“It’s been a while since I saw you, sister-in-law.”
She is the one who earned Russ the new title of Sword Emperor.
It was the Empress of the Antares Empire, the sword saint Iniya El Enemilus.
“Oh, look at me. “A guest came, but I couldn’t prepare anything.”
Iniya made a fuss and wiped her hands on her apron.
“Because I came a few days early. Never mind.”
While replying, Russ glanced at the laundry that Iniya had hung out. She didn’t seem to have any attendants and seemed to do all the housework herself. Despite being the empress of a huge empire, a great swordsman, and in a position to enjoy all the wealth and glory in the world, her life is extremely simple.
… … It may seem that things are already far from being simple at the time when supplies were transported deep into the mountains and three two-story houses were built, but that’s what it looks like on the outside.
“Now, sit down first. The house hasn’t been cleaned yet… … .”
Iniya blushed and waved her hands in the air. In an instant, a wonderful tea table and chairs made of ice appeared. It is the power of Auror materialization. With renewed admiration, Russ sat down on the ice chair.
‘Your skills are still the same.’
And I was amazed once more.
‘No, you felt more.’
The ice is not cold. It feels more like a chair carved from beautiful crystal than ice. Beyond just creating ice, it even blocks heat transfer.
‘Ugh, there’s a long way to go.’
Feeling a sense of victory, Russ clicked his tongue. I think I’ll have to work harder to take over the position of the Sword Saint. Well, it’s not that I don’t like the title of Sword Emperor, but wouldn’t a man naturally want to aim for the best?
Meanwhile, Iniya, who had gone inside, served simple refreshments and tea. Since he can see the inside of the house not being cleaned, it looks like he is just going to greet guests in the yard.
Behind Iniya, I saw a cute girl about five or six years old following me. She was a cute-looking child with purple hair and black eyes, so cute that it wouldn’t hurt to put it in her eyes. The fact that her ears were pointed proved that the child was not human. Her ears were neither long like an elf nor short like a dwarf. I guess she’s somewhere in the middle?
The child saw Russ and ran towards him with joy.
“Uncle Russ!”
Russ also stood up and spread his arms.
“Come here, Winis!”
The child who came running stamped his foot. She immediately jumps up to Russ’ chest and hugs him tightly. It was definitely a cute and heartwarming sight, but now that child has easily jumped a height that is more than twice his height.
‘… … What kind of jumping ability does a five-year-old child have? … .’
Russ, who was holding the child, looked back at Iniya and stuck out his tongue.
“As expected, it’s your brother’s child.”
“The kid looks a lot like his dad.”
Iniya smiled brightly, as if she was happy. Russ gave her a shocked look.
‘Is it really good for a girl to take after her father, who is 2.3 meters tall and well-muscled?’
Well, now that I look at it, Iniya’s eyes are filled with beanbags, but in reality, she looks exactly like her mother, so there doesn’t seem to be any problem. Even if she looks like her mother, honestly, a sergeant jump of 2 meters would be ridiculous.
First princess of the Antares Empire, Winis el Enemilus Antares.
It’s already been 5 years since this cute little lady was born. At that time, I remember Russ being really happy with her work as if it were her own. My only complaint is that the name Winis is too common and a bit inappropriate to give to the princess of an empire… … .
‘That name comes from my precious relationship with him, and it is the name that best suits this child.’
It was incomprehensible to Russ, but there seemed to be a reason.
After a while, a sturdy knight appeared in the yard.
“You’re welcome, Sir Russ.”
Seeing him wearing armor like a knight even deep in the mountains, Russ also greeted him.
“It’s been a while, Lord Asreil.”
Imperial Guardian Knight Asreil von Cato.
Although he lost the Baphomet suit, he was still Antares’ strongest human auror user. Gerard and Reppenhardt are not considered human, Russ returned to the Tenness family, and the remaining Auror users were all of a different race, so I wonder if the word ‘strongest’ really has any meaning, but it is officially true anyway.
The Antares Empire granted him the title of Guardian Knight, protecting the emperor. It was a truly honorable position, and at the same time, it was a position of pure honor.
Honestly, who should Asrail protect?
The emperor is the King of Fist and the Empress is the Sword Saint. If something happens, Asreil will have to run to that couple to save him.
But the princess, Winis, was born. From Asrail’s point of view, he has finally met someone he can truly protect. Throughout his time in the imperial palace, he never left Winis’s side, and even now he was following Iniya and Winis deep in the mountains.
“Lord Arthreil!”
Winis got down from Russ’s arms and went to be hugged by Asreil. Asleil hugged the princess with a happy face and pledged once again.
“My princess. “I will protect you even at the cost of my life.”
Because those guys have no need for Asreil’s life.
“… … ?”
This may be a complaint that is difficult for a child to understand. Russ laughed at that sight. she then asked, looking around her.
“But what about you?”
At that moment, a desperate scream came from the vacant lot behind the building.
“Aaaah!”
It was the scream of a young boy. But no matter how miserable it is, I don’t think it would touch my heart that much even if I cut off a pig’s throat.
“Sigh!”
But no one here, not even young Winis, paid any attention to the screams. Everyone reacted as expected.
Russ nodded.
“Oh, is that that place?”
“That’s Gerard.”
Iniya shook her head and answered.
“He went to catch the student who ran away.”
☆ ☆ ☆
Deep in the mountains, a boy runs through dense bushes. I guess he was about thirteen or four years old? He was still a child with a youthful look on his face.
But the body was completely different.
He is as tall as an adult man, has thick muscles all over his body, his hands are full of calluses, and his arm and leg muscles and abdominal muscles are such that it is hard to tell whether he is a human body or a stone body. A perfectly balanced body of eight heads can be said to be the ideal body for those who pursue martial arts.
“Huff!”
The boy was running away. His face is full of urgency and his whole body is covered in sweat. The trained body jumps over rocks without hesitation and cuts through the bushes like corn.
How long did he run like that? Only then did the boy stop running for a moment. He looked back frantically, and his face was filled with joy.

“it’s okay! Success!”
Freedom! Finally got out!
It was then.
“Disciple, where are you going?”
Before I knew it, a large man in his 30s was sitting on a rock in front of the road, looking at the boy.
“Oops! “Sa, master!”
The boy was terrified. That large man was the boy’s master, Emperor of the Antares Empire, successor to Jim Unbreakable at the time, and the world’s second greatest martial artist, King Reppenhardt Wald Antares.
“You didn’t run away for a month or two, and then you finally tried again? “Tsk, tsk.”
Reppenhardt shook his head as he looked at the muscular boy who was like a frog in front of a snake. It was not that he did not understand his disciple’s feelings. How much did he, too, want to run away while working under Gerrard?
But eventually, when he reaches that level, this boy will also be grateful to Reppenhardt. Because Leffenhardt himself did the same.
‘Until then, it is the master’s responsibility to lead the disciple to the level of ascension, even if by force!’
Gerrard didn’t just give him a body of steel. He also gave him a will of steel that would carry him through without wavering even before the god of mankind.
Ah, how great is Master’s grace!
In order to repay that favor, I have to be strong-minded now.
“Let’s go back.”
Leffenhardt got up from the rock. The hesitating boy opened his mouth in a serious tone, as if he had decided on something.
“Whoa, look. “I have something to tell you.”
“Try it.”
“I am actually not from this era. Actually, I’m from the distant future… … Quack!”
Sadly, the boy’s words could not continue. This was because Reppenhardt, who had already gone behind the boy, grabbed him by the scruff of his neck and lifted him up like a kitten.
“I used that in the past. “Think of something else.”
The boy had an expression of despair. Suddenly, Repenhardt’s expression became strange.
‘But I was real, right?’
He looks at his student carefully. Of course I know it’s just an attempt to run away, but I have my own example… … .
‘… … ‘I guess not?’
But Leffenhardt soon turned off his nerves.
‘What does it matter what the grain is? All you have to do is have a strong body.’
Reppenhardt leapt forward while holding his disciple. A large, muscular man runs down a mountain path as lightly as a feather. The boy was hanging in the air, shaking his feet repeatedly. He was a boy the size of an adult, but compared to his 2.3 meter tall figure, he was almost like a child.
Yes.
Eventually, Leffenhardt’s height reached 2.3 meters.
The soul affects the body, and the body affects the soul, and now Reppenhardt has completely changed into black hair and eyes like obsidian. However, at this height, even if you die, your soul will not be affected! The Supreme Demon King completely ignored that gigantic soul and grew on his own, eventually becoming his original size!
‘As expected, this body was not chosen by Master for nothing.’
Leffenhardt returned to the clearing. Then he threw his student on the floor and said,
“Master, I caught you.”
In the vacant lot, a muscular old man a head taller than Reppenhardt was waiting for him with a warm smile. The boy who saw the old man screamed desperately.
“Master Taesabu! Help me!”
Of course, the old man was not the kind of person who would grant the boy’s wishes. He is Emperor Gerard, the master of the world’s strongest martial artist, Reppenhardt. He even hurries, gesturing with his hand to hurry.
“You’re late. “Hurry and tie it next to you.”
The boy’s mouth was gagged. With no time to fight back, he is tied to a wooden stake. Another boy of similar age was already tied to a wooden stake next to him. He was as big as the boy who ran away.
The boy who was tied up looked at him with sad eyes.
‘Priests! ‘You’ve finally been caught!’
‘execution! ‘You couldn’t escape even the death penalty.’
Exchanging glances, the boys fell into despair. Reppenhardt rolled up his sleeves and picked up a bamboo club.
“Okay then, let’s finish training.”
A high-quality bamboo pole from Halain began beating the two boys mercilessly. A silent scream echoed.
‘Aaaah!
‘Save people!’
Two years after founding the Antares Empire, Reppenhardt finally found a ‘beastly bastard’ worthy of Jim Unbreakable. And a year later, he also discovered ‘an even more beastly one.’
There was a reason why previous kings were able to accomplish in just three years what would have taken decades. He went about his business ignorantly and did not go around looking for his successor.
“At what point in time are you looking for two guys? “I would rather use that time to develop magic to find a successor!”
After two years of research, ‘Reppenhardt’s Eye’, a continent-wide search artifact based on the World Tree, was completed. They added Jim Unbreakable’s qualifications and found two successors in three years.
‘Honestly, I thought at least two spots would come out this way, but there aren’t as many people who meet the qualifications as I thought.’
Jim Unbreakable’s qualities aren’t just about talent. The right talent blooms at the right time and the timing has to be right. The age is in the early teens. If you are younger than that, it is difficult to determine whether you have talent or not. If you are older than that, even if you have talent, it is too late.
It is not for nothing that past kings went to such trouble to find successors. Rather, finding at least one person from generation to generation is close to a miracle.
Anyway, Reppenhardt faithfully followed Gerrard’s orders. Now, if you just raise these two disciples to become kings of their time, you will be able to fulfill your lifelong wish.
“If you are a warrior, you must train your weak points and overcome them!”
Repenhardt shouted loudly as he was beaten cruelly. It was filled with firm trust in Jim Unbreakable.
“Create an unbreakable, perfect, indomitable body!”
Leffenhardt once pondered, ‘Shouldn’t this crazy Mumun be cut off for the future of mankind?’ However, looking at what he is doing now, it seems that he is planning not only to end his relationship, but also to spread it to the world and harm humanity.
It’s not for nothing that there are old-fashioned idioms like “Yuyusangjong” and “Geunmukjaheuk.” The Demon King from his previous life has now become the successor to the great Jim Unbreakable.
“A perfect mind resides in a perfect body!”
Beating the kids, Leffenhardt leisurely repeated Jim Unbreakable’s teachings, words he had once heard from Gerrard. There was a slight arrangement here, and that was to emphasize the mind as well as the body.
Leffenhardt didn’t just teach the boys the martial arts of Jim Unbreakable. Originally, Jim Unbreakable started out as a union of magic and Aurors, so he intended to revive that tradition.
He practices martial arts to death during the day and practices magic at night. Eleusion’s voice was modified for sleep learning, making it possible to perform magic even in dreams. At least the old kings slept well at night, but Repenhardt’s disciples were practicing magic all night long in their dreams, becoming exhausted day by day.
but… … .
“Humans are like iron. “Both iron, the human body, and the mind become stronger and harder the more they are struck.”
Leffenhardt was not worried that his students would be ruined. These were children who had already been selected with careful consideration of all factors. These children could overcome any harsh training and become the next great king.
“You are the disciples I chose! “You can become a true superman with the body of a beast and the brain of a wise man!”
Leppenhardt shouted loudly. The bound boys let out silent cries through the gag.
‘Ah, so I don’t want to be like that!’
‘Who asked me to make something like that!’
Of course, the boys’ struggles were taken lightly. Gerard, who was looking at Reppenhardt and his students with happy eyes from the side, suddenly tilted his head.
“But if these two go down the mountain together, what will happen to their titles?”
Until now, Jim Unbreakable had no need for more than two names: Emperor and King. Because there were so few.
“King of One Power? King Lee Kwon?”
“Isn’t that strange, not Secret Agent No. 1 or 2?”
“Then King of Small Kwon, King of Great Kwon?”
“It’s not like going to a restaurant and ordering small and large dishes… … .”
“Plus, my title is getting weirder too. Repenhardt, your guy will be called the Emperor, but then what will become of me?”
The emperor is higher than the king. So what is higher than the emperor?
“Musin, Gwonsin, isn’t there a lot? Please let me know if there is anything you want. “Have Ka spread it secretly.”
“done. People will call it their own. “If you think about it, what do you know?”
Well, that’s right. What do you know?
Even while chatting with Gerrard, Reppenhardt’s hands were not idle. The beatings were so severe that the children were so angry that they bit off the thick gags with only the strength of their jaws and screamed.
“You devils! “Better kill me!”
“Say, save the person!”
Leffenhardt was delighted. He was already capable of cutting off gags with his teeth, so he wasn’t an ordinary person. He willingly accelerates his practice even more for the sake of these ‘beloved’ disciples.
The wish I had dreamed of my whole life also came true. Now the world no longer considers those he loves as slaves.
My lifelong enemy has disappeared. There is no longer a human god who disturbs the world.
I also gained a lifetime of happiness. He had his wife and daughter, whom he loved more than anyone else, and many precious colleagues by his side.
Now there is only one wish left.
Reppenhardt’s hands became even harsher. Under the fading early summer sunlight, Jim Unbreakable’s long-standing teachings echoed throughout the mountains.
“Believe! There are no limits to humans! “Your bodies can become steel!”
