”

Leon immediately asked a question.

“The bishop’s attribute was ‘the moon,’ right?”

“yes.”

“If you don’t mind, may I ask what image you used to complete ?”

Karen was startled by those words and waved her hands.

As if he didn’t have the courage to shout loudly in front of Cesare, he sends all kinds of hand signals from an angle that only Leon can see.

Unfortunately, the signal was never transmitted.

“Yes, it’s okay.”

Cesare agreed with a smile, but the question he asked was extremely rude. For Auror users, the image of was the core of its technology and combat method.

Of course, there were cases where it didn’t matter much even if everything was known, but if a special method was used, the advantage could be lost altogether. It was the kind of secret you would never share unless you were someone you could trust with your life.

“My is a technology based on the image of the moon.”

“What is the state of the moon?”

“That’s right. If you use a little power, it’s a crescent moon. If you use a lot of power, it’s a half moon. If you give it your all, it’s a full moon. In addition, there are transformations such as the old moon and lunar eclipse.”

“Five things each…!”

Leon looked at him with renewed admiration.

Seongcheolseo Knights.

He is a talented person who once belonged to the strongest military group on the continent. Karen was also surprised by the contents, so she quietly took a few steps back and measured the angle from which she could escape. This was because I instinctively understood the difference in power between him and myself.

‘ah.’

At that time, something occurred to Leon.

Unlike the moon, which waxes and wanes as each day passes, the shape of the sun is constant. Therefore, it was not possible to build an image in the same way as Cesare.

But Eclipse is possible.

‘If you understand the image of a solar eclipse as an accumulation of power…’

The image of continuity was actually not difficult.

The sun, which is always burning brightly, is in itself continuous, so it was more problematic to coexist with the one-time thing.

That was solved with a few words of advice from Cesare.

“You have achieved enlightenment.”

“…yes.”

Leon responded with a greatly brightened complexion. I thought something was lacking with just the orb of light, but it felt like what was lacking was completely filled.

If you practice with this sense again, you will gain something.

“Congratulations.”

“congratulations.”

“thank you. Bishop Karen.”

After thanking the two people once again for their generous advice, Leon leaned back against the backrest with a somewhat relaxed expression.

Did I become impatient without knowing it?

The realization that he had taken a step forward reassured him.

“Hehe, I still can’t believe it. I, who was hiding as an assassin until a month ago, am now the warrior’s colleague and teacher? “It is.”

Leon chuckled after hearing Karen’s scolding.

“I’m sorry, but not teacher.”

“Yes? why?”

“Someone is occupying that role.”

Leon said while tapping the sword he placed down next to him.

I haven’t told anyone yet that the spirit of Holy King Rodrik resides in El Cid. If it was revealed, Cesare would come to this sword every day and recite a prayer, and I felt confident that things would escalate in many ways.

Karen, who didn’t know that, tilted her head for a moment, but then gave up and just pouted her lips.

“Chi, then, will you be satisfied with the position of colleague? “If it’s a warrior’s first companion, it will sell well even if you just write an autobiography later.”

“Haha…”

It was an explicit remark, but Leon didn’t frown at it. It was because I knew what Karen really wanted. Honor that is enough to cover up one’s unfortunate past.

It was she who fell for the idea that she could become a warrior’s companion rather than an assassin who kills people for money.

‘I guess that’s why I took on a dual identity as an adventurer. ‘I want to elevate my life as a Karen, not as an assassin.’

She hates her past.

From an unloved childhood to a boyhood filled with blood and death to an adolescence that became infamous in the darkness.

That was the reason why I was obsessed with fame, not money.

Because I want to make my life more beautiful. Because he wanted to prove that his life was not miserable.

We became hungry for praise and recognition from others.

‘So you can trust it.’

Is there anything more honorable than adventure with a warrior? To Karen, Leon was a person more important than her own life.

“Hero.”

Is it because there are only three people?

Cesare used that title as if it were natural.

“I brought you the message the saint asked for.”

“The saint?”

Leon asked back with a surprised face.

I heard that he delivered news, but I didn’t expect him to talk to me like this.

Even though we haven’t even seen each other yet.

“yes. After hearing about the hero’s activities, he was so excited that the brothers in the headquarters had a hard time stopping him from coming to see him right away. “Well, it’s not much different from usual, so I don’t think you were questioned about the reason.”

“…You are a lively person.”

“Indeed, yes.”

Cesare laughed with an embarrassed expression.

“The succession ceremony would be in full swing by now. I never thought you’d say you’d come out in the middle of it.”

“Is this a succession ceremony?”

“yes. It is the final gateway to being recognized as a saint. Well, looking at his qualifications, it seems like he has already passed.”

Leon was a little surprised by those words.

Cesare was the most calm and serious person he had ever seen, and now he was certain without a single doubt. Is it because their faith is that deep? Unless it is.

‘Apart from being a tomboy, the saintess must be really outstanding.’

I don’t know how difficult and amazing the succession ceremony is.

However, the Holy Order was famous for being the strictest on its members, so the saint’s test could not have been simple.

For Leon, it was only a pleasure in the end. It meant that the saint, who could be said to be his future companion, was so excellent. Cesare, whether or not he knew her true intentions, relayed the saint’s words.

“He said, ‘I’ll come see you as soon as possible.’”

Why?

At that moment, the back of Leon’s neck shivered.

‘what?’

It was a premonition of trouble.
