Solo Swordmaster

Chapter 166

Episode #166. It requires great determination.

* * *

Foresight is a wonderful power.

Just by knowing what will happen in the future, you can get an informational advantage that no one can imitate.

That’s why players all set the prophecy skill high and dream of having it.

However, those who can easily find out only the information they want using skills do not know.

The fear of foresight.

Reading the future means feeling the emotions you should feel in the future first.

Even on a date, he predicts that they will break up and cries.

Even at the funeral home, he smiles at his future nephew.

In the middle of a conversation, you get angry at the insults you will experience in the future.

In the eyes of others, he becomes a madman who cries, laughs, and runs amok at will.

That’s why people with precognition get used to controlling their emotions, and in the end, they don’t show their emotions even if their family members die in front of them.

Even that is not the end.

A mystery novel that already knows the ending is hard to read no matter how great a masterpiece it is.

Yeji, no matter how intense the emotions he felt, doesn’t feel much inspiration when he actually experiences them.

Because it happened once anyway.

The more foreknowledge is repeated, the more emotions wear out, and later on, even what emotions are at all becomes blurred.

I can’t even feel emotions.

Even if you feel it, don’t show it.

A life that only mimics emotions according to wisdom.

That was the ending that most of the White Dragon Clan met.

Even the White Dragon Princess was no exception.

Or rather, because she was the White Dragon Princess, who had the best foresight among the clan, the decline of her emotions was also done faster than anyone else.

So it was.

The fact that the White Dragon Princess is always short-lived.

This is also why the end is usually a suicide or a debilitating death.

Losing all emotions and knowing all the future, they always simply gave up their lives because they couldn’t even find the meaning of life.

“Tata has served three princesses.”

A clan that assisted three generations of princesses.

“And I saw the death of the two princesses.”

An aide who watched the death of the princess so close.

“And how they lost their lives.”

Even so, the woman who couldn’t understand the death.

Tata continued, recalling sadness and suffering, albeit faintly, on his dry face.

“Both of them lost their feelings at a very young age and gave up their lives after finding a suitable sire and marrying them out of a sense of duty.”

It is not just the ancestors and the ancestors.

This was the case with most of the White Dragon Princesses of all time.

“It’s just that I couldn’t find the person I was destined for.”

Only a few exceptions could have avoided that miserable fate.

Only the princess was able to withstand the wear and tear of her emotions by being connected with her destined partner.

Therefore, many white dragon princesses found their destiny, but few princesses actually achieved that goal.

For the White Dragon Princess, who knew all the future, it was that difficult to find a person of destiny who could make her emotions spring up.

In the end, successive White Dragon princesses had no choice but to fall into something to maintain their emotions even a little.

painting, sculpture, dance, literature, music, etc.

It is mainly for artistic hobbies that evoke impressions or stimulate emotions.

It was for this reason that the Baekryong Clan, even within the Seven Dragon Group, developed with a focus on art and cultural businesses.

But that is only a small consolation.

Even the princesses, no matter how much they loved art, eventually lost all their passion and met their fate.

“But the princess is different.”

Because he knew better than anyone else the fate of such past princesses, Tata looked at Ainsha and Limon with brightly shining eyes.

“The princess has already found her destined partner. A companion who can make you happy.”

“….”

“So don’t stop Tata. Tata doesn’t want to see the princess unhappy anymore.”

Unlike the princesses of the previous generation who couldn’t do anything, Ainsha still had a chance.

Fall in love like a normal girl.

Living a life of laughing, crying, and getting angry.

possibility of being happy.

And to give Ainsha that chance, he would not waste his own life.

Watching Tata declare without hesitation, Limon murmured inwardly.

‘Is this really what happened?’

The reason for the betrayal was unknown until the end.

Even though it was so absurd, Limon agreed rather than being surprised by it.

The Seven Dragons Society is a criminal organization before being a corporation, and fundamentally a religion.

Even in the days when they were called the Demonic Cult, it didn’t make sense that they, who were thoroughly united around the seven princesses, would betray on a massive scale like this.

There is only one case where that is possible.

Only when that betrayal is for the sake of the princess.

In that sense, Tata’s behavior was even true of the Seven Dragons.

“Ainsha, what are you going to do?”

So Limon shifted his attention from Tata to Ainsha.

Because I could see that even for her sake, Tata would never stop or give up.

The only thing left is Ainsha’s choice.

Now Ainsha had three options.

One is to accept the earnest request of the nanny who raised him and watch what she does.

The other…

”…don’t care why. Betrayal is betrayal. It must not be tolerated.”

As the head of the criminal organization Seven Dragons, do what you have to do based on duty, not emotion.

Whatever the intention, it was betrayal to plot and even attack without permission.

So, according to the rules of the Seven Dragons, I will punish you.

Speaking expressionlessly, Ainsha revealed her choice.

“Then kill me.”

* * *

“Princess, you have grown up so wonderfully. Tata is proud.”

Even after hearing that cold-blooded, even cruel, Tata was neither disappointed nor sad.

As if I knew that.

Or, as it should be.

He only smiled lightly and raised one hand.

“But even Tata cannot die gracefully.”

It was right after that.

From the ceiling where lights are installed to the back of the stage preparing for a broadcast in the corner of the audience.

It is said that about 20 monks dressed in white cloth embroidered with dragons appeared all over the filming site.

Shinryongdae (???).

The strongest armed force of the White Dragon clan, made up of master-class masters, was showing a solemn spirit under the direction of Tata.

“If you want to punish me, punish me. Instead, I will at least ruin this show.”

“It doesn’t matter. Tata kills anyway.”

Tata and Shinryongdae decided to risk death like a fanatic with a bomb.

Ainsha ignores everything like a mechanical doll and tries to execute the traitor Tata and the clan.

It was the moment when the psionics flowing from them intertwined in the air and the aftermath shook the set.

“This is why the Seven Dragons.”

thud.

Limon’s action of putting down the double bag on his back distracted them and subtly disturbed the psionics.

Limon caught everyone’s attention.

However, he ignored all those gazes and looked at Ainsha with sharp eyes.

“Is this your choice after all? Killing the nanny you said you absolutely wanted to save?”

“That’s right.”

“Is that so?”

It doesn’t even seem necessary to reconsider.

Seeing Ainsha respond bluntly, Limon sighed.

and said

“Then, do you want to go beyond me?”

“…?”

Is it because I heard something so unexpected?

It’s like you don’t know the meaning of the words.

To Ainsha, who was just blinking with an expressionless face, Limon cut it off.

“I’m thinking of changing the future even if I’m not a kid anymore. I will stop you from killing the nanny.”

“…I don’t know what that means. Confusion. It’s bewildering.”

Half of it was because I couldn’t foresee the future where Limon would act like this, and the other half was because I couldn’t understand what he was doing.

Ainsha muttered blankly.

Conversely, Tata smiled.

“Indeed, you are the daughter the princess has chosen. You show your perseverance by stopping even the princess for the sake of the princess, so you can rest assured now…”

“Don’t get me wrong.”

“Is it an illusion?”

“I said I would stop your princess, I didn’t say I wouldn’t stop you.”

“…”

“Can you explain it in an easy-to-understand way?”

Where did the smile from earlier go? Tata with a question mark on his face.

And to Ainsha, who was even more confused, Limon spoke lazily.

“Let’s all jump together.”

Ainsha killing Tata.

Tata and the White Dragon clan harming people and ruining the program.

He said he would never accept it, so he would destroy both of them together.

Tata, who only opened his mouth like a nutcracker while watching Limon speak confidently, asked after a while as if confirming.

“…Are you saying you’re going to deal with the princess and us all at once? Are you alone?”

“okay.”

Ainsha and Tata, who regained their senses at that absurd answer, opened their mouths without saying who came first.

“Crazy. I am not insane.”

“It seems that your father-in-law doesn’t know much about our Seven Dragons.”

“Why do you think I can’t?”

“Of course.”

“Of course.”

Tata and Ainsha respond right away, uncharacteristic of a relationship where they were talking about betrayal or execution a while ago.

It was natural.

The White Dragon Princess, one of the seven princesses of the Seven Dragons, that only a sword master could deal with.

The Shinryongdae, one of the seven armed forces created to stop the sword master who was allowed the name of the great ‘Dragon’.

Dealing with the two alone was something that even the absolute monarch of this era would have to put on a coffin.

In fact, even sword masters refrained from dealing with the princess and the Seven Dragons together after Sword Rang (??) Billy the Kid was in trouble.

There is only one exception.

Of all the sword masters, only the mad dog who faced the Seven Dragons most ferociously.

It was for this reason that Limon took out something from the double bag he had put down with a smile.

“okay? Then how about it?”

“What do you mean…?”

“…?”

The moment I was about to look at Limon with a questionable face, wondering if it was something out of the ordinary.

Tata inadvertently kept his mouth shut.

Ainsha caused a pupil earthquake.

It was because what Limon took out of the double bag was none other than a sword.

Of course, it’s just a sword.

Although it was old-fashioned like an antique and strangely tidy, in the end it was nothing more than a weapon.

Even so, they were shaken because it was so similar to a sword that everyone in the Seven Dragons knew.

slither.

Still, if that was the case, I would have been able to accept the situation.

Tata muttered, ‘It’s a very ominous imitation,’ and Ainsha actively agreed with it.

However, Limon’s hair, which lost its black color and turned white, and the scars that appeared around his eyes subtly changed his impression.

Above all, those cold golden eyes froze not just the two of them, but the entire Shinryongdae.

“You said that. It would take a lot of determination to interfere with me.”

I didn’t know because I couldn’t foresee it.

Even if I foresaw it, I would not have believed it.

Facing an unimaginable reality, there was only one thing Ainsha could do.

“…hiccup.”

All he could do was hiccup with an expressionless face at the sight of Limon Aspelder, who was his destined partner and the living disaster of the Seven Dragons.
