Solo Swordmaster

#253. Click, Degur.

“Ouch!”

After Maia ordered self-harm,

Limon took out a carving knife from his bosom and stabbed it in his own throat until Limon collapsed with his eyes wide open.

Everything happened literally in the blink of an eye.

and static.

Maia looked at Limon, who was strewn about the garden like a rotten old tree, with eyes that were gloomy and sunken like a swamp.

“Is this enough for a single weight?”

Are you satisfied?

Or do you regret it?

Maia muttered to herself in a low voice that was hard to understand.

and spoke coldly.

“How long are you going to stay like that?”

It was right after that.

Limon, who had fallen in the flower field, suddenly opened his eyes.

“Didn’t you want me to play a corpse?”

“If you wanted to imitate a corpse properly, you shouldn’t have made an effort to stab the knife three inches deeper.”

“Then it becomes a real corpse.”

“Isn’t it true that a faithful slave should show sincerity even in play?”

At Maia’s sharp point, Limon laughed and jumped up.

Then he glanced back at his wrist and shrugged.

“Why don’t you use a little more weight? If only two or three more were used, it would not have ended as a joke.”

“This was just a simple experiment.”

“You mean you checked to see if you could kill me?”

“exactly.”

Maia cut it off.

Whether this coercion of scales is real or not.

Do you really have the strength to order suicide?

She was neither naive nor righteous enough to believe Limon’s oath without confirming that.

Knowing that fact, Limon was not taken aback.

I just asked casually.

“Were you satisfied with the results of the experiment?”

“Do you think I’ll be satisfied with you, who even ordered self-harm, talking normally?”

“yes.”

“…”

Maia fell silent.

Limon laughed at her.

Then, pointing to his neck with a small scratch and a drop of blood on the tip of the carving knife he held in his hand, he said casually.

“Because you made me bleed with just one word.”

monarch level player.

The seven princesses of the Seven Dragons.

Ancient spirits or incarnations, etc.

At least, it was an amazing achievement to see even a single drop of blood on myself, who could not inflict a single wound unless it was a strong enemy of the absolute class.

Seeing Limon brazenly praising himself, Maia eventually became cynical.

“It certainly exceeds expectations.”

Maia readily admitted.

Excluding the seven dragons, only the same sword master in history was able to kill the sword master.

In that sense, hurting Limon with a single word, even if it was just a drop of blood, was an achievement that could not be ignored.

“Especially because I still have six more balance weights left.”

I saw Limon’s blood with only one weighing scale.

If that’s the case, if you command self-harm by using all 6 scale weights.

And if you put something like a spear in your hand instead of a carving knife, what kind of results would come out.

Limon narrowed his eyes as he saw Maia fiddling with her wrist as if she wanted to experiment right away.

“Are you going to write?”

“…Not yet.”

“That is unexpected. I thought Master would try to kill me right away.”

“Don’t be fooled.”

“A handful? I mean?”

The one who almost died was himself, but he seemed to be saying something.

Limon’s eyes widened.

Maia looked at her with hateful eyes, as if she were looking at a swindler in the world.

“Don’t pretend. Don’t you think I didn’t notice this scale risk?”

The current weight of the two is 6:4.

It was the result of ordering self-harm in a situation where it was originally 7:3, and one white scale weight went over to the black scale weight.

That’s why Maia was able to understand the fatal risk of this scale tattoo and Limon’s intention of quietly recommending orders.

“If I can’t kill you after consuming the remaining balance weights, then you won’t have 10 balance weights.”

Maia pointed to the black scale tattoo on his wrist.

Every time you use force, the balance weight goes over means that you give force to the opponent.

I don’t know if I can kill Limon in one shot.

If you fail, it’s like giving yourself a chance to kill yourself or force yourself to do more.

Conversely, if only one or two weights are used, the force to return is small.

It’s a perfect low risk, low return, high risk, high return.

“The number of weights on this scale is equally suspicious.”

“Are you suspicious?”

“Why is the number of scales fixed at 10?”

whether for the sake of fairness.

Either to quantify the force.

To make the numbers more objective, it would be better to have a hundred or thousand weights stacked on top of each other.

Even so, why is the number of scales limited?

Pointing out with a cold smile, Maia revealed her guess as to the reason.

“Isn’t that because if you collect all 10 scale weights, you can exert the force to command anything really?”

Just as there is a finite and infinite difference between 1 and 0, isn’t the true power of this balance revealed when all the balance weights are gathered?

Seeing Maia ask confidently, Limon gave a brief admiration.

“You have a wonderful reasoning.”

“Are you admitting that this is true?”

“Well, it’s my first time using this ability myself.”

“What I want to hear is not such vague words. If you are a slave, answer only one of the two, whether you are a slave or not.”

It seems that he will not tolerate passing over ambiguous words.

Limon shrugged his shoulders and replied to Maia’s questioning, staring at him with sharp eyes.

“I don’t know either.”

Click Degur.

“…”

And silence passed.

Limondo replied.

Maia who heard the answer too.

It was because each of them fell silent as they saw a black weight roll from the scale engraved on their wrist and turned into a white weight.

However, the reaction the two showed after that was extremely different.

“…Damn it.”

Limon frowned arrogantly as if he had made a mistake.

Maia, on the other hand, twitched her lips and smiled as if she had seen some unexpected luck.

“I do understand.”

Indeed, just having the scales back at 7:3 taught her a lot.

If the amount of weights accumulated to the extent of faithfully keeping promises, conversely, the structure of balance in which the amount of weights is stolen by the opponent in proportion to the amount of broken promises.

Nor did Limon fully grasp the power of the Libra tattoo.

One thing is more important than anything else.

“I think I need to collect 10 balance weights to kill you.”

Isn’t the fact that Limon made the mistake of lying to his master ‘not like a slave’ is proof that the 10 scale weights have a great meaning?

Seeing Maia ask with a sneer, Limon sighed.

“I made one mistake and lost a lot.”

“Take it easy. Thanks to that, I have no intention of ordering you to harm yourself right away.”

“…that’s very reassuring.”

If I ordered self-harm now, it would end with a little blood loss.

It’s a while to get discouraged by Maia’s consideration, who kindly said that she would collect 10 scale weights and put an end to them.

Limon asked suddenly.

“By the way, master, where did you get that weight?”

before ordering yourself to harm yourself.

Why did the backbone, originally only 5, increase to 7?

Looking at Limon, who seemed really curious, Maia laughed and asked back.

“Why don’t you know better?”

“I know you healed the sculptor man, but I don’t know how he managed to get the treatment done right away.”

Limon scratched his cheek and asked.

Maia’s answer was simple.

“I just spent some money and some medicine.”

“Hmm, you seem to have used some pretty precious medicine.”

“It’s not worth mentioning. At most, they gave me an elixir made by putting golden apples in Amrita, the water of life.”

Blinking his eyes, wondering if he had heard something wrong.

Limon asked to confirm.

“Isn’t that the recipe for Golden Roxinseondan?”

“To know what kind of medicine it is just by hearing the ingredients is truly a renowned swordsman in the world.”

“Is it okay if I give it to you? As far as I know, it is not a medicine that can be given to outsiders.”

Limon said shyly.

The gold furnace fresh ship he knew was one of the best elixirs of the green dragon clan, which took decades to manufacture.

True to its name, even ordinary people can rejuvenate for 10 years.

If a soldier of the Seven Dragons took it, psionics would only develop to a limit, and if you were a master class master, you could live a long life of more than 200 years.

But Maia did not raise an eyebrow.

“If you can get a chance to kill you with a drug that costs less than 50 billion real, then there is no reason not to be okay because it is cheap.”

“…that’s an honor.”

What is the exchange rate of the Brazilian Real in Korean Won?

Limon, who had been calculating roughly, gave up on thinking neatly at the point where the trillion units were exceeded.

It was absurd for the princess of the Seven Dragons to worry about money.

“That sculptor nobleman’s lifespan must have increased by 20 years now.”

Maia held back a cold sneer when Limon laughed at the thought of Hermann, who had suddenly gained a fortune.

“Do you think it will end in just 20 years?”

“What else are you talking about?”

“It means that you think that the only elixir I can use is one pill of the Gold Rosin Line.”

“I don’t think it’s unconditionally good for the body just because you’re giving precious medicine unconditionally, right?”

Limon asked shyly.

No matter how good a drug is, if you overdo it, it’s no different from poison.

In particular, taking several elixirs at the level of the Gold Road Goddess in a short period of time was rather crazy because I wanted to die.

“Who do you think I am?”

…if only Maia wasn’t the one prescribing the drug.

No matter how powerful the elixir is, he can absorb as much as he wants, and if he can kill him, it’s not a waste of hundreds of elixirs.

Watching her speak with a sneer, Limon clicked his tongue inwardly.

‘This is why the green dragon clan.’

I never thought I would actively analyze and use the power of scales like this.

Although he did not underestimate her, Limon had to admit that he belittled her obsession with revenge.

I wasn’t particularly worried about that.

No matter how much elixir you use like water, you won’t be able to cure Herman overnight.

In the meantime, if we found the headquarters of the Forest Guild, we could prevent all of the weights from being taken away.

Of course, that wasn’t going to end overnight either, but fortunately Limon had a strong supporter named Li Ching-yu… “I’ll tell you in advance, I

won’t allow any contact with Li Qing-yu and the Black Dragon clan from now on.”

“…why?”

“Because this is the business of the Green Dragon Clan.”

Revenge is theirs alone.

Unlike mobilizing slaves, which are possessions, it is shameful to borrow the power of other clans for revenge.

He said that ignoring that fact and contacting other clans to receive or leak information would be regarded as betrayal.

Maia, who said it clearly, smiled coldly and added a word.

“Don’t worry. Even if you can’t find the base of the Forest Guild, I won’t punish you for your incompetence and laziness.”

Limon was terribly shaken.

Violating the master’s order is ‘something a slave must not do’, so if you contact the black dragon clan, you will lose the weight of the balance again.

Likewise, if they fail to follow the master’s instructions, they are treated as ‘incompetent and lazy slaves’ and lose their weight.

In other words, it means that either side loses the balance weight.

“It looks like you really want to kill me.”

“My clan’s grudge against you cannot be light enough to be explained with a mere word of grief.”

So, I promise to pay the grudge.

Maia stares at herself with gloomy yet sharp eyes.

Limon looked at her and thought.

‘I’m sure I’m really going to die like this?’

After all, I have half a belated regret that it might have been a bit reckless to gamble with my life.

And the other half is that insurance is important.

“Master, if I already know the location of the Forest Guild, can I avoid being treated as an incompetent slave?”

“What kind of nonsense is that…”

Degurudy clicked.

“….”

Seeing Maia hardened after seeing the balance with a scale of 5:5, Limon recalled a memory.

When we met yesterday and heard about ambrosia.

The person who gave me the location of the Forest Guild as a bonus with a single smile and said, ‘I’ll let you know in advance, just in case.’

A princess who is more clever than the green dragon family.

That’s why when he was an ally, he murmured, thinking of the sly bride-to-be who was so trustworthy.

After all, the black dragon clan is said to be the black dragon clan.
