#503. don’t underestimate

“How are you, brother? Have you made up your mind?”
“OK.”
“Ahaha, as expected, my brother is great. I would go crazy if I went through something like you did.”
“Are you crazy already?”
“how did you know? That’s top secret.”
After Limon’s message.
The seven princesses gathered one after another.
The preparations for resuming the Seven Dragon Branch had already been completed.
I was just waiting for him to clear his mind.
That’s why everyone was relieved to see Limon’s disdainful response to Yekathrice’s crazy sounds.
Maybe it was because I spent two days alone.
He seemed to have completely regained his composure.
“So what do you want to say to us brother?”
“Before we talk about it, there is something to check first.”
“check? what?”
Leaving Yekathrice tilting her head.
Limon looked away.
Then I asked the white-haired girl who was more expressionless than usual.
“You stupid princess. Did you see anything?”
“there is.”
also say
Almost every princess thought.
From the moment Ainsha collapsed with only mental shock.
There were many people who speculated that the cause might be because they saw some kind of foreknowledge.
That was the reason Yekathrice had no choice but to blink at Ainsha’s answer.
“But I don’t know.”
“You don’t know? What does that mean?”
“I have definitely seen it. But I don’t remember. It feels like dreaming and forgetting.”
“…Then there is no meaning in foreknowledge, right?”
“It has meaning. I don’t remember anything else, but one thing became clear.”
“What became clear?”
“The fate of the world has been twisted. Because of that, I couldn’t see the future at all.”
It’s not the first time.
When the demon descended.
Things related to the Seven Arcs, etc.
Not befitting the name of the world’s greatest prophet, her wisdom had been hampered many times before.
But now the situation was completely different.
Previously, only some of the future was invisible or blurry, as if it were shrouded in fog.
Now it’s just a close example.
As for the distant future or the future related to the fate of the world, everything was completely white and empty, and there was nothing to see even if I tried to look at it.
Fortunately, you know why.
Unfortunate was the reason.
“According to the records of the White Dragon Clan, this has only happened once.”
“You mean world war?”
“That’s right.”
distant past.
The forces that cut the world collide one after another.
As a result, Limon frowned as he recalled the dark days of the prophets, where even the future was swallowed up whole.
Ainsha bluntly asserted.
“I don’t know how many there are in all. However, it is certain that the Sword Master has been resurrected.”
and.
A deep silence fell.
It was something everyone had expected since hearing the story of the theft of sword masters’ mementos.
However, at the word that it actually happened, everyone couldn’t help but be shaken.
“…Does that mean that in the worst case, all nine remaining Sword Masters could have been resurrected?”
“At least 2 people, at worst 9 people.”
“Why is there such a big difference?”
“It is a guess based on experience.”
This did not happen when only the sword king Richard was resurrected.
Then, since the Liberation Brigade resurrected at least two sword masters this time, the future of the world would have disappeared in the aftermath.
Ainsha said bluntly.
Yekathrice made a complicated expression.
Even she couldn’t laugh off the fact that nine sword masters might have been resurrected.
It was for this reason that she turned her gaze to Limon.
“Hey brother, I have something to ask you.”
“What?”
“Onii-chan, how many other sword masters can you deal with?”
“…Ekathrice, isn’t that a very rude question?”
“why? You should know what you need to know.”
Rose sighed at Catherine’s outspoken behavior, but couldn’t say anything more.
I just couldn’t bear to ask.
It was something I absolutely needed to know now that the resurrection of the Sword Master was certain.
So the moment Limon answered.
Everyone couldn’t help but make strange faces.
“I do not know.”
“You don’t know?”
“Because I’ve never been accepted as a Sword Master.”
He fought and defeated several sword masters, and that is why he has survived to this day.
But it’s a 1-1 outcome.
No matter how much he lived as a protector of mankind for hundreds of years, he had never fought more than two sword masters at the same time.
There was no reason to worry about that.
That’s why it’s hard to say for sure how many sword masters they can face.
after talking nonchalantly.
Limon added a word.
“In the first place, your questions were out of order.”
“Order, what order?”
“Before you ask how many I can deal with, you should have asked if I could win one-on-one against other sword masters.”
“huh?”
“It’s something I wanted to tell you anyway, so I’ll tell you clearly right now.”
It’s like you don’t know the meaning.
Yekathrice blinking.
Limon, who opened his eyes to her, looked back at the other princesses and continued.
A necessary warning in this era that would not have been necessary in the era of heroes.
“Don’t underestimate the Sword Master.”
“…We also don’t underestimate the Sword Master, right? Even if it’s not as much as my brother, he thinks of it as a higher level than us.”
“That’s what I mean.”
It seems that he expected Yekathrice’s objection.
Limon cut it off.
And he spoke seriously.
“A sword master is a swordsman who has reached the ultimate level (Master) with nothing more to learn about his swordsmanship.”
Look at the tip of the sword.
make your own sword.
Sword masters who have even attained immortality are those who have reached the absolute level in the level they have achieved.
Although there may be compatibility and variables depending on the swordsman and experience, basically, each person is said to be an equal opponent.
Limon pointed out quietly.
“Even the fact that I was able to beat them was partly due to luck.”
Before the sword king was alive.
Limon had a few fights with him.
And once out of three or four I lost.
Most of the cases where he won were by holding out until the sword broke and then beating the sword king in the gap.
If the Sword King had a sword that could never be broken, what would his win rate be?
It was because even Limon couldn’t handle the Sword King’s swordsman’s sword that could cut the borders of the world in a pure head-to-head battle.
The other sword masters did the same.
The army of swordsmen is invincible.
The swordsman’s body is a contradiction.
You can’t tell by looking at black.
The swordsman’s steps could not be stopped.
When the Sword Spirit cuts the moon while dreaming.
If Geomlang fights at the end of the world.
The Sword Demon’s spear reached the underworld.
If you attack the sword light, you die.
The swordsman stopped and won.
Even if Limon fought against them, it was impossible to guarantee a 100% win rate.
“In fact, even when I fought other sword masters in the past, I have never won easily.”
The Swordsman broke his skull.
In the duel with the swordsman, his neck almost flew off.
Geomhwa fought against the Sword King for ten days, and despite being exhausted, he endured two more days against Limon.
Even with the Sword King, he could have won only by risking his life, albeit because he was pressed for time.
I’m glad you were successful.
If the gamble had failed, it would not have ended with only one arm broken.
If the fight with another sword master was bad luck, it wouldn’t be strange if he died himself.
How many sword masters would you have to deal with?
It was natural that even Limon couldn’t give a definite answer.
“Still, assuming what if…”
So this is speculation.
I warn you that I can’t promise.
Limon said quietly.
“A maximum of two.”
“…”
“That would be the limit I can handle.”
risking one’s life
Even if we fight with the determination to die together.
At least that’s about the odds of winning.
The seven princesses stiffened their faces as they saw Limon speak more objectively because he was calm like everyone else.
Because that’s when I understood.
What they have to deal with is the Sword Master.
Even though he was defeated and died, he was an absolute being on the same level as this man called the guardian of mankind.
to verify that fact.
Hasneti asked in a muffled voice.
“What if I had to deal with more than three people?”
“It will bounce.”
and was silent
It wasn’t just Hasneti.
Even the other princesses looked at him with faces wondering if they had heard something wrong.
However, Limon did not raise an eyebrow.
When facing three or more Sword Masters.
You have two options.
In other words, he had a cynical smile on his face as he remembered the ending he would face if he failed to escape.
“Otherwise, I’m going to die.”
* * *
Rose felt ashamed.
That Limon hadn’t spent two days in the garden just to calm himself down.
what’s going on in the future
how to solve it
It’s because I realized that it was also a time to seriously think about it.
But he wasted his time locked in regret.
Also, in order to comfort him with my body, I couldn’t think of any countermeasures because I was struggling with pleasure until a while ago.
I couldn’t help but feel guilty.
…Even then, the fact that she doesn’t regret accepting his desire is proof that she’s corrupted to the bone.
While inadvertently blushing at that fact.
flinch.
Rose raised her head.
while I was lost in thought.
Because it felt strange.
It feels like someone is looking at you coldly.
But that’s all.
I looked around, but couldn’t find anything to look at.
I could only see the serious faces of those who were each lost in thought.
It was because the fact that he was even thinking of running away disturbed everyone.
It was then.
The most pessimistic of the Seven Dragons.
That’s why the princess, who is used to assuming the worst, opened her mouth.
“Li Qingyu has something to check.”
“What do you mean?”
“Are there really only nine sword masters whose belongings have disappeared?”
“…What do you mean Maia?”
“Did you forget? Excluding the already fallen Sword King, there are two more Sword Masters who have left a record in history.”
That moment.
Rose asked the question.
And not only the other princesses, but also the aides who guarded the rear and the masters of the Seven Dragons were startled.
It was because he realized that he had missed the most important thing while focusing on the belongings of the missing Sword Master.
Among the sword masters that have existed in history, there are more than 9 sword masters whose belongings have disappeared, and there are sword masters who must never be resurrected.
From the perspective of the Seven Dragons.
Even from Limon’s point of view.
“That’s…”
“Don’t worry, even the Liberation Brigade’s guys won’t be able to do that.”
When Li Qingyu heard the question and put on a complicated expression.
The first to speak was a man who, despite the most agitation, maintained his composure alone.
His eyebrows raised at the unexpected reaction.
Maia asked quietly.
“Are you sure?”
“Yes, I can assure you.”
With an assertion without hesitation.
Limon laughed a little coldly.
“Aren’t you the one who knows the reason best?”
And Maia was silent.
It was because he realized why Limon was confident about it.
Likewise, the other princesses who noticed the reason also shut up in silence.
with one hand resting on his chin.
Charlotte said languidly.
“I’m sure it’s worth saying. The swordsmith is the only one who knows where the sword gun is.”
“It is as you say, sir.”
It is impossible for the Liberation Brigade to find a place that even they have not found for the past hundreds of years.
With Charlotte, who readily acknowledged it.
Limon let out a laugh.
Looking at them, the princesses couldn’t help but make complicated expressions.
The cold smile on Limon’s lips right now was enough to remind him of the past when he was an enemy of the Seven Dragons.
Is it to change the mood?
In the midst of the heavy silence, Li Qingyu opened his mouth in a calm voice as usual.
“Fortunately, the news is not all bad. There is something I learned thanks to the Sword King.”
“What facts?”
“I don’t know how many Sword Masters the Liberation Brigade has resurrected, but it’s going to be difficult to control them at will.”
said Richard.
He was just taking advantage of his spare time.
If he hadn’t longed for a duel with Limon, he wouldn’t have fallen for a spell easily.
Not even one person did that.
It would be difficult to treat all nine Sword Masters like limbs, even now that they have obtained the fifth Seven Arcs.
After calmly pointing out.
Li Qingyu murmured.
“…the problem is that things could get worse.”
“Possibility of getting worse?”
“It is Han.”
How could it get any worse than this?
Unexpectedly, it was Ainsha who received the question from Yekathrice who was puzzled.
“I don’t know the principle of the Seven Arcs skill. However, it is basic to use resentment and grudge when reviving the dead with black magic.”
“Does that mean that the more resentful the Sword Master was during his lifetime, the easier it would be to handle?”
“That’s right. Exactly.”
Before being the princess of the Seven Dragons.
As the priest of the Holy League.
Seeing Ainsha speak expressionlessly, Rose hardened her face.
She is also a resident of Madou London.
It was because he was somewhat familiar with magic, so he could guess how much the situation could get worse.
Above all, Ainsha’s words were enough to make even those who didn’t know about magic take it seriously.
“Especially if you have a deep grudge against Lee, there is a possibility that you will actively cooperate with the Liberation Brigade.”
“…”
For some reason.
In a space that has become darker than before.
The silver-haired girl burst into laughter alone.
“Ahaha, that’s good.”
“What are you happy about?”
“Even if all 9 sword masters were resurrected, 7 of them would be my brother’s disciples. Wouldn’t the grudge be that deep?”
Since ancient times, a teacher and a disciple are like a parent-child relationship, so there is little chance that the situation will deteriorate.
Seeing Yekathrice talking with a smile, Limon nodded slowly.
“Yes, you are not wrong.”
for nearly a thousand years.
Only 13 sword masters were born.
The tower owner of the Sword Tower who raised 7 of them.
At the same time…
“unless most of them ended up in my hands.”
A guardian of mankind who ruthlessly defeated anyone who harms humanity, be it a disciple or a lover, and eventually killed 8 sword masters.
Watching Limon Asfelder.
The princesses thought involuntarily.
Like all sword masters, the monster is still this guy.
