“Phew… … .”

I take a breath and readjust my sword.

And when I had calmed down to some extent, I raised my head and looked at him.

A monster staring at me with its huge golden eyes.

Although the sword I swung caused all the damage to the guy to nothing, the pain I had inflicted on the guy did not disappear.

Because of that, at some point, his eyes stopped looking at me.

Fortunately, the damage caused by Armianon has not been that great so far.

Casualties from Nome’s lightning continued to occur, but the numbers were never high.

If you think about it that way, you might have to say that you are doing quite well against that ridiculous monster.

However.

This fight had to end now.

If we continue like this, there is no chance for us to win.

That’s why I had to kill him.

‘I cut him down in one go… … .’

Hypothesis presented by the scholar of ‘The Scholars of Alundel’.

The hypothesis is that you can kill a guy by cutting him in two with a single sword.

There is no evidence, but it is worth testing.

but.

The problem is that it is not as easy as it sounds.

For me, who has stepped into a new realm, creating a sword is not that difficult.

Also, cutting off Armianon’s head using that sword is not that difficult.

However, if the target is Armianon itself, the story is different.

The reason is simple. Because he’s so huge.

This means that a sword blade is essential to cut the guy’s body, and a sword blade of a corresponding size is needed to cut the guy with a single sword.

‘… Is it possible?’

Honestly, I wasn’t sure.

Even now that sword fighting has become more natural, sword fighting is still a technique that consumes a lot of mana and will.

I honestly wasn’t sure if I could make a sword of that size even if I tried my best.

However.

‘… ‘I have no choice but to try.’

Should be.

No, you have to do it.

If I don’t kill this guy, everyone here will die.

And, probably, we won’t be able to stop the church’s plans.

After organizing my thoughts, I began to infuse magical power and intent into the sword.

Wow─

The sword cried violently from the enormous amount of magical energy.

and.

Seuuuuh─

Sword steel began to bloom from the sword.

At first, it was no different from previous exams.

It was slightly larger than the sword body.

However, as time passed, Geomgang began to grow in size.

When I blinked once, it was already twice the size it was before, and when I blinked a few more times, it was twice that size again.

And, after some time has passed.

A sword of a size that could be described as truly gigantic was surrounding my sword.

“… It’s ridiculously big.”

Ethan, who was quietly watching me from the side, muttered quietly.

The expression on his face was unmistakable surprise.

Ethan is also a warrior who can use the sword sword, so he would know better than anyone else present.

How ridiculous is the size of the sword I’ve just raised?

but. Unfortunately, I didn’t have time to slowly show Ethan the sword lecture.

Because my magic and intent were racing towards the floor in real time.

Geomgang is an inherently inefficient technology, and as its size increases, its consumption increases exponentially.

Therefore, my magical power and will were being consumed at an alarming rate, like water in a bottomless poison.

‘I can’t last much longer in this condition.’

Because I felt that confidence, I was about to move my body.

Pajik!

Lightning flashed.

And at the same time, a bad premonition crossed my mind.

Armianon’s intelligence is by no means low.

So, there’s no way he doesn’t know.

What am I doing, and how dangerous is the sword that sits on my sword right now?

So, I noticed it right away. That he is trying to interfere with me.

In order to maintain a sword room of this size, I need to concentrate all my attention.

And, if that concentration was even slightly disturbed, Geomgang would have disintegrated into pieces.

Pajik!

My prediction came true, lightning struck my head.

In that split second, I was worried.

It is dangerous to be struck by lightning like this.

However, responding to lightning also carries the risk of disrupting your sword skills.

What is the right choice?

In that short moment, a long, long thought ran through my head.

however.

In the end, the worries were meaningless.

bang!

Ethan suddenly intervened and struck down the lightning that fell on me with his sword.

“Even if I can’t provide direct help, I have to do this much.”

Ethan, who easily knocked out the lightning, looked at me and smiled.

That face was really no different from usual, so I ended up laughing a little out of character for the situation.

However, the laughter did not last long.

I calmed my expression and looked away.

Towards Armianon, who is glaring at me with burning eyes.

And then.

Staring straight into the guy’s eyes, I finally swung my sword.

A sword containing a huge sword steel was swung towards the black dragon.

and.

Sigh!

Armianon’s body split apart.

“Okay, that’s it… … !!”

“Finally… … !!”

The voices of people cheering at the sight were heard.

however.

“… Damn.”

Ethan, who was next to him, cursed.

I also felt like pouring out my anger if I could.

At first glance, it looked like my blow had completely cut Armianon in two.

However.

“Uh, uh… ? Um, that… !!”

Sreuk─

Armianon instantly regained his original form, just as he had always done.

‘… ‘I couldn’t cut them all.’

My sword almost cut Armianon down.

However, it could not be completely cut down.

Because of that, Armianon did not lose his breath and was able to regenerate fine again.

“Really… What an unbelievable monster… … .”

A young Ethan’s voice sounded helpless.

I didn’t say anything, but I agreed to what he said.

That black dragon, Armianon, was an absurd monster worthy of being described as a legendary monster.

───────!!

Armianon, who had regained his normal appearance, looked at the sky and cried.

The expressions on the faces of those who witnessed that overwhelming majesty were completely disgusting.

If it were me before, I would have tried to restore their morale by cutting off the guy’s head, but I couldn’t do that now.

Because the sword I swung at Armianon just now was a blow with all my might.

This is not a figurative expression; it was truly a blow that took all of one’s might.

As a result, I was left with only a small amount of magical energy and will.

All I can do with this is briefly create a general sword lecture.

In other words, I no longer had the power to stop him.

It was a time when a shadow was cast in everyone’s hearts.

Puzzle!

Lightning flashed.

However, that lightning was different from previous lightning.

It was not released outside like before, nor did it fall at a certain point and cause harm to people.

The lightning, which had been flashing and scattering destructive energy, eventually began to gather in one place instead of showing off its destructive power.

Towards none other than Armianon’s mouth.

Squeeze!

Sparks flew with unprecedented force, and lightning began to condense from Armianon’s mouth.

As soon as I saw that scene, everyone in the room, including me, realized.

The fact that he is trying to end this fight with one blow.

“… … .”

“… … .”

Everyone in the room was mesmerized and looked at the scene with despairing faces.

It was because I could feel it.

Through energy, through skin.

How ridiculous is the destructive power of the lightning currently gathering through Armianon’s mouth.

Perhaps, beyond annihilating everyone here with a single blow, there is a destructive power within it that could even destroy this space itself.

The moment that lightning is released, everything will end.

“da… it’s over… … .”

I thought as deep despair flowed through the young voice.

I need to stop it.

We have to stop that.

however.

‘… how?’

I have reached my limit.

There was only a small amount of magical power and intention left.

In this state, not only could he not exert his full power, but even if he gathered all his remaining strength, he could not stop Armianon.

However, I couldn’t rely on anyone else.

Even if Ethan, the Silver Knight, or the Blood Flower are in perfect condition, they will not be able to stop Armianon.

at last.

No matter how hard I thought, I couldn’t think of a way to overcome this situation.

Just like that, I was also in a situation where I was about to give up hope.

“This guy and that guy and making faces like the world is over.”

A voice was heard.

A rough voice that makes you think of a wild beast just by hearing it.

And then, a man appeared in front of me.

“You… … .”

The identity of the person who appeared with a cynical tone of voice was someone I also knew well.

Kahim is a tall man with an impressive white hair and a presence that is impossible not to notice.

“It looks like something is messed up.”

Even in an urgent situation where everyone might die soon, Kahim’s face looked calm.

His gaze, which was looking around with a calm gaze, eventually landed on me.

“I guess I should take back what I said about this looking weak. It was an unbelievable monster, right?”

“… … .”

Now that I think about it, I remember hearing that sound the first time I met him properly.

At that time, I would have completely hidden my energy, so it was natural that Kahim wouldn’t be able to recognize me with his skills.

“As expected, I should say that he is the guy that Fana had her eyes on… … .”

Kahim mumbled something to himself as if he was interested, then looked at me intently again.

And then.

“Take it.”

He threw the object he was holding at me.

Although I was taken aback by the sudden action, I immediately accepted the item.

“This is… … ?”

I looked down with a puzzled face and immediately recognized the object’s identity.

“The hero… knife… ?”

Yes, it was a warrior’s sword.

It was contained in the stone box of the warrior Ferdion.

“Why is this suddenly… ?”

I raised my head and looked at Kahim with a puzzled look on my face.

Kahim responded with a look of annoyance.

“That guy kept fussing. Please take me to you.”

“… … .”

The sword asked me to take you there.

What kind of nonsense is that? I was about to ask.

Wow─

The sword in my hand vibrated.

Even though I didn’t infuse it with any magical power or intent.

And that moment.

I heard it.

The voice of the sword.

Wow─

I’m not sure, but the sword was talking to me.

Use yourself.

As soon as I heard that voice, I recognized it.

“Really… The warrior’s sword… … .”

That this is not a fake, but a real hero’s sword.

It was just a hunch, but I felt deeply confident.

Wow─

The sword spoke to me again.

Use yourself.

Use yourself to defeat that dragon.

“… There’s no need to explain.”

I heard Kahim’s voice, but I couldn’t hear it clearly.

Because I was focusing all my attention on the sound of the sword and the voice.

I was looking at the sword as if I was fascinated, and soon my magic power and determination increased.

All of the measly amount remaining in the body.

And, the magical power and intention that arose according to my will began to flow through my body and into the sword.

Wow─

The sword let out a soft, happy cry.

and.

Seuuuuh─

Naturally, a sword rose from the sword.

The sword was not as large as the sword I had tried my best to create.

It just seemed calm and peaceful.

With Geomgang holding the young warrior’s sword, I raised my head.

Squeeze!

The lightning that gathered in Armianon’s mouth was suddenly condensed into a single point, waiting for its moment.

When it breaks free and destroys everything.

yet.

The legendary dragon exhaled.

Quaaa!

Facing a breath made of black lightning that seems to destroy everything in the world.

I swung my sword.

and.

Suddenly─

The dragon split apart.
