Solo Swordmaster

#912. are you crazy

from the beginning to here.

They were the ones who easily broke through the dungeon.

And when I easily passed the 60th floor, which is called the devil’s wall, I thought so.

Leonidas Dungeon is a place where many high-level players come and go. Because I thought the remnants of the World Federation were hiding deeper.

But beyond the 70th floor, which is difficult even for most masters.

The members of the Seven Dragons also pass through the 80th floor, which is becoming increasingly burdensome.

Even a master class master couldn’t find any trace of the World Federation until he reached the 90th floor, where he had to be nervous.

Little by little, I couldn’t help but feel suspicious.

“That is strange. There must be hundreds of remnants of the World Federation.”

“There is no sign of anything like that.”

“yes. Do you think that no matter how large the dungeon is and how thoroughly they hide, there can be no trace like this?”

“…well.”

Li Qingyu put on an ambiguous expression.

She was a master of stealth who even assassinated swords, and the princess of the Black Dragon Clan, all of whom were good at stealth.

But I don’t know if I’m alone.

It was close to impossible even for her to cover her tracks so thoroughly while undercover for weeks with hundreds of members of her clan…

“Because players have so many different skills. I cannot say for sure that it is impossible.”

“Hmm, that’s not wrong.”

“After all, there is only one way to check.”

After such a brief discussion.

they moved on again.

Whether the remnants of the World Federation are hiding in a deeper layer.

Or was it already noticed and ran away or the information was wrong in the first place.

After all, the only way to be sure was to clear this dungeon to the end.

However, the progress was slow.

From the 90th floor, map information was insufficient, and the level of danger of monsters and traps that appeared could never be underestimated.

Above all, it was necessary to be cautious as there might be an ambush by the World Federation.

But even if that boundary is in vain.

While advancing through the dungeon, nothing stood in their way.

Not to mention the remnants of the World Federation.

“…I wondered if that was the case. There are no monsters at all.”

[It’s not that there aren’t areas in the dungeon that are filled with traps or obstacles without monsters… but I don’t think this is such a place.

jerk jerk.

91st floor 92nd floor 93rd floor.

Sometimes there are pitfalls and difficulties.

It advances through a space that does not feel like a presence at all.

94th floor 95th floor 96th floor.

in the deep, dull darkness.

With superhuman abilities, he finds the only way out of a complex and vast labyrinth.

97th floor 98th floor 99th floor.

Air getting heavier and heavier.

Even though nothing happened, the tension deepened as if falling into a swamp.

So….

[…Really living and living, not even before, but after birth, there are times when I visit the 100th floor of the dungeon twice.] A

particularly large and thick pillar.

An antique stone building.

A road wide enough for an army to march.

It is on a different level from the dark and narrow aisles so far.

On the 100th floor, which can be said to be the bottom of all dungeons containing the ancient Greek city.

Yuna-kyung sighed.

Originally, the 100th floor was the end of the dungeon.

Normally, only those who have reached level 99 can take on the challenge.

It was a place where those who attacked there could reach level 100, get exclusive items, and become the absolute monarch.

The 100th floor is a dream for every player.

It was a place and a goal itself that I wanted to reach no matter what the cost.

But at this very moment.

Upon reaching the 100th floor, Yuna-kyung’s expression was helpless.

It wasn’t because the 100th floor didn’t mean much since he was no longer a player.

Previously, he came all the way here to catch the Labyrinth Lord Labyrinth, which was the remnant of the Liberation Brigade, and this time to catch the remnant of the World Federation.

And the toxic uneasy atmosphere surrounding her made her shudder.

“…Fortunately, there are no restrictions on entry.”

“Huh, I’m really surprised. At Charlotte, only one person could enter, so I thought there would be something this time too.”

Unlike Yuna-kyung, the princesses did not feel particularly inspired after entering the 100th floor.

It just kept moving forward.

The space itself is open and open.

The road is not too wide.

Towards the inner side of the queer city, where the tall buildings surrounding it make you feel more trapped in some way than the 99th floor you have been through so far.

So, the center of the city.

It’s too grand to be a royal palace.

It’s too lofty to be a temple.

It’s too neat to be a parade ground.

Anyone can see that the most important and dangerous monster in this vast dungeon is the boss room.

No, in what would have been the boss room to be precise.

they finally found

“Welcome, everyone.”

With a gentle smile on his face.

A woman in a fancy dress.

Holy Lord Johanna greeted them warmly, like a bride welcoming a lost lamb.

“Welcome to our cathedral.”

Since reincarnation until now.

Thanks to Limon, Yuna-kyung met several monarchs unintentionally.

The magic lord who caused the London Crisis.

The monster lord that covered Brazil.

A summoning lord who was engrossed in war.

The golden monarch who caused the economic collapse.

From the dead to the reincarnated monarch.

Including other monarchs who were entangled in it, there were even fewer monarchs who did not know at all.

And the more she went through such monarchs, the more she felt that there were few decent ones among them.

Was it because he became a monarch?

So whether you could become a monarch.

They were all broken somewhere.

Even the infinite lord Lee Cheon-gi, who abandoned all ties with wealth and fame and became Limon’s apprentice to learn swordsmanship, could not be called normal.

So it was.

The first time I saw the Divine Lord.

Why did Yuna-kyung feel uncomfortable?

For a monarch, she seemed too normal.

He even made the decision to surrender at the forefront when the World Federation collapsed.

It was to the point of reflecting on himself that he might have been too prejudiced against the monarch.

but this moment.

The bottom of the deep dungeon.

Seeing the divine lord with a peaceful smile instead of being nervous even in front of the princesses of the Seven Dragons who came to catch him.

Yuna-kyung couldn’t help but feel a sense of incongruity again.

“Wasn’t it false information?”

And it was not only Yuna-kyung who felt a sense of incongruity.

Among the remnants of the World Federation that I have been searching for so far, I have met the Holy Lord, who can be said to be the core.

Because no one was happy about it.

because everyone noticed.

why is she here

“Huh, you say it as if you were waiting for us.”

“Because I was waiting.”

“…You knew we were coming from the beginning.”

“do not misunderstand. It’s not because President Shin Myung-woon sold you out. They knew we were going to end up like this, but we just contacted them.”

Li Qingyu looked at the Holy Lord with deeply sunken eyes.

To be honest, it wasn’t unexpected at all.

From the entrance of the dungeon to here.

why was it so easy

As much as I had always had doubts, I expected it to some extent.

One problem.

“It is questionable. I’d like to know if you mean they intentionally leaked information to trap us.”

Ainsha tilted her head.

If I had just run away, I would have understood.

However, the reason why Johanna remained here was incomprehensible to not only her but everyone else.

I don’t know if it was before.

Returning Lord or Reincarnated Lord.

And the resurrected Sword Master, etc.

It was because the World Federation, which had already lost all its threatening powers, couldn’t afford to threaten them even if they trapped them.

Knowing that fact, they entered the dungeon without hesitation.

In a sense, complete disregard.

It was a humiliating point, but…

But the divine lord was neither angry nor ashamed.

just smiled

“That’s such a sad misunderstanding.”

“What are you sorry about?”

“I mean the main reason I called you here is because I wanted to talk to you one last time.”

“Wait a minute, so you called us over just to have a conversation?”

“yes.”

“…Are you crazy?”

no one else

I can’t believe Yekathrice said this.

Normally, everything would be absurd.

But today, other princesses are also looking at Johanna with similar eyes.

Rose asked calmly with a face trying to be understanding.

“Did we still have room to talk?”

“I believe that in the end you will understand and accept our cause.”

“…why?”

“I should have already told you.”

A reason to convince them.

Ruler creates the Liberation Brigade.

The reason why he inherited his legacy.

The Constellation appeared in the world 33 years ago.

Even though he fell into the fairy queen’s trap and lost most of his powers, he made a dungeon and signed a contract with humans to achieve his final goal

.

“That is the only way to prevent the end of the world.”

* * *

The entrance to Leonidas Dungeon.

Only the masters of the Seven Dragons, including the Dokryongdae, remained, sitting astride the guards and watching the curtain of light.

Limon was thinking.

When the World Federation is captured.

The holy lord who deliberately remained and surrendered.

The explanation she had given that she was an apostle of the moderate faction among the Constellations that were said to be divided into two factions.

“…the salvation of the world.”

The purpose of the Constellation is salvation.

It was so vague and absurd that I couldn’t possibly take it straight away.

That’s why he too was engrossed in preventing the regressive lord from getting his hands on the seven arcs, the mighty dragon sword stored in the sword gun.

But now with everything ahead.

The reason why he recalled the words of that time was because of another word.

“And the God of Destruction…”

Because Limon suffered a future that would destroy the world.

Ruler, the regressive lord who wanted to change the future and defeat Limon by borrowing the power of the Constellation to turn back time countless times.

Maybe it’s because of the hardliners and the moderates.

Or is it because of strength and experience.

The behavior patterns of the two people who followed the Constellation’s will were different, and there were subtle differences in their explanations.

However, in the end, their purpose was the same in that what they pursued was the ‘salvation’ of the world.

Of course, it’s a personal belief.

even if they told the truth.

There was a possibility that the Constellations were using them by deceiving them in the first place.

I was even more suspicious when I thought of the behavior the Liberation Brigade and other monarchs had done, especially the Constellations I had seen through them.

But…

“Yes.”

I wasn’t sure before.

Even now, there is no particular reason.

However, the power that the regressive lord has built up to be comparable to that of a sword master, and the vivid hatred that made it possible.

Also, Limon, who had received the teachings of the hatched Sword Emperor, was certain.

“In the end, is that my end?”

The Constellation is the savior of the world.

He must have been a god of destruction.

Calmly accept the truth that your intuition tells you.

The last sword master, who has been protecting humanity for a long time and who has the power to destroy the world at the same time, quietly closed his eyes.
