< Chapter 76 - Ultimate One #3 >
&
The Sword Seeker craftsmen who created the Ultimate Seven series were, like the great ancient dwarves, possessed an excessive craftsmanship and an eccentric temperament that surpassed that of modern dwarves.
Naturally, their tendencies were fully reflected in their works, and thanks to this, the seven swords created under the plan to create the ultimate sword all had at least one extreme aspect.
“Koooo!”
A giant rock troll howled and threw a rock the size of a house.
It was a terrifying attack that seemed like it could even destroy the castle walls, but unfortunately, the enemy’s defenses were better than the castle walls.
Kwakang-!
The rock that collided with the pure white barrier shattered into pieces, as is often the case when something hits something harder.
Gamor Khan, who had erected a huge pure white shield to block the rock, did not miss his opportunity. He charged forward and leaped, swinging the huge kite shield attached to his right arm – Grand Order – towards the rock troll’s chest.
bang!
It shattered the rock troll’s chest with a tremendous noise.
It was the result of the combined strength of Gamor Khan, which was incomparable to that of ordinary Borg, and the force field of his shield sword, which was stronger than a castle wall.
thud!
Gamor Khan, who had settled down next to the rock troll that had collapsed, let out a ragged breath and pulled at his right arm.
A flash of light appeared from the kite shield, large enough to cover Gamor Khan’s massive body, and then the pure white force field disappeared.
Shield Sword Grand Order.
Although it normally appeared to be an ordinary greatsword, this was merely a convenience for carrying and was not the true form of the Grand Order.
A giant kite shield with a greatsword blade at the end of it.
The current form, which combines the Rift Sword, also known as the Wrist Sword, and the inverted triangle-shaped Kite Shield, could be said to be the true form of the Grand Order.
All in one.
Silver Fortress, one of the seven guilds of Sword Seekers, sought to create the ultimate sword through a balance of offense and defense.
However, like the ancient dwarves, at some point they began to focus more on defense than offense, and eventually the shield sword we see today was born, which looks like it was all-in on defense to anyone who sees it.
“Kha······.”
Gamor Khan took a deep breath and looked around.
Beyond the remains of a dozen rock trolls, the corpses of dozens—no, hundreds—of monsters were rolling around on the ground.
“Fuck.”
Among them were Borg from the Black Hand mercenary group, Gamor Khan’s subordinates.
Judging by the fact that there was barely any fighting, it seemed that the men he had brought were virtually annihilated.
“Ha, shit.”
It was so absurd that I almost laughed.
Even though there were hundreds left for the men to return to the south, the home base of the Black Hand mercenaries, losses were still losses.
Moreover, Gamor Khan himself could not carry out the orders of the Dragonlord Malekith if he remained.
He would have to either return to base or send a message to call out his men.
‘I can’t just go.’
Gamor Khan looked down the mountain, stroking the golden necklace with purple gems.
A small village appeared at some distance from Mount Damos, where there were many monsters.
They barge in, kill them, and try to salvage something.
With so many monster corpses on Mount Damos, it’s possible they could be fooling us.
It was a very petty idea for a leader of a large mercenary band and one of the infamous Five Evils of the South, but it was also very Gamor Khan-like.
‘Is that guy Jacques dead too?’
That’s a bit of a shame.
He was quite smart and knew a lot.
But you never know.
Gamor Khan looked around for a moment and then opened his mouth to call Jacques’ name.
But it was just at the moment when I was about to scream.
Gamor Khan flinched involuntarily.
To be exact, Gamor Khan’s right arm – the shield and sword Grand Order – began to tremble.
Resonance phenomenon.
I’ve experienced it before, just once.
That’s why I could tell, and that’s why I was confused.
Behind the back.
Another Ultimate Series that is causing resonance.
Gamor Khan quickly turned around, and frowned involuntarily.
A black-haired young man standing alone over there made him frown.
It wasn’t because the young man’s appearance was outstanding enough to be seen even with Borg’s eyes.
It wasn’t even a thought that the young man in front of me might be the culprit of this incident.
The reason is much simpler than that.
A question that naturally arose as I felt the resonance of the Ultimate Series.
“Bare hands?”
The young man with his arms outstretched had nothing in his hands.
&
Even without Cordelia specifically telling him, Uther knew.
It would have been much better to launch a surprise attack.
The fastest and easiest way to attack was to hit the back of the head while they were fighting monsters.
But I didn’t do that.
The fact that the surprise attack was likely to fail from the start due to the resonance phenomenon was only a secondary reason.
If that’s the case, then there was no reason to put off the option of fighting alongside Cordelia.
Ultimate One – Sword Origin
The ultimate sword created by Black Horn, one of the seven guilds of Sword Seekers.
Uder exhaled slowly. He still felt a slight sense of unfamiliarity and discomfort in his fingertips, but the sensations would soon disappear.
‘Unification of the New Sword,’
An idea conceived by the ancient dwarves of Black Horn.
The concept they pursued to create the ultimate sword.
The beginning was fairly normal, as with other Ultimate series.
If you want to know what the ultimate sword is, shouldn’t you first talk to the ultimate inspector?
So, Eitri, the leader of the Black Horn, went to see the Fairy Swordsman Velencia, the strongest swordsman at the time, and asked about the ultimate sword.
“What is the ultimate sword?”
“Shin Geum-Uni-Il. It is the state where the sword and I become one.”
Eitri asked about the sword as a weapon, but Velencia, like a swordsman, explained it as a level of swordsmanship, and this is where the misunderstanding began.
“The sword and I become one.”
I become a sword.
I am the sword, and the sword is me.
Eitri was an ancient dwarf, and his companions and subordinates were also ancient dwarves.
That’s why they interpreted the words of Velencia in such an ancient dwarven way.
“Then I will make the user a sword!”
It wasn’t my intention to make a sword using the test material.
It was said that the inspection would be made into a being like a sword.
Human blacksmiths – no, even the dwarves of today would shake their heads and say, “What nonsense is that?” But unfortunately, and wonderfully, the ancient dwarves had the skills and abilities to make this ridiculous thing happen.
‘Ultimate One – Sword Origin.’
Unlike other Ultimate series, this is the ultimate sword that becomes one with the user and cannot be unequipped until death.
A smile appeared on Yuder’s face. His heart pounded due to the resonance phenomenon.
Gamor Khan was never weak.
In terms of technology, it was so crude that it was impossible to compare it to the Ten Swordsmen, but at least in terms of physical ability, it was superior to the average Ten Swordsmen.
But I wasn’t afraid. I didn’t feel like I couldn’t win like I did when I faced the Guardian of the Nation or the First Sword.
“Let’s get started.”
As always, the beginning is a rush of trust.
With the thunder, Yuder’s spirit disappeared. It was a speed that was difficult to follow with the eyes, but the opponent was Gamor Khan.
“bloke!”
Gamor Khan’s physical abilities, augmented by the Grand Order, responded to Uther’s speed.
Moreover, the resonance between the Ultimate Series helped to more clearly identify Uther’s position.
Gamor Khan did not raise his shield.
Instead of unfolding the field and boasting the strongest defensive power in the Ultimate series, he tried to cut through Yuder’s body that was rushing towards him with the blade of the shield sword.
The strengths of the lift blade.
Great strength and greater speed that can be fully harnessed by swinging the arm itself.
The orbit was accurate.
The speed was also appropriate.
The power contained was also sufficient.
That’s why Gamor Khan could hear.
Kang!
The sound of blocking a shield sword.
The sound of blocking a shield sword head-on, rather than sending it away, brushing it away, or dodging it.
Uther’s left arm blocked the blade of the shield sword.
Uther’s brute strength withstood the might of Gamor Khan.
And it didn’t end there. Yuder, who was standing firmly as if rooted to the ground, moved his arm. He seemed to be laying his arm over the blade of the shield sword, but then he pushed the shield sword down. At the same time, he swung his right arm widely.
Skaat!
Gamor Khan’s chest was cut off.
Gamor Khan focused his aura on his chest for a moment to defend himself, but it wasn’t perfect. His chest was split open and blood flowed out.
The union of the new swords.
Makes the user’s body like a sword.
Make it strong and sharp enough to stand up to a sword.
The capital of Yuder, imbued with black energy, was like a blade.
Yuder’s limbs were able to stand up to the swordsmen even without the black dragon’s aura.
It was a dreamlike sight for martial artists who used the Red Hand Kick.
The idea was that instead of desperately avoiding or deflecting enemy weapons, you could strike them head-on.
And there was one more advantage for Uther here.
Although it was only in stage 1, and none of the seals common to the Ultimate series had been released, it was still usable.
A flesh like a sword.
Therefore, the physical endurance has become stronger than before.
So now I could bear it.
There was no need to hesitate, worrying about the collapse of the body.
“Jeongmun.”
Something that was opened incompletely.
It was impossible to reach the perfect state because the body could not withstand the power of the black sun.
A black sun began to rise within Uther’s chest.
The nine heavenly gates and six gates finally began to exert their true power.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The black dragon’s energy surged through Yuder’s body and soul. Black flames shot out as if exploding from Yuder’s entire body.
Gamor Khan took a step back involuntarily. Aside from the resonance phenomenon, cold sweat ran down his back.
Instead of pursuing Gamor Khan, Uther further activated the power of the Black Sun.
The black dragon’s energy enveloped Yuder’s limbs, and the black sun, no longer hesitating, bestowed immense power upon Yuder.
“Ultimate Sun Divine Art.”
Landius’ martial arts.
I learned integers, but I couldn’t use them like Landius.
It was no exaggeration to say that he had an invincible body, so if he were to unleash the Ultimate Sun God Art, the attack power would be so strong that he would risk destroying his own body.
But not anymore.
Now even Uther himself could fight like Landius.
Like that Iron Man Landius, in the same way.
I smiled. I took a step forward.
It was light as the wind, but Gamor Khan didn’t see it that way. It looked like a giant was taking steps to crush him.
So he reflexively raised his shield and sword. Using the power of the Grand Order, he formed a pure white barrier.
And then Uther saw it.
He did not use his super-confidence to get behind Gamor Khan. He pulled back his clenched fist and focused the power of the black sun into one point.
What comes to mind is Landius’s fist.
The sky-shattering power he had been shouting at.
‘May your muscles always be with you.’
The smile never left my mouth. I swung my fist at the pure white wall.
Ultimate Sun God Art – Pacheon.
Uther’s fist struck the pure white barrier.
The light of the black sun covered the world.
