Swordmaster Wants to Live in Peace 134

Ascension Church Priest Andro

-Hide well, or your hair will show… If I see it, I’ll kill you…….

Suwon Branch of the Ascension Church.

Faint singing could be heard from afar, emanating from there.

Andro held his breath, listening intently to the song, certain it was coming from Yoosungwoo.

It was a chilling melody.

-Starting with what I can see, I’ll chop you into minced meat little by little.

Where on earth is it coming from?

Andro focused on the singing, then shook his head to clear his thoughts and remembered what he had to do.

Kill Yoosungwoo.

That was the only thing he had to do. Suwon was a branch of the Ascension Church, and there were many useful things there.

There were artifacts, and there were people who had come out for the dawn prayer.

The voices of Yoosungwoo did not seem to reach those who were sitting in the chapel for the dawn prayer, quietly offering their prayers.

Only Andro could hear the chilling announcement of murder.

-Andro, Andro… Jesus loves you… No, this is Peter. You android bastard…….

The strange nonsense was a bonus.

He hid in the basement of the Ascension Church building, preparing a great magic.

The preparation to kill Yoosungwoo was complete.

He had arrived faster than expected, but Andro had also finished his preparations quickly.

“…Yoosungwoo, I will take your noble soul.”

* * *

Yoosungwoo chewed on the remaining jerky, singing a song.

His song was utterly terrible.

The song, which he was spouting out randomly in his head, echoed through the church, but only Andro could hear it.

It was a song that ordinary people who could not sense Aura [a mystical energy] could not hear.

Yoosungwoo sang as he entered the church.

There were people inside the church.

The number of Ascension Church members offering dawn prayers was about six.

It was fortunate that there were so few people because it was still very early in the morning.

The people did not notice Yoosungwoo’s presence.

There was no way that an ordinary person could recognize a Swordmaster who had suppressed his presence to the extreme.

He headed inside the church at a leisurely pace.

“This way.”

There was a trace that seemed to be guiding him.

It was telling him to come this way, to come further down.

Yoosungwoo slightly raised the corner of his mouth and moved his steps inside.

The trace led to the basement of the church.

After passing through a small passage and walking down the stairs where the light bulbs were flickering, a large space was revealed.

“They even built an underground passage like this in the middle of the city, the Ascension Church must have a lot of money.”

Since ancient times, cults have exploited people to earn enormous amounts of money.

Why would the Ascension Church be any different?

They would have squeezed even more money out of them.

Yoosungwoo looked around the basement, and then opened his mouth when he saw someone standing inside.

“Andro, you bastard. You were hiding here. How long have I been looking for you…….”

“It’s been a while, Yoosungwoo. To be reunited in a place like this.”

“I missed you so much.”

“…Me too.”

“Don’t lie when you’ve already been watching me. You son of a bitch.”

Yoosungwoo walked towards Andro without even taking out his sword.

However, the further he walked towards Andro, the further the distance between them grew.

“Playing interesting tricks.”

Yoosungwoo, who was walking, kicked the floor hard and moved forward.

When the distance narrowed again, he swung his fist greatly towards the floor.

With a loud bang, a magic circle appeared on the floor and shattered into pieces.

Then, the corridor that had been lengthening shrank, and Andro appeared before Yoosungwoo’s eyes.

“Why don’t you try teleporting like you did back then.”

He muttered again and stretched his fist towards Andro’s chin.

He reflexively teleported and safely escaped from that spot.

However, he coughed up blood and knelt on one knee in the spot where he had teleported.

“Cough!”

“Do you think I’ve only caught one or two magic-using bastards?”

Before, the space was wide, so he couldn’t stop him from teleporting.

But in a confined space like this basement, even if you’re not a magician… a swordsman can also stop teleportation.

“H, how…….”

“I scattered Aura. The basis of teleportation is non-overlapping coordinates. If there is Aura in the place you are trying to move to, of course… you will be torn to shreds.”

When it comes to the density of Aura and magic power, Aura is denser.

Magic power is about purity, and Aura is about depth.

When magic power and Aura collide, the lingering scent of dense Aura remains.

“That’s the principle.”

“…As expected, you are no ordinary human. You are more sublime than anyone I have ever seen, and you have reached the realm of transcendence.”

“You are the most pathetic magician I have ever seen.”

“However, there is something you have overlooked. That I am also an existence in the ranks of transcendence like you…….”

“What nonsense is a guy with a severed arm saying… Where did you pick up that arm and stick it on?”

Yoosungwoo looked at Andro’s arm, which he had cut off last time, with a look of wonder.

Seeing that the length was slightly different from the arm that had been attached before, it was clear that it was someone else’s arm.

“…This is the end. Your journey is over. The red light that sprang from the darkness will soon fade away.”

“Can’t you do something about that tone? No, well, I won’t have to hear it anymore.”

As Yoosungwoo reached out his hand, a red sword was grasped in his hand.

The red sword, spewing out murderous intent, resonated with his will.

The magic power wandering in the atmosphere is scattered by the intense Aura.

At that moment, Andro’s expression hardened.

Surely, he hadn’t used a lot of power under the Exquisite Scenery [a dangerous and mysterious place]?

He had defeated the Annihilation Dragon that he had prepared, and even faced the ancient deity.

But where on earth is that energy gushing out from?

Is that what they mean by a power that has no end?

‘Even so.’

Andro did not stop.

He placed his hands on the floor and cast a magic spell.

The magic circles that densely filled the basement floor shone brightly and manifested the magic.

“This is the end for you too.”

The magic circle on the floor turned black, and darkness in the form of a snake sprang out from within, constricting Yoosungwoo’s body.

“Open, open the gates of hell… drag the human of deep sin into the underground, drag the one who cannot resist inside…….”

Following that, the door opens.

A large door filled with humans carved in all sorts of shapes below his feet.

It was clearly a door leading to hell.

He opened a door to another dimension in the form of ‘magic’.

“I’ll throw your soul into the depths of hell.”

Yoosungwoo was slowly being dragged into the gates of hell.

Like falling into a swamp, he slowly sank in, starting from his feet to his knees and thighs.

The black snake that bound him was a snake made of poison and curses.

It paralyzed his whole body and dulled his thoughts.

Because it was a magic that applied such a ‘principle’ that even a transcendent could not resist, Yoosungwoo would not even be able to resist once he was caught.

Andro was certain of his victory.

No matter how strong he was, even if he had entered the ranks of transcendents.

He cannot escape the basic principles.

The ancient deity had bound Yoosungwoo with darkness, but he had cut through the darkness with his sword and escaped.

Then he just had to not give him a chance to swing his sword.

He would dye his whole body with poison and curses, making it impossible for him to even twitch a finger.

Following that, he activated the magic circles he had created on the ceiling in succession.

A magic for certain death.

A gravity thousands of times greater pressed down on him, and sharp spears of light aimed at his neck from all directions.

In order to stab him as soon as he showed any movement.

Andro smiled behind his mask, certain of his death.

However, the next moment, Yoosungwoo’s lips, who seemed unable to move due to being poisoned and cursed, moved and spat out a voice.

“…I was wondering what you had prepared, but you only filled it with useless things.”

Yoosungwoo muttered and tilted his head to look at Andro.

His eyes, caught in the darkness, shone red and stared at him.

As if this was nothing, just calmly.

“A bluff!”

Andro thought it was a bluff and pushed in more magic power again.

The gates of hell swallowed Yoosungwoo quickly, and the gravity pressed down on him even more strongly.

However, Yoosungwoo still did nothing and only fell under the gates of hell.

‘As expected, a bluff!’

And then, when half of his upper body was eaten by the gates of hell.

The change began to happen.

Red light flowed out from Yoosungwoo’s whole body, and soon the gates of hell pushed him out as if spitting him out.

“I’ve been able to do something interesting this time…….”

He muttered and stood up from the gates of hell, swung his sword to cut through the spears of light, and smashed the magic circle by hitting the ceiling.

As if there was nothing that had been binding him from the beginning, he stood tall on two feet and even split the darkness on the floor with the tip of his sword.

“The power of divinity is truly amazing. The power to make the impossible possible. It’s ridiculous.”

Yoosungwoo learned how to wield ‘divinity’ while facing the Annihilation Dragon and the nameless deity in the deepest part of the Exquisite Scenery.

People often use the expression ‘a god dwells in the sword’ when they have honed their sword for a long time.

He realized that the Swordmaster was only an intermediate step to having a god dwell in the sword.

At the end of the other world, Yoosungwoo finally had a god dwell in his sword, and it cut down the Demon God.

He had contemplated through the sword to revive that feeling under the Exquisite Scenery.

To have a god dwell in the sword, and to wield the god.

The realm of ‘Sword God (劍神) [Geomseong in Korean, a being of immense swordsmanship skill]’, the next stage of the Swordmaster.

Yoosungwoo became an awkward transcendent who had stepped into such a realm through the experience of the Exquisite Scenery.

At least now, there was nothing in the human world that he could not cut down.

“And poison and curses… not bad. But it doesn’t work on me.”

They would have been effective on other people.

However, Yoosungwoo had some resistance to both poison and curses.

Moreover, the Black Serpent engraved on his soul eats poison and curses as it pleases.

He was currently suffering from indigestion because he had eaten too much, but it was nothing compared to the deity.

Yoosungwoo leisurely split all the magic that Andro had unleashed with a single sword and approached him with slow steps.

Deliberately making the stomping sound loud, very slowly.

“…You’ve been toying with me so well. Starting with the elf’s work, to the Exquisite Scenery. I couldn’t sleep because I was worried about how to kill you.”

“…….”

Andro held his breath as he watched Yoosungwoo approaching him.

Fear.

It seemed as if an existence made of fear was walking towards him.

However, Andro did not give up. He had not lost yet.

“Since it has come to this, I have no choice. Yoosungwoo.”

“Yeah, do whatever else you can. How did I get here, it wouldn’t be fun if it ended like this.”

Andro dripped cold sweat at his words.

It’s not an empty word.

The appearance of being certain that he would win no matter what he did was even more terrifying to Andro.

“But, no matter how much it is you… you won’t be able to win easily.”

A power that he never intended to use.

Andro willingly decided to take out the taboo sealed deep within him.

The energy flowing out of him changed, and soon even the form changed.

Yoosungwoo evaluated such Andro and looked at him with interest.

‘Transformation, I hope he doesn’t turn into a cockroach.’

That would be a bit disgusting.
