Solo Swordmaster

Solo Swordmaster Chapter 1084

#Side Story 53. Even though he was not the main character (3)

* * *

he had many memories.

Of course, most of it was blurry and bland.

Hundreds of years of eternal life were bound to make even the deepest memories feel like just repeated daily life.

However, even for him, there was a rare place where his memories were vividly engraved.

Black pepper grows potatoes.

A sword master trains a spear.

Geomnyeong is taking a nap.

Geomrang celebrates and

Geomin meditates.

Geomgwang gets beaten up.

The place where Geomhu proposed to himself.

In the Age of Heroes, it was considered the center of the world, but as the Age of Iron began, it was ignored and abandoned by everyone, a place that had to be closed and left.

…The sword tower.

That was why.

The reason he looked at the sword tower with deep emotion.

Even after the sword tower closed, he often visited this place, but he did not take care of it.

Not only did I have no money to repair it since all my assets were donated to the country, but more than anything, I did not want to leave behind any regrets.

Therefore, seeing the intact sword tower for the first time in decades made him feel complicated.

I looked at the tower like that for a long time.

He suddenly opened his mouth.

“You restored it well.”

“It wasn’t that difficult.”

“I guess so.”

Limon chuckled at the words of the man who wore a monocle on one eye and covered the other eye with his hair.

Even though it may be empty words to others, he knew that it was really easy for him.

It was natural.

This man is none other than Geomgun Lee Cheon-gi.

Because he was the most versatile player and ultimate monarch in the world, having acquired over a thousand skills.

Is it a loophole in the contract?

Or is there another reason?

Even after Limon destroyed the constellations, the skills players received from the constellations remained.

In fact, most players, especially high-level players, were eroded by the power of the stars and died while serving as the main members of the Starlight Church.

In any case, it was truly ironic that the Sword Tower was restored through the power of the constellations that were destroyed by Limon.

Well, it’s not a new thing.

Life is a series of variables.

Compared to the fact that Lee Cheon-gi, who was a monarch, became his disciple and even learned the sword, it was not that surprising.

“Have you recovered the sword?”

“I am still able to hold a sword, although it is still lacking.”

“That’s fast.”

“It is thanks to your teachings.”

“Thank goodness I didn’t teach you much.”

Limon said with a strange expression.

Of course, the reason he accepted Lee Cheon-gi as his disciple was because he saw potential.

But that possibility is slim.

Among the countless talents and geniuses gathered from all over the world, in the end, less than one in a thousand was able to overcome the barrier of swordsmanship.

It is truly a miracle that he acquired the skill of a sword by simply learning the swordsmanship patterns hundreds of millions of times.

It was a stroke of luck that was possible thanks to the struggle he had with Geomgwang.

Of course, surviving the fight with the Sword Master in the first place was even more ridiculous than that.

“I already heard what you wanted, but… are you really going to do it?”

“yes.”

“It won’t be easy.”

“I know.”

That was why.

The reason why Limon had no choice but to make an even more mysterious expression.

However, despite his reaction, Lee Cheon-gi was unperturbed and continued speaking calmly.

“After I gained enlightenment, I looked around the world and realized.”

From London to the Holy League of Egypt, the Russian Khanate, the Federation of China and the United States of America to Brazil.

Inquiry was made of the seven territories where most of the entire human race was gathered, as well as other settlements and villages.

What he realized.

Lee Cheon-gi spoke softly.

“How close to impossible it is to teach a sword master, and how heavy the responsibility a sword tower master must bear.”

―Finding the Sword Master’s wood is more difficult than finding a single jewel in the vast ocean.

It was natural.

After Limon built the sword tower.

Over the course of nearly 900 years, only a handful of talented people could be found while traveling around the world.

Even among them, only 7 people obtained the sword.

The ability to become a sword master was so rare that only one person could become a sword master every 100 years.

From the Sword Emperor to the Sword King and the Black Sword Saint.

Those who learned the art of swordsmanship on their own without any instruction were all the more remarkable.

That was why.

The reason why Limon had no choice but to look at Lee Cheon-gi with a complicated expression.

“Knowing that, why do you want to rebuild the Sword Tower?”

To Limon’s question:

Lee Cheon-gi was silent for a moment.

Yes it was.

This is a time when at least one more hand is needed to restore human civilization.

Moreover, the reason why he, who can play a bigger role in the modern era than any other absolute person, has been living in seclusion for the past half year was not just to get his swordsmanship in order.

The bigger reason was to prepare for rebuilding this place, the Sword Tower.

To become the new tower owner of Sword Tower.

To be honest.

There was a lot I could say.

From repaying the favor received from Limon to creating a new era.

Since the threat of the apocalypse that the constellations warned against still remains, it is especially good to have at least one absolute person, especially the Sword Master.

nevertheless.

Lee Cheon-gi did not say such foolish things.

However, after looking at Limon with deeply sunken eyes, he revealed his honest feelings.

“Because I want to become stronger.”

only one.

To become strong.

I became a player.

Even though he rose to the position of monarch.

Nevertheless, he gave up everything, became his disciple, and rose to the absolute level of a sword master.

And Limon, who was looking at his disciple who was still seeking a higher state, opened his mouth heavily.

“…Sword Tower is not a means of training. “It’s definitely not a shortcut.”

“But because it is slow, it is the hardest road.”

“….”

“Just like Master said.”

Lee Cheon-gi’s words.

Limon could not deny it.

The power of the dragon slayer sword was so great that he was able to reign as the best sword in the world and even defeat the constellations.

But what played a bigger role than that was the experience of teaching students at Geomtap.

If I hadn’t naturally acquired their sword skills while teaching seven students and continued to train them, I wouldn’t have gained the strength I have now.

Still.

Skills as a monarch and enlightenment as a sword master.

With that alone, he already has the power to rule as an absolute power.

After looking at his disciple who was willing to turn his back on wealth and fame just to become stronger, Limon quietly opened his mouth.

“You have to give up a lot to take charge of the Sword Tower.”

“I know.”

“In some ways, you will have to take a more difficult and distant path than obtaining the sword.”

“I am already prepared.”

“Someday you may regret this choice.”

“Maybe so.”

Stupid self.

Lee Cheon-gi did not have blind faith.

It took even Limon hundreds of years to raise his first disciple, Joan of Arc.

How many years would it take for him to teach his students, as he had no choice but to repeat and master the skills due to his limited talent?

It was impossible to even dare to guess.

In that sense, this is just a waste of time.

Rather than becoming stronger, it was a choice that could have resulted in tens or even hundreds of years being wasted.

“But I believe this is the best option for me, at least for now.”

“….”

There’s no way he doesn’t know that fact.

Nevertheless, take a moment to look at the disciple who declared without a moment of hesitation with deeply sunken eyes.

In the end, Limon nodded.

“good night. “If you wish so much, I will give you the position of the second lord of the Sword Tower.”

“thank you.”

“What kind of gratitude can you give to a teacher who passed the burden on to you?”

Limon chuckled.

Now that a new era has opened, those who want to become sword masters will appear again.

However, now that he had gone beyond being the guardian deity of mankind and ruled the world as the Dragon King of Swords, he could not afford to raise disciples again.

The mere fact that Lee Cheon-gi took charge of the sword tower in this yard was an unheard of complaint for him.

Even more so in the sense that, as he said, we need at least one sword master in preparation for the apocalypse.

That was why.

The reason why Limon opened his mouth with a meaningful look on his face.

“I’m not really in his place, but… I’ll give you a gift to commemorate taking over as the lord of the Sword Tower.”

“How could I ask for a gift from you, Master?”

“It would be better not to refuse. “This is a gift that all of your executioners also received.”

Slurp.

If you decline, you will regret it.

Lee Cheon-gi, who had maintained a calm expression despite Limon’s slightly playful words, became bright when he saw him slowly draw his sword.

“Now, draw your sword.”

“…Do you mean to give me instructions?”

“no. “It means that we can compete with each other as swordsmen.”

“….”

“There is no need to hesitate.”

Maybe it’s because it was such an unexpected gift.

Limone grinned as he looked at Lee Cheon-gi, who was locked in silence.

“Because we are swordsmen.”

Before they were teacher and disciple.

A swordsman who has seen the tip of the sword.

As a swordsman who has reached the tip of his sword.

Since two swordsmen have met, it is natural for them to want to clash their swords with each other.

Before this is a gift to Lee Cheon-gi, it is also something to satisfy his own greed.

Lee Cheon-gi, who was staring at Limon, who spoke as frankly as he had suggested to the other students he taught at Sword Tower, eventually reached out to his waist.

Sreung.

quietly.

What comes out is a sword.

It is not as flashy as the monarch-level item Arondite he used in the past.

However, at least the sword was upright and balanced enough to be used in a fight between sword masters.

Lee Cheon-gi suddenly remembered.

The time when the Republic of Goryeo existed.

Meeting Limon for the first time.

The fight I had with him.

Now that I think about it, it was a truly shameful and foolish fight.

I mastered the Yam Dragon Killing Sword by simply replicating the sword technique with skills, but then I became conceited and just swung my sword until it broke.

Still, there was that fight.

And seeing Limon’s sword at that time.

Because I wanted to learn it myself.

Lee Cheon-gi can now draw his sword without shame even against Limon.

Of course he knew.

He realized that he had only now earned the right to face Limon, and that no matter how hard he tried, he would never be able to defeat or surpass him.

Maybe not just now, but forever.

Of course, I completed the Auror Blade.

Limon, who was reborn as the Dragon King of Swords by fusing dragon psionics, has now become a being that surpasses even the standard of being a sword master.

But it didn’t matter.

Thousands of years have passed.

Even if it takes tens of thousands of years.

There is a teacher who will one day reach the tip of the sword just by continuing to follow his back.

For that one reason alone, he was able to turn his back on all wealth and glory and swing the sword with joy.

That’s why I put on a faint smile.

he said

“I will go.”

To Lee Cheon-gi.

Limon didn’t bother to answer.

He just smiled and raised his sword as if he didn’t need to say anything to the swordsman.

Just like that…

with a long, long dance.

…The eighth disciple of Limon, formerly known as the Infinite Lord, became the second lord of the Sword Tower.
