Swordmaster Wants to Live Peacefully Episode 293

The Holy War (3)

“Ah, and before you go, give me your sword for a moment.”

Hong Seohwa readily handed over her sword at Yoo Seongwoo’s words.

Yoo Seongwoo was a bit dumbfounded at the sight of a swordsman readily handing over their sword, but…

He did what he had to do.

He grabbed the sword’s blade with his bare hand and drew it upwards, feeding his blood into the blade.

Upon receiving the blood, the blade turned even redder and trembled.

Then, it emitted an intense tremor, releasing a terrifying aura.

“I fed it my blood. Since it’s mixed with dragon blood, it will function properly from now on.”

Hong Seohwa, who received her sword back from Yoo Seongwoo, sparkled her eyes.

In the past, Yoo Seongwoo had given Hong Seohwa advice about her sword.

Because she kept pestering him to make her a new sword, he told her that the sword she had was good enough.

And that to complete that sword, it would be good to soak it in dragon blood once.

However, it was rare for Dragonkin to appear in the Abyss, so she couldn’t obtain Dragon Blood to feed her sword.

“Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!”

Hong Seohwa, who received the sword from Yoo Seongwoo, couldn’t help but be amazed by the energy overflowing from the sword.

It wasn’t just any dragon blood.

Yamata no Orochi [an eight-headed serpent from Japanese mythology] was a clear Dragon God.

Therefore, Yamata no Orochi’s Dragon God Blood would be considered the best among dragon blood, so Hong Seohwa’s sword was completed to its highest potential right here and now.

“I’ll go kill them all!”

Hong Seohwa, excited to receive her sword, immediately jumped into the battlefield.

Shua-nel yawned widely and lay down on the spot, heading towards the battlefield in the air.

Lying-down flight. It was a mysterious flying method.

As Yoo Seongwoo was only watching the two heading to the battlefield, Nagi asked with a worried voice.

“Are you sure those two alone are enough? Of course, I know that both of them are incredibly skilled, but…”

“Keep watching.”

Nagi still seemed worried, but Yoo Seongwoo only silently watched their backs.

Those two would be able to handle that much without any problems.

‘They must have practiced while I was in Takamagahara [the High Celestial Plain, the residence of the Japanese gods].’

And the battle went as he expected.

Hong Seohwa was at the forefront.

She roamed the battlefield with a sword in her hand.

Spewing flames in all directions to prevent enemies from approaching, and only thrusting her attacks among them.

It was a tactic only Hong Seohwa could do.

The synergy between her ability to spew flames and the ‘Red Dragon Flame Dance Sword’ that Yoo Seongwoo had taught her.

Even other fire ability users couldn’t withstand the high-temperature flames that Hong Seohwa spewed.

“The name Red Dragon suits her well.”

Was it a fire dragon?

Anyway.

While Hong Seohwa was happily slicing and burning everything with her newly evolved sword, Shua-nel was floating in the air, providing her with support fire.

With a few movements of her fingers, the metal spheres floating around her emitted light and constructed magic.

The rapidly constructed magic was incredibly fast, but its power was also extraordinary.

Colorful magic fell like rain from the sky, preemptively dealing with those who tried to approach Hong Seohwa’s blind spots, and completely sweeping away the area.

The Kanto divers shot magic, spells, and abilities to snipe Shua-nel in the air, but they disintegrated and disappeared before they could even reach her.

She was making good use of the things she had obtained from the Colosseum.

Yoo Seongwoo smiled and said.

“Well done.”

***

Seiji Yukimura.

The son of the Emperor, he was also the commander of this Kansai subjugation.

He led the divers to subjugate Kansai, and as the war situation was flowing favorably, he headed to the battlefield with the army his father had given him to drive a wedge.

However, he faced an unexpected situation.

The Kansai divers they had to deal with had already withdrawn from the front lines.

And some strange guys were stirring up the battlefield. A red-haired swordsman and an elf magician with beauty that could not come from a human.

“Hahaha! Come on! You bastards!”

The red-haired swordsman, almost spraying flames, was burning everything around him.

“Let’s finish this quickly.”

And the real flying elf was shooting magic at an incredible speed, as if she wasn’t even casting.

If the power was weak, it would be another story. The elf’s magic was also incredibly powerful.

She was firing magic with the power that their magicians had to cast for several minutes at almost no cooldown.

“These buggers!”

They were the ones who dropped their noses in the rice that was already cooked [idiom meaning they were stealing someone else’s victory]. Thinking that this wouldn’t do, Seiji stepped onto the battlefield.

He exploded yellow energy from his whole body and became a streak of light, rushing towards Hong Seohwa.

And a Japanese sword being swung.

Hong Seohwa looked at the Japanese sword coming to her neck and raised the corner of her mouth.

She had been bored because she had only been dealing with small fries until now, but she thought that a worthy opponent had finally appeared.

“Die!”

Seiji swung his sword with the intention of cutting her down at once, but his wish was not fulfilled.

Hong Seohwa’s burning sword intervened in the path of the light sword.

With a clear metallic sound, Seiji’s sword bounced back.

“Ugh!”

“You, you were just watching from behind!”

Hong Seohwa, who bounced Seiji away, smiled confidently and swung her sword at Seiji.

Flames embroider along the sword’s path.

The fire hell created by her flames, which had already been scattered in all directions, reacted to it and burned even hotter.

Hong Seohwa’s sword, drawing a graceful curve, was swung towards Seiji’s neck.

“I told you not to kill him!”

She hurriedly changed direction and aimed for his chest.

Seiji was one beat late in reacting because of that.

Hong Seohwa’s sword lightly cut Seiji’s chest.

Flames soared from the wound along the cut path, and Seiji gritted his teeth at the burning pain and stepped back to extinguish the flames with his energy.

“You, you bitch…”

“When did you see me to call me a bitch? You crazy bastard.”

Hong Seohwa swung her sword to burn all those around her and prepared for battle with their screams as background music.

Seiji also frowned and grabbed his Japanese sword again.

“Then don’t die! You bastard!”

Hong Seohwa took the first step.

Rushing forward, raising flames on the path she passed, she swung the burning sword strongly from top to bottom.

A simple downward strike with no technique or anything mixed in.

Seiji tried to block by extending his sword, but he twisted his body to avoid it due to the tremendous momentum he felt.

Hong Seohwa’s sword struck the floor, and the ground was deeply dug, and a pillar of fire soared.

“You dodged it?”

Her head turned to Seiji, who had dodged to the side, with a snap.

Seiji felt a chill down his spine even though the surroundings were a sea of fire.

Until just now, he was just a bug to be killed.

But now, what was in front of him was a monster.

“Why is a man so scared and dodges to the side? If you have confidence, you should bump into it. Ugh, you scaredy-cat.”

She chuckled, swung her sword around, and kicked the ground again.

Rushing in at a faster speed than before, using the explosive power of the flames.

Hong Seohwa’s sword is swung again.

This time, the same trajectory as before.

However, Seiji could not avoid it this time. Because Hong Seohwa’s sword was faster than he could avoid.

“Try to receive this well this time!”

Her sword falls towards Seiji’s sword.

With a dull sound, Seiji’s feet dug into the ground.

Blood gushed from Seiji’s mouth.

The power contained in Hong Seohwa’s sword was difficult to receive head-on.

“Ugh!”

“I’m going one more time!”

Her sword falls again on the spot where it fell once.

Seiji tried to hold on somehow, but they were shattered like paper in front of Hong Seohwa’s sword strike.

“Ugh!”

The Japanese sword he was holding broke, and Hong Seohwa’s sword brushed past his eyes and stuck into the floor.

The shockwave spread and stopped only after completely destroying the area.

Seiji fainted as it was, and Hong Seohwa smiled as she withdrew the flames from the area.

Then, grabbing the nape of the unconscious Seiji, she waved her hand towards Shua-nel in the air.

“Sister! It’s over!”

“It’s taking too long.”

Shua-nel, who had already dealt with all the small fries and was waiting, stretched out her finger, and Seiji floated into the air by her magic.

Shua-nel dragged Seiji as it was and flew to where Yoo Seongwoo was.

Yoo Seongwoo, who was watching the two returning from afar, spat out a word.

“Hmm, there are some parts I don’t like, but it’s usable enough at this level.”

At his words, Nagi and Koyuki, who were standing next to him, exchanged glances and hardened their expressions.

The two of them had just completely devastated the enemy camp.

If that wasn’t good enough, what would they have to do to please him?

***

“Wake up. How long are you going to sleep?”

It was a little later that Seiji, who had lost consciousness, opened his eyes.

He opened his eyes and tried to move his body after seeing Yoo Seongwoo in front of him, but his body did not move at all.

He realized why he couldn’t move right after.

His gaze was strange.

He was looking up at the man in front of him, but his gaze was too low.

He looked around and realized that he was buried except for his head.

‘This much… it doesn’t move?!’

He tried to escape by giving strength, but it didn’t move at all.

Yoo Seongwoo said, watching Seiji struggling.

“I’ve tied your hands and feet, so there’s no way you can move. Now, I’ll ask.”

Yoo Seongwoo reached out and grabbed Seiji’s head.

Only red eyes flashed from the shadowed face, meeting his gaze.

Seiji felt his whole body tremble the moment he met Yoo Seongwoo’s gaze.

What was in front of him was not a human.

Hong Seohwa was also a monster, but the man in front of him was far beyond that.

He felt the same feeling as when he faced his father.

‘No, maybe even more than that…’

Yoo Seongwoo asks.

“Did you receive orders from the Ascension Church? No, there’s no need to ask that. Tell me where the guy who sent you here is.”

He asked where the Emperor was.

Seiji weighed two fears in his head.

His father, who had surpassed humans and was closer to ascension than anyone else.

Or this monster who might have already surpassed ascension.

The weighing didn’t take long.

The scale quickly tipped over, and there was no need to weigh it.

“I’ll tell you! Where the Emperor is…!”

However, Seiji could not finish his words.

The moment he was about to say where the Emperor was, a crow burst out of his head.

Yoo Seongwoo reached out and grabbed the flying crow and frowned.

“What a bad taste.”

Was he so unwilling to have his secrets revealed?

To the point where he had to plant even this in his head.

As he glared at the crow, the crow’s eyes glowed red and soon conveyed human words.

“As the Emperor of the Great Japanese Empire, I command you to retreat! If you want to save your life!”

As soon as he conveyed the words, the crow exploded and disappeared.

Yoo Seongwoo, who was unharmed even after receiving the crow’s explosion as it was, raised the corners of his mouth and muttered.

“…The Great Japanese Empire.”

The Great Japanese Empire?

You’re dead.
