Solo Swordmaster

Chapter 969

#969. Virtually

the last 20 years.

Limon and Yuna-Kyung met many constellations as they traveled around many constellations.

Among them, there were constellations that were so terrible that they could not be described, constellations that were so similar that people mistakenly thought they were human, and constellations that were so mysterious that it was hard to even imagine.

from that point of view.

The Constellation Merciful Guardian of Resurrection that appeared in front of them was not a particularly mysterious constellation.

Whether it is beautiful enough to be mistaken for an angel.

Rarely do you speak softly.

Out of the Constellations they experienced, this was rather normal.

‘…?’

So it was.

What did Yuna-kyung feel suspicious about?

It may not have been able to detect the constellations surrounding the Santa Maria, as well as the sensors of the unmanned vacuum cleaner on the bridge.

It was because only she, who had been with Limon for decades, could notice.

The moment that constellation appeared…

No, the moment Limon heard the introduction of the constellation, Rimon slightly raised his eyebrows

.

Like Noh Kang-ho, Limon quickly hid his emotions, and Yuna-kyung also quickly hid his doubts.

Thanks to that, the Constellations didn’t feel any discomfort until he opened his mouth.

“…you want to negotiate with me?”

[Yes.]

“There must have been no room for further discussion between us?”

whether it’s half a year

Or 20 years.

For the immortals living in the far-off years, it was a short time like an instant.

However, it was also enough time for Limon, who had already cut down hundreds of constellations, to become irreversibly friends with them.

In the first place, it was a decided result from when the Constellations invaded Earth 33 years ago.

Because he was the protector of mankind.

However, the benevolent Guardian of Resurrection did not erase his gentle smile.

[I can’t see it that way. After all, the final goal we and you are aiming for is the same.]

“The final goal?”

[?World peace.]

That moment.

Limon twitched his lips.

“It will not be peace, but eternal exploitation and domination.”

[It seems that you have a sad misunderstanding about us.]

At Limon’s cold mocking words, the benevolent Guardian of Resurrection let out a sigh of regret.

[Of course I can understand. Most of the constellations you passed through were hardliners, and there were quite a few extreme ones among them.]

“You say that moderates are different?”

[Not all the stars in the sky shine the same color.]

“Well. It doesn’t seem to make much of a difference to me.”

Limon did not erase his cynicism.

Even the holy lord who immediately unsealed the Seven Arcs was an apostle of the moderate faction, so of course there was no reason to be favorable to them.

It was because he knew it with absolute certainty as he had fought numerous Constellations up until now.

That there was no compromise between the Constellation and herself.

[Please listen to the suggestion.]

“It’s obvious. Doesn’t that mean you’ll accept me as a Constellation if you give me the Seven Arcs?”

[No, it’s a little different.]

As if he’d already heard a lot of suggestions.

The benevolent Guardian of Resurrection said to Limon, who was blatantly sarcastic.

[Because what we propose is an alliance.]

“Alliance?”

[Yes, it’s okay if you don’t have to climb the constellation. I will not intervene in your world either.]

“Do you want to sign a non-aggression pact with me?”

[Because you deserve it.]

The benevolent Guardian of Resurrection smiled.

Half a year ago, even the most moderate would not have made this offer to Limon.

they are constellations.

It was because even the Absolute was a transcendental person who regarded him as an insignificant thing for a day.

However, Limon’s feat of cutting down hundreds of constellations in the past half year forced even them to admit it.

That he has the right to negotiate with them on an equal footing.

[You just have to give us seven arcs and go back like this. Then you and your world will be able to achieve eternal peace.]

From that point of view.

This was a truly unconventional proposal.

It’s only a matter of time before we can deal with even Limon as long as we’ve fallen into their trap.

It was a huge concession for anyone to do this.

Limon’s power will help prevent the apocalypse, and this is the best way to replenish the power of hundreds of constellations.

It was a negotiation that was possible because the active argument of the moderate faction was also accepted by the Constellations.

“What if you don’t like it?”

[It will be a regrettable result.]

There’s no way you don’t know that fact.

Even so, the benevolent Guardian of Resurrection did not show any signs of regret while watching Limon maintain a calm attitude.

The choice seems to be up to him.

I just smiled and said one more thing.

[Especially to the world you must protect and your beloved brides.]

“….”

[This labyrinth is not the only thing we have prepared to negotiate with you.]

Depending on this choice, the fate of the Earth and his brides will also change

Looking at the benevolent and benevolent Guardian of Resurrection, Limon’s golden eyes grew even colder.

“In short, would you like to take a hostage against me?”

[no. It means that I will give you one last chance to protect your world.]

“….”

[What would you like to do?]

Let’s hold hands and get peace.

Will we continue fighting without a win?

It is an outlier rather than an either/or option.

Looking at the Guardian of Resurrection, who had already eliminated the options and offered negotiations.

Limon thought.

That’s a pretty tempting proposition.

More than even the star drive was hampered.

The possibility of closing all dungeon gates in the future is infinitely low.

On the other hand, if we sign a non-aggression pact with the Constellations even now, at least the purpose of protecting the world can be achieved.

Even if the non-aggression pact was to be broken later, it was right to accept this negotiation for now, overcome the hurdle, and adjust the posture.

“I’m sorry.”

[…Are you serious?]

Maybe it’s because I didn’t expect to hear an answer like this.

After a short silence, Limon twitched his lips as he looked at the constellation asking again as if to confirm.

“If you really want to negotiate with me, you shouldn’t have threatened me.”

[…]

“I don’t compromise on taking hostages.”

It is easy to compromise once.

It is more in that it is easy to understand by yourself as there is a justification to protect humanity.

But compromise is a habit.

Only the first time is difficult.

Taking one step back makes it easier to take two steps back.

If he compromised now, he would be swung around every time the Constellations held hostages under the pretext of world security, and as a result, he would lose more.

Having lived a long life, I have seen and experienced so many such cases.

And because I know what a Constellation is.

Make decisions without hesitation.

Limon smiled coldly.

“Above all…”

[…]

“—don’t underestimate us.”

Golden eyes filled with unwavering faith even when surrounded by hundreds of starlight.

The guardian deity of mankind asserted.

“Because my bride and disciples are not weak enough to stop your tricks.”

“…I see.”

A snowy mountain with scattered red snowflakes.

It took a long time to stand tall on that peak and stare at the palm of your hand.

with a short stretch.

The man nodded.

“It is Bethany’s ability to tear through the Nine Heavens and Hell’s four chapters and even 10 kalpas to bring shame to the principal in the past.”

Nine Heavens and Hell.

A treasure made of nine heavens.

Actually, there are nine worlds in it.

It was an infinite pocket that contained even a mountain and carried ten thousand armies, and it was also an absolute barrier with durability comparable to that of the continent, layer by layer.

Even more so in the fact that he has been able to contain even time since he spent hundreds of years smelting into the Heavenly Demon Art.

In fact, he has never been hurt since he obtained the Nine Heavens Hell Road even in that devastating yoma realm.

Even with the attacks of dozens of absolute self-leveling monsters, at most, the two layers of hell blades ended up being torn apart.

But, of course, he tore the four-layered sword of hell.

The aftermath alone killed the ten kalpa he used as a palanquin.

It means that the power that was enough to destroy all four continents in that single blow was imbued with it.

If it was him at the time who fought with a sword gun that had barely reached the level of a demon, he would not have been able to get it safely.

“Even if that is the case, it is only a first impression of the principal.”

nevertheless.

No, that’s why he was cynical.

A silver-haired woman who was barely standing on her sword while the originally pure white snowy mountains were dyed red.

Looking at Anastasia, who was bloodied all over, who was not fighting, let alone alive, he said coldly.

“The skill of parrying the blow of the master is dragon, but it would be better not to misunderstand it. You are still alive because you have mercy in your hands.”

Capture the swordsmith’s brides alive.

If it hadn’t been for the request of the Constellations, they would have spread the annihilation line and killed her instantly.

“But I don’t like it. I have been asked to capture you alive, but I have never been told to leave you alive.”

sigh

Immediately after the Heavenly Demon turned one hand over, a bloody crystal skull appeared on that hand.

A bloody glow shimmering in both eye sockets.

A ghost whose surface is faintly reflected.

faintly audible screams and cries.

The Heavenly Demon laughed cruelly as the black magicians, who seemed to embody ominous and terrible things, twitched at the terrified skull.

“Even the nine yoseon kings, who were the rulers of the yoma realm, went mad in less than 10 years after being imprisoned in this crystal blood jade, so I wonder how long you can survive.”

“…”

Even while watching the Heavenly Demon sticking her skull out like that, Anastasia couldn’t resist.

It was because the blow of the Heavenly Demon, which struck her in the stomach while she was exerting all her might, shook her internal organs and twisted the energy and blood in her body.

He was barely conscious, but that was all.

At least, it was not easy to wield the sword until the twisted gihyeol was corrected.

However, there was no despair or fear in Anastasia’s eyes.

It was just as calm as a winter lake.

Maybe it’s because I didn’t like that look.

The Heavenly Demon frowned and activated the skull she was holding in her hand to trap her.

No, I was trying to lock it up.

?If it wasn’t for the sudden flash of gold.

?Seventy-two types of martial arts,

twelve dragons of the twelve seasons, seventy-two kinds of martial arts,

celestial dragon

descending, ten thousand steeds, celestial dragon spirits, ????

?

It was an instant.

It is said that a huge golden dragon fell from the sky and blew away the entire summit of Everest.

It is truly a natural disaster.

It was a cataclysmic event that was enough to make even a tolerable absolute person perish.

But of course.

The Heavenly Demon was fine.

I just looked around slowly with my hands behind my back on another peak.

“—It’s really virtual.”

Blonde beauty with a rifle.

A silver-haired and white-haired girl who saved the sword before the golden sheen fell.

As they approached, a black-haired girl covered her eyes with a clever phantasmagoric.

Besides that, there is a blue-haired woman with a sword, a red-haired beauty in a military uniform, and a slender green-haired woman.

The Heavenly Demon smiled coldly as she looked back at the seven princesses surrounding her and exuding a vicious spirit.

“I was worried that you guys would run away, so I even released the monsters, but they came to me on their own like this.”
