Sword Emperor Reincarnated as a Sword Master Chapter 178

Geomje reincarnated as a swordsmith (182)

‘No, it’s closer to Hyegwangsim-eo (慧光心語). It was said that he made a big show of his presence during the sparring with Izmel, but it was not enough to know my location, and it was a sound that made no difference in time.’

As expected, he was a monster that could be said to be of a different rank even among the knight commanders who gathered only those with strong opposition.

Leonard was impressed by the method, but followed Wade’s instructions. He started to use light techniques, his body rose in one step, jumped tens of meters in two steps, and headed toward the office.

Since a red alert was issued, it didn’t really matter if you violated the speed limit. If the discipline intended to strictly correct military discipline were to destroy the military, that was a complete reversal of the point.

Leonard said, arriving at the office less than a minute later.

“Did you call me?”

“hmm.”

Wade, who sat facing the desk as always, nodded.

He was not someone who would be agitated by things like red alerts.

“It looks like you have adapted to the Red Dragon Knights.”

Wade signed a few papers and pushed them into a corner before looking at Leonard. Golden eyes that look as transparent as glass beads. Eyes that did not reveal their emotions were fluttering quietly.

Commander of the Red Dragon Knights.

Cardenas’ strongest knight commander licked his lips, looking no different from his usual self.

“Honestly, I’m a little embarrassed by how many times you exceeded my expectations, not to mention the fact that you helped relieve William’s stagnation.”

“That’s too much praise.”

“It wasn’t a compliment. Although I am certainly grateful for my son’s work.”

Wade said, making Leonard nervous again.

“The Red Dragon Knights carry out missions much more frequently than other knights, so their unit organization and level of proficiency are high. Even if the performance of the unit increases when you are deployed, it is inevitable that discord will arise.”

Unlike the eliteization of individuals, the eliteization of groups was bound to become more exclusive as its efficiency increased. This was because tactical superiority could only be achieved if it was undetectable from the outside.

Starting with hand signals, building formations, and linking together fluidly even without communication.

It was a step that required time regardless of force or level.

“… “I guess I can’t help it.”

Wade muttered as he closed his eyes for a moment and then opened them.

“You continue to follow me. Even in , you will only travel to places with high risk, is that okay?”

The Knight Commander was a force to deal with beings of at least a demigod level, so just staying around him was a fatal threat.

But there was no way Leonard, like anyone else, would refuse that. This was because he had an excuse to stick around with Wade, who he thought held the clue to ‘Yellow Dragon’.

“of course. “I didn’t train my body to be so weak that I couldn’t keep it healthy.”

“hmm.”

In response to the answer without the slightest hesitation, a very faint line appeared on the corner of Wade’s mouth and soon disappeared.

Then he spoke in a voice that did not reveal his emotions.

“I don’t think I know anything about the contents of the red alert.”

“Yes that’s right.”

“Let me explain briefly. “I’ll say it only once, so you can memorize it without missing anything.”

Wade said, picking up a report from the table.

“〈Makyung〉, which has become the epicenter of the red alert this time, is the domain of foreign media that collapsed the world tree in the past. Nastr?nd, an ancient word meaning ‘coast of corpses.’”

“If it’s the Coast of Corpses… “The undead will appear.”

“It’s just as you said. It is said that Nastrond snatches away souls steeped in vice and tortures them for eternity. “There are bound to be countless dead people who hate the living and try to escape Nastrond by stealing their bodies.”

Wade taught us about the enemies we would face in Nastrond, , and at the same time pulled out an old document.

Nastrond’s foreign messenger was the one who sunk his fangs into the roots of the world tree Yggdrasil in the distant past. Since he is a foreign journalist who actively covers the world, the amount of information collected by past Red Dragon Knights was also considerable.

The content transcribed in the ancient document was a compilation of the details.

“Niðhoggr, the foreign god who rules there, is a god called ‘the hateful attacker’ or ‘the mocking slayer’ in ancient languages, and has a form similar to a dragon. “Even if it’s the Demon Lord, the erosion level has to be extremely high for a foreign god level to descend, so there’s no chance of encountering it during this expedition.”

However, this did not mean that the danger level of was lowered. If the foreign god descended directly, it would be an incident that would put not only Cardenas but the entire empire at risk, but even if only the apostle or incarnation of the foreign god descended, the entire Red Dragon Knights would have to be mobilized.

Leonard, who had encountered the presence of foreign powers in Atlantis, knew well how absurd that power was. A being that paralyzed many master-level strongmen with no trace of murderous intent or hostility.

Even if you get to the halfway point, there is no such thing as a chance of winning.

“According to ancient documents, Nidhogg has seven apostles, all of whom are demigod-level monsters. If there is a being that can become the core of , there are no candidates other than them. There is no way all seven of them appeared, and looking at the erosion diagram in the Demonic Sutra, it is judged that there are at most two.”

Pablo, who was defeated in Atlantis, was also an apostle of foreign powers, but there was no way that he who was nothing more than a toy had the same level of status as those who had been following him around like limbs since ancient times.

Leonard cautiously opened his mouth.

“If there are two demigod-level monsters… “Isn’t this an issue that requires leader-level support from other knights?”

“We have already sent a request for support. “They said it would arrive in an hour.”

Wade, who answered the question, added a few words.

“In Wickline, not Cardenas. “In large-scale battles, a grand mage is more useful than a knight commander.”

“no way! Are the 9th rank members joining in?”

“Yes.”

Just as there was a half-hearted knight commander in Cardenas, there was a 9th rank archmage in Wickline.

They were also the ones who founded the Mystical Society and stood at its peak.

In the current era, there are five great mages active, and the association reveres them and calls them Pentagon. In terms of the versatility and practicality of the phenomenon, he demonstrated more power than half-heartedness, and was capable of destroying or killing others, so his ransom was at a higher level than that of the knight commander.

“Get up. Since all of the Red Dragon Knights, except for the minimum number of people, must deploy, we cannot allocate more time than this.”

“I will do it.”

Wade nodded and left the office.

As Leonard followed behind, he had to suppress his ever-growing curiosity.

A 9th rank great mage.

A person who is looking at the realm of God from a different perspective than anti-neurology. In his previous life, Yeon Mu-hyeok had never seen a high-level shaman or a guru, so he could truly be said to be an unfamiliar being.

* * *

Exactly one hour has passed since the red alert was issued.

Nevertheless, the number of people gathered at the Red Dragon Knights’ garrison and parade ground was close to a thousand people.

There were over 200 full-time members at the level of the Transcendental Sutra, and the rest were all apprentices who had reached the limit of the External Power Sutra. The power gathered in this place alone would be enough to wipe out the entire country outside of Arcadia and still have change left over.

There was no need to say more as there were only about ten Red Dragon Knights dispatched to Cruzis, a kingdom that was uprooted for sending a kidnapping unit to Galapagos.

but.

‘… The tension is enormous. If we were to gather together like this, we would gain confidence that we didn’t have before, but is it really true that is that scary?’

The Red Dragon Knights, who were almost pickled due to lack of practical combat experience, also had stiff faces. It is said that when the power of becomes stronger, it turns into , but the risk level jumps not one or two levels, but close to ten levels.

Those who have entered the even once and come back alive could never forget that experience.

To refer to a conversation I had with William earlier,

―I heard you feel a sense of discomfort when entering , but the level is different in . It feels like the entire world is sharply hostile towards you, as if you have entered the mouth or stomach of the foreign press. They say they can’t trust the ground their feet are attached to, and they even stop breathing because they’re afraid the air they breathe is mixed with poison.

The world law is ultimately a flow that looks after all life existing in this world, so even if it is opposed by a force like a singularity, it only tries to exert its self-purifying power and does not oppose or suppress them.

The extraterrestrial law was the opposite.

〈Majeong〉 recognizes the intruders that have entered its body as impurities, so it tries to dissolve them by activating digestive functions such as gastric juice, just as it digests food that has fallen into the stomach. It is said that everyone who has experienced the feeling of hostility from the world cannot forget that fear.

‘There was a saying that if someone who was not properly trained enters the , they would not be able to withstand it for even a few minutes and would go crazy.’

Leonard looked at the Red Dragon Knights lined up on the parade ground, guessing the unknown fear. Since it was behind Wade’s back on the podium, the composition was unintentionally looking down.

“There’s no need for a grand speech.”

Wade’s voice was as grave as usual.

“As always, carry out our duties. There will be a few dead or injured people, and you may never see the faces in front of or next to you again. “It’s something that’s very familiar, yet extremely unpleasant.”

To the knights of Cárdenas, death was like an uninvited guest who could come at any time. Even in , which was at a level that was incomparable to , casualties were bound to occur every day.

Most people have experienced a friend who promised to have a drink next time not returning, or a colleague who was fighting with his back turned cold.

However, the fighting spirit in the eyes of the Red Dragon Knights did not fade in the slightest.

“however.”

Wade said.

“As we always do, we will cut down all the idiots out there and return with victory.”

There was no one cheering.

No one was angry.

All of the thousand Red Dragon Knights accepted it as if it were natural. Because these were the words of Wade, a man who had never been defeated until now. It was also the belief that there was no way he would lose the battle he decided to fight.

“hmm.”

It was that moment.

Wade, who had raised morale with a rant that could not even be called a speech, looked in a certain direction.

After Wade, it was Leonard who reacted.

At the point when I discovered that the distortion of the world’s laws, which should not be visually perceptible, was similar to a space gate in its shape, someone’s presence suddenly appeared.

It must have been reinforcements from Wickline.

“Haaaam… .”

The person who stepped out of the haze of space had hair as black and long as ebony.

The broom rattling behind his back was too big for his physique, and his facial expressions were hard to see because of his conical hat. Someone might have thought of the title ‘witch’ from that outfit.

The great mage from Wickline said with a sleepy face.

“Hi, Wade. “We meet again after 16 years and 3 months.”

She looked young, like a teenage girl, but you could tell her age just by looking at her attitude towards Wade. She must be of equal status or status to Wade.

Wade also responded without showing any change in expression.

“Is it Cruella? “I thought you would come.”

“If you’re Nastrond, you’re undead. “There is no one suitable for it other than me.”

“I’m sure you are fully aware of the spatial coordinates of , right?”

“huh.”

“Open the space door. “I will move right away.”

Cruella, the girl who nodded at those words with a look on her face that said everything in the world was annoying, pulled down the broom on her back.

Apparently, the broom served as a cane.

however.

“what?”

The moment I made eye contact with Leonard, who was standing behind Wade, my eyes, which had been blurry due to sleepiness, became clear.

Leonard’s dragon eyes responded, as did hers.

‘This!?’

There is a saying that if you try to look into someone, that other person will also be able to look into themselves.

This is because gaze is like connection.

Even ordinary people who didn’t have any sense of humor could tell the direction in which someone’s gaze was coming if they kept looking at it. There was no need to explain further if it was the gaze of a 9th rank archmage and the gaze of Leonard, who had the eyes of a dragon.

Although it only lasted a few seconds, the amount of information exchanged between the two was enormous.

‘It’s absurd. A being that has lived for at least 400 years… ?! It is said that the level pursued by a wizard and a warrior are different, but even immortality (不送長生) is at that level, close to being a immortal.’

Leonard, who had seen Cruella’s true face, took a step back without realizing it, but Cruella, who followed him for a few meaningless steps, had a smile that didn’t match her appearance.

“It’s a quality that’s outside the standard. If ‘eyes’ aren’t enough, what about ‘heart’? “I was concerned about the fact that the soul ring had two layers, and I wondered why Wade kept him separately, but it makes sense.”

Leonard hesitates, not knowing how to respond.

“Let’s talk separately later. “I’m looking forward to it.”

Cruella turned around without further questioning and went back around Wade.

And while swinging my broom back and forth, I hummed something like a song. Leonard could tell from the sight that caught his eye that it wasn’t just humming.

‘… Is this some kind of incantation? The laws of the world are shaken. It doesn’t look like I used my strength properly.’

It is also different from the [Multi Teleportation] shown by Kalanta or the [Mass Teleportation] that I have experienced several times before.

Even Leonard, who possessed the Dragon Heart, could not understand the magic formula of the 9th rank great mage at a glance. In the first place, the 9th rank level was not much different from the magic used by ancient dragons, so it was natural.

and.

“[Warp]!”

The moment Cruella’s starting words rang out, space magic was activated targeting all the knights in the parade ground.

A magic that blows away a thousand people thousands of kilometers.

Leonard was sucked into the haze of the space door without even being surprised by its scale. Beyond the rapidly narrowing field of view, I saw Wade with his usual face.

〈Demon Lord〉, it was the moment when Nastrond’s expedition departed.
