Solo Swordmaster - Chapter 944
#944. Hey, are you strong?
* * *
Fafnir’s headquarters.
As befits the largest conglomerate in terms of financial power among the Seven Dragon Group, the building was equipped with all kinds of facilities.
Even compared to Leviathan, some parts were more fancy and luxurious.
This was the case, for example, in special haze layers deep underground.
Not only is one floor an entire gymnasium, but all sides are made of thick spirit alloy and designed to absorb shock to the upper and lower floors.
The amount of money spent to create this haze layer could have been enough to build another headquarters building.
If it’s a waste, it’s a huge waste.
But it was also natural.
This is originally a facility exclusively for Charlotte.
It was a training room made for the strongest princess of the Seven Dragons to train the seventy-two kinds of martial arts.
In fact, it is a training room.
If the entrance is closed, even the absolute cannot easily enter, so this space can be called a fortress.
But at this very moment.
The haze layer was a mess.
Of course, the walls made of elemental alloy that can block shells are full of knife marks.
In some places, even the ceiling collapsed or the walls were completely cut off.
In the middle of such a haze layer.
in a rare intact place.
Limon was sitting cross-legged.
The image of him with his eyes closed while holding the mighty sword on his lap is truly immovable.
It was so quiet and calm that it reminded me of a Buddha statue that had been guarding the temple for hundreds of years rather than a living person.
Like that…
time passed.
No movement, no breathing, no pulse.
The cool air becomes heavier.
Until a drop of dew formed on the ceiling.
The moment the dew suddenly fell on Limon’s head, who was immersed in silence.
squeak.
The dew parted.
No, the world is divided.
Before he knew it, the sword in Limon’s hand stopped, splitting everything in the haze layer left and right centered on the split dew.
From time to space thoughts.
literally everything.
“Huh…”
After letting out a deep breath.
Limon just opened his eyes.
Then, while staring at his sword, he quietly opened his mouth.
“…As expected, is it impossible to do more than this?”
It’s been a few weeks since I started training.
Dealing with the two students alternately is the default.
Sometimes, he pushed himself to the point of sparring with the two at once.
Thanks to that, now I can get the upper hand while receiving the combined efforts of the two.
It is truly an amazing feat.
Considering that it was difficult to determine the odds of winning against two or more opponents until the sword masters were resurrected, this was an amazing growth.
However, Limon’s expression was not satisfactory.
In fact, the reason he was able to grow so rapidly was because of his experience so far rather than training.
It was the experience of fighting to the death with sword masters.
It was natural.
A life-and-death confrontation is the basis for growth.
Even more so, if the opponent was the same sword master, it was inevitable that he would somehow grow.
Because it was a fight between sword masters that if they didn’t become stronger during the fight, they would die.
In the end, unlike the sparring with Anastasia and Suri, who couldn’t overcome the level of martial arts.
‘I can’t say that there is no result of training, but…’
Of course, sparring.
A sword master is a sword master.
Thanks to fighting with them, I was able to organize the realizations I had gained from fighting to the death.
Now, without having to use Plato’s carving knife, being able to mix and match other swords freely was definitely the result of training.
But…
‘It’s not overly ambitious to want to grow rapidly in just a few dozen days after getting old.’
Limon smiled bitterly.
Get enlightenment through meditation.
Whether you overwork your body to death.
Becoming strong with one stone is a heroic story or comic book, but in reality, it was infinitely close to impossible.
Especially if you are a superhuman absolute.
Sword Master is no exception.
Growing up in a desperate struggle means that it is difficult to grow stronger unless there is a life-threatening crisis. In fact
, it was to the point that I wondered if there were more achievements gained through the recent few years of fighting than the decades
after the Demon God War in Limondo… no, the last hundreds of years of training.
Of course, that rapid growth was only possible thanks to the foundation built up over hundreds of years and the power of Seven Arcs.
That, too, is slowly reaching its limit.
Now he had reached the wall.
And even after hundreds of years of training, it’s hard to be confident in your growth any longer.
If you fight over and over again with a strong person who can threaten your life, you may be able to cross the wall in one fell swoop
…
You must cultivate to come back alive.
It’s contradictory to risk your life to become stronger.
It was complete foolishness in that it could even cause irreparable injuries in the process.
To be honest, I’ve only been lucky so far, because I’ve suffered crippling injuries a few times while fighting sword masters.
In the first place, there were hardly any opponents he could fight against in the world now.
‘I don’t know if it will be okay.’
Limon clicked his tongue.
Unknown territory beyond the gate.
What kind of world would it be and how many constellations would lurk there?
It was a place where even he could not be sure of his return, as even the Fairy Queen did not know about it.
‘…If I had a dragon sword, I wouldn’t have to worry about this.’
So it was.
The reason why he let out a sigh while stroking the mighty sword.
I searched the place where the dungeon collapsed, but in the end, I couldn’t find the dragon sword.
Of course, the sword of the river magic dragon is a demonic sword.
How dangerous is that power.
As he knew all too well, he deliberately asked Syr to seal the dragon sword in his sword gun, keeping away from that power.
But that also depends on the situation.
As much as the respect of the whole world is at stake.
Whatever could be used, in this situation, the power of the river magic dragon sword was very disappointing.
Also making yourself stronger.
Borrowing the power of arms.
In this difficult situation, what can I do to increase my win rate even a little?
Limon, thinking over and over again, smiled bitterly.
‘I’m just thinking about this in the midst of this.’
If the world ends tomorrow
Normally, I would spend the rest of my time with a loved one.
However, in the midst of this, instead of whispering love with the two resurrected disciples, he only shares the sword and makes the seven princesses work.
Far from having a good time.
With many of the brides he hadn’t seen in weeks, he couldn’t help but feel remorse for the food.
‘…In the first place, from the time he had 9 brides, he became trash, not enough to be called a bastard.’
nevertheless.
He couldn’t stop practicing.
Even if it’s blocked by a wall.
Of course, getting stronger now is the best thing that can increase humanity’s chances of survival.
Furthermore, it was because he knew that it was the only way to save his brides.
He is the protector of mankind.
Because he was a groom with a bride to protect at the same time.
‘In the end, this must be my karma.’
taking heart
Limon closed his eyes again.
Even if it’s blocked by a wall.
In order to reduce the anxiety factor by polishing the swordsmanship even a little more.
But after a while.
He had no choice but to open his closed eyes.
Beep.
[Hey, mother? Are you there?]
After a small mechanical sound.
What echoed through the haze layer was a hesitant call.
After waking up to hear that voice, which is a little inaccurate because it came from the speaker, but is so characteristic that it is difficult to mistake it.
Limon twisted the space.
Phaging.
“Heheuk!”
After the haze layer disappears.
A doorway appeared in front of you.
To be precise, seeing the girl in the baggy military uniform stunned in front of him, Limon put on an even more bizarre expression.
“What is your little entourage doing here?”
“Because of the majority result, I was pushed out of the jjambab….”
“…?”
“Ah… that’s not it.”
A while to wander alone.
Nadia, who was watching Limon nervously, finally closed her eyes and said.
“Hey, mother-in-law. I have very urgent and important business to do. Can you give me some time right now?”
“now? right now?”
“yes.”
hear that
Limon was puzzled.
Why is he so engrossed in training that he is silent?
He couldn’t have known the reason, but it was because he had no idea what was the reason to urgently call him.
“Well, if your little aide says that.”
“Then I’ll guide you…”
But the worry was short-lived.
Everyone is busy right now.
If Nadi, who should be busy with work after Hasneti in Africa, had to come to see her, there would be a reason.
Under the permission of Limon, who judged inwardly.
Nadia guided him.
Of course, the guide was all about entering the complex password, card key, and fingerprint after getting into the elevator and pressing the floor number.
‘Hmm, did you strengthen Fafnir’s security?’
It was simpler until a few days ago.
As the situation is unstable, it seems that the head office has also carried out construction.
When Limon thinks inwardly.
Nadia, restless, hesitantly opened her mouth.
“Um, mother-in-law?”
“Why, little entourage?”
“Please take good care of me…”
“…?”
“No, that’s okay.”
Contrary to her clumsy appearance, why is Nadia, who was subtly brittle, acting like she’s missing a screw today?
At the end of stumbling further while receiving his questionable gaze.
Naida finally said, slightly avoiding his gaze.
“Hey, are you doing your best?”
“…what?”
ding.
“Because the guidance is over! I’ll be gone now!”
What are you trying to do?
No time to ask in detail.
I blinked for a moment as I saw the back of Nadia who had fled through the wide open elevator door.
Limon scratched his cheek.
‘Hmm, you mean destroying the dungeon?’
Of course, the life of the whole family, including the princess, was at stake in the success of the plan, so it was natural for him to support himself, but… Even
considering that, he was puzzled by Nadia’s attitude, which seemed peculiarly strange.
after leaving the elevator.
Limon walked down the hallway.
Nadia wouldn’t have come to see her just to give her a word of encouragement.
As there was only one road in front of the elevator, there was no reason to get lost just because the guide had run away.
So at the end of going straight ahead.
He was finally able to reach
In front of a particularly large ornate door at the end of a long hallway.
“Hmm?”
Was there a place like this in Fafnir?
Though puzzled, Limon put his hand on the door without much hesitation.
And the door, which had no handle as if it would not allow anyone to enter, opened naturally as if it had been waiting for him to touch it.
soft.
so naturally.
without even a sound.
“…”
But after opening the door.
he remained silent.
no it hardened
It is also because of the overly large space, as if the whole floor was renovated like the haze floor.
It was also because of the fog-like thick smoke rising from the various scented candles that filled the place.
All kinds of food such as cheese and chocolate fruit piled on the table and the carpet covered with petals, and all kinds of drinks including wine and whiskey.
It wasn’t because of all the luxurious facilities, including the magnificent bed and the bathtub by the window, that made it more like a facility than a piece of furniture.
Somewhere on the bed.
lying comfortably on the carpet.
Feed your brother grapes.
or take it indifferently.
Sit cross-legged and drink wine.
Or stand with your hands together politely.
Or with both feet in a large bathtub.
It was because of the people who were waiting for him there so naturally.
“…what are you guys doing here?”
“Ahaha, that’s an interesting question.”
In this situation where every minute and every second is a waste.
I was so busy that I was handling everything through video conference.
Seeing Limon, he asked without knowing why everyone was gathered without any contact.
Catherine giggled.
Then, she licked the finger that fed Ainsha the grapes like a melting ice cream stick, and smiled strangely.
“What do you think is the reason we are waiting for you ‘dressed like this’ in the middle of the night?”
