Solo Swordmaster

#777 I have something to tell you.

* * *

Maybe it’s because I heard something so unexpected.

For a while, it was hardened like a stone.

Thanks to the spirits’ attack passing by, Yuna-gyeong, who suddenly came to her senses, flew up quickly.

And he went up to the top of Eldorado and shouted back.

“Chief, are you out of your mind?!”

“Your pet is fighting to the death, but as the owner of the name and color, you can’t just watch it.”

“If you’re bored just watching, why don’t you cheer for me!”

Who did you fight to die for?

To Yuna-gyeong, who cried out in frustration at the sight of the person who jumped into the fire by herself.

Limon said calmly.

“But if you just cheer, you’ll die.”

“Wait, who dies! I was thinking of fighting back and making a great performance right now?”

“Is there any way to counterattack?”

“…”

Yuna Kyung kept her mouth shut.

because she knew

At this rate, he had no choice but to suffer unilaterally and collapse.

Then, since the Fairy Queen, Limon, and Charlotte are also in danger, they have no choice but to resort to tricks before that happens.

In that sense, Limon’s judgment is reasonable.

It was reasonable, but…

“Yeah, but that’s right. There’s no way Cowboy oppa would accept the team leader’s request for a duel in the first place, right?”

Yuna-kyung protested.

Billy is a sword master who gets stronger the farther away he fights.

There was no reason for him to accept Limon’s challenge to a duel, as he could defend his overwhelming superiority just by throwing a knife.

However, Limon asserted without hesitation.

“No, I will.”

“why?!”

“Because of his long-cherished wish.”

All of the Sword Masters that Wanderer resurrected had unfulfilled regrets, so they returned to the world.

That’s why you can’t ignore your own longing.

Looking at Limon, who speaks calmly.

Yuna-kyung asked shyly.

“…do you know what cowboy brother’s long-cherished wish is?”

“Yes, I know.”

either as an enemy.

either as a priest.

either as friends.

Limon had a deep relationship with most of the sword masters, and he knew or guessed most of their long-cherished wishes.

Of course, there were exceptions, such as swords with weak ties and sword spirits with long-cherished desires beyond imagination.

At least it wasn’t borrowed.

No, on the contrary, he was someone who knew his longing very well.

“Because he killed the Sword Spirit because of that long-cherished wish.”

“…”

“And even if it’s not because of a long-cherished wish, he’ll appear here.”

“…”

“Because…”

“You’re so amazing.”

Quaang!

Limon couldn’t finish his speech.

light flashes

Right after the night sky is torn apart.

A voice suddenly heard.

And the appearance of the languid cowboy who appeared on the other side of the battleship made him needless to say anything more.

“I wondered why he was busy working at night because no matter how much he knocked on his face, he didn’t shine.”

like observing something.

Billy, who narrowed his eyes and scanned Limon in the wheelchair, asked casually.

“Hey, why is your body like that?”

“Because I’m so overworked thanks to the shoveling done by someone in Russia.”

“Oops, why is an older person overdoing it? This wouldn’t have happened if he had just slept comfortably.”

“Don’t worry. Even though I’m old, I have enough energy to knock on a stupid disciple.”

“Kyahaha, I’m glad that’s true.”

It’s like you’ve heard all the funny jokes.

It was a while to giggle.

Billy, who suddenly erased the smile from his face, looked at Limon with cool eyes.

“—Would you really be able to duel me with that body?”

How messed up Limon’s condition is right now.

Like a sword master with superhuman senses, Limon was not shaken by Billy’s taunting remarks, which he understood as soon as he saw them.

He just calmly pointed out while holding the sword on his lap.

“You have a long tongue.”

“…That’s right.”

fed up

After laughing.

Billy opened his jacket slightly.

And it’s like pulling it out right away.

He said happily while stroking the knife and the pistol at his waist with his fingers.

“The conversation between a gunslinger and a swordsman requires not words, but law, which is gunpowder and a blade.”

As a sword master.

As a gunman in the wilderness.

I enjoy violence rather than words.

A cowboy who does not know how to avoid a duel, even though he will do anything to win, grabs his knife like that.

The moment Limon drew his sword while in a wheelchair.

Kaaang!

beyond decades.

Above the floating city.

The two priests resumed their duel in the wilderness.

* * *

The heart of El Dorado.

The bridge was surprisingly quiet compared to the roaring battle outside.

Is it because the damage caused by the explosion of Muspelheim is greater than expected or is there another reason?

It was all the more so because the Fairy Queen, who was supposed to control the bridge, was holding her staff and keeping her eyes closed and silent.

However, it was not the fairy queen who created the most heavy silence here.

with a hard face.

keeping your mouth shut.

A maid looking at the screen.

Charlotte’s subdued silence made the already calm atmosphere on the bridge even heavier.

“…”

Limon facing Billy on the deck of the El Dorado.

And even Yuna-gyeong, who flies from east to west to prevent the spirits from firing again.

Watching them literally risking their lives to fight, Charlotte thought.

that you have to run away

No matter how desperately Limon and Yunakyung fight, no matter what the fairy queen does, the disadvantageous situation is clear.

There was no reason to stay on a sinking ship.

In the first place, her promise was to accompany her to the fairy kingdom.

All the more in the sense that he had no obligation to protect the lowly man who deceived himself and tried to sell him to the Seven Dragons.

But why?

despite knowing all of that.

When she, unable to leave the bridge in the end, was staring at the screen in silence.

A silent bell rang.

T-ri-ri.

Charlotte was taken aback.

and your own hands.

No, to be precise, I saw a state-of-the-art pager held in my hand.

Before going out to the deck, Limon told me to use it in case of an emergency, and I was silent for a while.

Eventually, the moment she pressed the button on her pager.

What I heard was a familiar voice.

[Can you hear the Swordsman?]

I’ve only heard of it a few times.

Even so, it cannot be mistaken.

To the pessimistic voice that made people feel displeased and angry just by hearing it, Charlotte answered coldly without realizing it.

“Your groom is not here.”

[…Seeing that you received this pager, I wonder if there’s a problem.]

Maybe it’s because North America and South America, which are the closest continents, are their territory.

Or is it because the bombardment of Muspelheim fired by Eldorado was so great that the aftermath was transmitted to other continents?

Green Dragon Princess immediately realized the incident and contacted her.

Maia asked quietly.

[Can you tell me the current situation?]

“What if you don’t like it?”

[If so, please give me one answer. Is he fighting right now or is he in danger?]

“….”

[As expected.] Because

you can never lie.

Maia let out a heavy breath at Charlotte’s response, for which silence itself was the answer.

And after a short silence, he opened his mouth.

[I have something to say about Charlotte.]

“I’m not Charlotte.”

[It doesn’t matter anyway. The important thing is that there are facts you must know.]

“…Facts I need to know?”

[That’s right.]

With a voice that was always cynical and cynical, with a slightly tired expression.

Maia continued.

[What do you think is the reason the swordsman visited you?]

“It’s probably to catch me and sell me to you guys.”

[What a great misunderstanding.]

“A misunderstanding?”

[It means that you don’t even need a swordsman to capture you now, unless you know when you’re intact.]

In the past, I only missed it because I was trying to minimize the damage to civilians because Charlotte, whom I had found, suddenly turned into a dragon and went wild.

He said that only he and the Venomous Dragon Belt would be enough to catch her.

Charlotte couldn’t deny Maia’s cynical words.

whatever it was originally.

Now that I am just a gunman in the wilderness.

Because he did not have the strength to face the absolute princess of the Seven Dragons.

That’s why I couldn’t get involved in the fight going on outside right now and could only watch it here.

That’s why Maia said quietly to the silent Charlotte.

[But even so, the reason why he didn’t come to see you directly was not just to treat you.] The

eighth dragon psionic is something special.

The Seven Dragons, as well as the seven dragons in their lifetime, were desperately searching for them.

Its power was so mysterious and powerful that it could even cure another princess’s intoxication just by resonating with her.

However, that does not necessarily mean that limon is necessary to treat syphilis.

Nevertheless, Limon set out to find Charlotte himself.

No, I had no choice but to go find it.

[If you have to say, it’s rather the opposite.]

“…What does that mean?”

[Literally.]

The other princesses, of course.

Even the best person in the world can intensify the infancy of the coin, so even contact should be avoided.

The reason why Limon was able to visit Charlotte without hesitation and be able to contact and be together.

Maia said coldly.

[―This means that your dragon psionic is absolutely necessary to cure the swordsmith’s coin attack.]

Li Qingyu.

rose.

Ainsha.

Hasneti.

Maia.

Yekatrice.

The more he mixed with the six princesses, the deeper and stronger Limon’s dragon psionics became.

As much as that, it caused a collision with the sword of the dragon slaughter sword he had, and the danger of the coin intoxication increased.

It has only been forcibly balanced with the power of the Great Law of Yin-Yang Joy and the Seven Arcs.

However, as a result of repeated unreasonable efforts in Russia, the balance has already been irreversibly broken.

There is only one way left.

I gave up on balancing it altogether and instead maximized my dragon psionics.

Just like when two similar beasts fight, both will be covered in blood, but if one is too strong, the fight won’t even happen.

With overwhelming dragon psionics, he pressed the sword of the dragon slaughter sword.

And there is only one way.

It just resonated with Charlotte.

…in the same way as with the other princesses so far.

[That’s why we proposed.]

“…”

[I’m telling you to take you by force.]

As a descendant of a dragon with a strong desire for monopoly.

Also, as a bride who loves her husband.

It was never something I was willing to say.

But it was an offer that had to be made.

No matter how much she hated giving Limon to another princess, it was better than losing him altogether.

The reason was that nothing would change if there were already six brides in the first place, and adding one more.

Also, it was the best option in that Charlotte’s coin intoxication would naturally heal.

[But he declined our offer.]

“…why?”

[Why do you think?]

Charlotte was silent.

Maia didn’t bother to elaborate.

Why would such a grumpy and impudent but unnecessarily naive and sincere man do that?

Because I already knew the answer.

[This is the end of what I will tell you.]

“….”

[I will only ask you for one thing.]

That’s why, in your always cynical voice, you can’t hide even in the midst of this, with a little harsh and sharp emotions.

Maia quietly finished her words.

[No matter what choice you make, don’t regret ‘again’.]

Pop.

That was it.

It seems there is nothing more to say.

Because Maia really just cut off communication.

Charlotte looked at the muted pager with complicated eyes, then raised her head again.

And after watching the video on the monitor of the bridge, he finally opened his mouth with his fists clenched tightly.

“Fairy Queen, I have a few questions for you.”

“What are you talking about?”

Is it because the work I was doing is over?

Or was it because she knew how to call?

Looking straight ahead at the smiling fairy queen with her eyes open.

the Wilderness Gunslinger asked.

“Are you thinking of hiring a competent bodyguard?”
