Solo Swordmaster

#956. if so?

* * *

Boom Kwa Gwa Gwa Gwang!

every time the cannon fires.

The vast sky is dyed red.

Ashes and charred bones scatter.

It is truly a one-sided battle.

It was a simple task that couldn’t even be a massacre, just shooting down the flocking monsters one after another with overwhelming firepower.

But at this very moment.

The face of the person responsible for executing the task was never bright.

“…This is a difficult situation.”

An air battleship that pours out a continuous bombardment.

The oldest country in human history and the last legacy of the fairies, Eldorado, the fairy kingdom.

The long-eared beauty fairy queen who was watching the screen from the center sighed lightly.

Send Limon over the gate.

In order to do the most important thing to prevent the invasion of the Constellations, she was the one who put in the most effort and finally completed it.

All that was left was to hold on until Limon destroyed all the dungeon gates and returned… but

the problem was the numerous flying monsters that the constellations had poured out to stop Limon.

Fortunately, as she predicted.

The dungeon gate created in the air quickly disappeared.

However, the monsters that have already appeared have not disappeared.

As a result, what mankind had to deal with was the assault of countless flying monsters, enough to fill the entire sky.

Of course, the bombardment of El Dorado and the back of the sword of the two sword masters of the seven princesses’ superdragons.

Through a transcendental attack, the placenta was destroyed.

However, even half of the monsters left were enough to throw the world into chaos.

From the blockade troops who were already busy just blocking the monsters pouring out of the dungeon gate to the civilians who were busy evacuating from the rear.

I mean all of humanity.

In order to prevent the chaos, she was using all of Eldorado’s firepower to shoot down the flying monsters… but

unfortunately for her.

The situation was not easily resolved.

It would have been easy to wipe them out if they were clustered at a high altitude like before.

This is because as the Santa Maria disappeared and then scattered and descended to a low altitude, damage could be done to the ground as well.

Thanks to that, I had no choice but to shoot down one by one with secondary guns and other weapons instead of the main gun, Muspelheim.

It was a really difficult situation.

Especially in that the princesses who guarded each territory are struggling because of the flying monsters.

So the Fairy Queen thought.

‘…How long can I last?’

no matter how she

The answer was unknown.

What tricks would the Constellations do?

And how quickly Limon will be able to destroy the dungeon and come back.

Even if the computational power of El Dorado and the fairies were calculated, the predictions were different in thousands of ways with only a small variable.

Especially in that other princesses are also struggling in their respective areas.

so that.

Please let her be a variable.

And I hope that the guardian spirit of mankind will return safely.

From the time when there was no religion, I prayed despite living a long time farther than God.

The Fairy Queen fought desperately, pouring out everything she had to protect even one more human.

* * *

6 hours.

long time if long.

Also, if short, a short time.

During the time that Star Drive gave me.

Limon and Yuna-kyung prepared for the upcoming fight.

Fortunately, since it was the road that I was determined to go on in the first place, I had already prepared quite a bit.

Unfortunately, despite all the preparations, neither Yuna-kyung nor Limon could be relieved.

Whether waiting outside the gate is an army of monsters in excess of a billion units, or a constellation in excess of hundreds, or a hell that exceeds the number of people.

because no one knew

So even with a little bit of anxiety.

Limon and Yuna-kyung, who made up their minds, finally reached the other side of the gate.

But…

[…wasn’t it our fault, manager?]

“It’s true that we came to the right place.”

[Right? Are you going here?]

Yuna-kyung made a strange expression.

It was the path I followed with the determination to persevere through any living hell.

This is because the place where the Santa Maria arrived was a place beyond her expectations in many ways.

[I think I came to the wrong place?]

Blue sky.

fresh air.

An expansive orchard.

rippling streams, etc.

The whole world is peaceful and quiet.

The scene where there is no tension, let alone threat, is peaceful to anyone’s eyes.

It was too peaceful to be beyond the dungeon gate where countless monsters were pouring out.

So, is it not the wrong thing?

As Yuna-kyung, she had no choice but to have doubts.

“No, that’s for sure.”

[…on what grounds are you so sure?]

That was it.

Unlike herself, when she saw Limon, who did not have any doubts even after seeing this scene, Yuna-kyung had no choice but to put on a puzzled expression.

But just like when we landed the Santa Maria in a strange world that unfolded as soon as we went over to the star drive.

he didn’t hesitate

I just opened my mouth with a hard face.

“Because…”

[What are you, frog?]

But he couldn’t finish his words.

It was because there was a presence in front of them before Limon could answer.

Small as a dwarf.

Clothes adorned with all kinds of jewels.

To the shiny golden skin.

Seeing the visitor who suddenly jumped out in front of her eyes, Yuna-kyung opened her beak.

[…Monsters?]

[Who treats livestock? Frog!]

The frog got angry at Yuna-kyung’s words.

No, the frog-headed monster narrowed his eyes as if he had realized something belatedly.

[Oh, I see. You are the master’s new collectibles, frogs.]

“Collectibles?”

[The remnants of a destroyed world, Frogs.]

After looking at Limon and Yuna-kyung, as if they were looking at a rare species that had just entered a zoo and was on the brink of extinction.

The frog monster shook his head.

[Humans are common, but talking birds are rare. I can see why you collected it. Frog.]

“I don’t know what you’re mistaken for, but we’re not collectibles.”

[Originally, all collectibles say that.]

Preying.

Even though it’s a frog face, it has a clear laugh that anyone can recognize.

The monster raised one hand.

What appeared at the same time were two shackles.

Each one was the size of a man’s neck and a bird’s ankle, and was made of metal that would fit a slave.

[Come on, this

is a car, a frog.] [Car? That?]

“…What if you don’t like it?”

[There is no right to refuse, frog.]

The frog monster laughed even deeper as he saw Yuna-kyung, who showed a sense of absurdity, and Limon, who frowned.

Like a frog in a well.

[Looking at the fact that it was selected as a collection item, it would have behaved in its own way in the original world, but your petty powers don’t work here. Frog.]

Dig!

As if to prove one’s own words.

The frog monster threw off the shackles.

Then, the two shackles flew to Limon and Yuna-kyung as if they were alive.

Its speed is literally flashing.

It was so fast that even a tolerable master would be caught before realizing it, let alone resist.

Awesome!

[Frog…?]

“Does that little power seem to work?”

…The problem was that Limon wasn’t just a tolerable master.

Looking at the sword in his hand and the shackles split in half, the monster frog made an expression as if his eyes would pop out.

[There’s no way the Sioux collection could refuse the shackles? Frog.]

“Then I guess it’s a collectible.”

[What nonsense is that…! no wait There really is no stigma. A frog?]

The frog monster was taken aback.

Until now, I thought it was just a collectible and didn’t pay much attention to it.

Looking closely, it was because Limon and Yuna-kyung did not see the stigma that should have been given to those who signed a contract with the owner of the constellation.

Besides, the faint energy of this star…

[Ho, are you the owner of another constellation, Frog?]

[What else…?]

“If so?”

It seems that the high-spirited appearance of a while ago is a lie.

When Yuna-kyung looks at the frog monster looking at her with her head bent deep as if her head is about to touch the ground, and she makes a dumbfounded expression.

Limon asked, holding her beak slightly.

It was because I thought I could get some information if I just agreed.

Without even knowing his intentions.

The frog monster roared.

[No matter how different the constellation is, this is the constellation of ‘long tongue that sings rain’. It’s not a place where you can invade without contact like this. Frog.]

“Do I have the right to say that to me?”

[Of course, Frog, I am the great-grandson of ‘Long Tongue That Sings Rain’ after all, Frog.]

“Ah, is that so?”

Is it just heaven?

Or was it to gloss over the fact that they treated them as collectibles?

Thanks to the monster frog teasing its big mouth nonstop, Limon and Yuna-kyung were able to figure out a lot in a short time.

Perhaps the ‘owner of a constellation’ is a constellation.

It is said that this place is the constellation of ‘long tongue that sings rain’.

That this frog monster is a relative of the Constellation and one of the people who manages this place.

And…

“Does the long tongue that sings rain have a hobby of collecting collectibles?”

[Your master is a merciful man, Frog. He gives those who don’t deserve a chance to be saved, frog.]

…The collectibles the monster frog said are survivors in a world destroyed by the Constellation invasion.

“Can I see some of that collection?”

[That’s difficult without the owner’s permission, frog.]

“I think it would be difficult for your owner to find out that you treated us as collectibles.”

[That’s…]

The frog monster broke out in sweat.

The owner of a constellation is an absolute being.

No matter how much he was a relative of the Constellation, it could be a big problem for him to be rude to the owner of another constellation.

Your responsibilities as a manager.

responsibility for mistakes.

which one to prioritize.

The frog monster, who was worried about rolling his eyes, finally raised one hand

[…are you just watching for a while?]

Ugh.

right after that.

A change has happened.

The frog monster and the space twisted around them, and the surrounding scenery began to change.

Yuna-kyung, who looked at the monster frog groaning at Limon with pitiful eyes, widened her eyes at the sight.

[Team leader, this is…!]

“…Yes, I know that too.”

Limon’s face hardened.

The fact that he had already guessed from the time he appeared in front of him without a sign was now clear.

This frog monster is absolutely self-sufficient.

It is also a monster with power comparable to incarnations that can manipulate space and change the world with only one’s own will.

‘It’s not even a constellation, it’s just that even its relatives are like this.’

Indeed, how many relatives of the same Constellation as this frog monster, and whether they all have this much power?

And what should I do here to break the dungeon gate?

Above all, what to do with those who are called collectibles?

Limon scrambled furiously to find a solution to his many problems.

but right after that.

The distorted space is restored.

The moment I saw the ‘collectibles’ that appeared.

Limon forgot all his worries and Yuna-kyung froze.
