Swirl.

In the sky.

At sea.

From Mother Earth.

Like dark clouds pouring down wind and rain, like a waterspout that absorbs anything, like a sandstorm that gathers like a tsunami.

The vortex of starlight expanded its area at an incredible speed, covering everything in the world.

No matter how strong the barrier is.

Even the absolute power of great power.

Even souls returning from the dead.

There was no meaning in front of that whirlpool.

Like sand castles in front of waves, most of them could not withstand the moment and became part of the whirlpool.

There is only one exception.

There is only the light of dawn created by the gate of Valhalla, which was completed by combining the three great magics created by drawing on the providence of the whole world.

The problem is that the Light of Dawn is also a result of magic.

In other words, the core that sustains it was not able to withstand the vortex.

That was why.

An axis that constitutes the three major magics.

The reason why the fiercest struggle took place in a city where light and darkness mixed together to create the light of dawn.

“Everyone stay focused! “The order must not be disturbed even in the slightest!”

the center of the city.

The cries of the female knight standing among the countless clans were evidence of the urgency of the situation.

Of course, compared to that urgent cry, the situation was quiet.

The sight of them standing silently seemed peaceful compared to when they were struggling against countless monsters.

But in fact, their faces all looked as tired as blank sheets of paper.

It was natural.

Right now at this moment.

Because they were constantly using enormous psionics beyond fighting with all their might.

This is to prevent the vortex of starlight.

Hundreds of thousands of Blue Dragon clan members.

Dozens of professional level experts.

Even Rose, who has completed the dragon’s true blood.

All of them resonated with psionics and deployed an exaggerated formation that isolated the entire city of London and protected it from the vortex.

It’s a miracle.

From the Bronze Age to now.

Ido was born into the Blue Dragon clan.

This person also became a member of the dragon clan.

It was an unprecedented event in history that was possible because everyone joined forces, transcending life and death.

Moreover, it was not only the Dragon Descendants who were making efforts to stop the whirlpool.

[AdRa kAmaSyn.]

[oRD Oul omar.]

A legendary witch, including Snow White and Sleeping Beauty, who memorizes spells to prevent mental interference from whirlpools.

Numerous magic knights, including the Knights of the Round Table and Handel and Gretel, assist them by drawing on the power of sacred weapons and magic tools.

And….

[Okay, I left behind everything I had just in case something happened… I wonder why I have to go through all this trouble even after I’m old and dead.]

[Are you looking down on me because I didn’t even live 200 years before I died? ?]

[How can you be proud of a person who was executed by the law when he became a civil servant?]

[You foolish bastard! If you try to stand above the law just because you have power, how can you be a philosopher?]

[Hehehe. Socrates, please teach me later, and now you should quickly start with your hands.]

[You may not be able to listen to adults who teach you, but this is why young people these days…!]

[Speak clearly. Still, Aristotle lived for over 500 years, so if you think about it, Master is rather young.]

[Noisy!]

Three cyborgs who were assembling a barrier device at an incredible speed while clicking with each other.

Among them, the old man whose entire body was mechanized sighed.

If I had known this would happen, I would have done more research on space barriers while creating a palm printer or a dice-manipulating laser alcohol decomposition engine.

If that were the case, we would have been able to use a more plausible barrier device rather than hastily constructing it from parts of a destroyed spirit.

This is especially true in the current situation, where even if it is not a physical object, any equipment or weapon you used during your lifetime can be embodied at least in spirit form.

Even if that were the case.

The result would have been the same.

No matter how much he is the best eonyeongsa in history.

The power of the vortex was so strong that it could be blocked with just one or two personal barriers or devices.

That was why.

The reason why the old man looked worriedly at Rose, the key to this barrier.

‘I don’t think even the Blue Dragon Princess can last long.’

That worry could never be said to be unfounded.

Torn wings.

Tattered armor.

Even the bleeding tail.

The sight is truly a mess.

Because it clearly showed how hard Rose had fought to protect this place until now.

It was natural.

This London is the most important of the three cores that maintain the gates of Valhalla.

That’s because it was the place that was most fiercely attacked by monsters.

With the help of heroic spirits gathered from all over Europe, it would have fallen long ago if it had not been a disaster.

And it was Rose who fought at the forefront throughout the fierce defense battle.

How long will she be able to maintain this powerful stance?

It was an unsettling situation for anyone to see.

[Limon Asfelder, you damn bastard. He cuts off one of his wrists, minus the bottom, and takes away other people’s belongings, and then he fails to properly protect the world, making it look like this.]

If he had known this would happen, he would have lived until he had greased the walls without leaving an inheritance

, but he kept both hands in his hands. It moved in 64x speed mode and mass-produced various barrier devices.

In order to alleviate some of the burden on the Blue Dragon clan, including Rose, who maintain the line, so that they can block the whirlpool for a longer period of time.

I’m crying.

But no matter how hard you try.

Humans have limits.

It was the same even for dragons.

As time passed, the number of clans who collapsed while vomiting blood and the number of heroic spirits whose spiritual bodies were completely scattered increased.

Rose’s complexion deteriorated by the minute, as she was burdened with the burden of maintaining the line, and even fresh blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.

‘Not yet.’

nevertheless.

Rose did not stop using psionics.

It wasn’t just to risk his own life to protect his family and London.

Because I knew better than anyone else that if London falls, the gates of Valhalla will open and the whole world will fall together.

‘We must protect the world until he returns.’

My vision becomes blurry.

Even though I kept coughing up blood.

It was a time when she fought with all her might, determined to protect London as long as her life remained.

A quiet sound was heard.

[Don’t overdo it, descendant of the blue dragon. You are essential to this country.]

“Are you…?”

Rose was shocked.

I’ve heard it countless times already.

Nevertheless, it was not just because of the deep and heavy voice that was incomparable to that of other heroic spirits that had appeared so far.

Because I saw it.

The outskirts of London, a mess.

A translucent man standing tall in front of the barrier of space blocking the swirl of starlight.

[And thank you.]

A particularly sturdy physique.

The most gorgeous armor.

A beard like a lion’s mane.

A crown placed on that head.

Above all, the man holding a ridiculously large two-handed sword in his hand slowly turned his head.

And even though the entire heaven and earth was covered with swirls of starlight, a faint smile appeared against the background of the light of dawn that was still seeping through the gaps.

[For helping my friend, who had walked a lonely path his whole life, no longer have to live a lonely life.]

“….”

For protecting the country.

Also taking care of the people.

This is what a noble should do.

So instead of such a trivial thing, the man said his gratitude for soothing his friend’s loneliness and

swung the two-handed greatsword he was holding in his hand.

Never fast.

However, compared to its gigantic size, the moment the blade crossed the air surprisingly light and calmly.

『Lionheart

Sword king form

Scepter

of The Lionheart』

Rrrrrrrrrrr.

The sword vibrates.

The boundaries of the world are splitting apart.

The vortex of light swirling around London shattered.

The Sword Master’s sword, which cut through all boundaries, even surpassed the spatial barrier that protected London and destroyed the whirlpool.

It is truly an absolute sword that shatters even the vortex of starlight that had been absorbing the attacks of the Absolute.

It was a sight that gave hope again to those who were gradually becoming frustrated with fatigue and despair.

But it was only for a moment.

Slurp.

“This can’t be right….”

[…isn’t even the Sword Master’s sword possible?]

Even the living ones.

Even after death, he came back.

He looked grim as he saw the swirl of starlight recovering at an alarming speed and rushing towards the space barrier again.

Because they had insight into mysteries, they could recognize them.

A swirl of starlight is a non-living phenomenon.

Water flows down.

Smoke rises into the sky.

Just as light creates a shadow.

It is another providence that undermines the providence of the world itself.

No matter how much the sword master cuts through the whirlpool, in the end it is no different from cutting through water with a sword.

[As expected, my friend seems to be having a difficult fight.]

Nevertheless, the man wielding the sword was neither surprised nor shaken.

It seems like this was expected.

I just calmly swung my sword again.

Rumbling!!!

And so…

the whirlpool cuts again.

Even that was just the beginning.

Every time I swing and swing and swing the great sword.

A whirlpool that is constantly scattered, broken, and destroyed.

The sight of endless repetition of destruction and rebirth is truly unique.

Just as the water that flows into the sea evaporates and rises to the sky, the smoke eventually disperses, and the light is also obscured by the shadows of the night.

Just as the vortex had become a providence, even the process of destroying the vortex seemed to have already become a providence.

“ah…!”

That’s why I saw that scene.

Rose couldn’t help but wonder.

It was not because of the majesty of single-handedly blocking a whirlpool that only hundreds of thousands of heroic spirits, including himself, could have managed to block.

A great sword that contains so much power that it doesn’t even break, let alone leave a scratch.

Because I saw it and knew it.

Instead of reducing the force, the sword’s strength exceeds the extreme and even suppresses the providence that the sword should break.

A man goes through a life-threatening struggle with a friend, his lifelong dream, and after repeatedly coming back from death, he overcomes his own limits.

How amazing is the Supreme King’s Sword, which can only be said to be the ultimate in strong swords.

Kugugugugugung.

“this…!”

But even for a moment.

Rose soon had no choice but to harden her face again.

If one doesn’t work, if two doesn’t work, add ten.

This is because the more it was destroyed and scattered, the more the condensed vortex of starlight gathered from all over Europe began to approach London again, little by little.

The moment Rose, biting her lip at the sight, was about to infuse psionics into the formation again.

fluttering.

Between the providence that devours the world and the mighty blade of destruction that cuts even that providence…

– Soft flower petals.

fell off.
