The Swordmaster Wants To Live Peacefully [EN]: Chapter 332

Swordmaster Wants to Live Peacefully – Episode 331

Another World (2)

The Divers of the Sword Realm were fully prepared to face their enemies.

They had endured three weeks of hellish training under Yoo Seong-woo and meticulously planned their strategy.

All to hunt a god.

Though not the god themselves, the avatars who inherited their power possessed strength surpassing that of ordinary Divers.

Even though the Divers of the Sword Realm had grown much stronger, they had not yet reached the level of a god.

“Kugh!”

“These crazy bastards! What the hell did they eat to get so strong?!”

A curse involuntarily escaped his lips.

Even though he was decked out in the highest-grade equipment, the tremendous impact was directly transmitted to his body.

The moment he took it head-on without deflecting it, bones would break in an instant.

“Hoo!”

Baek Woo-hyun charged forward, cloaked in lightning.

He unleashed everything he had honed, cutting across the battlefield.

But there was someone wielding a sword even more enthusiastically.

“Still, still weak! Is that all you’ve got? You can’t stop me with that!”

It was Veronica.

More familiar with this kind of war than anyone else, she swung the Mythic Greatsword she had obtained in the arena with reckless abandon, dominating the battlefield.

Even if the opponent was a god, one couldn’t be intimidated by their aura.

For the sake of the other Divers behind her, she stood at the front lines, cutting down enemies.

The opponents were avatars, so even Veronica couldn’t easily defeat them.

But she had certainly seized the initiative.

A girl wielding a greatsword while clad in heavy armor.

A monster slayer.

A demon slayer.

A dragon slayer.

A Swordmaster.

Every word that described her carried weight.

A person who could split the sea and cleave mountains with a single sword.

Each time Veronica’s sword swung, explosions shook the heavens and the earth, pushing back the avatars’ front lines.

Veronica was truly running wild.

She cut down weak avatars and overcame the difference in size through her seasoned experience.

As she stirred up the battlefield, a large beam of light flew towards Veronica from among the avatars.

She instinctively raised her greatsword in front of her to defend, but the impact alone sent her flying backward, rolling across the ground.

She picked herself up and looked through her helmet to see the figure who had fired the beam of light, not caring that other avatars were caught in the blast.

A dark-skinned man.

A man with golden eyes floated slightly above the ground as he approached and spoke.

“Incompetent fools. Get out of my way.”

“Huh? Who do you think you are…!”

Another avatar protested at his arrogant words, but he extended a finger and fired a beam of light at the avatar.

The beam of light, stretched out in a straight line, pierced through their forehead before they could even react.

“I won’t say it twice.”

Overwhelming firepower that killed even another avatar in one shot.

Only then did the others clear the way, and he stepped forward and said.

“You insect-like things.”

The Divers of the Sword Realm murmured as they watched.

The heat from just moments ago vanished in an instant, as if it had been a lie.

Just as everyone froze, there was a huge reverberation that shook the earth.

It was the sound of Veronica slamming her greatsword into the ground.

She pointed at the avatar with her finger and said.

“Are you my opponent? You’re disgustingly ugly. Ugly bastards should all die!”

A single word that changed the atmosphere.

Veronica pulled out the greatsword she had stuck into the ground and smiled.

“Let’s do a one-on-one match. I need to get praised by the Captain.”

The war continued.

***

A rich young lady who used twin swords.

As Yoo Seong-woo remembered, she wasn’t just from a rich family, but a powerful noble one.

A proud noble who had protected their territory by dealing with monsters and demons for a long time.

‘…Bittersweet.’

And he knew what would happen to them. This was a past that he also knew, albeit fragmentarily.

Yoo Seong-woo passed through the fence and entered the interior.

What was visible beyond the fence was the training ground of the mansion.

A private training ground that only family members could use, and a place that the girl and her father often used.

As soon as she bought the Twin Swords from the weapon shop, the girl rushed here and was swinging them around.

As if she intended to make them her new favorite weapons, she was desperately trying to adapt to the swords.

Yoo Seong-woo sat down and watched her.

For some reason, he didn’t know why, but the girl’s figure seemed to overlap with that of Alias.

The two weren’t master and disciple, and Alias hadn’t even left behind his swordsmanship.

However, the girl was chasing after Alias’s sword with only her innate talent.

“You were incredibly skilled even from this time.”

Yoo Seong-woo muttered as he watched the girl’s sword.

No wonder Alias’s swordsmanship seemed a little familiar; it was because he had seen it before.

Although the order was reversed.

The girl swung the twin swords as if she was enjoying herself.

Like dancing, like letting go of everything that bound her.

She didn’t care how dirty her dress got.

The girl was a swordswoman who wasn’t bound by such attire.

Swinging her sword until the sun went down, the girl collapsed to the ground, exhausted. The Twin Swords seemed to be happily humming after being wielded after a long time, and the girl’s maid, who had been watching from some point, approached with a worried expression and said.

-My lady, your dress is dirty again.

-This mere dress. I can just buy another one. No, isn’t it a problem that Father doesn’t buy me comfortable clothes in the first place?

-Don’t say that. You know that the master is concerned because you’re at the age to get married, my lady?

-Hmph. A marriage I don’t even want to go to.

The girl seemed to have just entered her teens, but was she already receiving marriage proposals?

It was a crazy world in many ways.

The girl grumbled and got up from her seat, holding the Twin Swords in her arms, and the maid brushed off the dirt with a towel.

-They’re covered in rust. I’ll have to take care of them myself.

-Please leave such work to the family’s blacksmith.

-No! They’re the swords I’ll be using from now on, so I have to do it myself.

“I think it would be better to leave it to the blacksmith.”

Yoo Seong-woo chuckled.

He could picture the future where the condition of the swords would worsen because of that, and she would end up crying and entrusting them to the blacksmith.

That was always how that child was.

She had grown up as a noble, but she wasn’t like one. Perhaps it was because her personality didn’t suit the life of a noble.

But, she was also the most noble person of all.

Yoo Seong-woo murmured the girl’s name with longing.

“Lorraine…….”

-Miss Reina! Not in that state again…!

…Was it not Lorraine?

Yoo Seong-woo briefly searched his memories, but no matter how much he thought about it, that girl was definitely Lorraine.

Was her name Lorraine Reina, or Leani Lorraine?

Or, she might have changed her name while working as a mercenary.

Anyway.

The girl was released only after being scolded by the butler and maid.

The girl, who had ruined the Twin Swords while trying to take care of them herself and had cried as she brought them to the blacksmith, fell asleep that night, embracing the cleaned-up Twin Swords.

Time passed.

Lorraine loved swords so much that even her father couldn’t stop her, and he had to give up.

Moreover, he couldn’t stop her because her talent surpassed everyone in the family.

In the end, her father gave up on sending her off to marry someone and began to teach her swordsmanship.

Not long after teaching her the sword, Lorraine’s skills surpassed her father’s, and she became a knight representing the family.

Then, in the year Lorraine turned sixteen, an incident occurred.

It was an attack by demons.

Lorraine’s family had lived by excluding demons for generations.

Because of this, the demons targeted her family as the top priority to break through the defense line, and after a long period of plotting, they succeeded in attacking.

And it happened to be at a time when Lorraine was away from the territory for other business.

When she received the news and returned to the territory, it was too late.

The mansion had burned down, and the servants and family members were dead.

The entire territory was devastated by the demons’ attack, and the territory’s soldiers and knights resisted to the end, but they couldn’t win.

Filled with anger, she took the Twin Swords and single-handedly massacred the demons who remained in the territory.

She unleashed her anger and sorrow, slicing through the monsters and demons that stood in her way with overwhelming power.

She had lost her strict but kind father and her gentle mother.

Her entire family had been killed by those bastards, and not a single servant remained.

She had become completely alone. No one was left.

Fight, fight, and fight again.

For several days, the blade of the Twin Swords never had a day when it wasn’t stained with blood.

Furthermore, because the Demon King’s army was afraid, no one helped, and she piled up mountains of corpses of the Demon King’s army remnants alone.

When the commander of the Demon King’s army personally appeared to kill her.

He judged that if he let her, who had single-handedly defeated the remnants of the Demon King’s army, live, she would return as a great threat.

The commander’s judgment was correct, and when she, exhausted from the long battle, was about to give up everything.

A familiar face appeared.

-Don’t you think it’s too early to give up yet?

It was Yoo Seong-woo.

His younger self.

-Take up your sword.

The commander of the Demon King’s army was a strong opponent.

That version of himself couldn’t win fighting alone.

As the Yoo Seong-woo in her memory emitted a red aura and confronted the commander, Lorraine asked.

-…I’ve lost everything. I can’t anymore…….

-You don’t want to live anymore? That can’t be. Your family won’t be able to close their eyes in peace until you’ve finished avenging the ones who killed them.

Yoo Seong-woo said.

It’s too early to give up because you still have things to do.

Lorraine staggered to her feet at his words and gripped the Twin Swords in her hand.

Shaking legs, trembling hands.

It was unclear whether she would even be able to wield the sword properly.

But the enemy was the commander of the Demon King’s army, and hundreds of demons under his command.

The number of enemies that two people could overcome was not possible.

-Kuh, hahaha. I’m lucky today. To be able to catch two annoying bugs that have been bothering me until now…….

-I don’t know what a real bug is saying.

Lorraine looked at Yoo Seong-woo’s back in front of her.

She wondered who this person was, but now was not the time to worry about such things.

-Yes, revenge. I have to take revenge.

She gripped the sword in her hand and took a stance.

As Yoo Seong-woo said.

It was unfair to close her eyes like this, so she had to kill at least one more of them.

Yoo Seong-woo, feeling her will, chuckled and said.

-Yes, that’s it.

The will to kill the enemy.

On the battlefield, that alone was enough.

Yoo Seong-woo kicked off the ground and swung his sword at the commander.

The aftermath of the aura swept away even the demons around him, changing the atmosphere of the battlefield.

-I’ll take on the commander. Take care of the small fries.

-Okay.

In an instant, they decided on their roles and entrusted their backs to each other.

Yoo Seong-woo, watching the scene, chuckled and muttered.

“Those were the days full of vigor.”

Was it when he had just entered the realm of Swordmaster? That must have been it.

He had learned to control aura and rushed over after hearing the news that demons had attacked a territory.

As he reminisced about the nostalgic past, the sight of himself fighting in front of him kept catching his eye.

Anyway.

“I was terribly weak at this time. I couldn’t even use the sword properly…….”
