Solo Swordmaster

Chapter 281

Episode #281. kill them all

* * *

Gula’s [Behemoth] is definitely a powerful technique.

By fusing the elements of monsters, you can create the strongest body with all the powers of various bosses.

But Diego thought.

Even though ?Behemoth? is powerful, its efficiency is poor.

In the first place, being a giant monster is only advantageous for one-on-one battles or survival-oriented fights.

A few strong enemies or one-on-one fights, etc., because their huge bodies get in the way, making it difficult to use 100% of the monster’s characteristics.

In the first place, that itself was only possible for Gula who possessed [Satiation Evolution].

That’s why Diego devised it.

A way to surpass ?Behemoth?.

After continued research and testing.

he finally completed it.

A secret technique that allows him to gain more powerful power without the factor of a monster by using his unique skill ?The King of Bugs?.

and at this moment.

The secret art that Diego invented was attracting all the insects in the jungle like a black hole.

Boo woo woo!

butterfly. fly. mosquito. spider. ant. Message. Grasshopper. scarab. helminth. dragonfly. mantis. punishment. ladybug. beetle. bug. bug. Insects…

hundreds of millions.

Or is it billions?

Dark clouds cover the night sky.

Covering the earth with their bodies.

The appearance of immeasurably enormous insects gathering like a tidal wave from all directions is a fear.

It was a sight that would inevitably feel terrifying for a creature.

But is it fortunate

or bad luck

The sight did not last long.

It was because Diego’s armor instantly sucked in so many insects.

And as much as he absorbed the bug, Diego’s armor quickly mutated.

The armor gets tougher.

Muscle fibers are mixed in the joints.

Bug wings grow on its back.

when all the changes are over.

The bugs that filled the world a little while ago were nowhere to be found anymore.

Instead, only the strange armor mixed with mechanical parts and biofibres engraved with insect fragments was sitting in place.

“Hmm.”

It’s time to squeeze and open your hand.

Diego suddenly clenched his fist and struck the bloody giant beside him.

Whoops!

The results were dire.

It wasn’t even that I applied proper strength, it was a light fist like a jab.

The bloody giant’s upper body, which had ended up being bloody even with Maia’s blow, was blown away as if it were completely crushed.

It was a tremendous force that would astonish even the most physically strong of the monarchs, Gula.

“Whoops, it’s beyond my expectations.”

?Beelzebub?.

A secret technique that becomes stronger by the number of insects absorbed by accepting the elements of insects instead of monsters.

It just didn’t grow unnecessarily.

Rather, thanks to that, I enjoy the more tightly condensed power.

Diego exclaimed with a firm and healthy voice instead of the sound of boiling phlegm until now.

he could say

I don’t know if it was before.

If he is now, he can overwhelm even Gula.

When he relied only on the Holy Spirit and when the power of the Seven Arcs was added to it.

Because the constraints released by ?Advent of the Constellation? are on a different level.

“What a young man. Aren’t you starting to regret turning our Liberation Brigade into an enemy?”

About a thousand giants no less than high-level players.

Four executives who have exceeded the limit of level 100 by descending constellations.

On top of that, he now has a power that surpasses even a monarch.

Even if they fought against the teenage guilds head-on, they could overwhelm them, revealing their mighty majesty.

Diego said generously.

“If I regret it, I will kneel down and ask for forgiveness. If you dedicate the Seven Arks and return to the Liberation Brigade, I will use you as a precious gift.”

he thought

He himself is very merciful.

However, if I could retrieve one more Seven Arcs, I could have been generous with this level.

Of course, you need to put a bug in his head and make him a puppet that only listens to his commands.

I won’t die though.

If Limon was sane, he would immediately fall to his knees and bow his head.

It was because he deliberately showed off his power like this to show off.

“so.”

so the next moment.

Diego couldn’t help but put on a puzzled expression.

“Is it over now?”

“…what did you say?”

“I’m just asking if this is all.”

Even if he was a monarch, he showed great power enough to make him feel fear.

fear too.

agitation too.

without tension.

It’s like an audience asking the circus leader if there’s anything more to see after showing him a circus show.

Or like a janitor watching a friendly passer-by who lays out the trash to make it easier to clean.

Embarrassed by Limon’s attitude, Diego let out a low laugh.

“Whoopoohoo, you don’t have to pretend to be strong. I feel your fear…”

“What is my fear?”

Using the unique sense of insects to detect pheromones.

Diego, who tried to feel Limon’s fear, blurted out his words.

“…you won’t lose.”

That calm face is rather cold, hard, and calm enough to make you feel emotional.

The chilling sensation as if he was touching something non-living with his antennae confused him.

“What are you doing?”

How can you not even be excited about this?

Don’t you know the fear of death?

Is it right to be human?

Limon did not dare to accept the question, which contained many questions.

I just calmly talked to Maia who was holding me.

“It looks like this is everything.”

“It is imaginable that a criminal organization like the Heung Liberation Brigade prepared this much.”

“Wouldn’t it be worth giving an effort award?”

“Don’t use the word ‘effort’ carelessly. It’s unpleasant to call such a trivial thing an effort in itself.”

“I’m sorry for this.”

Limon smiled.

Maia said in a sharp tone.

The two, who had a conversation without any tension, shared their opinions as they were.

“First of all, I want to take the owner to a safe place, but the situation is not going well. In that sense, I am telling you…”

“I am your master, not your burden.”

Even though she was supposed to be protected by him, she never became a burden.

Maia cut it off.

Then he looked straight up at Limon, who was hugging him, and continued.

“If you are in trouble, lend me one arm. At least it won’t get in the way.”

Was it because it was so unexpected?

Limon, who had passed the Descent of the Constellation without hesitation, also put on a puzzled expression at her words.

“Are you really okay?”

“Who do you think I am?”

Sharp and cold as usual.

Take a moment to look at Maia as she laughs.

Limon finally nodded with a sigh.

“As a slave, I would like to actively dissuade you… but if that’s what the master wants, I can’t help it.”

“Did you think there would be a choice on the subject of slavery?”

“Then I ask in advance like a slave. How would you like to punish them?”

Hearing that question, Maia slowly turned her head.

And the culprit who dared to use Gula to trap himself and endanger the clan.

He looked back at Diego and other officers of the Liberation Brigade and over a thousand giants with gloomy eyes and spoke in a cold voice.

“Kill them all.”

“It’s only if it’s a name.”

“What nonsense…!”

Eventually, Diego let out a shout.

It was only when he was under Gula that he was able to laugh at his ignorance of being used without knowing his identity.

However, it was not enough to reveal his true identity, so even though he was showing off his power, this attitude of not even pretending to be himself.

As a person who wore the protection of a great star, he could no longer watch it.

But he couldn’t finish talking.

Limon was already starting to move when Diego opened his mouth to shout.

One step while holding Maia.

Taking a step through the gap of carelessness.

One step lightly stretched out one arm.

Wood deok!

“…!”

That moment.

Diego and the three senior officers of the Liberation Brigade couldn’t help but open their eyes.

It wasn’t just because Limon suddenly appeared behind him.

It was because of the man in the black iron mask who had his neck twisted in his hand before he knew it and his tongue was sticking out.

‘how…!’

they were dismayed

Before even blinking an eye.

while they didn’t realize it.

I couldn’t believe that a colleague who had gained power comparable to a level 100 lord had died a violent death.

But even in the confusion, Diego reflexively shouted out.

“—Kill it!”

Although the officers of the Liberation Brigade are superior in terms of ability.

The first to attack Limon were the giants surrounding him.

It was an immediate reaction that was possible because the mental shock was small as much as the reason was paralyzed by ambrosia.

But the results were disastrous.

Bubbubbubbuck!

Gouge your eyes out with your fingers.

Break the knee with a kick.

Crush your groin with your elbow.

It is rather crushing than massacre.

Not only normal giants, but also bloody giants comparable to large-supply players.

It was like a human grinder that grinds anything that approaches in an instant.

‘What is that…!’

Diego was stunned.

When the Green Dragon Clan, who had fallen into a trap, retreated.

He was the one who watched Limon take the lead in opening the way.

That’s why he knew that he was an opponent who couldn’t be vigilant and was wary.

But there was also a heart that looked down on me.

The skill at fooling the Forest Guild members was amazing, but that was entirely dependent on superior physical abilities.

At the time, Limon’s punching itself seemed nothing but a dog fight.

But at this moment.

Diego was realizing for the first time just how terrifying dogfighting could be.

The fighting method itself was the same as when I saw it before.

Fists stretched randomly.

A kick that seems to be swinging roughly.

Compared to the disciplined movements of the masters of the Seven Dragons or the flashy movements of martial arts players, the gestures were too rough and moderate.

One thing has changed.

To aim for vital points without hesitation.

However, that small difference made Limon’s fighting method terrifyingly lethal.

To the point where more than a hundred giants had been turned into chunks of meat before they could even slowly count twenty at the very least.

Even more frightening was that Limon was still holding Maia with one arm.

That meant he was causing this terrifying cataclysm with only one hand.

At this rate, the giants might be annihilated within a few minutes.

Then what next?

Whose turn will it be?

“It’s a princess, aim for a princess!”

In an instinctive sense of danger, Diego changed the direction of his target.

I believe that even Limon, who is grinding everything like a grinder, will reveal his gaps to protect Maia.

but right after that.

He realized his mistake.

Because Limon didn’t bother to protect Maia.

She was only engrossed in killing the giants rushing at her from the right, slightly loosening her left arm that was supporting her.

Actually, that was enough.

Wow!

“…!”

Wrap your arms around Limon’s neck.

Maia was cradled in his left arm.

Not enough for her to smash the giant who charged from the left with her outstretched legs as she spun in Limon’s arms.

“If you’re not feeling well, don’t overdo it.”

“Don’t you know that moderate exercise is helpful for Heung patients?”

Limon, who fights with only his right hand, crushes giants like a toy.

Maia blows away giants like paper while holding him in his arms.

In terms of physical strength alone, the strongest swordsman and the best guru who can compete for 12th place in the world.

Diego couldn’t help but be stunned as he watched the giants being swept away in seconds by the crushing storm created by the two men and women.

There is a common misconception.

A swordsman is powerless without a sword.

In fact, there are many cases where it is difficult to win even one or two masters of kendo with a stick.

But that’s the present age.

In other words, it’s just a story for those who learned swordsmanship as part of sports or as a skill.

For those who learned actual swordsmanship, the case was different.

Unlike matches in equal conditions, in the battlefield, you have to face all kinds of weapons such as bows, axes, and spears.

Whether it’s one-on-one fighting.

Suddenly, the sword bent or broke, and so on, happened countless times.

That’s why a swordsman who survives a real battle has no choice but to become proficient in all sorts of improvisations.

Grab the opponent’s weapon with your hand and counterattack in the gap.

Or kick with a sword as bait.

Sprinkle the soil of the ground with a sword.

Or throw a broken sword at all.

Pretending to look elsewhere, surprise attack, etc.

In sports, it was the existence of a swordsman on the battlefield to use unimaginable means as a basis.

In fact, in actual swordsmanship books of the distant past, there are surprisingly many records of male and female that will surely die if they do not know bare-handed techniques or countermeasures.

In real life, the important thing is to win, not to be fair.

One important thing.

The Sword Emperor was also such a swordsman.

It is also the best practical swordsman who waged war against the seven dragons even before becoming a sword master.

At that time, the Sword Emperor had no choice but to become proficient in such fights and improvisation in order to survive from the masters of the Seven Dragons.

Even after becoming a sword master, it was the same.

It was because the seven dragons were not easy opponents enough to win while playing fair knights.

And Limon was the last disciple of the sword system.

In other words, it means that he is the one who learned the best martial arts as well as the best swordsmanship of the era.

Improvisation can become a skill if you keep using it.

Having gone through all sorts of fierce battles to protect the world, Limon’s fighting has reached its peak.

It’s already a martial art.

It was a killing technique that used the whole body as a weapon to crush the enemy, which developed in the opposite direction to the Kwonjutsu of the Seven Dragons, which systematically deals with psionics.

and at this moment.

Limon was showing off the extreme of the fight without hesitation.

Pooh!

…while dealing with the combined efforts of Diego, the three officers of the Liberation Brigade, and hundreds of giants with his bare hands.
