Sword Emperor Reincarnated as a Sword Master Chapter 170

Geomje reincarnated as a swordsmith (174)

It was a fatal wound.

If it were a human, even a half-ninja strong person would have died instantly, but the body of a god is perfect in itself, so the concept of a vital point is rare. It’s a shame that he destroyed the brain, which is closely related to the soul, and if he had pierced the heart or something, he could have fought back.

When Leonard pulled out the sword he had stabbed with the Ascension Dragon and took a few steps back, [Aiolos], who had a knife mark in the center of his skull, could see his pupils gradually becoming blurred.

―… Is that so, has this body been defeated?

Because he had a higher godhood than [Pollux], he did not die instantly.

Nevertheless, the ending was decided.

All of the giant soldiers that [Aiolos] had created with his powers had already dispersed, and his body had also become translucent. It was inevitable that it would not last long and disappear.

He was not injured by an ordinary sword, but was mortally wounded by a sword made from the remains of a god. Only those with a higher rank or higher or with special durability will be able to survive.

-It’s a shame. It was unfair to be swept away by a war and destroyed along with Aeolia, but to be defeated once again by mortals.

[Aiolos]’s cloudy eyes were not looking at Leonard standing in front of him, but at Aeolia during the War of Destruction.

At the end of the great war in which all of the Olympian gods were embroiled, his kingdom of Aeolia was operated as a shelter for the weak gods. If it had been a war against mortals, the lower-level gods would have been quite powerful, but in an all-out war with other gods, they were nothing more than an obstacle.

But even that peace did not last long and came to an end.

The hammer thrown by the thunder god [Thor] shattered the bronze castle wall, destroying several gods, and the fire god [Agni]’s Agneyastra (????????????) was taken to Aeolia Island. Everything was reduced to ashes.

―Is this an era in which impure mortals destroy the gods? ?

Compared to the old era, it was less than 20%, but it was still not enough for mortals to rival.

Those were the mortals that [Aiolos] remembered.

All they could do was fear and reverence the gods.

“Let me answer one thing clearly.”

Leonard said.

This was because the emotion felt in the regretful eyes was similar to the one I had seen and sneered at several times since my martial arts days.

They seemed no different from those who longed for the glory days of decades or hundreds of years ago, dismissed the present as a sin, and were anxious to overturn it. It was tantamount to proof that even if they were gods, they were just a race stronger than humans.

“Your time is over. “It’s never coming back.”

[Aiolos]’s eyes burned vividly with anger for a moment and then subsided. As a god, there was some resistance to accepting that fact, but it was evidence that he accepted what Leonard said.

Heo Shin, who accepted the end of the Age of God, smiled emptily.

-It’s just as he said. He simply pursued survival, but it seems he couldn’t let go of all his regrets. Although he called himself a god, he was no different from a mere dead person.

Is it because I let go of the small regrets that remained in my heart?

The disappearance of [Aiolos] accelerated even more, and before I knew it, everything from the neck down was scattered. If things continue like this, it will disappear within tens of seconds.

Leonard was watching the end until the end, and was a little embarrassed when he made eye contact with the other person. Even though he was on the verge of extinction, [Aeolus]’s eyes showed interest in him.

-You’re standing on the border, boy.

“boundary?”

-The path will diverge depending on what you choose at that crossroads. It’s a pity that I won’t be able to see how you will change… .

After muttering a few meaningful words, [Aiolos] soon lost even his appearance and disappeared.

The god of the monsoon has died.

It was the moment when Heshin [Aiolos] was completely defeated.

* * *

“Ah, are you back?”

Kalanta, who was waiting on the boat, greeted the group.

“The subjugation of [Aiolos] has been completed. “Nothing has been done to the inside of the new station, so Wickline will be able to dig it out on its own.”

“oh! That’s good. Aeolia is famous for having a very high public value. “Those who participated in this subjugation battle may also be given fairly high-level artifacts.”

“Is that so?”

Leonard responded appropriately and entered the cabin.

A top-quality artifact would be of great help in many ways, but martial arts will not develop if you rely too much on tools. For Leonard, who was even a few steps into the realm of antipathy, things outside of the body were nothing short of evil. It was clear that it would be a waste if Dragonheart were to destroy it again.

Above all, what he was thinking about right now was not loot or compensation.

‘Standing on the border? I?’

The words that [Aeolus] left behind kept coming to mind.

If he had simply said this to make me worry, there was no reason to be upset as my intuition seemed to agree with it.

‘I don’t think you were trying to discuss the level of antipathy.’

While completing “Seosinryu,” I wondered if his martial arts skills had improved significantly without him even realizing it, but that wasn’t the case.

The level of completion of 〈Ilwon Five Elements Geomgyeol〉 has only improved slightly.

As long as 〈Yellow Dragon〉, which was supposed to be the central axis of the five elements, was still unfinished, it was a long way to reach Banshin. If the conditions for entry into the Transcendental Sutra are the union of essence, energy, and God, I had almost guessed what the conditions for entry into the Banshin Sutra were.

Completing the world of imagination!

The realization of imagery at a temporary level was ultimately nothing more than tracing the boundaries of the half-nervous system. The door to the demi-god opens only after the small universe within the body becomes independent as a single world. In Leonard’s case, completing the Five Elements was the condition.

“… “The path diverges depending on what you choose at the crossroads.”

The tone was as if he was being given a choice.

Even if only fragments remained, the divinity and its insight and wisdom were not something that could be ignored. With just a little study, you can see how significant oracles were in ancient times.

‘If [Aeolus] was an insignificant god, I would have ignored it, but since his level is not that low, it’s easy to forget.’

Although it is a few numbers lower than a god specialized in battle like [Pollux], if Leonard was not included, at least ten White Dragon Knights would have to be dispatched to avoid casualties.

The fact that I used “Wandering Wind” after learning about Leonard’s sword caused a lot of physical energy consumption, which also played a role. It would have been quite a struggle if he had been manipulating four giant gods and directing them into a firefight.

Finding out the identity of the new sword and becoming more cautious meant that it directly led to defeat.

“?Leonard!”

It was then.

At the sound of a voice coming from outside the cabin, Leonard opened his eyes and faced Kalanta, who was standing outside the door.

For some reason, it was unusual for his complexion to be pale.

“Is there a problem?”

“Well, that’s it. “Cardenas, Bo, I got a call from my family.”

Not only does my voice tremble, I even stutter.

It was a side he had not shown even when he was suddenly drafted to the Black Dragon Knights and deployed to defend the base. In other words, it means that it is a more serious issue than it was at the time.

Leonard grabbed his shoulder and breathed his sincere energy into him.

“Oh, Leonard? This?”

When the tremors suddenly subsided, Kalanta looked at Leonard, who was holding her shoulder, with a surprised face. The way he started to fill his curiosity as soon as he got out of panic was truly wizard-like.

Leonard did not answer the question but looked at Calanta.

“The business that came to me takes priority. “What on earth was said to you at home that makes you so embarrassed?”

“iced coffee! Well, that’s it.”

It was only after he asked back that Kalanta, who came to his senses, opened his mouth.

“I received a message to specify the teleport return location as [Dragon Head] rather than [Forest of Swords].”

Leonard’s face hardened at those words.

‘Dragon head, it looks like you have no intention of hiding your identity.’

Like [Forest of Swords], each area of ​​Cardenas had a nickname related to its characteristics, and [Dragon Head] was so named because the entire island looked like a dragon’s skull.

However, what made [Dragon Head] mysterious was not its origin. This was because the knights stationed there were the Golden Dragon.

‘If the order had been given directly by Archduke Cardenas, it would have arrived as an order rather than a message. ‘You wouldn’t have even told me that.’

Although Kalanta showed some kindness to Leonard, it was not enough to go against the head of the Samgong family.

There is a high possibility that it is the opinion of the Golden Dragon Knights.

Leonard, who knew the conflict well from memories of his past life, saw through the essence of the message. Since the leaders of the 7th Knights are showing signs of opposition to his selection, they may be trying to do something by stealing Leonard away between missions.

―Keep abilities that can stimulate the Golden Dragon Knights hidden as much as possible. Although we respect the will of the person concerned, there are people among the blood relatives who revere the progenitor who can act in radical ways.

Leonard’s eyes narrowed as he remembered what Audrey said.

‘Has the radical faction that is said to exist within the Golden Dragon Knights stepped forward?’

Even if the intention was not known, trying to steal the money without the person’s knowledge was not an action that would be liked.

Leonard made his decision without any hesitation.

“Let’s return to [Forest of Swords]. Let’s first listen to what the leader said, and also consider why the return location was suddenly changed to [Yongmeori].”

“Gwae, is it okay?”

“I will take full responsibility.”

Only then did the agitation seem to subside, as Kalanta nodded once and left the cabin. If he had intended to betray him, he would not have revealed the secret message.

An old Murim proverb passed through Leonard’s mind.

‘The good will not be good, the good will not be good, the inner self will not be good.’

Few people come with good intentions, and most of those who come do not come with good intentions.

It was an expression that fit well with the approach of the Golden Dragon Knights.

There were only a few dozen minutes left before reaching land and teleporting to the [Sword Forest]. Leonard prepared for any unexpected situation by checking the [Mimung] in his left hand, the divine sword on his waist, and the spare sword in his subspace pouch.

My body, heated up by the battle with [Aiolos], had not yet cooled down.

* * *

just as expected.

Leonard and his group, who had teleported to the outskirts of [Forest of Swords], suddenly sensed a presence approaching from all directions.

Isaac muttered without hiding his suspicious expression.

“what? “I’ve never heard of a large-scale troop movement.”

Leonard said.

“Maybe they are the ones who came to see me.”

“what?”

It was quicker for an unknown person to surround them than to answer his question.

The White Dragon Knights, sensing the uneasy atmosphere, belatedly drew their swords.

To face a situation like this inside Cardenas, especially in the [Sword Forest], where the garrison of the 7th Knights is located just a stone’s throw away? Everyone was horrified, no matter who they were, but their decades of experience in combat were not in vain when they responded.

and.

Crash.

Four knights armed with golden full-plate mail.

From the top of my head to the tips of my toes, there wasn’t a single gap.

The knights who appeared one by one on the left, right, and left behind Leonard and his group sharpened their senses as if blocking the escape route. The sword fist extends nearly a hundred meters, covering the entire area and putting pressure on the group.

It felt as if the sword would be pulled out with even the slightest movement.

‘What, this is absurd…’ !?’

Leonard, who recognized the power of the Golden Knights, was secretly appalled.

‘These guys… Too strong. No matter how much the Golden Dragon Knights are the strongest in Cardenas, you can’t guarantee victory or defeat even if you fight just one person? It’s not even a sign that feels like half-heartedness, but is there a separate way to become this strong at the transcendental level?’

It felt a bit different than when I faced Damian or Audrey.

At that time, if the odds of winning didn’t even exist, there was a possibility that if you played against the Golden Knight, you would lose 90% of the time, but you could win 100% or 200% of the time.

Leonard is already at a level that is difficult to describe as transcendental, so the remaining White Dragon Knights cannot handle one Golden Knight even if four of them attack at once.

‘This is not a situation where we can do anything by force.’

Feeling cold sweat running down the back of his neck, Leonard tightly clenched his hand on the hilt of his sword.
