Sword Emperor Reincarnated as a Sword Master Chapter 248

Geomje reincarnated as a swordsmith (248)

While Leonard and his party were entering the final battle against [Scylla] in the southern seas, the punitive force dispatched to the far eastern part of the continent was also entering the final stage of the fight.

Commander of the Red Dragon Knights, Wade.

Commander of the Blue Dragon Knights, Grace.

〈Pentagon〉’s 4th place, Aleister.

Three demigods were dispatched, two knights were mobilized, and dozens of Wickline wizards joined in. The devil worshipers hiding in the far eastern outskirts had no way to survive once their location was completely discovered.

A little less than half a day had passed since the advance guard’s reconnaissance, and the battle between the great demons and Wade, whom the devil worshipers looked up to as gods, had come to an end.

Coo coo coo coo coo coo??… !

A loud noise like a landslide spread from the ground in all directions, causing uncontrollable shaking even from several kilometers away. The impact was comparable to that of a small earthquake.

“ah… ! iced coffee… ! [Behemoth]… !?”

“It doesn’t make sense… ! This isn’t reality… !”

The devil worshipers who witnessed the scene screamed and wailed. Several swords were thrust into and out of the bodies of those who had forgotten that they were in the middle of a battle, and as if they had been fighting tirelessly like berserkers and kept attacking them, they fell down helplessly, as if it were a lie.

To them, Behemoth, the ‘heart’ demon, was literally like a god. In [Nine Hells], the great demons who rarely descended to Middle-earth, and the worshipers who were confident that they had transcended humans with their blood and flesh, even lost their fighting spirit with the death of the target.

It had to be that way.

Because no one could have predicted that the Great Demons, who were running rampant with bodies the size of mountains and physical abilities that were barely applicable to anti-magic or mental martial arts, would be defeated.

Except for one person.

Fuwaaaaak!

The light form that pierced through the skin of the Behemoth’s body immediately turned into a human and shook off its sword.

“… “It was close.”

In the end, victory was achieved, but if the timing of destroying the heart within the Behemoth’s body had been delayed even a little, this result would have been completely reversed.

Wade accurately found his target even with less than 3 seconds left on Aradwar, and there was no worse misfortune for Behemoth. Just as the source of the supernatural power used by the ‘brain’ demons exists in the brain, the source of the power that makes the ‘heart’ demons powerful is also the heart.

However, this did not mean that the difficulty of conquering the heart was low.

It was an indispensable opponent who had enough attack power to penetrate through the skin, muscles, and bones that were like the walls of the Diamond Buddha.

“ah! “Our old man is back!”

Grace, the leader of the Blue Dragon Knights who built a mountain with the corpses of demons, approached Wade, who had just appeared, waving her hands.

As a person with the ability to be most active in large-scale battles, it was no exaggeration to say that she created half of the corpses of the demons by herself.

Wade, satisfied with his record, nodded and answered.

“As one reaches higher levels, the enormity of the body often becomes a weakness. “The capacity of the power that can be contained will increase, but as the density decreases, the possibility of being defeated by an enemy that is inferior in capacity increases if the vital points and weaknesses are identified.”

“Well, if Behemoth was an entity that could compress its own life force like that, it would have already passed the realm of demigod level. “It’s not that I didn’t do it even though I knew, but it’s that I couldn’t do it, right?”

“Maybe so. “He might not be able to answer.”

Feeling the Behemoth’s infinite vitality fading away quickly, Wade looked down at the battlefield from above its body.

The forces of the Red Dragon Knights, Blue Dragon Knights, and Wizards were slaughtering almost all of the devastated devil worshipers. No, there were people who did not lose their fighting spirit, but their momentum was greatly reduced.

The physical abilities and combat power of the devil worshipers hiding in this place were truly amazing, but their abnormal strength came directly from the blood and flesh of the Behemoth. At the point when he died, the effectiveness of flesh and blood was greatly reduced, and the situation of the war became one-sided.

“There are only a few dead, but there are many seriously injured. “If the wizards hadn’t come, half of those wounded would have died.”

Grace, who agreed with Wade’s words, fired the , killed several more demons, and opened her mouth.

“It’s not [Nine Hell], because the demons active in Middle Earth have no resistance or immunity to magic. Since the wizard itself is not weakened like in , it is more capable than the knights in a battlefield like now where firepower can be projected.”

“Unlike the Black Dragon Knights or the Blue Dragon Knights, the Red Dragon Knights find it difficult to get help from wizards, so it’s a bit unfamiliar. “It’s not that I don’t like it.”

Among them, the performance shown by Pentagon’s 4th place, Aleister, was quite remarkable. He was a person who raised the status of summoning magic, which was little known because its users and schools were minor.

He summons high-risk monsters and drops them into the enemy camp, and if they seem strong among the demons, he summons them one by one to the knights’ siege camp and makes them die in vain. It wasn’t an activity that would turn the battlefield over with a single blow, but if it was repeated continuously, it would be difficult to give the enemies even more nightmares.

It was probably thanks to this that the damage to the Red Dragon Knights and the Blue Dragon Knights was much lower than expected.

however.

‘… A feeling of discomfort that is even unpleasant remains. ‘More than being excited about victory and past records, there is something that bothers me.’

As Wade thought so, he widened his eyes and looked around the battlefield. If there was anything he missed, even if it was something very small and insignificant, he had to find it. The value of this victory was significant, but not so great that it was blinding.

The ground was filled with the corpses of demons, each of whom could be classified as grade A, and the corpses of Behemoths, who had been rejected by the world laws of Middle-earth, were also about to return to ashes.

Wade muttered, having finally discovered the identity of the discomfort.

“Why were these guys discovered after hiding well for over 100 years?”

“huh? According to the report of the Young Dragon Knights?”

“If it was a report, I read it too. “At the time, I didn’t feel uncomfortable and just ignored it, but when I think about it again, it’s a bit strange.”

The reason why the devil worshipers were caught this time was because people who approached the Behemoth, which was disguised as a hill or mountain, kept disappearing. Most of the adventurers who came to investigate were caught and killed, but when a survivor came forward, they were all discovered.

“Not only did it escape their hands at the level of an external force realm, let alone a transcendental realm, but they discovered its identity and immediately reported it to the empire? “It’s not at a level that can be understood simply by saying he’s competent.”

“… … “I see.”

“Even if it was missed due to the magicians’ mistake, there is no way they wouldn’t know that fact. “They could have moved the base before we arrived, or waited in a more advantageous location.”

Rather than intending to win from the beginning, it was as if they had abandoned this base and all of their power with the intention of abandoning it. There was nothing more unpleasant than being discarded and having unknown targets.

Among Cardenas’ strong players, it was Wade who became second in skill and experience. So he was instinctively convinced. We shouldn’t attach much meaning to this battle. Not only the demons, but even the Behemoth are nothing more than expendable items used to attract attention.

Even though he got to the truth before anyone else, there were still unanswered questions in Wade’s mind.

‘why?’

The power possessed by Behemoth and Demons was considerable.

Because three demigods, two knights, and a group of wizards were mobilized, the damage was minimal. But is there a separate strategic goal that would warrant throwing away this amount of power? The biggest question was that it didn’t even seem like that.

By intentionally having their positions discovered and intentionally making unfavorable moves, they were intentionally wiped out.

In the end, the reason remained unknown.

“When Director Corbyn returns, I’ll have to ask him to find out more. “I don’t think there’s anything that will come out of further investigation here.”

Any further consideration than this is a waste of time.

Wade coolly cut off his train of thought and pulled out the sword. After confirming that almost all of the aura and mental power he had used up through had been recovered, he rushed at the demons. They didn’t even need to use mental martial arts, and the Auror Blade was enough for them.

The few remaining horsemen soon died out, and the expedition in the Far East was successfully completed.

I am left with only one question that leaves a lukewarm aftertaste.

* * *

Leonard, the man who raised a shout of victory after completing the decisive battle with [Scylla], was quietly sitting cross-legged in the private room of Aquamarine, which he had visited for the first time in a long time.

I reached a point where there was no problem with my fortune-telling even while standing on my head, but since it was a posture I had been practicing since my childhood in my previous life, there was bound to be a slight difference in my concentration.

The interval between inhalation and exhalation is almost an hour long, and the energy operated by gentle breathing flows between the inner and outer world, gradually stabilizing the mind and body. It was not easy to quell the aftereffects of ‘Suzaku Arrival’ without the support of Dragon Heart and the Law of the World.

‘The backlash is stronger than when I used mental martial arts during the Transcendental Period. Does this mean that it is still too early to go beyond the realm of Shinhwa-gyeong?’

Leonard burst into laughter as soon as he thought of that thought.

When he was living as Geomje Yeon Moo-hyeok, he could not reach the level of Hyeon-gyeong even though he devoted his entire life to it, but in this life, it was funny to see him trying to talk about how long he had been able to reach the next level.

Although he quickly built up his career through skill and life-or-death battles against powerful enemies, the foundation of martial arts that was not properly laid was bound to collapse easily.

I had to be satisfied with having at least opened 〈Ilwon Five Elements Sword〉.

‘The balance of the five elements is disturbed, perhaps due to the aftermath of the Suzaku’s transformation. How many months will it take just to correct that and normalize it? Although my feelings for fire energy and Namshinryu have deepened, I will not be able to control everything.’

Enlightenment is not something that becomes yours once you get it, but something slips away when you grab it.

If you forcefully try to hold it, you will lose what is left in your palm, which could become the starting point of a coin attack. Leonard, who had adjusted his mindset through past experiences, slowly opened his eyes.

A five-colored eye light erupted for a moment, but then bounced off the wall of the private room and soon disappeared without a trace.

“… At this level, basic movement should be no problem. “The entire [Charybdis] church has been sorted out, so there won’t be any more fighting.”

Thinking about that, Leonard’s eyebrows twitched for a moment.

This was because, as the base of the Foreign Church was wiped out, the sense of discomfort I felt at that time came to mind.

There was a moment when I felt anxious because I couldn’t find the reason or rationality for the meaningless and worthless waste, as if I had just thrown away everything I had prepared for hundreds of years.

‘To be exact, it’s a little different. I even felt like I had spontaneously cleared out my inventory, as if an invitation to a bigger and more extravagant banquet had arrived, to the point where everything I had prepared before the banquet seemed like trash.’

As soon as the pleasure of victory subsided, a chill ran down my spine.

It’s not enough that the foreign media, which were threatening to install things on their own, are not enough and are preparing to cause an even bigger accident?

[Scylla], which descended in powder form, was a situation that could be said to be the threat of the century. If Leonard didn’t harbor the ancestor’s residual spirit, or if he couldn’t overcome his limits and reach the realm of True God level, he had no chance of winning at all.

The power vacuum of the expedition team that came to the southern seas was clearly a fatal blow to the Cardenas and Arcadia empires, and would have turned into a major disaster in the near future.
