Solo Swordmaster

#259. Come on.

“This bitch…!”

Is it because the words offended me?

The monster lord, Gula, twisted his ugly face even more and glared at Maia.

during the war several years ago.

It was a humiliation that Maia, who had invaded alone, had to run away in a hurry because his base was razed to the ground.

But that’s for a while.

He soon smiled an ugly smile.

“Yes, talk to your heart’s content while you can. I’m going to make sure you don’t say such arrogant things again.”

“Do you think that is possible?”

Maia held back a sneer.

A sneer in which Gula clearly asserted that he would not dare to be his opponent.

“It is possible. It’s possible.”

But even though he felt the burning hatred in his gaze, Gula never lost his smile.

No, on the contrary, he smiled even more earnestly.

“Because I prepared this for that.”

What Gula brought out along with the meaningless words was a single whistle.

The moment he held that strange whistle in his mouth, like a piece of bone or like a snail’s shell, and blew it hard.

Beep!

Whoops!

“Kheuheouk!”

“Kheung khuh heung!”

Maia narrowed her eyes.

This is because the bodies of the guild members who had been poisoned and collapsed all over the fortress swelled explosively and began to let out terrible screams.

“…Is this the preparation you said?”

“Hehehe, yes.”

Those who had the appearance of normal humans until a while ago.

But now, seeing all of his subordinates transformed into hideous giants, Gula laughed sinisterly.

When I fought Maia in the past.

What annoyed Gula the most was that his subordinates were of no help at all.

It was because even those who were usually proud of being dukes or large suppliers were too afraid to take care of themselves in the space where her venom spread.

If there was, I would have used it as a human shield.

Instead of sacrificing their lives for the sky-like Gilma, these bastards took the lead in running away.

Because of that, Gula had no choice but to fight Maia one-on-one in his base and escape at the end.

Even if he used his subordinates as bait, he acted as bait himself.

It was a turning point for him.

“There’s no point in catching you bitch, because your nerdy underlings are of no use. So I tried to make it usable.”

“Useful… How about that ugly thing?”

“Because I’m a person who values performance more than appearance.”

That’s why Gula fed his guild members a lot of ambrosia.

At least the subordinates who became giants by mutating didn’t run away without fighting Maia.

One thing is more important than anything else.

“Anyway, it’s a huge upgrade since it made the cripples who couldn’t even wear a side at least be able to fight four years old.”

The members of the Forest Guild who had been poisoned with poison and were dying without even breathing.

After transforming into a giant, she did not budge even from her miasma.

It was thanks to the physical mutation caused by ambrosia that gave them strong resistance to poison.

It’s not just tolerance.

Just as the test subjects at Quetzalcoatl’s headquarters immediately gained high-level player-level powers after mutating.

From the beginning, most of them were mid-level or high-level players, and they became giants and gained superior physical abilities than before.

To the extent that each of them is now comparable to a level 80 or higher player.

“Before, I had to suffer alone because of your dirty tricks, but now I have colleagues.”

Hundreds of giants comparable to the great masters of the Seven Dragons.

In addition, there are eight other bloody giants that are comparable to the ranks of the Seven Dragons’ class masters or large-supply players, who have a uniquely larger size than other giants.

There are only very minor flaws, such as losing reason, not being able to use skills, and not being able to last a few months.

In terms of fighting power, Gula smiled an ugly smile while leading ‘colleagues’ who surpassed even the elite guild members of the Forest Guild when they were still alive.

“How long can you last alone for four years now that the poison has stopped working?”

Gula felt the ecstasy.

In the past, he backed out not only because he was careless and seriously injured by Maia, but also because he felt outnumbered.

Even if it was Maia, it was too much to deal with even the green dragon clan without subordinates.

But now, on the contrary, I can threaten her with numbers.

What kind of insolence Maia will show when this position is reversed.

For Gula, it was as exciting as a boy before his first night.

But next moment.

He had no choice but to twist his face again.

“Did you talk about the will?”

The long-term poison is blocked.

Being surrounded by countless giants.

I’m facing a monster lord.

Rather than trying to run away in fear or feeling anxious, Maia only has a sneer as if she is laughing.

Her princess-like appearance, thanks to her unique sickly beauty, rather enhances her loftiness, which does not give in to any coercion.

“…Let’s see how long you can act so proud!”

Maia is in stark contrast to herself who abandoned everything and ran away.

The feeling of humiliation deepened at that sight.

The hatred also swells.

Gula, who was glaring at Maia with eyes that could tear people to pieces with just her gaze, exclaimed ferociously.

“Kill!”

“Kuhhhhhh!!”

As if responding to Gula’s shout.

The giants roared loudly and rushed at Maia all at once.

However, Maia did not flinch or run away even when she saw the giants’ charge that seemed to push away even a mountain.

I just stood there and looked at the giants with gloomy eyes.

Just before the waves of giants weighing hundreds of tons covered her delicate body.

A gust of wind rose.

* * *

[Walking biochemical weapons… She was really scary.]

Yuna-kyung put on a tired expression.

The power to poison everything within a radius of hundreds of meters with just the scent.

It was an ability that even the princess of the Seven Dragons and the seventy-two kinds of people who had become accustomed to, could not have imagined.

Li Qingyu smiled and nodded at her words.

“Yes, that’s why even among our princesses, Maia is as much a target of avoidance as I and Princess Silver Dragon.”

[…That’s amazing.]

“Her constitution is unique in many ways.”

‘No, it means that the princess sister and the Russian sister who are compared to that scary older sister are amazing.’

What can I do to become an object of avoidance in a fight for priority with Maia, who is said to die just by touching it?

Yuna-kyung just put the question that was springing up into her beak.

I had no confidence to keep my composure when this girl told me the reason with a single smile on her face.

So, she hurriedly changed the subject.

[Anyway, even that scary older sister is really daring.]

“You mean daring?”

Li Qingyu tilted his head as if he had heard something absurd.

Yuna-kyung spoke to her seriously.

[No matter how strong that sister’s poison is, on the contrary, it means that if you properly prepare a countermeasure against the poison, you can neutralize it, right?]

I don’t know if it was in the distant past.

In this age of iron, items that increase poison resistance or detoxification skills were not that rare.

Of course, it would be difficult to block Maia’s poison with any item or skill.

But the teenage guild is the loser of this era.

There was always a chance of neutralizing Maia’s poison if she generously used rare items and high-level players.

Even so, to attack the forest guild alone.

Looking at Yu Na-kyung, who said that Maia didn’t know that she would be so reckless, Li Qingyu put on a strange expression.

“…well. Wouldn’t that be a bit difficult?”

[Are you saying it would be that difficult to stop the poison?]

“That is that, but it means that it would be difficult to neutralize Maia with just that level of countermeasures.”

[Yes?]

As if he didn’t understand the meaning.

Yuna-kyung is confused.

Li Qingyu asked her in a calm voice.

“Do you know what kind of psionics the green dragon clan uses?”

[It’s biological manipulation, right? The power to heal patients or make medicine with psionics.]

“That’s right. That’s why the green dragon clan was able to achieve unmatched achievements in the medical and pharmaceutical industries.”

Li Qingyu nodded.

And I added a light word.

“But that’s just one of the ways to use it, and the true value of biological manipulation lies elsewhere.”

[…Jingaranyo?]

Yuna-kyung tilted her head.

Because I couldn’t guess what more value there is in healing ability.

Li Qingyu spoke to her in turn.

“Healing wounds means that the body can be interfered with at the cellular level.”

“Making poison and medicine with psionics means that if it affects the living body, it can handle inorganic substances, not organic substances.”

“Above all, psionics are more effective when you use them yourself rather than using them on others.”

“Do you know what this means?”

[Uh well?]

Scratching my head with my wings for a while.

Yu Na-gyeong rolled a small bird head and tried to organize the story of Li Qing-yu.

manipulation of cells.

Effect on minerals.

Efficiency according to the target, etc.

No matter how much she thought about it, Yuna-kyung, who had been thinking about the clues that couldn’t connect, opened her eyes suddenly.

What are the representative minerals that make up the human body?

When I thought about it, it was because there was a series of things that came to my mind.

[No, wait a minute. That means no way…!]

A cell is a muscle.

The mineral is calcium.

And biomanipulation, not healing.

Li Qingyu nodded as she looked at Yuna-kyung, who opened her beak wide at the conclusion drawn from adding all of that.

“The psionics of biomanipulation mean that it is possible to strengthen one’s own body beyond simple treatment.”

In a way, it was natural.

From the seventy-two kinds, it is a Jeolhak that gives trainees superhuman physical abilities.

It means strengthening the body through psionics, and the power that was the basis of that had to be biological manipulation.

“In the first place, her power to deal with poison is close to her constitution, not her true spirit.”

One important thing.

Of the seventy-two kinds, the more powerful they are, the more they match their psionics.

conclusions thus drawn.

If only in terms of wide-area destructive power, the Red Dragon Clan’s psionics are more powerful, but why is the Green Dragon Clan more threatening in one-on-one battles?

Li Qingyu explained the reason.

“In terms of pure physical manipulation, Maia is the best master of the Seven Dragons.”

In a one-on-one fight, the most important thing is defense rather than attack power.

Watching Li Qingyu speak with a smile on her face as always, Yuna-kyung had no choice but to open her beak.

* * *

Kwaaaaaang!!!

“…!”

Blood and flesh burst.

A strong wind blows.

After a while, a roar rang out.

single volume.

Of course, he stopped the giants from charging by causing a storm with just one punch.

The one who smashed the bloody giant that rushed at the front and made it fly to the other side of the fortress with its corpse crushing a dozen giants in the back.

With only one layer of outerwear left, Maia took a pose that made it easier to move.

Sseuseuk.

Step your feet at an angle.

Open one hand and stretch it forward.

Clench one fist and pull.

Lower your posture and keep your center of gravity.

Keep your back straight and your eyes straight.

Like that, the formal riding ceremony was completed according to the beginning of the wind storm.

Maya said.

“Come on.”

Perhaps it was because of the aftermath of the storm created by the swinging of the still unsinkable one.

Or is it because I was overwhelmed by the sight beyond my imagination?

Gloomy green eyes aimed at the giants who rushed at them vigorously and became hardened like stones.

With a cold sneer, like a serpent watching over a herd of rabbits.

She raises her psionics according to the Geumgangbulgoryu (金剛不壞流) technique that only Princess Green Dragon, who has mastered the psionics of biological manipulation, can learn.

The princess with the strongest body in the Seven Dragons declared.

“If the poison doesn’t work, it’s enough to beat me to death.”
