Sword Emperor Reincarnated as a Sword Master Chapter 91

Geomje reincarnated as a swordsmith (91)

Not only Francis, who had guessed that fact from the previous story, but also Jack Russell and Marian trembled in embarrassment.

“… Ha, that’s absurd.”

I stabbed my eye with my finger while trying to push up the frame of my glasses, and even though my eye was red, I couldn’t feel the pain. This is because Leonard’s answer was enough to temporarily make one forget about pain.

〈Crack〉.

The reason why this strange phenomenon, which frequently appears not only in the Fifth Sea of ​​Atlantis but also throughout the world, causes great fear in all countries and people is very simple.

This was because played the role of an outpost for enemies coming from outside the borders of this world.

Even when the dimensional barrier was weakened, the dimensional gap was too dangerous for even a single living being to pass through. The stronger the entity and the larger its volume, the more a corresponding price is required to move to another dimension.

Jack Russell explained.

“The mechanism of itself is unknown, but the phenomenon it causes and its purpose are clear. “It is about breaking down the dimensional boundary between this world and other dimensions to build an environment where one can travel without any consequences.”

To sum it up in one word,

“It’s called erosion.”

Beyond the realm of polluting living things or the environment, it is the stage of polluting the foundation of the world. If the ‘crack’ was left unattended, it would turn into a ‘demon mirror’, which meant that the erosion had progressed to a dangerous level.

〈Crack〉, which has completed its magic transformation, no longer has an entrance, and the environment inside 〈Crack〉 pours out, engulfing the world and replacing its status. This is called Demon Gyeonghwa, and since alien laws and ecosystems have become established inside , subjugation becomes more difficult.

Moreover, unlike 〈Crack〉, where everything returns to nothing if only the medium is destroyed, in 〈Magic〉, even if it is devastated, the entire area remains polluted.

Therefore, even after the subjugation, purification work was essential, consuming enormous amounts of time and resources.

“So, the ‘crack’ must be closed before it causes demonic hardening, and the biggest obstacle in that process is the search for a medium. “But you solved it?”

“I didn’t solve it.”

The faces of the three people became even more confused at Leonard’s answer.

“… I don’t understand. “You have the ability to find the medium of the ‘crack’, but you haven’t solved it?”

“Exactly.”

“I don’t feel like playing with words.”

Because it was not a matter to be handled lightly, Jack Russell’s tone became a little sharper. He only suppressed his anger because of the friendship he had built up over the years, and if it had been someone other than Leonard, it wouldn’t have been surprising if he had been offended long ago.

However, despite the 7th rank archmage’s warning, Leonard still spoke with a calm expression.

“Then I guess I should first tell you about my origins.”

Jack Russell’s eyebrows rose at the sudden sound, and Marian’s face looked puzzled as well. Frances Mann’s eyes widened as she immediately realized something.

She was more genius than anyone else when it came to thinking.

Since I knew Leonard’s true background, it was as if I already had all the answers.

“Native? “Didn’t you come from the Kingdom of Cruzis?”

The information written in was something that could be easily viewed at the Magic Tower.

Jack Russell asked back, mentioning what he had just looked into.

But Leonard shook his head once and answered.

“It’s camouflage. To be exact, I came from the country next to it.”

“If it’s next to that… Arcadia? “Are you from the Empire?”

Although it is a nationality that is difficult to find in the Atlantis Maritime Union, I don’t know why that story is being discussed now. What is the connection between the ability to find the medium of a ‘crack’ and one’s background?

Leonard spoke the truth, facing the question in his eyes.

“I am a blood relative of a family known as the Three Dukes of the Arcadian Empire, especially the swordsman Cardenas.”

“What?!”

For the first time, a Jack Russell was shocked.

Anyone who was born and raised in this maritime union would know this, but he was a wizard dispatched from the mainland of that continent.

Naturally, he was well aware of the great empire that ruled more than half of the world and the status of the Samgong family, which were the pillars of that empire.

Cardenas.

Wickline.

Jehire.

Even if the founding of a nation was declared as a joke, it would be difficult to doubt its authenticity. Each one was a family that was several times more powerful than any other kingdom and possessed enormous power.

Cardenas, who protects the land of Arcadia as a member of the 7th Order of Knights, Wicklain, who single-handedly reached a level equal to or higher than the Magic Tower, and Zehire, who restored ancient ruins technology.

Only after thinking about it to that point was Jack Russell able to recall his activities related to the Seven Knights.

“… … indeed. “Is this the same as the reason why the 7 Knights of Cardenas can take full charge of ‘Crack’?”

It was well known that Cardenas’ blood relatives were born with abilities and talents that set them apart from others.

And if that innate ability or talent includes the power to explore media, then what Leonard said also explains. If it was an ability inherited from Cardenas’ blood, it would be a completely different story from the one he came up with the solution for.

Leonard said.

“I’m guessing that too. “I realized this ability after entering the ‘Sea Oak Den.’”

“hmm? “Didn’t you learn it from Cárdenas?”

It was a reasonable question in its own right, but the other three had to smile bitterly at almost the same time.

“Coming to Atlantis itself was an accident. Fran, may I ask you to explain that part?”

“Of course. “The reason I brought Leonard on this ship was—.”

From rescuing him from drifting at sea to the Shadow Knights of Cruzis who infiltrated the Galapagos Islands.

Russell was impressed after hearing the long and complicated story.

“It’s so eventful! It almost feels like I’m standing in front of the protagonist of a ridiculous heroic story. “Cardenas is a family that can maintain its reputation as the best sword family on the continent.”

He wiped his glasses with the handkerchief in his arms and muttered softly as if he were talking to himself.

“Wicline may be more famous among us wizards, but there is a reason why Cardenas is ranked first.”

“Do you know much about Wickline?”

“A wizard belonging to the Magic Tower has no choice but to know. “Because the Wickline family is our only competitor and the reason there is no magic tower in Arcadia.”

As if responding to Leonard’s explanation, he went into more detail.

“The Magic Tower and Wickline cannot coexist. “The two organizations have completely opposite values ​​regarding the wizarding society.”

Although they gathered in one place for the sake of minimal unity, the magicians belonging to the Magic Tower were ultimately individualists.

All knowledge, except for magic formulas that were passed around like public property, was that person’s property, and others had to either steal it or buy it at a price. It was not uncommon for him to separately exchange or use magic formulas that he had devised himself.

But Wickline was taking the opposite route.

“The magicians of the Mysterious Society, an organization founded by the Wickline family, share all knowledge within it. Joint research is fundamental, and teaching is exchanged without payment or demands. “There is a reason why they are several steps ahead even though their history is much shorter than ours.”

“You can’t do that in the Magic Tower?”

“It would be easy to gather together commoners who have nothing and establish a republic. But what would happen if there were powerful and wealthy nobles and royals in the mix, and we also decided to start a republic?”

“… “In order to protect their rights, they will completely oppose it or bury the person who brought it up.”

Leonard was immediately convinced by his explanation.

“A privileged few get most of the resources, and the rest are content with the scraps and help. “Almost all of those who cried out to change the system of the Magic Tower were eliminated from the ladder of success, or they climbed up the ranks and closed their mouths, satisfied with their changed situation.”

The Jack Russell let out a self-mocking smile.

Although Atlantis is a region treated as a periphery, the chief elder is clearly a privileged class. Even if he was sitting there doing nothing, the resources coming into Russell’s workshop were enormous.

He also had the same contradictory tendency to envy the Mystery Society’s open attitude but not want to give up its privileges.

“… There was no family like Wickline that had everything but was able to put it all down and become a focal point. “I would have been confident that I could maintain the lead even if I competed under equal conditions.”

Even so, the fact that the decision was great did not change.

Russell closed his eyes for a moment, but soon returned to his usual face and opened his mouth.

“The conversation went somewhere else. “Let’s go back to the story about the exploration schedule of ‘Crack’.”

“great!”

Francis agreed and expressed his opinion.

“Since the exploration of was completed in one day, the adventure group’s schedule also had some room to spare. Originally, I was expecting it to take about three to four days. “Did you really think it would be ‘sewn up’ in just one day?”

“They say it was empty for about two to three days. “Can’t we move to the ‘Demon Octopus Abyss’?”

“I’d like to avoid that.”

Francis explained, disagreeing with Leonard.

“We went to great lengths to avoid exposing Aquamarine to other adventurers through Bermuda, but if we move forward a few days, the route is bound to be revealed.”

“hmm.”

It made sense.

Starting from Sea Area 5, Aiolos, there were not many adventure groups in that range, so it was very easy to recognize someone.

“Then it would be better to stick to the original schedule. “Wouldn’t it be okay to wait here for two or three days and then move to the ‘Demon Octopus’ Abyss’?”

“I thought the gap period was too long.”

“You will need time to refine the experience you gained during your first exploration, so I think that will be okay.”

Russell gave that advice and added a few more words.

“Leonard, let’s talk more about how to use your powers later. “Just hearing what I heard today feels like my mind is going to explode.”

“Me too. “I’ll just have to think about that for the next few days.”

Leonard nodded at the two people’s words and stood up.

“All right. “Then I’ll find something to do personally.”

“I guess I’ll just have to accept my student’s complaints.”

Francis said.

“Marian? “It looks like you’ve been itching since a while ago, but if you want to go to the training room, you can go.”

“yes? But I want to escort the young lady… .”

“It’s okay because I plan on staying in the cabin. “The exploration team has all returned, so what?”

That was the end of the meeting in the conference room.

The four people dispersed in different directions, and as soon as Leonard entered his cabin, he found the attached training room.

In fact, after returning to Aquamarine, it was something I wanted to rush more than anything else, but as a member of the adventure group, I had no choice but to finish what I had to do first.

Leonard sat cross-legged and closed his eyes, thinking.

‘I may not know about Francis and Marian, but there is a reason why I was honest about my abilities even to Russell.’

That was the moment that broke the medium of ‘The Oak’s Den’ in two.

When the space was shattered with the amethyst cut into two pieces by a single sword, a crack appeared in the dimensional barrier and a second-dimensional shape visible beyond it flickered.

roared loudly as if celebrating its victory.

‘… also.’

Leonard, who was looking at his body, was convinced.

The size of the five-colored bead grew slightly, but the density of the energy swirling within it also increased.

By closing the ‘crack’, ‘Five Elements Jinryonghwan’ grew.

To say that I grew up through the experience of fighting against the Sea Orc champion, I did not gain any inspiration from the content of that battle. Cardenas’ bloodline, which is a natural enemy of , seemed to gain growth experience by destroying the medium.

The reason why the 7th Knights maintain their ridiculous combat power every generation may be similar.

and.

Coo!

A single burst of alcohol resounds within Leonard’s body, and the amount of energy circulating from the lower part to the middle part increases significantly.

Not only but even a small boundary was broken through.

External force mirror 7th stage.

There were now only four steps left until the Transcendental View.
