Geomje reincarnated as a swordsmith (161)
The battle that took place in the underground cave soon came to an end as the demons who could not demonstrate even half of their power due to [Yongeon] died easily.
Perhaps due to the loss of the chain of command, the demons that had been steadily biting the battle lines had turned into a ragtag group.
It wasn’t enough that Shamos, the ‘brain’ demon, died suddenly, and the next-highest-ranking demons, the ‘tongue’ demons, were also wiped out, so there was no way it could be properly controlled. Even though the ‘Claw’ demons have high intelligence, their control is directly proportional to their power. In most cases, ‘Leather’ or ‘Bone’ resisted or rebelled against their authority to command.
Keying.
Leonard, who cut the ‘bone’ demon that was charging towards the end into several pieces, stretched out his sword.
From beneath my feet to the horizon, the corpses of demons were piled up with nowhere to step. Most of them were demons of ‘flesh’ and ‘blood’, but there were quite a few demons of ‘skin’ or shattered ‘bones’ that were intercepted by magic and fell to the ground.
‘Are you afraid of the perm of ‘Weitabok Demon Sword’ but not giving up the fight? ‘It’s terrible.’
Soldiers who do not know how to retreat even in the face of a natural enemy they have never experienced before, and are willing to die when ordered to do so by a higher-ranking demon.
Even the blood cultists who absolutely obeyed the words of their religious leader were not like this.
It is not a loyalty that relies on madness or brainwashing, but you can even feel the law that exists in its nature. Do beings in the demon world have their names engraved on a soul-by-soul basis?
“Instructor! It’s a great victory! “There are a few seriously injured, but no deaths!”
Before he knew it, the Black Dragon Knight came up to Leonard’s side and reported with excitement about his accomplishments.
It was as if he was treating a superior of the Black Dragon Knights.
“Send the seriously wounded to the rear first, and organize the battlefield while paying attention to confirming and killing the rest of the demons. “Let’s finish the work before the leaders return.”
“I will follow your orders!”
Leonard, who was accustomed to treating others poorly rather than treating them with respect, accepted the treatment without much thought.
Due to the activities of the Black Dragon Knights this time, his price soared even further. He deserved it because he possessed unrivaled military power and the knowledge to change the battle lines.
This is true even if only one thing, 〈Weitabok Demon Sword〉, is learned, but if they also learn a few mental techniques, the Black Dragon Knights could literally become demon butchers.
‘I don’t even need to go to the method of ascending mind, I just need to teach Shaolin Temple’s ‘Diamond Gong’ or Taoism’s ‘Jeongmyeong Gong (正明功)’. Martial artists who need to understand the sutra can call on Juhwa Ipma for no reason.’
Leonard searched through his old memories and selected martial arts that should be passed on to the Black Dragon Knights. This was something I witnessed several times in the central plains, but in many ways, it was difficult for Saekmokin (色目人) or Japanese (倭人), whose values and culture were so different, to teach martial arts.
In the case of Japan, there were cases where they learned a little bit of Buddhism, but Saekmok people were completely ignorant of Taoism and Buddhism.
As a result, in the process of learning martial arts, there were many cases where the character’s energy and blood were distorted due to misinterpretation of the nine points, or he fell into a demonic nature.
‘Because there are not many martial arts techniques that only describe the use of energy in a practical way like 〈Weitabokma Sword〉… I might have to do some work.’
It was more difficult to find a practical faction like the communal faction.
Even the Hwasan Sect, which became famous as the prodigal son of a Taoist in the Old School Ilbang, had a Taoist sect that raised only Taoists separately, while the Gongong Sect trained only warriors who cut down Sima Mao Dao without any formality.
Although Gwangseongja (廣成子), known as the founder, would regret it, it was a sect that rose to the top of the old faction thanks to its practicality.
It was then.
“The leaders are returning!”
As I turned to the sound of someone shouting, I saw figures approaching at high speed from the horizon.
‘You came.’
Of course it was Audrey and Damien.
* * *
With the return of the two knight commanders, the battle aimed at defending the base came to an end. Most of the demons who fell to the
The Black Dragon Knights and the Magic Corps captured or finished off the returned demons without the slightest effort.
The captured ones will now be provided to Wickline’s wizards for experimentation, and will be used to uncover useful information and weaknesses in the anti-demon front.
and.
“… 27 seriously injured, no deaths? “Not even one?”
Audrey’s eyebrows rose high when she saw the battle monument.
It had to be that way.
Even though the magic corps concentrated on wave attacks from the rear, it was a monumental situation that not a single member of the Black Dragon Knights, who were at the forefront as an anvil, died.
“yes! That’s right!”
Gilbert, the leader of the 7th division who had come to report to Audrey, looked at Leonard with a smile on his face.
I don’t know how long it’s been since I’ve smiled without a trace right after a battle.
“It is thanks to the instructor who took the lead in blocking the language used by the ‘tongue’ demons and killing them all! “If it hadn’t happened, there would have been ten deaths!”
If a melee was going on, the only way to deal with a deluded ally was to cut off their consciousness or kill them.
The ‘tongue’ demon was one of the reasons I was reluctant.
Wouldn’t it be better to be killed by a powerful enemy, or to be manipulated by an enemy and then die at the hands of an ally? Conversely, even those who kill their colleagues are left with a trauma that is difficult to forget.
If Leonard hadn’t used [Dragon], several people would have been sacrificed until all the ‘tongue’ demons were wiped out.
“How can you block the [statements] they use?”
“I do not know! When the instructor yelled at him to shut up, he seemed to be scared by what he said, so he kept his mouth shut! ha ha ha!”
“… … her?”
Damian, who had been receiving the report with a proud face, was the first to harden his expression, and Audrey also widened her eyes as if she had reached a similar conclusion.
Since I knew that Leonard had awakened the trait of ‘heart’, perhaps? The flow of thought has reached [Yongeon].
But I couldn’t ask any questions here.
This was because Zefar, the leader of the magic corps dispatched from Wickline, spoke to the two people.
“Thank you for your hard work, Captain Audrey.”
“Ah, is it Zephyr?”
The knight and wizard exchanged words after bowing to each other.
“I was quite surprised by the performance of the Black Dragon Knights. “It’s been a long time since we had such an overwhelming victory.”
“I was surprised too. I never thought I would make a happy miscalculation after defeating the boss. “I guess this is all thanks to the new wave.”
“If it’s a new wave… “There is a face I haven’t seen before.”
Zephyr’s eyes, brightened by Audrey’s words, returned to Leonard and then back to the front.
“I have developed an Auror operation method that works well against demons. “If the principle or structure of that power is revealed, I will share it with you.”
“thank you. We will also try harder with the samples we obtained during this battle. “I will definitely repay you, especially the corpse of ‘Tongue’.”
“hmm.”
Basically, Wickline’s role was to clean up after the battle.
Cardenas, who entrusted the task to Zefar and the magic corps, immediately took care of the wounded, and the two knight commanders quickly moved to the barracks with Leonard.

If the story about [Yongeon] was true, it was not an issue they could ignore.
“Leonard.”
Damian used Aurors to spread a curtain around the barracks to prevent sound from leaking out before he asked Leonard a question.
“Did you really write it? [Jong-Eon]?”
“It’s hard for me to be sure of that, too.”
Leonard said.
“The moment I experienced the [false words] used by the tongue demons, I felt the power lurking inside me boiling over.”
If [Yongeon] is a word that gives an order as a higher being, [Illusion] is a lie made with the purpose of deceiving and manipulating the other person.
Leonard was not only able to shake off that influence with a single attack, but he also had the ability to tell the truth. Among the characteristics of the eyes, heart, and hemolysis, these were the organs that functioned as the core.
As a result, what the ‘tongue’ demon did was the same as attacking a shaman sect master with Taijiquan he had learned from the street.
“I told him to shut up because he could only speak three syllables, and it worked better than I expected.”
“Three syllables at a time? Or in one day?”
“In my experience, it is closer to the latter. “I don’t know the deadline because I don’t know where the power I’m consuming comes from or at what speed it replenishes.”
It did not consume internal energy or mental power.
It was clear that he had written something that could not yet be recognized at Leonard’s level. Because there is no ability in this world that can be exercised for free.
“… Damn, if it’s [Yongeon], things are really getting bigger.”
Audrey nodded her head as if agreeing with what she was saying to herself.
“If Golden Dragon knows, there will be a request for recruitment tomorrow. Even if the four leaders exercise their right to veto, we can push ahead with it.”
“I guess I should bury it. Fortunately, the kids didn’t seem to notice.”
“This is the first ability revealed in the family’s history. Like
The knight commanders who were talking to Leonard about something he didn’t know much about soon urged him to trust them.
“If you have eyes to see [adjectives], avoid using them as much as possible. “It may be rare for people to recognize him, but once word of mouth spreads, there’s no stopping him.”
“If you expose anyone, please tell me or Damien. “We will do our best.”
Leonard, who did not understand the situation, asked back.
This is because I didn’t know why [Yongeon] had to be hidden so much.
“Is there any reason why I shouldn’t be drafted into the Golden Dragon Knights? “It seems like you two are wary of that.”
“Okay.”
“hmm.”
It was a question I had been preparing for, but the two knight commanders could not think of an appropriate answer and had to keep their mouths shut.
Golden Dragon Knights.
It was a group that was treated as a separate group even within the 7th Order of Knights, and anyone who was not at the leader level was prohibited from knowing its true nature. It’s impossible to tell them everything, and if you just hide it, you’ll end up feeling repulsive.
“… “The Golden Dragon Knights are an organization created for the purpose of succeeding to the leadership of the Cardenas family.”
“sister!”
Damian, who was startled by Audrey’s words, tried to stop him, but she calmly calmed him down and spoke.
“I’ll tell you only what I’m allowed to say. “So that you can guess why you should not be selected for the Golden Dragon.”
Leonard listened quietly from his place.
“The purpose of the Golden Dragon Knights is very simple. The founder Cardenas is the second coming of this era. “It means bringing in the great heroes who founded this country along with the founding emperor.”
“It’s not a reappearance, it’s a second coming. What do you mean?”
“It means literally. “How much do you know about the founding story of Arcadia?”
After searching his memory for a moment, he answered her question.
“During the gap after the War of Destruction, dragons were reigning and exploiting the whole world, and Emperor Geon Guk recruited the founders of the Three Dukes family and overthrew the dragons with them… .”
“You’re not wrong. Then have you ever thought about why the founder Cardenas’ bloodline is mixed with dragons?”
Leonard thought about those words for a moment.
Unless the progenitor Cardenas violated the dragon he brought as a trophy, he could not think of a natural reason for giving birth.
“As I said earlier, it was not a forced relationship.”
At the remark that seemed to guess his thoughts, Leonard flinched and looked at Audrey.
She told the secret story with a face that said she knew it would happen.
“The blood of non-human races flows through every single branch of the Samgong family. To be precise, the expression ‘mixed with human blood’ is more likely. “In the first place, Progenitor Cardenas, Progenitor Wicklein, and Progenitor Zehire were all not human.”
“… … no way.”
When Leonard trembled with realization as if he had been struck by lightning, Audrey nodded, saying that her guess was as expected.
It was something that could be said to be the greatest secret story of the empire.
“Ragna, the founding emperor of Arcadia and the first emperor, had three wives. “None of the three were human, and they were of different races.”
“The founder Cardenas… Was it a dragon?”
Audrey, who confirmed Leonard’s words, added a few words.
“Wicline was a high elf, and Jehai was a dverg.”
It was the name of a higher species of elves and dwarves that existed in ancient times.
As the world tree became completely extinct, no more high elves were born, and the blood of Dvergr, who inherited the blood of the blacksmith god, faded over time.
Enough of their story for another time.
What we need to discuss here now is about Cárdenas.
“Even though he was born as a dragon, he was a special species who loved swords and martial arts, and longed for a life like a mortal flame.”
Cardenas, the Empress of Swords, who ended the era of dragons along with the founding emperor Ragnar.
The founder of this family was an unprecedented great hero who was unable to return to his true form at the cost of killing his compatriots.
