Geomje reincarnated as a swordsmith (151)
After [Pollux] was subdued, there was nothing left that could be considered dangerous in
Leonard and his party quickly escaped from Gemini and reunited with Calanta, who was waiting for them from where they came.
Seeing his group in complete disrepair, he was the first to start the fight.
“Why are you so hurt? If it were [Castor], it was a difficult appointment, but is it really just a variable?”
Isaac answered.
“[Castor] sacrificed himself and summoned his brother. The god of Pankration, [Pollux] of the Iron Fist, has appeared and is on his way to subdue it.”
“If it’s [Pollux]? Wait, how did you come back alive? “He needs three or four Danju-level people to attack him together.”
It was a rude question, but Leonard agreed.
‘It’s impossible to do alone, but I think it would have been better if there were three or four Isaacs. ‘He did quite a bit of damage on his own.’
[Pollux] did not die because his durability was abnormally high. Even if there were no legends related to immortality, it would have been a fatal wound. If there were multiple people who could inflict that much damage, it might have been an easier opponent to defeat than expected.
It wasn’t that the White Dragon Knights couldn’t sympathize with that question, but there was no way they could give a good answer.
“Why are you asking me if I didn’t die when I barely came back alive?”
“The difficulty level of ‘New Translation’ is Wickline’s responsibility! “If someone dies or gets hurt because of your mistake, you should apologize first!”
“Show courtesy to those who shed blood on your behalf.”
No matter how bad Calanta was at reading the mood, he couldn’t be rude to the swordsmen who had turned their attention to him. The pressure of the three transcendental men was enough to dent the archmage’s pride.
Eventually, he began to make excuses in a stuttering tone.
“N-no, this wasn’t a mistake… .”
Isaac also seemed to have something in common with Kalanta, so he let them mistreat him for a while and then intervened.
He said, stepping in between the four people as if separating them.
“stop. Wickline is a blood ally of our Cardenas, and a comrade in arms who has been fighting foreign enemies for centuries. “Be polite.”
When the superior said that, the three of them had to quietly bow their heads and retreat.
Isaac, who had withdrawn his men, gave advice to Calanta.
“Don’t forget the courtesy you should follow. “Did you intend to break a friendship that had lasted for hundreds of years with trivial rudeness?”
“S-sorry. “I guess I didn’t notice much.”
Kalanta kept his posture in a rare low posture, bending down to his waist.
The appearance of [Pollux] has already made Wickline responsible, but if Cárdenas’s rude remarks are added, it won’t be enough to end in just a few chapters of the epistle.
Fortunately, Isaac accepted his apology.
“Please be more considerate next time. “We also tend to get more sensitive right after a subjugation.”
“… I’ll keep that in mind. “I apologize again, everyone.”
Then the White Dragon Knights pretended not to be able to win and accepted the apology, and Kalanta stood on the magic circle that had been drawn as always.
It must not have been an illusion that the movement was faster than usual.
After confirming that all five people were in the magic circle’s area of influence, Kalanta recited the initiating word for space movement.
“[Multi-teleport]!”
The same flash as always sent all six people flying away.
* * *
As before, the group that appeared around the [Sword Forest] immediately parted ways with Kalanta and returned to the [Ivory Forest] where the White Dragon Knights were stationed.
And Isaac and Leonard went straight to see Damien.
It was to report the success of the subjugation mission and the process.
“hmm? “It’s a messier mess than I expected.”
Damian, who was reading documents in the director’s office, glanced at the two people and said, pointing to the chair across from them.
“There’s no way you guys would have a hard time with someone like [Castor]. What happened? “There’s no need to rush, so report it slowly.”
“All right.”
Isaac, who was in charge of the mission and commanded five people, was the first to share his experience in detail. He started by entering the
Damian listened to that part with a silent nod, but was shocked when he heard that [Castor], who had cornered him, had summoned his younger brother.
It had to be that way.
“You summoned [Pollux]?!”
“yes. If it weren’t for Leonard, we would all be dead. “He didn’t just summon it, he even used [Zeus’] lightning once.”
Knowing that Isaac’s report was not an exaggeration, Damien, after assuming the situation for a moment, looked away.
Naturally, the direction his gaze went to was fixed.
“I don’t know about [Pollux], but it’s strange that no one died from being hit by that lightning. “Leonard, did you block it with the technique you saw last time?”
It is impossible to block [Zeus]’s lightning unless it is the ability to neutralize singularity, which he showed in the 4-on-1 sparring.
As the leader of the White Dragon, I knew all the unique characteristics of the four members, including Isaac, and I also knew that they could not survive with their strength alone.
As if he had been waiting for that guess, Leonard agreed.
“It was breathtaking.”
It was an honest answer.
[Zeus]’s lightning was so high-level that it even cut down the superior sword of the Four Noble Ghosts, causing the sword to melt.
It was also understandable that among the subjugation cases of [Castor], which was only at a low level, several deaths were recorded as a result. It was proof that there was still a long way to go to face a god-level Heo Shin.
“You were lucky. “If I hadn’t put you in, I would have lost five of my men without even knowing why.”
Damian muttered that and added a few lines to the report.
[Pollux], who was summoned with [Castor]’s ability, would have disappeared shortly after, so even if an investigation team had been dispatched, it would not have been possible to determine why it was wiped out.
As the saying goes, knowledge is power, there was a big difference depending on whether the White Dragon Knights knew or did not know about the gods they had to subdue.
Leonard then pulled it out from his subspace pocket.
“Captain, [Pollux] left this behind and disappeared.”
“huh? These are his hands. “I remember it as an object with the power to be unbreakable, but how did you cut it?”
Even Damian fiddled with the iron hand with a curious look on his face.
Judging from his reaction, it seems that [Pollux] never left his hand behind. Otherwise, from the perspective of the leader of the White Dragon Knights, there was no reason to find it surprising.
Leonard said.

“I cut it with the ability that previously nullified [Zeus’s] lightning, but perhaps my strength was not enough, so I could only cut one.”
“Aha,” Damian was convinced and added a few words.
“It was probably more difficult because it was a materialized power. Its power becomes stronger at the cost of its limited use. “If I had the power to temporarily harden my hands, I could have just cut it.”
“Is it more difficult if your body and power are unified?”
“of course. In cases where the body itself has immortality, like [Pollux], it is several times more difficult. [Achilles], who becomes invincible except for his weaknesses, is more difficult.”
It was said that God’s power inevitably had restrictions corresponding to its abilities, and if the restrictions were weak or non-existent, the power would be weak and its status would be lowered.
So, if [Pollux’s] immortality was limited to being strong and resistant to death, [Achilles’] invulnerability meant that his entire body, except for one heel, was made into an iron fist.
“Well, [Pollux] might be more difficult if you have a way to reliably attack its weaknesses. Because compatibility is like that.”
For example, if there was an ally who possessed the special feature of ‘Definitely’, Heoshin, whose weakness was in a specific area, could not be said to be a difficult enemy.
On the other hand, if you have immortality embedded in your entire body like [Pollux] and have no vital points, you will need destructive power or overwhelming speed to completely crush your entire body. That was lacking in the 3rd stage I went to this time.
Damian put down his iron hand as he finished his explanation.
“It is your spoil, dispose of it as you wish. “Looking at what you brought me, I guess you don’t know its purpose?”
Leonard answered.
“According to what Sir Isaac said, I heard that it can be crafted into a sword or armor, or exchanged for a few artifacts.”
“What, I know very well. In the former case, you need to leave it to Zehaire, so you can’t handle it yourself. If you’re thinking of selling to Wickline, you just don’t need to get caught in the snow. “If there’s anyone who can help with the negotiations, maybe bring Isaac?”
“Then I would like you to make it into a sword.”
Damian and Isaac were both stunned for a moment by the immediate answer that came out without even a second of comma, and then burst into laughter.
It was because I felt a deep sense of kinship as a swordsman.
Damian said as he handed the iron hand to Isaac.
“Send it to the Zehaire family with my name on it. “As for production costs, you can just tell them to take whatever pieces are left over from making it.”
“All right.”
When Isaac left the director’s office with it, Leonard, who was left alone, blinked.
And Damien, who had finished writing the report, put it in a drawer and looked at him.
It was because I had something to say about the future.
“Because of what happened to [Pollux], I’m thinking of giving you and Division 3 a vacation for about a month. “It may take some time until your sword is completed in Zehaire.”
“understand.”
“However, a request for support from the Black Dragon Knights has arrived.”
Leonard’s face tensed at those words.
Black Dragon Knights.
It was the name of an order of knights in charge of demoniacs.
A hostile race that crawled up from deep underground, doubtful as to whether it is similar to what is called a demon in the central plains. Since all he knew about demons was the explanations he had heard before, he naturally listened to Damian.
“Seeing as they only requested one leader-level person, I don’t think it’s that urgent. You probably need reserve forces or reinforcements to prepare for unexpected situations. So, I was thinking of going alone.”
Telling Leonard that story now would be like revealing his entire intention.
Damian tried to ask him about his intentions but immediately ended up laughing.
“… Ha, looking at your face, I don’t think I need to say more.”
Even though I was extremely exhausted from the battle with [Pollux], the anticipation of facing a new enemy was burning.
It is an exhilarating feeling that even non-longan users can understand.
Damian, who read it in Leonard’s eyes, walked over to the bookshelf and selected several books. It’s not a book worth looking for in the White Dragon Knights, but since they were in a position to be recruited to another knighthood at any time from the Danju level, they had to know each other’s areas of expertise.
“This should be enough for the basic information you need to know about demons. “The Black Dragon Knights’ base that requested support is scheduled to be visited in 15 days, so make sure you are familiar with it by then.”
“All right.”
“Go back and get some rest. “If you want to fully recover within 15 days, don’t move for no reason.”
Leonard said yes and left the room.
All ten fingers were twitching because I wanted to open the books in his arms right away. In the eyes burning with fighting spirit and curiosity, the fatigue he felt from the life-or-death battle with [Pollux] was nowhere to be seen.
‘Black Dragon Knights, demons.’
Just two words were swirling in his head.
