Solo Swordmaster

Chapter 968

#968. Nice to meet you

* * *

Who was it?

It is said that in the third year of Seodang, it is said to recite Poongwol.

And thanks to the long journey aboard the Santa Maria for 20 years, Limon and Yuna-kyung have become excellent navigators and mechanics.

Even if there were maintenance spirits, including unmanned vacuum cleaners, there were plenty of small things to do.

Most of all, I had a lot of textbooks and time left over.

As a result, of course, the two of them didn’t know anything about the Santa Maria.

He was as good at fairies’ skills as any shaman.

“Na Kyung-ah!”

“AkCen Til!”

So it was.

The moment the hull vibrates.

Limon immediately stood up and Yuna-kyung plucked her own feathers and shouted a spell.

Just as the feather she threw was enveloped in blue light and disappeared, magical light permeated the hull and the vibration greatly decreased.

However, Yuna-kyung was not relieved and immediately shouted.

“Shinsinga emergency deployment!”

[100101110.]

Weiyiing.

As the unmanned vacuum cleaner, put down as if tossing repair parts, makes an emergency sound, the spirits protruding from various parts of the hull run to their respective locations.

Limon and Yuna-kyung also ran out of the cabin.

It was because he knew as much as he was familiar with the performance and structure of the Santa Maria.

How abnormal this situation is.

If the Santa Maria had finally reached its limits after a long voyage, it could have drifted somewhere unknown.

It’s more because I’m on a star drive.

But…

“Is it more than an engine?”

“I would be glad if that was enough.”

“…do you think it’s a more serious problem?”

“What do you think?”

“…”

Yuna-kyung hardened her face.

because she knew

That the Santa Maria, which they had worked so hard for, would not break so suddenly, and even if it did, there would be no such problem.

Above all, the familiar energy felt from the start of the shaking.

“Unbelievable…!”

Even so, I hope.

After reaching Limon and the bridge.

Yuna-kyung couldn’t help but groan.

It was because the instrument panel, which was shaking like crazy with red warning lights, was informed by the starlight that filled the screen above all else.

The identity of this power that has permeated through the cracks in space-time that should only be void and shakes the Santa Maria.

“As expected, it’s their trick.”

“Nonsense! It’s impossible to interfere from the outside during a star drive!”

“You know that. You shouldn’t expect common sense from them.”

Unlike Yuna-kyung, who is stunned.

Limon calmly accepted the situation.

Constellations are transcendent beings born by devouring all the possibilities of a world.

For them, who can perform impossible miracles like breathing, the impossible is just one of the obstacles they can overcome.

Rather, it was miraculous that I was able to break the constellation without any hindrance for the past half year.

But that luck is over now.

As long as the Constellations started to intervene.

Now, even with the Star Drive, getting around the constellations would be infinitely more difficult.

Because right now I didn’t know what would happen.

That’s why Limon and Yuna-kyung watched with hard faces.

Like ink staining a blank sheet of paper.

The starlight, which had filled the empty route before I knew it, spread intricately around the Santa Maria, repeatedly uniting and scattering.

“It’s like a net.”

muttering involuntarily.

Yuna-kyung thought.

If so, they would become fish that tear the net.

Although the unexpected situation was embarrassing, the battles they have fought over the past 20 years have always exceeded imagination.

I had no intention of getting caught up to this level.

However, Limon frowned.

“Does it look like a net to you?”

“What if it’s not a net?”

“Because to me it looks more like a maze than a net.”

“A maze?”

hear that

Yuna-kyung paused.

The starlight, which repeatedly unites and connects with each other, is more complicated than dense.

It wasn’t until after hearing Limon that he realized that the shape was actually more like a maze than a net.

‘No, rather than a maze…’

The starlight became clearer.

the more the structure is revealed.

A strange feeling of déjà vu, which gradually grew stronger, made her open her mouth involuntarily.

One word that might be more suited to this scene than the word maze.

“…A labyrinth?”

“It’s a labyrinth. Yes, this must be more like a dungeon than a maze.”

It was.

Right now at this moment.

The Santa Maria was imprisoned in a dungeon.

A labyrinth of time and space created by erecting walls with starlight rather than materials and twisting time and space instead of paths and passages.

Just looking at the fact that it interfered with the Star Drive and even blocked the Santa Maria, which contained the essence of the fairies, its power was beyond imagination.

It was to let them know how reckless the Constellations were to catch them.

However, the reason why Na-gyeong Yun made a strange expression was not just that kind of anxiety.

It was because of the feeling of déjà vu that grew stronger as soon as I realized that this place was a dungeon.

Right then.

A strange noise was heard.

[Hahahaha.]

“…!”

[Hahahahahahahahaha!]

“What is this again?”

Not by voice, but by will.

When Limon frowned at the loud laughter echoing throughout the labyrinth.

Yuna-kyung hardened.

[Come, come, come!]

[Finally, I knew you would come, I knew you!]

[Because I was chosen! No matter what kind of hardships and adversity there is, he is the true protagonist who survives and wins in the end!]

Slowly.

burst into mad laughter.

The moment I saw a strange dwarf with jagged gray hair and iron skin that appeared as if emerging from the middle of a starlit labyrinth.

Yuna-kyung finally found out.

It was the reason for the strange feeling of deja vu he had felt before.

“My God, how could that human…!”

“…human? is that?”

“Don’t you know, chief? Who is that?”

“Could it be that you know someone?”

“Of course I know!”

Limon narrowed his eyes.

No matter how you look at it, it was not enough to assert that a dwarf of a different race was human, and I couldn’t understand Yuna-gyeong’s attitude as if she knew it.

[Thank you in advance, insignificant creatures.]

[I thought everything would end when I handed over the third Seven Arcs to the Star’s Wisdom.] [Thank you for making sure that

my time and effort that I have endured here without giving up was in vain. .]

But after a while.

he realized

It was just that it was difficult to recognize because it was incomparably stronger than before, and the power of other starlight was also mixed.

Even though he may not have met him in person, he has felt similar signs.

…the distant past.

When Limon is reunited with his friend.

The one who drove Charlotte and Yuna-kyung into a corner by borrowing the power of the Seven Arcs.

“—Labyrinth.”

The last specter of the Liberation Brigade.

The 11th Lord of the Iron Age.

It’s just that it disappeared as soon as it was born, so it couldn’t engrave its name in history.

He showed great power in the dungeon and, after running away from Limon, passed Faust’s Feather to the Liberation Brigade and disappeared.

Labyrinth Lord Labyrinth.

must have died

Undoubtedly, he appeared in front of the Santa Maria with a huge dungeon.

“Right. Certainly the Fairy Queen said that the author was swept away by the collapse of space and disappeared.”

[…Could it be that he fell into the gap of time and space and became a lost child in the dimension?]

“That’s the most reasonable guess, isn’t it?”

[Nonsense! If you calculate the relative time, it means that you have been enduring alone here for thousands of years… maybe more than tens of thousands of years!] “Yes, so it

must have tasted like that.”

[Is that possible with just a bit of madness?]

“If you look at its degree of erosion, it’s more like a Constellation than a human anymore.”

Limon said coldly.

A skill that borrows the power of a constellation. Constellation Descent.

The skill used by the ghosts of the Liberation Brigade and the Lords of the World Federation did not have only advantages.

The act of forcibly containing the Constellation in one’s own body could not only damage the human mind and body, but also contaminate the Constellation.

The reason why the Liberation Brigade made the holy flag with the Seven Arcs was a safety device to prevent that erosion as much as possible.

However, if Labyrinth had spent a long time here, it would most likely have already been fused with the Constellation.

Conversely, as a Constellation, it would have been reduced from a transcendental providence itself to a mere mortal…

“It’s probably not a coincidence that the coordinates overlap with our Star Drive.”

Koo Goo Goo.

And unfortunately.

Limon’s prediction was correct.

Because the moment you thought the labyrinth of starlight was complete, light began to emerge between the soft brilliance.

as small as a dot.

stronger than the sun.

deeper and wider than the moon.

Hundreds of constellations.

“…This time, they seem to have made up their minds.”

“They came in droves to kill us…”

Limon hardened his face while holding the hilt, and Yuna-kyung groaned as well.

Because I knew.

The fact that each of those constellations was a constellation that gave strength to Labyrinth and was also a component of this dungeon.

In other words, they were surrounded by hundreds of Constellations.

Labyrinth wandered through the gaps of time and space.

Numerous constellations with the power of transcendence.

It was a trap aimed at them thoroughly that they could create because they cooperated with each other.

“I didn’t know that a death flag would be raised just because I had asked for that once, but…”

Yuna-kyung laughed in vain.

They were the ones who had cut down countless constellations until now.

However, it was only possible because they broke each other one by one.

The thought of having to handle so many Constellations at once made even her eyes go dark.

However, Limon said calmly.

“Don’t be foolish, stay alert. Rather, this is an opportunity.”

“A chance?”

“Don’t you know what those constellations have in common?”

“…?”

[iced coffee. no. You shouldn’t like it too much. because this is a job I’ll definitely kill you first and make you like it.]

What do they have in common?

When Yuna-kyung makes a puzzled expression.

Labyrinth, who was muttering madly to herself, smiled ferociously.

So the moment he was about to raise one hand.

[Now let’s die…]

[Wait a moment.]

[…Why?]

[I should have told you. I have something to tell you first.]

[Huh? oh i said I heard okay. Then it can’t be helped.]

Labyrinth, who was looking disapprovingly at the newly rising starlight next to her, nodded her head as if belatedly accepting it.

The starlight gradually took on a clear shape.

So after a while.

Even if it wasn’t a clear body like Labyrinth, the constellation with a shape close to reality calmly opened its mouth.

[Nice to meet you. Swordsmith Limon Aspelder, opponent of the stars.]

Male or female.

Even gender is ambiguous.

Only beautiful things are clear.

Although it may look similar to a human with a thin line, instead, it has four pairs of wings spread on its back.

Strangely enough, only the brilliance of one wing was composed of a uniquely dim light, and the angel said with a gentle smile toward the Santa Maria.

[I am a messenger who has come to offer you negotiations on behalf of all the Constellations.]

And…

[?He is called the ‘Benevolent Guardian of Resurrection’.]

Squirming.

Limon’s eyebrows rose.
