Sword Emperor Reincarnated as a Sword Master Chapter 27

Geomje reincarnated as a swordsmith (27)

‘It’s a straight method, so it’s not a bad choice.’

Leonard assessed it that way.

Even when mana is not used, there is a large difference in physical capabilities between the Yeoncheogyeong and the External Power Mirror.

As he surpassed the 10th level of the soft body border, his physique itself became similar, but the gap of one major border was similar to or larger than that of jumping over five or six small border.

If it were a head-to-head match, Hayden would have the advantage.

Kaang!

Hayden, who came within two steps of the sword, struck it down, and Leonard, who easily let it go, kicked him in the stomach.

A lower round kick aimed at the foot on which the center of gravity is placed.

Hayden, who had been hit several times and rolled on the ground, blocked it with his knees, not his knees. Since both were wearing gaiters, a short, dull crash sound rang out.

“Haaaab!”

Hayden’s sword attack seemed to have regained some energy after successfully defending himself and went on the offensive.

I know it doesn’t work on Leonard, but he dazzles his gaze by moving his sword around.

Like a haze in which the air around the flame is shimmering.

Like a snake’s head hiding its poisonous teeth.

Continuous stabbing thrusts.

“Senior Hayden, you need to use your feet more than your arms when stabbing.”

But the tip of the knife never reached Leonard.

He gave brief advice as he avoided all the thrusts by moving half a step, or less.

This is true even if you just look at the Jeomchang school’s four-day sword method.

Rather than thrusting their swords in place, they lunge by explosively kicking their back feet at the same time as they thrust. The range of a sword is not determined solely by arm length. The gap that could be narrowed by walking was definitely included in the range.

Additionally, thrusting with a sword rather than a spear basically requires one hand, so if you rely solely on physical strength, both strength and speed are greatly reduced.

“okay? If so, like this!”

Hayden took his advice straight away, adding strength and variation to his monotonous footwork.

It couldn’t be said to be a proper walking technique, but it was a heaven and earth difference from movements where both forward and backward movements were exposed. Indeed, it can be said with confidence that he is one of the most talented among Cardenas’ descendants.

Pee it!

He stops his body with his knees, then bounces with his ankles and quickly accelerates again from a stop.

The abuse is enough to make all the joints feel numb, even if it is unmanned.

A few strands of Leonard’s hair broke off after being brushed by the ignorant brush and were blown around in the wind. If he had not escaped, there would have been a knife wound between his eyes, but no one here was concerned about that.

“You still can’t reach it like this!”

“Is there any way to catch up with just one word?”

Leonard inwardly praised the movement and responded to Hayden’s complaint in a tone-deaf tone.

His forearm muscles swelled after dodging all of the consecutive thrusts.

Now that I had taught him how to reinforce the movements of an inexperienced sword, it was now time to teach him about the dangers of that sword.

Kang—!

Hayden’s entire body was shaken after being hit by the sword blade.

The force that moves quickly in a straight line becomes extremely vulnerable to interference from that side. The center of gravity itself was spread out, and it was a weak point that was difficult to find in long-range spear techniques.

The moment his upper body opened wide to catch the sword that was about to fly away, Leonard’s blade flew towards his neck.

“Ugh!”

Hayden reflexively thrust his arm into the sword’s path.

Instead of giving up one arm, you protect your neck.

As expected from a skill well-trained in actual combat, the decision to take the last resort was very quick.

and.

Paang!

Leonard’s sword, which seemed as if it would cut off his arm, bounced off the protective shield formed on Hayden’s right arm.

It was the ability to symbolize external power, self-defense energy.

Even though it was written unconsciously, the intensity was quite high.

‘Well, even if I hadn’t used self-defense, I would have stopped.’

Leonard looked at the self-defense device wrapped around Hayden’s arm with new eyes.

Even though it was translucent like a haze, its color was reddish, meaning Hayden had mainly trained with fire attribute mana core.

There is also some heat mixed in with the anti-reflection power flowing into the sword.

“Hayden, it’s your fault!”

“You bastard! “Leonard can’t stop that!”

Ian and Gail, who were watching the two people sparring on the edge of the vacant lot, raised their jeers.

They are urging people to get out of the way as quickly as possible, even for one second.

“Tch, I used it without realizing it. “Are your hands okay?”

“I’m fine.”

Leonard nodded, showing his palm.

The external force mirror, a self-defense device that can be used from the peak expert, goes beyond just protecting the body and also injures the target of contact.

Hayden’s level is still only 2nd dan, and I didn’t write it with any intention, so I only felt the heat. If he recklessly collides with a proper self-defense device, he will suffer serious internal injuries or die on the spot.

‘The external force mirror is, of course, a higher level compatible with the peak expert. If you want to use self-defense to that degree, you should be intermediate, not beginner.’

Because the entire body’s veins are open, the difficulty of operating energy is greatly reduced.

At the beginning level of climax, the limit would have been to overdo it and create a self-defense device that covered the entire body, or to concentrate energy to make the wound shallower.

“good! “Now it’s my turn!”

As soon as Hayden stepped away, Gail jumped up.

“Good luck, Leonard!”

Instead of answering, Leonard raised his sword.

Just like before, the chilly wind grips Gale’s body tightly, squeezing out cold sweat from her pores.

But Gail smiled as viciously as Hayden.

Unless you ascended to the Harmonious Sutra and separated your mind, your mind would follow your body.

Even if you are not sad, if you cry, you will become sad, and even if you are not happy, if you smile, you will become happy.

The way to fight fear was to laugh.

bang!

Gale, who was as cold as breaking the ground, lunged forward.

Looking at the bouncing dirt pile behind him, Leonard observed Gale still moving like a wild boar.

Although it seems completely inconsistent, the underlying system for both Hayden and Gale was the same.

‘I was mistaken. Not all swordsmanship in this world was intangible, only Cardenas’ swordsmanship was insane.’

Leonard was mesmerized for several days after learning about the systematic structure of martial arts taught in this family while sparring with the trio.

It had to be that way.

Who could have imagined that there would be a martial artist who goes against the rules of Manryu and Gwijong (萬流歸宗)!

‘They say that if you train to the limit in one thing, you can deal with everything else, but usually you die or give up before that.’

If you lacked anything other than talent, effort, or luck, you couldn’t reach the top. At least at the transcendental stage, most people have to overcome the wall of the flower world to enter the Manryu return sect.

However, if you trained in that way in this world, there was a high possibility that you would die without being able to overcome the external force realm, let alone the transcendental peak.

Was it because of that?

The founder of Cárdenas came up with the solution.

It was an unconventional and absolute solution that made even Geomje Yeon Moo-hyuk question his sanity.

‘If you teach 10,000 things and integrate them into one, the poor and the common will not be able to use it even if they learn it for the rest of their lives.’

Cardenas’ martial arts system was a method of distinguishing the enemy’s form from the basic stage and then teaching detailed techniques and tips to suit each individual practitioner.

Person-to-person sword type.

Big beast sword type (對野獸劍形).

Great avian sword type.

Great repechage sword type (對爬蟲劍形).

Besides that, becoming familiar with the posture, attack, and defense methods for many shapes was only the introductory step.

‘Even after understanding the shape, it’s like explaining whether the enemy is big or small, and whether its movements and abilities can be attacked with the martial arts that you have trained. It takes even geniuses at least 10 years to learn everything.’

Regardless of skill level, it took 10 years to learn everything.

However, in order to shorten the training period, Cardenas was training children with practical experience from an early age.

The privilege of a family where all blood relatives were born gifted or better!

‘If a typical family or sect were to nurture its successors in this way, it would fail without even surviving a single generation.’

It is faster to overcome the danger of death once in real combat than to train for 100 days in the training hall. There are no people who don’t know that, but there are reasons for not doing so.

Dunjae dies because he cannot overcome that crisis.

Beomjae’s limit is to survive by struggling somehow.

However, once you become a gifted student, you begin to embody martial arts that were only swimming in your head at a rapid pace.

“Ugh!”

Even though he was lost in other thoughts, Leonard’s sword was sharp.

In response to Gale’s violent and rough sword strikes, the offense and defense are overturned as he stabs several vital points revealed in the flow.

If Hayden enjoyed using pleasure, Gale’s sword is heavy.

As Geomsae, which was supposed to crush the enemy like a landslide, retreated, gaps that could not be protected were revealed throughout the body. Gale realized it too, but it was already a few beats too late to make a move.

“… lost.”

“Thank you for your effort.”

Looking at the sword play that stopped in front of her throat, Gale swallowed dry saliva to check whether her throat was still intact.

Leonard said as he lowered his sword.

“Don’t stick to just one type of sword when dealing with humans. It’s good that you followed that advice, but the difference in proficiency between sword types is too severe. And why are you using the bear-killing technique on me? “There is nothing in my movements that resembles that of a bear.”

Gale responded to those words with an embarrassed face.

“Okay, I thought I might be able to catch you off guard.”

“It is true that psychological warfare does not always make the best move, but it also does not mean that it intentionally makes the worst move.”

“I’ll keep that in mind… .”

As Gail, who was criticized for performing a few tricks, crumbled, Ian, whose turn was last, stood in front of Leonard.

It was the beginning of the third sparring.

* * *

“I was thankful today too. “I’ll come back in three days!”

“I get along well!”

“If you need anything, you can come by anytime!”

After finishing the sparring session, which had become a daily routine, the trio of 4-year apprentice knights left with a few words of greeting.

Let alone winning, he was beaten without being able to land a single attack, but thanks to his skills improving day by day, he had a smile on his face.

Only Leonard, who had unintentionally become a swordsman, sighed.

‘There are times when it’s fun, but it’s also annoying. I’m more used to walking around alone.’

As the trio leaves, the gaze that had been steadily looking around Leonard’s house moves away.

A middle-level knight whose identity I don’t even know must have diverted my attention.

‘As a result, it seems like it has become a smokescreen covering my tracks.’

Complete indifference was also not good.

A guy who is always invisible is suspicious in itself.

In that sense, sparring with the trio was instilling awareness of the existence of Leonard. I felt like I was a child who trained sincerely and fit in well with my seniors because they looked good to me.

“It was Hayden yesterday… “Should I use Ian today?”

Leonard’s face, using reverse magic, changed into the same form as Ian’s seen a moment ago. As he continued to use it on a daily basis, his proficiency increased, and now he could not tell the difference even before his eyes.

And not only the face but also the clothes change.

The night clothes I made by hand were made by sewing together the skins of monsters caught inside the island and the armor I asked for from my seniors.

Dark-colored clothing is used as a protective color on the island after sunset. Although you may not be aware of monsters that sense through smell or hearing, you can avoid the eyes of instructors who are watching from high and far away.

‘I heard that Geomje Yeon Moo-hyeok is secretly working without anyone knowing. If old Shintu sees it, he will laugh and then turn around.’

Leonard felt a bitter smile spreading across his lips.

―They say that if you learn it, you can use it all? Learn my stealth skills, you bastard!

Yeon Moo-hyeok was wrong when he said that there would be nothing to do but secretly practice.

Today too, Leonard, who has benefited from his stealth skills, disappears into the shadows out of everyone’s sight.

The area I am going to after a long time is .

In the outskirts, the risk level is equivalent to two skulls, but if you enter the deep area, the risk level rises to three skulls, making it an area to avoid.

It was also the interior of the island he first visited three months ago.

“I guess I’ll have to take some of the herbs they’ve grown.”

Before I knew it, Leonard had adapted well to this island.
