Wizard: I crush legends with martial arts.

Chapter 122 Overlord Sword

Taisi, Mia, and Midio, who were on the lake shore, had noticed something unusual on the lake.

A large, eerie blue expanse, accompanied by numerous bubbles, was bound to attract attention.

Mia stood up abruptly and drew her longsword, but she was at a loss. Her strength had not yet recovered, and she could not swim. No matter how skilled she was, she could not use her abilities in the water.

But she couldn't let go of her concern for Alphonse, and her heart was in her throat.

Midio gripped his wand tightly, extremely nervous, but like Mia, he was also a terrible swimmer.

"No need to rush!" Tessie raised her hand to stop the two. "It seems the lord is engaged in battle with the monsters in the lake!"

Thanks to the slave contract, he was able to sense Alphonse's current state, as his vital signs had not changed.

But it would be a lie to say I'm not worried.

Alphonse never treated him as a slave and even taught him a magic called "true qi." In his heart, Tessie also regarded Alphonse as a friend.

"I'll go check!" Pulling off her horned helmet and throwing it to the ground, Tessi rushed towards the lake without even taking off her clothes.

With a leap, the fish plunged into the lake.

Alphonse, underwater, was almost catching up with the giant squid.

But at that moment, the giant squid made a spitting motion with its protruding mouthparts.

Instantly, several powerful streams of water shot towards Alphonse like cannonballs.

That wasn't all; a gush of pitch-black ink then erupted, staining the surrounding lake water black.

Alphonse quickly dodged the incoming water jet.

I was a little surprised; this squid had quite a few attack methods.

Having identified the location, he closed his eyes, drew his sword swiftly, and shot through the dark water like an arrow.

Before the giant squid could escape far, Alphonse climbed onto its body with lightning speed.

Its body was incredibly slippery, but Alphonse pierced through it with the sword's edge, not even half an arm of it went in.

His other hand wasn't idle either, stabbing and stabbing relentlessly.

Clumps of blue blood mist spread across the lake.

However, the giant squid's body was too large to cause fatal damage, and Alphonse was still dragged to the bottom of the lake.

Alphonse also realized that things were going very badly if this continued.

He was fighting underwater on his own, relying solely on his last breath. If he were to be dragged to the bottom of the lake, it would be a huge problem.

At this point, one can only rely on the direction of the water flow to sense the approaching tentacles, busy dealing with them, and it is not advisable to fight for a long time.

We must finish this quickly!

As soon as Alphonse opened his eyes, he saw two eyes the size of basketballs beneath him.

The aquatic monster's large, expressive eyes betrayed no emotion.

He just stared at her intently.

What a coincidence, it just so happens to be hanging here.

Alphonse hardened his resolve, lowered his body, and pressed his thumb toward the enormous eyeball.

Overlord Sword!

The strongest move that the Innate Formless Finger Sword could currently use finally revealed its sharpness in actual combat!

A burst of intense purple lightning suddenly erupted and flashed out.

As its name suggests, the Overlord Sword is incredibly powerful and domineering.

It pierced through the giant squid's eyeball in an instant, like a red-hot knife cutting through butter, going straight through.

The giant squid struggled frantically, its tentacles flailing wildly.

Even though a centipede dies but does not stiffen, it is not completely dead yet, despite having suffered fatal damage and having its brain blasted open.

Alphonse, however, did not gain any advantage; his internal energy was almost completely drained.

That was bad enough, but I also felt a slight numbness in my body.

The additional attribute gained by the Overlord Sword is lightning, and electric current can be conducted in water.

Fortunately, the Innate Formless Divine Skill was extremely wondrous, and the abnormal condition was removed in the blink of an eye.

This was also within Alphonse's expectations; he had already anticipated the possible scenarios.

Without hesitation, they swam quickly to the surface of the water.

With his true energy exhausted, he could only dive down again later to search for the giant squid's corpse.

As soon as I surfaced, I could see Taixi swimming in the distance.

Alphonse took a breath of fresh air and waved at Tessie. "I'm here! I'm fine!"

Taisi had been searching for a while, but was hindered by the blood and ink of the giant squid, and was too exhausted to dive down.

Seeing Alphonse dressed in all black, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Mia and Midio, who had been anxiously waiting on the shore like ants on a hot plate, finally felt relieved.

Looking at Alphonse, who had turned into a black man, I couldn't help but want to laugh.

Alphonse also realized that he was covered in ink, and felt sticky.

So I swam around in the lake for a while, rubbing off all the ink, before swimming back to shore.

"What did you run into?" Mia asked curiously.

"A very large squid." Alphonse spread his arms and gestured.

"It's good that he's alright." Mia was really afraid that something might happen to Alphonse, and then she wouldn't be able to explain it to Lady Mary.

As a guardian knight, if something were to happen to her master, it would be a grave dereliction of duty, and she would never be able to face Lady Mary again.

"It's not that impressive," Alphonse said with a nonchalant laugh.

In other words, the giant squid is huge and lives in water, so dealing with it wouldn't be too difficult if it were on land.

Taisi swam back at this moment. When she heard that it was a large squid, she was immediately tempted, but she didn't say anything.

Seeing his expression, Alphonse guessed what he was thinking. "No rush, that giant squid should be dead. Let me recover a bit, then I'll go drag it up and we'll have grilled squid."

After saying that, he sat down cross-legged and began to regulate his breathing.

Simply restoring one's true energy doesn't require standing upside down like in cultivation.

In other words, the Ren and Du meridians have not yet been opened, so the true qi cannot be generated continuously, and breathing regulation is still needed to allow the internal energy to recover quickly.

Once the barrier between life and death, the bridge between heaven and earth, is opened, one can recover very quickly without needing to regulate one's breathing.

After a while, Alphonse regained his inner strength and dived back into the lake.

The lake is only about three or four zhang deep, which is not very deep.

As expected, the giant squid was completely dead.

Alphonse raised his hand and inhaled, hoping to absorb a pure necromantic aura.

Unexpectedly, there was no response at all.

This is very strange.

In the forest, he had no interest in plants, and when he encountered those ghosts, he assumed that the righteous sword had completely purified their souls. When he encountered the succubus, he was busy escaping and had no time to absorb the necromantic energy.

Surely the Overlord Sword can't also have a purifying effect, right?

Alphonse simply couldn't understand it.

All they could do was drag the giant squid's carcass back to shore.

At this moment, Mia and the other two realized just how big the squid was, and they were all extremely surprised.

Midio had only ever seen what a squid looked like in the illustrations in the book, and now he was seeing the real thing, with an unusually large head.
