Swordmaster Wants to Live Peacefully Episode 113

Thomas de Torquemada (2)

“I heard they cleared a straight path from the plaza to here, but seeing it in person, your skills are better than I thought.”

“Still, it’s nothing much, right? If the five of us work together, we can kill a guy like that in no time.”

“That’s right. I could do that much myself.”

“Everyone, be quiet. Remember the Cardinal’s orders. Our goal is to kill that guy and eliminate the heretics.”

“We know.”

There were five people watching Meteor Shower fighting the Holy Knights from behind.

Dressed in more extravagant armor than the Holy Knights, they were the best fighters in the Vatican.

The five S-class Divers [Individuals with exceptional abilities] personally chosen by Thomas, the Five Great Holy Knights.

“Kaian, Erze, kill the witches. The rest of the Holy Knights, follow me and kill that heretic.”

Velen, the strongest of the Five Great Knights and also serving as their leader, drew his sword and dashed out from the Vatican.

Following him, the other knights rushed out and joined the battle, shouting.

“We shall deliver judgment to the heretics!”

* * *

“We shall deliver judgment to the heretics!”

With the roar, the charging Holy Knights stopped and moved to the left and right, clearing a path.

Through the gap, three Holy Knights charged towards Meteor Shower.

Their attire was different from the uniform of the Holy Knights he had faced so far.

Their momentum was also extraordinary.

If the Holy Knights were composed only of A-ranks, the ones charging towards him were all S-ranks.

‘Those guys must be the so-called Five Great Knights.’

Meteor Shower, recognizing them immediately, stopped his charge and stood still, watching the three.

“Is three enough? All five of you should come to block me to make it even a little bit more challenging.”

“Your arrogance knows no bounds. If your nose is too high, it will break.”

“Good, then I’ll have to break your nose first.”

He decided which one to target first.

Velen frowned at Meteor Shower’s confident declaration.

“We need to break that high nose of his. The others, don’t interfere!”

“Oh, really?”

“I will cut off his head and offer it to the Cardinal!”

Velen, completely provoked by his taunt, kicked off the ground and swung his sword.

The golden aura imbued in the sword swept through the air and extended outwards.

Meteor Shower leaned back to dodge the sword energy, and in an unstable posture, extended his foot and kicked Velen’s face with his sole.

Then, he rotated backward once and regained his balance.

Since the guy said he would face him one-on-one, he was going to crush him… starting with breaking his nose.

“Are you mocking me!”

Velen gritted his teeth even harder when Meteor Shower let go of his sword.

Nevertheless, he did not drop his sword and charged, swinging it even faster.

Velen’s sword sharply cut through the air.

Meteor Shower lightly stepped aside and extended his fist.

The fist, extended from a strange angle, accurately struck Velen’s nose.

“Kugh!”

Velen, hit, stepped back and grabbed his nose.

Meteor Shower clenched his fist tightly, stepping back and forth, adopting a boxing stance.

From now on, he was not Satan Swordmaster but Boxing Master.

The time limit was until he broke that guy’s nose perfectly.

“Come on in.”

When Meteor Shower beckoned with his finger, Velen, with madness in his eyes, swung his sword fiercely.

He stepped again.

Velen could barely keep up with the steps that left dozens of afterimages, indistinguishable whether they were to the right or left.

His sword did not touch even 1mm.

Meteor Shower maintained a paper-thin distance, dodging Velen’s sword.

He was getting more and more agitated.

In the meantime, he punched Velen whenever he saw an opening.

He persistently aimed for the face, especially the nose.

One or two hits were okay, but he had already been hit more than six times.

Eventually, blood started streaming down from both of his nostrils.

Velen wiped away the nosebleed with murderous eyes.

“Velen, are you still thinking of doing it alone? You look like you’re struggling.”

“That’s right, we could kill him quickly if we work together, why are you wasting your energy?”

“Don’t… interfere. I will kill that guy with my own hands.”

“I don’t mind if three of you come at me together. It’s just that there will be three noses to break.”

Meteor Shower provoked the other two as well, but they didn’t fall for it.

It was a pity.

He had just started to warm up, so he wanted to warm up a little more before killing Thomas.

“I’ll kill you!”

“Your line is too cliché.”

Meteor Shower deflected the extended sword with the back of his hand.

With a thud, the sword was pushed to the opposite side.

Again, Velen’s face was exposed, and Meteor Shower’s fist landed.

Like a machine gun spitting fire, Meteor Shower’s two hands battered Velen’s face.

Pow, pow, pow, pow…….

The sound was so pathetic that it made the listeners feel sorry for him.

Velen tried to resist, but Meteor Shower, who had already dug in, did not give him any more distance.

Whenever he tried to swing his sword, he would ghostily hit his arm and push it outwards.

Then, he would put strength into the center of his face again and extend his fist.

Velen’s face, hit, completely went backward and slammed into the ground.

With a crack, a large crack formed on the ground, and pieces of stone scattered in all directions.

“Now your nose is broken.”

Velen’s hand lost strength, and he dropped his sword with a clang.

He wasn’t dead.

Meteor Shower deliberately took the strength out of his hand at the last moment.

If he had not taken the strength out and had thrown his fist as it was, the knife that had entered his neck due to the speed would have pierced his chest.

“I thought it was a one-on-one match.”

“I’m not a bad guy who watches his comrade die. I said you could come at me three at a time, so you have no complaints, right? Heretic.”

“Well… I guess so.”

Meteor Shower took his hand off Velen’s face and stepped back two steps.

Then, he clenched his fist again.

“One person doesn’t even make a difference, so it would be better for two people to come at me.”

“If you want.”

“Hmm, now that I see it, two people seem insufficient, so it looks like all the other guys should come at me.”

“Let’s see how far this bastard goes!”

The Holy Knights left the fallen Velen behind and approached Meteor Shower with their swords drawn.

And when they came within striking distance, Meteor Shower raised his sword.

The next moment, a red light burst out from among the Holy Knights, pushing away those who had gathered.

Meteor Shower, standing in the middle of them with a red sword, said.

“Boxing Master is over now.”

From now on, it was Swordmaster’s time.

* * *

Around the time Meteor Shower was playing(?) with the Holy Knights, Jeanne, along with the other witches, was working to break the Vatican’s barrier.

She had flown towards the Vatican like Meteor Shower and split off in the middle, drawing magic circles in a different place.

Jeanne was guarding the surroundings, while the other two witches were focusing on their work.

In the meantime, two Holy Knights appeared in front of Jeanne.

Meteor Shower had taken all the aggro [aggression] of the Holy Knights, and the attire of the two was different from that of the ordinary Holy Knights.

And the most decisive thing was that she had the faces of the two in the data in her head.

“Kaien, Erze. Two of the Five Great Knights have come out to catch me.”

“Jeanne, I didn’t expect the witch who is considered the strongest among the witches to set foot in the sanctuary herself.”

“That’s too much for me. Who is spreading such nonsense that I am the strongest…….”

“It seems to be true that you are less affected by the effects of the sanctuary than other witches. Other witches wouldn’t even be able to move properly.”

“It’s because I am loved by God. Unlike you guys.”

Jeanne took a long breath and changed her clothes.

The robe and conical hat transformed into heavy armor, and the wooden staff in her hand transformed into a lance.

She, who had transformed from a mage to a warrior in an instant, declared, planting the end of her lance on the ground.

“From now on, you will not be able to touch anyone here. Let’s recreate the past of Orléans [French city famously defended by Joan of Arc] in this place.”

“So, you’re the Witch of the Holy War? How heretical. To try to use the power of God with the name of a witch, how rude.”

Kaien said, frowning, and drew his sword.

A two-handed sword imbued with energy.

Erze also drew the rapier from his waist and aimed it at Jeanne.

Great energy gathered in the swords of the two, but Jeanne did not take any stance, only holding the lance in her hand and standing proudly.

The swords of the two struck towards Jeanne.

However, the swords stopped right in front of Jeanne.

Because a large shield was already surrounding Jeanne and the witches behind her.

“You will not be able to pass through here. Absolutely.”

Jeanne, the Witch of the Holy War.

She is excellent in close combat, but she is even better at something else.

That is her ability specialized in defense.

Her best ability is in defensive battles.

Even if she can’t kill the opponent, she can endure it as much as she wants.

“Tch! Still, it will break if we keep hitting it! Kaien! Let’s go at the same time!”

“Okay.”

Erze and Kaien’s swords shot out again and struck Jeanne’s wall.

But the result was the same as before. The swords of the two could not penetrate Jeanne’s shield.

“Damn it! Why won’t it break?!”

“Didn’t I tell you? You guys can’t break this wall. It’s a waste of effort.”

“Can you say the same thing when the other knights come? Velen will soon be back with the head of another heretic!”

“…Well, I don’t know if the other knights will be able to come. I don’t think that person will lose at all.”

“Surely you didn’t come here with just four people believing in such a guy? To this holy ground? You’re completely crazy!”

“You’ll find out if you wait and see. No, rather… if you want to save the other knights, you should go there too? Soon… Ah, it’s starting.”

Jeanne said, smiling brightly. At the same time, behind Kaien and Erze.

A terrifying red energy that made their hands and feet tremble burst out from where the other knights were.

Even though they were far away, they could feel the intense bloodlust.

The sharp energy, as if they had a knife to their throats, seemed to swallow the entire Vatican.

Kaien, realizing that Jeanne’s words were not a joke, said.

“Erze, I think we need to go there. Now is not the time to worry about the witch.”

“Kaien!”

“Look at that energy! It’s not normal, one or two of them may have already been defeated. It seems he wasn’t just a simple heretic.”

Kaien spat out and glared at Jeanne.

She said calmly at the gaze asking what she had brought in.

“I recruited a heretic that you would be very happy to die for. Thanks to that, the Witch Council’s expenses are quite large.”

So.

“For the time being, we’ve become so poor that we have to suck up everything stored in the Vatican.”

It means you guys are screwed.

Jeanne raised the corners of her mouth.
