Swordmaster Wants to Live Peacefully 238

Tower Lord Meeting (4)

“Oh, I’ve been separated.”

Sungcheon-gyeon looked around and realized that he was alone.

The clown had definitely done something.

“And this is…”

It was a burning city.

The only burning city Sungcheon-gyeon remembered was from one event.

The Great Disaster of 10 years ago, when numerous Abyss Gates opened and fireballs rained from the sky.

“Ha, haha…”

He burst into laughter.

To vividly recreate and display a scene from his memories like this…

Wiping away tears with his sleeve at Maximum’s unexpectedly crude abilities, he muttered.

“So, the system’s ability is to draw out people’s terrible memories and create illusions?”

It wasn’t just the environment being replicated.

Even the monsters that crawled out of the Abyss during the Great Disaster, wandering around and tearing people apart like insects, were moving before his eyes.

Sungcheon-gyeon took a deep breath as he looked at the monsters.

“…Interesting, but aren’t you underestimating the Archmage too much?”

He was young back then, but not now.

Clearly, what Maximum wanted was, as he said, a ‘fun show.’

He must want to see him struggling and suffering in his childhood trauma.

However, Sungcheon-gyeon did not use magic to tear the monsters apart.

He simply closed his eyes and looked for a way to escape this situation.

If this was all an illusion created by Maximum’s power, then the illusion could also be broken.

Or, he could find the right path forward.

‘There is no such thing as a perfect illusion.’

Especially if it was an illusion relying on the other person’s memory.

Moreover, Sungcheon-gyeon’s specialty was illusion and spatial magic.

He slowly formed a hand seal with his eyes closed.

“It’s time to unveil the completed new magic system for the first time…”

As he muttered quietly, the illusion slowly began to collapse.

***

“It would be a lie to say I’m not curious about an accomplice other than Maximum.”

Yuseong-u nodded.

His goal was the same as Sungcheon-gyeon’s.

To expel the Ascension Church hiding within the Magic Tower.

Therefore, he couldn’t help but be interested in Medea’s question.

Medea smiled slightly at his answer and said.

“When terror warnings about the Tower Lord Meeting were sent to each Magic Tower, I started investigating separately. As Bertrand said, the place where the Tower Lord Meeting was held is a special location within a virtual dimension.”

Without a pass, you couldn’t enter or leave.

It was nearly impossible for Maximum to find the coordinates and attack within the infinite dimensions.

Even though Bertrand changed the coordinates once, Maximum still chased after them.

That meant…

“Either Maximum has a pass, or someone is constantly transmitting the coordinates.”

“Who can issue a pass?”

“Only Bertrand can issue passes. Only he can fix the horizontal coordinates in the virtual dimension through spatial magic.”

“When I observed, there was no sign of any of the Tower Lords transmitting coordinates. I think it’s right to assume that it’s either a pass issued by Bertrand, or someone copied and handed over the pass.”

Medea nodded as if agreeing with his words.

Yuseong-u asked.

“It’s also possible that several Tower Lords have joined hands with the Ascension Church.”

“That’s right. I estimate at least two people; otherwise, this wouldn’t have been possible.”

“Then where is the proof that you are not one of those two?”

“It’s a little difficult to ask me that…”

“Just kidding.”

Medea had a lot on her shoulders.

She probably knew her own strength and that she rose to the position of So-sinjwa [Vice Leader] through Jeanne’s influence.

And she understood the implications of making herself an enemy.

“Then let’s start by getting out of here first. Do you have any ideas as a magician?”

“It looks like a high-level illusion barrier. It’s a small space based on memories, so… you can either use a large physical impact or release the barrier from the inside.”

“I see…”

Yuseong-u drew his life’s work, his sword.

Baekmok Forest [White Tree Forest].

It wasn’t a good memory, so he didn’t hesitate.

Rather, he was grateful to Maximum for giving him the opportunity to cut out his past memories himself.

“Hoo…”

He took a long breath, lowered his stance, and gathered his aura.

Compressing the aura contained in the sword to the limit.

Harmonizing it with divine power to form a blood-colored sword energy that could cut anything just by touching it.

“Huu.”

He took a short breath and stretched out the hand holding the sword.

With it, a beautiful sword energy of red light burst out brilliantly.

The red light, unleashed with the momentum to divide the world, completely obscured the view and destroyed the Baekmok Forest.

One Sword – Sky Dividing Horizontal

The extended sword energy shattered the world constructed by Maximum and returned everything to nothing.

As he pulled the sword back to his side and exhaled, the two faced a different landscape.

“It’s a virtual space. It seems like we’ve escaped from the clown’s stage, but we need a spatial magician to get back there from here…”

“That’s a problem. I can’t use magic, so you have to do it?”

“That’s a bit… I’m weak in spatial magic. I’m good at curses…”

“Then we have no choice but to wait for someone to come and rescue us. Is it impossible to use spatial magic with a pass?”

“I tried it earlier, but… the pass is not working.”

They really had no choice but to wait for someone to rescue them.

After some time, Yuseong-u opened his mouth.

“So, are your companions witches too?”

“One child is a witch, and one child is a magician. I’m also in charge of the Magic Tower for now.”

“I see. You don’t seem too worried.”

“I didn’t raise those children weakly. Well, if they get caught in something like this… that’s it for them. And I’ve already taken out insurance.”

Yuseong-u was convinced by her words. They were also diligently preparing to face the approaching disaster.

It was a good attitude.

As they were talking for a while, there was one being who interrupted their conversation.

“You’re so relaxed! So relaxed!”

It wasn’t Maximum’s voice.

If his voice was that of a young man, this time it was the voice of a high-pitched girl.

When they turned their heads towards the sound, there was a girl wearing the same clown makeup as Maximum.

“I’m Minimum! I’m Minimum! A judge who came to kill you who are sitting and chatting so peacefully!”

“Maximum and Minimum. Then there must be a Medium too.”

“How did you know?! Amazing! Amazing!”

“How can the Ascension Church sustain itself with only these idiots?”

Yuseong-u asked Medea after hearing Minimum’s words.

She just shook her head with a pitiful expression.

“Minimum is not an idiot! Not an idiot! I hate you!”

Minimum, who was screaming, bounced up and down in place, and then clapped her hands.

Then, another world unfolded around her.

True to her words as a judge who came to hunt down those who escaped from Maximum’s world, the amount of magic emanating from her, unlike her young appearance, was terrifying.

A unique world that covered the entire virtual dimension with her magic.

Yuseong-u quietly watched the scene and held his life’s work in his hand.

“Where do these guys all come from…”

Maximum and Minimum.

Both were different from the bishops of the Ascension Church he had met so far.

They revealed themselves as the Ascension Church, and the atmosphere was so lighthearted.

Or, is it that you have to be this crazy to be accepted into the Ascension Church?

“Minimum Art Deployment!”

As Minimum spread out her hands, a new horizon unfolded in their vision.

A blood-colored moon that soared high and an eerie amusement park that played bizarre music below it.

The blood-colored moon was grinning grotesquely. A bizarre landscape that seemed to come straight out of a cartoon filled the view.

Unique World

Amusement Park Mad Moon Night Castle

Yuseong-u and Medea frowned at the scenery of the unique world that unfolded without any fanfare.

It was an amusement park scene that was not pleasant, even as a compliment.

Minimum seemed to like their reaction, jumping up and down and waving at them.

“Die! Die!”

With her murderous cry, deformed monsters ran out of the amusement park.

Monsters that resembled humans but deviated from humans, running with their arms on the ground because they had no legs, rushed in bizarre shapes.

This was Minimum’s unique world.

It made one wonder what kind of image they had in their hearts for such a sight to pop out.

Ordinary people would have been overwhelmed by the sight and eaten by those guys without being able to do anything.

However.

“How pathetic.”

The monsters that were running were annihilated the moment Yuseong-u drew his sword.

“What?! What?! What did you do!”

Minimum did not understand the situation that unfolded in front of her eyes in an instant and summoned the monsters again.

An even greater number of monsters than before rushed towards him, but the moment Yuseong-u swung his sword, they were all cut in half and disappeared.

“You know how to unfold a unique world, but its density is too shallow. …In the end, that’s it; all you can do is this.”

Yuseong-u muttered and said with a glint in his eyes.

“You’re not a bishop-level, are you? Yeah, there’s no way a bishop-level would be walking around this easily.”

He has killed several bishops of the Ascension Church, so he can be even more sure.

The Minimum in front of him is not capable of becoming a bishop-level.

The scale of the unique world he is unfolding now is also like that…

‘Maximum must have led the work. That guy is a bishop-level.’

Then, there was nothing to hear from Minimum.

The moment Yuseong-u, who thought so, strongly grabbed his life’s work, Medea stepped forward.

“I would like to show you my skills for a moment; would that be okay?”

Yuseong-u, who was about to cut down Minimum along with the unique world, nodded.

He couldn’t miss the good opportunity to see the skills of the Witch Society’s President.

“I won’t give in this time.”

“Thank you.”

Yuseong-u stepped back, and Medea stepped forward.

With it, the magic overflowing from her raged violently, as if to devour the surrounding space.

Batory and Jeanne said that the President had never changed since she joined the Witch Society…

A monster of the Witch Society who has lived for hundreds, maybe even thousands of years.

She took out a small dagger from her bosom, cut her palm, and began to chant a spell while dripping blood.

The manifestation of a technique achieved through the arrangement of words that cannot be understood and the medium of blood.

The magic that had spread out according to her incantation was rearranged and gradually completed the technique.

“What, what are you doing! What are you doing! Eek!”

Feeling threatened by Medea’s technique, Minimum, who had been momentarily out of her mind, charged directly.

She picked up the corpses of monsters and shaped them into a huge scythe, and then rushed in with a strong spin.

A sound that tears the eardrums.

The scythe that rushed through the air aimed for Medea’s neck, but Minimum’s scythe stopped near her neck.

Medea smiled as she gently pushed the scythe away with her finger.

Unique Technique – Curse

World Change – Original Curse

“Now… how long can you endure…”
