Swordmaster Wants to Live in Peace Episode 38

Sword Demon (4)

Yuseongwoo strolled across the land.

Dressed in comfortable clothes, as if armor was a mere luxury, with a sword in one hand.

A light breeze tickled his hair.

“It’s been a while since I’ve felt like this…”

How long has it been?

Since he stood on a battlefield like this, alone.

When he thought about it, he realized it hadn’t been that long.

Just recently, he was in a similar situation on the battlefield against the Demon God.

The comrades he was with had either left or were all dead, and he alone confronted the Demon God.

The pressure then was immense.

He swung his sword with the single thought that he couldn’t die here, a mindset that could be seen as reaching the state of oneness with the sword.

But now, he didn’t feel that much pressure.

Even though all the Towel Tribe [likely a reference to a specific group or clan in this world] behind him would die if he lost.

Perhaps even humans would die if it spread to Earth.

Still, the reason he didn’t feel burdened was because he didn’t think he would lose.

Yuseongwoo raised his sword. The Sword Demon and hundreds of monsters were approaching him.

He could see quite a few with black blades, as if they had been given fragments [presumably fragments of a powerful, corrupting force].

“…Have a good one, Ilsaeng [likely the name of his sword].”

Yuseongwoo tapped Ilsaeng with his finger and took a stance.

He pulled the sword towards him and gathered his energy.

The energy that spread throughout his body with his heartbeat gathered back into his heart and was pushed into the sword.

Ilsaeng, filled with energy, trembled and cried softly.

It sounded like a confident cry, as if asking to be released.

‘No, it’s not time yet.’

But Yuseongwoo didn’t release the gathered power and waited for the moment.

The shadow of black storm clouds covering the sky enveloped Yuseongwoo.

The burnt land of the Towel Tribe turned even darker, and all that could be seen were the red monsters wriggling around.

He slowly closed and opened his eyes.

Then, Ilsaeng’s red blade emitted a bright light, sharply illuminating the dark world.

“Hoo…”

He took a long breath.

Red light, and red breath.

Yuseongwoo’s black hair was momentarily dyed red, emitting an intense aura.

The monsters, seeing the red energy that seemed to push away even the dark sky, began to flock.

Kicking off the ground, scattering dirt.

The burnt ashes swirled in the wind they created.

Yuseongwoo watched them and slowly took a step.

The world was split in half by the red sword.

A flash of light.

The red light adorned Yuwol’s vision far away.

And it was the same for the monsters.

Speed that could not be reacted to, and a strike that could not be blocked.

The red light that flashed in the darkness was drawn as a line on the bodies of the monsters along with the earth.

When Yuseongwoo took his second step, he was gone.

He had reached the Sword Demon in an instant with tremendous speed, not even leaving an afterimage.

Kaaaaaang—!!

A sound that seemed to turn the world upside down echoed.

It was the sound of the Sword Demon blocking Yuseongwoo’s Ilsaeng.

But the Sword Demon was the only one who could block his sword.

The other monsters standing in front of him were all chopped up and scattered on the floor.

Body fluids and flesh fell to the ground with a squelching sound, and at the same time, the gust of wind created by Yuseongwoo belatedly blew, causing the blood and flesh to soar in the opposite direction.

Rain of blood and flesh falling upside down.

Yuseongwoo looked at the Sword Demon, who had blocked his sword by crossing two swords.

“I was going to cut them all at once, but it’s a shame.”

“…You, that guy. The impudent swordsman who blocked this body’s path.”

A buzzing voice spread through the air.

How can he speak without a mouth?

Anyway.

Kagagagagagang!

There was no need for long words. They came to kill each other, so why would they need to talk?

The Sword Demon’s twin swords and Yuseongwoo’s Ilsaeng were swung dozens of times per second, creating sparks.

The Sword Demon wielded two swords, but Yuseongwoo had only one.

The skill to flexibly receive the opponent’s sword with just one sword.

Yuseongwoo reaffirmed that his senses were still alive and swung his sword in succession.

The subtly twisted sword path dug into the Sword Demon’s twin swords, creating wounds.

A tilted cross-shaped wound was engraved on the Sword Demon’s chest.

The monster was noticeably embarrassed when he was wounded. It was because he had never been properly wounded before.

The Sword Demon jumped back to create distance, but Yuseongwoo continued to follow.

The Sword Demon unfolded a sword screen.

He spread out sword energy containing his energy like a net to prevent Yuseongwoo from approaching.

“You’re quite good for a tool.”

Seeing this, Yuseongwoo grabbed Ilsaeng with both hands and swung it from top to bottom, cutting through the net.

Taking advantage of the gap where the net of sword energy failed to do its job and was torn, the Sword Demon thrust his twin swords forward.

Yuseongwoo quickly raised his sword vertically, blocking the ends of the twin swords with the blade, and then extended his sword while deflecting it to the side.

Wounds were once again engraved on the Sword Demon’s body by his sword.

A straight line engraved on the tilted cross created a new symbol.

The battle that took place in a time reached only after dividing a second into dozens of parts.

The Sword Demon pushed Yuseongwoo away by releasing energy around himself.

Yuseongwoo, who stepped back while brushing off the sudden energy wave with his sword, was about to rush in again, but stopped when he saw the Sword Demon.

“Look at this.”

The reason Yuseongwoo stopped moving was none other than the Sword Demon’s stance.

He thought he was just a monster swinging his sword around recklessly, but now he was trying to use swordsmanship.

The left hand was pulled back slightly for defense, and the right hand was extended for attack.

The right foot was forward, and the left foot was back.

It wasn’t difficult to recognize that it was a preparation stance for twin swordsmanship.

It was a familiar stance.

Too familiar, a stance he had seen many times.

“You are the first to use this. I don’t like using human things…”

Yuseongwoo ignored the Sword Demon’s words and searched through his memories.

And soon he remembered.

The name of that swordsmanship and the face of the man who used it.

“Lenoir of the Twin Cliff Sword. And the Twin Cliff Sword is a swordsmanship of one-person inheritance…”

“It seems you know this body’s master. Kahaha! I will tear you apart and kill you with this swordsmanship!”

The Sword Demon said.

He had devoured the master of the body and would even use his swordsmanship.

Yuseongwoo felt strength entering the hand holding Ilsaeng.

Following that, anger filled his mind. But it quickly subsided.

He had trained his mind for a long time so as not to be swayed by such things.

Instead, he said.

“Your identity is Beren’s demonic sword, Jeron. The hideous demonic sword that Lenoir carried around.”

Yuseongwoo remembered.

The day he met Lenoir.

He was a pretty decent man. He was easy to talk to and had a mind that knew how to care for others.

It meant that he was a surprisingly conscientious person in a collapsing world.

There were many crazy people around Yuseongwoo who had no consideration, so he remained in his memory with a good impression.

“A human from outside, do you know this body?”

“How could I not know? You son of a bitch. I’m the one who defeated Lenoir, who was corrupted in Beren.”

Yes, he was a really good man.

Except for the fact that he couldn’t acknowledge his own skills and ended up becoming a walking disaster as a result of wielding a demonic sword.

In Yuseongwoo’s view, Lenoir was a talented man.

If he hadn’t succumbed to the temptation of the demonic sword and had focused more on training, he would have surely set foot in the realm of Swordmaster.

But he was also a pitiful person who couldn’t endure that little bit and despaired at the wall.

Demonic swords dig into the weak parts of such humans.

They dig into the emotions of despairing humans and induce corruption.

Lenoir succumbed to Jeron’s temptation, and eventually Jeron devoured Lenoir.

Lenoir, dominated by the demonic sword, walked around and cut down everything he saw.

From the moment the number of people he killed exceeded a hundred, he began to be called the ‘Calamity of the Sword.’

“What? Then you’re…”

And, many mercenaries came forward to kill Lenoir, who was declared a disaster.

The mercenaries, blinded by gold, saying he was just a guy possessed by a demonic sword, only became sacrifices to strengthen the demonic sword.

Not long after all the mercenaries who went to hunt the demonic sword disappeared, Yuseongwoo stepped forward.

The reason he stepped forward was nothing special.

He was blocking the path he had to take, and he had heard the news that Lenoir had been devoured by the demonic sword.

“How are you here? I clearly shattered you into pieces.”

Yuseongwoo said, aiming Ilsaeng at the Sword Demon, or rather Jeron.

Like Sanwang, Jeron also appeared in the Abyss [likely a dangerous realm or dimension] in a different form from when he faced them.

“Ha, haha! Hahaha!”

Jeron answered Yuseongwoo’s question not with an answer, but with laughter.

The laughter, full of madness befitting a demonic sword, echoed loudly across the plains.

Then, he spat out arrogance.

“I haven’t forgotten the humiliation of that time. That’s why I’m so happy at this moment! The fact that I can tear you apart and kill you myself!”

“Answer the question. Why are you here?”

“You too! But I won’t ask! There’s only one thing I have to do now!”

Jeron kicked off the ground and rushed in.

Following that, the Twin Cliff Sword unfolded from the Sword Demon’s hands.

The Twin Cliff Sword that the Sword Demon unfolded was more elaborate and overbearing than the one Lenoir had unfolded.

It was because he had devoured everything about Lenoir and had excellent physical abilities.

Yuseongwoo deflected or blocked the twin swords that had begun to rush in rapidly from both sides.

The Twin Cliff Sword, as the name suggests, is an overbearing sword that splits cliffs with two swords.

The rushing twin swords were like sheer cliffs.

Sharp and heavy.

It was a sword that seemed to crush you to death with its weight just by facing it.

The Sword Demon, thinking that he had completely gained the upper hand, unleashed all sorts of Twin Cliff Sword techniques and put pressure on him.

“Kyahahahaha, kyahahahaha!! Die, die! Die! I’ll cut your body into 1,200 pieces!”

“…”

The intense unpleasantness felt every time the swords collided.

It was partly thanks to the demonic sword’s ability, but there was one more reason why it was so unpleasant.

The fact that the guy in front of him was insulting Lenoir.

Furthermore, he insulted the swordsmanship that Lenoir had honed throughout his life.

“…I’ll definitely smash you this time. So you can’t even put it back together.”

“Let’s see if you can do that! Keuhahahahahaha-!!”

Twin Cliff Sword 2nd Form – Claw Mark

Jeron unfolds the Twin Cliff Sword’s form. Two swords soared diagonally, chasing Yuseongwoo.

Yuseongwoo, on the other hand, lowered his sword and engaged in a power struggle.

However, Jeron had the upper hand in pure strength, so Ilsaeng, which was pressing down on the two swords, was lifted up slightly.

Jeron, not missing the gap, unleashed the Twin Cliff Sword’s forms in succession.

Twin Cliff Sword 5th Form – Dragon Riding Mark

Twin Cliff Sword 8th Form – Twin Dragon Body Mark

5th Form and 8th Form.

It was a choice of extreme forms overflowing with the will to kill Yuseongwoo.

Jeron, who showed off a bizarre sword that forcibly unfolded forms that could not originally be connected with just his physical abilities, did not doubt his victory.

Yuseongwoo was busy blocking the two forms.

He showed a big gap while blocking the Twin Dragon Body Mark.

Jeron crossed his twin swords and infused his energy into them before unleashing the final form.

Twin Cliff Sword Secret Art – Cliff

Splitting a cliff with two swords.

The moment the sword that was cutting down from top to bottom with unimaginable power, different from anything before, unfolded, a whirlwind blew.

The plains were split in half, and when you looked at the sky, even the storm clouds were split in half and moved to fill the empty space.

“Kyahahahaha!”

Jeron laughed.

It was because Yuseongwoo’s appearance, which appeared from the dust, was a mess.

Blood was dripping down his right arm holding the sword, as if it was injured.

His whole body was covered in dirt and the body fluids of the monsters he had just killed.
