Sword Emperor Reincarnated as a Sword Master Chapter 222

Geomje reincarnated as a swordsman (222)

According to records from ancient times, Yggdrasil was a tree that broadly classified as ‘ash tree’.

The established theory was that Odin, the king and pinnacle of the Aesir gods, personally planted and raised the sapling. It was an act to show off its power and influence, but Yggdrasil’s growth surpassed even Odin’s wisdom and grew to encompass the three worlds of heaven, earth, and underground.

The roots dug underground into the underworld, Niflheim.

The roots exposed on the ground lead to the human world, Midgard.

The roots that rise up to the heavens lead to the heavenly world, Asgard.

What was nothing more than a slightly large ash tree accepted death, life, and wisdom and raised its status, swelling its presence to a level that even the gods could not dare to ignore.

The laws of the natural world make up the largest part of the world’s laws.

As the head of this natural world, Yggdrasil was given the status of a god equivalent to a great minister. At the top of the tree, an eagle whose name was unknown built a nest, and the goddesses in charge of the roots that protruded into Asgard poured the water of life.

Yggdrasil in the old days was truly a sacred tree.

“It is famous for its roots that connect the three worlds, but its branches are also said to be long enough to reach the nine minor dimensions.”

said Grace, who was flying a few meters in front of Leonard.

It must have been difficult to bear the gloomy atmosphere caused by Uruka facing death, so he was trying to look bright somehow.

Thanks to this, Leonard was absorbing a lot of new knowledge.

“That is why Yggdrasil made the land of the whole world fertile by dropping dew and leaves, and was called the mother of all life. “A living being from an ancient era had no choice but to feel the influence of the World Tree and worship it wherever it was in the world.”

“indeed.”

“Muspelheim, an extreme world ruled by fire giants, and Niflheim, ruled by the Queen of Death, were not alien dimensions at that time. “During the War of Destruction, all connections with the World Tree were severed, and as time passed, the distance between dimensions increased.”

To be precise, it would be more accurate to say ‘it was cut off’ rather than ‘it was cut off.’ This was done by [Surt], the ruler of Muspelheim, and [Nidhogg], who reigned over Nastrond on the outskirts of Niflheim.

“Yggdrasil’s influence was beneficial to the entire world, but there were some who did not appreciate its power. “The Mother of Life could not help but be an eyesore to the being who burns everything and the being who kills and rots everything.”

So, [Surtur] and [Nidhogg] noticed that the world tree was weakened during the War of Destruction, and maximized their power by burning or tearing down all the branches extending into the world.

It was the moment when Muspelheim, completely reduced to ashes, was born as Nastrond’s independent kingdom of death.

Even as the two people were talking like that, Yggdrasil was getting closer. It is so large that the sense of perspective becomes strange. After jumping over the horizon several times, Yggdrasil’s trunk continued to expand and soon filled more than half of the field of view.

People who reached close range of Yggdrasil opened their mouths in amazement without realizing it.

“… “It’s an absurd size.”

“Why don’t we call this a tree? The trees in the area were also large, but compared to this, they weren’t even the size of weeds.”

“It’s one of the symbols of the mythical era. “There won’t be more.”

Even in a world devastated by the War of Destruction, it was a being that did not fall and continued to live, even withstanding [Nidhogg]’s poison.

It could be said that it was a problem that the cost was pollution and devastation of the surrounding area, but Yggdrasil may not have even realized it.

The so-called ‘degeneration’ is a phenomenon in which cognitive abilities are destroyed.

“Cough!”

When they reached Yggdrasil, Uruka fell to her knees, pouring out several sips of black, dead blood.

Grace urgently came to his side and helped him, but the sight of him losing his vitality was unusual. The pupils were almost blurry, and the Aura Dragon reflexively deployed around the body was as faint as water fog.

It had to be that way.

“Yggdrasil’s interference power is too strong. “Not only Uruka, but we too might not be able to survive if we stay for too long.”

As Wade explained calmly, he swung his sword and cut down the power rushing towards them.

Although it was only a temporary measure, it was definitely effective.

“Fine… “Yes.”

Uruka, whose physical condition had improved slightly, got up and sat down. The shape of the Auror Dragon became clearer, and the skin that had begun to distort under the influence calmed down again.

No one looked at it with sympathy.

He is someone who has finally reached his destination on a journey that risks his life. Even if we could not bless, pity was unacceptable.

‘If you can’t protect yourself with your heart and sword, survival in this range will be impossible.’

Due to the nature of 〈Five Elements〉, it possesses enormous resistance to external forces interfering with it, but if it is not conscious, it will naturally try to distort its body.

I didn’t feel an ounce of malice or intent.

For Yggdrasil, this influence was nothing more than an act of encouraging life, just like in the old days. It is not against them or attacking them. So it was even more terrifying.

‘If you try to concentrate this power and crush one target to death, even half-hearted people won’t be able to survive… .’

While Leonard was swallowing dry saliva without realizing it, Wade, who had been tapping on the surface of the World Tree, extended his sword.

The best sword that can be used without mobilizing singularity.

A simple yet perfect horizontal slash sword.

The slash exploded at the bottom of Yggdrasil’s trunk.

Teuong!

It bounced out in vain.

The sight of the Auror Blade bouncing away without even scratching it, as if it had been made of cotton, did not feel realistic at all.

A swordsman of Wade’s level could cut a diamond into pieces without even needing to use mental martial arts. Nevertheless, I couldn’t cut it. It wasn’t blocked using magic or power, but it failed to break through the defense of the tree bark itself.

“what?”

“It’s solid.”

The eyes of the powerful became serious after recognizing the facts.

Seinryu (Western Ryu) Two Swords

In response to Leonard’s commanding ceremony, the white tiger guard surges forward, causing even the space around the ink sword to vibrate.

A mental martial art with destructive power that can interfere with the conceptual realm.

Suddenly, the swords held in both hands crossed at the same time.

Manhwigunsang cutting machine

Chamcheonjeolun (斬天截雲)

Cross-shaped ten-gong cham (十字裂空斬)

From the point where the two diagonal slashes intersect, the space is torn apart, forming a hell that no physical strength can withstand.

No matter how hard a material is, it cannot withstand that area.

Even if adamantium is refined and compressed into a lump, the power of the conceptual realm ignores its durability. Therefore, I had no doubt that it would cut down the shell of Yggdrasil.

however.

Kaaaaaaaa!

Unlike Wade’s slash, the , which left faint scratches on the surface of the shell, was neutralized. I even used mental martial arts, but all I could do was create scratches of less than an inch.

There was no need for Yongan’s insight.

The knight commanders immediately realized the reason.

“Is the difference in status so enormous that the power of the conceptual domain is neutralized…? ? Then Audrey’s ‘annihilation’ won’t work either.”

“Are you saying that it must purely have high destructive power?”

“Yes. Unless it is a mental martial art that directly involves power, it will not be completely neutralized.”

It might work if you accelerate your body like Wade’s “Flamberg” or “Bayard” and the power increases as a result.

As soon as he realized it, Wade’s body was covered in brilliance.

There is no time.

No, the three of them didn’t know, but it was impossible for Uruka. The will of the warriors combined to activate his singularity, believing that he would show the completion of his mission before he died.

Bayard

Wade, who rapidly accelerated with the wings of light, retreated several kilometers to reach maximum speed and then rushed towards Yggdrasil.

It moves as fast as a thunderbolt, converting its speed and power into a slash. Since there was no need to fight to just cut down a tree standing in place, its power increased tremendously.

The sword that flashed was stuck in Yggdrasil.

Kwa-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-gak?!

This time, it was a well-planned attack.

The sword thrown by Wade, the strongest knight commander in Cardenas, penetrated exactly 1 meter before stopping.

Even when I used Bayard, it was like that.

Grace also did her best.

Cosmic Blade

Since he is not confident that he can exert more power than Wade with his physical strength, he shows a level that even the difference in rank cannot suppress.

A strike that focuses and fires the five elements of the Jisoo Fire Ball.

Darkness shimmering with starlight was launched in the shape of a sword.

Jiiiiiiing?!!

Wade hit the spot where he had cut out once more, and the , which had advanced a distance of less than 1 meter, was soon destroyed.

It was a vain result considering that Grace’s complexion, which was already not good, became even paler.

Then Uruka spoke with her eyes filled with despair.

“I think I know why [Nidhogg] and [Sutr] didn’t attack Yggdrasil directly… .”

This may be because even though he was a high-level Jinshin, he did not have the confidence to break through its defense. So, [Nidhogg] poured poison into the roots of the World Tree, and [Surt] was satisfied with just burning the branches and cutting off the connection.

Although it was weakened to the point where it was impossible to compare it to the old era, it was not at a level that the demigod Nabulaengi could do anything about.

It was doubtful whether even if the airship fleet and mobile fortress were all self-destructed, it would be possible to char the shell or scorch it. The faces of the knights who came to the end and faced an unimaginable wall were distorted.

It was then.

Cheondungeonbeop (天遁劍法)

There was a flash of light that shot out from Leonard, who raised his left hand just in case. A dagger that even pierced the iron fist of [Pollux] and pierced between his eyes.

It was [Mimung], an ancient relic given by Wade.

Section 2 of the Dharma Text

Iljiseon (一指禪)

The blade, which increased its speed with the intention of breaking through the half nerve and becoming several times more powerful, dug into the shell of Yggdrasil.

The bark of the tree is cut with incredible ease.

The defense power, which even the 〈Honwon Sword〉 could not completely pierce, is easily cut off. When Leonard rotated his left index finger a few times, [Mimung] spun in a circle a few times, creating a large hole in the trunk of Yggdrasil. It could not be said that the power consumed for the task was small, but compared to previous attacks, it was infinitely more efficient.

“that… Is it [Mimung]? how?”

“It’s my own secret.”

Wade, surprised by the sight of remotely controlling an artifact that even Aurors did not accept, asked, but Leonard ignored it.

Even in the central plains, knowledge related to Cheondungeombeop, which was heterogeneous, was bound to leave questions no matter how it was explained. In that case, it seemed more plausible to insist that it was my vision.

Afterwards, Leonard clicked his tongue after estimating the amount of internal energy and mental power consumed by the .

‘It is clear that it is dozens of times more effective than mental martial arts, but it is impossible to cut down a tree trunk of this size. Penetrating it would be a bit risky.’

Even if I hadn’t been able to climb to the top, I would have just scratched the surface and collapsed from exhaustion.

Perhaps due to the characteristics of [Mimung], the power consumed in was too great. Even though the rejection reaction was reduced by continuously assimilating it into the body, it was still this bad, otherwise it would have been impossible to even attempt it.

As he pondered for a moment while receiving the expectant gazes of the leaders, he remembered the third sermon of Cheondungeombeop.

‘… I’ve never been successful, but I have no choice but to do it.’

Sections 1 and 3 of 〈Cheondungeombeop〉 are consistent.

The doctrine of unity of body and sword. If the first sermon was about assimilating it into one’s body, the third sermon was the opposite.

Assimilates the user to the sword.

Moving like a sword. It was said to be a trick shown by Yeo Dong-bin, a prosecutor, but Yeon Moo-hyeok in his previous life had no choice but to dismiss it as nonsense. Because there was no way I could see the possibility of verse 3 in a situation where I couldn’t even write the sermon in verse 1.

However, Leonard was very different from Yeon Moo-hyeok back then.

“You three, please don’t be too surprised and just wait.”

Leonard, who left a message of encouragement to the team leaders, raised their spirits.

Cheondungeonbeop (天遁劍法)

Article 3 of the Law

Swordsman Ildo (劍身一途)

At the same time, Leonard became translucent and overlapped as if he had become one with [Mimung], disappearing.

and.

Kiiiiing?!!

Leonard, who had literally become a sword, ran like a flash of light and was launched into a tree trunk that had barely been dug out a few meters.

Now that we know that [Mimung]’s cutting power exceeds Yggdrasil’s defense power, all we have to do is add that momentum.

pierce

pierce

pierce

Yggdrasil’s epidermis, which required tremendous strength to peel off even a single layer, was penetrated in an instant, and Leonard was already inside the tree trunk. Knowing that the influence surrounding his body was growing stronger, he dug in even more fiercely.

If you hesitate in the right position, you will fall and die. Once you decide to go forward, you must not stop until you die.

The fight between Leonard, who advances with the determination to survive, and Yggdrasil, who tries to somehow block the rush.

Phew!

It ended in Leonard’s victory, having finally penetrated the wall.

“Huh! Huh! “Huh!”

As soon as the thing blocking his path disappeared, Leonard, who had lifted his sword, rolled around on the ground.

When I think about it, I have never expended this much strength since I ascended to Banshin. Even in the fight with [Surt], he did his best, but the bottom was not revealed.

However, I became exhausted when I decided to try digging through the tree bark.

“… … Still, it looks like you came to the right place.”

Leonard, who managed to get up, saw something hideous in his eyes.

Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu… ! Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu… !

A wooden heart overflowing with distorted vitality, even though it is completely rotten with poison. What was writhing violently before his eyes was undoubtedly the source of the world tree, Yggdrasil.

The institution that had spread the grace of life in ancient times was now the culprit of a curse more terrible than death.

?■■… ! ■■■, ■■■… !

I couldn’t understand Yggdrasil’s words, which were screaming at me not to come closer and to disappear from within me.

So Leonard raised his sword instead of [Mimung].

I knew it instinctively, but this wooden heart was not as hard as the shell. In that case, the ink sword was more suitable for finishing than [Mimung], which did not have much power other than cutting power.

“It’s over.”

A ray of five-colored sword light was born and pierced the heart of the tree.
