Sword Emperor Reincarnated as a Sword Master Chapter 34

Geomje reincarnated as a swordsmith (34)

It was some time after that.

As always, as soon as the sun went down, the entire island was covered in thick darkness. Except for a few watchtowers where the Dragon Knights are stationed, there is no human territory, and the wild land itself appears to be showing its fangs.

Monsters that cannot be seen during the day crawl out of their lairs, and the seemingly harmless natural environment turns into an enemy.

Leonard’s eyes, as he watched the change, turned somewhere.

‘A large-scale presence is moving. Apprentice knights and the Yuryong Knights are on their way to night training.’

Although the distance was separated by kilometers, from the moment he broke through the external force mirror, his sense of energy became several times sharper.

To understand each person’s movements in detail, 100 pages (300m) would be the limit no matter how focused you were, but it was easy to notice that hundreds of people were moving in the same direction.

It was time for Leonard to make a move too.

“… “I guess I won’t be able to use reverse magic today.”

Hayden, Ian, and Gail are all on a night training trip, and if anyone sees him, they will become deadly suspicious.

Even though attention was relatively reduced, it was impossible to let down one’s guard.

So Leonard took out a wolf skin that he had stored in his subspace pocket, an object that now looked like clothes. If you get close, you’ll be noticed right away, but if you see it from a distance, you won’t know if it’s a person or a lycanthrope.

Also, it was not only useful as camouflage clothing.

Since it is the skin of a Jinma Kyeong-level monster, its defense power is also considerable, so it will not even be scratched by most attacks.

‘Well, now that you can use self-defense, it will be rare to have to rely on this leather.’

Leonard thought so and took a step forward.

The body covered in dark blue wolf skin gradually fades, becoming unrecognizable even before our eyes.

It was a martial skill he acquired when he killed the assassins from Hwangcheongak and pushed them back to their base. Not only the visual appearance but also the sense of smell and hearing can be deceived to some extent.

‘The downside was that it consumed too much internal energy.’

This was the reason why Leonard could not use it during his soft body period.

From now on, I could continue to maintain it even while practicing light attack.

Faaah!

He jumped up by kicking the ground once, stepped on a tree branch, and used the repulsion from his weight to bounce his body.

Gungsintanyeong (弓身彈影) using tree branches rather than one’s own body.

Leonard’s body is shot out like a stone shot from a slingshot.

If the speed seemed to drop a little, I went through a similar process again and repeated the acceleration, so I was able to cover a similar distance as if I had run at full power while consuming almost no stamina.

Although it was said that 90 years worth of internal power was gained by breaking through the external force world, there were still a lot of undisclosed threats on this island.

You must save your strength in case of an unexpected situation.

‘It’s , so it must be full of nocturnal monsters.’

It was just as Leonard had thought.

.

The danger level during the day was only two skeletons, but at night it fluctuated to three and a half skeletons. It was said that it was changing to a level more dangerous than the depths of .

This was because most of the monsters occupying the upper level of the food chain in this area were not active during sunrise hours.

Duerga, a dwarf monster that lives under the ground like a mole.

Battling, a batman hanging upside down in a dark cave.

Shadowhound, a wild dog that cannot maintain its shape under sunlight.

However, in , there was only one race of monsters that could be considered the strongest.

‘Owlbear, I’m curious about what it looks like.’

A bear with the head of an owl?

Like the troll, it was registered as B rank and was a monster with a mixture of beast-type and bird-type characteristics.

Cardenas’ rating is higher than that of trolls, but lower than that of ogres. Does it feel like a B rank, closer to A rank? Like the red troll, entities that enter the True Demon Realm are also opponents who must not let down their guard.

“oh.”

Leonard, who had seen in just a few tens of minutes, was filled with admiration without realizing it.

Unlike forests or swamps, the open plains were shining softly with the moonlight pouring down from the sky.

If only for the scenery alone, it could definitely be called a scenic spot.

however.

‘He sensed me. ‘I’m still using the Zhanwol Wusangkong (殘月無常功), and it’s looking exactly in the direction I’m standing in.’

Leonard, who felt the gaze and the ability to see through the system of hiding, dispersed the fog that had enveloped his body.

Then, eyes flocked to him from all over Owl Plain, looking at him as if they were about to dissect him. It was proof that most of the monsters living here had exceptional eyesight.

If you’re going to come, come anytime.

Leonard’s grip twitches slightly, indicating that he is ready to draw his sword at any time.

But something happened that went far beyond expectations.

“… “You’re not coming?”

Leonard, who had a dejected expression on his face, looked around for no reason.

It looked like it was going to attack me from all directions at any moment, but suddenly it even hid its gaze and hid.

It was an expression of intention that I would never fight with him.

This is one of the tricky parts of .

Unlike monsters that live in sunny areas, monsters that roam in the shade have a thorough calculation of their profits and losses. If it feels even the slightest bit dangerous, it withdraws and hides until the opportunity arises. What if the opportunity doesn’t come? Just don’t touch it.

‘Is his temperament closer to that of Hao Wen than that of Sapa?’

Leonard frowned as he recalled his memories from his martial arts days.

Due to their nature, warriors who belong to the sado (邪道) are usually weak to the strong and strong to the weak. By offering bribes to their superiors, they exploit their subordinates and take out their resentment against the strong on the weak.

However, unlike the magician who is strong in self-respect and obeys everything from top to bottom, the apostle works behind the scenes. He pours poison into the superior’s teacup, puts a black box on his bed, and stabs him from behind with a knife.

He bows his head to the strong man he sees in front, but from the moment he turns his back, he reveals his mean-spirited malice.

however.

‘Haomun, the miscellaneous ways are more heterogeneous than that.’

Those with deep roots in Haomun only thought of their own lives as the top priority, and they were the worst kind of merchants, selling all their colleagues and allies for that purpose.

A group of scum that has the nature of a bat to stick to one side and the other, plus the habits of an insect that seeks only to survive without any faith or pride.

Leonard pulled out his sword while recalling that unpleasant memory.

“If you guys won’t come, then I will have to go.”

They weren’t the only ones who had the talent to detect stealth. The feeling of energy, which is several times wider and several times more detailed than during the soft body mirror, becomes even more sensitive when you pour in your mental power.

If the monsters in want to avoid him, all you have to do is go find them and cut them all down.

It was that moment.

“——Hoo.”

The nerves that had been sharp for a while due to the bad relationship with Hao Mun calmed down, and the eyes that were shining with murder became clear again.

This was because there was a figure approaching quickly towards Leonard.

Big and strong.

They are approaching him, leaping tens, perhaps more than a hundred meters in a single leap. Even when the energy is not extended, you can feel the ground vibrating from afar.

‘You’re here!’

What finally appeared in his sight was the shape of a bear gliding vigorously over the plain.

Owl Bear.

The ruling race of appeared immediately.

Its lovely fur was pure white from head to toe, and the two sparkling eyes on its owl-shaped head were those of a bird of prey.

Although its body length was a little less than 3 meters, its weight seemed to be heavier than that of a troll.

‘But the body movements are more agile and smooth. ‘Is it because of the characteristics of the bird type?’

Although they look very cute on the outside, bears and owls are animals that reign at the top of the food chain in the ecosystem. If the monster that only accepts the strengths of those two races is called the Owl Bear, it is an enemy that should never be underestimated.

As if in response to his thoughts, the Owl Bear, which had come a short distance away, roared loudly.

Kkuiiiiiiig—!

It was an unexpected roar.

Perhaps because the cries of bears and owls were mixed together, a sound that was as cute as I heard it echoed in the middle of the plain.

Even Leonard was so embarrassed for a moment that he was a beat late.

Quaaaang!

The paw swung by the Owl Bear cuts through the ground, leaving an ugly crater in its place.

“Huh, the beast is crying so cutely.”

Leonard retreated, leaving behind several afterimages, and secured a gap of up to 5 meters before raising his sword.

Owl Bear’s strength was confirmed.

Although it is a Holy Demon level, it is a bit stronger than a troll of the same level, and is considered to be at the top of the B2 level. The Ogre of Lord Demon is a monster that can be defeated in a one-on-one fight.

Although it was not very impressive to Leonard.

“Well, isn’t it easy to encounter Jinma Kyung-class from the beginning?”

Even if it were the middle of the night, the risk would be four skeletons. For level B3, the recommendation was to run away with your life even when the trainee knights were in a group.

In the case of the self-destruction of the red troll he faced last time, it would have been difficult for even Bradley to avoid being seriously injured.

Even though only two of them are dead, they are large enough to cause a large-scale territorial dispute.

That was the monster that reached the True Demon Realm.

Quiiiiii!

The Owl Bear must have realized that Leonard was ignoring him, so it puffed out its chest covered in pure white fur and became angry.

At the same time, a sharp wind swirled around the guy’s body.

The power to control the wind.

As the grass growing under the Owl Bear’s feet is mowed, the debris is scattered.

‘Is it really the attribute of gold? I should think that the defense power of the fur and body has also increased considerably.’

I had guessed it from the moment I saw the pure white fur, but after checking it again, Leonard lowered his sword.

The five elemental attribute that corresponds to the opposite polarity of metal is fire.

Five elements sword energy

Flame seal (炎刃)

A haze swirls around the sword, which is turning red as if only the blade had been dipped in a furnace.

The atmosphere, which had been cooled by the night air, is gradually heating up.

Wow!?

Just as all wild and flying animals are afraid of fire, the Owl Bear was startled by the heat and took a step back.

But Leonard had no intention of looking any further.

It goes just a little deeper than it retreated from.

The Five Elements and Six Gods Law

red sun

The treasure of fire

pop! And a loud bang erupted from Leonard’s heels.

If the dam of water currents is the five arts that dodge even the pouring rain, this is the five arts that go straight ahead and overtake even the storm of thunderbolts.

A shock wave is generated behind the body that momentarily surpasses the speed of sound, and the body protected by the self-defense device throbs from the recoil. Nevertheless, the grip that wields the blade cannot be shaken.

A red sword light flashed.

Jump!

One of Owlbear’s huge arms was cut off without any resistance, and blood was sprayed as it spun several times in the air.

Just by looking at the charred cross section, you could tell how much heat was staying in the blade. Firepower that blocks regenerative power at its source. If given just a few minutes, the fire penetrated into the body would even burn and destroy the Owl Bear’s internal organs.

Kyuiii!? What!? Wow!

The pain of having my arm cut off and the pain of fire burning inside my body.

When the cutting pain and burning pain hit him at the same time, he even forgot about the situation and rolled around on the ground.

It was an attempt to somehow extinguish the fire stuck inside the body, but it didn’t make much sense. Because Leonard’s Five Element Qi was several times stronger and more numerous than that guy’s mana.

Still, his painful life did not last long.

Phew!

As a thin red line was drawn down the neck, the head of the Owl Bear, which was howling sadly, popped up.

It was a vain death for a B2 grade monster.
