Swordmaster Wants to Live in Peace Episode 123

Sword Spirit (6)

Hetris soon realized why Jeanne had told her to cheer up.

It was quite comfortable at first, but as the speed increased, her body couldn’t adapt, and she began to feel nauseous.

“Ugh, uuugh……”

Meteor Shower ran as fast as an airplane or train, but it didn’t have comfortable seats like an airplane or train.

It meant she had to take the full force of the air resistance.

As a Diver [a person with enhanced abilities], her body was sturdier than a normal human, so she endured it to some extent, but it was hard to bear the shaking of her internal organs.

Meteor Shower put her down.

It wasn’t out of concern for her, but because enemies had appeared in front of them.

They were the Murim Alliance Divers [Divers affiliated with the martial arts alliance] who had been tracking people to the cave earlier.

Meteor Shower snapped their necks and killed them all before Hetris could even come to her senses, then picked her up again and tucked her under his arm.

She was being treated like a piece of luggage.

‘Is he even human?!’

He didn’t seem like it.

He covered several kilometers in a few steps and took down top-tier Divers in an instant.

Even the strongest Diver couldn’t show such a feat.

Meteor Shower advanced like a battering ram.

Nothing stood in his way.

Or rather, it would be more accurate to say that nothing could.

Anyone who stood in his way would be cut down; he defeated dozens of Divers and arrived at the exit.

“Is this the right exit?”

“Ugh, yes, yes… but there will be more enemies outside.”

“That’s not much of a problem.”

“There will be S-ranks too……”

“S-rank or A-rank……”

Meteor Shower muttered, crossed the Abyss with Hetris tucked under his arm.

Then, the gazes of those stationed near the Abyss all turned to him.

Amid the pouring gazes, Meteor Shower said.

“Research facility direction.”

“That way!” Hetris pointed with her finger in the direction of the research facility where people had been taken again.

“What the hell is that bastard?!”

“Catch him! He’s a weirdo!”

People started running towards him.

Meteor Shower passed them with light steps and soared into the air.

The sight of him unfolding ‘Light Steps’ like in a Murim novel [a technique for moving swiftly and silently] made the Murim people crawling on the ground stare at him in a daze.

“Uwaaaaaaagh-!!”

“Shut up.”

The Hetris hanging there was dying from being shaken up and down.

Having risen into the air, he visually confirmed the location of the factory-like research facility and summoned Samjeong to use as a foothold.

Using the heavy Samjeong as a stepping stone, he leaped towards the research facility and, after resummoning Samjeong, he held it in one hand and plunged it down, smashing the ceiling of the research facility and entering.

A loud siren began to sound inside the research facility, and Meteor Shower scattered his aura inside the research facility to search for people.

‘Underground, huh.’

Now that he knew where the people were, the next thing was the medicinal ingredients.

Meteor Shower said again.

“Warehouse direction.”

“That way! Turn right there, go straight, and turn left at the blocked road!”

She gave him directions right away, as if it wasn’t a lie that she remembered all the roads.

Meteor Shower moved along the road, passing by everyone he encountered.

No matter how armed the soldiers were, they couldn’t react to his speed.

In an instant, he arrived at the medicinal ingredient warehouse, locked with a large vault door. He put Samjeong away and took out Ilsaeng.

Then, he immediately infused it with aura and cut the vault door in half as if cutting paper, then kicked it open.

Hetris, still tucked under his arm, swallowed hard.

‘…The vault door made of special alloy is being cut like tofu?’

Unbelievable sights continued to unfold.

Meteor Shower entered the large medicinal ingredient warehouse and looked around inside.

The Murim Alliance’s state-of-the-art storage was a place where the internal environment was perfectly maintained with all sorts of systems.

There were many things that alchemists or pharmacists would go crazy for, as all sorts of rare medicinal ingredients from the East and West were gathered there.

“Crazy bastards, they piled up the ingredients like this and told me to make elixirs with such trashy ingredients?”

“Their charges have increased.”

“But how are you going to take these medicinal ingredients? It’ll be hard to take them all, so burning them is also……”

“No, I’m taking them all.”

Meteor Shower had something he had received from Yoo Ji-woo in preparation for this.

It was the ‘Absorbing Bag,’ one of the artifacts.

An artifact of the subspace type with a very large internal space.

It was an artifact that served as a kind of ‘inventory’ for storing food and daily necessities.

He put Hetris down, untied the string of the bag at his waist, opened the bag wide, and said.

“Absorb everything.”

Then, an enormous suction force was generated from the bag, and it began to absorb all the medicinal ingredients piled up in the warehouse.

Before long, the bag devoured all the medicinal ingredients in the warehouse.

Meteor Shower broke the glass with Ilsaeng and sucked in the medicinal ingredients that were safely stored in separate reinforced glass.

Meteor Shower, who had taken even the strictly stored medicinal ingredients, put the bag back on his waist, picked up Hetris again, and swung his sword towards the floor.

The floor, which was several meters thick, cracked and revealed the underground floor.

He immediately threw himself there, and upon arriving at the underground floor, he quickly moved to where he felt the presence of people.

“Here it is.”

To him, who had broken through the warehouse door in an instant, a door with a few locks was no different from paper.

He opened the door and checked the people inside.

He had gathered all the captured people in one room, and there were no other presences felt other than them.

“Meteor Industry personnel, raise your hands.”

Two people raised their hands at his voice, as people who had been staring blankly at the suddenly opened door.

Meteor Shower put Hetris in the room and said, as they resembled the description he knew.

“I’ll clear the surroundings and come back, so wait here.”

“Yes, yes……”

Meteor Shower, who spoke simply, disappeared from the spot, and the remaining Hetris explained to the people.

“He’s a rescue team member dispatched from Meteor Industry. I volunteered to come along as a guide. So you don’t have to be too scared.”

“You came from Meteor Industry? Where did the CEO get someone like that… But did you two come?”

“In fact, he came alone. I only guided the way.”

“Oh, no! No! I heard that the guys called three S-rank Divers, saying they would strengthen security!”

Three S-rank Divers.

It was definitely a formidable force. But considering Meteor Shower’s skills so far, Hetris wondered if three S-ranks could really face him.

He had never shown his full strength to get here.

He surpassed the speed of others with simple movements and defeated dozens of people.

“It’ll be okay.”

It was just a feeling.

S-rank or A-rank, it didn’t seem to matter to him.

“Let’s wait here with peace of mind. I think he’ll be back soon.”

* * *

Since there were quite a few people to take, Meteor Shower decided to clear the surroundings.

Even for him, it was impossible to safely go to the Special Abyss with nearly ten people.

‘If I had known this would happen, I should have brought one more magician.’

It was a bit of a shame that Schuel was not here at times like this.

He went up to the ground floor of the research facility, climbed up the roof again, and stood on the roof.

People were gathering around. Divers and armed soldiers.

Meteor Shower blatantly provoked them by spreading his energy so that they could understand it well.

Those who couldn’t bear it slumped down on their butts and realized it, and those who endured it revealed their anger and approached.

“You can kill him! News has already arrived that the Murim people who entered the Special Abyss have been defeated!”

The Chinese Divers shouted loudly and pointed their weapons.

Meteor Shower looked at them approaching on the roof and lightly swung Ilsaeng.

Then, flames rose along the trajectory of Ilsaeng and illuminated the sky, which was gradually darkening.

“S, Samadhi Fire(三昧眞火) [a type of divine fire in Buddhist and Taoist traditions]?!”

“Everyone be careful! He’s a Murim person who has reached the realm of Hwagyung [a high level of martial arts mastery]!”

“Murim Alliance, Murim Alliance, they’re all out of their minds……”

It’s not Samadhi Fire, but the spirit’s flame.

Meteor Shower swung Ilsaeng again, scattering flames around, and lightly stepped off the roof.

The rising flames flickered slightly, and his figure disappeared.

“H, he disappeared!”

“Everyone, be wary of your surroundings!”

“It’s no use being wary.”

A murmuring voice was heard in the ear of one of the Murim people, who was holding his sword tightly and looking around.

He swung his sword right away at the eerie voice, but what came into his sight was an arm flying in the sky.

His arm, which was holding the sword, was separated from his body and spinning in the sky.

Meteor Shower flicked the arm flying in the sky with the tip of his sword and blew it away to another person.

The flying arm holding the sword pierces the leg of another Diver.

At the same time, the desperate screams of two people echoed.

Nevertheless, Meteor Shower did not stop and cut off the arms or legs of others, making them unable to fight.

“Ugh, ugh, ughaaaaaaagh-!!”

“My leg, leg! Legaaaagh-!!”

Various screams filled the research facility, which was beginning to darken.

The armed soldiers fired bullets at Meteor Shower, but he deflected them by swinging his sword at the same time as the gun barrel flashed.

The bullets they fired went to other comrades, so the hail of bullets stopped quickly.

When the number of legs and arms that Meteor Shower had cut off exceeded twenty, the Divers retreated all at once, taking the injured and their limbs.

And, Divers with a clearly different momentum from those he had faced so far stood on the roof.

“You villain! How dare you wreak havoc here!”

The number was three.

The middle-aged man with a dignified appearance in the center shouted in a loud voice.

The Lion’s Roar(獅子吼) [a powerful shout used in martial arts] echoed loudly around the research facility.

Meteor Shower frowned, picked at his ears, and said.

“It hurts my ears. Speak quietly.”

“You villain-!!”

“Uncle(伯父) [a respectful term for an older male relative or senior], I’ll talk. There’s no need for you to deal with such a shameless guy.”

A handsome young master standing next to the middle-aged man stepped forward, drew his sword.

Then, he pointed his sword at Meteor Shower and opened his mouth.

“I am Namgung Hyun-rok, the eldest son of the Great Namgung Clan! Reveal your identity, 괴인(怪人) [괴인 (goe-in) means ‘strange person’ or ‘weirdo’]!”

“Great Namgung Clan my ass… They’re the ones who imprison people……”

“Isn’t all of that for the sake of saving this tainted land! How can you not understand the great cause! As expected, 세외인(世外人) [세외인 (se-oe-in) refers to someone detached from the world or an outsider] can’t help it.”

“What kind of crazy bastard is this… Then, if you call him uncle, you’re also Namgung, so who are you?”

Meteor Shower swaggered and pointed at the last remaining person with the end of Ilsaeng.

The woman with her black hair neatly braided looked at Meteor Shower and turned her head as if she didn’t even want to answer.

Meteor Shower thought for a moment at her attitude, then stretched his sword forward and said.

“Okay, come at me anyway. Lowlife Murim trash.”

I’ll let you know what real martial arts(武) [martial arts] is.
