The Failed Swordsman Who Became the Strongest After Spamming the 100 Million Years Button

68. Bounty Head and Awakening [11]

The black sword that suddenly appeared in front of me.

The moment I gripped it with my right hand.

「……!?」

I instinctively understood.

That this power goes far beyond the level I am right now.

(Heavy…)

It’s not physical weight – the overwhelming『density of power』is what leads to the sensuous weight.

This darkness-like black sword was a violent, overwhelming mass of power.

And then,

「Za… Zahahahaha! Amazing, what a shine! As expected, my eyes did not deceive me! I’ve never seen this kind of sparkling before!」

Zack, with his gleaming eyes fixed on the black sword, began to laugh like crazy.

「Now, show me how powerful it is! -〈Blaze Lance〉!」

He fired a scorching lance, as if to test my new power.

The moment I swung my sword lightly to cut off the attack – a tremendous shock wave broke forth and cleaved the lance of flames easily.

「Wha!?」

In addition, without the slightest decrease in power, the shock wave advanced straight towards Zack.

「Buh,〈Blaze Shield〉!」

Zack widened his eyes greatly to the unexpected development, and immediately deployed a huge shield of flames.

But it shattered miserably without holding out even for a fraction of a second.

「Ga, ha…!?」

Zack’s body was engraved with a deep sword wound just from receiving the shock wave.

(What power… !?)

I was surprised at its overwhelming power.

(What… the hell… is this…?)

Suddenly, an extreme feeling of fatigue assailed my body.

Just by holding the black sword, my vitality was sucked away every second.

(I see, so this thing has a『duration』…)

With this absurd consumption rate, a drawn-out battle is impossible.

(I have to settle it right now…)

And then,

「a…Zaha, ha… To think it was to this extent…!」

Zack, who had been heavily damaged, put on a villainous smile while staggering forward.

「But not yet…! Allen, I know that is not everything to your power! More shine – show me more sparkly!」

When he thrust the large sword to the floor, more than a hundred crimson foxes were created.

「Will-o-Wisps – Blaze!」

The moment he gave the orders.

「「「KON!」」」

The will-o-wisps gathered all at once above Zack’s head – forming a huge mass of flames, which looked like a small sun.

「Zahahahahaha! Let’s settle this soon! Sparkly gem, Allen Rodore!」

「-Aa, let’s settle this.」

Quite some time has lapsed since I started fighting with Zack.

If I don’t end this fight soon, Ria might fall into more danger.

And in the first place – my body is unlikely to endure the consumption rate of the black sword.

「Now, show me if you can overcome this attack!」

With all his might, he swung down the large sword that he had raised high above his head..

「-〈Blaze Flare〉!」

A huge, sun-like, mass of flames was fired towards me with tremendous force.

Towards the scorching conflagration which threatened to destroy this entire room, I unleashed an attack with all my might.

「Sixth Sword – Dark Roar!」

At that moment,

The darkness that overflowed from the black sword engulfed Dark Roar. And a giant black slash flew across the space.

「HAAAAAAAAAAAA!」

「UOOOOOOHHHHHHH!」

Darkness and Sun clashed violently. And the jet-black darkness swallowed everything.

「Nu- Nuo!?」

The black Dark Roar that still boasts an immense force,

「Za, Zahahahaha! Magnificent – you sparkly gem!」

Swallowed Zack and continued to destroy half of this huge laboratory.

「Haa haa… It’s over…」

The black sword, which had finished its role, disappeared silently without a sound.

I, who had exhausted all my strength on that last attack, took a very deep breath and,

「…It hurts!?」

A dull pain ran through the palms of both hands.

When I looked at it, the skin of my palm was torn up, and blood was oozing out slightly.

Perhaps, I couldn’t stand the shock of the black Dark Roar.

After all, that black sword seems to be too big of a power for me right now.

After defeating Zack,

「Wait for me… I’m coming, Ria… !」

I dragged my heavy body to the basement of the laboratory.

■

Thor, who succeeded in making a copy of Leia as she expected,

「You… monster…」

She fell down as though crumbling.

Next to her, lied the unresponsive copy of Leia.

「Fumu, you were more troublesome than I expected…」

The unscathed Leia clapped her hand and inhaled.

「〈Mimic Art〉- is a versatile and formidable ability, but the performance of the『copy』is a little insufficient. I’ll say it’s about 60 to 70 percent of the original specs…」

Then Leia, who ended the battle uneventfully,

「Well, let’s hurry ahead.」

She ran to the back of the laboratory, pursuing after Allen and Rose.

After a while, she came into a large, empty room.

There were a large number of fallen swordsmen and a huge sakura tree that was about to wither.

And, there was the figure of Rose and three enhanced swordsmen who were about to reach the conclusion of the fight.

「UGAAAAAAAAAAAAA」

「Sakura Blossom One-Sword Style Secret Technique – Mirrored Sakura Slash!」

In that juncture – the two attacks met, and the last sakura petal fell.

「Ga-ha…!?」

「Shit… Even with spirit pills…」

「We can’t win…!?」

As the three enhanced swordsmen collapsed, Rose stood firmly.

「Haa haa… I won…」

The huge sakura tree disappeared into particles, and the scarlet sword disappeared along with it.

Rose defeated all the enemies at the last second of〈Winter Sakura〉’s duration.

Strong dizziness and tremendous fatigue struck her.

Her vision shook greatly, and her sense of balance became greatly unbalanced.

「Eh…?」

When Rose’s body fell straight to the side as is,

「Are you all right?」

Leia gently supported her right away.

「Se-Sensei… Yes, no problem.」

「I see, glad to hear that. However, to take care of this many enhanced swordsmen… You’ve become really strong…」

When Leia whispered,

「Rather than that, we have to quickly get to Allen! Zack is incredibly strong. He can never win alone…!」

Rose, who knew of Zack’s strength, strongly appealed.

「That’s right, let’s hurry ahead.」

Then Leia lent her shoulder to Rose and started moving at high speed.

They ran along the winding corridor and came into a large room with bright lighting.

There, they witnessed an unbelievable spectacle.

「「Wha!?」」

A huge mass of flames resembling the sun was devoured by darkness.

The attack that Allen unleashed was beyond the boundaries of the norm.

Not only swallowing the sun, but also destroyed half the laboratory with a thunderous roar.

「「……」」

In front of the『overwhelming destruction』that transcended human limits, Leia and Rose gulped involuntarily.

And Leia, who quickly understood the current situation, had her gaze glued to Allen’s black sword.

(N-No doubt… That black sword is that guy’s personal weapon…)

Cold sweat flowed down her back.

(If that guy is controlling Allen’s body… It cannot be undone…)

The timing window of『Initial Stiffness』has already passed.

(Allen grew at a frightening rate and has become much stronger than before. Against that guy who controls Allen’s body… Can I hold him back on my own…!?)

What crossed her mind was her two comrades who supported the golden age of Thousand Blade Academy.

(Damn… If only I could borrow their strength…)

It was unusual for Leia to think of such a timid thing.

That simply speaks to the volume of fear she holds towards the spirit core that slumbers within Allen.

After that,

「Are you…『Allen』?」

Leia, with her resolve prepared, asked Allen.

「Se-Sensei! And Rose too! I’m so glad that you both are safe!」

Allen turned to them with a carefree, gentle smile on his face.

「Fuu… Aa, you look to be safe, too.」

Leia breathed a sigh of relief.

And immediately, asked about the black sword.

「By the way, about that black sword, did you really manifest your soul dress?」

「I think it’s probably『a portion』of the soul dress… It’s going to take a long time to manifest a proper soul dress…」

Allen scratched his cheek, saying so.

「…I see, I’m rooting for you.」

Leia gave a brief reply with a complicated smile.

(…Allen Rodore, you really have a frightening talent. In such a short period of time, you grew to the point of being able to snatch power from that guy. Your mental strength is already a monster. After all, you managed to surpass the『100 Million Years button』…)

Allen, on the other hand,

(I’m sure more training is needed to manifest my soul dress, but… I grasped the『sense』of a soul dress…!)

It is by no means impossible to attain soul dress.

Just learning that fact alone, was a great harvest for him.

「Sensei, more importantly, let’s hurry. According to Zack, Ria is held just below this room.」

「Yeah, let’s hurry.」

Then Allen, who defeated the mighty opponent, Zack Bomber decisively, went with Leia and Rose to the lowest level of the laboratory.
