Absolute Sword Sense Chapter 254

<Episode 84: The Strange Kite (2)>

-Unhwi. I can't hear Sodamgeom's voice.

It seems I'm not the only one.

It seems that Namcheon Cheolgeom also cannot hear the guy's voice.

Since I gained the power of the Big Dipper, the guardian deity of the sword, nothing like this has ever happened.

'Sodam! Sodam!'

I can't hear the guy's voice even though I didn't block the sound directly.

I can't figure out the English translation.

But what is certain is that the Sodam Sword was in someone's hands.

I don't know who it is, but if anyone causes even the slightest harm to Sodamgeom, I don't think I can ever forgive them.

-Unhwi. Calm down.

You look so genuine.

Just like you guys, Sodamgeom is like family to me.

I can't lose a guy like that.

'We have to hurry.'

I unfolded my wind chime and entered the northern forest.

But as I was moving forward, I couldn't help but stop for a moment at the sight that unfolded before my eyes.

A thick fog hung thickly over one edge of the forest.

'What the heck is this…..'

It was an incomprehensible phenomenon.

Clearly, when looking down from above with the Sodam Sword's view, there was no fog at all.

Rather, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was clear.

'What on earth is this?'

I approached the fog and looked closer.

A thick fog completely obscured the view, making it nearly impossible to see the forest.

I felt a strange sense of alienation, almost like it was a wall.

'Is this the fog that the guy on the left saw?'

I don't know how, but I have to go through this fog to get to the lake.

Without a second thought, I flew the new model into the fog.

The road ahead was blurry and I couldn't see anything, but if I went in a straight line, I thought I could get through the forest.

As the car continued to move forward, at some point the fog disappeared from view.

A faint light was visible ahead.

-They all come and go.

I gave the new model a boost.

The moment I emerged from the bushes like that, I couldn't hide my embarrassment.

'!?'

-Unhwi, what the heck is this…

Even Namcheon Cheolgeom was surprised by this strange phenomenon.

In front, a bonfire was burning, and around it, Sima Young, Song Joa-baek, Song Woo-hyeon, Guisal Kwon-ma Jang Mun-ryang, Ah-song, and others were looking at the forest to the north.

"under!"

They turned their gaze to the words that came out of my mouth.

Sima Ying spoke in surprise, as if he could not understand it for the time being.

“Your Majesty, didn’t you just go over there?”

She pointed north.

Asong also said with his eyes wide open as if he was amazed.

“Your Majesty. Have you learned the art of shrinking now?”

How could that be?

I don't know what the hell this is, but I didn't have time to do this.

“Try it.”

With those words, I flew the new model back towards the northern forest.

Not long after entering the forest, the foggy forest appeared again.

I have to be careful this time.

-Sreung!

I drew my Southern Iron Sword and started forward from the beginning of the thicket where the foggy forest spread out, marking the trees by cutting branches.

As we continued forward, cutting forward, it wasn't long before the fog cleared and the light appeared again.

'…….what?'

I'm anxious.

Those lights look so familiar.

As I walked through the forest, I was so shocked that I was speechless.

Once again there was a campfire and a group of people around it.

When I appeared again in the southern forest, this time it was Song Ja-baek who spoke.

“What are you doing? Are you kidding me?”

“A joke? Do you think this is a joke?”

At that moment, I was overcome with anger, but I couldn't find a way to explain this phenomenon in words.

I don't know what this strange phenomenon is, but when you enter the foggy forest, you pass through the forest on the opposite side, the southern one.

So I explained this to my companions.

“Look! Woohyun and I said we saw fog.”

“That’s not the point. You said that when you passed through the foggy forest, you came out this way.”

In response to my words, Jang Moon-ryang stroked his chin and said:

“That is truly strange.”

“Does Mr. Jang know what this is about?”

“I think it might be some kind of sorcery or formation.”

Sorcery?

Is this a spell?

Even in the memories of the evil spirit Papa Cheol Su-ryeon, such an absurd and groundless magic does not exist.

Or is it really some kind of tactic?

“Whether it’s magic or formations, anything created by humans will have weaknesses. How about we go together this time, my lord?”

I'm anxious because of the Sodam Sword, but I guess I have to do it.

There was no way I could deal with this strange phenomenon on my own.

So this time, I entered the northern forest with my group and encountered fog.

“Is that true?”

“Oh. Didn’t you say it was true?”

Song Ja-baek stamped his feet, asking why people didn't trust him.

Ignoring that guy, I looked into the foggy forest.

Sima Ying asked me.

“What are you looking for, Confucius?”

“I cut down some branches before entering the foggy forest.”

I was looking for it, but strangely enough, I couldn't find it.

Even though I walked through the fog, the trees were intact, with no sign of branches being cut.

“…….Everything is fine.”

"Is it really Ben?"

Then I will lie.

I felt like I was cutting it with my own hands, but I don't know what happened.

I looked at Jang Moon-ryang.

Since he had experiences while under the command of the Lord, he might be able to perceive these things more objectively than I do.

Jang Moon-ryang spoke while looking straight towards the entrance to the foggy forest.

“It seems to be a type of formation rather than sorcery, so it seems like you won’t be able to get through unless you go inside and find the exit.”

“Are you saying it keeps repeating?”

“I haven’t gone inside yet, so I don’t know. However, judging from the fact that the lord passed through here and came out to the southern forest twice, it seems to be a formation.”

Sima Ying said to Jang Mun-ryang.

“Let’s go in together this time. Wouldn’t that help us understand better?”

That sounds right.

If the rules were right, something strange might happen when they went inside, so everyone decided to hold hands this time.

As I was about to enter, a good idea suddenly occurred to me.

"ah!"

I guess I was really stupid.

Instead of going into the forest, why don't you just jump over the fog?

There was no need to go through the fog for nothing.

“Why are you like that?”

In response to Sima Ying's question, I pulled out the Nancheon Iron Sword and climbed onto it.

“Ah! Let’s go upstairs.”

“Just in case, I’ll try jumping through the fog.”

“Okay. Then let’s hold hands and go into the foggy forest.”

In this way, all the other party members went into the forest, and I rode the Namcheon Iron Sword and flew up above the foggy forest using the Sword Flight.

As soon as we soared high, the forest came into view below.

The entire forest was covered in fog, and the area was very wide.

But Namcheoncheolgeom said.

-Unhwi. The fog has cleared.

'What does that mean?'

The entire forest was still shrouded in fog, so I couldn't even see where the lake was.

When I was wondering, Namcheon Iron Sword said.

-Look at it from my perspective.

At the guy's words, I focused on the vision of the Namcheon Iron Sword unfolding in my head, just in case.

'Huh?'

But it was true.

As Namcheoncheolgeom said, when I looked through the guy's eyes, the fog in the forest had cleared.

The same sight unfolded as when I saw it through Sodam Sword's eyes.

Just ahead, about half a mile away, I could see a lake, a pavilion, and a guest house.

The only difference, however, was that the ferry that had been in the middle of the lake was now anchored at the ferry terminal.

'Why does it look like this when viewed from the perspective of the Namcheon Iron Sword?'

Clearly, my eyes are filled with fog.

But the vision of the Namcheon Iron Sword in his head is the complete opposite.

I saw the group entering the foggy forest through the sight of the Namcheon Iron Sword.

'oh!'

An amazing sight unfolded.

The group that was walking forward holding hands became blurry and then suddenly disappeared.

As if it had never been there in the first place.

'What is going on?'

It was something that would make a ghost cry.

With a hopeful heart, I looked towards the forest to the south.

Before long, the group appeared, holding hands and leaving the forest.

As soon as they came out of the forest, they were surprised to see a campfire lit.

'I really don't know. What is going on?'

When viewed from above with the sword's sight, it appears normal.

But when you enter the foggy forest, don't go to the lakeside, but to the southern forest.

Is this really possible with the truth?

-First, we need to get the Sodam Sword. How about going to the lakeside?

What Namcheon Cheolgeom said is correct.

First of all, the rescue of Sodam Sword was a priority.

'Let's go in.'

-i get it.

Namcheon Iron Sword entered the lakeside as far as he could see.

What was truly amazing was that my eyes were still filled with fog and I could not see anything.

But surprisingly, at one moment the fog suddenly cleared.

And that wasn't the end of it.

“……This can’t be happening.”

Suddenly the day became bright and clear.

It should have been quite dark at the beginning of the hour of the pig, but surprisingly, the sun was at its zenith.

-Unhwi. I don't know what kind of harmony this is.

That's what I want to say.

The sudden brightness made me frown.

As I became accustomed to the sunlight, the sight of the lakeside came into view. There were peach blossoms all around the lake, splendid pavilions, and a magnificent building that looked like a temple, standing tall there, seemingly from a guest house.

'Am I dreaming… or is this an illusion?'

-I'm looking at it too, so it doesn't seem like that.

Besides, there was clearly no one there until just a moment ago.

But as soon as the sun rose, young men in white uniforms started to chatter and stare at me.

Their reaction seemed as surprised as I was.

'Where on earth did these come from?'

I just can't understand it.

'Where on earth is the person who intercepted the Sodam Sword?'

The person was nowhere to be seen.

I jumped down from the Namcheon Iron Sword first.

As soon as I jumped down to the ground, a group of young men wearing martial arts uniforms suddenly rushed towards me.

One of them suddenly spoke to me.

“Which teacher do you follow?”

Which teacher?

What the hell are you talking about?

Looking at their uniforms and the pure aura they exude, they are clearly Taoist warriors.

But I can't figure out where the temple is.

Each sect, whether it be the Mudangpa, Hwasanpa, or Jongnampa, has its own unique attire.

However, it is strange that each and every one of these people, who seem to have at least second-class to first-class martial arts skills, cannot tell the origin of their Buddhist sect from their uniforms.

So I took the lottery ticket and said to them,

“I am So Woon-Hwi, a disciple of the Namcheon Swordsman Ho Jong-Dae. If there is anything I can ask the Taoist masters….”

Before the words could be finished, the Taoist priests' expressions changed.

The expression that had been full of curiosity and goodwill just a moment ago changed in an instant.

It was so extreme that I couldn't even tell what was going on.

“He is a worldly person!”

“How did the secular people come in?”

What the hell is this?

It's like what Buddhists or Taoists say to ordinary people, but is it really something that a secular person should be wary of?

The Taoist priests nearby suddenly surrounded me and began to perform martial arts.

“I really don’t understand why you guys do that.”

“Put down the sword you have, kneel down, and raise your hands.”

You are making unreasonable demands.

“Masters. I have not come here to harm you. I do not know what is going on, but as I came through the foggy forest, it suddenly became bright…”

“Subdue them!”

As one Taoist priest shouted, the other Taoist priests suddenly started throwing arrows at me.

It was extremely difficult to unfold the martial arts from the beginning.

“The authors called Taoists…..”

There was no time to deal with them one by one.

In a time when I'm busy looking for the Sodam Sword.

-Exactly!

I flicked my fingers lightly.

At that moment, the Taoists who had been simultaneously firing their new spells at me all foamed at the mouth and fell down.

-Thud! Thud!

“Oh no!”

“Oh, a commoner has learned sorcery.”

The Taoist priests who had not fallen were astonished.

I tried to knock out all the Taoists here to avoid any trouble, but about four of them were standing there unharmed.

Although his martial arts skills are outstanding among these, he is only at the beginning of his peak, and it is quite admirable that he was able to endure it.

Or maybe they just have stronger mental strength than most people?

But since it's not something I can easily jump into, I guess I should ask.

“Isn’t there a man here with long hair and a face so pale that it’s almost white? He took my dagger. I’ll retreat once I find it, so no more…”

It was just then.

A sharp energy rushed towards me from somewhere.

Then, I quickly tilted my head back slightly to avoid it.

'anticipation.'

It was nothing less than expected.

After avoiding it, I turned my head in the direction from which the wind had blown.

There, a woman with long hair that reached down to her waist, wearing a slightly more flashy outfit similar to light clothing, unlike the other uniforms, was standing there, pointing her sword at me.

'That woman….'

Even though I saw it from afar, how could I forget that outfit?

It must have been the woman who was with the man on the boat.

Although she was not as beautiful as Sima Ying, she was a great beauty and possessed martial arts skills that were so excellent that they reached the pinnacle of perfection.

'He's so outstanding for such a young age.'

To that extent, it would not be an exaggeration to say that she was almost as talented as Baek Hye-hyang.

I was quite surprised when the woman spoke to me.

“There is no way a worldly person could be as skilled in magic as you are. Reveal your identity.”

I can't understand it at all.

My work came first.

“That damned worldling…phew. The man you were with took my dagger without permission. Where is he?”

Her eyes lit up at the question.

“Are you the owner of that dagger?”

I knew it.

Then the story will speed up.

“Yes. Tell me where that guy is right now.”

The woman smiled with interest at my words and said:

“Are you perhaps a disciple being raised separately by the Master?”

What is this?

“What on earth are you talking about?”

“Huh? But how can you follow the path that the Master achieved?”

“How would I know who your teacher is? Don’t beat around the bush and tell me where the person who was with you is.”

The woman tilted her head at those words and said.

“It’s strange. I said that the executioner might definitely be the Master’s disciple.”

“I don’t know who your master is, but I have no connection with him whatsoever…”

“You really don’t know the adult cruiser?”

“Cruiser?”

…….Wait a minute, I think I've heard that somewhere.

When I looked puzzled, the woman raised the corners of her mouth and said.

“I think it was called the Sword Master in the secular world.”

'!!!'
