Geomje reincarnated as a swordsman (179)
Several weeks had passed since the unpleasant clash with the Golden Knights, but perhaps because Wade had expressed his position, the Golden Dragon no longer approached Leonard.
No, to be exact, I may have just not had that opportunity.
Following Wade’s advice, Leonard had been operating only within the Red Dragon Knights since that day.
I wasn’t bored or had anything to do.
A whole day could pass by just looking into the enlightenment of 〈Yellow Dragon〉, which I happened to hold in my hand, and polishing 〈Seoshinryu〉, which had only been completed in one piece.
‘The atmosphere of the Red Dragon Knights is quite different from other knights. ‘I always feel like I’m on edge.’
Leonard, who was heading to the training ground as always, slowly looked at the knights passing by.
There were many high-level artifacts in full-plate mail, and it looked like it was visiting a battlefield.
In reality, the analogy was not far off.
“It’s already been over a week since ‘Ant Cave in the Underworld’, but you haven’t even found a medium, let alone sutured it?”
“They say the terrain itself is in the shape of a maze, and the volume of ants is too much to handle. “Even though they kill 10,000 units a day, it might take another 15 days to be replenished the next day.”
“It’s even more problematic that it’s underground. “If we try to sweep them all at once with our conversational skills, the entire passage may collapse.”
As soon as a group of Red Dragon Knights pass by, knights from the opposite direction quickly pass by. Even though I only heard a few words, I could feel their fatigue.
It is a place where subjugation missions must be carried out every day, and it is famous for having the harshest work intensity even within the 7th Knights. It is not for nothing that the Red Dragon Knights boast the largest number of members.
Without that number of people, it would have been difficult to maintain the status quo.
‘When I think about it, the White Dragon Knights had a long period of subjugation. The Black Dragon Knights only have to overcome three or four battles a year, and then focus on individual training.’
In comparison, the Red Dragon Knights were like 24/7.
I don’t know the circumstances of the Green Dragon Knights and the Blue Dragon Knights, but they were probably no harsher than the Red Dragon Knights.
It was a disaster caused by differences in the tasks in charge.
‘In some ways, 〈Crack〉 may be a more serious problem than the Elyos, the Demons, or the Gods.’
The Elyos and Demons, whose passage to Middle Earth was limited, as well as the gods who were mere remnants of the old era, were not a major threat, except for a few top-level gods.
There was no need to mobilize the power of the progenitor, and it was only at a level that the 7th Knights could suppress or handle.
The Elyos and Demons, which can be said to be the higher species of modern humans, move while considering the pros and cons, and the worst case scenario is unlikely to occur because the number and power of the Gods are limited.
So, is this really the case for “Cracks” and “Demon Sutra”?
‘Unless we can identify and eliminate the cause of the
Even Arcadia, which occupies more than half of the continent, cannot understand the entire world.
This was the case even in the 6th sea area of the Atlantis Maritime Union, a place that was swallowed up by the Demon Lord. The Demonic Land, which has been neglected for hundreds of years, has long since polluted the area and created an area where alien species can freely roam.
If an enemy higher than a demigod appeared there, Atlantis, which did not possess a deterrent level of a demigod, would soon be doomed.
“It’s difficult.”
Leonard had to let out a long sigh without realizing it.
I wasn’t very interested in things like world peace or the international situation, but I did not want the entire world to be headed toward destruction.
The more you know, the more you worry.
The mindset that yesterday was okay, so tomorrow will be okay too, ultimately didn’t solve anything. There is also a line that is visible only to those who know it is meaningless but are still looking for the answer.
‘… indeed. It is also understandable why the Golden Dragon Knights are so obsessed with the resurrection of their founder.’
It was Leonard who unintentionally came to understand the Golden Dragon’s long-awaited wish.
‘It reminds me of the saying that if a hundred precepts are useless, think about whether your own strength is lacking.’
There was a limit to the crisis that could be overcome with cleverness.
If only one strong person of Shinhwagyeong is born, all of these seemingly inexplicable situations will be completely resolved.
The Elyos and Demons, who are no different from the by-products of the gods, will even be wiped out from their bases, and if they are vanity gods who have lost their essence, even the highest level of godhood cannot handle being a true god.
Even if the foreign gods who opened the gap with the Demonic Sutra came directly, the battle between the god who was hostile to the world and the god who was protected by the world was bound to be unilaterally in favor of the latter.
and.
‘ah.’
Leonard instinctively realized why the Golden Knights suddenly deviated. He relied more on intuition than logical reasoning.
If the progenitors were completely resurrected, it would be because they would no longer be bound by the sacrificial role of ‘vessel’.
‘Did you judge that I had a high possibility of becoming the resurrected body of the progenitor? who? If we have failed without a single exception up to now, we should expect to fail this time too, no matter who steps up.’
It was a ritual to revive the existence of Shinhwagyeong.
Even if all of the 9th rank archmages existing in the present era participate, it is possible to figure out something that is close to impossible to the point where they can discuss the possibility as soon as they see Leonard?
It was nonsense.
My intuition, unable to find any more clues, became calm again.
“?hmm?”
It was that moment.
As Leonard approached the training ground, I felt a sense of power and determination that was even foreign to him. I had experienced it once before, but it felt incomparably fainter than now.
Leonard, who naturally turned his gaze in that direction, said, “Ah,” and understood my sense of déjà vu.
“Haaaab!”
It was William.
Just like his father, his blond eyes are ablaze with red aura, and a haze of colors similar to a sunset overflows. I had a clear determination to cut the Red Dragon Knight standing tall in front of me into two pieces.
The density of the auror, which was not considered to be a 10th level external power technique, and the perfection of the vertical slash were indeed worthy of praise.
however.
Kaaaaang!
The Red Dragon Knight standing across from William now seemed to be a man of transcendental skill, especially one who had reached the limit.
The Red Dragon Knights are a place where even a youngster can turn into a veteran after just one or two months. How fearsome would be the combat power of someone who survived there for years or decades?
The Red Dragon Knight’s counterattack, without even raising an eyebrow, crushed his defensive posture and kicked William, who was buried in the ground up to his ankles, in the chest.
“?Bwak!”
William, who did not let go of the hilt of his sword even as blood spurted out of his throat, regrouped a few meters away.
As it was, it wouldn’t be surprising if he fainted from the blow.
With his ‘telekinesis’, he accurately predicted the point of impact and absorbed more than half of the power, so he ended up only coughing up some blood.
‘There is a big difference in skill. I understand that you are challenging the strong in order to cross the transcendental realm, but there will be no great gains if you do it this way.’

The hands of the Red Dragon Knight dealing with William were cruel, but the wounds were not fatal or had murderous intent.
It was natural.
It was difficult to find a group that practiced life and death in the same way, even within the martial arts world. If you are at a third or second level level, you can recruit as many people as you want, but at first level and above, each and every person is precious. There was no way I could stick to a training method that required me to consume it like water.
Moreover, William was the only son of Wade, the pinnacle of the Red Dragon Knights. Wade wasn’t the type of person to hold a grudge against him due to an injury he received during training, but his mindset of just in case made him hesitate to use the sword.
Whoops!
While Leonard was thinking that, William, who had been unilaterally beaten by dozens of sums, flew several meters and fell to the ground.
The sword fighting was accurate, but the power difference was too large.
If you are an opponent who cannot be defeated with a straight attack, you have to outwit him by any means possible, but the skill gap was such that it was difficult to inflict even a single wound even if you pierced through a thousand attacks.
“So far. “I will take a 10-minute break.”
William, who rebelled against the words of the Red Dragon Knight who had sheathed his sword, raised himself up and let out an unintelligible sound.
“… I-I… ! Still, can, can… !”
“stop.”
Even if you proceed in that state, it will end in one blow.
As if to teach him, the Red Dragon Knight’s kick, which approached him with one step, struck his chin, cutting off William’s faint consciousness.
William, who had collapsed in place, soon regained consciousness, but his physical condition was so close to complete that it was difficult to quickly treat him with potions.
“You’re too impatient.”
Leonard suddenly approached William and said.
William’s face twitched, perhaps because he was shocked by the advice, but he immediately regained his composure and calmly asked back.
“What are you going to say?”
Leonard realized what he was thinking and added a few words.
“I’m not saying that I’m impatient to take on the challenge of transcending menstruation.”
“then?”
“It was a question of methodology to try to overcome the wall. Challenging a difficult enemy is courageous, but challenging an enemy that cannot be defeated is nothing but foolishness. “If the level difference is enormous, there is nothing to be gained in the process.”
It was the same when Yeon Moo-hyeok in his previous life faced Dan Mok-jin, the Heavenly Demon. What he gained from that life-or-death situation was because Dan Mok-jin pointed out his problems in detail, not because he learned it on his own.
But William answered with a dissatisfied face.
“I heard your story.”
“what?”
“You were the biggest contributor to defeating the shadows of Cruzis who infiltrated the Galapagos Islands. “It was Sir Fabian who put an end to it, but I heard you single-handedly took down that leader.”
Although the content was lengthy, the logic was very simple.
Leonard burst into laughter when he said, “If you could do it, I can do it too.”
It was because I could feel the boyish drive and warrior-like winning spirit.
“That case is a little special. Regardless of my level, my swordsmanship skills were better than that guy’s, and he was a transcendental master, but I had built up my skills the wrong way. So it was possible to fight on equal footing with my skills.”
And, said Leonard, pointing to the Red Dragon Knight.
“The knight who took on your opponent a little while ago is several times stronger than that bastard. “It’s not something we can discuss the odds of winning when we haven’t even reached the transcendental realm.”
At those words, the Red Dragon Knight sighed and cleared his throat.
Although he was embarrassed by the blatant praise, the advice Leonard gave him was something he had been thinking about as well.
I didn’t know how to convey it because I didn’t have the words, so I tried to make myself realize it by sparring. I was in a bit of trouble because it was attacking me with a momentum that wouldn’t stop even if I hit it to death.
William, who agreed to Leonard’s words, immediately smiled bitterly.
“… understood. Thanks for the advice. “Lord Bellington, thank you for accepting my request for sparring.”
“Hmm.”
The Red Dragon Knight called Bellington returned to the edge of the training ground while maintaining his solemn voice.
In the Red Dragon Knights, where there was little time for personal training, time was like money. If it weren’t for William’s request, there would have been no time for a mere apprentice.
William, who checked his physical condition, grumbled slightly.
“As a result, I was beaten without much gain? “I feel like I just need to take one or two more steps, but it’s frustrating because I can’t.”
Leonard, who could not have been unaware of William’s feelings, thought about it for a moment and then casually made a suggestion.
“Shall we play for the first time in a while?”
William, who had heard about his activities knowingly or unknowingly, frowned. Even if only half of the rumors were true, it was clear that it was several times stronger than the Belington it faced a while ago.
“what? Do you want to hit me too?”
“No, I thought of a method that would help me ascend to the Transcendental View. “If you’re ready, I’ll give it a try.”
“It’s a test… “It means it’s not even certain, that’s for sure.”
Leonard asked, tilting his head.
“So you’re saying you won’t do it?”
William answered with an expression that there was nothing to worry about.
“Let’s get started right away.”
