How to Live As a Returnee Munchkin Swordsman

25 – Fifth Necessity (2)

“You are a hero who has been chosen for the fate of ＜Swordsman＞.”

*The 5th crossroads ＜Understanding the Sword＞

-Inevitability: ＜Sword of Resonance＞

After returning for the first time, a new inevitability entered the place where ＜???＞ had been written.

That ability also had the effect of drawing out the real power contained in a special sword or a legendary treasured sword, in line with the name of the crossroads called ‘Understander’.

In fact, the inevitability that belongs to each fork in the road often follows the nature of the fork in the road.

In the first crossroads ＜Genius Swordsman＞, which showed the growth of talent, the necessity of ＜flexible absorption＞ was attributed, and ＜Indomitable Body＞ was assigned to ＜Sword Demon of the Battlefield＞, which marked the beginning of a full-scale swordsman.

In addition, from ＜Master of the Sword＞, the beginning of a knight who handles mana or magical power, ＜Magic at the point of the sword＞, and ＜Gale of Wind＞, where he matured as a swordsman and found his own characteristics, obtained ＜Steps of Falling Leaves＞.

All inevitability fits well with the character of the crossroads.

Also, these were the abilities I had been using directly or indirectly right before my return.

but-.

‘This is a first-time ability.’

A newly blooming inevitability, ＜Sword of Resonance＞.

This is a skill that has never been dealt with before.

I, right before my return, did not have this ability, and I had never heard of a similar necessity among the heroes of the continent.

Of course, there are cases where heroes who were born with a destiny such as ＜The Apprentice Hero＞ or ＜Master of the Holy Sword＞ often use special swords like ‘sacred swords’.

Because their innate destiny itself is specialized in handling such special weapons.

However, as far as I know, there was no inevitable way to utilize the abilities of the swords in the form of ‘coincident’ like the ＜Resonance Strike＞ that I have now blossomed.

‘Tsunami on the sword… .’

When the fork in the road and inevitability bloom, the way to use it naturally comes to mind.

The coincidence belonging to the treasured sword ＜Gallid＞, ＜tsunami on the sword＞, first launches a magical slash that cuts horizontally in front.

Then, it creates a huge stream of water on top of it and attacks the enemy.

Although it does not have enough lethal power to suffocate the enemy, it can produce the effect of controlling momentary movements.

The amount of water it ejects is so great that the name ‘tsunami’ is appropriate.

‘It’ll be useful when dealing with multiple enemies.’

Basically, my swordsmanship is specialized in ‘battle with many’.

The reason is simple.

This is because the place I encountered when I first fell into the other world was the battlefield, and one-on-one combat was almost difficult to find in the melee of killing and killing each other.

A sword that can take down as many enemies as possible.

How to minimize my damage in it.

That was how my main method of swordsmanship, ＜Bellum Swordsmanship＞, was born, and its deteriorated version was ＜Balut Swordsmanship＞.

But now.

There is a new ability to give you strength once more.

‘Let’s go right away.’

There was no need to hesitate.

Sreung-!!

Runs forward quickly, pulls out the gallid and cuts through the air.

A sufficient amount of magic power is contained within the sword being swung.

It was the result of using ＜magic power at the tip of the sword＞ from the time he drew the sword.

Yes.

This coincidence called ＜tsunami on the sword＞ was impossible to use unless it was a swordsman who knew how to handle magical powers.

It was a natural story since the inevitability itself that captured this in the first place was an ability that belonged to the 5th crossroads.

Chand, ah-!!

Turn it off-!!

A huge amount of water was placed on top of the magical slash.

I can feel the advanced monster hellhounds struggling in panic at the sudden pouring waterfall.

Some of them were seen moving quickly across the terrain to avoid the water.

I broke through the gap and started attacking.

Hwareuk-!!

Kaang-!!

Turn it off-!!

Hellhound is a monster characterized by its metal-clad outer shell and the use of blazing hellfire.

Because of this, I heard the sound of the sword being stabbed and crashed, and I could see their fire attack riding on the blade and trying to attack me.

“You are dull.”

I evaded all of the fire by gently moving my body.

It is the extremely skilled use of ＜Piarelli Footsteps＞.

Soon, the sword was enchanted and immediately pierced the hellhound’s skin.

If the demons possess such a solid means of defense, they can only be hunted by attacking with the completed magic sword.

And for a swordsman hero to handle magic power to that degree, at least the ‘third crossroads’ must be blossomed.

This was the reason why the overall commander, Duke Crowlin, put all the rank-and-file knights below the secondary hero into a defensive posture from the beginning.

Sigh!

Off!!

＜Tsunami on the Sword＞ was a coincidence whose effects were clearly noticeable.

The huge stream of water that had not yet disappeared continued to impede the hellhound’s movements.

Thanks to this, I was able to defeat them much more comfortably than usual.

Actually, since I am already on track with my swordsmanship, I didn’t think these tricks would be of much help… In a many-to-one battle, there were surprisingly many uses.

The harvest of battle did not end there.

“The shaking hands of the clock!”

“You are a hero who perfectly mastered the coincidence of ＜Piarelli Step＞. This coincidence belongs to the fate of ＜Prosecutor＞.」

“Piarelli Foot Technique is a foot technique that specializes in connecting smooth movements and destructive sword techniques. No matter how long the preparation time is for an attack, your concentration will not be interrupted while using this step.」

“The shaking hands of the clock!”

“You are a hero who has perfectly mastered the coincidence of ＜Vellum swordsmanship＞. This coincidence belongs to the fate of ＜Prosecutor＞.」

“The ＜Vellum sword method＞ is a sword method created to kill many people in an endless war. When using a sword, even in battles with many people, your senses don’t get dull easily.”

Right before my return, ＜Piarelli Foot Technique＞ and ＜Bellum Sword Technique＞, which I mainly used, were registered by chance.

＜Balut sword method＞ was used while hunting Kelleil the other day, and it was naturally registered by chance while demonstrating a few times to open a new lecture, but the advanced techniques were not easily registered by chance.

Because these are all skills made for actual combat-.

So this time, as I used the two martial arts in earnest in battle, it seemed like I was registered right away.

Turn it off-!!

The number of Hellhounds already cut down by the treasured sword Galleed exceeds five.

six.

No, seven this time.

Putting the reputation of a high-class monster to shame, my sword mercilessly hunted them down in the overflowing tidal wave.

“The sound of crying sounds just like a human.”

In the midst of the trance-like battle, I quietly chanted.

When you think of hellhounds, dogs are usually the monsters that come to mind, but their cries and screams are unique and human-like.

… To the point where I had such random thoughts, the battle was going one-sided.

* * *

As requested by the client, Reese quietly observed the situation among the surrounding heroes.

This request is to participate in the investigation of the designated area of the Royal Knights of Clepe, and her role is one of the Mage Tower’s collaborators.

Therefore, all you have to do is pretend to use magic in moderation.

Even though an unexpected situation arose when a high-level monster Hellhound jumped out of the monster’s lair from the start, there was no way that the Royal Knights of Klepe, called the kingdom’s best knights, couldn’t solve this much.

Just standing in the safest place and watching the knights hunt monsters is the end.

There is nothing particularly special about the situation.

… Obviously it should have been.

‘Nonsense. Did you write a tidal wave on the sword?’

… That is, until that unusual battle unfolded that shocked Reese.

She watched the battle ahead with disbelief.

To be precise, a man active in battle-.

The main character is Edgar Mulick.

The second son of the Great Magician Marquess Mullique, and a new instructor at the Tristan Hero Academy.

Also, like Reese, he is a swordsman hero who was selected as a reference for this collaborator.

He heard that he was a popular hero in the kingdom these days, but in fact, it was a story from a distant country to Reese, who had little interest in the affairs of the kingdom of Clef.

‘… Are you dreaming?’

However, he took out the treasured sword of Ben-Hur’s kingdom, ＜Gallid＞.

That alone is surprising enough, and he even unleashed the special ability ＜Tsunami on the Sword＞ contained in Gallid.

This.

It was truly unbelievable.

‘The tidal wave on the sword is a power that can only be used by members of the Ben-Hur royal family, so how on earth can a hero from a foreign country… .’

Even if others don’t know, Reese knows.

Only she who worked in the deepest part of Ben-Hur’s kingdom knew.

＜Tsunami on the Sword＞ is an ability that can only be used by mastering the ＜Bluden Sword Technique＞, which is said to be the exclusive property of the Ben-Hur royal family.

In other words, it is virtually impossible for a hero from another country to use that ability.

However, Edgar Mullik uses ＜Tsunami on the Sword＞ so naturally, and as if it was just an auxiliary method, he quickly jumps into the battlefield and defeats the enemies.

Only the Hellhound whose life was cut off by his sword were already the 7th.

“Wow, wow… How many are you catching by yourself?”

“Weren’t the rumors false? Is that the real Edgar Mullik?”

“Nonsense… .”

Embarrassed reactions erupt from the surroundings at the tremendous sight.

However, his personality was distinctly different from Reese’s.

They are genuinely surprised by Edgar’s fighting prowess.

Apparently, Edgar, who had just attained his destiny as a swordsman, was hunting monsters with power comparable to the fourth fork in the road.

‘stupid guys. Is that important now?’

Reese looks at them with a frustrated feeling.

They don’t seem to have a proper sense of how absurd Edgar Mullique has unfolded.

Of course, among them, like Reese, there were those who were curious about ＜Tsunami on the Sword＞.

“By the way, what was that water magic?”

“It came out in huge quantities, almost like waves. Just like the magician hero created… .”

For a moment, Reese snapped her fingers.

‘okay! Of course you should be curious about that.’

It seems that now I can see heroes with common sense.

… but.

Those who tilted their heads, soon clapped their hands and found the answer.

that’s right

It was the fact that Edgar was a descendant of the Great Magician family.

“It’s the magic of the Mullique family!”

“Spell and sword at the same time… !!”

“Magic Swordsman! It is the birth of a magic swordsman!”

The conclusion that was reached in a quick battle-.

The story is credible enough because it was Edgar who attended the Faculty of Magic until his cadet days.

However, it was a completely different direction from Reese’s idea.

Reese sighed in anger and shook his head.

‘no! That’s not magic!’

In a request that needs to be quietly buried.

Of course, her voice couldn’t be heard.
