Reincarnated Swordmaster - Chapter 911



Only Noblemtl

911====================

True empty hometown

My choice soon leaned towards ‘hiding’.

‘That guy is dangerous.’

In the past, I had cut down one of the seven yoke, Suyo. The mysterious martial arts he used were something that I couldn’t explain with my current knowledge of martial arts, and I couldn’t see it as a simple absolute state. If I died while fighting against such an unidentified state, I could say that it was a failure in this life. In addition, I had to consider the possibility that I would be captured by him and tortured instead.

‘Then how can I avoid that guy’s attention as much as possible…’

I knew that the distance between me and the guy was more than twenty li. Thanks to the latent clairvoyance of Hwaan Geumjeong, I could see the guy’s figure, but it was a distance that could not be confirmed with normal eyesight. Even the most advanced master could not detect an opponent from twenty li, so I was relieved for the time being, but I did not know how far the safe distance was.

‘Hmm… ten li…? No. If it’s ten li, then I can sometimes sense movement when I’m in a good mood…’

I thought about it carefully and decided to set the invisible range of the creature to about fifteen li. Then I decided to go around the area of ​​Yeomra Mountain as if going around it, staying as far away from the creature as possible. Since the mountain was crushed by the creature’s sword and all the fortresses were destroyed, it would be much easier to break through the boundary.

Tadot

I circled around and ran straight across from him. Then I checked to see if the distance between us was getting shorter, and I could see that we had reached the boundary where Yeomra Mountain was without any distance remaining. As the distance got closer, Yeomra ghosts started to appear here and there, and I was about to swing my sword and fight.

We will destroy the demons of Yama and head straight to the King of Yama!

“……?!”

Sasaat!

I was about to rush in from afar and attack about 30 of the Underworld’s evil spirits, but I quickly turned around in midair and hid in the bushes. It wasn’t because I was scared of the spirits, but because a strange sensation passed through my spine for a very brief moment.

danger.

It was just a sense of the master who informed me of that one. In fact, it could be said that it was the border of a mysterious sense that I encountered while always being surrounded by my thoughts. However, this intuition was always directly connected to life, so I could never ignore it and had to avoid battle. Fortunately, the demons of the underworld did not seem to notice my presence and were gradually moving away, wandering around here and there.

” ……”

I was lying down without making a single sound, using the art of hiding. The demons of hell had moved away, so there was no reason to do this. However, even though there was silence surrounding me, I hid tightly like a caterpillar without moving at all.

It’s dangerous.

It’s dangerous……

‘What on earth is this feeling?’

I don’t know. If I think about it rationally, there is absolutely nothing around here that could be a danger to me. The one level higher than the underworld’s guard, the Demon General, is the Demon General. Even higher than the Demon General is the Great Demon General, and the highest level is the Demon King Nachasal, the personal guard of King Yeomna. The Demon King Nachasal is said to be so powerful that it can even capture great beings who were spiritually strong in their lifetimes, but even if the Demon King Nachasal were here, I am confident that I could defeat him somehow.

It would be impossible to defeat the Ghost King Nachal with just simple martial arts, but it would be possible if you used other skills such as the power of the soul or the sword. No matter how strong the Ghost King Nachal was, it was clear that it would be difficult for him to be stronger than Peng Zu.

And yet, even though I couldn’t see the Demon King or hear any sounds nearby, my sixth sense and intuition continued to pour warnings into my brain.

If you fight here or make any noise, you will die!

‘Why…?’

I knew that it was foolish to lie flat like this and just wait for time to pass, when I would have to hurry up and retrieve the mirror. I remembered how Mangryang was trying to save even a little time, so I knew even more. My mind was filled with anxiety, but I never let go of my hiding position, even though I had doubts.

I shouldn’t rely on my own hasty assumptions and ignore the sense that martial arts have built up. That was the most important thing to avoid in real combat. In a sense, this sense was the culmination of my martial arts, and it was everything, so I couldn’t even doubt it. I thought I was stupid, but I kept my breath to a minimum and barely moved my body while hiding.

……

……

Could it be that he had been holding on without any movement for about an hour?

Phew

For a moment, I suddenly understood why I was crouching so tightly, because just a moment ago, I felt the eerie sensation that had engulfed my entire body pass right over my head.

It’s clear that he’s alive.

If that life sensed me, the owner of the life would have rushed towards me at that moment.

I thought to myself, sweating profusely.

‘I… I see. That’s what happened. It was because it wasn’t safe here…’

It is not a safe range.

I had kept a distance of about fifteen li from the hat warrior, and I thought that I would be able to move around safely at this distance – but I had already entered the hat warrior’s range! And right before the hat warrior detected me, my superb martial arts sense sensed the danger and urged me to hide, and because I followed that sense, I had remained safe until now.

Well then, surely…

Are you saying that the twenty-mile range where I was standing earlier was also the detection range of the Satgat Warrior?

‘That’s ridiculous! That’s not human perception!’

Even if it was absolute, it couldn’t be done that way! It’s only twenty ri, but in that area, there would probably be three or four villages. Furthermore, with the collapse of Yeomna Mountain, hundreds of thousands of Yeomna ghosts would be attacking the Satgat Warriors, creating a huge commotion. And in the midst of that chaos, you can sense even the slightest movement from twenty ri away?!

‘… It’s clear that he has some kind of treasure or psychic power. If that’s the case, then I can accept it.’

I also used Hwaan Geumjeong to observe him with my clairvoyance. If I had similar psychic powers or amulets, it would be possible. I would never have reached that level with pure martial arts.

… If that’s the detection range with just pure martial arts, then it means I can’t even use my sword against him. That’s probably true.

I clenched my teeth. I had to somehow move from this spot, break through the Yeomrabu, and get to the Jeonryunseongwang’s room, but I had no idea how long I would have to hide like this. I was sure he hadn’t caught me yet, but I had a feeling that if I moved even a single step, I would be caught in his detection range.

” ……”

It was frustrating. But I thought that even this impatience was proof of my immaturity, so I decided to persevere. Even if it took another day, I decided to overcome the current danger. It was a pity to say this to Mangryang, but if I died here, the result would have been the same anyway.

Another hour passed like that.

Wow!!

In the distance, the light of the half moon flashed once again and spread out with a loud noise. Then, silence soon fell again, and I could feel the sense of danger that had been plaguing my mind gradually disappearing.

I stood up awkwardly and looked around at the Hwaan Geumjeong, and a shocking sight appeared.

‘The Demon King of Hell has been annihilated…’

Not one or two, but hundreds of thousands of the demons of the underworld were dead, like a mountain of corpses. In addition, the demon leaders and great demon leaders who controlled the demons of the underworld were also dead without exception. The expression of dying again in the underworld was strange, but since they were spiritual beings, they knew that when they died, they would return to the underworld.

Slowly, slowly

After walking for a while across the plain of ghastly corpses, I looked closely at the corpses and realized something strange.

“What is this?…”

There was no doubt that all the corpses had been killed by a single sword. However, strangely, the external wounds were only a single line drawn like a thread, and no blood came out of them. I wondered if the technique was to shake the inside with my qigong and blow it up, so I looked inside, but again, there were no internal wounds.

If someone who didn’t know the situation well saw it, they would think that the demons were all lying down in a group and sleeping. However, it was clear that the demons were dead, with no chance of recovery.

This is my first time seeing such martial arts.

Is it possible to instantly kill everyone with just one blow with such a minor wound?

Moreover, it seems like he couldn’t even resist, so how did he do it?

Even the most extraordinary martial arts leave a clear reason and traces of life-ending. Even in the relatively clean-looking Naegigong, there are clear cases of internal organs bursting or being injured. The sound-type martial arts that shake the brain and emotions also clearly show the reason for death to the eyes of the master.

However, this trace completely ignored common sense about martial arts.

I thought maybe he killed her by electrocuting her with his natural intellect like a brainwashing spirit, but that didn’t seem to be the case. I thought maybe he cut her with a futuristic ultra-vibration blade, but if that was the case, I would have noticed it a long time ago.

The bigger problem was that I couldn’t possibly guess the source of the non-combat incident just by looking at the traces of this front line.

It’s not a trace of any martial arts that I know of.

How on earth did he get it?

“Hmm….”

I shook my head, letting out a sigh.

“I guess I’ll have to take the body.”

I stuffed the corpses of the King of Hell into a wooden box. I thought it would be better to analyze them later if I couldn’t figure it out right away. Then, after looking around for a while, I quickly entered the King of Hell.

Tadadot

‘I wonder… if it won’t be there?’

I muttered to myself as I climbed over the wall of Yeomrabu, the huge palace and office of King Yeomra. It was suspicious that there were no soldiers guarding Yeomrabu. However, what concerned me more than that was whether or not there was a Satgat warrior.

If the Satgat Warrior was waiting for me inside the Yeomrabu, it was over. Somehow I had a gut feeling that I wouldn’t be able to withstand his single sword. I cowered while using the art of stealth, but soon I gritted my teeth and went inside.

‘It’s been a while since I lost my senses! If I had gone, I would have gone a long time ago. Let’s go in here!’

I mustered up my courage and walked into the palace of King Yeomra. After walking for a while, I saw King Yeomra’s guards and noblemen lying dead here and there. It was probably the work of the Satgat warrior. As I went further inside, I saw a chair that King Yeomra usually sat on, but it was empty without an owner.

” hmm…”

According to Wangryang’s memory, there is a path leading out the back door here. If you follow that path, you will reach the secret room of the Wheel King, and the Myunggyeong is right there. Since I was almost at my destination, I felt a sense of relief inside. I continued walking and went to the back door, and eventually arrived at my destination.

A huge door is visible. This door is absolutely impossible to open, and Mangryang has been relying on the door’s defenses to take shelter inside. Normally, the King of Wheels’ chamber cannot be opened by human power, but I have relied on Mangryang’s memory to cast a method to break it.

Kookung!!

I inserted the large iron bar that was placed next to King Yeomra’s chair into the iron gate. Then, I slowly and effortlessly pulled the iron bar towards me, and the huge iron gate, which was three jang high, began to open with ease.

Kookookookook…

“Hey.”

I was amazed. It seemed like it would be impossible to open with a metal bar as thick as this, but it really opened easily!

‘The madness is amazing!’

When Mangryang explored the underworld, he obtained information that the iron bar placed next to King Yeomra’s chair was actually the key to open the door of King Jeonryunseong. I went through the open door with the iron bar in my hand, and after a while, the door slowly closed.

Inside the room of the Wheel-Turning King.

It was my first time coming here in person, but it wasn’t new to me since I knew a little about it through Mangryang’s memories. I eventually found the mirror and succeeded in putting it inside the wooden armor. Then I used the Sun-eogu to communicate with Mangryang.

[Mangryang! I arrived at the throne room of the Wheel-turning King and got my hands on the mirror.]

The joyful voice of Mangryang was heard.

[Well done. Then I will now use the Pacheonilwolseon to guide you to the present world. I will open the door, so please wait a moment.]

[ But then a strange guy got in the way…]

[ hmm?]

I told Mangryang what had happened to me. Mangryang listened silently and then said to me.

[You did a good job of not bumping into that warrior. But I still have a bad feeling about this.]

[ Me too. Please let me return to the present world quickly. ]

[ ……]

Mangryang did not answer for a while and then said.

[ No. I don’t think that will work. ]

[ huh?]

[ Baek Woong. Take out the mirror that was put in the wooden case. And…]

Mangryang told me how I should behave. I tilted my head when I heard that.

[Why do you have to do that? Just go back to the present world…]

[There’s no time. If it’s as I think, he might come in right away. Hurry up.]

[Okay.]

I did as Mangryang told me.

Pfft!

After a while, there was silence, and about half an hour passed. And as that time passed, the door slowly opened in the silence.

Squeak

As the door of the Wheel-turning King opened, the hat-wearing warrior slowly walked in. He looked around the room as if he was looking for something, and because the hat was so big, I couldn’t see his real face. After searching the room thoroughly for a while, he slowly approached me.

……

Who the hell are you?

Who the hell are you to be chasing me?

I wanted to ask, but I wasn’t in a position to ask. The guy who had been looking at where I was for a while reached out his hand, but then he gave up and silently stepped back, opened the door to the Wheel-turning King again, and left.

“Phuhat.”

Flash!

After a while, I jumped out of the mirror with the light. I had activated the mirror according to Mangryang’s plan and was hiding in the world inside the mirror. It was a plan I made because even if he was a hat warrior, he wouldn’t think I was hiding inside the mirror. In reality, it seemed like the hat warrior couldn’t find me.

I wiped the sweat from my forehead because of the tension and communicated with Mangryang again.

[Mangryang. The bastard went out after searching the room of the Wheel King.]

[ Did you happen to see the guy’s face? ]

[I couldn’t do it. Even though I used the power of Hwaan Geumjeong, I couldn’t see anything…]

It was a bit strange. Hwaan Geumjeong also had the power of clairvoyance and could see through things, but strangely, he could not see the face of the Satgat Warrior.

[ But the existence of Baek Woong hidden in Myeonggyeong was not detected… It means that he cannot see into the inside of Myeonggyeong. And since he did not destroy or take things indiscriminately… That means that he is not omnipotent.]

Mangryang, who had been muttering to himself, said with regret.

[Baek Woong. While you’re at it, stay in that room a little longer and then come back.]

[Why? Why have you been reluctant to send me back to the present world since earlier?]

[Because I think there’s a chance he’ll follow your trail.]

[ ……]

Oh, that can’t be!

[Your trip to the underworld this time was a secret plan that no one in the world knew about. However, the Satgat warrior arrived early and waited for us, as if he had predicted it. He clearly has extraordinary detection abilities, and if we rashly use the power of the Pacheonilwolseon, I think he might be able to find out where our party is by following the afterglow of that power.]

[ Hmm. ]

[ Since we don’t know the identity, we have no choice but to be very careful. ]

It made sense. It wasn’t strange that Mangryang was being cautious. When I nodded, Mangryang continued.

[ That’s good. If I remember correctly, you should know that there is some hidden treasure in the room of the Wheel King. Let’s try to find it. ]
