Young Lord So!

The one armed mans eyes turned red when he found So Wonhwi alive. He was the one who thought So Wonhwi was dead and felt horrible.

But that joy was short-lived.

At first he thought he was mistaken for blood but So Wonhwis hair was dyed red.

T-that form?

He was confined here for a long time but he was someone who went through the Great War. And that was why he knew this form.

Blood Demon?

The red hair and those red eyes symbolized Blood Demon.

Why was Young Lord So like that?

He couldnt help but doubt So Wonhwis appearance right now as this reminded him of Blood Demon. He thought of the child to be a grandson but now he felt curious about the real identity.

But that didnt matter.

Young Lord So!

The one armed man held up a root of flame and stuck it out. To be sure this was So Wonhwi.

And the gaze of So Wonhwi, who was walking with a sword, turned to him.

Uh?

However, he didnt know it, but So Wonhwi had closed one of his eyes.

Did he hurt his eye?

Ah!

I was relieved when I finally saw the one armed man with herbs.

Thank God!

I barely caught up with him. I had to come out of the stone chamber after the coffin and then smoke came. I had to use Blood Demon Will as much as I could to enhance the body and cut the heads of countless monsters.

If I was a little late then this man would have died.

-Is your eye fine?

I shook my head at the question of Short Sword.

Ever since I emerged from that smoke area, the pain in the left eye was too much and I couldnt stand opening it, so I shut it.

Kwaaaah!

Monsters which let out ferocious screams ran for me.

These guys were ready to eat me and even when beheaded they kept coming with fear.

But I wasnt afraid either.

If I was in a state where my internal qi and innate qi sealed then maybe I would have been scared.

Chak!

I cut off the entire waist. Even their hard bones felt like simple branches now.

Chak!

At the same time as cutting the waist, the upper body fell down.

I slashed a couple more in the same force. I didnt even need a technique.

And the movements felt clearer than before.

Kwaaaak!

I clung to the ceiling and grabbed the jumping monsters face with bare hands.

h ltt nd mt ulr nvl t lghtnvlubm

How dare it try to bite me? Before it could even bite I threw it down at the other monsters.

Puak!

Two other monsters which got hit fell down with it and I was going to cut the throats of those who fell.

-Behind!

At the shout of Iron Sword, I turned the sword. And I sensed something had been cut off, an arm of the monster.

Kwaaaak!

Even though the arm was cut off the monster tried to cut me down with its teeth so I had to kick him in the chin.

Crack!

And the sound of the jaw being crushed could be heard. It was strange that this monster wasnt in pain.

And I cut the head off.

Slash!

Now three more left.

At that moment I was about to move to the others standing.

Rumble!

I heard something being dragged on the ground and my gaze went there.

The place where the sound was getting closer arrived from a cave.

That?

The cave from where monsters had come out. The sound of someone walking with something being dragged on the ground.

What is that?

My heart was already pounding at the sound of something strong emerging so I couldnt take my eyes off the cave but the three monsters rushed in.

Kwaaak!

The annoying guys. So I slashed the heads off one after another.

Dealing with them wasnt so difficult and when I turned the head I looked at the being from the cave.

-Just what is that?

The reason why Short Sword said it was quite simple.

What came from the cave was different from these monsters. It didnt even seem like a monster.

The entire head was covered with something which looked like a metal mask, so the face couldnt be seen, and both hands were stuck to the back with large iron balls the size of a human lower body.

And it wasnt the end.

He had black shackles on the legs and waist held with iron balls twice as large as the ones holding the hands.

Clack!

And each step was making the iron balls move and emanating this weird sound along with the ground being crumbled.

-How is such a thing being dragged?

I couldnt figure it out. It was to the point where I wondered if he was able to even move.

Clack! Clack!

The monster with the iron mask was approaching me and I was unable to identify the man so hoping he could speak I asked.

Who is this?

The iron masked man titled his head and he turned his face where I was and with straightened back just stared at me.

The monsters muscles swelled up with a thumping sound and it was the moment something felt strange.

lghtnvlubm fr bttr ur rn

Grrr!

No way?

As the monster moved the swollen legs, the huge black iron ball moved like flying and flew to where I was.

A strong monster.

However, the speeding iron ball was coming to hit me. So I kicked off the ground and jumped.

Kwakwakwang!

As I avoided it the flying iron ball broke into the ground and the stone rumbled.

If hit properly, the body would be completely crushed.

I wasnt sure what it was but this thing attacked me.

So an enemy.

If the body was being pulled down with the iron ball, the movement should be slow but he was moving like this, so I decided to aim for the gap and attacked at it.

And the monster swung the opposite leg at me. With the sound of the chains being pulled, no iron balls were being pulled and they moved in my direction.

It was a simple route so avoiding it should be fine.

Phat!

I jumped over the flying iron ball and at once swung the sword at the monsters head. And that moment, the monster raised the iron ball in the right hand and blocked it.

Kaaang!

It seemed to be a lighter ball than the ones on the legs considering he could move them faster.

Amazingly hard.

The strength of the iron ball was stronger than the coffin I emerged from. The coffin could be broken with internal qi, but this iron ball was strong enough to make my hands tingle.

What is this made of?

It didnt matter, as the monster was trying to take me down with the iron ball and I threw myself back.

The floor below collapsed, it almost sunk in.

I wasnt sure if this was just physical strength or something else but all I knew was that despite having a bizarre body and being restrained it could

Buung!

Kuak!

I ducked my head and avoided the iron ball as he continued to attack me. After avoiding this, I tried to stab him in the chest only to be blocked again

Chang!

My form which had been pushed by the iron ball threw me back as Iron Sword trembled in my hand.

Too strong.

The material of that iron ball was unknown, but If he was using it like a shield then I could never cut his throat off. And Iron Sword spoke.

-Cut the wrist with the iron ball first and then go for the throat.

This made sense.

The key was to stop it from using the balls as a shield.

So I moved again and he swung the ball.

Pat!

I leaned back to avoid the iron ball and at the same time to move ahead to cut the wrist.

Slash!

At the same time as slashing the wrist I fell behind him to avoid another iron ball being hit at me.

lghtnvlubm fr th bt nvl rdng rn

And quickly slashed the sword at the neck and at that moment, he twisted the waist and tried to hit me up.

Late.

It was enough to cut the neck along with the wrist. It was the moment I thought.

Clang!

Ah?

The sword bounced back as the wrist couldnt be cut fully. It was the state when the blood splattered onto my face with eyes all stained with blood.

Pung!

Iron ball flew at me

Damn it!

I tried to evade it right then by using footwork, but in the end the iron ball was like his extended body and it hit me on the shoulder.

Thud!

Ack!

I rolled on the ground a couple times before stopping and my shoulder ached.

If I didnt protect myself with innate qi, my shoulder would have been broken.

Young Lord So!

Hearing the shout of the one armed man, I reached out telling him to not make any noise. If this monster turned to him, then it would be a losing battle.

The eye

The blood which fell in the eyes was making the vision red and despite rubbing to clean it off the hazy effect wasnt leaving.

Thus, despite the pain not dying I had to open up my left eye.

Euk!

And just the opening of it made my eyes hurt. I had to force myself to endure it and attack him.

-Wonhwi! Look at that!

I looked at where Short Sword was telling me to.

?!

The hand which I cut off was starting to grow, the bones began to protrude out from the slashed out part and took the shape of a hand with flesh and veins coming up.

-What is this?

Even Iron Sword didnt seem to know about this. It was hard to believe despite seeing this.

It didnt take long for the severed hand to grow back

But how did this

At that moment the grown hand struck the other wrist and cut it off.

-He cut his own wrist?

Iron sword continued with the words of Short Sword.

-It isnt like that. He is trying to get out of the iron cage.

Iron Sword was right, the severed wrist came back again. The monster slashed its wrist to have the hand grow without shackles and fumbled with the iron mask.

I couldnt figure out why it was but I heard laughter from within the mask.

Hahahaha!

Then with two arms he took off the iron mask and tore it off. The iron mask was ripped.

At that moment I felt amazed. A handsome man with a pale white face and a golden light pouring out from the eyes.

h ltt nd mt ulr nvl t lghtnvlubm

Gold eyes!

The golden eye man turned to me and throwing off the mask he said.

Are you the one who removed the talisman here?
