Solo Swordmaster

Chapter 428

#428. right.

Boom Kurung! Kwakwawang!

Every time the shadow wriggles, the pillars of darkness soaring into the sky shake and the sky brightens and darkens repeatedly.

As he slashed the shadow with his sword, Limon murmured quietly.

“I did think it was odd.”

Awesome!

Revolution Day.

If the government hadn’t run away.

If only it had clashed with the Revolutionary Army.

if you didn’t step out

The revolution would have failed and the revolutionary army would have been completely captured.

However, no matter how much cooperation was promised, how could Sergei, who had never met himself, be able to launch a revolution without hesitation?

Limon was inwardly suspicious.

But now I knew.

After all, he was nothing but insurance.

It was not possible to use it because of the risk, but because Sergei had a trump card.

about 70 years ago.

The catastrophe that devastated Europe.

Of course, he also defeated the Blue Dragon Princess of the time, who was protecting the British Empire.

The only being who drove the princess of the Seven Dragons to death without being a sword master by making her sacrifice herself.

That is the worst card called the Demon God.

“It’s like a crazy bastard to have prepared something like this as a trump card.”

“I was very surprised, and I was also very surprised.”

“Did you not know that the head of the Revolutionary Army was a black magician and a dark wizard?”

Quaang!

After lightly dodging the shadows that surged like waves, like snowflakes, with a non-stop stream.

A silver-haired girl who shattered part of the shadow by exploding a stone thrown with a flying stream like a bomb.

Yekathrice shrugged and protested.

“How could I have known that it was me that even my brother didn’t know? Somehow, I wanted to run away strangely well.”

“That’s why black magicians are like that.”

Limon couldn’t help but click his tongue.

Even so, black magicians are more skilled than witches at hiding their identities and escaping.

Not to mention, it is very difficult to see through a dark wizard who is on par with the Archwitch unless he reveals himself.

That’s why the Dark Dawn Society, a society of black magic, once enjoyed a prosperous status comparable to the Seven Dragons.

Of course that is a thing of the past.

After Limon destroyed the Dark Dawn Society during the Demon God War.

All countries in the world and even the Seven Dragons, who ruled in the shadows, were extensively hunted, and the black magicians dried up.

Even black magicians who have barely survived have been nurtured and are only at the level of running an occult shop or curse agency.

The Demon God left that much fear in the world.

But now, 70 years later, the reappearance of the black wizard wasn’t enough, and even the demon was resurrected.

For Limon, who had been fighting the black magician for so long, it was as if he had seen the cockroaches he had eradicated reappear in their nests.

“Anyway, it’s clear that he made up his mind from the beginning.”

“You mean you were planning to summon a demon before you even met me?”

“Probably, the demon’s resurrection ritual was completed from the moment I proposed negotiations with you. I just woke him up at the right time.”

Chow!

Limon judged soberly.

Resurrecting a demon with just a few words of incantation is impossible even with a bunch of black wizards.

In the end, Sergei had been waiting for Yekathrice, trapping Moscow from the beginning.

Even if he was killed by her, the demon would be resurrected.

It wouldn’t have mattered if he refused to negotiate.

whether to save the country.

whether to make a revolution.

Yekathrice and the New Revolutionary Army would have ended up in Moscow.

He just needed an excuse to drop Limon, who could be the worst obstacle.

That’s why Yekathrice giggled.

Sergei’s concerns were correct, just by looking at the image of Limon splitting the entire shadow.

“Huh… Despite all the hard work, the finish is poor. Calling out demons while knowing that you have an older brother in this country.”

“….”

“By the way, oppa, why don’t you clean that up soon? I get tired of playing like this.”

“…”

“Brother?”

Yekathrice turned her head.

And silently cut the shadows.

Looking at Limon who didn’t answer anything, he made a strange expression.

“What’s wrong with your expression? Doesn’t it seem like it’s too late to stop the demon since you have such a serious face?”

“…Fortunately, it’s not too late.”

“The word fortunate sounds good, but why does it have ‘very’ added to it?”

It seems that he won’t be fooled by the pun.

Receive Catherine’s narrow-eyed gaze and be silent for a moment.

Limon slashed the shadow again and opened his mouth.

“Crazy princess, the devil is a god.”

“I know that too?”

“It means being in touch with the providence of the world.”

“…”

“It also means that if I kill the demon, the world’s providence will be shaken.”

It’s the same reason why he couldn’t easily slash Velos, the ghost of the Liberation Brigade, who had descended from his past incarnation and rampaged in Leviathan.

When you think of the world as a big house.

God is like the pillars of the house.

The god of fertility, the god of the furnace, the god of thieves, the god of art, etc.

No matter how insignificant a god may seem, they are beings that support providence in their respective domains.

That’s why a house without pillars collapses.

If God disappears, disaster will befall the world.

Of course, just as a house with hundreds of pillars does not immediately collapse if a few small pillars are missing, the aftermath varies depending on the deity.

If it’s a lower god, it’s the extent to which colds spread, crops don’t ripen well, or animals become violent.

On the other hand, the death of a high-ranking god with many followers causes disasters such as earthquakes, storms, and epidemics.

What if it was the demon god that destroyed Europe?

“At worst, half of the country will be engulfed in the scourge he left behind.”

“Isn’t that a bit exaggerated?”

“It is not an exaggeration. Because this is the prophecy of the foolish princess.”

“…Did Ainsha foretell the demon’s resurrection?”

“I didn’t exactly see the demon god’s resurrection. Instead, they said they saw a future in which half of the Russian people would die.”

Limon was sure.

What Ainsha and Sir predicted was the resurrection of the Demon God, not the suppression of Yekatrice or the war with the Revolutionary Army.

It was natural that the foreknowledge was unclear.

God who touches the providence of the world.

It is not easy to peep into the fate of a substitute, much less drink.

It was only possible because they were two world-class prophets that even a vague prediction of the aftermath was possible.

“Is there any way to stop it?”

“there is.”

Fortunately, Limon arrived on time.

whether it’s killing God.

Whether it’s catching a drinker.

Because he, the most expert in existence, had the best way to prevent that disaster.

“If we completely cut down his godhood and providence, we can minimize the aftermath.”

“…I don’t know much about magic, but isn’t that pretty crazy?”

“It’s not like I’m crazy. It would be suicidal if you made a small mistake, but that’s what you just have to do if you don’t make any mistakes.”

Limon said calmly.

In fact, this is the method I tried to use for Velos as well.

It was also the method used to kill the demon for the first time.

At that time, due to the reaction of the providence, even after cutting down the demon god, as a result, it came close to the plan of both sides.

But this time, as it was the second time, I was confident that I would at least do it more neatly than then.

That’s probably why he prophesied that only Limon could prevent this disaster.

“Then why not?”

“No matter how much we minimize the aftermath, it won’t go away completely.”

“You mean there will be damage in the end?”

“okay.”

Bellos was better.

Not only was Advent itself incomplete, but the aftermath was relatively small as he was an incarnation and had a low level of divinity.

As the place was Leviathan, there was no need to worry about tolerable damage.

However, demons are of a different class. During Velos, if it was enough to cut down just one lake, the Demon God had to be prepared to cut down the entire sea.

Even Limon could not completely eliminate the aftermath of that degree.

“How much?”

Limon was silent for a moment.

And while cutting the shadows, he quietly revealed the results of his predictions with his senses sharpened.

“A million if you’re lucky, about 10 million if you’re at worst.”

“okay? Then we will have to find another way.”

At least one city anyway.

At the worst, there could be casualties on the scale of a nation.

But the moment I heard the words that followed.

She couldn’t help but blink.

“I’m sorry, but I can’t afford that.”

“…What does that mean?”

“It means the situation will only get worse as time goes on.”

Limon said coldly.

I’m cutting the shadows so they don’t grow bigger, but in the end, this is just to buy time.

The Demon God was still gradually recovering his strength.

The pillar of darkness that reached the sky and the aura of the curse that was still spreading were proving that fact.

At this rate, it’s only a matter of time before the demon god takes off its cocoon.

“If he is completely resurrected, even if the providence is cut down, the whole of Moscow will be blown away.”

“I know you don’t have free time, but what do you mean?”

Limon keeps silent instead of answering.

Yekathrice erased her smile.

Then he tilted his head and asked.

“I’m asking just in case. Oppa, don’t you mean you’re going to slash the demon like this?”

To the question I asked, hoping for someone to deny it.

Limon replied calmly.

“right.”

…Even if 10 million people die, I will end the demon right here.

* * *

Immediate and.

no hesitation.

Hearing that answer that was so calm and even cold.

Catherine stopped swinging her dagger and looked at Limon.

“…In short, you mean sacrificing a cow for the sake of your family?”

“There is no such thing as sacrificing a cow for the sake of the generations. In the end, it’s just bullshit to avoid the responsibility by leaving the damage to others.”

In the first place, sacrifice must be voluntary.

At the point of coercion, it is only an offense, a crime, and a murder.

But…

“Anyway, oppa, you mean that whether 1 million people die or 10 million people die, you’ll be drinking right away, right?”

“Because it’s better than repeating the mistakes of the Demon God War.”

When the demon of the past descended.

Limon hesitated to cut.

Paris was the place where the demon appeared at the time.

This is because it was a place inevitably resulting in at least 1 million victims if the demon was slashed.

So, Limon ignored his instincts and bought time for the citizens to evacuate.

And after a delay of four days, he was able to defeat the demon with minimal damage at the cost of great injury by cutting down the demon with providence.

But that was a mistake.

While Limon runs out of time.

Because the Demon God who absorbed the fear and despair of the whole world gained the power of resurrection from the dead.

The result is a devastated Europe.

And over 100 million victims.

“I do not regret the decision at the time. Because that was the best thing I could do at that time.”

“This time, it’s the only way to save more people, so I’m just choosing this way?”

“okay.”

“Even if 10 million people die because of it?”

“I’d rather be a slayer than watch 200 million people die because I’m afraid of getting blood on my hands.”

“…”

Thoroughly reasonable.

Naturally, in a sense.

That’s why, for a moment, look at Limon, who speaks words that are difficult to take for granted with very calm eyes.

Yekathrice asked suddenly.

“Brother, do you know why I fell for you?”

“What nonsense are you talking about?”

Whether or not Limon frowned at the question that didn’t fit the situation.

Yekathrice didn’t care.

He just continued talking with a smile on his face.

“That’s because you look so much like me.”

The fact that I was already sure beyond my guess, and now I don’t even have to doubt it.

Limon’s secret that he was able to realize because he was the only princess of the silver dragon that others could not even notice, let alone understand.

“Even in that it is cursed by time.”

What he and Limon have in common.

she said happily.

“–In terms of being able to slaughter 1 million or 1 billion people in order not to go crazy.”
