As everyone knows, when I first manifested aura, many people were shocked and teased me.
And for good reason, because the aura of someone who had just awakened should barely wrap around their weapon, but mine was different.
This did not change much even after mastering the Aura Blade; it was just that the shape became distinct, and that was it.
The reason my aura was abnormally massive was probably due to a unique constitution.
I had a hard time controlling it for a long time, and until I learned Unity of Self and Object, control itself was impossible.
Hadn’t even Ash, who had a constitution where mana accumulated just by breathing, said she had never experienced anything like me?
Jjeong!
Then what on earth is this bastard?
Just how is he wielding a huge and beautiful Aura Blade without any hindrance?
Even while blocking the sword of the man suddenly attacking me, I couldn’t settle my confusion.
I wondered if the performance of the sword that person held was outstanding.
Since even the Mythricon I roughly made had the effect of drastically increasing the output of aura.
This guy’s—that is, the gods’ creation—would be even more so, definitely not less.
Hwareureureuk!
As soon as they realized the person rushing at me was an enemy, my companions also immediately took action.
While the man and I were locked in a contest of strength, Lackey and Elia cast magic.
The man also had no intention of taking it with his bare body, as he leaped backward to retreat.
Ttikttik— ttiririk—
Upon retreating, the man tapped his forearm. A mechanical sound was heard in his ear.
It looked like ordinary armor on the outside, but apparently, it was a creation of the gods.
Indeed, hadn’t Aris also wandered here and there wearing armor?
’Could it be a request for backup?’
Whatever it was, I had no intention of waiting around, so I hurriedly rushed forward.
Unfortunately, however, the man had already finished his settings and immediately dealt with it.
Peong!
His massive Aura Blade collided with mine, and an explosion occurred at the same time.
Normally, even when auras collide, only pressure is felt; exploding is a different matter.
Even in the battle with Ash, only shockwaves were generated in the surroundings, and no explosion of the aura itself occurred.
Peong! Peong!
Every time the swords collided, a faint explosion occurred, making my wrist tingle.
It strongly felt as if he was trying to induce me to drop my sword.
However, the more he did, the tighter I gripped my sword.
Right now, I also had many things I wanted to say to the person in front of me.
What your identity is, whether you are truly following the gods’ instructions, and crucially...
ㄴAllfather) I remember now. If my memory serves me right, that person’s name is Friedrich. He is the one who won fame as the Sword Saint 300 years ago. Looking at the size of his aura, it’s certain.
ㄴSword Matstar) The f*cking strong Sword Saint, right? Why is he there?
ㄴStarlight Lady) It’s strange since there are no records of his grave being robbed. Could it be a lookalike, or perhaps his descendant?
As could be seen from the comments, speculation arose that that person might indeed be the Sword Saint from 300 years ago.
A historical figure frequently mentioned by users back when only the size of my aura had grown ignorantly large.
A swordsman who, like me, had an ignorantly massive aura size but was said to have controlled it at will.
Not only this, but also swordsmanship worthy of the title of ’Sword Saint’.
A powerhouse who lacked nothing in terms of physical build, technique, and skill.
Why is such a person fighting me as a puppet of the gods?
I couldn’t understand it at all, but it was a matter to think about after subduing him first.
Kwang!
The other companions also rushed forward to subdue Friedrich.
However, as if the claim of once being the Sword Saint was not a lie, he responded extremely smoothly.
Perhaps because he possessed his original skill along with powerful equipment, it was not easy.
’He certainly doesn’t feel stronger than Ash...’
But he didn’t feel weaker than Ash either.
A feeling of pressing down based on an overwhelming physical build, just like me.
However, he wasn’t just ignorantly pressing down.
Because Friedrich only had an ignorantly large aura size, but also possessed swordsmanship skills worthy of the title of ’Sword Saint’.
’He seems to only be defending so far... Did he make some kind of request for backup when he tapped his arm earlier?’
It was a completely different behavioral pattern from when he clearly said he would ’recover’ us.
As soon as I realized this, I decided to act swiftly.
If he really requested backup, we would have to deal with him quickly before the backup forces arrived.
Seueuk— seuk—
I instructed my companions with hand gestures. If I conveyed it directly in words, the other side might understand.
The companions also realized the meaning of my hand gestures and launched attacks faster than before.
Chwareureureuk!
In the midst of pressing hard, Cain swung his coffin flail violently.
Although Friedrich easily evaded it due to the heavy and sluggish movement, what Cain aimed for was not a direct attack.
Kwak!Read the latest chapters at novelping.com.
It was to bind his body using the chains.
If it had ended with simply binding him, he would have escaped immediately, but.
Jjeojeojeok!
The bound enemy’s body instantly began to freeze.
The chains wrapping the coffin flail harbored a powerful chill.
And it was not a chill that slowly froze from the surface like mine, but one that froze to the bone.
"#$%#!"
"Bind him!"
As his movement stopped, the other companions also joined in the coordination.
First, Elia made the ground slippery, causing Friedrich to trip.
Next, Lackey bound him so that he was firmly fixed to the ground.
No matter how great of an entity he once was as the Sword Saint, an opening was bound to appear under such coordination.
And it was my job to deliver the decisive blow without missing that opening.
While they were coordinating, I immediately notched an arrow on my bowstring.
Paang!
Soon, as soon as a major opening appeared in Friedrich, I released the string.
Although I didn’t chant any verses, it was more than enough time to aim for a vital spot.
The fiercely shot arrow finally.
Kwak!
Struck Friedrich’s head precisely as he struggled to stand up.
As soon as the arrow pierced his head, he trembled violently and then hung his head.
An end more pathetic than expected, unworthy of the title of Sword Saint.
’Is this really something that ends so easily?’
It was slightly absurd.
I know that my martial power, not to mention that of our companions, is strong.
Moreover, since our balance and coordination were good, we could easily win if we pushed with determination.
ㄴHeavenly Demon) It is a bit puzzling. If he held the title of Sword Saint, he would not have fallen in such a futile manner.
ㄴSword Matstar) I agree. He certainly wasn’t weak, so why did he make that kind of judgment?
ㄴDon’t Abandon the Hero) It did feel more like a machine than a person!
The fixed nicknames also did not hide their bewilderment.
They all shared the opinion that he wasn’t weak, but was defeated too easily.
If he were truly the Sword Saint, he would have been highly experienced and skilled at adapting based on that experience.
However, he did not do so at all. Rather, the test subject of the Evolution Laboratory was a much tougher level.
"First, let’s leave here..."
Swieeeeing!
Whatever the case, since we had dealt with him, it was just as we were about to leave.
A bizarre noise was heard from the sky, so I turned my head.
Kuung! Kung! Kung!
Before long, large objects landed on the ground.
They looked like transport pods on the outside, and as soon as I saw them, I took action.
"Hey! Blow those up quickly!"
"I was going to do that even without you telling me!"
There must definitely be something dangerous inside those.
Not to mention myself, the companions did not just watch but immediately launched attacks.
Although we didn’t know what would come out of there, dealing with it quickly was the priority.
Seogeok! Kwang!
Before the entrances of the transport pods could open, we eliminated them immediately, as if nipping them in the bud.
I sliced horizontally or vertically with the Sword of the Heavenly Demon, Cain crushed them with his coffin flail, and the rest burned them to a crisp with magic.
Although we eliminated all the transport pods in this manner.
Kuung! Kung! Kung!
The number of newly falling ones was far greater than what we were eliminating.
If robots had fallen instead, it might have been different, but I could roughly guess what was inside those transport pods.
’Did he fight half-heartedly because they had this much quantity?’
Chwieeeeing—
A pod that we hadn’t been able to eliminate quickly opened.
Soon, a familiar person revealed himself from that opened pod.
A bold-featured appearance with a characteristically angular jaw. Finally, a characteristic frowning expression.
It was a man with the exact same appearance as the Friedrich we had fought earlier.
"Holy shit..."
"P-People are being copied?!"
Just like Elia’s shocked words, a person was literally being copied.
The question ’How?’ arose, but this also had no great meaning.
Since Aragon was currently making a fuss to resurrect—no, ’clone’—the Chief God, this must have been close to an experimental version.
However, there was something more troublesome than that.
"Why is this bastard using a bow?!"You are reading on novelping dot com, the official source.
"Master! This guy uses magic!"
Every single one of them showcased various ’techniques’.
One used archery, another martial arts, another spearmanship, and another magic.
The problem was that the person using these techniques was Friedrich.
Using various techniques with a powerful physical build as a base, it was enough to drive one crazy.
ㄴSword Matstar) Huh? That swordsmanship looks like the Imperial Sword Technique.
ㄴHeavenly Demon) That stance looks like the Plum Blossom Sword Technique of Mount Plum Blossom.
ㄴStarlight Lady) I think I’ve seen that strange ice magic in a book too...
An even bigger problem was that there were many fixed nicknames who recognized their techniques.
And as everyone knows, the fixed nicknames are all individuals who belong to the ’strong’.
For them to use martial arts great enough for such individuals to recognize was no ordinary matter.
’Just how did this happen? How are they using the martial arts of people active outside the Forest of the Four Seasons?’
Kwang!
While I was thinking for a moment, a powerful straight punch struck my abdomen.
Perhaps he had used the Internal Heavy Palm Technique, as the impact pierced through my Body-Protecting Gangqi, causing a pain that penetrated to my flesh.
With a powerful physical build and outstanding martial arts combined, such a bizarre power was produced.
’It’s not to the point where I can’t endure it. However...’
The others are the problem.
We are already outnumbered, and the martial prowess of each and every one of them is extremely high.
Especially unlike just now when they were defensive, the frequency of them charging without caring about their own bodies increased.
Chwaak!
"Argh!"
"Lackey-ssi!"
Proving this, Lackey, who had been holding out firmly, was slashed by a sword and subdued.
Fortunately, it wasn’t a major wound, but he wouldn’t be able to move for the time being.
I also wanted to help them, but with them clinging to me like a swarm of insects, it was no easy task.
Kung! Kung!
What was even more despairing was that transport pods were steadily descending.
Just as my heart was gradually breaking at the difficulty level that had risen far higher than before.
Chwaang!
Along with some noise, the body of the entity threatening Elia was split into several pieces.
Split into pieces, as if struck by the sharp claws of a beast.
And I saw clearly. The identity of what had sliced the opponent to pieces.
It was blue Sword Qi, and moreover, Sword Qi split into several branches.
’No way?’
I immediately turned my head toward the direction the Sword Qi had flown from.
Perhaps sensing some unusual sign, the clones also turned their heads toward that direction.
Soon, what came into view was.
"Master! We have arrived!"
Dolsoe, who had rushed over, perhaps having seen the real-time broadcast, and.
"...."
Bbareumbo, who was presumed to have just shot the Sword Qi, riding on his back.
However, the children were nowhere to be seen; apparently, because the situation was too dangerous, they had no choice but to leave them behind.
This was actually better. If they had brought the children, they would have likely faced even greater danger.
"Ooh...!"
While Dolsoe was great, more than anything, Bbareumbo was the most reassuring.
After a moment, Bbareumbo leaped high from Dolsoe’s back and naturally climbed onto my back.
Now that the reassuring reinforcements had arrived, only one thing remained.
"Kill all those bastards!"
It was simply to wipe out all the remaining clones.
Of course, although the transport pods were steadily bringing reinforcements.
Kung! Kung!
From a certain point, that number became utterly insufficient.
Above all...
Kwang!
When an arrow that missed by mistake struck the floating land.
Umjjil!
I realized that they flinched noticeably.
ㄴPassing Dwarf) Look how reassuring it gets once the master arrives, lol
Hmm.
I can’t deny it.
Because it was true that it had become mind-blowingly reassuring.
’Later, I should earnestly ask Yoo So-wol to make some special Fasting Pills.’
I would gladly become a tree that bears fruit.
