Swordmaster Wants to Live in Peace Episode 353

For the Sake of Peace (9)

As the saying goes.

The four, suddenly facing the past Yoo Seong-woo, once again wore expressions of astonishment at his strength.

Even with his body restricted, he wielded his sword as if it were nothing, putting immense pressure on them.

It was then that the four realized the true source of Yoo Seong-woo’s strength.

His strength came not only from his talent for swordsmanship but, more importantly, from his indomitable ‘fighting spirit’.

Even when faced with adversity, he didn’t despair but sought a way out.

The single-minded determination to kill before being killed was palpable. The emotion contained in his sword was purely murderous intent and unwavering fighting spirit.

That was Yoo Seong-woo’s greatest strength: a never-yielding heart that doesn’t despair, even when facing overwhelming odds.

“Kugh!”

Yoo Seong-woo’s sword swung with tremendous force. Again, his sword aimed for Baek Woo-hyun’s vitals, but Choi Ah-yeon, intervening at the perfect moment, blocked it.

Hong Seo-hwa swung her sword, aiming for his back, but Yoo Seong-woo dodged by bending his body with surprising agility.

“Damn it! Does he have eyes in the back of his head?! How did he dodge that?!”

A curse escaped involuntarily.

Yoo Seong-woo’s sword shot like a ray of light toward Hong Seo-hwa, who had swung her sword in vain. This time, Yoo Ji-woo stepped forward and deflected it with the Hae Wol Sword [Sea Moon Sword, a family heirloom].

She frowned and bit her lip.

‘It hurts even to deflect it!’

Yoo Seong-woo, having deflected the swords of all four and launched a counterattack, stepped back to assess the situation.

That greatly wounded the pride of the four. He was aware of the current Yoo Seong-woo and Veronica, who weren’t participating in the battle, even with them right in front of him.

“Damn it, this is kind of embarrassing.”

“It doesn’t seem like the plan is working? It looks like we need to make some adjustments. I’ll go first this time. I’ll try to hold him down somehow…”

Originally, Baek Woo-hyun and Hong Seo-hwa were supposed to alternate at the front line, but now that they knew that wasn’t effective.

The person who could definitely tie him down had to step forward. The current Yoo Seong-woo, the annoying one, was just watching with a smile and didn’t seem like he was going to help.

“I’m going!”

Yoo Ji-woo pushed off the ground and channeled her magic power. Magic power surged around her and spread in all directions, and a moon made of magic circles rose.

Yoo Seong-woo had already seen the Hae Wol Sword. It was a paltry sea, far weaker than his own Hae Wol Sword.

Yoo Seong-woo also countered her Hae Wol Sword with his own. His red aura overflowed, creating a blood-red sea, and raised a moon that looked like a savage eye.

The overbearing sea pressured Yoo Ji-woo. Her sea transformed precariously, as if it would be swallowed by Yoo Seong-woo’s overwhelming sea in an instant.

However, Yoo Ji-woo took a long breath, straightened her sword, and focused her eyes.

To avoid being swallowed by Yoo Seong-woo’s sea, she needed to complete her own sea.

She couldn’t be dragged around in Yoo Seong-woo’s shadow, in his sea, forever. Having built her own small sea on top of Yoo Seong-woo’s sea, she took a step forward and extended her sword.

Hae Wol Sword

Half Moon

In accordance with the movement of the sword that fell, drawing a half-moon from the top of her head, the waves surged greatly.

Yoo Seong-woo also countered with the same technique. An arc, even stronger and sharper than Yoo Ji-woo’s, clashed with her waves, causing them to rise.

The two waves collided between them, and the result was, of course, that Yoo Ji-woo’s wave was pushed back.

However, she compensated for her shortcomings with the power of magic.

The magic that poured out as the magic circle rotated violently pushed back Yoo Seong-woo’s wave and firmly defended her own territory.

Subsequently, chains poured out from the magic circle, approaching from Yoo Seong-woo’s blind spot. It was a secret magic that targeted only the moment when their vision was obscured when the waves collided.

“Now!”

At the same time as Yoo Ji-woo’s shout, Yoo Seong-woo’s arms and legs were bound by chains. The remaining three, who had been watching for an opportunity, rushed in immediately, but Yoo Seong-woo burst out an aura from his entire body, smashed the chains, and hurled the three far away to the floor with just his energy.

He had activated his aura armor.

He gasped for breath and unleashed aura from his entire body.

The murderous aura had a savage intensity that seemed to grind everything it touched.

“I’ll kill you all.”

Yoo Seong-woo, holding a bright red sword, strode forward and condensed aura into the sword. As the aura that gradually gathered on the sword rotated and formed a spiral, a strong momentum that seemed to pierce through anything was felt.

The four, who groaned and rose from their seats, looked at him and thought the same thing.

‘Monster.’

‘When we turn him into an enemy… that’s what he looks like.’

‘…Difficult.’

The despair that they couldn’t win consumed them. They knew they shouldn’t think that way, but natural fear enveloped them.

“Hoo.”

Among them, one stood up. Yoo Ji-woo, with a determined expression, stood in front of him, firmly gripping her sword.

Then, she slowly opened her mouth.

“Oppa [term of endearment for older brother or male friend], you’re as strong as I thought. To the point where we can’t even compare.”

She could tell after clashing swords a few times. What kind of life he had lived, what kind of efforts he had made to build his current strength.

His emotions were conveyed through the sword. She felt a strong will to cut through this irrational situation with her own sword because she couldn’t accept it.

“There’s no reason for me to be called Oppa by someone like you.”

Yoo Seong-woo took a stance.

As if he was going to settle the score with his swordsmanship, an intense energy swirled around him and gathered into the sword. Seeing this, the current Yoo Seong-woo chuckled and advised.

“You might die if you don’t dodge. But if you block it, you might be able to seize an opportunity…”

A word that was hard to tell if it was advice or not.

Hearing his words, the four chose to confront him rather than run away.

Because they felt like if they ran away now, they would never be able to stand before him again.

The four, with determined expressions, took a stance for the sword technique.

They were going to pour all their strength into a single opportunity.

Intense energy rose from their bodies. The magic power that began to gush out from their entire bodies overflowed, revealing their respective colors.

Yoo Ji-woo, who stood at the very front of them, took a deep breath and straightened her will along with her sword.

“Yeah, how can I stand next to Oppa if I can’t even overcome this kind of wall? As his sister.”

Yoo Ji-woo, who muttered that, gathered the magic power she had been pouring out and unfolded her sea.

The magic power pouring out from her, who had taken a step, was a dense magic power, different from what it had been until now.

“Oppa told me to complete my own sea. That’s the true Hae Wol Sword.”

Yoo Ji-woo listened to Yoo Seong-woo and thought about it all along. What is her sea, her world?

What form should it take, and what characteristics should it possess? Even during the war with the monsters, her thoughts never ceased.

Where does her sea flow, and where does it stop?

Where does my world begin and where does it end?

Just as seawater falls as rain, flows as a river, and becomes the sea again.

Recognizing that all living things live in a cycle, she decided to take a step to complete her world.

“My world, my sea, is.”

It exists for you.

It was the sea of a girl who longed for and waited for you alone for years, missing you.

As Yoo Ji-woo’s sword gently drew a circle, the magic power that poured out became a raging wave, forming a sea.

It was different from the Hae Wol Sword she had unfolded until now.

All she could unfold was a shallow sea.

But the sea she unfolded now was a sea with a deep color, even if it was shallow.

The water level rose to people’s knees. The seawater lapped and tickled their knees. As if it had a real substance.

“W-wait, what is this?!”

It was Hong Seo-hwa who first noticed the strangeness. She frowned at the seawater that suddenly lapped at her knees.

The others were also flustered by the suddenly filled seawater, but they focused their attention on Yoo Ji-woo.

She was now undergoing ‘evolution’. She was taking a step forward from a simple swordsman and building her own world.

Even though she had not yet entered the ranks of Swordmaster, she was building a unique world with a clear image through the Hae Wol Sword.

The world has changed.

Yoo Ji-woo’s magic power was insufficient to cover the world, but her world certainly revealed its appearance.

The lapping sea was a deep blue color, and the blue moon floating in the sky above seemed to reflect the sea as it was.

A blue moon floating in the blue sky.

It was a half-baked unique world that only implemented half of the image, but it was clearly full of force enough to overwhelm everyone.

Yoo Ji-woo, standing on the sea that tickled her knees, exhaled the breath she had inhaled and said.

Her arms and legs were trembling and her mind was dizzy with dizziness as she squeezed out the magic power of her entire body to build the world.

But she had to say what she had to say.

“I learned all of this from Oppa. So take it once. What Oppa taught me.”

[Unique World]

[Blue Sea, Jade Moon, Yearning for Sister (靑海碧月戀妹)]

This world is the world of those who yearn. It was the world of the heart that had been cherished for years, holding a heart like a lapping sea and looking up at the lonely moon in the sky.

“Then, I’ll go, Oppa.”

She, who revealed her heart as a world, kicked off the surface of the water and rushed towards Yoo Seong-woo.

She goes to clash her heart.

Every time she, who fearlessly revealed her heart not only to the past Yoo Seong-woo but also to the present Yoo Seong-woo, took a step, the three people standing behind her also followed forward.

The waves of the rippling sea gently pushed their backs, so they, who were in a wedge shape centered on Yoo Ji-woo, firmly held their swords and unfolded their best moves.

First, Yoo Ji-woo’s sword fell. The blue full moon hanging on the tip of the sword distorted the space as it fell with her sword.

Hae Wol Sword (海月劍)

Ultimate – Falling Moon (落月)

The ultimate of the Hae Wol Sword.

The last move of the Hae Wol Sword, which Yoo Seong-woo had not reached.

The moon floating on the sea slowly landed and collided with Yoo Seong-woo’s sword, which had just been drawn, and a huge pillar of water soared tens of meters due to the shock wave that erupted.

While Yoo Ji-woo was flying backwards, unable to overcome the recoil, three swords cut through the pillar of water and flew towards Yoo Seong-woo.

The sword containing the full thunderbolt flashed and scattered the sword light, and the sword wrapped in deep red flames summoned the fire dragon.

The dark dagger wrapped in shadows sharply aimed for the vitals.

Nevertheless, Yoo Seong-woo did not fall. No matter what injuries he sustained, he simply wielded his sword.

The intense desire that he could not fall in a place like this made him move.

However, his fighting spirit did not last long. His body was heavy due to the seawater, and the consumption of aura was extreme. He was injured and his strength was gradually fading.

And, in the very small gap that occurred when he barely wielded his sword and pushed back Hong Seo-hwa’s sword.

Yoo Ji-woo pushed her sword in.

“It’s over, Oppa.”
