Absolute Sword Sense Chapter 298

<Episode 97 Still Alive>

-Kurururung!

Thunder can be heard from the overcast sky.

It was noon, but the sky was dark and looked like it might rain at any moment.

This is a cemetery where the bodies of the dead believers in the holy land of Yeongsan are buried.

To the northwest of the cemetery is a new burial site containing the graves of recently deceased church members.

In front of a grave with a tombstone erected.

A red-haired woman dressed in funeral attire sits with a dazed expression on her face.

She immediately turned white.

She stares at the tombstone with blank eyes like a crazy person.

There was a woman wearing black armor and a bamboo hat looking at her from a distance.

“Are you still doing that?”

The woman in the bamboo forest answered my question.

"okay."

The woman in the bamboo grove was none other than Baek Hye-hyang.

Baek Hye-hyang's expressionless eyes, unlike usual, did not leave her gaze on her half-sister, Baek Ryeon-ha.

Baek Hye-hyang muttered, biting her lips.

“…….Stupid bitch.”

I sighed at her words.

Not everything in the world goes as planned.

-You've been doing that for three days?

okay.

If you keep doing that, you'll collapse.

He's holding on like that with a body that's not in good shape.

Even the Master, including Ijon Seogalma, wanted to bring her in himself, but after seeing her like that, he could not bring himself to touch her.

I looked at the new tomb standing in front of Baekryeonha.

The epitaph on the tombstone reads, “Han Baek-hara, the Blood Witch.”

-Tuttuk! Tututuk!

Before I knew it, raindrops began to fall.

The raindrops that had been falling one or two at a time gradually became heavier and soaked the cemetery.

-Ugh!

Baek Hye-hyang, who was gnashing her teeth, walked briskly towards Baek Yeon-ha.

Whether she approached or not, Baekryun just stared at the grave with blank eyes.

Baek Hye-hyang walked next to her and bowed.

And he said to Baekryeonha.

“How long are you going to stay like this?”

“……..”

“Do you really think that bitch will come back from the grave if you just sit there like a crazy bitch?”

At her words, Baekryeonha's gaze, which had been blank, became fiercely sharp.

She was the type of woman who didn't even show interest no matter what I said.

But it seemed that Baek Hye-hyang couldn't stand these words.

“Did I say something wrong?”

At Baek Hye-hyang's words, Baek Ryeon-ha raised her hand and tried to slap her.

But Baek Hye-hyang was not the one to accept this kindly.

He roughly grabbed Baekryeonha's wrist as it flew towards him weakly and trembled.

“Do you think you can slap me with that broken body of yours?”

At her words, Baekryeonha's eyes trembled.

Gradually, the corners of my eyes began to turn red.

Baekryeonha muttered.

“Ah …

I held my breath and looked up at the sky at the sight of her unable to even speak properly.

The effects of the poison on her brain left her unable to even speak properly.

My heart becomes heavy when I see her.

I feel like it's my fault for this to happen, so I can't bring myself to approach it.

Baek Hye-hyang spoke to Baek Yeon-ha, who was sobbing and trying to hold back her tears.

“Instead of being dumbfounded, cry instead.”

“Ahhhhh…..”

-Shoooooooooooo!

The rain was getting heavier.

Baek Hye-hyang said, taking off her hat and pushing her drooping hair back.

“Even if I cry, it won’t show.”

Could that have been the starting point?

Baekryeon-ha, who had been holding back tears with a distorted face, burst into tears.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”

I sobbed as if the world was going to end.

With a face that couldn't even tell if it was tears or rain.

* * *

Just six days ago.

The day the advance party of the five branches of the Murim Alliance invaded.

The main headquarters of the Blood Cult was empty except for a few people.

If we fail to stop this invasion, the Blood Cult will be destroyed anyway, so it was not a situation where we could spare any effort.

A separate building located within the Yeongsan main building.

-Cheer up! Cheer up!

There was someone walking down the hallway of the annex, with the sound of chains being dragged.

Dressed entirely in black, she was the blood witch Han Baek-ha.

Her two legs, as a sinner, were chained together, and the sound of them dragging echoed through the hallway whenever she moved.

Han Baek-ha, who was walking while dragging a chain, was holding a tray in his only hand, and on top of it was a bowl of steaming porridge.

She stopped in front of the living room, carrying a tray.

“Miss, I’m going in.”

Despite Han Baek-ha's words, the room was extremely quiet.

Han Baek-ha opened the door, exhaling a long breath with a blank expression.

When I went inside, I saw Baekryeonha lying on a bed in a dark room with blank eyes.

Han Baek-ha slowly approached her.

She placed a tray on the round table next to the bed and helped Baekryeonha up.

Then he picked up the bowl of porridge, scooped up a spoonful, and blew on it.

“You have to eat it.”

Baekryeon didn't respond to Han Baek-ha's words.

Han Baek-ha, who was already used to it, brought a spoonful of the cooled porridge to her mouth.

“Open your mouth.”

“……..”

“I need to eat to get energy.”

There was no response from Baekryeon to her soothing words.

Then Han Baek-ha carefully brought the spoon to her lips.

Then Baekryeonha shook it off.

-Bam!

The spoon flew away and scattered the porridge on the bed.

Baekryeonha opened her mouth.

“Ahhhhhhhh…..Ahhhhhhh…..”

She was so damaged that she couldn't even pronounce words properly.

The masters of our school took turns controlling the poison that had spread throughout the brain with their internal energy, but there was no way to stop it from spreading little by little.

The poison slowly consumed her body, enough to make even numerous lawmakers raise their hands.

"ha……"

Han Baek-ha closed his eyes and sighed.

Thanks to the internal medicine treatment and the doctors' great efforts, Baekryeon had regained consciousness to some extent a month ago, but had lost his will to live.

He doesn't want to eat anything, like he's just waiting to die.

“Ahhhh! Ahhhh!”

Baekryeonha waved her hand and made a motion to step back.

Looking at her like that, Han Baek-ha spoke in a heavy voice.

“It’s not your fault, miss. It’s all my fault.”

“Ahhhhh…..”

“…….It’s my fault for not being able to stop that bastard’s scheme.”

Baekryeon was suffering from the fact that she was addicted to the magic poison and was being controlled.

Han Baek-ha continued to comfort her, who wanted to die.

Han Baek-ha, who had taken care of Baekryeon-ha since she was a baby, could not leave her to die.

Han Baek-ha picked up the spoon that had fallen on the bed, wiped it with his sleeve, and started cooking porridge again.

“You have to live. Then you can do anything.”

“Ahhhhhh……”

“You have to eat it.”

Han Baek-ha forcibly pushed the spoon into her mouth.

Even though Baekryeonha spat it out, he kept putting it in.

It was at that time.

-Drunk!

The door opened.

Han Baek-ha turned his head and frowned.

"you!"

“It’s been a while. Meat and Blood.”

A scarred old man standing at the door.

He was none other than the former Blood King of the Three Kingdoms, Gu Je-yang, who had betrayed them.

Han Baek-ha couldn't hide his bewilderment when he, who was supposed to be locked in the underground prison, showed up here.

“How did you get here…..”

-Bam!

At that moment, Baekryeon-ha grabbed Han Baek-ha's wrist tightly.

Baekryeonha's condition was strange.

The moment I saw the Blood King, Gu Je-yang, my breathing became rapid and I trembled with fear.

Han Baek-ha grabbed her hand and urged her on.

“What have you done!”

“The hint of the magic poison still lingered.”

The person who gave the brainwashing suggestion through poison was none other than the Blood King, Gu Je-yang.

Baekryun was under that influence.

Han Baek-ha shouted, getting angry at Baek-ryeon-ha's poor condition.

“Can’t you put the young lady back to normal right now!”

At her cries, the Blood King Gu Je-Yang smiled broadly and said.

“That’s why I came.”

"what?"

Han Baek-ha's eyes trembled.

At that moment, someone's voice was heard from behind Gu Je-yang.

“Bloodline. We must hurry.”

“It’ll only take a moment.”

The old lady, who was called the Blood Lord, turned her head again and spoke to Han Baek-ha.

“Blood Witch. Let me get straight to the point. Don’t you want everything to go back to how it was?”

“Turn it back?”

In response to her question, Gu Je-yang pointed at Baekryeon-ha with her finger.

“It looks like the magic poison has affected your brain to the point where you can barely speak.”

“Are you threatening me?”

“Threats? I’m making a proposal.”

"proposal?"

Gujeoyang answered in a soft whisper.

“I can detoxify her poison and restore your dantian. Oh. Of course, I’m not talking about Nobu, but someone Nobu serves.”

“Is this the person you serve?”

“Yes. He has conquered life and death, and nothing is impossible for Him.”

The moment Baek-han heard those words from Gu-jeo-yang, he was speechless.

With the Danjeon destroyed, I had already given up on the expectation that my martial arts skills would be restored.

Besides, he was already a serious criminal of the blood cult.

“I think it’s not a bad suggestion. Oh! I almost forgot. He still considers Miss Baekryeon-ha to be the leader of the Blood Cult.”

“Are you taking over as a cult leader?”

Han Baek-ha was absurd.

Who on earth could possibly occupy the position of leader of the Blood Cult without permission?

Without paying any attention to this, Gu Je-Yang said:

“Anyway, once this war is over, the only bloodline of the Baekga clan will be Miss Baekryeonha.”

“What does that mean?”

She was locked up in the annex with Baekryeon-ha and didn't know anything.

However, I could only vaguely feel that there were fewer people around me than usual.

“I guess you didn’t know. I found out after Nobu came out of Geumok, but that old man who was like a monster is dead, and that guy who became the leader is also in danger of dying after being cut by that evil bastard’s sword.”

“Is your life in danger?”

“In the meantime, the Murim Alliance is leading a large army, so the result is obvious.”

She was unaware of this fact.

If so, the current Blood Cult was facing its worst crisis.

Somehow, I finally understood how that guy, Gu Je-yang, was able to escape Geum-ok.

The main body of the Blood Cult is currently in a vulnerable state.

“Since Musangdo has taken action himself, the war won’t last long. If you decide now, I’ll take you and the young lady to him.”

Han Baek-ha couldn't help but waver at Gu Je-yang's suggestion.

The only ones who could fix the damaged Baekryeonha were Mansasinui and Blood King Gu Jeo-yang.

Since the whereabouts of the God of Mansa were unknown, this was the only alternative.

The rescuer spoke to her as she hesitated.

“Are you going to miss this opportunity? Don’t you want to protect Miss Baekryeonha, the only one who inherited the legitimacy?”

“……..”

Han Baek-ha looked at Baek Yeon-ha, who was holding his arm tightly.

I bit my lip at the sight of her trembling with fear.

There was no choice.

If you refuse here, they will kill you and leave.

Soon she nodded.

The rescuer smiled brightly and said.

“I know you made the right choice. Then, bring the young lady and follow me.”

“The young lady’s condition is not good right now, so it is difficult to support her by myself.”

“Don’t worry. Just follow the old lady.”

At those words of relief, Baekryeon-ha's trembling stopped.

Han Baek-ha stuck out his tongue at this sight.

I never knew the power of brainwashing could be this scary.

Even after receiving treatment like that, he was able to control his tremors with just a few words.

“Come on, follow me.”

Then, Han Baek-ha helped Baek Yeon-ha out of the door.

As I came out of the hallway, I saw dead servants and guards here and there.

Judging by the fact that he killed them silently, the masked man who was ahead of Gu Je-yang seemed to have considerable power.

'Are we really at war?'

There weren't many people in the main office that stood out.

It seemed that all of them had been mobilized for the war, leaving only a few who could truly protect Geumok.

The direction the masked man and the rescued sheep were heading was towards the stable.

It looked like he was trying to escape on horseback.

The masked man left the annex and told them to stay behind, saying he would go ahead and check on them.

Gu Je-yang, who had been waiting and standing guard, spoke quietly, making a noise.

“Isn’t it true that things can go wrong? Who would have thought that fortune would follow us like this?”

“……..”

“What a pity. I was just waiting for the day to kill that bastard in Geumok.”

I think I know who Gujeoyang is talking about.

It was a miserable collapse in his hands.

It is brave to endure such cruel torture just because of revenge.

Or is it because he is so sure that someone will come to his rescue?

At that moment, her eyes suddenly trembled as she looked up at the sky.

'ah!'

If your eyes weren't wrong, you saw it.

The rescued sheep, unaware of this, continued to babble.

“It doesn’t matter. You’re going to die anyway. You’ll be grateful to Nobu for this choice for a long time.”

“……Is that so?”

“Do you think there will ever be another golden opportunity to restore the dantian and make the young lady you follow your way into a cult leader?”

Gujeoyang speaks with high spirits.

Han Baek-ha approached him carefully and said.

“Will you let me know?”

“…….I’ll release it at the right time. At the right time.”

Han Baek-ha's expression turned cold at those words from Gu-jeo-yang.

She carefully took something out of her bosom.

It was a sharp shard of longing.

After the Danjeon was abolished and he was confined to the annex, he always carried this with him.

If anything went wrong with Baekryeonha, it was to end her own life.

Gu Je-yang, who had been standing guard, turned her head and said.

“Don’t have any other thoughts. Just one word from the old man will tell you that killing Baekryeonha is not a big deal…”

It was that very moment.

-Phuk!

“Ugh!”

Han Baek-ha stabbed Gu Je-yang in the chest like a flash of lightning.

He too was unable to avoid her surprise attack because his dantian was destroyed.

“This bitch…….”

Han Baek-ha said harshly.

“Although I lived for you, young lady, I am a member of the Blood Cult. Did I expect you to just manipulate the young lady as you wish and satisfy your own greed?”

“You bitch!”

-closely!

Gu Je-yang grabbed Han Baek-ha's wrist, who had stabbed her, with both hands.

Even though she was hit, she was one-armed.

There was no way I could resist with both hands.

'What a bitch!'

Even though blood was flowing out of the palm of his hand that was holding onto the fragment of Tokyo, Han Baek-ha tried to hold on with one arm.

Then, Gu Je-yang kicked her in the stomach.

-puck!

“Ahh!”

The rescued girl staggered and grabbed the shrapnel embedded in her chest.

If I pulled it out hastily, it seemed like there would be severe bleeding.

Then Han Baek-ha suddenly shouted.

“It’s here!!!”

Looking at her like that, Gu Je-yang was dumbfounded.

“Who do you think will save you if you scream? The only people left here are those who are not even worthy of the shouting master’s advice.”

Gu Je-yang was overconfident in the masked man who came to save her.

In reality, there was currently no one in the Blood Sect who could stand up to him.

“AAAAAHHHH!”

“Shut up!”

Gu-Jeong Yang ran towards Han Baek-Ha, who was screaming, holding onto the fragments embedded in her with one hand.

At that moment, Han Baek-ha grabbed Gu Je-yang's arm as he ran towards her and threw her back.

-Papak!

“Huh!”

Even though she had no internal energy, she was a top-notch expert.

There was no way his basic external skills would be weak.

Han Baek-ha, who had been throwing the rescue sheep, hurriedly stepped on the shrapnel embedded in his chest.

“Kkaaaak!”

She ran straight to Baekryeonha and grabbed her hand.

“You have to run, Miss.”

Han Baek-ha tried to run unconditionally while holding her hand with her blank face.

I had to run away with Baekryeonha somehow.

It was that very moment.

-Phuk!

Han Baek-ha lowered his head and looked at his chest.

There, a sword blade was sticking out through his chest.

It was Galju who suddenly appeared and stabbed him in the back.

-Phuk!

“Coolook…..”

As he pulled out his sword, Han Baek-ha coughed up blood and fell forward together with Baek Yeon-ha.

It was like a wooden doll with blank eyes and a lotus flower.

Han Baek-ha's expression as he looked at her was pitiful.

"miss…."

The corners of her eyes, which had been called the cold-blooded witch, turned red at the thought that she would eventually be unable to protect Baekryeonha.

Then Gu Je-yang staggered towards them.

“You fucking bitch!”

Gu Je-yang, who had snatched the sword from Gal-ju, stabbed Han Baek-ha in the back.

-Thud! Thud!

“I don’t need a one-armed bitch anyway.”

Gu Jeo-yang, who had lost her mind, perhaps to vent her anger, stabbed Han Baek-ha like crazy.

After stabbing Gu Je-yang with a sword for a long time, she suddenly felt goosebumps.

Han Baek-ha held one arm upright, fearing that Baekryeon-ha, who was lying underneath him, might get stabbed by the sword.

“This, this bitch…."

He made himself feel dirty all the way to the end.

Gu Je-yang raised his sword and tried to cut off Han Baek-ha's head in one breath.

It was that very moment.

-Whack!

“Ugh!”

The shoulder of Gu Jeo-yang, who was holding the sword, was cut off.

Gu-Jeong Yang couldn't help but feel embarrassed as she looked at her right arm, which was writhing on the floor.

A sharp blade suddenly flew into the air.

The moment I looked up while enduring the pain,

“How about you?”

A red-haired man wearing a demon mask was rushing toward him.

There was no time to avoid it.

A palm flew into his face,

-Wood thud!

The rescuer's neck snapped and dug into his torso.

How can you survive when your head is dug into your body?

Gu Je-yang died on the spot.

"this!"

In an instant, when the rescue mission was over, Galju tried to stab the man in the demon mask with his sword.

-Whack!

But the outstretched hand ended up being cut off.

He was confident that he had reached the pinnacle of skill and that he would not be defeated by anyone.

'Hey, this isn't it.'

But the man in front of me was truly a monster.

“Rain, damn it!”

Galju hurriedly flew the new model without looking back.

There was no other way than to run away.

But it was impossible to escape from the hands of the man in the demon mask.

In an instant, the man who had overtaken him ended up subduing Galju.

Meanwhile,

-Gulp! Tuttuk! Tuttuk!

The blood flowing from Han Baek-ha soaked Baek Yeon-ha’s face.

As the hot blood continued to soak her face, Baekryeonha's dazed eyes soon returned to normal.

Her pupils trembled.

“Ahhh……”

Han Baek-ha appeared with a pale face.

Baekryeon was at a loss as he watched her dying.

I had to save her right away.

At that moment, Han Baek-ha collapsed on her, perhaps because the strength he had been using to support himself with one arm had given out.

“Ahhhhhhhhhh…….”

The dying Han Baek-ha reached out to her head with difficulty.

And he said, stroking my head.

“…….I have to live…….”

“Ahhhhhh! Aaaah …

Tears poured out of Baekryeonha's eyes like a flood.

I couldn't control it.

She was the one who took care of him like a nanny, or rather, like a mother, since he was little.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhh! Ahhhhhhhhhh!”

“……..If you…..cry…….what will you do……”

After saying those words, Han Baek-ha's palm, which had been stroking his head, fell limply.

He hugged her and cried.

The sky cried out for departure.

* * *

-Shoooooooooo!

The rain was still falling.

But Baekryeonha's tears that had been wailing stopped.

I cried for more than half an hour in front of the grave until my throat became hoarse.

Baek Hye-hyang said while looking at her like that.

“Do you want to die? Live anyway.”

Baekryeonha bit her lips tightly.

Her eyes were no longer the death stares of her past.

Baek Hye-hyang turned around and came to me as if she had done her part.

“You did a good job as a big sister.”

“What about you, sister?”

Baek Hye-hyang snorted.

And he said to me.

“I will find the answer to Man Sa Shin. So you catch that bastard. Definitely!”

"……..okay."

Even if you don't say it, I'll catch him.

That guy and I have too many bad connections.

We must break that vicious cycle.

“I feel dirty, but today I have to drink until my nose gets crooked.”

“You probably aren’t feeling better yet.”

“What do you know!”

Baek Hye-hyang flew the new model with a wet bamboo hat on her head.

They were growling at each other as if they were going to kill each other, but I guess they still shed blood.

I guess I should go downstairs now too.

-You're not going to take me?

no.

Now, he will come down on his own.

As I was about to descend from the cemetery, I saw Baekryeonha engraving something on the tombstone.
