The Swordmaster Wants To Live Peacefully [EN]: Chapter 308

Swordmaster Wants to Live in Peace – 307

Sacred Relic (17)

Veronica hadn’t lived as long as Yuseongwoo, but she had lived quite a while.

Surviving in the chaotic era of another world was proof of her strength.

Combining her past and present lives, she was just under forty.

Recently, she seemed to have opened up a bit, but there were still many things he didn’t know about her.

He wondered if he had been that uninterested in Veronica.

To Yuseongwoo’s question, she sniffled, wiping away the snot that had started to run down her nose.

“I-It was nothing much. Do I really have to say it?”

“If it’s nothing much, there’s no reason not to tell me, right?”

“But I’m embarrassed.”

Just saying a wish, what was there to be embarrassed about?

Yuseongwoo tilted his head, thinking that, and Veronica said,

“I-I can’t say it now!”

“That makes me want to hear it even more.”

When he came out so stubbornly, Veronica trembled at the corners of her mouth, and then drew the greatsword from her back.

Yuseongwoo was a little dumbfounded that she didn’t want to say it that much.

‘Just say it,’ he thought.

Faced with Veronica’s will to not speak even if she had to use force, Yuseongwoo rose from his seat and summoned Ilsaeng.

“Looks like your rebellious phase came a little late, Veronica.”

“D-Do you want to dig into a girl’s secrets that much?”

“Saying it like that makes me sound like a bad guy.”

“You are a bad guy! I hate you, Captain!”

Saying that, Veronica swung her greatsword.

As the greatsword swung at a rapid pace, it cut through the air, and the direction of the falling snow changed due to the wind pressure.

The snow that had piled up on the ground swirled and raged.

Yuseongwoo stood in the middle of it, staring at Veronica.

“So, you’re coming out like this.”

Then it seemed like there was no choice but to have a brawl.

For swordsmen, there was no better way to confirm each other’s feelings than clashing swords.

Veronica swung her sword again.

Her sword was the mythical era sword, Modred’s sword, which she had obtained in the arena.

A Swordmaster was a monster who could split a mountain in half even if they just held a steel sword.

But if such a Swordmaster held a good sword, their stats would increase tremendously.

‘It’s a good sword, indeed,’ Yuseongwoo thought.

Yuseongwoo, who gently deflected Veronica’s sword, scooped up snow to obscure his vision.

When a high snow wall appeared in front of her, she immediately swung her sword to cut it down and rolled her eyes to find Yuseongwoo.

“He’s not here?!”

“Over here.”

The voice came from behind.

Veronica turned her body and swung her greatsword at the same time.

Yuseongwoo, who had been standing there, took a step back, dodging the tip of the greatsword by a hair’s breadth, and swung Ilsaeng, pressing his sword against the greatsword and pushing it down.

Koo-oong!

The tip of Veronica’s greatsword slammed into the ground.

“Hoo-eup!”

However, Veronica used her strength to lift the sword again, took a step forward, and gritted her teeth.

Purple aura surged from her entire body and was drawn into the sword.

One of the aura techniques, ‘Concentration’.

Then what would follow next?

“Haaahhhhh!”

Vast aura burst forth from the sword swung by Veronica.

Emission following Concentration.

It was the method of using aura that Yuseongwoo had taught.

Swordsmanship – Veronica Style

Balcheon (發天) [Striking Heaven]

The sword energy containing Veronica’s will, as if to shatter the sky, covered the world.

Yuseongwoo muttered as he looked at the sword energy engulfing him.

“…The day she unfolds her complete unique world is not far off.”

Before, Veronica had been shy and hadn’t shown her world.

Why was that?

Was it a story that had something in common with not saying her wish?

‘I don’t understand kids these days at all,’ he mused.

Yuseongwoo gripped his sword tightly and swung it greatly.

Red sword energy surged from the sword swung from below to above.

The surging sword energy split Veronica’s sword energy in half and covered the snow-falling sky in red.

“But it’s still too early, Veronica. To beat me, you’d need a hundred more years… no, you wouldn’t be able to beat me even if you trained your whole life.”

“Keuk!”

Veronica spewed out sword energy again and swung her sword at Yuseongwoo several times.

However, he didn’t give Veronica a single break.

Thoroughly breaking her sword energy, he took one step, two steps forward, and stood right in front of her.

Veronica could no longer swing her sword.

Yuseongwoo, who stood in front of her, put down Ilsaeng and bent his knees to match her eye level.

“…Veronica, have you calmed down a bit now?”

“……”

Veronica, pouting her lips, put her sword back on her back and said.

“Really, do you have to go this far to hear it? Are you that curious?”

“I wouldn’t go this far if I wasn’t curious.”

Yuseongwoo gently stroked Veronica’s head.

Then he straightened his knees and said.

“But after having a brawl, I also think it doesn’t matter anymore……”

For swordsmen, you can learn more from clashing swords once than from a hundred words.

Because you can know what will they put in their sword.

Veronica’s swordsmanship was full of things she wanted to hide.

The emotions she definitely didn’t want to reveal were conveyed.

But it wasn’t harmful to Veronica or Yuseongwoo.

“I felt your will enough through your sword. What you want to hide……”

“…Then why did we fight in the first place?”

“If you had told me earlier, we wouldn’t have had to fight.”

“Captain is really……”

Veronica muttered as if she was dumbfounded, then turned her head.

Yuseongwoo also turned his head towards that place and found that the ice block that had been left haphazardly at the entrance was melting.

The being that should have been inside was also getting up.

“Are you the ones who woke me from my long sleep……”

“We were so busy fighting that we forgot something important.”

“What’s that bastard?”

“It’s the core of the Abyss. Maybe if we kill that guy, the Abyss will close. I just thought it was a corpse and was going to take it to have it investigated.”

He hadn’t expected it to still be alive.

‘It’s like a tardigrade with good vitality,’ he thought.

“To think you would chatter away in front of me! I will freeze you all to death!”

And the powerful magical energy emanating from him.

It was an enormous energy that could never be seen as a Class 2 Abyss.

The strength of a Demon King class from another world.

In the past, it was an opponent that he would have struggled greatly to defeat.

But now.

“I don’t even need to step in, right? Veronica. Take care of it.”

“Okay! Captain!”

“How dare you ignore me! You damn humans!”

The magical energy and mana emanating from the nameless demon formed numerous magic circles and aimed at Veronica.

However.

“You think you can kill someone with just that?”

The aura that exploded from Veronica shattered all the magic circles.

Simply emitting it overwhelmed the demon, and the demon who had been so high-spirited until just now shrank back as if it were a lie.

“W-What is this?!”

“Die.”

“Wh-What are you! What are you! Why is a monster in a place like this─!!”

Before the demon could finish speaking, Veronica kicked off the ground.

And the next moment, her figure disappeared and appeared behind the demon.

The demon didn’t even know when she had drawn her sword.

All he could see was the world starting to spin.

And his own torso.

***

The Sword Soul Guild really eliminated all thirty-odd Abyss in just two days.

It could only be described as an absurd speed.

Yuseongwoo swept away all the Abyss of Class 2 or higher with the other guild members.

The other guild members also closed all the Abyss of Class 2 or lower.

The plan was a complete success.

It was a moment that proved the power of the Sword Soul Guild.

Yuseongwoo, who was at the forefront, immediately began installing the formula as soon as he closed all the Abyss.

Hundreds of witches dispatched directly from the Witch Society drew a huge formula centered on Sehyun City.

You could see the rare sight of all twelve elders of the Witch Society making an appearance.

That also became a big topic.

-Sword Soul Guild draws a national territory transmutation circle! (Photo)

-Everyone, run away from Sehyun City! You’ll end up becoming lab rats!

-Am I becoming a homunculus? lol, that’s awesome~~~~

Such unfounded rumors circulated, but some divers with knowledge of magic figured out what was happening in Sehyun City.

In particular, the first to figure it out was Seong Cheon-gyeon, the Lord of Namsan Tower, who was the most knowledgeable about magic in Korea.

As soon as he saw the Witch Society installing the formula, Seong Cheon-gyeon immediately contacted Yuseongwoo.

-It’s been a while! Yuseongwoo! I’ve heard the story. It seems like you’re fortifying Sehyun City.

“Fortifying?”

-Yes! Are you preparing for the upcoming war? Namsan Tower will also lend a hand.

He didn’t seem to know that it was to create the Sacred Relic.

“I don’t need your help, just come visit me later. I’ll set up a meeting with the Witch Society.”

-…Is that really true?! I’ll bring lots of gifts and visit you!

For Seong Cheon-gyeon, who walks the path of magic through awakening, there wouldn’t have been many opportunities to see a ‘real magician’.

Namsan Tower will also suffer a lot in the future, so this much of a gift is necessary.

Yuseongwoo, who hung up the phone, looked down.

The place where he was currently standing was the sky overlooking Sehyun City at a glance.

A composition like playing a city-building game in Top view.

A landscape like an omnipotent god looking down.

Yuseongwoo looked down at Sehyun City, which had become his, from that sky and imagined the completed city.

The formula designed by the Witch Society had reached the technology of God.

A formula barrier completed by gathering the wisdom of magicians who were proficient in various magic systems.

From the function of distinguishing between allies and enemies to various additional effects such as increased recovery and reinforcement.

What Seong Cheon-gyeon said, ‘fortress,’ wasn’t wrong either.

In the end, Sehyun City would become an important stronghold for fighting the gods.

“A human fortress to fight against the gods. It’s a bit funny.”

Yuseongwoo chuckled and looked at Sehyun City again carefully.

The formula drawn by the Witch Society with various materials and mana was faintly glowing and waiting to be activated.

The witches of the Witch Society really did a good job.

Was it because it was the city they would live in in the future?

They created something amazing.

They made it possible for Yuseongwoo’s divinity to activate and maintain the formula, making it possible with minimal cost.

The elders stayed up all night for several days to make this one.

“Then shall we begin?”

Large circles existing in seven places on the outskirts of the formula.

It was a keyhole to activate the formula.

And the keys that would go into the keyholes were Yuseongwoo’s seven swords.

“Come to me.”

Ilsaeng (一生) [Life].

Igye (二界) [Other World].

Samjeong (三精) [Three Essences].

Heuksa (黑四) [Black Four].

Owol (五月) [May].

Yukmang (六望) [Six Desires].

PalSeong (八星) [Eight Stars].

Calling out seven swords.

Since the seventh sword cannot be taken out, it is replaced with the eighth.

Seven types of swords floated and rotated around him.

And when Yuseongwoo raised his hand and lowered it, the swords began to fall like Yuseongwoo.

The swords were stuck exactly in the seven holes.

The divinity conveyed through Yuseongwoo, through the swords, activates the formula.

Following the faint light, a stronger light was drawn from the seven circles, and soon a brilliant light surrounded Sehyun City.

And.

A pillar of light soaring into the sky from the center of Sehyun City.

The light spreading from the pillar of light spread in all directions, forming a huge dome shape, and then slowly reduced the amount of light.

It was a beautiful sight to see from the sky.

Yuseongwoo smiled as he watched the scene and said.

“It’s spectacular.”
