Absolute Sword Sense

of them walking near the coffin could be heard.
Fortunately, it didn’t seem like they would open it.

Based on what I had seen it seemed like their thoughts ended on the level of animals and not humans.
And I decided to hold on until they went out.

Clack!

‘…?!’

What was this sound?

I could hear the sound of something.

It made my heart startle.
But I couldn’t open the coffin yet.

What was this sound?

It was the–

Kikikiki!

The sound was coming right from the coffin as I lay down and felt vibrations.

There was a hole near the head side of the coffin and when I looked up I saw that it was close to open now.
This was something I hadn’t noticed.

There was the sound of water flowing in.

‘What?’

Flustered, I grabbed the top part and tried to open it, however, it didn’t move as if it was locked.

“Why is it not opening!”

As the sound of the water got closer, I began to punch it with the fist

Bang! Bang!

With all my might but all that fell was a scratch on the coffin.
Yet I couldn’t give up.

“AHHHH!’

Bang! Bang!

But this coffin was made of unusual stone.

No matter how much I hit, it was only being scratched but never budged open.

And then–

Grrrr!

“Huk!”

Something like liquid surged in emitting an odd and foul odor as it quickly filled in.
I was imprisoned in the coffin I stepped into and I was going to die.

My knuckles were bleeding but the lid wasn’t opening!

“Huh!”

Eventually this liquid began to fill in and I couldn’t see anymore.
I couldn’t punch anymore as the water felt heavy to move it and with time passing the foul smelling liquid entered my nose and I could feel it sticking to the stomach.

“Grrrrr!”

‘Will I die like this?’

This was a vain death.
And absurd too!

‘I cannot die here!’

Using the remaining Will within the body I kicked it in all sorts of places and right then.

Crack!

The bottom part of the coffin broke open and I moved down.
Startled, I struggled to find something with my hands but the wall was slick with this liquid.

Drrr!

I slipped down and fell.

“Kuak!”

The liquid which entered my body was being coughed out as I looked around and this was a wider space than the coffin but narrow to stand up.

-Holes?

As Short Sword said, there were many holes around.

-Wonhwi! Break them down and get out!

I was thinking the same, I was already too anxious with so many unknown things happening around so I kicked it.

Bang!

The wall shook.

No, it was correct to say that the entire space was shaking.
It felt strange for it to shake as if something was put against it.

The space was small but better than the coffin so I had to use a sword.

Srng!

I pulled out Iron Sword and it was then–

Swish!

Clouds of smoke flowed out from the holes in the wall

“W-what is this?”

Smoke was coming in and in an instant it filled the narrow space.
I covered my mouth, nose with my sleeve as it seemed to be a poisonous fog.

‘Damn it!’

Bang!

Shocked and scared I kicked the wall with trembling feet and the entire space swayed again making me lose balance.

“Kuak!”

I got up and stabbed the wall with Iron Sword.

Kang!

The sword bounced off with sparks.
And like the coffin earlier, it was made of this hard stone.

‘What the hell is this place?’

It was the moment I was going to swing the sword again.
I felt the body tingle and it wasn’t just itchy but I wanted to scratch the skin off.

Unable to hear it, I did scratch it at first only one spot and then the entire body felt the same

It was when Short Sword said.

-Y-Your skin is weird.
You are turning red and skin is cracking.

‘What?’

-Do not scratch Wonhwi.

They were saying it happened all over the body but I couldn’t just stand it.
I could feel my body turn hotter.
It was as if a flame was put within me so I quickly took the clothes off.

-Get yourself together!

-Wonhwi! Wonhwi!

Jjjkkk!

Looking at the back of the hand I could see the pieces of skin cracking up and my body did seem like it was cracking and I could feel strong pain all over the body

“Kuaaaak!”

The pain made me want to roll on the ground.
And the pain was not something I could tolerate.

-Wonhwi!

-Yah!

Other voices echoed in the head but I couldn’t answer with the pain I was going through and with the moment when I thought I was done.

Swish!

I felt something pierce right through the spine and that wasn’t all.
Even on the back, something continued to pop out.

Papapang

“Haa… Haaa…”

The pain continued from the dantian and till the chest and then something pierced itself out of my heart as it spit?

‘…!’

It was as if the heart just spit something out.
It was the innate qi.

Pak!

And then something, a needle at the side of the dantian and I could feel my body being resuscitated.

The mid and lower dantian were opened up at the same time.
I wasn’t sure why but I turned into the fetal position to feel it in my body as I began to cultivate innate qi.

“Phew… phew…”

A warm energy finally spread through the body but the innate qi wasn’t the only thing which moved.
Unintentionally, even the internal qi moved and it spread all through the corners of the body.
It was the first time I could use both qi’s at the same time.

‘It is odd.’

While performing cultivation within the smoke, both the dantians were getting stronger.
I couldn’t understand why but this wasn’t a chance I could miss.
And the moment I heard the voice of short sword

-Something black is oozing out of the cracked skin!

“Haa… Haa…”

The one armed man struggled out of the cave clutching the blood soaked waist and there were bundles of grass clenched near his chest.

He brought all that he could

“Damn it!”

A harsh sound escaped from the mouth as he leaned against the wall and cautiously put the face near the cave.
So many monsters.

‘Did he die?’

He couldn’t see So Wonhwi around.

‘Wolno…’

Trying to save him, the grandson died.

He hoped that the kid would survive with his martial arts but this turned to be the worst situation

The one armed man bit his lip.

He endured the pain.

“Hu! Hu!”

Biting the lip he took a deep breath and was determined.

‘I will save Wolno.
I will not let his grandson’s sacrifice be in vain.’

Clench!

He looked at the exit on the other side and soon he ran, the gazes of the monsters all turned toward him at once, a terrifying sight for a man with nothing to do than run

He could feel the pain flare up as he moved but he continued to run.

“Kwaaaaak!”

“Kuaaah!”

The monsters rushed at the man.

‘Please! Please!’

The man still didn’t stop.
He could hear them getting closer.

And they would soon be caught.

It was then–

Slash!

The sound of something being cut made him stop

“Acccck!”

“Kwaaaak!”

He heard the monsters screaming and he turned his head back after reaching the cave.

At that time, he saw someone standing with a sword in their hand.

Around him were monsters with throats being split.

“T-this….”

A single red eye could be seen and among the blood flowing someone with red eyes stepped ahead.

The man walked with the sword in hand and had red hair as if soaked with blood, and this was So Wonhwi who he thought had died.
