Sword Emperor Reincarnated as a Sword Master Chapter 267

Geomje reincarnated as a swordsmith (267)

The conquering army that entered [Hell Gate], designated number 7 in Middle Earth, began building defensive positions as soon as they secured the area.

It was not a situation that could be resolved by defeating a specific enemy like the Spriggan Front. Even if the goal was to end the war quickly, there was a good chance that it would be a long-term war, and due to the nature of the war of conquest, protecting the land once acquired was the top priority.

Among them, [Hades], the entity that could be said to be the core of the operation to conquer the Demon World, had to be defended regardless of the situation.

The very act of usurping the influence of the demon world was entirely dependent on the divine power of [Hades]. Even if we were victorious in a hundred battles, if [Hades] were to disappear, the entire area restored through the Divine Realm would return to the Demon World and it would have been in vain.

Of course, it was not that the conquering army had not prepared for that part. The military was stationed around the gate, which was the central point of advance and retreat, and a means of maximizing defense was brought in.

It was Jehire’s turn to show off his role.

Kugu Palace… ! Kugung… ! Kugugugugung… !

3,000 golems, created as a result of investing every ounce of the annual national budget, line up like a castle wall, sink their legs into the ground, and transform their entire bodies into rectangles.

The Geumseong Iron Wall can be completed and dismantled in just a few tens of minutes.

The magic circles engraved on the surface of the golems blended together to create a shield that covered even the air. It was the result of a consumption of spiritual stones that could bankrupt several kingdoms if maintained for just one day, and a money rush that only an empire could not dare attempt.

Up to this point, it seemed like there was nothing more to do, but the knowledge of Gimun Transformation that was previously passed down to Leonard was added.

“Blessed Demon Jeongcheon Soul Breakdown (伏魔正天魂刷陣)… ?!”

Leonard only knew the theory, but was unable to put it into practice or implement it. It was also the legacy of Bangpa and Jincheon Jeongmumun, who were exterminated hundreds of years ago from the time Yeon Moo-hyeok was active in his previous life.

Even just the minimum requirements for the Jin method required more than a thousand crowns of gold, and the number of people needed to exceed at least 300, so even the person who created it would not have been able to put it into practice.

There was only a record of it being deployed once when subjugating the Daimain in the ancient times. In theory, even if the minimum conditions were met, 300 peak experts could overwhelm three or so top level experts.

“How is it? How does it feel to actually see the Jin you envisioned?”

“… “I thought it was possible in theory, but seeing it with my own eyes makes it even more absurd.”

“Hehe, it’s a joint product created by the Empire’s treasury and the Mystic Association.”

Simon Magus seemed more than satisfied.

He even burst out laughing, saying that the amount of money spent on just a few driving tests was way over his annual budget, and that he felt sorry for ever having to visit the Minister of Finance.

If it weren’t for a global crisis, it wouldn’t be surprising if the Minister of Finance collapsed a few times from stomach pain, no joke.

Still, thanks to this, the level of completion of the outpost has improved, and there is no need to carry [Hades] around like a shrine. Inside this defense facility, they could have held out for as long as the troops who had gone outside returned.

Since the basic strategy of the Demon World Conquest Army was blitzkrieg, the freedom of movement was significant.

―Five concentrated areas centered on high-ranking demons were discovered. Their positions and distances are too confusing to defeat them all sequentially, so defeating them individually seems to be the best option.

Wade nodded, as if agreeing with what [Hades] said.

“Thanks to Director Leonard, we were able to prevent the source from escaping, but we spent too much time building a position. “If we dilly-dally, our offensive will become known throughout the demon world.”

“But distributing power too little is a bit dangerous. “The brain and heart demons will be more powerful than those seen in Middle Earth, so two demigods will need to stick together.”

“Unidentified objects are dangerous, but we should also think about named ones. “If you encounter a named demon without any preparation, the aftermath alone will result in you being discovered.”

Fortunately, there were eight demigod-level strongmen accompanying him, so it was almost like he could hit four points at the same time.

And even though they are demigods, they are not all at the same level.

In the case of Leonard and Simon Magus, who extinguished the brain demons with a single blow, it was not enough to subdue the named demons on their own. This meant that even if we targeted all five locations, we had enough power.

We must secure as much territory as possible and restore the authority of [Hades] before the high-ranking demons notice them.

So Leonard decided to choose that compromise.

“Me and the Golden Dragon Knights will strike the nearest point. Depending on the damage situation, we either support other branches or return to the base to reorganize and defend the base.”

Because the number of people is small and the density of power is high on average, mobility and decision-making power are strong.

The other demigods also easily accepted it because they knew that part well.

“Hmm, I guess it’ll be okay.”

“If three or more demigod-level entities exist or more than two named-level entities are discovered, please contact the base. “We will immediately divert troops heading to other locations.”

“I’ll keep that in mind.”

As a result, it was decided that Leonard and Simon Magus would deal with one point, allowing the remaining two demigods to attack one point.

The movements of the Demon World Conquest Army were literally lightning fast.

As soon as the troop composition and target point are decided, the troops divided into five branches leave the outpost. The statues that became the apostles of [Hades], [Axiocersus], also followed suit, one each.

―If they are not in close range, it is more efficient to convey my authority through them.

“Wouldn’t it be destroyed or something?”

-It was made incredibly strong. Even if it breaks, there will be no problem. At the point when you become my apostle, it is not difficult to grant the existence of the underworld and immortality.

Hearing [Hades]’s confident words, Leonard let go of his concerns and glared at the target that had already begun to appear.

As my eyes grew infinitely closer to the dragon and my pupils sharpened, the scene at the edge of the horizon became as vivid as if it were right in front of my eyes.

It was an instant to figure out their entire troop composition.

‘Melee troops are mostly made up of bones and claws, and even noble-level troops can barely see ‘teeth’.’

According to the analysis based on the combat records of the Black Dragon Knights, the guard force of the royal class varies depending on the type.

When it comes to the brain, the ‘tongue’ and ‘skin’ are often the main focus, and when it comes to the heart, it’s the opposite.

“Then it must be the ‘heart’ demon. From my perspective, the demons of the brain are more advantageous than the demons of the heart.”

“Either way, wouldn’t it be a small thing in front of the leader?”

Una, the vice-captain who was accompanying Leonard, drew her sword while saying this. The Golden Dragon’s movement speed is truly incredible, and it will enter the combat range in just a few tens of seconds.

What he answered would be Saddam’s last.

Sensing that people around him were listening to their story, Leonard also raised his sword and spoke.

“Don’t be humble. If you’re in front of a golden dragon, say that your brain and your heart are all worthless! “Teach the moles who reign underground who the true Sword of Cardenas is!”

“““Yes, Captain!”””

“At the same time as breaking down the enemy lines, deploy the ‘Eighteen Arhats’ and concentrate on guarding against demigod-level entities! “The rest are not our enemies!”

Even before the voices died down, I could hear the whispers of demons who had just discovered the Golden Dragon Knights.

but.

“It exploded! “You idiots!”

When the sword crossed twice against the castle wall of which I couldn’t even guess what it was made of, the exploded immediately.

Its strength was comparable to that of the special golem led by the conquering army, but its height was too thin and soft to block Leonard, who was peeking into the Mythological Scenery. When the wall with the cross-shaped knife marks on it was struck once, it collapsed inward, leaving a path open.

When all the advantages of a water-based battle were lost and it became a pure power struggle, the Golden Dragon Knights were able to claim themselves as the strongest in the empire.

“Enough has come in, group 1! “Strategy development!”

“Two trillion! “We deploy too!”

The bone and claw demons that should be difficult to deal with are all shattered, and the golden knights who have infiltrated the middle of the enemy camp unfold their battles while looking for a location to exchange their power.

〈Eighteen Nahanjin〉.

In Wulin’s Taesan Bukdu and Shaolin Temple, the peerless Jin method, which has no comparison other than the 〈Hundred and Eight Na Han Jin〉, was perfectly reproduced.

‘Okay, with this, there’s no need to worry about the golden dragon.’

As leader, Leonard’s job is to find and defeat the demigod-level entity that does not know whether it is the brain or the heart.

If it was one-on-one, I wouldn’t have run away right away, but if I met a clever guy, I wouldn’t know. So Leonard worked up his spirits and tried to find a demigod-level demon.

It was that moment.

As if targeting that very moment, the suppressed presence of the demon that appeared behind Leonard’s back overflowed.

“What?”

It is neither instantaneous nor high-speed movement.

It appeared as if it went from 0 to 1. If the presence had not been revealed momentarily, Leonard would have been hit on the back in an almost defenseless state.

The blue dragon guard ran inside the body, carrying nerve signals at the speed of lightning, and developed a herbivorous movement one beat late.

Isanggyeonbingji (履霜堅氷至)

The defensive power that gives up counterattacking and concentrates on preserving the body’s integrity takes a blow that comes close to life.

‘??heavy!’

It was a mental martial art used as a Xuanwujiji that entered the realm of deification, and breaking through it wasn’t enough, so much so that my entire body was floating.

It was not a monster that relied on mass and speed, but an attack similar to that of a martial artist who had trained his strength to a high level. The wrist bones holding the ink sword tingle, and the shock that did not kill them all stirs up the insides of the intestines, causing nausea.

A method of intra-neutral water that is not only familiar but also feels intimate.

Quaaaaaaaaa!

In the end, Leonard, who had been pushed to the corner of the magic castle and pinned down, burst out through the dust cloud and fired a counterattack.

A sword technique that goes beyond the boundaries of heaven and earth and looks toward the unity of heaven and earth.

The sword play that needs to cut out the future is intercepted.

Sword and strike.

The sword and fist clashed brilliantly like a thunderbolt.

Whoops! Okay! Whoops! Damn it!

In a moment that could only be called a split second, Leonard and the demons, who had exchanged close to 100 sums, retreated without regard for who was first.

Leonard, who finally saw the enemy’s appearance, smiled fiercely and opened his mouth, as if he knew this would happen.

“Among the demons of the heart, Namedro is classified as a special risk group. The name must be… Was it [Belial]?”

Basically, heart demons have properties and powers that enhance their physical abilities. Leonard, who went to the southern seas, was unable to deal with it directly, but he understood most of it from reports that recorded his fight with the Named [Behemoth] that appeared in the Far East.

Unlike the ‘brain’, which specializes in superpowers, the ‘heart’ demon has a simple direction, but it has become more powerful because of it.

Martial arts is for the weak.

If you could leap like a tiger, slash like a bear, stomp like an elephant, and swim like a killer whale, there was no need for martial arts. I started martial arts and martial arts to try to make good use of my weak body.

The demons of the heart were completely at the opposite pole.

Monsters that are hard, fast, strong, tireless, and even have the vitality to regain their breath even after death.

‘But this monster is completely different from [Behemoth]. Not only is it not enough to compress the density of power to the limit, but he has also reached a high level as a martial artist by imitating human form and fighting techniques.’

If the [Behemoth] previously defeated by Cardenas was like a living, moving mountain, [Belial] was like compressing the mountain into the size of a fist and moving it efficiently.

On the outside, [Behemoth] may be flashier, but [Belial] was the scarier one.

“?■■, ■■■■■.”

Uncharacteristic of a demon known for its aggression and madness, [Belial] put his fists together and looked at Leonard in an unknown posture.

It was a sight that reminded me of the sword rites exchanged before a duel in this world, or the swords exchanged countless times in my past life.

Leonard laughed involuntarily at that sight.

“Ha, it’s a different species. “Is that why you were named?”

The shape of the muscles, bones, and tendons compressed to a size of about 2 meters is also shown by the monster, which is as dense as a human being. A humorous yet incomprehensible sense of sympathy surged.

Leonard, who had plunged his sword into the ground in response, responded by bringing one fist to his palm.

“This is Leonard, the leader of the Golden Dragon Knights of Cardenas.”

“■■■.”

“The meaning was clear, but I still don’t understand the name. “You’ll feel the same way, so don’t say anything.”

After completing the sword ceremony and returning to the flag-raising ceremony, he too was back in his fighting stance.

No more words were needed.

The swordsman, who had erased all emotions from his eyes, and the demon martial arts expert took a step at almost the same time.

Whoops!

Shock waves born from the sword and fist shook the entire place.

It was an open war.
