Solo Swordmaster

#491. This dead girl!

* * *

Even after Richard’s ashes.

Limon was motionless for a moment.

Even if the twist created by the two sword masters fighting to the death in the dungeon cut off their connection to the outside world.

It wasn’t just because the aftermath of the death struggle remained all over the body, including one arm where dozens of joints were smashed, from fingers to shoulders.

A shattered crown held in the left hand, cut deep enough to expose the bones of the wrist.

Memories of the distant past that came to mind just by holding it weighed down Limon.

‘…It’s heavy.’

About this experience.

It wasn’t the first time for him.

But no matter how long you live and how many times you repeat it, there are things you never get used to.

This weight was one of them.

Just like when you cut the sword.

No, in a sense, the remorse that was deeper and heavier than that made it difficult for Limon to open his closed eyes.

But that was only for a moment.

cringe

Limon may not be swallowed up by memories.

I wasn’t even weighed down by remorse.

Just like how many times he rose up again even after cutting off his disciples.

Gritting his teeth, he just packed the heavy crown into his bosom.

At the same time, golden eyes dyed blue.

“You guys from the Liberation Brigade really wanted to die.”

Of course, I had no intention of leaving the Liberation Brigade alive in the first place.

They are all heinous criminals.

Even if he was left alive, he would only harm the world.

but this moment.

Before being the protector of mankind, he decided to exterminate the Liberation Brigade as an individual named Limon Aspelda.

The one and only friend of mine.

From the moment they revived the sword king Richard and used it like a puppet, they became the target of bloodshed.

And it was clear who had to pay the blood first.

The moment you enter the dungeon.

One of the vaguely felt signs.

The person who fled from here before he even appeared on the 100th floor of the dungeon must be the remnants of the Liberation Brigade who plotted this.

“It looks like they got away pretty quickly…”

Limon laughed coldly.

The distortion of space is resolved.

The aftermath of the struggle subsided.

What gradually comes back to life is the superhuman senses of a sword master who can even hear the sound of a needle dropping from ten miles away.

“You should know that you cannot run away from the sword master.”

It was difficult to pinpoint the exact location due to the aftermath of the collapse of the dungeon as well as the body not being normal yet.

However, I was able to confirm that the presence of that sign still remained in the dungeon.

That was enough.

find him right now

To get the price of blood.

So, the moment Limon tried to find the approximate location of the presence with more concentration.

[manager! Please help me here, chief!]

A single cry.

It broke his concentration.

Maybe it’s because the magic power is exhausted.

Immediately after hearing Yuna-gyeong’s flame, she returned from the form of a half-human, half-bird to the form of a little bluebird and flapped her wings.

Limon immediately went into action.

one step.

two steps.

three steps.

Chew!

Until he retrieved the fallen sword and rushed to swing it.

Limon cut down the group of monsters that approached him in three steps.

However, thanks to that, Na-gyeong Yun was not relieved even though she was able to overcome the dangerous hurdle against the monsters.

On the contrary, he just cried out nervously.

[The team leader’s rich sister is not breathing!]

The blonde beauty that Na-kyung Yun was protecting with all her might.

The moment I saw Charlotte.

Limon’s face hardened.

And I touched her wrist.

Fortunately, Charlotte didn’t stop breathing like Yuna-kyung was making a fuss.

It just felt like I wasn’t breathing at all because my paralysis was so weak.

‘…Dangerous.’

So Limon groaned.

How hard and how much did you fight?

injuries more severe than his own.

On top of that, the psionic energy seething from the depths of the tattered meridians reminded me of a bomb about to explode…

no, a building with broken pillars from a bomb that had already exploded.

Of course, it was an amazing achievement even for the Golden Dragon Princess to have endured this much alone against the Sword King, who was the best among sword masters in terms of strength and destructive power.

It was fortunate that he was still breathing.

The problem was that there was no guarantee how long this breath would last.

‘I didn’t expect to see the princess of the Seven Dragons indulging in the magic of fire in my lifetime.’

In the first place, psionics are the power of dragons.

It’s not suitable for humans, so a master who overdoes it will harm himself.

Don’t do that.

It was a psionic runaway phenomenon.

Of course, it’s a normal human thing.

For the princess of the Seven Dragons, who can handle psionics instinctively, going through the intoxication is tantamount to drowning a fish.

It was a problem because such absurd things were actually happening.

A body deteriorated by excessive fighting.

Yonghwa repeated twice a day.

It was the worst thing that happened because the aftereffects of the Gwangryong station perforation were added to it.

‘At this rate, I’ll either die or become a disabled person.’

The good thing is that she can be saved if she takes action right away as she is still in the early stages of infancy.

The unfortunate thing was that Charlotte’s condition was deteriorating by the minute, and even a minute and a second wasted could put her life in danger.

But…

[Team manager, is the rich sister okay? Yes?]

“Seven arcs?”

[…Yes?]

“I’m asking if the remnants of the Liberation Brigade got their hands on the Seven Arcs.”

[Ah yes. It was like Seven Arcs when I saw that he became very strong because he used something like a quill.]

“Yeah, that’s how it ended up.”

Limon closed his eyes at Yuna-gyeong’s answer to the unexpected question.

The dungeon is now in a state of collapse.

After saving Charlotte, the situation is not relaxed enough to pursue the remnants of the Liberation Brigade.

That’s why I had to choose.

Should I prioritize treating Charlotte?

Or should I catch the remnants of the Liberation Brigade first?

‘Does it have to be weighed like this again?’

The remnants of the Liberation Brigade now have the Seven Arks in their hands, so if they don’t retrieve it quickly, something might happen.

On the other hand, it is unclear how much worse Charlotte’s condition will be.

On the other hand, there was a possibility that it would be okay if treatment was delayed by a few minutes.

It would be an ideal result to catch the remnants of the Liberation Brigade and cure Charlotte within a few minutes.

However, Charlotte could die in just a few minutes.

only a few minutes.

But a few minutes.

After all, it was a gamble.

Charlotte’s life.

Seven Arks.

You can get your hands on both.

You can definitely take care of one thing.

Conversely, you may miss both.

A crossroads that will change many things with a momentary choice.

A decision that is difficult for ordinary people to make even given a few months, which could change not only themselves and Charlotte, but also the fate of the world.

But before 1 second had passed.

Limon’s troubles are over.

Because his choice was decided from the beginning.

* * *

“Huh-huh-huh-huh!”

Along the collapsing aisle.

Labyrinth was running away.

From the moment Limon entered the dungeon, he hadn’t even thought about fighting.

‘I never thought that reverse ghost would come all the way here…!’

It was because he had no confidence to beat Limon as he was in the worst physical condition right now.

However, even if the body was normal, Labyrinth would have behaved the same.

Limon was too dangerous to face head on.

Losing a barely finished bowl?

It didn’t matter.

The real problem was that getting cut by that demonic sword didn’t end with just losing the bowl.

The reason I had thoroughly blocked Limon from entering the dungeon for 32 years was because I was concerned about that possibility.

‘There is a chance that Wanderer’s toy will win… But right now, protecting Seven Arcs is the priority!’

If even Faust’s quill was taken away, it would be even more impossible to obtain the remaining Seven Arcs.

either for their own purposes.

Whether it’s to catch that reverse.

The fifth Seven Aksman must not be taken away.

Thanks to such a cause, he was able to confidently choose to run away, putting aside his pride as a great being.

deep inside the dungeon.

Even the place that was originally the boss room on the 100th floor.

‘Okay, if it’s here…!’

“Install 『The Mirror Door』!”

Even though his body was throbbing from running with all his might, Labyrinth used his skill against the wall.

However, the dungeon walls only had a faint glow.

did not show any significant change.

It was because the space was twisted due to the impact of the fierce battle between the two sword masters following the collapse of the entrance, making it impossible to create a normal passage.

So Labyrinth gritted her teeth, improved her skills on the fly, and shouted again.

“Installing the 『Superlative Mirror Door』!”

That moment.

A change has finally occurred.

The wall of the boss room cracked and a mirror protruded.

Looking at a completely different place reflected through the mirror, Labyrinth turned white.

『Mirror Door』 is a secret facility that allows you to move between dungeons beyond all time and space restrictions.

If you use this, you can not only escape from this place, but also leave the North American continent.

The reason he was chosen as the site manager for this operation was because he could use it to take out the Seven Arks at any time.

Even Limon wouldn’t be able to chase after him who had fled to a dungeon on another continent.

Then revenge is always possible.

With Faust’s quill in their hands, they could exert a different level of power than when they only had two Seven Arcs.

That’s why Labyrinth with a cruel smile crossed the Mirror Door.

no, i was trying to get over it.

Pajijik!!

“Keugh?!”

The moment I was about to enter.

If it hadn’t been for the surface of the mirror suddenly twisting and an unknown spark coming up and grabbing her hand.

Labyrinth was taken aback.

Why does 『Mirror Door』 cause this kind of error?

It was because he could not know even with his humble knowledge of the vessel and his far-flung experience as a Constellation.

but right after that.

Labyrinth widened her eyes.

A shimmering mirror.

It wasn’t just that a completely strange scene suddenly came to mind in a place that had been illuminating another dungeon a while ago.

It was because of the presence in the middle of the landscape.

“you…!”

beautiful like a dream

As mysterious as you can imagine.

Fantastic like a mirage.

Labyrinth gnashed his teeth at the opponent who gave off a strange atmosphere that seemed to be out of this world.

It was because she realized belatedly that it was her trick that caused the error in 『The Mirror Door』.

“You mortal bitch! Are you going to disturb us again like you did 32 years ago!”

she didn’t answer

I just lightly touched the wand.

Paperweight!

“Ah!”

That moment.

The spark that bounced from the Mirror Door became even stronger and gave Labyrinth a huge shock.

No matter how injured he was, Labyrinth, who completed Descent of the Constellation, had the power to be called an absolute.

The power of the spark was so strong that even he could not stand it.

Well, it was a natural thing.

Being an absolute class, the opponent is also the same.

In particular, in a different aspect, she was more than a sword master, even more than the seven dragons and incarnations.
