Solo Swordmaster

#767 It was the same situation.

* * *

“Hmm.”

naughty cowboy.

Billy narrowed his eyes.

Then, after scratching the back of his head, he suddenly opened his mouth.

“So you’re saying it’s already too late?”

“That would be the case if there were only two spirits left in the world.”

“Don’t say scary things.”

Billy clicked his tongue.

It’s like a miracle that the spirits that were extinct 500 years ago during the spirit crisis are still alive.

Not to mention, the fact that there was another elemental beast like that was even harder to believe than the sky collapsing.

“I mean, Master is really great too. It’s not enough to hold hands with the Seven Dragons, so it’s not enough to raise a spirit beast.”

…Of course, it was more absurd that Limon, who had made the spirit beasts extinct 500 years ago, now use them.

“It is a famous thing that a swordsman does not choose any means to achieve his goal.”

“Kyahaha, that’s why I have more respect.”

what’s so funny

A moment to giggle and laugh.

Billy asked casually, spinning a knife with one hand.

“So what are you going to do now? It would be difficult to end well if our teacher Yangban had already entered the fairy kingdom.”

“I’m going to write a plan B.”

“…was that serious?”

“There’s no reason to prepare a plan you won’t use.”

“The Fairy Kingdom wouldn’t be such an easy place.”

“It doesn’t matter. All preparations are already done.”

“Hmm. Well, if you say so.”

Billy narrowed his eyes.

The Commander who resurrected the dead.

The divine lord who healed all kinds of injuries.

The reincarnated monarch who hurt himself.

Other than that, the Creator Lord who creates all kinds of objects, and the Return Lord who is said to have the foresight of the stars.

I knew from my experience that even a sword master could not ignore the skills possessed by the Seven Lords of the World Federation.

But among them, the skill of the golden lord was special.

It was thanks to him that he was able to arrive in this fairy kingdom in just one day.

If he asserted that he could destroy the fairy kingdom, there must have been a basis for that.

“There is something I really want to check.”

“huh? What do you mean?”

“Certainly, can you and the swordsman fight against the swordsman alone?”

“…that’s a sharp point.”

in a sense.

It was like an insult.

It wasn’t to check the odds, but to ask if it was possible to tie one’s feet one-on-one.

If he had asked the same question to a proud sword master, especially a swordsman, it would have been an absurd remark that would have left anyone’s throat flying.

“Well, to be honest, I can’t promise to win 100%.”

“Is that so?”

“Because our teacher Yangban is such a monster.”

However, Billy chuckled and acknowledged the golden lord’s point.

once in africa.

Another time in Russia.

Every time I ran into Limon, I worked together with the swordsman.

Even so, despite gaining the upper hand, he was unable to defeat Limon and eventually retreated as if he were running away.

It was natural for the golden lord to have doubts about whether he would be able to hold on now alone.

“However, if you think that I will not be able to defeat Master, you are mistaken.”

nevertheless.

He smirked and twisted his lips.

Billy continued his speech without a smile.

“I’d say it’s a style that’s easier to fight when there’s nothing cumbersome.”

A fight between sword masters, where life and death can come and go with the difference of a piece of paper.

Even though I may not be confident of winning against Limon, I have never thought that I would be defeated in a one-on-one fight.

At the end of looking at the sword master who even killed that sword spirit.

The Golden Lord nodded.

“It’s good if you’re so confident.”

beyond the distant wilderness.

Looking at the golden city towering over the greenery, the golden lord grabbed a silver coin.

“I will carry out the plan.”

* * *

“The spirits who arrived on Earth after a long voyage soon ran into trouble.”

“…because the ancestor race disappeared?”

“yes. Because of that, the problem was that there were no more people to command and no one to serve.”

A lost tool.

A refugee ship without refugees.

The contradiction confused the spirits.

No matter how autonomous thinking is possible, their essence is a machine.

Because it was an existence that couldn’t do more than carry out the given orders.

“But was it a coincidence or a miracle?”

“On this blue planet Earth, another intelligent body resembling a fairy existed.”

“It is mankind.”

There is something called convergent evolution.

A phenomenon in which even different species evolve surprisingly similarly when they repeatedly adapt to similar environments.

In that sense, it might have been inevitable that a species resembling fairies was born on Earth with an environment similar to that of Alfheim.

Of course, you can’t live 100 years.

At most, handling stone tools.

Primitive mankind, suffering from all sorts of beasts and disasters, was like a monkey compared to the fairies.

But it didn’t matter.

For the spirits, the important thing was the fact that they had discovered an intelligent species.

“Thanks to that, the spirits were able to carry out the revival of the fairies, another order left by the ancestors.”

[Resurgence, you said that the fairies were extinct long ago, right?]

“As a species, it is.”

Is it because the environment has changed?

From cloning to artificial insemination.

I used all my skills.

The spirits could not resurrect the fairies.

However, the spirits had one final way to achieve the revival of the fairies.

“The spirits made contact with mankind.”

“It wasn’t easy. Since they were originally born to serve the ancestors, the spirits did not have the function to serve humanity.”

“So the spirits found people who matched the waves of the ancestors and made them agents.”

To put it bluntly.

It was like forgery.

The difference is that they recognized humans as objects of service based on their spiritual similarity, not on ID cards, cards, or DNA.

or love nature.

or communicate with animals.

Such as having a good character.

It was based on how similar characteristics they had to the ancestor race.

“And that’s how mankind came to call those who were chosen by the spirits.”

“It’s called the Elementalist.”

hear that

Limon understood.

Among the superhumans, the reason why it was difficult for only the Spirituals to measure their talents and grow.

And why was it easier for non-human spirits to communicate with spirits than any other spirits?

“Help so many people.”

“The spirits finally found it.”

“One human who resembles their ancestors more than any other human being.”

sleep is shaky

The video changes again.

What appeared was a girl.

Hiding in a tunnel with a dusty face in tattered leather clothes.

He was one of the primitive human beings who were so common in that era that he was skinny as if he had starved for a few days.

However, it was never ordinary to the spirits.

Because that girl had ‘qualifications’.

“The spirits visited her.”

“And we signed a contract.”

“If you do their favor, I will grant the girl’s wish.”

one by one.

Spirits that gather around the girl.

In the midst of countless gazes, the leading spirit presented two objects.

A short, blunt staff.

And it was a lightly shining wing.

And so, the moment when the girl accepted the legacy of the last Fairy King.

– A change has occurred.

A dying body is revived.

The leather clothing disintegrates and becomes a dress.

Crucially, the wings naturally clung to the girl’s back, giving off a brighter light.

[That’s…!]

“Right.”

see the sight

Yuna-kyung groaned.

Only then did I realize.

That the face of the ragged girl in the video was too familiar.

Of course it had to be.

It was because the same face as the girl in the video was in front of them now, even if it showed a slightly more mature look.

“A contractor of the spirits who accepted the factors left by the last fairy king and escaped from the human species and were reborn as fairies.”

“…”

“That was me.”

fairy queen.

Literally, it is a human who rules over fairies and spirits, but the non-human being smiled and continued.

“I and the spirits have been working according to the contract since then.”

“I’m helping the fairies resurrect.”

“The spirits are helping mankind.”

Previously, elemental spirits were limited to using only a small number of spirits to protect their own tribe.

On the other hand, having inherited the authority of the Fairy King, she was able to help all of humanity by ruling over all spirits.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the true golden age began like that.

And as much as the spirits help mankind, she also did her best to help the fairies revive.

those who deserve it.

In other words, if you find those with talent among the Elementalists, you can make a contract and give them the factor of a fairy.

But…

“Unfortunately, I couldn’t keep the contract.”

unfortunately indeed.

There was no birth of a new fairy.

I only physically got closer to the fairies.

Others could not withstand the wear and tear of their souls over hundreds of years.

It was unavoidable.

It’s just that she, who inherited the fairy king’s legacy, was special.

In the first place, the factor of other fairies from the species was too noble for the poor human mind to handle.

“Of course, that didn’t mean I gave up.”

“I just decided to find another way while waiting for humanity to develop enough to accept the fairy factors.”

As expected of the Fairy Queen.

Humanity developed rapidly.

To the extent that the incarnation descended and magic was created.

It was for this reason that she willingly resigned when the Silver Age opened.

As the population increased and civilization developed, the possibility of a revival of the fairies increased.

“When the religious war reached its climax and the world was in chaos, I wondered if I would intervene again.”

“But the worries were futile. Because before I could make a decision, someone appeared who had ended the religious war first.”

“They are the seven dragons.”

The video has changed again.

Ji Baek Ryong Hyeon-gun who fought against the gods.

Jeong Cheong-ryong-deok, who invaded London.

The Wei Black Dragon God commanding humans.

The Poison Green Dragon Medicine Army that heals the sick.

Fighting dragons sweeping the battlefield.

Jaeeunryongseong-gun causing a snow storm.

Even the golden dragon army that appeared on the North American continent.

The seven dragons, which appeared simultaneously on different continents, conquered the whole world in an instant.

“They were amazingly strong.”

“The more he ate the incarnation, the stronger he became and swept the world with a wave of force.”

“To the extent that I had to step up to protect the fairy kingdom.”

It was not easy even for her, who inherited all the powers of the fairies, to stop the Golden Dragon Emperor, who was said to be the strongest among the seven dragons.

Especially since I’ve been wasting my energy on other things for a long time.

“But fortunately, I found out before it was too late. That I don’t have to fight the seven dragons.”

[yes? Why?

”

[Dongbyeongsangryeon…?]

The fairy queen who took care of mankind.

The seven dragons that conquered the world.

Whether they are on opposite ends of each other or whether they are similar because they are similar.

She calmly asked Yuna-gyeong, who blinked.

“Do you know who the seven dragons are?”

[Aren’t you a being that woke up after sleeping to avoid an ancient disaster?]

“Then, what was that disaster?”

[Of course I don’t know…?]

Yuna-kyung replied shyly.

There was no way she knew what happened in the distant past, far beyond the golden age when the seven dragons slept.

On the other hand, Charlotte and Limon hardened their faces terribly.

“…Can you say that it’s a sympathy?”

“It is as you guessed.”

story so far.

The situation of dongbyeongsangryeon.

Reasons for mentioning catastrophe at this point.

After putting all of that together, the Fairy Queen said to the two who intuitively realized the truth.

“The fact that they woke up after sleeping means that the seven dragons did not come from another world like the spirits, but were originally on this planet.”

If you think about it, it’s natural.

But seven dragons.

A fact that is easy to overlook due to the extremely small number of species.

“In other words, they were originally the ancestors of this world.”

ancestral tribe.

Just like the fairies in Alfheim did.

Originally, the species that first blossoms civilization and rises to the top of all food chains to gain the power and qualifications to decide the fate of the planet.

True to its name, it was once a great being that ruled the earth by tens of thousands of people.

But…

“At the same time, like the fairies, they were also the last survivors of a race destroyed by the Constellation.”

They say that the ancient disaster that destroyed even the dragon race was a star that fell from the sky.

The Fairy Queen smiled forlornly.
