Solo Swordmaster

#140. Nope?

* * *

Take a step.

Like putting marbles under your feet and rolling them.

smooth and soft

quickly and accurately.

Whoa!

It was a heavy hammer that brushed my feet with a slight difference.

The blow that would have shattered bones if it was just a moment’s notice doesn’t stop there, it continues to pursue.

swinging towards the knee

Trying to break my shin.

Slam your feet down heavily.

Let’s dodge it, and the hammer sack walks our ankles for a long time.

He stepped on the handle of the hammer and stabbed his sword at an angle, like a sweetfish that was going against the waves.

twice on each arm.

twice on the knee.

heart three times.

Even so, Eugene does not stop.

Although seven holes were punctured in the body, the joints of the limbs were pierced, and the heart was split.

Limon pulls the hammer he’s on, closes the distance, and strikes his body with his shoulder.

The moment I jumped lightly and was about to step on that shoulder and fall over.

hammer following him.

It reads Limon’s movement with an animalistic sixth sense, and rotates its body with the force it pulled.

The moment it brushes against your feet, you are hit by a blow that shatters all of your leg bones, turning your body upside down in the air with nowhere to escape.

And a sword that extends downward.

The moment the soaring hammer collided with the fallen sword.

The sword, which shook as if it were alive, slipped past the hammer and slid like a snake along the hilt of the hammer, slicing through the hand.

cooong!

A hammer that falls and cuts off your fingers.

I don’t have to listen to it again.

Instead, hold the end of the handle with only one hand and use it as an axis to launch a kick.

Just as he was about to land, the kick that flew in ended up spilling out with his sword, and his body was pushed backwards with only the remaining shock.

‘amazing.’

Limon plunged his sword into the floor.

As soon as I forcibly stopped my body from being pushed away like that, I ran towards Yujin again and muttered in my heart.

‘If it’s just talent, he’s a genius that only comes out once in a hundred years.’

I could tell just by looking at the movement.

What a great fighting sense Eugene was born with.

It was a natural talent that made fun of even the masters of the Seven Dragons just by swinging the hammer according to instinct.

‘It’s such a waste of talent.’

However, what Limon felt about Eugene was regret, not wariness.

It wasn’t just because the talent that might have been able to see the tip of the sword with a chance of one in a thousand if he had learned well was neglected.

As a swordsman, I felt that I had to kill such a genius.

‘I don’t intend to keep him alive though.’

But Limon did not waver.

Now Eugene is the enemy.

And he was not one to keep his enemies alive out of mere sympathy.

Rather, thinking of his talent, he only made up his mind to kill Eugene on the spot.

‘The problem is how to kill.’

Awesome!

The moment Eugene was about to swing the hammer.

Limon slipped into her arms and slashed her throat.

Blood gushing out like a fountain.

head falling to the floor.

However, the rest of the body steadfastly wields the hammer.

Limon, who was already expecting it, stepped back and dodged the hammer.

Then, seeing that Eugene’s hair, which had fallen, came back to the top of his neck and naturally attached to it, he narrowed his eyes.

‘Isn’t this enough to die?’

A black magician who transfers souls.

A shaman resurrected from a single cell.

Demons who did not have the concept of death itself.

For Limon, who had lived for a long time and cut down various enemies, immortality was not a new wonder.

But even Limon couldn’t end Eugene’s life easily.

Second, the reason why he did not die no matter how much he cut vital points was because the sensation transmitted from the tip of the sword was so strange.

‘There’s nothing I can’t do to kill Jung…’

It’s Limon who even cut down the Demon God.

I knew at least a few ways to forcibly cut off immortality.

‘I don’t feel good about it.’

Fu-wook!

However, instead of trying to take Eugene’s life, Limon lightly swung his sword and pierced another hole in his body.

It was because he felt that aiming for her immortality was dangerous.

‘It’s not like the usual immortality, it just feels a bit more worrisome.’

It was for this reason that Limon raised the power of the Constellation.

So, he thought that if he looked at Eugene with the eyes of a constellation, he might be able to find out the cause of this unpleasant feeling.

But the moment he saw Eugene with black eyes.

He couldn’t help but pause.

“…what are you?”

Maybe it’s because I saw such an unexpected sight.

Hearing what Limon said casually, Eugene tilted his head as he was about to swing the hammer.

“me? Are you a partner’s partner?”

“I didn’t ask in that sense.”

“Then what does it mean?”

You don’t seem to understand the intent of the question.

Looking at Eugene who was puzzled, Limon put on a serious expression.

After obtaining the eyes to see the constellation.

He saw many players.

Including people like Ryu Gang-cheol, who was almost eaten up entirely by the Constellation, and Lee Chun-gi, who had difficulty finding traces of the Constellation except for the pupils.

But even as Limon, he was the first player like Eugene.

“Did you get the Constellation you contracted with and then sell it?”

Clear eyes and a pretty face.

Even clean skin there.

Limon even felt a kind of mystery at the appearance of Eugene, who could not find any trace of the constellation.

Of course, traces may be hidden in places that are not visible on the outside.

However, considering the appearance of the other players, whose traces were clearly visible like possessions with a seal on them, it didn’t seem like that.

“…partner. There are some things even a partner shouldn’t ask.”

Just looking at Eugene’s reaction, it was like that.

She laughed even when her throat was blown off.

Because the way he avoided the question with a straight face was revealing that ideal more clearly.

Seeing her like that, Limon narrowed his eyes.

Aaaaaang!

A loud explosion rang out.

Building debris pours down like rain.

A figure fell between Limon and Eugene, who were confronting each other.

From the messy, torn armor to the half-scorched upper body, the frost-covered lower body and the claw marks on the back.

A man with pigtails who had fallen into nothing but rags.

Looking at Bellos, Eugene blinked.

“Why are you like Comred?”

The answer came from above their heads, not from the fallen Bellos.

“I think he will have many regrets in the future. I helped a little to reduce that regret even a little bit.”

“You finished that sooner than I thought.”

“I was a bit inconvenient to deal with for a long time, so I tried to overdo it.”

Watching the two thousand flags slowly descend from the air, Limon smiled.

It was because I could roughly guess why Lee Chun-gi was showing such an uncomfortable expression against Velos.

“Keuuugh… 『Enforcement of the Special Prison Act』.”

Koo Goo Goo!

Is it because of the strengthened status?

Bellos staggered and got up even though he was almost turned into porridge.

And by making a wall rise with the skill, he created a labyrinth that isolates himself and Eugene from others.

But that’s all.

Belos himself, as well as the others, knew best that he was now in a difficult condition to stand, let alone fight any more.

He was the only one who prided himself on being absolute.

It was impossible to deal with Lee Chun-gi, who showed his sincerity with his already injured body.

‘Damn it!’

However, the obvious result did not give Bellos any consolation.

It was because he couldn’t stand the fact that he had been manipulated by Li Qingyu and had escaped, but he could not escape and ended up in this situation.

And he, who could not accept his failure even because of his pride, found the cause from the outside.

“What are you doing, mad comrade?”

“me? As you can see, on mission.”

“Why are you not doing your job properly?”

“Did you do it right?”

“Don’t talk nonsense.”

Yujin, who was suddenly reprimanded after fighting hard, widened her eyes.

But Bellos’ gaze was cold.

It was because he thought that if Eugene had put the Leviathan away properly, he wouldn’t have been caught in this way.

It wasn’t just a quibble to pass responsibility.

In fact, because Bellos had grounds to conclude that Eugene was fooling around.

“If you really meant to do it right, why haven’t you used your unique skill yet?”

“…”

The moment I heard that.

Eugene shut his mouth at once.

Actually, her immortality is just a derivative skill.

It was true that he did not use his own skill while dealing with Mukryongdae and Leecheongi, as well as Limon.

“I know your wild nature, but now is not the time to play around. From now on, use your unique skills and fight properly.”

Bellos wasted no more time reprimanding Eugene.

I was simply giving orders.

Being cornered and not knowing what happened to Ryu Kang-cheol, the best way was to overcome the situation with Yu-jin’s unique skill.

That was why he had no choice but to harden after hearing Eugene’s answer.

“Nope?”

“…what did you say?”

“You said you didn’t want to use a unique skill.”

As if wondering if he had heard something wrong.

Bellos hardened his face and glared at her with the flesh in his eyes.

“Are you sure you want to betray the organization?”

“It is not a betrayal. I won’t just use my own skills.”

“Are you asking me to accept such absurd words?”

“huh.”

A very simple affirmation.

Hearing those words, Yujin calmly said to Bellos, who had a shocked look on his face.

“Although Comred is the commander of this mission, it is my freedom whether to use the skill or not.”

The ghosts of the Liberation Brigade were originally arbitrary.

Even if the duties are absolute, they are fundamentally separate from each other, so even if they are commanders, their authority is not that strong.

“If Comred can’t fight anymore, retreat first. I’ll take care of the back.”

“…”

From that point of view.

Eugene’s words were absurd, but he wasn’t wrong.

Since the target was already secured, it was not a bad choice to take out Velos first.

In fact, Bellos also originally planned to use Eugene as bait and run away.

But at this moment, Velos couldn’t accept it.

The humiliation of successive defeats.

The shame of disregarding orders.

And the wrath of a great being whose pride was wounded by mere humans.

It made Bellos think of another best method, different from the one Eugene suggested, with a crushing pain in his head.

“Yes, as you said. I cannot force you to fight.”

So it was.

The fact that he came closer behind Eugene, who had stepped forward after finishing his fighting posture.

“But, comrade mad. Have you forgotten why I am in command on this mission?”

That moment.

Eugene moved reflexively.

It wasn’t just because he remembered something.

Before she could make a decision with her head, her natural instincts forced her to swing the hammer backwards.

But it was a belated action.

when she tried to turn

Bellos’s hand was already touching her chest.

“If you don’t want to use Jung’s skill, feel free to do so.”

Fu-wook!

So, while cutting through the flesh harder than cast iron and breaking the bones, he grabbed Eugene’s heart with his hand.

Bellos ended his speech with a cold smile.

“In return, I will take your constellation.”
