Overpowered Sword Chapter 72

Level up to Black Red (72)

The sky is getting darker.

The night in Rubena comes early.

The sun set over the mountains at 5 p.m. and soon extinguished its light, covering the entire city in darkness. The starlight that was invisible because of the sun reveals itself, and the moon takes its place.

It was a time when vampires could operate freely.

Two vampires, Tepes and Roman, who had been hiding in the ruins, came out into the city and jumped onto the roof of a building. It was a movement that did not feel any weight at all, a bit different from a leap.

Just because it was daytime didn’t mean they just slept.

Tepes used his ability to create illusions to communicate with Leon, and in the process, he learned that the Holy Knight had arrived.

and.

“Nice to meet you, Angela.”

Roman, a middle-aged man who came to the front of Tepes, opened his mouth. Angela, the castle knight who was first on the rooftop, greeted them.

Since she couldn’t speak, she just nodded once.

“I heard the story.”

Roman knew that fact, so he summarized the current situation without showing any displeasure.

“My role, the prince, is to fight together with you in the camp and then help the prisoners escape and join us. Is that correct?”

Angela nodded once again.

The two high-ranking vampires were powerful, but there was no way the Count would not have taken that into account. They must have prepared a number of traps and suppression methods that work well against vampires.

It was especially clear that this would be the case if it was a concentration camp where they had no choice but to target.

This was something Roman had already confirmed himself.

“There are not many troops guarding the camp. “There is only one expert-level knight stationed here, and there are magic barriers everywhere that reproduce the light of the sun, so we can’t be of much help.”

“If we destroy the axis of the barrier, we will be able to access it, but…”

In fact, it was no different from telling Angela to attack alone.

Still, she didn’t show the slightest bit of agitation. All I had to do was slowly close and open my eyes and move my gaze here and there as if I was looking for a gap in my target.

He has a physique that is neither large nor small, and his outfit looks like a mixture of priest’s uniform and plate mail.

Angela, as the Holy Knight, always looked like this.

Crash.

As she put her hands together as if praying, the surface of the silver gauntlets made a metallic sound as they rubbed once.

A pair of gauntlets made of mithril.

That was Angela’s partner for decades.

She herself does not know how many heads have been shattered by this iron fist or how much evil has been crushed. I just kept going, believing that one day the blood would dry up.

“…3 minutes ago.”

Unlike her, Damien, who was well versed in sexual laws, took on a different role. Together with Leon and his group, interrogate the Count and, if possible, neutralize or capture him.

However, it is difficult to subdue the Count with just them.

Angela had to attack the camp as quickly as possible and free the people detained there before joining them.

“Angela?”

When the rush time was up, Angela made the vampires step back with a few hand gestures.

Even among the Seongcheolsae Knights, she didn’t have any tact.

I didn’t have any weapon skills that suited me well, so I ended up having to hit him with punches.

Ugh!

Light gathers.

Starting from Angela’s right fist, an enormous power gathered, pressing down on the surrounding area, and the holy power and aura resonated and swirled.

〈Holy-Fist〉.

A person who proved his strength with only his two fists in the Knights of Seongcheolsae where many strong people gathered. The anecdote of breaking down a castle gate with a single punch is still passed down orally in a certain city.

“――!”

A flash of light exploded from the end of Angela’s fist as she swung in a silent voice.

* * *

…!

A loud noise came from somewhere in the city and shook the ground. I don’t know what tactic was used, but it must have been an incredibly powerful tactic.

Leon was secretly impressed as he estimated its destructive power.

In terms of the density of power alone, it is lower than the he unfolds, but the total amount is not much different. It was a technique that was sure to be shattered if it just brushed against it.

“You must be Angela.”

Damian, who had taken a few steps ahead, muttered that.

“yes?”

“That vibration from a little while ago.”

Since he had performed cooperative missions with her several times, he knew well how fearsome those tiny fists were.

The power to shatter the lance charging of a heavy armored knight from the front.

Those who looked down on her based solely on her gender and physique had to be knocked to the ground with one punch. Not being able to speak is a huge limitation. No matter what the situation, there are many times when you have to overcome it with your strength, not your head.

Angela survived as a knight of the Seongcheolsae for decades like that.

“In terms of pure strength, he would be more than twice as strong as me and most seniors.”

It wasn’t for nothing that she was dispatched as a team to attack the concentration camp.

Damian decided that was enough.

“I guess this is the problem.”

They were the personnel who had to attack Count Rubena directly.

Four B-rank mercenaries, one B-rank adventurer, and one A-rank adventurer. One Holy Iron Knight has been added to the composition, but the power of a high-ranking wizard is swelled several times in his home base.

Even with this power, do I have to hit it well to get a whistle?

‘If even one person dies or loses combat power…’

At that moment, the game turns over.

Gustav and Leon probably guessed what Damian had omitted, but their faces also turned stiff and they walked away without saying a word.

It was also easy to get to the count’s mansion.

The knights standing in front of the main gate blocked them.

“What’s going on! “If you have any sense of etiquette for visiting the Count at this late hour, please leave immediately!”

“It is you who must step aside.”

Damian took a step forward and stretched out his hand.

“Damian, the 38th Holy Knight of the Sacred Church. “I declare that I have come to this territory to ask for the sin of heresy.”

“What kind of denomination…!?”

“Seongcheolseokknight…!”

As the panicked knights were struggling without knowing what to do, a person suddenly came out of the mansion.

An old man well dressed in a tailcoat.

The head of the Count Rubena family bowed in a polite manner.

“The Count told me to come inside. “Please follow me.”

It’s an incredibly bold attitude.

As a butler, you welcome the Knight of Seongcheolsae who came to interrogate him for heresy? Leon and the others were momentarily taken aback by those words, but soon realized that there was no need to refuse and entered the mansion.

It was a different atmosphere from when I visited during the day.

There was no human warmth at all in the dark, quiet hallway and the mansion, where there was no sign of human presence.

“He’s waiting inside.”

When we finally reached the front of the living room, the deacon stopped after saying those words. It was an attitude as if he had fulfilled his role.

Damien reached out and opened the living room door.

No matter what traps lurk, you must not back down once you have come this far. The Knight of Seongcheolsae is a person who carries out the will of the Goddess. There is no option to retreat in the face of heresy.

“Welcome, Damian, Holy Iron Knight.”

Count Andrei Rubena, with a relaxed face, smiled as he faced the group.

There is not even a trace of the anger seen a few days ago.

I didn’t know if it was all a lie from the beginning or if it turned out to be a good thing.

“It’s a sudden visit, so I won’t be able to treat you like a guest. Since I said I was going to be accused of heresy, I wouldn’t even drink a cup of tea. Isn’t that right?”

“Don’t lie, Count. “I didn’t come here with the intention of making jokes at this late hour.”

Damian, whose gentle demeanor changed into a sharp one, snapped.

“You are accused of detaining the Wallachian clan who had completed their service labor sentence in our church and exploiting the blood of innocent territory residents to gain power.”

“Hoo, how did you know that?”

“…I guess you have no intention of making excuses.”

Count Andrei of Rubena took a sip of the wine in his hand and asked back in a slow tone.

“Even if I make an excuse, they won’t even pretend to believe me, right? “Then there’s no reason for me to participate in that skit.”

After emptying his wine glass, Andrei immediately looked at Leon and the others behind Damian and said with a chuckle.

“You fooled me well. For a lowly bastard to sneak in and destroy my belongings, you have a pretty big liver. “I personally promise you that I will not kill you as gently as you.”

“That’s not even funny.”

Gustav openly laughed at those murderous words.

“If vampires are called bats, aren’t you a leech who sucked their blood again? “Besides, it seems like you have a swollen liver, admitting to the charge of heresy in front of the Knight of Seongcheolsae.”

“…You’re so good at barking, Cheongeo.”

“Seeing as you understand all my barks, it doesn’t seem like there’s that much of a difference, does it?”

Nobles and mercenaries.

It was decided which side would be more adept at arguing. If it’s a position where minimum courtesy is required, mercenaries are the ones who can even bring back parents in order to upset the other person.

As soon as they exchanged a few words, Andrei was at a loss for words and his relaxed face started to tremble.

“Do you really want to die?”

“You said you wouldn’t kill me kindly, but were you planning on letting me live? “Well, he must have done something like that because he was senile.”

“-bloke!”

Finally, Andrei’s patience ran out and he got up.

“You’re cutting the few remaining cords with your tongue! good night! “I will kill you right here and now!”

With that shout, the atmosphere in the room changed.

The pendant hanging around Andrei’s neck suddenly shattered, and at the same time, the magical power released filled the room.

Leon and the others’ faces immediately turned pale.

“It’s an outrageous magical power….”

“At this level, it’s at least level 7! “How has that damned old man been hiding this power all this time?!”

“Is it like that pendant from a little while ago… a magic suppressor…!”

They quickly change positions while exchanging a few words.

The Count’s drawing room was quite large, so even if seven people surrounded it, spaced appropriately apart, there would still be some space.

Andrei looked at the herpes but did not do anything.

You guys just looked down with anger and ridicule on your faces, as if your struggles were in vain.

“Do you still not understand, you thousand things?”

He spread his arms wide and flew into the air.

Although it was only a few meters long, no one could underestimate the intimidation of a man with a vast amount of magical power wrapped around him like a cloak.

Leon and the others looked at him with their eyes wide open.

The wizard’s weakness is close combat, but this is his base. If you make a hasty move, you could be in big trouble at that moment. You shouldn’t waste your strength until the moment you reveal a gap.

“Why didn’t I gather the knights? “Why did I invite you guys here?”

Andrei, floating in the air, spread his palms forward.

“Die while blaming the arrogance and ignorance of those who stand before me without thinking about anything.”

It was that moment.

Black lightning flew out from Andrei’s hand and struck Gustav’s great sword, which was barely in front of his body.

And Gustav was shot backwards like an arrow and hit the wall.

He had already blown away an Auror user who was several times stronger than others and had almost reached A rank. Low-level magic cannot produce this level of power.

When Damian realized this, he opened his eyes and shouted.

“High-level magic using a chantless chant…?! You really used a sacrifice! “Not only was it not enough to exploit the blood of the poor, but even their souls…!”

“There’s something I’ve wanted to ask about the Dog of the Church for a long time.”

Andrei ignored his anger and continued talking.

“You guys defined us warlocks as heretics and banned several lines of magic. Drain was like that, and so was Sacrifice. “Most of the magic I study was put into practice that way.”

Black magic was once classified as a branch of magic.

Until its viciousness and cruelty became widely known, black magic became a good weapon for those who sought power over the world.

In particular, those in power abused their power.

To them, their people were like overflowing wealth and they thought they could use it like water. The history of several ancient empires rising and falling through black magic is quite famous.

“because? Why did they ban such effective magic? You can shorten decades with a few insignificant lives, but you can achieve immortality by using worthless people. Why does the goddess forbid that? Why do you let mortals die?”

“Are you going to ask me to give a sermon?”

“no way.”

Andrei laughed bitterly.

Then, his eyes turned red and he shouted like crazy.

“It means that I will make you realize your foolishness!”

Evil power overflows.

This mansion resonated with the power radiating from Andrei’s body, and the waves shook the bodies of Leon and the others. It’s not even an attack. It just revealed its hidden power, but the powerful people of B rank and above felt dizzy for a moment.

A high-ranking warlock of 7th rank or higher.

Not only has he accumulated a huge amount of sacrifices, but he also controls the entire territory like the palm of his hand.

[Be careful, Leon.]

El Cid said.

Suddenly, Andrei’s body changed from an old man with white hair to a neat young man.

That presence is more than just the preacher we encountered in Blaine in the past.

Although it cannot be compared to the monster from , the odds of winning are less than 30% with the power gathered here.

[The power of the holy sword also works with black magic, but it does not work as well as outer magic. I think it’s about halving it.]

‘What if I block that lightning from a while ago?’

[You won’t be thrown around like a big guy, but your wrists will feel numb. You can’t just cut it down and move forward.]

‘It’s going to be difficult.’

Contrary to his tone, Leon did not flinch.

He swung the holy sword, pushed away the heavy air in the room, took a step forward, and aimed the blade at Andrei.

The group, who were still stiff, looked at his back.

“Let’s get started.”

Leon grinned fearlessly as he felt Karen approaching his side.

Gustav spoke very well.

Thinking about that made me laugh for no reason.

“He’s a leech old man, so that’s quite a nickname.”

“―You lowly bastard!”

Enraged, Andrei stretched out his hand and Leon swung his sword.

Whoops!

The lightning cut by the blade of the holy sword fades away.

The moment Andrei was shocked by the result, Damian took advantage of the opportunity and put his hands together.

The natural enemy of black magic is holy magic.

Even in the places where Andrei took the lead, the superiority is clear.

“Goddess, please give us light even in the dark and cold shadows. Please give us light so that they can recognize their own heartlessness so that they can know the mercy that you have given them.”

The light emanating from Damien’s body fills the room.

The black magic barrier that had temporarily taken control of the mansion stopped, and the magic flowing into Andrei decreased.

That was the beginning.

“Now!”

At those words, the mercenary unit rushed in all at once.
