Sword Emperor Reincarnated as a Sword Master Chapter 250

Sword Emperor Reincarnated as a Swordsmith (250)

It was a very rare phenomenon even in ancient times, but compared to now, the unit for counting the number itself was different.

Deification.

Interpreted literally, it was a general expression of the change of being reborn as a divine being. It could be said that it was a stage of creating one’s own divinity, unlike the gods who possessed divinity from birth or the descendants who inherited their blood. Additionally, mortals who reach this stage are not restricted by race, and there is no limit to their lifespan.

Humans, elves, and dwarves.

Even monsters like goblins and trolls could overcome their origins and become gods if their qualifications were recognized.

Among the five great realms that divide the realm of monsters, the divine demon realm, which corresponds to the final realm, was the one that corresponded to it. Even if you count everything from ancient times to today, they are so rare that it is questionable how many there are.

{It can be said to be impossible for a monster that has not inherited the bloodline of a god. The well-known monster gods and monster gods are all descendants of gods or are born from their by-products.}

The Jotuns, the origins of the Trolls, the giants who fought against the Aesir gods in the past, were ultimately descendants of gods born from the primordial giant god [Ymir]. It has deteriorated over so many years that it has lost the power and divinity that resides in its blood, so it has been reduced to a monster.

It was a possibility close to zero, but if ancestral regression or atavism occurred every few thousand years, a troll from the Divine Demonic Sutra might be born. Compared to goblins or orcs, who are fundamentally nothing more than monsters, their level of potential is bound to be different.

“Boreas! “I have a question!”

{what.}

Vivian, who had been listening to the story with Leonard, raised her hand. Boreas, who turned his head without ignoring me, asked if even a simple contract was quite lenient towards my contractor.

“Are monsters like ogres and cyclops all descendants or by-products of the gods? The more dangerous monsters are, the higher their intelligence and potential are. Was it because their origins themselves were superior?”

{It is true. Ogres are descendants of [Orcus], the god of the underworld, and Cyclops are distant descendants of Cyclops, who was classified as a giant god.}

The remaining ogres of this era are all monsters armed with cunning and violence. Going back a thousand years, they were a servant race of God who punished those who tried to dig up the graves. It was also said that he was sent as a punisher if he violated the promises and oaths made to the dead or betrayed the surviving family members.

It was the same with Cyclops.

It was their ancestor, Cyclops, who created divine tools for [Zeus], ​​[Poseidon], and [Hades], who are the gods of the Olympian gods. Even with only fragments of their bloodline remaining, they were a race that could be considered S-class dangerous.

“… “It’s a story I’ve never heard of anywhere.”

“If I told this to scholars who study the origins of monsters, they would all burst into laughter.”

Come innocently! I see! Unlike Vivian, who accepted it, Ninian and Leonard had to hold their tongues under the weight of the information.

The origins of monsters, which can only be called foreign substances in the ecosystem, have been studied for a long time, but without much success, and the prevailing hypothesis was that they were distortions of world laws or mutations of existing organisms.

The story Boreas told now completely denies that.

{Has the story gone a little further? To return to the case of the benefactor, in the battle with [Scylla], signs of deification began to appear due to his proximity to the realm of gods, albeit briefly.}

Leonard thought about those words, noticed something uncomfortable in Boreas’ tone, and asked a question.

“Your tone doesn’t sound positive? I guess deification isn’t all that good. “My body keeps trying to get out of my control, and I feel like I shouldn’t leave it alone.”

{I have a good feeling. Just as the benefactor guessed.}

Boreas immediately agreed and added a few sentences.

{Just because deification has occurred does not mean that it will all be successful, and if the preparation is insufficient, it may not be possible to fully create one’s divinity. In the case of a benefactor, he has at least four directions, but he may not be able to fable all of them and only have one.}

“… In that case, my divinity would now be biased towards fire energy.”

{Accurate.}

It was like proof that Oui, who was able to temporarily display the power of a true god, had been deified due to Suzaku Dorae.

‘I’m saying that if I adapt to the gravitational force that appears in my body right now, I can become Shinhwagyeong… ‘Does it end up in a form where the size and completeness of the bowl are greatly reduced?’

As it is, the power to complete all the five elements harmoniously and handle the five powers as one would be the true Mythical Sutra of the Ilwon Five Elements Divine Gong.

However, if the balance of the five elements was broken by , and he was dragged into deification, he could only achieve deity limited to fire, not the five elements. Not only does it weaken the prestige of being a divine being or the concept of being in charge, but it is also the biggest problem.

-If you are the owner of the throne, you cannot simply reach godhood. He must have the power to contain the entire world. If he possesses power that is so far out of balance, he is not qualified to sit on the throne even if he becomes a god. In the old days, the heads of various god tribes shared that role, but in today’s era, that is not possible.

A story about Yggdrasil passed through Leonard’s mind.

The emptiness of the throne.

It meant that there was no way to solve the fundamental cause of the world inevitably getting closer to destruction. No matter how many demons pouring out of [Nine Hell] were defeated or how many foreign invasions were thwarted, it was all just buying time.

As the laws of the world weakened, the blurring of the boundaries that prevented movement and invasion between dimensions had to be prevented.

“How to stop the process of deification or calm the impulse?”

{does not exist.}

Boreas spoke firmly.

{The current state may only be at the level of self-restraint, but if you use the technique you used last time again, an attraction that cannot be suppressed by will will come into play.}

“Is sealed for the time being? ? “No, wait a minute.”

{I think I know what you’re wondering. Do you want to ask whether it is possible to cancel out the attraction acting in two directions by invoking the deification of opposite attributes?}

“okay.”

Boreas, who guessed Leonard’s idea in advance, thought about it for a while and then acknowledged that the method had a chance of success.

{possible… I guess I will. If the balance of power is even slightly lopsided, it will be more dangerous because twice the amount of manpower will be generated.}

“I guess this method can’t be tried a third time. I get it.”

Even if you successfully block Suzaku’s deification with the deification of Hyeonmu, who is located at the opposite pole, if you cause a third deification, the level of difficulty will be incomparable to coordinating two powers.

Only when the white tiger keeper and the blue dragon keeper are deified at the same time can the balance not be destroyed, and by completing the Four Directions God, the deification of the yellow dragon, who will sit in the very center, becomes possible.

Although it sounded like an unreasonable problem, Leonard had already decided to choose that method.

{That’s all I know about deification. I hope I can be of some help to my benefactor.}

“It was a big help. Should I say that Yggdrasil’s debt has been paid?”

{No, the kindness of sending my mother off is a debt I cannot repay even if I sacrifice my entire being. Please refrain from doing so.}

Boreas, who laughed heartily and refused to say those words, melted into the wind and disappeared again, and Ninian and Vivian, who had picked up their story, naturally held their heads and groaned.

“The scale of the story has grown so much that it doesn’t feel realistic at all.”

“Your sister too?”

The problem was that Vivian was the one summoned by Boreas, so she had to listen to everything without being able to get away.

Aside from Leonard, they were probably the only ones who knew everything from the origins of high-potential monsters to the details of their deification. If you went to the Magic Tower or the Occult Society and reported the contents, it would not be strange if you received a few Great Territories as a reward. The story of the Ancient Spirit King, a being active in the past, had great value.

Since the original nature of the race was to be indifferent to material desires, there was nothing to do.

Only Leonard was looking calm on the outside, only standing with his fists clenched tightly, pondering the story.

‘I feel like so much is at stake with my life… , Rather than dwelling on that responsibility, I want to burn my life like a warrior.’

At some point, I have been obsessed with causes such as saving the world or taking the place of God to prevent a crisis.

However, Leonard’s essence was ultimately that of a warrior.

A spirit of madness that risks one’s life to find out how far one can hone one’s strength and how far one can lead. Trying to reach the realm of God was also more focused on self-strengthening rather than saving the world. To be precise, saving the world was a bonus, and becoming stronger was a priority.

Hwareuk.

The firearm, whose status and power output has increased abnormally with , is about to soar to the hundredth time, as if responding to Leonard’s fighting spirit.

Leonard, barely able to suppress it, smiled bitterly.

‘Are you stimulated just by the occurrence of heated emotions such as fighting spirit or anger? ? ‘I think we need to hasten the deification of Hyeonmu a little more.’

The signs of deification were stronger and faster than expected.

He realizes once again that the forces and situations he must control in the future are not easy, and he manages to calm down his heightened emotions.

“Benefactor!”

“hmm?”

At that time, Vivian, who had no idea about Leonard’s agony, spoke with an innocent expression.

“If you don’t have anything special to do, why don’t you take a look around the shopping district with me and your sister? Even after my benefactor returned to the empire, it changed quite a bit! “It will be fun to watch!”

If it were a normal Leonard, he would have refused without much thought, but now the story was a little different. The more complicated your mind becomes, the more it can have a negative impact on your deification, and if you delve deeper with fortune-telling and meditation, your condition may worsen.

So, unlike him, he accepted Vivian’s suggestion.

“Of course. “I still haven’t had anything to kill time until dinner.”

“and! There are still a few hours left until dinner, so it might be a good idea to take a walk! “Just follow me!”

“Vivian, I told you not to drive on crowded roads!”

Leonard laughed as he looked at the elf and half-elf sisters, who had a strong bond of friendship even though they were only half related by blood.

Becoming strong and protecting the world.

It’s not a situation where you have to choose between the two, so why does it matter which one comes first? Become strong and save the world. That was enough for Leonard.

Leonard, who followed Ninian and Vivian, put aside all of his duties and responsibilities for the first time in a long time and enjoyed his leisure time, unpacking all the worries he had accumulated with Aquamarine members at the restaurant reserved for dinner. There was plenty to talk about with those who could not join in the subjugation of foreign media.

“If you ever need to visit the Arcadian Empire, or even just for sightseeing, please contact Cardenas and tell me my name. “As soon as possible, there won’t be any problems.”

Galano, who was biting a chicken leg, burst into laughter at those words.

“Hey, I’m looking forward to it! “I heard that imperial officials view all people outside the empire as barbarians, but I was curious how they would react if I told them our captain’s name!”

“Typically a person who should not have power.”

When Galano, who had imagined the situation despite Ninian’s harsh words, laughed bitterly, Esther and Lorelai sighed softly and shook their heads.

If you think about it, the person in this adventure group whose desires were most blatant was Galano. Both elves and wizards were far from being greedy for material goods or power. That’s probably why he didn’t show much in response to that snobbish remark. Even though Galano himself would say things like that, he was not the kind of person who would do something thoughtlessly.

And the most excited person here was Francis, the adventure leader, not Galano.

“Thanks to Leonard, Sea Area 6 has become safe, and it is now possible to explore the ruins of Oceanos buried in that sea area!”

Perhaps sensing that the day to regain his glory as a descendant of the Kingdom of Oceanus was approaching, Francis, who was unusually drunk, hugged Leonard by one arm and raised the glass held in his other hand high.

Aquamarine members also raised their glasses to the beat.

Francis, who saw this, shouted loudly as if announcing departure.

“Cheers to our adventure!”

“””Cheers!”””

The sound of glasses hitting each other was loud.
