Solo Swordmaster - Chapter 711
#711. That’s the problem.
* * *
Ice Mansion.
After escaping the kulach.
A temporary shelter that Limon improvisedly sculpted to protect Ainsha and Yekathrice.
It wasn’t such a great building as it had to squeeze out the lack of dragon psionics right after a fierce battle.
Just enough to block the snow and cold.
Besides, Limon’s emergency kit was minimal.
Unlike its beautiful appearance.
Life in the ice mansion was bleak.
It was a situation where he had to warm himself with a blanket and a campfire and barely feed himself with the animals Limon had hunted and emergency food.
…Of course, Limon’s cooking skills are so excellent that he always prepared a delicacy just for that.
Still, it was clear that there was a lot missing.
Squeak.
but this moment.
The ice mansion had changed beyond recognition.
Of course, thanks to the fur of all kinds of animals and the fireplace, the whole mansion is filled with warm air.
A lot of people were busy coming and going, trying to make this mansion even a little luxurious.
leading among them.
In other words, the silver-haired maid who poured tea into a teacup.
Kana asked quietly.
“Are you really okay, Princess?”
“Yeah, this is enough.”
“If you are treated by a healer at the hospital, there is a 20% chance that you will feel better.”
“Isn’t that 80% of the time, and it’s the same here or there?”
“…”
“Huh, that’s a big deal. Aside from being good at calculations, Kana, who has only good points other than being pretty and competent, makes all these inefficient suggestions.”
“The comfort of the princess is not a matter of efficiency.”
“Well, that’s true too.”
grow up
laughing playfully
Yekathrice said.
He then slowly reached out and took a sip of the tea Kana poured for him.
“But you don’t have to worry about that. As long as you don’t go to Brazil or Rome anyway, it’s the same as the hospital or here.”
“…”
Yekathrice pointed out.
Cana couldn’t deny it.
It was true that hospitals were not much help now that all medical equipment had stopped due to the influence of demons.
…Apart from the fact that there are only two healers in the world who can help her who has lost her entire left arm anyway.
But Yekathrice didn’t care.
He just turned his head with a single smile.
“Above all, the best medicine for me is here.”
Red lips parting with an ah.
Kana, who would normally have put her favorite dessert on the spot, remained silent.
It seems so natural.
Prior to yourself, your aide.
Honey cake Медовик, layered with cream and bread, cut into bite-sized pieces.
It was because there was someone who put it in Yekathrice’s mouth.
Doing filth.
that finger.
Swallow Medovik.
With the honey cake, I ran my fingers through my tongue.
When Kana becomes even more silent as she sees Yekathrice smiling sweetly as if she has tasted heavenly delicacies.
A small hand tugged at the hem of Limon’s clothes, who had just removed a finger from her mouth.
“Lee will give it to you too.”
With or without hands.
Discrimination is not good.
A white-haired girl who opens her mouth competitively.
To such a bride, this time Limon took a crembo and put it between her pretty pink lips.
And just like Catherine did.
Ainsha also put her fingers in her mouth and grumbled.
He cut the krembo with his white teeth, mixed it with his fingers, and sucked it with his tongue.
―Including the saliva of Yekathrice that was still on that finger.
But Ainsha didn’t care.
It’s because I’m too used to it.
Or maybe it’s because of the taste.
That kind of thing seems to be good.
He was only absorbed in eating Limon’s fingers with a happy smile on his expressionless face.
And at the end of staring blankly at the princess she admired and smiled at.
Kana nodded.
“I will correct it. Princess, there is a 99% chance that staying here will help her condition improve.”
“As expected, Kana is smart.”
grow up
laughing happily
Catherine opens her mouth again to accept the dessert Limon gave her, and Ainsha waits for her turn.
In a sense, it is doubtful whether the reality is even more shocking than Yekathrice with her arm cut off, when Kana remains silent.
Limon, who was feeding the two priests alternately dessert, opened his mouth.
“You managed to find a way out of this situation. It must have been quite difficult.”
It was not wrong.
A situation where most of the electronic devices are still unavailable.
There’s not even a communicator or drone, let alone a meager means of transportation other than horses and dog sleds.
It was close to a miracle that even the silver dragon clan was able to find them in just a few days, hiding in a corner of the snowy field in preparation for any possible pursuit.
That’s why Kana calmly turned the ball around.
“80% thanks to the cooperation of the other two.”
in this difficult situation.
Even in the midst of all foreknowledge being blocked.
He served as a compass by mobilizing the foresight and intuition of the White Dragon clan.
Now, Tata is busy giving orders not only to the Shinryongdae but also to the Gwangryongdae, decorating the mansion and adjusting the defense posture.
and one more.
with two entourage.
Looking at the person who played a decisive role in finding this ice mansion.
Limon smiled bitterly.
“I didn’t know that my brother would be safe.”
“It is surprising. I don’t understand why I was the only one who was unharmed.”
while drinking tea
A man who answered calmly.
Looking at Bachemensky, Limon nodded.
Gulag, swallowed up by the pillar of darkness at the same time as the demon’s resurrection began, is truly a demon.
Aside from the surveillance of the sword masters, it was a place that was difficult to approach even for most masters and players because of the energy of demons.
But, of course, he, an ordinary human, got out of Gulag safely like this.
You even help find them.
It was strange in many ways.
But putting aside those questions, Limon asked the most important thing first.
“How is the Gulag?”
“…just like in Moscow. Inmates and guards are all unconscious.”
After Limon runs away.
In Gulag, swallowed by darkness.
Seen walking around with a torch.
Recalling over 100,000 people strewn about like corpses, Bachemensky continued with a heavy sigh.
“Perhaps thanks to the energy of the demon, no one has died yet, but they are getting weaker as time goes on.”
“I guess so.”
Limon clicked his tongue.
Probably by now, all of them are suffering from nightmares and are becoming energy sources for the demons.
It was fortunate that he was able to emit even negative emotions, but it was clear that if even that was impossible, he would be devoured by the demon.
That will be the moment the demon is resurrected.
“How much time do you think you will have?”
“I’m not a doctor, so I can’t be sure, but it’s probably a week at most.”
“A week…”
Surprisingly long for an unconscious patient, but too short of a time to prevent the Demon God’s resurrection, Limon frowned.
There are 24 Gulags alone where demons are resurrected.
Space travel is impossible.
All aircraft have stopped now.
It’s not easy to go around all those places and break the demon’s cocoon.
Considering that three sword masters were already entangled in the devil’s spell, even a few months was not enough.
So it was.
Why did Limon look puzzled at Bachemensky’s words?
“The good news is that six of them have already been resolved, so only the remaining 18 need to be dealt with.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“…yes?”
“…?”
Limon, as well as Yekathrice and Ainsha.
When Bachemensky is rather embarrassed when he sees the three bewildered people.
Kana calmly explained.
“The pillars of darkness have been disappearing for several days. We’re still investigating, but there’s an 80% chance someone is handling the gulag.”
“Did something like that happen?”
“You didn’t know?”
Everyone knows that as many as 6 pillars of the 24 darkness piercing the sky have disappeared from all over the country.
why they don’t know
Limon averted his eyes at Bachemenski’s puzzled gaze, Yekathrice giggled, and Ainsha blushed the nape of her neck expressionlessly.
He said that he had spent the past few days so dense that he didn’t even have time to look up at the sky.
Because I couldn’t speak.
So, Limon slightly changed his words.
“Anyway, you mean there are kids who are trying to stop the demon’s resurrection?”
“yes. Judging from the new arrivals, there is a 99% chance that two or more groups of absolute self-class superhumans are on the move.”
“…Two groups?”
“The processing of the columns started in two directions.”
two from the west.
four from the south.
Each one starts in no direction. Hearing Cana say
that they are moving to the center, dealing with the nearest Gulag first,
Limon made a strange expression and Yekathrice tilted her head as well.
“Are there any kids in my country who can do that?”
“Including the north?”
“Except for not there.”
“Then 99% no.”
“What is the remaining 1% probability?”
“It is possible that there was a monarch-level player, a great witch, or an adult spirit wizard that even our Okrana and KGB could not figure out.”
“Hmm, that’s it…”
Limon’s expression became more strange.
Since the days of the Soviet Union, Russia has been a land where superhumans have died.
It was a country where even common players were hard to see as each individual was monitored through the national surveillance system.
Of course, like Sergei, there may have been superhumans of the absolute class who hid their powers and abilities.
Even so, to think that not one but two of those who destroyed the Gulag, where the demon’s cocoon was located, appeared one after another in a matter of days.
It was honestly hard to believe.
“…For now, I should say it was a good thing.”
Limon murmured quietly.
It’s a bit suspicious, but in order to stop the demon, you have to borrow the front paws of the blue bird.
whatever its identity.
Having an assistant wasn’t a bad thing.
“If the west and south are being resolved, then only the east and north need to be resolved.”
If 6 Gulags have been solved, there are 18 left.
You might need to move a bit busily, but if you had a week, this was a manageable category.
But…
“Here’s the problem.”
“…Exactly, my disciples.”
Limon sighed.
He is a demon god who manipulated fate and acquired the three sword masters even before he was resurrected.
I can’t help but look at this situation.
If the demons started to actively move the three sword masters, I had no idea what kind of disaster would happen.
I’d rather take care of the disciples first.
Or find a way to evade them and break the other gulags.
It was a troubling situation in many ways.
Besides…
“Lee’s biggest problem remains.”
“What do you mean?”
“The demon god is also a god.”
“As for the disaster that happens when a god is killed, Ainsha, can’t you handle it like last time?”
“That is the problem.”
“…?”
Yekathrice tilted her head.
Limon with a puzzled expression.
To those two, Ainsha said bluntly.
“Russian Khanate is now completely covered by the barrier of the Demon God. Even if the ritual is held, the gods cannot respond.”
“I can’t believe that…”
“That’s right.”
When the demon from the past was resurrected.
Even though Limon cut the demon, Moscow did not fly away because Ainsha borrowed the power of the gods to separate the demon from providence.
What made that possible was the power of the Abyss, a decisive battle magic for the god of demons based on Tartarus.
But this time it is impossible.
what that fact means.
Ainsha said expressionlessly.
“If this problem is not resolved, at least half of Russia will be blown away the moment all 24 Gulags collapse.”
“…”
“If you catch it after being resurrected, it could fly halfway to the continent as well as Russia.”
Even if the demon is resurrected, it will be a catastrophe.
Disaster even if you prevent it from reviving.
Limon sighed at the words of Ainsha, who told him that he was in a dilemma in the mountains more than he thought.
Even though her country was on the verge of being blown away, she was grinning and begging for dessert.
Bachemensky raised his hand.
And with everyone’s eyes on it.
After a brief thought, he opened his mouth.
“For that matter, I think I might be able to find a way.”
