Sword Emperor Reincarnated as a Sword Master Chapter 209

Sword Emperor Reincarnated as a Swordsmith (209)

“Whoa.”

Leonard unconsciously let out a long sigh and lowered his sword.

‘… It’s been quite a while since I felt this exhausted.’

In just a few tens of seconds, the Danjeon, which had been as vast as the sea, was empty, and all the blood vessels I had exerted while scraping the bottom were throbbing. It was a shame because I had greatly reduced my power consumption with Seongi, otherwise I would have likely had to pull out Seoncheonjingi.

Even the Dragon Heart could not handle the exhaustion, and was recovering its energy by beating dozens of times per second. Normally, I would have regained more than half of my strength by taking three or four deep breaths, but my spirit did not fill up, as if I had been defeated.

In addition to the internal injuries suffered from Boreas’ sniping, the problem was the excessive use of the ‘Cross Fist’ to block the sandstorm.

“I guess I overdid it.”

Wade, who saw right through the situation, said.

“Just activating mental martial arts at the transcendental level would be quite a burden. But it seems like I wrote it twice in a row without any time difference, so I can’t help but feel overwhelmed.”

“I had no choice but to overdo it.”

“Know. “If it weren’t for either Captain Uruka or you, one section of the barrier train would have been closed.”

It was Wade who struck the decisive blow against Boreas and forced Cybele to retreat, but they were the ones responsible for leading that situation.

I activated and moved as quickly as possible, but the sandstorm created by the two magic kings stopped with less than 50 meters left. If Leonard had not overexerted himself, the sandstorm would have hit the train before Wade arrived.

If that had happened, the casualties would have been enormous, but the train’s speed would have slowed down significantly due to major damage to the train body. It was a situation where the operation success rate may have dropped by more than 10 percent.

“I heard that Vulcanus was also reverse-summoned due to the two people’s activities.”

Instead of praising it directly, Wade diverted his words.

“They say Yggdrasil can bring them back, but in the meantime, the barrier train’s advance will become even smoother. “This is a record that is worthy of being considered a victory.”

Even the sacred trees and world trees, which were famous as symbols of life creation in the past, were all rotting, so it was not easy to revive the royal kings.

Referring to the records showing that it takes three to four days to resurrect a single king of magic, this means that it will take at least another week for Boreas and Vulcan to be sent to the front again.

From the perspective of the expedition team, which had to suppress the attrition of leader-level leaders as much as possible, the results were enormous.

“Seniors.”

At that time, Uruka asked Wade.

“Now that I think about it, the closest knight commander in this area would have been Grace. Why did you move?”

“Director Grace is stranded in Thetis.”

To this seemingly obvious question, an immediate answer came back.

“I guess he was trying to hinder Leonard from going to support you and him. No, since I didn’t know about the existence of this artifact, I might have planned to just kill Leonard and run away right away.”

When Wade held up his wrist, an artifact similar to Leonard’s fluttered and an engraved magic circle faintly flickered.

I heard that the limit on the number of activations is three, so Leonard’s bracelet can now only be used twice. Since the magic kings also knew of its existence, the area where Leonard was located was a weak spot and they would not be able to boldly attack again.

Moreover, since the available troops have been reduced from 4 to 2, they may be confined to the deepest part without attempting any more attacks.

‘It is said that the closer you are to Yggdrasil, the stronger the power of the Witch King becomes, but with only Thetis and Cybele, it would be impossible for even two leaders to get close to the train.’

I had nothing to say about Thetis because I hadn’t faced her yet, but Cybele, who had fought with her twice, was definitely less skilled and capable of fighting than Boreas or Vulcan. He didn’t think that he could do anything to the leaders just by increasing his strength.

“Let’s talk more about the rest once we get back on the train. “Every minute and every second is a waste, so stopping should not be prolonged.”

Uruka and Leonard followed Wade’s words and launched themselves.

As soon as the three reached the barrier train, Uruka gave the order to advance on her own authority, and a rumbling sound rang out from inside the barrier train, and the wheels began to roll.

6 days until the area where Yggdrasil can intervene in earnest.

The expedition team on the barrier train continued to advance toward a land that was still unknown in the history of the Green Dragon Knights.

* * *

The unprecedented incident of three magic kings attacking at the same time spread throughout the barrier train in less than a day.

Even the Green Dragon Knights, who had experienced all kinds of battles on this front, could not even imagine a case where three magic kings attacked together.

This was because, due to its nature, the more powerful a Spriggan was, the more unable it was to move away from its territory. Among them, there was nothing more to say about the apex being, the Witch King. Now that the barrier train has entered deep into the territory, they are now able to move freely.

“Did you hear that story?”

“story? Oh, the special officer and leader didn’t stop the three magic kings, so they reverse-summoned one?”

“okay! Even so, is it true that a specially appointed officer who is nothing more than a transcendental officer can be that active? I honestly found it hard to believe. “Just the fact that you guided that guy last time was a great feat.”

There is probably no one who can say that they know the true nature of antipathy better than the 7 Knights of Cardenas.

To them, the anti-shinshin and knight commander were both idols and the equivalent of a martial god who had descended on this earth. Even though they continued to train their martial arts every single day, there were no people who boasted that they would be able to reach that level on their own.

The sight of demigod-level beings clashing against each other was enough to break the hearts of the knights, making them no different from those who had once overcome the feeling of being a veteran in the Seven Great Knights.

It was natural to doubt Leonard’s skills and performance.

but.

“hey! Ricardo! Sorry, but the story is true. “Special officer, Sir Leonard’s area was in my area!”

“I saw it too. “The last technique used was truly terrifying!”

Unlike word of mouth, there were more than one eyewitness, so those who doubted its authenticity soon had to accept the reality. This time, just because the area was different or because I couldn’t see it with my own eyes, I couldn’t be an exception.

The fact that a boy half my age, or even half that age, was closer to antipathy than anyone else.

The feat of defeating the King of Yoyo while standing shoulder to shoulder with the leaders whom they only looked up to as idols.

“What on earth were we doing when a child under the age of 20 was acting like that?”

“They say it was that special officer who improved the magic circle of the barrier train.”

“You’ve reached the level of a sword master, but you’re also excellent at magic?”

In the minds of the knights who participated in the expedition, Leonard had already become something like the second coming of the founder Cardenas.

Some people scoffed, but others got fired up.

In the end, among the knights who could not suppress their curiosity, there was one who went to visit Audrey, the knight commander whose friendship was confirmed through word of mouth.

“Hoo? “Leonard’s rumor has spread so much?”

Audrey, who had relaxed as the two magic kings were reverse summoned, asked back with an amused expression.

“Yes, Captain Audrey. “Some people praise him as the second coming of the founder, while others think he is the illegitimate son of the matriarch.”

“Ahahaha! He must have lived two to three times longer than that child, but even though his boys are all grown up, they are still immature. Well, if I were the same age as you, I think we might have had similar conversations.”

Audrey laughed, even twitching the scars on her face, but soon returned to a calm expression and said,

“What I can tell you is that Leonard is more than just a rumor. “Do you understand?”

Without mentioning the previous fight, Leonard was an unprecedented being just looking at the achievements he left behind in the Black Dragon Knights.

What if I claim to be the second coming of the founder Cardenas, who brought Audrey a few steps forward after being stagnant for decades? A boy so outstanding that it makes you smile.

“… understand.”

The Green Dragon Knight, who sensed the sincerity in Audrey’s words, trembled.

What on earth is that boy?

The story that came out of the short and useful meeting soon spread throughout the Green Dragon Knights and the Blue Dragon Knights, and there were fewer people who did not know than those who knew.

Special Officer Leonard.

Numerous people’s eyes focused on the next-generation divinity, who was gathering himself after defeating the Witch Kings.

”’I want to know more about the special officer.”’

And Leonard, who became a hot potato on the barrier train,

“Is this enough for Ungiyo-san?… .”

Four days after closing my eyes as if sitting in meditation on the bedroom floor, my eyes opened and I stood up on my own.

The internal injuries sustained from Boreas’ sniping were not serious, but what came next was the problem. As I was trying to raise not only my strength but also my inner strength, my internal injuries worsened.

Every time I broke through the Great Boundary, my body became closer to that of a dragon, and if my blood vessels had not become stronger, my heart veins might have ruptured.

Leonard’s eyes narrowed as he squeezed my palm.

‘Still, the image itself became stronger as I implemented . From next time, Oui’s reaction will be lessened.’

If I had to pick one thing that was disappointing, it would be that there was nothing he could learn from Cybele.

As the king of tricks, his method of pushing forward with only his natural status and output came across as crude. I even felt like I was looking at a simpleton who had been drinking elixirs since childhood, had increased his strength to a few degrees, and was only capable of shooting at random plants.

Of course, it is acknowledged that it is an effective way to exercise the power of ‘corruption’, but it is meaningless when confronting a strong anti-corruption person.

‘I don’t want to be impatient, but getting to the halfway point is the most urgent priority.’

There was a limit to the situations that could be handled with only a temporary increase in rank, and there were no magic kings like Cybele who simply insisted on ignorant methods.

That was why he was injured by Boreas’ sniping.

In a state where the ship is not in use, or even in a state in which all of them are in use, it is a little late for a surprise attack made by a demigod.

Because I sensed it with my long eyes, it was half a beat, and if I had responded honestly, it would have been one beat late and my upper body would have exploded. Considering the unknown enemy like Tethys, breaking through the Great Border was essential.

“hmm.”

It was then.

The atmosphere of the entire train suddenly seemed to be in turmoil.

As soon as he sensed the change, Leonard left the private room and jumped to the upper deck of the train, looking around.

I don’t know why, but let alone the number of eyes looking at him, a chill ran down Leonard’s spine when he saw the forest stretching in the direction of the barrier train.

‘… It’s dark? The sun is rising?’

Even though the sun was still shining, the forest was covered in darkness as thick as midnight.

Something was twisting the laws of the world to its will.

‘It is completely different from Ban Shin’s mental martial arts and Heo Shin’s power.’

Although we can see with the dragon’s eye, the incomprehensible laws of the world are coloring the land and air, swallowing up space and time.

There is no significant difference from the control that a wizard exerts with a circle ring.

Except for the fact that all of the mana that exists inside that forest is under the control of Yggdrasil, making most magic, not to mention space movement, useless.

Kudddddddddd.

Eventually, the speed of the barrier train gradually slowed down, and it came to a complete stop a few hundred meters away from the forest.

I felt certain that if we went further than that, not even the train would be safe. The realm of the world tree Yggdrasil. Leonard instinctively sensed that fact and placed his hand on the hilt of his sword. It seemed as if Spriggans were going to jump out of that dense forest at any moment.

There was not even a single insect, let alone the sound of birds, so the forest, which felt even more ominous, was just quiet.

‘It feels like crawling into the jaws of a tiger.’

Unlike Leonard, most of the knights who had not been able to look into the nature of the forest were excited. It seemed like the Green Dragon Knights’ long-cherished wish, the subjugation of Yggdrasil, was just around the corner.

However, ignoring the cheers of the Green Dragon Knights, Leonard looked ahead to a cruel future.

It was definitely true.

Most of the casualties of this subjugation operation will come from there.

“Lord Leonard!”

A green dragon knight running from the left area approached him.

“Captain Uruka has called you! “They are discussing the formation of a death squad before entering there!”

“All right.”

Leonard felt that his expression was both urgent and excited, so he secretly swallowed a bitter smile and turned around.

The adage that a person sees as much as he knows has never been more cruel than it is now.

‘Even though you heard it was a death squad, didn’t you realize it?’

Only Leonard and the general managers knew.

In that forest, everyone must be prepared to die.

Until today, all the battlefields that the expedition has crossed were nothing more than skirmishes.

Leaving behind Heather, who was cheering among the Green Dragon Knights, Leonard, on top of his sword, was launched into Area C. It was a face without a single trace of laughter.
