Chapter 150 Imperial Palace of Chaos (4)
I defeated Caleon Ignias in the East and got the loot.
Like Usrecht, it was an ancient artifact called ‘Nipple Gadir’.
The Nipple Guardir had the ability to reabsorb the mana it released, but when I equipped it, the latent ability was unlocked and it evolved into ‘Magic Control’.
Because Mana Seizure can absorb not only one’s own mana, but also the mana of others, I was able to make the mana emitted by Carleon my own.
The result of practicing magic as much as possible with the SS rank black heaven magic technique… A large amount of mana, far exceeding the majority, settled in my mana heart.
‘Nipple Gadir’s ability to seize magical power… It seemed to even improve the efficiency of magic training.’
I had already taken Amrita and had magical powers above the average grade level.
The magic of the keel has been added to this… It has truly possessed enormous magical powers.
Carleon was in a state where his mana hadn’t settled down properly, but I’m not like that either.
When combined with Nipple Gadir, it was possible to freely unleash a wide range of attacks like Di Inferno.
‘Cervest’s White Flower Swordsmanship… White Flower Sword Lin!’
Baekhwa Black Lin.
The technology I created myself to fight Carleon was deployed.
A large number of blades of ice as thin as scales overlapped, taking on a wriggling shape like a plain sword.
However, it wasn’t a size that could only cover a narrow range like when fighting Carleon.
He was creating a gigantic Bingryong that could withstand Archbishop Catoleas’ heavenly sword, which ravaged the entire space.
“Keuuugh!”
Katoleas let out a groan and deployed the sword of the Heavenly Hand even louder.
Dark red tentacles rushed in from all directions to devour White Hwagumrin.
“… … !”
Papa pat!
Baekhwagumrin twisted his body roughly like a living dragon and tore the Cheonsu sword.
This was possible because the Baekhwa Sword was stronger and sharper than the Cheonsu Sword.
“You bastard, how can you… … !”
Katoleas opened her eyes wide and raised her voice.
But I couldn’t afford to answer.
It was because I had to focus my attention on controlling the White Hwagumrin.
‘As the mana increases, control becomes more difficult.’
I felt sweat running down my body.
Although her mana has greatly increased, she is still not accustomed to pouring all that mana into control.
If you lose concentration, the white fire gumrin will shatter and scatter.
‘furthermore… Catoleas’ magic control is superior to Carleon’s.’
It hadn’t been long since Carleon had absorbed the magic of the keel.
Therefore, even when using The Inferno, there were immature parts.
On the other hand, since Catoleas had possessed a large amount of magical power from a fairly long time ago, he was able to skillfully use techniques such as the Skysword.
‘If you don’t keep your senses… I get hurt!’
Papa pat!
Baekhwageomrin danced in the air and fought with the heavenly beast sword.
Since the Cheonsu Sword can attack a wide range from multiple directions at the same time, it was difficult to counter without deploying the White Flower Sword.
It would be nice if I could release the cold air of Cervest’s white fire sword technique and freeze Catoleas along with the celestial sword technique… It was difficult until now with my skills.
‘All I can do right now is to defend myself by freezing the strands of the sword that are targeting my blind spots.’
Currently, the range at which I can emit cold air and freeze… A radius of about 5 meters around me.
More than that seemed to require more training.
‘So, with White Flower Gumrin… … !’
Wow!
Baekhwageomrin and Cheonsoogeomgi had a fierce fight.
When fighting Carleon, he could freeze the sword of flame and make it a part of White Hwagumrin, but he couldn’t do that now.
The ability to control a large amount of magical power was because Catoleas was superior to Caleon.
“This kid… … !”
Catoleas roared.
The fiercer Cheonsu Swordsmen rushed in from all directions and tried to swallow the White Hwagumrin.
Now that he had become accustomed to the White Flower Swordsman, he was blocking the White Flower Swordsman’s movement by manipulating the Heavenly Hand Sword more skillfully than before.
But, I got used to it, too.
‘I can pierce it!’
Cuckoo!
While wriggling like a living dragon, White Hwagumrin dug into the gaps in the Cheonsu sword.
Numerous strands of sword energy tried to subdue Baekhwagumrin, but they penetrated the fine gap and broke through.
“Ugh… … !”
A dragon of ice that rushes through the heavenly sword.
Seeing that, Catoleas opened her eyes wide and flung herself.
However, the speed at which White Hwagumrin approached was faster.
“Keugh… … !”
At that moment, Catoleas switched the Skysword Sword into defense mode.
Numerous strands of sword energy wrapped around Catoleas, taking the form of a shield.
It could be said that it was a development of Archbishop Arteklas’ past defense with the dark angel’s double sword technique.
“… … !”
coo kung!
White Hwagumrin collided with the shield of the Heavenly Hand Sword.
Since it was concentrated in one place, its defensive power was beyond imagination.
At the moment of the collision, the white fire sword was thrown out, and the shock was transmitted to my body.
“Kuh… … !”
“Ugh!”
However, the shock was transmitted to Catoleas as well.
Inside the dark red shield, I could see Catoleas moaning.
While taking the shock, I continued to attack with the white fire sword.
* * *
‘Ernas Landstein… I’m not an ordinary guy!’
Catoleas bit his lip inside the shield of the Heavenly Hand Sword.
I already knew that Aernas reached its peak and defeated Carleon and others, but it was much stronger than I expected.
‘This guy’s magic power is… surpass me!’
I could tell just by looking at the ice sword that Aernas was spreading.
It was extremely compressed mana and frozen, but it seemed to contain more mana than all of Katoleas’s swordsmanships.
How the hell can I get this magical power?
‘Aernas… Could it be that he didn’t take soma?’
Soma, an elixir produced by the Black Heaven Demonic Cult, is more effective than Elixir.
Serious side effects can occur, but you can gain more magic power than taking an ordinary elixir.
Could it be that Aernas is the heir to the famous swordsmanship family of the Empire, but also a heretic who took Soma?
‘Damn it… I looked down on Aernas too much.’
However, it is not without a win.
Looking at Catoleas, it seemed that Aernas had stolen the sword from an ordinary knight of the Iron Blood Knights and was using it.
Although it is a sword for graduates, it is not a sword made with a lot of true silver like the sword of Catoleas.
That is why… There are limits.
‘If Aernas continues to use powerful techniques like now… The sword has no choice but to break.’
Even Catoleas does not use an ordinary sword when performing the Dark Sky Sword Art.
It’s because the normal sword can’t stand the celestial sword.
Even if it can last for a few minutes, it eventually breaks.
The same would be true of Aernas.
‘so… Just hold on!’
It was fortunate that Aernas’ usual sword had been confiscated.
If she persists like this, Aernas will be the first to destroy herself.
If you take advantage of that moment and counterattack, Catoleas will win.
From noble mtl dot com.
“Aww… … !”
Catoleas waited for the right time while enduring the sword of the ice that continued to pour down.
and… … .
“… … !”
Papapat!
I heard the sound of ice breaking.
It wasn’t like an illusion.
Catoleas’ senses, the pinnacle grader, accurately sensed that the ice sword that had been attacking the heavenly sword’s defense just before had been shattered.
‘Now!’
Catoleas decided to attack.
The moment I spread the Cheonsu Sword, which I had compressed to protect my body, I saw pieces of ice that were scattered.
‘also… … !’
Thinking that his prediction had come true, Catoleas stretched out his swordsmanship.
In order to defeat Aernas, who was devastated with his sword broken, in one blow.
“… … ?!”
That moment.
Catoleas doubted his eyes.
Ernas… It was because he was still holding the sword.
“why… … .”
Shortly after Catoleas felt questioned.
Suddenly, strange noises began to be heard all around.
It was the sound of ice fragments scattered around.
“… … ?!”
Shaaa!
Countless pieces of ice dug in between the celestial swords.
Since the cheonshui sword had been released from defense mode and was spreading around, there were many gaps to penetrate.
ice cubes… No, the blades of ice raged like a storm and attacked Catoleas.
“Aagh!”
Catoleas screamed at the unexpected surprise.
I hurriedly tried to respond with the heavenly sword, but I couldn’t stop it if the small ice was swirling around.
Since the blades of ice were already ravaging his body, it was meaningless to create a shield by compressing the celestial sword like before.
In the end, the countermeasures Catoleas can take… It was to recover the mana used in the Cheonsu Sword and strengthen the self-defense device.
“… … !”
But, at that moment.
Between the weakened swordsmanship, Aernas could be seen jumping in.
A golden aura spread across the blade.
“this… … !”
I realized that I had been tricked by Aernas’ strategy, but it was too late.
A sword shining golden struck Catoleas.
* * *
In order to defeat Catoleas, he had to destroy the celestial sword.
However, Catoleas possesses a large amount of magical power, and is familiar with the Dark Sky Celestial Swordsmanship.
It was difficult to defeat the sword of the heavens with a straight attack method, so a strategy was needed.
‘That’s why, it’s disguised as if the White Hwagumrin was broken.’
White Hwagumrin is an aggregate of countless ice blades.
Even if it is shattered, it can be remotely controlled using the same principle as sword swordsmanship.
Catoleas thought that the White Hwagumrin had shattered and released the shield, but at that moment a storm of ice blades blew up.
In such a situation, the only countermeasure that Catoleas could take was to strengthen self-defense.
The problem is that in order to strengthen the self-defense weapon, the mana that was invested in the sword must be brought back.
Thanks to that, the sword of the heavenly hand was weakened, and there was a gap for me to dig into.
‘Even if it’s in a state where self-defense has been strengthened, if it’s the Pacheon Sword River… … !’
The Pacheon Sword is a sword that boasts the strongest destructive power created by applying the Waltfelt Vajrapani sword technique.
Even if Catoleas strengthens his self-defense equipment with tremendous magical power… enough to penetrate.
“Keugh… … !”
Cuckoo!
After destroying the self-defense machine, the sword of the sword dug into Catoleas’ right shoulder.
However, digging into the shoulder wasn’t enough.
“hahahaha… … !”
I mobilized all the magic power remaining in my mana heart and maximized my strength.
I put all my strength into the sword dug into Catoleas’s shoulder.
“Ahhhhh… … !”
At that moment, the sword I was using reached its limit.
It could not withstand my magic and shattered.
But already… Catoleas’ right arm had been torn off.
“Keugh, heouk… … .”
Catoleas groaned and stumbled.
Seeing that, I grabbed a new sword.
It was Catoleas’ sword that fell to the floor along with Catoleas’ arm.
“Come to think of it… This sword must have been used by the real leader Saphias.”
“… … !”
He raised his sword once more towards the startled Katoleas.
It’s not even a one-sided relationship, but this will be revenge for the leader Saphias.
“Die with the sword of Captain Saphias, Archbishop Catoleas.”
“Eh, Ernas Landstein… … !”
Towards the screaming Katoleas, once again the power of the broken sword unfolded.
