Solo Swordmaster - Chapter 975

#975. I ate well

* * *

When dealing with immortality.

The most standard method is sealing.

Either put them in an eternal sleep, bind them with unbreakable chains and bury them underground, or harden them into concrete and throw them into the deep sea.

Even if you don’t kill it, it’s as good as dead…

No, there are countless ways to make it worse than dead.

That’s why beings who were sealed in ancient times often appear in all kinds of myths and legends.

However, if that invulnerable god has great power, sealing becomes exponentially more difficult.

An immortal strong enough to know that the seal itself was a weakness would have some way to avoid it.

It would be even more so if it was a constellation that had invaded numerous worlds for a long time.

Risk of breaking the seal.

The burden of maintaining the seal.

Points that require complex preparation, etc.

Considering various factors, in fact, sealing could be said to be the lowest option.

Then there was no need to ask what the best course of action was.

sword.

From cause and effect to providence.

The sword master’s will to cut down whatever he wants.

In fact, the Sword Demon Vlad’s sword had the power to pierce through space and destroy even souls.

If another sword master used his sword, he would be able to give the reincarnation lord eternal death, just as Limon stopped the return of the regressive lord.

Especially now that we know that the secret of immortality of the reincarnated monarch lies in his immortal spirit.

The problem is that they are not sword masters.

Even if it is possible to exert power that overwhelms even the Constellation by unfolding the Daera Extinction Formation, that is the end in the end.

They just beat the Heavenly Demon.

His immortal spirit could not be destroyed.

Constellations that ate up all the possibilities of a world and became their own providence are virtually immortal and infinite.

It was because of this that even powerful and wise races like the dragons and fairies were eventually destroyed by the Constellation.

A sword master who can even cut constellations.

In particular, there was a reason why Limon was special.

However, the Constellation was not easy enough to capture him alive and ask the Sword Master to cut his throat.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t use this best solution either.

That’s why Li Qingyu thought.

The last way to kill the Heavenly Demon.

I don’t know if it’s a different constellation.

A method that would work for the guardians of the rolling cycle of reincarnation who don’t have a zodiac sign and change bodies.

―The method of deliberately revealing a gap and eating away the original spirit the moment he digs into his inner self.

[Are you going to eat me?]

“Yes.”

As if I heard something I couldn’t hear.

Looking directly at the distorted Heavenly Demon, Li Qingyu smiled.

“I’ve already done something similar.”

seven dragons.

Like the Heavenly Demon, they are the ancestors of the girls who aimed for resurrection in a different body.

Of course, the method of the girls who have repeated reincarnation with the eggs they laid themselves is close to reincarnation.

Unlike the Heavenly Demon’s reincarnation art, which steals the soul and body of others without hesitation, it followed the natural law, but the degree of perfection was low.

But in some ways.

They were beings similar to the Heavenly Demon.

Li Qingyu had already eaten his ancestor, the Wei Black Dragon God, to complete the dragon’s blood.

Even if it was only a residual thought unlike the original spirit of the Heavenly Demon, and eventually it was the result of being absorbed by her, the owner of the soul.

And more than once done.

There’s no reason you can’t do it twice.

After seeing Li Qingyu talking calmly, his face distorted even more.

The Heavenly Demon opened her mouth.

[Foolish…!]

[Foolish, foolish, foolish!]

[You dare to not even know my subject, it’s even unwise!]

If a dog that doesn’t know anything barks at a tiger, I’d rather laugh at that ignorance.

However, Li Qingyu, who had already figured out who he was and what he had done, angered the Heavenly Demon.

[No other Constellation would dare to say such an absurd remark to me!]

[You, who have eaten countless worlds and mastered all the martial arts of the universe for billions of years ago, will you eat away?]

[Something like a mortal who hasn’t lived even a hundred years Do you really think that’s possible!]

That was an insult.

it was a mockery

it was ignored

In reality, even if you get hit by the combined efforts of the seven princesses, it’s still a vessel thing.

Originally, it was an happening that occurred because he was in a state where he could only use a very small piece of his mighty power and knowledge.

Even if Li Qingyu stopped his own erosion, it was a miracle worthy of being called.

But you’re going to eat yourself?

As the Heavenly Demon, it was something that even made her feel insulted.

However, Li Qingyu’s answer to his anger was simple.

“You’ll know if you try.”

I can tell if it’s long or short.

The emotion disappeared from the Heavenly Demon’s face as she glared at Li Qingyu as she spoke with a smile.

After burning hot like fire, the anger that became cold like ice made him cool.

[…That’s good, insect-like girl.]

[The things that originally belonged to me were made part of me and allowed me to be saved, but you won’t have that chance.] [

Instead, let me experience all the pain in the world endlessly until the end comes. I will do it for you.]

[Regret that foolishness for the rest of your life.]

Ku-gu-gu-gu-gung.

That moment.

A dark red haze bloomed around the Heavenly Demon.

The haze, made of starlight that was red like blood and above all ominous, exploded in size.

To push away the darkness that was wriggling around and oppressing the Heavenly Demon.

No, it wasn’t pushing.

Like ink staining a blank sheet of paper.

Or like a poison that spreads through your veins.

The haze dyed the darkness bloody and tried to eat away even Li Qingyu’s mind and soul.

‘A trifling trick…!’

The darkness was not easily eroded by the haze, perhaps because they had some trick in preparation for losing their bodies.

But the Heavenly Demon was cynical.

This is a spiritual world, not reality.

It was a place where strength of spirit and strength of spirit were more important than force.

whatever tricks you’ve prepared.

Once you have penetrated.

It was impossible for her to stop herself.

Just as an ant cannot defeat an elephant no matter how many martial arts it learns.

It was because there was a fundamentally insurmountable gap between him, who had lived more than eons, and Li Qingyu, a mortal who had only lived less than 100 years.

Ssssss.

…no, I had to.

But as time goes by.

It was the Heavenly Demon whose face gradually hardened.

It was because his own bloody haze had not at all eroded the darkness in which Li Qingyu was moving.

However, unlike the Heavenly Demon, who was agitated by the fact, Li Qingyu smiled as if it was a natural result.

“You look like you don’t understand.”

[…What tricks did you do?]

“I didn’t do anything very big. It’s just that my soul is as deep as yours.”

[Bullshit!]

“It’s bullshit… you might think so. You must have lived an incomparably longer life than me.”

Seeing the angry Heavenly Demon.

Li Qingyu nodded slightly.

And he continued with a softer smile.

“But just because you live longer doesn’t make anyone stronger.”

[…!]

“Especially if you’ve only experienced victories and glory all your life.”

[What do you think you know about the principal?]

“I don’t know about your past, but I do know about the reincarnated monarch.”

ex-lord.

Every time he died, he came back stronger.

However, it was nothing more than actually re-experiencing a past life, not a previous life, and recovering strength and memories as the degree of erosion increased.

In other words, the reincarnated monarch could be said to be a piece of the past in which the watchman of the rolling cycle of reincarnation lived.

“I knew it when I saw him. All of your power and glory is full of luck and chance.”

The Reincarnated Lord has always been victorious and strong in the world where he believed he was reincarnated.

It means that the life of the watchman of the past rolling reincarnation was the same.

innate talent.

prepared in advance.

A crisis that can be overcome.

A powerful enemy that can be defeated.

It is like the protagonist of a heroic story who has been promised a destiny of success since he was born.

“I can tell just by looking at the martial arts you write. Your skills belong to the strong to overwhelm the weak. The group is missing to fight enemies stronger than themselves.”

“Since you were born, you must have always been an overwhelming force and a predator.”

“And thanks to that, there is something decidedly lacking in your life.”

whether it is fate

Or is it luck?

Or is it just a coincidence?

Even Li Qingyu did not know the answer.

But, of course, he had been on a winning streak even before he became a Constellation.

Even after becoming a Constellation, there was something missing in the life of the Heavenly Demon, who always used expedients to win with overwhelming power.

“—just suffering and despair.”

The Heavenly Demon tried to object.

Do you know how many times you have experienced the shame of defeat and how many hardships you have suffered during your long life?

But he couldn’t.

“Have you ever drank muddy water?”

“Have you ever gone through the ordeal of having to drink even water from a pit because it’s so muddy and dirty?”

“And do you know the despair of having to give nothing but muddy water to a colleague who was mortally wounded while protecting you?”

The night is wriggling.

Darkness subsides.

Shadows swirl.

The darkness that had been blocking the bloody haze began to stir again and tighten the Heavenly Demon.

“Have you ever looked through the trash can?”

“Have you ever endured a month hiding among rotting blood and corpses to survive?”

“Do you know the heartbreaking feeling of seeing fellow countrymen fighting each other for just a handful of food amid starvation?”

The Heavenly Demon resisted.

I tried to block the darkness by drawing out the power of the stars as much as possible and adding the power of the bloody haze.

But to no avail.

The pitch black, thick and sticky like rotten oil, eroded the haze and slowly closed the distance with him.

“Have you ever lost everything in a fight where defeat was not acceptable?”

“Have you ever felt that you couldn’t go crazy because you had to take responsibility for your mistake even though you regretted it so badly?”

“Have you ever harbored a grudge against hatred, hate, hate, hate, hatred, even if the whole world is to be burned?”

Nonsense.

There can be no

I have star power.

Infinite power accumulated by devouring hundreds and thousands of worlds.

But why?

why?

“―Have you ever personally destroyed the world other than playing around in the name of salvation?”

That moment.

The Heavenly Demon hardened.

“You don’t know defeat.”

“Likewise, I don’t know despair.”

“That is why you are eaten by me.”

irreversible defeat.

Despair to overcome.

It’s like a gamer who gets angry when a game character dies, but tries again and succeeds or gives up because it’s trivial.

Even before becoming a Constellation.

Even after becoming a Constellation.

He who has lived in easy mode never knows true despair.

Those who shed tears of blood and want to die, but have never died and have never risen from insurmountable despair, can never eat themselves.

It wasn’t because of Li Qingyu’s declaration.

Because I finally realized.

The identity of this darkness that cannot be stopped no matter how much the power of the stars is poured.

Hatred, resentment, despair, regret, grief, anger, self-blame, and all kinds of negative emotions and obsession, such as madness of murder, were created.

That a terrible malice, enough to destroy an entire world, was baring its teeth at him.

[…What is it.]

And the center of the darkness.

Seeing the girl with a peaceful smile in the whirlpool of malice that even transcendentalists feel terrible, the Heavenly Demon involuntarily cried out.

[What the hell are you!!!]

The girl didn’t bother to answer that question.

I just moved my eyes slightly.

[…!]

And that moment.

The Heavenly Demon watched.

Although it is black and beautiful like a black pearl.

Eyes that are deeper and duller than the darkness in all directions.

The ruin of all that loomed in it.

Of course, the scenery of the destroyed world was already familiar to him who had lived an eternal life as a Constellation.

But what was in the girl’s eyes was different.

more terrible

much more desperate.

Seeing the shadow of destruction that made even the Constellation feel chills, the Heavenly Demon finally remembered it.

The reason why he originally became a Constellation.

And instead of creating a constellation, the purpose of coveting power over and over again in previous lives.

After living a long time, the feelings that I thought I had forgotten before I knew it and the culprit that made me feel it.

[You can’t…!]

Kwajik!

But fortunately.

He didn’t have to despair any more.

The darkness that destroyed the bloody haze at once eventually swallowed it whole.

The girl quietly opened her mouth as she saw the vacant seat of the Heavenly Demon, whose screams and cries had disappeared without a trace, buried in malice.

“As expected, it tastes really disgusting.”

I didn’t even expect it in the first place.

It’s like I didn’t know it would be like this.

A gentle sigh.

“But…”

But after that.

Raise one hand.

licking her slightly curved lips.

The noble princess, who inherited the noble lineage of the dragon, bowed politely in accordance with the formality.

“I ate well.”
