Sword Emperor Reincarnated as a Sword Master Chapter 161

Sword Emperor Reincarnated as a Swordsmith (165)

Since Audrey was away, the two returned to [Ivory Forest] without further delay.

Who would have thought that what I thought would be a short visit would keep me from coming back for months? I couldn’t feel the atmosphere that was always tense with tension. Due to the influence of [Hell Gate], there was a contrast between the scenery of the canyon area and the forest, where not even a single weed could be found.

It was quite natural as we compared the base of the Black Dragon Knights, which was like the front line, with the garrison in the rear.

“Leonard.”

Damien said, yawning so loudly that his jaw creaked.

“I’ll go back and get some sleep. There’s still some time left before Grace visits, so don’t go out and take care of yourself. “It seems like you’ve been harassed in many ways by the old people of the Black Dragon.”

“It was a better experience than I expected.”

“They say there is something to be learned by teaching others, but it’s not easy to do that at your age.”

Damian, who was taken aback by Leonard’s words, immediately burst into laughter.

It was because what I said was absurd.

If he had been an ordinary boy, there would have been no reason for a few knight commanders to throw down their heads and stand in line. He was the one who subdued [Castor], whose combat power was only at the intermediate level, and created a technique that could change the battle situation of the Black Dragon Knights.

“Well, I guess you can take care of it. See you later.”

Their companionship ended there.

Watching Damian walk away with a light wave, Leonard noticed that there was quite a bit of damage accumulated on his body.

It was hidden so well that it was difficult to see even with the long eye, but the flow of energy circulating through the five organs and six parts was distorted. It means that you have suffered a serious injury, even if it is not fatal.

‘The sun god [Apollon], was he strong enough to be seriously injured even when three knight commanders attacked him together?’

Leonard was amazed as he imagined its terrifying majesty.

‘They say it’s one of the five fingers on Olympus, but they didn’t say that the godhead symbolizing the sun is dangerous for no reason. Except for [Zeus], ​​[Poseidon], and [Hades], there is no god greater than him.’

The sun is a celestial body that inevitably plays a significant role in civilization. The deity that symbolized it was at least the level of a great minister, and in the case of some gods, there were many cases where they were treated as the level of a god.

[Ra] has the status of creation god and sun god.

[Surya], who has the status of a light god and sun god.

[Shamash] has the status of a law god and sun god.

There have been numerous other examples. Like lightning, the sun had an attribute that made its owner more powerful.

‘… If you think about it, the three-legged crow was also a divine beast belonging to the sun. There may be room for reference in .’

Even though Cárdenas did not condone the existence of Hessin, he had no particular interest in digging into or imitating its power.

Because the root of martial arts is basically imitation.

One of the basic martial arts of the Shaolin Temple, Shaolin Five Fists, also consists of movements deeply related to beasts. Because he was born as a weakling, he longed for power and wanted to learn from the movements of the strong.

“Oh, it’s Leonard!”

But before he could consider it further, someone approached him quickly and greeted him warmly.

It was Janet, the White Dragon Knight who accompanied [Castor] in his subjugation.

Her hair, as red as a rose, fluttered briefly to the rhythm of her steps. Two swords were still attached to his waist, and his left leg was limping, as if he had been injured.

“Sir Janet, it’s been a while.”

“That’s what I’m going to say! “I heard that I was drafted into the Black Dragon Knights, but I didn’t know that I would be detained for several months.”

“It was an unexpected situation for me too.”

I just wanted to test whether anti-demon martial arts would work against demons, but not only did I get to participate in the base defense, but I also ended up serving as an instructor teaching martial arts to the Black Dragon Knights.

In the end, everything worked out well, but if Leonard had known two months ago, he might have hesitated a bit.

Janet didn’t press further as she recognized her feelings.

“By the way, did you hear that we defeated [Circe]? “The leader said he would let me know.”

“I heard that. “The 3rd division subdued it.”

“I guess you just told me that [Circe] was captured. Anyway, the leader is being too half-hearted? “We only focus on the most important issues and ignore everything else.”

“You are definitely that kind of person.”

Leonard agreed with those words and nodded his head.

If Audrey was a principled person who would not go through a single needle, Damian was a goaltender who doggedly pursued only one thing.

The method was to send away all the bycatch and fry and thoroughly reel in only the big fish. From the perspective of his superiors, he may seem like a savvy guy, but from the perspective of his subordinates, he had to handle the trivial tasks.

He was competent, but not the type of person you would call a good boss.

“This injury was also inflicted by [Circe]. “Compared to [Pollux], it wasn’t a big deal, but since they kept spraying poison and summoned beasts, I had no choice but to endure injuries big and small.”

“Are you okay?”

“I will be crippled for a month because of the curse that penetrated my wound. “Hugo, Grady, and Isaac Danju are all similar.”

Even at a low level, the danger and unexpectedness could not be ignored. It was enough to cause all the White Dragon Knights, who would definitely be ranked high in the Transcendental World, to suffer from serious injuries.

If it were not for the know-how accumulated in Cardenas and Wickline’s cooperation, even after defeating [Circe], some people could have died from not being able to detoxify the poison.

Since he had seen a book related to [Circe] in the Knights of the White Dragon, Leonard’s guess was already close to a given.

‘She was an evil woman who turned others into monsters due to jealousy in a romantic relationship, or transformed people into livestock like pigs to kill her boredom. ‘I don’t think she’ll just disappear just because she lost fair and square.’

Just because someone is brazen doesn’t mean he or she is arrogant or cruel.

There are also Heoshin who, like [Tir], accept an era in which their existence cannot be tolerated, and who, like [Pollux], accept a duel like a warrior.

However, just as humans are so diverse that it is impossible to distinguish them all into good and evil, so were the gods. There were consistently good gods and evil gods, but there were also gods who did not fall into either category. [Circe] was a deity close to evil in that neutral zone.

“I’m glad it’s not a curse that leaves permanent aftereffects.”

Leonard’s Dragon Eye read the curse remaining on his left leg and knew that it would disappear completely in about a month.

[Circe] may have existed in the past, but it seems that she was unable to leave behind such a long-lasting curse in her state of deterioration, with only fragments remaining.

Janet also seemed to know this and smiled brightly.

“It’s still too early to retire from the front line. “I’m going to wait another 50 years and then think about it slowly.”

It was a simple statement, but Leonard knew it.

Surviving safely for 50 years in the 7th Knights of Cardenas was by no means an easy task. He is in a position where he has to deal with beings such as Elyos, Demons, and Heosin on a daily basis. One mistake can lead directly to death or something similar. A transcendental powerhouse who would take wealth and fame for granted was no different from the life of a fly.

Even the knight commander was in a situation that made no difference. Reaching half-nervous nerves guarantees a lifespan of at least 300 years, but even Wade, who is considered the oldest, is not yet 200 years old.

‘It probably means that all those older than that were killed in action.’

Those who only see the glory of the Arcadian Empire will not be able to recognize it until they die. Just like the kingdom’s death squad that was jealous of Cardenas’ honor, they will continue to repeat foolish things.

They do not even know whose blood and sacrifices have protected the peaceful era they have enjoyed without even realizing it.

“Leonard.”

Janet called him.

“If you had just returned, you wouldn’t have even been to the dorm, right?”

“Yes, but.”

“The sword made from [Pollux’s] iron hand arrived the day before yesterday. “I sent it to your dorm, so check it right away when you get back.”

“ah.”

Leonard remembered something he had forgotten for months.

It was a memory of acquiring the Iron Hand, which contains the power of the god [Pollux], as a trophy, and requesting it from Zehaire.

Two months had passed, so it was only natural that the finished product would come back.

“All right. “After this, we will plan the remaining orders to subdue [Aiolos] after the 3rd Division is fully equipped.”

“Yes, I will relay that to you as well.”

Janet quickly walked away in the other direction, limping on her left leg just as she had come. Since he was a transcendental warrior, he could move well even without being able to use one of his legs.

Leonard, who had transmitted the back view to the end, turned around.

I thought the days of being obsessed with valuables were over, but it’s even weirder if you don’t have interest in a sword forged from the fragments of a god. His desire as a swordsman fanned the blood of his not-yet-ripened body several times more.

Leonard, who had traveled from the [Ivory Forest] to the accommodation located on the outskirts of the [Sword Forest] in just about 10 minutes, opened the door.

‘There is no accumulation of dust. Was it magically maintained, or was there someone who took care of it during my absence?’

Since Leonard rarely leaves his personal belongings behind, it wasn’t a situation that bothered either of them too much.

First of all, there was something that caught the eye.

“… “Is this it?”

Leonard saw a long object wrapped in leather of unknown material and carefully picked it up.

It’s not that I’m used to it, but the presence that is engraved in my instincts envelopes me.

It was the weight of the sword that any swordsman could not help but notice.

Sigh.

When the leather packaging was removed and the contents were taken out, the scabbard whose artistic value was difficult to deny was immediately revealed.

The pattern engraved as thin as scales was not at a level that could be considered excellent dexterity. It had reached a point where it could not be reproduced even if Leonard engraved it with his own swordplay.

Dwarfs are known as a race of artisans.

This would not have been possible without the skill of Zehaire, a family that inherited the lineage of Dverg, who was their ancestor. If a merchant with an aesthetic eye were to witness this, he would close his eyes and faint.

‘I could get 10,000 gold coins just by selling the sheath of the sword.’

However, it was its contents that had a value that was incomparable, even greater than that of the sword sheath.

Leonard unknowingly tensed and pulled the hilt of his sword.

Keying.

A sharpness that seemed to cut even sound slowly emerged from within the scabbard. Even though it was imbued with the power of [Pollux], its essence was cast iron, and the black blade bounced off light like a well-polished mirror, showing off a sleek appearance even in its swordplay.

It is not enough to say that this is a famous sword or a treasured sword.

Even compared to the sword made by Bijo and Gu Yaza, blacksmiths who existed in the ancient times, it was clear that it would be superior.

“If it had existed in the martial arts world, the surrounding area would have been stained with blood.”

There are many people whose eyes are drawn to strange treasures. Starting from experts who have reached the peak of their rise, to those in power who are rich in wealth and power. It was the same when the Chocheon Sword, the authenticity of which was not clear, caused a storm.

In the end, it was discovered that it was a counterfeit product, and everyone was wasted, but the number of people who died before it was discovered was in the triple digits.

Buzz buzz buzz!

Even though only a small amount of energy has been injected, a faint light appears on the blade. It was proof that the auror conductivity, or energy efficiency, as they call it in this world, was very excellent. The sword made of mithril composite that Cardenas provided as a supply was not of this quality.

Normally, if the auror’s conductivity was too high, the sword itself would become soft, but perhaps thanks to [Pollux’s] power, no damage or deformation occurred even when excessive use of the aura was attempted.

Even Leonard wouldn’t be able to bend or break this sword himself without mobilizing his half-heartedness.

“It’s literally a divine sword.”

Leonard looked down into the air and smiled deeply.

A sword made from a fragment of a god, imbued with materialized power, cancels out magic or power in itself. Unlike [Mimung], it did not reject energy, making it suitable for use as a main weapon.

It was a treasure that could be of help to 〈Seoshinryu〉, whose design was still vague.
