“…is that so.”
“exactly.”
Meeting with the princesses of the parallel world.
Fierce battle with the reincarnated monarch.
The last of Billy the Sword.
The end of the regressive monarch.
Wanderer’s escape.
Until the runaway of the barrier.
A blue long-haired beauty with a complicated expression after hearing all the stories about the sword gun.
Rose sighed slightly.
“Of course, we should have gone too, but I’m sorry for making you go through a tough battle.”
“You don’t have to apologize. If I had been forced to follow her in that physical state, it would have been rather a nuisance.”
“I guess so.”
Rose smiled bitterly at Maia’s assertion as a councilor before being a princess.
During the London Defense Battle, fighting sword masters to the death, the internal injuries they sustained were by no means light.
Even if he forced himself to follow the sword, it would have been nothing more than a burden.
I just felt sorry for not being able to help as much as I learned that the fight with the sword was more fierce than I had imagined.
Unlike Rose.
Hasneti didn’t regret it.
Even though they are members of the Red Dragon clan who regard struggle as an instinct, it seems that they are preparing for future wars rather than regretting the war they were not involved in.
He opened his mouth in a muffled voice.
“Do you think the World Federation is over?”
“Shouldn’t that be the case as long as the Regressive Lord and the Commander are dead and all powers have collapsed?”
Charlotte took it languidly.
The Ruler who has been gathering the Seven Arcs using the knowledge of the future since the beginning of the Iron Age.
A Wanderer who has been threatening the Seven Dragons by resurrecting the Sword Masters with the Lion Resurrection Law.
They have been active since the days of the Liberation Brigade, and they are the most important among the monarchs of the World Federation.
that they die
Even the monarchs were almost wiped out.
The World Federation could no longer pose a threat to the Seven Dragons.
But even knowing that.
Hasneti didn’t agree.
I just looked to one side and asked again.
“I don’t think all threats are gone?”
“…It’s not our fault that the Sword Spirit escaped, right? Is it all because of those zombies?”
The one who caught her gaze.
Yekathrice, who was clinging to Ainsha, narrowed her eyes.
No one expected that the sword spirit, who had been fighting fiercely against the princesses of the parallel world, was afraid of something and ran away.
Besides, I had to fight like crazy again to stop the zombies that popped out just in time.
In the meantime, chasing the sword spirit was unreasonable.
Uncharacteristically for Yekathrice, Hasneti nodded slowly at the rather logical protest.
“I am not blaming you. It means that there are people who even ran away from the sword.”
“…I admit it.”
Pushing away the hanging Yekathrice.
Ainsha said expressionlessly.
“It’s not just the Sword Spirit. Including the Sword Demon.”
It was an unquestionable fact that the swordsman Vlad was the spearman who was with the silver princess of the parallel world when she captured Carol.
However, no one saw the sword demon after that, so it must have run away from the sword gun.
Listen to what Ainsha said.
Rose put on a serious expression.
“Two sword masters… They certainly aren’t beings that can be left unattended.”
Vlad, who even dabbled in black magic, is a sword master who does not know what he will do to achieve his long-cherished wish.
Even if it was a running repair, it almost destroyed the world by cutting down the moon in the past.
There weren’t just ‘only’ two sword masters left.
You have to worry about ‘how many’ two sword masters left.
Including the fact that, thanks to the death of the Command Lord, no one to control them has disappeared.
“What are you worried about? If it’s a threat, find it and clean it up.”
“I’d be glad if I could do that…”
It’s hard to find even Limon, a sword master who hides using a black sword.
Will I be able to catch them?
Unlike Rose, who made a complex expression in many ways, Maia spoke cynically.
“When it comes to the Sword Demon and the Sword Spirit, you won’t have to worry about it anymore. The problem is rather the other side.”
“You mean the other side?”
“It’s not just the Sword Master that we missed.”
Like asking for consent to your opinion.
Maia looked away.
“Isn’t that right, Li Qingyu?”
“…”
“Li Qingyu.”
“yes?”
after the meeting begins.
A black-haired girl who had been staring at a teacup until now, only to belatedly raise her head.
Looking at Li Qingyu, Maia narrowed her brows.
“Are you still not feeling well?”
“Ah… no. I was thinking about something else for a while.”
“Huh, that’s a big deal.”
Yekathrice tilted her head.
Losing your mind during a meeting.
It was not like Li Qingyu, even considering the effect of being injured by the sword gun.
Li Qingyu calmly asked, receiving the curious glances of the other princesses.
“What were you talking about?”
“It was about something we should be more concerned about than the Sword Demon and the Sword Spirit.”
“That’s what you mean.”
As if I knew then.
Li Qingyu nodded and continued.
“I think I should focus more on finding you rather than the sword masters.”
“…Li Qingyu, do you think that you are more dangerous than the two sword masters?”
“Not necessarily. It is better to address unknown risks first than those that are clearly identified.”
“Aha, it’s a winning game anyway, so it’s better to reduce unnecessary variables?”
No matter how threatening the Sword Master is.
Isn’t it enough to overturn the situation now that the World Federation has collapsed anyway?
Yekathrice giggles at Li Qingyu’s words that it is better to eliminate unexpected variables.
Charlotte nodded slowly.
“Certainly it would be quicker and easier to find him than the Sword Master.”
“That’s a reason too.”
“You mean there are other reasons?”
“There is a reason.”
After talking for a while.
Li Qingyu looked in one direction and continued.
“…even if we don’t find them anyway, they don’t have much time left.”
That moment.
Silence fell in the conference room.
Because all the princesses were fiddling with their teacups, lowering their eyes, or sighing with their mouths closed.
what she meant
because everyone knew
That’s why Ainsha quietly muttered, always with a clear expression of concern on her expressionless face.
“I don’t know if Lee will be okay.”

In the middle of the magic circle.
All kinds of glass bottles are full.
The cauldron is bubbling.
Strange smoke overflowing.
The sight is truly mesmerizing.
It was a mysterious and fantastic place that everyone could look around without thinking.
But at this moment, there was neither admiration nor wonder on the face of the man standing in the middle.
It was just hardened like a rock.
And with a voice that was harder than that face, Limon quietly opened his mouth.
“…So Asha’s life is in danger?”
“It is.”
with bandages all over the place.
A beauty lying sideways.
Shir put the pipe in his mouth.
Then, inhaling the smoke containing the power of healing and pain relief, he calmly continued talking while suppressing the pain of the wound.
“Oh, you know that too? As long as the master is dead, the lifespan of the resurrected sword master is only a matter of time.”
“…”
“Especially if you’re in a state like your last disciple.”
The life of the revived sword masters is maintained by the spell made by the law of resuscitation of lions.
Since Wanderer died, the lives of the other sword masters had no choice but to gradually be consumed, even if it wasn’t as good as the sword that had gone against the spell.
In particular, Anastasia, who was barely able to survive in a state of suspended animation from the beginning.
I was expecting.
Even so, in a bitter fact.
Limon opened his mouth heavily.
“…how much time is left?”
“Ah, if it were your other disciples, it would last a little longer, but for him, it would be about ten days at the longest.”
At least, as the other sword masters died and the power of the spell became stronger, his health was restored to some extent, so it was this much.
Listen to what Sir said.
Limon asked even more heavily.
“Is there any way to save Asha?”
“Say something that makes sense.”
It’s as if I’ve heard some nonsense.
The legendary archwitch gave a slight snort and continued talking as she swept the ashes from her pipe into an ashtray.
“There are still other sword masters and castings are lacking, so there’s no way that would be possible.”
“…”
Hearing that.
Limon closed his eyes.
It was unavoidable.
Reviving a lion is against the providence of the world.
It was a miracle that Anastasia, who had already died once, was brought back to life like this, but wishing for more was overkill.
“―If it makes sense.”
So it was.
Why is Limon flashing again?
“If you’re a true witch, shouldn’t you be able to go beyond common sense?”
“That means…!”
“Yes, it is possible.”
I think Limon’s reaction was interesting.
The legendary archwitch, who had been laughing a lot, added a word with a meaningful smile on her face.
“Thanks to your brides for cooperating.”
An incantation remaining on the stone tablet of Isis, the legendary great witch who accomplished the feat of reviving a lion obtained from the royal treasury of the Red Dragon clan.
In addition to the fetishes that princesses from other clans readily opened their reports and saved.
to save the sword.
Pieces that she gathered at ten o’clock.
Above all, they weren’t the only ones who helped Sir.
“Although the gift that your stupid student gave me is also great.”
“Billy?”
“The baby made a lot of small talk while interrogating me.”
“…”
“For example, the story of how many treasures and antiques he robbed and collected here and there during his lifetime and where he hid them.”
A sword master who devoted his energy to collecting money and wealth.
In particular, in North America, which has been prospering since the golden age, there were many fetishes such as old spirit spheres and magic spheres.
Even after spending a lot on alcohol and women, he had plenty of money.
He told me all the locations secretly.
Listen to what Sir said.
Limon clenched his fists.
Even though it may look rough, the cunning and cunning disciple’s thorough consideration.
It made him bitter again.
Unfortunately, Sir’s words weren’t over yet.
“There are only a few problems.”
“What problem?”
“One is that even if it is possible to prolong life, there is no guarantee that you can wake the child right away.”
“I don’t even want it that far.”
Limon calmly agreed.
Due to the nature of Jubak, which shares each other’s power in the first place.
With two sword masters left, she knew that Anastasia would be lucky if she just saved her life.
“And the other is that no matter how many fetishes I use, it is impossible to maintain the law of reviving a lion with only my magic.”
“Then what do you need?”
“You don’t need anything special. I just need your resolution and choice.”
“….”
Bite on the pipe again.
After spitting out sweet smoke.
Shir put on a strange smile.
“In that sense, please answer me.”
The reason why the princesses had a meeting with Limon while sending Yuna-kyung out now that the princesses were having a meeting.
Shire looked at him with a deep smile but with extremely serious eyes.
“ – Can you be a shame to save your disciples?”
