Solo Swordmaster

#846. still don’t realize

* * *

Stride.

taking a big step

Wanderer felt impatient.

It’s not enough to summon a ghost horse right away and run through this fog.

This situation, in which she had to proceed carefully because she did not know where there might be any traps or guards, was so annoying that she was going crazy.

More than anything, what stimulates Wanderers is the constant roar.

And it was the magic of the reincarnated monarch that was getting more and more clear in it.

‘Fucking cheat skill…’

he said.

Wanderer gnashed his teeth.

Of course, all of the monarch’s skills are fraudulent.

Even her skill in reviving the lion was phenomenal.

However, even such a wanderer had no choice but to spit out the word cheat against the reincarnated lord.

To be reincarnated every time you die and come back stronger in another world.

Why did he only have the insignificant ability to deal with death and the soul instead of such great power?

The sticky resentment, curse, envy, and jealousy quickly ate away at her heart.

‘If he even gets his hands on the Seven Arcs…’

He’s already ranked second.

What if you even get your hands on the mighty dragon sword?

Perhaps even the regressive monarch who thought he would never be pushed out of the top spot might give way to the reincarnated monarch.

And that also meant that the number of opponents that Wanderer himself could never overcome increased to two.

‘I can’t do that!’

Wanderer flew sparks in his eyes.

It is only you who can obtain the Kangma Dragon Sword.

Only then will you be able to rise to the top of the World Federation and rise even higher after that.

That’s why I was stepping even further.

stop stepping upright.

She hardened her face.

An endlessly fluctuating fog mixed with demonic energy.

It was because he found a person standing tall and looking at him on the other side.

“…Ruler.”

everyone scattered.

Now, you don’t know when you will encounter the Seven Dragons.

It’s something to be relieved enough to meet an ally, not an enemy.

Far from being relieved, Ruler quietly asked her, whose eyes were even darker and wary.

“Did the Queen of Magic run away?”

“…If you had joined a little earlier, this wouldn’t have happened.”

Rather than blaming him, Wanderer chewed out at the plain words, as if he knew that would be the case.

Of course, I didn’t actually want Ruler to join. Rather, it was the opposite, so I argued to hide my inner feelings.

However, it is true that if it was Ruler, he would have been able to find everyone and join them.

So Wanderer asked sharply, expressing his resentment for having made him have vain hopes.

“What are you doing now that you’re here…!”

“I had work to do.”

“What could be more important than finding the Seven Arcs!”

“I figured out why we couldn’t find the last Seven Arcs until now.”

“…!”

That moment.

Wanderer raised his eyebrows involuntarily.

I couldn’t get my hands on the sixth Seven Arcs River Magic Dragon Sword because I didn’t know where the sword gun was.

But even that was better than the seventh.

It was the last Seven Arcs that even the Ruler, who had returned countless times, couldn’t find the clue, let alone its location or identity.

in that sense.

If you got the clue of the last Seven Arcs, you could understand why Ruler was so late.

In the end, she couldn’t argue anymore, and she asked quietly, suppressing her deepening resentment.

“…what is the reason?”

“It doesn’t matter now.”

“what…?”

So it was.

The reason why Wanderer could not understand the answer.

To say that nothing else and the clues of the last Seven Arcs are not important.

It was more absurd given that he was a ruler who had returned countless times to find the Seven Arcs.

to such a wanderer.

Ruler said calmly.

“The most important thing now is how the Seven Dragons pursued us.”

“…You must have known the location of the sword gun from the beginning.”

“No, that’s wrong.”

“Then Ruler, do you think they were lucky enough to find the location of the sword gun and come after us?”

“There is no luck in the world.”

“…”

“And luck doesn’t change the fact that they shouldn’t have been able to come here in the first place.”

“what do you mean…?”

what kind of answer is this?

To Wanderer, who frowned, Ruler did not bother to explain.

Instead, he just opened his mouth.

“There is a fact that I should have realized earlier.”

“…You realize what?”

“The reason we lost.”

“…”

Now that I’m thinking about that, what am I supposed to do?

Wanderer didn’t ask.

It’s a conversation rather than a conversation.

It is an act to reflect, organize, confirm, and be sure of what you know by saying it once.

That’s why Ruler calmly continued talking ahead of her who just kept silent.

“We were never going to lose this war. Rather, it should have won.”

When the nine sword masters were resurrected, their strength was already overwhelming.

In fact, even if they waged an all-out war without the need to establish a World Federation, they were able to overwhelm the Seven Dragons.

However, in that case, if the Seven Dragons disappeared and waged a guerrilla war, the whole world would be ruined and it would be more difficult to find the Seven Arcs, so I just withheld it.

That’s why they established the World Federation and tried to destroy the Seven Dragons step by step.

maybe it was overkill.

But it was never conceited.

With nine sword masters and even monarchs, they had the strength and qualifications to do so.

“The reason we were defeated was because there was a traitor inside.”

“I know that much…”

Wanderer gnashed his teeth.

The monarchs who were the center of the World Federation.

Among them, the infinite lord Lee Chun-gi kept stealing information from the inside.

Because they always had to lose their players to the Seven Dragons and be defeated one by one by Limon.

But at the words of such a Wanderer.

Ruler shook his head.

“No, I don’t know.”

“…What do you mean you don’t know?”

“Haven’t you realized yet?”

The fact that I didn’t even realize it because of the future that changes every time I return, and I finally noticed it a while ago.

The most decisive reason why they had no choice but to lose.

looking at her with heavy eyes

Ruler said quietly.

“That the traitor wasn’t just the Infinite Lord.”

“You mean the Holy Lord…?”

“I am not talking about her. I mean a meaner, more cunning, outright traitor.”

Even though he disagreed with himself, the divine lord never betrayed the World Federation.

But the other traitors were different.

Of course, he interfered with their work in so many ways that the betrayal of Lee Chun-gi, who only stole information, seemed insignificant.

Even so, he had been hiding his betrayal until this moment with all sorts of cunning tricks.

“Think about it.”

“…what?”

“Who was it that overestimated the Seven Dragons and convinced us that we should never wage an all-out war?”

“…!”

the moment I heard that.

Wanderer hardened.

Who is the ruler talking about?

Because I knew right away.

No, I couldn’t have known.

As absolute as they were, the monarch and sword master were all arrogant.

Among them, who were confident that they could win in an all-out war, only one was wary of the Seven Dragons.

I fought the princess of the Seven Dragons.

I went through a hardship that everyone knows.

Also, it’s natural to be hostile to the Seven Dragons.

Because he was the only one who was able to convince others based on his own experience.

And the moment you know that.

Wanderer realized.

Right now, Ruler…

no, that he wasn’t looking at him from the beginning.

The fact that in the first place everything he had said so far had been addressed to the person standing behind her, not to himself.

“As a result, both us and the Seven Dragons. It was like playing in the palm of your hand from the beginning.”

“…”

“Isn’t it?”

Behind Wanderer.

Standing crookedly there.

who was listening to his story.

From the beginning to the present, he has been working hard and actively cooperating with Wanderer more than anyone else to achieve his long-cherished wish

.

That’s why we dig into the heart of the World Federation.

A traitor who smirked and pretended not to know even as he skillfully ate the flesh of his heart and spread poison.

“—Billie with the sword.”

* * *

And.

A quiet silence passed.

Not even breathing.

In silence, as if time had frozen.

The awkward cowboy, who had been silently listening to Ruler’s story until now, only opened his mouth after a long time had passed.

“…I understand your frustration. But isn’t it too much for you to hold on to your loved ones and blame them?”

“Are you trying to pretend?”

“It’s not pretentiousness, it’s a protest. If I were a traitor, would I have fought so hard with Master until now?”

“I admit that you were the most active in fighting the swordsman.”

Unexpectedly, calmly.

Ruler acknowledged that fact.

Among the revived Sword Masters, Billy fought the most with Limon and the Seven Dragons.

That’s because he was the one who threatened Limon or, on the contrary, had many lives passed.

“But that’s why you were able to create opportunities for swordsmiths to defeat the other sword masters individually.”

“….”

“Including giving an appropriate excuse every time I had a golden opportunity to deal with the sword attack and backing down.”

Even in a duel with a swordsman.

even in Africa.

Even in Russia.

Even in the fairy kingdom.

Even though Billy was always the first to step out of a fight with Limon, that’s why no one doubted him.

Seeing Ruler calmly pointing out, Billy made an even more absurd expression.

“You’re being too pushy. You know very well that Master is not the kind of person to be treated so easily, right?”

“Do you think so?”

“Of course.”

Rather, thanks to his own wise judgment, the World Federation was able to endure so far.

To Billy, who is resentful.

Ruler spoke again.

“Then answer me.”

“What do you mean?”

“I wonder if the swordsmith and the princesses of the Seven Dragons, who should be running around busily to block the knife you shot, were able to come after us.”

“That’s it…”

“Stop talking nonsense about them giving up their territory. It’s because we don’t know each other that that’s impossible.”

“….”

Unless you’re sure all the knives left will fall into the sea or in the middle of the desert.

The guardian deity of mankind and the descendents of dragons could not have pursued them.

Listen to what Ruler said.

with your mouth shut again.

Billy quietly turned his head.

Ruler who looks at himself with unwavering confidence in his heavy eyes.

And a wanderer whose eyes are mixed with many emotions, such as surprise, disbelief, suspicion, anger, and murderous intent.

watch in turn

Raise your hand slowly.

After scratching and cheekily scratching the back of the head.

I grinned.

“Hey, this is how you get caught.”

“…!”

so listen to it

Wanderer widens his eyes.

Ruler opened his closed mouth.

The moment Billy shifted his attention pretending to scratch his head with one hand and reached out like lightning with the other hand he had tucked into his jacket.

poop!!

– Red blood.
