The blue sword that boasted a dazzling light scattered in the air and disappeared, leaving behind only a sword with a white body.

Crumbling… … .

The wolf saw the scene and let out a low cry.

I don’t know if it was my mood, but I felt like there was a mixture of puzzlement in its cries.

Maybe he also recognized that sword skills were quite threatening.

If that’s really the case, it would mean that the guy’s intelligence is higher than we thought.

With those thoughts flowing to the back of my head, I returned my consciousness to the sword.

and.

I began to focus my consciousness and instill my thoughts.

There was also a mixture of intentions in the previously formed sword technique.

However, it is literally just ‘mixing’ the magic power to increase its efficiency. Thought was not the main focus.

But now, I am purely putting my thoughts into the sword.

Also, it was so thick and large that I wouldn’t normally use it.

The thoughts instilled into the sword are concentrated strongly.

It condenses and compacts the intangible will as if to create something tangible.

Wow─

Although no magical energy was injected into it, the sword let out a clear cry in response to the deep intention.

And as time passed, a huge amount of intention was infused into the sword.

An invisible blade created with intention appeared around the sword.

Although it was not visible to the eye and the criminal could not feel it, there was clearly a blade there.

After confirming that the sword made with intention was completely in place, I finally infused magical energy into the sword.

Ugh!

The sword’s cry became louder.

And, an incomparable amount of magic flowed into the sword compared to when making the sword.

The magical power that flowed in like that was absorbed into the blade created with the intention.

As if pouring water into a bottomless pot, he poured out his magical power for a long time.

Sussss─

Finally, a bluish light rose from the sword.

However, the shape of the light was different from the sword that had scattered moments before.

Although the sword had the shape of a sword, it had the feeling that it was all light, but what was now created was closer to the feeling that it was another blade made of light.

It really feels like a new sword made of light has been created.

“… … .”

I looked at the safely created blade of light with new eyes.

This was a new technique I created after I reached the state of consciousness.

As for the sword technique itself, in fact, martial arts that can use it are not that rare.

You can make it once you reach a certain level.

However, the concentration, power, and sustaining power differ depending on the skill.

However, what I have in my hands right now is a technique that cannot even be attempted, let alone created, if one cannot use intention.

The minimum condition for attempting something, not making it, is the state of intention.

On the outside, this may only appear to be a clearer sword, but the reality is different.

You can think of it as a completely different technique from swordsmanship.

I didn’t learn it from anyone, it’s a technique I created myself, so I don’t really have a name for it, but if I had to give it a name… Yes, is it right to call it Geomgang (劍罡)?

Suddenly, I remembered the martial arts magazines I read when I was on Earth, and let out a small laugh that did not suit the situation.

In fact, although it is a technology I created, there is no guarantee that there will not be others who have learned this technology.

It is possible that other warriors of the Ten Swords are already familiar with it.

However, I didn’t think the possibility was very high.

This technique is a foreign and difficult technique, even to my eyes, which have reached a state of complete insanity.

It’s not my intention to paint my face with gold, but it’s a technique I’ve managed to create with the talent I’ve heard rave reviews from Ethan.

Probably, even if there are people who have learned it, the number will not be that many.

I think that those who are expected to be at a higher level than me and have reached the top of the Ten Swords have at least a chance.

‘… Well, isn’t it important now?’

Now is not the time to question the originality of this technology.

There is no way I can enjoy that kind of leisure.

‘also… Consuming magical power is no joke.’

There is a reason why I have not used this technique until now.

This is because the magical power consumption is at a serious level compared to the sword.

It’s hard to say that Geomgi itself is a very efficient technique, but Geomgang goes a few steps further.

To the point where I feel like pouring water into a bottomless pot is not a metaphor.

I don’t know if it’s Ethan or other warriors of the Ten Swords, but I can’t sustain this level of magical energy consumption for a long time.

Basically, it’s because the magic power it possesses is low.

Compared to my level, my magical power would be quite low.

The reason is, paradoxically, because the level has risen too quickly.

Unlike the level where you can progress rapidly depending on your skills and talents, magical power is truly created over time.

Basically, the longer a person has learned radishes, the more magical power he has.

There is a method called elixir, but there is no way that I, who grew up in a commoner family, would be able to mention such a thing.

Ever since I was young, I’ve been wandering around the surrounding mountains and trying to find anything that resembles an elixir, but as if elixirs aren’t elixirs for nothing, I couldn’t even find anything similar.

The speed of magical power accumulation varies from person to person, and I am confident that I am quite fast among them, but the amount of magical energy accumulated over just 10 years without a country or elixir is far from the amount of magical energy of other Ten Sword-class warriors. .

… Well, anyway, the point is that we have to settle the matter quickly.

Because I can’t keep the examination for a long time.

That’s why I am.

fault!

I immediately left the place.

Crunch!

The wolf missed my move again.

However, this time, I didn’t feel as much panic in the crying as I did before.

It’s probably because he confirmed that my attack wouldn’t cause much damage to him.

You may be thinking that even if it’s annoying, you can just shoo it away with its tentacles.

I decided to make him regret his arrogance.

With that mindset, I swung my sword at the legs of the guy who was suddenly approaching me.

Previously, the attack would have ended with a long wound and some bleeding.

Suddenly!

I cut off half of his leg in one go.

─────!

The wolf screamed louder than ever before.

‘I shouldn’t have let my guard down like that.’

No, now that I think about it, even if I hadn’t let my guard down, the result would have been the same.

He could never keep up with my speed, and whether he was caught off guard or not, getting cut was a foregone conclusion.

Anyway, I took the chance.

In that case, rather than filling your head with useless thoughts, it would be important to make the most of this opportunity.

I swung my sword again before the wolf came to his senses and could do anything.

Towards the guy’s half-cut, shaky legs.

Because it moves like crazy, the position of its legs is constantly changing, but it’s not even a problem to just aim at it and cut it.

In the end, my sword swung towards his leg again.

Suddenly!

With a clean cutting sound.

This time, I completely cut off his leg.

Wow!

The thing screamed again.

And at the same time, the tentacles began to multiply and attack the surrounding area at random.

It seemed like it was because I didn’t have time to pinpoint my location precisely because of the pain.

But even so, the tentacles were enough of a threat.

Because it is so large and has so many numbers, my radius of action becomes extremely narrow just by swinging it roughly.

In fact, just a little while ago, those tentacles were causing the distance to widen.

but.

The story is different now.

“Inhale!”

Temporarily adjust the gum cavity to make it longer and thinner. And in that state, he swings it wide horizontally.

Sigh!

With that single swing, all the tentacles that had been swung indiscriminately were cut off.

Of course, this does not completely resolve the tentacle problem.

Soon those tentacles will grow back to normal.

There was just a momentary gap.

But I wasn’t discouraged.

Because that was what I was aiming for in the first place.

Because my purpose was to create that moment of space.

Now that it has lost its tentacles, it has no way to resist anymore.

He couldn’t keep up with my speed with his senses, and he had lost one foot and lost his balance to struggle and resist.

in other words.

It’s the perfect time to slit his throat.

I smiled as I looked at the huge head of the wolf that was suddenly visible in front of me.

Wow!

As if it had finally recognized me, it let out a roar full of anger.

I didn’t even look at that guy and swung my sword straight at his neck.

Wow!

It must have realized that it was in danger, and it let out an urgent roar.

And at the same time, something that looked like an eerie tentacle-like material covered my entire body.

That unpleasant thing first twitched like a tentacle, but soon hardened and settled down completely.

Like armor that protects one’s body from enemies.

Perhaps this is another one of his abilities.

It may not seem like much on the outside, but it is a monster’s ability comparable to that of a disaster-level monster.

There is no way that armor made by someone with a strong body can be weak.

Maybe it’s so hard that even a sword blade can barely scratch it.

but.

Even with something like that in front of me, my expression didn’t change.

Without panicking, I swung my sword straight at his neck.

The sword blade made with intention and magic that was in contact with such strong armor.

Like a sword cutting through water, it penetrated the armor without much resistance.

Grrr?!

Only then did the wolf, who realized something was wrong, try to twist his body in a short burst of anticipation, but it was already too late.

The sword penetrated through the armor and into the guy’s flesh, and I cut straight through it.

Suddenly─

A soft cutting sound rang out.

thud!

The huge head, which had lost its support, fell onto the ice and made a loud sound.

Push!

Lately, blue blood spurted out from the cut surface like hot spring water.

And then followed.

thud!

The massive body lost its balance and fell down on the thick ice.

When I saw that, I slowly tried to withdraw my sword.

It stopped midway and quickly rolled on the floor.

bang!

And then a tentacle came down on the place where I was standing just a moment ago.

“… Ha.”

I adjusted my posture again, stood up, and looked ahead, feeling dumbfounded.

Beyond the scattered ice powder, tentacles were flowing out from the severed neck and the cut surface of the headless body, moving closer towards each other.

I knew what that meant without having to take the time to think about it.

That he’s not dead yet.

I shook my head at its persistent vitality and approached its head, avoiding the tentacles rushing towards me again.

In this state, it is impossible to know how strong this guy’s life force is or what he must do to die.

There is no way to investigate.

therefore.

For now, I decided to do the method that came to mind.

If you can’t die by cutting off your head, how about turning your head into powder?

With that thought in mind, I held my sword firmly again.

As if they had read my thoughts, the tentacles became even more luminous and threatened me.

Unfortunately for him, I was much faster to begin with.

I swung my sword before the tentacles could reach me.

Not just once, but twice, three times, four times, until it exceeds double digits.

When my sword finally stopped.

The wolf’s head went somewhere, and all that remained was the blue blood that soaked the area and pieces of flesh.

The head, which was the vital point and center of the creature, was cut off and further shattered into pieces.

If it were an ordinary living creature, it wouldn’t be a strange wound even if it died three times.

However.

Shhh!

bang!

The tentacles did not stop working.

“… It’s really absurd.”

Even though his head was cut, and his head was torn into shapeless pieces, he still survived.

I felt a feeling that cannot even be expressed in words.

This is an absurd level of vitality.

Even among disaster-level monsters, there probably isn’t one as tough as this one.

Considering that, I think it’s definitely a monster from another world.

In the end, if we don’t do something about that body, it will mean that he won’t die.

So what should we do?

Time is running out to cut off that body one by one, just like cutting off the head.

Because Geomgang’s ridiculous consumption of magic power is still strangling my neck.

If I do something like that, my magic power will be cut off before I can cut off that bastard’s neck.

Then you really won’t be able to kill that guy.

so that.

I made a choice.

Let’s finish it in one shot.

“Phew… … .”

Instead of holding the sword with one hand, I hold it with both hands.

And, in a way that doesn’t look out of place, I spread my legs wide and assume a posture.

Just like the posture that someone learning to wield a sword for the first time learns.

It would be easier to stretch the sword like a stick of taffy and cut it down in one go, but I don’t have the magic power to do that.

No, on the contrary, it is now difficult to even maintain one’s sword strength.

So you have to use another method.

Shhh!

Seeing the tentacles wriggling and trying to attack me without getting tired, I activated my intention and magical power to the maximum.

Fortunately, there is a suitable technique for this situation.

The technique I used when blocking Ethan’s full-power attack the day before.

In some ways, this is a similar technique to geomgang.

Because it is a technique that relies primarily on intention, not magic power.

Raise your thoughts and will.

And then pull it out of the body.

The meaning of will is will.

The state of taking it out and creating a miracle is the state of intention.

Will resides in my body.

The will to cut.

Only the will to cut down the opponent in front of him.

A strong, united will goes beyond influencing the world and looks beyond the world one step ahead.

Literally, we want to create a miracle.

And that will is finally released into the world through the medium of magic.

Huh ─

From top to bottom, the sword was swung.

Just calmly.

Without sharpness or ferocity.

A gentle, ordinary swing that made you wonder if it could properly cut down a haystack like that.

Wow!

It split the ice of the lake all the way to the bottom, and soon even the ugly, struggling body of the monster was split in two.
