Swordmaster Wants to Live Peacefully Episode 289

Takehayasusanoonomikoto (8)

Susano-o was confident in his power.

The sea and storms are immense forces of nature.

Humans have worshiped nature, which they cannot overcome with their own strength, and Susano-o was no different.

Humans cannot surpass nature, nor gods.

Yet, the human before him throws himself at a god without a moment’s hesitation.

Wielding and thrusting the sword in his hand like a fang, he confronts nature.

Dragon Fang Piercing Sea Strike

Yu Seong-woo unleashes a red storm.

The vortex swirling around the sword draws a straight line in the void, cleaving the world.

Huge holes appear repeatedly in the towering waves raised by Susano-o.

Dragon Fang Piercing Consecutive Strikes

Dragon Fang Piercing Sea Strikes pour out in succession. Normally, it would be a technique he could only use a few times.

But not now.

Having ascended to Takamagahara [the High Celestial Plain, a divine realm in Shinto mythology], absorbed the divinities of the gods, and even digested the divinity of Yamata no Orochi [an eight-headed serpent in Japanese mythology].

His body and divinity are now capable of handling it without strain, no matter how many times he uses it in succession.

Several large holes appear in the sea, and seawater rushes into the emptied spaces, creating whirlpools.

“Is that all you’ve got?”

Yu Seong-woo plunges the May Rain in his hand once more toward Susano-o.

Susano-o tried to reach out his arm, but his right arm, which had been blown away by a moment’s carelessness, did not move.

“This bastard!”

He didn’t even give him time to recover his right arm, so he had no choice but to hastily extend his left hand.

But it was the same this time as well.

He couldn’t block Yu Seong-woo’s fierce sword with a clumsy posture, and Susano-o’s arm bent in the wrong direction, with bone piercing through flesh.

Furthermore, the tip of May Rain tore away a chunk of Susano-o’s side.

“Kuaaaaaaack!”

“Focus. Not yet, not yet.”

Susano-o emanates divinity.

After blasting Yu Seong-woo away, he quickly restores the flown blood and flesh, and grips the Ame-no-Habakiri [a divine sword] with his right hand.

Then, with his other hand, he summons a new sword.

From beneath his feet, a pillar of water shoots up from the storm in the sea, settling in his hand.

“…So you’re finally making me take this out. Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi [another name for the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi, a legendary Japanese sword].”

The swords in Susano-o’s hands.

Ame-no-Habakiri in his right hand, Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi in his left.

Holding the two swords, he looked down at Yu Seong-woo and crossed the swords.

“This sword is one I personally finished by beheading Yamata no Orochi and refining his divinity. If you’re that thing’s offspring, it should be effective enough.”

So.

“I pronounce death upon you. In the name of the sea!”

Susano-o wields the two swords simultaneously.

With a single sword strike, the sea surges, and a tsunami of a size incomparable to before crashes down.

The sky instantly darkened, and lightning struck the sea, spreading electricity in all directions.

Yu Seong-woo stood on the head of a dragon made of water, staring at the tsunami engulfing him.

‘Finally…….’

He had waited long.

For Susano-o to draw the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi. The end of the story would be meaningless otherwise.

What Yamata no Orochi desires is revenge and death towards Susano-o.

“…Hoo-eup.”

Taking a short breath, he leaps off the dragon’s head.

With tremendous leg strength, the dragon’s head shatters and scatters.

He plunges May Rain into the massive tsunami, creating a hole, and as he dives through it, Susano-o flies in from the opposite hole.

“I’ll shatter you into pieces!”

Susano-o brandished two swords and lunged at Yu Seong-woo.

The swords, each drawing a different trajectory, aimed only for Yu Seong-woo’s vitals.

He had abandoned the idea of grabbing him to hear the story; it was a sword filled only with murderous intent.

Kaga Gaga Gagang─!!

However, Yu Seong-woo blocked both swords wielded by Susano-o with one sword.

Even if it’s dual swordsmanship, if the targeted areas are limited anyway, it’s not that difficult to block.

“Heup!”

Yu Seong-woo, who had been fiercely attacking, thrust his sword.

That place was where the two swords had passed simultaneously.

Yu Seong-woo, who had fended off two swords with one move, clenched his teeth and took another step, extending his sword.

Five Swords

Genesis

May Rain stretched towards Susano-o’s head, but Susano-o narrowly avoided the sword’s trajectory.

The tip of his ear is cut off.

Susano-o, who avoided the attack, swung his sword towards Yu Seong-woo’s unguarded side.

“Nowhere to go!”

However, Yi Saeng, whom he had summoned, was already in that place.

But he couldn’t deflect it, so Susano-o blew Yu Seong-woo away along with Yi Saeng, plunging him into the waves.

Then, he manipulated the waves to create waves from all directions, trying to bury him in the depths of the sea.

After floating the swords in the air, he instantly formed several hand seals to complete the spell.

Fierce Wave Azure Lightning

Tearing waves crashed, and hundreds of streaks of blue lightning struck the sea.

Divine lightning imbued with divinity covers the world.

Krrrrrrrr─

A huge whirlpool appeared in the sea.

Susano-o overlapped the two swords floating in the air and dropped a lightning bolt like a blade in the center of the whirlpool.

Not only that, but he continuously dropped dozens of lightning bolts.

“Dieeeeeeeee─!!”

All life in the sea dies.

The powerful current turns all living things in the sea into grilled meat, creating a sea where nothing can live.

Susano-o raised the two swords high into the sky.

Then, a storm settled on the swords.

He wields the swords, shrouding them in a storm that would split the sea and uproot even Mount Tai [a prominent mountain in Chinese culture, often used metaphorically for immense power].

“Die, I said─!!”

The storm covers the world.

The storm, tearing the sea to shreds as it advanced, was about to reveal the entire seabed.

However, the next moment.

A red light flickered in the sea.

A streak of light soared from within the flickering light.

It split the deep sea, split space, split the storm, and even split the lightning, reaching Susano-o’s front.

Yu Seong-woo, holding Yi Saeng in one hand and May Rain in the other, moved his hand, exhaling with a battered body.

One Sword, Pinnacle

Piercing Heaven Divine Crimson Strike

Five Swords, Pinnacle

Dragon Fang Severing Sea Strike

Two ultimate techniques unfolded with both hands.

The ultimate piercing stretched towards Susano-o, and Susano-o responded with his swords.

Susano-o’s hands were pushed back, and his chest was wide open.

Because his physique is twice as large as Yu Seong-woo’s, it’s like a canvas with so much space to cut.

“Kuaaaaaaaaaaaaa─!!”

Yu Seong-woo roared and drew a third sword.

Yi Saeng, May Rain, and then Samjeong.

The great sword, Samjeong, was embedded in Susano-o’s chest, and green flames erupted.

Three Swords, Pinnacle Fire

Divine Burning Purification Fire

He pours out everything he has without holding back.

This is the end of the story.

It’s one of the introduction, development, twist, and conclusion of an episode.

“Kuaaaaaaaaaa─!!”

His chest is pierced by the sword, and furthermore, flames erupt from within.

The purifying flame that burns the gods.

Yu Seong-woo didn’t stop there but plunged his sword further.

Yi Gye, Black Four, quickly embedded May Rain, and took out Yukmang, plunging it into his side.

Then, he kicked Susano-o away to create distance and took a stance.

With the beating of his heart, he spread Aura throughout his body and gathered divinity.

The powerful divinity that was Yamata no Orochi’s became one with Yu Seong-woo’s and resonated.

Yu Seong-woo, who pushed divinity into Yi Saeng, pulled the sword towards him, putting strength into his hand until the hilt shattered.

Yu Seong-woo Style Swordsmanship First Form─

He then prepares to unleash it. He heats up the Aura to a state just before explosion and slams the divinity into the meridians of his entire body to prepare for the aftershock.

The Aura and divinity contained in Yi Saeng momentarily amplified and then compressed.

Emission and convergence.

The Aura, compressed to the extreme, began to emit a brilliant light, and Yi Saeng’s blade shone even more redly, revealing its ominousness.

“Take this. The culmination of my experience.”

Ascension

Yu Seong-woo’s hand moves from bottom to top.

The speed was not fast, but it could not be stopped.

The infinite double helix drawn by the divinity and Aura as they rotate.

Yu Seong-woo forcibly made them meet at the tip of the sword, causing an artificial collision of forces.

He loaded the powerful shockwave generated there into the sword and pulled the sword from bottom to top, like launching a rocket.

Kaaaaaaaang─!!

With an ear-splitting noise, a red line soared into the sky.

A sinister red star made of high-density energy advanced diagonally from the ground to space.

Susano-o’s body in its path split apart.

From his side to his shoulder.

He was cut so deeply that the cross-section was visible, and a fountain of blood spurted out.

“Kuh, keueok…….”

A small groan, as if about to die, burst from Susano-o’s mouth, but Yu Seong-woo knew that it was not over yet.

The red blood flowing from Susano-o stopped, and then a huge wave surged from the sea and swallowed him.

The swords embedded in his body popped out from the waves and returned to Yu Seong-woo’s side.

Yu Seong-woo returned the swords and stared into the sea with empty hands.

And soon, Susano-o in a gigantic form appeared from within the sea.

Susano-o’s true form, finally revealed.

With seawater draped like clothes, he prepared for a final strike, gathering the last of his strength with swords in both hands.

-Geueoaaaaaaaaaaaaaa─!!

The last struggle of the great divinity, who had even lost human language, began.

As Susano-o raised the two swords, the entire sea in the area was sucked into the swords.

The uneven seabed was soon revealed.

Yu Seong-woo, who had landed on the bottom, looked up at the gigantic Susano-o.

Samgwija [likely a reference to Susano-o’s role], the god of storms and the sea, the god of war.

Susano-o, one of the three standing at the highest point of Takamagahara, finished preparing to wield his sword in an ugly form.

Yu Seong-woo reached out and summoned the last sword to end the conclusion.

A beautiful sword with a blade resembling the sea, forming a crude hilt with scales.

Yamata no Orochi

Eight Stars

Yu Seong-woo, gripping the hilt, shouted. To Shuten-doji [a powerful oni or demon in Japanese folklore], who might have died in the battle between the two.

“Behold! Shuten-doji! The conclusion I am tying up!”

So shouted Yu Seong-woo, looking at the giant sea sword falling towards him, and unfolded the story contained in Eight Stars.

The divinity flowing from him stopped Susano-o’s movements and constructed a new world.

The story of May Rain, which had been unfolding, ended, and the story of Eight Stars followed.

Instead of seawater, fresh water gushed out around Yu Seong-woo, unfolding eight streams of water on the sea.

The streams of water became the heads of dragons. The streams of water that became the heads of Yamata no Orochi raised their bodies, and Yu Seong-woo stood on the central head and took a stance.

“…Hoo.”

Yu Seong-woo, exhaling a short breath, extended Eight Stars towards Susano-o and finished constructing his unique world.

This is the last piece to behead Susano-o.

[Unique World]

[Sea Extinction Eight-Headed Dragon Song]
