Solo Swordmaster

Episode #219. This is the most important question.

What comes to mind is a smile.

Like petals soaked in drops of blood.

She said quietly to Rose, who stiffened at the most terrifying yet even more beautiful and bewitching smile.

“And Rose, you still have a chance.”

“…what chance?”

“It’s an opportunity to kill me and bury all the secrets and then monopolize the art of swordsmanship without anyone knowing.”

“…!”

Rose swallowed her breath, probably because she heard the unexpected words.

However, Li Qingyu did not miss.

The minute shaking that floated in the blood that flowed along the momentarily constricted pupil and the blade.

That’s why she smiled more lightly and added a word.

“Or you can become an accomplice like Ainsha.”

“You mean an accomplice?”

“yes. They declared war by putting up 49% of Tiamat’s shares and depriving me of the fiancée’s position as a swordsman.”

Rose was stunned.

It was expected that Ainsha would see through this fact.

She had already performed with Limon before.

However, he never imagined that “that” White Dragon Princess would become an accomplice with Li Qingyu and even commit such a thing.

“This is why the White Dragon Clan can’t be careless. Because it goes beyond expectations and digs loopholes.”

Li Qingyu chuckled.

It was a foolish act worthy of the White Dragon clan, but at the same time, it was also the most clever choice.

It was because he had the opportunity to claim Limon one step ahead of the other princesses while passing the risk to his fiancé, Li Qingyu.

“Especially Ainsha is like that now.”

It wouldn’t have been calculated.

Like Limon, it must have been the result of the psionics of the White Dragon clan affecting his intuition and premonition.

It’s just that what was normally buried in foresight and rarely had a chance to manifest was expressed more prominently while ignoring the foresight and acting.

“But if we were to compete really fairly, you would have the edge among us, Rose.”

One round of laughter.

Li Qingyu whispered softly as he ran his finger along the blade.

“Swordsmith has been friendly to the Blue Dragon clan since before. I heard that you got along quite well when you were in London.”

Like a snake coiling around its prey.

Or like the caress of a lover.

Fingers caressing the blade with the utmost softness and slowness.

“If you, Rose, show your sincere kindness, the swordsman won’t be shaken.”

But what makes the sword shake more than that finger is a whisper that is barely audible.

“Perhaps he will seriously consider breaking off his engagement to me and taking you as his new fiancée.”

thirst comes

What I feel is thirst.

A more instinctive and hot desire that can never be satisfied with water makes you swallow dry saliva.

“Tell me, Rose.”

As if reading her mind after seeing the wriggling Mokwool, Li Qingyu asked with a deeper smile.

“Don’t you want to have a chance to steal swordsmanship from me in a fair way?”

The last sword master of mankind who proved that he still has the qualifications of an absolute ruler by defeating even a monarch.

At the same time, the only means and object that can fulfill the long-cherished wish of the Seven Dragons.

It is possible for you to monopolize him whose existence itself has a great influence on the hegemony of the world.

Like the devil’s whisper that grants wishes.

that voice is so sweet

be alluring

Rose, who was looking at her eyes as beautiful as obsidian, as if bewitched…

Chow!

Li Qingyu was cut down.

Then, after glaring at her scattered form as a black mist with frightening eyes, he looked back and spoke in a hard voice.

“Don’t be fooled.”

“You’re too lazy to do it. I just wanted to hear an honest answer.”

Since when has it been an illusion?

Li Qingyu, a black-haired girl who walked lightly out of the shadows, smiled and asked a question.

“So what’s your choice, Rose?”

It took a long time to stare at Li Qingyu with heavy eyes.

Rose eventually put the sword she was holding into the scabbard and turned around.

“…Thinking of the grace I received from the swordsman, I won’t bother revealing this fact.”

Even for the Seven Dragons.

Not even for Li Qingyu.

Looking at the face of Limon, who only saved the citizens of London, he said he would put aside anything about the dragon psionic.

And likewise, I’ll pretend I didn’t hear about the opportunity Li Qingyu said.

Rose, who said it clearly, only slightly turned her head and glared at her.

“But don’t think that Li Qingyu’s tightrope walking will work forever.”

Phaging.

That was it.

Rose disappeared beyond space as if she never existed there from the beginning.

Li Qingyu stared blankly at the empty seat before opening his mouth.

“…Rose, you’ve changed too.”

If she were the original Rose, no matter what she said, she would have chosen to inform the other princesses.

Because she was the Blue Dragon Princess.

Even so, if Rose decides to bury the truth, there is only one reason.

It must be because the desire someone planted in her heart made Rose, who used to be righteous and stubborn, more selfish and flexible.

That’s why Li Qingyu could be sure.

The fact that pretending not to hear anything is the same as her answer.

“Anyway, I’m glad she didn’t notice.”

Is it because I’ve heard so many shocking stories?

Li Qingyu chuckled at Rose’s behavior, which left without realizing the most important point.

If Rose had noticed the ‘single’ lie mixed in with her story, she might have really tried to make a life-and-death decision right here.

That’s why I deliberately provoked Rose to distract her.

In that respect, Li Qingyu had passed a very important hurdle.

“Hiding it slowly will be the limit.”

But Li Qingyu did not forget.

As Rose warned, this kind of tightrope will soon reach its limit.

Since information about Limon has already been leaked, even fragmentary, it will only be a matter of time before the remaining princesses realize the truth.

And then it will never pass as it is now.

Rose, who was so noble that she was able to suppress even her instincts, and Ainsha, who are accustomed to controlling her emotions as she is a foresight, are the only exceptions.

Unlike the two of them, the other princesses couldn’t and wouldn’t be able to control their own instincts.

Even Rose and Ainsha were equally threatening.

As much as she stopped relying on her foreknowledge, her intuition and premonition became even sharper.

Rosena has fallen so that she can stop imitating a noble princess and compromise with injustice.

either as an enemy or as an ally.

It was clear that it had become several times more demanding than before.

That’s why Li Qingyu couldn’t help but smile bitterly at the thought of the person who changed them.

“I really want sword masters to teach swordsmithing as well.”

Maybe it’s because he’s lived for a long time as the owner of the Sword Tower, enough to have raised 7 sword masters.

Or is it just because of his personality as a kkondae?

Li Qingyu shook his head lightly at Limon’s habitual behavior when he saw a dissatisfied student.

“It’s hard to have a single person who is so talented.”

One more time to let out a sigh.

Li Qingyu glanced at his finger, which had been cut by Rose’s sword.

And while appreciating the drops of his own blood that were still flowing out like art, he rubbed his fingers and muttered softly.

“The eighth dragon psionic…”

The Seven Dragons have been visiting for hundreds of years.

It is an essential means to achieve their long-cherished wish, and a goal that the princess of the Seven Dragons instinctively longs for.

Recalling that, Li Qingyu languidly continued.

“I would have been better off without it.”

* * *

Bang Kwa Kwang! Kwakwagwagwang!

As I took a step forward, my body was pushed backwards, and the chain protruding from the shadows bounced off the sword.

The feathers that the eagle-headed demon pours out become flames and cover the air, and the snakes and scorpions that the snake demon spews out from its gigantic mouth roll up from the ground like waves.

In addition, the six blades wielded by the three-headed and six-headed demon cut through walls and floors like paper, blocking their path.

The pincer attack of the five demons, each surpassing the supply player, was literally a death storm itself.

One problem.

Their opponent was, of course, Limon.

Papa baba babat!

As Limon swung his sword around like a top, sword light covered all directions like flying petals.

The feathers of flame bounced off in reverse the moment they touched his blade, and the snakes and scorpions covered in flames all of a sudden became roasted whole.

Limon’s counterattack did not end there.

It burrowed into the bosom of the three-headed and six-headed devil, who had hesitated because of the fluttering feathers of flame, and blew off one of its heads at once.

Is it because the name is the devil?

The demon, now a double-headed yukbi, did not die or be frightened, even though it had only two heads left, instead it raged wildly and brandished its sword.

But that attack only cut through the air.

The six blades missed each time without even cutting Limon’s collar.

Because Limon was so close, it was rather difficult for a relatively large demon to attack.

“Tsk tsk. Swordsmanship isn’t bad… Why do you wear six arms? That’s why the square is so big.”

Chow!

In the end, it took less than a minute for the three-headed and six-headed demon to lose both of its remaining heads and collapse.

Now there are four demons left.

Limon, who glanced at the location, raised the sword held by the three-headed and six-headed devil to the edge of the field and struck lightly with the sword.

my

blade faster than a bullet

?

The time it took for Limon to flick off the six blades was literally an instant.

And the blade that flew like a comb split the heads of the eagle demon and the snake demon. It was a moment faster than that.

Two are left.

Only the shadow demon that spread its chain to block the blade, and the puppet demon that reversed space and sent the blade flying sideways.

charrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

‘Hmm, these guys still look like demigods.’

A shadow demon who controls chains that cannot be cut.

and a puppet demon that changes the direction he moves with each grotesque movement of his fingers.

Limon narrowed his eyes as he saw the two demons displaying almost incarnated power.

Even though he fell into a demon, at this level, I roughly expected how powerful a godhead he would have been

.

But in the end, they are the remnants of a god who was defeated by the dragon.

And the sword master who had even slashed such a dragon took a light step.

One step, avoiding the chains.

A step past the magic power.

One step while slashing the puppet demon.

Maybe it was only after watching the puppet devil, whose body was broken at an angle, roll on the floor, that he realized that there was no chance of winning any more.

The last remaining shadow demon spread its chains like a net to block Limon and tried to escape.

But it was useless.

It was because Limon’s sword, which stretched out like lightning before the shadow demon retreated, pierced the shadow demon through the gaps in the chain that was as dense as a net.

“You can come out now.”

[…Are you done already?]

“Yes.”

[Sometimes I think that when I go with the team leader, I feel that a balance patch is needed in reality.]

The basket that Limon was holding in one hand throughout the fight.

Na-gyeong Yun, who poked her head out of it, hung her tongue as she looked at the remnants of the demon that had become a sword and soul.

Their names were gods in the past, and even now they were demons with more power than most large-supply players.

It was astounding to see it cut to pieces in just a few minutes.

When Limon put his sword into the scabbard, listening to Yuna-kyung’s grumbling in one ear.

jerk jerk.

From the other side of the aisle came the sound of quiet footsteps.

Also, unlike Yuna-gyeong, who was startled, wondering if a demon or monster had come out, Limon relaxed and waited for the opponent with arms folded.

From the moment I heard those footsteps, I knew who the opponent was.

heavenly attire.

White hair like snow.

Even the expressionless face like a doll.

A girl with a distinctive appearance that cannot be recognized even if you don’t know her, who calmly appeared from across the aisle holding a lamp in one hand.

Ainsha was not surprised to see Limon standing among the corpses of demons.

I just asked in a blunt voice as always.

“I want to know if you brought Ri Tata’s crembo.”
