#728. The answer is simple.
* * *
Rashid al-Din Sinan.
Before the establishment of the Holy League.
I was born in a country called Iraq.
At the end of several failed attempts to assassinate Saladin, the hero of the day, as Hashashin.
The first human to prove that even non-sword masters can become sword masters on their own by mastering swordsmanship in the gap between life and death.
That was the black one.
Is that why?
Even though he was a sword master, he had little identity as a swordsman.
He’s essentially an assassin.
It was because he was someone who valued killing the enemy by any means rather than fighting head-on.
Watching the massacre of sword demons.
Avoid fighting with the Sword King.
Trying to assassinate the swordsman.
tailing the sword, etc.
The life itself, which thoroughly avoided fights with low odds and moved only when there was certainty of victory, proved its thoroughness.
To the extent that he would never have died had he not fallen into Limon’s trap and been assassinated in reverse.
“…”
So at this moment.
Black was calculating.
The Black Dragon Princess spreads her wings of shadow.
No, whether to fight against the dragon that has returned after hundreds of years or just retreat.
And the moment the calculation is done.
He immediately went into action.
『Sword without form
سيف غير ملموس 力術
Sword of Destruction
سيف الدمار』
Kurleung.
Cut away all signs and forms.
Immediately after the finger moves while
hiding itself .
The snow that covered the ground swayed.
Ten strands of rope protruded from it.
The thick blades, each one made by entwining dozens of threads, stretched out toward Li Qingyu.
“Are you going to see the liver?”
Even if the secret is lost.
Instead, countless threads are intertwined.
Li Qingyu murmured as he looked at the blades of the rope, each of which had the power to blow away even a mountain.
“It’s certainly a prudent choice, but I’m disappointed.”
Swoop.
After letting out a deep sigh.
Li Qingyu slowly stretched out his hand.
Thus, the moment when the thin island corn spreads out as if it would break if you hold it.
“―I can’t believe I looked so easygoing.”
Black paused.
As if sucked into itself.
It wasn’t just because all ten ropes were caught in her hands, which had eight remnants overlapping them.
The rope, which should have unraveled as soon as it was caught and poured out hundreds of blades, was stuck in its slender fingers.
And…
cooung!
Feet stepping on Jin-Gak.
Eyes flipped like tidal waves.
A rope pulled taut.
A power that literally transcends the limits of the human species, which is difficult to handle even with the strength of a sword master.
Because of that, the black man, who was almost dragged into the snowdrift as if the whole rope exploded, hurriedly untied the rope and pulled himself back out.
no i was trying to get it out.
“Where are you going?”
“…!”
As if beyond space.
clad in the wings of shadow.
If it weren’t for the existence of a girl who crossed the sky-high snow waves and approached right in front of him.
Realizing that his track had been revealed due to the tight rope, the sword immediately responded.
『Formless Sword Fighting
سيف غير ملموس 鬪術
Fighting Sword
سيف القتال』
Instead of a loose rope.
Wrap your new gift around your finger.
What was created was a scimitar made of thread.
As soon as the sword grabbed the crescent-shaped sword so thin that it was invisible to the naked eye, it swung at Li Qingyu.
The cutting power of the ultra-high-speed waving blade is absolute.
As long as it wasn’t the same sword master’s sword, it was possible to cut through anything.
Taang!
…It was useless if I couldn’t hit the opponent.
Hit the side of the knife and deflect it.
stabbing your elbow
Until it breaks into your arms.
The sword was not taken aback by Li Qingyu’s counterattack, which made all movements smooth like flowing water.
As if he expected this much, he
twisted his back to avoid Li Qingyu’s elbow and swung his scimitar like a storm.
Papa baba bababat!
The wind explodes.
The sound breaks.
The flash vibrates.
In less than a second, the scimitar swung hundreds of times created a trail of death.
Even though he might not prefer a head-to-head confrontation, his reputation as a sword master showed no gaps in his swordsmanship.
Even as a sword master who cuts through all forms, the black sword changed dozens of times while wielding it.
Even absolutes had no choice but to be slaughtered in an instant in front of that ever-changing blade.
no it shouldn’t have been
But…
Tadadadadadadat!
The claws clenched with ten warriors gripped the blade.
The sharp kicks of the chain-honed stoat pods cut my ankles.
The tail swung according to the Kyoryongpacheonryu (蛟蛇派川流) cuts off the blade.
The foot, which had stepped into the black heavenly soul flow, exquisitely dug into the gap.
The hand holding the phoenix butterfly flutters like a butterfly, aiming for the neck.
therefore.
What unfolded was a scuffle.
Chow!
The thread stretched from the scimitar grazed the girl’s neck.
A secret police officer dug in and knocked on the man’s waist.
The collided scimitar and hand bounced off in the opposite direction, making each other’s wrists squeak, cut palms, and so on.
splashing with blood.
flesh splitting.
In the precarious gap where life would fly away even if a loophole was revealed for a moment.
Girl opening her mouth.
“Are you weird? Why can’t you cut me?”
Even in the midst of this fierce battle, there was not even an inch of shaking, let alone breathing.
Asking questions calmly.
With deep and mysterious eyes.
the girl smiles
“Well, that’s what you do. The only match between a sword master and a sword master is the same sword master, and even our ancestors couldn’t cross that wall after all.”
Chew!
Even while talking like that, the girl is constantly exchanging air and air attacks with the sword.
Black ignored her words.
no i tried to ignore it
However, the strangely clear voice that penetrated his ears made the black man unable to ignore her.
“But let me give you one word.”
look at that black
with a smiley face.
The moment the girl spoke.
“—You know the subject.”
Quaang!
“…!”
The black one was pushed back.
The moment when the fluttering wings behind Li Qingyu’s back suddenly feel like they’re about to swell up.
The tremendous shock created by the overlapping of the palm-shaped traces that had swelled to 64 in the air shook his internal organs.
However, what annoyed him more than the shock was the girl’s calm eyes and the words that followed.
“Do not forget it.”
“It is the Sword Emperor and the Sword Demon Swordsman who cut our ancestors.”
“But just because you’re the same sword master doesn’t mean you think you’re on the same level as them, right?”
Of course not.
Even if he hadn’t seen the Sword Emperor.
Living in the same era as Sword Demon.
As much as he was killed by the swordsman.
He was well aware of how monsters they were, even by the standards of a sword master.
Still can’t understand
Even though he is not enough compared to the three who were active in the Bronze Age, he, as a sword master, is on par with only one Li Qingyu…
no, the reason why he is gradually on the defensive.
“You still don’t know? That there is a difference between you and them that is more decisive than strength and weakness.”
Perong!
But try to find your own gaps.
Right after he swung his scimitar at Li Qingyu, who rushed at him again.
No, to be precise, the moment I saw the scimitar that bounced off her scales.
Black realized.
What is the most important difference between you and the three sword masters, the sword master, the sword master, and the sword master?
“…the dragon killing sword.”
“That is correct.”
seems peculiar.
with a smiley face.
However, Li Qingyu continued talking as he mercilessly attacked the sword.
“Sword masters are beings who can cut anything.”
“Nevertheless, those three sword masters only trained their swordsmen to slay dragons.”
“What do you think is the reason?”
Dragon Killing Sword.
A sword that cuts the future and shapes destiny, which only three sword masters who faced dragons could master.
But don’t be mistaken.
It was only the result derived from the swordsmith, and
the real purpose of the sword emperor’s invention was only one.
That it was to slay the dragon.
“The answer is simple.”
“…”
“Because if I didn’t do that, I couldn’t guarantee victory.”
causal too.
space too.
process too.
contradiction too.
A sword master who can cut anything, made, learned, and trained only to slash dragons.
Therefore, the three sword masters were able to slay the seven dragons thanks to the swordsman who had an absolute compatibility with the existence of dragons.
What if you say it the other way around?
“But do you really think you can defeat me, who don’t even know how to fight a dragon?”
Unless you have mastered the dragon slaughter sword.
No matter how much he is a sword master, he cannot defeat himself who inherited the power of the founder.
assert without hesitation.
Li Qingyu flicked the drops of blood on his palm with his fingers.
Taang!
The moment Scimitar blocked the drop of blood.
Explode the psionic contained in the drop of blood.
Li Qingyu, who dug into the gap, poured out an onslaught at the black again.
It is said that the Black Dragon Princess is the weakest in a head-to-head battle among the seven princesses, but that is a story of the past.
Muscular strength, instantaneous power, dynamic visual acuity, etc.
Going beyond being half-human, half-dragon, and being reborn as a perfect dragon, Li Qingyu’s physical abilities were upgraded, and his strength was never inferior to that of a sword master.
More than anything, what made her threatening was the martial arts based on infinite psionics.
The seventy-two types are made to be linked to each other, but even a gentrified princess can use them in conjunction with the ten seasons.
Even so, it required a lot of concentration and consumption.
They are princesses after all.
Because it was nothing more than a vessel for giving birth to dragons.
However, as a complete dragon, she was free from all restrictions.
light gesture.
stepping foot.
even breathing.
without even needing to be conscious.
Of course, each one of them automatically becomes a school and is linked to contain the power that goes beyond the ten seasons.
Even if there is no physical reality.
That’s why the wings of shadow that sway like dark clouds or rainstorm dazzle the eyes and disturb the mind and body.
Even the sword could not help but feel the pressure as the battle continued.
Quaang!
So it was.
After eventually turning the scimitar into hundreds of strands of thread.
The sword that spread like an explosion and forced Li Qingyu to retreat took advantage of the gap and melted into the air.
The sword, which had completely hidden its traces by slashing its shape and presence, quickly widened its distance from Li Qingyu.
He’s an assassin after all.
I don’t know if I’m sure
There was no reason to risk your life in a fight that there was no guarantee that you could win.
Jung If you want to kill her, you can always aim for an opening.
It was like cutting through the heart of the sword.
“Are you going to run away?”
But even though he suddenly disappeared.
Li Qingyu was not taken aback.
It seems to be as expected.
I just nodded.
And the moment she opened her mouth.
“Of course, of course.”
“…”
“No matter what you call the strongest assassin, your essence is nothing more than a mean coward after all.”
standing tall
The sword stopped withdrawing.
I can’t even feel that presence.
Li Qingyu smiled and continued, as if he knew he would stop.
“The proof is that he has a swordsman who hides and runs away even though he is an absolute sword master. Isn’t it?”
“…”
“If you want to run away, run away.”
“…”
“But keep in mind that from now on you will have to run away from me for the rest of your life, not just from the swordsman.”
Black calmly calculated.
Will I be able to escape like this?
It’s not bad if it’s just Li Qingyu.
But will Limon, who will be chasing him to repay the blood, give her a chance to target her?
Rather, isn’t this the last chance to catch her?
So he thought again.
I wonder if I can’t defeat Li Qingyu.
and judged
no i can win
Because he still had a spleen left.
so judged.
as he bleeds
the moment you open your mouth.
“LA—had kAl Ra.”
Wow!
A short order echoes through the air.
The world has changed.
The endless snowfield disappeared, and instead, the vast desert filled the whole area.
A land covered in poisonous sand.
The hot sunlight that seems to set your body on fire.
Even a group of scorpions rising like waves.
Suddenly, in the blink of an eye, Li Qingyu tilted his head slightly in the scenery where the whole world seemed to have turned into enemies.
“It’s a little unexpected.”
It seems that I am sincerely surprised.
But it doesn’t seem surprising.
A quiet conversation that continues.
“I thought you were a wizard or maybe a warlock.”
I want to make my own sword.
Gather the mysteries of magic and alchemy.
After long research, he invented an unprecedented sword called Sword Wire.
“I didn’t know how to use the priest’s magic.”
In other words, at the end of looking around the last resort of the sword, being an assassin before being a sword master, and being an alchemist and a priest at the same time.
Li Qingyu suddenly muttered.
“Oh indeed. Was it like that?”
“…”
“You must have been a saint of God who has already died.”
“…!”
“Is that why you had the long-cherished desire to become a god in place of a dead god? A god of death who never dies and can kill any being?”
Even use magic, which was a trump card.
Confusing Li Qingyu.
The sword, which was trying to ambush by
maximizing its power, was agitated.
I don’t know why she knows the secret that only she knows.
but right after that.
Black realized.
Telepathy.
He made the Black Dragon Clan compete for the weakest in the Seven Dragons.
Originally, a power that only reads emotional fragments, shows hallucinations, and erases one’s own existence.
However, the infinite psionics that Li Qingyu obtained as a perfect dragon allowed him to overcome the limits of such mental communication.
…the moment he used magic.
Use that gap to dig into your mind.
To the extent that I could read my thoughts, my heart, and even my memories.
Charleuk!
Black was furious.
Then, to punish the dirty dragon who dared to steal his heart, he unleashed thousands of silver threads and cut Li Qingyu.
Fu-wook!
But right after that.
He couldn’t help but harden.
The moment he was cut down by his gift.
It wasn’t just because Li Qingyu’s shattered corpse, splattered with blood, had turned into a shadow and collapsed.
A burning pain in the heart.
A nail sticking out of his chest.
And…
“Don’t call me cowardly.”
appear behind you.
pierced his own chest.
A beautiful black dragon figure.
The sword stiffened.
“You may have been the strongest assassin, but you just weren’t the best.”
“…”
And hearing Li Qingyu’s shining eyes and still clear-cut voice, he realized anew.
Why did she keep talking to herself?
Why couldn’t he, who was the most calm among all sword masters, overcome Li Qingyu’s provocation?
Why did Limon regard the Black Dragon Princess as the most dangerous in the Seven Dragons and be wary of it?
The only being who was able to kill a sword master without being a sword master.
What kind of monster were the seven dragons?
『Seventy-two kinds of martial arts,
twelve verse dragons, seventy-two kinds of martial arts, seventy-two kinds of martial arts,
seventy-two
kinds of martial arts, and demonic eyes
.
The most dangerous of the 13 sword masters, a saint who reigned in fear and wanted to become a god of death.
It was the moment when the black Rashid was defeated by the resurrected dragon at the end of a long time…
…and the moment when a sword master was killed one-on-one by someone other than the sword master for the first time in history.
