Solo Swordmaster

#130. No regrets!

* * *

“Oh don’t come! If you take one more step from there, you can cut it off!”

“Hmm, this is so…”

A pale, tired face.

Pupils shaking as if there was an earthquake.

Even the parched lips and voice.

Looking at Ryu Kang-cheol, who perfectly embodies the image of a cornered criminal, Limon scratched his cheek.

“Hey, I understand you’re nervous. I understand, but…”

At least dozens of his alter egos were cut off by Limon.

Besides, Ryu Kang-chul’s skill seems to have the characteristic of sharing his memory and mind in real time with his alter ego.

It was enough to cause a seizure for Ryu Gang-cheol, who had memories of torture that he died dozens of times in a row in a short period of time without being able to resist.

Enough to use hostage play.

Of course, this was something Limon had experienced countless times, with no reason to be surprised.

“No matter what, what are you trying to do by taking her hostage?”

Even so, Limon trembled.

It was because Ryu Kang-cheol was a very strange person to be holding as a hostage.

“Isn’t that right, Branch Manager Wang?”

A middle-aged man with a mustache who was held in the hands of Kang-Cheol Ryu, bloodied with both arms cut off from the elbows and shoulders and knives stuck all over his body.

Wang Shikong coughed up blood.

And I received his words with a grin on my face.

“Who is not?”

“Shut up!”

Was it because he did not like the attitude of Wang Shikyeong, who was calm and weak on the subject of hostages?

Ryu Gang-cheol nervously pulled his hair and cut his neck slightly with a knife to make the blood flow.

A demonstration that shows that he can kill the king function at any time.

But it was in vain.

Not even Limon, even Wang Shikyeong, the person involved, continued talking without caring about the blood flowing down his neck.

“Because I haven’t seen it in a while, I’ve become speechless.”

“I was embarrassed to see this shabby. I tried hard to kill up to 10 of them, but I couldn’t handle more than that.”

“Ho, you’ve been working hard, haven’t you?”

“My name is Gajuni of the Shanghai royal family. Shouldn’t you save face by making a fuss like this?”

“From the moment you were taken hostage, it’s a shame, it’s nasty, and you don’t feel the slightest bit of gore?”

“It’s a word that hits the bone.”

Is this a hostage play?

Or are you having a chat?

For a while, I watched the two people talking calmly without being able to tell them apart.

Ryu Gang-cheol shouted out loud.

“Look, can’t you see this sword?”

“Does it look very good?”

“Then why are you so carefree? If you keep doing that, you could really kill this comrade!”

“That’s it.”

And I was lost again.

“…what did you just say?”

“Kill. Because I don’t care.”

“That’s what you say with hostages in front of you?!”

“I’m sorry, but Black Dragon Construction is not the place I signed a contract with the security company I run. There is no particular reason to protect it.”

It’s like you’re not really interested.

Ryu Kang-chul, who had been opening his mouth at Limon’s disdainful speech, gritted his teeth and argued.

“Don’t be pretentious! Aren’t you deliberately pretending to be indifferent to save the hostages?”

“If you think so, you can just kill me. What are you hesitating about the killer?”

“that…!”

Ryu Kang-cheol is at a loss for words.

Seeing him, the kingpin giggled.

“So, if you were going to take hostages, you chose your opponents well.”

“…Does your comrade smile? You’re telling me to see my comrade and tell him to die!”

“I should at least laugh if I’m going to die anyway.”

“Why are you so quick to give up!? If that’s the case, try begging for help!”

“Ha, he tells all kinds of funny jokes.”

Wang Fengxian laughed.

Then he nodded and pointed at Limon and continued.

“Look into those eyes, wraith. Do you see that through the eyes of someone who came to save someone?”

“…”

Ryu Kang-chul kept his mouth shut.

The moment I inadvertently turned my head following Wang Shi-sang’s gaze.

because I saw it

Limon stares at himself.

Without worry, worry, or nervousness.

Those golden eyes that were just languidly sinking and were so quiet that they were frightening.

Ryu Gang-cheol, who had seen many criminals and lunatics in the Liberation Brigade, knew it as soon as he saw his eyes.

It’s the killer’s eye.

If the hostage was to be used as a shield, he would cut down the royal function along with himself.

“It would have been better to capture even a passer-by and use them as hostages.”

As soon as I saw Limon, I realized it.

Therefore, when he heard the words of Wang Shikyeong, who had given up on salvation, Ryu Kang-cheol vomited his anger.

“What’s with all this dog shit?!”

It is astounding to see that dozens of alter egos that attacked each affiliate were wiped out in just a few tens of minutes.

Even the hostage taking as a last resort was a complete shovel.

It was so unfair that he was on the verge of tears.

“A bastard has to suffer dog-like things, so did you think you would get any blessings?”

“You didn’t know it would turn out like this.”

“Aren’t you the type to talk to others too?”

“So that’s what I’m saying. I’ve never been so sad that I’m not part of the White Dragon clan.”

“Okay? If a guy like you was born among those idiots, I think you could bet your head on the fact that you would have exploded with frustration.”

“Well, that is also true.”

Leaving Ryu Kang-cheol unattended, he briefly laughed while talking to Wang Shi-sang.

Limon asked casually.

“So is the will over?”

“Losers are eternal. The head of the family could not even protect his family, let alone take care of himself, so what can I say? Just kill me gracefully.”

“Come on, I’ll finish it with a single sword to make it easier to sew up the corpse later.”

“Thank you for your consideration.”

Ryu Kang-chul felt a chill.

It wasn’t just because of the premonition of cutting flesh that began to emanate from Limon, who had his sword stretched at an angle.

Limona, who has already made the death of the king function a fait accompli.

The royal function to be grateful for that.

Their appearances, which I could not understand, made me feel a sense of difference as if I was facing a madman who did not have common sense.

‘…It was a mistake.’

I shouldn’t have judged these crazy people with common sense.

No, he should have just let Eugene and Velos jump in and not get entangled himself.

But it’s already too late.

“Now then, it seems that there are no other alter egos left to cut down more…”

When he realized his mistake.

The god of death, whose golden eyes had a jet-black glow, was already aiming a sword at him.

“Let’s put an end to it.”

cringe

Ryu Kang-chul gritted his teeth.

He knew because he had already lost his life to Limon dozens of times.

That the black can’t be stopped

Whether you run away, fight, or lie down and pray.

As long as Limon decided to cut him, the only thing that ‘the current self’ could do was to persevere and die.

That’s why he had poison in his eyes.

“Girae-jung, if you want to see the end like that, show me. Instead, do not regret it!”

when I heard that cry.

Limon didn’t really care.

Whether it’s cursing or cursing, it was something he was accustomed to shouting out in a fit of rage before the villain died.

“hmm?”

but right after that.

Limon narrowed his eyes.

It wasn’t just because the atmosphere of Ryu Kang-chul, who gripped the knife tightly, suddenly changed.

It was because the eyes of the Constellation he was using to see if his alter ego remained were seeing something strange.

It’s obviously indoors.

The stars floating in the night sky shimmer, and the light of one of them brightly shines on Ryu Kang-cheol like a spotlight.

‘This…?’

Limon moved immediately.

He swung his sword at Ryu Kang-cheol.

It was a quick sword like flash war. It was a slash that would have blown his throat without even reacting to Ryu Kang-cheol.

Caang!

However, the sword could not cut Ryu Kang-cheol.

It was because the starlight that surrounded him deflected the sword.

When Limon, who was pushed by the unexpected reaction force, raised one eyebrow.

Ryu Gang-cheol, who mercilessly threw away Wang Shi-sik, who was holding him hostage, opened his mouth with a twisted smile.

* * *

The underground dragon’s palace under Leviathan.

Braided-haired man Bellos, who was fighting against Li Qingyu with all his might despite being cornered in a one-sided defense, hesitated for a moment.

And suddenly he raised his head.

“…this idiot.”

As a place is a place, the only thing above is the wide ceiling and the distant underground structure.

As if seeing something beyond it.

Velos made a stern expression.

“To borrow the power of ‘above’ without asking permission from me. I must have become really stupid after being called a fool.”

It’s been awhile since I’ve been so displeased.

Bellos, who used the code as a shield to resist Li Qingyu’s attack, closed his eyes coldly at the heavy shock transmitted from his hand.

Even if he is an idiot, Ryu Gang-cheol is also a specter of the liberation brigade.

If he goes against the brigade’s discipline and does such a thing, what will the situation be like outside?

Because I could tell without looking.

‘It was originally not allowed, but…’

Ryu Kang-chul’s actions have already crossed the line.

One’s own situation on the defensive.

Above all, the seriousness of the mission.

After considering everything, Bellos murmured to himself in a low voice.

“Okay, now that it’s like this, I’ll make a decision right here.”

Bellos stopped avoiding Li Qingyu.

Instead, he focused his will and activated a single skill while standing straight in place.

* * *

“What the fxxx?”

Yoo-jin, who ran amok here and there in search of Youin and Mukryongdae, muttered involuntarily.

It was because she was trapped in this black fog that swallowed all light, but she could only feel the flash of a single star in the far sky.

‘why?’

Eugene was confused.

But it was only for a moment.

Before she could even comprehend the situation, the existence of the second star, which began to shake violently, made her bewildered.

“…Comred is crazy.”

It is a forbidden power.

It was the reason why they were called ghosts, and it was a taboo that Ryu Kang-cheol and even Velos, who had command authority, should not use recklessly.

Even if they completed this mission safely, they could all be executed together for violating military discipline.

That’s why she didn’t even dare to use it until now.

“Totally a ghost.”

However, as long as Ryu Kang-chul and even Bellos had made their decision, she had no choice.

You can’t avoid joint responsibility if you only use yourself.

Above all, since things had already happened, it was not to her taste to wander around here.

“I don’t like it, but… Sorry.”

If possible, I wanted to fight until I died, but a mission is a mission.

Holding back the undesirable feelings, Yujin opened her mouth quietly as she connected herself with ‘Wei’.

““Adescent XII” Fool.”

“Descent of the Constellation V” Judgment.”

“Descent of the Constellation III Berserker.”

The moment when three brilliant stars fell from the distant sky as the three voices resounded with a slight time difference.

Aaaaaang!

-Roots cover the earth.

-The laws of the world are changing.

―The bloody madness exploded.
