Solo Swordmaster

#134. I’ll make a suggestion.

* * *

“『Sphere of Catapulting』.”

The moment a cold voice rang.

Hundreds and thousands of pebbles flying from all sides.

A baptism of death with the power close to that of an artillery shell, let alone a bullet.

But that death does not reach.

Gently pour it out with the back of your hand, lightly trample it with your toe, bounce it off with your palm, lightly snatch it with your fingers, and so on.

The image of a girl calmly collecting hundreds of stones with one hand without moving a single step is fantastic.

The ultimate in beauty reminiscent of a dancer dancing among the fluttering petals.

“『Fire Sphere』.”

Like I knew it would be like that.

What followed immediately after the stone was a raging fire.

A cataclysm of pain that soars from the ground and covers all directions, melting flesh, melting bones, and burning humans.

But the pain is blocked.

The girl stomps her feet lightly.

When the black mist that spreads like a cloud suppresses the flames.

The dark sutras bursting out from the lightly shaken fingertips extinguish the flames at once, like a breath blowing out a candle.

“『Decapitation Sentence』.”

The blade aimed at that gap.

It’s as if he’s about to stop breathing.

The blade of execution, aiming at the neck precisely and falling at a speed that is invisible to the naked eye.

But the execution misses.

It doesn’t even seem necessary to stop it.

After avoiding the blade by simply leaning back to the point where the back of the head might touch the heel.

As it is, touch the floor with one hand and spin round and round as if going over a somersault and straighten your body.

Seeing Li Qingyu, the black-haired girl who was unscathed despite the series of conversion attacks, Bellos opened his mouth quietly.

“A half-breed of a primitive lizard is tenacious.”

“Then you are the one who claims to be the absolute, but your hands are not very sharp.”

Despite Li Qingyu’s provocative words, Bellos was not shaken in the slightest.

Rather, it was just a cold smile.

“Feel free to talk. After all, you can’t beat me.”

“You are only confident.”

“Isn’t your appearance proving that?”

“That’s…”

The moment I heard that.

Li Qingyu put on a troubled expression.

It’s not that it wasn’t, but the way she looked now couldn’t be said to be too good.

Even though there were no major injuries, the torn sleeves and the slightly burnt hem of her dress indicated how dire her situation was.

“You’re not going to be a gentleman to point out a lady’s dress.”

In the end, Li Qingyu chose counterattack instead of counterargument.

It was secretly shaking hands.

A dark mirror shot without a trace.

It was a fatal blow that would cause even a high-level player with a strong body to vomit blood if hit defenselessly.

Pew!!!

But the raid failed.

It was because the black spectacle was blocked in the air and exploded before it could even reach Velos.

“No matter how many times I try, it doesn’t work. That level of attack cannot pierce my code.”

Bellos sneered coldly.

Yuna-kyung trembled as she saw the page torn out of the law book hovering around it.

It was because he had seen that thin sheet of paper move automatically and block Li Qingyu’s dark mirror.

[Ugh. It’s like a dirty cheater to use even cheats because I don’t have enough cheat skills!]

It was something to curse at.

『High-speed action prohibited』.

『Bipedalism Banned』.

「Act on Protection of Instruments of Execution」, etc.

There are already three restrictions on Li Qingyu.

This alone was, in fact, like fighting with your hands and feet tied.

Moreover, considering that the pressure of hundreds of tons is still applied, and considering that the box is held in one arm, it is surprising that it has held up so far.

But because of that damn code, most attacks won’t work.

As Yun Na-kyung said, this was a cheat itself fighting with the outcome of a win or loss already decided.

“Are you a cheat?”

[Do you think the princess sister is cowardly too?]

“No, I think it’s a bit lacking to call it a cheat.”

[…Are you kidding me now?]

“Because it’s my honest opinion.”

[What on earth do I have to do to feel that kind of sentiment in this situation?!]

But even in the midst of this, Li Qingyu did not despair or give up.

He just looked at Bellus with a calm expression.

“If it’s a cheat, it should be completely impossible to counter, but I think I can deal with this person’s skills anyway.”

[I didn’t ask for that…!]

“You’re talking funny bullshit.”

When Yuna-kyung is dumbfounded.

Bellos suddenly interrupted the conversation between the two.

Li Qingyu calmly asked on behalf of Yuna-kyung, who was gripped by the terrifying cheat player’s intervention.

“Do you think this is bullshit?”

“Then isn’t it?”

“Yes, I have a reason.”

Li Qingyu looked directly at Belos.

Then, raising her white and beautiful hand and placing it on her own firm chest, she continued talking quietly.

“That I am still alive. That in itself is proof that you have not yet fully entered the ranks of absolutes like monarchs.”

Cheat skill is the power of the monarch.

It’s like proof of the absolute.

And if Velos was truly an absolute being on the same level as the monarch, he should have been able to kill himself a long time ago.

So, as long as he is still alive, he has no right to dare to call himself an absolute.

Li Qingyu speaks calmly.

That’s why Bellos put on a cold expression when he heard those words that sounded like purer sincerity.

“Provocation is to be done only when one can afford it, stupid bitch.”

“I didn’t mean to provoke you. I just wanted to tell you one thing.”

“What do you mean?”

“The fact is that even if you get out of this place safely, you will never be able to survive at the hands of the Seven Dragons.”

Li Qingyu said calmly.

Clearly, Bellos is strong and his teammates may have powers beyond the big supply players.

But even so, only three.

On the other hand, in the Seven Dragons, there were only seven princesses like her, and dozens of masters, each comparable to a major supply player.

What if you take into account the enormous wealth of the Seven Dragon Group?

Looking at the strength of the organization, regardless of individual strength, the Liberation Brigade could never defeat the Chilryonghoe.

“So let me make a suggestion.”

Looking at Bellos with eyes as deep as obsidian, Li Qingyu continued quietly.

“Please leave quietly for now. And from now on, if you do not oppose the Seven Dragons, I will not pursue you.”

[Eek! Are you serious?!]

Yuna-kyung opened her beak.

It’s a really unthinkable proposition.

It was too benign a request for a truce to be proposed by the Seven Dragons, notorious for washing blood with blood.

“I see, that is a good suggestion.”

Was it because he knew how unconventional the conditions were?

Bellos briefly exclaimed.

and smiled coldly.

“In the sense that it’s funny enough to make you laugh.”

Kwaaang!

[Kyaaak! Princess sister?!]

It happened in an instant.

While listening to Li Qingyu’s story, Bellos’ hand, which had been quietly scanning the law book, stopped at one point.

A cartwheel suddenly came out and hit her.

The fact that the limbs of Li Qingyu, who was staggering and spitting out blood, was entwined with chains rising from all sides and hung from the wheels of the cart.

“…A surprise attack in the middle of a negotiation is really rude.”

Maybe it’s because the chains entangled the limbs.

Bellos said sarcastically to Li Qingyu, who even dropped the box he was holding in his arms and criticized him.

“That is amazing. To think that begging for his life was a negotiation.”

“I don’t remember begging for my life.”

“Don’t talk nonsense. No matter what you say, isn’t it just begging you to step down if you’re afraid of retaliation from the Seven Dragons?”

Bellos was cynical.

He declared that he would kill himself.

What they do as soon as the situation becomes unfavorable is, at best, a naive threat borrowing the prestige of the organization.

He was the strongest soldier of the Seven Dragons, so no matter what he did, he couldn’t help but laugh at the flowers in the greenhouse.

“It seems that you are not afraid of the retaliation of the Seven Dragons.”

“of course.”

“Why? You know that no matter how strong you are, you can’t face the Seven Dragons with only three of them.”

“What a stupid question.”

Even in this situation, Bellos smiled coldly, laughing at Li Qingyu’s stupidity, who seemed to believe that he still had the upper hand.

“Did you really think that the three of us were the only ghosts of the Liberation Brigade?”

“Does that mean there are still more people like you out there?”

Li Qingyu looks at herself with obsidian-like eyes while making a surprised expression.

Bellos laughed at her.

“There are 12 ghosts in the liberation brigade. All of them, like me, have received great blessings.”

“That’s… definitely threatening.”

“It won’t be threatening.”

If there were 12 players like Velos who were in the ranks of the absolute, even the Seven Dragons would not be able to withstand it.

To Li Qingyu, who was anxious with calm eyes, Bellos asserted.

“If we go forward in earnest, I can guarantee that the Seven Dragons can be destroyed within five years.”

“It can’t be. Even if the Liberation Brigade had that kind of potential, the teenage guild wouldn’t look at it, right?”

“Ha, do you think the teenage guild will side with you?”

Laughter leaking out of nowhere.

Deep eyes watching over it.

“Because if our Seven Dragons collapse, a worldwide economic collapse will occur.”

“If you only believe in that kind of thing, you better change your mind now. Because…”

while talking passionately.

Bellos suddenly shut his mouth.

It was because I suddenly felt uncomfortable.

‘Why?’

Li Qingyu has already been captured by his skills, and can take his breath away with a gesture.

However, it was because he could not immediately recall the reason why he was telling such a story to the person he would kill.

“Why do you say it’s good to change your mind?”

But the moment he heard that question and saw Li Qingyu’s eyes.

Bellos naturally realized.

because she asked

It means that there is no need or need to worry about anything beyond that.

“that… Ugh?!”

So Bellos, who was about to answer her question naturally, contorted his face with a sudden stabbing pain in his head.

Then, holding on to his temples, he stumbled and hurriedly opened the code and shouted.

“The 『Legislation of the Mind Control Prohibition Act』!”

Pagang!

It was right after that.

After feeling something broken.

The fog that covered my head disappeared along with the pain like being stabbed with a needle.

Instead, uncontrollable anger covered his face.

“You dare to be a hybrid of this primitive creature!”

how angry

Bellos glared at him with eyes as if he were going to kill himself, abandoning even his formality.

Even seeing him, Li Qingyu was not afraid at all.

Just like always, but more strangely than always, he had a strange and bewitching smile.

“There are still only 12 ghosts in the Liberation Brigade right now?”

deep as the abyss

Dark like a swamp.

As beautiful as the moon.

More enchanting because it’s dangerous like the night.

Bellos gritted his teeth until they bleed as he looked at the eyes that made him feel dizzy just by looking at them, wanting to kneel down and kiss his instep.
