#909. No,
even when I was still hunting the Liberation Brigade.
Even when confronted with the World Federation.
Limon always took the lead in fighting them.
Even the ghosts of the Liberation Brigade were beings that could not be underestimated if they used Descent of the Constellation, and the monarchs were the absolute rulers of this era.
It was because it was not easy to deal with the sword master unless he stepped forward himself.
Even he was dangerous a few times.
“…Are you really going to be okay with just the two of you?”
So it was.
When Li Qing-yu said that they would take care of the remnants of the World Federation by themselves, Limon had no choice but to ask a question.
However, the princesses felt sorry for Limon’s question.
“Thank you for your concern, but…”
“Your brother is worried about everything too. You really think we can’t handle even two lords?”
“You swordsman are really arrogant too.”
Rose with a bitter smile.
Yekathrice with a shy smile.
Charlotte raised her eyebrows slightly.
In addition to the expressionless Ainsha and silently smoking Hasneti.
Limon could understand the reactions of the girls who expressed dissatisfaction with his concerns.
They are also absolute.
Even the princess who completed the dragon’s blood was a superhuman who rivaled the sword master.
Even though he was a sword master, it was too much to treat him like a child on the water’s edge.
Nevertheless, there is one reason why Limon couldn’t help but worry about them.
“I wouldn’t worry if everything was perfect, but you guys aren’t feeling well right now.”
Charlotte, who suffered internal injuries from the fight in the Indian Territory this time.
Li Qingyu, who was seriously injured in a desperate fight with a sword gun, Maia Ainsha Yekatrice, and
Rose and Hasneti, who suffered deep internal injuries while stopping the sword masters in the London Defense Battle.
As much as Limon had been fighting until now.
The seven princesses have also been fighting fierce battles with him all over the world against transcendental beings such as monarchs, sword masters, and demons.
Even empty words, far from saying that it was perfect, it was to the point of being fortunate enough not to be hospitalized.
In fact, not too long ago, everyone was training in Quetzalcoatl.
“…not wrong. Still, it’s enough to deal with the remnants of the World Federation.”
“It’s not perfect, but it’s good enough to fight.”
nevertheless.
they didn’t hesitate
Rather, he only looked at Limon with a determined will.
“Hmm, do you think so?”
“Your swordsman.”
“You can wait for them to come out of the dungeon and catch them. At least, recover a little more before starting work.”
“Of course it could be, but… I don’t think we should give the World Federation time.”
I found the remnants of the World Federation, but that is only now.
Considering their thoroughness, there was a good chance they would change hiding places regularly.
And if supplies were replenished in a place other than the Republic of Goryeo, it could have been missed again.
Above all, it is better to act immediately because you do not know what tricks the World Federation will do if you give it time.
Speaking as the ruler of the Seven Dragons.
Li Qingyu added a word.
“There are other methods worth trying.”
“How do you mean?”
“Even if we don’t borrow the power of the swordsman, it means that we don’t have to deal with the remnants of the World Federation alone.”
“…indeed.”
twirling
Hearing the plan presented by Li Qingyu with a gentle smile, Limon agreed.
I don’t know if it will go well, but if it goes according to her plan, it won’t be that difficult to deal with the remnants of the World Federation.
“Then there is only one thing to worry about.”
“Is that what you mean?”
“okay.”
He nodded to Li Qingyu, who had a serious expression on his face at once, as if this was a problem he had already assumed.
Limon ended his speech with a cold face.
“Because the risk of this fight will be different depending on whether Vlad is still cooperating with the World Federation and how much he has conserved his strength.”

Quietly.
Let’s open our closed eyes
What is reflected in the eyes is darkness.
It may not be dark at all thanks to the pale starlight, but everything feels darker because of the blurry contrast between light and shade.
It was a while to remain silent in that calm and cool space.
“Cool!”
The moment you cough.
Black blood poured out.
It’s too cloudy and sticky to have just been vomited, and it feels like it’s half-rotten.
After spitting out such blood several times, he stopped coughing and wiped his dirty mouth with the back of his hand.
Then he leaned his back against the wall and murmured.
“…isn’t it too soon?”
weakened body.
energy to get out.
to excruciating pain.
His condition worsened with each passing day.
The fact that the river of death is gradually approaching, which no absolute can ever escape from, but cannot overcome.
It was unavoidable.
He was originally dead once.
Since the death of Wanderer and the law of resuscitation of the lion began to break, his destruction was a predetermined outcome.
The reason why he has been able to keep his life so far is thanks to all kinds of black magic and all sorts of expedient ways to forcibly hold on to his life.
But that too is now at its limit.
A few months at most.
Within a few weeks at the earliest, he would eventually die.
‘It’s not that there’s no way to survive…’
As a black magician.
He judged soberly.
Although magic is not omnipotent, it is omnipotent.
In particular, black magic, which does not care about exceeding taboos, has made virtually any impossible possible if the price is sufficient.
If they caught random people and offered them as sacrifices, they could have maintained the law of reviving the dead by force.
‘Is there any meaning?’
But judge that.
He blatantly ignored it.
Since Wanderer died in the first place, achieving his long-cherished wish became infinitely closer to impossible.
In the midst of this, there was no reason or need to maintain Myeong by such a temporary measure.
That’s why I think.
Do I need to hold out any longer?
Unless you can achieve your dream.
Even if he persisted, the only thing he would get was the pain of his body rotting alive as a side effect of the black magic.
It might be better to put everything down here and just die a peaceful death.
But…
“No, not yet.”
Raise your bowed head.
It rekindles the dim light in the eyes.
Even if your own destruction has already been decided, there are things you can never give up.
I grabbed the spear leaning on my shoulder.
Rely on it to raise your body.
Leaving behind the worn-out tombstone that had spent the night leaning against it.
He moved slowly.
Before this insignificant life is over.
to do what must be done.

Free Cities Federation.
The Bronze Age of the past.
A state established in the former Greek territory that Plato obtained autonomy after negotiating with the seven dragons.
A federation of city-states with independent autonomy for each city, it has long been called Europe outside Europe and has maintained a unique political structure.
As the mayor elected by the citizens becomes the enemy of each city-state, the rights of citizens are strong.
Also, with the unique competition method of the Olympics, it has never experienced a civil war.
But where there are advantages, there are also disadvantages.
As the government is separated by city unit, the overall unity is low, but the Olympics have been held regularly and the confrontation has continued.
As a result, the cities belonging to the Free Cities Federation had a fierce rivalry with each other.
Just like siblings who grew up being compared by their parents would live fighting each other for superiority and inferiority for the rest of their lives.
In that sense, recently.
When the World Federation collapsed.
Among the city-states of the Free Cities Federation, there were those who felt rather relieved.
Of course they knew.
They also received many benefits thanks to the World Federation’s headquarters being established in the Free City Federation.
It also meant that the situation would get worse in various ways in the future as long as even the Creator went missing.
Nevertheless, there is one reason why they are happy.
“Big Athena, those foolish bastards. They boasted that the World Federation Headquarters was in their city, and it turned out bad.”
“I remember? Didn’t you say that Athens would become the center of the world if the World Federation defeats the Seven Dragons and seizes hegemony?”
“Ha then, since the proud World Federation has collapsed, Athens is now the ass hole of the world.”
“Puhaha that makes sense!”
who did it
Humans are creatures who regard the misfortune of others as their own happiness.
Of course, it would be a pessimistic and cynical prejudice, as would be the case with any foremost person in the world, that all human beings have such a low character.
But at least in the current Free Cities Federation, it was true.
After the World Federation was established last year.
It is because there were so many cities that were boiling inside because of the power and boasting of the citizens of Athens.
And among them, by far, there were the citizens of the city who were most satisfied with this job.
Sparta.
A military state that has always competed for the lead with Athens in the Free City League.
Even among city-states with bad relations with each other, the two cities were notorious for being close to enemies.
If Athens became a mourning house when the World Federation collapsed, Sparta virtually became a festive mood.
“Ah, it’s a pity that even the Demiurge Guild disappeared. I liked that the weapons there were cheap and strong.”
“How are you? It’s a hundred times better to just buy some expensive weapons than to see Athenians strutting all their lives.”
“Well…”
“Come to think of it, I heard that GOD brand products are good these days, but don’t they make weapons there?”
“I saw an ad saying that a heavy machine gun with the blessing of Ares, the god of war, will be released, but…” “
It’s hard to use firearms in a dungeon. But if it has Ares-sama’s blessing attached, should I just throw it away?”
…A truly macho country with a long history in that they don’t care if they see blood, as long as they can feed others.
No, it was an act like a military state.
And among the citizens of Sparta, it was the combat players who were particularly pleased.
It was a combat job to join Demiurge, and a low level to join the World Federation.
That’s why those who were dissatisfied could boast of their foresight, saying that it wasn’t that they couldn’t enter, but that they didn’t enter because they thought it was a damn place anyway.
“The Athenians seduced you, so let’s go do some work.”
“Well, the player who enters the dungeon early raises one level more.”
“But isn’t it a bit strange these days?”
“Is it strange?”
“In the dungeon, it seems that it is harder to find monsters than before, but on the contrary, there are more cases of disappearance by party.”
“Hey, are you scared?”
“Who’s scared of being scared?! It’s just weird!”
Even as they thumped like that, the players moved toward the dungeon in the heart of Sparta.
The look was really flat.
A dungeon is a job for a player.
It was a place that mid-level players have already visited hundreds of times, so there was no reason to be nervous every time you go.
Took.
“huh?”
Fuck!
“what…?”
dump.
But, at least for today, they had better be a little nervous.
If that was the case, at least I wouldn’t be in a position where I fainted without knowing why.
Of course, even if I was nervous, the result would be the same.
As if emerging from the shadows.
A black-haired woman who subdued them without a trace.
Wei-ling silently watched as the men who came with him captured the fainted players and carried them away.
Then, after contacting the other armed forces and checking the suppression situation around the dungeon, he connected the mental response to the transmission of the voices spread by his subordinates.
[Princess. Preparations are complete.]
