Swordmaster Wants to Live Peacefully Episode 86

The Grand Lotus (11)

Heavenly Fortune Fairy, Kim Yun-ju, had recently received a message from Yoo Seong-woo.

It was a threat, not a request, to cooperate with him.

She had heard from the Heavenly God about what kind of person Yoo Seong-woo was, so she willingly bowed her head.

A being that could not be opposed by the power of a human standing on this earth.

That was Yoo Seong-woo to Kim Yun-ju.

“It’s a relief it’s nothing much….”

Yoo Seong-woo had only asked her for one thing.

A rainmaking ritual.

He wanted her to bring rain to the entire Bukhansan Mountain.

Kim Yun-ju was also troubled by the elves gathering in Bukhansan, so she gladly performed the ritual to bring rain to the entire mountain.

“Please come inside.”

“I suppose I should.”

At the servant’s words, Kim Yun-ju nodded and moved her steps inside the building.

The peak where the shrine was located was hidden by a special barrier of the gods, so the elves could not reach it.

She had even cooperated with Yoo Seong-woo as he wished, so now she just had to quietly avoid the storm of blood that would rage here.

The fact that she could only watch as countless flames of life were extinguished was regrettable, but….

Kim Yun-ju personally supported what Yoo Seong-woo was doing.

Bukhansan was her territory.

The fact that another race, not even another person, had come and settled there was quite unpleasant.

‘So many deaths will pass through Bukhansan….’

She could only hope that the elves would die and not become wandering spirits in Bukhansan.

The battlefield in the rain was quite nice.

It was even better when the rain was so heavy that feet sank deep, it was difficult to distinguish between front and back, and even the senses were confused.

‘Other people didn’t like it, though.’

A mountain or forest where rain poured down fiercely.

Yoo Seong-woo’s favorite battlefield was such a place.

A place where all kinds of sounds were buried in the rain, the field of vision was narrow, and even movement was difficult.

All those penalties applied to him as well, but for a Swordmaster, they were not penalties.

A war fiend who had been through all kinds of battlefields.

His ability to survive even in harsh environments made this his strength.

Yoo Seong-woo walked through the forest where drizzling rain fell.

The rain was pouring so heavily that the raindrops rushing through the leaves soaked him from head to toe.

His hair was wet and drooped down.

Through the parted hair, Yoo Seong-woo’s eyes shone red, and he began to pick up speed.

There was no sound of splashing as he stepped into puddles.

No, it was just too small to be heard.

Even an elf with good hearing would have difficulty catching such a sound in this rain.

He lowered his stance and melted into the rain.

His presence gradually faded.

Like a faint ghost, he hid in the forest.

From now on, the hunt begins.

* * *

The place where the elves settled was where the Bukhansanseong Fortress [a mountain fortress in Bukhansan] was lined up.

There were many places that were broken here and there due to the monsters that occasionally popped out of Bukhansan, but the merit of being surrounded by the forest was certain.

The elves were planning to set up a base around that place and deal with intruders.

Traps were sufficiently prepared.

Magical traps and physical traps in various places that would be activated if one stepped in without thinking.

The elves clearly understood who their enemy was.

Swordmaster.

A formidable expert who could easily defeat the elves’ Swordmaster, Seijak.

In the base made of tents, Beyorgan was suffering from anxiety.

He will come, that bastard will come.

‘……Failed.’

The assassination using the elite of the elves had failed.

He urgently dispatched assassins when he heard that the guy was entering the Abyss and starting the attack.

It was a level 2 Abyss, not a normal Abyss, so they judged that assassination was possible while the guy was struggling fighting monsters.

But it failed.

Thanks to the fact that a level 2 Abyss or a low-level Abyss was similar to Yoo Seong-woo.

“Damn humans….”

Beyorgan trembled with anxiety and slammed his head on the table.

But there was still hope left.

Because there was a hidden weapon prepared. If they could safely receive it, they could kill everything, including the Swordmaster.

As Beyorgan was terrified, an elf hurriedly entered the tent and said.

“Elder, it seems there is a hole in the barrier. It was quickly restored, but the intruder has not been identified.”

“A hole in the barrier?”

“Yes. It’s a small hole. Just enough for one person to pass through.”

“……Intruder, it’s him, it’s him, he’s coming! Tell them to raise the alert level immediately! He’s coming!”

At Beyorgan’s fierce reaction, the elf nodded and went outside the tent.

At the same time, a pattering sound began to be heard.

He raised his head and smiled slightly.

“The heavens are helping.”

It started to rain.

For elves, a battlefield in the rain was the best battlefield.

The sniping technique of hiding in the rain and shooting arrows containing the energy of spirits was the elves’ most proud skill.

Listening to the sound of the rain, it would not stop for a while, and the loud sounds of hitting various places would erase the elves’ presence.

“……Yoo Seong-woo.”

That bastard will die today.

He will kill him no matter what.

Beyorgan clenched his fist tightly and closed his eyes to concentrate.

The spirits spread throughout the mountain gave him all kinds of information.

The living creatures in the mountain.

The flows of nature.

They flowed in, and he soon caught one life reaction.

One unidentified being climbing the mountain at a rapid speed.

It must be Yoo Seong-woo.

* * *

‘I’ve been caught.’

He knew he would be caught before long.

Since the entire mountain was covered with spirits, there was no way he wouldn’t be caught.

He could have avoided being caught by concealing his presence, but he deliberately got caught.

Shouldn’t you know who you’re being hunted by, even if you’re being hunted?

“A little more, fainter, a little fainter…… Like melting away…….”

But getting caught for the first time was enough.

Yoo Seong-woo suppressed his presence even more.

He slowly melted into nature, to the point where even the spirits could not detect him.

‘……It’s very helpful that I learned so much in the past.’

The expedition team he led did not only have orthodox swordsmen.

Among them, there was also an assassin who used twin daggers.

There was one beastman who was the strongest in one-on-one combat on the premise of surprise attacks.

-Yes, Captain. Like that, a little more, a little deeper into the darkness…….

It was as if he could still hear the voice in his ear.

He recalled the face of his colleague who taught him how to melt into nature and darkness to assassinate, and found his first prey.

He was disguised by wearing a robe on a tree, but Yoo Seong-woo’s eyes, which searched for life, could not avoid it.

He quietly moves forward.

Lightly jumping in time with the sound of raindrops, he silently approached the elf and stabbed his sword into his neck from behind.

The life that had penetrated without resistance severed the elf’s neck bone.

The elf slumped down without even letting out a death cry.

Yoo Seong-woo received the elf’s corpse with one hand, hung it on a branch as it was, and kicked off again.

His feet and hands continued to move without rest.

Every time his hand moved, one life was extinguished without fail.

The elves prided themselves on being warriors who could fully demonstrate their abilities in this environment.

But the one facing them was a monster that was out of spec [beyond normal specifications].

A walking death is approaching.

The personified grim reaper with a red sword walks through the drizzling, heavy rain…….

Fear slowly began to spread like an epidemic among the elves.

As the presence of the elves in the front row disappeared one by one, the elves in the back refused to understand what was happening in their heads.

They were also warriors who had been through countless battlefields.

They were clear warriors who drew bows and swung swords.

They had never run away from the battlefield, but what was slowly approaching them and tightening their lives was an incomprehensible mystery.

Perhaps thinking that there was no need to hide anymore, an elf shot an arrow at Yoo Seong-woo, who was walking through the rain.

The arrow, empowered by the spirit, flew quickly, cutting through the raindrops.

The target is Yoo Seong-woo’s forehead.

But the arrow cuts through the air.

It futilely penetrates the spot where Yoo Seong-woo was and hits the tree behind.

But Yoo Seong-woo’s sword did not cut through the air.

It cut through the chest of the elf who shot the arrow, splattering blood.

Yoo Seong-woo, who was already covered in the blood of dozens of elves, muttered softly.

“I still like the rain…… The blood is washed away right away…….”

Muttering like a madman, he moved his steps again.

It was a step like a ghost.

The elves who saw their comrades falling at a rapid speed had no choice but to give up the battle.

Too strong.

Fast, and even the movements could not be followed with the eyes.

While they draw the bowstring once, Yoo Seong-woo kills two people.

The traps they had set up were useless.

If it’s a magic trap, he just cuts it down, and if it’s a physical trap, he just pushes through as if it’s useless.

“Re, retreat! Retreat!”

One elf finally shouted to retreat.

It was the result of judging that they could not stop Yoo Seong-woo with their current strength.

However, Yoo Seong-woo had no intention of letting them go.

He began to move a little faster.

That alone was full of signs that the situation on the battlefield was about to change.

The movement of raindrops falling from above to below changed.

From vertical to horizontal.

“Keuk…….”

“H, how…….”

“No way…….”

Almost simultaneously, the backs of three elves in different places were pierced and they fell down dead.

“Not yet, not yet…….”

A little faster.

A bright red line is drawn.

In the dark forest, the lines drawn in the muddy forest where rain is drizzling are three streaks of bright red.

A pair of red eyes.

And, a red sword that leaves the longest line.

Before long, the movement of the red line stopped.

And only the corpses of elves remained where the red line had passed.

* * *

“Elder, run, run away! He’s coming! Contact has been lost with all the elves who were on the front line!”

“……What?!”

At the words of the elf who hurriedly entered the tent, Beyorgan jumped up from his seat.

He had been constantly tracking his movements through the spirits, but there was no sign of that…….

‘……He even deceived the spirits?!

Is that possible for a human?

That?

Beyorgan could not believe it, so he frowned and said.

“No, we’ll deal with him here. There’s no further retreat for us.”

“Elder!”

“That bastard killed Swordmaster Seijak and the warriors one after another. Do you think we can retreat further from here?”

Now, he can no longer be stopped.

Beyorgan, who had come to that conclusion, said to the elf with a solemn face.

“Tell the warriors to prepare for the final war. We must kill that bastard here!”
