Solo Swordmaster

#987. Long time no see

* * *

“Rkar al Lihat ha Osils qu.”

Like humming.

Or like singing.

A high-pitched voice resounds.

Innumerable flowers bloom right after the spell wants to weave into the starlight in the air.

from the ground to the sky.

As if drawing the world as a canvas.

The flower buds that bloomed filling the whole situation opened and the seeds that flowed out repeatedly bloomed countless other flowers.

It’s already violent.

Even simple swordsmanship becomes an art once it reaches its peak.

It was a fantastic, even destructive beauty decision that covered the whole world and forced beauty.

The problem was that if the beauty is violence, there are also targets that are assaulted by it.

“How dare you do this insignificant bird’s head!”

and this moment.

The target of that assault was Labyrinth.

No, to be precise, it was his zodiac sign.

That’s why Labyrinth stared at the flower field, which bloomed beautifully and only expanded its territory, with ferocious eyes.

It was because as the flower garden made by Yuna-kyung expanded, he felt that the previously blurry connection between himself and the constellation was weakening even more.

It’s literally erosion.

Just as constellations create dungeons and interfere with other worlds.

It was an attack to overwrite the providence that existed in another world with one’s own providence.

That’s why Labyrinth had no choice but to become more frenzied.

No matter how much he fell, his providence was eroded by something like a blue bird who stole the power of a star, not a real constellation.

Because that was tantamount to an insult and denial of his very existence.

With that boiling anger.

Labyrinth stamped her feet.

Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

It seems like an earthquake…

no, actually, an earthquake occurs and what sweeps the flower garden is a storm of destruction.

The earth cracked, lava erupted, and a storm containing the heat covered the whole world with scorching flames.

The flower garden, which was just beautiful, was burned as it was in the banquet of destruction that was more powerful because it was simple.

No, it looked like it would burn.

“ArArAr hArAhArAhArA.”

―The moment Yuna-kyung opened her mouth as if humming again.

Until the petals that I thought had been burnt to ashes bloomed again.

It is a flower of flame.

It was an explosion of ephemeral beauty that was more fantastic and more terrifying because it flared up for an instant and then disappeared.

Labyrinth gritted her teeth as she saw the storm of red flowers swallowing even the lava storm.

“How many star powers have you stolen!”

“It’s stealing. It’s definitely the spoils I got from fighting with the team leader.”

“This shameless thing…!”

Oneself who lost her status as a Constellation.

Yuna-kyung, who stole her power from the Constellation.

Although there were many differences, the two were practically equal in that they were half Constellations.

One problem.

This place was the constellation of Labyrinth.

It is said that even a dog eats half of it in its own house, but the power that a constellation can exert in its own constellation is absolute.

No matter how much I was affected by the sword’s sword, that merit wouldn’t disappear.

I can’t overwhelm a blue bird that imitates a constellation with the power of a stolen star.

It was the most humiliating thing for Labyrinth.

So, in order to wash away the humiliation, he continued to draw the power of the stars and attack Yuna-kyung in all kinds of ways…

“It’s no use.”

A catastrophe that will destroy the continent.

A labyrinth where even a god could be imprisoned.

A curse that transcends providence.

I couldn’t hurt the star fairy who was just humming a spell.

Adding the magic of fluttering butterflies to the magic of fluttering flowers, Yuna-kyung lightly continued her words.

“Magic is a power that can be omnipotent, if not omnipotent, if the price is sufficient.”

That was already 20 years ago.

Teachings she inherited from the Great Witch, who was called the Sorceress Queen and rose to the pinnacle of the Silver Age.

The belief that nothing is impossible in magic that has truly reached its peak, even if the archwitch and saint are among the lowest of the absolute, as long as they have combat power.

Of course, magic always comes at a price.

That’s why the biggest drawback of magic was that the price prepared soon reached its limit…

“And if it’s that price, I’ve got more than enough for me right now.”

“Are you bragging about using it as firewood because you can’t handle the power of the great stars!”

“I’m proud if I can evaporate the sea by using wood chips or gold as firewood.”

“Hey hey…!”

In exchange for the star power she received from Limon through her tattoo, Yuna-kyung smiled as she poured out magic almost unlimitedly.

The power of the constellations is enormous.

Even more so, Limon has cut through countless constellations and absorbed the power of the stars they possessed.

Having received even a small portion of that power, the power she could handle was almost endless.

It’s over all witches.

It was the embodiment of omnipotence that even the Archwitch could use any magic without worrying about the cost.

‘Umm, it’s getting a bit difficult.’

However, contrary to her laid-back appearance, Yuna-kyung was not so comfortable on the inside.

No matter how much firewood there was, it was up to the user to throw it into the furnace.

Every time she chanted a spell to burn the power of the stars and spread her magic, her mind and body were under enormous load.

Wings received from the Fairy Queen.

Art Magic learned from Shera.

The magical essence that Sir taught me.

And even the tattoo that Limon gave me.

I tried to reduce the burden as much as possible by mobilizing everything I could use, but even there is a limit.

So I wanted to win as soon as possible… but

the problem was that Labyrinth wasn’t such an easy opponent either.

‘As expected, there is no answer to fighting a constellation in a constellation.’

Labyrinth is a constellation no matter how half-sized it is. He was an immortal and undefeated transcendent in his own constellation.

It’s just that Limon is too out of the norm.

Even for Yuna-kyung, who reached the pinnacle of magic with the power of the stars, it was not easy to defeat Labyrinth with magic alone.

‘What is it?’

Even if it’s too much, I’m going to rush the game.

Or should I look for more opportunities?

Even as Yuna-kyung memorizes the spell, she rolls her head hard.

It was a time when Labyrinth was anxiously devising a way to overwhelm Yuna-kyung while pressuring her with the power of the stars.

Dig!

“…?”

[Damn it again…?]

Yuna-kyung and Labyrinth hesitated.

It was because the blade of the blade of the yam dragon slaughter sword, which erased their power even over a long distance, suddenly disappeared.

Of course, I’ve been through that before.

If the swordsman had been opened again right away, as it was just a moment ago, both of them would have thought so or cursed and moved on.

But no matter how much time passes.

The sword did not unfold again.

What came instead was a chill.

Creepy!

“…!”

[…!]

Yuna-kyung and Labyrinth too.

Forgetting that they were fiercely fighting each other, the two turned their heads in one direction at the same time.

what?

what.

Something is wrong.

something appeared

-It’s so scary.

Even those who handle the power of the stars…

No, the presence of something that they have no choice but to know because they handle the power of the stars made them get goosebumps all over their bodies.

[The benevolent Guardian of Resurrection can’t be that…!]

Labyrinth, who had intuited the identity of this presence, even vaguely, clenched her teeth.

Yuna-kyung also muttered with a hard face.

“It doesn’t seem like we’re in a situation where we’re fighting among ourselves.”

[Ha so? Are you going to get scared and surrender now?]

“No. It means I’m going to end the fight.”

[…a bird head that doesn’t even know this topic!] Whether

Labyrinth is angry or not.

Yuna-kyung brought out the power of the stars that flowed through her body beyond its limits.

The body, which had already been subjected to an enormous burden, screamed throbbing as it could not bear the torrent of power beyond its limits.

But she didn’t stop.

I thought it would be enough to hold on to Labyrinth’s ankles until Limon defeats the Constellations.

This is because this creepy presence that suddenly felt gave her a sense of crisis that she had to solve the situation quickly.

That’s why it’s the power of the stars and magic that raises them.

Weave it with power.

Based on the law of unity of gods and demons completed with the help of Sir and Shera.

Her original magic, conceived from the descent of the constellation used by the ghosts and monarchs of the Liberation Brigade, and completed independently after 20 years of research.

The moment Nakyung Yun activated it.

“Activation of the Law of Holy Demon Unity.”

[…!]

Brilliant starlight wrapped Yuna-kyung and the Santa Maria she was on.

* * *

For a moment.

The Constellations fell into confusion.

Suddenly, the power of the stars returns, the prankster who plays with fate is massacred, and the starlight explodes.

Because so many things happened in just 3 seconds, even the transcendental ones couldn’t grasp the situation right away.

Especially since they are mischievous and unaware of the guardian’s plan.

But that’s for a while.

The power of the stars overflowing throughout the body.

A white-haired man who flew like a piece of paper.

As soon as they grasped the two, the Constellations instinctively felt it even in the midst of chaos.

It is now.

Only now.

The only chance to kill that mad monster is this moment when the vicious blade doesn’t unfold.

So they acted immediately.

No matter who came first, he raised the power of the stars and attacked Limon.

Unlike just a moment ago, when they were bound by swords and could only wield their bodies and metal, their attacks, which allowed them to use their power freely, were overwhelming.

Even if it was opened in a hurry, it was enough to kill even a sword master.

Especially if it was Limon who hadn’t yet recovered from the impact of being thrown backwards.

-Suddenly.

[…?!] That’s why

the Constellations hardened right

after that .

A ray of sword light flashed at the moment.

It wasn’t just that the power of all the stars they poured out was cut like paper, and dozens of constellations were cut to pieces at once.

It was because the opponent who unleashed that sword light wasn’t Limon.

[What are you doing!]

“What are you doing… You are asking something strange.”

And the person who cut down the Constellations that were trying to attack Limon calmly opened his mouth to the stunned cry of the merciful Guardian of Resurrection.

“What reason do I need to punish those who tried to harm my priest in my presence?”

[I am the one who resurrected you!]

“That’s why I kept you alive.”

[…]

“If you know, get out of the way.”

He had paid off the debt of resurrecting himself by preventing Limon from cutting him down, so he had nothing more to owe.

He said calmly, and added a word while holding the dragon sword he was holding at an angle.

“He who hinders me is a belter.”

that buck

that buck

whatever you are

If you presumptuously stand in the way of the Sword Master, you will pay the price.

The Constellations did not dare to stand in front of him as he took such arrogant words for granted and moved slowly.

It was because his instinct as a transcendentalist was telling him.

this moment.

whoever

That anyone who stands in his way will die.

Crossing the Constellations hardened by a terrifying thrill that even Limon had never felt before.

Arriving in front of the gray-haired man who barely managed to calm down his shock from the other side and stood up, he spoke calmly.

“Long live the priest.”

tall stature.

two swords.

A more compliant face.

Antique oriental armor.

Long black hair neatly trimmed.

Above all, the deepest and heavy sunken eyes that cannot be forgotten even after a thousand years.

“…long time no see.”

just resurrected

Why is this man the way he used to be?

After wiping the blood from his mouth as he looked at the man who looked the same as he did when he was alive, Limon had no choice but to open his mouth as if lamenting.

“—The death penalty of Yue Fei.”

The sword master’s apprentice.

The first sword of the former era.

He is the successor of the Doryongsword.

The creator of the strong demon sword.

The worst sword master in history who slaughtered a tenth of humanity at the same time.

That’s why, after 7 duels and 6 defeats, he was able to miraculously defeat the one and only brother-in-law in the world.

Seeing the sword demon, Limon couldn’t help but let out a heavy sigh.
