Swordmaster Wants to Live Peacefully – Episode 224

Guild Training (6)

The power to interfere with causality, to derive results while ignoring the cause—a power only possible for an omnipotent deity.

The god, who opened a door connected to another dimension with the simple act of ‘clapping,’ began to form a hand seal with a pair of hands.

With each hand seal formed, the orcs that emerged from the Abyss were enveloped in light.

It was clear that this was a ‘buff,’ so Meteor used Black Viper to counteract it.

“Do you think I’ll let you do as you please?”

As Black Viper was planted into the ground, the black earth undulated and spread out from him.

Covering the broken asphalt with complete darkness, it suppressed the orcs emerging from the Abyss with a debuff.

However, even the debuff from the Extreme Curse Zone could not completely offset it, and the orcs began to advance.

Their momentum, advancing in rows and columns as if they were soldiers, was overwhelming.

“I, I’ll stop them! Bathory! You focus on constructing the magic!”

“Understood!”

Jeanne, who had been wearing a robe and a pointed hat, stepped forward upon seeing the orc horde.

Her appearance transformed into full plate armor with no gaps visible. The staff in her hand turned into a long banner.

Golden energy flowed from her, taking on the appearance of a warrior rather than a witch.

The flag wrapped around the spear unfurled and fluttered in the wind.

“…Jeanne d’Arc, the Witch of the Holy War, declares a holy war in this place. I solemnly declare that this is a sacred war to repel foreign enemies.”

Jeanne muttered her proclamation and struck the ground with her banner, and golden ripples washed over the black earth created by Meteor.

Jeanne d’Arc’s magic was special.

A magic specialized for war, earning her the title of ‘Witch of the Holy War.’

There were restrictions that greatly increased its effectiveness only under certain conditions, but right now, all those conditions were met.

Her unique magic’s amplification was weighted more towards large groups than individuals, making it stronger the more enemies there were.

She began to emit golden energy from her entire body and struck the ground again with her banner, shouting.

“Let the holy war begin!”

Unique Magic – Holy Armament Deployment

The moment Jeanne charged forward, she accelerated at a speed that could not be followed by the eye and plunged into the orc horde.

With just that, several orcs were torn to pieces and scattered across the battlefield.

Jeanne continued to wield her banner within the orc horde, displaying a feat of unmatched valor.

Each time she swung her spear, orcs flew into the sky and crashed to the ground.

“Now is the time!”

The orc horde swarmed towards Jeanne, wielding spears and swords, but the golden shield that faintly surrounded her body blocked their attacks.

As she single-handedly held back the orc horde, Meteor leaped into the air and unleashed a barrage of strikes with Illyseong.

The barrier that had been cracking from his sword shattered with a crash.

Meteor summoned Samjeong to use as a foothold and leaped towards the hand in the air.

The rapidly swung Illyseong struck the orc’s clasped hands.

However, his sword only slightly cut the orc’s skin and failed to pierce through.

‘It’s tough……!’

It was a toughness that could not be properly cut even with Illyseong, which cuts anything well.

The sword could not penetrate the skin, let alone the muscles beneath it.

He had to take comfort in the fact that it was being cut even a little.

“……Hoo.”

He took a breath and spun in the air, swinging his sword.

Dozens of strikes poured down per second, striking the clasped hands.

A terrible metallic sound echoed from various parts of the clasped hands.

The recoil made his hands tingle, but he did not stop.

He rained down strikes like a storm.

The rain of metal continued to pour down to force the massive hand inward, but it only lightly brushed it off as if swatting away a fly.

However, even that was a disaster.

Just waving its hand caused a fierce storm of wind and magic to rage, smashing everything around it.

“……Tch.”

Meteor, who had been floating in the air, was blown away by the wind and landed on the ground.

The orcs, who had been hit by the attack that didn’t even seem like an attack, were also blown away and crashed here and there.

Bathory and Jeanne, who had been standing on the ground, seemed to have somehow endured it.

“What is this, a fly-swatting gesture……! Bathory! How long do you think it will take?!”

“Don’t ask me! My head is about to explode from calculating right now!”

“We need to know how long it will take!”

“…Let’s switch roles.”

Meteor, who had been walking slowly from afar, said.

“Bathory, send a message to the other mages. It’s too much for Jeanne to suppress the horde alone, so contact the divers [fighters specializing in infiltration and disruption] as well. It seems like it’s not the time to be picky.”

“Understood.”

“Also, contact the Witch Society. Ask them to gather information about the guy trying to come out of there. And Jeanne!”

“Yes!”

“Fall back. It would be better to clear out the orcs first.”

At his words, Jeanne immediately retreated, and Meteor took a long breath and lowered his stance.

He stretched his right foot forward and lowered his center of gravity to the extreme.

The sound of the orc horde approaching could be heard.

Even though they had been blown away once, their footsteps, gathering and walking in rows and columns, mingled together and shook the earth.

“Damn pig bastards…….”

He muttered quietly, exhaled all the air in his lungs, and took his foot off the ground.

His body, surrounded by red aura, stretched out in a straight line, and a sonic boom followed him.

Instantaneous Flash

And in an instant, his body disappeared and reappeared behind the orc horde.

What remained in the place where he passed was a red line drawn horizontally.

The red line, drawn equally on the bodies of the orcs, soon bisected them.

Meteor let out a long, red breath, and at the same time, the bodies of the split orcs rolled across the floor.

A raging gust of wind spread the smell of burning corpses everywhere, with the cut surfaces glowing red.

“Jeanne! Seal the entrance!”

At his shout, Jeanne spun her banner around and slammed the end of it into the ground.

Then, the asphalt around the Abyss surged up and temporarily sealed the entrance to the Abyss.

As the Abyss from which the orcs were emerging was blocked, Meteor continued his acceleration and soared into the air.

His target was the hand holding onto the Abyss.

If he could make even one of those hands let go, the closure of the Abyss would be accelerated.

“Damn it, get out of the way!”

However, the being seemed to be aware of this, as it used its empty hand to defend the other hand.

Meteor extended Illyseong and struck the defending hand, correcting his soaring path and slipping through the fingers.

Then, he returned Illyseong and stepped on the ring finger holding the Abyss, as if climbing a rock wall into another world.

He used the other world as a foothold, giving strength to his arm and standing firm.

He took Illyseong back in his hand and concentrated his mind.

‘Recall the feeling of the past.’

He had to remember.

The time when he crawled into Andro’s trap and cut down the ancient deity.

And the time when he recalled that feeling and cut down another deity.

What was in front of him now was the true form of a god that could not even be touched unless it was imbued with divinity.

An ordinary person would lose their mind just by witnessing it.

‘To cut down a deity…….’

Holding Illyseong with both hands, he drew up aura and divine power and poured it into one sword.

However, it was not enough to simply imbue it with power and swing it.

‘Gods’ are those who have completed a world.

Or beings born based on the faith of those who worship in a completed world.

So, to cut them down is the same as cutting down a world.

“I will cut.”

I will cut.

I will cut.

What Meteor put into the sword was aura, divine power, and will.

Kwaaaang─

The massive hand approached to crush the concentrating Meteor, but it collided with the banner flying from the ground and was pushed back with an explosion.

“Now is the time─!!”

Jeanne’s voice could be heard.

No, it couldn’t be heard.

Everything except himself, the sword, and the target to be cut was emptied from his mind.

He slowly raised Illyseong, held in both hands, above his head.

When the tip of the sword drew a beautifully soft curve and completely looked up at the sky.

When the aura, divine power, and will contained in the sword became completely one, and even the slightest vibration did not ring out.

He slowly slashed down.

Not slow, not fast.

He presents the most beautiful and sublime sword in the world.

When the tip of the sword came to his feet, Meteor sensed it.

‘I cut it.’

It could be said to be the best of all the swords he had wielded so far.

A sword born from hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of millions of swings.

A sword that had taken a step forward from the best sword he had ever wielded.

As if to prove it, a long crack was drawn on the orc’s ring finger where Meteor’s sword had passed, and blood spurted out like a fountain, soon splitting open to reveal black bones.

‘I couldn’t cut the bone.’

Meteor, covered in blood, saw the small sword mark engraved on the bone and exhaled.

“Get out of the way!”

Jeanne’s shout was heard.

He turned his head and saw two hands approaching from above and below.

Meteor chuckled and jumped down from that spot without any regrets.

He lightly landed, spinning once, and retrieved Black Viper and the other world, holding only Illyseong.

“I feel like I can do it now for some reason.”

The exhilaration he felt when he swung the sword remained intact.

The unique world unfolded with Illyseong.

He felt like it was possible now.

Kuooh─!!

The being, whose ring finger had been severely cut, screamed in an unknown voice.

The hand with the dangling flesh from the cut ring finger went into the Abyss, and now only one hand remained to support the Abyss.

Then, using the two intact hands, it began to form hand seals.

With each hand seal formed, magical power from another dimension gathered.

The amount of magical power gathering was unusual.

It was clearly a sign that it was about to unleash a different kind of great magic than before.

“Is it not the time yet? Jeanne! Bathory! Stop it!”

“You told me to construct magic, and now you’re telling me to stop it! Which beat should I 맞춰야 하는 건지 [match]!”

“You just have to match both!”

Dragon Fang Piercing Sea Strike

Holy Spear Banner Throw

Blood Magic: True Blood Storm

Meteor’s thrust, transformed into a dragon’s roar, went forth as a storm, and Jeanne’s banner added to its power at the forefront of the storm.

The blood magic unfolded by Bathory enveloped the storm and dyed it red.

The three’s attacks merged together and struck the hand forming the hand seals.

With a great explosion, an aftershock raged. The being’s hand seemed to stop for a moment from the three’s attacks, but it was not enough, and it moved again.

“Was it a little short? Then once more…….”

Meteor took a stance to launch another attack, but frowned and released his stance.

Similarly, Jeanne, who was trying to retrieve her banner and throw it again, tilted her head.

“Why did you stop?”

“It seems like we don’t need to do it anymore.”

As his words ended, the sky darkened, and a few faint stars in the sky twinkled.

And a pillar of starlight fell towards the Abyss.

It was the same as the being that came out of the Abyss.

A light of causality containing divinity.
