Swordmaster Wants to Live in Peace Episode 154

Hraesvelg (7)

Divers [individuals with supernatural abilities] who were focused on defense and long-range interception from below, as instructed by Yoo Seong-woo, frowned as light poured out from the falling Hraesvelg.

But they soon realized.

The brilliant light was not emanating from Hraesvelg, but flowing out from behind it.

The energy felt was not that of the Hraesvelg they had fought until now.

Soon, Hraesvelg crashed to the ground, raising a high cloud of dust, and a storm arrived.

Jeanne deployed a shield to block the storm, and when the dust cleared, an alien presence came into view.

Those adorned with golden artifacts and fluttering wings exuded intense killing intent as they descended.

Seeing this, Jeanne frowned and muttered.

“Valkyries…? Why are Odin’s warriors here…?”

“Valkyries? Are those Valkyries?”

“I’m sure. I’m from Europe, so I know the myths. Although the region is a bit different.”

They were slightly different from the Valkyries read in literature, but most of it matched.

Jeanne turned her gaze from the Valkyries to Yoo Seong-woo, who was still floating in the air.

‘What are you going to do now?’

Valkyries are also mythical beings.

A single entity may not compare to Hraesvelg, but each Valkyrie is an excellent warrior.

At least, they were definitely above S-class Divers, so Yoo Seong-woo’s decision was important.

‘…It would be impossible to fight Hraesvelg and the Valkyries at the same time.’

Jeanne knew Yoo Seong-woo’s strength.

But no matter how strong he was, it would be impossible to fight Hraesvelg and the Valkyries at the same time.

That meant they had to take on Hraesvelg, who had crashed to the ground, or the Valkyries who had just appeared.

As if he had the same thought, Yoo Seong-woo’s voice was soon heard.

-I’ll send Woo-hyun and Choi Ah-yeon. Finish Hraesvelg together. Somehow. If you can’t, just buy time.

The moment Yoo Seong-woo’s instructions were given, Jeanne, the next in command, began to direct the battlefield.

Leave the Valkyries to Yoo Seong-woo, and they would hunt the fallen Hraesvelg.

It would be a very difficult task… but they had no choice but to do it somehow.

* * *

Should it be called the Gate of the Sky?

The golden gate that appeared out of nowhere.

The five Valkyries who poured out from the golden gate each grabbed their weapons and looked at those floating in the sky.

Yoo Seong-woo immediately sent Baek Woo-hyun and Choi Ah-yeon down and said.

“The fact that the Valkyries came means that Odin has been watching all along…….”

Thanks to listening to Hetrice’s Northern European mythology education throughout the flight to Northern Europe, he was able to recall it quickly.

Valkyries. Odin’s direct unit, beings who take great warriors, Einherjar [chosen warriors], to Valhalla [heaven for warriors].

Well… to put it grandly, their essence was that they were the ones who ambushed warriors who fought well in wars and took them to Valhalla.

‘The number is five…….’

They were all fierce beings with well-organized energy.

Perhaps it was because they were beings who lived on the battlefield.

‘They must have experienced more battlefields than me. They’ve lived a long time, and they’ve killed a lot…….’

Hraesvelg is just a huge monster, but the Valkyries are warriors.

They were beings who had clearly honed their skills for a long time.

“Then, it will be a good experience.”

He was getting tired of beating up Hraesvelg.

What’s the fun in unilaterally beating up a guy who can’t even counterattack properly?

“My body is all warmed up, so it’s time to enter the main game.”

Yoo Seong-woo stretched his arms and legs and checked his condition.

The consumption of Aura [spiritual energy] was not that great.

He deliberately didn’t use Aura Armor for times like this.

The Aura consumed from beating up Hraesvelg was a small handicap for the Valkyries who were about to have their necks cut off.

“It doesn’t seem like they want to talk.”

All that was felt from the Valkyries was intense killing intent.

A group that would kill all the life in this place.

In the helmets worn by the Valkyries, bright yellow eyes rippled, and soon they fluttered their wings and charged at Yoo Seong-woo.

The Valkyrie in the very center, rushing in a wedge shape like migratory birds, held a sword.

To her left and right were spears, and the other two held hammers and axes.

Yoo Seong-woo maintained his balance with the Three Jeong [his swordsmanship technique] and observed their movements, gripping Ilseong [his sword] tightly.

Organized movement.

No gaps are visible.

Just looking at that, you could tell how long they had trained.

Yoo Seong-woo took a light step and stretched out his sword.

Five streaks of gold and one streak of red intersected.

The sound was heard a little later.

Kaaang-!

A clear metallic sound echoed in the air.

Along with that, scratches were engraved on Yoo Seong-woo’s body.

However, the Valkyries were not unscathed either.

In a one-to-five numerical disadvantage, Yoo Seong-woo slashed the chests of five Valkyries.

Perhaps because the power was dispersed, he couldn’t cut deeply.

But that was enough.

The purpose was to let them know how threatening he was, to prevent them from going down below.

His purpose was brilliantly achieved.

The Valkyries were going to turn Yoo Seong-woo into a honeycomb at once and pass by, but they realized that he was not as easy as they thought.

They looked at each other, nodded, and then fluttered their wings and changed their formation.

A formation to surround Yoo Seong-woo from all sides.

‘They’ve lost their cool. Then they’ll chase me.’

As soon as he saw that, Yoo Seong-woo reverse-summoned the Three Jeong and fell down.

He landed lightly somewhere on the rocky mountain that had become a mess due to the Hraesvelg crash, and the Valkyries who flew after him surrounded him and pointed their weapons.

The Valkyrie holding the sword said.

“It’s a pity to have met in such a battlefield. A spirited warrior who should have been taken to Valhalla.”

It sounds like a compliment, but it means they’re going to kill him.

Yoo Seong-woo did not respond to the Valkyrie’s words and gripped Ilseong tightly.

He was familiar with this one-to-many situation.

He had experienced it terribly in another world.

Inquisitors or assassins who came to find people who were living well…….

It was just that those humans had been replaced with winged ones.

Nothing much had changed, so he lightly kicked off the ground and moved forward.

The Valkyries were either gods or giants, so they were over 3 meters tall.

There was a difference in reach, but that could be covered with skill.

He received the sword extended by the Valkyrie with the tip of his sword and slipped in.

Two spears were extended from both sides towards him, but he twisted his body to avoid them by a hair’s breadth.

Yoo Seong-woo took another step forward.

His shoulder touched near the Valkyrie’s abdomen.

Ilseong was drawn upwards.

“……!”

The light flowing from the eyes of the Valkyrie, who had experienced all kinds of hardships, wavered.

The Valkyrie with the sword avoided a fatal wound by moving her center backwards the moment the sword was swung, but her helmet cracked in half, and bright yellow hair fluttered.

Yoo Seong-woo immediately stepped back to avoid the continuous attacks of the ax and hammer.

Then, he pointed at the Valkyrie with the sword, Swordkyrie, with the tip of his sword and said.

“I only hit one guy.”

The Valkyries narrowed their eyes and watched him at the strange declaration.

Yoo Seong-woo took another step as if to prove it.

The Valkyries allowed the charge without even adapting to the speed, which was twice as fast as the previous attack.

His red sword fell towards Swordkyrie, drawing a graceful curve.

Only Swordkyrie, who had been watching him until the end, barely reacted to the speed.

Yoo Seong-woo swung his sword down, so she raised her sword from below.

The two swords that met in the center sparked.

However, it was Swordkyrie’s sword that was pushed back.

Her sword was driven down because her reaction was slow and her strength was insufficient.

Yoo Seong-woo took a step forward and struck her abdomen with an elbow loaded with Aura.

“Cough!”

“And sometimes.”

And then he turned backwards in one rotation, knocking away the two spears.

Deflecting the hammer that came with the rotation, he even dodged the ax by bending backwards.

The rotation does not stop.

He bent down and kicked the shin of the closest Hammerkyrie with his foot.

Hammerkyrie loses her balance and falls. Yoo Seong-woo immediately pulled his body out of that spot and created distance.

He smiled at the corner of his mouth as he messed up the formation of the five in an instant.

“Yeah, this is a proper fight…….”

The formation he had broken quickly returned to its place.

A deeper sense of vigilance settled in the eyes of the Valkyries.

Yoo Seong-woo, who had read the killing intent and vigilance in their eyes, took a long breath and widened his eyes.

Recognizing the Aura running along the bloodstream, he finely divides time.

He divides 1 second, divides it, and divides it again, stepping into the finely divided time.

As time began to flow slowly, he was able to look around more calmly.

‘I don’t need a domain.’

The most important thing when using a well-coordinated one-to-many is to relentlessly beat up one guy.

That too, the center point.

Yoo Seong-woo saw the various weapons that were rushing at him.

This time, the two spears were extended first, as if to block his approach.

It may be a speed that ordinary people cannot see.

But to Yoo Seong-woo now, it was a very slow spear.

He stretched his legs high as if he were doing a hurdle race.

He used one spear as a stepping stone and jumped into the air as it was.

Now that the winged ones have come down to the ground, the positions have been reversed.

He gathered Aura and injected it into Ilseong.

Ilseong, which was already red, vibrated even more redly.

Yoo Seong-woo unleashed the Aura as it was, without holding back.

The bright red light flashed and dyed the world.

The dark sky momentarily turned blood-red, confusing the vision.

The slowly flowing time returned to its place.

The five Valkyries simultaneously raised their heads and looked at Yoo Seong-woo.

Amazement was written on the faces of the warriors who had experienced all kinds of hardships.

“I said I only hit one guy.”

Maybe.

Sometimes five guys.

* * *

While Yoo Seong-woo was fighting the five Valkyries, those who were relatively lower down were fighting the fallen Hraesvelg.

Hraesvelg could not fly because there was something wrong with its magic engine.

The Sword Soul Divers continued the raid.

“These, son of a bitches! These bastards, really!”

While dealing with the Hraesvelg’s offspring that flew in from somewhere.

“Raise the shields more-!!”

They blocked the magic rays that Hraesvelg was shooting.

Every time Baek Woo-hyun’s sword flashed, the necks of the grotesque birds fell, and every time Choi Ah-yeon’s daggers cut through the air, a chilling sound of tearing flesh was heard.

Yuwol used her high jumping ability to land on the back of a grotesque bird, and then tore off its wings with force.

“Now!”

Along with Yoo Ji-woo’s shout, magic and various abilities flew through the sky towards Hraesvelg.

A large explosion occurred from Hraesvelg, who was charging magic rays, and a noticeable wound was visible.

From that sight, Yoo Ji-woo saw the possibility.

‘If we keep this up, it’s possible.’

Hraesvelg Raid.

Didn’t the other guilds give up and descend the mountain?

As much as that, the rewards they would get would be even greater.

Including Hraesvelg’s tail feathers and this and that…….

Imagining such things, Yoo Ji-woo couldn’t control the rising corners of his mouth.

However.
