Solo Swordmaster

#254. It’s started.

* * *

[Hello?]

[Chief, can you hear me?]

[If you’re listening, please answer me!]

Grabbing the ring-shaped telepathic item on my slender ankle, I groaned for a while.

Yuna-kyung sighed.

And shrugged his wings.

[As expected, there is no answer.]

Li Qingyu, who had been silently watching her efforts from the sidelines, listened to Yunaqing’s words, put on a thoughtful expression for a moment, then opened her mouth.

“…It seems that the situation of the lesser evil has happened.”

[The situation of the lesser evil?]

“It seems that the swordsmith has been exposed.”

[yes? Then it’s a big deal!]

Yuna-kyung was taken aback.

How thorough the green dragon clan is in favor of silver, and what kind of relationship they have with Limon.

To Yuna-kyung, who had come to know her painfully over the past few days, it sounded like a war would break out.

“No, fortunately, the worst seems to have been averted. At least right now there won’t be a fight between the swordsmith and the green dragon clan.”

Li Qingyu made a strange expression.

If the two had collided, Quetzalcoatl’s headquarters couldn’t have been this quiet.

It was fortunate, but at the same time it was also worrisome.

“The problem is that the swordsman seems to have used a balance.”

[Oh no way. It’s an ability that you used to refrain from because it seemed like a big risk, but you meant to use it

on that scary older sister.]

Li Qingyu smiled bitterly.

I don’t know what the circumstances were to reveal my identity to Maia.

However, given the sudden loss of contact, the best guess was that Limon had been uncovered and used the coercive force of the Libra.

There is one way to make the green dragon clan, who never forget their grudge, cooperate with Limon.

It would have been only to give him a chance to repay that grudge.

“It’s good that I handed over some information in advance.”

[Information… Something like the location of the Forest Guild?]

“Yes. If the Forest Guild makes and distributes ambrosia, their information will be of great value to Maia.”

If he had used the balance, Limon and Maia would be fighting a fierce power struggle by now.

If it was his information, he would not be able to give him an overwhelming advantage in the competition, but he would be able to overcome the hurdle at least once.

Li Qingyu said calmly.

And Yuna-kyung was trembling.

[Princess sister, does the Black Dragon clan have the ability to foresee?]

“No, it can’t be.”

[But how did you know this would happen and gave us the information in advance?]

“I didn’t specifically predict it. I was just preparing for the worst.”

Wouldn’t it be Ainsha, the world’s greatest prophet?

Li Qingyu did not have the ability or talent to accurately foresee this situation and prepare only necessary countermeasures.

However, instead, he could assume various worst-case scenarios and prepare a trump card to use in each situation.

It was something anyone could do if they just thought about it.

[…That’s easy, but it sounds like you can prepare an ark and a spaceship in an underground bunker no matter when or what kind of end comes.

]

[Isn’t it overpaid?]

“Well, at least we, the Seven Dragons, have never felt the need for the word overpaid for things related to swordsmithing.”

[Ummm…]

With swordsmanship beyond imagination.

Either by superhuman intuition and experience.

It was said that no matter how hard they tried against Limon, who always unexpectedly caught them off guard, they were often slaughtered unilaterally.

Let’s break into a cold sweat while watching Li Qingyu speak outrageous things with a single smile on his face.

Yuna-kyung hurriedly opened her beak.

[By the way, you managed to get information like the home of the Forest Guild.]

Brazil is the mainland of the Green Dragon clan.

But it’s amazing how he found out something that even the green dragon clan didn’t know.

Looking at Yuna-kyung, whose intention was evidently half admiration and half-reversal, Li Qingyu chuckled.

“Yes, this is our field of specialization.”

Originally, even in the Seven Dragons, it was the Black Dragon clan that excelled in spying, scheming, and one other field.

Even though the clan fell, not all of its eyes and ears disappeared.

It was because of their intelligence that they were able to build and maintain the Leviathan Hotel all over the world in that hellish age of heroes.

“Of course, the investigation would have been more difficult if Zixuan hadn’t maintained a good intelligence network until now.”

Zixuan is the general manager of Leviathan in Sao Paulo and the general manager of the Brazilian spy network.

If she hadn’t identified the suspected gangsters of the Forest Guild in advance, she wouldn’t have been able to find out the location of the Forest Guild in one day.

Watching Li Qingyu speak humbly, Yu Naqing murmured.

[I’m just thinking about it, but my sister’s clan’s abilities are really fraudulent.]

“Is that so? Compared to other clans, I think our clan is on the average side.”

[…do you know what it means to be normal?]

A telepath that reads minds.

A sub-soul demonic style that controls the mind.

In fact, in espionage warfare, which of the absolute, fraudulent abilities is commonplace?

Li Qingyu sighed lightly at Yuna-kyung’s gaze, which made a staggering expression.

“Because there is nothing more we can do with our clan’s abilities.”

Prepared measures are here.

There is no way to help Limon any more in case of an emergency.

As she expected, Maia would have already banned Limon from contacting the Black Dragon clan.

The only thing left to do now is to trust Limon and wait.

It was the easiest but hardest thing.

[Don’t worry too much. There’s no way there’s anything more special than this.]

Li Qingyu smiled bitterly at Yuna-kyung’s answer, who did such a difficult job so easily.

“Something will happen.”

[Yes?]

When Limon was suddenly discovered and Barbara, who was watching her, suddenly disappeared, something must have happened to the Green Dragon clan.

In other words, it means that something big will start in the future.

There was no way that the green dragon clan, who were thorough in Eun-won’s experience of what had happened, would just pass by.

Looking at Li Qingyu, who asserted about the ‘extraordinary thing’ to happen in the future, Yuna-kyung was trembling.

[Ah, no matter how much, it seems like she was overly concerned…]

Yuna-kyung couldn’t finish her words.

Just in time, the pager that Li Qingyu had received from Zixuan suddenly started ringing.

[Princess, I have something to report to you urgently.]

That the green dragon clan has moved.

That Maia and Limon are also included.

that their destination is presumed to be some specific place, etc.

After hearing Zixuan’s hurried report that matched Li Qingyu’s prediction, Yu Naqing said with a puzzled face.

[…Princess sister, are you just moving to Princess White Dragon right now?]

Li Qingyu didn’t hesitate to reply to Yun Na-kyung’s half-joking, half-serious words.

He just let out a sigh as he recalled another worst situation he had expected since he handed over the location of the Forest Guild, but did not wish for it.

“It has begun.”

something that would happen someday.

But why did it happen at this time?

And what kind of variable will Limon’s involvement in this lead to?

Li Qingyu had no choice but to look out the window with deep and heavy sunken eyes as the situation became difficult even for him to predict.

* * *

Amazon.

The world’s largest jungle, covering more than half of all tropical rainforests.

Its territory was so vast that it was called the lungs of the earth, and if you look at the size of its territory, it was enough to contain five or six countries.

However, in reality, only a few areas of the Amazon rain forest are accessible to humans.

Of course, it is difficult for ordinary people to endure even a few days due to all kinds of poisonous insects, poisonous swamps, and beasts.

For some reason, Amazon was a place that even high-level players were reluctant to enter.

“full house!”

“what? Nonsense!”

“Whether it makes sense or not, give me the money quickly, you bastard!”

“Chuckling, that bastard made fun of that, and even his underwear looks like it’s going to be robbed.”

That’s why the guards stationed at the treehouse were playing poker leisurely, putting their guard on the back burner.

There was no way intruders would come to this remote jungle.

It was something to think about at that time whether to block it or run away.

It was an unthinkable way of thinking for a sentinel, but it was natural for them.

They are the original gang.

Because they were street criminals who only lived and died today, moving only for immediate pleasure and gain rather than logic and a sense of duty.

“huh? Didn’t you hear something?”

“Don’t talk back and get your card quickly.”

“No, I’m not talking back, I really feel like I heard something…”

While I was so engrossed in poker.

A gangster who was looking around suddenly hardened his face.

A guard post built close to the top of a tree so that you can look down in all directions.

Because of its location, it was possible to see the strange commotion that began on the other side of the jungle, which was originally calm.

Ssssss.

Trees sway.

slowly and gently.

It wasn’t just one tree.

At least dozens or hundreds, maybe thousands.

As if the forest itself had turned into the sea, the sight of the forest swaying like waves made Gang’s eyes widen.

“That me…!”

The watchmen who realized the incident only belatedly dropped the cards they were holding.

And hurriedly rang the emergency bell.

no i was trying to cry

Fu-wook!

Unless the ceiling suddenly collapsed and the falling intruder pierced the heart of the watchman who was about to ring the emergency bell.

“No green dragon clan!”

Dressed in revealing red clothing.

Two twin spears held in hand.

Definitely green hair.

The remaining guards, frightened by the characteristic appearance of the intruder, who could not be recognized without knowing it, reflexively raised their guns.

The intruder did not bother to restrain their actions.

He just looked at them with cold eyes as he pulled out the spear stuck in the corpse.

The moment when he tried to shoot according to fear and survival instinct while panicking at the incomprehensible action.

Udangtang!

The watchmen fell all at once.

It wasn’t that the intruder had been tampered with or attacked by someone else.

The moment when you want a strange scent to pass by your nose.

It was the result of a sudden feeling of dizziness and stiff body.

Crying!

Even their transformation did not end there.

I felt a burning pain in my stomach, and black dead blood began to pour out of my mouth.

“Dog!”

They realized it too late.

That the intruders didn’t stop them because there was no need to stop them.

The subtle poisonous scent that flowed from her skin, which was revealed intact because of her almost naked outfit, meant that it had been eating away at them long ago.

“Buy and save me.”

“Please give me the antidote…!”

Maybe it was because he felt the poison spreading through his body every moment and feeling his life dying out.

The watchmen writhe in agony, reaching out to the intruder, begging for their lives.

But the intruder did not raise an eyebrow.

I just watched them die with sad eyes.

so after a while.

In the end, Barbara shed bloody tears and flung herself lightly from the guard post where only the dead body remained.

It wasn’t something that happened only in one guard post.

The guard posts, which had been secretly placed throughout the vast Amazon rain forest, were being destroyed one after another without a single resistance.

By hundreds of intruders who run through the jungle with only the most dangerous parts covered.

The green dragon clan, the ruler of the South American continent.

Losers of this era Forest Guild.

The war between the two powers was announcing the beginning in the silence of the distant jungle.
