Sword Emperor Reincarnated as a Sword Master Chapter 279

Geomje reincarnated as a swordsmith (279)

Golem.

In modern magic, it is treated as a concept of a ‘doll made of inorganic material’, but in ancient magic, the golem was the beginning of ‘artificial life’. Magic originates from the story that gods created humans by kneading clay.

In the past, Simon Magus decided that the golem could be replaced with [Adam Kadmon], and through numerous trials and errors, he succeeded in creating an artificial life form at the level of a demigod.

The cost spent on making [Einsof] was enough to create and then destroy a nation several times, and it contained materials that could never be obtained again, and regardless of the completeness of the magic formula, it had to pass through a wall of probability. did. A once-in-a-lifetime masterpiece but also a failure, a demi-god of artificial life who could not become [Adam Kadmon].

“This is not something I would say as someone who has run Magic Tower, but I would like to hear why they left this organization alone despite knowing its inefficiency.”

“hmm? Ah, the Mysterious Society’s methods are superior, so why did you keep the inferior one alive?”

“Yes.”

Simon smiled and answered Einsof’s question.

“It’s simple. Human groups are diverse, so no matter how good a path is, if only one branch is left, the scope for development becomes narrow. There are times when locking yourself in a room alone yields better results than sharing, teaching, and learning with each other. “If you become a colony, you often lose sight of the possibility of seeing it as an object.”

“Can knowledge based on individual stubbornness or independence be superior to the results derived from large-scale collective intelligence?”

“It’s not about evaluating superiority or inferiority.”

To Simon Magus, Einsof was no different from his own child, so he explained it to him without any sign of annoyance.

Starting with why the Mystic Association and the Magic Tower were separated and maintained, we come to the reason why the method of seeking knowledge should not be evaluated solely on efficiency.

Although their magical abilities were the same at the 9th level, there was a large gap in the knowledge of Einsof and Simon.

“Generally, it is said that large doubles as small, but that is not the case in all cases. This is especially true in the case of magic formulas.”

To compare it to another field, there was something that seemed similar to the relationship between iron and bronze.

In the era before steelmaking technology was developed, bronze was considered a better material than iron. Although special metals that require too much effort to discover, mine, and process are exceptional, the existence of steel was not discovered that long ago.

At that time, bronze swords were harder than iron swords, resistant to corrosion, and had better performance due to the accumulated amount of manufacturing technology. However, if we had only looked at bronze and ignored the potential of iron, the development of metallurgy and civilization would have been delayed by several decades to a hundred years or more.

Current excellence does not guarantee future excellence, and it cannot be guaranteed that what is mainstream today will be mainstream in the future.

Only then did Einsov also twitch the joints of his cervical spine.

“indeed. “The idea is to differentiate possibilities by lowering efficiency a bit and make up for those blind spots.”

“… Well, if you accept it that way, there won’t be any problem.”

Simon was a little offended by the dull response.

He looked around Einsof’s workshop, which was so bleak and so desolate, that he immediately turned his eyes out the window.

“The Magic Tower has been performing its role for a long time. “Now is the time to protect humanity’s potential together with the Mystical Society in order to survive in the present, not the future.”

“The potential of humanity… is it. “It is a very strange feeling to protect the Creator as a creature.”

However, Einsov spoke coldly.

“According to the information shared by the Master, the likelihood that humanity will be able to preserve its species from foreign invasion is close to zero. Although the foreign gods whose existence is based in an external dimension may not know, [Chromedub] will become complete when it returns to this world. “As Hades is imperfect, it would be best to buy some time and then be eaten.”

“Overthrowing the apocalypse has always been a miracle. “If you do some calculations and see the odds, it’s too shabby to call it the end.”

“Isn’t it also ridiculous for a wizard to hope for a miracle? “There are no miracles in the formula that makes up this world.”

“It’s quite the opposite. It is a miracle because there is no ceremony. A unique formula that wizards cannot calculate. Proof that our fate does not just go according to the script. “It’s romantic, isn’t it?”

Simon Magus knew.

A person who has risen to the 10th rank and into the realm of God more than anyone else in this world.

Although he cannot realize or explain dimensional movement, he possesses the perception ability to know its existence. Even before Leonard could unravel all of this incredibly foreign knowledge, he knew that his soul had come from a different world than the Outer Dimension.

‘If there is something that can overcome the cause and effect of the end, you certainly have that possibility.’

If we don’t call this a miracle, what else is a miracle?

The possibility of a future that had been cut off by the war of destruction now depended on the steps of a warrior from another world.

* * *

The Demon World Conquest Army that returned to the Cardenas family had all returned to their daily lives. The victory we brought this time was definitely a big victory, but we couldn’t waste time with the final battle still to come.

A time for reorganization, using the combat experience gained from battles with demons to refine the sword and aura, and further raise the bar.

Leonard was also training diligently.

“… They talked about conquering the world and all, but it was no different from having already conquered it. “Did they get rid of influential people from each country in 15 days and conscript all those with master level or higher skills?”

The news I received as a knight commander was something that could only be described as a complete disaster. Although they already occupied more than half of the continent, they had never even imagined one country unifying the entire world.

The comparison itself with the Emperor of the Central Plains, who boasted about being the Son of Heaven, was an absurd example. This was especially true because Leonard knew well what it means to be ‘a person loved by the world’.

and.

―Arcadia was able to conquer the world even when it was founded. I just didn’t do it. Even though she is ‘one loved by the world,’ if her scope expands too rapidly, her influence will be greatly reduced. The power consumed in the process of wiping out all the dragons was enormous.

Cardenas, the progenitor who still resided in Leonard’s body, explained while looking back on old memories.

―Today’s Arcadia can turn the entire country’s poor harvest into a good harvest even with a blessing of lower quality than Ragna, but if the land had been as large as it is now, back then, it would have barely escaped starvation.

“Just because you’re loved by the world doesn’t mean you can do anything. Moreover, the power required to prepare for rebellion or foreign invasion would have increased several times.”

―Yes, if the territory is twice as large, blessings are consumed more than four times, making it less efficient. At that point, the Samgongs didn’t have many people, let alone a family. I guess trying to maintain a stable state is different from stabilizing an unstable state.

Cardenas was in charge of military force on the front line, and Wickline was in charge of magic in the back row. Jehaire has supported the two families and the empire outside of the battlefield.

It was some time after the founding emperor’s death that the three families began to cooperate in earnest to support Arcadia.

It was around that time that Arcadia’s expansion began.

Enough to call itself an empire on the scale of a kingdom, enough to swallow up the entire northern continent on the scale of an empire, and not even enough in the north, enough to turn more than half of the central region into an imperial territory. It is the current Arcadia that has expanded its power and influence with each generation.

‘The reason it occupied about 60% of the continent and did not expand further was probably because this was the right size. It seems that outsiders who don’t know anything are still afraid because they don’t know the reason.’

As Leonard thought so, he concentrated on the thoughts that extended out from his body in four directions.

The line of thought extending north, south, east and west was directly connected to the four swords. It was a similar scene to the fish sword, a technology that remotely controls a sword using upper-end warfare.

however.

“Huh, it hasn’t even been one day yet… .”

Leonard’s whole body was already damp with cold sweat.

The true nature of the training is revealed from the divine energy that lingers around the sword floating in the air.

Just as it was used to deify the Blue Dragon Keeper and the White Tiger Keeper, the divine beast summoned from the image is transformed into the sword. No matter how well-made the sword is, it won’t be able to last long if the Shinsu is possessed, but this time, Leonard, who has to maintain the four Shinsu, was at risk.

‘I can’t believe the difference between two and four was this much… .’

Mathematically, the burden had doubled, but in reality, the level he felt was closer to eight times that.

Summoning just one or three was impossible because the Taegeuk that maintained its balance would collapse. It was necessary to be able to summon at least two, or summon and control four at the same time.

Even in the realm of antipathy, it was something that went far beyond its limits.

“Whoosh!”

Even if you hit it with a sword, the body is barely scratched and blood is pouring out. Skin cracks, muscles tear, and bones crack. This was because the shaking of the image directly led to the cracking of the body.

One body of spirit and spirit.

With the awakening of Dragonheart, Leonard’s physical strength increased further, and he was able to endure it because he was at the highest level among anti-nerves. Because the body was strong, it was able to withstand more of the shock from the images, but only to a certain extent.

-stop! Any more than this and you will definitely die!

As soon as the progenitor warned, the four types of divine energy returned from the sword into the body, and the entire sword that contained the Four Gods of Death crumbled and settled like dust. Every single one of them was at a level where it could be said to be a master sword, but it could not last even a few minutes.

The Four Directions God.

According to the standards of the old times, each one of them should be classified as a great being, and when put together, they are multiple gods who can even support a single myth like the three main gods of Olympus. Because it symbolizes direction and seasons, it becomes a conceptual law that explains the structure and circulation of all things. It was not something that could be endured as a mere material vessel.

“I still can’t figure out the yellow dragon.”

Above all, Leonard’s urgent task was to build a yellow dragon that could integrate it.

So I sent out all the Death Gods and arranged them in each direction, but there was no result. It seemed that occupying the center in terms of direction did not mean that a yellow dragon would be born.

-I’m a little upset that I can’t help you directly. If even the outline of the main body had not been forgotten… !

The founder, Cárdenas, complained about his poor situation in a voice full of regret.

Even though he is only a remnant of his soul, he will never regret his journey with Ragna, but would he have thought that the past, cursed with the karma of fratricide, would hold back descendants in this way?

It was Leonard who stopped Cardenas from blaming himself.

“Didn’t you protect the world even with only a part of your soul left? “I cannot thank you for your dedication, but to hope for more than this is shameful both as a descendant and as a military person.”

So, Leonard took out the four swords again and began to circulate the internal energy.

I planned to keep pushing myself until I found a clue regarding the deification of the Yellow Dragon Keeper.

“Please watch. It won’t disappoint. “Me and everyone else in this family.”

―… Yes, it would be the role of the ancestors to trust and watch over you.

Cardenas nodded, smiling a somewhat lonely smile as if he was proud of that attitude.

3 years.

The day was approaching when she would complete her role.
