The Second Salvation Myth of a Retired Returning Hero

chapter 23



23. Warrior

+++

Do-yoon swung his sword alone at the training ground after a day’s work. The clever busker-style sword cut invisible embroidery in the air.

Cradle inspection in a few days. There, some of the best cadets were scheduled to play a friendly against the instructors. Naturally, this too was the result of external pressure.

For Doyoon, it was not a bad proposal. Anyway, the reason he can wield the sword like this now is thanks to him.

It was regrettable that he could only wield the Busker style prior to the 17th round. The condition of ‘under the guidance of an instructor’ was attached, and the swordsmanship instructor was watching from the side. But where is this?

[The skill ‘Swordsmanship’ has been leveled up. current level: 2]

Just being able to train a sword like this makes me feel good.

‘Where shall I see you?’

Doyoon continued swinging his sword without stopping, comparing before and after skill level up.

The invisible lines engraved in the air become thinner. The trembling at the tip of the sword was reduced, and the trajectory became clearer.

The sound of cutting through the air became smaller, and the elasticity of the air pushing the sword decreased. Even if you unfold it the same way as before, the sword blade will automatically add a sense of anticipation.

Doyoon stopped his sword. and admired

It was the first time I had tried leveling up a skill, but I thought I could understand why the skill level was also considered an important measure of an apostle’s ability.

“Whoa…”

With Doyoon’s exhalation, the anticipation that had been engraved in the air was scattered. The swordsmanship instructor, who was watching from a distance, shuddered once at the fragments of sharpness that raised the fluff on his forearm like a cool breeze.

‘I knew I didn’t show all my skills in the tournament, but this much…’

Even though he only showed swordsmanship, not real sparring, other cadets couldn’t possibly compare.

‘Even it is growing at a steep pace.’

Just now, Doyun’s sword changed in the middle. The skill leveled up.

The skill level of the system is set to level 0 ‘when the blessing of the system is granted’. In other words, even if they are at the same level, they are stronger if they reached a higher level before receiving the system.

However, these theoretical concepts were generally meaningless.

Most of the people who were strong before the system was created died either in war or at the end of their lives.

There were very few cases where this theory was applied, and the target case was the boss monster killer.

‘Unfortunately, Hwang Bo-jun and Salamander died young on the battlefield…’

Unlike them, if Doyoon reaches maturity…

‘…’

The swordsmanship instructor trembled for a moment.

On the other hand, Doyoon clicked his tongue at the regret he felt from the taste of his hand.

“Tsk…”

It was fine when I couldn’t touch the sword at all on Earth, but swinging the sword here made it more tantalizing.

‘I want to pull out some swordsmanship and wield it…’

Doyoon looked down at the sword.

An iron sword for training that has no blade, but only materializes weight and shape. If you use a sword technique with this, it will break right away.

There was no way a sword that could withstand the sword would be in the cradle. They say it’s completely unprecedented for a cadet to use swordsmanship.

That’s why you ask to borrow the instructor’s sword? It’s very rude and ridiculous.

Every time Doyoon held the sword, even if it was only occasionally, he would feel great disappointment in the grip and the sense of swinging his hand.

‘It would be nice to have a proper sword…’

During Enoch’s 18th round, numerous famous swords from the continent had passed through his hands.

Enoch’s cherished sword, which was the most important among them, became unknown after the moment he pierced it into the heart of the demon king. Because I was immediately expelled from the dimension.

‘I wonder if he’ll be in the castle of demons by now.’

It was really sad. Made by the Dwarf King, it was an item worthy of being called the best sword in the continent.

‘I must have lost it very much.’

Doyoon scratched the handle of his sword with his finger, thinking of other swords. At least it’s comparable to Enoch’s treasured sword…

‘Busker bastard’s collection. There will be nothing but that.’

The sword collection of the Sword Emperor. It’s a story so famous that it came out in history class.

Geomwang, who threw away everything in life and focused only on the path of the sword. There was only one hobby he had, albeit a small one, and that was sword collecting.

A collection of only the best swords on the continent, consisting of a total of 13 swords.

But the collection has never been stolen. The ‘Gallery’, where the collection was collected, had eight sides made of skull diamonds that absorbed almost all impact, sword energy, and mana.

And the lock at the entrance to the gallery has a very simple structure without a key or password, but only Geomwang and Enoch on the continent. Only the two of them could open the lock.

‘It would be nice to have just one of them.’

Especially sword number 9. It was something Doyoon coveted even when he was Enoch.

poor things. Have you been locked up for 100 years? Back in the day, I often secretly visited and gave those pretty things air…

‘…yes? for a moment.’

The location of the gallery is in the basement of the House of Busker, in the Kingdom of Skeletonia.

‘What is the name of this country…?’

According to the class, it was definitely Skeletonia.

‘…okay. Come to think of it, the hero of this country was Brudet.’

After the war, where would Brudet live? There must be only my master’s hometown.

The sword collection was much closer than I thought.

‘I have a reason to meet soon.’

When Doyoon met Brudet, he had a lot to talk about.

How have you been? how advanced your skills were. Did you bring in the bride and did you see the baby?

And, how the hell did he even stay alive?

Doyoon remembered today’s class.

‘He said he was a direct disciple of the Emperor. Isn’t that a person from 100 years ago? Is that person a long-liver like an elf?’

‘No, the brave Brudet is a human.’

‘yes? Then how…’

‘I do not know.’

‘yes?’

‘No one knows. Even Brudet herself didn’t know.’

‘…are you kidding?’

‘hahahaha. How is it? Brudet himself would be even more absurd. One day, while walking on the road, a system message suddenly appeared in front of me saying that the blessing of longevity had been given, and I have been living without aging for decades after that.’

‘uh…’

‘According to the interview, he said this jokingly. My dead father looked down upon me. I say.’

Doyoon also heard the story and thought about it.

‘It’s ridiculous.’

Perhaps Brudet is hiding something.

Do-yoon wanted to meet him quickly and share his feelings and ask about the secret.

Also, I had to get a sword.

‘…Still, he’s my uncle, so he’ll take out at least one.’

Even I sounded a bit arrogant. In any case, the collection is a legacy passed down to his pupil Brudet.

However, Do-yoon did not just trust and expect brazen blood.

13 swords. Among them, sword 0, sword 7, and sword 12 were gifts from Enoch to the Emperor.

‘And, that Brudet might have grown enough to open the gallery lock.’

If you still haven’t opened it, wouldn’t it be possible to get a bag for opening the lock?

It’s the best sword store on the continent, but Brudet himself must be stomping his feet saying that he’s only rotting away that precious thing.

‘…It’s a pity we couldn’t meet this time.’

Brudet, the hero of this country, is not coming to visit this time, and he says that a hero from the next country is coming.

It’s a pity, but this time I decided to be content with meeting the little elf, Eloa.

Of course, I won’t be a kid anymore.

‘If you meet me…if you know that I am Enoch. What kind of reaction will it show?’

If he reveals his identity to Eloah, it will be the first fate he meets as Enoch in his previous life. Doyoon felt quite tense.

‘100 years ago… I was the guy who confidently said he would marry the hero.’

But 100 years have passed. Although elves are an immutable race, 100 years was a long time for elves as well.

‘Come to think of it, Eloah must have cried a lot too.’

How much did that young guy cry, saying he missed the warrior and asking him to save the warrior?

‘…’

I was not in a good mood.

‘…The guild master said.’

Do-yoon was also a guild master, and it is also the body that coined the word ‘guild’ for the first time.

He knew very well what was the most troublesome factor when running a large organization.

Right, money.

‘If he still welcomes me…’

As an apology for the hardships you caused, you should bring a present.

‘In the safe, where did you put the gold coins?’

Although the scale of funds required for a large guild was enormous, the legacy of Enoch the Great Warrior was very enormous.

Even, wasn’t Enoch one of the greatest riches on the continent? With the knowledge of the future through regression, he almost swept money in every episode.

Legacy of great warriors hidden all over the continent. Even if only one of them was opened, it would be an eye-opening amount of money for the guild manager.

Doyoon smiled at the thought of an elf kid who would smile broadly at the gift, and kept his sword.

“Open the door!!”

A procession of inspectors opened the door of the cradle.
