Sword Emperor Reincarnated as a Sword Master Chapter 243

Geomje reincarnated as a swordsmith (243)

Wild Hunt.

This is an adventure group that is the only one designated as S-class by the Maritime Union, and that any adventurer living today will admit to being closer to legend than anyone else. Even the Aquamarine in its heyday could not reach the S rank, and the value of the Golden Hind, which later became a masterpiece class ship, was already equal to or higher than that of the treasure ships of the old days.

Among the stories that have been handed down since ancient times, the most ominous ghost story, a strange phenomenon in which an enormous number of monsters run amok, was called the ‘Wild Hunt.’

At the time when Bermuda registered the name, there were only people who thought they didn’t know their stuff.

but.

1 year, 5 years, 10 years.

There were no longer any jeers poured out on the adventurers who had proven themselves worthy of their name over the decades, and the attitude that had been criticized for needlessly hiding one’s face was now recognized as mysticism.

Countless powerful figures in Atlantis also wished to board the ship, but no one was allowed to board by Drake.

Except this time, which can only be called an exception.

“Hoo.”

Corbin, the man standing to Drake’s left in the Golden Hind’s captain’s cabin, looked around without even trying to hide his interest.

For the strongest Shadow Knight, the head of the Young Dragon Knights in charge of the Cardenas family’s information division, the desire for information was an instinct-like impulse. Corbin smiled deeply, taking in information from the entire ship with his gaze and singularity, even without a convenient ability like the Long Eye.

Is there a ship that utilizes relics so well, one of the mysteries that even the empire that explores ancient times has not been able to fully uncover? I guess they weren’t all people who could be ignored because they were country bumpkins from the outskirts.

“That’s interesting. Even if it were the world’s greatest appraiser, no one would be able to handle relics from a bygone era like this, right? “I’m becoming more and more curious about who you are and what’s underneath you.”

“… Didn’t the commander of the White Dragon Knights there tell you? “I am nothing more than a wanderer who has been caught by the old god’s curse, or rather, his blessing.”

“Ah, you mean [Poseidon’s] trident piece? “He is the third-highest among the Olympian gods, and he controls artifacts through his influence.”

Corbin’s eyes, which pierced Goldhind’s core in an instant, sank even deeper. It was inevitable that the value of information was higher than expected.

Artifacts, like [Mimung], a gift Wade gave to Leonard earlier, were not utilized much due to their unique abilities and were often left to rot in a corner of the warehouse. This was because neither auras nor magic worked, and if you tried to use several of them in combination, the artifacts would reject or explode.

The price was too high and the quantity was too scarce to use artifacts to demonstrate the principle, and the risk of accidents was too anomalous and too high to be commercialized without large-scale testing.

however.

‘Did you say Drake? If it is possible to artificially create a contractor with the power of a higher deity like this man, then increasing the utility of the artifact several times cannot be considered vain.’

The arrangement was to blow off the head immediately if anything suspicious was seen, but as Drake’s ransom increased significantly, there was a reason to capture him alive. If the risk outweighs the merit, it would be best to kill him, but the merit is still greater.

“Did you say commander of the Young Dragon Knights?”

It was then.

Drake, who was still holding the steering wheel, opened his mouth.

“We all know that you are suspicious of us. “I understand their position, but there is no way or evidence to clearly explain it.”

“Was it necessary to say that out loud? “If you bring it up like that, you might get even more suspicious.”

“I might be able to explain. The biggest reason why our Wild Hunt is under suspicion is because our whereabouts are unclear. “I may not be able to tell you everything, but I will answer any questions you ask.”

Hmm, Corbin tilted his head.

From his perspective, it was a no-lose proposition.

If you are the leader of the Young Dragon Knights, you can easily detect them no matter how well they make facial expressions or how calmly they lie. The longer and more numerous the words, the more obvious their falsity becomes, so the condition itself of not remaining silent was overwhelmingly advantageous.

“great. “I’ve never been on a ship for a long time, so I’m already getting quite bored, so I guess I won’t be bored.”

Adventure groups have different systems and atmospheres, so it is difficult to find common ground other than the fact that the members are adventurers.

The same was true for Aquamarine, Zaratan, and Wild Hunt.

Aquamarine, where the leader and members interact horizontally, and Zaratan, which maintains a vertical employment relationship based on power and money, were good examples. So what is the centripetal force that sustains the unity of Wild Hunt?

Drake answered without a moment of hesitation.

“It’s a spirit of adventure.”

It was the original intention that all the adventurers registered in Bermuda had at one time, and it was the answer that they all eventually lost.

Corbin asked with a sneer, as if snorting at those words.

“Wow, that’s a truly adventurer-like answer. Does this mean that we are a group of people willing to take risks and explore the unknown?”

“It’s similar. Because it is a gathering of people who have decided to follow their own path, regardless of status or origin. “The tendency got even worse after I started wandering the sea due to the trident’s curse.”

This was one of the reasons why Wild Hunt’s activities were kept hidden despite its great reputation. As an S-rank adventure group, each member was a talented person who had no choice but to make a name for themselves wherever they went, but they were eccentrics who only wandered around secret places without much interest in wealth and fame.

He explained that the activities reported in Bermuda were only a part of it, and that most of the cases that caused a big uproar in the world were not reported.

In some ways, it could be said that it was even more amazing because it was recognized as S grade even though most of the activities were concealed.

‘The gist of the time zone and situation matches. There is no sign of lying or bragging, and he considers the blessings granted by [Poseidon]’s trident piece to be a nuisance.’

It may not be possible to say for sure until the subjugation of the Foreign Church is completed, but judging by their behavior so far, there is no question.

Corbin changed the topic by raising the evaluation of Drake and the Wild Hunt Adventure Team to the next level. The story was only at the beginning, so he still had a mountain of things to ask and hear.

This was around the time Leonard and his group encountered Leviathan.

* * *

In conclusion, the decision to divide the expedition into two groups and attack them at the same time was infinitely close to the best.

The worshipers of [Scylla] and [Charybdis] made a rare agreement to cooperate and decided to try their luck equally by taking control of the two places closest to the outer dimension in the 6th sea area. When one side fails, the other inevitably succeeds by taking advantage of the aftermath. What was obtained as a result of the success of the Advent Ritual was a contract to divide it exactly in half.

Therefore, the only way to completely fail this advent ritual was to close the external dimensional connection between the two sea areas without an error of even a comma second. In a situation where communication was blocked due to the influence of Sea Area 6, it was not something that could be done against a monster close to Jinshin level.

It’s a shame that Leonard entered the unity of heaven and man for a few seconds due to the excitement of the fierce battle, otherwise it would have been completely impossible to understand the situation.

And it was also correct that Leonard did not accompany Wild Hunt, not Aquamarine.

?■■… Ποσει, ■■■… ιδ?ν… ■■… !

One of the common denominators between [Scylla] and [Charybdis] is that they have a relationship with Olympus, a god race that ruled in the past. Since they were beings who could have reigned as true gods in this world if they had not been driven out, they had no choice but to be more persistent than those who were fundamentally foreign gods.

[Scylla] was born not as a personal god but as the child of the monster gods [Typhon] and [Echidna], while [Charybdis] was the child of [Poseidon] and [Gaia], who are considered the main gods among the gods of Olympus.

If Drake was brought before Leviathan, who became the host of [Charybdis], [Charybdis] would devour him, even if it meant cutting off his godhood, and inherit the power of [Poseidon], securing the legitimacy to immediately descend to this world. It would have been thrown away.

however.

?■■■, ■■■■■… ! Ποσειδ?ν… !

From the perspective of [Scylla], the child of a monster god who essentially opposes a personal god, [Poseidon] was merely an enemy that stimulated her instincts. Unlike [Charybdis], swallowing Drake only caused an upset stomach as it collided at the root unit.

The moment the Wild Hunt invaded her territory, [Scylla] felt the energy of [Charybdis] flowing in from afar.

?■■■■■■■■■■!!!

At the same time, Σκ?λλα (the tearer) accepted his impulse and sent down a part of himself.

There were several factors that contributed to the fact that Sea Area 6 was not so polluted even after it had been demonized for a long time, but two were the most representative.

One is that the influence of [Scylla] and [Charybdis] canceled each other’s areas, approaching nothingness. As both were reduced to foreign gods, the hostility greatly subsided, but the powers of the personal god and the monster god could not accept each other regardless of cooperation.

The second was to fully utilize the power scattered throughout the Demonic World for the inevitable coming ceremony.

“??This!?”

Naturally, it was Corbin, who possessed the perception of a demigod, who foresaw the emergence of a higher-dimensional being.

Next, Drake felt the creature’s presence, and cold sweat poured out from his torso, turning his dry, rustling clothes into a wet mess.

“monster… water.”

It was thanks to the blessing of [Poseidon]. At sea alone, a bursting sound as if the world was being torn into several pieces rang out within Drake’s perception range, the size and power of which reached that of a demi-god.

Squeak. Take a picture.

The dimensional boundary is torn like a sheet of paper.

It is a wall that is praised as great even if it has only a slight scratch with 9th rank anti-magic or mental martial arts. The only being that could tear it apart so casually was a True-God.

Six snake heads came out at once from a crack in the dimensional boundary, unnoticed by those without qualifications.

Just looking directly at the twelve blood-red eyes would make even transcendental-level strongmen shudder, and flimsy relics would shatter into pieces.

“The body of Σκ?λλα (Scylla)… ?! No, it’s powder!”

It goes beyond the level of projecting one’s own strength and authority, and cuts off part of the body and drops it into the world.

The fragments of the foreign body that tore apart the dimension by consuming all the power accumulated in the 6th sea area fell into the sea in a shape similar to its original body, causing a huge splash.

Coo coo coo coo coo coo??… !!!

As waves like a tsunami rushed out, even the Golden Hind was helplessly pushed back, forcing it backwards for several kilometers.

As expected from a Masterpiece-class ship, the fuselage did not flip over or suffer any damage, but the members, overwhelmed by the presence of foreign media, were unable to move, their teeth chattering in place.

Only Corbin desperately developed his imagination and created a singularity on a scale that could overwhelm Golden Hind.

Hidden Blade

Infiltration into ignorance and ignorance

Shadow Dive

It was a moment.

The shadow that was randomly changing its appearance around the Golden Hind widened as if it were a hole dug in the ground and quickly sucked the entire ship in.

“Huh?!”

“Don’t react! “It’s my skill!”

Drake blocked his reflexive attempt to move his stomach, and Corbin, who had used up nearly half of the aura in his body, managed to swallow the blood.

Although it is a powder body rather than a main body, its status and output have already surpassed that of a demigod. If he was going to fool the bastard’s senses, he had no choice but to overdo it, risking his life.

Moreover, although Shadow Dive’s stealth maneuver has already been proven several times against demigod-level beings, the effectiveness of techniques used after their existence was discovered is greatly different from techniques used before that.

?… ■■■■■.

just as expected.

The murderous intent pouring from [Scylla]’s six heads struck the spot where Golden Hind sank. [Scylla] tilted her head crookedly, as if laughing at his struggles, and soon a blood-red glow appeared in her eyes.

Creepy.

A chill ran down Corbin’s spine when he saw that.

and.

Kiiiiiiiing???!!

The ray of light that passed by the side of the ship, which had protruded back into the material world after disarming , flashed as it tore through space so deep that the bottom of the sea was visible.

Is it an attack? No, I just glared at him once.

Even though I just rolled my eyes, like I was looking at a rat hiding in the grass, the sea was torn apart. If it had been a direct hit, it would have penetrated even the shadows, which physical force could not have penetrated, and would have caused fatal damage to Golden Hind.

Corbin, who narrowly avoided a direct hit, punched Drake hard on the back and shouted.

“drake! We must run away with all our might!”

“Oh, I understand!”

At the command of Drake, who finally came to his senses, Golden Hind accelerated rapidly and fled in a manner that did not live up to its reputation.

?■■! ■■■■! ■■■!!

As if they were amused by their struggles, the six-headed snake started chasing them while laughing viciously. The man who returned to this world after a long time was in a much higher mood than usual.

So much so that I want to enjoy the pain and struggle of my prey for a longer period of time.

The battle began to see whether Golden Hind would join the expedition first, or be reduced to just a meal for [Scylla] before that.
