Geomje reincarnated as a swordsman (129)
Leader of the White Dragon Knights.
Leonard’s body stiffened as he faced an unexpected giant, but soon regained his composure and let go of the sword.
Only after the two people’s will completely calmed down did the pressure that filled the room subside. The management wizard had already collapsed with foam in his mouth. If you were in the 5th level, you wouldn’t have been treated poorly no matter where you went, but you were completely lost in a life that wasn’t directed at you.
“This is quite embarrassing.”
Fabian, the leader of the Dragon Knights, walked out from behind Damian and muttered with a look on his face that he couldn’t believe his eyes.
“I used to think that he was a genius who could grow to the level of leader in 30 years, but how can he reach the transcendental level in less than 3 years? “It is a growth rate that is unprecedented even within the family’s history.”
“Well, I also broke through the transcendental realm after turning 20. “The people who broke through in their teens were all probably 18 or 19 years old.”
In the world, breaking through the transcendental realm before thirty was considered rare or impossible, but in the Cardenas family, it was a different story.
It was not uncommon for not only the leaders of the 7th Knights, but also their blood relatives serving under them, to break through the transcendental realm in their 20s.
Of course, although they were in their 20s, most of them were in their late 30s rather than in their early or mid-teens, and were close to turning 30. It was an essential competency to be classified as a main member of the 7th Knights.
‘… ‘This is a truly ridiculous family.’
Leonard guessed that from the two people’s story, and realized how much of a difference there was between Cardenas and the outside world.
Outside the empire, a strong master-level person who can rule a large territory is taken for granted! If you want to see the true colors of this family, you have to go beyond the Transcendental Sutra.
The reason Damian and Fabian were surprised was that Leonard was so young, not that he had reached transcendence itself.
“Hmm?”
It was then.
Damian, the white-haired man who came before him, casually put his face in an inch away from him.
This combination would have been enough to seriously injure Leonard, even if he was in Ha Ha’s position, and there was no hesitation at all. Unlike Fabian, he seemed to have seen through Leonard’s true capabilities.
“No matter how you look at it, it’s amazing. Less than half a year has passed since you broke through the transcendental realm, right? “How long has it been?”
“It’s been a little over three months.”
“I knew it.”
Leonard realized something when their eyes met at close range.
No, it was a situation where both parties had no choice but to know.
‘Dragon eyes?!’
The pupils of the two people’s eyes were sharply slit, as if they were facing each other in a mirror.
Insight into the flow of world laws.
When Leonard noticed that, Damian said with an expression that had been waiting for his reaction.
“Hoo, are you aware? Not only is it not enough for someone with only Transcendental Vision to awaken, but the level of perfection is also impressive. ‘Eyes’ and ‘Heart’ are considered the highest quality among the Dragon Blood Awakening traits, so it looks like those who are obsessed with lineal supremacy will all turn upside down.”
“Dragon Blood Awakening?! Are you saying Leonard has already perfected his quirk!”
Fabian, who was watching him carefully, couldn’t hold back his excitement. It seemed that the Cardenas family still had a mountain of secrets that he didn’t know about.
Damian agreed by nodding his head once, then turned to Leonard and said,
“You’ve never heard of this before, right?”
“That’s right.”
“I feel like I want to let it all out here, but it’s not a story worth telling in someone else’s land, right? Let’s wake up that wizard first and return to the family. “I unintentionally caused a nuisance.”
From then on, the situation went smoothly.
The three of them, centered around Damian, lined up in front of the space door.
Commander of the seven knights representing the Cardenas family.
The management wizard, who could not have been unaware of the gravity of the matter, opened the space door with the fastest and most accurate movements of his life.
Buzz buzz buzz?!
As Cardenas’ swordsmen disappeared into it all at once, the management wizard who immediately closed the space door collapsed in his place.
For him who was already weak-hearted, the guests who came today were too stimulating. After taking a deep breath in front of the crystal ball for several minutes, the management wizard stood up and began to think about what to write in the report.
“… “How should I report this?”
The sudden visit of the leader of the White Dragon Knights and the return of an unknown blood relative of Cardenas.
Even the slightest mistake in the content was something to be alarmed about.
The management wizard, who could already feel his temples throbbing, fumbled with his quill. I even felt like I should give up working as the manager of this space door.
* * *
Just like when I came from Atlantis, I had to go through two or three more space doors.
The space gate installed somewhere in the Cardenas territory vibrated violently, and three people walked out from within it. Leonard looked around and blinked at the very unfamiliar scenery.
It was a different place from the space gate he used before when he went to Galapagos.
“There are more than ten space gates in Cardenas Territory. “No wonder you don’t know.”
Damian said as he walked ahead.
“Let’s move slowly from here. “I have a lot to talk about, and it would be nice to take a walk while looking back at my hometown after a long time.”
“great.”
“Fabian, you too?”
“Today’s schedule has already been canceled. “Let’s go together.”
One half-hearted and two transcendental people.
From anyone’s perspective, it was not a combination that went well with ‘walking’.
“How far have we been talking about? Oh yeah. “Dragon Blood Awakening.”
As soon as those words came out, Leonard concentrated his mind.
Among the secrets hidden in the Cardenas family, or rather in the bloodline, it was definitely one of the most extraordinary. Even ‘Yongan’, which had not even realized half of its functions yet, was an area that was difficult for the martial arts people to imagine.
Damian, seeing his attitude, explained with a grin.
“With a talent like yours, you would have realized it long ago. We, this Cardenas, have blood from ‘something that is not human’ mixed into our blood. “After seeing the abnormally excellent physical ability, mana aptitude, and even the ancestral restoration that can be experienced after leaping to the transcendental realm, I have no choice but to be convinced.”
“Return to ancestors… ?”
“It is a phenomenon in which the constitution or characteristics of the ancestors reappear in distant generations after several or even dozens of generations. “It is also called ancestral return, but I guess the words are not important.”
Originally, it was a phenomenon that ended with hair color, skin color, height, and bone structure being different from their parents. However, at the peak of the Cardenas family lineage, there existed a transcendent species, not a human.
It was a dragon, a world guardian created by the gods.
“Not only did he not die even after being caught up in the [Mass Teleport] explosion, but he also broke through to transcendence at that age. “Didn’t you think it was strange that your identity wasn’t questioned?”

“… “Isn’t that why the leader came?”
“That’s correct. There were quite a few people who tried to infiltrate Cardenas by stealing the bodies of their blood relatives, and there were also a few foreign god worshipers who could not be suppressed at the level of the Transcendental Realm.”
As if to reassure Leonard, who was starting to get nervous at the thought, Damian, who was laughing, held out his hand.
“If I had suspected your identity, would I have brought you home? It must have been cut right there. And the reason I stopped doubting you is an extension of what I just said.”
“Dragon Blood Awakening.”
“okay. “I can kill you and turn over your shell, but it is impossible to recreate the characteristics of a dragon.”
The three of them had already left the deserted area and were approaching an area where the sounds of people and metal resonated.
“It’s not ‘blood’ or ‘scales’ or ‘bones’ that can even be disguised, but ‘eyes’ and ‘heart’. “If that were possible, Cardenas would have fallen long ago.”
Leonard asked a question, interrupting Damian’s spilled words.
“Are there a variety of traits that result from hemolytic awakening?”
“Varies… Isn’t that enough to say that? From what I remember, there are less than twenty. Fabian, how are you?”
“There are a total of 15 traits identified on record. If we count only the ones that exist, there are 10 species. “I will explain the next part.”
Fabian explained in detail as if living up to the expectations.
“Qualities such as ‘blood’, ‘scales’, ‘bones’, ‘muscles’, and ‘tendons’ mentioned by Director Damian are the most commonly expressed parts. You start to see signs of it from the external force realm, and once you break through the transcendental realm, it becomes completely evident in your body. Although they are classified as lower class, they create a level of difference that is difficult to compare with humans who are not blood relatives.”
“If you use the word low-class, there are also middle-class and upper-class.”
“It’s just as you said.”
Fabian, who confirmed Leonard’s words, pursed his lips.
“The ‘lungs’ that can receive a large amount of mana with a single breath, the ‘horns’ that can concentrate or disperse mana, and the ‘wings’ that can spread and retract according to the will of the manifester are classified as intermediate level. For your information, my traits are ‘blood’ and ‘lungs.’”
Since I didn’t know the details, I couldn’t tell what was great and what wasn’t. So Leonard listened quietly, nodding his head several times.
Fabian’s explanation continued.
“There is only one trait that is classified as upper class: ‘eyes.’ You probably know this better than me. Even in Cardenas in the current era, there are three Dragon Eye Awakened people, and now there are only four, including you. “They say he can see through not only the flow of mana, but also the formation principles of high-level magic.”
“indeed… .”
“Lastly, the highest quality is ‘heart’… This is difficult to explain because it is a bit special. “It is a trait that only appeared in past generations of family heads, so you are probably the first to appear in the collateral world.”
Leonard’s face hardened as he understood the meaning.
‘It’s getting tiresome.’
The fact that it was a trait that only previous matriarchs expressed was the same as the meaning that one could become a matriarch candidate if one awakened to the trait of ‘heart’.
For Leonard, who had no intention of being concerned about power or status, it was just a problem that was holding him back. Archduke title? A powerful person within the three fingers of the Arcadia Empire? I wasn’t interested in that sort of thing.
Fortunately, neither Fabian nor Damien ever talked about it. The place where the three people stopped was a training ground that exists in several places in Cardenas.
“… hey. “Take a look over there.”
“what’s the matter? uh?”
“No way, that person…” ?”
How many people recognized Damian or Fabian? The training ground, which had been loud with only the sound of swords clashing and the wind blowing, soon became quiet, creating an unexpected silence.
The whispering about Leonard, who appeared with the two, was also mixed in without knowing.
“I’m sorry, but let’s use the training ground. “Get out of the way.”
The knights quickly moved in response to an order that was not an order from the White Dragon Knight Commander, and instead of leaving the training ground, they retreated to the edge.
The attempt to gain enlightenment from Go Soo’s every move was the same as in this world or the martial arts world of his previous life. Leonard, shaking off the feeling of being lost, walked toward the center of the training ground.
Damian saw that and whistled cheerfully.
“It’s quick, right? “I guess you wanted to give it a try too?”
Leonard said as he pulled out the sword from his waist.
“I’ve gained a lot of experience while traveling around the outside world, but I can’t seem to find an opportunity to meet a person with strong antipathy.”
“The world is wide. But it’s not higher than Cárdenas.”
These were words that fully expressed the pride of the continent’s best swordsman.
It was also a declaration that no one would dare deny.
“Captain Damian.”
Next, Fabian appeared in front of Damian, who was about to head across from Leonard, with his eyes burning with fighting spirit.
Just as Damian was interested in Leonard, Fabian was also interested in the boy who had given him a little insight the previous day. The genius who had been controlling the sword of his heart from a young age was so curious about how he wielded the sword now that he had reached transcendence that he was going crazy.
“Ho, you want to try it first?”
“please.”
Damian, who took a step back from his enthusiasm, shrugged his shoulders.
“Do whatever you feel like. “I don’t think it will take long anyway.”
Fabian wondered for a moment how he saw the composition of the two people, then shook off all distracting thoughts.
Leonard, who broke through transcendence at the age of 16, is without a doubt a genius of all time.
Considering the monsters he had seen many times in Cardenas, he was an opponent who would have to give his all even if he was on equal footing.
Slurp.
As Fabian’s sword was pulled out, an auror blade was created from the blade.
It is a thread made of black steel.
If you combine it with the quick sword that cut the limbs of the fifth shadow into pieces in one blow, a normal attack, not even a five-pointed sword, becomes a special move. The memories of that time replayed in Leonard’s mind, and dozens of countermeasures came to mind, but soon disappeared.
and.
“Let’s begin.”
“yes.”
Regardless of who was first, Leonard and Fabian took a step forward and swung their swords with a fighting spirit that was no different from actual combat.
A sword that cuts off the nape of the neck and pierces the heart.
Without the slightest hesitation, fatal sword strikes are struck.
Kaaaaaaang??!
A sword so deadly that the knights watching from the edge of the training ground turned pale. As the blades cut each other, fragments flew out in all directions, but Damian brushed away the pieces that stuck out to the edges with a single wave of his hand.
It was exactly 32 seconds after the first sword strike.
“… … .”
“… … .”
Fabian looked down at the blade waving in front of his uvula and thought back to the game that was decided in less than a minute.
Did you do your best? okay.
Did you give it your all? It was said that the techniques and special moves that had been refined for actual combat were sealed, but the same was true for the other party.
If you fight again, can you win?
Fabian asked himself one last question, and upon hearing the answer, he lowered his sword.
“You lost.”
Only then did Fabian understand what Damian had said and smiled bitterly.
