Overpowered Sword

Overpowered Sword Chapter 115

Level up with the sword (115)

The third was the halberd.

It was a weapon with an ax blade attached to the end of a spear pole and was famous for having all the advantages of a spear and an axe.

You could swing it like an ax and cut it down.

You could have pierced it with a spear blade.

It could also be pulled with its beak on the other side of the axe.

Because the methods of use are so vast, it is difficult to increase the proficiency, but if you train to the level of a master, you will be close to perfection in interpersonal combat.

The range of the spear and the destructive power of the axe.

If you can skillfully use both strengths, there are few weapons that can compete with the halberd in close combat.

“It’s long.”

El Cid, holding the halberd’s spear, commented briefly.

“Isn’t it a little less than 3 meters? “It was made in a standard way.”

At the same time, a small amount of aura flows in.

Leon once again concentrated on the sensation coming.

This method is the essence of ‘Gongbeop’.

I felt the aura flowing from my palm seep into the spear holder, ripple like a stone thrown into a lake, and then sink.

‘Is it a wave…?’

The transmission of force in any form immediately causes vibrations that spread in all directions like ripples on the surface of the water.

The essence of heat and shock was the same.

〈Gongbeop〉 is about penetrating the invisible microscopic world with senses beyond the five senses. Leon could not yet accept all the information coming to his fingertips.

Meanwhile, El Cid was praising the halberd he was holding in his hand.

“Oh you mixed Wolfram with steel? “It wouldn’t have been easy to filter out the impurities.”

“There was no choice but to have both strength and elasticity.”

“Good decision. For long weapons such as polearms, it is difficult to exert centrifugal force if the polearm is stiff. However, if you make it too soft, it will bend, making it difficult to find a middle ground.”

His praise was filled with expert insight, making even dwarves who would normally not even snort at words feel satisfied.

But El Cid’s praise stopped there.

“But there’s a bit of a problem with the ax blade.”

“What is it?”

“The center of gravity is biased. The balance between the beak and the spear blade was not right, so the connection became loose. If you swing it like this…”

Snap.

As I take a step and twist my upper body, my arm bounces like a wave from my shoulder to my right wrist.

Even though the halberd weighed over 5kg, it felt like whipping.

Super acceleration that instantly breaks the sound barrier!

Quang!

However, the moment it reached the speed of sound, the connection between the ax and the spear was completely broken, and the ax blade fell to the ground.

As El Cid said, the center of gravity was misaligned and it could not handle the shock of sudden acceleration and sudden stop.

“Buffaloooooot!”

The dwarf holding the remains of the halberd in his arms sobbed, but El Cid did not move an eyebrow.

This was something that was done once 300 years ago.

From the beginning, I had no conscience to be pricked to this degree.

“next!”

As El Cid snapped his fingers, the fourth dwarf trembled and held out a rapier.

Rapier.

It was a sword specialized for extreme stabbing. Since it cannot penetrate metal armor without using an aura, it was often used for self-defense and duels rather than on the battlefield.

“Just because it’s a rapier doesn’t mean it can’t cut… This sword completely ignores cutting. Have you ever wanted to make a sword that can pierce anything? “The goal is too blatant.”

The dwarf who made the rapier nodded his head.

“Just like you said. I tried to increase the power of one point even by slightly reducing its utility as a weapon. So, my sword must not be damaged in any way other than ‘piercing’.”

“Alright, I’ll win by stabbing.”

El Cid happily accepted the conditions and lowered himself.

By tilting the center of gravity so that it can jump forward at any time, low like an animal preparing to hunt.

Half a step.

The shock from the stepping foot is rotated to the ankle and the force is amplified in the knee, waist and hip joints. Squeezing the muscles of the entire body like laundry to throw the body weight and inertia in a straight line.

The pinnacle of war mirror strength.

Geek!

When the invisible thrust was over, the straight blade of the rapier was twisted miserably.

This is because it was not possible to assume a spiral rather than a straight line.

“It was half-baked. They said they had given up on cutting, but they didn’t even make the sword body cylindrical. It was also bad to reduce the elasticity by considering only straight stabbing. “Let’s make it again from scratch.”

“Angeuuuuu—!?”

“…sigh, there is no progress. “These bastards.”

Holding the rapier that has become a pretzel, he pushes back the crying tooth and reaches for the weapon that will become his next victim.

The fifth was Flail.

Likewise, with one swing, the chain broke.

“The chains fell apart. next!”

Since then, dozens of pieces of weapons were caught in El Cid’s hands and returned in a miserable state, bringing tears to the blacksmiths’ eyes.

Regardless of the type or material, all weapons cannot withstand a single blow and become a total mess. This was inevitable because the method of detecting weaknesses and accurately widening the cracks was used through .

“This is the last time.”

While all the dwarves at the Machina Blacksmith sat down covered in tears, El Cid picked up the weapon for the unknown number of times and looked inside it.

Then he grinned and muttered to himself.

[Did you show your disciple everything what to do?]

‘Huh?’

[Try to kill the last one with your own hands.]

Immediately after that, Leon realized that he had regained control of his body. The weight of the spear in his hand and the feel of the cool metal brought him back to reality.

El Cid deliberately left one sack behind and switched with him!

‘You crazy bastard!’

Leon couldn’t bear to show it with his facial expression, and only gritted his teeth while the forearm holding the spear trembled.

‘If you started it, shouldn’t you finish it!?’

El Cid answered in a shameless manner.

[Think of it as leaving Yujong’s beauty behind.]

‘You promised to solve everything!’

[From now on, don’t trust promises without collateral. Hmm, I said it myself, but it’s a good lesson.]

‘It’s like a damn magic sword…!’

Knowing that he had been beaten as always, Leon took a deep breath to regain his composure. El Cid often pulls bad pranks, but he has never been given a task he can’t do.

A spear made entirely of metal from the handle to the blade.

I look at the weapon in my hands and close my eyes. The difference between El Cid and his capabilities is immeasurable. Even after practicing for another 10 years, I was not confident in being able to read the internal structure and identify the material with a single tap of my finger.

‘but.’

If I gathered all my mental power, it might be possible to find the weak point of a single spear.

‘As if the aura is flowing like a thin, long thread and expanding the body’s nervous system to the outside.’

Leon’s eyes, in a trance, peer into the body.

His concentration was maximized to the point where he could see the countless stretching and tangled lines, the nervous system that periodically exchanged signals, and even the blood flow in the capillaries, which aroused the aura.

There is no need to spend a lot.

A small amount of aura, no more than a handful or even half a handful, flows towards the palm of the hand in a weak stream.

It was then.

‘ah!’

A soft light erupted from between the eyebrows, which was hidden by Leon’s bangs, and pushed the sluggish Auror into the window.

The ‘stigmata of the ancestor’ adds mental power.

At the same time, the internal structure of the window was momentarily felt. It was neither seen nor heard, but ‘felt’. What purpose was it in this shape and how much effort was put into making it?

“You increased ductility to focus on elasticity. “Even if the strength is slightly lower, there will be no significant difference in the power of the technology itself if centrifugal force or semi-elasticity is used.”

“That’s right.”

The dwarf stuttered, surprised by the sudden politeness, but Leon, who had not yet returned from his trance, did not care.

Lack of intensity Digging into that weakness.

Hold the end of the handle, not the center, with both hands and lift it upward as if you were holding a sword. Unlike El Cid, there is no need or confidence to break it all at once. Nevertheless, the only thing left was the desire to break it all at once.

‘Cut.’

A bolt of lightning struck Leon from the top of his head to the top of his feet.

One island.

A vertical cut that was so serene cut through the air in the blacksmith shop,

making a huge profit!

The scream of a bent window rang out from the center.

“――Whew.”

As my extreme concentration faded, my entire body complained of muscle pain, and my heart, which had been beating several times stronger, felt like it was going to explode.

Despite this, Leon was smiling.

It was an insignificant achievement compared to El Cid, but he went one step further. On the other hand, I did not take into account the feelings of the blacksmiths who saw that face.

“…That human is smiling, right?”

“…He’s like the devil.”

“…Our skills were only this good.”

Those who are afraid of Leon or are reluctant to do so. And even those who are ashamed of their own immaturity.

The atmosphere in the Machina Forge sank low.

This horrendous sight of dozens of weapons lying around without proper function meant only one thing. Meister Pedro, the person in charge of the game, spoke in a somber voice.

“It is your victory.”

Leon then took a look around and accepted the result with a shocked expression.

“Rodrik’s Tradition” was eventually reproduced after 300 years.

* * *

“Are you not enough of a challenge to ‘Rodrik’s Legend’ just to make a claim against me, so you ended up winning…!?”

Finally, the dwarf Lombart came in front of the three people and muttered with a pale, tired face.

Even if he is a successful craftsman in Area 13, he is only an apprentice in Area 1. Not only did the work at the blacksmith stop because of one apprentice, but the weapons that the artisans cherished were also destroyed, so his ordeal was almost guaranteed.

“Well, it’s a pretty serious matter to call it a claim.”

Still, it was nothing compared to the bloodshed that would blow across the continent. Without showing any sympathy, Leon explained what Garlond, who was standing behind him, had experienced.

Lombard, who had been entranced by his situation at first, soon seemed to be listening and then exclaimed in great surprise.

“It’s a magic sword! “There’s no way my sword could do that!”

To the blacksmith, the magic sword was a symbol of corruption and evidence that the sword was forged with bad feelings.

Leon, who understood Lombart’s astonishment, immediately added his words.

“I’m not saying you did it intentionally. “There is a high possibility that there is a problem with some of the minerals used as materials.”

“As for the minerals used back then… there were only three types.”

“What if there are three types?”

“Hyeoncheol and mithril and a very small amount of adamantium. How many times have you tested it and you’ve run into such a problem? That’s ridiculous. “Galonde, didn’t you also use aura to look at the sword?”

Garlond responded by nodding his head.

“of course. Even though I did that, I couldn’t figure it out. “It was only after seeing the blood with the sword that he revealed his true nature.”

“Blood…?”

“Hmm, maybe the guy who contaminated the mineral reacts to the blood of living things.”

It made sense.

Lombart seemed to be convinced, but when they asked where the minerals came from, his expression changed again.

“I’m sorry, but the source of the minerals used is top secret. You cannot view it as a guild investigator. “Even if it is a request according to Roderick’s Tradition, we cannot grant anything outside of our authority.”

“Ugh…”

“If you want to hear it somehow, you have no choice but to get permission from Meister Pedro.”

It spun around and stayed in the same place.

When the three people looked for Pedro again, he regained his chirpy appearance and spoke after hearing the story.

“Is this information about the source of the mineral?”

Pedro said without much thought.

“It’s no big deal. If I accompany you, you can read it on the spot. “Even if you know the location of the mineral vein, it’s not like you can dig it.”

“Are you going to help me?”

“Why should I help you?”

It was just as they all expected.

There is no reason to help the party who came while preparing for the challenge of ‘Jugendstil’ and broke all the pain.

However, Leon found a breakthrough through something he had previously encountered.

“If you want to run a blacksmith shop, you have to help me.”

“under! “Do you think you can make a Meister Blacksmith submit through threats or something, human kid?”

“No way. “I’m just exercising my fair rights.”

“what?”

Unlike the events of 300 years ago, Roderick’s Tradition is established one-to-one, not many-to-one. However, since Leon single-handedly defeated all the blacksmiths except Pedro, he had the right to demand one request from all of them.

Pedro, who understood the situation, opened his eyes wide.

“Yes, you guy…!”

“If you continue to work in such a hot and humid place, you will all get tired. “How about taking a break for a month while drinking some cold beer?”

“It’s like the return of damn Roderick!”

It was an abusive language that only the dwarves of Jugend enjoyed using.

Karen and Garlond looked puzzled by the swear words that were like high praise, but only Leon froze as if he had been greatly shocked.

He barely recovered after a few seconds and spoke.

“If you don’t want to feel like you’re giving in to threats, let’s compete.”

Pedro asked back with an interested expression.

“Are you planning to bet ‘Rodrik’s Tradition’ on me?”

“Honestly, this situation is something Meister Pedro did, right? So I hope you proceed the way I explain.”

“…I’ll give it a listen.”

“It’s simple.”

Suppressing the remorse that kept rising, Leon pointed to the holy sword hanging on his waist.

As usual, it was disguised as an ordinary long sword.

“Meister Pedro’s work and my beloved sword are competing. It doesn’t matter how many swords you bring, so the winner or loser will be decided if you give up first or if your sword breaks.”

“Khahahahaha!”

Hearing how his suggestion sounded, Pedro even distorted his solemn expression and laughed loudly.

He then nodded while pounding my chest.

“good night! It looks like he’s trying to save my face, but it’s a rather unpleasant offer! The first meeting was unpleasant, but your capabilities are among the highest among warriors I have ever seen. “After I break that sword, I will present you with my masterpiece!”

“uh?”

“No preparation necessary! “This is my blacksmith shop, so you can take whatever you can get your hands on!”

After saying that, Leon, who had unintentionally pushed himself into the abyss, looked blankly at the back of Pedro, who was stomping away.

El Cid opened his mouth as if to mock that feeling.

[Disciple.]

‘…Why.’

[Isn’t it too much to encourage that old bastard to break the holy sword that I couldn’t break?]

Leon, who had forgotten all his excuses, simply remained silent.

[Kyahahaha! You’re always talking evil and you’re just as bad as me! Even after I die, I still chose one of my disciples well!]

‘…It’s noisy.’

[I heard that when I plant beans, beans grow, and when I plant red beans, red beans grow. Befitting my disciple!]

‘You damn demon sword bastard for being noisy!’

In the sight of him arguing with El Cid, I caught Pedro approaching from afar with a smiling face.

It was an hour later.

“Keuheung huh huh huh huh huh huh huh.”

“….”

“….”

“….”

Leon and the others left the Machina Blacksmith in an atmosphere as if they were going to a funeral. Standing in front of the three was Pedro, a meister-level blacksmith who looked miserable with tears and snot. It was.
