Chapter 1732 – 214. A Person Who Has Reached the Peak of the Sword.
“To say that you are greater than the Archmage…Does that mean you are even a god?”
Archmage
A great being who can freely manipulate magic that is close to a natural disaster and has the ability to easily destroy a relatively small country
In some ways, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he is the closest person to God.
But is he greater than that great wizard?
“Well, you can see that.”
Sunwoo calmly opens his mouth.
She seemed to be a more perceptive woman than she expected.
I never thought he would find out his identity so quickly.
“Then… Wouldn’t it be possible to annihilate an orc colony in an instant?”
“No, that’s impossible.”
Normally, all you have to do is lift a finger
Even a small village like this could be easily annihilated
It is impossible at the moment.
Physical ability that transcends limits
Infinite internal strength
The power to manifest miracles
After crossing over to another world, everything was sealed
Because it was a situation where even the original power could not be used
“What kind of god is this!”
Youngae tackles with all her might.
If she’s a god, isn’t she someone who creates miracles?
Isn’t he a being with absolute power who can achieve even things that are impossible with human power?
But how can someone who calls himself a god not be able to do anything to even an orc village?
“There’s nothing we can do. Most of our power was sealed when we crossed the dimension..”
Now that I say something, it feels like an excuse.
“Yes~ You must be young~”
It seemed like she also had similar feelings.
If you see them treating it openly as an excuse.
‘…It’s so unfair.’
Of course, it wasn’t something I couldn’t understand.
Even if you feel like yourself
Even an orc village can’t believe that humans who can’t do anything are gods.
“It’s not magic anyway, is it?”
After thinking about it carefully
If he were a wizard with the ability to create subspace, he wouldn’t have even had to worry about escaping.
All you have to do is specify the coordinates and teleport.
“Well, that’s right.”
Seonwoo obediently admits it.
What brings the dark night
Because it was a concept of soul-to-soul bonding rather than magic
“…Doesn’t that sword have any special abilities?”
“Hard and sharp.”
Its durability surpasses even the Noble Phantasms that appear in legends
Its sharpness can cut even gods.
“…Is…The end?”
“That’s it.”
Of course, there is an ability to amplify potential, but it was not mentioned at all.
This won’t be of much help in the current situation where the upper limit of ability is determined by level.
“…Ugh…Still…I thought there was some special power…”
The young lady holds her head in disappointment.
I didn’t say anything
I was secretly looking forward to Bogum’s spectacular appearance.
I wonder if there is some kind of special ability latent in it that can overcome this situation
For example, it is possible to summon the four great spirits or emit enormous shock waves
Things like that.
But it’s just something hard and sharp
One inch of length
It may be a duel between swordsmen who are not satisfied with one sharp grind
It didn’t seem very useful in escaping a village where thousands of orcs resided.
Not the hard and sharp sword we need now
Because it was a weapon optimized for mass murder
Naturally, disappointment soars.
“You think it’s special enough?”
It is a divine sword that even gods cannot dare to destroy.
How can you not call it special?
“It is faithful to its original function, but it is not very helpful in the current situation…”
“…You ignore the dark night too much. Even so, it’s a sword that even cuts down gods.”
“Yes, yes, of course you will. It’s God’s exclusive weapon.”
“I don’t believe it.”
“You have to be trustworthy to believe it!”
I had no choice but to distrust.
The characteristics of a peerless sword that cuts down gods cannot be limited to being hard and sharp
“Anyway, I’ve confirmed that the sword has no particular effect…”
“Hard and sharp.”
“That’s right! Since we’ve confirmed that you have no other abilities other than being hard and sharp, let’s make an escape plan!”
“Are you accepting my offer?”
“As Hans said, there is no other way. Although it is unsatisfactory in many ways… I have to borrow the help of a cat in order to survive, so I have no choice but to accept their offer.”
In one way or another, it was full of bragging and bravado, so it wasn’t trustworthy.
But there was no other way.
In order to survive, I had to borrow at least the power of that braggart.
“It is indeed a wise choice for a daughter of a noble family.”
“It’s okay?”
The young lady snorts quietly.
I find it cute and smile lightly.
“Anyway, let’s just say it together, we are going through life and death and ups and downs, so we can’t do anything about it. I am Jang Seon-woo.”
“It looks like she came from the same place as the hero of the time, judging by the similar feel of the names… The girl’s name is Liatrice Strauss, the daughter of a prominent family… And this is Hans. It is a knight who performs.”
Nodding
Hans bows and bows.
Unlike before, when he was somewhat frivolous, he looked quite restrained.
Seonwoo lightly shakes his head and receives a greeting.
“Hans just calls me Hans, and you call me Lia because my name is Gi, “
Then she looked at the woman who introduced herself as Liatrice and opened her mouth.
“Please call her by her full name! Leah is her nickname that only her family and friends call her!”
Lia was a nickname limited to her family and friends
It’s not a name that strangers who don’t even know each other can call it at will.
“Yes, Leah.”
However, Seon-woo does not bend her opinion at all.
I just say it out loud
“Ugh, I have no intention of listening.”
Lia looks angry.
Because no matter what she said, she never seemed to back down
“…I don’t know, call me whatever you want! Instead, when you leave here, call me by your full name! Nicknames are limited to family, friends, and lovers!”
In the end, she gives in.
“That’s right.”
Seonwoo grinned and removed her mouth.
“…Anyway, it looks like Tongseongmyeong is over…Now let’s make a plan…”
“No, that’s not necessary.”
“Yeah? What is that..”
Lia asks with a puzzled expression.
“It means the plan has already been made.”
Seonwoo opens his mouth in a calm tone.
“Can I share it?”
“It’s simple, I’ll cause a commotion, and you use the commotion to escape.”
“Are you saying you’re going to use yourself as bait?”
“So to speak.”
“No!”
Lia expresses vehement opposition.
“Are you crazy because you want to die? There are at least two thousand orcs! To pretend to be bait in a place like that! That’s an act of suicide!”
This is none other than the center of the village
The number of orcs surrounding it easily exceeds two thousand.
How dare you attract attention alone in such a situation
It was no different from suicide.
This is absolutely unacceptable.
“I’m fine.”
Even if it is impossible to exterminate all orcs
If you combine the hit-and-run method and the level-up system properly, it wasn’t that difficult to take a reasonable amount of time and quit.
Although the ability was greatly nerfed, the vibe from experience did not go anywhere
“It’s not okay at all!”
But Lia is not convinced.
From her perspective her, it was an obvious act of suicide
Because it felt like nothing more or less
“Miss, please just allow it. Isn’t there some kind of solution for saying that?”
Then Hans spoke carefully in a whisper.
“All I have is a solid sword, so what can I do?”
“Isn’t it true that you might be amazingly good at wielding a sword?”
“Even if you are as good with a sword as a sword master, you can’t do anything without magic!”
“That’s true again..”
Hans shakes his head at her rebuttal her.
If you don’t have magic power
A sword master was just a soldier who was good at using a sword
The Archmage was just an intellectual who knew a lot.
The reason a Sword Master or Archmage can demonstrate superhuman skills is only possible because of the existence of magical power.
Therefore, she had no choice but to remain skeptical.
Because I know very well that his magic power is worthless
“I don’t understand. From your point of view, wouldn’t it be best for you to survive if I became bait? Why are you refusing?”
Seonwoo makes an expression as if he doesn’t understand.
From their point of view, there was no reason to oppose.
If you just look at the survival rate
Drawing attention to yourself will actually be beneficial to their survival.
“Because I’m embarrassed.”
“Are you embarrassed?”
“If you take the bait, your chances of survival will definitely increase, and you may even be able to return safely.”
No, you will definitely be able to survive.
Both myself and Hans
Because she had that level of skill
“But I won’t be able to live proudly for the rest of my life. The shame of having survived so pitifully as a nobleman at the expense of others will haunt me for the rest of my life.”
This is a violation of Liatrice’s pride as a noble
I couldn’t tolerate it.
Even if it is a desperate moment
“That’s why I refuse. It’s for my own sake.”
She faces Sunwoo with an unwavering, upright gaze.
In her eyes, you can feel the faith that can never be broken.
“That’s cool.”
Sunwoo is purely amazed.
A steady belief contained in a slender body.
Because it felt wonderful to see that sublime feeling
“Cool..Cool!? What is it all of a sudden? I’m not happy at all even when you praise me like that!”
“Why don’t you lower the corner of your mouth and say something like that?”
“No! This is an award that makes me smile..”
Lia’s face was very red and she waved her hands as if making excuses.
“It doesn’t look that funny…”
“No? Look! You laugh a lot!”
She wrinkles her expression and tries to force a smile.
“Puhahahaha!”
That look is cute
Seonwoo bursts out laughing without realizing it.
“What is it? Why are you laughing!”
At this, Lia blushes even more out of embarrassment and raises her voice.
“Because it’s cute.”
Seonwoo opens his mouth with a sly expression.
“How rude! How cute for an elegant lady!”
Lia is immediately upset by this.
“Then what else can I say?
“In that case, it is said to be elegant and beautiful!”
“I don’t know if it’s elegant?”
Although I agree that it is beautiful.
“That’s really rude!”
“It’s nature, so you can’t help it. Please understand.”
“It’s really the worst!”
Lia huffs at Seon-woo’s unyielding attitude and vents her anger.
‘It feels good to hit.’
I think I know why the guard named Hans is climbing up.
“Anyway, I’m definitely against you becoming bait! Let’s come up with another plan.”
“I refuse.”
“I refuse to accept rejection!”
“I refuse again what I rejected.”
“That rejection… No, why are you so anxious to die!”
Soon, Lia is yelling with her angry face.
As if I’m anxious to die
This was because I became irritated by his stubbornness.
“I think I’m completely mistaken, but I have no intention of dying.”
“Then why do you keep pretending to be bait!”
“Because I’m confident I won’t die.”
“I’m going to die! I’m going to die 100%!”
Isn’t it impossible to handle thousands of orcs?
“I think you underestimate me too much.”
Soon, Seonwoo slowly lowers his sword.
And he swings his sword lightly.
Kugugung Palace
The thick wooden bars collapse in an instant.
At that moment, Lia and Hans’ eyes widen.
A handful of magic power
Just a light sword strike that doesn’t even feel a muscle twitch
Cutting down those thick bars?
How can you not be surprised?
The car that was so surprising
-Kooooo
-Kwaaaaa
-Sigh! Easy profit!
The orcs who were on guard from afar started running.
They noticed something strange when they heard the loud sound of the prison collapsing.
“Hey!”
“Oh..Orc!?”
At this, Lia and Hans’ faces turn dark.
Approximately ten orcs approaching.
It was not a number that could be handled at all in a situation where there were no suitable weapons to fight back.
It appears to be dead, without moving a thing.
Tap, tap, tap
At that time, Seonwoo slowly steps forward with his sword hanging down.
“It’s dangerous!”
Lia tries to stop him, but he doesn’t react.
Just calmly take one step at a time
-Kwaaaaa
-Kweeeeek
Before long, the three orcs in the lead approach right in front of you.
And without any hesitation, they swing the glaive, halberd, and ax they each hold.
“Avoid!”
Lia urgently raises her voice.
But it was already too late.
Because the fierce weapons with sharp edges have already reached close range
Tightly
Leah closed her eyes tightly.
Because she was not confident that she could face the terrible scene that was about to unfold
Gradually, slowly, slowly
Soon, three cutting sounds penetrate my ears.
His body was probably torn to pieces
Wow
Soon, a loud noise is heard and vibration is transmitted to the soles of the feet.
This must be the sound of a torn body collapsing on the floor.
Cooooo
This is followed by two more loud sounds and vibrations.
‘…Three times?’
It is clear that there is only one body, but how can it sound like it is collapsing three times?
Slurring
I cautiously open my eyes out of curiosity.
‘Ah!?’
At that moment, she cannot contain her astonishment.
This is because a completely different scene than expected unfolded before my eyes.
Three orcs lying sprawled on the floor with their bodies mutilated
And a stranger standing firmly in front of him
It wasn’t a stranger who was cut down.
They were orcs.
“I am someone who has reached the limit with the sword, and even though I have become weaker, I am not easy enough to allow a mere orc to kill me.”
Seonwoo continues speaking in a calm tone.
“So believe in me, Liatris.”
The sight goes beyond awe and makes you feel sacred
Lia Tris shakes her head unconsciously.
Sigh
Soon, a satisfied smile appears on Sunwoo’s lips.
