Solo Swordmaster - Chapter 967

#967. You only get one chance

* * *

In the last half year.

Humanity has become accustomed to fighting monsters.

No, it was closer to saying I had to get used to it.

Whether women, the elderly, rich or poor, those who could not adapt to the monsters that only preyed on them died.

And among them, the most familiar were, of course, the National Guard.

From the time I woke up in the morning

Until I close my eyes at night.

Half a year to continue fighting monsters even while dozing off in the middle of the night.

Originally, most of them were conscripts, but they were reborn as veterans without realizing it.

It was to the point where he joked that he would be able to enjoy a leisurely meal tonight in the underworld rather than being scared no matter how many monsters appeared.

“…What is that?”

nonetheless at this moment.

The National Guard had no choice but to put on a puzzled expression.

The monsters who suddenly started to wander around at the moment when they thought their offensive had slowed down.

And the appearance of a truly bizarre-looking black monster that appeared from the distant back of such a monster stunned them.

because I knew

That ‘that’ is different.

The experience of dealing with many monsters.

The reaction of the monsters as if they were frightened after seeing that monster.

Above all, the survival instinct that detects danger that has been honed in a long struggle.

That monster was telling me as soon as I saw it that it wasn’t something that could be dismissed as just a weird monster.

And what soon happened proved that intuition.

Awesome!

“Did you eat the monster?”

“No, wait. Rather, that figure…”

“Everybody get down!”

Open your big mouth.

Swallow the monster that shuddered.

The defense forces widened their eyes as they saw the monster’s belly swell as if tasting it slowly.

The moment the monster opened its big mouth again with the officer’s urgent cry.

Aaaaaaaaaagh!

“Aaaaaagh!”

red light flashes

A lot of monsters are torn apart.

A corner of the defense line was completely blown away.

A line of defense that had blocked endless attacks from monsters for months by adding tactic and barriers to the techniques of the spirits.

The layered area, which was over several kilometers wide, could not withstand a single blow and collapsed.

So they had to know.

“That absolute self-class…!”

Same absolute class.

At the very least, there was a monster right in front of them that had to prepare for annihilation without the help of those close to the realm of superhumans.

And it wasn’t just one line of defense where that happened.

all over the world.

It was because 666 monsters that popped out from all dungeons at the same time were attacking the nearby defense line.

That’s why the defense forces desperately hoped for a desperate fight against monsters, including monsters.

The seven princesses of the Seven Dragons.

Or a natural disaster.

Anyone can help.

If not, the second day of despair will begin.

* * *

“….”

The Himalayas.

A mountain range called the roof of the world thanks to its remote height of 8,000 meters above sea level.

Among them, the silver-haired woman standing with a sword at the top of Everest, the most towering one, felt it.

The monsters that attacked the defense line.

The despair of the defense forces cornered.

The voices of those wishing for a miracle.

And she was one of the very few beings capable of causing the miracle just by swinging her sword.

But she didn’t.

Rather, even the sword he had wielded until now had stopped and he was quietly keeping quiet.

It wasn’t just confusion she felt.

Including an aura as evil and powerful as all 666 monsters that appeared to shake the world’s providence.

Kurung Kururureung!

After a while.

A thunderclap roars.

That’s why she wasn’t shaken even when dark clouds suddenly gathered in the clear sky.

As she quietly waited, the dark clouds that covered the sky grew bigger and bigger and thundered louder.

The moment when the wall power reached its peak.

The dark clouds parted left and right.

A bloody cloud appeared.

No it wasn’t a cloud. If it was an ordinary cloud, there would be no way a monster bigger than a house could ride on it.

Even more so if that youkai had a palanquin on its back.

“…Are you precious as expected?”

“Whoop whoop. Yes, the main seat has returned.”

On the back of the youkai, which naturally landed on the snow as the bloody clouds dispersed.

The man in the black dragon robe smiled deeply as he looked at the silver-haired woman standing quietly at the top of the snowy mountain.

“Swordsman.”

one time to her

again to the princesses.

Even though I was killed in succession.

Nonetheless, he came back.

Even death is not the end, and he gets stronger every time he reincarnates, so he was always called the strongest monarch except for the regressive monarch.

ex-lord.

Anastasia calmly accepted the existence of the Heavenly Demon.

There was no reason to be surprised at the resurrection of another since she had already returned to death herself.

So instead of being agitated.

she asked instead.

“What do you want from a concubine?”

“You are asking the obvious.”

It seems like a very trivial question.

with a smile on his lips.

The Heavenly Demon looked at Anastasia with bleak eyes.

“What I want from you is determined by revenge.”

It wasn’t something unexpected.

Among the monarchs, he was especially proud.

In a sense, it was only natural that he came to seek revenge on the woman who killed him, just like he did in the sword gun in the past.

All she wanted to know was one thing.

“If the purpose is to avenge the concubine, what is the reason for throwing the world into chaos?”

“It’s a trivial request from those who helped me return.”

“…Do you mean that the chaos and destruction of this world are trivial to you?”

“It is true.”

“…”

“The creation and destruction of all things is inevitable. The world is infinite anyway, and destruction will call for a new birth, so what is the reason to be entangled in trivial things like this?”

It wasn’t just bullshit.

reincarnate every time you die

traveling through many worlds.

These were the words of the realization of an immortal who lived a long time watching the rise and fall of countless people.

But at the same time it was an absurd madness.

It was something that could only be said by a madman who regarded the world and mankind as weed bugs that could be trampled on at any time.

“Is that so…”

I heard that.

after a brief silence.

Anastasia nodded.

Then, slowly lifting the long sword, he loosened the bandages around his eyes.

“Then the concubine will stop you.”

“You can do whatever you want.”

No matter how long he has lived, he knows the value of the world and knows the people who have protected mankind.

Seeing her with a sword as his disciple and bride.

The Heavenly Demon smiled grimly.

So…

their fight resumed.

* * *

Be honest.

Anastasia could not be said to be perfect now.

The fatigue of continuously swinging the sword, skipping the erosion to prevent the monster wave for half a year, was piled up in your mind and body.

torn hands.

bloody feet.

throbbing muscles.

Even the dull consciousness there.

No matter how much she was a sword master, it was difficult for her to demonstrate even half of her skills in her current state.

On the other hand, the Heavenly Demon is a reincarnated monarch.

He became stronger every time he died.

Even when he was resurrected before, he showed the majesty of overwhelming several princesses at once with a sword gun.

How much stronger he must have become now that he died then and came back to life.

She didn’t even know the answer.

But I could intuit.

Far from getting ready to fight.

Just sitting in a palanquin.

Because that alone gave me a terrifying and evil energy that gave me goose bumps on my skin.

That the current reincarnated monarch was a formidable enemy who could never be guaranteed a victory even if she was perfect.

‘Is there only one chance?’

so more calmly.

Anastasia calmed down.

She was the only one who would be at a disadvantage if she dragged her into a long-term battle now that she was exhausted.

In this situation, the only way to increase the odds even a little was to decide everything with a single blow.

Of course, it wasn’t easy.

If you’re an ordinary absolute, you wouldn’t know.

To kill the Heavenly Demon, who must have already gained power comparable to that of a sword master, with one blow.

Unless it was a swordsman…

No, it was such a difficult task that even a swordsman wouldn’t know if it was possible.

But Anastasia was not worried about the impossible.

She’s a sword master.

any rugged difficulties.

No matter how impossible it seems.

It was because he was a being who chose his own fate by slashing with his own sword.

Thus, she raised her sword to the limit and harmonized it with the flow of psionics flowing through her body.

The thin eyelids open.

The moment silver eyes were revealed.

Stand tall

– the world.

It’s frozen.

It is the pinnacle of blunt swords.

without moving by itself.

Stop the world’s time instead.

It was a sword master who could cut even light with the slowest sword, and she was a swordsman who could use it because she inherited the blood of the silver dragon clan.

I don’t know if it’s the Silver Dragon Princess who can handle time.

Even for the same sword master, it was next to impossible to avoid her sword in this frozen world.

Besides, her swordsman wasn’t over yet.

Kururrureung!

slowly.

every time the sword moves.

The frozen world shakes.

Storms, thunderbolts, and frost swirled around her sword.

A sword master is a being who grows up in deathly struggle.

And since she was resurrected by Wanderer, she escaped, searched for Limon, and stopped the monster wave, and she continued to fight.

A state that I could only reach because I had that experience.

Purity that cuts movement.

Freeze that cuts to a halt.

Even though it is the same Jeongcheongyeongbronze sword, it contains a new swordsmanship completed by weaving two swordsmanships located on the opposite sides into one.

The moment she swung her sword.

『Jeongcheon Kyung Bronze Sword Geomgyeol

Even if the world stops, the sword moves.

世界停劍動』

….

Quietly.

Heaven and earth split apart.

No, it’s time to diverge.

A huge sword that could cause countless natural disasters was concentrated on a single sword and unfolded.

Its power is absolutely absolute.

Of course, it could not be blocked by the body of the swordsman or the sword of swordsmanship.

It was an absolute killer blow that was close to impossible to even avoid in that it was unfolding in a world where time itself had stopped.

Seruk.

“…!”

– No, I had to.

in that frozen time.

The Heavenly Demon holds a cold sneer.

If only I hadn’t suddenly held out one hand.

Even in the sudden situation, Anastasia did not stop.

Although he didn’t expect it, he just swung the sword with the power to cut through heaven and earth just as he had been prepared for, and

the moment Anastasia’s slowly unfolding sword collided with the terrible-looking artisan protruding from the Heavenly Demon’s palm.

The natural disasters are gone.

The stopped time flows again….

Pug!!!

The blood splattered from the slender woman’s body, which bounced back dozens of meters, dyed Everest’s ice cap red.
