Sword Emperor Reincarnated as a Sword Master Chapter 25

Geomje reincarnated as a swordsmith (25)

As the Galapagos Islands are dangerous and large, the burden of work on the Dragon Knights in charge of the island is as great.

Each and every one of them was a strong 6th dan or higher in the External Power Sutra, and it was common for them to run around here day and night and without holidays.

However, since the salary is paid several times higher than in other regions, it can be said that their peaceful daily life involves surviving each day while waiting for a few days of vacation a year.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

“Oh, is it a shift?”

Frankie, an intermediate knight of the Yuryong Knights, waved his hand as he welcomed the junior knight who came to visit him.

The watchtower was 30 meters high, but for them, it was a height they could climb in a few leaps. Grady, a mid-level technician who arrived a few minutes ahead of his shift, put down the luggage he brought and spoke to Frankie.

“Senior, did you hear that?”

Frankie asked back.

“What are you listening to? “Did anything interesting happen?”

“This is Ardnoll, who was gaining strength in .”

“Ah, that Nurikkili guy? “I think he’s slowly reached level 3. Did he have an accident?”

was an area of ​​little interest to them, but the Ardnole Chieftain was a little special.

An achievement that is close to the True Demon Sutra and a body naturally accustomed to the powerful attribute Mana. If it reached level 3, it was something that those who had just ascended to the level of external power could not handle.

The apprentice knights didn’t go to the , perhaps because they weren’t making enough money, so their surveillance was somewhat neglected.

Could it be that someone died or was seriously injured during that time?

“He died.”

“what!? who!”

“It’s that Adnoll. “When they found the body, even the bone marrow had already been eaten away, so they couldn’t tell who did it.”

Frankie’s eyes narrowed in surprise.

“Was there a monster that could kill him? “Its defense isn’t much different from level 3, so it would have been difficult to kill it.”

Even if you could cut off the hair at the beginner level of External Power Sutra, cutting the bones was an area where it was impossible.

That was the reason why they fled for their lives from the center of the island. If the level of danger was two or more, it was not a place where a D2 grade person could survive safely.

“According to the traces left on the fragments of the skull, the blade was driven under the chin, pierced through the brain, and all the way to the top of the head. “I killed him with one straight sword.”

“Our kids are not good at it.”

Grady also nodded, saying as he said.

“Among bachelors, there are few talented people who can do that. “I was wondering if you were a senior, but I guess you weren’t?”

“Is this bastard looking at me now? do you want to die?”

Frankie playfully tapped his head a few times, then quickly returned his expression to its original state and said,

“Didn’t someone earn some pocket money while patrolling? Anyway, the plan was to chase or subdue that Adnoll inside the forest once it reached level 3. “There wouldn’t have been any problem.”

“Yes, Banneret said so too.”

“Then don’t dig any further. There’s no need for your seniors to look at you with hate, right? “If you get picked on by a guy with a bad personality, you’re going to have a hard time.”

Grady quickly agreed with some hesitation.

“What you said is correct, senior. “I was focused on solving my curiosity, so I never even thought about it.”

“It’s the only side job on this island, so it’s an unwritten rule not to mess with each other. “No one hates having more souls just because the salary is good.”

Frankie, who gave him advice, looked at the distant mountain for a moment and then asked a question that suddenly occurred to him.

It was the story of a boy who had been talked about for a while even within the Dragon Knights.

“Now that I think about it, what is the new first year doing? “I think it’s already been three months, but I haven’t heard a single word.”

Grady also thought, “Ah,” and remembered his existence.

“Ah, you mean Leonard. This is because it is rare for me to come out of the house. “I heard that even if you go out, you go out and grab some berries, mushrooms, or fish.”

“I guess you’re planning on continuing to practice until you reach the 5th level of Yeonchegyeong? It will take some time since it is a penta core. “It’s fortunate that the child is sincere.”

“Bannaret said that I have the qualifications to achieve it within half a year, so it will be released within three months. From then on, we will have to focus on management.”

Among the apprentice knights, even the one who was said to be the weakest had reached the 10th level of the Soft Body Mirror, and most of them had surpassed the 1st level of the External Force Mirror.

On this island, Yeonchegyeong 5th Dan could only survive, and even if he was unlucky, he would die unexpectedly. This is something that intermediate knights should watch with their eyes wide open.

“It looks like you received a lot of spirit stones? “As long as you can break through 5th tier with Pentacore without hunting.”

“I heard there are 3,000 Yawn Spirit Stones alone. Not only did he come from a collateral background, but he won first place without a sponsor. There was even a rumor that he made a mark on Director Fabian.”

Frankie, with his lips rounded at those words, shouted.

“Key! If only the core had been better, it would have been an elite course. “It’s such a waste, such a waste.”

My thoughts about Leonard ended there.

“What about the 4th year kids? How are you been?”

“It was quite usable. “It’s a problem because you keep trying to go into dangerous places, but you have to have that level of spirit.”

“Tsk, the day will come when you get a big nose injury… .”

“Aren’t we here to prepare for such a situation?”

The voices of the two people flowed through the wind from the high watchtower, but did not go far before fading away.

It is an island with no entertainment.

Their chat continued for quite some time.

* * *

It was then.

“Hitch it!”

As always, after finishing one hunt, the young man who came to look around the newbie’s residence sneezed loudly.

It was a very rare event for a warrior who had broken through the outer force realm.

“What is it, Hayden? “Have you caught a cold?”

Gale, a young man with a head taller than the other two, giggled and made fun of him.

I was impressed by the dark tan color of his skin, perhaps due to the island’s strong sunlight.

At those words, the person called Hayden raised his eyes.

“Would it be possible for a two-bodied person to catch a cold or something like that? “Someone must have cursed at me somewhere.”

“It seems like you realize that you deserve to be criticized. “That’s surprising.”

“shut up!”

Ian, a young man who watched the two bickering people with a pitiful expression, let out a deep and long sigh.

“Please listen up, you idiots.”

“Are you holding it?”

As Gale shook the sword in his hand, Ian’s expression became grim.

Even though we were going together year after year, I couldn’t calmly accept that terrible sense of humor. Hayden seemed to be feeling the same way, as he slapped the guy on the back of the head.

“You little brat, don’t talk nonsense and put the knife in. “If the seniors see it, they’ll be in big trouble.”

“why?”

“How would you look if you walked around with a knife around the house of a first-year recruit? A senior who came to be nice to you? or not?”

“… “They must be bastards who came to eat a flea’s liver.”

Gale, convinced by his bitter words, sheathed her sword.

“Don’t forget. “Because we have to remain ‘good seniors’ to our juniors who are having a hard time living on this island.”

This was something Ian had said several times, but Hayden asked back, looking less convinced.

“Is that kid worth it? “It’s not a spirit stone, it’s just a matter of sharing a meal, but there is absolutely no guarantee that what you gave will be returned.”

“You are mistaken too.”

Most people approach things that way and end up doing it wrong.

Ian, who learned interpersonal relationships and political maneuvering from a young age, knew this well.

“Network is built without expectations. It’s similar to tapping a mineral vein that might explode at any moment. “If one person in a hundred or even one person in a thousand has a proper relationship, it is more meaningful than a million idiots.”

“Hoo.”

“Besides, I also received a letter of recommendation from Director Fabian for that first year. It’s something that has never happened before. “It’s definitely worth looking forward to.”

Hayden and Gail were impressed by his explanation for a moment, but soon they spoke with displeased expressions.

This was because there was no sign of Leonard leaving the house again today.

“Isn’t it only when you have connections, know each other, and can see each other’s face that you have an opportunity? “It’s always a waste of money.”

“Okay, are you a little shy? Or maybe the time zone is bad.”

Ian scratched the back of his head, put down the container containing the dried fish in front of the door, and turned around.

“Well, let’s take it slow. “It looks like you have no intention of leaving the island.”

“Now that I think about it, it’s already been three months. “Who won the bet?”

“It’s invalid. “You’re all wrong.”

“The person with the longest wins. “It’s my victory.”

““Don’t be damned!””

The three of them walked away like that, and they didn’t know until the end.

From a tree, they looked at the uninvited guests who came to their front door, and saw the presence of Leonard, whom they had hoped to meet.

“… Although their behavior is a bit frivolous, they are children with good hearts.”

Leonard was secretly impressed.

‘Even the later exponents of the prestigious families and the great clans were many whose mentality was rotten despite their skills.’

Not to mention Sapa and Mado, the same was true for Odaesegawa and Gupa Ilbang, which can be said to be the faces of Jeongdo Murim.

Not only did they intimidate or exploit the warriors of powerless clans, but even within their own clans, they would often release poison and hire assassins to thwart rivals.

It was extremely ugly to become servile in front of the strong and arrogant in front of the weak.

‘But even if the children of this family turn their heads, they don’t go down the wrong path and try to get what they want by showing good intentions.’

Even when he behaved obnoxiously, it could be seen as childish behavior, which made Leonard, who was only young on the outside, look cute.

‘I should remember it and at least teach it later. Was it Gail, Hayden, or Ian?’

The reason I observed the three people on the tree was simple.

In order to perform a reverse technique, it was necessary to carefully look at and refer to the person’s facial features, mood, and even body language.

And Leonard encountered a problem he had not thought of before.

‘The color of the hair is the problem. In the midfield, I didn’t even have to change my hair color, so I didn’t pay much attention. I guess I’ll just have to borrow the looks of Hayden and Ian.’

Unlike Hayden and Ian, who had blonde hair, Gail had brown hair and bronze skin, making it difficult to imitate.

His physique was larger than those of the other two, giving him a strong sense of incongruity.

After thinking about the two people’s appearance for a moment, Leonard’s hands moved like lightning, regularly pressing and rubbing several acupuncture points on my face.

It was a counter-use technique that he had acquired through killing a hundred-faced ghost and using the secret weapon from its arms.

Crunch, crunch, crack, crack.

Unlike the horrifying sound of bones, there was almost no pain.

Leonard didn’t stop his hands for several minutes.

and.

“hmm.”

Leonard, who did the same thing as Hayden’s twin, confirmed the result by looking at the reflection of his sword.

“Is it okay considering it’s been a while?”

If you sit it in front of you and look at it carefully, you might be able to find something different, but that’s unlikely to happen.

Another advantage was that there was no need to fix it internally.

Excluding the internal energy used during the first point-pointing, it was a technique that could be maintained semi-permanently. It was also the reason why Baekmyeonguido was able to roam around Gangho for over ten years.

He would have lived longer if he hadn’t tried to steal Yeon Moo-hyeok’s suitcase, who unfortunately stayed in the same guesthouse.

‘Preparations to enter the island are all complete.’

Leonard’s eyes flashed brightly for a moment.

10th level of softness!

The amount of internal energy boiling inside the body had increased dozens of times compared to before. This is why it is said that if you cross the 6th stage of Yeonchegyeong, you will be caught immediately.

Not only the Danjeon, but also the blood vessels and meridians expanded, so that the entire body was shaking with waves of energy.

Kiiiiing.

And on the surface of Leonard’s sword, red, black, blue, white, and yellow sword energy rose one after another and then disappeared.

Five elements sword energy.

In martial terms, it would have reached the pinnacle of excellence.

‘If I break through the external force mirror, I’ll have to prepare four more swords.’

As the Cheonma Dan Mok-jin said, I was planning to practice at least the sword technique. Trying to complete the Five Colors Ganggi from the beginning was greedy, so if you build up slowly from the foundation, you will be able to reach it more easily.

“The sun will set soon.”

Leonard looked up at the western sky while thinking so.

The sun was going down.

Naturally, the dark night favored monsters more than humans, and there were almost no apprentice knights active during that time. Therefore, the number of eyes watching them has also decreased. This was because not only the number of people, but also the distance and accuracy of what could be seen from the watchtower were greatly reduced.

Therefore, even if Leonard enters the island, the possibility of finding him becomes slim.

Sigh.

This was even more so when the stealth function was used.

Leonard, whose presence had faded like a ghost, began to walk into the island without hesitation.

A land where D2-rank monsters such as Adnoll are in charge of corpse cleaning, and B-rank monsters such as trolls are also frequently seen.

To .

After only three months in the first year, he entered the full-scale competition for survival on this island with only a 10-dan Yeonchegyeong skill.
