A genius gamer, reincarnated into a famous hero episode 27

Vision of the Sword Star (2)

Duke Kal-El Paul Kaladan quietly closed his eyes. At times like that, he thinks of Harang during the duel.

A boy of small stature, flashing black and white eyes and swinging his sword… … .

“Aran.”

At Kal-El’s call, a man who had been walking without a trace appeared behind him.

Commonly known as ‘Aran Paradel of the South’.

Among the family’s best knights, ‘High Masters’, he is a knight who is no different from Kal-El’s right-hand man.

“What do you think?”

“I think my youngest grandson’s talent is impressive enough.”

“No, that’s not it.”

If it was a talent, I knew about it three years ago. I came here today to find out how and to what extent that talent was developed… … .

I ended up discovering something even more surprising.

“Did you see the light in that child’s eyes?”

“… … .”

At that, Aran bowed his head.

Since Aran was currently a 9-star swordsman, it was impossible not to notice.

“… … Yes, I saw it. “Those eyes that shined brilliantly in black and white.”

“Yes, I wasn’t mistaken.”

It cannot be said that the 10-star swordsman, who can also be said to be at the level of the supernatural, is an illusion.

Nevertheless, Kal-El wanted to confirm it through the mouths of others.

‘Black and white eye light. It’s the same as the characteristics of Caladern, a warrior from the distant past.’

Countless historical records have unified the characteristics of Kaladan.

His sword emitted a mixture of silver and black flame and lightning, and his eyes were always shining with black flame like the sun.

When the warrior Kaladan swung his sword, black and white flames bloomed, black and white lightning struck the world, and the entire earth was frozen with black and white frost.

Sword techniques containing attributes such as flame and lightning were not that amazing. Certain families often had their weapons emit cold air or be surrounded by flames.

But until now, hundreds of years later.

No warrior, no descendant of Kaladan, has been able to produce the ‘Sword Energy of the Black Flame’… … .

Therefore, I thought it was a characteristic unique to the warrior Caladorn.

‘It only resembles an eye glow.’

There is no need to have unnecessary expectations. Because Harang’s sword was plain white. Even though Kal-El knew this, Harang’s silver eyes kept flashing in his mind.

The oldest tradition of the Caladern family.

‘If a descendant with black and white light appears, like the hero Caladun, Calantatis, the Dragon King of the Moon, will awaken again.’

The swordsman Caladern was once the best and strongest family. The reason why the Kaladan family is now called the ‘three greatest swordsmanship families’ was simple.

This is because many guardians around the world who have kept the Kaladan family in check have entered into long-term contracts with other famous families to protect them.

Guardian contractors were able to use special abilities, and their power was called asymmetric power. Although they rarely appeared on the battlefield, their role was to suppress those who dared to engage in turf wars.

Currently, the Caladorn family has also signed a long-term contract with the Guardians of Five, so they are able to make up for Calantatis’ absence to some extent, but it is not enough.

‘Calanthatis was deeply wounded and fell asleep, losing all his strength.’

One of the facts in the world that only the head of Caladern knows.

‘He can regain his strength by signing a contract with the hero again… … .’

Only when the day comes when Calanthatis, the Dragon King of the Moon, truly appears, will the Caladun family regain its former glory and stand tall at the top of the world.

“majesty. “I had a strange feeling looking at the youngest master.”

“Tell me.”

“No doubt they were doing their best, but they were not desperate at all.”

As if he knew he would win, as if he could take his time.

“okay… … . It did.”

That is a fact that Kal-El also saw. As for Harang, he did not use the seasons he had created, nor did he use sword energy. Anyone can tell that it wasn’t desperate.

However, that was not the perspective of the two prosecutors. This is because the depth of that leisure was extraordinary.

As if there were some kind of secret hidden from the world.

“I have doubts about whether he has mastered magic, but I think it is impossible to combine swordsmanship and magic at such a young age.”

“no. “I have already learned the magic.”

“… … “Did I hear you wrong?”

“I felt the unique resonance of a wizard.”

It doesn’t matter. At best, what Harang was hiding wasn’t magic.

It was something bigger than that, with a deep secret.

Perhaps predictably, Harang will not reveal it himself.

‘Because that child is wise.’

Kal-El still remembers the conversation he had with his youngest grandchild at the ceremony. The child looked directly into his eyes and conveyed his intentions, and it felt as if he was meeting the immortal of the immortals.

“Can I dig up some information?”

“There is no need for that. Any investigation of the youngest grandchild is prohibited.”

If that child really has a great secret, he will reveal it someday. Of course, Kal-El couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.

A secret so big that even you won’t find out?

‘… … ‘That’s fun.’

Although he never intended to force the child to reveal a secret, he is hiding some of his abilities from a subject who is only 10 years old.

That fact alone is interesting enough.

“A good idea occurred to me, Aran.”

“I will listen.”

“I heard that my youngest grandson was eligible to participate in the Honorary Swordsman Competition. That kid is too brilliant to fit in with people his age. “Wouldn’t it be boring if I sent it out in a normal way?”

“I also have the same thoughts as the Duke.”

“Then how about this?”

After a while.

Aran, who heard Duke Kal-El’s story, was astonished.

“Are you sure you want to do that…?” … ?”

Aran asked back without realizing it, but Duke Kal-El did not speak twice.

“… … “If that’s what you mean.”

His Royal Highness never tells jokes. Because Aran knew that fact better than anyone else, he could not escape the shock.

“I will fulfill it.”

In the end, I accept it.

“Oh, right. “I’ll have to see my youngest grandchild soon.”

“Are you going to reward me just for my performance at the basic training center?”

“There is no such thing as best. “No matter where you are, if you show performance that exceeds expectations, you need to be rewarded accordingly.”

“No way, you are already trying to pass on the matriarch’s ‘Heavenly Sword’… … .”

“No way.”

Kal-El quietly closed his eyes.

“However, it will be necessary to teach the basics of learning the Heavenly Sword.”

The youngest grandson had demonstrated enough talent and value to learn it.

* * *

Astera Continent, northernmost part of the Herael Empire.

‘Fortress of Silence’.

The sight of a gray, cold fortress standing elegantly on a sharply cut cliff is more eerie than beautiful, but it was not originally built for aesthetic reasons.

Because the last fortress that was the only one blocking the tidal wave of monsters coming from the far north was the Fortress of Silence.

Of course, that was over 100 years ago.

Now, not even monsters could attack for fear of the Kala or the Fortress of Silence. The walls of the fortress have long since literally become a boundary line.

One characteristic of the Fortress of Silence was that it was a place where the traditional powers of the Kaladun family met once a year.

The Kaladan Presbyterian Church is home to 12 swordsmen who have achieved great heights of the 9th Star, regardless of whether they are pureblood or collateral lineage.

“Kal-El, he broke tradition.”

The Presbyterian Church was extremely cold.

There was no such thing as a beautiful reunion with family I hadn’t seen in a long time.

The elderly people sitting around the round table were so engrossed in the world that they were busy taking care of their own interests, and the elderly people in front of them were all just objects that had to be kept in check politically.

However, something happened that made them all of one mind.

Kal-El Paul Calladorn, as the head of the family, adopted Banggye as his named disciple and successor!

Not only that, no matter how Baek Ya-seong’s blood relatives grow, as the head of the family, he must never interfere, and even the news that he went to see him in person reached the ears of the Presbyterian Council.

“They named Bang-gye as the successor.”

“They said the child was not in a good state. “They say she has silver eyes that are darker than those of a pureblood.”

“It goes against tradition. Since he has denied everything that our ancestors have upheld, Kal-El should step down from his position as the head of the family.”

“Heng, if he steps down, are you going to let your grandson sit there? Even if you don’t like Kal-El now, there is no other talented person other than him. “Your grandson will not have the talent to reach 10 stars.”

“What!”

“Besides, is it possible to make Kal-El relinquish his position as the head of the family? “You’ll be lucky if you don’t get any of your hair chopped off.”

“Isn’t that something that all 12 members of the Presbyterian Church need to agree on?”

“I am against it. “I don’t like your opinion.”

“This bastard… … !”

“And tradition sucks. Don’t you still know that many stars in the collateral world who could have achieved great heights lost because of that useless tradition?”

“bloke! Caladern’s tradition boasts the longest history on the continent of Astera. Are traditions funny? “Why do you think Caladern maintains its position as the world’s most powerful family?”

“I don’t think it’s thanks to that damn tradition?”

“This guy… … !”

“Stop it.”

The twelfth elder, Chendi, who could not see the elders fighting, raised his palm. Why are these damn old people so anxious that they can’t eat each other?

“I would like to ask you a question. “What should we decide on since we have Calathan’s blood in our blood?”

“Of course, the direct descendants would have inherited the blood.”

“well. I think ‘eyes’ and ‘strength’ might be more accurate criteria. “It is also proof that he has strongly inherited the power of the warrior Kaladan.”

There was no one to refute that statement. In fact, the darker the silver eyes were, the more beautiful and powerful they were.

“Until now, I always thought that purebloods had the darkest blood since their eyes naturally had darker silver eyes.”

The old people were looking at him with their mouths closed. That was quite a burden. Because they were all older people who had lived much longer than Chendi.

“but… … An exception has occurred. Because even darker silver eyes appeared in the collateral world. As I said before, the eyes are evidence of strong blood.”

“That’s such a strange thing. How can collateral blood relatives’ eyes be darker than those of purebloods?”

Chendi looked around the audience and said.

“Have you ever heard of the word atavism?”

A word that means inheritance across generations.

It was a very common word in this world. In other external families, there were often cases where people who were only partially born through blood showed stronger strength and talent than their direct relatives.

However, such things rarely happened in Kaladun. Due to the blessing and curse of the warrior Kaladan, those who fall away from the immediate lineage gradually lose their silver eyes.

Hundreds of years have passed since then, and there has never been a case of silver eyes appearing in a branch separated from Caladhan.

“Just because it’s never happened before, there’s no guarantee it won’t happen again. That boy may be the first case. A collateral blood relative who inherited the blood of the warrior Kaladan even stronger than his direct lineage… … “It’s not impossible.”

The elderly people who had opposing views on his words had no choice but to remain silent for a moment. This is because there was nothing wrong with the story because it was based on the traditions of Kaladun from beginning to end.

“furthermore… … Duke Kal-El gave him the ‘Blue Moon Mark’. Do you know what this means?”

“Cheongwolheun?! no way!”

One of the elders jumped up from his seat. The reason why the Cheongwol scar was passed down to that degree was because it was not a situation where it could be seen easily.

“Perhaps, the Kal-El matriarch truly intends to pass on the position of matriarch to the child.”

That’s why Cheongwolheun was not an ordinary sword.

Cheongwolheun was excellent as a famous sword in itself, but it had even greater value in possession.

‘Cheongwolheun, the benefactor’s sword that saved the family from danger just before Caladun’s extinction.’

The 12 elders were silent. Chendi looked around at them and played with his mustache. By now, they’ll have a chill on the back of their necks.

“This is a warning message from Duke Kal-El to us. Don’t mess with his youngest grandson… … .”

At those words, the elder council fell completely silent, and Chendi leaned back in his chair, wiping away a cold sweat.

If those old men start fighting with swords, not only Kaladun but also the world could be turned upside down, so we barely managed to calm them down… … .

However, Chendi was not a supporter of the youngest grandchild named ‘Harang’.

This was because I had not yet seen his qualifications with my own eyes.

‘You will find out little by little. Do you really deserve to be given the Blue Moon? Since he has silver eyes, does he show his actions as Caladorn?’

He is a 10-year-old boy that the entire Presbyterian Church is paying attention to.

When has this happened again?

‘Time will tell.’

If that boy is truly a gem resembling Cheongwol, he will prove it to everyone by shining on his own.
