Chapter 479
From a distance, he was a very ordinary person.
She is a middle-aged woman who looks ordinary enough to change her clothes right away and stand at a stall in Ogwen Market, and she will not feel any discomfort and will consider her a shop owner. Excluding the light armor and the sword worn on the waist, the fact that he didn’t even wear a helmet would attract more attention.
But on the contrary, I was able to feel what it was like to be overwhelmed by the atmosphere and momentum because of such an ordinary appearance.
Even I, who couldn’t feel the aura properly, felt the pressure of the aura she had. The semicircle that seems to have been drawn with that line may be the boundary of the sense of intimidation instinctively felt by those facing her.
Once again, I was flying over her, admiring how much Sir Ekaf was saving Auras in everyday life. Suddenly, the sword master of the Empire raised his head and met my eyes. I drew my sword.
As if to take a good look.
She leisurely walked around the battlefield as if taking a walk, even pulling out her sword was leisurely, but the movements that followed were difficult even for me to catch up with while watching from the sky.
As soon as he took a step that seemed to have moved at that speed from the beginning, he started to accelerate to maximum speed, and a halo of light shimmered around the Sword Master, who instantly closed the distance from the enemies, and then blood gushed out between the Demon Kings who couldn’t react properly.
There is no time to wonder at the enemies who fall despite clearly being out of the realm of the sword. Others live in the soul-like genre, but just keeping up with her movements, which is the hack and slash genre, was overwhelming.
It was a fact that it was impossible to refute that the classes were different, but if it was a state that could not be reached… it did not seem so.
Aside from being able to imitate those movements, all of the movements she showed were ultimately based on swordsmanship that could be imitated with a human body.
At first, it was hard to understand because it was so fast, but after watching it several times from above, I could understand it. Just as if a simple downward slash could become a lethal blow if she tried it faster and stronger than anyone else, all of her movements were like that now.
That alone is great enough… but it was far from the realization I needed right away or the state I wanted to see. To that extent, if I became proficient in the application of magical power and could further improve my physical abilities, I would be able to follow suit. It wasn’t that different from building muscle when you hit heavy weights hard.
It was really not easy to find something to learn from the massacre of civilians, but as time went on, the demon army would do something, so they chased after the sword master diligently, and an accident occurred in the formation of the demon king army.
“…!”
Even if they were only flying in the friendly camp, if they lowered their altitude excessively, there would be a check on them, so I couldn’t hear them well because I was flying a little high, but I could tell that the demon army had become noisy.
But it wasn’t that it became noisy because of fostering, it was because someone physically kicked the ground and ran. Allies around the Sword Master began to disperse at a rapid pace in a scene that seemed to have echoed if they were standing on the ground.
It was obvious what would happen, so I ordered my car to lower the altitude. At the same time, something that ran straight as if measuring a wide plain with a straight line collided with the Sword Master, creating a tremendous roar.
There were no huge dust clouds like in action cartoons or movies. For that reason, the battlefield, which had been drinking human blood for a long time, was too damp.
Thanks to this, I could clearly see the scene where the demon wearing heavy armor that felt like a huge piece of metal was swinging a huge ax at the sword master.
Even though he blocked the ax spear that was swinging with the momentum to split the ground, the Sword Master’s sword remained intact. It was a world where you couldn’t put aura in a sword, so it was clear that it was a damn good weapon.
It was around the time I jumped off the top of the car after judging that the altitude had decreased to a certain extent when the two men, who seemed to flinch while arms crossed for a moment, took action.
The emotion I felt after seeing that movement was gloomy.
It wasn’t because the workshops that came and went were so fast that I couldn’t follow them with my eyes. It was obviously fast, but it was enough to not miss it because I was watching it from a distance.
However, the level of technical perfection shown by one attack and one defense was different. The two people’s workshop was so close to perfection that I didn’t know why there was a difference even though it was the same movement.
Not only their abilities, but even their weapons are top-notch. The sword master’s sword cut the breastplate of the demons four times, but all of them were blocked, and the demon’s ax spear, which seemed to break even rocks, could not even scratch the sword of the sword master.
Half of what is seen is half of the battle, half of which is not even guessed. Just as Go players look ahead and play Go, they wield weapons instead of Go balls.
If I think about what to do if each of those attacks comes at me, there is only one conclusion.
You shouldn’t face someone like that.
till now.
– Quaang!
In the middle of a battle that seemed to last forever in a breathtaking tension, the ax spear that was passed over by the Sword Master’s sword shattered the floor roughly and devastated, creating a roar, and the battlefield moved again as if it were a signal.
I wanted to see a little more, but… It was clear that just replaying what I had already seen in this short time would limit my brain capacity, so I gave up neatly and joined my teammates and swung my sword.
There are many opponents to fight, so you should be able to test a few right now.
◈
Baselard has been assisting Kalesh for a long time and has been active as an assistant and adjutant.
He never understood the mad obsession of genius, but he tended to ignore it because he knew he could help even if he didn’t understand. I also thought that maybe I am here because I gave up understanding and silently helped.
“Hehehehe.”
But this time, it was a little difficult, so I thought ‘why’ without knowing it.
Khalesi ended up cutting off his arm.
Since the church did not participate in the war, there were no priests, but it was not a big problem because only priests could heal sickness and wounds in the world. The problem was with a piece of metal lodged in her arm.
The piece of metal that was eagerly trying to fly somewhere even at this moment thoroughly ‘killed’ her arm to the point that someone seriously thought about whether it was a curse and gave an opinion.
“With this, research can move on a new trajectory. With just this…”
Even the process of attaching a prosthetic arm instead of a severed arm was annoying and seemed like a waste of time. It gave me goosebumps just by that.
At first, I thought I was shocked by the defeat on the battlefield and the sudden appearance of variables, but it wasn’t at all. Baselard, who had prepared according to her cool and accurate instructions, had no choice but to admit it.
That she was just infatuated with the new possibilities that lay before her eyes.
“Activate it.”
“…Can you skip the verification process?”
“The theory is already certain, and the aftermath is predictable thanks to the many results that have been experienced so far. Success or failure, do you need to waste time? Activate it.”
A piece of metal containing an unknown power was tied to a barrier.
It was disheartening to be able to grab a piece of metal that big only after adding the remnants of evil spirits and divine power over the magic circle spread out in four layers, but thinking about it upside down, it meant that it was an object with that much power.
Maybe a holy relic, maybe more. Because of that, it was difficult for Baselard to calm down the excitement on one side.
That piece of metal breaks magic and consumes divine power.
Just because it’s from a dead evil spirit, eat it without covering it. And replace it with your own power.
As long as I could put that power into a magic tool and use it, the erosion brought about by the remnants of the evil spirit wouldn’t be a problem.
“let’s begin.”
At Baselad’s words, which trembled with tension and anticipation, the other wizards around were too tense and forgot to even breathe, but Khalesi just stared at the metal pieces and the magic tools placed under them.
The magic was cast, the barrier was broken, and pieces of metal and magic tools in the form of bracelets began to be connected arbitrarily.
It didn’t happen that a huge wind rose or exploded and destroyed the surroundings. That means that the power leaks out, and it is only proof that preparations are insufficient. Such immature failures have already passed through several times in the process of confining the remnants of evil spirits to magic tools.
The preparation is perfect. As Khalesi said, there are only tremendous successes and mediocre failures.
The moment he thought so, the piece of metal suddenly began to madly absorb the divine power contained in the barrier.
“Leader?!”
“The barrier isn’t broken, so let it go!”
Khalesi saw more than they did, so unlike Baselad and the other mages, who felt it was an obvious sign of anomaly, she felt a sense of elation.
His strength was growing stronger than he expected. very stable.
Now, as long as it is transferred to the magic tool…
“Success… is not far off!”
get perfect power Maybe you’ll be able to control the entire battlefield.
While he was imagining such happiness, the piece of metal that had eaten up all the holy power and debris stopped moving.
The moment everyone mistakenly thought that time had stopped in that instant of silence,
“Huh?”
Along with an unknown death, a piece of metal shone and a huge flash of light, unknown whether it came from the ground or from the sky, erased the tent and the people inside it from the world.
It looked like a flash of lightning, but there was no sound, so only a few people noticed it.
“Here… was… Huh?”
However, even if there was no sound, the result remained clear. The soldiers of the Demon King’s Army, who happened to witness the sight of only burnt ashes scattering, couldn’t accept the situation and hesitated… “Hey,
you saw it too…”
…The blindingly white flash didn’t end with a single blow. After erasing them, they were rammed into the area indiscriminately.
And before long, the huge confusion created by the flash shook the entire Demon King’s army.
