Solo Swordmaster

#1021. Sin is deep

* * *

Sacrifice of the gods.

It was thanks to that.

The gates of Valhalla are maintained.

The reason why humanity survived.

But unfortunately, that wasn’t enough.

Warlocks were better. They were people who gained strength as their despair and fear deepened, and during this period of destruction, negative emotions were overflowing.

The priests who used the power of Tartarus were able to survive thanks to the sacrifice of the god.

The problem is London.

They were witches who maintained Avalon.

Even though magic is an all-powerful power that can surpass even miracles if there is a price, humans are the ones who realize it.

No matter how rare a fetish is, it is nearly impossible for a beginner who has just learned magic to use miracle-level magic.

The more powerful the magic.

The user’s capabilities are important.

The Gate of Valhalla was such a difficult magic that not only the saints of the world but even the dark wizards had to work together to create it.

So much so that even an absolute being would have to pay a huge price just to unfold it for a moment.

And it was no exception even for the archwitches who maintained the most important magical core at the gates of Valhalla at this moment.

“Cough!”

After coughing up red blood.

The cat on her shoulder withered like a mummy, and the girl collapsed like rotten straw.

It was not a new sight.

Because it had already happened several times.

It has been a long time since not only the witches of the 27 lineages of magic that formed the axis of the magic circle, but even the great witches fainted one after another.

There are two left.

The distant silver age.

From that time on, there were only the Sorcerer Queen, who had ascended to the position of absolute ruler, and the Great Witch who had sealed her.

That was why.

A beauty in an old-fashioned dress.

The reason why the legendary great witch called the Lady of the Lake opened her mouth softly.

“It’s truly unexpected.”

“What do you mean?”

“You are protecting the world.”

“Hehe, is that so unexpected?”

Half human and half god.

A descendant of the sun god Helios.

At the same time, one of the original witches.

At the same time, she, who was called the Lady of the Lake, and three other great witches were only able to seal her by borrowing the power of God.

Looking at the legendary Great Witch Sir, who was revered by everyone as the Demon King even in the Silver Age, which was overflowing with myths.

The Lady of the Lake who gave King Arthur a treasured sword.

Vivian said.

“Who would have known that you, not another witch, would protect the world by giving up your own immortality?”

It was like that.

Right now at this moment.

It was Sir who bore a greater burden than anyone else to maintain the gates of Valhalla.

Even the great witch, who was merely an assistant, collapsed and vomited blood.

No matter how legendary the Queen of Sorcery was, there was no way that she, the caster of this magic, would be able to endure it unscathed.

Nevertheless, there is one secret to how she has been able to maintain the gates of Valhalla.

It was because he was paying a high price.

It was hard to believe that she had lived for thousands of years, but the wrinkles that gradually appeared on her young and elastic skin proved that fact.

Born as a half-human and half-god.

By making a wish to the demon god.

The eternal youth she gained.

The powerful magical power was melting away, and the clock, which had stopped for thousands of years, was moving again.

“There’s nothing you can do about it. “The world is going to be ruined anyway.”

But even as he aged so quickly, Sir burst out laughing.

The moment the door to Valhalla closes, the heroic spirits who returned from the underworld will also disappear, and a vortex of light will engulf the world.

Wouldn’t it be better to struggle to survive even when you’re old, rather than die young and beautiful?

Looking at Sir speaking so naturally.

Vivian pointed out softly.

“Even if the world falls apart, isn’t it possible for you to run away alone?”

“Well, that’s not impossible, but…”

She is a demigod and a legendary great witch.

Go to the astral world where God is.

Whether it’s moving to a parallel world.

Even if the world was destroyed, there were at least a few ways to survive.

But…

“Isn’t it shameful that young people are working so hard and I run away alone?”

“…You’ve changed a lot too.”

“Hehe, it’s thanks to getting along so well with such a passionate baby.”

Sir laughed quietly.

Certainly, if she had been the girl back when she was called the Queen of Sorcery, she would have ultimately chosen to run away.

Just like when the Demon God invaded London in the past, we just watched while drinking tea.

But after watching a knifeman so closely, she can no longer be a bystander in the world.

Regardless of the gain or loss.

Only for humanity.

A man who perseveres and works hard.

That noble and brilliant appearance once again instilled warmth in her heart, which had grown cold during her long life.

“The more I get to know him, the more I admire him. “The swordsmith.”

That moment.

Sir paused.

And then I looked at the opponent who appeared beyond the fallen witches.

“…Black baby? “What’s going on here?”

“I came to do what I had to do.”

A black-haired girl appeared as if rising from the shadows.

Li Qingyu smiled.

From the Federation of China to London.

Coming here in such a short period of time was not an easy task, even for her who created the transcendent martial arts called Mukryongseonggong.

Especially now that a vortex of starlight is sweeping the world.

Nevertheless, there is one reason why she risked her life to cross the continent, leaving even the Black Dragon Palace, which she had to protect, in the hands of Wei Ling.

“The Queen of Sorcery needs strength right now, and I have something I can give you.”

“….”

“―The power of the reincarnation monarch.”

Yes, that’s right.

A constellation of a reincarnation monarch who has repeatedly lived past lives and devoured the providence of the world.

The star power possessed by the sentinel of the rolling cycle of reincarnation was truly enormous, even by the standards of a monarch-level constellation.

Even though he was only able to absorb a part of it, the power that Li Qingyu gained was almost infinite.

Enough to make up for the magical power that Syr lacks, to the point where he has to give up his immortality.

But…

“Black girl, do you know what that means?”

“I know.”

“….”

“You could lose all your strength, become a wreck, or put your life in danger.”

It was something that could not be helped.

What she is trying to do now is ultimately to use herself as a living sacrifice.

Even if you prepare thoroughly for several months, it was difficult to muster up strength on the spot when it was not enough.

In the process, not only the dragon’s psionics but also its life force or soul could be damaged.

Even more so in the sense that there might be some aftereffects just from losing such enormous power.

nevertheless.

Li Qingyu did not hesitate.

I just smiled and smiled calmly.

“But I am the swordsman’s bride.”

Limon, who left to protect the world, is still fighting for his life, so how can he protect himself as a priest?

After staring at the calmly speaking girl.

Sir eventually chuckled.

“Anyway, that girl is also deeply sinful.”

The Sorcerer Queen, who once tried to conquer the whole world, reached out to the most cunning of the seven dragons.

Li Qingyu held his hand like that.

Sir chants a spell.

The moment when another magic circle overlapped the magic circle that created the gate of Valhalla.

Paaaaaa!

-The light of dawn burned red.

* * *

It burns.

Burning.

Burning.

From east to west.

The magical light that spread like a fire along with the fluttering flower petals dyed even the sky covered in a swirl of starlight bright red.

And a corner of the world.

There is no human being to be found.

On a cliff where only waves ripple.

There was a person who looked intently at the burning dawn.

Without even raising an eyebrow, even in the midst of a vortex of starlight that pollutes and devours not only life, matter, but even souls.

Inyoung, who was sitting on the edge of a cliff and looking at the sky, slowly raised one hand.

gulp.

The gourd is tilted.

The pure white neck wriggled.

While a strong scent spreads.

Translucent Inyoung wiped the alcohol from the corner of her mouth with her arm and lazily opened her mouth.

[I had one last drink, so I don’t have any regrets anymore… But my heavenly teacher is making it so that I can’t even rest comfortably. [They are like ugly disciples.]

Death is the end of everything.

It is eternal rest given equally to all.

For a moment, I grumbled in frustration at having my rest interrupted several times.

“Tap.”

She put down the gourd and removed the robe from her shoulders.

It reveals a solid body full of all kinds of scars, but rather than being ugly, it is full of the wild beauty of a wild animal.

She got up.

[Still, the alcohol was delicious…]

Grumble.

From the left.

From the right.

What comes out are two swords.

The moment when the twin swords, which were too old-fashioned and crude to be considered famous swords, but whose blades were extremely sharp, were held in her hands.

[Think of it as the cost of alcohol.]

Grrrr rrrrrrrrr!

Change.

It has begun.

The flame of dawn that had been spreading throughout the world began to be sucked in at an incredible speed by the two swords she was holding.

And as she swallows the flame of dawn, the two translucent swords and her appearance gradually become clearer.

The whole world was shaken.

No, it wasn’t the world that was shaking.

A fate that determines that the Earth will be destroyed and humanity will be destroyed by the endless power of the stars.

The future, so fixed, was shaken by the energy flowing from the two swords, which became clearer as the flames engulfed it.

But unfortunately.

Destiny did not fall easily.

This is because the power of the star was so powerful that it forced the providence that established the laws of the world into destruction.

Nevertheless, she moved her sword slowly, without being embarrassed or anxious.

And that moment.

The world is shaking again.

The flames swirling around her sword exploded.

No, it wasn’t a firework.

It was the will to cut the flow, the boundaries, the contradictions, the cause-and-effect process, the distance, the dream, the form, and the technology to stop.

The blade that cuts through fate is bringing out the traces of the providence unfolded by those who have reached the ultimate level of the sword.

That’s impossible.

It was like restoring the sword techniques from hundreds of years ago just by looking at the sword marks carved on the cliff…

no, it was hundreds of times more absurd than that, something that even a sword master could not believe in his eyes.

But she wasn’t particularly proud or thrilled about what she had accomplished.

Just about this much.

It seems like it’s a natural thing.

Cut down the unnecessary future.

By leaving only the necessary future.

He simply swung his sword toward the result he wanted, overcoming all impossibilities.

Thus, the flame of dawn that covered the entire world was sucked into the two swords to the last drop.

A remnant of the will wielded by samurai, monks, assassins, cowboys, soldiers, saints, kings, empresses, Indians, and monarchs.

The moment when they melted into one at the tip of a swordsman.

『Dragon Slaying

Sword Master’s Dragon Killing Sword,

destiny is meant to be cut

down』

Crumbling!

The fate of destruction determined by the stars is completely destroyed by the blade that cuts through future and destiny.

A swirl of starlight.

-It was split.
