Swordmaster Wants to Live Peacefully 150

Hraesvelgr (3)

The wind was very cool.

So wonderfully chilling to the bone.

If only they weren’t in the middle of a skydive without parachutes from tens of kilometers above the ground.

KWA-KWANG-!!

And a massive explosion erupted from the collision of Hraesvelgr and the highest peak.

The storm scattered the falling people in various directions, and the twelve humans began their freefall.

“That really is one ignorant bird.”

Yuseongwu crossed his arms, wondering what to do.

Fortunately, the rocky mountain was high, so they would fall for quite a while.

He could afford to relax a little.

A bigger problem was.

“I-I’m falling! We’re fallinggggggg-!!”

Hetrise, who was clinging to his arm with both hands, screamed.

Skydiving from a place where the ground wasn’t even visible.

It was overflowing with romance and thrill.

Yuseongwu covered Hetrise’s mouth with his hand and looked around.

Jeanne and Baek Uhyeon were nowhere to be seen.

He used his senses to check, and it seemed they had been blown away some distance.

Still, it was somewhat reassuring that they were together.

Jeanne would know how to use speed reduction magic, so she should be able to land safely.

“In that case…….”

He had to recover the rest.

Yuseongwu briefly detached Hetrise and said.

“Wait here.”

“Huh?”

And his figure vanished in an instant.

Hetrise, left alone in the high sky, screamed again.

Each time Yuseongwu reappeared, he brought one person at a time and attached them to Hetrise.

“Uwaa, uwaaah! I’m gonna die!”

“W-where am I again?!”

“Kyaaaaaaak-!!”

Hetrise was able to calm down as her companions gradually increased.

Because everyone was screaming from all directions, the volume was sufficient even if she didn’t scream herself.

Soon, Yuseongwu appeared with Yu Jiwoo as the last one.

It happened in an instant, as if he were teleporting like a wizard.

Once everyone except Baek Uhyeon and Jeanne were gathered, Yuseongwu said.

“Jiwoo, can you use speed reduction magic?”

“I can, but it’s not a familiar spell, so ten people might be a bit… It’ll take a while. I might mess up and we’ll crash into the ground?”

“Then we’ll have to use that.”

“Tch.”

Yu Jiwoo rolled up his sleeves and injected mana into a bracelet crafted with gold and jewels.

It was an artifact prepared for today, containing a consumable but powerful protection magic.

“When’s the timing?”

“…Judging by the falling speed, now would be good.”

“Shit! ‘Sky Protection’!”

With a coarse curse, Yu Jiwoo raised the artifact high and shouted, and large golden wings soared from the bracelet, enveloping the ten people.

‘Sky Protection’ was a top-tier protection magic that negated all impact.

They soon landed safely on the ground and were able to encounter unexpected faces.

“Black Sky Dragon?”

The Black Sky Dragon happened to be where they landed.

The Black Sky Dragon was also surprised to see them descending from the sky.

“Aren’t those the Sword Soul divers? Why are they falling from the sky?”

Heukseonmu stepped forward and asked.

Instead of answering, Yuseongwu pointed to the sky.

Then, they too began to see it.

The aftermath of the storm that had occurred at the summit was slowly reaching this place. Dust and dirt poured down from the sky as if a nuclear explosion had occurred, and a storm blew in.

“…Evacuate! Evacuate to that cave over there!”

As soon as Heukseonmu saw it, he quickly gave instructions, and the Sword Soul also moved to the nearest cave.

He was a little worried about Jeanne and Baek Uhyeon, but…….

They weren’t beginners who had just become divers; they would have avoided it on their own.

Yuseongwu flicked his fingers, thinly spreading his aura, and blocked the entrance of the cave.

They had to wait for the aftermath to pass, but the storm would push into the cave.

The martial artists of the Black Sky Dragon couldn’t help but admire his handling of aura.

“…Will the other two be alright?”

Yuwol worried about Jeanne and Baek Uhyeon. Yuseongwu nodded and replied.

“They’ll be fine. They’re not five-year-old kids; they’ll take care of themselves.”

If it had been Shua-Niel instead of Jeanne, he would have been worried to death.

Since they had no choice but to wait in the cave until the storm subsided, Yuseongwu roughly sat down and exhaled a long breath.

As expected, breathing was easier down below.

What was most important to a warrior who used his body was breathing.

Only by circulating blood throughout the body through breathing could its true value be realized.

Even if he knew how to breathe well even in thin air, the summit was too thin.

It would have been impossible to continue fighting for tens of minutes.

‘It’s better this way.’

Since the summit had collapsed, if that guy wanted to fight, he would have to come down and fight.

As he thought that and recovered his spent energy, Heukseonmu approached and asked.

“Yuseongwu, I have something to ask you. Is this a good time?”

“What is it?”

“…To be blunt, have you not seen the mirror?”

“Never seen it. Why are you looking for a mirror here?”

As soon as Yuseongwu heard what Heukseonmu was saying about the ‘mirror,’ he knew what it was.

However, he didn’t tell them the truth.

It wasn’t a good idea to blab about what he had.

Koo-roo-roong…….

The cave shook slightly, probably due to the aftermath of the explosion.

Since the summit had collapsed, the falling debris was pounding against various parts of the rocky mountain.

Heukseonmu frowned, as if he didn’t like Yuseongwu’s answer.

However, he didn’t add anything. He knew very well that it was difficult to press someone who claimed not to know.

‘Did these guys come here to find that mirror? It must be something important. Then…….’

He couldn’t just hand it over easily.

The mirror was entrusted to Hetrise. She was talking to the others, unaware of anything, so Yuseongwu quietly spoke to her in the manner of ‘telepathic transmission’ [a technique to communicate directly with someone’s mind] from martial arts novels, audible only to her.

-Hetrise, this voice is only for you, so keep talking but don’t look around. And never take out the mirror in your possession.

He could see her nodding slightly.

Even though she was a diver crazy about alchemy, she had experienced all sorts of hardships.

She seemed to have grasped the situation with just a few words.

Heukseonmu was troubled by Yuseongwu’s denial, whom he had been suspecting.

Then, a person who had been standing in the back stepped forward in front of Heukseonmu.

“I’m late to introduce myself. Yuseongwu, the head of Sword Soul. Allow me to introduce myself.”

“…So the friend who’s been hiding in the back is finally coming forward.”

Heukseonmu tried to say something at his words, but stopped at the restraint.

Pushing back her hood, what was revealed were crimson eyes and silky black hair.

A beauty with outstanding features.

The real ‘Heavenly Demon,’ [leader of the Demonic Cult] who had been hiding behind Heukseonmu and playing the role of a hidden power, finally revealed herself.

“I am Heuk Sahyang, the leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect. I ask you, have you truly not seen the mirror?”

“I told you, I haven’t seen it.”

Correction.

It wasn’t just something important; it seemed to be something incredibly important.

To the point where the Heavenly Demon herself came forward to say this.

Heuk Sahyang narrowed her brow slightly, as if she didn’t like his twisted answer.

It was a change that wouldn’t be noticed unless one looked closely because the cave was dark.

He continued.

“What is that mirror that you’re making such a fuss about? Seeing as the leader herself has stepped forward, it must be something incredibly important.”

“That mirror is our sect’s sacred object. We have come to this distant land to find the sacred object.”

“The Demonic Cult’s sacred object?”

What was this again?

Why was something he picked up in Northern Europe the sacred object of the Demonic Cult in China?

And in the Abyss that had just opened.

And how did they know about it?

Several questions arose in his head, so he continued to think for a moment.

‘Does the Demonic Cult have someone who can do something similar to prophecy?’

Reaching a conclusion, Yuseongwu said to her in reverse [playing dumb to gain information].

“I don’t know about the mirror, but I could help you find it. Of course, I’ll charge you a lot…….”

“No, Yuseongwu. I am certain that you have taken the mirror.”

“On what basis?”

“Do you remember the guardian of the spire?”

“You’ve been saying things I don’t understand since earlier. If you have something, are you going to tell me to hand it over?”

“I will purchase it for a fair price.”

“Do you guys put a price on sacred objects? That’s amazing. Then I want to buy all the Demonic Cult’s sacred objects with money.”

Yuseongwu frowned and retorted, strangely hostile.

He had plenty of money anyway.

At his words, Heuk Sahyang’s brow furrowed even deeper.

It seemed she was trying to catch him with words, having seen it somewhere, but he wasn’t one to fall for that.

Having tried it, Yuseongwu had rarely lost in verbal arguments.

Later on, Anika Carlo ended up resolving things with words.

The Demonic Cult’s sacred object was in his possession.

Yuseongwu thought that was a great merit in itself.

Of course, swallowing it whole and pretending not to know was a bit much.

Unless it was obtained through a raid, the person who picked up an Abyss artifact was basically the first in line.

Since Yuseongwu kept denying it, Heuk Sahyang had no choice but to back down.

Even if she used force in this place, she wasn’t confident that she could take the mirror from him.

Heuk Sahyang was strong.

She was someone who was confident in her own strength.

She was stronger than the S-class divers known to the world, and in terms of martial artists, she was at the level of Hyeon-gyeong [a high level of martial arts mastery].

However, she couldn’t gauge Yuseongwu’s level.

At the very least, he was an existence who had reached a higher level than herself.

“Then, what happened up there?”

“Hraesvelgr is rampaging. I gave him a shoulder massage, and he went crazy and rammed into it.”

He gave him a very hot massage.

Yuseongwu said that, lifting his lips with his fingers to show his teeth.

Hraesvelgr’s blue blood was still on his teeth.

“He’s a very tough guy. And it seems like you guys will soon find out how tough he is.”

“What does that mean?”

“The storm will subside.”

Yuseongwu said that, turning his gaze towards the entrance of the cave.

The fiercely raging storm was subsiding.

Hraesvelgr, who had rammed his head into the summit, was regaining his senses and creating wind to drive away the storm.

To find him and kill him.

Soon, as the storm subsided, Yuseongwu retrieved the aura that had been blocking the entrance and walked out.

Heuk Sahyang followed behind him with a narrowed brow.

They came to know why this place was called ‘Hraesvelgr’s Perch.’

A bird was visible.

The monstrous birds they had faced so far seemed laughable in comparison.

It was so large that it was just background if you didn’t focus and look.

It was so huge that it was impossible to estimate with the naked eye, so Yuseongwu was at a loss for words.

But one thing was certain: if it spread its wings wide, it would definitely block the view.

He muttered quietly.

“I don’t know who it is, but they named the Abyss well.”

Hraesvelgr was sitting on the massive rocky mountain they had climbed, using it as a perch.
