Sword Emperor Reincarnated as a Sword Master Chapter 257

Geomje reincarnated as a swordsmith (257)

It was some time after that.

When the conquest of [Nine Hell] was mentioned at the Great Council by order of Laila, the current emperor of Arcadia, the three families gathered all the energy they had been using for intelligence and began exploring the possibility.

It wasn’t something completely absurd like an attack from an external dimension, but saying it was theoretically possible was almost impossible. Even defending the nine passages connecting the Middle Earth and the Demon World would result in significant casualties, so why would you give up all the advantages of a defensive battle and go to the enemy camp to engage in combat?

Audrey, the leader of the Black Dragon Knights, shook her head at those words. Of the three families, she was the one who knew [Nine Hell] and the ecology of her demons better than anyone else, so she could say for sure.

Seriously, in order to dry up the seeds of demons in [Nine Hell], the entire national power of the empire had to be invested.

“Stopping the demons who came through the gates of hell here and going to the demon world and subduing them are completely different stories.”

Audrey, who had finished rehabilitating her arm, spoke calmly.

“Each individual demon is powerful, but their number is also an unavoidable risk factor. cloth? only? No, even if they are annihilated in units of a million, their power vacuum will not be revealed. Even in a defense war with greatly limited volume, it was barely possible to secure the front line, but if an offensive was attempted, the number of deaths of children would only increase significantly.”

“Well, I guess so. Strictly speaking, demons are an unusual race that cannot be classified as ‘living things,’ and they will continue to grow inexhaustibly until all the divine power deposited in [Nine Hell] is consumed.”

Declen agreed with that statement but did not back down.

“Still, I have no choice but to do it. If the existence of [Nine Hell] and the demons act as a medium to bring in foreign gods, then there is no choice but to minimize their number and influence as much as possible.”

“It may be better than annihilation, but minimization doesn’t make much of a difference. To reduce the influence of the demon world, not only must the demons be killed in large numbers, but the territory itself must be purified. “We must first come up with an answer as to whether the world polluted by the remains of the gods who died in the War of Destruction can be normalized in the realm of mortals.”

“There are three methods suggested by Wickline.”

As if anticipating Audrey’s rebuttal, Declan handed her a report he had pulled out of his sleeve and said,

“The first is to offset the influence of that land by mobilizing relics from the past that the White Dragon Knights have recovered. “There was one person that the expedition team that went to the southern seas recruited as a collaborator. He was the blessing of a main god-level god race, so he seemed to be able to handle most of the relics of that lineage as intended.”

“… Are you saying that you are going to fight against the gods with the power of the gods? second is?”

“The second one is a bit extreme. We are attempting to seal and destroy the nine dimensional passages. “It is said that the way to minimize contact with the middle world is to close the way for enemies to come over, and if possible, cut them out of this world like in the heavenly world.”

“It’s too dangerous. Did you know that the passage to [Nine Hell] reappears somewhere in the world even if the door is closed or destroyed? Even if it could be completely destroyed, it would be a problem. “If the dimension that was once torn apart by the War of Destruction is cut again, there is a high probability that the dimension will collapse.”

“So I dismissed it too. “The method we can use will ultimately be a mixture of the first and third.”

Declan answered that way and proposed a third theory.

“This is the method suggested by Simon Magus, the head of the Mysterious Association. Originally, it was said to be the fruit of magical research to normalize the land polluted by the or to pioneer an uninhabited dimension where life cannot survive.”

Struggle is not the only way to survive annihilation.

Just like the Elyos, migrating to another dimension and prioritizing only the survival of humanity could be considered a solution. However, what the wizards learned while searching for other dimensions was that there were almost no worlds within the scope of human survival.

There is no air, weak gravity, or no water.

There was also a world where all animals and plants were poisonous to humans, and where the combat power of unintelligent monsters was terrifying. If you look at it from another perspective, it was also natural. In a proper world, there was a high possibility that God would appear. In a place left without a ruler, there had to be an environment or elements that made it difficult for intelligent life to exist.

However, entering a world already ruled by divine beings was too risky. If that being was an evil god, it would be like falling into a tiger’s den while trying to avoid a wolf.

Therefore, there was only one path for the wizards to choose.

“Terraforming.”

Transform a world where there is almost no possibility of survival for humanity into a world that guarantees the minimum possibility of survival.

Even the Mystic Society, which receives Arcadia’s financial resources, could not cope with the resource consumption, so only theoretical research was being conducted in this area.

When Audrey heard those details, she tilted her head for a moment and then her eyes widened as if she remembered something.

“… “I think I found someone who can help.”

“Who is it?”

“Leonard. The sword techniques and auror use that the child taught to the Black Dragon Knights serve as natural enemies for demons. If we apply that, wouldn’t it be possible to push out not only the demons but also the [Nine Hells] themselves?”

“Hoo.”

Declan, who was pleased with Audrey’s words, stopped his solo meeting on the spot and told her to go to Leonard.

In order to fight against the destruction that was approaching in real time, not even a minute or a second was wasted.

* * *

“therefore… Are you saying that you can put the power of anti-demon or exorcism into a magic circle and use it to remove the influence of [Nine Hell]?”

“It is as it is said. “It might be possible with the you taught in the Black Dragon.”

At Audrey’s sudden words, Leonard blinked with a bewildered look on his face.

I knew that there was talk about the conquest of the [Nine Hells] while meeting the emperor a while ago, but I had no idea that I would be asked for the martial arts and fighting methods knowledge that I had previously taught to the Black Dragon Knights. Leonard, who had been looking through memories related to the Black Dragon Knights, soon became serious.

〈Gasabokmagong(袈裟伏魔功)〉.

〈Witha Bok Demon Sword (韋陀伏魔劍)〉.

〈Anti-horse Uniform〉.

Although it wasn’t enough to be called a divine sword, it was still able to effectively deal with even noble-level demons. So, how much more powerful would an anti-magic attack that has reached the realm of Shingungjeolhak be?

‘Unlike the time when I was just a transcendental person, I can restore most of the martial arts skills that remain in my memory now that I have become half-nerd. Even martial arts such as the Shaolin Temple’s new martial arts techniques, the Great Power Diamond Jang (大力金剛掌) and the Arahant God Fist (阿羅漢神拳), can be reproduced more than 80% of the time.’

It may not be difficult if it is a martial art that you have never seen before, such as in 〈Three Swords of Bodhidharma〉, but if it is a martial art that you have seen with your own eyes or have dealt with in person, it is not difficult.

The problem was whether or not it was possible to fully convey the principles contained in Shingungjeolhak to all the magicians of the Mystic Association.

In general, people in the Central Plains feel a greater distance from Taoism than Buddhism, but this is because the roles and locations of Taoism and temples are very different.

‘If you look at the big picture, there are elements that can be seen as similar between wizards and gurus, but wizards and monks are completely different.’

The eternal life and enlightenment pursued in Taoism are ultimately concepts based on worldly desires and reality, but most of the core teachings in Buddhism are often far removed from life and death or the real world.

It is closer to the pilgrims that existed in ancient times. It wouldn’t be easy to accept it as a wizard’s values.

but.

“… “It is not a matter that we can give a definite answer to here.”

Leonard followed her without hesitation, knowing that the matter was too important to discuss the possibility without even trying it.

“Please take me to the wizards who are conducting research related to him. “We will cooperate as much as possible.”

“thanks. “It’s the same with the children of the Black Dragon, and I’m a little embarrassed as an adult because I rely on you so much.”

“That’s too much praise.”

As soon as the two talked like that, they headed to the Mystic Association, where terraforming research was in progress.

It was none other than Cruella who came to pick them up, as if they had already received information from Declan. A necromancer who worked with the Pentagon’s 4th-ranking knights of Cardenas as undead, allowing them to complete tasks they could not complete during their lifetime.

As always, she got on the broom and flapped her palm as soon as she spotted the two.

“Uh, are you here already? “The story is fast!”

“Because there is not much time left to waste.”

Cruella smiled bitterly at Leonard’s words and activated the magic circle previously drawn on the ground.

Paaaat!

Unlike Kalanta, who had moved him several times, the vibrations in space were very faint and did not cause dizziness or tremors.

The proficiency in spatial magic was significantly different.

As my vision fades and then recovers again and again, my sense of the ground returns. Leonard, who realized that he and Audrey had arrived in a strange room, tried to look around her.

‘??What.’

I belatedly discovered a being who might be equal to or better than Declan, and I reflexively stiffened.

If Declan was the one whose presence was like a blade cutting across the heavens and the earth, the wizard looking at him in front of him was like the night sky, so far away that he could not sense the distance.

Despite being promoted through the deification of two attribute powers, he is at an unnatural inferiority with no chance of victory.

Leonard soon realized the reason and took his hand off the sword.

“Excuse me, Chairman of the Mysterious Association.”

“Just call me Simon. “Do you prefer being called Commander of the Golden Dragon Knights, Leonard, or Candidate for the New Seat?”

“Leonard is enough.”

Since he was already in the Great Mage’s workshop, which was at the peak of the 9th rank, he had no chance of winning even at the same level.

The more thoroughly a wizard prepares, the higher his or her peak power becomes.

There was nothing more to say about a great mage who had built his or her own space over decades or hundreds of years. Inside this area, Simon can handle even three demigod-level beings, and can definitely overwhelm even opponents like Declan or Leonard in a one-on-one match.

Chairman of the Mysterious Association, number one in the Pentagon.

Simon Magus’ laboratory was almost close to the magic world.

‘… I just recently thought that wizards and gurus were similar, but I never thought I’d meet someone who made that impression even more certain.’

Seonpungdogol (仙風道骨).

To describe Grand Mage Simon’s appearance, it was hard to think of any more suitable words.

Skin stretched taut like a child.

Hair as white and clean as the first snow, from eyebrows to hair.

From the confident posture of straightening one’s back and chest, to the way one walks, the way one breathes, and the way one moves one’s gaze, everything was exquisite. If he hadn’t been wearing a mask, people would have believed him right away even if he had called himself a master of the Taoist clan.

“Yes, Leonard. I have analyzed the Auror operation method that you taught to the Black Dragon Knights. “He drew a flow from ideas and concepts that were different from anything existing, and demonstrated the ability to define ‘correctness’ and ‘incorrectness’ and normalize them.”

“Are you talking about ‘Demonbane’?”

“The name is not important. Because it can distract from its essence. “But if it’s the name you named it? You should respect it.”

Simon, an archmage who looked more like a Taoist than a Taoist, looked back with eyes as sunken as a quiet lake.

A room that was obscured by his presence is revealed.

The entire wall was covered with pictures or diagrams that were outside of the two-dimensional and three-dimensional framework, perhaps depicting the world and dimensionality. Even Leonard, who didn’t know much about terraforming, could sense that obsession at a glance.

“I think I’ve heard the whole story, so I’ll skip it. It’s a waste of time to spend on pretense. “Let’s continue talking about how we can normalize [Nine Hell] and return it to its original state.”

The world’s strongest archmage had his eyes shining brilliantly and revealed his pure white teeth to the young man who had shown a new path in front of him.
