Solo Swordmaster

Chapter 460

#460. A little bit hard.

* * *

Long.

heavy.

at the end of a long silence.

What finally came out was a muffled voice.

[I have a question for you.]

The moment I heard that.

Maia narrowed her eyes.

Then, she opened her mouth while looking at Hasnetty on the other side of the video with her beautiful and gloomy green eyes.

“Hasnetty, I am not your teacher.”

[…]

“Likewise, I am neither a vassal nor a prisoner.”

[…]

“But that’s what you say after you contacted me and ruined my schedule. It’s ridiculous.”

duty to teach.

Fear of her too.

Loyalty to follow too.

He said that he had no reason to answer Hasneti’s questions, and that he could cut off communication right now.

The green princess coldly points out.

“But it is good.”

It seems ridiculous to take it seriously.

buried deep in the throne.

Maia said sarcastically.

“I will listen to what you are trying to ask, thinking of your passion for contacting me at the cost of shame.”

Whether or not to answer is up to you, so if you want to hear a straight answer, convince yourself.

At the end of silently looking at Maia who speaks pessimistically.

Hasneti asked quietly.

[What do you think of the situation in North America right now?]

Maybe because the question was a bit unexpected.

After wiggling your eyebrows.

Maia twitched her lips.

“Are you worried because Charlotte subdued the Liberation Brigade?”

[…]

“To be concerned about the situation where Charlotte can secure a stake after promising cooperation at best. The name alliance is ridiculous.”

Well, it wasn’t even a crowd.

The alliance between Charlotte and Hasneti Yekatriche over the stake in the Seven Dragons was precarious from the start.

It was a relationship that was determined to break down someday from the beginning.

It was impossible for them, as descendents of dragons, to share the treasure of the eighth dragon psionic amicably.

Of course, it would have been useful in that it could keep other competitors in check, but…

that was until one player got ahead.

Charlotte is on the verge of winning by destroying the base of the Liberation Brigade and defeating four ghosts.

He could have had other ulterior motives.

If so, I could guess why Hasneti contacted her.

“Would you like to ally with me?”

Existing alliances cannot be trusted.

Because Charlotte is something to be kept in check, and Yekathrice can’t do anything at any time.

It is also difficult to side with Li Qingyu.

If Limon takes her side, which is actively helping her, the winner will eventually be Li Ching-yu.

Rose is completely out of the question.

There was no way that she, who was strictly neutral with the Seven Dragons, would join hands with another princess now.

…although the last reason was different.

Anyway, judging from the elimination method, the only opponent Hasneti can form a new alliance with is Maia.

If she had walked her own path from the beginning, we might be able to hold her hand and keep Charlotte in check.

Above all, Maia had an advantage that other princesses did not have.

“Well, I am the only one who can intervene in the North American continent in this situation now that the Great Wall has been activated. I guess I had no choice.”

Maia was cynical.

The Golden Dragon clan that rules the North American continent.

A green dragon clan that rules the South American continent.

Compared to other princesses who are separated by a maritime unit, the distance between the two clans is close.

Even if there was no more exchange than necessary, they knew each other’s territories better than other clans.

Including things like back roads that can infiltrate the North American continent where the Great Wall has been developed.

“Forming an alliance with me and eradicating the remnants of the Liberation Brigade to keep Charlotte in check… Not a bad way.”

It’s a Hasneti-like frontal breakthrough.

Maia evaluated cynically.

In the first place, trespassing on another clan’s territory at will is tantamount to a declaration of war for them.

How much more, to steal the prey of Charlotte, who is on the verge of Las Vegas.

It was something that could lead to war.

An idea only possible because Hasneti is not afraid of war.

Not a bad suggestion anyway.

Even for Maia, who decided to go her own way, it was a good way to temporarily cooperate with another princess to check Charlotte, who would be at the forefront.

“But I am not interested.”

nevertheless.

Maia immediately refused.

And it contained a cold sneer.

“Hasnetty North America is not an easy place.”

The fact that the Red Dragon Clan, whose home is Africa on the other side of the globe, doesn’t know, or even if they know, they only understand it with their heads.

But, of course, it is a neighbor to the North American continent.

The Green Dragon clan, which ruled the jungle under the protection of the ancient spirit of the Amazon, knew about it.

What kind of being is a spirit?

what they can do.

Why is North America called the Land of Spirits?

Above all, the Age of Bronze, when the seven dragons conquered the world.

What is the reason why even the mightiest golden dragon could not completely capture the North American continent?

“I won’t stop you if you intervene, but you’d better remember that the cost will be severe.”

Words that are premised on failure.

It was a sarcastic remark that could be felt as an insult to the descendants of dragons who were all proud of themselves.

Hasneti, however, was not outraged.

As always, he silently looked at Maia with cold, bloody eyes, and only opened his mouth in a muddy voice after a while.

[…Be mindful.]

Ji-ying.

That was it.

It seems that the virtual meeting system has been turned off.

As Hasneti’s hologram disappeared, Maia slowly raised her hand and took off her glasses.

“Coke! Cough Cough!”

It was right after that.

Maia bowed her head.

It’s been a while since I’ve been coughing hard enough to take my whole lung out.

Just stopped coughing.

when you look up again.

The Green Dragon Princess, who had resolutely ridiculed Hasneti not long ago, was not there.

There was only a poor sick man whose beautiful blue-white lips were stained with dark blood.

“Ha ha ha….”

Maybe it was the recoil of forcibly pressing the seizure.

Maia trembled at the remnants of pain several times more severe than usual.

It would have been much better if I had coughed it up earlier.

But I couldn’t.

Are you making an alliance with yourself?

To keep Charlotte in check?

It was funny.

Had he really been willing to ally himself, Hasneti wouldn’t have looked at him the way he was looking at prey.

‘To think he was blatantly trying to seduce me like this.’

If he had accepted Hasneti’s offer.

So, if you had infiltrated the North American continent to wipe out the remnants of the Liberation Brigade with her.

Hasneti must have tried to plunder Quetzalcoatl’s stake on the pretext of betraying her and invading another princess’s territory.

Maia was sure.

Because…

if it were you, you would have been.

‘Such a strategy doesn’t suit you.’

After the White Dragon Clan, the Red Dragon Clan is the worst at plotting.

Whether it was their way of breaking through head-on rather than playing a clumsy trick, but

they were sincere.

Was it a check on yourself?

It was unexpected in many ways that the Red Dragon Princess, Hasneti, did such a trick.

It was all the more so considering that the Red Dragon Clan was in a hectic situation as they were still trying to deal with chaotic Africa in the aftermath of the last war.

But Maia wasn’t surprised.

I just laughed coldly.

‘Hasnetty must have been pretty broken too.’

I knew that Limon had visited Africa, but I never thought he would change Hasneti like this in such a short time.

Should I admire or

lament?

It was unknown.

…Though she didn’t mean to do it after falling in love with her enemy in ten days.

I inadvertently reached out my hand to my head.

startled

Maia raised her hand.

And only after taking off the gloves still stained with blood, did she slowly touch the silver flower decoration in her hair.

“It’s not difficult to endure the pain until the research is over, but…”

Maybe it’s because the psionic dragon in the flower decoration is almost exhausted.

A body that gets worse day by day.

It didn’t matter though.

After all, this was no different from everyday life for her, who has suffered from her own poison all her life anyway.

But…

“Not being able to see you is harder than I thought.”

Reminds me of the cheeky yet nasty white-haired man.

The lone princess in the Seven Dragons closed her eyes with such a bitter self-talk.

* * *

Quaang!

[O fellow countrymen who have lost their will! Now it’s time to end your wanderings!]

It was a fierce battle.

Steel fists shattered the red carapace, and huge legs like pillars trampled on the head.

When the gale ejected from the palms bounces off the acid, the wind bullets fired from the muzzle on the shoulder pierce the scorpions at random.

A fight between a child and an adult wouldn’t be like this.

The ferocity of the steel giant running amok among the hordes of red scorpions the size of a house is truly overwhelming.

It really made me feel the difference in class.

Hard!

Have you decided that there is no way to win at this rate?

The group of red scorpions used their last resort.

They suddenly gathered together after blocking the approach of the Maha Train by spewing acid in all directions.

right after that.

change has begun.

Cheekyung Wei Ying Chick Geek!

The head of the hard carapace opens, and the tail of another scorpion is lodged inside.

The pincers extending back and forth are stored inside while being interlocked like a chain, and the carapace at the contacted area rises and sinks to become one.

when a short period of time has passed.

There were no more scorpion-covered scorpions left there.

Instead, a scorpion-headed giant with claws in both hands and a huge tail behind it was spewing out poisonous gas.

And so….

The second battle between Maha Train, the Spirit of Speed, and the Spirit of Poisonous Sand, has begun.

Kwang Kwaang! Kwakwawang!

[no use. My will to protect the passengers is immortal because it is indomitable, so those who have nothing to protect can’t defeat me!]

Maybe it’s thanks to the strengthening of the coalescence.

Unlike before, when they were unilaterally trampled on, the fallen spirits had a fairly plausible fight.

In particular, the combination of the poisonous sand bullets fired from the two tongs and the acidic liquid spouted from the tail was enough to melt thousands of troops.

But, like a speeding spirit, he couldn’t catch the Mach Train, which was running around at a terrifying speed.

A fallen spirit that pours out poison.

A Maha Train that runs like the wind.

What ended their fight was the transformation of Mahatrain’s arm.

Pajik Pajijik!

The moment when the right arm stretched out in the posture of stabbing the government rotates left and right, and the spark that occurred between them reached a critical point.

[Railgun punch fired—!]

Kwaaaang!!

Maha Train’s fist flew at the speed of lightning and pierced the corrupted spirit.

A scorpion giant collapsed with a hole in his chest.

After flying through the air ahead of the wreckage and retrieving the returned fist, Mahatrain raised his arms and shouted while holding a victory pose.

[Mission accomplished!]

Shortly thereafter.

After the Mach Train, which has returned from the steel giant to the form of a train, is connected to the tail compartment.

What rang out was the calm mechanical sound.

[In accordance with the business agreement, Maha Train, the spirit of speed, used some of the lines from ‘Spirit Sentai Train X Elemental’.] [

Today’s battle video can be played on the EK official website for only $1.99.]

[ You, too, take the spiritist test and become a friend of the spirit. The spirits of EK are always waiting for new friends.]

[This was the spirit squadron with you all. Please continue to use the Transcontinental Train.]

That was the end.

As if nothing had happened.

The transcontinental train ran along the rails as it was.

The wilderness has regained peace.

That was until, after a while, the fallen spirits, like a swarm of ants, dismantled the remains of the red scorpion and took them away.

clap clap clap!

[I never thought I would actually see the battle scenes of the Spirit Sentai! I’m really glad I came to America!]

“…Aren’t your wings hurting?”

[Of course it hurts!]

“If it hurts, stop clapping your hands. How many minutes have you been clapping?”

[That’s not polite!]

“Which town is it polite to clap your hands for a few minutes?”

[Courtesy of the Spirit Sentai Elemental series!]

“I’m trying to distinguish between fiction and reality, you bird head.”

Limon thought.

I’ve felt it ever since I imitated a magical girl, but from now on, I’ll have to limit this blue bird to watching TV.
