Solo Swordmaster - Chapter 450

#450. Is it inevitable?

* * *

‘…why.’

struggling to breathe

Rubber thought.

I couldn’t get dizzy, so much that my eyes were dizzy and my stomach was turned upside down.

‘why.’

Among the specters of the Liberation Brigade, she was cautious.

That’s why, from the time the plan to capture Charlotte was established, he researched everything he could about the princess of the Seven Dragons.

Fortunately, there was plenty of data.

The Blue Dragon Princess, who was active during the London Crisis.

The Black Dragon Princess who killed the monster lord Gula.

The green dragon princess ran amok against demons.

The Red Dragon Princess who defeated the summoning lord, Branga, etc.

A battle that usually ended in a crushing defeat for the liberation brigade or teenage guild.

But whatever the result, they were able to get a lot of information through the process.

A typical example is the power of the seven princesses.

Although there were individual differences, it was true that the princess of the Seven Dragons possessed a military force comparable to or even surpassed by most monarchs.

For the Liberation Brigade, a player supremacist, this is absolutely unbelievable.

But Rubber…

no, the specter of the Liberation Brigade eventually humbly accepted that fact.

Putting aside anything else, it was clear that the seven princesses were opponents that should not be underestimated simply by using the fraudulent means of Yonghwa.

So, the Liberation Brigade did everything they could to catch Charlotte.

Of course, he deliberately leaked information about his home base and brought her to Detroit.

If the U.S. Army or even the Golden Dragon clan were mobilized, they prepared to evacuate immediately and let Charlotte know that fact, so that only a small number of elites could move.

And originally, he gathered the ghosts that were active in various parts of the world and prepared an army.

Because the demon was subdued too quickly, the magician who was supposed to lead the original operation could not participate.

But that’s all.

The four ghosts of the liberation brigade.

A legion of players armed with high-grade items.

In addition to the traps prepared throughout Detroit.

With this level of preparation, even if at least one magician was missing, there would be no problem in dealing with Charlotte.

Even if the voluptuous woman is stronger than expected, it may not be possible to win, but it will be possible for the ghosts to take their bodies out.

And even if they lost all the remaining members of the brigade, they would eventually win as long as they escaped safely.

Rubber had no doubts.

…until he fought Charlotte.

‘What is that? What the hell is that power!’

she trembled.

It wasn’t just that his body temperature dropped because of excessive bleeding.

Sun, the 8th-ranked specter in the rankings, was cut in two after being unable to inflict a single wound even after attacking the entire mountain with an immortal attack.

Curse, the ninth-ranked specter, whose head was smashed by a bullet that returned even though he tried to snip from a distance of over 100km.

The entirety of Detroit was fortified and devoted to defense, but the 11th rank Wraith Tower was completely crushed along with the buildings.

The terrible end of comrades who had the power to crush the country alone made Rubber’s teeth clench.

They weren’t the only ones.

Tanks and helicopters turned into scrap metal and flew away.

Even thousands of brigade members who were swept away like ants.

The scene of the Liberation Brigade’s power being destroyed was enough to inscribe trauma to the criminals who committed all kinds of heinous crimes.

At least his life was saved thanks to the use of four bottles of Elixir, which he had for emergencies.

If only a little bit delayed.

So after charging the brigade.

If they didn’t run away while they were being swept away.

Rubber himself would have been buried among the piles of corpses.

‘I have to run away!’

More than anything, what made Rubber nervous was the fact that he was not yet safe.

The remaining members of the brigade would have already been annihilated.

It would be nice if Charlotte went back thinking she was dead… but would she be lax enough not to even check the ghost’s body?

As a rubber, I couldn’t have such reckless hopes.

So she desperately tried to find a way to survive.

‘Time… I just need to drag it out. Then you can live!’

Fortunately, the place where she is hiding now is one of the strongholds made by the tower.

It is fortified enough to withstand the attacks of most large-supply players, and there are several escape routes.

There are dozens of such bases all over Detroit.

If he concentrated on hiding thoroughly using all these facilities and running away, he would be able to hold out for a few days, even against Charlotte.

Rubber was sure.

But at that moment.

Deed Deed Deed!

“Hee!?”

It was a sudden vibration that broke her hopes.

oscillating floor.

A cracked wall.

Ceiling with falling debris.

It’s been a while since I’ve been rolling between buildings that shake as if there’s an earthquake.

Eventually, the walls on all four sides collapse.

The whole ceiling was ripped off like a lid on a pot, and the rubber hardened like stone as I watched the clouds float across it.

The sky suddenly appeared above the basement, which was dozens of floors above.

A presence looking down on her from above made her hold her breath.

“You hide well like a rat.”

Golden eyes shining softly.

A bodysuit that fits snugly to the body.

A rifle held in one hand.

Slightly twisted slender legs.

A blonde beauty sitting on a majestic seat that was surprisingly majestic for something made of suitable fragments.

It is so beautiful and proud that even the sight of it floating in the air with its entire seat feels like a painting.

But at least to himself, watching a blonde beauty who is more terrible than any boss in a horror movie.

Rubber muttered in a trembling voice.

“How… how did I hide here…?”

“I didn’t know.”

“You didn’t know?”

“Why bother looking for the lost mouse? They say that if you just remove the hiding place, it will appear on its own.”

Quack!

without a moment to understand its meaning.

Rubber felt his body tighten.

I tried to get out of it only belatedly, but it was just a futile struggle.

The power that entangled her whole body like an invisible chain did not weaken, but rather grew stronger and pulled her into the air.

And the moment when he was forcibly dragged into the air after escaping from such a cramped underground space.

“…?!”

Rubber opened his eyes.

Because I finally realized.

That there was no reason why Charlotte was able to accurately find out where she was hiding among the many bases in Detroit in the first place.

because this moment.

Because it wasn’t just Charlotte and Rubber that were in the air.

The upper part of the dozens of floors of the base where she had been hiding a while ago.

A car on the road around.

Roadside trees uprooted.

The unfortunate ones in the building.

The sight of them all floundering in the air as if they had lost weight.

And…

…as well as the countless fragments of buildings filling the sky and the figures of people screaming.

informed her

Charlotte didn’t know where the rubber was.

They just ‘picked up’ and found every building within a radius of several kilometers.

“You lifted an entire city… just to catch me?”

“To say one city is an exaggeration. It’s only a few hundred blocks at most.”

“this… Crazy…”

Hundreds of blocks.

Even if you roughly count the buildings floating in the air, there are at least tens of thousands.

Although it is beyond common sense to dismantle and lift a pile of buildings that weigh more than a few mountains by weight alone into the air without touching them.

Watching Charlotte talk about this scene as if it were nothing, Rubber was stunned.

“Anyway, I found the rat, so there’s no need to play house anymore.”

Whether the rubber is lost or not.

Charlotte didn’t care.

It seems like the boring game is over.

I just raised my right hand on the armrest.

And so, the moment she lightly grabbed the slender hand that was wrapped in the sleek bodysuit.

『Seventy-two types of martial arts Gujeolgi

天龍登祚』

Woowooung.

Faint patterns appear on her bodysuit.

Steam gushing out from parts covered with mechanical parts such as shoulders, elbows and wrists.

change has begun

Deed deed deed deed.

Numerous buildings that were floating in the air not long ago, cars and people landed on them again.

It’s a descent, not a fall.

It was a quick yet soft landing, like a dandelion seed that was blown away by the wind and then came back down again.

Even the change did not end only at the landing.

Roadside trees that had been dug up went back to their original places, and the surrounding soil covered their roots.

The wreckage of the building that had been ripped off was put together as it was, and even the gaps became mushy, as if melting, and then hardened into one.

The dented bumper of the car was smoothed out again, and the cracks on the windows were completely gone.

when such a short time has passed.

There were no buildings left over Detroit.

Everything was restored to its original state…

No, rather, only the scenery of the city, which was cleaner than before, was spread out as if it had just been built.

Because I couldn’t believe the sight.

At least I came down to the ground again.

It took a while to make a similar expression while watching the citizens of Detroit, whose faces were hardened with more mesmerized faces than when they were floating in the sky.

Rubber slowly turned his head.

And the cause of this situation.

Looking at Charlotte, who is making a trivial expression as if she has finished cleaning, despite having done all of this.

shuddered.

Because that’s when I understood.

Like a child playing by destroying a sandcastle on a sandy beach.

Even the feat of destroying the Liberation Brigade was nothing more than playing house to Charlotte.

Unapologetically arrogant.

Although frighteningly self-indulgent.

Can’t even blame it.

Watching her figure that made her feel the gap as a natural species, Rubber finally realized.

only in human form.

After all, this isn’t human.

Strong beyond common sense.

An existence that even ignores reason.

And Rubber knew well what these things were called.

“…this monster.”

Even after hearing what should have been an insult.

without even moving.

Charlotte smiled.

“A monster.”

clap.

Even if it’s languid.

more exhausting.

Taking over the curse of rubber.

He raised the rifle he was holding in one hand and aimed it at her forehead.

Charlotte murmured with a trivial face.

“That sounds familiar.”

Taang!!!

Liberation Brigade

After the Iron Age opened.

It was the moment when the criminal organization that had taken over the darkness of the world by encroaching on the vacancy of the Seven Dragons was destroyed.

* * *

“The Liberation Brigade will not completely collapse.”

lifting a teacup

Li Qingyu spoke calmly.

“As long as there is even one ghost left, the Liberation Brigade will continue, and if all the ghosts exist, even Charlotte will not be able to destroy the Liberation Brigade.”

“The evaluation of the Li Qingyu Liberation Brigade is high.”

“Because it is better to overestimate than underestimate.”

“…I agree with that.”

While tilting her head, Ainsha eventually admitted that Li Qingyu’s words had some truth.

Whether it’s the Black Dragon Clan fighting behind the scenes.

Whether it’s the white dragon clan that runs away.

We could sympathize with the fact that it is better to be vigilant than to be vigilant against the enemy as we are fighting the weakest of the Seven Dragons together.

It would be a way of thinking that other clans, especially the Golden Dragon clan, would never understand.

“Anyway, you won’t have to worry about Charlotte right now.”

Still, Li Qingyu did not consider the possibility that Charlotte would go wrong with the Liberation Brigade.

Even if all the ghosts of the Liberation Brigade were gathered, if it was Charlotte, it would be possible to get her body out.

I don’t know if the specter of the number 1 rank comes forward…

‘It probably won’t happen.’

Li Qingyu thought to himself.

Even if the Liberation Brigade were in danger of life and death, there would be no chance of a leader in the rankings.

So, she’s worried about two things.

One is what the liberation brigade could do if all of them rushed into it, but Charlotte’s life would be in danger.

And the other one…

“…it’s just a headache that Charlotte is overwhelmingly ahead of me in this competition.”

In case of destroying the Liberation Brigade.

How much will Limon’s scales measure the stake.

And who and how Charlotte will use her powers to buy shares.

Li Qingyu couldn’t help but sigh as his head was getting complicated just thinking about it.

Just because Charlotte, who had destroyed the Liberation Brigade, met Limon, there were too many things for her to consider.

“I can’t help it. It is inevitable that Charlotte will meet Lee. It just happens that something will happen someday.”

“It’s inevitable… that’s an accurate expression.”

It’s time to nod your head.

Li Qingyu suddenly stopped tilting the teacup.

Then, looking at Ainsha, who was carelessly messing around with Krembo, he opened his mouth.

“By the way, Ainsha.”

“I speak. I am listening.”

dead pan.

blunt attitude.

But it can never be said to be the same as usual.

Looking at a white-haired girl who exudes an enchanting scent that you can’t pretend to know even if you try to ignore it.

Li Qingyu chuckled.

“Is it necessary for you to smell good?”
