Swordmaster Wants to Live Peacefully Episode 340

The Strong

“It’s trash.”

“It is trash.”

Yu Seong-wu gave a cold assessment.

The items they brought as compensation were terrible.

The Holy Shrine based in the Amazon River.

Since they were also a Holy Shrine, he thought they would have something useful…….

“Disappointing. This isn’t enough.”

Yu Seong-wu, sitting on a chair carved from stone, frowned as he looked at the other deities.

Even with their lives on the line, they were offering such things.

They were either incredibly poor, or…….

‘They might be trying to save their last bit of pride.’

As expected, except for a few, the gods were all arrogant bastards.

Even in this situation, they were trying to save face.

His attitude was quite uncomfortable, and eventually, one god couldn’t stand it and exploded.

“You son of a bitch! How long do you think you can keep up that attitude!”

He shouted and drew his weapon, charging towards Yu Seong-wu.

Thinking he could defeat him now that he was off guard, he detonated his divine power and rushed forward.

“How absurd.”

Yu Seong-wu chuckled and flicked his finger at the god rushing towards him.

Then, the god’s head fell off and rolled on the floor.

Yu Seong-wu, who had severed a god’s head with a single finger, stood up and picked up the rolling head.

Then, he roughly threw the head of the god, who had died with a face full of anger, onto the floor and said.

“It seems you still don’t understand your situation.”

Yu Seong-wu sat back down.

Those who hadn’t even seen how the god had died were even more terrified, and Yu Seong-wu spoke.

“I am not asking you for a favor, but making a demand. You waged war without a declaration of war, and you even lost. Isn’t that pathetic? You didn’t have the guts to come directly, so you mobilized avatars…….”

There were no deities capable of manifesting in the mortal realm, so they sent avatars.

The Sword Society had defeated them all, and Yu Seong-wu had to visit three or four more Holy Shrines besides this one.

But the first one was already like this.

“What I am offering is mercy. Do you know why I am not killing you all, even though I could?”

No one answered his question.

Who knows what a crazy bastard is thinking.

“I don’t like unnecessary killing. I don’t want to kill you without a reason either.”

Absorbing their divine power now wouldn’t even make a dent.

He had already achieved the Great Divinity, and compared to his divine power, they were nothing but a drop in the bucket.

Absorbing them would only have a negative impact.

Now was the time to refine his own divine power rather than absorbing others.

“So, hand over everything you have. Unless you want to end up like that head rolling around over there.”

A murderous aura emanated from him.

His intention to kill them all if things didn’t go his way was clearly felt.

The interior of the Holy Shrine was filled with his will.

“Now, if you understand, bring everything. Your lives and the reparations. Weigh them carefully.”

***

After plundering the first Holy Shrine, Yu Seong-wu visited three more and collected all sorts of treasures.

He killed those who still resisted, and forced the remaining ones into submission with fear, preventing them from retaliating.

Although they were gods with strong pride, they had no choice but to yield in the face of the fear of death.

He taught the fear of death to those who didn’t know it…….

After roughly settling the matter, he returned to the Sword Society and distributed the recovered treasures to the divers [members] who had worked hard this time.

Perhaps because they were plundered from the Holy Shrines, even if they were useless to Yu Seong-wu, they were top-quality items to them.

All sorts of weapons, equipment, and various consumables.

There were artifacts and magical tools, as they were commonly called, in abundance.

It would greatly help their growth, and the Sword Society would become even stronger.

“And how about it, did anyone realize anything from this battle?”

However, the number of divine beings in the Sword Society who could unfold their own unique world was still limited.

The enemies who had invaded this time were mediocre, so the divers of the Sword Society could handle them.

But if those who could unfold their own unique world were to swarm in, they would collapse.

If the gods had no restrictions on the power they could exert in the mortal realm, the Sword Society would have already collapsed.

Therefore, what was most urgent now was for the divers of the Sword Society to become stronger.

Yu Seong-wu frowned when there was no answer to his words.

“Even if the others are like that, why don’t you say anything, Veronica? When I checked, there were traces of you unfolding your own unique world.”

“Th, th-that’s…….”

Veronica was still ashamed of her own unique world, and she stammered, unable to meet Yu Seong-wu’s eyes.

Yu Seong-wu chuckled at her appearance and waved his hand.

He had just seen Veronica’s life, so he decided to understand her with a generous heart.

“It’s okay. I wasn’t trying to scold you. I was just curious.”

Other than that.

Yu Seong-wu looked at the Four Cardinal Directions [elite members of the Sword Society].

They had been eating good things and training hard, so they should have made some progress.

But all four of them avoided Yu Seong-wu’s gaze.

As expected, Yu Seong-wu sighed and said.

“Sigh. What can I say? Someday you will do your part.”

Yu Seong-wu wondered if there was a way to quickly grow them.

He would maintain the current method, but he felt he needed to add something new.

For example, a battle with a strong opponent.

It would be good for Yu Seong-wu himself to spar with them, but if they got too used to it, their sense of crisis would decrease.

“Hmm.”

If they had the skills of the expedition members, they could try to challenge the divine beings.

‘The best thing would be to show them an example.’

Even if Baek Wu-hyeon or Hong Seo-hwa could somehow do it, it would be difficult to teach Choi A-yeon or Yu Ji-woo because they were not familiar with swordsmanship.

Then, he had no choice but to invite an external instructor.

“Medea, a moment.”

Medea brought her ear to his mouth at his call, and Yu Seong-wu asked several questions.

And after receiving an affirmative answer, he nodded and smiled.

“I’ll show you something interesting.”

***

A week after Yu Seong-wu said he would show them something interesting.

The four were trembling with fear.

“No, what on earth is he going to show us that he’s taking so long to prepare?”

“How would I know? But it’s definitely going to be a lot of suffering.”

The others nodded at Hong Seo-hwa’s words.

When Yu Seong-wu said he would show them something interesting, it meant he was going to push them to the brink of death.

How many times had they suffered like that so far?

Too many to count.

He would throw them into the abyss, make them train with cursed artifacts, saying it was interesting.

They had suffered in many ways, and they were terrified of what Yu Seong-wu would bring.

“But, if we follow it diligently, we do get stronger, don’t we? I think it’s good.”

“That’s true. I admit it too. It’s a little hard, but…….”

“A little my ass! It’s fucking hard! I almost died during that arena *bbaengppaengyi* [endless laps] last time!”

Hong Seo-hwa growled like a beast.

She followed Yu Seong-wu, but this kind of training was a real ordeal.

It seemed like she was steadily getting stronger, but the downside was that she felt like she was going to die more and more as she did it.

“If we keep going like this, we’re going to run out of energy and die. Really.”

“This time, it’s especially ominous. I don’t even know what he’s preparing, but the witches of the Witchcraft Society are moving very busily.”

“Did you find out what that is?”

“It seems like *oppa* [term of endearment for older brother or male friend] issued a gag order. No matter how much I pry, I only get the answer that they were told never to tell us four.”

“What on earth did he prepare…….”

They couldn’t even imagine what Yu Seong-wu was preparing.

Seeing the witches being mobilized so much, it must be something magical, but they couldn’t get a clue as to what he was trying to do.

As they were trembling in the face of the unknown fear, a rabbit pattern appeared on their smartphones, and a voice flowed from the speaker.

-You four, you’re summoned. Come to room A-5 on the 7th basement floor of the Guild Tower!

“Ugh?! What is this?”

“I, I don’t remember installing something like this.”

-This time, Sejong City has been reorganized into the Sword Society and formed an independent network! It’s a behavior assistance application that was downloaded by hacking your smartphones.

“You’re saying scary things so casually…….”

Anyway, they headed to the basement of the Guild Tower according to Yowol’s call.

When they entered the room, the witches and Yu Seong-wu were standing there.

In front of them, dozens of ominous-looking magic circles were rotating.

Yu Seong-wu turned around and said.

“Ah, you’re here? Welcome. It’s just finished.”

“O, *oppa*, what is this?”

“It’s a magic circle that you have to enter. How is it, isn’t it cool?”

“If we go inside, it’ll grind us like a blender…….”

“There’s no way that would happen?”

Yu Seong-wu, who grabbed Yu Ji-woo, who was saying ridiculous things, threw her into the magic circle first.

And then he threw the remaining three in, and Veronica and Yu Seong-wu, who arrived late, also stepped into the magic circle together.

Yu Ji-woo looked at Yu Seong-wu with anxious eyes and said.

“At, at least tell me what this is! I’m so nervous?!

“It’s a magic circle designed by the elders of the Witchcraft Society, so it won’t be dangerous. Probably.”

Yu Ji-woo could only scream at his words.

The magic circle shines.

And, the surrounding scenery changes at once. From an empty white room to a vast plain.

The four were flustered by the sudden change of scenery and looked around.

Choi A-yeon muttered.

“Space *idong* [teleportation]… ?”

“No. It’s not space *idong* [teleportation], it’s just projecting my memories into the room. There are people I want to introduce to you.”

Yu Seong-wu moved his feet, and Veronica followed behind him.

Looking around, she said with a bright expression.

“Captain, this is…….”

“Yes, you will remember it too. Veronica.”

Yu Seong-wu climbed a low hill, and those who followed him up looked at the vast land and the horizon spread out below the hill and exclaimed.

It was a scenery that was rarely seen in Korea.

“Oh, there’s something over there.”

Choi A-yeon, who had good eyes, pointed to one place with her finger.

A camp with several tents set up.

Veronica jumped up from her seat when she saw the camp, and the others tilted their heads at the camp that was strangely located in this place.

“Captain, Captain! That! Is it real?! How is this possible?!”

“It’s the power of magic. I don’t know the details either. The magicians did a very good job.”

How many materials went into constructing this magic circle.

Several artifacts were also ground into it.

To perfectly realize the scenery in my memory like this.

Yu Seong-wu stared at the camp for a while, then turned around and said.

“Welcome to the camp of the Sword Soul Expedition.”
