Sword Emperor Reincarnated as a Sword Master Chapter 41

Geomje reincarnated as a swordsmith (41)

It was some time after that.

Guhehe! Guhehehe!

The manticore that was running away covered in blood eventually began to struggle as if it had given up on life. After using up all of her poisonous stinger, I hit her with all my might with my tail, with only the round part remaining.

That alone makes it a mace that can easily break the speed of sound.

The power of an A-rank monster was at a level that could not be ignored even if its body was close to death.

however.

Oh Sang-ryu

Hyeonmu eclipse (玄武一式)

Tortoiseshell Anti-Soul Sutra

The tail, which strikes down like a mace, is thrown back with a single strike, and the white blade strikes the defenseless head of the creature.

The attack and defense of the black and white twin swords.

Oh Sang-ryu

White tiger solar eclipse

Danak (斷岳)

With a crunching sound, the manticore fell down with its head crushed and never moved again.

Even if it is an A-rank monster, its brain is a fatal vital point.

So, although it is protected by a robber’s skull that is not easily damaged by the sword, it cannot withstand the White Tiger Eclipse, which strikes not because of its sharpness but because of its heaviness.

“… “It’s much more powerful than I expected.”

Leonard was amazed as he looked at the black and white twin swords held in his hands, not the manticore that had fallen by his own sword.

Block with Hyeonmu style and hit with Baekho style.

That was it.

Nevertheless, the A2 grade monster, the Manticore of the Holy Demon Lord, was easily destroyed. Even though it spewed cursed fire from its snout, shot out poisonous stings, and struggled with its size, it was not threatening at all.

‘Is it as the Heavenly Demon said? I was in too much of a hurry when it came to swordsmanship and internal training.’

Just by using two swords, I was able to use attack and defense very easily. If Hyeonmu and Baekho had been dealt with with one sword, it would have been impossible to toy with the Manticore like this.

Leonard realized that his insistence on being correct in his past life was just like the frog in the well.

I was so captivated by the ultimate goal of controlling the five elements with one sword that I misunderstood my own level of vision. If it weren’t for Heavenly Demon’s advice, I might have been lost for a long time in this life.

‘It’s worth it to live and die.’

Leonard, who stored his two swords with a satisfied expression, retrieved the prize spirit stone that floated in front of him.

A force that makes your palms tingle just by holding it with your hand.

If the yawning spirit stone was like a drop of water and the medium spirit stone was like a small pond, the good spirit stone was closer to a lake. Absorbing just one can replenish 20% of your Danjeon. It could be useful in an emergency.

Leonard, who stored the product spirit stone, a piece of the manticore’s tail, and leather in his subspace pocket, stood up.

‘It’s good to find shadow knights, but let’s practice your sword by catching a few more. If not only the two swords but also the three swords and the four swords become possible, even an opponent of the Transcendental Realm will have some chance of winning.’

was an area that suited Leonard well for training, better than he thought.

Manticores are not concentrated in one place and prefer to live alone, so there is no need to worry about fighting one on one. And his combat ability was not only specialized in one area, but was excellent in all areas, and his methods were so cunning that he could not let down his guard.

‘I don’t think I’ve seen any special abilities… If you hunt, you’ll probably come across at least one guy that uses it.’

After a long time, Leonard, with his eyes wide open, entered .

A sandstorm mixed with the smell of blood blew behind him.

It was the moment when a murderer intruded into the daily lives of the manticores, monsters that were born in this area and continued to reign as predators until their deaths.

Second one.

The manticore with the goblin’s head was definitely weaker than the one with the troll’s head.

However, perhaps because he had the head of a goblin, he was skilled at fighting as a weakling. As soon as he decided that Leonard’s side was stronger, he ran away in a hurry, then lured them into a trap he had set before and attempted a counterattack.

Oh Sang-ryu

Main solar eclipse (朱雀一式)

explosion

With one swing, I burned the poison pouring down like a shower, and right after that, I stabbed the attacking guy between the eyes.

Oh Sang-ryu

Eighteen Blue Dragon Styles

Lei Feng’s Battle (雷逢電別)

It strikes like thunder and returns like lightning.

In its original state, it is a herbivore equivalent to continuous stabbing, but if you stab it once and escape, you can prepare for the next situation.

Guweek.

Of course, the manticore that was pierced between the eyes died instantly.

Leonard, who took one more breath and retrieved his dual swords, looked back on the battle a little while ago.

Jujak style and Cheongryong style.

The combination of Hwanganggeom and Kwaeyegeom was good in its own way, but it was a bit lacking compared to the Hyeonmu style and Baekho style that were used before. Using the main move, he blocks the opponent’s eyes while pushing him, and with the Blue Dragon move, he pierces them once and finishes them off.

Perhaps because it was a combination focused on attack, it felt like it lacked stability and balance.

‘Next time, I’ll have to try changing the combination again.’

Leonard moved to find another guy.

The practice involving the Manticore’s blood continued.

Third one.

The ogre-headed manticore was several times more powerful than the ones he faced before. Unlike those who relied on poisonous needles and traps, they fought in hand-to-hand combat, and their physical abilities were on a different level.

Oh Sang-ryu

Leonard’s sword collided with the claws of the guy who rushed at ultra-high speed.

White Tiger Five Styles

Heavenly Gangpa (天剛波)

It sinks both legs into the ground, and the sword that counters the approaching attack sends a shock wave into the Manticore’s body.

An attack that would cause a human’s entire internal organs to be crushed, blood to squirt out, and death to occur. However, the manticore’s strong body absorbed the shock without any hesitation.

No, among the manticores, it may be that it has that body because it is the one with the head of an ogre.

Gururururu… !

With their blades and claws touching, Leonard and the Manticore’s gazes intermingled within a few inches of each other, exchanging intense murderous intent.

At this moment, we are equal and equal to each other.

Animals that only think about death and killing.

Oh Sang-ryu

Eighteen Blue Dragon Styles

Lei Feng’s Battle (雷逢電別)

The thunderbolt that erupted from Leonard’s other hand spread out into several branches and pierced various parts of the manticore’s body.

Grab it in the white tiger style and stab it in the blue dragon style.

It wasn’t a bad combination.

Wow!

Manticore, having suffered a loss in the stalemate, retreats.

The monstrous power coming from the ogre’s head was so incredible that it was able to momentarily shake off the pressure of the White Tiger.

However, losing the offensive initiative was a more fatal blow.

Leonard took a step forward and his dual swords danced dizzyingly.

Five Sangryu (五象流) Isin (Two Gods)

East Blue Dragon West White Tiger

Trust in the gale

By deploying the black blue dragon style held in the right hand and the black white tiger style held in the left hand, a space is created that cannot be escaped.

With a quick sword, the path to advance is cut off one beat ahead, and with the pressure of a heavy sword, it is thoroughly suppressed. To break through this stormy sword attack, you needed the skill to read its flow.

Of course, it was impossible for a manticore with the head of an ogre.

In an instant, parts of his body were torn and split, and fatal gaps eventually appeared in the man who was writhing in pain.

Oh Sang-ryu

Lee Sin-ohui (Two Gods Great Justice)

Dragon and tiger pair killing

He cuts off the nape of the neck using the Blue Dragon style to create a weak point in the tough body, then strikes it with the White Tiger style raised like an execution axe.

It was a situation where a dragon and a tiger were biting each other to death at the same time.

Jump!

The moment the blue and white sword lights intersected, the manticore’s head fell and stopped moving. He was so powerful that it was hard to believe that he was the Holy Demon Lord.

‘The blue dragon and the white tiger go well together. Is it because the property is located in a symmetrical direction? In that case, there is a high possibility that Suzaku and Hyeonmu will also get along well.’

It was after he had pierced the heart of the fourth animal with a single shot that Leonard confirmed that hypothesis.

In conclusion, the Jujak style and the Hyunmu style were a good match.

Although it did not have the same weight as when using the White Tiger Style, the Jujak Style, which is a mixture of a circular sword and a strong sword, made it possible to engage in more complex water fighting than the White Tiger Style. If the opponent was a human rather than a monster, it could have been more effective than Baekho Sik.

Leonard, who was checking his performance, muttered a few words.

“It’s good to know the compatibility when using this sword, but I haven’t seen a manticore using special abilities. “Is it really a rare species?”

Maybe being able to use special abilities only applies to people with human heads.

It was a pity that I couldn’t face him, but I had no intention of wasting time looking for a rare guy.

I was also thinking about tracking down the shadow knight.

Creepy.

It was then.

Due to the sense of crisis felt inside , Leonard almost instinctively raised his self-defense device. Otherwise, he felt like he could be in big trouble.

It was right after that.

From a place so far away that it couldn’t even be seen, an unidentified wave surged towards where Leonard was.

“———big!”

The five elements protecting the body suddenly shook violently, causing blood to flow backwards. With the creation of , its stability exceeded that of the Sword Emperor era, but it suffered internal injuries.

Leonard’s eyes widened as he realized what effect this wave had on living things.

It had to be that way.

‘Petrification?! ‘The ability to turn living things into stone?’

Even though it happened indirectly, from several kilometers away, I felt my entire body stiffen.

Leonard, who has magic resistance, is even wearing a self-defense device. If shaking it wasn’t enough to cause internal injuries, the fate of those who were hit directly at close range was decided.

Leonard’s head tilted for a moment as he thought about that.

‘In , is there a monster that can fight with a manticore that appears to be at least a true horse level?’

does not exist.

No matter how much I think about it, there is none.

In that case, only one identity of those who would have been directly hit by this wave came to mind.

This is the Shadow Knights of Cruzis.

“Let me check.”

Leonard grabs the beacon hanging from his neck and slowly pushes it in, activating the circuit inside it.

The signal will only work if you operate it in a certain order.

Faaah!

The light from the beacon shot out in one direction.

It was towards the center of , the place where the waves of petrification had come.

Pot! Pot! Pot! Pot!

It didn’t end with just one or two. The signal that flashed five times in a row finally fell silent. This meant that at least 5 shadow knights existed there.

And as if to support that fact, a roar that was incomparable to those I had faced so far rang out.

———————!!

It was an enormous sound.

The anger contained within shook the ground.

This is proof that the battle is not over yet.

It seemed that the Shadow Knights had somehow withstood the petrification wave.

Leonard, who figured it out, also realized that there was no Sword Master or a powerhouse of the Transcendental Realm inside.

‘Even though it is an A3 grade, True Demon Lord’s Manticore, if it had a Sword Master, it would have expressed more fear than anger.’

Although it is said that even a 10th level External Power Sutra can be a threat, the difference with the Transcendent Sutra is overwhelming. Whether it was a petrification wave or a paralyzing roar, not a single seed would have been eaten and it would have been horribly dismembered.

Sword Master, if it weren’t for the fifth shadow, it would have been difficult to find a better opportunity than this.

Leonard quickly kicked off the ground and ran to the epicenter.

‘The Manticore’s cries were never normal. If there were five Shadow Knights, he would have been hurt too. He might be able to bring the fishermen’s geography.’

Either way, if you had dealt with him alone, you would have had to take damage. The five Shadow Knights with an External Power Sutra level of 8 or higher and the True Demon Sutra level Manticore were all capable of threatening Leonard.

However, if the two collide and a precarious balance is established, both sides could inflict fatal damage.

‘I guess I’ll have to use the three swords this time.’

Before I knew it, three swords were clicking at my waist.
