#370. I’m curious about that too.
I guess I don’t know how to explain it.
It’s time to blur the horse’s tail.
Limon stared blankly at the figure towering like a mountain, then opened his mouth as if to sigh.
“It is a beast.”
“…if it’s a beast, is that an animal?”
“okay.”
Rose was stunned.
It was the same with Hasneti.
It was to the point that she, who always had a cold expression, blinked.
It was so absurd that if someone else had said that, they would have thought they were making fun of them.
It seems that such a reaction was expected.
Limon continued with a wry smile.
“You won’t understand. If I didn’t know the circumstances and treated that as an animal, I would have treated him like a madman.”
“Are you still asserting that it is an animal?”
“There are differences depending on the standard, but if you define it as whether or not it is a creature that originally existed in the world, that is definitely not a monster.”
In the first place, the concept of a monster was established after the Iron Age.
There were many bizarre beings in the past, but it was rare to lump them together as ‘monsters’.
Depending on the number of floors, the dungeons with the same monsters appearing as if they were made in a factory were just strange.
Even animals with mystical powers.
Even good-natured ghosts.
Even humans who are not as good as animals.
This is because it was difficult to define non-humans as monsters unconditionally unless you could know everything just by looking at them.
“Categorically, animals are right.”
That’s why Limon could rather assert.
that’s an animal
for he had seen it before the Iron Age opened.
“The thing is, it’s one of the most terrifying beasts in history.”
“What is that…?”
Rose immediately hesitated.
She is Countess Sea Serpent.
If not as much as Ainsha, the priestess of the Holy League, the Seven Dragons were familiar with myths and legends.
That’s why I was able to think of something when I heard that it was the most terrible beast in history.
“…only two beasts can make you say that.”
And it was the same with Hasneti, who knew Limon’s achievements as well as Li Ching-wee.
No, even the other princesses could have roughly guessed it.
In the first place, that beast was old enough to be handed down in the scriptures of the Seven Dragons.
“One must be the spirit tree that caused the spirit uprising.”
“That doesn’t look like the spirit water.”
“Then…”
“The other side.”
“That’s right.”
Because I just couldn’t believe it.
Looking at the two princesses who couldn’t bear to answer, Limon nodded.
And with a bitter smile, he revealed the identity of the beast.
Even though he has lived a long life, he has only faced once, and even then, he was able to defeat a strong enemy only after going through a lot of hardship.
It has existed since the beginning of time.
Change the topography of the world to your heart’s content.
Of course, even the island was eaten like a snack.
A beast that caused even more terrible catastrophes.
And now, a name whose existence itself is a disaster that is only vaguely passed down in legends.
“That’s a predator.”
* * *
[What is the number of predators?]
“….”
[Wait a minute, chief? What are the eyes as if looking at an incurable chicken?]
“What are the eyes as if looking at a bird head that is useless only as the contents of a fried batter?”
Yuna-kyung ran wild.
[It’s too much! How hard I worked this time!]
“Well, I’ll admit that.”
Limon smiled as he looked at the Changryongdae and Yeomryongdae that were spread out at the end of the meadow.
If it wasn’t for Yuna-kyung, it would have been impossible to save Rose and Hasneti and help the Changryongdae and Yeomryongdae.
In that respect, Yuna-kyung’s performance was commendable.
Simultaneously with the compliment, Limon opened his mouth calmly as he brushed her hair.
“Blue, do you know how many continents there are in the world?”
[Of course there are five, right?]
“Now it is.”
[…You say it as if it was different in the past?]
“Because that’s true.”
[Yes?]
Maybe it’s because I heard something out of the blue.
Limon spoke softly as he inadvertently flicked his finger on the forehead of Yuna-gyeong, who had eyes as if she were looking at an old man with dementia.
“I don’t know about kids like you these days, but there used to be six continents in the world.”
europe.
Asia.
Africa.
North America.
South America.
and another one.
Yuna-kyung asked Limon, who was talking about a continent that existed above the sea.
[…Is that a Central American story about being in the Geomryong Sea?]
“No, it’s not that way. The continent I am talking about was devoured before the seven dragons even appeared in the world.”
[Does…it work?]
“Yes.”
The Bronze Age, of course.
Recalling a story that had been handed down like a legend even in the Silver Age before that, Limon continued quietly.
In the distant past, six continents existed.
However, one of the continents was no longer in history, let alone on a map.
It was because a beast that had existed since before the Golden Age, the oldest history of mankind, had eaten the whole continent.
That’s a predator.
From the Fairy Queen and the Spiritual Wizard to the Archwitch, the Seven Adult Dragons and the Sword Master.
It was the first beast that appeared in any era and was hunted by the absolute first and then made extinct.
[…extinct?]
“Even if only one remains, we can’t leave behind a beast that could destroy the world at any moment.”
[No, that’s true, but… Then what is that predator?]
“I’m curious about that too.”
Limon crossed his arms.
If it was another animal, I would have accepted it.
The re-discovery of an animal that was thought to be extinct has been a common occurrence for a long time.
Still, there was one reason why he couldn’t help but be suspicious.
Because he was the one who killed the last predator.
In addition, because of the hardships at that time, he even delayed dealing with the Seven Dragons and invested decades only in eradicating the predatory beast.
However, it was just astonishing that the predator, which I thought had dried up, reappeared.
So it was.
What Limon muttered involuntarily.
“Could that be summoned with a skill?”
And it was Hasneti, who was listening silently by the side, who received that self-talk.
“…As far as I know, no summoning lord has ever summoned such a monster.”
“Maybe it was hidden even though it could be called. If it turns out that he is using a summoning beast that can destroy the world, he will incur resentment.”
“Does he look like someone who would have kept that thing hidden until his arm was cut off and his summons were annihilated?”
“Maybe it was somewhere else at the time and couldn’t be summoned.”
“Hmm.”
Limon stroked his chin.
Hasneti’s words that Branga did not have the ability to summon predatory beasts.
Rose’s words that since she’s a predatory beast right now, it’s probably Brangay who was summoned.
Because either way had a point.
Thanks to that, the one who suddenly had to intervene between the two conversations was Yuna-kyung, who was secretly watching.
[Right now, isn’t it better to deal with that first rather than the cause?]
At the same time, red and blue eyes aimed at her.
One side is as calm as a lake.
One side is fierce like fire.
While flinching at the two pairs of gazes that are identical in terms of pressure, Yuna-kyung cautiously raised her wings and pointed to one side.
A gigantic monstrous creature towering over the meadow.
The predatory water that is eating away at the land.
[No matter how you look at it, it seems to be getting bigger and bigger.]
Yuna-kyung broke out in a cold sweat.
It was still a big predator.
The more they ate the land, the more it grew in size, and before they knew it, it had grown close to its original size.
However, Limon and the two princesses calmly accepted the sight.
“It’s going to grow, because that’s a predator.”
eat anything
A beast that gets bigger the more it eats.
That’s called predatory water.
Seeing Limon speak calmly, Yuna-kyung opened her beak.
[Wait, doesn’t that mean that if left alone, it could grow endlessly and swallow the entire continent?]
“It’s not that it might swallow it, it will.”
[By the way, what are you looking at? You have to catch it quickly!]
“You’re doing this to catch it, right?”
[Yes?]
When Yuna-kyung tilted her head at those words that she did not understand.
Two aides appeared.
“Princess, the retreat is complete.”
“The Continental Federation said that everyone had evacuated as well.”
Even though she was healed with magic, it was obvious just by looking at her complexion that her body was still not normal.
Even in the midst of this, the two princesses quietly asked Lucas and Nadia, who faithfully carried out orders and posted reports.
“Did you check the residents too?”
“Yes, the villagers who were late to evacuate, as you said, called the clan’s reinforcements and evacuated them.”
“We must be all we are in this meadow.”
“You can see that there are no ordinary people within a radius of at least 100 kilometers, not just the grasslands….”
As the war was about to begin, the Continental Federation introduced the nearby residents in advance, so the work was over faster than expected.
Rose and Hasneti nodded after hearing the report from the two aides, and turned to Limon.
“The preparations for the sword attack are complete.”
“You don’t have to worry about nearby damage anymore.”
“okay? Then we should start slowly.”
It’s like he’s been waiting for that word.
Limon got up.
Then he picked up the sword he had put down next to him and suddenly asked.
“Why don’t you and Pharaoh evacuate too? It must be difficult just to be here in that condition.”
Lucas and Nadia, who were in the back, heard that and gave enthusiastic eyes of agreement.
Of course, immediately after melting.
The appearance of the two princesses, who still had clear scars all over their bodies, made me feel nervous as an aide.
However, their princess did not budge.
“If it doesn’t bother me, I want to watch it until the end.”
“…I started the fight against the summoning lord in the first place. Don’t even think about kicking out the subject who got in the way.”
Rose with a faint smile.
Hasneti answered coldly.
Contrary to their opposite attitudes, the two are identical in that they have no intention of stepping down.
And seeing the two aides and the two sabers standing behind him as if they were going to protect the princess even if they died, Limon smiled.
“It doesn’t matter if you want to look around, but you better be careful, right?”
Duduk.
bend the neck left and right
stretch your legs long
twirling your arms, etc.
After loosening up his body, which he hadn’t even done when dealing with the monarch, Limon took a step forward.
From the Golden Age to the Age of Heroes.
A beast of destruction that only the absolute of the time could handle.
Limon smiled ferociously as he saw a prey that he hadn’t seen in a long time and didn’t need to add or subtract from his strength.
“That’s not an animal you can hunt while paying attention to the aftermath.”
Phaging!
So, at once, Limon, who crossed the space and appeared above the predatory beast, drove the sword into the handle and pulled out a single sword.
The
sword
howls
.
_
The edge of the blade shakes.
The moment the body of a predator that was as tall as a mountain split in half.
The black mud that exploded between them engulfed Limon’s tiny body.
