#632. I will command you with the power of scales.

Look inward.
A single tower stands tall.
Stand tall in the center of the image.
underlying everything.
The tower of thirteen swords feels stronger and taller than it has ever seen before.
From the King of Swords to the Sword Master, the Sword Master, the Sword Master, and the Sword Spirit.
The experience of crossing the boundary between dreams and reality by harming oneself after life-and-death struggles with sword masters, the masters of each sword.
It was the result of forging the Tower of Swordsman, which had been built over the past dozens and hundreds of years, to become more solid in just a few months.
But it’s not the tower that catches the eye.
around the tower.
Like a storm, like the sea.
Or like a forest or night.
A vast stream of energy slowly rippling around the majestic Tower of Swords.
Dragon Psionic.
It was originally laid in the Tower of the Swordsman.
However, after the explosive increase, the enormous energy was now filling his mental world beyond the sword tower.
if it is original.
It was impossible.
The tower of swordsmanship that originated from the dragon slaughter sword.
Dragon psionic, the energy of the dragon.
The two are essentially polar opposites.
At the point when the dragon psionic went beyond swordsmanship, the tower had to be knocked down and run wild, or at least swallowed whole.
However, the reason why the two energies did not collide was because of the strange barrier between the flow and the tower.
It’s as if it was carved out of starlight.
Platinum-colored walls that linger between the stream and the tower.
It allowed coexistence of swordsmanship and dragon psionics, which should have collided with each other originally.
Caen.
and.
A change has happened.
The moment when you want a new platinum light to permeate.
As the swaying dragon psionic was sheared away, the wall of light that absorbed the fragments became thicker.
As much as the wall became thicker, the Tower of Swords became more and more stable even in the flow of dragon psionics.
But that’s for a while.
As much as it was cut away by the light, the dragon psionic started shaking this time.
before there is a problem with the flow.
Limon opened his closed eyes.
He released the carving knife from his hand.
and right in front.
He casually asked Maia, who was holding her wrist and diagnosing her pulse.
“How do you look, doctor?”
“…Certainly, I don’t have to worry about the coin intoxication for a while now.”
“So you said that? My body is fine.”
Limon shrugged.
over the past month or so.
While Maia was working hard on mass-producing nectar, he wasn’t idle either.
I devoted myself to stabilizing my state while meditating so that I would not fall into the state of consciousness again.
Thanks to that, as Maia confirmed, he was now almost out of the threat of the coin intoxication.
“Seven Arcs… I knew about it, but it’s really absurd.”
“Certainly not absurd.”
that played a decisive role there.
In other words, seeing the platinum-colored carving knife on Limon’s lap, Maia quietly opened her mouth.
Limon readily agreed.
Even when the seal was unlocked up to the second stage.
Plato’s carving knife was a fraudulent item.
It was an unprecedented thing just to be able to grant psionics to a sculpture that was not originally contained in objects.
However, the true power of the carving knife revealed after unsealing the last three steps was on a different level.
“It’s because of this that I was able to deal with the Sword Demon and Suri at the same time.”
Yam blade.
A swordsmanship that Limon perfected after hundreds of years of hard work based on the Dragon Slayer Sword.
The yam dragon flesh sword was definitely superior in that it was not outmatched by any sword master.
But overwhelm the two sword masters?
It was almost impossible even with a yam dragon knife.
If that was possible in the first place, I wouldn’t have been on the defensive against Gandhi and Billy in Africa.
Nevertheless, the reason why Limon was able to gain the upper hand against Vlad and Suri.
Even if the two of them are exhausted.
Not even by gaining enlightenment.
The original performance of a carving knife.
It was also thanks to the hidden power.
The function as a photon blade that Plato originally left behind in the carving knife was also great.
The lightsaber, which can compress enormous energy and transform it into any type of blade, was an ideal sword for any swordsman.
Indeed, it was a performance worthy of Plato’s legacy, who was the best Unsyeongsa in history…
Even such a Photon Blade was nothing compared to the power contained in the carving knife as the Seven Arcs.
“But don’t be cocky just because you’re a swordsman.”
despite knowing that fact.
No, because he knew, Maia sharply warned.
“No matter how great the power of the Seven Arcs is, it is not omnipotent, so if you abuse it, the coin infancy can come back at any time.”
“Because I know best how dangerous it is to rely on foreign media to tell you not to worry.”
“…”
“More than that, Doctor. If you’re done checking my status, why don’t you move on to the next story soon?”
“It’s a different story…”
He’s obviously laughing.
Looking at the earnest golden eyes with no sign of laughter.
Maia asked quietly.
“About the nectar?”
“Oh, of course, that’s a story that needs to be told.”
It’s like I almost forgot.
Limon scratched his cheek.
And lightly clapped his hands.
mate mate mate.
“Congratulations, doctor.”
Did you admire it?
Did you give up?
Is it funny?
Or is it all.
Limon said with a bitter smile that I couldn’t understand.
“Until I heard about the plan to poison all mankind with nectar, I couldn’t believe it, but I managed to do it.”
“We are still far away.”
“No, it’s already over.”
Less than 1% of the world’s population currently consumes nectar.
Maia said that in addition to mass production of nectar, it would take at least a few more years to achieve the target of 100%.
Limon flatly denied it.
and said with a sigh.
“Because now people won’t be able to give up the doctor’s medicine no matter what.”
As much as I have lived a long life
with an immortal body .
he knew all too well
Man’s obsession with youth and eternal life.
Right now, the effect is unclear, so it’s just this much.
As time goes by and the effects of nectar become clearer, a situation so great that it is incomparable to the current nectar shock will happen.
It doesn’t matter if you run out of medicine.
On the contrary, the more it is lacking, the worse the commotion to obtain nectar will be.
give all one’s wealth
Whether selling the country and family.
Even if it causes war.
As if a human being once addicted to drugs would do anything to keep getting them.
Yes.
This is the ultimate drug.
Of course, once you taste it, you can never give it up.
It was a poison a million times more deadly than the original nectar in that everyone wanted to poison themselves.
“I was really impressed.”
Limon let out a laugh.
If this nectar spreads, the forces that can go against the Green Dragon clan will disappear, even if they are hostile to the entire Seven Dragons.
At least those who have not escaped the karma of lifespan will have no choice but to kneel at the pressure to cut off the supply of nectar.
and this result.
People usually call it this way.
“I never imagined that I could conquer the world like this.”
World Conquest.
From Gandhi the Swordsman.
Madou Queen Sir.
Even the Seven Dragons.
It was a feat that failed even after countless absolutes and forces poured enormous military and financial resources into a war to achieve their respective ideals.
However, in that it has been able to control all the countries in the world.
Of course, he conquered the world with just one drug.
Looking at the princess who even used this as a means.
Limon said quietly.
“―I never thought there would be anyone who could stage a ‘hostage-taking’ against me like this.”
* * *
Breathing disappears.
It’s as if my heart stopped.
In the stillness like thin ice.
Looking at the calm golden eyes that sink too deep and heavy to reveal emotion.
slightly twitch your lips
“It’s a hostage situation… I’m not saying it’s wrong.”
Yes.
When defining hostage taking as risking one’s life for a certain purpose.
This is obviously hostage play.
Even though it may not be her life right now, she is now able to control the lives of all mankind through nectar.
That’s why I was promising.
Limon Aspelder.
No compromise on hostage taking.
This man, who has been able to survive because he has kept it as a belief, will never let this situation go unnoticed.
“so.”
But why?
It’s something I’ve already promised.
Those emotionless, cold eyes squeeze the heart more bitterly than any disease.
still.
doesn’t back down
to hide this pain.
Raise your eyes more sharply.
As always, I just ask with a cold sneer.
“Are you going to cut me now?”
carelessly.
end up thinking
It might not be bad to cut you like this.
Mix the body together.
that saved his life.
If you cut yourself like this
That wound will remain deep in this man’s heart and become a scar that will never heal.
“I can’t.”
so that.
Growing bitterness.
“Because those who harm the doctor are the enemies of mankind.”
The only one who can make nectar is she, who inherits the blood of the Poison Green Dragon Medicine Army.
As long as it does not become an enemy of mankind.
Her world conquest is right.
It’s something you have to protect.
The man speaks as a protector of mankind before being a sword master who has lived for a long time.
“…it’s unexpected.”
I would have laughed at him if he said he couldn’t do that because of the grace that saved his life.
At least, if he had just killed himself, he would have been contentedly cynical.
but without emotion.
Even without ejaculation.
objectively anyway.
Those dry words pierce the heart sharper than a blade.
It feels like proof that you meant only this much to this man after all.
“I didn’t know you would break my faith so easily.”
“As the inspiration of Plato said, nothing is perfect in this world.”
I’d rather show anger, and I try to shoot colder.
he doesn’t waver
quietly raise your hand
Just showing off the scales tattoo.
“To be honest, it is rather reassuring. I no longer have to hesitate about how to use this.”
“…do you mean to use that scale on me?”
“huh.”
“To prevent me from abusing nectar?”
“that’s right.”
make a fuss
My chest tightens.
As requested by Limon.
to stop his rampage.
Use all 10 white weights.
Ten black scale weights, now transferred to his tattoo.
The feeling of betrayal at the fact that the reward was only like this is unexpectedly not felt very much.
vain.
It just hurts.
all your actions.
The effort of giving one’s life.
In the end, the fact that he couldn’t even leave a scar, let alone change this man, makes his heart feel empty.
“Heung, do whatever you want.”
Is the cynicism flowing inadvertently resignation or disappointment?
Well, it’s good.
In the end, the man she loved was just a bastard who would repay even grace with an enemy if it was for the sake of the world.
Even after knowing the fact, the pain that does not go away is just painful.
yes it is
I’ve said it myself several times.
He was already broken.
You can’t get away from it even though you’ve given up everything and been betrayed.
Far worse than nectar.
To the extreme of love.
So it doesn’t matter.
Failed once, twice.
If you’ve been betrayed twice, a hundred times.
It’s okay to try other ways until you succeed.
She is the Green Dragon Princess.
never give up
Because she was a princess of obsession.
…Even if I have to go through this bitterness every time I fail.
“I will command you with the power of the scales.”
in front of her
The man puts his hand in his bosom.
“Doctor. No Maia.”
“…?”
and.
rising suspicion.
Emerald as material.
Carved dragon pattern.
what the heck is this ring
And what does that slightly cheeky, very shameless smile mean?
before I even know the answer.
The scale tattoo on the back of the hand shines, invoking the power of compulsion to obey any command.
put out the ring
while on one knee.
The man politely ordered.
“Will you be my bride?”
