When I Tried Strengthening 【Rusted Sword】, It Evolved Into An Overpowered Magic Sword
Chapter 7 Cursed Magic Sword
Name: Cursed Magic Sword
Rank: S
Level:
Attack Power: 500
Blessings: Strength +500, Endurance +500, Agility +500, Magic Power +500, Vitality +500
Skill: [Sacred Treasure Synthesis]
Durability: 500/500
Attack power and blessings, all at 500.
In a world where 300 is considered extraordinary, this is overwhelmingly powerful.
As far as I know, this is undoubtedly a top-tier sacred treasure.
Why did my [Rusty Sword] transform into such an sacred treasure?
Why did the appearance of the sword suddenly change?
No, it doesn’t matter right now.
From inside my body, power is overflowing like spring water.
This is the blessing bestowed by the sacred treasure.
The tremendous power that the gods grant to humans.
I don’t feel like losing…!
“Haa!”
I repelled the great sword of the demon that had been in a deadlock.
Even though it didn’t budge at all just a moment ago, now I could easily push it back.
“What!?”
The demon, thrown off by the repelling of the sacred treasure, loses balance significantly.
I don’t let that opening go unnoticed.
With the sacred treasure in my right hand, I slash at the demon’s chest.
The demon, whose magical armor couldn’t be scratched with [Rusty Sword], is effortlessly cut open.
“Gua!”
As fresh blood splatters in front of me, the demon immediately distances itself from me.
The wound is on the shallower side.
However, the demon clutches its injured chest and glares at me with a face filled with anger.
“You, you bastard! You dared to leave a wound on my body! I won’t forgive you! Absolutely won’t forgive you!”
Did it have considerable confidence in its magical armor?
It seems to harbor intense resentment for being wounded.
Driven by that anger, the demon swings its black great sword forcefully.
With both strength and speed, it’s an overwhelming strike that would crush an ordinary person with its sheer force. Yet, I calmly deflect it with the sword in my right hand.
“Damn… Gaaah!!!”
The demon continues to swing the sacred treasure relentlessly.
Likewise, I keep deflecting the demon’s attacks.
The clash of sacred treasures creates intense sword pressure, causing the surrounding trees to noisily sway.
“Haa… haa… haa…”
Eventually, the demon, panting heavily, ceases its attacks.
It seems even demons have the concept of fatigue.
A bit surprising.
“Kuh, damn it! You suddenly changed your strength! Well then, I’ll show you the true power of my ‘sacred treasure’!”
The demon raises its black great sword high, as if flaunting it to me.
“Enchanting Magic――[Black Flame Hellflare]!”
As it shouts, black flames manifest on the large sword.
Even standing at a distance, you can feel the heat.
It’s powerful black flames.
“…’Enchanting Magic’?”
sacred treasures can be broadly categorized into two types: ‘Weapon-type’ sacred treasures and ‘Catalyst-type’ sacred treasures.
‘Weapon-type’ sacred treasure, as the name suggests, come with inherent attack power, making them sacred treasures capable of directly attacking demons.
On the other hand, ‘Catalyst-type’ sacred treasures lack inherent attack power but have the ability to invoke supernatural phenomena known as ‘magic.’
Thus, individuals wielding catalyst-type sacred treasures are often referred to as ‘sorcerers’ or ‘mages’ in the world.
In battles, there’s no clear superiority between the two; it depends on the circumstances.
Furthermore, even weapon-type sacred treasures have some degree of ‘magic’ imbued in them.
One such form is the ‘Enchanting Magic’ enchantment.
It can boost the sacred treasure’s attack power or give it special effects.
Judging by appearances, it seems that the demon’s Enchanting Magic has an effect that increases attack power.
He seems to be betting everything on a single powerful strike.
“Haha! With this, I’ve surpassed the attack power of your sacred treasure! Perish, you weakling!!”
The demon swings the black-flamed great sword with both hands and charges at full force.
An uppercut slash at an incredible speed.
Seeing that, I, to block that strike, raise my right hand with the [Cursed Magic Sword]…
No, that’s not right. I raise my left hand, which is empty.
In an instant—
“What!?”
As if sucked in, the black-flamed great sword descends onto my left hand.
Tremendous impact and heat transmit to my left hand, but with just a slight grimace, I completely stop the demon’s strongest strike.
“You, you caught it with bare hands? My sacred treasure…? No, that can’t be…”
The demon seems to be in shock at the reality before its eyes.
However, it’s nothing extraordinary.
I just thought I could catch it with my bare hands, and so I did.
And…
“Now, it’s my turn.”
I firmly grip the sword in my right hand.
Swinging it overhead, as if carrying it on my right shoulder, I strike at the frozen demon before me.
“Haa!”
With a single blow, I bisect it.
“Guh… Aa…”
The demon, severed from the left shoulder to the right hip, collapses powerless to the ground.
With a gaze containing astonishment and anger, it looks up at me.
“No way… That beaten-up sacred treasure was…”
Gradually, the demon’s body is covered in light.
Its entire body slowly transforms into particles of light, dispersing into the air as if melting away.
“Damn it… you scum…”
What remained afterwards was the ominous black great sword, the demon’s sacred treasure.
A brief silence settled over the scene.
The recent battle seemed to have calmed down as if it were all a lie, and I let out a voice to confirm the reality.
“I… defeated the demon?”
Me, who was a coward and a crybaby.
Me, who was supposed to have the weakest sacred treasure.
Me, who used to be bullied.
It’s completely unbelievable.
However, it’s an undeniable fact.
And that fact is reaffirmed by the sobbing sounds from behind.
“Ugh… higu…”
It’s the girl who seemed to be about to be attacked by the demon.
She’s still on the ground, her face crumpled as she continues to sob.
Both she and I are alive.
I take a step towards the girl and bend down to be at eye level with her.
“It’s okay now. I defeated the scary demon, so stop crying…”
While I’m comforting her…
Suddenly, my vision starts to blur.
As if the world is tilting, the scenery in front of me wavers.
“Huh… what…?”
My consciousness rapidly fades, and I collapse to the ground.
