Solo Swordmaster - Chapter 204

Episode #204. It’s my job.

Is it because of disturbed anger?

Or is it because it came so unexpectedly?

Carol, who had been staring at Rose for a long time, shouted out loud as soon as she came to her senses.

“Why are you, who should be protecting London, here?”

Others would have been shocked and at a loss to hear the shout.

He is a magic lord. Because in the British Empire, he was an absolute authority with authority that no one could touch except for one person.

However, Rose, the only exception who can defy that authority, asked with a hard face.

“That is something I really want to ask. What the hell is Prince Carol doing in a place like this in this situation?”

“I’m trying to get rid of the witch who is the culprit of this situation. So get out of here!”

“Unfortunately, I can’t follow that for three reasons.”

“what?”

Maybe it was because he didn’t know that Rose would reject it.

She said in a calm voice to Carol who couldn’t hide her bewilderment.

“First, the authority to keep London safe belongs to the Countess of Sea Serpent.”

“Is this the time to argue about that!”

“Second, she is not the cause of this situation. If you kill her, it’s just plain murder.”

“what?”

“Third, I am not Duke Carol’s subordinate. So do not order me.”

“….”

Rose with a sincere face as usual.

However, it took a while for him to put on a serious expression when he heard the answer that contained his unbending pride and loftiness.

Carol immediately stared at her with cold eyes and opened her mouth.

“I see… Why did you want to oppose the destruction of the London confrontation world so much, so you were holding hands with the witches from the beginning?”

“It is true that we have a cooperative relationship with the 27 lineage of demons.”

“To join hands with a witch and do something like this! Aren’t you ashamed of your ancestors who have protected the British Empire?”

“I made the best decision to protect the citizens of London, but I do not remember doing anything shameful to my father.”

“Such shameless…!”

Rose didn’t even raise an eyebrow, whether or not Carol rather aged at that confident answer.

I just said calmly to Sir, who was watching the situation with an interesting expression from behind.

“Go.”

[Eh?!]

“Are you saying you’re going to deal with that bastard by yourself? Not anywhere else, but here?”

“I am just trying to do what I have to do. So you do what you have to do.”

Quite unexpectedly, I opened my eyes wide and looked at Rose for a while.

Shir eventually let out a chuckle.

“Whoop whoop. You princesses of the blue dragon clan have always been reckless… But among them, you are as reckless as your predecessors.”

As Syrr opened one hand, a stick the size of a fingernail fell from her hand and swelled rapidly into a broom shape.

Sitting on the broomstick, Sir floated in the air and flew straight in one direction.

“Do you think you’ll let it go!”

Carol shot lightning from her staff to try to shoot down my Syr, but the lightning cut through the air in vain.

It was the result of the lightning’s trajectory being bent because Rose had spread her hand just before, spreading a cyclonic flow and distorting space.

“Count Rose! Are you really going to side with that wicked witch? Come to your senses right now and step back!”

“I should have told you.”

Rose raised her sword instead, looking at Carol’s burning eyes.

And, as if telling him to knock himself down first if he really wanted to pass by, he stood in front of him and spoke confidently.

“I mean, don’t order me.”

“…If you really want to die like that, do as you please!”

In the end, Carol gave up on persuading her with any more words.

Instead, as if to get rid of her as soon as possible, he swung his cane and activated [Magic Ultimate].

『The Ultimate of Magic』.

Of course, he can handle all the elements that ordinary magic players can only handle one or two, such as the four elements of feng shui, lightning, and gravity.

An absolute skill that can be used most efficiently by understanding and analyzing the principles of all magical skills.

The spell based on it gathered the surrounding elements in an instant to create a red orb.

Kwagwagwang!

The six fireballs created by the 6th class magic-type skill [Explosion Cannon] flew at Rose as fiercely as arrows.

Rose didn’t back down.

He just stood firm in his place and cut off the fireballs that flew at him one after another.

Originally, the fireball, which should have exploded as soon as it touched the sword, however, disappeared as soon as it was cut.

As if Carol expected that much, this time she opened 『Stone Blade』.

Fu-wook!

The moment when Rose, who couldn’t avoid the blade of the rock rising right from under her feet, felt like she was pierced like a skewer.

The figure of Rose, who had been pierced by a rock, disappeared like an illusion, and she emerged from the side of three steps and lightly snapped her fingers.

bang!

The droplets of water that flew like bullets from the falling star stream were blocked by the 『Wind Shield』 surrounding Carol in vain.

But that was just the beginning.

Bang bang ta da da da dadang!

As Rose spreads her palms, the surrounding mist coalesces and turns into water droplets, which fly like meteors with each flick of her fingers.

It was the first time that only a few drops were fired as if in check.

The amount of water on Rose’s hand increased as time went by, and the speed at which she snapped her fingers increased as well, and later, like raindrops, she hit Carol’s shield nonstop.

A shield that gradually cracks in a chain of water droplets that can pierce even an iron wall, drop by drop.

In the midst of that, Carol calmly held out her staff.

“The Photon Cannon.”

Dig!

Right after the light rises from the tip of the staff, it burns the water droplets that fly in and shoots a thick beam of light.

The ray of light that pierces everything it touches and melts the ground is reminiscent of the whip of the sun god.

Perhaps he was wary of the power of class 8 magic skills that could only be used by players in their 90s.

Rose raised her psionic power while avoiding the light of the photo cannon, leaving afterimages in succession.

It takes control of the surrounding space with the psionics of the Gyokugong Circular Flow and uses the Sea Dragon Water Jade Flow to collect moisture from the air and transform it into water and control it.

And shoots the water according to the rules of Nakseongtanjiryu.

『Seventy

-two kinds of martial arts, three seasons, 三絶技Water

King

Bombardment

』

Following Rose’s gesture, the few strands of water that swirled around her merged into a huge waterfall and collided with Carol’s Photon Cannon.

A pillar of light trying to pierce through water while evaporating it.

A waterfall of water rising upside down, pushing back the light.

For a while, the two forces seemed to be fighting each other on an equal footing, but in the end, the waterfall of water sucked in the surrounding fog and swelled up even more, and the weight of balance was driven in an instant.

However, Carol was not shaken even as she pushed away the pillar of light and saw the waterfall soaring toward her.

I just opened my mouth coldly.

“『Double Casting (Double Casting)』 『Niflheim Wave』.”

Blasphemy!

At that moment, the waterfall, which was flowing backward, completely froze.

It wasn’t just the waterfall. From the mist hovering around us to the ground and air.

A chill close to absolute zero that spread from Carol’s center froze everything in all directions and rushed toward Rose like a wave.

However, Rose did not waver even before the powerful ice barrier skill of the 9th class.

He just swung his sword vertically while standing straight in place.

It was right after

『Seventy

-two kinds of martial arts, four seasons, and four martial

arts

.

A wave of cold air that cuts everything open sweeps over where Rose was standing.

The fact that her figure, which seemed to have instantly become a piece of ice, melted like a mirage and instead appeared on the ground below where Carol floated.

So, the moment Rose jumped up vertically and tried to swing her sword at Carol, ignoring the thin frost all over her body.

“Great Elemental Break (higher element decomposition).”

Kwaaang!

Light exploded from Carol’s staff.

A trickle of blood flowed from the corner of Rose’s mouth as she was swept away by the aftermath of a class 9 magic skill and fell from the air to the ground.

Seeing that, Carol clicked her tongue.

“Don’t be stupid. There’s no way things like moving through space can work properly here.”

“…”

Rose was silent.

In fact, it was not only the shock that permeated through the airflow outside self-defense that caused her internal injuries.

It was because he cut through the space with the Chamgongjeolgeom style and squeezed into the gap with the Hehyeonghwanwiryu and forcibly used space movement.

Even she, the Blue Dragon Princess, had no choice but to use such a method to cross the space in this place filled with gloomy fog.

Not only was he unable to cut Carol because of the unstable jump, but he also suffered internal injuries due to the shaking of his psionics.

The damage she saw with this single move was not small.

“I don’t know what kind of lie you fell for and are siding with the witch, but give it up.”

That’s why Carol calmly declared it.

“Unless you know it outside, here you can never stop me.”

Rose was obviously a threatening opponent to him, who was weak in close combat as he was essentially a magic player.

But that’s the story when she can move freely in and out of space.

Rose could never be his opponent in this place where the power of the seventy-two kinds of things that deal with space as well as space movement was halved due to the gloomy fog.

Even if she was the Blue Dragon Princess, there was no chance of victory if she fought from a distance with Carol, who boasted the strongest firepower from a distance among the ten monarchs.

“Yes, I know I can’t beat you.”

Despite knowing that fact better than anyone else, Rose did not back down.

After wiping the blood from his mouth, he slowly opened his mouth.

“But at least I can hold you.”

“Are you trying to make time? In the middle of this, what’s the point of doing that…!”

Carol was startled.

A thick fog hung everywhere.

It was because I sensed that it was shaking strangely and that the magic aura started to fluctuate.

“Why is the gloomy fog?”

The fog remaining in this mirrored world is a trace of the London confrontation.

It was nothing more than a remnant of a London confrontation that would soon dissipate like the traces of a glowing sunset after the sun had gone down.

Even so, why did the fog start to radiate clearer magic aura?

Bewildered for a while.

Carol soon hardened her face.

It was because he now realized why Rose had to step down from Syr in the first place, even though he knew he couldn’t handle himself alone.

“Countess Rose, what the hell are you doing with the witches!”

Carol, who had never been flustered even when she was excited, showed her nervousness for the first time.

Facing him with unwavering eyes, Rose answered quietly.

“Didn’t I tell you? I just want to do what I have to do.”
