Chapter 209

#209. you crossed the line

Yuna-kyung thought involuntarily.

Limon is also very cruel.

Those straightforward words, without any sign of roundabout words, were really as sharp as a sword master’s blade.

Above all, Carol’s appearance, as if she had lost her soul, made her feel sympathy for her.

‘Well, the shock must be great.’

He would have regarded the gloomy time as his daughter’s enemy and lived half his life only for revenge.

When it was pointed out that all of this was just a grandiose shovel or an escape from reality to shake off guilt, it was enough to make the soul run away.

“can not believe it.”

However, the moment she met Carol’s eyes as she slowly lifted her head like a broken marionette.

Yuna-kyung stiffened.

“How do I know this isn’t some crafty witch trick to trick me?”

A chilly voice that doesn’t feel any mental shock or agitation from before.

But more than that, while Yuna-kyung swallowed dry saliva while looking at Carol’s eyes glistening with a strange brilliance, Rose answered calmly.

“I certify on my honor that all of this is true.”

“No, I can’t believe it. Isn’t there a law that says you won’t be fooled by witches, too?”

In response to Carol’s firm answer, Rose asked quietly.

“Then how can I trust you?”

“There is a very simple way.”

It’s like you’ve been waiting for that question.

Carol continued with a broad smile that seemed like a good person as usual.

“Let’s confine all the witches so they can’t do any more tricks and get rid of the London showdown once again.”

“…”

“But if those monsters don’t disappear, can’t witches be trusted?”

In order to have trust in witches who are inherently cunning and skilled in deceit, isn’t this the right thing to do?

Rose fell silent as she saw Carol smiling and talking.

It was Syrr who spoke on behalf of her heavy-faced face.

“That’s a logic I’ve heard a lot about somewhere.”

It doesn’t seem particularly surprising.

Or even miss it.

The legendary archwitch, who was laughing loudly, continued with a languid smile.

“I used to use that kind of logic well in Malleus Maleficarum, the hammer that judges witches.”

Children, adults and old women.

It could all be a witch’s disguise, so be suspicious.

And get a confession from prison. No matter how much torture is done to a witch, it is not a crime.

If you do not confess your sins to the end, burn them in fire or drown them in water. If she died, she would be an innocent woman, and if she came back to life, she would be an evil witch who had violated God’s providence.

From the Silver Age to the Age of Heroes.

They were the same eyes as those who, for all sorts of reasons, blamed witches for killing them and were proud of upholding justice.

Carol laughed at Sir, whose eyes were cold even though he was clearly smiling.

“Isn’t the existence of such a logic proof of history that witches cannot be trusted?”

Seonghyeon’s great teachings should be learned and followed.

Looking at Carol who spoke with a warm smile, Rose said with a hard face.

“If those monsters don’t go away even if Prince Charles destroys the battle system in London, many Londoners will be in danger.”

“If that’s the case, don’t worry. I will take all responsibility.”

In Carol’s confident answer, I could feel the saint’s determination to sacrifice herself for the greater good.

It was for this reason that Limon twitched his lips when he heard those words.

“Are you going to take responsibility? you? how?”

“How?”

Seeing Carol unable to hide her embarrassment as if she hadn’t expected to be asked such a question, Limon let out a laugh.

Well, if he, the absolute man of this era, would take responsibility, others would have just passed on.

But Limon didn’t.

Because I knew better than anyone that there were limits to what even an absolute person could take responsibility for.

Above all, there was absolutely no reason why Limon couldn’t let Carol’s words go.

“Five people.”

“What do you mean five people?”

“The number of people killed by the fog that bloomed in the middle of the night when the ball was held on the first day of Walpurgis Night.”

“…!”

When London is in chaos because of that sudden fog.

Thanks to the agile response of the Blue Dragon clan, it was possible to avoid large-scale casualties, but that did not mean that there was no damage at all.

Twenty-five people died in an accident or were crushed by people while running away from the fog. There were hundreds of minor injuries.

“How are you going to take responsibility for their lives?”

Did he not know that he would be pointed out now, or did he not care about the casualties at all?

It was only for a moment that I was startled and agitated.

Carol, who soon regained her composure, opened her mouth.

“It was a disaster caused by the rampage of the London showdown. So, if we are to blame, shouldn’t we ask the witches?”

“…I see.”

All original sins are the fault of the witches who created the gloomy mist in the first place. That there is no responsibility of oneself.

For a moment, look at Carol, who asserts without hesitation, with cold eyes.

Limon languidly opened his mouth.

“You are already a monster.”

“A monster? I?”

“okay. Absolutes who are unable to take responsibility for their own sins are destined to become monsters like you.”

Those who make someone to resent and leave all their sins and responsibilities behind, believing it to be their belief and following it, are already monsters.

Limon, who said it quietly, added a cold word.

“Just like the swordswoman Joan of Arc did.”

“…Are you saying I’m no different than that slayer?”

“No less than that.”

Was it because it was unpleasant to be compared to the Sword Master, who was recorded as the worst slayer in the history of the British Empire?

Limon coldly spoke to Carol, who forgot even the mask-like smile and put on a cold expression.

“Joan of Arc became a monster because her conviction to protect the country became an obsession, but you just want to do stupid things because you don’t want your life to be denied.”

“It’s senility…”

She laughed at the blatant criticism once.

Carol smiled again and opened her mouth.

“Yes, if I become a monster like you said. Then what will you do?”

Right or wrong, it doesn’t matter.

Anyway, the confrontation system has to be broken.

Witches must also disappear.

“Can you stop me? Like Count Rose, who can’t even control her own psionics, or an ancient witch who can only use obsolete magic?”

And if anyone gets in his way, he won’t forgive anyone.

Looking back at Carol, who spoke with a casual smile, Yuna-kyung felt goosebumps.

And I realized all over again.

An absolute being who moves with unstoppable power, ignoring laws, logic, and beliefs, and denouncing enemies as evil only with his own stubbornness and mood.

That’s why Limon called it a monster.

Because Carol’s smiling face at this moment looked so terrible and frightening.

But while even Rose couldn’t hide her tension, Limon didn’t show any agitation.

He just calmly answered Carol’s question.

“I can stop it.”

“is it? Then try.”

As if admiring that spirit, Carol nodded.

Then he smiled and raised his wand.

“If you can survive after receiving this… 『The Great Elemental Break』.”

At the same time, what appeared at the tip of his staff was a brilliant light.

9 classes of magic that dismantle all substances and mysteries in the world that can be used because he can handle all elements.

Even Carol’s spell didn’t end there.

“『Spell Rank Up』 『Triple Spell』 『Great Elemental Break』 『Great Elemental Break』.”

The moment the three light spheres that floated at the tip of the staff overlapped in the air.

“【World Break】.”

The aftermath alone stirred the fog that had filled London.

Hundreds of shadow monsters and ghosts of Avalon around them melted.

Even the great sage’s wand, a monarch-class item, vibrates as if it would break, and smoke rises from his own body.

Carol didn’t care.

I just opened my mouth in a cold voice.

“To regret in hell the foolishness of being deceived by the witch.”

Kwaaang!

The moment when a ball of light as brilliant as the sun resting at the end of the wand was shot toward the pillar where Sir and Rose Limon stood.

Carol was convinced.

With this, they will die, and the magic circle that formed the center of the London confrontation will be destroyed.

Because this [World Break] was the ultimate magic that transcended the walls of the 9th class that he created out of tenacity to get rid of the gloomy fog.

‘…I can’t stop it.’

Rose’s face went pale.

[World Break], which Carol put all her energy into, was a skill that had the power to blow up an entire city.

It was a level that could only be prevented by linking seventy-two kinds of types at least six seasons, maybe more than seven seasons.

However, in this gloomy fog that twists the flow of time and space, the space-manipulating psionic is limited, so what she can unfold is limited to four seasons at best.

Even if he was prepared for internal injuries and played the five seasons, his power was reduced by half, so it was not at a level that he could not block.

Not to mention, it didn’t seem like the aftermath of the witches’ souls or the busy Syrr could stop them just by maintaining the London confrontation scene.

Is that why?

Rose’s instinct whispered.

He said that he, who was not yet ready to inherit the dragon’s blood, should not die here. So you have to run away right now.

As the princess of the Seven Dragons, that is her highest priority. It was an instinct that could never be denied.

In fact, it was possible for her to escape alone.

‘But…’

Even so, Rose hesitated and couldn’t get out of her seat.

The situation of Londoners who would be in danger if she left this place, her honor and pride, and the existence of a young man who would die if she ran away.

It was confusing Rose.

So, finally biting her lip until it bled, she raised her sword and stepped forward.

“Stay away.”

Rose suddenly put a hand on her shoulder and pulled her back instead of moving forward.

She was taken aback when she saw a dark-haired young man stepping forward in her place.

“What a dangerous thing…!”

Rose stretched out an arm to catch Limon.

The young man’s appearance against that destructive ray of light that even he could not stop without risking his life seemed so reckless.

Squeak.

But next moment.

She stiffened with her hand outstretched.

It was because he saw the sword drawn in the air by the sword in the young man’s hand before he knew it.

Like a petal fluttering in the wind, it is extremely soft and ephemeral, but that is why it is even more beautiful and lofty.

Before being the Blue Dragon Princess, as a single knight, Rose was mesmerized by the fantastic sword that she couldn’t take her eyes off of.

The moment the brilliance of 【World Break】 touched the tip of the sword that was moving so gracefully.

『Yam Dragon Sword Sword Dance

斬魔龍殺劍 劍舞

France’s flowers are in full bloom.

法國花開得亂七八糟』

The movement of the world stops.

The flying light hardened.

“…what?”

Carol blinked.

Rose, who was behind her, unconsciously held her breath, and Yuna-kyung opened her beak.

As if time had stopped.

The brilliance of [World Break], which has the power to blow up a city that does not move while touching the tip of Limon’s sword.

The sight of light itself, not arrows, blades, or shells, being pierced by the tip of the sword, made them lose their sense of reality.

Ignoring their astonishment, Limon continued to move his sword.

softly like dancing.

Or calmly, like soothing a child.

The brilliance that followed the tip of the flowing sword gradually dissipated until it calmly melted into the air.

Seeing Limon finally stop moving after completing a round of sword dance, Sir, who was the only one with a smile on his face, smiled.

‘Anyway, I don’t know who the real monster is.’

Limon slowly raised his head while everyone except Sir was still watching in awe.

“The Magic Lord.”

forsake one’s sins

Only obsessed with egotism.

threatening the lives of tens of millions of people.

Looking at the old man floating in the air with cool eyes, Limon languidly continued.

“You crossed the line.”

“…!”

right after that.

Carol soared high into the air.

His instincts as a lord he had accumulated through countless fierce battles in the dungeon.

Above all, the chilling sensation he felt upon hearing Limon’s voice made him reflexively strengthen his shield and distance himself from Limon.

Limon didn’t rush after Carol. He just took a slow step.

One step away from the ground.

One step while rotating the body.

One step while cutting the shield with the sword.

Carol was shocked to see Limon appearing in front of her in just three steps and shattering the layers of shields.

“How can I teleport…?!”

“This is not teleportation.”

Could it be that even Rose, the blue dragon princess, could not believe in the existence of Limon, who had crossed over from space, in this gloomy fog where space movement was restricted?

Limon spoke softly to Carol, whose face looked like she was seeing a nightmare.

“It’s a swordsmanship.”

Take a step.

Draw your sword and swing it.

A kick technique that reduces all movements to an extreme level.

The moment when the swordsman who transcended causality was reproduced, albeit imperfectly, after pursuing the ultimate, cutting not the ‘enemy’ but the ‘process’ of cutting the enemy.

Chow!

A flash of light pierced the body of the great magic lord, Carl Amadeus, with his eyes wide open.
