Sword Emperor Reincarnated as a Sword Master Chapter 298

Geomje reincarnated as a swordsmith (298)

“Your Majesty seems to be doing well.”

Wade smiled with an empty face after hearing about Lila’s current status from Leonard. Perhaps because she poured out all her strength in the fight against [Balor] and completed her role, she seemed relaxed, unlike when she was alive.

The head of the Red Dragon Knights, which had the highest frequency of missions and the highest casualty rate among the 7 Knights of Cardenas.

The man, who could not show his shabby side to others, was only able to become comfortable after his death.

―Do you meet William often?

“Well, that’s right. “He didn’t get to see that kid much while he was living as a knight commander, so he’s always grateful that he can enjoy this time together.”

―Still, didn’t you remain a proud father? William also makes efforts every day to live as a knight worthy of Sir Wade.

“Keuhum, don’t be too harsh just because he’s my son.”

Wade, who was like the epitome of cold-blooded ruthlessness, touched his beard and looked away with a happy face.

It was a change that anyone who had experience as the leader of the Red Dragon Knights might find difficult to believe. [Hades], who admired [Balor]’s subjugation experience, offered him the position of gatekeeper of Elysium, and Wade, who accepted the offer, had already reached minor godhood.

The karma of marking the end of a powerful foreign press has pushed up the level that had been stagnant at the extreme of antipathy.

―Wade, the god who symbolizes the fire of purification (Purgatorium). As time passes, a temple will be built to honor Lord Wade.

“It’s a temple… “I feel like I have received too much from the merits of my comrades.”

-You won’t find anyone anywhere in the Empire who would tell Lord Wade that he doesn’t deserve the position. Please step forward proudly as an example of a knight.

While comforting Leonard, he brought up someone else’s story.

―How do you feel about Cruella? I heard you’re so busy.

“Ah, she went to see King Myeong a little while ago.”

Wade answered.

“I’m not a wizard, so I don’t know, but it seems like he’s working well as a guide to the underworld. “I heard that the qualifications to reach rank 10 are just around the corner.”

-Oh, is that so? That’s a good thing.

Unlike warriors who could ascend to the Mythic Realm on their own, permission from a ‘higher being’ was required to enter the 10th plane.

It was easier to enter the 10th rank than to the Shinhwagyeong, which required accumulating an astronomical amount of karma, but it was impossible to reach it while the throne was empty. Since Leonard had filled the throne, if he or [Hades] gave permission, he could become the 10th rank by collecting the minimum amount of karma.

Although Cruella’s performance in the final battle was significant, she was somewhat lacking in the qualifications for the 10th rank, so she was serving as a guide.

It was then.

Ugh.

The birth of a fable occurred where a god was born beyond the horizon opposite Elysium.

“… “It’s Cruella.”

-I guess so.

Wade and Leonard found out what it was and laughed. As soon as I could share her story, she immediately rose to the top 10. Does that mean even tigers will come to me if I tell them?

Originally, I had planned to take a walk around Elysium, but in this case, I felt like I had to meet Cruella first.

So Leonard said a short goodbye and turned around.

Faaah!

Passing through Hades’ palace at a speed no different from spatial movement, passing the startled Cerberus, he reached the main hall.

[Hades] was not surprised by the sudden visit.

He must have known of Leonard’s existence from the moment he came to the underworld.

Cruella, who had just become a minor god, was different.

Without even having time to feel proud of the accomplishment of rising to the 10th rank, Cruella, who was caught behind, immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

“Hiyaaaaa! Ah, Les, it was Leonard… ! “I was surprised.”

In my head, I knew that the era of struggle was over, but my fighting sense, which had been trained for hundreds of years, was enough to spark a fight just by allowing that blind spot for a moment.

Leonard smiled bitterly at her reaction and opened his mouth.

―Congratulations, Cruella. What is the divinity you have been entrusted with?

“Uh, wait… ?”

Cruella closed her eyes for a moment, grasped the world law given to her, and answered clearly.

“Cruella, the god of funerals. “I guess that’s my new name.”

―Rather than symbolizing etiquette, it seems like a god who teaches us how to treat the dead. A position that supervises those who cross the border between life and death and wander outside the framework of providence.

“… After hearing what you said, I definitely think so. “Do you recognize everything because you are the owner of the throne?”

―It seems to be a power created by the combination of Shinjwa’s natural observation ability and the Dragon’s Eye, but I think it’s a good thing. Because it is better to know than not to know.

If a divinity does not exist, it cannot be understood, but if someone who embraces that divinity, like Cruella, appears, it can be understood in detail.

It seemed like the insight granted to the owner of the throne and the long eye he had before had a synergistic effect.

and.

-How are you, Hades?

-It looks like you’ve been doing well, God King.

[Hades], the king whom Leonard had personally appointed, walked down from the throne without looking down. This was because, although the years were deep, the hierarchical relationship between the two was very clear.

Above all, there was one decisive reason why [Hades]’s attitude became more polite.

-Thank you for bringing my wife back as promised. All the fragments that were scattered on the ground were gathered together and united. Even for you, it must have been quite a bit of work, so I would like to thank you for keeping my faith.

―There is no reason to follow a leader who does not know the weight of the covenant. It was what I said, so I just followed through.

―Hehe, Zeus’s ears will throbbing when he hears that.

[Zeus], ​​the god-king of Olympus, as well as [Odin], the god-king of Aesir, were gods renowned for being liars.

There were many times when he became enmity with powerful enemies over trivial matters, or was stabbed in the back by abandoning loyal people like devoted friends. He was also greatly involved in the tragic collapse of each god race in the War of Destruction.

If they had behaved like Leonard, they would not have perished in vain while being suspicious and antagonizing their allies.

‘If you think about it, it was difficult to bring Persephone.’

Like the seeds scattered throughout this world, most of the gods who died in the War of Destruction fell into remote areas with at least double-digit fragments and were reduced to nothing. When it blooms, it unfolds the Divine Translation and strives to restore its influence or divinity, and when it fails to bloom, it sucks in the surrounding spirit veins to gather the power necessary for blooming.

Among them, it was quite an arduous task for Leonard to accurately determine the location of just one person, [Persephone], and to recover and unite all the fragments.

‘But as long as we can recruit a deity like Hades whose credibility and abilities are clear and who is even suitable as an administrator.’

Leonard, who accepted information from the past while sitting on the throne, was able to make a statement under that name.

There are less than three gods in the entire mythological era whose humanity and abilities are more reliable than [Hades]. If we were to evaluate the power appropriate for being a manager of the afterlife, there was not a single person who surpassed [Hades].

Even in Olympus mythology, other than the kidnapping of [Persephone], there has been no accident, and it has also provided mortals pleading for mercy with an opportunity to release their restrictions. Most of them failed and were driven to the surface, meeting a miserable end.

―Is Elysium running well?

-hmm? Didn’t you go there first?

– That’s what I was thinking, but I felt like Cruella was fabled, so I just went to see Lord Wade.

As expected, [Hades] nodded and explained.

―Because the veterans are so capable, it is being completed faster than expected. If things continue like this, it will be able to govern itself for about 10 years and become a city where the dead in the afterlife can become a focal point. From then on, the workload will decrease considerably.

In the old days, compared to today, the population was much smaller, and there were double digits of deities residing in the underworld, so even if the dead were left alone on the plains, the management of the dead was not neglected.

However, the four of [Hades], [Persephone], Wade, and Cruella were not enough.

By building Elysium, we provide a system where the dead can find their own way and prepare for the next life. That was what [Hades] and Leonard discussed and agreed upon at length.

―[Ken Cruerhy]’s contribution is considerable.

―Kkkkkk, it’s exactly as you said.

[Hades] said, giggling at Leonard’s sarcasm.

-The power extracted from that guy exceeded expectations. The amount lost due to purifying the power of the outer dimension is considerable, but even including that, it is enough to accelerate the reconstruction of the underworld by several decades.

The immortality of the gods means that even if their spirit and body perish, the laws that make up their bodies remain. Its potential was endless as it swallowed dozens of gods who died in the War of Destruction and came to embody divinity and laws.

―God King, if only you had made a non-aggression pact with that guy on the spot.

-Something irreversible must have happened.

Leonard and [Hades] belatedly realized his intention.

What if Leonard had not chosen to win in the final battle?

At least a thousand years of peace could have been guaranteed, but if [Ken Kruahy], who has developed his full potential, continues to expand the territory of the Demon World, it becomes possible to attempt to seize the throne.

If he meets the qualification requirements as a god of this dimension rather than a being from an external dimension, [Ken Cruerhy] can also sit on the throne. Since it was not directly hostile, it was not a violation of the agreement. It is a guaranteed victory without having to go to all-out war.

―Did you set a trap behind your back, pretending to beg to save your life? As befits a great evil god, he is extremely insidious.

[Hades] said with a cruel smile that he would increase the extraction strength of Tartarus ten times.

Leonard, who normally would have stopped the outrage, did not say anything more and ignored [Ken Cruerhy’s] pain. It sends a chill down my spine to think that it was a choice that could have destroyed the world in one fell swoop.

“Hey, Leonard?”

Cruella, who was listening to the two people talking, intervened.

“Last time, while I was leading the ghosts, I met an Elyos, right? “Maybe it’s because of [Hades]’s blessings, but you’ve been groveling towards me and keep asking me where I can have an audience with you?”

[Hades] looked at Leonard while openly mocking those words.

-Huh, it looks obvious. Isn’t it? God King.

―Now that the threat from foreign gods has disappeared, there is no need to emigrate, and gods that can be served have begun to appear again, so there is no reason to take risks in another world.

The purpose was clear just by looking at the use of the expression ‘audience’.

It would be to cancel all migration plans and regain the right to live in this world as a higher species. If we can convince Leonard, the owner of the throne, we can stabilize the heavens and live like the old days.

However, from Leonard’s perspective, there was no reason to give benefits to those who did not contribute to the final battle and only benefited as a result.

-I guess I’ll have to look for it as soon as I get back to the ground.

They were not people with no room for compromise like foreign gods or demons, nor were they tainted by madness like spriggans, nor were their very existence threatening like Heoshin, so it was worth talking about.

Nevertheless, it does not change that they are a race that has opposed the empire, no different from demons, foreign gods, and spriggans.

Zehire created an airship, and Cardenas became accustomed to fighting against Elyos and created the Blue Dragon Knights.

How many people died trying to stop them?

―… If you want to come into my shadow, you will have to pay the blood debt first and then mention the conditions.

It was a declaration that would have felt gloomy from the Elyos’ point of view.
