Solo Swordmaster

#566. Bye bye.

“That’s right…”

It seemed like the words didn’t come out.

It took a long time to scratch the back of the head.

Billy finally looked back with a sigh.

“What would you like, senior?”

“…What do junior Billy think?”

“Well, I don’t know what to do next, but I just want to fight, but…”

“Are you saying you have to step back?”

“The situation is the situation.”

“Are you serious?”

Listen to Billy’s answer.

Gandhi made a strange expression.

How hard it was to drive Limon this far.

I couldn’t help but regret missing this opportunity as much as I knew it painfully from the close match a few days ago and today.

Billy’s answer to that was simple.

“Are you sure you can catch that man if he decides to stand out?”

“…”

Gandhi was silent.

I don’t know if it was before.

If the sword masters help the allied forces attack Egypt, the World Federation will be involved.

In other words, now that the cumbersome burden to protect is gone, Limon can escape as much as he wants.

If he attacks him like this, the aftermath alone will ruin Cairo and the World Federation’s reputation will plummet to an irrecoverable level.

And what if you even miss Limon?

The Wanderers, who were waiting at the headquarters of the World Federation, would try to eat them.

“Besides, even if we wanted to fight, Mr. Pascal wouldn’t allow it.”

I didn’t even have to go to Wanderer.

It seems that he won’t let go unless he moves immediately.

It was their situation that they couldn’t fight as they wished if they couldn’t convince Pascal, who showed the back of his tattooed hand.

Because I understand that fact.

Joan of Arc smiled bitterly.

“What junior Billy said is right. Today is the time to step back.”

“…This will also be different.”

From Billie to Joan of Arc.

When the two sword masters spoke of the unfavorable situation, Gandhi had no choice but to agree.

like that.

They prepared to retreat.

“There, allied brothers. Do you think we should go? So, take care of the rest of the war.”

“yes? What do you mean!”

“I wanted to fight until the end, but it turned out to be an adult situation. Then Adios!”

“Wait a minute! If you guys come back now, what will we do…!”

Billy, along with Pascal, went to the allied forces and declared the withdrawal of the peacekeepers.

Gandhi shook off the remains of the clothes that had become ashes and changed into clothes borrowed from a spatial player brought by Pascal.

And…

“Unfortunately, I think we’ll have to postpone the decision, sir.”

It’s an opponent that I risked my life to fight before.

keep a kind smile

Looking at her who came to greet her politely, Limon asked quietly.

“Do you really feel sorry for me?”

“Of course.”

“…okay.”

As long as Limon is alive.

You will definitely get in the way yourself.

Arguing with him is an inevitable outcome.

At the end of looking at Joan of Arc, who speaks in a soft voice as always, but even more resolutely because of that.

He nodded.

“That’s it. Let’s make a decision that we couldn’t make today, next time.”

“Yes, next time I will show you a more proper side of me.”

“I guess so.”

Like a disciple who makes a mistake on an important stage and promises a better dance next time.

At her words, she promises the following.

He smiled bitterly.

In just a few months, Joan of Arc developed terrifyingly by absorbing the swordsmanship of other sword masters.

Even after realizing her own shortcomings through today’s fight, how much stronger she will appear next time.

Because I couldn’t have guessed.

“It would be better to be prepared instead. Next time you won’t have the same luck as today.”

“I’ll keep that in mind.”

But it wasn’t just me who became stronger.

knowing his warnings were true.

After accepting Limon’s words with a smile, Joan of Arc suddenly opened her mouth.

“Yes, sir. Could you pass it on to my brother?”

“…”

“My sister said she would wait.”

Whether you love Hasneti.

Whether you hated yourself for this war.

He will always regard Rimor as his family.

If you feel like leaving her at any time, if the time comes when you need her help, I will wait for you to contact me.

Looking at her asking me to tell her instead since it would be difficult to talk in person.

After a long silence.

Limon said quietly.

“Your brother will not hate you.”

“…”

“It’s just a pity.”

“…is that so.”

I treat you like family no matter what.

Even if you cherish and love.

different lengths from each other.

Because you can’t tolerate your opponent.

In the end, they have to fight until one of them dies.

Hearing the sad and bitter but undeniable reality.

Joan of Arc laughed.

“That’s… I’m glad you said that.”

“…”

“Teacher. Then, until we see you next time, please stay bye.”

distant past.

After completing the Sword Tower training.

Just like when you go back to your hometown.

With a deep and gentle smile.

At the end of looking at the back of Joan of Arc leaving with Gandhi who quietly lowered his head and Billy who waved his hand for a long time.

Limon quietly opened his mouth.

“Goodbye, sleep.”

what you loved

those who loved them.

All but one have been taken away.

Even though they are enemies to fight each other, they said that they are happy just to be loved by someone.

But contrary to what he said, with his first disciple, who had a very painful look.

The old master, who still cared for and loved her, eventually cut her and still had to cut her, said goodbye with such a lonely smile.

in the not too distant future.

when they meet each other again.

Promising the sword dance to start again…

…

…

…and.

“Okay then.”

I am amazed.

After lightly loosening the neck.

Limon straightened the sword he was holding at an angle.

And looking at the things left behind by the sword masters, he had a cold smile on his face.

“Would you like to finish it?”

* * *

“Has the advance team still not been contacted!”

“Yes, sorry, but we are still out of contact.”

“What are you doing? We arrived in Cairo a long time ago, so by now we should have wiped out the Egyptians and captured Hasneti!”

“Queen. no pharaoh Occupation is not that easy. You have to wait at least a few more days…”

“Sounds like a good thing! Three of those monsters have gone, how many days will it take to take Cairo?”

“That’s…”

The head of the allied forces.

Hear Cleopatra’s cry.

The general, who had been bedridden with injuries and was now barely able to move, had no choice but to blurt out his words.

What kind of monsters are the three sword masters.

I couldn’t bear to deny that point as I knew it painfully from what I had seen and heard during Limon’s lecture the other day.

‘Is it because of the African Union?’

I had some guesses.

As soon as the African Federation was established, urgent news that the peacekeepers were being slandered reached the allied forces.

That’s why Cleopatra was nervous.

For them, who joined forces with the peacekeepers and started a war, the African Union’s move is a lightning bolt from the dry sky.

Otherwise, even their own liberation war would be dismissed as a civil war.

There is one way to solve this situation.

It was only to occupy Egypt as soon as possible.

Due to the nature of Africa, where power is everything, if you show overwhelming power, the federation will also withdraw its statement and join them.

One problem.

‘…But what will happen if we fail to capture Egypt?’

The general swallowed dryly.

The reason they started this civil war in the first place was because they believed in the power of the World Federation, including the Peacekeepers.

In fact, the majesty of the three sword masters showed that their judgment was correct.

But now that the African Union has come to the slander.

The peacekeepers actively denied the slander and showed signs of hurrying to withdraw from the occupied territories.

What if they get out of hand?

And what if the three sword masters are missing?

Can they really win this war with their own strength? Against Egypt with that Hasneti?

‘Couldn’t be… it’s not.’

The General struggled to be optimistic.

It was the peacekeepers who instigated them, and they were the ones who pulled out only the armored units from the messed up units.

As long as he is human, he won’t have a conscience enough to say “I don’t know” and withdraw his hand.

Apparently, it’s just that the attack on Cairo took longer than expected, so we couldn’t get in touch.

but right after that.

He couldn’t help but harden.

Kwang Kwah Leung!

“Come on, General? What does this mean?”

“…”

“I’m asking! Come on, answer me!”

A roaring gunfire.

A screaming walkie-talkie.

The general convulsed with PTSD at the noise that reminded him of that nightmare day but was more urgent and brutal than that.

Likewise, the moment Cleopatra started screaming.

Chow!

“It’s the second one, so it’s easy to find.”

The upper part of the barracks they were in was neatly cut away.

The collapsed barracks.

Thanks to that, Cleopatra and the general, who were completely exposed, swallowed dry saliva when they saw the white-haired man standing in front of the barracks.

“What kind of safety are you holding your head up to! Can’t we kneel down to Jim, the pharaoh?”

“Hmm?”

Could it be because of the panic?

Or was it because he saw the bloodied figure and thought that the threat might work?

Looking at Cleopatra, who trembled in fear and shouted solemnly, Limon tilted his head.

“Pharaoh? you?”

“Yes!”

“Your hair color is different from the Pharaoh I know?”

“Don’t compare yourself to that fake! I am the true descendant of Ra and the savvy Egyptian royal family!”

“Oh yeah?”

as if he didn’t know that

After groaning in admiration.

Limon looked back.

“Yes, but what do you think, Pharaoh?”

“That sounds interesting.”

and that moment.

Cleopatra hardened.

It wasn’t just because of the muffled voice that answered his question.

Melt the sand your feet touched.

Burning the barracks where the collar was brushed.

Heating up the air just by exhaling.

The appearance of a naked beauty that could not be recognized without looking at it slowly appeared from behind Limon.

Above all, even though his body was covered with blood and wounds, he felt hot and intimidating, as if his eyes would burn just by making eye contact.

It took my breath away.

“There can be no two suns in the sky.”

“Pa-pa Pharaoh. I am that…”

“Do you want to be Cleopatra Pharaoh?”

“…!”

“Then there is only one way.”

slowly.

Hasneti stepped forward.

And he declared, looking at Cleopatra with bloody eyes.

“Prove your qualifications by force.”

Pharaoh is not just an Egyptian monarch, but the most powerful king in Africa.

There is only one seat.

Jung said that if she wanted to take the position of pharaoh, she would also regard Cleopatra as a challenger and fight with all her might.

At the end of shivering while watching Hasneti speak with a cold face unlike the heat radiating from the whole body.

Cleopatra finally knelt.

That is the end of the war.

Allied forces surrender.

The civil war in Egypt ends.

The end of the great chaos that shook Africa.

It was the moment when the mess between Limon, the World Federation of the Seven Dragons, and the Sword Master finally ended with a decision victory.
