Geomje reincarnated as a swordsmith (42)
The twelfth shadow of Cruzis, a man with a thin and dry body, felt like he was going crazy.
Even though he had experienced all the hardships of childbirth after decades of living in hiding, he felt that this island was not a place he would come to in his right mind. There were only five types of A-rank monsters encountered in less than ten days after landing, and if you count the monsters below that number, there were over 40 types.
If it weren’t for my ability to surpass the 10th level of Outer Power Sutra, and even if the number of artifacts prepared by Cho Kuk were missing, it was a level of difficulty that would have killed me long ago.
Among them, the monster in front of me was the worst.
“It’s a level 3 manticore! That’s a special species too?! “What are the heads of all the Cardenas training on this island?”
The human-headed manticore glared at him and his companions, his eyes turning bright red.
It was a precursor to a magical manifestation that I had already experienced several times.
As expected of the Shadow Knights with extensive combat experience, all five members quickly enter a defensive posture.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
A small firestorm swirled over the Shadow Knights, who had shielded themselves with Sword Aura and sword energy.
A monster that manifests 4th rank magic without chanting.
The Manticore that broke through the True Demon Realm was such a being, and the intelligence and mana amount of the special species were several times higher. If it were a low-level wizard, his spell could have been reversed and the circle inside his body could have exploded.
“bout!”
The twelfth shadow grew tired of the heat and swung his sword, clearing the surrounding air.
Otherwise, the heated air will cook your lungs.
The rest of the shadow knights were the same.
The heat that couldn’t be completely blocked by the shield burned their skin, and some people had parts of their faces crushed. Nevertheless, the twelfth knight did not rebuke them or anything.
‘Damn it, if I hadn’t been hit by Roar, things wouldn’t have gone this wrong… !’
The twelfth shadow clenched his molars as he thought about the plate that was overturned at the last minute.
Blocking the special move of the special species of Manticore, [Petrification Wave], with armor was very good, but I did not expect that he would use [Howl of Fear] right after that without taking a single breath.
That was the reason why I kept being hit by that guy’s magic while standing still.
‘It takes at least 3 more minutes for the paralysis of my legs to go away. I might be able to endure it, but there’s a higher chance that the rest of us won’t be able to endure it.’
As if boasting of its cunning, the Manticore was only pouring out magic at regular intervals from outside the range of its sword energy.
If you were at 9th level of External Power Sutra, you might be able to barely hold on, but from 8th level onwards, your complexion was pale, as if you were already reaching your limit. It was clear that he would soon be roasted in a firestorm.
However, if the twelfth shadow can handle all the magic, it may be annihilated by that special species of manticore.
A situation of dilemma.
Faaah!
At that moment, the signal hanging on his wrist flashed.
A joyful smile appeared on the twelfth shadow’s face. This news could have boosted the morale of the crew.
“Reinforcements! “Everyone, just hold on a little longer!”
The knights, who confirmed that the signal was turned on, all adjusted their swords with bright faces.
The balance between them and the Manticore was delicate.
If either side makes the slightest mistake, or if an external force intervenes in a negative way, it will immediately collapse.
But it seemed that Goddess Luck was on their side.
Guhuuuk… !
The manticore also read the mood and distorted the old man’s face in disgust.
Once [Petrification Wave] is used, it cannot be used for a while, and if the tail’s poisonous needle is fired twice, recovery time is required. If enemy reinforcements arrived like this, there was no way to survive.
It was at that moment that Leonard arrived.
‘Is there one 10th dan of the Outer Power Sutra, and two each of the 9th and 8th dans? Even though it’s dealing with a True Demon Light-level Manticore, it’s holding up well with all four limbs intact.’
I don’t know what method was used, but it seemed like everyone was safe from the [Petrification Wave], and the movement of both legs as if they were tied to the ground was probably due to the roar of paralysis.
Fatigue seems high, but morale is not low.
The overall injuries are minor, and the mana consumption is large, so the self-defense that protects the entire body is weakened.
Leonard, who understood the status of the five people in an instant, looked away.
‘There are several deep wounds and a large amount of bleeding, and it seems that the petrification ability cannot be used continuously or cannot be used. There are only 1 or 2 doses of poison, and there is a high possibility that death will occur when the paralyzing time of the roar is over.’
On a nearly horizontal balance, the Manticore was at a slight disadvantage. As a fisherman, the direction in which he should add his efforts was virtually determined.
Two swords were pulled out from Leonard’s waist.
and.
Five elements sword energy
Double-walled lightning sword (雙璧震雷劍) rain (飛)
A pair of swords with their entire blades flashing bright blue was shot out.
Flying swordsmanship.
Although it cannot be compared to the Igi Gear Sword, which requires the full use of telekinesis, it is a technique specialized for killing enemies from a distance.
The big swords, which increased their speed by accepting the brain energy, had a hard time reacting even if they were looking at it from the front. However, the Shadow Knights were only looking at the Manticore without paying attention to their backs.
Naturally, the results were disastrous.
Fuhwahaek!
Almost simultaneously, the two heads pop up, the blood fountain rises high, and the air on the battlefield freezes.
Even the twelfth shadow could not react properly.
If I had targeted him, I would have saved myself, but I only targeted those whose skills were slightly inferior. The two Shadow Knights of the 8th level of Outer Power Mirror fell comfortably to the ground after losing their heads.
It was immediately after that that the manticore moved.
“Kwaaaak!”
It was an attack aimed at the moment when two people were killed and three people were shocked by Leonard’s surprise attack.
One shadow knight covered in cursed fire struggled and soon died. The magic defense given to the armor was gone after blocking just one [Petrification Wave].
The Shadow Knight, who lost his three comrades in an instant, glared at Leonard and shouted.
“You, you bastard—! You vile, dirty, vile seed of evil! “Do you not have the slightest pride or honor?”
The twelfth shadow’s anger raised his eyebrows.
“Pride? honor? “Did you really mean it?”
That’s not even funny.

Leonard’s mouth was tinged with deep cynicism because he knew what their true purpose was.
He pulled out two swords again from his subspace pouch and answered with an open sneer.
“This is not a virtue that those who come to kidnap children are looking for.”
“Uh, how?”
The Shadow Knight’s eyes widened at what Leonard said.
“Do you have any idea how I was able to use the signal you guys have? “Your colleague revealed everything.”
“Do you think I will fall for a trivial trick? !”
“It is the shadow of Cruzis, and the losers who surrendered to Cárdenas put forward that name in a grandiose way. Since they are not confident of winning from the front, they target the kids. What honor and pride is there in that action? Is that normal in a small country on the border?”
“–bloke.”
As if being stabbed was not enough, the shadow knight whose identity was discovered erased all expressions.
No matter what you do, you have to kill the young-looking guy in front of you.
Only that sense of duty dominated the twelfth shadow.
“Puhup!”
Spitting out fresh blood.
To lift the Manticore’s paralysis, the Shadow Knight, risking internal injuries and rotating the mana in his body, took a step forward.
He gave the order without even looking behind him.
“Number 21, just hold on a little longer.”
“All right.”
It was almost like telling him to die, but the twenty-first shadow accepted it without any resistance. A special species of manticore was seen grinning at him, who was left alone.
External force mirror 10th level.
The strong man, who was only one step away from transcendence, aimed his blade at Leonard, burning his own life.
“There is no way our shadow would betray Cruzis. “He must have tampered with his mind with some evil magic.”
“Evil magic… ?”
Leonard, who made a subtle expression at those words, tilted his head.
He thought for a while about whether it was possible to say that white blood and blood clots were evil magic, and then he laughed.
I guess it’s a good thing.
Keying.
Black and white light flows from the twin swords hanging left and right.
Hyeonmujigi and Baekhojigi.
The seal and the engraving resonated slightly.
At the same time, purple sword energy soared from the blade of the twelfth shadow. Attribute power not included in the Five Elements. When Leonard saw that, he expressed a rare admiration.
“It is not a power of this world… ? Interesting.”
The shadow knight did not answer those words.
Only the purple blade extended out in a creepy trajectory.
Oh Sang-ryu
Hyeonmu eclipse (玄武一式)
Leonard’s black blade drew a circle against him.
Tortoiseshell Anti-Soul Sutra
The two colors of sword energy, purple and black, cut into each other and bounce off in opposite directions.
The eyes of the two narrowed sharply.
‘Unreasonable defense, difficult to penetrate from the front.’
‘The attack that was supposed to be repulsed ended up being deflected. It is completely different from the properties of ordinary energy.’
Unlike before I started, I don’t mix a single word.
Sword and sword.
The sound of the blade rumbling loudly as it tears apart the ground and wind in the area. Both the twelfth shadow and Leonard swung their swords in a state close to selflessness.
If the sword handled by the thirtieth shadow was an earthworm, then the sword of the twelfth shadow is not as good as a dragon, but it is a powerful weapon.
Fit!
Due to the combination of the black and white twin swords, the low sword energy rises upward, drawing a blood line on Leonard’s cheek.
Up and down, front and back, left and right.
It is the movement of a snake dancing freely in six directions.
‘Feel so good.’
The corners of Leonard’s mouth were torn to the side as he faced off with swordsmanship that he had not seen in a long time, revealing a smile that was even creepy.
The movement of the sword and the movement of the sword are independent.
It was a different technique from its origins than the martial arts swordsmanship of the Jungwon martial arts, which required a combination of herbivory, inner strength, spirit, and energy. There may be special characteristics of the purple sword, but the flesh sword of the twelfth shadow was of a different class from the one who clumsily relied on dark swords.
“hey.”
“… What.”
As Leonard’s mouth opened, the shadow knight, who had been in a trance, also had a questioning look in his eyes.
“Why don’t you use the black sword’s function? “I think it would be a little more dangerous if that were the case.”
“Do you know that much…? . The reason is simple. If the Shadow Sword contains aura above a certain level, its efficiency decreases sharply. “It’s not a weapon worth using in a proper fight.”
“I see,” Leonard immediately agreed.
Now that I think about it, if the dark sword didn’t have that many drawbacks, I would have used it all. That may be why the Shadow Knight, who was at the 8th level of External Power Sutra, was overwhelmed in a sword fight with him.
The two took a nose-dive again.
This time, they want to fight until one of them dies, so the sword energy rising from the blade shines even more clearly.
But Leonard couldn’t help but furrow his eyebrows.
“Tsk.”
“?”
The twelfth shadow was puzzled by the gap, but moved its legs to take a step forward.
Quad Deuk!
He was hit by the tail of the manticore that approached without a sound, and he fell over, scattering the contents inside his skull.
It was instant death.
Kwasik! puck! Pussy!
The Manticore was struck several more times until it was confirmed dead.
Even a 10-level external force mirror was of little significance in the surprise attack of a true magic level monster. Because I was so serious about the battle with Leonard, it was late to recognize the surrounding situation.
Manticore, who had ended the fight between the two swordsmen, belatedly looked back at Leonard.
One monster and one swordsman.
A dry wind passes between them, making them realize that this is a situation where they can kill or be killed at any time.
“—ah.”
It was then.
“human.”
The head of a special species of manticore, shaped like a human old man, spoke to Leonard.
