Solo Swordmaster

Chapter 920

#920. It’s a judge’s version

* * *

Did it appear at some point?

Standing tall on top of Atlas.

A woman in a court dress with a gentle smile.

Looking at the divine lord Johanna, Li Qingyu hardened her face.

“…what happened to the sword demon?”

“How do you think it would have turned out?”

“…”

“Honestly, I was surprised. I didn’t know that even Vlad would fight so tenaciously with his messed up body.”

Vlad is the Sword Master who has fought the most fierce battles with the Seven Dragons along with Billy in the World Federation.

Besides, unlike Billy, who had other ulterior motives, he had passed the life and death crisis several times as he had actively fought to the death.

His body is already a mess.

Even the intact limbs are a miracle.

In fact, even everyday life was difficult.

Johanna, who had been in charge of his treatment as a healer since fighting together in the Amazon, was well aware of that fact.

That’s why even while fighting Vlad.

I didn’t think about defeat.

There was no way even a sword master could face him with a body that would be difficult to fight with all his might.

It’s just a matter of how quickly you can deal with Vlad and catch up with the runaway princesses.

Johanna thought.

With the power of Jinryongseongong and the Seven Arcs, she was entitled to think that way.

But…

“I never thought it would turn out like this.”

Tattered court uniform.

Blood running down your arm.

Above all, to the hole in the shoulder.

Johanna sighed lightly as she couldn’t be said to be fine even if she conceded a million times

.

To be seriously injured like this by Vlad, who is not normal.

No matter how much it was the result of rushing the game to chase after the princesses, it was something she had no choice but to reflect on.

It didn’t matter though.

Two things are important now.

“Anyway, the result was the same.”

In the end, it was she, not Vlad, who came here victorious after a fierce struggle.

And thanks to the sacrifice of one man, the princesses were able to catch up with them before they ran away.

So it was.

Why did Johanna roll her feet?

cooong!

Right after Atlas’ huge body was shaken.

The body made of dungeon alloy was crushed like a sheet of paper, revealing the cockpit.

As if he didn’t know why he died…

No, he didn’t even recognize his own death.

A large man sitting in the cockpit with his eyes wide open as if he would get up and fight again.

To be precise, Johanna made a pitiful expression as she looked at the corpse.

“…You’ve lost someone dear to you.”

Creation Lord Magician.

As Ruler’s first servant.

A man who greatly influenced the establishment of the Liberation Brigade.

Always serious, he was at least common sense among specters and players, who were the only ones.

Of course, apart from that personality…

No, rather, it lacked faith in the Constellation because it was such a personality.

Still, Johanna felt regret.

Apart from that belief, of course, the Creator Lord is a comrade who gave everything for the Constellation until the end.

As much as he reached level 100, he was a vessel of salvation with the possibility of becoming a new star himself one day.

It was heartbreaking to think of how many worlds he could have saved if he became a star.

Even more so because the monarch of the present era has almost been annihilated.

But she only regrets it.

I was not sad.

“May the soul of this good man who served the Lord rest in heaven.”

The belief that the Creator will surely go to heaven because he made such a heroic sacrifice for salvation.

And in another hope, it was the moment when she closed the eyes of the Creator and prayed briefly.

Caang!

slowly.

Johanna opened her eyes.

And while he was praying, a black-haired girl rose from behind him and tried to pierce his sharp tail like a blade.

Looking at Li Qingyu, he sighed softly.

“You are really cruel. You don’t even give me time to pray for the deceased.”

“If you put down the Seven Arcs and wait for us to get out of here, I will give you as much time as I can to pray.”

“I can’t do that.”

Papa baba babat!

Even in the midst of such a conversation, Li Qingyu and Johanna exchanged hands like lightning.

scratch it with your fingernails

banging with fist

hit it with the palm of your hand

Slash with the wings of shadow.

Such as cleverly dazzling with the tail.

As expected of the black dragon who completed the dragon’s true blood, her fists are dazzling.

It was a covert and deadly thing that would give away vital points intact while facing it head-on.

Even more so in that she exquisitely mixes and uses various traditional learnings more than any other princess.

Besides, Li Qingyu wasn’t the only one who rushed at Johanna.

Roaring!

Chew!

Hasneti, the Red Dragon Lord, who wields two hands that are blazing with flames like the sun, fiercely like a beast, and sometimes creates heat waves in the air.

Even Rose, the blue dragon who wields a sword that cuts through space, repeatedly appearing and disappearing whenever she moves her spread wings.

Artful.

destructive.

sharper than ever.

The joint performance of the three princesses, which is achieved without any difference in perspective through mental communication, is flawless.

It was enough to drive even a sword master into a corner.

Especially considering that even the sword emperor in the past was eventually defeated after a fight with three dragons in the Sword Dragon War.

Ugh!

“I’m sorry. You still haven’t realized that you can’t be my opponent.”

But unfortunately.

That perfect joint effort was null and void.

It was because the starlight barrier emitted by the Seven Arcs that had risen around Johanna blocked their attacks too lightly.

Hasneti’s flame, which evaporated even iron, and Rose’s sword, which cut through space, were useless.

It was unavoidable.

Right now, their limit is to prevent the exuding star power from resonating with the Seven Arcs.

It was because it was difficult to use even the season, let alone fully use the dragon’s power.

It was just that he risked his life and ran towards her in order to create an opening in Johanna somehow.

But…

Kwaaang!

“Kyaaak!”

“Chit!”

“—including running away from me.”

A running repairman who was asked to use his telepathy and tried to cut down the curtain of light blocking his retreat.

And Catherine, who clicks her tongue while moving to sneak out, and Ainsha, who has an expressionless face.

Even Yuna-gyeong, who helped the masters of the Seven Dragons and made her way down the road among the monsters that started to flock again.

Johanna pressed the pocket watch.

right after you open your hand.

Li Qingyu bit her lip as she watched the shuriken of light explode and bounce off them.

Even though I used myself as bait to get the silver-white princess out first and prevent the resonance of the Seven Arcs from completing.

Even that plan failed.

‘As expected, unless you’re a swordsman, you can’t pierce the protection of the Seven Arcs.’

I wonder if Maia and Charlotte were together.

Even suppressing the power of the stars was difficult, and now they were only a burden.

in that sense.

The only thing that could compete with Johanna now was the running eagle.

The question is whether she alone can defeat Johanna, who even defeated Vlad, even if she is not in good shape.

Even if they could win, they were wondering if they could suppress the power of the stars until then.

If I had fought with Vlad, I might have had a better chance of winning, but…

No, even then it would have been useless. If Johanna had summoned the Creator Lord, it would have created a more difficult situation.

‘Did she look ahead and prepare for this?’

Li Qingyu bit his lip.

Since he became a new ruler.

It was because he realized that it would be next to impossible to catch her off guard no matter what strategy he used.

Unlike uncertain foreknowledge, the power to experience the future directly and repeat the challenge several times until success.

Because regression was such an absolute force.

But there was hope.

only one person.

Become a sword master who can sever the fate of any regressor.

“If you’re waiting for a sword attack, you’d better give up.”

“…What do you mean?”

“It means that it will not be easy for him to cross over 100 gates, no matter how hard he can break through the star gates.”

Even while talking, the power of the stars prevents the princesses from joining forces.

Keeping the repair running with Jinryongseongong from opening the escape route.

Johanna chuckled.

From the moment the resonance of the Seven Arcs began, special measures were taken in this dungeon.

It was that the 100 floors were separated into separate dungeons, and the dungeon gate played a role in connecting the separated floors like stairs.

Of course that doesn’t make any sense.

Originally, it was a useless waste of energy.

But it was also a valid tactic against at least one person.

The only person whose access is restricted to the dungeon gate, where ordinary people as well as other sword masters can enter and exit freely.

To stop Limon.

As a result of his forced entry.

Not to be bothered unnecessarily.

The collapse of an important dungeon.

Because it was never what they wanted.

“If the swordsman comes into the dungeon, it’s rather a good thing. It will be easier to break the seal while he is blocked by the gate.”

“…Do you think we can target his Seven Arcs that easily?”

“It doesn’t matter who has it. The fact that Seven Arcs is coming here is itself.”

“…”

“This dungeon is a star altar made only for that.”

Dark Violin.

Plato’s carving knife.

Even the strong magic sword.

If Limon with as many as three Seven Arcs entered the dungeon, the ritual would be complete.

Seeing Yohanna talking mildly, Yuna-kyung put on a gloomy expression.

It’s really a slope.

From the moment they entered this dungeon, they realized that they had fallen into a perfect trap with no way out.

But unlike Yuna-kyung.

Li Qingyu was not yet discouraged.

Instead, he just closed his eyes coldly.

[…I can’t help it.]

[Do you want to gamble?]

[Li Qingyu is too reckless.]

[I can’t help it even if I’m reckless. Any delay will only make it worse. This is the judge’s decision.]

[If there is only a choice between fighting or fleeing, the former is always the right choice.] The

five princesses, who exchanged opinions in an instant through electronic communication, raised their psionics and began to resonate with the Seven Dragons.

Even if it meant giving up on suppressing the power of the stars, he decided to fight with all his might.

It was an all-or-nothing gamble in which everything could end as it was if he couldn’t kill Johanna.

“…Resolution.”

“Ugh, why do I have to go through this every time I come to a dungeon…”

Yuna-kyung uttered a spell.

A running repairman grabbed a dagger.

Feeling their determination, Johanna also throws away her leisure and raises the power of Jinryongsunong and Seven Arcs.

The moment when they were facing each other without blinking an eye, they were finally about to collide.

Kwaaang!!!

“…?!?!”
