Solo Swordmaster - Chapter 984

#984. who’s next

* * *

How many days?

Or how many months?

Or how many years has it been?

Even so, it seemed that it hadn’t passed by a year, but I couldn’t be sure.

For immortals who have lived a long time without the limit of lifespan, time passes too quickly if you miss it for a moment.

Especially if you are constantly suffering from overwork without being able to sleep and eat properly for such a long time.

Still, she didn’t stop.

No, on the contrary, it raised the heat even more.

It wasn’t just because it had to be done.

Because I knew it as much as I had lived for a long time.

Life is more rewarding because it is difficult, and the more difficult it is, the sweeter and more valuable the fruits are.

And most of all…

-Because it was fun.

Exploring the unknown, accumulating knowledge, and accepting pain in order to gain new mysteries, changing even the soul, and breaking taboos.

okay.

from that distant past.

She was no good.

I have lived my life doing only what I want to do for my own pleasure.

And even though this work was one of the hardest in her life, it was all the more enjoyable.

So it was.

The reason why she was clinging only to her own goals even though the world was running towards destruction.

Of course, it wasn’t easy.

Of course, it is not enough to mobilize everything she has accumulated throughout her life to achieve her goal.

Because I had to collect three keys scattered and buried in history.

One of the most dangerous keys.

Fortunately, I had it from the beginning, which could destroy the world, and I had enough related data.

One of the hardest keys.

It, which had never been in human hands, was fortunately easy to obtain thanks to circumstances, and there were enough collaborators.

The problem is the last one.

It was the most familiar key.

That’s the crux of everything.

Even she, who had seen and experienced it for a long time, was a piece that was difficult to handle.

And it was next to impossible even for her to complete the key before it was too late in a situation where time was running out.

So she found

who will give you the key.

And with tenacious effort and tenacity, above all, enormous support and luck, we finally got the answer.

All that remains now is the finish.

There was only a little preparation to use the three keys.

“…”

So it was.

I was busy preparing for it.

Why did she suddenly raise her head?

In the turmoil of the fierce fate that I could feel because I was in the middle of the last work.

she murmured softly.

“-After all, the time has come.”

Constellation.

By devouring all the providence of one world, as a result, he gained power to rival the world alone and created his own constellation.

However, if you turn it upside down, it means that the constellations were originally living beings.

attack the dungeon.

Build strength by contracting.

Endure the ordeal until the end.

The absolute one who proved that he was worthy of salvation.

Of course, that doesn’t mean they were ordinary absolutes.

It is said that he survived until the end of an ordeal in which an entire world was destroyed by all sorts of disasters, including the monster wave.

It means that they have risen to the pinnacle in their own world.

In other words, all Constellations are originally absolute beings.

Among them, each of them was an existence that reigned as an absolute among absolutes like a sword master.

Since rising to the constellation there, they have gained even greater power and have watched and swallowed countless worlds.

Even without the power of the stars, it was possible to trample a mere human.

Chow!

“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”

…No, I believed it.

Just now.

Until this hell begins.

“Oops! Aagh!”

Binghwa clan (氷花族).

A race that can freeze anything with just a breath because it was born from an ice crystal where the spirit of winter accumulated for over 100,000 years.

He is an absolute from birth.

As long as there is cold, it is immortal.

They don’t even have the concept of lifespan, and they hold the hegemony of the world because they become stronger as time goes by.

Among them, it had the most outstanding strength and talent, so it was able to survive the tribulation of the destruction of the world and ascend to the constellation.

‘Queen of the Frozen Heart’ aroused power.

Like when, over countless ages past, a rare few of the mortals have been resurrected whenever their shells have been damaged.

But unfortunately.

That authority is not manifested.

So, instead, she tried to heal the wound by using ice magic or mythology.

Even if it is not as good as the power that was born as a species, it is a mystery that can heal any disease and wound as long as life is attached.

An injury of this magnitude could and should be treated lightly.

but.

no power whatsoever.

does not manifest

In the end, the Constellation of the Binghwa Tribe lost its life while struggling while clutching its half-cut neck.

like an insignificant worm.

And it wasn’t just her story.

Constellations with greater authority, constellations that dealt with more mysterious powers, and constellations that lived longer.

Because I couldn’t avoid becoming a sword and soul under a knife that was ruthlessly wielded.

It was unavoidable.

The more powerful you are, the better.

And the more familiar they are with all sorts of superpowers,

the more natural they are than breathing, the Constellations who have lived their lives dealing with those powers, and as soon as all the mysteries disappeared, they became mere ordinary people.

Of course, not all Constellations were like that.

“Oohhhh!”

The moment a loud cry broke out.

What came out was a huge shadow.

A giant standing over 4 meters tall and holding a heavy axe.

‘A rock heavier than a mountain’ burned both eyes with a fighting spirit.

Originally, he was a constellation that rose to the constellation after defeating countless monsters and monsters with his innate strength and an ax rather than authority or supernatural power.

No matter how much the mystery is sealed…

no, that’s why I was even more confident that I wouldn’t lose.

No matter how terrible a monster this white goblin is, it is still only a human being.

In a state where both of them could not use all mysteries, they would not be their opponents who were overwhelmingly superior in physical abilities.

In fact, his dash that shakes the ground with every step is destructive and overwhelming.

Even hundreds of troops could break through at once.

But…

Chew!

“…!”

ankle is cut

Stabbed in the hamstring in the knee.

After being forced to sit down.

Until a sharp flash of light passed by the nape of his neck.

The Constellations widened their eyes when they saw the giant’s head falling off without even swinging the huge ax properly.

However, Limon did not show any emotion.

I just muttered as if I was pathetic.

“Stupid. What’s the point of forcing yourself to use a technique your body can’t keep up with?”

A constellation that might have been a threat even to Limon if the huge body had been mysteriously strengthened.

However, his ax skill was trained on the premise that he was strengthened himself.

I had never been weak in my life, so I didn’t realize that I had to wield the ax differently when my strength was weaker than usual.

When Limon clicked his tongue at the giant who revealed his gap too easily because of that.

Wheein!

Loud machine sounds.

Rotating furiously, the muzzle pointed at him.

A mechanical life form that was created in a civilization that was more developed than the fairies, but gained an ego and destroyed the ancestor race, which was the creator, and rose to the constellation.

‘Thinking Steel of Rebellion’ was convinced even with an incomparably lower arithmetic ability than usual.

Even if the mysteries were sealed and most of the weapons were unusable, this would be able to turn that crazy swordsman into a hive.

He is the owner of the great El-Ra.

Sword Master or whatever.

At most, he could slaughter any number of primitive people wielding cold weapons, and he was a transcendentalist who had actually done it.

The moment the gun was finally fired.

thump thump.

[?!?!?!]

The ‘thinking steel of rebellion’ hardened.

fired from a rotating barrel.

No, because the bullet that should have been fired simply rolled down helplessly as soon as it came out of the muzzle.

[why…? Why!]

Kwajik!

That was the moment.

The white black light flashed.

A cold voice came from the steel body with sharp blades lodged in it.

“You lack the ability to learn.”

[…!]

“I would have told you? All mysteries before me are meaningless.”

‘Thinking Steel of Rebellion’ tried to argue.

I don’t know if it’s a gravity bomb using an interdimensional power reactor or a micro black hole missile.

Doesn’t it make sense that even a primitive level weapon using explosive acorn powder, which has no mystery at all, is sealed?

Limon said with a cold smile as if he had read the thoughts of the rebellious steel.

“Some inspiration I know said. All science comes from witchcraft, and witchcraft is, after all, just a way to disguise mystery as logic.”

[…!]

“That’s why magic that has reached its peak is no different from magic.”

burning stone.

flowing metal.

exploding powder.

With the advancement of science and civilization, a common and common substance now called coal mercury gunpowder.

But is it really common?

stone does not burn

Metal doesn’t flow.

Powder does not explode.

Is there really no mystery in a substance that violates the natural providence?

At least Plato, who was the best emissary in human history, did not think so.

Even the superstitious belief that sleeping with a fan on at night will kill you is believed as common sense if you add the word science.

great grandson.

through many of them.

With plausible words and theories.

The essence of witchcraft is to exclude the incomprehensible from the originally mysterious substance and logic and deceive as if it is understandable.

It is the greatest fraudulent technique to manipulate the providence by pretending to obey it.

Reflecting on what I heard from Plato the Unspeaker.

A guardian of mankind who learned science based on the magic he received from the spirits from the beginning of civilization.

As a sword master who reached the mystery of sword righteousness just by swinging the sword.

Limon said.

“If you want to kill me, you should have fought with your body instead of relying on the power of such a trivial weapon.”

[That kind of nonsense…]

“Well, the result would have been the same anyway.”

Pajik Pajijik!

Could it be because the blade stuck in the body twisted and damaged the core?

Or is it because its existence was denied by an absurd swordsman who invalidated even science by dismissing it as a mystery?

As the steel of rebellion crumbled, Limon drew the sword from its torso and slowly looked around.

“Now, who is next?”

That moment.

The constellations around them hesitated and withdrew.

The remnants of dozens of Constellations, including the steel of the rebellion, scattered like garbage behind him.

Even though it cut through everything, including bone and flesh, the blade still radiated a sharp brilliance without a single tooth coming out.

Above all, the golden eyes of a man covered in the blood of constellations all over his body.

Even the Constellations who had been playing around with countless worlds as transcendental beings felt chills.

“It’s fine if you don’t want to come.”

However, Limon did not let go of the Constellations that were withdrawing like that.

I just took a step back with calm words.

“Because I’ll be gone.”

Like that…

at a slow pace.

But it seems like he won’t miss a single one.

Looking at the gray-haired swordsman slowly approaching them, they couldn’t help but recall a long-forgotten feeling.

– Fear and despair.
