105 – Overwhelmed
“Everyone come at once.”
“…Uraaa!!!
“Damn it! No matter how senior you are, you’ll get stabbed!!!”
“Get it done! Just get it done before they get hit!!!”
When I let out my anger by pointing my sword at the frozen students in the other class, several students close to me reflexively attacked me and swung their weapons.
That quick response alone proved that they were also students of Valhalla Academy, where only talented people could enter.
But….
“I was so excited.”
Chaeng!
Just before the sword of the male student who reached me first was swung, I stabbed my sword into the path of the opponent’s sword, forcing the opponent’s sword to bounce and nullifying the attack.
Pushyook-
“…Grrr!”
The powerful slash was canceled out and the male student’s neck was easily cut off with the sword as he was defenseless for just an instant.
Then, the female student, who was right behind the male student who was holding her neck and falling down and turning into light, deflected the ax right before she swung it again.
Suddenly-
From Noble mtl dot com
“Off…!!”
Like the male student in front of him, he cuts at a vital point and takes him down simply.
One kill with two strikes.
It was a simple and efficient swordsmanship that had the maximum effect with the minimum amount of swings, to the point that the students who were watching felt a sense of horror.
“Stop! If you rush in recklessly, you’ll die!!!”
When the other students regained their composure, more than five students had already been eliminated.
However, these people are also among the most talented in a region and are the successors of nobles who have protected the people from vicious monsters with honed force.
Students who have found their cool do not hesitate to turn their backs on those who were hostile to them just now, and focus all their hostility on the dangerous person here.
“Magic type! Each person prepare the most powerful magic!!!”
“Melee workers charge! The wizards take time to chant their magic!!!”
“Don’t relax because we have a lot of numbers! No matter how lucky the opponent was in the match, he is definitely the best! He is a top-level player! I think he is at least a B-rank named monster!!!”
The wizards close their eyes and concentrate on chanting.
The warriors ignite auras on their weapons and charge all at once from all directions, dividing into two groups with a time gap just in case.
“No matter how great you are, if you attack from all directions at once, you won’t be able to stop everything!”
Definitely, as the student said, it is difficult to prevent more than 10 close associates attacking from different directions at the same time without causing damage. Especially if you have a reserve unit just in case.
The brain power of the lightning armor has not yet been recharged, and the time to exchange the gift has not yet passed to use [Hardening].
There is also brain magic that attacks a wide area, but the limited magic power is not enough to defeat everyone.
If it is stiff, you can order it, but since there is a follow-up unit, that would be meaningless.
‘That’s amazing.’
I don’t think it was a team created on the spot, but the teamwork was superior to that of most mercenary units.
No matter what hand signs are currently available, some damage is bound to occur.
‘──In that case, just make a new hand sign.’
I raised sword energy to my sword, took a stance, and increased my concentration.
In a world slowed down to one-tenth by the naturally activated , I remembered the secret intentions of a high-ranking demon cultist who once put me in danger.
It is the deep power of a swift sword that crosses the line and pours out slashes that are close to the surface, 【Instant Rain】.
My superior understanding, which allowed others to compare my magical power and swordsmanship, allowed me to vividly recall the Five Swordsmanship that I had seen once or twice in the past, and all the elements that make up the Five Swordsmanship.
The method of using the five principles was completely understood with excellent understanding.
A trained body was able to fully implement the method it understood.
Then there was no reason not to use it.
Seuuu-!!!
The tip of the sword shook violently like an angry storm, and the five intentions of the swift sword reconstructed by me were realized.
Subtype, type, quick sword, five senses
“──【White Rain】”
Shoo-ah-
A heavy rain of slashes fell from all directions, within a 10-meter radius, centered on me.
Each one of them is engulfed in a sword energy that can cut even an iron plate.
“Quaaa!!!”
“Kyaaa!!!”
Those who were wearing light leather armor for smooth movement were cut to pieces and eliminated without even having time to do anything.
“Cubes! Take! This is crazy…aaah!!!”
The tankers, who were wearing thick iron armor with excellent defense, soon had their armor cut off in an instant by the rain of slashes that increased in density, and eventually they followed the same steps as the others.
After the merciless rain of blades stopped, all that was left was a lot of light dust, which signified the elimination of the competition.
[Function: The level of Increases! (LV 6 ＞ LV 7)]
[Title: You have acquired ‘’……
Acquired [Characteristic: ……
I squinted at the system message that appeared in the corner of my vision and looked around.
“It’s a good thing that the armor’s function was all in the defense…! If I hadn’t, I would have died before I could retreat…!”
“It just so happened that there was a good foothold next to me… Wow! It would have been dangerous if I didn’t have a colleague.”
“Ugh… Sha, Shaxx…! Me, because of me…! Left arm, right arm, left leg, right leg…!”
“Then it’s Dharma.”
“Rather, why weren’t you eliminated?!”
“It’s not something I would say, as I’ve had both arms cut off, but wouldn’t it be mercy to kill him quickly?”
Those in the first line of the melee series were wiped out a long time ago.
Except for two members of the reserve unit, the second group, who were particularly skilled, either were eliminated or collapsed with injuries that made it difficult to move.
‘I’ve never seen those two, but they are at least in the top 50. There will be a lot of tricks, so don’t let down your guard and finish…… ‘
Just as they were about to rush in to finish off the survivors.
I felt a huge flow of magical power and turned my head towards it.
And there, about a dozen wizards were seen pointing their wands in this direction and trying to fire magic.
“Everyone shoot at once!「Daeyeomgu」!”
“「Great Waterfall」!”
“「The Rock Giant’s Conqueror」!”
“「The whirlwind of blades」!”
.
.
.
A barrage of intermediate level magic of various attributes was fired at me all at once.
Dozens of magic spells targeting only me, each with dangerous firepower if hit with superhuman orthodoxy.
If you get swept up in that magic barrage, not even a bone will remain.
Yes. If that’s right.
“【Kukyu Seiryu Edition (極柔世流編)】”
Seuuu-
I drew a smooth line in the air with my sword.
An opaque sword mark of the letter 一 that does not disappear even after the sword passes, remaining in the air.
The moment when a barrage of numerous intermediate magic touches the sword marks.
“What…!?”
“The magic has broken…!?”
All magic bends along the line in the air and naturally passes me by.
“Wow, wow…!!!”
“No eeeh…!!!”
Kwagwagwagwang-!!!
The countless magics that passed by me swept away other students who were unable to move due to injured limbs.
The wizards were momentarily stunned by the completely unexpected team kill.
It was a great gap.
Weeeing-
Pile up sword energy layer by layer on the sword you are holding.
The magic power that makes up the sword energy is tightly woven together as if weaving a net, and the density of the sword energy gradually increases.
When less than a second has passed, the thing surrounding the sword is a dark blue sword energy that looks like the sea.
I ‘shot’ it towards the place where the wizards were gathered, dozens of meters away.
Saaagh-!
The dark blue sword energy that left the sword quickly ran through the air, cutting through the wind without breaking its original form.
A sword technique that directly ignores the property of magical power, which is that when it falls from the body, it quickly disperses into the air.
Function: It was a high-level art that could only be used once Reached the level of master (LV7).
“Crazy…!? Avoid everyone!! It’s a flying sword energy!!!”
“Even in my family’s knight order, only the knight leader can use it?! How can a first year student like me use that?!”
“When you’re surprised, chant defensive magic! You idiots!!!「Hard Rock Wall」!
“「Flame curtain」!”
“「Susun」!”
“「Spiral whirlwind」!”
.
.
.
With the blue crescent moon rapidly approaching towards them, the wizards were distraught but quickly used defensive magic.
Wall of rock, shield of flame, shield of water, barrier of wind… Etc. Dozens of defensive magic blocked the wizards’ path….
Suddenly-
“A billion…!”
“Ugh…!”
The deep blue sword continued to move forward, cutting through everything, dividing the wizards from top to bottom.
“I lived, I lived…!”
“Is it really a lie to say that that monster is in the same first year as me…!?”
There were some who were lucky enough to escape by falling to the ground….
“「Brain gun」.”
“”Ah.””
Quarring!
As if he had already expected it, he was immediately reduced to ashes by the brain magic fired as a chase blow.
“Then…”
I shook off the thrilling brain power that still remained in my hands and turned my attention to the two strong men who were still alive.
A woman with an androgynous appearance who sounds more like a handsome man than a beautiful woman, and a tall man with a slim physique.
The woman seemed to be a fighter, wearing thin cloth clothes that covered her entire body, and sturdy-looking steel gaiters and gauntlets.
The man was wearing neutral-colored clothes that looked like night clothes, a belt with daggers hanging around his waist, and a pair of daggers with green liquid flowing out of them.
“The only ones left are you two.”
“…What an intimidating feeling. It feels like I’m standing before my very eyes with a real B-grade name.”
“…I wish I had collapsed earlier.”
When I spoke to the two people in a calm, focused manner, they broke into a cold sweat and concentrated on my every move.
“Then will you voluntarily be eliminated?”
“No. Even if I look at it like this, I’m ranked 40th in my grade. I can’t do that for the sake of face.”
“I can’t give up without a fight as I’m ranked 35th!”
The two people who flatly rejected what I said as a joke lowered themselves low and rushed towards me at the same time.
“Well, I guess so.”
I shrugged my shoulders and rushed towards them.
