Swordmaster Wants to Live in Peace Chapter 352

For Peace (8)

What difference would it make if one more Swordmaster were added to the battlefield?

People usually say that. Those who have never seen a Swordmaster say that.

A Swordmaster, to put it a bit exaggeratedly, is someone who can destroy a small country. It’s not for nothing that countries put so much effort into raising knights and trying to create Swordmasters.

The miracle of a Swordmaster is born when the three gears of talent, effort, and opportunity mesh together.

A being who can slice mountains with a single sword and part the sea.

The difference between a swordsman who has crossed the wall to become a Swordmaster and one who has not is as vast as heaven and earth.

The sword of one who has built his own world and one who has not will be different in its strength.

“Hahaha, hahahaha! Is this the world that Swordmasters see!”

Carlton deflected the monster’s attack and felt the chessboard in his head expand infinitely.

It wasn’t the feeling he usually had when fighting.

His thoughts expanded infinitely, and he felt like everything was under his control.

He moved assuming a one-on-one situation when using Evernia Swordsmanship.

It was the strongest swordsmanship in one-on-one combat, but it was a bit lacking in multi-person combat.

However, Carlton, who broke through the wall to become a Swordmaster, was able to unfold all the possibilities of Evernia Swordsmanship.

He expanded the concept of the pieces on the chessboard not only to himself but also to the allies around him.

He reads not only the monsters but also the thoughts and behavior patterns of his allies, and builds a path to victory.

“I’ll show you the ultimate of Evernia Swordsmanship.”

Evernia Swordsmanship

Ultimate – Victory Formula (勝利公式) [Victory Formula]

Carlton’s feet and sword moved.

With calculated movements, he restricted the monsters’ movements and created avenues for attack. Not only for himself, but also for the people around him.

The blue aura pierced the monster’s shoulder, and at the same time, Baek Woo-hyun’s sword, which flew in like lightning, blew away one of the monster’s legs.

Following that, the head of the monster, who had lost its arms and legs, was cut off by Carlton’s aura sword.

Carlton, who had defeated the commander-class monster, collapsed to the floor as a result of using aura so extravagantly as soon as he broke through the wall to become a Swordmaster.

However, the burden on others was greatly reduced by the result he created.

And on the opposite side of Carlton, a pillar of gold flashed and brightly illuminated the red sky below.

It was the pillar of light created by Leonia Ser.

As if stimulated by Carlton breaking through the wall to become a Swordmaster, she also broke through the wall.

It was proof that the wall to becoming a Swordmaster could be broken with even a small opportunity.

Leonia, who poured her aura into the monster Yuji-woo was fighting and cut it down, knelt on the floor like Carlton, and soon other Swordmasters also defeated the commander-class monsters they were fighting one-on-one.

It was the result of the Swordmasters focusing on their own battles without having to worry about anything because Carlton and Leonia awakened as Swordmasters during the battle, reducing the burden on others.

And soon, with a roar, the red sky returned to a blue sky.

Yuseong-woo, who had gone ahead, succeeded in closing the Red Jade Gate.

As the gate closed, the number of monsters no longer increased. Now all that was left was to defeat them.

The monsters, having lost all their commander-class and leader-class monsters, became a disorganized mob.

They were no match for the expedition, which was a group of veteran hunters who had gained experience through long battles.

Moreover, Yuseong-woo was literally sweeping away the monsters from behind, so all they had to do was make them into a sandwich [attack from both sides].

The expedition members, who had swept away all the monsters, returned to the devastated camp and began to clean up as if they were used to it.

“Celine, report.”

“…Seven minor injuries, three serious injuries, and two deaths.”

“…Fewer than I thought. Rain, Solia… I will carry on both of their swords.”

Yuseong-woo quickly realized who was missing from the camp.

They were faces he had seen every day for years…

Rain and Solia were among the least skilled in the expedition.

They were below or about the same as the four who had recently joined.

Therefore, it was not strange that they died in such a large-scale battle. Yuseong-woo cremated the bodies of the two, polished their swords, and engraved their names on them, making them the swords of the expedition.

And while the four who had experienced the war with the monsters gathered and shared their fighting experiences while resting.

A clap of hands was heard, and all the expedition members who were moving busily stopped.

The world stopped.

The four who were resting looked around in the sudden situation, and Yuseong-woo and Veronica appeared among them.

“That’s it. I don’t have the energy to maintain the illusion anymore.”

“It’s over with this……”

Baek Woo-hyun murmured with a regretful expression at Yuseong-woo’s words.

The others were similar. Even though the people they talked to and shared swords with were illusions, everything they shared was real.

Yuseong-woo looked at their expressions and made a slightly bitter expression. Then, he bowed his head to the four and said.

“Thank you. For showing me a different future. For doing the things I couldn’t do.”

“…What are you talking about? Oppa [term of endearment used by younger women to address older brothers or male friends].”

“Originally, more than ten people died in this Red Jade Gate. First, Shani died. Due to a monster’s surprise attack. Next, Felt, Shuro, Solia……”

Yuseong-woo’s words were no longer continued. There was nothing that would change even if he continued to speak. It hurt every time he said their names.

That alone was enough for the four to know what Yuseong-woo was showing them his memories with, and what he was saying with such a strong determination.

His strong determination to make them stronger even by showing them his painful memories.

“Thank you again. For changing the tragic ending of all those people, even in the illusion.”

The four looked at each other and smiled at Yuseong-woo’s words. For some reason, they laughed at the unfamiliar atmosphere.

Yuseong-woo looked at them and smiled, then turned his head.

“This is the last trial for you. It’ll be a lot of fun.”

At the end of his gaze, there was another Yuseong-woo. A being moving alone in a world where everyone was stopped.

Yuseong-woo, who was walking slowly with noise [distorted sound], was clearly showing hostility towards this side.

Yuji-woo asked.

“Did…did you do that too, Oppa?”

“No. I’m a little curious about what’s going on. Did I set the illusion too close to reality, and it gained its own ego?”

Or maybe.

It may be someone’s doing. An existence with such high-level technology that it can interfere with the illusion by breaking through the Sword Society’s security.

To be at that level, it would have to be a deity-level figure from a large Holy Star Temple.

Anyway, Yuseong-woo clapped his hands and said.

“Okay, everyone, get ready. It’s still stronger than you, although it’s restricted compared to the original.”

Try to defeat it based on the experience you gained this time.

The past me.

***

A world where everyone is stopped.

In that place, Yuseong-woo rolled his eyes. What is going on? Suddenly, the world stopped.

But this was not the first time he had experienced this. He had felt as if the world had suddenly stopped before, and he had felt as if something had changed.

A sense of incongruity that what should have been five people had been reduced to four.

All sorts of incongruities swirled around him as time passed. And finally, the world stopped again.

Yuseong-woo, recognizing this, rolled his eyes to check his surroundings, and then tried to move his body.

What is this trick? Is this also God’s will? Is this God’s damn will?

If so, I will resist that will. I will cut down fate and carry out my will!

Thinking that, he gathered strength from his whole body, and his body slowly began to move. It was an awkward movement, but he was the only one moving in a world where time seemed to have stopped.

Next, what was caught at the end of his gaze were four people sitting and resting and two people he had never seen before.

No, it wasn’t the first time. The moment he saw the little girl, his lost memories came back and anger surged.

Veronica, it’s Veronica. It’s a monster with Veronica’s soul.

The face of the man standing next to her could not be seen properly. It was as if fog had covered his face, making it impossible to look at him directly.

It’s them. They made a fool of me.

With that thought, Yuseong-woo drew his sword and strode forward. The other side also noticed this side and got up from their seats and drew their swords.

I know the skills of those four. Their movements are strange, but they can’t stop me with just that.

He kicked off the ground.

Yuseong-woo, who had reached them in an instant, swung his sword to cut off the head of the man whose face could not be seen properly.

However, he dodged the sword lightly and said. His voice was also full of noise [distorted sound], making it difficult to understand.

-I’m not your opponent.

Saying that, the man stepped back with Ollett, and the four rushed in, wielding their swords.

Light, Jane, Ayeon, Ledora.

They were the newcomers who introduced themselves like that. Their skills were among the lowest in the expedition.

They were looking at the wall to becoming a Swordmaster, but they hadn’t crossed it.

Yuseong-woo opened his mouth as he looked at them aiming their swords at him.

“Do you think you can defeat me with your skills?”

“……”

“Honestly, I don’t think it’ll work.”

“…It’ll be tough, right?”

“You should concentrate.”

The opponent is Yuseong-woo.

Yuseong-woo, who had not yet reached the level of divinity, was ‘relatively weak’.

Even so, he is strong enough to cut down the four in an instant. He is weakened by some kind of restriction, but if they are careless, his sword will try to cut off the necks of the four at once.

“Let’s do as we practiced. Then I’ll go first!”

Baek Woo-hyun stood on the front line.

He, who was covered in lightning, rushed out first and blurred the view.

He was the fastest of the four. Moreover, they had been practicing the ‘anti-Yuseong-woo battle’ for a long time.

With the determination to defeat him someday.

Yuseong-woo’s eyes rolled from moment to moment following Baek Woo-hyun’s speed, and then fixed his gaze forward.

He quickly judged the choice and concentration so that he would not be confused in vain.

After all, he had a keen sense that he could feel even without seeing it with his eyes.

“Kuaaaaaaa─!!”

Next, Hong Seo-hwa participated in the front line. He, who was covered in flames, faced Yuseong-woo head-on.

He wielded the sword in his hand, filled the surroundings with flames, and unfolded the Red Dragon Flame Dance Sword.

Fire dragons made of flames flickered and rushed towards Yuseong-woo.

Taking advantage of the gap, Baek Woo-hyun also stabbed his sword like lightning. A fire dragon in front and lightning in the back.

Disasters were coming from the front and back, but Yuseong-woo closed his eyes and swung his sword greatly.

At the same time, the swords of the two were deflected and their arms were raised, revealing their chests.

He says.

“The price for stealing the swordsmanship of the expedition members and making a fool of me. I will take it with your lives.”
