Sword Emperor Reincarnated as a Sword Master Chapter 138

Sword Emperor Reincarnated as a Swordsmith (140)

“Is this the fourth total? If we secure just five more, the finished product, an ancient relic capable of capturing the demonic beast [Fenrir], will be restored.”

Leonard looked at the string with a skeptical look at those words.

“On the surface, it doesn’t look that great at all. “I don’t think we can tie up a mythical beast.”

“There is a hypothesis that the Aesir gods also took aim at that perception and created Gleipnir like this. “The reason [Fenrir] and the gods became enemies in the old days was because of an incident that occurred while they were playing a game of escaping from a restraining sphere by force.”

As explained earlier, the story of the old times was completely concealed, so people who did not study mythology within the family had no choice but to not know the full story.

As the leader of the White Dragon Knights, Damian was well aware of the story that existed between [Fenrir] and Gleipnir.

It was an anecdote that made us realize the foolishness and recklessness of the old gods.

“The demon beast [Fenrir] was not a vicious being from its origins.”

There were times when he was feared for his immense power and immortality that surpassed that of the gods, but at that time, Fenrir was weak enough to be subdued by only a few warriors, let alone the thunder god Thor. Even if he couldn’t kill him, there were few beings who feared anything weaker than him, so he wasn’t treated as such a big threat.

However, a shaman who could foresee the very distant future predicted that the wolf Fenrir’s snout would one day become so large that it would reach the edge of heaven and earth and devour even the god Odin.

When the gods heard the prophecy, they shuddered at the terrible prophecy, and soon created shackles to restrain Fenrir.

“Gleipnir, a restraint that no one would believe its purpose. “The Aesir gods took this and suggested the same escape game as always, but Fenrir couldn’t help but be suspicious of it.”

When Fenrir saw the unidentifiable silk cord, which may have been the toughest and strongest rope or chain in the world, he decided that it was a trick of the gods and asked for someone to guarantee it.

He said that he would only accept the game if one of the gods put his arm in his mouth.

“And the god who put his arm in at Fenrir’s request is the prototype of [Tir], the God we saw just before.”

“So that’s why I became one-armed.”

With Tyr’s arm cut off, the ending of the story was obvious.

Fenrir, who was unable to cut off Gleipnir, asked to be released from his restraints, but the gods mocked his foolishness and arrogance and left the scene.

To vent his anger, he chewed and swallowed Tyr’s arm, but even so, he never regained his freedom.

Fenrir, who lost his freedom through a single trick, was tied up until the day of the war of destruction came, and then, with his hatred and anger, he chewed Odin to death with his even larger body.

As a result, the shaman’s prophecy came true.

“According to some traditions, [Tyr] regretted his part in the deception, laid down his powers of ‘justice’, and did not even bother to regenerate his lost arm. “For a god race, losing an arm wouldn’t have been that big of a deal.”

“… “What I did to avoid the prophecy was to invite the prophecy.”

Damian spoke as if empathizing with his self-talk.

“Ah, I heard that’s called self-reflection prophecy.”

It was a tradition that could be commonly found not only among the Aesir gods, but also among other gods. There were many stories of the Olympos gods, who were famous for having a total of 12 deities, who were unable to escape their own prophecies and were captured.

At the point when the future was seen, the struggle to escape the future was already calculated, so no matter how hard the person involved in the prophecy tried, it was meaningless.

Leonard was disgusted by the intricacies of cause and effect that mere mortals could not imagine.

“If even the gods could not defy their fate, then humans would have nothing to say about it. “I don’t know how strong I have to be to throw off that unreasonable bondage.”

Damian, who was looking around the treasure chest with his long eye, answered.

“Well, my thoughts are a little different from yours.”

“Why?”

Even though he was a half spirit, he was an insignificant mortal compared to the true gods of the old times. Isn’t it natural to feel helpless against the pull of fate that even the gods cannot escape?

But Damian’s mood did not get heavier at all.

“I thought that the prophecy was the cause of the destruction. There is a saying that knowledge is power, but there is also a saying that ignorance is medicine. “The gods tried to determine the future through expedient means, but ended up confirming their own destruction.”

“Are you saying that the prophecy did not foresee something that would inevitably happen, but rather confirmed something that could not have happened?”

“okay.”

Leonard’s question was answered with a firm answer.

“It is the future because we cannot know the future. Be it prophecy or anything else, once the veil of ignorance has been lifted, there is no going back to how it was before. We are beings who can accomplish anything because we don’t know what will happen or what will come. “Leonard, don’t try to judge your future carelessly.”

Because he was born as a mortal and entered the realm of God, he was able to think from a different perspective than those who were born divine.

That advice served as a meaningful foundation for Leonard, who realized his insignificance despite being a demigod. Just as Leonard, who had no interest in Buddhism, experienced reincarnation, the future may be more generous to those who stay away from it.

Is that why all those who tried to leak or read the Heavenly Chronicles die unexpectedly?

“oh? “There are also two golden apples.”

While Leonard was thinking back on his past life for a moment, Damian returned, having found a golden apple inside the treasure chest.

He showed me two apples in his palm.

“It’s called [Idun’s Golden Apple].”

“Is it an elixir?”

“If we were to broadly categorize it, it would be like that… “It’s more often called by a different name.”

Rejuvenation medicine, Leonard’s eyes widened at those words.

It had to be that way.

Even if it doesn’t mean immortality, isn’t it something that many people in power have been searching for by any means possible?

“It’s a fruit that can only be obtained from a basket made with the power of [Idun], the goddess of youth. Unlike immortality, it seems that even the gods could not completely avoid aging.”

As Damian explained, he tossed a golden apple to Leonard.

Leonard took it reflexively and looked closely at the fruit in his hands. Unlike Gleipnir, when I looked with my dragon eye, I saw something that looked like the power of [Idun] waving around the fruit in the form of a magic formula.

The Wickline family probably wants to study it and reconstruct the power of God through magic.

‘… ‘It must be difficult.’

Even Leonard, who possessed the Dragon’s Eye, which can see through the flow of world laws, and the Dragon’s Heart, which can optimize magic formulas, had difficulty seeing more than 10%.

It would be difficult to guarantee results even if research was conducted over a period of 100 years.

“Thank you for your teachings.”

When Leonard handed back the golden apple that he had observed, Damian just twitched his eyes and then burst into laughter.

Even though you are not yet 20 years old, you casually return the rejuvenation medicine that came into your hands? Damian, who had thought he would hesitate for a moment, felt embarrassed.

“I gave it to you as a souvenir, so you can do whatever you want with it.”

“yes?”

“It is true that [Idun’s Golden Apples] are a valuable item, but there are over a hundred of them piled up in this family’s warehouse, right? “I can dispose of at least one of those as I wish.”

Damian said that in terms of value alone, the [Mimung] that Old Man Wade gave him was dozens of times greater, and before he could reply, Damian went out of the treasure chest.

It seemed that there were no other relics worth looking at.

Leonard looked down at the golden apple in his hand for a moment, stuffed it into his subspace pocket, and started walking toward the exit of , following Damien.

‘The law that fixed the distortion of space has weakened… ? Indeed, with [Tir] gone, the power to maintain has also weakened.’

Even if it did not collapse immediately like , the vacuum of God was bound to lead directly to the collapse of .

Even if several Great Wizards of Wickline rush in, delaying the collapse will be the limit. Because magical power could not completely replace divine power.

The flow of world laws seen through the Dragon’s Eye revealed that.

The two men succeeded in leaving the cave by walking for several tens of minutes, just as they had when they arrived.

“You’re back.”

In front of the cave leading to , a wizard sitting on a stump and flipping through a book greeted two people.

Damian complained as he approached him first.

“Hey, you said you were low class, right? When I met him in person, I thought he would be intermediate level. “If you had sent the kids without me, there would have been some casualties, right?”

“Intermediate level? Is that really true?”

At those words, Wickline Wizard’s face frowned.

“Okay, it looks like there was another error in the measurements. “I will speak to the person in charge and adjust the distribution rate of this ‘New Translation’.”

“I found a fragment of Gleipnir and a golden apple, and most of the is intact except for the scepter, so it won’t be a bad thing to study. “Please organize it well and send it to me.”

“All right. If you have any additional requirements, please request them directly from my lab.”

The wizard who was scribbling a quill on his palm asked a question.

“Which was the power of Hirshin [Tyr]? knife?”

“No, they used a decree declaration. “They activated three things in a row to win the game, so I relaxed a bit.”

“Three things… ? I would say it’s intermediate level. I will definitely record this in the report. First, let’s return to Cardenas. Thank you so much for your hard work.”

The wizard who led the two people to the pre-drawn magic circle soon poured the collected magic power into his staff.

Paaaaaaat??!

It was the moment Leonard finished his first field trip to Heoshin Subjugation.

* * *

The group that returned to Cardenas reappeared around the [Sword Forest] similar to when they left. Although the distance must have been quite long, the Wickline wizard did not appear to be very tired.

He even exchanged a few words with Damian, bowed briefly to Leonard, and then disappeared through space.

Damian said with an expression of familiarity with that sight.

“The result of removing the consciousness of the chosen people from an ordinary wizard and instilling pragmatism is Wickline. “If it goes beyond a certain distance, it almost always uses spatial movement first.”

Leonard asked, remembering what he had heard before.

“Wasn’t it dangerous to travel long distances without a space door?”

“They said they would take it because the benefits are much greater than the risks.”

Even if he had reached the level of an archmage, there was no way that it would be simple or easy for a mere mortal to twist space. It was a type of magic that would shatter the transcendental body even if the spatial coordinates were just a few degrees off.

Even Leonard had to stick his tongue out with a shocked expression when he heard that he was overusing it to save time. Isn’t this no different from using martial arts that can be used for convenience?

“Well, I guess they can handle it on their own. It’s none of my business. “Don’t worry about it either.”

As Damian said that, he took a few steps into the [Forest of Swords] and then looked back at Leonard with a face that seemed to remember something.

“Leonard, what’s your plan today?”

“Nothing in particular. “I had no idea how long it would take to go with the leader.”

“Then, would you like to stop by the White Dragon Knights? “You’re going to go on your next mission without me, but I thought it would be a good idea to at least talk to the people who might accompany you in advance.”

It was an offer that Leonard had no reason to refuse.
