Swordmaster Wants to Live in Peace 257

The Remains (13)

I relentlessly cut down the rushing enemies, a never-ending surge.

The sheer number of them filled my vision.

No matter where I looked, a full 360 degrees, it was nothing but monsters.

“It wasn’t this many when Maximum deployed his unique world.”

“Maybe they bred in the meantime!”

As Yoosungwoo muttered, Bathory unleashed her magic.

A wave of blood surged around her, pushing back the monsters.

Then, Yoosungwoo slashed at the faltering monsters, and Schuaanell blasted them with magic.

“At this rate, there’s no end… We need to break through towards where the Remains are. It’s not far.”

Yoosungwoo switched his Ilsaeng [his signature sword] in his hand to Samjung [another sword].

Using the Six-Point Formation [a powerful sword technique] on these guys would be like using a butcher knife to catch a chicken – overkill.

He ignited the flames of Samjung, scattering green flames in all directions.

“Let’s go.”

Once horizontally, once vertically with Samjung. The cross-shaped sword strike split the wave of monsters.

At the same time, Bathory’s blood magic created a circular passage, clearing a path.

Schuaanell created a storm with magic, blasting the three of them into the passage.

“I can’t maintain it for long!”

Cracks slowly began to form in the passage created by Bathory’s blood magic.

“Schuaanell, faster!”

“This is already the maximum speed!”

Yoosungwoo frowned deeply, taking a deep breath.

He could feel the compass trembling in his pocket, indicating that they were getting closer to the Remains.

“Haa!”

He put down Samjung and threw Bathory and Schuaanell forward with both hands first, then gripped the sword hilt again.

He swung the sword mightily, adding the flames of Samjung to the storm created by Schuaanell.

The completed giant pillar of green fire burst out in all directions, dyeing the imaginary dimension entirely green.

The monsters transferred the flames on their bodies to other monsters, disappearing into ashes.

“Schuaanell!”

Yoosungwoo shouted and reached out towards where he had sent her flying, and a tree root flew from afar and wrapped around his wrist.

Then, it pulled him up with force.

He could finally breathe a sigh of relief when he reached where Bathory and Schuaanell were.

Thanks to being quite far from Maximum’s remains, there weren’t as many monsters.

“The Remains…”

Yoosungwoo took the compass out of his pocket and checked the direction.

The compass needle was trembling tremendously.

It truly meant that the Saint’s Remains were nearby.

As he looked around, Schuaanell pointed in one direction and said.

“Sungwoo Sungwoo, isn’t that it?”

Following her finger, he shifted his gaze and discovered a corpse floating in the imaginary dimension.

The corpse of Sharon Collie, the Empire Tower Lord, surrounded by a golden, round barrier, drifting through the imaginary dimension.

It was what they were looking for.

They immediately moved towards Sharon’s corpse.

“This must be a barrier created by the Remains.”

Yoosungwoo tapped the golden sphere with his hand.

The barrier created by the Saint’s Remains was sturdy.

As if not letting them recover it easily, it remained unmoving with a solid barrier deployed.

“I’ll release it right away, so please wait a moment.”

“It’s okay.”

Yoosungwoo shook his head at Bathory’s words and took out Ilsaeng, piercing through the barrier.

After all, the barrier wasn’t deployed directly by the Saint, but by the Saint’s Remains.

Breaking the barrier wasn’t that difficult.

Yoosungwoo split the barrier as if cutting tofu, reached out his hand, and grabbed Sharon’s corpse.

Perhaps because of the barrier, or perhaps because of the nature of the imaginary dimension, it hadn’t decayed much.

“Is it here.”

He rummaged through Sharon’s chest and took out a small box.

A small box that could hold a ring.

It had a magical seal, but Yoosungwoo easily cut it off with the aura wrapped around his finger and opened the box.

Inside, as Mackenzie had told him, there was a tooth.

“This is…”

The Saint’s Remains.

The molar of Jesus, the son of God who led countless people in the past and performed many miracles.

‘In terms of being the son of God, Jesus and Gun-myeonje [likely a character or figure from the story’s world] are the same.’

Yoosungwoo took the tooth out of the box and handed it to Bathory.

“There’s definitely a spell inscribed on it. Remove it.”

“Yes, yes.”

Bathory quickly removed the tracking spell inscribed on the tooth.

A fairly complex spell was inscribed, but it was just inscribed by a mage from the Magic Tower.

Compared to the level of the Great Mage Bathory, it was a very low-level spell, so dismantling it didn’t take long.

And as a bonus, a copy as well.

“Dismantling complete!”

Bathory returned the tooth with the spell removed to Yoosungwoo, and he stared at the tooth before stuffing it into his pocket.

The copied tooth was put back in the box and returned to its original place.

Now, all that was left was to take this away safely without getting caught.

“It’s a bit much to just take it, so I should take this with me.”

Muttering so, Yoosungwoo pulled Sharon’s corpse and tucked it into his waist.

“Sungwoo Sungwoo, they’re coming again.”

And just as they were about to start preparing to return, monsters began to swarm in again from afar.

Monsters rushing in like waves, stealing the color of the imaginary dimension.

“Let’s go back quickly.”

There was something he had received from Mackenzie for the return.

Yoosungwoo took out a crystal from his chest and broke it as it was.

Then, the spell contained in the crystal unfolded, and a blue door appeared in front of them.

They immediately threw themselves into the door, and soon the monsters covered the place where the door had been.

***

“You’re back! I’ve been waiting!”

Mackenzie, who had been waiting, beamed when he saw Sharon’s corpse held at Yoosungwoo’s waist.

It was a bit strange to be happy to see a corpse, but he never thought he would be able to recover Sharon’s corpse.

“This is what you wanted.”

Yoosungwoo placed Sharon’s corpse in front of Mackenzie.

Mackenzie examined Sharon’s corpse and took out a box from his chest.

The box that contained the Saint’s Remains.

Inside was a fake, copied by Bathory, not the real thing.

The magic spell attached to the box was also perfectly restored by her.

Mackenzie immediately released the seal on the box and took out Jesus’ tooth (fake) from inside.

“……?”

Mackenzie quickly realized that the condition of the tooth was strange.

It was natural.

The fake tooth did not contain divinity.

“What happened…….”

He looked at Yoosungwoo with a look as if asking if he knew anything.

He had already thought about this.

“As expected, the divinity of the Remains has been depleted.”

“…Can you tell me why it was depleted?”

“When we found the corpse in the imaginary dimension, it was surrounded by a barrier. The monsters of the imaginary dimension were covering it.”

Yoosungwoo explained simply.

The barrier was a magic that constantly consumed divinity, so it seemed that the divinity of the Remains was depleted by the monsters’ attacks.

Of course, the real thing wouldn’t even show signs of consumption to that extent.

Who would know that?

Yoosungwoo said shamelessly without changing his expression.

“It was difficult for us to break through the monsters’ offensive. Since they were that strong, the rate of divinity consumption would have been fast.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes. But as the Saint’s Remains, it will be able to recover its divinity over time. Even if the Protestant Church has collapsed, there are still believers left.”

Mackenzie nodded.

The divinity of the Saint’s Remains was depleted, so there might be some setbacks in the future.

But if the divinity is restored, it wouldn’t be a big loss.

“…This is the reward I promised.”

Mackenzie put the box in his chest and had people bring a large chest.

The reward he promised Yoosungwoo was an artifact from the Empire Magic Tower.

When the chest was opened, several lights poured out from inside.

The difficulty of the work entrusted by the Empire Tower was considerable, so a corresponding reward was given.

“Is there anything useful?”

Schuaanell and Bathory quickly examined the chest.

It was full of high-end artifacts at first glance.

That meant that the value of the Saint’s Remains was enormous.

“Not bad. I hope you come again if there’s anything similar in the future.”

Yoosungwoo closed the lid of the chest and carried it on his shoulder.

He lightly lifted the chest, which weighed hundreds of kilograms, and gave a look to the two on either side.

It meant to run away quickly.

The two, who quickly understood his intentions, immediately turned around and headed outside.

Yoosungwoo walked behind them, glancing at Mackenzie who was seeing them off, and spat out.

“The Tower Lord’s work is a pity. No one knew that another Tower Lord would betray him there.”

“…Thank you. Still, since Yoosungwoo has finished his revenge, he must have returned to the embrace of mana in peace.”

“I hope so.”

***

Yoosungwoo and his party returned to Korea from the United States after a long time.

Choi Ayen and her party also gained something from the Abyss in the United States.

The Abyss they attacked was also a place where they could get decent rewards, like Yoosungwoo’s ‘Tomb of the Warrior.’

“It feels like I’m going home after a long time.”

“It’s true that it’s been a long time.”

The returning plane was a private jet provided by the Empire Tower.

Yoosungwoo turned his head and scanned the people sitting in the back seat.

Most of them were tattered and not normal.

This was because after Yoosungwoo returned from the imaginary dimension, he gathered everyone and worked them hard.

Everyone gained decent items or improved their abilities on this American expedition.

They trained hard until the day they left the United States to perfect the use of the artifacts and the powers they had gained.

In the Tomb of the Warrior, which was under restoration and could not be entered in the United States.

Filey kept yelling at them to stop destroying the tomb under restoration.

It was enough to ignore the words of the wraith.

“This time, the harvest is great.”

He made a fortune in the Tomb of the Warrior… The biggest harvest was still.

The Saint’s Remains.

Jesus’ tooth in Yoosungwoo’s pocket was a treasure that was hard to exchange for even a thousand gold.

If he brought it to Hetris, he would be happy and do a somersault.

He might not only do a somersault but also bark like a dog.

‘I’m a little curious if he’ll really bark…….’

Anyway.

Yoosungwoo slowly organized the information in his chaotic head.

He gained a lot from the American expedition, but there were also many things that made his head dizzy.

Above all, the meeting with Persephone.

Even the deity of Greek mythology met him directly and tried to recruit him.

There would be more of this in the future.

Not only that, but it would also affect others.

The time to decide is approaching.

They must build a force without entering their Holy Church.

“It’s difficult, it’s difficult…….”

If he was a little stronger.

If he was strong enough to overwhelm one Holy Church, he wouldn’t have to worry about this.

As he thought about that and laid the chair back.

“Ha, they don’t let me rest.”

At the same time as he got up from the chair, a large lightning bolt, along with a small figure, fell towards the plane flying towards Korea.
