Solo Swordmaster Chapter 1103

#Side Story 72. Lost Dream, Sleeping Dragon (2)

* * *

…Why.

Why on earth?

I wonder if it ended up like this.

Hundreds or even thousands of times.

She thought again.

Until the stars first fell and the dungeon appeared, no one took it seriously.

They are dragons.

They were a great and arrogant race that realized the supreme power of psionics through internal training.

Even if the Constellations presented a contract, it was natural for them to just scoff and ignore it.

Indeed, only a handful of talentless and pathetic people accepted the contract.

nevertheless.

The world has changed drastically.

This is because among the various items and elixirs found in the dungeon, there were many that were valuable to the dragon race.

Therefore, even those who could not become players found treasure in the dungeon, and the number of fights over the dungeon increased.

They are dragons.

This is because they were a race that never knew concessions or compromises when it came to their territory and treasures.

The fight is becoming excessive.

All kinds of troubles arise.

After a secret struggle between families.

Even kings fight each other in all sorts of ways except for life and death, creating countless victims.

It was around this time that the world became so chaotic that even the royal family, who had been ignoring them like chickens and cows, could no longer bear it and were forced to mediate.

Kuoooooo!

The dungeon opens.

Monsters pour in…

…the end of the world has begun.

In fact, until the beginning, few people took the situation seriously.

For those who possess the supreme power of psionics, monsters are nothing more than strong beasts.

But to put it the other way around, it means that it is as dangerous as a wild animal.

How many at first.

Before you know it, there are dozens.

Eventually, it increases to hundreds and thousands.

The number of victims gradually increased due to monsters that were not only pouring out endlessly but also becoming stronger day by day.

And when everyone realized the seriousness of the situation, it became impossible to even try to do anything anymore.

Even though they are great and long-lived, it is difficult to see descendants, especially since they are a dragon race with a small population.

As the number of monsters increased, the distortion of space became more severe, and even exchanges using space movement were blocked.

Rice fields were trampled, livestock were eaten, and even food became difficult to obtain.

Mines collapsed, blacksmith shops were destroyed, and broken weapons could no longer be repaired.

The social system was shaken, money lost its value, and all kinds of treasures became trash.

And as corpses piled up like mountains on the front lines, families all over the world collapsed one after another.

Just a few years.

That was all the time it took for the civilization that the dragon race had built up over thousands of years to be burned down and for the race itself to face extinction.

The seven kings, who boasted outstanding talent among the dragon race, ran to the front lines and fought hard…

but in the end, their efforts only delayed the destruction a little longer.

The destruction itself could not be prevented.

‘It’s my fault…’

That’s why.

She blamed herself.

Although others may not have known, she knew about this situation and had to prepare for it.

If you had prepared for the dungeon from the moment it appeared.

If only the different families had been united as one instead of diminishing the strength of the race through unnecessary greed and strife.

So, if we had blocked the dungeon in advance and prepared to defeat the star, at least the dragon clan would not have collapsed so vainly.

But it was already too late.

No matter how much you struggle now.

It was impossible to prevent the extinction of the species.

That was why.

The reason why all seven kings had to have miserable and gloomy faces.

“…How ironic.”

“….”

“After being here for thousands of years, it finally hatched and came out. I never thought it would come back here in less than ten years.”

The basement of Tianlong Palace.

The kings remained silent as they looked at the pond emitting mysterious light at the bottom of a distant cave that was thousands of pages long.

Cheonryongso (天龍沼).

A sacred pond that only the emperor and the king carrying the emperor’s egg can enter.

In fact, the reason why Cheonryong Palace became a sacred place for the dragon race was because it was located on top of Cheonryongso.

Originally, they would have been thrilled just to see this place.

“It’s truly miserable.”

Nevertheless, there is one reason why the seven kings cannot help but lament.

This was the purpose of visiting Cheongryongso.

“The king exists to lead and protect everyone, but the only thing he can do is abandon everything and hide in a sacred place.”

“….”

The other kings also agreed with the emperor’s lament in heavy silence.

To be honest.

They didn’t want to come here.

Because they would rather die fighting than survive by running away miserably.

Nevertheless, there are two reasons why they had no choice but to overcome their pride and gather here.

One is that the survivors, including the few remaining family heads and blood relatives, knelt down and asked for help, ready to commit suicide.

And the other one is….

“It’s okay to be sad, but don’t be miserable.”

“….”

“Because it is our duty and mission to survive until the end and resurrect the dragon race.”

In the calm words of the Hwangson.

They kept silent.

To the dragon clan, the royal family is everything.

Because everyone knew that protecting the Emperor and laying his eggs was the only way to keep the dragon race, which was about to be destroyed, alive.

Therefore, they suppressed their sorrow and entered Cheonryongso with him.

Chambang.

Surprisingly or naturally.

Tianlongso was not that deep.

Even if I went into the deepest part, I was only submerged up to my waist.

However, just by immersing themselves like that, the mysterious energy of Cheonryongso naturally seeped into them and brought out psionics.

So….

Ugh.

Resonance has begun.

As the psionics of the seven kings surrounding Hwangson come together, the soft pond water becomes brighter.

They quietly closed their eyes and prepared for hibernation.

Even they didn’t know how long they would sleep.

It will take a long time for the monsters and dungeons that covered the earth to disappear and for the devastated world to regain its prosperity.

But it didn’t matter.

Even hundreds of years.

Whether for thousands of years.

Or tens of thousands of years.

The power of Tianlongso will protect them until the invasion of the stars ends and they are safe.

…exactly as it should have been.

Awesome!

“Black?!”

“Ugh!”

“This…!”

But right after that.

The seven monarchs stumbled.

This is because, just as they were about to enter hibernation, they felt that something had begun to rapidly escape from their bodies.

Something that can be said to be a more pure and important source of life than psionics.

“Indeed… this is their purpose for invading us.”

Hwangson muttered softly.

Because he was able to know the origin of all dragons.

Even the few remaining people guarding the outside are falling, and the lives and potential of all dragons are being absorbed.

And the power of Cheonryongso alone was not enough to stop it.

“…I’m sorry.”

That was why.

The reason why Hwangson was disappointed.

If only I had a little more time.

So, what if he perfected psionics by interacting with the seven kings and became a real Jackie Chan?

It wouldn’t have collapsed so vainly due to the invasion of the Constellations, and there wouldn’t have been a need to make this choice at this moment.

But this is fate.

Because I know there is no other way.

The moment he quietly closed his eyes.

Ugh wow!

“majesty?”

“What are you doing?!”

The seven monarchs were astonished.

It wasn’t just because the massive psionic energy that suddenly erupted from Hwangson engulfed them.

This is because through the flow of psionics, the fundamental power that had been forcibly taken from them began to flow into them.

All the lives and possibilities of those who are already dead and those of other dragons who are dying.

And…

“Are you planning on dying?!”

“There’s nothing you can do, right? “It’s better than everyone dying together.”

―And including the life of the Emperor himself.

Even though I knew that using psionics before becoming Jackie Chan would be tantamount to suicide since I was born with such powerful psionics.

Hwang Sun did not stop using psionics.

Even as his body turned into light and dispersed with his own power, he did his best to protect the seven kings.

Ugh.

“no…!”

“Stop it…!”

Was it a reaction to his psionics?

The secret art of hibernation is activated by the energy flowing from the brilliantly shining Tianryongso.

The Emperor smiled quietly at the kings, who were trying to hold on even as they suddenly became drowsy.

“Don’t be so sad. “We will meet again someday, even if it is different and in a different form.”

“…!”

“-certainly.”

So…

the progenitor of all dragons.

Repeating reincarnation on your own.

The first and last dragon to live forever.

However, in the end, the last descendant of the founder sacrificed himself to save his brides without even being able to properly grow the seed.

The seven kings fell into a long sleep, taking in the gentle smile of the White Gold Dragon Emperor for the last time.

And….

………

….

Years passed.

Long, distant years.

* * *

While in a long sleep.

What she felt most was pain.

The long period of hibernation that even the Cheonryongso withered away was enough to destroy their minds and bodies.

And what I felt most deeply was anger.

Because their blood, family, tribe, and the world itself were taken away by the invaders called the Constellations, their resentment was deep enough to pierce the sky.

But what was more bitter than anything else was regret.

The fact that they were unable to protect the imperial son they were supposed to protect due to their lack of strength.

The fact is that he may have died in vain because he sacrificed himself out of pride for becoming a bride along with other kings and did not help his grandson grow.

Those distant years left her immersed in grief.

So she decided.

And…

“―Why?”

quietly.

She opened her eyes.

All I see in my blurred vision is a woman.

His entire body was covered in blood and he was supporting himself by relying on two broken swords.

Nevertheless, the opponent who looked at her with eyes burning like an active volcano and inflicted a fatal wound that led to her death after a fierce fight until now.

“Why did you keep the circumstances in your hands, Jibaekryonghyeon-gun!”

-She did not bother to answer the question of the woman who would later be called Geomje (劍帝).

Maybe it won’t be until a few years later.

As he had only realized the sword’s will during his fight with himself, Geomje, who was not yet able to freely use the dragon slayer sword, was definitely not an opponent he could defeat.

At least it was possible for us to die together.

The Geomje knew that fact, which is why he was so angry.

– Just as she hoped.

[Make a sword out of my horn.]

“What?”

[Drink my blood again.]

“What nonsense is that!?”

[It’s okay if you don’t understand. If you think you owe me your life, this is how you repay that debt.]

“You…!”

[And…]

Jihyeon-gun didn’t care about the sword emperor’s gaze that seemed to tear him to death.

Geomje is a hero.

She always lived as she pleased, so she was not a woman who would let her life debt go unpaid, no matter how much she hated someone.

That’s why she made her last request.

[…Raise disciples.]

[There will come a time when you will need it.]

[When you know what you need to do.]

[In the end, your dream will come true.]

“What kind of nonsense…. Hey…. Shit…!”

Is it because I squeezed out my last strength?

I lowered my eyelids again, unable to even hear the Geomje’s voice properly.

She thought.

It’s over now.

He ruled the world with other kings, ate gods, increased his strength, and even created the Seven Dragons.

Because it was all for this moment.

Even though I would never see that platinum hair again…

it didn’t matter.

Because this will make the promise come true.

Therefore, as she fell into a sleep from which she would never wake up, she muttered one last time softly.

Your own uniqueness.

So desperately.

I miss the wind.

[…I miss you Lee.]

* * *

Sreuk.

“Have you finally woken up?”

slowly.

The moment I opened my eyes.

What you see is a familiar face.

After staring blankly at the sight of the man I loved with pure white hair and golden eyes.

Again.

She shed tears.

“Are you stupid princess? “Why are you crying all of a sudden?”

“…I had a dream.”

“What did you dream about?”

“I don’t know. I don’t remember.”

“….”

“But I think it was a sad dream.”

Why?

His face, which I have always seen, seems particularly unfamiliar today.

Why do I feel so sad about my weathered, faded white hair and golden eyes that lack brilliance?

But she didn’t bother to wonder why or try to recall the forgotten dream.

It was only because he fell asleep while being loved by him that he snuggled deeply into the arms of Limon, who was hugging him as a pillow, without any clothes on.

“So, Lee, I comfort you.”

Take a moment to look at the expressionless face of the girl who is acting strangely today.

“OK.”

In the end, I ate it.

Limon smiled and kissed her.

side.

Let’s overlap our lips like that.

The one that flows naturally is the eighth….

No, the beginning of all dragon psionics, which is now divided into seven.

The seven dragons frantically searched the whole world to find it, and it became the origin of the progenitor return style and the divorce great law style.

Because it resides in the soul, not the body.

Eternal and immortal power.

-Soul psionics.

Feeling the warmth of a lover conveyed along with the energy that only the greatest dragons of the distant past possessed.

While having a long dream.

Trying to see too much.

Reduced to the weakest of the seven dragons.

Nevertheless, I decided to become a happy fool rather than live as an unhappy wise man.

The most foolish dragon descendant in the world, who could not even distinguish between the past and the present because he could see the future, was immersed in happiness in the arms of his lover.
