Overgeared

“No, what...”

Both Ibellin and Cork were dumbfounded.

Broken Sword—it happened as Biban pulled out a seemingly useless item and took aim at the fragments of Asura that were approaching at the speed of light...

Their view was blocked by a ‘wall.‘ It was really a wall. The wall that suddenly appeared like an illusion filled their vision. Then there was an earthquake and the wall was lifted.

Before they knew it, they witnessed the scenes of the demonic creatures on the battlefield turning to ash. Thousands of demonic creatures had been slaughtered. The fragments of Asura were also gone.

What happened? It took them quite some time to understand. The two people belatedly realized the truth and fixed their eyes on Biban’s broken sword.

“As expected. It isn’t cut.”

Biban aimed his sword at the sky again.

What they had doubted was actually true. The identity of the wall that blocked Ibellin and Coke’s vision—it was Biban’s sword that rapidly grew in size. It felt like the physical embodiment of the Space Sword, the Sword Saint’s ultimate skill that cut through the world with a sword.

The targeted fragments of Asura flew into the distance like a home run ball and the battlefield split in half. The demons and demonic creatures swept away by the shock either fell to the ground or fell off a cliff to their deaths.

“Hahat! Is the Sword God also overgeared?” Asuka giggled as she clung to the cliff that had just formed. She didn’t show any displeasure even though she almost died. Rather, she seemed to have formed a liking toward Biban.

‘She is an enigmatic person, even though I know her.’

It was true for most of the people gathered around Grid. It was the same for them.

Ibellin glanced at the masked angels who were observing before his eyes widened.

“Behind! Behind you!”

A slime-like flesh was creeping out of the underground entrance that the group had their backs to. It was very suspicious. He wondered if it was part of the red flesh that was fighting fiercely with Yura’s group underground.

The destructive power contained in Ibellin’s sword was enormous. The flesh was shattered with one blow.

Biban looked at the flesh scattering in all directions and cocked his head. “It is strange. I didn’t feel its presence. It is persistent.”

The group’s eyes shifted back to the sky. The fragments of Asura that flew away a while ago were returning. He felt a strong determination to enter the underground area.

“It is better to change the method.”

Biban put away Broken Sword. He stood blocking the entrance of the underground area and glared at the fragments of Asura approaching at the speed of light. The fragments of Asura that arrived were caught by Biban’s hands. Both arms were captured in the left hand and the lower body was in the right hand. Finally, the torso was caught under Biban’s armpit and it was immobilized.

It was a rather unrealistic sight. It was already abnormal that the fragmented body parts were flying around. Additionally, Asura’s arms and legs were twice as large as the average adult man, yet Biban held them with both hands. It was only possible because his hands were as big as pot lids.

Biban had veins bulging from his neck and forehead as he folded all of Asura’s joints. It was a fearsome strength.

He sat down and used as a cushion the fragments of Asura, which had strangely twisted arms and legs wrapped around the torso. Then he spoke to Ibellin, “Look for something to tie it up with.”

“...Yes!” Ibellin and Coke answered with a sudden sense of loyalty. They were thrilled after seeing what Biban had shown. Asuka followed the two of them silently. The angel in the gold mask also chased after the group.

Biban spoke to the man in the silver mask who was left behind, “Your eyes are fierce. Your uneasiness is showing despite the mask.”

“...Haha. It makes me excited that they don’t seem to recognize me at all.”

“You changed your race to an angel and even wore a mask. Isn’t it a problem if you are easily recognized?”
