Overpowered Sword Chapter 124
Level up with the sword (124)
Unlike the short spear, which can be used with one hand, the long spear is assumed to be handled with both hands. eleration, braking, and changing direction were inevitable when dealing with a window that was over 2 meters long.
To be a master of a long weapon, one must be able to use not only the de but also the handle perfectly.
Cutting, stabbing, hitting, pushing, and turning are the techniques of spearmanship.
In addition, Berger was a master who was ranked at the top in both experience and skill among A-rank mercenaries.
Kaang!
As he deflected the spear aimed at the temporal region, Leon was once again impressed by his wless skill. How can you maintain such sharp attack power even though you control the spear with one arm?
It wasn’t a clumsy imitation of a monster or something.
It was the essence of the spear mastered by battlefield veteran Berger.
‘Still, it stillcks the strengthpared to using with both hands.’
As Leon divided into dozens of sums, he saw through the gaps with his well-honed concentration.
The reason why the spear was so fearsome in closebat was simple.
This was because powerful attacks could be fired one-sidedly over and over again with a short movement. Even if the swordsman blocks or avoids the window, he cannot close the distance with just one or two hits. You have to cross the diagonal line at least three or four times and at most six or seven times to be equal.
“after!”
As you take the fifth step, hold your breath.
There is one step left.
A gap where the spear and the sword finally be equal and soon the superiority and inferiority are reversed.
Because it imitated Berger’s body as well as his memories, the monster knew that it was at a disadvantage and retreated. A fatal mistake that the original Berger would not have made.
In Muhak, advancing is always faster than retreating, and if you are overwhelmed by momentum, you have to press on.
‘-Win!’
As if to take advantage of the gap, Leon dove into the guy’s left side.
A blind spot in spear skills created due to being one-armed.
If his arms were fine, he would have been dealt a fatal counter as soon as he dug in, but with one arm, it was toote.
It shes horizontally while deflecting the spear that strikester.
A checkmate that cannot be prevented or avoided.
Jump!
A head with a face simr to Berger’s popped up.
It has an unpleasant taste.
Leon frowned as he thought about that. It was the same when cutting an arm, but it waspletely different from cutting a living creature. It felt like I had cut a tough thread rather than a collection of skin, muscles, and bones.
That was actually the case.
When I looked at the headless body and copsed, I saw that the cross section of the neck was filled with spider webs.
‘Ugh, that’s terrible.’
If you have a weak stomach, you might feel nauseous.
It was a sight that could not help but be physiologically repulsive.
Then El Cid spoke.
[It looks like it can fully demonstrate the power of the original. Isn’t this good?]
‘That’s right.’
Leon also agreed with that.
It was exactly 57 sum.
Starting with cutting off his right arm, he had to fight a whopping 57 rounds until he defeated the mimic with Berger. Even though he started off with one arm cut off, he was at that level, so if you were topare hisbat power alone, there wouldn’t be much difference from the real thing.
‘If we hadpeted in perfect condition… even if we had won, we would have had to use up quite a bit of aurors.’
Because it was inside the mine, ‘Guardian’s Stigmata’ could not be used, so its consumption could have a fatal effectter.
In many ways, Leon attacking him first was the best option.
“Brother.”
“Ah, Sir Geoff.”
“Thank you for your effort. “Thanks to Brother Leon, we have ovee a great crisis.”
After seeing the guy finished, Geoff came over and politely thanked Leon for what he had done.
Seeing through the monsters mimicked by Article 14.
With that alone, it was as if Team 11 owed Leon his life. No matter how strong a person is, it is difficult to block or avoid a swording from behind.
“I really want to go back this way and get more information about the monsters that imitate people, but…”
Geoff shook his head,ughing bitterly.
“If we return like this, the expedition will almost certainly be destroyed. “Isn’t that right?”
“you’re right.”
Leon did not deny that.
The reason Teams 8 and 11 easily defeated the monsters was thanks to their ability to see through the mimicry and damage Berger’s clone, the most dangerous, by surprise.
What if Joe, who, unlike them, was unable to detect the mimicry, was attacked?
‘Almost everyone will be killed or captured. Then their fakes will appear again.’
In the worst case, the entire expedition would be transformed into monsters and escape out of the Great Mine to ughter.
Leon, thinking that far, was shocked.
.
The ferocity of it was something you couldn’t know until you experienced it yourself.
“Let’s move to the operational area as quickly as possible.”
Leon expressed his opinion first.
“If we get within range of themunication port, we can warn people who haven’t been attacked yet.”
“Couldn’t monsters pretend to be people?”
“It will be okay if we check by causing minor injuries to each other. “The monsters’ bodies were made of spider webs, so no blood flowed from any part of them.”
Geoff said yes, agreeing.
“Brother, what you said is correct. I’m in a hurry. “Every minute, every second, may be an emergency.”
“Yes, of course.”
Leon and Geoff immediately started moving.
As Groups 8 and 11 quickly left under themand of the two leaders, the bodies of those who had imitated Group 14 soon unraveled like a spider’s web and melted into the air without a trace.
Since they were not allowed to exist in this world, they disappeared as soon as they lost their power.
Kiik.
With a short scream, all the clones disappeared.
Soon, traces of a fierce battle remained at the site.
* * *
It was an hourter.
The two groups worked together to sweep away the monsters blocking the path and put their destination in front of them.
The eight members of groups 8 and 11 stopped there for a moment.
“We have arrived at Team 11’s Xeorp operating area.”
Geoff said as he held themunication device attached to his ear.
Seongcheolsaegi Knight ranked 5th.
He is one of the most senior members of the church and is the most senior member of the Holy Iron Knights who are active in Youth. He was truly a person suited to this warning, with a stronger voice than any adventurer or mercenary.
Sure enough, as soon as they heard the name Geoff, about ten people immediately responded.
“Listen carefully. Now, there are monsters wandering around inside the Great Mine that can mimic humans. When you encounter another group, check to see if they can bleed or not. Since his appearance, behavior, and fighting skills are all the same as him, it is difficult to find him using any other means…”
Leon watched him exin carefully and then looked away.
I had a feeling that not much time was left.
I have experienced this unpleasant feeling of difort that tickles the back of my neck once in the past.
‘It’s simr to what I felt in ine.’
Because foreign magicians manipte powers that are not allowed in this world, their very existence is the opposite of warriors who act on behalf of naturalw.
It’s like a kind of maic force.
Just as opposite poles stick together strongly, warriors instinctively sense the presence of an external dimension.
[In addition, since you also have the ‘Stigmata of the Watcher’, you will be able to sense their presence more sensitively. When entering the operational area, never lose focus.]
‘Yes.’
He nodded at El Cid’s advice, and in the meantime, Geoff, who had finished speaking, sent a short hand signal.
It meant moving forward.
Leon thought for a moment.
‘There might be a way to wait for other groups to arrive and expand the power, but…’ We
also had to take into ount that someone else could be captured in the meantime and the monster’s power could increase.
No one knows which side time will take.
In that case, let’s believe in our own skills rather than relying on luck.
Leon nodded once towards Geoff and sent the same hand signal to the team members standing behind him.
Jump and jump.
The eight expedition team finally entered the operational area.
“ah…!”
“Huh…”
“This?!”
And then, no matter who was first, I had to be shocked.
Leon and Geoff.
The same was true for all the rest of the group members.
“…mirror?”
Someone muttered without realizing it.
It was as he said.
As soon as they entered the operational area, what greeted the eight people was mirrors spread everywhere. The walls and pirs, as well as the floor and ceiling, had been transformed into a mirror surface without any blemishes.
The eight people looking around seemed to be dozens or hundreds, so much so that I felt dizzy.
“He must have escaped from the ‘Mirror Canyon’.”
Geoff looked around and spoke like he was chewing.
Since extradimensional organisms cannot integrate into the existing ecosystem, they modify the ces they reside to suit their own taste.
Why does ‘Mirror Canyon’ have such a name?
One of themon characteristics of the extradimensional creatures that appeared there was that they preferred environments with mirror surfaces.
Above all, even though they were mirrors, these mirrors were different from those made by humans. The light emitted by itself is strangely refracted and confuses the minds of those who look at it, breaking their concentration. Its strength is also iparably stronger than that of ss, making it difficult to destroy.
[Leon.]
El Cid called him.
[The information regarding this quest has been updated, take a look.]
‘Why all of a sudden?’
[It wasn’t sudden. Even though she is a goddess, she does not know everything about the external dimension, so if you collect clues, we willpile the information and supplement it to a helpful level.]
Leon naturally ced his hand on the hilt of his sword and summoned the information in a setting visible only to him. did.
Then a few lines of sentences appeared before his eyes.
『Lore Invader → Kaleidoscope Spider』
* Difficulty: Hard
* Scale: 1
* Object: Kaleido-Spider
8 Person in charge: Hero Leon
* Kaleidoscope, an extradimensional creature that escaped from the magic world ‘Mirror Canyon’ Kill the spiders of Kaleido Spider. Commonly known as Kalraider, when it captures prey with mirrors built into its body, it weaves duplicates of them with spider webs and recycles them as bait and power. It is also capable of moving on mirror surfaces and enjoys using illusions that use light and mirrors.
Leon quickly read the exnation and muttered.
“It was Kaleidor, the spider of the kaleidoscope.”
As a monster from an outer dimension, it had an extremely difficult ability with a name I had never heard of.
Even just one ability to create duplicates was dangerous, but there were two more. The ability to move through mirrors and genjutsu abilities. In an environment filled with mirrors like this one, its power could have increased several times, perhaps even tens of times.
Leon rolled his head, bing even more alert.
‘The next problem is how to exin this information…’
The difference between dealing with someone without knowing anything and dealing with someone with at least a passing knowledge was enormous.
An illusion that uses light and mirrors.
Ability to move to the mirror surface.
If you didn’t know either way, you had to take a hit.
‘For now, I guess it would be okay to just make a guess and ask Sir Geoff for a few words.’
It was a situation where an evil religion might have intervened.
The option of revealing his identity had already been discarded, and the only thing left was the support of Sir Geoff and other Holy Iron Knights.
Aftering to a conclusion, Leon opened his mouth.
No, to be exact, it was the moment I was about to open it.
Kuguguguguguguguguggung――!!
Is it coincidence or inevitable?
As Irexana and Bishop Cordia shed, the shock wave swept across a radius of several kilometers.
The foundation of the mine, which was several times heavier and harder than ordinarynd, trembled and dozens of shafts shook as if an earthquake had urred. The ce where Leon and his group were staying was no exception.
“Ugh!?”
“Earthquake? “An earthquake in this situation?!”
“That can’t be possible!”
Nevertheless, not a single person fell or did anything.
As an A rank, he bnced on his two feet and someone used magic and spirits to stabilize his body to maintain his stance.
Leon also used to keep his center of gravity on the ground.
I swallow the words that rose up in my throat.
In the current situation, you probably won’t be able to hear it well anyway.
‘Cardinal…is it?’
Only Leon, who had mastered the wave echo method, could feel it.
This terrifying shock is artificial. It is said that the owners of absurd power shed head-on and the aftermath was only slightly felt. And in the expedition, there was no one in particr that came to mind other than Irexana.
If so, I looked at the ceiling with an unanswered thought as to who would be fighting against him.
“huh?”
It was a coincidence.
Leon raised his head without thinking and saw ‘it’ in his eyes.
mirror surface of the ceiling.
There was a spider looking down at them from inside the mirror cracked by the shock wave. A monster from an outer dimension with eight pairs of shing eyes, murderous teeth, and a pointed tail.
“We’re up! There’s a monster on the ceiling!”
He shouts loudly twice and pulls out the holy sword.
Thanks to his Aura, his voice cut through the loud noise and made the seven people look up.
Eight pairs and eight pairs.
The number of eyeballs was the same, but the number of heads was different.
Kalraider, who was hiding in the ceiling mirror, seemed to have realized that his location had been revealed through eye contact, and roared fiercely.
Kieeeeeeeek――!!
A kaleidoscope spider from the mirror dimension.
Kalraider emitted a silver-gray sh from beyond the mirror.
