Chapter 173
Overpowered Sword Chapter 173
Level Up to Black Red (173)
For four days from the day he fainted while standing, Leon had been asleep without blinking an eye.
On the surface, it seemed very peaceful.
The wounds have completely healed, and the skin that had dried up due to rapid exhaustion is gradually rising and returning to its usual appearance. My complexion, which was pale on the first day, eventually became flushed on the second day, making me feel like I was going to open my eyes at any moment.
Despite this, Leon did not wake up right away.
The reason was simple.
This was because his body, which had become unstable as he ascended to the level of master during the battle, required time.
In fact, a great revolution was taking place within Leon’s body.
As he broke through the master’s wall, the spirit spirit rapidly expanded, destroying the near-perfect balance and creating a new one. In a way, fainting served as a blessing in disguise. As unnecessary consciousness subsided deeply, Leon’s body naturally recovered to its best form.
The strong parts become stronger and the flexible parts become more flexible.
It goes several steps beyond the limits of the human race.
“…Hmm.”
After four days of long sleep, Leon slowly lifted his eyelids on the soft bed.
It was an unfamiliar ceiling.
Leon first removed the blanket from his body and sharpened his senses that had been dulled by a long sleep. Then, the sensory area that had been suppressed to a radius of a few meters expanded to tens or hundreds of meters.
As the amount of information poured in like a tidal wave hit his brain, Leon felt dizzy for a moment and placed his hand on the bed.
“Ugh! “What is it?”
The range and precision were incomparable to before.
I could ‘feel’ the flapping wings of a bird about 50 meters away and the sounds of people flapping about 200 meters away.
It is engraved in your mind, encompassing both hearing and sight. It was a state where one could perceive objects around oneself through unified synesthesia, without distinction between the five senses.
Not long ago, it was a question of whether or not I would be able to achieve this level of sensation if I had to concentrate extremely hard.
‘It’s so easy you don’t have to concentrate.’
The dizziness I felt at first was only temporary, and once I got used to it, it wasn’t particularly difficult to control my senses.
Leon blinked a few times and soon became aware of a feeling of discomfort not only in his senses but also in his entire body. No matter what movement you make, when you move your body, your muscles move together, but the level of strength and flexibility felt during the process was very different.
Ugh.
When I clenched my right hand, my palm was pressed down with a grip that felt like it could crush a rock like clay.
That was the extent of it even though the Aurors were not in operation.
It seemed that his body had undergone major changes while he was asleep. To the extent that it would astonish an unmanned person who is supposed to be able to observe and control his or her body like an elaborate craft.
Then El Cid spoke.
[Are you awake? I fell asleep for a long time.]
Leon asked back.
“How long was I asleep?”
[A little over four days.]
“I’ve been lying down longer than I thought.”
Even after being chased by Nephrenka for several nights, it was enough to sleep for only half a day, but I never thought it would stretch for as many as four days.
This was because the accumulated fatigue that night was enormous and unexpected variables occurred. As if becoming a master in the middle of a fierce battle was not enough, as soon as he awakened, he manifested his and used up every ounce of his remaining power.
If someone else had committed such an unreasonable act, there would have been irreparable aftereffects.
[Thank you poor bitch. If it weren’t for the resilience of Stigmata, you might not have won the battle that night.]
“I guess so.”
Leon obediently acknowledged those words.
The guardian’s stigmata.
A divine protection that increases your strength when dealing with enemies in the world and can accept both sunlight and moonlight and convert them into energy.
The remaining three stigmata were also active in their own way, but it was the guardian’s stigmata that helped him the most in his combat ability and durability.
“I didn’t know you would react to my ‘Auror Blade’.”
Above all, the guardian’s stigmata also exerted its function in the light of the Aurorblade sun sword that he manifested.
That was the reason and foundation that allowed Leon, who was overwhelmed in terms of power, to confront him in the end. Otherwise, by the time manifested, he would have been completely dried to the bone and would have died instantly.
[It’s not like Poonsu bitch predicted that far before giving it to me, so I was just lucky. Don’t try to rely on luck.]
El Cid was right.
It is nothing more than a theory of results, so if you only believe in your own luck and stop struggling, it will end badly.
Leon also nodded and agreed with what he said.
[By the way, you must have gone through a complete transformation. How do you feel?]
“Huh? “A complete transformation?”
[Body-Change.]
It was a phenomenon that could be said to be the symbol and gateway to the Aura Master. The reason Karen was still considered an incomplete master was because she had not experienced that phenomenon.
A phenomenon in which all turbidity and impurities from the body are expelled and the muscles and bones are rearranged to a level that exceeds the limits of living organisms.
Masters who have experienced this phenomenon can eat even minor poisons as seasoning without getting sick. It was a bonus that the Auror’s operational capabilities increased significantly.
“…I went through a body change? really?”
Although Leon was convinced by those words, he looked confused as he recalled what he had heard all along. This is because the body change he heard about had to go through a more grandiose process than this.
I heard that rotten-smelling mucus would flow out from the pores of the entire body, and that skin and bone fragments would peel off like a lizard shedding its skin.
El Cid looked into that thought and chuckled.
[Well, you’re not wrong. Normally, everyone does that.]
But Leon, he said, is an exception.
[To briefly summarize body change, it is the phenomenon of rebuilding the body with the energy generated while crossing the master’s wall. Cells… So, from the very smallest units to the bones, blood vessels, flesh, skin and nerves, they are strengthened to withstand the events of Auror Blade.]
“Aha….”
[During the process, the energy and energy accumulated in the body are strengthened. As impurities are discharged and inefficient muscles and bones are corrected to an efficient form, protruding flesh and bones come out.]
But what if the body shape, muscles and bones were efficient and almost free of impurities and impurities even before experiencing body change?
[I have been correcting your muscles for several years, and all the impurities and impurities were burned away when I downloaded the stigmata. So, all of the remaining strength would have been focused on strengthening the body. It can be said that it is a start that is many times superior to the others.]
Without any grandiose process, or rather, because there was no grandiose process, Leon’s physical ability was improved much more than before. The energy that was originally supposed to be used to expel toxins and impurities and straighten the muscles was used solely to strengthen the body.
If possible, I wanted to see the change in numbers, but before Leon could say anything, El Cid struck the player.
[From the master level, it is meaningless to quantify that ability.]
“What? why?”
[Because when the power of will reaches the area where it distorts the laws of physics, you can change that number at will. If I had been able to quantify everything without that, I would have used the status window to analyze it every time an enemy appeared. The reason I didn’t do that was because I was worried that you might develop bad habits.]
The same goes for “Auror Blade”.
Al Rajaz and Barg’s pure physical abilities are far higher than that of Barg, a member of the Fenrir tribe, who are famous for being strong among beastmen.
However, if you were to compare the combat power of the two, you would have to turn over all the cards hidden at the bottom to know the superiority or inferiority. This means that if you get into the habit of distinguishing between superiority and inferiority through the status window, you can make the mistake of overlooking someone you should be paying attention to.
“It means you have to trust my eyes.”
[A person who does not recognize strength and weakness will die quickly. Whether it was my time or now, that fact remains the same.]
As Leon agreed with his words, he felt signs approaching the room he was staying in.
The presence of a familiar and intimate enemy without a hint of it.
Soon, the two entered Leon’s room.
“Hero! “You’ve woken up as expected!”
“Are you feeling okay, Leon?”
Ellahan and Karen approached his bed with a smile on their faces.
Al Razaz and Barg could not stay long due to their position, but the two continued to take turns escorting Leon’s room.
This was because I instinctively felt that he was overcoming an important juncture. Thanks to this, Leon was able to go through the body change without disturbing anyone.
“I’m sorry for keeping you waiting. “I slept a little long, didn’t I?”
When he smiled with such a humble expression, the two people smiled and shook their heads in unison.
“No way! “Congratulations on your great success, warrior.”
“I didn’t expect to be overtaken like this… but I guess I need to work harder.”
Elahan and Karen celebrated his achievement in their own way. Since I wasn’t hiding anything, I could feel Leon’s presence tingly through my skin. This was the energy that could be felt from Barg and Al Razaz, who had swelled several times more than before the night of the decisive battle.
The meaning was clear.
Aura Master.
It is said that Leon has stepped into the realm of absoluteness, of which only a few people exist in the country.
“Thank you both. “You were still protecting me, right?”
Leon returned his greeting to the two people and stood up.
Although I lay down for four days, my body did not stiffen or become stiff. This was thanks to the fact that the muscles themselves evolved into a form that was far from common sense.
“Can you tell me what happened while I was asleep? “It wouldn’t have been that big of a deal in four days.”
“Yes, of course!”
“I knew I would ask as soon as I woke up, so I organized it.”
For some reason, the two of them fit together better than before.
Meanwhile, Ellahan and Karen seemed to be competing for their contributions, knowingly or unknowingly, but once Leon fell asleep and woke up, they were establishing a perfect cooperation system.
Even if I rack my brain, I don’t know what happened.
[Puhahaha! That’s how it happened. [They are very clever ladies.]
El Cid seemed to have vaguely noticed, but asked,
‘What?’
[I won’t teach you. You have to figure this out on your own.]
I fell silent in response to Leon’s question without a single hint.
In any case, good things are good things, and Leon listened to the two people’s story without any doubt.
But a motionless figure in the distance made him tilt his head.
‘…Why is Hathi doing that?’
* * *
A tall tree stood a few hundred meters away from the barracks where Leon, who had begun to be revered as a hero by both the Bedouin and the Beastmen after just one battle, was sleeping.
And at the top was a woman with black hair and erect ears, standing on a tree branch with her stubby feet like a beast.
Among the direct descendants of the Fenrir tribe, he is closest to the chieftain.
It was Hathi.
“…I don’t even have the right to meet you right now.”
It was a dark, deep voice that was uncharacteristic of her.
“The law of the grassland is the law of the fittest. How the strong conquer food, love, and land. Besides, the females next to you are so much stronger and more beautiful than me that you won’t even be able to see me.”
From the time she was born until today, she was a powerhouse.
Born as the daughter of the Beast King Barg, she learned the art of ‘Tenrang’ with genius qualities and competed with her siblings.
Monsters that are famous for being powerful.
Warriors renowned for their bravery.
Except for the chieftain level, there was no opponent who could compete with Hati, and he had thought that one day, after overcoming the master’s wall, he would become the next king of the steppes.
“…It’s exactly my story because I’m a frog in a well.”
But even that imagination fell far short.
The first male she liked was already a warrior who could be on par with her father, and the females surrounding him were also strong men who were difficult to deal with.
Yes, Hathi barely admitted it.
She is the weak one now. She is a female who cannot be attractive to Leon and is not even qualified to enter the competition.
“For now.”
Nevertheless, Hati’s eyes shone with determination.
Those were not the eyes of someone who had broken down and given up.
It was the look in the eyes of someone who could stand up again, no matter how many times, even if he was broken.
“Wait, warrior Leon.”
Hati muttered about his identity, which he had learned from his father’s words, and jumped up with his back to the barracks visible in the distance.
I hope I can face him more courageously next time.
The second growth period of the next Beast King has arrived.
