Solo Swordmaster

Chapter 1009

#1009. Do not regret

* * *

Is the goal to create a world without absolute beings?

When the benevolent Guardian of Resurrection asked, Limon answered:

Only a fool on earth would believe that the world would become better if all mysteries were eliminated.

There is one reason why I was able to say that.

Because I’ve already seen it.

The actions of a man who actually tried to create a world without mystery.

“Do you really think the world would become better if all mysteries disappeared?”

Mysteries are as dangerous as they are useful.

Limon knew better than anyone else.

In fact, he has seen and experienced countless disasters caused by those who abused mysticism and confronted them.

It was thanks to that experience that he was able to perfect the sword that cuts down mysteries.

However, there was no attempt to actually annihilate all mysteries.

That’s stupid.

It was an atrocity no different from trying to destroy all cars in the world to prevent traffic accidents.

“No, I guess not.”

Of course, the Sword Demon knew that too.

There was no way he, who had taught science to Limon in the first place, would not have known that if the mystery disappeared, other problems would only arise.

Nevertheless, there is one reason why he tried to eliminate all mysteries.

“I just believe that the world needs to be put back on track.”

“Even if you have to make huge sacrifices to do it, and even if you do it, the world may become more terrible?”

“It could be better.”

“That is just speculation.”

“Even if it is a guess, it is better than leaving the world in a wrong state.”

More calmly.

So without any hesitation.

This world is distorted, so we must return it to its right state at any cost.

Limon gave a heavy rebuttal to the man who said that he was smarter than anyone he knew.

“Even if our world deviates from what it should be, it is not wrong. “It’s just different.”

“Maybe so.”

“….”

“At least that’s what you believe, so you’ve protected the world and ended up becoming a dragon.”

The Sword Demon knew.

It would have been better if I had been foolish.

Or if I was crazy about revenge.

If only it were a little weaker.

That he, like Limon, may have chosen to coexist even if he denies the mystery.

“But priest, I have no regrets.”

“….”

“As long as I live, I will definitely annihilate the dragon and eliminate all mysteries of the world.

nevertheless.

He never gave up.

Just as Limon chose to protect humanity, he chose to create a perfect world long ago.

Even if it means slaughtering most of humanity for that purpose.

It is not madness but devilishness.

In my right mind.

Absolutely calm.

However, it was a stubbornness that led to self-destruction as it proceeded with all its might toward the wrong path.

And even though he knew that fact, the Sword Demon looked directly at Limon with deeper and heavier eyes and declared.

“That’s what a Sword Master is.”

“…Yes, I know.”

Seeing a sword demon like that.

Limon made a bitter expression.

As a disciple of the Sword Emperor, he knew the essence of the Sword Master better than anyone else, and he knew that he could never persuade the Sword Demon.

That’s why he had to fight the Sword Demon…

“So, priest, don’t regret cutting me down either.”

“….”

“If you decide to become the dragon king, rule thoroughly and don’t let anyone in the world look down on you.”

slowly.

Put one hand up.

He scanned Limon’s face.

In the past, you could cut down as much as you wanted.

Nevertheless, he was unable to cut it in the end, and instead, he thought as he ran his fingers over the shallow but clear scar left around the priest’s eye.

Could this be the regret he left behind?

Or maybe it was his delusion.

Or maybe it’s both.

But it didn’t really matter anymore.

Back then and now, it was Limon who ultimately won and survived, and that was enough for the swordsman.

“And tell those fools who called me from the underworld without even knowing the subject.”

Therefore, it is the best sword in the entire world.

Also, as the death penalty of the world’s greatest sword.

Above all, as a sword master.

With a cold smile.

Geomma said.

“?Who did they dare touch?”

Passyuk.

“….”

Just like that….

That’s the last word.

Limon fell into silence as he looked at the empty space where the Sword Demon had turned into ashes and scattered.

Among the many enemies he fought throughout his life, he was the most formidable and powerful, and an absolute man who caused massacres for his beliefs.

He was definitely not a good person.

But…

“Rest in peace, death penalty.”

If they truly wanted to eliminate the mysteries of the world, why did they keep the biggest obstacle alive again and again?

Always smile at yourself.

He gave everything generously.

Also, he was a brother-in-law who loved his teacher more than anyone else.

In the end, even though he was killed twice, he was a benefactor who comforted the foolish priest until the end and left him with necessary advice and advice.

But in the end, he was a man who could not give up his affections and regrets.

Limon quietly closed his eyes, saying goodbye to his brother-in-law who had helped him become who he is today.

Rumbling.

The sky is falling apart.

The ground is cracking.

There was a being struggling to move in that cruel world.

‘It was a misjudgment.’

Torn wings.

Weirdly twisted arms.

Light powder that flows instead of blood, etc.

There was Inyoung, who was moving with difficulty, looking like a complete mess.

If it were an ordinary creature, it would have collapsed long ago.

If I had not abandoned my body long ago and gained immortality… No, if I hadn’t reached the top, I would have already died.

Like other constellations that exploded one after another even though they were in a state where they could fully use the power of the stars.

‘I never thought it would be this absurd.’

When all mysteries were sealed, I was able to accept it even though I felt resentful and resentful.

However, many of the constellations died like bugs not because they were directly attacked, but because they were just caught up in the aftermath of the battle. This

was even more difficult to believe,

no matter how long it had been for a constellation… or rather, it was a constellation that had reigned as a transcendent figure for a long time.

‘The Sword Master is not an opponent we can handle.’

So I had no choice but to admit it.

Even though I made every effort to do so.

Also, I was still underestimating the Sword Master.

It was also impossible to stop Limon with their own strength in the first place.

‘…I’m sorry.’

Since most of the constellations have been annihilated anyway, there is no way to defeat Limon here.

And he wasn’t the only one who realized that fact.

‘I have no choice but to do this in the end.’

Passs.

I lament that fact.

Inyoung quietly closed her eyes and disappeared on the spot as if she was melting into starlight.

Black Dragon Palace.

A fortress built over generations by the Black Dragon Clan, who are the most skilled in engine formation in the Seven Dragons.

In the Age of Heroes, other sword masters and even Limon avoided directly attacking the Black Dragon Palace.

Its sturdiness is truly an iron wall.

Even compared to other headquarters of the Seven Dragons, which were filled with various defense methods, it was of a different level.

That was why.

After the monster wave starts.

The reason why the Black Dragon Palace was able to maintain stability and tranquility even though all other places were in crisis.

Although there was some confusion after the defense line collapsed, that was simply the aftermath of a sudden influx of refugees.

There was no crisis that threatened to collapse the Black Dragon Palace.

Of course, if Absolute class monsters had flocked in, the Black Dragon Palace would not have been able to withstand it…

but fortunately, the Black Dragon Palace had elements that were not found in other princesses’ territories.

Burbubbubbuk!

Absolute class monsters too.

There are also endless monsters.

The butterfly element that flutters in as soon as it approaches the area and blows your head off in an instant.

And the person who is creating that element.

A black-haired girl who was sitting on the highest watchtower in the Black Dragon Palace, sending countless butterflies flying from her shadowy wings.

Li Qingyu was calmly looking into space.

Compared to the other princesses who were all struggling for their lives, she looked surprisingly comfortable.

But it was also natural.

After absorbing the reincarnation monarch, her power surpasses that of Charlotte, who was already the strongest princess, and is comparable to that of the Sword Master.

Unlike the intangible Heroic Spirits of the Sword Master, he is clearly a living being.

It is not difficult to protect your territory no matter how many monsters flock to it.

But at this moment.

Li Qingyu’s complexion was not good.

In other words, the fact that it was enough to protect the Black Dragon Palace meant that she had no time to extend her hands to other territories.

Even with the help of the spirits who returned from the underworld, how long will everyone be able to endure?

And how long the gates of Valhalla will remain open.

Because she had to take everything into consideration, she couldn’t possibly feel at ease.

“…!”

Then, in a moment.

Li Qingyu suddenly turned his head.

Then I looked across the sky and sighed softly.

“Is it finally?”

She was feeling it.

The dungeon, which had been persistently spewing out monsters, suddenly collapsed one after another as if something had swept it away.

There were still a few dungeons left, but at this rate, it would only be a matter of time before all the remaining dungeons disappeared.

Therefore, when she was finally relieved, she smiled faintly as she remembered her lover who had accomplished this.

Rumbling!

“…!”

Li Qingyu’s face hardened.

A moment when you suddenly feel like the whole world is shaking.

It was not just because the eerie starlight rising from the few remaining dungeons pierced the sky colored with the light of dawn.

It was because of the energy I felt from the starlight.

It is as powerful and terrifying as all the monsters that have come out of the dungeon so far combined.

After absorbing the power of the reincarnated monarch, he became silent as the energy that shook the entire world gave him chills.

Li Qingyu opened his mouth.

“Chao.”

“Yes princess.”

“Can you protect the Black Dragon Palace while I am away?”

Slurping.

As soon as she called, a cross-dressing woman in casual clothes appeared from behind, kneeling.

Wei Ling paused.

No matter how impregnable the Black Dragon Palace was, it was because of Li Qingyu that it was able to survive this tribulation that swept the world.

If she is away, I wonder how many minutes, let alone hours, I will be able to endure.

Because I couldn’t be sure.

Especially when unusual signs began to appear.

“I will protect you with my life.”

Nevertheless, Wei Ling did not say anything like impossible.

Whatever happens.

He just bowed his head deeply as if he would just do what she wanted.

“Please do me a favor.”

Just like that…

Li Qingyu disappeared as if melting into the shadows, leaving behind his own territory that he had to protect.

To do what you need to do and what only you can do before it’s too late.
