Solo Swordmaster

#923. In the end, it turned out like this.

“…Swordsmith?”

That moment.

Li Qingyu hesitated.

Aside from the monsters’ attack, it was only natural that he had to leave the dungeon to avoid resonance with the Seven Arcs.

in that sense.

Limon’s instructions were natural.

Nevertheless, there is one reason why she gave the order to retreat.

It was because, after giving the order to get out, Limon himself was moving forward instead of backing down.

“…you’re staying, so you’re saying we should get out?”

“Someone’s got to keep your back.”

“but…!”

“Above all, I still have work to do.”

Watching Limon move his sword slowly again and wipe out dozens of monsters in the aftermath.

Li Qingyu bit his lip.

I knew.

that what he said was right.

And that the later the retreat, the worse the situation will be.

It was because the judgment as the best tactician of the Seven Dragons and the instincts of the Black Dragon were whispering.

nevertheless.

Li Qingyu couldn’t do that.

Limon stood alone in front of numerous monsters.

Just by looking at that figure, the cold blood and the tightening heart that seemed to tear apart made her unable to move, leaving her reason and instincts.

But…

“It’s a princess.”

“…”

“Please.”

Calm.

just silently

If it’s her, you can trust her.

After looking at Limon’s back, who spoke so naturally, he stiffened.

“…You are still cruel.”

bitter and sorrowful.

Nevertheless, in the end, Li Qingyu turned around with a calm smile that couldn’t be said to be painful.

“All retreat!”

“yes?”

“We break through to Yongrinjin! Hasneti and Swordsman please open the way. Ainsha and Yekathrice ask for the left and right, and Rose for the rear. I will take care of it so that Parangi-nim and no one will fall behind.”

“Wait a minute, sister. Then the team leader…”

“The Swordsman will come out after we all leave! Hurry up!”

Hesitating for a while.

Seeing that the other princesses and the eagles started to move according to Li Qingyu’s instructions, Yu Naqing eventually flew into the air.

because everyone knew

Now, every second is urgent.

The more time wasted, the more dangerous everyone and even Limon became.

Fortunately, it wasn’t that difficult to break through the crowd of monsters.

No matter how strong the monsters became, there was no monster that could block the group of 7 absolutes, especially the dagger of the running eagle.

Of course, the dungeon gate was already in front of me.

Especially since Limon was blocking the monsters from following them.

Chow!

So after a while.

I barely reached the dungeon gate.

Until they leave the dungeon.

Limon, who continued to swing his sword, started moving only after feeling that the last one had escaped.

Awesome!

pierce with the tip of a knife.

tapping with the hilt.

The seven absolutes also go through a group of struggling monsters alone.

Even if it’s a famous sword, that’s all.

Compared to the steel magic sword or Plato’s carving knife, it was too ordinary compared to the monsters that were harder than black iron.

Nevertheless, Limon did not care.

Like paper cutting through flesh.

As glass cuts through bones.

Just as water droplets pierce a rock,

with exquisite swordsmanship and transcendent swordsmanship that reached the extreme, he proceeded to slash mighty monsters without hesitation even with a weak sword.

So after a while.

Limon stopped in front of the hole of light.

He was the main culprit of constantly spewing out monsters around the Seven Arcs that floated in the air.

‘…also.’

Is it because you’re getting closer?

Is it because time has passed?

A more clearly felt presence.

Limon stiffened his face as he felt something powerful and uneasy coming from the other side of the hole.

‘Is it a constellation?’

After the Iron Age opened.

Always watching over mankind from the sky.

Contracts with players to give them skills and occasionally send messages.

Except for Descent, he had not directly intervened in the world… An existence that could not be done.

The dragons and fairies were exterminated.

And saved countless worlds.

The Transcendentalists, who had lost most of their power, were finally about to unseal and reveal themselves to the world.

That’s why I’m proud.

holding the sword tightly.

Limon pulled his arm back.

As long as the seal of the Seven Arcs is broken, if the Constellations appear in the world, something irreversible will happen.

And it was because I felt intuition that the only thing that could stop it was now that they hadn’t come over yet.

Taking a deep breath and gathering all the strength of his body, Limon stepped firmly on the ground with one foot and stretched his arm forward.

like opening a window.

The moment the sword was drawn.

『Yam Dragon Kill Sword Forbidden

believer cannot avoid death

.

The most evil swordsman, capable of tearing apart even the soul, pierced the hole in the light.

Calm and

still.

peaceful.

A lake as clear as dew.

In the middle of it, between the roots of a huge tree, she had been asleep for a long time.

it was sleep

But it wasn’t a break.

In order to maintain the confrontation system of Nine Worlds.

And in order to reserve as much power as possible in preparation for situations that may occur at any other time, such as the Elemental War or the Golden Lord’s attack.

assimilate with their own kingdom.

The process of only repeating calculations and correcting errors with the ancient spirits was rather close to endless labor.

Still, there was no pain on her face as she slept.

before going to sleep this time.

Those who met and fought together.

The descendant of the dragon with whom he formed an alliance in the past, and the heir who may succeed him.

More than anything, it is because the encounter with the guardian of humanity instilled hope in her.

Maybe from the golden age…

No, the hope that we might be able to end the war that started from the distant past when the fairies perished.

Because I know the power of the Constellation.

I dare not even dream of winning.

It was such a sweet dream for her, who was even prepared to sleep like this forever if she could delay the destruction of mankind.

To the extent that the past few months have been more peaceful and happy than the tens of thousands of years of life chased by anxiety.

But…

ugh.

The moment the calm lake began to shake violently as it turned red.

Parr.

Long eyelashes quiver.

Eyelids gently open.

Even after waking up after sleeping for more than a few months, with extremely clear and clear eyes.

she saw

A raging lake.

The starlight soaring on the surface of the water seemed to pierce the sky, breaking one of the two layers of barriers surrounding the world.

After spreading all over the world and permeating dungeons.

The monsters pouring out.

“…”

I was locked in a happy dream just a little while ago.

The sight was enough to make her forget everything, but she was unexpectedly unmoved.

Because I knew enough to live too long.

The fact that dreams are only dreams after all.

“…finally it’s started.”

so calmly

but a little sadly.

Softly closing my eyes again.

The fairy queen met the moment she had been preparing for for a long time.

A ruin no one can stop once it begins…

* * *

Kung Koo Goo Goo!

100th floor of Leonidas Dungeon.

A place resembling ancient Sparta.

However, at this moment, it was hard to recognize that it was a city even by historians, let alone by Sparta’s residents.

From monsters to divine lords to creative lords.

It wasn’t just that the entire city was in ruins due to the aftermath of the fight with all sorts of superhumans.

Just now.

end to end.

It was because the sword light that crossed the dungeon penetrated the entire city and swept away everything.

The power of leaving a long and gigantic ditch in the land and digging it out and wiping out the monsters included in the trajectory without leaving a single drop of blood was truly absolute.

whether absolute.

Whether it’s a resurrected dragon.

Even the Sword Master.

If hit head-on, it was a blow that anyone would have to prepare for death.

“…I can’t either.”

However, the face of Limon who had opened the sword was heavy.

The goal he was aiming for with his sword.

It was because the hole of light created by the Seven Arcs was still emitting a soft glow in the air.

It wasn’t that it didn’t work at all.

Limon’s sword must have pierced a hole in the light.

The sudden stop of the continuously pouring waves of monsters was proof of that.

The problem was that the broken light hole was repaired in an instant.

Like water cut with a knife.

Of course he is the Sword Master.

He was a superman who could cut through the sea if he wanted to, and in fact, the sword he had just used had the power to penetrate space.

The problem was that breaking that hole was a lot harder and trickier than that.

Even after cutting the shadow, the main body seems to be intact.

No matter how many times you destroy it, it will be useless unless you can remove the source of light that makes up the hole.

Yes.

the source of that light.

I mean Seven Arcs.

And as a sword master, destroying the Seven Arcs was by no means impossible if he set his mind to it.

‘Either way the result is the same.’

But Limon didn’t.

no i couldn’t

Seven Arcs is finally sealed.

It’s a vessel that holds the power of the stars.

It was because the Sword Master’s intuition knew that if it was forcibly broken, the power of the stars inside would explode and a great disaster would come.

That’s why he didn’t destroy the Seven Arcs in the first place, even though he knew the danger of losing it.

“It ended up like this.”

Truly a quandary.

In a situation where they had no choice but to let go of their hands and watch the constellations appear in this world.

Limon lamented briefly.

There was a vague premonition.

Once the seal of the Seven Arcs was lifted, even he himself would not be able to solve it easily.

After he became a Sword Master.

It was the first time in all of my hundreds of years of life that I had felt so unpleasant, reluctant, and so dangerous.

When the demon descended.

Before the Sword Dragon War.

Even when fighting the Sword Demon.

That in itself was proof that the powers of the constellations we’ve seen so far were only a fraction of it.

fight them or not.

And win or lose.

Once the invasion of the Constellations was allowed, the result would somehow appear in the form of the destruction of mankind.

In the end, there is only one way to save humanity.

It was just to block the Constellations before they came over.

Of course, I had already confirmed that breaking this hole was close to impossible even with a swordsman… but

fortunately out of misfortune.

He still had a way.

…a method that even Limon hesitated to use because it was so dangerous.

But the decision has already been made.

Because there was no time to waste.

It was the moment when Limon, who was holding the sword, was about to take a step.

“Stop.”

“…”

“I’m sorry, Master, but I can’t allow you to break down that door.”

deep and heavy.

voice heard.

Follow the voice that makes this lonely space even more serene.

Limon slowly turned his head.

And saw.

nothing else left now.

A dungeon that should not remain.

A bloody and tattered man who suddenly appeared there.

“…Vlad.”
