Swordmaster Wants to Live Peacefully – 104

Sports Day (3)

“Just stop the Orcs coming out of the Abyss! I can handle this one!”

Yoo Ji-woo shouted, gripping her sword tightly.

The Orc standing before her, Giar, was undoubtedly strong.

The green aura flowing from his greatsword was a realm Yoo Ji-woo had yet to reach.

He was a formidable enemy, at least one level above her.

“Human woman, do you think you can stop me alone?”

“Who said anything about alone?”

A request for support had already been sent.

Yoo Ji-woo was just the first to arrive, and the other S-class heroes would follow.

“Then this will be a good amusement. Tearing you apart and cutting down the others will be the most enjoyable thing ever!”

“You disgusting bastard…”

Yoo Ji-woo openly expressed her displeasure at Giar’s words, brandishing her sword and deploying magic.

The magic circles that appeared around her unleashed intense fire bullets.

Flames flew towards Giar, and simultaneously, Yoo Ji-woo unfolded the Hae Wol Sword [Sea Moon Sword – a named weapon] and kicked off the ground.

“Hoo-eup!” [A sharp intake of breath, often used when exerting oneself]

A heavy sword, like a wave, fell from above.

“Do you think such a sword will work on me!”

He was unfazed by the rushing flames.

After deflecting the flames with his greatsword, Giar received Yoo Ji-woo’s sword.

Compared to Giar’s greatsword, Yoo Ji-woo’s sword was too light.

The Hae Wol Sword, imbued with imperfect magic power, was helplessly pushed back.

“Weakling!”

The heavy sword swung and struck Yoo Ji-woo’s body.

She defended by raising her sword, but his greatsword struck her with such force that it seemed it would break the sword itself.

Clang!

With the sound of the magic shield she had cast on her body shattering, she rolled across the floor.

“Keuhuk!” [A sound of pain or exertion]

She managed to endure once with magic. But it seemed difficult to do so a second time.

Alone, that is.

Giar swung his greatsword at Yoo Ji-woo once more.

However, his greatsword was stopped again.

This time, not by one person, but by two.

Hong Seo-hwa and Baek Woo-hyun, who had arrived a step late, crossed their swords to block Giar’s greatsword.

Giar growled, looking at the two newly appeared figures, and said.

“Whether it’s one or three, nothing will change.”

“We’ll go with what we always do!”

At Baek Woo-hyun’s words, Hong Seo-hwa charged at Giar with him.

Blue lightning and deep crimson flames intertwined, engulfing Giar.

Giar swung his greatsword, covered in ferocious aura, greatly.

Taking advantage of that moment, Yoo Ji-woo extended her sword along with magic towards his abdomen.

Sharp ice spears aimed for Giar’s abdomen, and the sword aimed for his chest.

In another direction, Hong Seo-hwa and Baek Woo-hyun, who had been knocked back, caught up and were about to plunge their swords in.

It was a perfect coordinated attack, leaving Giar nowhere to escape.

However, he pushed the three away simply by spreading his aura in all directions.

Having overcome the situation with just the aura’s shockwave, he took a long breath and said.

“You’ve learned well. But it’s not enough!”

“The same goes for you. Orc. That’s not enough to kill us. Not nearly enough.”

Baek Woo-hyun replied, taking a stance.

The others nodded.

No matter how strong Giar was, he wasn’t as strong as Yoo Seong-woo.

He was weaker and slower than Yoo Seong-woo.

How many times had they sparred with Yoo Seong-woo until now?

When they thought of those times, Giar’s sword was nothing.

Thinking of Yoo Seong-woo’s sword, Giar’s sword was not at all frightening.

“Let’s go with the fourth plan!”

Yoo Ji-woo shouted and quickly took a stance.

Hearing her words, the two split to the left and right, gathering their energy.

It wasn’t a situation where they could afford to be picky, so Baek Woo-hyun, who ran to the right, held Maynard’s sword, the Blue Lightning Sword, in his hand.

He gathered water energy, scattering it around, and filled the space with blue lightning.

On the opposite side, Hong Seo-hwa heated her body more intensely than anyone else.

Burning her chest and head hotter than anyone else, she wrapped her entire body in flames.

From the tip of her sword to the tip of her hair and toes.

The two, engulfed in lightning and flames, extended their swords, aiming for different parts.

From Giar’s right, a wave of flames surged, and from his left, lightning wrapped in water flowers struck.

Auras of different properties rushed in to kill Giar.

Giar couldn’t move easily. Although their levels were lower than his, the coordinated attack of the three could not be ignored.

The precise attacks and fluid coordination were a sufficient threat.

“You insects-!!”

Giar roared, pouring aura into his greatsword and swinging it greatly.

His swordsmanship was crude.

A style of swordsmanship that relied on innate overwhelming power and aura rather than technique.

That alone was enough to overwhelm other swordsmen, allowing him to reach the realm of Swordmaster.

The sword swung by Giar collided with Baek Woo-hyun first.

The Blue Lightning Sword and the greatsword covered in green aura clashed, refusing to separate.

Giar intended to knock Baek Woo-hyun away and immediately respond to Hong Seo-hwa’s attack, but Baek Woo-hyun’s sword was stronger than expected, making it difficult to shake off.

“Get off!”

“I refuse.”

Lightning flowed through the sword.

The water droplets scattered everywhere moved, delivering sharp lightning, and Giar endured the electric shocks covering his entire body, grinding his teeth.

However, he couldn’t receive his sword without any impact, so a stream of blood also flowed from Baek Woo-hyun’s mouth.

“Hold him there!”

From the opposite side, Hong Seo-hwa’s sword was swung.

The sword containing red flames drew a curve.

The Red Dragon Flame Dance Sword’s technique created a path of flames, aiming for Giar’s side, and soon, it was embedded.

However, before the sword touched, Giar twisted his side to avoid a fatal wound.

Hong Seo-hwa launched a series of attacks, but Giar, having knocked Baek Woo-hyun away, pushed Hong Seo-hwa away as well.

However, the two, who retreated while spitting blood, wore smiles on their faces.

Giar felt an ominous feeling from their faces and looked straight ahead.

His gaze turned to Yoo Ji-woo, who had been standing still until the two approached.

The sword of Yoo Ji-woo, who was standing in front of Giar, was shining bluishly.

It wasn’t aura.

It was simply that all the powerful magic was hammered into the sword, and it was embodied in that form.

Yoo Ji-woo’s amount of magic and her skill in controlling it were superior to the two.

Even if her physical abilities were slightly inferior, she had a larger amount of magic that she could put into a single strike than the two.

“Hoo-eup!” [A sharp intake of breath, often used when exerting oneself]

Yoo Ji-woo took a breath and stepped forward.

And she extends her sword.

At that moment, Giar saw her magic as a huge tidal wave.

It was as if the violence of the vast sea, swimming under the moon in the sky, was engulfing him.

However, Giar did not yield.

What was such a wave?

Having fought through countless battlefields, he was not a warrior so unskilled as to be defeated by this level of attack.

He splits the tidal wave by swinging it vertically with aura on his greatsword.

Yoo Ji-woo, who was in between the split waves, came into view.

And he forcibly pushed his greatsword in to split Yoo Ji-woo as well.

“Die!”

The greatsword, imbued with green aura, split Yoo Ji-woo in half.

However, Yoo Ji-woo’s form soon turned into smoke and scattered.

“It’s the newly learned afterimage magic.”

Then, with a murmur heard from the side, a sword was embedded in Giar’s side.

The sound of a blade cutting through flesh, “Poouk,” was eerily heard.

Giar immediately swung his greatsword, striking Yoo Ji-woo with the sword’s surface.

She was hit, spitting blood and rolling across the floor, and Giar gnashed his teeth, grabbing the handle of the sword that pierced his side.

“Kuaaaaaak-!” [A scream of pain]

Then, he screamed, pulled out the sword, and cauterized the wound with aura to stop it.

He breathed heavily, glaring at the three who had gathered, with eyes burning fiercely.

Each one alone is nothing special, but when the three gather, they are annoying.

They seemed to be familiar with fighting strong opponents for a long time, and their movements were well-coordinated.

Giar concluded that he must kill the three in this place.

If they grow any further, they will definitely interfere with what they have to do.

He had been saving his strength to face the strong on Earth, but now was not the time to save it.

He drew up all the aura he had been suppressing until now.

The color of the aura contained in his greatsword became even darker, and the ferocious momentum shook the earth.

The existence called Swordmaster was like that.

A walking disaster, a calamity.

As he began to reveal his full power, an even deeper sense of tension settled on the faces of the three.

However, the situation they were worried about, having to face that sword head-on, did not occur.

“It’s over, children. You’ve endured well until now.”

Shua-nel landed in front of them and said so.

While the three were facing Giar, she had completely sealed the Abyss from which the Orcs were coming out.

It wasn’t a long time, but it would certainly be a great achievement for the three, who had not yet reached Swordmaster, to stand against a Swordmaster.

“You’re dead now. You Orc bastard.”

“High Elf! Get out of there! No, if I cut you down as well and cut down all the humans in the vicinity, that would be great!”

“Hmph. I wonder if that’s really possible?”

“What can a spiritist who can only use tricks do?”

“You seem to underestimate me too much… I have a great warrior.”

As Shua-nel said that, an intense momentum began to emanate from the Abyss.

Not from the place Shua-nel had sealed, but from a black hole next to it, one person appeared.

Covered in Orc fluids all over his body, dripping them as he walked out.

It was Yoo Seong-woo.

Giar’s gaze naturally turned to Yoo Seong-woo.

It was a momentum too powerful to ignore.

Holding only a blood-red sword, his slow steps were eerily terrifying.

“Who the hell are you!”

“I wanted to ask that. Why is an Orc wandering outside?”

“Another Abyss has opened! Next to the one you went into!”

Yoo Seong-woo looked at the sealed side and understood the situation.

Then, he looked back and forth between Giar and the others and asked.

“Any damage?”

“None. I stopped it.”

“Good job.”

“Who do you think you’re talking to in front of me-!!”

Giar rushed towards Yoo Seong-woo, who was the most threatening.

The aura, raised to the extreme, roared and emitted a destructive momentum.

“Hoo…….” [An exhale, often used to calm oneself]

It was a momentum that ordinary swordsmen could not block.

However, Yoo Seong-woo blocked Giar’s greatsword from where he stood.

No, he not only blocked it but also deflected it and swung his sword like a flash of light.

Then, Giar’s left arm was cut off and rolled on the floor.

Not understanding the situation for a moment, he stared blankly at his left arm falling to the floor with a thud.

“All you can do is mindlessly spew out aura. How did you reach Master without any technique?”

Yoo Seong-woo spat out a pure question. But he couldn’t hear the answer.

Because his sword slit his throat the next moment.

The life of Giar, the Swordmaster whom the three had struggled to stop, was instantly taken away by Yoo Seong-woo.

Yoo Seong-woo, who had returned from a lifetime, swept back his hair and looked at the three S-class heroes.

The traces of their hard work were evident on their faces. They had stopped a Swordmaster even though they were not Master class.

The aftermath was considerable.

Yoo Seong-woo looked at the three and opened his mouth.

“What are you doing? We need to clean up the rest of the Abyss. Hurry up and go in.”
