Swordmaster Wants to Live Peacefully Episode 303

The Holy Sanctuary (13)

All members of the National Assembly were present for a single agenda.

The agenda was the most absurd of all the things that had been discussed so far.

Whether or not to hand over Sehyun City to an individual.

The contents of the tablet received from Yoo Seong-woo, the treaty surrounding Sehyun City, were no different from robbery.

At least, if Yoo Seong-woo were to purchase Sehyun City from the South Korean government, it would be worth considering, but Yoo Seong-woo didn’t seem to be considering it.

He was just waiting with his mouth open, hoping that South Korea would put Sehyun City in his mouth.

“Does that make any sense! Handing over a city to an individual!”

“That’s right! If a city is handed over to an individual, it’s the same as it no longer being South Korea!”

Shouts went back and forth, regardless of party affiliation. Most expressed their opposition.

The President’s expression, who was listening to the discussion among the National Assembly members, continued to worsen.

He had hoped to bring good news, but at this rate, he wouldn’t be able to reverse the decision.

In the midst of this, the mayor of Sehyun City, who should have been the loudest in opposition, opened his mouth.

“…I think it’s reasonable to hand it over.”

“What are you talking about! That’s ridiculous! They’re trying to take your position, and you’re just going to hand it over?”

“Yes. That’s right. Even if I resign, that’s the right thing to do.”

The mayor of Sehyun City had been re-elected after Sehyun City’s successful development, leading it to prosperity.

He had made a significant contribution to making it a successful planned city.

But he said that it was right to hand over Sehyun City.

As other National Assembly members protested more fiercely, the mayor of Sehyun City elaborated.

“As the mayor of Sehyun City, I have come into contact with more Divers [individuals with supernatural abilities] than anyone else. What kind of Divers have you met so far? Those who lobby for the revision of laws? Divers who are closer to politicians than warriors?”

“What are you talking about! You’ll have to take responsibility for that statement!”

“I will take responsibility. But I have to say what I have to say. You don’t understand the reality because you haven’t been out there.”

The mayor of Sehyun City sighed deeply.

Most of the National Assembly members sitting in this room are ordinary people, and some are Awakened [individuals who have gained special powers].

However, their grades [power levels] are not very high, and they have never been out hunting in the Abyss [dangerous dimensional rifts].

On the other hand, the mayor of Sehyun City often went out into the field.

Sehyun City can be seen as a city for Divers, so it has been developed with their needs in mind.

“There are things that can only be seen in the field. Divers are those who fight monsters at the risk of their lives. You know that even a B-class monster can’t be handled by ordinary people, right?”

And, the mayor of Sehyun City recalled the appearance of Yoo Seong-woo.

Yoo Seong-woo, who returned after finishing a short trip, had truly transcended even those Divers.

He knew that he was stronger than other Divers from the beginning, but now he is beyond that.

An atmosphere as if he had transcended everything.

An atmosphere as if he had left the human world and become a god.

In reality, that would be the case.

The Holy Sanctuary, which is gradually beginning to reveal its appearance in the current world, proving the existence of gods.

They all seemed to want Yoo Seong-woo.

“Can you say what you’re saying now in front of Yoo Seong-woo? You wouldn’t even be able to bring it up. That’s why the President brought such a ridiculous proposal.”

At the Sehyun City mayor’s blunt words, the President was sweating profusely.

That was exactly right.

The moment he faced Yoo Seong-woo, he was overwhelmed and returned with the tablet as if possessed, unable to say anything.

The mayor of Sehyun City added.

“Besides, he has many capable informants by his side. He also has a lot of money. Even the assets that are revealed publicly would not be enough even if you combined everything you have here.”

Besides, Yoo Seong-woo is the older brother of Yoo Ji-woo, the CEO of ‘Meteor Industry’.

Meteor Industry is an outstanding company that Yoo Ji-woo has built up single-handedly.

“Isn’t it best for South Korea that he doesn’t defect to foreign countries? If our attitude is like this, he will leave Korea at any time.”

The mayor of Sehyun City’s judgment was cold.

Of course, he made that judgment because he didn’t know that Yoo Seong-woo would continue to reside in Korea to build the world…….

They had to choose.

Yoo Seong-woo is the most important asset that cannot be found anywhere in the current world, or even on Earth.

How many enemies has he defeated?

What was his move in Japan?

If you put them all together, it will truly become a ‘myth’.

The National Assembly members were silent.

Still, the fact that they were handing over a major city of the country to an individual was unpleasant, and murmurs like ‘Still……’ and ‘This is not right……’ were heard here and there.

In the end, the President opened his mouth.

“I also think it’s right to hand over Sehyun City. The presence I felt directly… there was something that made me feel reverence just by looking at him. If he declares independence in South Korea, that will be a bigger problem.”

The President’s political instincts were screaming.

Ever since he met Yoo Seong-woo.

He had the ability to replace the President of Korea at any time.

He doesn’t know what will happen to him if he fails to pass this agenda.

“He has already become a national hero with several accomplishments. Didn’t he demonstrate his power by capturing the Abyss with overwhelming performance, and in the Elf subjugation?”

There is no one who doesn’t know that.

Yoo Seong-woo directly entered the high-grade Abyss and came out after clearing it in tens of minutes.

In particular, didn’t he annihilate the Elves who tried to assassinate him?

With only his own strength.

At that time, the politicians who had aligned themselves with the Elves also lost their positions.

A soldier who had embezzled military supplies to the Elves also hanged himself and committed suicide at home.

That’s how much Yoo Seong-woo’s influence is, to the point where he can easily control South Korea.

“Now that it’s come to this, let’s make him a veritable hero of Korea. Then he won’t leave Korea.”

It was the moment when the Korean government’s policy was decided.

***

“Oh? Seong-woo, the government accepted the demands quite readily?”

“I told them to hand it over as a whole, thinking they would at least negotiate, but they must have been quite scared.”

Yoo Seong-woo chuckled.

The detailed conditions had to be adjusted, but the South Korean government accepted most of his demands.

If necessary, Yoo Seong-woo was even considering buying all the land in Sehyun City.

Because he has more money than he can use.

If you combine his real estate and assets, it will far exceed the national budget.

“I’m glad that unnecessary expenses have been reduced. Then I will proceed according to the demands. And replies have arrived from the Witch Society and the Demonic Cult. Both have positive answers. The Demonic Cult says that they only need to be notified of a convenient date, and the Witch Society says that they will hold a meeting of elders.”

“It seems that the Witch Society has figured out my intentions.”

As expected, they are quick-witted.

That’s why they have survived until this era with such wit.

The time has come for the Witch Society to get on the right side.

“Tell them to set the earliest possible date. I’ll go in person.”

“Understood! I feel good because I’m working hard for the first time in a while?”

“Is that so? Work harder in the future.”

“Do you give a reward if I work hard?”

“If there’s something you want, I’ll grant you one within the realm of possibility. You’ve been working for quite a while too.”

At Yoo Seong-woo’s words, Yoo-wol fluttered her ears. She stared at Yoo Seong-woo as if asking if it was true, then opened her mouth.

“Did you promise?”

“Yes.”

It will be much later.

It will be enough as motivation.

***

The Witch Society’s meeting of elders, Walpurgis Night [a traditional celebration held on the eve of May Day], was decided to be held in Korea.

Three witches in the elder position of the Witch Society are already in Korea.

This is an important task to complete the Holy Sanctuary.

“This is the entrance.”

“When did you install it?”

The place where Jeanne, one of the elders of the Witch Society, guided him.

The entrance to the place where this Witch Society Elder Council is held was unexpectedly the pantry on the 16th floor of the Sword Soul Guild Tower.

At Yoo Seong-woo’s displeased gaze, Jeanne turned her head and threw open the door of the pantry.

Then, a cavity filled with a subtle light, not a pantry, appeared inside.

And a round table.

There, the elders of the Witch Society were sitting around.

The three witches who came in with Yoo Seong-woo found their seats, and Yoo Seong-woo sat alone in an empty seat and looked around at the witches.

Faces I haven’t seen in a while.

“It’s been a while.”

Medea greeted him, looking around him.

The head of the Witch Society and the oldest witch.

She, who is also the wind tower owner of Greece, smiled brightly at Yoo Seong-woo with a brazen face.

“You have a brazen face, Medea.”

“It’s a job that you can’t do unless you’re originally brazen. Being a witch.”

“I thought so. Still, it’s good to see you after a long time. Everyone seems to be doing well.”

“You seem to have more composure than before. Is that the composure of the strong?”

“Rather than the composure of the strong, I’ve decided to take it easy.”

Yoo Seong-woo crossed his legs and continued.

“And, the reason I called you this time is, as expected, to establish the Holy Sanctuary.”

There are several conditions required to establish the Holy Sanctuary.

The first ‘land’ is ready, and the second is the ‘divinity’ to be engraved on the land.

The world of the Holy Sanctuary is protected by powerful divinity.

So is the Jade Emperor’s Palace [a celestial palace in Chinese mythology], and so is Takamagahara [the heavenly realm in Japanese mythology].

The powerful divinity engraved in the world is the driving force that maintains the world, and at the same time, it is in charge of isolation and protection from the outside.

“I can’t handle the divinity of the Holy Sanctuary alone. But, that’s the story when it’s a created world. With the help of the Witch Society, I’m thinking of engraving a divine circuit on the land of the ground, Sehyun City, and building the Holy Sanctuary. That should be enough to handle with my divinity.”

“Engraving a divine circuit on the land, certainly only the Witch Society has that kind of technology! You’ve come to the right place. But the price won’t be cheap.”

Medea’s expression, who had been speaking kindly, hardens.

Helping Yoo Seong-woo is the same as turning against other Holy Sanctuaries.

“Medea, you’ve lived a long time, so you know. The oldest witch. As several myths begin to arrive on the ground, where should you stand in line?”

“…….”

Witch Society.

It is not simply a group of witches, but ultimately an organization to create a world only for witches.

Their goal was also the establishment of the Holy Sanctuary.

It was a feasible future only after all twelve witches in the elder position reached divinity.

“Isn’t the Witch Society a group of people with various myths mixed together? Medea, you are a Greek witch, and Jeanne is the patron saint of France. Bathory is a vampire.”

“Why am I just a vampire?! At least tell me I’m a True Ancestor Vampire?!”

“What are you talking about when you’re still just a mosquito.”

“I, I can still unfold my unique world…….”

Yoo Seong-woo simply ignored Bathory’s grumbling and continued.

“Medea, the Holy Sanctuary I will create will be a place where all kinds of myths are mixed together.”

So please, I hope you can lend me your strength.
