Chapter 442: 413 Differences Between Sword Saints_2
If Reiger truly lost his temper and recklessly cast Tactical Level Magic, it would also be a devastating blow to Vessar.
And yet, there were some who were very pleased to see such a situation unfold.
Like the Kingdom of Leiblu.
Like the surrounding foreign countries.
These ulterior-motivated foreigners, should they see Reiger and Raven come into conflict, would certainly rejoice, hoping the two would fight and turn the kingdom upside down.
At that time, who knows if someone would intentionally stoke the flames behind the scenes to escalate the conflict?
Therefore, Nipede tried his best to prevent a scenario where Reiger and Raven would meet.
Unfortunately, Reiger didn’t care about any of that.
"If he really had considerations, he should know what to do," Reiger said indifferently, "And if the other party doesn’t care about those, insisting on fighting with me over a scumbag, I’d be happy to oblige."
As for how the Kingdom of Genas was, Reiger didn’t care much about it.
He wasn’t truly from this country, this world; here, he only cared about the Franzel House where Yuri was, everything else was irrelevant to him.
With this in mind, he was determined to make a trip to Vessar.
"But..."
Nipede still wanted to persuade him, but Reiger raised his hand to stop him.
"Rather than that, I’d prefer to know, what is the strength of the Border Guardian Sword Saint?" Reiger looked at Nipede, smiled, and said, "I know he is a Sword Saint, but aren’t there six Sword Saints in this country? Where does he rank among them?"
Sword Saints differ from one another.
It was naturally so.
Even within the same rank, there is a difference in strength; what could a nebulous Sword Saint title prove?
Like Afastin Tusenlo, the Dragon Sword Saint from four hundred years prior who had practiced Holy Dragon Sword Skill, once hailed as the strongest Sword Saint of the continent. Even when faced with multiple Sword Saints attacking him, he was able to resist for a while before being overwhelmed to death, causing the powerful top-tier Holy Dragon Sword Skill to become what it was now.
In this world, Reiger had only seen the Shadow Sword Saint Rom and had exchanged blows with him, thus he roughly knew the strength of Rom, that Shadow Sword Saint.
But, the Shadow Sword Saint was definitely not the strongest in the Kingdom of Genas.
Reiger then recalled the time when King Hemulinp had invited him to the kingdom’s treasury to select treasures, and an incident he encountered.
At that time, next to the treasury, there was a very inconspicuous wooden hut.
King Hemulinp bowed in the direction of that hut before entering the treasury, making Reiger take notice of the hut and see through to its occupant with his Earth Mistake World ability.
It was then, Reiger saw a figure far more powerful than Rom.
The figure did not show itself, yet through the Earth Mistake World, he brought Reiger an overwhelming sense of danger.
The figure hadn’t even emitted a hint of aura, but Reiger tensed up the instant he saw him.
It was then, Reiger realized, he had perhaps encountered the truly strongest swordsman, the most powerful figure, in the country.
Although, in haste, Reiger was not certain of how strong the person was, he was sure that he no match for him at that time.
This was somewhat terrifying.
It must be noted, at that time Reiger had already reached Lv.6, and even though he had only recently leveled up, with the potential abilities accumulated from previous levels and a host of combat-related abilities, his normal state was equivalent to the limit of Lv.6 strength.
If Reiger had used the "Breath of the Sun" at that time, entering an aggressive mode, he would have definitely gained the power to steadily surpass a level, allowing him to contend with the limit of Lv.7.
Moreover, with the Magic of the Earth Mistake World and the magic of the Akasha continent, under full power, Reiger was absolutely invincible at Lv.7.
Yet, under such a condition, he wasn’t afraid of Ota, the ultimate weapon of Orlaury, but felt that he was no match for the person in that cabin?
What level of existence was his opponent?
Lv.8 perhaps?
This was a level not even found among the Orlauries of the Earth Mistake World!
Reiger also had some guesses about that person’s identity, and if there were no surprises, it should be the Swordsman who had remained in the palace serving three generations of kings in the Kingdom of Jinas.
And this opponent was clearly not on the same level as the Shadow Sword Saint Rom, proving that there was a difference in strength even among Sword Saints.
Among the swordsmen, there were some senior swordsmen with strength equivalent to Lv.6, a level stronger than the ordinary swordsmen who were at Lv.5, and surely among those at the level of Sword Saint, some individuals exceeded Lv.7.
The Sword Saint guarding the treasure trove of the Kingdom of Jinas was such an existence.
Reiger wanted to know if the Border Guardian Sword Saint, Revin Meipros, had reached this level.
However, Nipede didn’t give a clear answer.
"Ranking Sword Saints is something no one dares to do," said Nipede, "but if it’s just about estimating their rough strength, it’s still possible to make some guesses."
"Oh?"
Reiger suddenly became interested.
It wasn’t just Reiger; Antie, Fannie, and Gel were all drawn to this topic.
Discussing the highest combat power of a kingdom, the continental-level strength of swordsmen, such a topic was incredibly captivating to anyone.
Even Liz, who had been somewhat dispirited, perked up her ears and tuned into the conversation in the carriage.
Nipede then began to speak.
"The simplest way to judge someone’s power is by looking at their experiences and age," he said.
"For instance, Lord Brilliant, although you are the youngest Sword Saint in history, because you got promoted less than a year ago, in the eyes of many, you are actually the weakest among the Sword Saints," said Nipede.
"In contrast, that old Sword Saint in the palace, who has served three generations of kings and has been promoted for about sixty years—if he has not regressed but has continuously advanced in those sixty years, how strong would he be now?"
Undoubtedly, he would be much stronger than an average Sword Saint.
"Similarly, based on the time of promotion and the years they have been promoted, it’s also possible to roughly guess who among the Sword Saints of the Kingdom of Jinas is stronger or weaker," he added.
"Before you, Lord Brilliant, there were only six Sword Saints in the Kingdom of Jinas. The Meteor Sword Saint was the youngest and had been promoted only four or five years ago, so his strength among the Sword Saints is relatively weaker," explained Nipede.
"The One-eyed Sword Saint, who serves the Codelion Family, isn’t young, but he started as a slave and initially learned low-level sword skills. His early progress was slow, and he only rose later, so his strength is about the same as the slightly younger Shadow Sword Saint," Nipede said.
"The current head of the Borlay family, the seventh descendant of the Sword Saint family, has been constantly dueling since a young age and was promoted to Sword Saint at just 32. Now, more than a dozen years since his promotion, his strength is definitely strong, perhaps only second to that of the one in the palace," he stated.
"As for Lord Revin, he was promoted to Sword Saint ten years ago, earlier than the Shadow Sword Saint, the One-eyed Sword Saint, and the Meteor Sword Saint, only later than the palace’s Sword Saint and the Borlay family’s Sword Saint," continued Nipede.
Nipede’s point was very clear.
"Being entrusted by the King to guard the frontier is enough to demonstrate Lord Revin’s capability, even among Sword Saints he is considered among the best," Nipede said earnestly.
"If Lord Brilliant were to clash with Lord Revin, to be honest, those favoring Lord Revin would definitely outnumber those favoring you," he mentioned.
