Solo Swordmaster

#611. Please wait patiently.

Spear.

It can be made just by sharpening the tip of a long tree branch, including bamboo.

Because of its simplicity, it is the oldest weapon in history, having been used since before the Golden Age, along with clubs and hand axes.

civilization develops.

A bow or an ax mace, etc.

Even after the appearance of many weapons, spears have been the most popular for thousands of years.

It wasn’t just because it was cheap and easy to make.

It was so useful.

From battlefields where many enemies and allies are intertwined, to one-on-one battles and even hunting animals.

This is because there is rarely a weapon that is as effective as a spear in all respects.

that is long.

For that one reason alone, the spear had an advantage over all other melee weapons.

Even more so than the sword, the weapon of knights and warriors.

But that’s a thing of the past.

The Sword Emperor slashed the seven dragons.

After opening the Age of Heroes.

The evaluation of creativity has changed.

No matter how useful the spear was, it was just a story at the level of ordinary soldiers, knights, or masters.

true absolute.

In other words, the trend that one must train swords to become a sword master reversed the evaluation of spears.

It is a low-level weapon that cannot become an absolute no matter how much you train.

In particular, Limon built a tower of swords.

After discharging the black fire.

Such evaluations accelerated further, and eventually reached the point where spearmanship itself was abandoned.

In that sense, the difficulties that Vlad Chepes had to overcome were great.

After entering the sword tower.

I took a spear instead of a sword.

In fact, in his era, the majority of advanced spearmanship was lost and most of them were handed down only in books.

Instead, he had two good fortunes.

One is that his mentor was Limon Aspelder.

Limon, who has lived since the age of bronze, has seen and experienced numerous spearmanships, if not as much as swords.

Using that experience, he collected spearmanship books from all over the world and studied them while interacting with the few remaining masters of spearmanship.

And I gave the essence to Vlad.

As a result, Vlad was able to learn the best spearmanship with the mind of a sword master.

Of course, if that’s all.

He couldn’t have become a sword master.

If you could get a swordsman by learning excellent martial arts, everyone who entered the sword tower would have been able to become a sword master.

The second was that Vlad was different from the others.

In other words, he was born with an unprecedented talent in the stabbing technique.

His overwhelming talent was such that he suggested that Limon use a spear instead of a sword and created spearmanship that he did not have.

Based on that natural talent, he further developed the spearmanship he learned from Limon and finally mastered the swordsmanship.

That is Vlad the Sword Demon.

The first sword master who did not hold a sword.

He was an unprecedented genius who proved that what was important to a sword master was only swordsmanship and not weaponry.

“…so.”

The dark-eyed woman who was listening to Billy’s talk.

Wanderer asked sharply.

“What do you want to say?”

“I’m sure you can rest assured.”

“Am I relieved now…?”

In order to increase the reduced lifespan, two sword masters were specially dispatched.

It’s still unknown news.

I wonder what happened.

Or maybe the fact that Johanna asked her for cooperation wasn’t a ploy to trap the sword master and undermine her position.

It was Wanderer’s current situation that he was suffering from all sorts of doubts and anxiety.

The fact that the recent movement of the Seven Dragons was suspicious was also a factor that fueled her anxiety.

But since I’m alone with a carefree face.

As a Wanderer, he wanted to twist Billy’s neck at any moment.

But even with that bloody gaze, Billy was not intimidated.

I just grinned and asserted.

“So, as long as the sword demon is sent to death, nothing will go wrong, right?”

“How can you be sure…?”

“Because if things don’t go right, you can always pierce through the space and come back.”

“The Amazon doesn’t work with space movement…”

“That’s the case with space movement. It is an insult to treat the swordsman of the death penalty as a mere savage.”

Billy laughed.

Space movement was a feat that was only possible for the blue dragon clan in the past.

Even now, it was truly surprising that only a rare space-type player was able to implement it with a sword.

However, Vlad’s swordsmanship was different from mere space movement.

penetrating space.

Either destroy all barriers.

It’s just a simple aftermath.

It was because Vlad’s sword doctor cut something else.

That’s why, among all the Sword Master’s swordsmen, his swordsman was the scariest.

“In the first place, the brother-in-law won’t be able to find the millennial flower and run away.”

“…You mean that strong?”

“Well, it’s clear that the death penalty is stronger than me.”

Billy shrugged.

The compatibility between him, who cuts down the streets of the world, and Vlad, who even penetrates space, is the worst.

Even if it was a unilateral bombing or surprise attack from about the other side of the globe, it was an opponent with absolutely no chance of winning in a head-to-head confrontation.

Even excluding compatibility, there were few sword masters who could gain the upper hand against him.

more than anything else.

“Besides, this time you took the Sword Spirit’s sister-in-law.”

“Even if you say sword spirit, he’s weaker than you.”

“Eh? Who would say such a thing?”

“Isn’t that obvious…?”

“…If you’re thinking that because I killed the Sword Spirit sister, you’d better correct that misunderstanding quickly.”

Billy scratched the back of his head.

Apparently, Suri, who was running while alive, died at his hand.

So it’s not unreasonable for those who don’t know anything to misunderstand that she is weaker than him.

But he could tell.

That it’s just an illusion.

Because…

“I don’t know what other people think, but I think the Sword Spirit sister-in-law is the closest to the strongest sword master among us.”

The one who cuts the streets.

A sword that cuts the flow.

A swordsman who cuts contradictions.

The swordsman who went through the process.

The Sword King who crossed the border, etc.

There is not a single ordinary sword master’s sword that can even cut through the providence of the world.

But no swordsman was as powerful and mysterious as the swordsman of the running repair.

“Especially in the Amazon, even our master Yangban couldn’t say for sure that he could defeat the swordsman’s sister in a head-to-head match.”

“Then why haven’t you contacted me yet?”

“Well, wouldn’t it take time to find the millennial flower?”

“…”

“So please wait patiently.”

Maybe it’s because he has already gone all the way to Africa and failed.

Looking at Wanderer, who can’t erase his doubtful appearance even with his own boasts.

Billy continued with a meaningful face.

“Above all, the sword demon brother and sister-in-law have a trump card that other sword masters do not have.”

Step your left foot forward.

Support the back of your left foot with your right foot.

While firmly supporting the ground with both legs, he unleashes a spear held with both hands.

Papa baba bababat!

Stabbed thirteen times in an instant.

Swing your spear and cut your throat.

Scratch the ground with a spear and hang your ankle.

Pushes the swung sword as if sliding.

Swing the spear like a reed and draw a circle to form a battle at the same time.

From the long spear of the Greek phalanx to the short spear of the Vikings, the mounted spear of the English knights, the pike of Switzerland, the pole pistil of France, and the six chorus of the double-singing method.

long and short

heavy and light.

sharp and blunt.

Numerous spear skills, originally supposed to be spread out with all kinds of spears, freely spread out from the tip of a single spear.

It is truly the pinnacle of spearmanship.

It was a transcendent skill that was in no way inferior to that of a sword master.

Caang!

But unfortunately.

Those innumerable techniques are blocked.

It’s not fast, it’s not slow, it’s not flashy, it’s not subtle.

just plain

Calmly like flowing water.

But just when you need it.

It blocks the exact location and moves at the right time to subtly dig into dozens of herbivores, which are blocked with only one and a half meals, and even achieves a counterattack.

‘indeed.’

cooong!

After blocking the blade that was aiming for the heart with a spear.

Vlad, who had been pushed back and opened the distance, murmured in his heart as he thrust a spear at Limon, who charged again.

‘The situation is worse than expected.’

Even until the fight starts.

Vlad had a calculation.

As long as he and the two running eagles are together, he will be able to gain an advantage against Limon.

But at this very moment.

Rather, it was he who was put on the defensive.

And it was clear what the reason was.

‘It was expected that the sisters do not have the heart to fight, but…’

One is that the running repair is still tied to the green dragon princess and the poison dragon squad.

Even though the green dragon princess hasn’t even turned into a dragon yet.

The fact that she hadn’t been able to slash a poison dragon belt yet was proof that she was fighting roughly.

I knew this was going to happen, so I deliberately ordered to fight with all my might.

The running eagle subtly circumvented the spell by ‘fighting to protect the divine lord’ from ‘not using a sword’.

If that’s the only thing though.

It was pretty good.

Sabotage of running repairs is within the expected range.

As long as there are restrictions on the spell, it’s only a matter of time before she defeats the green dragon princess and the poison dragon squad.

If he held out until then, he could have turned the situation around by attacking Limon along with the running Suri.

Even so, the reason why Vlad hardened his face was because there was a variable that made his calculations definitively err.

‘I didn’t expect Master to be so strong in that time… I can see why Master Swordsman and Priest Billy dared to warn.’

Joan of Arc, who said that we should be careful of Limon’s yam dragon blade.

Billy, who said he seemed strangely stronger than when he fought the swordsman.

I thought it was engraved.

Recalling their warnings, which he didn’t really understand until he experienced it himself, Vlad stuck out his tongue.

It’s fortunate that Johanna gave me a buff.

What if he faced Limon on his own without the help of her powerful enough to be called the Holy Lord?

I didn’t even know I might have fallen.

The reason why he was only using pure spearmanship right now was because Limon was not giving him enough time to use his sword.

How much time can you actually take in this state?

Even as a sword master, he couldn’t dare to have confidence.

Compared to the last time he fought the Sword Master, Limon was much stronger now.

‘But…’

While recognizing that disadvantage.

Vlad thought.

‘It’s strange.’

something.

weird.

A subtle swordsmanship that even the sword master could not accurately grasp.

Even with a body that has been buffed by the divine lord, it is an overwhelming and phenomenal ability that makes the whole body numb every time the weapon crosses.

Given all that.

It was natural for him to be pushed back by Limon.

It can’t be taken for granted…

…to the point where it’s strange that he’s holding on, albeit narrowly, even though he’s on the defensive.

‘What’s your plan, Master?’

So Vlad was suspicious.

All of this is a trick.

The moment you turn to the offensive.

The possibility of Limon aiming for an opening.

But what if this isn’t a trap?

The aftermath of the fierce battles in Africa still lingers.

What if Limon isn’t at full strength yet, or even at full strength, it’s hard to get the upper hand?

…Wouldn’t it be possible to get rid of Limon and everything else that hinders him from achieving his long-cherished wish?

too few grounds.

Still in firm doubt.

While continuing to wield the spear, Vlad remembered one thing he had tucked away in his cloak.

It was received from Wanderer to prepare for an emergency.

Would it be better to use the number of trumps that can reverse this situation at once?

If so, to figure out when to write it.

However, he was so absorbed in such complex calculations that he did not realize it.

Limon calmly wields his sword.

Unlike his cold and calm appearance, the fact that his golden eyes are shining with a strange light for no reason.
