Swordmaster Wants to Live Peacefully – Episode 210

White-Faced Golden-Haired Nine-Tailed Fox

“I feel much better now.”

Yuseongwoo moved his body, cracking his joints.

He stood in the center of what could only be described as Dalgi’s personal domain.

Perhaps because of this, his body hadn’t moved properly since entering. But after planting the Three Jeong [Three swords that can suppress curses] and Heuksa [Another sword], his movements became a little easier.

It felt like they were neutralizing her influence, even if only slightly.

In that state, he summoned Ilsaeng [One of Yuseongwoo’s swords] again, held it in his hand, and took a long breath.

He couldn’t drag this out.

Maintaining his abilities with three swords summoned was a significant burden, even for him.

“Y-You, you, you son of a bitch!”

A roar that seemed to rupture eardrums echoed from Dalgi.

It was just a shout, but it felt like the palace was shaking.

Yuseongwoo frowned, then grinned.

To deal with a madman, he needed to be mad himself.

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.

Blood for blood, madness for madness.

He had to repay as much as he received.

“Yes, scream more! Scream louder! Keep going until one of us dies!”

He infused his voice with Aura [Internal energy] and shouted madly, kicking off the ground with force.

Dalgi, still sitting on the throne, waved her hand, exerting her authority.

Dalgi’s powers within her unique world were diverse.

She controlled attraction and repulsion, charm, and thousands of spells learned as a yokai [A class of supernatural monsters, spirits, and demons in Japanese folklore].

“I will grind your body to dust!”

Tails surged from behind Dalgi. Five tails revealed themselves.

The tails extracted chunks of different elements and shot them at Yuseongwoo.

Yuseongwoo, rushing forward at high speed, split the elemental masses with his sword as he advanced.

However, the elemental masses exploded as soon as they were split, engulfing him in flames.

Yuseongwoo quickly retreated to minimize the damage, but he felt heat all over his body.

Still.

It was a moderate heat, just enough to feel his body warming up.

He let out a hot breath, glared, and dodged the foxfire flying toward him.

Explosions and storms erupted where the foxfire landed.

“Do you think you can escape!”

Dalgi formed a hand seal, and her tails trembled before stretching out to target Yuseongwoo.

They were larger and faster than the ones Cheonugong [Previous enemy] had wielded.

As if unaffected by gravity, they surged forward with their sharp tips at impossible angles.

He gently swung Ilsaeng to deflect three of the tails.

However, he couldn’t completely negate the impact, and the aftermath alone caused cuts on his body, splattering blood.

“Burn to death!”

The tails that rushed in belatedly caught fire and blazed, then struck from multiple directions, leaving no room to dodge.

He couldn’t avoid them.

They were approaching from subtly different angles, so no matter which way he dodged, he would be hit.

Then he had no choice but to break through.

Taking a step forward, he returned Ilsaeng and summoned Yonggwang [Another of Yuseongwoo’s swords].

A thrust, especially with Yonggwang, which specialized in penetration, had Aura spiraling along the sword’s blade.

Five Swords.

Dragon Fang Piercing Sea Strike.

A point strike extending from the end of the spiral.

Instead of drawing out a long sword aura, he drove the dragon’s teeth into the tails coming straight at him, advancing.

The dragon’s teeth pierced the fox’s tails. He threw his body into the space created by the piercing, dodging the burning tails, and advanced again.

“Three Jeong! Hold them!”

Kwaddeudeuk.

At his cry, black tree roots sprang from the black earth, formed by the Extreme Curse Zone, and grabbed the tails.

The tails tried to burn the roots, but the roots were already engulfed in black flames and burning.

Rather, they tried to devour the tails’ flames and erode them.

As the tails’ movements stopped, Yuseongwoo accelerated instantly.

Like his name, he drew a star’s trajectory and flew toward Dalgi.

“I’ll drag you down from that seat first.”

With a frighteningly red glint in his eyes, he slammed Yonggwang down on her.

The barrier surrounding Dalgi blocked Yonggwang.

“Excavation.”

The spiral Aura from Yonggwang swirled and pierced the barrier.

A hole was pierced in one spot, disrupting the balance of magic, and the entire barrier shattered and scattered.

Yuseongwoo slammed Yonggwang into Dalgi’s shoulder, even shattering the throne.

‘I aimed for the heart.’

At that moment, she twisted her body and avoided it with her shoulder.

The throne collapsed, and as Yuseongwoo and Dalgi’s bodies overlapped, Dalgi stretched out both hands and aimed for his heart.

‘I can withstand it once.’

Reading the trajectory of the approaching hands, he concentrated Aura in one spot to form a barrier.

If it were an Aura Armor covering his entire body, it would be mercilessly pierced by her hands, so he concentrated his Aura to increase his defense.

And as he expected, the Aura Armor protected his heart once.

Thung!

Dalgi’s hands were blocked and bounced back, and Yuseongwoo reached out and grabbed her by the collar, pulling her in.

Again, with some kind of spell, Dalgi’s face changed into a fox, revealing sharp teeth like gears.

She tried to bite his neck, but Yuseongwoo reacted to that as well, headbutting her nose with his forehead.

“Kyaeng!”

“Finally making dog-like noises!”

Yuseongwoo tried to continue his attack while still grabbing her collar, but Dalgi’s figure suddenly turned into smoke, escaping from her spot and reappearing at a distance.

Yuseongwoo turned to look at her and muttered.

“Her survival skill is gone…….”

“……I was going to deal with you moderately, but you’re hastening your death! From now on, I will show you what a true difference in class is!”

“How cliché.”

Dalgi declared that she would use her ultimate move.

If she was going to use it, she should have used it sooner.

However, he couldn’t underestimate her, so Yuseongwoo heightened his tension and inhaled.

The energy flowing from Dalgi became even more immense, and all the wounds he had inflicted were healed.

A dark golden light burst out, and the tails wriggling behind her back swayed, increasing in number.

From five to eight, from eight to ten.

As if alive, they were dividing.

It didn’t stop at ten but increased to twelve, constantly shaking his vision.

“I don’t know why you weren’t charmed… but if charm doesn’t work, I have no choice but to tear you apart and kill you directly.”

“Yeah, fuck it, let’s see if you die today or I die.”

Twelve-Tailed Fox.

Even a Nine-Tailed Fox was a terrifyingly powerful yokai.

Ten tails, Sipmi (十尾) [Sipmi is the Korean reading of the Chinese characters for ‘ten tails’], corresponded to a quasi-divine being who had earned the right to ascend.

Even Hojosa [Another character] had reached the upper divine rank after accumulating training, but she was only a Cheonho [A fox spirit] with nine tails.

But twelve tails.

That meant that her divine power was comparable to an upper divine being.

But even so.

She hadn’t reached the level of a Great God like Luna [Another character].

He was grateful to her again.

Because he had faced such a Great God before…….

No matter how strong Dalgi was, she was below Luna. There was no reason to be intimidated.

The twelve tails swirled, drawing a golden circle counterclockwise.

A movement that seemed to reverse the world and a sense of pressure that began to pour down like a waterfall.

Dalgi’s divine power, constructing a new world, vibrated and tried to devour the entire Abyss.

‘I’m glad I sent the others out.’

He would have to praise Batori [Another character] when he got out.

If it weren’t for her, everyone inside the Abyss would have been devoured by the world she had newly constructed.

“I have grasped the myriad phenomena of the universe. Shedding the mortal shell as I reach divinity, there is no world I cannot reach…….”

Dalgi muttered, moving her hand.

What her outstretched hand drew was the same reversing circle that her tails were drawing.

The halo drawn along her fingertips rotated, filling it with incomprehensible strings of characters.

Following that, a pattern like a flower bud was engraved on her forehead, and an irresistible energy and light burst out, covering his vision.

And when the light subsided, the scene that came into view exuded a different atmosphere from the desolate palace.

Of course, not in a good way.

Things that were either humans turned into skewers or skewers turned into humans were lined up.

A stream flowed with so much alcohol that it rotted the nose.

[Unique World]

[Liquor Pool Meat Forest Heavenly Wheel] [A world of extreme decadence and cruelty]

In the center of such a place, Dalgi was floating slightly in the air, looking down at Yuseongwoo.

***

When Dalgi unfolded a new unique world from the inside, there was chaos outside the Abyss as well.

Yuseongwoo collapsed the barrier with the flames of the Three Jeong Swords, and Batori sent out those inside.

After the battle with Cheonugong, she even collected the Heavenly Demon and escaped the Abyss.

And not long after she escaped, the Abyss became even larger, and a transparent membrane blocked the entrance.

“What is this again!”

They had barely escaped and were about to ask for help when the Abyss suddenly changed.

Nothing could be certain inside the Abyss, but…….

“Prepare for battle!”

Yuwol [Another character], who had been resting, quickly got up from her seat and shouted.

No one refuted her cry.

The reason for the cry soon became apparent before their eyes.

A double Abyss had opened.

This time, it didn’t attract people, but monsters poured out to devour the exhausted ones.

The things that were popping out of the black hole were the fox monsters they had fought inside the Abyss earlier.

Besides the muscular ones, there were several other types.

The divers and martial artists who had escaped the Abyss and were resting got up from their seats and took up their weapons.

The three forces, the Demonic Sect, the Orthodox Sect, and the Unorthodox Sect, who had been dragged into the Abyss, temporarily formed an alliance to defeat the enemies in front of them.

“…This isn’t good.”

“I hope Seongwoo [Yuseongwoo’s nickname] is safe.”

Baek Woo-hyeon [Another character] and Yuwol took long breaths and braced themselves.

They had barely escaped the Abyss when suddenly a double Abyss, a double gate phenomenon, occurred.

This was definitely not a coincidence.

“He’ll be fine. If it’s Master, he’ll soon cut down the enemy inside and come out.”

“I think so too.”

“I, I believe so too.”

Baek Woo-hyeon and Choi A-yeon [Another character] replied to Yuwol’s worry.

Seomun Young-il [Another character] answered belatedly, but no one heard her answer.

It was because they had immediately rushed out to face the fox monsters.

And the battle began.

“These damn foxes!”

A loud roar echoed through the battlefield, and pillars of fire raged from all directions.

It was Yeongmyeong [Another character] who had escaped from the Abyss.

Unlike Heuksa-hyang [Another character] and Yuseongwoo, he hadn’t even reached Cheonugong, so he had no choice but to come out of the Abyss without being able to insist on Batori’s words.

And he was pouring out that anger on the foxes that had just popped out.

Following that, tree roots that had sprung from the ground wrapped around the flames and pierced the foxes.

It was Shua-nel’s [Another character] magic, angry at being disturbed in her game.

The manifestation of magic, which was more violent than usual, caused a storm of magic, preventing most people from even entering the battlefield.

Seomun Young-il, who was about to enter the battlefield following them, stopped in front of the pillar of fire and muttered.

“I, I guess I’ll just cheer them on…….”
