Sword Emperor Reincarnated as a Sword Master Chapter 271

Geomje reincarnated as a swordsmith (271)

“There is nothing to be too sorry about. “Most of the operational goals have already been achieved.”

Wade gave Cruella comfort, not comfort.

“We succeeded in entering [Hell Gate] without any casualties, took out a number of Named-class monsters, secured a large amount of influence, and the strategic value of this base is beyond imagination. Even if the demons raise an army, the exchange cost will be enormous, and those who die here will not be able to be reborn as demons.”

“Aha, it means it’s no longer a meaningless war of attrition. Rather, if the exchange cost is appropriate, the benefits we can gain by inducing a war of attrition seem to be significant, right?”

“Yes. “Because we achieved such a great victory so easily, the number of people who forgot their original intention increased, but that wasn’t our goal.”

Calling themselves the Demon World Conqueror Army is nothing more than a smokescreen.

It is difficult to wipe out all the demons who have increased in number over thousands of years, and it is difficult to take control of the entire demon world even with the authority of [Hades].

-If I get all of my miraculous powers back, the story will be different.

[Hades], who was listening to their story, interjected in a grumpy tone and stroked the three heads of Cerberus, who had been created the size of a small dog, in turn. Although he looked cute on the outside, he was a demigod-level guardian of the divine realm with powers beyond what was seen in the divine realm.

Damian said, something that cannot be left out when talking about the old times.

“You mean Quinae, Vident, Cornucopia?”

-okay. The most famous of them all is Quinet, but that helmet doesn’t mean much since it only interferes with me. The spear that contains the authority of the King of Heaven and the horn that symbolizes ownership of the underworld are more effective.

Just as [Zeus], ​​who reigns as one of the three main gods of Olympus along with [Hades], has the lightning spear Astrape as his symbol, and [Poseidon] has the trident Triaina as his symbol.

The Vidente, a spear with a split end, was a sacred weapon that could be said to prove the authority of the Emperor.

Cornucopia, a horn that embodied ownership of the underground, could also be of great help in securing influence in the underworld. It is different from a helmet, which is all about hiding the wearer.

“Isn’t Quine the strongest in terms of combat ability?”

-Hmm, I can’t deny that part. Even [Zeus] couldn’t find me if I was wearing Quinae. It is absolute when used for surprise attacks or assassinations, and is very powerful even when used in direct confrontation.

“Can’t you see it even if you’re at the level of a god? “It’s definitely amazing.”

Leonard was also greatly impressed. If he could manifest silver art and stealth techniques that even the highest Jinshin level, which could not find, with a single helmet, it would definitely be something that could be called a miracle.

Most martial artists of the Jeongdo clan look down on hiding and stealth as minor talents or criticize them as cowardly tricks, but it is difficult to find martial arts that are more strategically useful.

So, killers are basically evaluated as being able to kill warriors who are one step ahead. If it’s second-class, it’s first-class, if it’s first-class, it’s the pinnacle, and if it’s at the pinnacle level, it’s the tip of the sword.

It is said that things are a little different from the Hwagyeong level, where the difference in rank increases.

“It just sounds like you’re invincible if you don’t have any flaws or weaknesses.”

-It cannot be said to be invincible. When [Zeus]’s Astrape is thrown once, it is critical to the target, and when deployed widely, it can cause a lightning storm the size of a continent.

On the contrary, [Hades], who had confidently said that everyone but [Zeus] would be worthy of joining, became annoyed again.

-Well, it’s all a story from the past. You have no reason to save or support another deity other than me, and it is unlikely that Vident or Cornucopia will remain intact.

“If I find any of them, I’ll bring them to you right away.”

-I’m waiting without any expectations.

It was then.

“?wait for a sec.”

As soon as the conversation between gods and humans came to an end, Cruella lowered her eyes, then changed to a serious expression and made a hand sign that corresponded to the frame of a magic formula.

It seemed that the undead who had sent the reconnaissance mission had learned of a situation that needed to be communicated immediately.

It was immediately after that that optical spatial magic was unleashed, conveying a scene thousands of kilometers away with just the beast.

Faaah!

The screen, which was large enough for everyone gathered in the conference room to see, appeared as clearly as a still life painting, blinked a few times before stabilizing.

Anyone who looked into the surface could not help but harden their countenances.

The forces of the end.

The demon army, which could only be expressed in that way, was marching in an orderly manner, suppressing its instincts and impulses. If an ordinary person were to see that scene, they would surely lose their sanity and scream that the end of the world had come.

“At least 300,000… No, it may be more than 500,000, including those who are flying.”

“There are only a few slave-level demons mobilized to fill the population, and they are at least commoner-level demons. Even the nobles are quite mixed up.”

“They are not people who can be wiped out at once with wide-area magic. “It is unclear whether or not you can kill it even if you use it more than three times, or five times if you use your subordinates as a shield.”

However, the demigods analyzed the despair without heeding it.

“What about moving the camp set up around [Hell Gate]? Well, if you get caught properly, it wouldn’t be difficult to kill someone for 100,000 or 200,000.”

“It is highly likely that it will turn into an all-out war. We can’t afford to leave troops around the door. “It is better to leave defense to the golems.”

“There is no need for us to go ahead and intercept them first. From the moment you step into this new area, you will have a continuous advantage. “Because they don’t know how to use the influence they have.”

No matter how much the demons increased in number and quality, it was nothing compared to what the Samgong family had prepared so far. Even if the number exceeds 1 million comes, you can attack them head-on. Therefore, what the Demon World Conquest Army truly had to be wary of was the existence of an asymmetrical force that could worsen the situation at any time.

These are the core entities among the fragments of [Chromedub] that sent chills down the spine of even Leonard, who was advancing towards the Mythic World.

A royal level demon.

Monsters that not only have high abilities but also survive without dying as they gain combat experience and time.

“… found.”

The eyes of the undead and skeleton wyverns that Cruella personally controlled and used as scouts finally found the ‘things’.

Named.

It was the appearance of a powerful enemy that the Samgong family had no choice but to classify separately while recording its name and appearance, and that even the leader-level and great mage-level forces could not defeat or, conversely, were defeated.

“You’re alive, [Asmodeus].”

“There is also [Baphomet].”

“Check out [Sabnak], famous for its corpse citadel.”

Those who remained in the records but whose existence or survival were not confirmed were gathered in droves.

[Asmodeus], ​​a ‘brain’ demon who wields a large sword created with telekinesis. A monster that uses a slash that cuts through space and time.

[Baphomet], a ‘heart’ demon armed with a large ax of unknown material. A monster with the head and horns of a goat, the muscular upper body of a human, and the lower body of a mountain goat. Technically, nothing unusual was reported, but there was a record of a mountain being split into pieces with a single strike of an axe.

[Sabnak], a ‘brain’ demon that wields supernatural powers similar to necromancy. He was a man who built a castle out of the corpses of his enemies and enemies alike.

“oh.”

It was that moment.

After confirming the faces of the named demons, it was time for the demigods to calm down their fighting spirit and excitement.

Something flew towards the screen Cruella created.

Take a look.

It was a pea-sized projectile, but its power could not be ignored.

Cruella’s magic and the ‘eyes’ that were watching the demon army are shattered along with the wyvern’s skull that has become a skeleton.

Not only did they notice the spying, but they also destroyed the undead that were looking down at the ground from several kilometers in the air. Even though there was no way Cruella would have neglected her concealment and blocking.

“Oh… ! [Ba?alZebuwb], you filthy fly!”

As if she knew the identity of the guy, Cruella got nervous as she wiped away the nosebleed caused by the recoil of the magic destruction.

Simon Magus was also a name that made both eyebrows twitch.

“[Beelzebub], are you sure it’s him?”

“It’s clear. “He is probably the only demon with bad taste who implants pieces of brains into things like flies and uses them as familiars.”

“It’s going to be a hassle. “For someone who stole and learned magic from humanity to intervene, I’m sure they’ll read quite a few moves.”

Among the named, [Beelzebub] was a very special individual.

Like [Belial] whom Leonard defeated earlier, he succeeded in stealing and acquiring magical knowledge using his supernatural powers. The owner of the fly colony that became a familiar by implanting a part of my brain, a demon that prioritizes hunting wizards and eating their brains and knowledge.

According to the memories passed down by Simon Magus, it is a monster that has lived for nearly a thousand years, so it is difficult for any wizard other than him to deal with it. Simon was the only wizard who could bury the greedy maw of knowledge.

“There are four named ones to watch out for, and if you count all the unidentified ones, there are over ten. “It must be difficult.”

“In the worst case scenario, inside the new station, [Hades] can respond, so the power gap is not as wide as you might think.”

“The problem is that there is a stalemate at that border, and time is wasted.”

The demons were never stupid, nor were they fools.

I don’t know about slave-level people who operate solely on instinct, but from commoner level and above, their intelligence is often higher than that of humans. It is easy to read the principles of action because it is strictly biased toward maliciousness, and the depth of its cunning is not comparable to that of the villain Nabulaeng.

As soon as they realized the danger of the new area and the intentions of the Demon World Conquest Army, they could have stopped what was approaching and started a slow confrontation.

“Even though we were as careful as possible following Director Leonard’s instructions, several royal-level demons came out during the base battle. If a giant slalom were to take place outside the new station, it would be like saying that a double-digit number of demigod-level entities would immediately join in!”

“But that doesn’t mean we can just wait quietly. “They are currently responding defensively to our offensive, but if they judge that their forces are securely tied down, they may soon dispatch a special force to the remaining eight Hell Gates.”

“Failure means defeat.”

It would be best if we could completely annihilate the demon army, but even if we couldn’t do that, if we inflicted maximum damage and preserved our strength, the result would be no different from victory.

‘But if the demons also realize that, the story will be different.’

The way to destroy that winning formula is not to fight.

If it were not for the battle inside the new area, the environmental conditions for the Demon World Conquest Army would become greatly unfavorable, and the human casualties that could have been suppressed at around 10 or 20 would increase to almost 60 or 70.

From the perspective of having to gather as much strength as possible until a foreign invasion, it was a foolish decision to only focus on victory in the future.

however.

“… “As long as we can get them inside the new station, is that okay?”

“oh?”

“Is there a way?”

Leonard, who had garnered people’s attention, said that it might be possible and revealed all the knowledge he had left in him.

The knight commanders looked at each other with an expression of not knowing what was going on, but the wizards’ reactions were different.

Simon, who was babbling in unintelligible words, answered positively.

“I think it’s possible. “I’ll give it a try.”
