Solo Swordmaster

Episode #136. Nothing will happen.

thud!

‘At least this much….’

The moment he was hit by some seomseom corn.

Bellos slightly twisted his lips.

Unlike the momentum that shook even the air as if something huge was about to happen, the power in her hands was too light.

Of course, it must have been thanks to the『Unarmed Attack Nullification』used just before.

Anyway, as long as Li Qingyu’s attack was nullified, there was no need to be wary of her anymore,

he thought.

cooong!

The chest that Li Qingyu’s hand touched.

That is until one petal separates from the black lotus mark imprinted there, and the heavy impact makes your heart ache.

But that was just the beginning.

thump thump thump!

“What?!”

Each time one petal falls.

The black lotus becomes more and more vivid.

The shock, which grows more intense in proportion to it, shakes the internal organs and creaks the joints.

And so, the moment when all eight petals finally scattered and black lotus marks penetrated deep into his body.

Aaaaaang!

“Ke-heo-eok!”

Bellos collapsed, vomiting blood.

This is because the eight petals dug into the five organs resonated with each other and caused a tremendous explosion.

The previously amplified psionics were further amplified through resonance and exploded all at once at vital points inside the body.

What if the body had not been strengthened through 『Descent of the Constellation』?

In addition, what if the impact of the placenta had not been nullified thanks to [Nullification of Bare Handed Attacks]?

It’s basic that the intestines are torn to shreds.

It was a terrifying attack that wouldn’t be strange even if the whole body exploded.

“Well, it seems that the five seasons were not enough. Wouldn’t it have been better to have meat seasoning?”

A girl muttering with a carefree face unbefitting of the person who just delivered that terrifying blow.

Towards Li Qingyu, Velos exclaimed.

“This… monster…!”

“A monster is such a big word for a delicate girl like me.”

Li Qingyu smiled brightly.

Seeing her, Bellos shuddered.

It wasn’t just because of the unimaginable force that he had been keenly aware of from a blow earlier.

It’s because I realized the moment I saw the dull eyes that contained only the cold, unlike the smiley face.

That this victory was a natural result for Li Qing-yu, not even worthy of rejoicing.

After all, there was no odds of winning from the beginning.

It is also the fate that befalls you.

‘No, not yet!’

Before despair overwhelms my heart.

With the pain stimulating his head, Bellos gathered his mind and focused.

He is the specter of the Liberation Brigade with great protection. He wasn’t weak enough to despair over something like this.

‘This much is within the assumed range.’

Considering the notoriety of the Seven Dragons.

I knew from the start that this could happen.

That’s why, unlike them, they deliberately attacked affiliates and weakened Leviathan as much as possible before going ahead with the raid.

Of course, it would be best if he could kill Li Qingyu, but if that was impossible, he had to choose the next best option.

‘Then what I have to do is…’

While spitting up blood like a waterfall, he violently organized his thoughts for a while.

The moment priorities are set.

Bellos immediately sprung into action.

“Enforce the public transportation law!”

Dig!

It happened almost in an instant.

Right after Bellos grabbed a nearby banner and activated his skill.

The banner floated in the air, and with Belos’ body on it, it moved away from Li Qingyu like the wind.

[Ah!?]

Yuna-kyung widened her eyes.

It was because Velos, who was flying on the banner, reached out with one hand and picked it up as if snatching something.

The box containing the dark violin that Li Qingyu dropped during the fight.

It seems that there is nothing left to see.

[That human… is he eating and bouncing right now?]

As soon as he packed the box, Yuna-kyung was dumbfounded as he saw Velos soaring vertically through the corridor without looking back.

It was because he had no idea that he, who had been so arrogant, would back off like this.

“I was able to take a detour like this and that.”

[Princess sister, what are you doing?! We have to run fast! Then what if he runs away by teleportation!]

“I’d like to do that too, if possible, but I can’t catch up quickly right now.”

[Yes?]

“Because I’m currently under the [high-speed action prohibition] restriction.”

[…uh? Wasn’t that restriction lifted?]

Contrary to herself who was about to die in haste, Yuna-kyung put on a puzzled expression as she urged Li Ching-yu to leisurely follow Velos.

Although Li Qingyu continued to move slowly, he did not know that it was because of the restrictions.

“No, the restrictions are still there. Including everything else.”

[Then, how are you moving now? It may not be that only 『bipedalism prohibited』 has disappeared…]

“That’s because they don’t walk on two legs.”

[Yes?]

I was dumbfounded for a moment wondering what kind of tea drinking sound this is.

Yuna-kyung soon realized.

The bizarre movement of Li Qing-yu, who keeps jumping, which he had not noticed until now because of his natural movement.

[Wait a minute, could it be that you’re running around on one foot instead of two, so you’re not getting restricted?!]

“That’s how it is.”

[Does that make sense?!]

Yuna-kyung was dumbfounded.

I don’t know if it’s a common unique skill.

It was because I couldn’t believe that 『The Rule of Law』, which is comparable to an absolute skill, became a breadwinner for such a pun.

“It makes sense.”

However, Li Qingyu answered naturally.

Since it is 『Rule of Law』, not another skill, it can be broken with this kind of joke.

“Rule of Law is definitely a tricky skill. In that it can produce all kinds of effects, and it can enforce the laws it sets on others.”

Offensive defense secondary recovery and more.

There are very few skills that can produce all of those effects.

In that respect, 『Rule of Law』, which could be used widely, had a distinct advantage over other unique skills.

“But from what I can see, it seems to have as many glaring weaknesses as its powerful effects.”

[Weakness?]

“First of all, why did he get attacked by me almost defenselessly?”

[Uh… Unnie hit me so well?]

“I would have done it normally, but I can’t move fast because of the restrictions right now?”

[Come to think of it, I see. Why couldn’t that be stopped?]

Yuna-kyung tilted her head.

Li Qingyu’s attack wasn’t that hard to block now that it was impossible to move fast because of the restrictions.

“Maybe it’s the same reason he’s been floating in the air since before?”

The moment I heard Li Qingyu’s words.

Yuna-kyung opened her eyes wide.

Since when has Bellos been floating in the air and moving?

When I thought about it, a thought suddenly came to my mind.

[Could it be because of the 『high-speed movement ban』 and the 『bipedal walking ban』? You said you were also limited by your own skills?]

“Because the law is originally equal.”

As long as Skill is not bribed, isn’t it natural that everyone will not be able to do what is prohibited by law.

Li Qingyu put it simply.

Looking at her, Yuna-kyung groaned.

[Then, didn’t you use [Prohibit Space Movement] from the beginning when you were chasing me earlier, or why did you deliberately fly away?]

“If you block space movement, you’ll be eliminating the escape route yourself. I probably didn’t want to write it.”

[Then, if you ban it first and release the skill later… No, you can’t do that, so you couldn’t recklessly put restrictions on it.]

“Yes, that’s probably the second drawback.”

What if you have to follow the rules you set for yourself and can’t simply break them?

It was by no means a small drawback.

[…I didn’t know 『Rule of Law』 was such a flawed skill.]

“It has no choice but to be like that.”

Yuna-kyung is dumbfounded by the unexpected gap in the legendary player 『Rule of Law』, which was called a unique skill close to the court grand duke cheat skill.

To her, Li Qingyu spoke plainly.

“No matter how well a law is made, it will eventually leave loopholes.”

[The princess’ sister is very convincing…]

The seven princesses of the seven dragons, a criminal organization.

One of the masters of the Seven Dragons Group, who has acquired all the wealth in the world at the same time.

In other words, Yuna-kyung stuck out her tongue at the words of the girl who could be said to be the best expert on illegality and evasion.

In addition to the mental system that cleverly exploited the loopholes of 『The Rule of Law』, the observational power that analyzed other people’s unique skills up to that point with only a few circumstances.

At this point, he felt sorry for Belos, who ran away after being fooled by Li Qingyu.

But that’s for a while.

Yuna-kyung suddenly came to her senses.

[No wait! Now is not the time to calmly analyze skills! We have to catch him quickly!]

“Should we do that?”

[What are you asking for the obvious? He even took the team leader’s violin, what if I miss it!]

Yuna-kyung stomped her foot.

It was only after the frenzy and the violin was taken away that I would end up like a dog chasing chickens.

“Probably nothing will happen.”

[So! Nothing… Yes?]

Yuna-kyung puts a dumbfounded expression on her carefree answer.

Looking at her, Li Qingyu smiled.

“Did you forget? That this place is Leviathan.”

Li Qingyu slightly raised his head.

And as he watched Velos slip through the Underground Dragon Palace with a banner on his back, he continued talking quietly.

“And while Leviathan is easy to get in, it’s not a place you can get out of.”

* * *

“Enforcement of the Emergency Welfare Support Act.”

““Enforcement of the Medical Protection Act”.”

Bellos, who had been coughing up blood, struggled to breathe while struggling to activate the healing skill.

Fortunately, the treatment worked.

The coughing up of blood that had been mixed with fragments of the internal organs was much reduced, and strength gradually returned to the body, which was at the level of being unable to move.

But that’s all.

The pain as if the five organs were being torn to shreds was still there, and the body was barely able to move.

The damage Li Qingyu’s blow left him was fatal.

‘It’s such a dog thing.’

Bellos murmured inwardly.

I wouldn’t know again if I was dealing with a monarch.

To be treated like this by a princess of the Seven Dragons who was a thousand years behind the times.

He didn’t know that if he had shown this to Ryu Kang-cheol, he would vomit blood and die from shame rather than injury.

‘Still, the mission has not failed yet.’

The only consolation is the existence of a box held in one arm.

If he escaped with only this, he could have endured the humiliation of defeat.

For the specters of the Liberation Brigade who received great protection, the most important thing was the mission they received from ‘above’.

‘Now all that’s left is to escape, but…’

Bellos judged quickly.

As long as he was still bound by 『No High Speed Action』, it would take time for Li Qingyu to pursue him.

That was enough to get him out of Leviathan.

The problem was after that.
