Solo Swordmaster

#576. I’m a bit picky about it.

“Oops, isn’t this the death penalty? Are you sure you came to visit me?”

“…For now, that’s it.”

“Why do you have to stick with it?”

“Looking at it in person, it seems that the priest didn’t have to come to visit.”

“Isn’t it too heartless to say to the priest who came after a fierce battle?”

“Anyway, isn’t it true that the priest’s injuries are lighter than those of the Grand Priestess and Gandhi?”

“Well, that’s right.”

A cowboy drinking beer.

Looking at Billy, Vlad the Sword Demon shook his head.

Unlike Billy, who ended up just putting a bandage on, the injuries of the swordsmith and swordsman were by no means light.

Joan of Arc needed several months of recuperation because she fought a fierce battle in Cairo with her injuries remaining from an ambush by Limon.

Gandhi also suffered internal injuries from Billy’s orbital bombardment because he received Hasneti’s red dragon hellfire head-on, so he had to concentrate on treatment for the time being.

These are the ones with superhuman resilience.

If it wasn’t a sword master, but an ordinary absolute, it would have died or become a crippled person.

Especially in that the two of them are excellent at defense among sword masters.

But Billy ended up with a minor injury like this.

No matter how much it was thanks to the sword’s ability to cut through the streets, it could only be said to be ironic.

“Unexpected. I thought that three people, including the ambassador, would be enough to catch the master.”

“Oh, that man has gotten stronger before he knew it.”

“Has the master’s swordsman developed again in the meantime?”

“Even though the swordsman didn’t change, it was strangely more difficult than when I fought the swordsman nobleman.”

I didn’t know because I was just watching.

Or maybe he was hiding his power from himself and Vlad at the time.

Recalling the battle with Limon, which was strangely difficult to deal with, Billy continued.

“Still, if we had fought head-on, we would have won, but who would have known that the nobleman wouldn’t go out of his way to such an extent.”

“Isn’t that what you were determined to do in the first place?”

“Just because you were prepared doesn’t mean you are prepared.”

Disguised as the Red Dragon Princess and ambush Joan of Arc.

They use themselves as bait to lure them into stone bottles, eight gates, and gold rushes.

Borrowing from Limon, who thoroughly avoided a head-to-head confrontation until a one-on-one situation, borrowed his tongue.

“More than anything else, the Red Dragon Princess was formidable.”

“Was that enough?”

“You must have already heard that the Grand Master struggled, too.”

“But that’s because the ambassador is injured. If only her body was intact, the Red Dragon Princess would not have been a threat.”

“Okay, let’s come. The reason why it wasn’t perfect is because the Red Dragon Princess seemed to be the same.”

“…You mean that if the Red Dragon Princess had been perfect, even the Great Depository might have been dangerous?”

“At least it would have been difficult to subdue it as easily as this time.”

Just like Joan of Arc was injured.

The same goes for the Red Dragon Princess who only fought with the Yeom Dragon.

If it hadn’t been for the fact that most of the clan’s forces had been deployed to check the peacekeepers.

It is unknown whether Joan of Arc would have been able to subdue Hasneti without Limon’s intervention.

Looking at Billy talking nonchalantly.

Vlad frowned.

“The priest is overly wary of the Seven Dragons.”

“Do you think this is overrated?”

“Isn’t the reason why only three of us moved this time is because the priest insisted on being vigilant against the Seven Dragons?”

If all the Sword Masters were sent to Africa, Limon and the Seven Dragons might attack him in the back.

So you have to be defensive too.

Thanks to Billy’s assertive insistence, Vlad had to defend the World Federation this time.

It was because he was the only one who could lead the other sword masters to protect the World Federation and all seven guilds.

So, Vlad had no choice but to feel sorry for him.

If he

had sent at least one other Sword Master, he would have been able to capture Limon and destroy the Red Dragon clan.

However, upon hearing Vlad’s words, Billy rather grinned.

“So it was no use for the brother-in-law to stay here?”

“…No, the priest is definitely right.”

“Seeing that such words come out easily, it must have suffered quite a bit from the Seven Dragons.”

“I can’t say there was no hardship.”

Vlad shook his head.

While peacekeepers fight Limon and the Red Dragon Clan in Africa.

The World Federation and the Seven Dragons did not remain silent either.

or infiltrate spies.

or provocation by force.

or attack the business.

Even the princess herself provoking and provoking.

The World Federation also had no time to rest while responding to all the tricks of the Seven Dragons.

Suddenly, Vlad also had to be busy walking around.

Although not comparable to the sword master, the princesses of the Seven Dragons are also superhumans of the absolute class.

If they decided to target the 7 guilds, it would be necessary for the monarch or sword master to directly respond to them in order to stop it.

To be honest, it would have been difficult to respond if he was alone.

“Even considering that, you still think I’m overly wary of the Seven Dragons, right?”

“…”

“I understand. We are sword masters.”

Seeing the silent Vlad, Billy giggled.

The Sword Master is the Absolute.

Whether it’s the 7th guild.

Seven Dragons.

After all, it’s just a playhouse for them.

As a sword master, Vlad’s opinion that no matter what tricks the Seven Dragons do, it’s better to do everything in their power to catch Limon, wasn’t common sense as a sword master.

“But don’t forget the death penalty.”

“What do you mean?”

“The one that our master couldn’t subdue even after hundreds of years of hard work was the Seven Dragons.”

“…”

“If you look down on the Seven Dragons, you’ll get your nose hurt.”

The only being who killed a sword master without being a sword master.

seven dragons.

Don’t underestimate their descendants.

As the only person besides Limon who has ever invaded the headquarters of the Seven Dragons alone.

At the end of looking at Billy who is talking seriously.

Vlad nodded.

“Remember.”

“You should know.”

It was as if he had a serious expression on his face.

Watching Billy giggling and drinking beer again, Vlad quietly opened his mouth.

“Anyway, according to the priest’s words, things will get more complicated in the future.”

“It’s clear that things haven’t gotten much better.”

Until the first 9 Sword Masters were resurrected, they had an overwhelming power advantage.

But the swordsman dies.

After the swordsman escaped.

Even the swordsmith and the swordsman were injured.

It’s already been cut in half.

It was hard to move quickly until at least two of the injuries healed.

“I’ll have to look at it some more, but I might have to focus on catching the sister rather than the master right now.”

“Would you like to find the youngest sister?”

“It will be even more difficult if the master and the sister-in-law add their strength.”

“Hmm, that’s right, but…”

“Is there something that gets caught?”

“I don’t know about the brother-in-law because I’ve never met him before, but the youngest is unusual in many ways.”

After putting down the beer bottle.

Billy said scratching the back of his head.

“To be honest, among our siblings, I am the youngest to deal with the most.”

“Rather than the Grand Master or the Sword Spirit Sisters?”

“The ambassador is just a little crazy. My sister-in-law’s personality and environment in which she grew up are just a bit odd.”

“…then what about the youngest sister?”

“It’s hard to explain in words… Anyway, you’ll understand when we meet and talk.”

own lifetime.

The youngest sister whom I met at the Sword Tower.

Recalling his memories with Anastasia after the sword, Billy continued with a heavy sigh.

“How terrifying it can be to be a nice, innocent sister-in-law who does everything right.”

“Eh, what kind of trouble is this?”

Co-representative of the Kilimanjaro Autonomous Government and lieutenant of Maasai chieftain Umbaru.

At the same time, Shu, who was staying in Cairo as a member of a delegation to discuss an agreement with Egypt, sighed.

Because the discussion wasn’t working out properly.

Well, it was natural.

It is absurd to even try to make rules in Africa, where reckless wars have been going on for hundreds of years.

Even inside the federation right now, opinions were not being organized because they were arguing for and against and over content that was advantageous to them.

In this situation, there was no way the agreement could proceed properly.

Because of that, Shu, who is only an adjutant in name and actually proceeds with the agreement on behalf of Umbaru, was dying.

‘When I asked why they sent us on such an important matter, they knew this would happen.’

Anyway, he’s a cunning bastard.

Cursing Chief Lucuma, who skips only the things that will benefit him even though he is the co-representative.

Shu returned to the house.

to rest for a while.

But after coming home.

Instead of falling asleep on the bed, she couldn’t help but blink in a daze.

“Have you come?”

“…miss? What’s this?”

After inadvertently asking.

Shu was sorry.

And the person who greeted him.

In other words, he joined hands with the silver-haired woman and opened his mouth again.

“[Mistress, what is this?]”

“There is a reward.”

“[In return?]”

“They said that if a girl has been given the grace to learn, it is natural for her to repay.”

“[…So now this is the reward?]”

“It is.”

a few days ago.

After meeting by chance on the street.

Hearing from Anastasia, who was renting a place to stay because there was nowhere else to stay.

And Shoo couldn’t help but put on a bizarre expression as she looked at the things she had piled up in the room saying ‘reciprocate’.

If it was a common gift bag or fruit, I would have accepted it with a smile.

At least, if it was something like a bundle of money, I would have declined.

But…

“[It’s not uncommon for people to repay kindness with something like this…?]”

Pistol.

submachine gun.

ammo box.

rocket launcher and so on.

Is this your home?

Or where is the hideout of arms traffickers?

Anastasia tilted her head slightly as she looked at Shu, who was trembling at the sight of all kinds of weapons piled up in the room to the extent that they could not be distinguished.

“The girl’s teacher said that people in Africa like weapons.”

“[No, that’s not wrong.]”

“Is the amount insufficient?”

“[Because it’s rather excessive?]”

He shook his head excitedly for a while.

Shu made a suspicious expression.

“[By the way, where did all these weapons come from? The lady said she had no money.]”

“I found and robbed arms smugglers nearby.”

“[…What did you do?]”

“Don’t worry. All the smugglers have been tied up and left in front of the police station, so there will be no pursuit.”

“…”

Shu was silent.

Are you saying this to be safe?

How did you find the smuggler?

It’s because there are so many things I want to say that I’ve become speechless.

So, after talking for a while, she finally let out a sigh.

‘This lady is really ignorant of the world in a strange way.’

It’s like being a princess anywhere.

Or as if he had lived his entire life in an isolated remote area without meeting anyone.

Oddly enough, even though he doesn’t know common sense, he commits ignorant things so calmly and weakly.

I wondered what kind of environment he had to grow up to be able to grow like this.
