Solo Swordmaster

Chapter 517

#517 It won’t be easy.

* * *

‘Ah, I’m dying of nervousness.’

Leviathan’s Underground Dragon Palace.

There, Yuna-kyung was restless.

It was a look that could be mistaken for a pet that is anxious to be separated from its owner.

Well, it wasn’t wrong.

The reason Yuna-kyung is doing this is because Limon went to the Sword Castle alone after all.

‘I should have just forced myself to follow!’

if it was another time.

I would have waited comfortably.

The Limon she knew was a great man who, even if thrown into hell, would come back calmly after slashing down gods and demons.

But this time, I couldn’t calm my anxiety.

Having seen the fight with the Sword King, he knew that a duel with the same sword master would cost even Limon his life.

It’s fortunate that it ends in a duel, as Limon expected.

What if this is a trap?

What if there are other sword masters?

Even as Yuna-kyung, who is always optimistic, she couldn’t help but feel nervous.

‘Huh, let’s calm down.’

But that’s for a while.

Yuna-kyung calmed down.

Then, he rolled his eyes and murmured inwardly.

‘…Because I don’t know what will happen if I become anxious.’

Self-defense as thin as a mesh.

Thin waist fastened with a belt.

Hair in a tight ponytail.

Even the belt slightly peeking out from the thigh.

The dark-haired girl with her eyes closed in a strangely decadent outfit looked as calm as usual.

But Yuna-kyung knew.

Calm is only the appearance.

Now Li Qingyu would be more nervous than herself.

If it was really nothing, I wouldn’t have been holding my hand on my lap like that.

Even she’s better.

The tension emanating from the opposite side, including the thirty or so Mukryongs waiting behind Li Qingyu, was even greater than that.

As Yuna-kyung, she had no choice but to keep her composure.

‘Hmm, shall we make a joke?’

Again.

‘…I think I’ll die if I’m wrong.’

again and again

‘But I think I’ll choke to death if I stay like this.’

Would you risk your life to lighten the mood?

Or do you just put up with the frustration?

Yuna-kyung rolls her eyes and agonizes at the choice of either option.

When Shera, who was floating next to her, poked Yuna-kyung with her fingers and played.

Phaging.

The void is distorted.

A figure appeared as if rising.

[Team leader?!]

“…!”

Vivid white hair that cannot be recognized without knowing it.

However, Yuna-kyung gasped at the sight of Limon staggering with her whole body covered in blood and wounds, which was a rarity she had never seen before.

The moment Li Qingyu jumped up from his seat.

One hand stretched out first.

Supported Limon.

“Is the swordsman okay?”

“I’m just dizzy for a moment, so don’t worry, Count.”

Another princess here.

And the moment Limon appeared.

A blue-haired woman approaching one month beyond space.

Rose finally let out a sigh of relief when she heard his usual calm voice.

But that’s only for a moment.

She hardened her face.

“You are seriously injured.”

It’s not like it’s not, Limon’s appearance is blood itself.

From the face to the arms, neck and legs.

Due to dozens of large and small sword wounds all over his body, it was difficult to find a place that was not stained with blood.

However, Limon just laughed at that face.

“To be serious, this is rather light for the price of killing one sword master.”

“What do you mean…?”

“The swordsman is dead.”

“…!”

I was expecting.

However, at the answer she wasn’t sure about, Rose put on a look of relief and resentment.

When Lucas, Youin, and the Changryongdae and Mukryongdae, who were still in a tense atmosphere, managed to calm down the psionics.

Limon asked quietly.

“Did you guys really have a problem?”

“Considering that you haven’t had any contact with the other clans, it seems fortunate that it wasn’t a diversionary operation.”

the moment I heard that.

Rose raised her eyebrows.

And he looked at Li Qingyu with cold eyes that lacked the usual gentleness.

“Are you saying this is a good thing?”

“If the Sword Master got rid of one sword master to the extent of getting slightly injured, it would be something to be rather happy about.”

“Isn’t it because of Li Qingyu’s plan that the swordsman was injured like this!”

twirling

Li Qingyu even has a subtle smile even when he sees Limon covered in blood.

When Rose inadvertently raised her voice at the appearance that was so calm that it felt shameless.

A hand patted her back.

“I’m fine, calm down, Count. You know that this is the best result, right?”

“but…!”

“rose.”

A gentle touch on the back.

But beyond the deep silence, seeing the heavy golden eyes, Rose finally swallowed her words.

and close your eyes

After taking a short deep breath.

He politely bowed his head.

“…sorry.”

“I am not the one to apologize.”

“I’m sorry Li Qingyu. I was so excited.”

“No, it is true that the swordsman was injured because my plan was not good enough.”

“If that’s the case, I’m responsible too.”

Rose sincerely apologized.

It’s best to go only to Limon.

The same is true of accepting Li Qingyu’s proposal.

It was too shameless to even think of putting the blame on her now.

It was something she had to blame herself for not being able to make such an obvious decision because her head was completely blank after seeing him injured.

Anyway, that’s how Rose calms herself down.

When the Changryongdae and the Mokryongdae, who had raised their psionics behind the two princesses, finally relaxed.

What came out was a bewitching voice.

“So how was it, baby?”

Like watching a morning drama.

While watching them with an exciting face.

Sir, who had a sad expression as if the drama had been cut off because of the advertisement, asked casually.

“Did other sword masters intervene as expected?”

“The Geomrang and the Geomgwi did appear.”

“…But you didn’t call us?”

“They’re bugs and bastards, but they’re not the ones who would interfere in someone else’s duel. There’s no way the swordsman would have allowed that in the first place.”

“…”

“Don’t look at me like that, Count. If you had attacked me after killing the Sword Saint, I would have asked for help.”

It seems that the calmly true self from a while ago is a lie.

Looking at Rose with resentful eyes, Limon smiled.

In the first place, calling her, who had returned to the British Empire, along with the Changryongdae and keeping her waiting here is insurance in itself.

if the situation becomes critical.

Because it was to be used as a ally.

‘Anyway, Geomrang and that bastard are quick to notice.’

So Limon clicked his tongue.

Rose and Li Qingyu at the Seven Dragons.

In addition, Shir, the great witch, and Yuna-kyung + She-ra, who admitted that she was better than him in terms of combat power.

I wonder if it was when there were three sword masters, including the swordsman.

With only Vlad and Billy remaining, it wouldn’t have been impossible to deal with the three sword masters at this point if they had helped.

So it was.

Why did Li Qingyu sigh lightly?

“It’s a bit unfortunate.”

“What do you mean?”

“I wonder if we could have gotten better results if we all moved together as Rose suggested.”

“If I acted so late, I wouldn’t even have caught the Sword Saint.”

“Do you think so too?”

“okay.”

Limon cut it off.

He didn’t just call Rose.

I could only call Rose.

It was because I couldn’t afford to call all the princesses to contact the sword castle before the liberation brigade or other sword masters came.

Even if I could afford it, it was a problem.

Or if this is a double operation.

If the princesses left their headquarters prematurely, there was a risk of being robbed, just like in Las Vegas.

I couldn’t take that risk unless I knew where the two remaining Seven Arcs were.

If it weren’t for the mobility of being able to return to space at any time and the insurance of a fight in London, he would have thought about calling even Rose.

[Well, it’s fortunate that at least one sword master was reduced.]

“It’s also a great harvest to find out that there are only a few sword masters that the Liberation Brigade can move right now.”

“You’re lucky. If only one more sword master had appeared, I would have had to use the 36 system.”

Limon smiled bitterly.

The duel with the swordsman was pretty close even for him.

Even if only one of Billy or Vlad had joined, he would have been prepared to lose a limb.

[It would be fortunate if other sword masters could catch it this easily…]

“No, there won’t be any more luck like this.”

[yes? Why?]

“Because the remaining sword masters will be different from swordsmen.”

[…is it different?]

That’s why.

Why did Limon sigh?

Originally a samurai, Swordsman pursued honor.

In the first place, at the time of his resurrection, he had freed up all of his limits, so it wouldn’t have mattered if he died in a duel.

However, the case of other sword masters was different.

“If there was a sword in that position, even in the middle of the duel, the moment I revealed my gap, it would have attacked.”

Black assassin from the start.

He was the most dangerous sword master as he did not choose any means to win.

The problem was that other sword masters did the same.

Because…

“If I had called you, Geomlang and Geomgwi would have jumped right away.”

[…does it pop?]

“Yes. Conversely, if my injuries were just a little bit worse, the two of them wouldn’t have hesitated to join me together.”

That’s why Limon watched Billy and Vlad go back.

I don’t know if my body is intact.

Either call in support and fight together.

Or chasing after the fleeing.

If you fought or pursued them while being injured, the risk of being attacked in any way was too great.

Whether it was the sword that jumped into the main base of the Golden Dragon clan and was at a disadvantage.

Whether it’s a sword demon who has dabbled in black magic.

Because they were different from the swordsmen who pursued honor.

[What kind of sword master is that?!]

“Because I taught you that.”

[…]

And of the remaining 8 Sword Masters, all 7 except for Black are disciples of Limon.

In other words, they are the ones who have been taught to the core to win and think because pride does not feed them.

Looking at Limon, who speaks calmly.

Yuna-kyung muttered blankly.

[…That sounds like the team leader is the culprit behind all the disasters.

]

[Do you say that

you raised your character well after giving it that kind of education?!] Cool!”

[Team leader!?]

“Swordsmith!”

That moment.

Limon suddenly coughed up blood.

When Yuna-kyung is frightened by her appearance.

Rose, who was supporting him, hurriedly turned to Li Qingyu.

“Li Qingyu, I’m going to take the swordsman to Maia, so please take care of the next job.”

“Don’t worry, go ahead.”

[Wait, me too…!]

Pasing!

[Oops, Countess sister! What if you go alone? They say I can’t travel to the other side of the world!]

I was in such a hurry.

Because Rose took only Limon with her, leaving behind herself and the Changryongdae, Yuna-kyung stomped her feet.

Lucas prepares to return home with Changryongdae.

Until Youin helps it.

Li Qingyu, who was just quietly looking at the place where Rose and Limon were, suddenly lowered his head.

The moment Limon appeared.

involuntarily reached out to him.

But at the end of looking down at her hand, which she had no choice but to reap without saying because Rose supported Limon first.

In the end, Li Qingyu quietly turned away.

[huh? Come to think of it, I feel like I forgot something…]

After Li Qingyu left like that.

Yuna-gyeong, who was escaping from the Underground Dragon Palace following Shir in an unmanned vacuum cleaner, suddenly tilted her head.

Then, after making a worried expression for a while, he scratched his head with his wings.

[I don’t remember anything, so it’s probably not that important.]

“Look! Negotiation Let’s have diplomatic negotiations. As my president, I will grant you whatever conditions you can!”

“??????? (what are you saying)?”

“?ranai (I don’t know).”

“So, call an interpreter first, you savages!”
