Solo Swordmaster Chapter 953

#953. Lee, hurry.

* * *

Predators.

the far distant past.

An ancient spirit is coming.

before the golden age.

Humanity was suffering from pain and hardship and was on the brink of extinction.

It wasn’t just because humans were physically weak and at the bottom of the food chain.

It was because the environment at the time was very poor.

drought, flood, epidemic, etc.

Of course, even the smallest disaster was enough to wipe out an entire tribe.

It is because of the distant ancient times when all kinds of monsters and creatures that were not even told in legends were overflowing to such an extent that even the seven-colored bird, which revived even after being killed, was threatened with extinction.

And among all the creatures, there was the most terrifying monster.

That’s a predator.

swallowing anything

It eats up entire continents.

It was a monster recorded as the worst beast in human history along with the spirit beast that changed the world’s topography and history itself.

“…absurd, really.”

So it was.

The reason why Ekatriche couldn’t help but laugh while watching the tactical situation board in Moscow.

Even if the country collapsed, she was a woman who could laugh cheerfully and move on, saying it was fun.

but this moment.

What happened all over the world was something that even she couldn’t laugh at.

“How many canas are there in all?”

“Currently, only 16 have been confirmed in Korea.”

“There are 16 beasts corresponding to the absolute class… fantastic.”

A predator is a beast that even swallows continents.

If it was an absolute class, it could be dealt with, but on the contrary, it was a monster that would be difficult to deal with without an absolute class.

The appearance of more than 10 such monsters meant that even the most powerful nation had to prepare for destruction.

Even this Russian Khanate.

And it was not only the Russian Khanate that was in such a crisis.

“…Was the predator really a monster created by the Constellation in the first place?”

Egypt.

A naked beauty who was looking at the situation board in the palace.

Hasneti murmured with a cigarette in her mouth.

It is a fact that the summoning lord who used Descent in the past should have been suspicious since he summoned the predatory beast.

It was a mistake to overlook it due to the fact that it is an ancient beast that existed before the golden age.

Well, it wasn’t anything strange.

In the first place, it was the Constellations that destroyed the Balaur, the ancestors of Earth.

If there were predators among the monsters they used at the time, and if they had self-sustaining abilities, they would have been able to breed on Earth on their own.

Perhaps there are more such monsters among the other ancient beasts that have not been recorded.

“Uh… what should I do, princess?”

The problem is that the blockade operation is endangered because the predators appeared simultaneously.

It would be possible to deal with it if Hasneti herself went out on her own, but she was alone.

By the time she has dealt with the predators that have appeared across Africa, dozens of blockades will have collapsed.

So close your eyes

Hasneti was lost in thought.

“I think it’s about seven.”

“What do you mean?”

“…the possibility that the princess can fend off predators without stepping out.”

Will the power currently deployed in the containment area be able to handle the number of predators?

If you ask objectively.

that it is possible enough

In Quetzalcoatl, Maia spoke coldly.

In the blockade area, along with all kinds of high-tech weapons produced in the Russian Khanate, the experts of the Seven Dragons were dispatched.

So if you mobilize all that firepower and ability.

The regenerative power and durability alone were sufficient to block even predators that surpassed even the absolute self-class superman.

…about a 70% chance.

The problem is twofold.

One is consumption in the process.

Another was the 30% chance of failure.

Even if only a few blockade areas collapsed, predators and monsters that jumped out of them would attack other blockade areas.

It is absolutely impossible to stop it in a state exhausted from fighting predators.

To prevent that situation, it was best for the princesses to step out and deal with the predatory water as soon as possible.

The reason they were waiting in the first place was to respond immediately to such an unexpected situation.

“Would you like to step out?”

“I’m not going.”

nevertheless.

Ainsha, a white-haired girl in the Holy League palace, declared without hesitation.

Then he said while looking at the screen with an expressionless face.

“It is predatory bait. It’s a trick we’re trying to pull off. It is not moving yet.”

Is that the prediction of the clairvoyant?

Or is it intuition as a prophet?

Tata didn’t bother to ask.

Not only was it natural for her to follow the will of the princess she respected, but her own judgment was the same as Ainsha’s.

“For now, just watch.”

“Are you okay with that?”

“If it’s to the point where we have to step in already, it’s a losing war anyway.”

“You are right, my princess.”

At the words of the blonde beauty Charlotte, who was sitting with her legs crossed, Elise quietly bowed her head and agreed.

this is war.

It’s not something that will end overnight.

It was a bad idea to waste the power of the princesses, who are the commander of the Seven Dragons and the best fighters, from the beginning.

All the more so as the Constellations might use predatory water as bait.

The problem was how to minimize the damage and stop the predators unless the princesses came forward… but,

“Above all, the cards we prepared aren’t enough yet.”

If it had only ended like this, the whole clan of the Seven Dragons wouldn’t have been running so bloody all this time.

When Charlotte murmured lazily.

A change occurred in the screen that showed the predators rampaging in the containment area.

Bang kwaguawang!

The moment when the light suddenly flashed.

Half of the body of a predator bigger than a building exploded.

Its identity is a missile.

It was smaller and nimble than the Russian Kanze shells and missiles fired by military units in the blockade area, but with overwhelming destructive power.

And where the missiles flew.

The shadow that fell from the distant sky cut off the head of the predator that was just regenerating and shouted.

Fuck!

[The wings shake.]

[The engines emit fire.]

[Emergency response to break through the speed of sound.]

[To protect world peace.]

[To achieve the happiness of mankind.]

[EARF belonging to the 3rd Division of the Air Division of the Spirit Sentai. -0012 Jet Plane, the spirit of the sky!] The

giant robot changed from jet form to human form and slashed predatory water with a giant sword.

The blockade army, who realized its identity only belatedly, was tinged with joy.

“It’s the Spirit Squadron! The spirit squadron has come as reinforcements!”

“I lived…!”

Unlike other spirits created to help and serve humanity, the guardian spirit of the Fairy Kingdom was created for combat.

Armed with all kinds of weapons made with technology that transcends humanity, they could threaten even the absolute.

Abnormally, the spirit squadron appeared.

If they joined forces with the blockade force, it was possible to stop even predators.

In addition, the reinforcements were not only the spirit squadron.

Various spirits supplying ammunition, restoring the camp, and transporting the wounded even though they are for non-combat purposes.

In addition, it was originally remodeled for combat to annihilate mankind, but the grudge of the spirits disappeared and even the fallen spirits were led by the fairy queen.

Numerous spirits waiting in various places appeared in the blockade area and were blocking predators.

“As expected, the guardian deity of the early mankind was not false.”

So Yekathrice admired.

Not just one or two places, but dozens of dungeons around the world, to immediately inject spirits of that size.

This feat was only possible because she was a Fairy Queen who had been preparing for the battle against the Constellation while taking care of humanity since the beginning of human civilization.

Of course, there were many spirits that were damaged during that long period of time…

“If we hadn’t helped by operating the factory at 600% full capacity, the number of spirits that could actually be used would have been less than 40%.”

“Instead, we couldn’t have gotten the latest technology for free. Isn’t this a WIN-WIN?”

I also said that I did a good job getting the subcontract.

Yekathrice said with a smile.

Thanks to helping the spirits maintain and learning the skills of the fairies, the silver dragon clan achieved at least decades of technological development at once.

It was thanks to that that the blockade force’s weapons worked relatively well against the monsters.

It was a pity that there were many skills that I hadn’t mastered yet because of lack of time.

“…At least it seems that the hangover has passed.”

Rose was relieved.

Of course, thanks to the spirits, the predators were stopped.

Dealing with the monsters pouring out of the dungeon became even easier.

At this level, they should be able to block the monster wave without any problems for a while.

“Even if it is, it’s just hangover.”

But Hasneti knew.

As if the predator suddenly came out.

That this situation could be overturned no matter how many tricks the Constellations used.

“…I don’t know how long I can last.”

So put your hands together

Ainsha prayed.

So did the other princesses.

In the office building, in the palace, in the basement.

Because they were waiting impatiently while watching the blockade area centered on numerous dungeons.

“So hurry up.”

―I hope that my lover will not be late.

* * *

And likewise.

he was waiting

Alone, unlike other princesses who are with their entourage and their clan.

In the darkness where only a few dim lights flicker without a clear light, let alone a screen.

However, while vividly feeling the chaos and turmoil going on all over the world with the senses of a sword master,

he never gets impatient.

with both eyes closed.

Just deep and quiet.

-beep.

It was a signal that woke him from such silence.

At the same time, a calm voice came through the communicator to him.

[The coordinates have been confirmed.]

“…What is the error?”

[Fortunately, no. It’s because I took so much time to check it.]

“Then I guess we don’t have to wait any longer.”

Wasn’t the waiting time comfortable for him too?

Contrary to his calm appearance, he opened his closed eyes without the slightest hesitation and immediately placed his palm on the glass plate in front of him.

And the moment he opened his mouth.

“Activate the Elemental Engine.”

Ugh.

with vibration.

One screen brightened.

[Identification check―Check.]

[System check―All green.]

[Power utilization rate check―99.99%.]

[Internal and external institution check―Perfect.]

….

….

….

[Check that there is no problem in starting OK.]

[Elemental engine activated.]

Damn it!

maybe dozens?

Or maybe hundreds.

The moment when you want countless letters and lists to pass by the screen in the blink of an eye.

A bright light dyed the surroundings, and the space surrounded by darkness revealed its true appearance.

Numerous screens centered on a huge screen that fills the field of view not only from the front but also from the left and right.

A dashboard full of switches.

From the hologram of a translucent sphere rotating on the ceiling to the painting of a green tree swaying on the floor.

To him, who was sitting in a strange seat in the middle of a space full of all sorts of machines and objects of unknown purpose.

What I heard was a dry mechanical sound.

[Welcome aboard, Captain Limon Aspelder. Please give me an order.]

That calm request.

Limon did not refuse.

I just put my hand on the control panel attached to the left and right of the seat.

So the moment he flipped a few switches as he learned from Dances with Wolves.

Koo Goo Goo Palace.

The dock door opened with a heavy mechanical sound, and the sunlight that permeated from the ground dimly shone in the far underground.

at the bottom of it.

it was

metal hull.

Smooth, streamlined body.

To the left and right of the wide deck, the wings stretched out like sails.

Too weird to be a ship.

Even more bizarre for an aircraft.

The moment Limon pulled the control stick from the bridge of the ship that could only be called a flagship.

A dance with wolves has been sealed for hundreds of years, but eventually revived with the help of the Continental Guardians and the Fairy Queen.

The best armored ship of mankind.

The worst pirate ship in history.

Another legacy left by the Fairy King.

“—The launch of the Santa María.”

Quaaaaaaaa!

Pirate Columbus’ ship flew into the sky again after hundreds of years.
