Sword Emperor Reincarnated as a Swordsmith (40)
‘It’s become noisy.’
Leonard, who returned to his residence, did not immediately leave the place, but slowly organized what he had to do from now on.
His senses, which have become more sensitive due to his concentration, are able to detect the presence of many times more people than usual. The Dragon Knights, who had been scattered all over the island, gathered in one place, and the energy that was swirling around without knowing it was unusual.
I didn’t have to worry about being noticed inside the island, but I felt like I had to be more careful when leaving the station.
Wow.
Leonard opened the map he had purchased with a few Yawn Spirit Stones to the trio and predicted the Shadow Knights’ route.
The maps that Bradley gave us on the first day were so crude and the topographical features were old, that we discarded them as soon as we received new maps.
His eyes narrowed as he traced the map with his index finger.
‘The information given by the 30th shadow is not of much help.’
It was not because the Shadow Knights’ plan was too meticulous, but on the contrary, it was too sloppy.
This is the price paid for being preoccupied with the goal of kidnapping the children of the Cardenas family and neglecting the investigation into the Galapagos, the main stage of the mission. He made the ridiculous mistake of going through the center of the island just to take the shortest route.
If the Sword Master had taken the lead and opened the way, the goal might have been achieved.
‘However, for fear that group action would draw the attention of the enemy, we chose to split up for individual battles and then rejoin at the target location.’
In conclusion, it is the worst move.
In the center of this island, there are S-rank monsters that cannot be pacified except by a sword master, and nearby, several types of A-rank monsters reign in their habitat and kill all intruders.
Even if you have an 8th level External Power Sutra, it is difficult to survive if you encounter an A-rank monster, especially one that has become a True Demon Sutra.
This was because from grade A3 onwards, it was comparable to the 10th level of external force mirror.
‘Even if I don’t take care of it, more than half of them might die.’
Unlike the knights of Cardenas, the shadow knights of Cruzis are specialized in interpersonal warfare in their sword techniques and fighting methods.
Unless it was a humanoid monster, it would be difficult to show off your skills if you clashed with an A-rank monster with a different shape.
Leonard looked down at the map with cold eyes.
‘There are two main possibilities.’
The first is when the fifth shadow, the Sword Master, is aware of the danger inherent in this island and is searching for the Shadow Knights to collect the remaining members.
In this way, it was difficult to defeat them individually, but Leonard, who sensed a large number of people, was able to avoid the approaching Sword Master.
The second was when all of them were still scattered and wandering around the island.
‘… The latter is better in terms of reducing power, but in the worst case, I might run into a sword master wandering alone.’
There is no chance of winning, and the chance of survival by running away is less than 20%.
A chill ran down Leonard’s spine.
‘Ha, good.’
The potential of a warrior explodes only when he stands on Baekcheok Gandu.
Leonard’s body and mind burned like oil on fire due to the heinous mission setting, which required him to kill dozens of supreme masters while avoiding one master of fire.
Leonard took out a beacon from his subspace pocket, hung it around his neck, and tensed his body so that he could react at any time.
This signal was a tool that could track the enemy, and a device that allowed the enemy to track itself.
‘If they find me, they will surprise you, and if the enemy finds me, they will use you as bait.’
No one would think that the Shadow Knight was not only suppressed by the enemy, but also died after learning how to use the signal.
You might find it useful a few times.
If the reaction you thought was from a colleague turns out to be a surprise attack from an enemy, no matter how well-trained you are, you will be one beat behind. Giving one beat to Leonard was no different from saying that he would give up a limb, even if it was 10th level of the External Power Sutra.
Only one sword master needs to be careful.
“Shall we go?”
Leonard spoke as if to encourage himself, and walked inside the cave instead of in front of the door.
It was a road that even Bradley, who had given up this residence, did not know.
‘I didn’t know I would write it this quickly.’
After breaking through the external force realm, it was something he did to kill time.
Creating an underground passage in case of an unexpected situation.
Although Leonard’s proficiency in earth fighting techniques was not high, the combination of Leonard’s physical ability and earth energy was excellent. The rock layer, which is difficult to dig even with a pickaxe, is cut out with ten fingers, and the part where the pillar is to be erected is secured by tamping it down.
Thanks to the fact that a road to the inside of the island was opened in just a few days, there was no need to worry about avoiding the Dragon Knights.
Jerk, jerk.
Only his footsteps echoed softly through the darkness of the underground passage.
* * *
It was an area classified as dangerous as four skulls or more, and it was the core area closest to the Cardenas family’s garrison, which could be said to be the deepest part of the island.
As soon as he set foot in that area, the air that Leonard felt changed.
The smell of blood is so bloody that my nose throbs.
‘As soon as we left the forest, it became as dry as a desert. As expected, the natural environment of this island is not something that can be understood through common sense.’
Leonard looked around the cliff where the sandstorm was blowing fiercely a few times.
On the road to Podalap Palace, a wind blows reminiscent of the Taklamakan Desert. The hostility and murderous intent contained within it felt infinitely hostile to humans.
If I encountered the monsters that inhabited this area, it seemed like I would have to fight until one of them died.
‘And there is only one type of monster that inhabits
The four skulls drawn on the parchment were painted blood red, as if to indicate their danger.
Manticore.
It was a notoriously evil and powerful monster with the body of a lion and the head of another creature. The grade of the race from which it was born is A rank, and even if it only reaches the Holy Demon Sutra, it is a monster that is treated as an External Power Sutra level 6 or higher.
Compared to the A-rank monster, the ogre, it is said that although its physical abilities are slightly lower, it has a poisonous sting and magical abilities, and can also use bizarre special abilities.
‘According to what the trio said, most of the rare casualties in the Dragon Knights come from
It could be said that it was the most dangerous of the A-rank monsters that existed in Galapagos.
The method of determining its strength was also particularly unique; it is said that its strength is determined by the type of head it has. It is weak to goblins and kobolds, but strong to orcs and trolls. It’s very rare, but if it’s a guy with a human head, it’s a special species.
“hmm.”
Leonard, who was walking on the cliff, stopped.

“… “I can finally see that ugly face.”
It is different from a troll and an owlbear.
An eerie presence, as if crawling out from the shadow of a nightmare, is slowly growing in size. It feels like the gaze is treating the other person as a toy rather than prey or enemy.
In the sandstorm, a manticore strode forward, flashing red eyes.
It was literally hideous in appearance.
‘The troll’s head, is it the Holy Demon?’
It is A2 grade.
Facing the presence, Leonard took a closer look at the factors that could be involved in its fighting power.
‘There are more than one or two corners that look dangerous.’
The reddish leather, muscular body is large and heavy.
The smoke flowing from the troll head’s snout is suspicious.
Also, like a scorpion, the end of its long tail was shaped like a club, with thorns growing densely like a hedgehog. Perhaps all of them contain deadly poison.
Considering its special abilities that cannot be seen from its appearance, its entire body was as if it existed solely for killing.
Gu Hong? Gu Hong Hong.
The manticore’s cry was truly bizarre.
The moment Leonard twitched his eyes at that bizarre sound,
Relief ooooook——!!
An intangible shock wave exploded.
“Wha!?”
The sudden roar made my body freeze for a moment.
Is it fear? no.
‘Music skill!’
Just as the mouth freezes at the sound of a tiger growling, the previous roar was based on a similar principle, only maximizing its power.
Leonard, who had experienced the sound hole, reacted immediately.
The brain energy released from
Oh Sang-ryu
Seven martial arts style
Tortoiseshell ice wall
At the same time, black and thick sword energy like ink poured out from the blade that had been struck, creating a wall.
With the Xuanwu Chili, which has the highest defense among the Five Element Sword Techniques, a protective shield completed in an instant envelops Leonard’s front in a round shape like a shell.
It was right after that.
Kakakakakakakang!
The poisonous needles shot out like the teeth of a comb all hit the sword screen and bounced off, sinking into the ground around them.
It is an incredible power.
Speed, power, and sharpness were all not lacking at all compared to memorizing the Four Heavenly Dangmun. The fighting technique itself was crude, but rather than a technique, it was just a strong swing of my tail.
‘What a cunning bastard you are.’
Leonard had a murderous smile on his face when he saw the manticore retreating several meters away.
It was also a surprise roar that came out.
After that, it didn’t approach and only shot the poisonous needle.
It reminds me of what I experienced during the chase with Sacheondangmun. He was so smart that you wouldn’t think he was just a monster, and his anger was unbelievable.
“I won’t kill you gracefully.”
As the transparent eyes shine with murderous intent, even the Manticore steps back due to an unknown ominousness.
Leonard ran forward as if keeping pace with the retreat.
The Five Elements and Six Gods Law

The treasure of fire
It accelerates, smashing the rock wall with a bang.
Unlike what I wrote before, it keeps changing direction to the right and left, leaving a blurry afterimage.
A haze that dazzles the eyes.
The poisonous needle that the Manticore shoots in panic tears up several afterimages, and in the meantime, Leonard approaches right in front of him and raises his sword.
Oh Sang-ryu
White tiger solar eclipse
The White Tiger’s sword is for thoroughly crushing and crushing.
The speed created by the movement changes from a sudden stop of one step to the power of inertia, and is naturally carried on the sword.
A blow with only one thought in mind: to increase destructive power.
Danak (斷岳)
The sound-tearing claw fell on the side of the manticore’s neck and severed one of its legs with its skin.
Cheeeeeek… !
As the blood pouring from the cut surface hit the ground, the sound of something burning was heard.
Is it poison or acid?
Even the blood is a tool for killing life.
If the Manticore had been created from someone else’s blueprint, the designer would have had an extremely malicious personality. Leonard, convinced of that, raised his sword once again.
“I was going to cut my ribs and split my lungs, but I never thought I could dodge it with just one leg. After all, A rank is different.”
Even trolls or owlbears that had broken through the B3 grade, True Demon Realm would not have been able to react to this attack.
It might have been possible with that lycan slope.
Leonard thought that far and infused his sword with energy.
Five elements sword energy

Master (冥刃)
Another sword pulled out from the subspace pocket had a shiny black blade.
These were Leonard’s first dual swords in this body.
To advance to
“You’ll have to be my scarecrow from now on.”
There was a long way to go.
So Leonard decided to hurry up a bit.
