Solo Swordmaster

#857. Gangma Doryong (降魔屠龍)

* * *

From a long time ago.

It wasn’t that there were no doubts.

The pinnacle of all players and the greatest lord.

Why is the Regressive Lord, who can do anything he wants, even created a criminal organization like the Liberation Brigade to gather the Seven Arcs?

Because it was something I honestly couldn’t understand.

And that question deepened after meeting the fairy queen and learning the truth about the constellations.

From fairies to dragons.

Although it was the Seven Arcs that sealed the power of the Constellations that destroyed the two ancestral races.

It was because I couldn’t figure out why the regressive lord would gather them to break the seal on the constellation.

At least I heard about the purpose of the Constellations from the Holy Lord and understood it to some extent, but I still couldn’t accept it.

If the Constellations were to destroy mankind, it would be the returning monarch who would suffer the most.

“…is it a god of destruction?”

but this moment.

He finally understood.

There is one reason why Ruler became the limb of the Constellation and gathered the Seven Arcs regardless of means.

It’s because the world couldn’t be saved if he didn’t do that.

Absolute among absolutes.

The Last Sword Master.

right from yourself.

“You mean I destroyed the world before you returned.”

“Does it sound like a lie?”

“no.”

“…”

“It could have been.”

“…could it be?”

Maybe it was because he didn’t expect Limon to admit his words so willingly.

I was wiggling my eyebrows.

listen to that humble talk.

Ruler hardened.

Then, looking at Limon with bloodshot eyes, he gritted his teeth and shouted out loud.

“Is it possible for you to destroy the world!”

“okay.”

“…!”

Didn’t he even get angry when his anger reached its peak?

Ruler could be sure.

That’s a lie.

The hot anger that seemed to set the whole body on fire because it couldn’t make the heart that had been dry for a long time go back and forth hotly.

And the hatred that pierced my heart like I had swallowed a thorn I thought I had forgotten.

It made him glare at Limon with eyes that would tear him apart.

“As expected, it’s a monster that destroyed the world.”

“It’s a monster…”

But that gaze.

Limon didn’t bother to avoid it.

I just said quietly while looking at Ruler with calm eyes.

“You are the absolute of this era, but you do not know what an absolute is.”

It wasn’t a mockery.

It wasn’t even ignored.

Calm like an old mountain.

Calm like a dry river

Looking at Ruler until he was bleak, Limon continued.

“The absolute is the one who alone can change the world.”

Absolute

The golden age of the distant past.

An existence that began with the Fairy Queen.

And just as she made a contract with the spirits and opened the beginning of human civilization.

The power to face the world alone and the ability to change even civilization were conditions that the absolutes of each era had to have beyond the basics.

One problem.

“It also means that you are a being that can lead the world into trouble at any time.”

Just because you have absolute power, there is no guarantee that you must use that ability to benefit the world.

The incarnation of the religious war.

The Sorceress Queen rebelled against God.

The seven dragons who ruled the world by force.

And even the corrupted and runaway sword masters.

Among the Absolute, there were those who used that power correctly, but there were also many beings who brought disaster to the world.

No, to be honest, the latter was more overwhelming than the former.

No matter how right your beliefs, when acted upon with absolute force, it can become more terrible violence than any evil.

Even more so, the Absolute, who could change the world at will, was the one who was more prone to being intoxicated by desire than anyone else.

That is why the Fairy Queen, who has contributed to the world unwaveringly for a long time, is respected by everyone.

Watching Limon talk calmly, Ruler gritted his teeth.

“Since all absolutes are monsters anyway, is it natural that you destroyed the world?”

“I didn’t take it for granted. I just acknowledged that it was possible.”

It is the history of mankind that even the Absolute, who possessed power that no one could touch, gave up and stepped down according to the flow of the times.

Even if you’ve been protecting humanity up until now.

There’s no way that will happen in the future.

As if to say the natural principle that when the sun rises, it will set someday.

Watching Limon speak calmly, Ruler made a fierce expression.

“Is that what the human guardian deity would say?”

“Because I am also a human being.”

“If you think so, kill yourself now. Because that’s the only thing a human can do before you’re the protector of humanity.”

“If it were the me you met before returning, that might be correct, but that is not me.”

no matter how similar they look.

As if the characters in the parallel world are different beings after all.

At the point where Ruler returned, it became a non-existent future, and the future in which he destroyed the world also disappeared.

That’s why I calmly accepted what Ruler said as if it were someone else’s story.

Limon added a word.

“Above all, I still have something to protect.”

Either as a protector of mankind.

Whether as the groom of the seven princesses.

I have no intention of giving up my life.

At the end of his words, Limon looked straight into Ruler’s eyes.

“But I will admit that you have reasons to kill me.”

“…”

“So, go for it.”

“…”

“It’s impossible for you anyway.”

“…yes, that might be impossible for me.”

If you want to kill yourself, Limon tells you to do it by force, but doesn’t care about the possibility of defeat.

Ruler didn’t deny it.

Of course, he is the absolute leader of this era.

He was a superman who even created a new craft called Jinryongseongong based on seventy-two types of martial arts and martial arts.

Of course, the blood of the dragon was completed.

The fact that he overpowered Li Qingyu, who amplified his psionic power by resonating with himself in the parallel world, is proof that his power is not inferior to that of a sword master.

No, to be honest, if it had been another sword master, I would have been confident enough to overwhelm him.

But Limonman was an exception.

what a monster he is

what can you do

Even though I’ve never competed directly, I’ve experienced it painfully through regression.

“It doesn’t matter.”

But even knowing that, Ruler chose to fight Limon instead of fleeing.

Is there no point in running away?

Because even if you die, you can return?

It wasn’t just that.

There was a bigger reason.

“Now that you have the Gangma Dragon Sword, even if I fail, the rest will surely defeat you.”

While fighting Li Qingyu.

Take advantage of the opportunity to keep the Black Dragon Princess in check.

Remembering Wanderer who succeeded in escaping with the powerful dragon sword, Ruler smiled coldly.

It’s only a matter of time before Wanderer, who can use Descent of the Constellation and is a sword master, unseals the mighty dragon sword.

If that happens, the majority of the Seven Arcs will be able to do things on a completely different level than before.

Above all, the mighty dragon sword is the strongest magic sword.

A weapon that can kill Limon.

Ruler could have given up his life as long as Wanderer could wait until he escaped the sword gun with the mighty dragon sword.

After all, he has one purpose.

kill this god of destruction

Because it was to save the world.

“I’m sorry, but that won’t happen.”

but right after that.

Ruler hardened his face.

It wasn’t just that Limon wasn’t agitated or regretful at all even though the river magic dragon sword was taken away.

It was because of his deep eyes.

Why do you look at yourself with such eyes that you can feel regret, let alone anger?

To Ruler, who feels an ominous feeling for no reason.

Limon said quietly.

“Because you guys haven’t gotten your hands on the river magic dragon sword yet.”

“…What do you mean?”

“I mean literally.”

“….”

In the deepening ominousness.

As Ruler hardens his face.

Limon hurriedly asked a rather random question.

“Yam Dragon Blade is basically a one-handed swordsmanship. Do you know why?”

A dagger or a sword, etc.

I don’t know if it’s a light one-handed sword.

Long and heavy longswords are basically wielded with both hands.

This is because it is faster and stronger to wield with both hands rather than one, and it is easier to use more sophisticated swordsmanship.

It is to hold a shield with the other hand to focus on defense, or to use it with one hand reluctantly when it is difficult to use one arm.

from that point of view.

Even if you use both hands as needed, the basic swordsmanship was an irregular swordsmanship.

“The reason is simple.”

Because it’s a swordsmanship created by a sword master with superhuman physical abilities?

Because you can wield the sword freely with one hand?

That was also a reason.

But a more crucial reason.

A secret that is not the secret of the yam dragon blade.

Limon said calmly.

“It’s because the dragon sword my master invented was a dual swordsmanship.”

“…!”

The Bronze Age of the past.

Before becoming a sword master.

Being chased by countless masters of the Seven Dragons, the Sword Emperor, who always dealt with many alone, felt that his hands were lacking.

With the simple idea that if one sword is not enough, you can use two swords, and with crazy talent, he created the twin swordsmanship that deals with two swords.

That’s right, the dragon sword.

And the ideal that was created based on that dragon slaughter sword.

It was only natural that the yam dragon blade should be opened with one hand.

“Then no way…!”

But the moment I heard it.

The fact that Ruler distorted his face wasn’t just because he found out that it was buried in history.

their fatal delusions.

The mistake I made because of it.

More than anything, it was because I realized the hopeless truth.

And Limon calmly affirmed the ruler’s speculation.

“Yes, what was sealed in this sword gun and what you took was not the Kangma Doryongsword.”

“…”

“It’s a dragon sword.”

distant past.

Two new swords that were smelted by the dragon’s blood from the horns of the dragon that the sword emperor had cut.

However, in the last fight with the seven dragons, the Sword Emperor died and one of them was broken.

Sword Demon used the horns of the three dragons he had defeated in the Sword Dragon Wars to recreate the broken dragon sword.

“And…”

33 years ago.

Dungeon opens.

Constellations appear.

When a meteor shower fell upon the world.

Among them, the sword that cut one of the very special seven stars that fell on him out of nowhere.

The reason why only one Limon can exist in this cross world no matter how many parallel worlds overlap.

The remains of the seven dragons that the Seven Dragons have been searching for for hundreds of years.

One of the only two swords that cannot be broken even by the Sword King’s blade, which no other sword can withstand.

A demonic sword that drove the Sword Demon crazy with too much power and forgot his own swordsmanship because of the power of the sword.

Nevertheless, no one can deny that the first sword in the world has been passed down from generation to generation from the sword emperor through the sword master.

And….

Sreuleung.

over the past hundreds of years.

Except for one moment.

always in the car

Protected from countless enemies.

All powers are sealed, so it looks too ordinary except for antique-like things.

Even so, he pulled out a sword that was stronger and more dangerous than Plato’s carving knife, which was the same Seven Arcs.

Limon finished his speech quietly.

“This is the strong demon sword.”
