Swordmaster Wants to Live Peacefully 242
Tower Lord Meeting (8)
Sharon couldn’t believe it.
The blade protruding from her chest pierced her heart, leading to her death.
Her consciousness slowly faded, and her body slumped to the floor.
Life was extinguished in an instant.
As Sharon’s body fell, David, the Tower Lord, Garrot Simon, also collapsed, a blade through his heart.
The ones who plunged the knives into their hearts were their own companions.
Those who had escaped Bertrand’s magic and were trusted enough to be brought to the Tower Lord meeting had betrayed them, thrusting sharp blades into their masters’ hearts.
“You traitorous bastards!”
Nagi shouted and unleashed her magic.
She scattered charms in all directions and poured out electricity, but a large barrier blocked her magic.
It was Salome Twein, the Tower Lord of Pisa, who blocked the magic.
Salome formed a hand seal and levitated a sword made of magical power in the air.
Then, she said in a low voice.
“Just give up, everyone. You won’t be able to escape this world.”
“Salome! Why you……!”
Those who had been companions of the Tower Lords gathered beside Salome.
The number was six in total, including Salome.
Salome filled the surroundings with her swords and raised the corners of her mouth.
“It’s a shame we couldn’t kill them all with a surprise attack… but the living body of a Great Mage will be good material, so it can’t be helped.”
“You goddamn bitch!”
Ahuja, who had recovered some of his magical power, hurled lightning at Salome.
Salome erected a barrier of swords to block the lightning and sent the swords towards him.
The swords that flew like arrows were blocked by the shield Medea had erected and bounced off.
A swift exchange unfolded.
“Salome! You’re the one who should give up! No matter how strong you are, you won’t be able to stop us with just those people!”
They still had the numerical advantage.
Two of Sharon’s companions, one of Nagi’s companions.
Except for one of Salome’s companions who had died, and one other person.
And one of Ahuja’s companions had sided with the Ascendant Church, so they were still far superior in number.
Even though two Tower Lords had died, there were still five left.
The Holy Heavenly Hound had also stopped searching for a way out and joined the battle, so their chances of winning were slim.
“Is that so? I think you’re the one who hasn’t grasped the situation yet…….”
Salome smiled and moved her fingers, and the clowns and monsters that had been lurking around began to gather.
The bizarre monsters from the first floor also crawled up and surrounded them.
“Now, do you have a better understanding of the situation? Which side is at a disadvantage now…….”
As Salome said that, she formed a hand seal again and stirred up her magical power, and the swords floating in the air began to rain down.
A number that could not be ignored.
The Tower Lords each raised their magical power and created shields, but Salome’s swords occasionally tore through the shields and threatened them.
“A crazy bitch who sold her soul to the devil……!”
As Ahuja muttered, Salome nodded and replied.
“That’s right! I can do anything for magic! Aren’t you the same? If you saw His magic, you’d sell your soul and everything else!”
“Bullshit!”
“Only you would do such a thing! A Tower Lord acting so foolishly!”
The Tower Lords protested at Salome’s words. It was a rebellion against the idea that they were at least not as crazy as her.
Salome sighed as if she didn’t understand their words and continued.
“You’re saying that because you’ve never seen it. Because you’re the ones who haven’t experienced the ultimate of magic!”
“The ultimate of magic? That’s a bit curious. I wonder what the ultimate of magic means.”
Medea took out a dagger with interest.
Then, the companions standing on either side of her also took out daggers and, together with her, cut their palms.
“But it doesn’t seem like it’s the time to look at such things now.”
Three mages performing a curse ritual for only one goal.
As Salome said, they would only be surrounded and have their strength eaten away in this state.
Therefore, they had to escape this place to find a way out.
Curse Ritual
Circular Hellhole (圓形獄穴) [Originally, a curse to create a round hole in a person’s body, now used to create an escape route].
Originally, it was a curse that would create a round hole in a person’s body, but now it was used in a different way.
By making a large hole in the ground where they were standing.
A hole that swallowed them, centered on Medea, appeared in an instant.
“Then goodbye~”
Medea waved her hand at Salome and fell into the hole.
Along with everyone else.
Salome stared at Medea with a dumbfounded expression and shouted.
“Chase them! Chase them and kill them!”

“The pattern seems too weak. If you only use the same pattern of material, the show will get boring quickly.”
Yoosungwoo yawned widely and placed Ilsaeng [his sword] on his shoulder.
Around him were numerous corpses of clowns and giant hands scattered.
Evidence that the things Maximum used to kill Yoosungwoo were completely ineffective.
“And over there, hmm, it’s going well as planned.”
The Tower Lords dying was a bit unexpected…….
But it wasn’t particularly regrettable.
Perhaps because they were the ones who had approved of his death.
“You didn’t think you could kill me with just this, did you? You clown bastard.”
Yoosungwoo sat on the large hand lying on the floor.
Then, he stabbed Ilsaeng into the clown’s hand and stared at Maximum.
“So, do something more interesting. Don’t try to end it like this.”
Maximum dripped cold sweat with a distorted face.
He had unfolded his Unique World [a personal reality warping ability] and mobilized everything he could.
However, Yoosungwoo simply cut through any attack with his sword.
As if it was nothing, with a calm face.
Maximum repeatedly formed hand seals and drew up his magical power.
After unfolding his Unique World, the magical power surging from him unfolds a new technique.
A giant carousel popped out in the sky, and soon dozens of clowns riding on the carousel charged towards Yoosungwoo, controlling the horses.
The clowns with various weapons in their hands rushed in at a terrifying speed.
“Hmph.”
Yoosungwoo does not avoid them and receives them head-on.
He wields Ilsaeng and cuts down all the rushing guys in the blink of an eye.
As the rushing clowns and carousels were cut into pieces and fell to the floor, Maximum formed a new hand seal.
Then, numerous hands surged from the floor. The hands of clowns flailing to grab him.
Yoosungwoo also tore them all apart by stomping his feet.
“You must have a hidden card. Show it to me. If you want to beat me.”
And again, Yoosungwoo’s provocation comes in.
Maximum couldn’t believe it.
How can that man move so freely in the world he has unfolded?
A Unique World is truly a world completed for only one person.
It was natural that others could not move their bodies properly due to the pressure when they stepped in.
However, Yoosungwoo wielded his sword, cut down everything, and revealed his presence.
“If not… I’ll go over there.”
Yoosungwoo took a stance.
He holds Ilsaeng in his right hand and takes a sword-drawing stance.
The next moment, the light of Ilsaeng flashes and dyes the field of vision all red.
Ilsaeng(一生) [His sword’s name, meaning “One Life”]
Sword Drawing(拔劍) – Heavenly Killing Wheel(天殺輪) [A powerful sword technique].
The moment the sword is drawn, a circular sword energy that traverses the world is emitted, cutting down everything that blocks the front.
Maximum formed a hand seal and piled up a wall of corpses in front of him, but it collapsed helplessly.
And soon Maximum’s body was also cut in half.
Before he could regenerate completely, Yoosungwoo, who had approached, grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up.
“Your regeneration is good. Is this also some kind of authority [a unique power or skill]?”
Even with the power of Ilsaeng, he can’t stop the regeneration.
The speed seems slow, though…….
If he had granted regeneration comparable to his own power, it might have been the power of the Ascendant Church Lord that he was crying out for so much.
“Is this all you had to kill me? It’s not even funny.”
“…….”
Maximum looked at Yoosungwoo, blood dripping from his mouth, unable to maintain even a smiling face.
Yoosungwoo examined such Maximum and opened his mouth.
“You’re not from Earth. Your skeleton is subtly different from that of Earthlings, and your magic circuit is also a form that cannot be seen in Earthlings. Where are you from?”
“…What do you need to know that for?”
“Well, I’m not going to use it anywhere… The Ascendant Church Lord can travel through multiple dimensions after all. Is that how he’s recruiting such strange guys?”
Maximum swung a dagger with his arm that had been regenerated in a surprise attack, but Yoosungwoo blocked it with his aura-clad fingers.
Maximum chuckled and muttered when even the surprise attack was blocked.
“Monster…….”
“I’m tired of hearing it so much.”
Just as Yoosungwoo raised his sword to end it, intense magical power suddenly began to pour out of Maximum.
At that moment, Maximum shouted with a face full of joy.
“…He, He believes in me! Your luck ends here! Yoosungwoo!”
Yoosungwoo slammed the guy who was bursting with tremendous magical power into the ground, but the amplification of magical power did not stop.
As Yoosungwoo stepped back, Maximum, who had risen from the floor, laughed lightly and raised his head.
“Kuhuhu, hehehe…….”
Maximum, who had finished regenerating his body even faster, spread his hands and stretched them up and down.
“If three aren’t enough… then one!”
And slowly reduces the gap.
Then, the three-layered Unique Worlds that make up his mind are gradually crushed as if pressed by a hydraulic press.
As if compressing the volume by pressing a donut from top to bottom, Maximum was also compressing the three layers.
Yoosungwoo frowned and raised his aura at the tremendous pressure.
“You’re doing something interesting.”
Yes, it had to be this much to be worth doing.
He was going to get back the value he had been waiting for until now.
“It’s almost complete!”
Maximum shouted and clapped his hands together.
The moment his palms touched, the world made up of three layers transforms into one.
The scenery is inserted here and there, and mixed strangely.
The world is completely distorted as if mixing things that should not be mixed.
The sight of the world where the three layers were forcibly combined made him feel uncomfortable just by seeing it.
‘…The other guys seem to have escaped well.’
I was wondering if those who went to the lower layer would be in danger due to the aftermath of the three overlapping layers.
Fortunately, they seemed to have escaped somehow. Seeing the traitors walking in without any gain.
Maximum shouted at them.
“You’re really incompetent! How can you get into His eyes like that?”
“I’m sorry. Bishop Maximum.”
Salome Twein, the Tower Lord of Pisa, bowed deeply to Maximum.
In her hands were the two dead Tower Lords.
“Still, I brought two bodies of Great Mages. Use them as sacrifices to kill that guy.”
“That’s good. But that’s not necessary. Because He has already… given me strength!”
Maximum shouted and completed his new world.
The world completed by combining the three layers into one is the ideal world of clowns.
A world based on a terrible image full of corpses and monsters.
At first glance, it takes the form of an amusement park, but the framework of the rides is made of human bones and flesh.
Revealing the disgusting true appearance where all kinds of things are mixed.
Unique World
Chaotic Playful Elephant Asylum(混沌遊狂象所) [A twisted amusement park world filled with horrors].
