Geomje reincarnated as a swordsmith (37)
“———Ugh!”
The 30th shadow of Cruzis, the knight who had abandoned his own name, opened his eyes and vomited blood.
As soon as he regained consciousness, what he felt was intense pain that was felt both inside and outside of his body. The throbbing in his chest every time he breathed was evidence that several of his ribs were broken, and seeing as he was unable to breathe through his nose, his nasal bone was also crushed.
The mana hole was empty, so it was impossible to create aura or increase recovery ability.
Serious injury.
There was no major threat to life, but it was impossible to continue the battle.
“I guess I’ve figured out the situation.”
It was then.
In the mind of the shadow knight, whose consciousness was still unclear, the baby demon of Cardenas, who had blocked himself, appeared.
Hatred greater than fear bursts out from the mouth.
“you! this guy! Cárdenas’s devil! You’re making fun of my sword and pride with a mean trick! “I will never forgive you!”
Surprisingly, in his mind, the ugly struggle he had lost had turned into a righteous fight against the seeds of evil and defeat by the enemy’s cowardly tricks.
Even Leonard was at a loss for words because he did not understand the expression.
Since he couldn’t win with swordsmanship, it wasn’t something the guy who neutralized the sword and attacked with his fists should say.
‘Did you hit your head too hard? ‘You shouldn’t measure a person’s durability based on Cardenas standards.’
I don’t know if he suffered brain damage from being hit by horizontal and byeok fists in succession. I was quite confident in controlling my strength, but this was the only way I could interpret this situation.
Unsure of how he accepted his silence, the Shadow Knight stiffly raised his head, his body only able to move above his head.
“You paralyzed my body with evil magic! “Are you so afraid of fighting this body fair and square?”
Leonard, who had listened up to that point, could not bear it any longer and raised his hand.
Bah!
With one punch, the Shadow Knight’s lip burst and several teeth popped out. You might not know it if you are using internal energy, but if you hit it purely with your body, this is the result.
Although he was not aware of it, Leonard’s physical ability, which even imitated the heart of a dragon and transformed his entire body into a dragon, was becoming unprecedented.
“I guess my fist hurts too much? I see that you still can’t come to your senses and are talking nonsense. “Let me come to my senses.”
Seeing her face covered in blood after a single blow, Leonard struck her cheek with the palm of her hand instead of her fist.
The Shadow Knight, who was shouting with his eyes wide open at first, soon became quiet. It is not torture with a purpose, and since they just beat you up without asking any questions, your will is bound to break.
Lastly, Leonard poured the bottle of potion he was carrying onto his face, which was swollen to an indiscernible size.
“If you have something to say, say more.”
“… … .”
The eyes of the Shadow Knight, who had been silenced by the merciless violence, trembled with deep anger, but he did not shout any further.
Leonard, satisfied with his reaction, nodded.
“It looks like you’re finally ready to talk.”
The thirtieth shadow gritted its teeth and chewed out the words.
“… I have nothing to say to Akjong and the like. “Kill him.”
“The right to life and death belongs to the winner. “You have no right to tell me to kill you.”
Leonard responded to that with a snort.
While he was unconscious, most of his entire body’s blood flow was occupied, so it was impossible to attempt suicide using a special technique.
Since all equipment, from armor to gaiters, had been removed, it was impossible to create an unexpected situation with magic items.
“shall we start. “Where does this guy come from?”
“… … .”
“Hmm, maybe we didn’t have enough hawks?”
The thirtieth shadow flinched reflexively at those words, but cried out with its eyes burning with venom.
“No matter how many times I try, my mouth will never open! “You bastard who inherited an unclean lineage!”
“Unholy bloodline… ? “Cardenas?”
“okay! Are you going to deny the sin that flows in your blood?”
In response to Leonard’s sincere question, the Shadow Knight raised his voice as if pleading, even if it was his own injustice.
“If you grew up in that evil family, you wouldn’t know either! You guys are not human! “It means that humans are neither that strong nor born with consistent talent!”
“Hoo?”
“If there is no secret hidden in your blood, why are you preventing even the remnants of that bloodline from leaking out of the country? “If a legitimate source exists, there is no way it could be covered up like that!”
Leonard was able to learn things he didn’t know by hearing the shouting of a man who had lost his senses, perhaps intoxicated by his own words.
Cardenas’ lineage is questioned.
It is also managed to prevent collateral blood relatives from escaping abroad.
And what this man truly wants, and what contradictions exist in the words he cries out.
“There is not much I can say in response, but I understand one thing.”
“What!”
“You guys didn’t come here to say we are evil or to destroy sin. “They just want to steal the secrets that exist in Cardenas and possess the power they don’t have.”
He was a down-to-earth murderer who was completely absorbed in the source of his inferiority complex, which he himself had been ignoring.
For the first time, the Shadow Knight’s eyes were colored with a color other than anger and hatred. It was as if the diary containing shameful incidents hidden in a drawer had been opened before my eyes.
It had to be that way.
‘If you are only here to kill Cardenas’ apprentice knights, there is no reason to include a large number of restraint tools in your belongings. It is clear that they have come to kidnap relatively easy-looking children.’
Leonard’s gaze glanced at the Shadow Knight’s belongings placed at a distance.
These were things I checked directly before he woke up.
There are more than ten restraints that make circulation of internal energy difficult when hung on the neck, wrists, or ankles. If you have external power level 6 or higher, you can take it off by yourself, but if it is 5 or lower, it is difficult to resist.
‘Well, it didn’t work for me at all.’
The flow of internal energy itself was unusually strong and fast, and the control ability of the core, which had become stronger after breaking through the external force field, was enough to ignore even restraint tools.
The bottom of that ability has not yet been discovered.
“Yes, you guys… ! What do we know? What do we know? !”

“know. “Are there any other losers with an inferiority complex like you?”
Leonard said with a knowing expression.
“——What.”
It’s a lie.
It shakes the spirit of the Shadow Knight, who had become unstable due to being hit in the head, even more strongly.
It is different from people like Dongchang, Susuwi, and the Chuhondae of the Four Hwangnyeon, who could be said to be the secret parts of the royal family in the central region. Hounds accustomed to dirty work never open their mouths. Cutting off the tongue and inserting poison into the molars were common.
‘But instead of trying to commit suicide, this idiot believed that what he was doing was right. ‘It’s a behavior more similar to fanaticism than to the underworld, and also to blood cultists.’
A memory from a long time ago comes to mind.
The days when the Blood Demon Dokgohwang invaded the Jungwon Murim with his fanatics, and temporarily became a member of the Murim Alliance and stood at the forefront.
The blood cultists they had taken prisoner were not by any means crazy, and they were having a hard time with the interrogation for a long time.
Zhuge Ming, commander of the Murim League and the Prince of Heaven, has appeared.
-You should not try to understand fanatics. You can’t even approach it in a logical way. To them, my faith is absolute, and any attempt to deny it is an evil temptation. Torture is no better. I think it is an ordeal that makes my faith more noble.
‘Even if that belief is false?’
-I do not accept it. Even if you put evidence in front of them, they think it’s all fabricated. They are no different from opium addicts who are addicted to fantasy and have no possibility of persuasion.
So, said Zhuge Ming.
―Insult. Their faith, their doctrines, and the religious leader who holds them up as their savior. Instead of criticizing logically, please spit in his face like a blue tiger. Then, the mouth that was tightly closed opens wide, and, unable to hold back my anger, I spew out various stories.
As expected, the advice worked great, and the Murim Alliance, who learned of the blood cultists’ stronghold and route, was soon able to return with the supply and demand of Dokgohwang.
The words spoken by the blood cultist who was subjected to guided interrogation were decisive.
So Leonard decided to tell what he remembered from what he saw that day.
“Were you so envious of Cardenas’s power and glory? To the extent of betraying the honor of a knight and trying to kidnap children? “They say there’s nothing more ugly than the cries of losers, and that’s true.”
“Shut up… ! “Can’t you just shut that mouth!”
“No, one thing is worth praising. Since I don’t have the confidence to beat Cardenas with a sword, I’ll just attack her with fists and acknowledge the flexibility of her head. Of course, fighting skills were just as poor as sword skills.”
Leonard struck the final blow while looking down at the squirming creature with red, bloodshot eyes.
“Do you think that stealing Cardenas’s secret will change your situation? Third-rate bastards from the border with little strength or pride. “Wasn’t that unsightly appearance a shame to our ancestors?”
“Kaaaaaaaa! You! You! “You brat with no blood on your head, how dare you insult the name of Cruzis!”
Finally, in front of the man with the crab foam in his mouth, Leonard was impressed when he confirmed the usefulness of the method.
It is not for nothing that the gentleman Cheongi was treated as the top ten noblemen.
“Ho, was it the guy from Cruzis?”
“… … what? “You, you, no way.”
The Shadow Knight’s complexion became as pale as marble when he realized that he had been fooled by a pun.
In preparation for possible torture, the Shadow Knights endured all the training, including propping their bodies with pokers, cutting off flesh, and crushing bones.
But you were fooled by a child’s wit and told the truth!
‘My heart was shaken. It’s easy from here.’
Before Leonard could come to his senses, he stretched out his finger and struck the acupuncture point around Baekhoe.
At the same time, the Shadow Knight’s eyes opened and he looked into space with an unfocused gaze like a married man.
It was simple to open a broken heart even once.
Since I was forced to open the Baekhoehyeol, I wouldn’t be able to withstand even one angle before dying, but that was more than enough. Leonard thought about what he should ask first and shook off his old memories.
-Isn’t it funny? These guys who know how to tolerate insults to their own parents are infuriated by insults to illusions and such.
It was just as Zhuge Ming said.
“For some reason, I felt a sense of déjà vu. They looked like those guys who used to yell at martial arts that were stronger than theirs, calling them witchcraft.”
Yeon Moo-hyuk also experienced this several times during his time as a martial artist.
Aside from criticizing it as a hex, the people flocking to show off the hex was completely ridiculous.
The reason his actions were soaked in blood was because he killed every single one of those who challenged him in that way. A journey to Sura that cuts down righteous factions, evil factions, and magic factions without distinction.
His eyes became cold as he remembered the starting point.
