Sword Emperor Reincarnated as a Sword Master Chapter 60

Sword Emperor Reincarnated as a Swordsmith (60)

It was exactly 10 minutes later.

“… Forget it. “It’s because I have strong emotions.”

“I understand.”

Esther, who was hugged by a 15-year-old and cried, looked away with an awkward look on her face. However, the same sense of distance as before could not be found on the outside.

Thanks to Leonard, I achieved the 5th rank, and even the vision of mental strength was taught to me in a way that was almost forced.

It’s too late to regain face as an adult.

“[Fireball].”

So Esther didn’t say anything more and ran away to continue Leonard’s magic classes.

“It’s a fire-type magic that can be used from the 3rd level. “It is also one of the most popular attack spells.”

Leonard also knew [Fireball] well.

After defeating the Shadow Knight on Galapagos Island, several of the magic scrolls obtained from his arms were included.

The fireball flies at a fairly high speed, and if it is hit or blocked, it explodes immediately, spreading shock waves and sparks. It was a magic that seemed useful both against people and against monsters.

“Unlike the [Magic Missile], it is quite useful even in this state.”

Esther’s eyes stared intently at the [Fireball].

It was not possible to transform it in a matter of seconds like [Magic Missile].

This was because the composition of the magic formula itself was at a higher level, and the level of achievement in the clear mind method was still low, so the mental power to handle it consciously was lacking.

Still, as the concentration was achieved minute by minute, the fireball slowly began to change its appearance.

“If you flatten it like a disk… “It will be much faster, right?”

The fireball, which is closer to a [Fire Frisbee] than a [Fireball], does not have enough shape, so the rotation speed increases.

Esther was immersed in the fun of kneading the completed magic.

“good!”

As she spoke, a disk-like [Fireball] was shot out at an angle.

The speed was definitely several times faster than the shape of a sphere.

The flame disk flew out, burning the air with a shout, rising above the target and then exploding in the air. This was because the formulas for calculating spherical and disk-shaped orbits were different.

It was different from [Magic Missile], which was all about shooting in a straight line.

“The speed has increased considerably, but is the orbital calculation a bit off? “More research will be needed.”

Esther laughed, not caring about the failure.

Compared to years of standing still, how happy is it to do research that is certain to lead to improvement through one trial and error.

Like a child playing with a new toy, she constantly repeated her magic demonstrations in the name of showing Leonard. From auxiliary magic to offensive magic to defensive magic, she did not rest even for a moment until her mana was depleted.

“[shield]! It’s a basic defensive spell. The more circles you have, the more sophisticated the technique can be to create a stronger shield. If you’re level 5, you’ll probably be able to withstand Sword Aura a few times. Ultimately, because the surface area is large, it becomes vulnerable to attacks that focus on one point.”

“[Lightning Bolt]! This is a third-tier lightning magic, and its power itself is lower than [Fireball], but it is useful because of its high speed and accuracy. “It doesn’t have enough destructive power to penetrate the aura armor of knights who have broken through the external force field.”

“[Haste]! [Strength]! These auxiliary magics… , you know? In that case, let’s try [Sharpness] or [Striking].”

Esther’s teachings, which were very excited due to the joy of breaking through the hierarchy, satisfied Leonard, who was thirsty for knowledge.

Over the course of several hours, I had seen dozens, if not more than a hundred types of magic, and had been thoroughly educated on their pros and cons.

Leonard was now able to detect the omens of magic that was frequently used in the 4th tier and lower, and was able to learn at least knowledge about magic of the 5th tier and higher.

‘Is short-distance spatial movement and [Blink] handled starting from the 5th level? From this level, it would be difficult to determine victory or defeat against a magician even if he was a warrior of the External Power Mirror.’

For knights who did not exceed the 7th level of External Power Sutra at the stage of mana training, the range of their sword energy was the attack range.

Like Leonard’s Five Element Sword Technique, there were very few cases where it was differentiated into a sword shape outside the body and even capable of attacking from a distance. Most of them were using a method that was even primitive, releasing sword energy with the force of swinging a sword.

‘In this world, it is difficult to control the energy that exists outside one’s body, so it is understandable.’

In martial arts, even the best masters possessed complex long-distance attack methods such as Ji-pung, Gwon-pung, and Jang-pung.

Masters of Yin Gong’s basic attacks were long-distance, and even martial arts wielders were capable of transforming the shape of their swords into thin threads or shooting out shapes they had created in their own way.

It was a combination of a martial arts system that used energy as efficiently as possible and a much weaker physical ability than here.

‘Humans have overcome things that they could not achieve due to the insufficiency of their bodies by confronting them with wisdom, not with their bodies.’

The extremely abundant Qi and powerful physical ability blocked the development of the technique.

Imagine pouring a bucket full of water into a cup so that it neither overflows nor falls short. Depending on your skill, you may be able to succeed in one attempt, or in several attempts if your hands are dull.

But what if you ask me to pour a full bathtub’s worth of water into a cup rather than a small bucket?

If failing dozens or hundreds of times isn’t enough, wouldn’t they be scolded and ask why they have to do this?

‘There are very few techniques that anyone but me can use where the ability to use energy is more important than the amount of internal energy.’

Hoeyangji (回楊指), which draws a circle and aims to stab the opponent in the back.

A dark spirit field erupts from the palm of one’s hand without any sound or presence.

A decapitating ghost sword that manipulates the thread of sword energy to cut off its head.

Leonard, who had experienced and acquired many experiences in his past life, could have become a messenger to the wizards here.

‘Darkness is a skill that you just have to get right if you don’t know it.’

There were dozens of martial arts that came to mind at once, and I was confident that I could reproduce or imitate them all. Unlike mana practice, where it is possible to block male and female attacks with self-defense, it is also difficult for wizards to deploy defensive magic at all times.

“crane! Sigh! crane! crane!”

After thinking that far, Leonard looked down at Esther, who was lying in front of him, trying to catch his breath.

The result was that he was so excited about becoming a 5th rank wizard that his mana calculations were a bit off. There is no useful means like fortune telling, and natural recovery is being done to avoid burdening the just-formed circle with spirit stones.

Even though he was spouting sweet smells from his mouth like Pabal, who had run dozens of miles away, his expression was flawless and bright.

“Whoa, I feel better now.”

Esther, who had stood up in just a few minutes, looked back at him.

“Leonard.”

It was my first time.

Esther looked into his eyes as she called his name. Green eyes were shining like emeralds.

“Thank you for teaching me. “I should have taught you, but on the contrary, I ended up learning from you.”

What Esther taught Leonard was just a cumbersome explanation that anyone could give, but what Leonard taught her was something that no one could say was trivial.

Equivalent exchange does not occur.

As her head calmly sank due to a single depletion of magical power, Esther, who saw her own shameless side, had to make a decision.

“I will repay this favor with interest. “It is an oath that I, Esther, make with my mana as a wizard.”

“It’s a story of learning and teaching from each other, and Esther just being lucky. “Why would you say something like that?”

“Do not be ridiculous!”

Esther, annoyed by Leonard’s calm face as always, took a step closer to him and pointed out the bridge of her nose.

“If you criticize me like that, I’ll be a bitch! “I’ve already suffered from guilt for years, but if you add debt, I can’t even imagine how many decades I’ll struggle!”

He finally understood when he thought of the mental wall that blocks the next level, the mind demon. For that reason, if I was going to repay the favor thoroughly, it would have been rude to decline any further.

When Leonard nodded once, Esther approached the crystal ball installed in her workshop with a confident expression on her face.

“Just wait a moment! “I don’t know if he’s free right now, but when I contact him, most of the time he accepts!”

Before he could reply, Esther touched the crystal ball and released magical energy.

The crystal ball, which was opaque and dim, emits bright light.

and.

{What.}

A harsh voice came out from the crystal ball.

“Master, can you give me some time?”

{I probably told you not to contact me about something trivial. I’m busy. I don’t have time to listen to your small talk.}

“I have reached the 5th rank. Just before.”

{————.}

The crystal ball’s voice cut off for a moment, and only after a few seconds did it start speaking again.

{Come up. Leave the entrance open.}

“yes! “Let’s bring a guest too!”

{what? Whoever you like—}

Before the other party could say anything, the communication was cut off and the crystal ball, which had lost its power source, returned opaquely.

Esther looked back at him and smiled refreshingly.

“Let’s hurry! “We have to go up before Master says more!”

“But if you are Esther’s teacher… ?”

“Oh, you never told me?”

Esther realized this fact through Leonard’s reaction, but came to the conclusion that it would be more fun to go without knowing.

“When you go up, you’ll find out who it is, right? “Come on, let’s go!”

Esther, putting her robe back on the hanger, takes the lead, and Leonard, who does not understand the situation, follows.

The two used a magic circle to open the door, just like they did when they came, and then got on the moving disc. Even without entering a separate destination, the disc immediately soared to the top floor of the tower.

It was an area where only tower owners and elders could reside, and it was the residential area of ​​wizards who had reached at least the 6th rank.

Squeak.

When the disc, which was rising at high speed, suddenly stopped, Esther stumbled forward and screamed.

Of course, Leonard, who was not moving, caught it.

“This damn human is real! “Look at you making a fuss about cutting off communication!”

“That was Esther’s mistake.”

“Leonard, you too?!”

With her complaints flowing to one ear, Leonard faced a door that didn’t look much different from Esther’s room. The door hasn’t even opened yet, but the presence coming from inside makes him nervous.

It was the feeling I felt when I saw the fifth shadow or Fabian.

Within there, a powerhouse of transcendental rank exists.

{Come in.}

The door was opened with a low voice.

The mana that overflowed from within was so dense that it felt to Leonard like the scent of rotten fruit that had not yet ripened.

Esther walks into the room one step behind.

‘This looks bigger than Zephyrus Hall.’

Esther’s room also seemed very spacious, but compared to this room, it was narrow and small.

How many high-ranking wizards reside there?

Leonard was soon able to resolve that question.

This was after passing dozens of tightly closed doors and passing through a hallway that seemed to be at least a hundred meters long.

‘… Is it that guy?’

There were dozens of books spread out on the desk and hundreds of sheets of paper floating in the air.

It was all filled with high-dimensional magic formula.

If anyone who could understand had seen it, it would have been a sight that would have put their eyes out or just stared at them without closing them. From Leonard’s point of view, he was wondering what this was all about.

Above all, the long-haired middle-aged man whose eyes were shining beyond the books and papers was what attracted his attention.

“That’s interesting. “Not only has my penny-pinching student reached the 5th rank, but he’s also arbitrarily bringing in guests.”

A man wearing glasses made of transparent glass with thin rims stood up from his seat.

Brown hair and brown suit.

The wizard, who looked like an elegantly aged nobleman, looked at the two people in turn. Then he turned his gaze to Leonard, not Esther, and said,

“I am Jack Russell, the chief elder of the Atlantis Tower. “I wonder what your relationship is with that idiot.”

“My name is Leonard.”

so? Leonard answered while meeting those eyes.

“He is a new member of the ‘Aquamarine’ adventure group and the benefactor who raised Esther to the 5th rank.”

The Jack Russell’s dull eyes were colored with interest.
