Sword Emperor Reincarnated as a Sword Master Chapter 181

Sword Emperor Reincarnated as a Swordsmith (135)

It was the very next day.

“Captain Damian, I want to ask you something.”

“What?”

“I received this as payment for the test I took last time.”

When Leonard came out to the meeting place and took out a golden dagger from his chest, Damian’s eyes widened when he recognized it.

“[Mimung]?! Wade, it’s the old man’s cherished relic!”

It was a reaction beyond imagination.

He carefully took the dagger, tapped it a few times as if to check its authenticity, and then stuck his tongue out.

Leader of the White Dragon Knights.

This meant that it was something that would surprise even the strongest of the Cardenas family, who were among the top ten. Leonard looked at it and realized that the gift Wade gave him was not anything valuable.

What on earth is that golden dagger?

“Ah, I’m late with the explanation. “This is an ancient relic.”

Even Damien returned the golden dagger, [Mimung], to him with a look of great interest.

Leonard perked up his ears as he accepted it.

“Are you talking about ancient artifacts?”

“okay. “It is an item that was made in a time when the Heosin that we are going to subdue from now on were roaming the heavens and the underground.”

Hearing that it was at least 1,000 years old, Leonard widened his eyes and looked down at the dagger in his hand.

The style itself had an antique feel, but the blade or handle had no corrosion or any parts at all. Even when I looked into the dragon’s eyes, there was nothing special about it, so I had no idea how it had survived for over a thousand years.

Damian, who had the same long eyes as Leonard, saw through the attempt and giggled.

“Can’t you see anything? It’s an object with a singularity that can’t even be seen with the naked eye. “If it’s at [Mimung’s] level, it’s at the top.”

These are items for which nothing has been revealed other than that laws different from the power of God or magic are involved.

Although it was a fairly interesting type of research material, it was rare for it to have extraordinary functions. It is not uncommon for artifacts of the current era to surpass even upper-middle-class ancient artifacts, so there was no reason to use objects whose principles had not been proven.

However, the top ranks like [Mimung] were different.

“Leonard, try making an Auror Blade with your sword.”

“All right.”

While holding [Mimung] in my left hand, I pulled out my sword and made a sword sword, and Damian gave me instructions again. It was something that Leonard, who had reflexively tried to follow what he said, had no choice but to stop.

“Now, strike down the sword that formed the Auror Blade with [Mimung].”

“… “Aren’t you saying it backwards?”

“No, you did it right.”

Damian explained it with an expression that said he knew it would happen.

“The ability of the ancient relic [Mimung] is to cut down anything. Auror Blade and Anti-Magic are no exception. “The reason it is not sheathed is because it cannot withstand the cutting force.”

Leonard lowered his left hand with a look on his face.

OK.

king.

With a sharp sound, the sword that was burning with the sword cavity was cut off and fell to the ground. Although it was not in a state of amplifying the attack, was cut off without any resistance.

It was a sight that was hard to believe that it was the crystallization of destructive power that a martial artist could embody, a strong energy.

Leonard, who had had his common sense completely destroyed, just gaped.

“… … her?”

“Don’t be so shocked. There is no difference even if it is my Auror Blade and not yours. “It’s a shame that concepts and laws cannot be cut, otherwise it is a relic that could have been designated as a strategic weapon.”

Besides, Damian started and spoke in detail.

“[Mimung]’s abilities are limited to the blade, and he cannot create an Aura Blade or an Aura Sword. At most, it is best to use it for assassination, but there is no reason for Cardenas to use assassins against humans. When dealing with monsters, most of the time you have to cut them down bigger or attack the conceptual area. “It’s not like it’s interfering with playback or anything.”

Leonard, who had finally regained his composure, asked a question.

“Are you saying it’s a bit difficult to use in practice?”

“It may not be useless, but… It is a weapon that is not necessary for counter-attacks and is difficult to use at the transcendental level. “The value is high, but it’s not very useful, so I think it’s perfect for a gift like this one.”

“indeed.”

Leonard tried to confirm the explanation by repeatedly pushing energy into [Mimung], but was only able to understand it after seeing that not even sword energy was formed, let alone strong energy.

It was a weapon that was at a great disadvantage in cross-matching.

If you catch the opponent off guard, you may be able to land a blow, but unless you are a nerd, you cannot help but feel a sense of discomfort upon seeing [Mimung].

‘It’s attractive to be able to absolutely dominate with a sword, but… If the sword itself doesn’t work out, it’s all in vain.’

This was even more so in the fight against antipathy.

Even if you try to hit Damian with this [Mimung], if it is reflected in the mirror, it will be canceled out and you will be done.

[Mimung]’s cutting ability will also fall within that reflection range.

As Damian said, it was no different from chicken meat.

“for a moment.”

Leonard closed his eyes and poured his willpower into [Mimung], wondering if anything would happen. Unlike an ordinary sword, an enormous amount of mental power was consumed, but the goal was achieved.

[Mimung] started flying with his sword and slowly circled around Leonard.

When Damian saw that, he expressed a rare admiration.

“It’s remote control. Yes, that would allow [Mimung] to demonstrate his abilities to their full potential!”

The problem of reduced coordination was a common issue only when fighting with one’s own hands.

Would a sword that flies like that have any range?

If used as a gear sword, the fact that [Mimung] is a dagger could also be an advantage. It’s smaller and faster than a long sword, so it’s difficult to evade, and if you try to defend yourself, you’ll be pierced along with your defense.

however.

“… No, it looks like it will be difficult for a while.”

Leonard wiped his forehead, which was now covered in cold sweat, and placed [Mimung], who had returned to his hands, back in the storage box.

Although the sword technique was never disabled, handling the ancient relic itself consumed an enormous amount of mental power. There was even a sign that the weapon was willing to move as if it had its own will. Almost half of my mental strength was lost trying to control it.

It wasn’t difficult enough to make progress in a day or two, but it was also an opportunity to develop mental strength that is difficult to train.

“When I manage [Mimung] well, I will show you, leader.”

“under! Okay, I’m looking forward to it.”

Damian, who cheerfully accepted his aspirations, soon began walking out of the [Sword Forest].

This was because the person who would take them to the mission location was a foreigner and could not come in. There was a wizard waiting in a place not far from the [Sword Forest].

Leonard, who saw Wickline’s robe, whispered softly.

“Do you move through space magic rather than through space gates?”

“The closest space gate to the mission location is over hundreds of kilometers away. In that case, we ask Wickline for cooperation.”

Although it was not well known outside the empire, the Samgong family was not particularly a competitor. Since the areas under jurisdiction are very different and the abilities and specialties of the three forces are different, if they do not cooperate, they will become uncomfortable.

The Wickline wizard, who discovered the two people belatedly, questioned them with a slightly puzzled expression.

“You’re late, Captain Damian. “I’ve said it many times, but I’m not a very laid-back person either.”

“Don’t peck at me so much. “Let’s take our time.”

“You’ve always been late!”

While Damian slyly let his words slip away, Leonard guessed his opponent’s skill based on his control.

The highest level archmage of the 7th rank.

He is a talented person who may be on par with a Jack Russell.

It seems that he was called in because spatial magic is of a very high tier and consumes a lot of magical power. There was no mention of participating in a subjugation mission, so it was said that they were dispatched only to take them to the mission site and bring them back.

‘If the Cardenas family is full of Transcendence, the Wickline family is full of archmages.’

As Leonard was looking at the other person while thinking that, the other person also turned in that direction and revealed his true feelings.

It was a question that seemed obvious.

“I heard you’re going alone?”

“Oh, I’m an assistant.”

“Does an anti-shiny level powerhouse need such a thing? Well, if the leader had brought it in person, there wouldn’t be any problem.”

Leonard, who was quietly listening to the two people’s conversation, saw long ears sticking out from inside the robe.

It was a form not found in humans.

“… Elf?”

Damian and the wizard turned to Leonard at almost the same time as they muttered something to themselves without realizing it.

There was no sign that a secret had been revealed or anything.

“I guess you’re new? “If you don’t know anything about Wickline’s history.”

“That’s right. “Let me explain briefly.”

Damian soon revealed it in a tone that said it was no big deal.

“Just as Cardenas inherited the dragon’s bloodline, Wicklain is the descendants of the high elves of the old days, right? So, because of their close distance from the world’s laws and their long lifespan, it is easy for them to become successful as wizards. “I heard that when ancestral return occurs, there are cases where people also work as spirit masters. In one generation, two or three people also contract with the spirit king.”

At the same time, the Wickline wizard screamed.

“Wait a minute, Captain! “At that level, it’s confidential!”

“Is that so? “I got confused because I started to learn everything once I had some time.”

Damian, who only narrowed his eyes at Leonard once, made an excuse.

“are you okay. Why would I take you with me for no reason? He’s the next general manager level talent. In both Red Dragon and Blue Dragon, he was the first to catch what he wanted. Would you be interested if I just talked about things we all know? “Please understand.”

“Hmm, the next general manager level… . “If you really mean it, it’s not something you can’t overcome.”

The wizard dispatched from Wickline approached Leonard and tilted his head as he looked into his eyes.

The eyes were a deep mixture of interest and curiosity.

“huh? How amazing. Are there two overlapping rings of the soul? I’ve never seen this case in an old book. “Do you think the next general manager level will be a bit different?”

Leonard asked, equally intrigued by the remark.

“Soul Night Terrace, do you see that in all Wicklines?”

“Let’s just say it’s my quirk. What you and Director Damien have on each other is a bit odd. “It’s a bit lower quality than that.”

The wizard, who gave a simple explanation, soon began drawing the formula for ultra-long-distance space magic on the ground.

After drawing a magic circle that could fit three people in a few minutes, and reducing magical power consumption by placing the spirit stones prepared in advance, the wizard summoned the two.

He checked the positions of Damian and Leonard and closed his eyes.

“I will move. “Please do not leave the magic circle.”

The 7th rank magic, [Multi Teleport], which is a smaller improvement over the 8th rank [Mass Teleport], has been activated.

Paaaaaaat??!

A dazzling light flashed once, and after it subsided, there was no one left there anymore.

* * *

Although it was a bit different from the space gate, the space distortion that occurred based on the same principle pulled the three people to a distant place.

It was the moment when the flow of time, not knowing how many seconds or minutes, ended.

Leonard opened his eyes and realized that the air around him had become cooler and lighter. According to my previous life experience, it was an air current that could only be felt occasionally in high mountains.

just as expected.

“… here is?”

It was the top of an unknown mountain range.

The height was so enormous that when I looked down at my feet, I could see clouds billowing in a much lower area. At least several thousand meters, a height that would make it difficult for an untrained person to breathe.

Could it be that this mountain peak is the place where the mission to subdue Hesin will be carried out?

Damian, who couldn’t possibly be unaware of Leonard’s questions, said.

“I’m sure you are familiar with all the basics of Heoshin, right?”

“yes.”

“Then spread your thoughts a little further.”

Damien added a few words, saying that the document you saw was only basic content, and that you needed to have the talent to apply it based on it.

“The more people they serve, fear, and know, the stronger they become. And these priorities are as listed. “He who fears more than he who knows, and he who serves more than he who fears gives more strength.”

“… … .”

“Leonard, do you think you would consider God and serve a being that you can see and touch at any time? Do you think you would be afraid of a being that knows where it stays and how it lives?”

At those words, a realization passed through Leonard’s mind.

“The gods will live in places where humans cannot live or where it is difficult to access them.”

“okay.”

“Are you staying in areas where fear can naturally arise, such as alpine areas, polar areas, desert areas, or volcanic areas?”

“That is correct.”

From time immemorial, fear of natural phenomena tended to lead directly to religious beliefs.

This is why most gods who control lightning are treated as main gods, great gods, or higher-level gods. Living with fear was tantamount to receiving a supply of faith in itself.

It was no different from the way sailors worshiped the god of the sea and hunters worshiped the god of beasts. It was as if they were afraid of something that could devour them at any time.

“That’s why the temple of [Tir], the God of Death that we, the White Dragon Knights, found, is hidden on a remote mountain peak.”
