Sword Emperor Reincarnated as a Sword Master Chapter 38

Geomje reincarnated as a swordsmith (38)

dump.

The shadow knight who answered Leonard’s words straight away, a man whose name was not revealed, collapsed to the ground.

It was a side effect of white blood opening.

Sangsangjeon, which is a door that symbolizes the wall of the flower world and can be called the entrance to the realm of imagination, is forcibly opened and the heart inside is exposed in a defenseless state, putting one in an idiot-like state.

It was a technique used when even short-circuited information was needed, as it was certain that the subject would die after using it just once.

‘The Shadow Knights of Cruzis, huh?’

It was an unfamiliar name from beginning to end.

I remember hearing about it a few times in continental history class, but the details didn’t exist. He didn’t know whether he had passed it on himself or whether the Cardenas family had not taught him.

In the end, it was a good thing that we found out the identity and affiliation of this uninvited guest, as well as the reason for coming to Galapagos.

‘Thanks to Galapagos’ remote location, we were able to reduce the number of troops stationed there, which actually became the reason we were targeted.’

Even in the Arcadian Empire, which occupies more than half of the world, this island was far away, making it an area closer geographically to other countries than to the empire.

Nevertheless, the reason that the garrison force was only one battalion of the Dragon Knights was because of the ocean currents that made it impossible to even approach the island and the ecosystem of course horses that existed inside the island.

Occupying the Galapagos Islands itself is difficult, and even if occupied, there are few forces that can continue to profit from it.

So there was no reason to worry about invasion by outsiders.

‘… No one could have imagined that the purpose was to kidnap Cardenas’ children.’

Anyone who knew even a little bit about the current situation on the continent could not have known that the very idea of ​​confronting Arcadia was vain.

Among them, carrying out direct hostile acts against the Cardenas family, the strongest armed group, was something that seemed like the fit of a madman who wanted to die.

‘An accidental crime committed by the Shadow Knights, who have been brainwashed since childhood and distorted by loyalty… It is unlikely. The fact that even the Transcendence and Sword Master participated in this operation means that their superiors were involved.’

The Cardenas family was a powerhouse in the Transcendental World that existed in double digits, but from what Leonard learned in continental history class, he heard that they were difficult to find outside the empire.

Each and every one of them was a high-ranking nobleman of earl rank or higher, and they were powerful figures who could be considered the leaders of the country.

Therefore, it cannot be glossed over as an ‘arbitrary action’.

‘It got annoying.’

If Leonard had been an ordinary knight, he would have reported this situation to Bradley.

However, how should I announce that I killed a shadow knight as an apprentice knight and successfully completed the interrogation?

Reporting and hiding it were also big problems.

If only this one had entered the island, there were thirty knights of the 8th level or higher in the Outer Power Sutra, including one with the Transcendental Sutra.

‘If it is buried like this, not only the Yuryong Knights but also the apprentice knights will suffer great damage. Even though the depth of martial arts is shallow for an 8th level Outer Force Mirror, considering this dark sword and magic items—.’

Dangerous.

It was a sword technique Leonard was very familiar with, and he had experienced it all before, so he defeated it easily. The mana practice of the 8th level of the External Power Sutra and the human-only flesh sword are more powerful than expected.

If the Apprentice Knights and the Yuryong Knights, who lack experience in interpersonal combat, collide with them, dozens of them will die regardless of victory or defeat.

There are many things that bother me about leaving things alone, and there are many things that bother me about actively intervening.

“hmm.”

Leonard’s eyes, lost in thought for a moment, looked back at the magic items lined up next to the Shadow Knight’s body.

The information obtained through interrogation was not limited to his affiliation and purpose. Leonard himself obtained quite a bit of information about ‘artifacts’, magical items that he could be said to be unfamiliar with.

The same was true for the dark sword, a sword whose length and shape changed.

-Synchronizes with the user’s blood and reorganizes its length and shape in response to the user’s will. There is a disadvantage that the conductivity of the auror is slightly reduced. Once a user has been selected, he or she cannot be changed again.

After summarizing the details, Leonard muttered briefly.

“If you use it for a long time, you will fall into the evil way. “I guess that’s why this idiot’s sword was so flimsy.”

It’s a simple feature, but it’s very powerful.

What if the user of this sword was Ungeom, one of the Ten Masters of Woonae in his past life, and Yeo Unhak, the Jongnam First Sword?

If the Yuun Sword Technique, which can be said to be the pinnacle of change, is combined with a sword that can freely change its shape, it would have been difficult for the sword emperor Yeon Moo-hyeok to find a way to break through.

However, if that power is wielded rather than wielded, it becomes a wall that blocks the prosecutor’s own growth.

All you have to do is increase the length of the sword, so you don’t feel the need to narrow the distance. All you have to do is change the shape of the sword, so you don’t feel the need to study variation, which makes the swordsmanship itself simpler.

Even though he is an 8th dan external power fighter, his swordsmanship remains at a first-class level.

This was the biggest drawback of dark sword users.

“Armor with a magic circle for shock protection, a beacon that reacts to my party at close range, a ring and belt that can use magic as a starter, and how many magic scrolls do I have?”

Leonard, who was looking at the remaining items, put aside the useless dark sword and stretched out his hand.

The armor was also in tatters from the battle with him, so there seemed to be little room for recycling. He had received the Five Element Sword Technique several times, and even his Xingyi Quan had been properly penetrated, so the fact that he was not torn to pieces on the spot was amazing.

So what he picked up were a ring and a belt.

‘A ring with acceleration magic (Haste) and a belt with augmentation magic (Strength).’

Leonard, equipped with two artifacts, muttered.

“[Haste], [Strength].”

At the same time, light emanates from the two artifacts.

Pakaang!

The part of the jewel that contained the magic circle shattered.

“-her?”

Leonard was dumbfounded by the inexplicable situation, but soon realized the reason and had to smile helplessly.

The power organ that was replacing his heart was the problem.

.

Even at this moment, the Five Elements are rapidly circulating, an ability that is unknown even to the Sword Emperor. The force field emitted from the five-colored orb not only rejected the influence of the artifact, it also destroyed the epicenter.

‘Is it anti-magic power or anti-magic power? If the magic I used is also repelled, it would be even more so if the magic was used by someone else.’

It wasn’t all bad.

I had no intention of becoming a wizard anyway, nor did I have any intention of relying on this artifact. Still, it was a bit disappointing that he destroyed the newspaper before even using it. I could have changed it to a spirit stone.

“[Fireball].”

Fortunately, I was able to use the magic scroll.

As I tore the paper while pronouncing the starter word, the power trapped inside formed a magic circle and spewed out a large and intense fireball.

Several monsters that came after smelling the blood of Owl Bear and Shadow Knight got caught up in it and fell to the ground, turning into black charcoal. Although they were not strong, their power was considerable.

‘It is similar to the flame bird summoned by the red troll, but its composition is elaborate and solid. If the level of magic is higher than this, it may be difficult to cut it with the Five Element Sword of Opposition.’

Leonard put the few remaining magic scrolls in his pocket while thinking about wizards and beings he had not yet met.

I roughly understood the abilities of .

Magic that directly interferes with the body is strongly repelled, and magic that is formed externally only reduces or blocks its effects. In the case of the space door, it seemed like I could pass through it. It was a good thing because otherwise, getting off the island would have been a problem.

“Should I bring a signal? If I put it in the subspace pocket, my location won’t be traced back… .”

It can be used to track the location of the Shadow Knight, but there is no separate function to know who responded to the signal.

The odds were less than 3 pennies, but if he encountered a knight of the Transcendence, Leonard in his current state had almost no chance of winning.

Fifth Shadow.

Even if it was a dark sword or something, a strong person who had reached the Harmony Sutra would not have such an obvious weakness remaining. In order to compete with a sword master who can wield powerful weapons at will, it must be possible to at least clash the swords.

Five elements sword energy

House (輯) Seonggang (成罡)

Leonard, who pulled out the sword from his waist, closed his eyes and concentrated, and the loose threads of the Auror became tangled and tangled, creating an exquisite shape of the blade.

Proof of being a true powerhouse, something that can only be attempted once the ultimate level has been reached.

Kiiiiiiiing——!

The sword attack, created in a matter of seconds, cut through the darkness of the night.

‘Slow.’

But Leonard wasn’t pleased with the results.

Since it has already been reached once, the formation of strength itself is not very difficult. The problem was that the speed required to form it and the amount of internal energy consumed were insufficient.

By inheriting Yeon Moo-hyeok’s heart, the upper division was opened, but this body’s full potential was not awakened. Only after reaching the transcendental level will one be able to use 100% of the power.

It takes 3 seconds to form a sword from scratch, and even the operating time does not exceed 3 minutes.

‘If you attack without letting your guard down, you’ll be the enemy in 10 seconds. Even if you wait for your swordsmanship, you’ll be the enemy in 100 seconds.’

In reality, the gap between the Yeongchegyeong and the external force meridian was only a small boundary compared to the gap between the external force meridian and the transcendental meridian.

It was not something Leonard could handle on his own.

‘How can I detect the presence of the invading enemy without my actions being discovered and by the Dragon Knights and Bradley… .’

Also, the scale of the threat must be made known so that you do not suffer great damage if you misjudge the enemy’s level.

How many people thought about it?

In the end, Leonard came up with the answer.

Kiiiiing!

A sword surged from his sword once again, and a large wound was carved on the shadow knight’s body.

From this moment on, the 30th shadow will become a hero.

* * *

After returning from , Leonard rarely went to the island to check on the situation.

A week passed and nothing much happened.

Has it not been discovered yet?

“Leonard!”

It was that moment.

Leonard, who was wandering around the white sand beach aimlessly, heard the familiar voices of three people. When I looked in that direction, I saw vagabonds that were difficult to distinguish from beetles approaching.

It seemed like he had just returned from night training.

Hayden, Ian, and Gail approached the tattered figure and spoke to him.

“How long has it been since this! How are you?”

“For your information, we didn’t get along well. “The swamp, which already seemed like shit, looked even more shitty in the middle of the night.”

“The ground is muddy, and the trees are full of bugs. “It’s no place for people to live or go!”

It seemed like I gained quite a useful experience in .

Although he is grumbling with his mouth, Leonard’s ability is felt to have increased by one level.

Regardless of the level of mana training, your sword skills have improved.

“You came back sooner than expected. “I thought it would last a month.”

At those words, the three people all shuddered.

“no! “Why are you saying such terrible things?”

“After a month there, there will be people who will try to escape even if it means tearing their limbs apart. “It’s not a joke.”

“I would do the same. “The problem is that I don’t think I can go back even if my limbs are broken.”

Hayden and Gail nodded as if they fully agreed with what Ian said.

If you are still in the growth phase like Leonard, apprentice knights whose bodies have fully grown can simply reattach their limbs with potions.

Let me rest for a few minutes and then get back to training.

Still, what Leonard said led to what he had been curious about.

“Well, I heard that if everything went according to plan, it would have been 15 more days.”

“This is the first time the training plan has been shortened in this way, so we are not sure. “Did something happen?”

Leonard’s eyes narrowed.

‘I guess I found it.’

A gift for the Dragon Knights that he had prepared with great care.
