Solo Swordmaster

Episode #314. Maybe.

“A solution…”

Sir put on a strange expression.

He had expected something special from the moment he brought him, saying he had something to show him.

However, the appearance of the ‘special thing’ that she actually saw in person was far beyond her expectations.

“You mean these sculptures could be the answer to the limitations of Dagda’s cauldron?”

From statues to stone statues and wooden statues.

Even glass or clay.

Seeing the numerous sculptures filling the training room with shapes made of various materials, Shir was dumbfounded.

Limon spoke to her in a nonchalant manner.

“perhaps.”

“What is that vague answer?”

“Because I called you because I wanted to check that too.”

“…Ah, I feel that sometimes, isn’t it too shameless?”

“Not to the extent of a granny.”

Squint your eyes and look at Limon for a moment.

In the end, as if he couldn’t stop it, Sir smiled and took a step forward.

Then, he took out his glasses and took a closer look at the sculptures in the training room.

“It’s definitely not an ordinary sculpture.”

as emperor of the Roman Empire.

As a great witch who has lived for thousands of years.

Even by Sir’s standard, who had seen and experienced numerous art pieces, the sculptures in the training room were all so wonderful that they naturally exclaimed.

However, her evaluation was not about the artistry or completeness of the sculpture.

It was about the mystery that resided within it.

It’s definitely not a magic tool.

It’s hard to even call it an item.

Nevertheless, all the sculptures in this place had a clear mystery.

I couldn’t tell the details just by looking at it roughly, but the number of pieces like this made Sir notice one thing.

“Did you break the seal on the carving knife?”

“Well, for now.”

Seeing the platinum-colored carving knife in the glass case that Limon had taken out of his bosom, Sir made an interesting expression.

Plato’s carving knife.

She, too, was well aware of the power of this god-class magic ball created by the Unspeaker Plato.

Because I had seen Michelangelo’s work that had passed the test of this carving knife in the past, as well as the working process.

That’s why Shir put on a strange smile.

“It is interesting. Originally, the work made with that carving knife was special, but it couldn’t capture such a vivid mystery.”

“That’s right, because this isn’t the power of a carving knife.”

“Are you saying that what gives mystery to the sculpture is the power as the Seven Arcs bestowed on the carving knife?”

Sir easily understood the meaning.

As if the effect of melting the power of the constellation had been created on the violin of deep darkness, which originally had only been cursed to be played by force.

It was not difficult to predict that Plato’s carving knife would also become Seven Arcs and gain new powers.

What was unexpected was Limon’s answer.

“Well, if the power of this carving knife was only that, I would have felt comfortable too.”

“What do you mean?”

“This means.”

Leaving Syrr tilting his head, Limon took a step forward.

And the moment he touched a single statue.

Sseuseuk.

Sir opened his eyes wide.

It was because the shadow of the statue wriggled and suddenly opened left and right, pouring out chisels and hammers.

But that was just the beginning.

A stone statue in the shape of a snake that disappeared beyond space and then popped out from the other side of the training ground.

A balance engraved with colorful patterns, with black and white weights appearing on an empty scale.

Wooden statues suddenly duplicated two or three identically and increased to dozens.

The sight of countless pieces unfolding in succession was enough to make even the legendary archwitch momentarily speechless.

It wasn’t only Syr who was bewildered.

“…Li Qingyu asks if all those pieces are magic tools or items.”

“No, neither.”

“Then I want to know what this sight is.”

“well. As you can see, I can only say that.”

The expressionless face is still there.

Looking at Ainsha, who was blatantly bewildered, Li Qingyu smiled bitterly.

It wasn’t anything I couldn’t understand.

Even Ainshara, who has seen many magic tools as a priest of the Holy League…

No, rather, it was natural for her to be taken aback by such an absurd sight.

“This… isn’t just a mystery.”

Maybe it’s because of the age?

The shock she received would have been worse than Ainsha’s.

On the contrary, Sir, who regained his composure more quickly, adjusted his glasses.

And after examining the power of the statues in detail, he murmured as if he was really interested.

“It’s definitely not magic, and it’s different from skills. In particular, that statue looks similar to the monsters I saw in London.”

did you notice something?

Among the many sculptures, take a moment to gaze at the statue with a shimmering shadow.

Syrr narrowed his eyes and looked back at Limon.

“Oh, the ability of that carving knife is…

.”

Limon nodded.

And he revealed the ability of the carving knife he realized while using it himself.

“It is the power itself that I absorbed after slashing the Constellation.”

“…!”

“Even it is possible to bestow something other than the power of a constellation.”

It was.

A fragment that Limon gave to Maia as a gift.

Plato’s carving knife was the secret to endowing a sculpture with dragon psionics that could not be contained in objects.

That alone was shocking enough to cause an earthquake in Ainsha’s pupils.

“Just in case, what was the cost of making these pieces?”

“Well, maybe about the cost of materials?”

“Is there anything else?”

“at all.”

“…what kind of bug items are there?”

“Because I was surprised too much to be surprised.”

“It’s not something that you can understand just because you’re surprised, doesn’t it?

”

Sir let out a sigh.

She would have understood and accepted it if it was just a mystery.

A tree struck by lightning.

A doll with love.

An abandoned house where ghost stories circulate.

Because it was a mystery that could dwell in all things for various reasons, and deceiving providence in exchange for that mystery was the basis of magic.

However, the sculpture made by Limon was like magic that had already been completed in itself.

That means one thing.

“Ah, if you say it right, the owner of the carving knife can mass-produce treasures like this without any cost.”

“What is that?”

“It is absurd. It is unrealistic.”

Ainsha now began to deny reality altogether.

Magic tools, of course.

Even if it was an item, it took a lot of material and effort to make it.

That’s why production players buy high-grade monster materials expensively.

However, it was a story that transcended common sense to be able to print something like this without any mysterious materials or dungeon by-products.

“Can I tell you something even bigger?”

“There is nothing more surprising than this.”

“Even if I haven’t passed the 3rd level of the carving knife test yet?”

“You mean it’s not yet perfect, so this is possible?”

“That’s how it is.”

“…now I understand why the children of the Liberation Brigade risk their lives to collect the Seven Arcs.”

Sir stuck out his tongue.

As she had lived since the Silver Age, she had not only encountered all sorts of gods, but had even seen and experienced many miracles of gods.

But even as Sir, he had never imagined that such an absurd thing would exist.

It was then.

That is why Ainsha had an expression of realization.

“lee. I want to know if the bounty on the liberation brigade was because of this.”

“okay.”

After nodding slowly.

Limon looked at the carving knife in his hand and continued.

“I realized something new after using this carving knife.”

[Did you realize?]

“The Liberation Brigade may be a more dangerous organization than you think.”

[…It sounds very strange when the team leader says that.]

Yuna-kyung muttered softly.

Similarly, Ainsha tilted her head, and Shir also couldn’t hide his surprise.

I don’t know if anyone else

It was too great an evaluation for Limon, who had protected the world for hundreds of years and had almost cut the ghosts of the Liberation Brigade in half.

However, Limon had a serious expression on his face.

“Think carefully.”

“Even the only one that is still incomplete, the Seven Arcs, is this much.”

“But the Liberation Brigade already has two Seven Arcs.”

“If the other Seven Arcs have power comparable to this carving knife, what do you think you can do with it?”

[That’s…]

Yuna-kyung blurted out her words.

Even if it’s a deep black violin, it’s just not obvious to the eye.

Such as allowing Limon to melt the power of the stars or handle dragon psionics that are normally unable to be used due to being crushed by the sword.

It had benefits beyond common sense.

Needless to say, Plato’s carving knife can change the whole game of the item market.

But what if the Seven Arcs secured by the Liberation Brigade had that much power?

how great things can be

It was kind of hard to fathom.

“Besides, the sculptor man said that the more you collect the Seven Arcs, the stronger they will become.”

“Right now, that old man named Daemon wasn’t even a monarch, but with the power of this carving knife, he exerted power beyond even tolerable incarnations.”

“If the monarch used that power… well.”

“Even the Green Dragon Princess might have had to struggle a lot.”

Hearing that, Sir made a strange expression.

“Do you mean that if the monarch gains the power of the Seven Arcs, he might become strong enough to rival the dragon princess?”

“Depending on the number of Seven Arcs acquired, it could be more than that.”

“…”

That moment.

A strange silence descended.

It was because the meaning of Limon’s words was so enormous. Each

of the seven princesses

was a superhuman who rivaled even the absolute ruler of this era, although there were differences according to the strength and weakness conditions of the strongest master of the Seven Dragons.

What if you are in a state of melting?

I dare not even compare.

Awakening the dragon’s true blood and transforming into a half-human, half-dragon, the princess was able to demonstrate power beyond even gods.

It was thanks to him that the Seven Dragons Society was able to survive and maintain its mighty power even though it was called the Demonic Cult in the Age of Heroes.

There were very few beings who could be said to be stronger than the emboldened princess.

The exception is their ancestors, the seven dragons.

The demon that devastated Europe.

Or…

“It’s Ki-woo.”

Ainsha said suddenly.

“Lee is overrated. There is no way the Liberation Brigade would have that much power.”

A comment that still sounds like a reasonable point because of the expressionless face and blunt voice.

But Yuna could feel it.

The meaning of the word is that it is closer to ‘shouldn’t’ rather than ‘it can’t be’.

The fact that the assumption that popped into my head was so shocking that it was a counterargument close to a self-defensive reaction to deny it.

However, that didn’t mean that Ainsha’s objection was too absurd.

In common sense, she is right.

The absurd thing was rather the side of Limon’s family.

That was why Ainsha stiffened at the sudden calm voice.

“No, I think the swordsman is right.”

“…I want to know if Li Qingyu is serious.”

“Because it is better to overestimate the enemy than to underestimate it.”

“It makes no sense.”

“Maybe.”

There is a degree to what if.

In that sense, Limon’s family is like worrying that the sea might dry up.

Li Qingyu readily nodded at Ainsha, who presented a common sense opinion.

Then he smiled and asked.

“But Ainsha, which one is your intuition saying is more correct?”

“…”

Ainsha was silent.

That alone was enough of an answer.

Uncharacteristically for her lack of emotion, the uneasy appearance itself showed what Ainsha was feeling.
