Solo Swordmaster

Chapter 585

#585. why, why, how

* * *

The Age of Bronze in the distant past.

The seven dragons were beings untouchable by mankind.

Even Avalon, the most powerful magic in the Silver Age created by the great witches, was destroyed by Jeong Cheong-ryong-deok.

The gods who ruled the world until then were eaten one by one, then made Tartarus and hid.

Even Plato, who was said to be the best messenger in history, was only able to obtain the autonomy of the Old Greek domain after negotiations.

Even the Fairy Queen, who endured until the end, had to hand over control of the North American continent to the Golden Dragon Lord while protecting the Fairy Kingdom.

Their power is absolute.

Even the absolutes of the previous era dared to give up on opposing it.

Then one day.

A great man appeared.

Revolt against the seven dragons.

A superman who mastered swordsmanship for the first time after an immeasurable struggle to the death and reached the level of a sword master.

And the Absolute One who finally ended the Age of Bronze by cutting down the seven dragons with his two disciples.

that’s the sword.

The Sword Master is down.

It was a person who was still passed down as a legend even after nearly a thousand years had passed.

However, despite its high reputation, no one knew where the tomb of the Sword Emperor was.

after the death of the sword.

This is because the two disciples buried their master’s remains in a place unknown to anyone.

And even the two of them had a feast with each other, so there was only one person left who knew the location of the tomb of the Sword Emperor.

The Seven Dragons Association named this place, which is now rare to be handed down even as a legend.

It’s called a sword gun.

“…Are you saying that the sword gun has a sixth, seven arcs?”

“To be precise, there is a high possibility that there will be a seal from Seven Arcs, but at least it will be as I expected.”

And now.

The last disciple of the Sword Emperor.

In other words, after listening to the confession of the only person who knew the location of the sword gun, he kept a long silence.

Li Qingyu opened his mouth with a trembling voice.

“…why?”

What was contained in it was not embarrassment or resentment at finally confessing the truth.

To put it bluntly, the opposite.

“Why are you trying to tell me that?”

“If it’s the reason, you already know.”

“So I am asking.”

The smile I always had.

A calming voice.

Even the deeply sunken eyes.

The black-haired girl, who had lost everything before she knew it, continued as if she was being squeezed.

“Swordsman, you shouldn’t talk to us about sword guns.”

over the past hundreds of years.

The Seven Dragons are looking for a sword gun.

Another reason Limon hid.

It wasn’t just because the sword gun was the grave of the sword master.

It was because only the Seven Dragons, who had been at odds with Limon for a long time, knew the secret of the sword gun.

The fact that the sword gun is a seal.

Also what is there.

That’s why Li Qingyu couldn’t accept the situation even more.

Even if he joined hands with the Seven Dragons. Rather, it was because he should never have revealed the secret of the sword gun.

Because…

“By the way, there’s a last resort you should use in case we betray you.”

Li Qingyu’s comments.

Limon did not deny it.

Because what she said was true.

No matter how much Limon is an absolute leader with a different level among sword masters, the Seven Dragons are also descendents of dragons.

It was a formidable enemy that had been unable to subjugate it even after fighting for hundreds of years and even launched a threatening counterattack on several occasions.

What if you were betrayed?

The results will be fatal.

Nevertheless, there is one reason why Limon was willing to form an alliance with the Seven Dragons and receive the princesses as his brides.

It was because even if the Seven Dragons rebelled against each other, he had a trump card capable of destroying the Seven Dragons in the worst case.

That

was where the sword gun Limon’s last resort was hidden.

In that sense, this moment.

Limon’s words that he would tell me the location of the sword gun were the same as giving up his own lifeline.

“You are right. Originally, I shouldn’t be talking to you about sword guns.”

“Then…”

“But I have to tell you now.”

“…why.”

“Because the seal on the sword gun can never be broken.”

Limon said calmly.

I had already noticed that the sword gun might have the seal of the sixth Seven Arcs.

The reason why I don’t even consider going to that place even in this situation where I’m in a state of intoxication while hiding that fact.

It was because the power hidden in the sword gun was too dangerous.

Liberation Brigade.

or world federation.

Seven Arksden.

To Limon, the sword gun’s seal was more threatening than that.

Even when he found out that all the sword masters had been resurrected, he hesitated to the extent that he didn’t break the seal on the sword gun.

Of course, if Limon dies or becomes a disabled person, no one knows the sword gun, and everything can be buried in secret.

But in the worst case scenario…

“Are you saying that the swordsman can unseal the sword gun by falling into the magic spell?”

“Because I don’t know what I will do if I go crazy.”

“…”

“So, in that case, you must keep the seal of the gun from me.”

Limon lamented briefly.

I’d rather be in danger of dying.

He would not have revealed the location of the sword gun no matter what.

However, the sword gun’s seal should never be broken with one’s own hands.

And above all…

“Even to kill me.”

“If you fall into the sycophancy… are you asking me to kill you?”

“okay.”

…if he goes crazy and becomes a threat to the world.

If there was absolutely no way to stop him, it was necessary to use the power of the sword.

already expected.

but didn’t want to hear it.

Hearing so many cruel things.

The frozen black-haired girl opened her mouth after a long time.

“how.”

It doesn’t sound like it at first.

In a voice more like moans than words.

“Can you trust me again?”

Black Dragon Princess.

Skilled in conspiracy and scheming.

That’s why she is a false princess who is not trusted by other princesses or even by her own family.

She asks why she can entrust her life beyond believing in herself.

Limon answered calmly.

“Because you are my bride.”

“…just for that reason?”

“What more reason do you need?”

If you couldn’t believe it, you wouldn’t have made her your bride.

It’s only natural to believe it if it’s your heart.

by speaking calmly.

And Limon, who proved that by actually risking his own life, let out a light sigh.

“In that sense, I should have told you this at least as early as you, whom I have chosen to marry.”

“…”

“The reason I couldn’t tell you was not because I didn’t trust you. It was because I lacked resolution.”

living a miserable life

He suffered many failures.

The disciple became the evil of mankind.

Abandoned from the country he kept.

Also, there were so many disappointments, mistakes, and blunders that I couldn’t count them all.

So it was only natural that Limon was reluctant to reveal the secret of the sword gun.

If the seal on the sword gun were to be broken, something truly irreversible would happen.

“But now I am determined.”

Even so, believe in yourself in the end.

To Limon who confessed the truth.

Li Qingyu asked.

“…What if I betray the Sword Master?”

“You’re not going to do that, are you?”

“…”

“So, it’s a princess.”

too simple.

That’s why, rather than a hundred reasons, words that pierce the heart.

And…

“If you want to take responsibility, be prepared to kill me.”

The most cruel words that tear the heart to shreds.

Squeeze your throbbing chest.

Li Qingyu closed his eyes.

when thinking soberly.

His decision is right.

What if Limon goes crazy because he can’t recover from the magic spell and even breaks the seal on the sword gun?

There is even a possibility of a disaster worse than the World Federation and the revived Sword Masters going wild together.

So, insurance against the worst was necessary.

either for the world

Whether it’s for the Seven Dragons.

Either for Limon himself.

Because I knew that fact all too well.

Li Qingyu said.

“Sorry Swordsman, but I can’t.”

On the subject of taking responsibility.

She was not ignorant of how shameless it was to say that she would never do such a thing now.

However, Li Qingyu’s answer was fixed.

“You can consider me irresponsible.”

“Even if you disqualify yourself as a bride, I will accept it.”

“But I can never do anything like killing a swordsman.”

Quietly.

but firmly.

It’s too deep and dull.

Looking straight at Limon with bottomless black eyes.

“If you go crazy, Swordsman, I will go crazy too, and if you have to die, I will die first.”

“…I see.”

“yes.”

If he destroys the world, he will aid it with all his scheming and intrigue.

If anyone tried to kill him, they would have to step over his own corpse.

Li Qingyu said with a smile.

Limon was neither surprised nor taken aback when she heard something uncharacteristic of her, who always made rational decisions.

I just quietly agreed.

It wasn’t because he knew that his request was unreasonable in the first place.

Li Qingyu, who said that the other princesses would not be able to keep calm if they found out about her condition.

It was because he too felt that it was a story that even included herself.

So he stretched out his hand.

“Okay then that’s it.”

startled

Li Qingyu shuddered.

As if hesitating to contact itself.

But in the end, he gently stroked Li Qingyu’s head, who couldn’t resist his touch.

He comforts the bride who was hurt by her request.

Limon murmured quietly.

“I didn’t want to do something like this if possible, but… I can’t help it.”

I’d say I’m lucky

Or should I say bad luck?

In addition to Li Ching-yu, Limon had one more request.

Not only did she already know the situation, but unlike Li Qingyu, the princess treated Limon with a pessimistic attitude as usual.

“…so.”

so after a while

The opponent called by Limon.

Maia, a slender beauty with green hair, raised her eyebrows.

“I will tell you the location of the sword gun, so you want to ask me to kill you, swordsman, in case?”

“As you say, doctor.”

“….”

Limon sitting comfortably in the middle of a flower garden.

Then, take a moment to slowly look back at Li Qingyu, who was quietly standing behind him.

Maia asked again.

“Do you know that I owe you?”

“know. I still haven’t repaid you for helping me this time, as well as treating the boss and me the other day.”

“You mean you’re still asking me for this?”

“So, please.”

Whether it’s to collect back debt.

Or to extend the lifespan that has reached its limit.

Maia has a realistic reason to save Limon more than any other princess of the Seven Dragons, but she is a difficult opponent to betray him.

In addition, if Limon fell into the magic spell anyway, Maia would have no choice but to die.

So, can you really risk your life and kill yourself?

a little bit awkward

while scratching your cheek.

Nevertheless, after watching Limon speak with a grin, he remained silent for a long time.

Maia asked quietly.

“…Swordsmith, what the hell are you a bastard?”

Be sure to pay for your treatment in advance.

The result of disobeying the iron rule passed down from generation to generation and providing medical treatment for trauma.

Suddenly, Maia, who was asked by the patient to die with her, had no choice but to look at Limon as if she were looking at trash.
