The Swordmaster Wants To Live Peacefully [EN]: Chapter 329

Destiny (8)

Yuseongwu returned to the Sword World.

He had left and returned without anyone knowing, so there was no grand welcome. However, those who knew why he had gone to Olympus welcomed him back with Jeremiah.

“You’ve returned safely again. I’m glad, Oppa [term of endearment used by younger women to address older brothers or male friends in Korean culture].”

Yujiu, who had rushed out first, hugged Yuseongwu tightly.

Nox, who followed, circled around and jumped onto his back.

Yuseongwu looked at the ceiling once at their reactions and slowly peeled them off.

“Anyone would think I went to die. Stop acting, it’s disgusting. You seem to have something to say.”

“Ah, was I caught?”

“That’s just like you.”

“So, what did you bring this time? Unnie [term of endearment used by younger women to address older sisters or female friends in Korean culture] said you beat up Olympus pretty badly?”

“The rumors have already spread? You have to give it to the gods for their loose lips.”

If they already heard, there’s nothing I can do.

And anyway, I was going to tell Yujiu.

“Nectar concentrate. Genuine stuff with a different concentration than what Olympus sent before, and Ambrosia [food of the gods in Greek mythology]. And other things. I squeezed out quite a bit of compensation.”

“Oppa! I love you! Did I ever tell you that!”

“Ah, Ajusshi [Korean term for ‘mister,’ often used playfully], me too!”

Yuseongwu sincerely hoped that Nox wouldn’t resemble Yujiu.

It seems a little late.

“And I’m sorry to say this as soon as I get back, but I’m going to focus on training for a few days. I’ll be inside the Sword World, so consult with the Witch Society and train hard.”

“Training? Me too?”

“Yes. We have good materials now. If you work hard, you might reach the edge of divinity.”

“Tsk…….”

Yujiu didn’t look too happy.

Then, a clear motivation is needed.

“A full-scale war will break out. The Sword World is still a thorn in the side of the Holy Star Palace. I just don’t want you guys to die in such a war.”

“Full-scale war…….”

“Gods are getting closer and closer to humans, and there are more who aren’t friendly to humans. To be equal to them, obtaining divinity is the first step.”

To gain divinity, you need mythology.

Achievements and efforts to reach divinity must be accompanied, and even serendipity is needed.

Even so, only a very small number of people obtain divinity.

If there is nectar concentrate that turns humans into gods just by eating it, it might be a little different.

Yuseongwu clenched his fist and said.

“I have no intention of being satisfied with the present. I need to get stronger.”

“…Oppa.”

“So, do you feel like training now?”

“Stop posing. It’s really weird.”

Yuseongwu eventually flicked Yujiu’s forehead.

It was a hard flick that made her fall on her butt, so Yujiu fell to the floor, clutching her forehead and rolling around.

“Train properly. I can’t stand seeing you guys die.”

My colleagues who believed in me and followed me.

I can’t stand seeing my family die anymore.

I’ve already lost enough.

Now, I wasn’t going to let go of what I had filled.

“Was there anything else while I was away from the Sword World?”

“Nothing much. It became a completely independent country from Korea, so there were some diplomatic problems.”

“Diplomatic problems?”

“It seems like the number of enemy countries has increased a bit? I wonder if rumors spread somewhere that we are a small Holy Star Palace.”

Such rumors had already spread.

The birth of the Sword World was the hottest topic among the Holy Star Palaces.

“So, which countries have declared us enemies?”

If it’s a country belonging to a large Holy Star Palace, it’s a bit difficult.

Even China, or Japan, is difficult to deal with with the current power.

“That’s…….”

Yujiu rattled off the names of several countries.

They were countries I had never heard of, and they probably had nothing to do with them even when they were the Republic of Korea.

Some states in the United States, which used to be one country but are now divided, also expressed hostility.

‘I guess I know why it’s going that way.’

The time to test the waters is over.

Small Holy Star Palaces have a good opportunity to expand their power by swallowing newly born Holy Star Palaces.

Roughly calculating, the Holy Star Palaces that seemed to be able to easily devour the Sword World declared war.

By borrowing the mouths of the humans in the land where they settled.

It was inefficient for them to move directly.

Appearing in the human realm is what gods with overflowing divinity like Olympus or Yggdrasil [a giant mythical tree that connects the nine worlds in Norse cosmology] do.

“They’re doing ridiculous things.”

But the Sword World had long since passed the point of being defeated by such small Holy Star Palaces.

From the beginning, the barrier was designed with the assumption that such guys would attack.

It is a barrier that even gods cannot penetrate, completed by the best wizards who have lived for thousands of years.

It’s not a Great Divinity, so there’s no way that small Holy Star Palaces with only divinity can break through the barrier.

Yuseongwu, who was thinking for a moment, said.

“…It’s also a good opportunity.”

At his words, Yujiu felt uneasy and tried to run away before hearing it, but a sword was already floating in the air behind her, blocking her escape route.

“Call everyone. Let’s make an entry to fight when they attack.”

***

The people Yuseongwu gathered before entering training were familiar faces.

The elders of the Witch Society were added to that, and a little over twenty people gathered in one place.

“Is everyone doing well? Is there anything uncomfortable? Tell me if there is.”

“If I say something, I feel like I’ll be in trouble…….”

“I guess not. Anyway, you’re not skipping training, are you? It’s easy to get into trouble if you only rely on your awakened abilities.”

Yuseongwu’s lecture like a school principal continues.

Yuseongwu, who was unknowingly talking in detail, cleared his throat and got to the point.

“As you know, several Holy Star Palaces will try to attack the Sword World soon. You will be combatants at that time.”

“Is it our role to defend the Sword World inside the barrier? I’m confident!”

“What are you talking about? You have to go outside the barrier and fight.”

Baek Uhyeon confidently said, but tilted his head at the answer that came back.

“There’s no reason to refuse when the divinities are coming to die on their own, right?”

There is none.

Fighting with divinity will be an important and valuable experience that cannot be obtained anywhere.

Because those are the guys you have to deal with in the future.

If you realize something while fighting with divinity, that’s all the better.

“Don’t worry about dying, but fight with the determination to die. Even if you lose one or two arms and legs, there are ways to reattach them.”

Thanks to the gifts sent from here and there, the supplies are very plentiful.

Hong Seohwa raised her hand.

“But Master, can we deal with divinity at our level? No matter how I think about it, I can’t figure it out.”

“Can you? Of course not. Not at your current level.”

Yuseongwu is an exception.

He had the constitution to cut down divinity with a human body and even absorb that divinity.

But now, they are weaker than when he faced the demons, so there’s no way they can face divinity.

“They won’t come directly and will use their incarnations. Because the consumption of divinity in the human realm is considerable to manifest directly. But if they are cornered, God may descend directly.”

Surely it would be.

Even if it’s a divinity of a small Holy Star Palace, it’s only about using one or two incarnations.

Creating an incarnation consumes quite a bit of divinity, so rather than losing one, they will try to break through the situation by descending directly.

“You guys are hunting those divinities. Medea will set the stage, and if you fight to the death like that, you’ll realize something.”

Originally, humans grow the most in the face of death.

Yuseongwu looked around at the faces.

Among the witches of the Witch Society, only Medea and Bathory can unfold their unique worlds.

And among those who follow him, only Veronica can unfold her unique world. Even that is still incomplete,

Someday, not only Veronica, but everyone must build their own world.

Now that we don’t know when the Seungcheon Church will move, we need to secure as much power as possible as soon as possible.

“Anyway, if they come, we just have to kill them, right? Master.”

“That’s right.”

“Then Captain, what are you going to do in the meantime? Are you going to rest alone?”

“I have to train too. Veronica, you’re the strongest here… well, not really. Take care of the kids.”

“There’s someone stronger than me?!”

Veronica glared around, and Medea smiled and waved her hand.

She, who was reborn as a complete divinity this time, is on a different level from others.

Veronica looked at her and seemed to be burning with a desire to win, and she was about to draw her sword right away.

Yuseongwu flicked his finger and hit Veronica’s forehead with a mass of aura, making her sit down.

“Do it moderately. There’s something more important than that right now.”

Yuseongwu thought that he had only gathered troublemakers.

An uneasy feeling that they will cause a big accident someday.

“Medea, use the nectar and ambrosia generously. You can use everything in the warehouse. Roll them around somehow and make them strong.”

“Okay. I can experiment with this and that.”

“…Experiment moderately.”

“Hehe.”

I’ll adjust it myself.

That will be.

Yuseongwu looked around at the faces of the people again.

They have grown a lot. They have become stronger through various battles, and foreign S-class divers are no match for them.

“Hmm, should I call a few more people?”

If possible, it would be good to call people who will become allies and give them a good experience.

“Yuwol, contact Namsan Tower and the Demonic Cult. Also to Inari Shrine and Yasaka Tower. Tell only those who want to come to come.”

“Yes!”

Let’s slowly make a fish trap for the fish that will flock in.

I don’t know how big the fish will be, but at least I’ll be able to eat my fill.

“It will be a fun time.”

It was a pity that he couldn’t participate in such a fun event.

There will be many more fun things to come.

While smiling with that thought, Jeanne cautiously raised her hand and asked.

“It’s all good, but can’t you not smile like that? We look like villains.”

“Leave him alone. Captain is sometimes like that. He has to smile like that. Or when else will he smile?”

Suddenly, he stabs a painful spot.

Yuseongwu turned his expression expressionless and got up from his seat.

He’s definitely not running away because he’s embarrassed.

And three weeks later, when the Sword World had finished all preparations, unidentified forces began to flock around the Sword World as Yuseongwu said.

All the people living near the Sword World were evacuated inside, and all the doors that could be entered were closed.

All that remains is war.

“Shall we contact Seongwu-nim [honorific title in Korean]?”

“No. We have to do this much. We can’t rely on Oppa forever.”

“I knew you would say that.”

Yuwol smiled brightly and identified the enemies with drones located throughout the Sword World.

There are forces heavily armed with firearms, and there are also those who have gathered with only armor and weapons.

The incarnations of small Holy Star Palaces from all over the world who want to devour the Sword World.

“Is the approximate number about two hundred? There aren’t that many.”

“…There are only a little over twenty of us?”

“It’s enough if we catch ten people per person.”

Yujiu thought.
