Solo Swordmaster

#213. Who’s up?

* * *

‘Why.’

When London is in chaos.

While trembling with anxiety and nervousness like everyone else, there was a woman who started to move alone.

A beauty who stands out in everything from a luxurious dress to her appearance.

But now, with that beautiful face distorted horribly, she ran through the darkness and cried out in her heart again and again.

‘Why why why why!’

It was just that simple.

After getting rid of the gloomy fog, the shadow monster rampages, and Kaiser uses the opportunity to seize power in the British Empire.

And with that credit, he settles down in the British Empire and is recommended for a specter position in the Liberation Brigade.

It was a great opportunity to achieve a lot with just one song, and there was no risk.

no it shouldn’t have been

‘Why are those monsters suddenly rampaging? What is Kaiser doing? What is this mess?’

Lieutenant of the Liberation Brigade.

Claire gritted her teeth.

Not a ghost, the information she knew was limited.

In the first place, she didn’t even know about Kaiser’s true purpose, the Seven Arcs.

However, when he saw that the shadow monster was trying to attack him indiscriminately, he knew that even if things went wrong, they were all wrong.

‘Why did that bastard named Lee come out again!’

That’s why Claire decided to escape London.

Because when that violinist started playing in the middle of London, he knew instinctively that this place was dangerous.

The problem was how to escape.

If the Blue Dragon Clan goes after them, wherever they run away, they will be caught up in an instant.

Fortunately, however, she had a trump card to cut off all pursuit and escape London.

oh oh oh!

“shut up!”

Perong!

In the middle of her busy schedule, Claire, who exploded the monster in her way with one shout, kept running forward.

Even after that, monsters occasionally appeared, but the result did not change.

She is also a duchy player.

I don’t know if it’s a high-rise over 80 floors.

It was because he was a strong man who could break through this kind of low-mid dungeon even with his eyes closed.

Claire, who almost flew through the dungeon and destroyed the boss at once, took a quick look inside the boss room.

Then he approached the fourth torch from the inside and twisted the torch shaft to the side.

That’s right.

A secret room revealed by one side of the wall being pushed out.

Claire immediately jumped into it and shouted urgently in front of the large triumphal arch in the middle of the room.

“Gates open!”

It was right after that.

That is why the space in the middle of the Arc de Triomphe shimmered and a gate of bluish light appeared.

Seeing this, Claire suddenly became bright and jumped into the door of light.

Fu-wook!

But before entering the door of light.

Claire hardened.

A dagger had pierced her chest before she could jump inside the door.

“…why?”

Because I couldn’t believe this reality.

While coughing up blood, Claire opened her mouth with questions rather than fear and shock.

[Something like an idiot for coming with a tail.]

“…!”

It seemed that he realized something.

Claire opened her eyes wide and pursed her lips, but eventually lost her focus and lowered her head.

The culprit, who pierced her chest with a dagger, flashed green eyes through the door of light and spread a dark wave of flames.

[Tell it to your master. He said he won this time.]

The empty space where nothing could be seen.

Looking beyond the shadows cast deep in the dungeon, the owner of the green eyes continued coldly.

[Rejoice to your heart’s content now.]

[But you’d better keep in mind.]

[There won’t be a mistake like this one again, and in the end, we’ll be the ones who receive the blessing of the stars.] With

that said, I’m done. The green eye light goes out and the door of light disappears cleanly.

After losing the support, Claire’s corpse collapses.

A shadow in the corner of the dungeon shimmered and Wei Ling, a cross-dressing woman who appeared together with the Shanghai royal family’s spy, looked at the corpse with a cold face before opening her mouth.

“You’ll soon find out that the Seven Dragons said that a lot too. The specter of the Liberation Brigade.”

* * *

Walpurgis Night.

The festival, which should have been fun, ended in chaos with monsters and ghosts rampaging.

Most of the citizens had already been evacuated before the riot broke out, so there were no casualties miraculously, but only people were safe.

The scars the chaos left in London were by no means small.

Collapsed buildings, broken roads, damaged cultural heritage or personal damage in the aftermath of battle.

Even if it’s just the financial damage, it’s hard to dare to put a price.

But what left a bigger impact than that was the psychological damage.

[Prince Karl Amadeus passed away.]

[The royal family announced that they were preparing a head of state for Charles, who fought hard to protect the British Empire until the end.] [

In the Magus Guild, according to the wishes of the Magic Lord…]

Magic Lord ‘s death.

The news shook London, Europe and the world.

It was the first time since the beginning of the Iron Age that an absolute monarch had died.

In particular, the shock of the magic players and the people of the British Empire, who had supported him as a hero, was severe.

The shock was so great that the disappearance of Prince Edward in the midst of the chaos was not even considered an issue.

It was for this reason that Limon opened his mouth languidly.

“You decided to bury them all after all?”

“The truth doesn’t necessarily make people happy.”

Rose put on a bitter expression.

The London crisis has already shocked the people of the British Empire.

In addition, if it is known that Prince Edward was the culprit of all this, and that Carol instigated the confusion, great chaos would arise.

“싸가지야 그렇다 치고 그 개새끼에 대한 건 잘도 묻어 버렸구나. Still, I thought it would be a bit more difficult to deal with because I have a royal family name.”

“You explained the situation to Duke Robert and received his cooperation.”

“Cooperation? you guys?”

Limon made an unexpected expression.

Rose gave him a light smile.

“My family has learned something, too.”

Rose calmly says that she knows that hiding everything and taking responsibility alone is not the best way.

Limon, who was watching her, let out a laugh.

“It’s good to get help in moderation, but it’s better to choose your opponent well. Because Duke Robert is a man of power.”

“It doesn’t matter.”

For the sake of power, even this important secret can be used politically because it is a creature called a person of power.

Rose said calmly to Limon, who gave her advice.

“If he wants to do anything out of line, then we just have to go and dispose of him.”

“Hmm, do you have any plans to be generous?”

“Duke Robert is not an underdog who needs my consideration.”

“Indeed, it is.”

‘If that bastard doesn’t want to be killed, then I won’t be reckless.’

Limon muttered to himself.

The Magus Guild was driven into a corner by not only causing this situation by destroying the London confrontation world, but also losing the absolute person named Carol.

On the other hand, the Countess of Sea Serpent, who had once again firmly established her position as the shield of the British Empire, gained a higher reputation than before.

This is how the pendulum of power tilted.

In the midst of this, there was no one in power who would want to offend the eyes of the Blue Dragon clan.

In fact, it was evident from all the gifts and donations sent to the Countess Sea Serpent immediately after Walpurgis Night.

Even if another monarch is born in the British Empire, he will not be able to dare to face the Blue Dragon clan for decades.

“You will be busy for a while.”

“Yes, for a while London will have to go through troubled times.”

Of course, that also meant that Countess Sea Serpent would be hectic in the future.

Taking power of the British Empire also meant taking on the responsibility of restoring the ruins of London.

“But it’s okay.”

Even so, Rose did not make a dark expression.

I just had a faint smile while watching London where construction was taking place and the people busily wandering between them.

“If our clan works together with the citizens, we will be able to solve this kind of hardship in no time.”

It’s not that it’s okay if it’s ‘self’, but if it’s ‘we’, we can do it.

Take a moment to look at the calmly speaking Rose.

Limon laughed.

“I’m glad you did.”

“What are you talking about?”

“Now, it seems like the Count won’t overdo it alone like before.”

“Ah…”

It was then that he seemed to understand the meaning.

Rose, who blushed slightly with embarrassment, cleared her throat and spoke in a calm manner.

“As much as there is a lot of work, you will be rushed, but at least you will get a good night’s sleep, so don’t worry.”

“Yes, yes.”

Looking at Limon giggling, I felt embarrassed for a moment.

Rose asked as if thinking about it.

“Are you sure you don’t need a reward?”

“Because I came to catch the ghosts of the Liberation Brigade in the first place.”

Limon shrugged.

In the first place, he came to London for two reasons. There were three things, including what Sir asked for.

However, just finishing all three of them neatly and being able to hire a great witch like Sir for a long time without pay was enough for Limon.

As proof, Limon tapped the box he was carrying on his back.

“I received such a generous gift, but I feel even more embarrassed when they give me an additional reward.”

“Is that so…”

Rose nodded.

And muttered with a complex expression that was difficult to express.

“Then this is parting.”

“yes.”

“…Can I ask you one last thing before you go?”

“What are you curious about?”

Limon asked calmly.

It seemed like he would answer any question you asked.

From the start, it was obvious that Rose would be asking questions related to her identity.

“You…”

So Rose had no choice but to make a more complex expression.

Just by looking at his calm demeanor, I could tell he had no idea what he was asking.

Hesitating for a long time.

Rose eventually swallowed the throaty question and continued with a light smile instead.

“If I want to hear you play again next time, may I invite you to the count’s house?”

I blinked my eyes at such an unexpected question.

Limon finally smiled wickedly and said playfully.

“Because I am busy. If you really want to hear it, the Count will have to come to me personally.”

“I’m sorry.”

Rose slowly stretched out her hand, hiding her 100% sincerity with a smile.

And the moment Limon reached out to shake his hand.

He lightly pulled his hand.

Maybe because it was so unexpected.

Taking advantage of Limon’s trembling moment, Rose brought his hand to her mouth and slightly bowed her head to kiss the back of her hand.

Then he smiled lightly at Limon, who had a dumbfounded face.

“If you ever need help, you can always come to us. We, the Blue Dragon clan, will be happy to welcome you.”

“…The Count’s house. Are you saying that because you don’t know who I am?”

“He is the hero who saved London and the best performer.”

Other identities were not considered for him and the Blue Dragon clan.

So don’t worry about it.

Limon looked at Rose, who was talking too calmly, with an absurd look, then smiled and grabbed her wrist, where he had just released his hand.

Then, pulling her back, he kissed the back of her hand this time.

Maybe it’s because I didn’t know that I would be punished like this.

Seeing her eyes wide open, her face hardened, and her face reddening in an instant, Limon smiled.

“Then take care of yourself, Count.”

“…yes you too.”

[manager! It’s a big deal! It’s a big deal!]

Limon frowned.

And after entering the train with Wei-Ling, I asked Yuna-Kyung, who had been making a fuss while sending Hwa-hwa.

‘What’s the sudden uproar?’

Limon was determined.

If it’s something like forgetting a souvenir, he’ll hit Yuna-kyung’s lapels three times.

Fortunately, however, Yuna-kyung was able to avoid such a disaster.

The news she just heard through Wei Ling was big enough to make up for this fuss.

[The White Dragon Princess has gone missing!!!]

“…Who is it?”
