Chapter Title: Still Something Left to Show Me?
----------------------------------------------------------------- ◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ 1.
A water ghost confidently surging onto the surface.
Its head fell with a single sword stroke.
"???"
"Weak...?"
Humans are weak on water.
The water ghosts fell into chaos at the sight denying this obvious truth.
It might have been luck the first time.
But the second water ghost also lost its head to a single stroke, and only then did they realize.
They shouldn't judge this human by ordinary human standards.
They had even underestimated her on land.
The ignorant horde charging in burst like used-up balloons.
Thud thud thud.
Water ghosts have learning ability too.
They changed their attack direction, ramming the boat from underwater instead of the surface, targeting the boat rather than the human.
It would be hard to keep balance on the wildly rocking boat.
One water ghost that jumped to that premature conclusion poked its head out again.
Slash.
No exceptions.
A stable stance, as if glue had been applied to her feet.
They had to collapse those accursed legs.
Splat!
Water ghost ranged troops surfaced a short distance away and spat venom.
Melt or dodge.
Forcing one or the other.
That surefire ambush was blocked by a corpse.
"!!"
Sword tip.
A water ghost corpse impaled on the blade tip.
The corpse raised like a shield was moments from melting in the poison.
Splash!
The corpse plunged underwater exploded beneath the surface.
A slender body unlike her skill.
Poison filled the water ghosts' eyes.
Drag her into the water first.
Even a land powerhouse would hit its limit once in the water.
Then she'd be stained with blood, bloated in the water, and degenerate into one of them.
The thrill of turning a strong, beautiful human into an ugly half-demon kin like themselves made the water ghosts bubble with excitement.
The water ghosts communicating joyfully underwater panicked.
Their kin spitting bubbles to communicate.
There were far too few of them.
Why?
When did they all disappear?
A long spear pierced the head of the confused water ghost.
Blurble.
The water ghost trembled, spewing long bubbles.
So that's what it was. 💬 Comments — No seriously what can't she do with one sword Using corpses, picking up spears, this is omnipotent — There was a reason she only brought basic items lol With a magic sword like that, you don't need anything else — Silent Swordmaster's basic sword = magic sword, our basic sword = low attack trash Crits make attack power irrelevant lol — You think crits land when I want them to? F*ck Every time water ghosts collided with the boat,
the spears scavenged from corpses between them somehow ended up in Hae Eung-eung's hands.
And stabbed into water ghost heads.
Water refraction, shaky balance, shocks transmitted to the boat.
Numerous adverse conditions.
A crisis where survival wasn't guaranteed.
Even in the midst of it, she didn't lose her composure.
The red river.
The water ghost lair reeking of blood.
That despairing color was no longer human terror, but water ghost terror.
'A boat is a fortress on the sea. No matter how small the ferry, as long as I'm here, I won't yield it easily.' 💬 Comments — She's insane Naval combat pro too?? — That ain't a ferry, it's a mini turtle ship modded to hell Glue on her feet? Stability OP — Anyone can see it's a flimsy ferry but why's it holding up so well? Until the water ghosts poured out from the canal prison along the river, the scene looked like it was on the brink of collapse.
It was a crisis.
Just that the ones in crisis weren't the Silent Swordmaster, but the water ghosts. 📰 Sponsor National Pride Swordsman Ihechan sponsored 10,000 won! Her sense of balance is insane. Even ignoring everything else, her posture never crumbling like someone born in water—I can't match that. — For real Silent Swordmaster, what can't you do! — She can't see the chat Can't stream long — Can't do sub reactions Looking at it this way, aside from sucking at swordplay she does everything well!! The tension vanished,
filled only with water ghost terror,
a massacre on the boat.
Repeated ally deaths and
visible defeat blinding them with shame and fear rising endlessly.
The moment that fear crossed a line.
The water ghosts began swimming furiously. 💬 Comments — ? ? Where they going? — Holy sh*t water ghosts are running away? A crazy swordmaster solo'd over 100, how wouldn't they run! Not toward the ferry,
but toward the interior of the Blood Canal Facility. — This is the raid you chose. Tank it with grit Your next water ghost suicide bomber — Suicide bomber sharing defeatist talk already lol World's improved, water ghost bombers typing in chat lol Collective rout.
Enemy before fleeing.
Instead of the riverbank filled with water ghost corpses.
The water ghosts vanished into the underground canal of the facility.
Rumble—
—Thud!
In case Hae Eung-eung pursued,
iron bars dropped to block the canal,
and
"Kieeeek!!"
"Kyaaak!!"
the water ghosts that failed to pass through pounded and shook the bars, screaming.
Splash.
The sound of water parting behind such water ghosts.
The ferry guarded by the one-against-hundred swordmaster approaching, rowing with a scavenged spear as an oar.
The Executioner on the river.
"Kiiiiieeeeek!!"
"Kyaak, guk, gruk..."
At the sight of kin dying miserably.
Even the water ghosts who fled beyond the bars trembled.
"Kuwaaak!"
One individual raising its voice among them.
An elite armored water ghost clad in helmet and armor.
At its command, water ghosts ambushed beyond the sluice gate raised their heads in unison.
'Tactics?'
Hae Eung-eung let out a hollow laugh.
The wisdom humans wield against monsters.
Now monsters using it against her.
Who was human and who monster anymore.
Myriad black dots soaring into the sky.
Filling her raised gaze,
small dots grew into a barrage of javelins.
Kwabangkwakwa!
Crack!
The ferry bristling with spikes like a turtle ship at sea,
no room to stand.
Seeing the sinking boat, the armored water ghost roared.
"Kuwaaaak! Kuwa.. gruk?!"
Spear shaft hooked on the armored water ghost's leg.
The panicked armored water ghost tried to shake it off,
but the sticky spiderweb-like spear ruthlessly toppled its balance.
"Kuaaaak!"
With a wretched scream, the armored water ghost plummeted beyond the sluice gate.
In its place appeared delicate jade-like hands.
Hae Eung-eung.
She kicked off the boat and climbed onto the dock.
"!!"
Seven water ghost remnants.
Fifty elite water ghost soldiers guarding the Blood Canal Facility interior.
Terror rose on their faces in unison.
Hesitate.
Flinch.
Every step Hae Eung-eung advanced,
the water ghosts retreated a step.
She was the Executioner.
One who executed every visible half-demon.
Every invisible half-demon too.
Rooting out and slaying them all.
No matter how diluted or insignificant the blood,
never permitting survival.
A natural predator in human skin,
moving for yokai extermination.
If she massacred water-affinity water ghosts even on water.
Was there reason she couldn't in the canal facility.
'No more places to run.'
Blood-drenched sword.
Shoes soaked in water ghost fluids.
Her, dressed like a water ghost returned from hell.
Hae Eung-eung lifted her bamboo hat with one hand.
'Well. Is there still something left to show me?'
Now neither half-demons nor viewers.
No one could deny it.
Water ghost sweep phase 3.
Canal facility infiltration battle.
Who was favored in 57 against 1.

Splash dmg brutal sorrymomsorrymomsorrymom The chat chaos seeming endless calmed down once [Story Mode] began. 💬 Comments — More gross fish heads Why go underground? Usually go to execution platform in center The underground prison of the Blood Canal Facility.
Where the source of faint screams carried by the wind was imprisoned.
A half-demon with a fish head lashed the iron bars with a whip, berating. "The humans who tormented you, all drowned and turned to monsters." "The human commander who forced human sacrifices, made the same." "No more laundry till hands blister." "No more work for money." "The clothes you want." "Food too." "Anything you desire, I'll grant." ⟨ And yet you refuse me! ⟩ The woman in the prison cell who wouldn't stop crying.
The half-fish half-human half-demon going mad at the sight, swinging the whip wildly.
The bending bars made it seem the prison wasn't confining her, but protecting her. "Kieeek! Kieek! Ki... Kek?!" "Insolent diluted blood pest dares! I told you not to wander underground without permission!" ⟨ ! ⟩ The whip lashing the bars flew off to decapitate the water ghost centurion appearing to report. 💬 Comments — ? ? Why's he dead? — Water ghost centurion from reinforcement pattern? What happening?? The collapsing headless corpse.
The spreading toxic gas dispersed in an instant with a heavy sword hum. "Human!" ⟨ ! ⟩ The Silent Swordmaster who swept the Blood Canal Facility with one sword.
Her appearance.
The half-demon glaring as if to kill immediately.
Spotting the Silent Swordmaster's face, it blinked then grinned widely. "Your face is quite pretty." ⟨ ! ⟩ 💬 Comments — Huh? That guy? Looked different didn't recognize, that's the boss right? Blood Canal boss? — Yeah the gross one endlessly spawning minions in underground prison Why male tho? IDK Viewers confused by the boss's differing appearance from memory.
Their confusion.
Turned irrelevant with the boss's next line. "Won't you become this yokai's bride?" ⟨ ? ⟩ 💬 Comments — Wtf lol Hitomi time Lose = NTR angle? — Starting worship of great half-demon lord today Big dick worship? Crazy bastards lol — Bigdickworship lololol The chat that had quieted watching the story excitedly reignited like fire. ◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
