Sword Emperor Reincarnated as a Sword Master Chapter 230

Geomje reincarnated as a swordsmith (230)

[Yongmeori], the garrison of the Golden Dragon Knights, is a small island-shaped land. It was also the area closest to the head of the house, and only the leader level, excluding the Golden Knights, could enter.

The reason was very simple.

This is because it is where the residual soul of the founder Cardenas is kept. In a world where the throne was empty, he was the only being who could face the true god level of danger. There was no way the confidentiality level was low.

The Golden Knight, a by-product of a failed ritual, was also treated as a strategic resource, so the entire organization had no choice but to remain closed and mystical.

Blood relatives who know nothing simply admire or revere the Golden Dragon Knights, and even harbor illusions when they hear that they are not only considered the strongest of the seven great knights, but are operated directly under the head of the family.

However, the reality was cruel and heartless.

“Hey, Tres.”

Tress, the golden knight who guided Leonard to the progenitor’s living space, raised his head in response to my name.

“Lord Una, are you here?”

He was a golden knight who was in charge of the knights’ order on behalf of the progenitor, who was holding the position of famous and insignificant leader, and was a man of such skill that Tres, who had a difficult time finding a superior even in the Golden Dragon, respected him.

It could be said that his position is similar to that of the vice-captain of other knights.

Una, a dragon of transcendence who can defeat anyone with less than half a nerve, laughed at the pick.

“I guess you’ve already gone inside?”

She muttered something that I couldn’t tell if it was sarcastic or not and took off her helmet. Her gold-like hair fell down, revealing her eyes of the same color, bouncing off the light coming into her irises.

Blonde eyes.

Even if they were not direct descendants, those who survived the ‘consciousness’ all have the same appearance as their direct descendants. Unlike their blood relatives, who had repeatedly changed generations for nearly a thousand years and had become greatly distant from the original, they were the subjects of a ritual that sought to reproduce the founders. Even if it is a failure, it is closer to a gold dragon than a human.

“Be careful what you say. “Now that he has reached the level of opposition, he is not someone we can dare to mention.”

“Oh, I know, right? I don’t plan on grunting right in front of you, so don’t worry too much. “We can talk more comfortably when we’re alone, right?”

“… “If that’s the case, please don’t let me get involved.”

Tress realized the gap because he faced Leonard. Instead of joining her like he always did, he took a few steps back from her.

Oona noticed the change in his attitude and narrowed her eyes.

“Hmm, was you really that great? To the point where you get scared?”

Then Tres nodded obediently.

“Yes, I don’t think there will be much difference compared to the existing leaders.”

“no way.”

“You know our senses, right? That was the extent of the difference in capabilities that I instinctively guessed. “There are only two people who can be said to be several levels higher than Sir Leonard with certainty: the Red Dragon Knights Commander and the Black Dragon Knights Commander.”

According to the expression of the founder, the Dragonian, the Golden Knight, who had already become a being that could not be called a human, was able to ignore even beings of a higher level than himself.

Even if we could not accurately estimate its power and level, we were able to compare the gap with the comparison target.

In response to the firm voice, Oona’s expression also became serious.

“Recently, I broke through the half-brain barrier, and that’s about it… ? “Are all the rumors about the next Gajuni and the second coming of the founder true?”

Just as the difference between those who have just reached transcendence and those who are at the limit is clearly evident, their reactions would not have been much different.

The difference between the leaders who had trained and fought for decades to a hundred years or more and Leonard, whose life history lasted less than 20 years, was bound to be significant. Nevertheless, only two people, the Red Dragon Knight Commander and the Black Dragon Knight Commander, are ranked higher than Leonard?

Every single element is unrealistic, from the growth rate to the potential and the size of luck. Rather than a real-life story, I felt like the protagonist of a fairy tale or a heroic story, a person with all things going smoothly.

“Ha, I’m jealous.”

All members of the Golden Dragon were bound to harbor deep-rooted feelings of inferiority and jealousy.

Those who became something that transcended even the current generation’s Cárdenas were unable to grow in rank, and those who were taxidermied to a level that was neither transcendental nor anti-nervous were rotting away day by day in mind and body.

Even if it became stronger, it was nothing more than a meat shield to buy time if it was going to fight against a demigod or higher, and the fact that it was destined to one day be consumed as the progenitor’s descendant made the sense of futility even greater.

However, seeing the sight of the little boy who refused to join the Golden Dragon succeeding in breaking through a level that they could not achieve and being honored with the family’s glory, all five organs and six parts couldn’t help but boil.

‘I wanted to be like that too.’

If I went back to the past, I would not have accepted the offer from the Golden Dragon Knights. Even if I couldn’t reach the halfway point, I wanted to struggle and die rather than make my life a by-product of failure.

will regret.

I am resigned.

I am troubled.

In the minds of the Golden Knights, regret and resignation about their choices always coexisted, eroding their mental strength and accumulating burden.

“Ugh.”

Even my Dragonian body couldn’t handle all the mental load, so there were times when I got a slight headache.

I ended up with a headache due to my ridiculously strong body. If the body was at a normal transcendental level, it would not be surprising if the person vomited blood and part of the brain was necrotic due to the coin attack.

Still, if this damage accumulates, the day will come when it explodes in a big way.

Although they foresaw their own end, knowingly or unknowingly, the Golden Knights had no power to resist that fate, so they accepted it.

It was then.

“Huh?!”

“what!?”

Tres and Una turned in one direction almost at the same time.

The presence that only the Golden Knight can feel, the feeling of the progenitor’s residual spirit radiating its power, has disappeared everywhere.

Other than being conscious, it didn’t matter much.

The golden knights were extremely confused as they felt that the constraints that bound them as strong bodies were being loosened.

“no way?! “The progenitor!”

Oona, shocked by what Tres said, started running.

Naturally, the destination was the eponymous space, the basement. The movement speed of the strongest Golden Dragon was absolutely terrifying. With two steps, a shock wave was created at a speed that could ignore even the sound, and the roof and exterior walls of the small building crumbled, scattering dust.

and.

“… … .”

When she saw Leonard standing quietly alone in the empty basement, Oona cautiously opened her mouth.

“… Sir Leonard?”

“no.”

Leonard, who had jumped at her call, opened his eyes.

As if cutting through the flickering darkness with a few torches, a pair of golden eye lights erupted and overwhelmed Una.

Even if you were the strongest among the Golden Dragons, the difference in rank was absolute.

“Please call me Captain.”

Since they had inherited their titles from their progenitor, the Golden Knights were no different from Leonard’s subordinates.

In front of Leonard, who bowed down so naturally, Una unconsciously got down on one knee and bowed her head. From an instinctive perspective, they recognized him as their superior.

Leonard said.

“Starting today, I, Leonard, have inherited all command of the Golden Dragon from the progenitor. “What is your name and position?”

“This is Una. There is no separate position in the Golden Dragon, but it is treated the same as vice-captain. Since the progenitor was usually asleep, I took care of most of the knights’ work.”

“is it.”

Leonard, who had organized her personal information, ordered again.

“Assemble all the Golden Knights. “Something has happened that needs to be notified to all of you, so we will not tolerate any deviation.”

“Yes, Captain.”

Even though the situation was sudden, Una received the order very quickly and ran out faster than she came.

She herself may not have felt uncomfortable, but Leonard knew why. It was one of the applications of [Yongeon] handed down by Sijo.

Leonard, who had been in the mental space for nearly a month, placed his hand on my chest and sighed. Fortunately, the gamble seemed to have paid off.

‘Can you hear me?’

She responded to the will expressed by his surface consciousness.

-Yes, that sounds good.

I accepted the residual spirit that had exhausted all of its power while teaching Leonard, and brought it into my world of imagination.

If I let it out of my body, it would end right away, but on the other hand, I was able to hold out for quite a long time before that. By temporarily borrowing Leonard’s body, it became possible to use a half-light strike.

I unintentionally created a Jinshin-level life-saving herb.

-I think you succeeded because your mental world is in a form suitable for the Gold Dragon. Yellow Dragon, are there any members of our clan left in the world you came from?

‘The dragon there and the dragon here are quite different. I’ll explain everything later.’

-OK.

Without knowing the details of the conversation between Leonard and the progenitor, who had become one in mind, the entire island was turned upside down by the untimely summons of the Golden Dragon Knights.

Thanks to Una running around like crazy, all the Golden Knights gathered around Leonard without a single outlier. It was a feat achieved in less than three minutes.

There were more than one or two people who had clear bruises on their faces, as if they had used their fists on people who couldn’t understand the situation.

“Is everyone here?”

“A total of 36 people gathered without exception.”

Leonard’s eyes narrowed at Una’s bold answer.

‘36 people? Should I say this is a lot? Should I say it’s less?’

Even though the power of each Golden Knight was at a frightening level, their numbers were too small. It seemed that the probability of surviving the ‘consciousness’ itself was not that high.

According to the information seen through his Dragon’s Eye, the Dragonian was a being with a lifespan similar to or longer than that of a half-nerve.

Even Una, who was humbled because of the [adjective], had almost no age difference with Wade and Audrey. Even though the Golden Knights had been collected over hundreds of years, with this number, there was no choice but to conclude that way.

-There are a few people who died as a result of the river spirit, but even if you include those people, the number will not exceed 50.

While internally understanding Cardenas’ words, Leonard made eye contact with each of the Golden Knights who were only looking at his face.

I saw gazes and facial expressions that clearly revealed emotions ranging from confusion, astonishment, fear, doubt, and panic. Although there were only a few, there were some who expressed emotions such as anticipation and relief.

Did they assume that by learning of the disappearance of the ancestors, they were freed from the role of expendable items?

“You heard a few words from Una, so let’s get straight to the point.”

Although it was very faint, the words contained [adjective], and the Golden Knights increased their concentration without even realizing it.

Leonard says wow! If I screamed, it was at a level that could cause a fight. It didn’t seem like anyone would raise an objection or question why you were the leader.

“According to the will of the founder, the Golden Dragon Knights will come under my command from today. “There will no longer be a case of being wasted as a strong body, and there will be no more being treated as a resource and not being able to go to the front lines.”

With each word, life began to return to the empty faces of the Golden Knights, knowingly or unknowingly.

They weren’t people who were broken just because they couldn’t become stronger.

Not being able to play an active role on the commercial front, not being able to move around with pride and having to hide my face or name, living in a situation where I was isolated within my family on an island, etc.

There was a complex reason that pushed them. Leonard was solving each part one by one.

“and.”

Leonard, who showed a blueprint that may have faded in decades, and some in over a hundred years, soon struck the final blow.

“This is what the progenitor guaranteed, but there is a training method by which you too can raise your level. The chances of breakthrough are slim, but not zero. “I plan to pass on the training method as soon as the reorganization of the Knights Templar is completed.”

“… … .”

“… … .”

“… … .”

“… … yes?”

All of the Golden Knights froze with various expressions, but after a few seconds they thawed and opened and closed their mouths, unable to get a word out.

There is no reason to defraud them by even mentioning the name of the founder. Above all, Leonard’s [adjective] conveyed his will very clearly. It was all true that the progenitor guaranteed it and that it was possible to achieve breakthrough through martial arts.

Leonard, who had skipped the persuasion process and ignited the burning flame in all of their hearts, opened his mouth.

“You are no longer expendable. Return to one of Cardenas’ knights and protect the world with your own sword and abilities. “If you will follow me, I will promise you that you will receive more military honors than anywhere else.”

Dozens of golden eyes flashed as the sense of duty, desire for honor, and pride that had been forgotten due to despair and resignation were aflame.

After seeing that, Leonard realized there was no need to speak further.

“Clear out [Yongmeori]’s garrison facilities and personal belongings. “I will come after speaking with the head of the family.”

Behind Leonard, who turned around on the spot, he felt the cold island air heating up.

Cardenas’ final weapon.

The pinnacle and strongest of the 7 Knights.

It was the moment when the Golden Dragon Knights were reborn in a true sense.
