Solo Swordmaster - Chapter 921

#921. It’s already over

“Eh?”

It happened in an instant.

Stairs leading to the 99th floor.

To be precise, the tremendous light and roar that came out of the stair-shaped dungeon gate.

It was also the fact that the barrier of light blocking the entrance was shattered.

Seeing that the barrier that only Vlad and Suri could cut was shattered like a window, Yuna-kyung widened her eyes.

It wasn’t just Yuna.

Even the princesses who were prepared for a decisive battle.

The seven dragons that assisted them.

Because I couldn’t hide my embarrassment at this unexpected situation.

Among them, two people showed a particularly strong reaction.

It was Suri, who was running with a delightful expression on her ears with an unusual sense, and Johanna, who felt the shaking of the dungeon and hardened her face.

“…This can’t be.”

Johanna couldn’t believe it.

Double, triple, and quadruple.

Although I thoroughly prepared for all variables.

Because I didn’t want to accept that the situation I wanted to avoid the most had happened.

But apart from that disbelief, she instinctively created a curtain of light again to block the dungeon gate and raise Jinryongsunong.

It was thanks to that.

What could have prevented her from dying instantly.

『Yam Dragon Kill Sword Eating Out

You don’t need a knife to cut the world.

Jubeok.

no forebodings.

without any intermediate process.

The moment when the sound of quiet footsteps rang out.

The curtain of light shattered before it was even completed, and a single sword slashed Johanna.

Feeling the terrifying sensation of the blade piercing through the flesh, slashing even the protection of the stars that prevented the princesses who completed the dragon’s blood.

Johanna stepped out.

『Jinryongseongong 36 seconds

眞龍仙功 三十六招

Geumgangbudongbo

金剛不動步』

Pang!

The moment when the indomitable mind and body have already been assimilated to the flow of bets in the body of Geumgang-indestructible.

The body appeared in 36 places at the same time beyond the space by the foot method beyond Lee Hyeong-hwan’s stomach.

It is truly a lifesaver.

It is a skill that temporarily achieves the inner and outer bow, which is the legend of foreign work, and reaches the pinnacle of footwork, Bunhyeongheosin (分形虛身).

Blocking all attacks.

Dodging any attack.

It was a lifelong survival period in which life could be saved even in the face of death.

And, in fact, thanks to that, Johanna was able to barely dodge the attack.

But there was no price.

It was because the already tattered court uniform was split at an angle, leaving deep scars from the shoulder to the abdomen.

However, even though her immaculate skin was covered in blood, Johanna didn’t care.

no i couldn’t care

Appears in front of you before you know it.

The sight of a gray-haired man brandishing a sword made her groan.

“Swordsmith, how are you here…!”

How was he able to break through the 100 dungeon gates on each floor so quickly?

And why did he, who controls the power of the Seven Arcs, not even notice his existence until he crossed the 100 gates?

those many questions.

Johanna couldn’t even ask.

Kurrureung!

The situation in the dungeon began to shake only belatedly due to the impact of the dungeon gate being forcibly broken.

And as if it was a waste of time for them to mix their words, the sight of Limon rushing forward brandishing his sword again made her hurriedly unleash the diamond.

But she soon realized.

that it was a mistake.

『Yam Dragon Killing Sword

斬魔龍殺劍 要訣

Thunderbolts are born from slow clouds.

閃电來自慢雲』

The sword moves.

Like thunder always slower than lightning.

Or like clouds flowing through the sky.

The sword is so slow and still that if you don’t pay close attention, it feels like it’s standing still.

But it’s an illusion.

dominate the speed.

manipulating time.

moving the world

The sword master’s swordsman, who had reached the pinnacle of blunt swords, never rushed himself.

Like a cloud that spreads wider than a gale due to its slowness, or thunder that reverberates longer than a thunderbolt.

With that slow movement, Johanna cut off the 36 clones she had created using the Vajrapani method one after another, but almost simultaneously.

Chow!

“…!”

I saw that blade.

I moved to block it.

Like a dragonfly drowning in mud.

In a world where everything slows down, you can neither block nor escape, and eventually get cut by the blade and receive an incurable fatal wound.

coughing up blood

Johanna managed to move her finger on the pocket watch.

click.

and that moment.

What happened was retrograde.

The spilled blood comes back.

Cut wounds disappear.

Thus, Johanna, who managed to overcome the danger of death by turning back the physical time with the power of Cronus’ clock, broke into a cold sweat.

It wasn’t because he couldn’t avoid Limon’s sword even with the sword.

In the first place, lifesaving seconds are the last resort.

It is a means that should be used only in really dangerous moments as it can definitely save a life once.

It was only later that she realized that it was a mistake to use Keumgangbudongbo twice against the same opponent, especially Limon.

Even so, there was one reason why she couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat.

It was because I realized it only after seeing that slow sword.

Even though Limon entered the dungeon, there was no significant change in the progress of the ritual, and that’s why he didn’t notice his existence.

“Swordsmith, Seven Arks…!”

The strong magic sword that I always used.

Not even Plato’s carving knife.

Even though it is a well-made famous sword, in the end, I saw a common long sword made by humans.

Hearing Yohanna’s cry, stunned even as she desperately received the sword that was swung like lightning with the power of Jinryongseongong and Seven Arcs.

Limon was the first to speak.

“Yes, I left it.”

“why!”

“Why do you want to?”

Of course, the deep-black violin and Plato’s carving knife that I used to entrust to Sir or Yuna-kyung whenever needed.

Except for one moment, the reason why he went into the dungeon with a spare sword instead of even the strong magic sword he had kept for himself all his life.

Limon revealed with a cold smile.

“―It was because I didn’t feel good.”

“…”

Johanna was speechless.

The sudden entry into the dungeon.

The fact that I left Seven Arks behind.

And thus destroying all her preparations.

The fact that she did it with only her intuition made even her, an apostle of the stars, stunned.

“…As expected, Lee. You are my groom.”

“Wouldn’t it be convincing if I said that with an expression like that of Ainsha?”

Even the other princesses put on a look of astonishment while Yuna-kyung was picking up her ears as if she didn’t know what she was hearing.

Johanna bit her lip.

‘As expected, it doesn’t even work for him to return.’

Was Nietzsche like that?

If you look into the abyss for a long time, the abyss will also look into you.

In order to make this ritual a success, the result of repeatedly returning with the power received from Kronos’ watch from Ruler and from himself in the parallel world.

She was eventually found out.

He is the protector of mankind.

The sword master who cuts fate.

To the abyss called Limon Aspelder.

Even just by avoiding him and regressing without facing Limon directly like Ruler.

I didn’t know if it was normal.

As he slashed Ruler and absorbed a part of the Constellation that dwelled in him, he must have become more sensitive to regression now.

And that also meant that they no longer had a chance to undo their failures.

“Swordsmith, no matter how much you are, you won’t be able to stop me from unsealing the Seven Arcs.”

Still, Johanna did not give up.

Unlike Ruler, who was both a Dark Wizard and a Word Spirit, she in the parallel world couldn’t achieve the same vision as the Prometheus engine and the demon union.

I didn’t think that only Jinryongseongong would be able to deal with Limon.

Especially since this is a situation where even the princesses, including the running repairman, are looking for an opportunity to attack at any time.

Instead, she had Seven Arcs.

If you focus on holding on with everything, you will be able to buy time even against Limon.

Johanna, who finished her judgment calmly, raised the power of Jinryongseongong and Seven Arcs to block Limon’s sword.

but right after that.

She couldn’t help but wonder.

“No, it’s already over.”

“…?”

what is over

And why did Limon, who had been pouring out attacks until now, suddenly stop his sword and retreat?

Puzzled, she felt terrified at the sight of Limon spreading his left hand, not holding a sword, and tried to move reflexively.

But she was late.

Before Johanna could even respond.

Because Limon was already clenching his left hand.

To be precise, the thread that was wrapped around that finger.

Thus, the moment when the transparent gifts spread around her were wielded according to his will.

『Yam Dragon Kill Sword

Secret Technique 斬魔龍殺劍 祕術

The shapeless sword is invisible.

無形劍是隱形的

』

It was a moment.

Inspection (Blade wire).

A weapon created by Rashid al-Din Sinan, a saint who mastered magic and was the strongest assassin.

It is thinner and more transparent than a spider’s web.

Although it is more difficult to handle than any weapon.

The ‘sword’ that the sword master, whom Limon rated as the most dangerous in the world, created only for himself, was sparkling.

The thin incontinence drawn on Johanna’s neck.

No, it wasn’t just the neck.

from the waist to the arms and legs.

It was because a red line was formed along the trajectory of the passing gift.

And so, the moment a red bell suddenly fell from the tip of the gift that had been recovered in Limon’s hand.

Patter.

red blood splattered

One body collapsed.

Now, the monarch who had cornered the seven absolutes was no longer there.

There was only a lump of meat that was once called the holy lord.

“…Wow, that Munchkin scammer.”

Truly in the blink of an eye.

It was time for Yuna-kyung to stick out her tongue at the feat of Limon, who cut Johanna, who had made them suffer so much, to pieces without even having time to intervene.

A quiet laugh was heard.

“Whoops… it ended up like this.”

“It’s Mom!?”

Yuna-kyung was frightened.

A chunk of meat rolling around on the floor.

Among them, Johanna’s head suddenly opened its eyes and uttered a voice.

“I’m sorry. It was a little bit ahead.”

Limon, which he cut himself, of course.

While other princesses watched with hard faces.

Even though she was already dead, Johanna smiled, holding her own soul with the power of Faust’s quill.

“But, as I already said, even you cannot stop us from breaking the seals of the Seven Arcs.”

There was regret.

If only I had a little more time.

So, if the power of the stars within the seven princesses was fully drawn out, the work could have been completed more perfectly.

But…

“―—the ceremony was already over.”

Ever since the Creator died.

Even if it’s half success.

Because its purpose has already been achieved.

Thank you to the members of the Demiurge Guild who willingly gave their lives for the next best thing just in case and forcibly became martyrs.

Johanna smiles.

In the meantime, let’s not stop.

Rather, it was like eating the most important ‘sacrifices’ offered to the ‘altar’ called the dungeon.

The moment when the soft starlight that had been expelled from the Seven Arcs, which resonated even more intensely while floating in the air, suddenly disappeared.

“Everything according to the will of the Lord…”

Kwaaaang!

bright starlight.

covered the whole world.
