The Swordmaster Wants To Live Peacefully [EN]: Chapter 228

Swordmaster Wants to Live Peacefully – 225

Guild Training (7)

The pillar of starlight that fell from the sky sent shivers down the spine just by looking at it.

A stream of light containing causality that those who have not transcended cannot touch.

Those who had only looked down from the sky, from another dimension, had intervened.

Jeanne, who had been calmly watching the scene, muttered.

“…The causality consumed by that giant hand must be no joke. It seems that the gods of this land have room to intervene because it intervened too much.”

“Hmm, I roughly understand.”

“Really?”

“What do you think of me? I know that gods cannot intervene in the mortal realm. But isn’t it that everyone is sanctioning him because he tried to intervene by force?”

“Oh… that’s accurate.”

Yu Seong-woo flicked Jeanne’s forehead and estimated while looking at the falling stream of light.

‘Are those beings the ones we have to defeat someday?’

The stars in the sky and the gods of Earth.

Beings whose allegiance is unknown.

“……”

Ding-a-ling—

After standing there for a while, the sound of bells was heard from somewhere.

The sound of bells, as if coming from all directions, rang out at regular intervals.

Following that, fog rushed in with the wind and covered the area.

Fog covering the three people and the giant Abyss.

There seemed to be no hostility, so they waited quietly, and footsteps gradually approached from behind.

“What’s going on here?”

He asked, turning his head.

It was Kim Yun-ju standing there.

Cheonun Seonnyeo [Heavenly Cloud Fairy], an A-class diver of the Osaek Mudang Association [Five Colors Shaman Association] and a famous shaman.

Dressed in colorful clothes, holding a sword and a bell in each hand, she approached with two veiled servants at a slow pace.

Jeanne and Batory were overcome with vague fear as soon as they saw them.

Jeanne squeezed the holy spear with her trembling hands and said.

“…A being who is human but not human, the Lamb of the Lord Jesus meets the god of this land.”

“Jeanne, why are you being so formal? Korean gods are easygoing. Right?”

Jeanne was shocked by Yu Seong-woo’s words, which showed not even a speck of respect for the gods.

It was an unimaginable remark for her, who had devoted herself to religion since childhood.

Batory subtly hid behind Yu Seong-woo.

As an undead and vampire against the natural order, she felt an instinctive aversion to the gods.

“I can understand up to that point, but I don’t know why you came here in person. Are you going to explain it now?”

Yu Seong-woo pointed to the pillar of starlight with his finger.

The iron hammer containing the wrath of the gods that fell from the sky was burning the giant hand and even closing the Abyss.

That meant that the giant hand had done something enormous.

If Yu Seong-woo hadn’t stopped it in advance, this area would have been devastated.

At his words, Kim Yun-ju opened her mouth.

A voice that was not originally hers, but a clearer, non-human voice flowed out.

“You have summoned something absurd, Yu Seong-woo.”

“What… I summoned it? That crazy Ascencionist bastard did something messed up……”

He had been dealing with that guy until just now, and he was a bit stressed, so good words didn’t come out.

Besides, the first thing she said was like, ‘What are you doing?’ even more so.

“That is also your karma. You may not be aware of it, but you have accumulated tremendous karma by wielding the Killing Sword (殺劍) [Sakken, a sword embodying the concept of killing]……”

“Why is that my fault? It’s the fault of the crazy bastard who sent me to another world……. No, isn’t it ultimately your fault? If you are the gods of Earth, you should protect the Earthlings well. Why couldn’t you stop that one thing and sent me to another world?”

Yu Seong-woo picked his ear with his finger as if telling her not to talk nonsense.

“If that’s all you have to say, get out of here without pissing me off. I feel like my patience is running out. I might cut that shell off.”

“…Your arrogant attitude will eventually ruin things. Surely.”

“It’s like cursing me for only telling the truth, I see what you are.”

The starlight that fell just now must be similar. It wasn’t that he wanted to save them, but he didn’t want to give up the territory to outsiders.

The wind blew, and the voice coming from Kim Yun-ju’s mouth changed.

This time it was a voice closer to a man’s.

“Yu Seong-woo, your martial prowess is nothing short of fantastic. It is hard to believe that it was achieved with a human body.”

“What again… never mind.”

“This humble one has also built a world as a military commander (武將) [bujang, a military general]. However, that is a world completed after being recognized for the status of a military commander and ascending to the divine throne… a realm that could not be achieved with a mortal body.”

Listening to the story, it seems that he was a famous general in the past.

There are countless military commanders recorded in Korean history, but if there is anyone among them who deserves to ascend to the divine throne…….

‘I still don’t know. There are too many to count…….’

Besides, I’ve forgotten most of Korean history, so how would I know?

Anyway, Yu Seong-woo waved his hand.

It meant to go away if you’re just going to give pointless compliments.

“Yu Seong-woo, be careful. Everyone is watching you. Not only the Seongsinjeon (星神殿) [Star God Hall] of the Korean Peninsula, but also everyone in Wa (倭, Japan) and across the sea is watching you.”

“Seongsinjeon?”

“A gathering place for divine thrones. In the language of the mortal realm, it would be like a guild.”

‘Is it a guild of gods?’

He laughed in disbelief, and the unknown military commander continued.

“The distance between Seongsinjeon and the mortal realm is getting closer. If this situation continues, the divine thrones of Seongsinjeon will surely attempt to make contact. In any direction. This humble one hopes that you will become stronger and become a being who is not swayed by them. One way or another, we were born and raised on the same Korean Peninsula.”

Yu Seong-woo was slightly taken aback by the favor sent by the unknown military commander.

He also learned new things about Seongsinjeon and so on…….

“…Thank you for your kind words.”

“No. It was a pleasure to talk with an excellent swordsman like you after a long time. This humble one is already missing the time when we will talk again.”

He was a much better god than the god who came out at first.

As the story ended, the wind blew again, and the servants next to Kim Yun-ju disappeared into the wind.

Whether the possession was released, Kim Yun-ju’s pupils, which had been blurry, returned to normal, and she collapsed on the spot.

She took a few breaths in that state and then opened her mouth.

“…Maintaining the possessed state for a long time is still difficult. Have you been well, Yu Seong-woo-nim?”

“The name is……”

“I am Kim Yun-ju of the Osaek Mudang Association. I am also called Cheonun Seonnyeo.”

“Yes, that was the name. So, is the situation settled?”

“Yes. As you expected, the divine power of another world intervened in the mortal realm to an excessive degree, pouring out more karma than allowed. Thanks to that, the divine thrones of the Seongsinjeon of the Korean Peninsula suppressed the divine power of the other world. The black hole will soon be closed……”

Kim Yun-ju, who was muttering, trailed off. Yu Seong-woo frowned at her hesitant to say something.

But that was only for a moment.

She opened her mouth.

“The Seongsinjeon of the Korean Peninsula has recognized Yu Seong-woo-nim as Hyeonhyeoninsin (現顯人神, Manifest God) [a god manifested in human form]. Your position in Seongsinjeon is Sosinjwa (小神座, Minor Divine Seat) [a minor seat among the gods], and you have obtained the qualification to participate in the Seongsinjeon banquet. This is Kim Yun-ju, the representative of the Seongsinjeon of the Korean Peninsula, conveying the will of Sangje (上帝, Supreme Deity) [the highest god], the highest god of the Seongsinjeon of the Korean Peninsula.”

“…What the hell is that?”

When Yu Seong-woo frowned and asked back, the answer came from Jeanne, not Kim Yun-ju.

She grabbed Yu Seong-woo’s collar and shook it slightly, saying.

“I, it can’t be. That means you have attained the status of a god with a human body. The gods have recognized you as equal to them!”

“I don’t feel so good.”

“Even though you should be happy?!”

“If you were me, would you feel good if a stranger recognized you? Not everything is good when you are recognized.”

It would be the greatest happiness for Jeanne, who has devoted her whole life to religion, but not for Yu Seong-woo.

For a being whose face he doesn’t even know to say, ‘I will acknowledge you,’ clearly means that they are looking down on him.

So, it is no different from telling him to obediently lower his tail.

‘I will acknowledge you, so come under us…….’

He had been subjected to this kind of political maneuvering once or twice, so he could quickly grasp what they were thinking.

‘Gods or humans…….’

They are the same guys.

The only difference is whether they have power or not.

Yu Seong-woo, who took a long breath, looked at Kim Yun-ju, who was now politely sitting upright.

The moment Yu Seong-woo was recognized as a Sosinjwa by the Seongsinjeon of the Korean Peninsula, he was no different from a god whom Kim Yun-ju had to serve.

However, Yu Seong-woo was not very interested in becoming a Sosinjwa or anything like that.

Rather, his interest in Seongsinjeon deepened.

He had been aware of its existence since the past, but this was the first time he had come into contact with concrete information.

‘Seongsinjeon, huh.’

He didn’t like it, but by achieving the status of Sosinjwa, he gained the qualification to participate in their banquet.

Beings who are busy using Earth as a playground to increase their power…….

Since he can face them directly, it seemed like it would be okay to participate at least once.

“Then I will step down now. I wish Sosinjwa, Yu Seong-woo-nim, all the best.”

At the same time as her words ended, a strong wind blew.

A different storm than before swept away the fog and hid Kim Yun-ju’s figure.

He turned his head and checked the place where the Abyss had been, and the pillar of starlight had disappeared, and the Abyss had also disappeared without a trace.

“It’s over.”

He came to the guild training at Hong Seo-hwa’s call, and he cut down a god and was even invited to a banquet of gods.

He let out a long sigh and lay down on the spot.

Batory, who had been hiding behind his back, was crushed as it was.

“Ugh, ugh, I, I’m going to die!”

“Consider it a punishment since you didn’t do anything this time.”

“I didn’t do anything?! I also cast magic, didn’t I? I also did calculations……”

“In the end, you couldn’t match the time, so the barrier construction failed, right?”

“Jeanne, whose side are you on?!”

Jeanne chuckled at her cry and collapsed.

She also lost strength in her whole body after the situation was over.

The armor that had been covering her whole body was also returned to the form of a robe because it was heavy, and she put down the holy spear she had been holding tightly.

And not long after.

“Master! Are you okay!”

“Oppa─!!”

The figures of divers rushing in from afar came into view.

The divers who had rushed in after receiving the call sent to the external mages.

But they were one step late.

The situation had already ended.

Yu Seong-woo, who had been lying down with Batory still crushed underneath him for a while, got up.

Batory, who barely crawled out of Yu Seong-woo’s back like a bug, let out a sigh of relief.

‘I almost died by being crushed under his back as the last moment of my vampire life…….’

Yu Seong-woo, who got up from his seat, said to Baek Woo-hyeon, Yu Ji-woo, Hong Seo-hwa, and Choi A-yeon, who had come right in front of him.

Schuel didn’t even come.

“Why are you so late? If I called you, you should have flown over right away. You’ve been resting in China, and your discipline has completely gone out the window.”
