Chapter 19: Watch . I'll definitely survive.
The steward, Yi Sabaek, took out a leather pouch from his bosom and sprinkled water in all directions without hesitation.
Chwaaaaaaaah!
I hurriedly examined the floor of the chanism.
Surprisingly, the floor was transparent.
To think that all those things filling the grids of the floor were those expensive crystal stones.
Soon, a faint luminous body was revealed from within the crystals.
It was a path of light.
That path was surely pointing to the Qi Step to escape the trap.
In the end, an unbearable curse flowed from my mouth.
“Th-this piece of sh….”
To think that the way to escape that hellish final gateway, the Sword Forest, was this simple.
chanisms like this always find a way to dig into a person's psychology.
Inside a sealed chanism where everything within sight is covered in iron.
In a place where one could be isolated at any mont, water was naturally a lifeline.
To sprinkle such precious water on the floor?
There was no human who could recklessly take such a risk.
In the first place, this Sword Forest was structured so that it couldn't be broken unless one knew about it in advance.
Damn it, to think they used those good brains to make sothing like this.
Jaegal was even scarier now.
“Young Master, what's wrong…?”
“……No. It's nothing.”
It was a relief that it was dark.
Otherwise, that steward would have seen my flushed face clearly.
“If you follow this path straight ahead, the first gateway will be waiting. Please move quickly before the water dries up. According to the rules, I must now return.”
I carefully examined the sparkling crystal path.
The Asuras and Rakshasas, holding all sorts of spears and swords in their hands, were now all smiling.
It felt like they were mocking my miserable past, and all the blood in my body rushed to my head, but I gritted my teeth and suppressed my anger.
“Well, do you have any last pieces of advice?”
“You must survive.”
“Aigoo, I shouldn't have asked. Go on.”
“Then….”
And so, the steward, Yi Sabaek, walked away from without looking back.
What a cold-hearted person.
I thought he would at least give a word of helpful advice.
Sohow, he was even less affectionate than the Great Murim Alliance guys.
“Heup!”
I moved my body quickly.
The moisture was beginning to seep into the edges of the grid, and the rays of light were gradually weakening.
Since no one was watching anyway, I began to freely unfold the Galaxy Eternal Spirit Steps.
Among the thousands of martial arts I had learned, the one that was sowhat known was the Martial Emperor's footwork, the Galaxy Eternal Spirit Steps.
Papat!
And so, having reached the end of the chanism in an instant, I stopped in front of a large iron door.
It was an iron door that you just pushed open with force, without any particular device, and of course, I didn't hesitate much.
As long as I passed the gateway, the reward of this damn Secret Cave That Repels Demons was certain.
Huh?
But it wasn't pushing open easily.
“Aigoo, damn it.”
Actually, this wasn't the chanism's fault.
This body of mine, with only a handful of muscle strength, was the problem.
I had no choice but to draw up the power of the One Origin Jade Flower.
It was less than a tenth of my pri, but still, it wasn't to the point where I couldn't push open an iron door like this.
Geugeugeugeuk—
As I opened the iron door like that.
What greeted was the musty sll of moss, and a pitch blackness like an abyss.
“Ha….”
If it had been my original self, I would have examined it with my eye techniques, but now I really couldn't see an inch ahead.
I'm not the very adventurous type.
Nor do I particularly enjoy gambling.
As I stood there blankly, unable to easily take a step.
Suddenly, an ice-cold voice was heard, and goosebumps ran down my spine.
It was strange to call it a human voice.
It was terribly dry, yet a chaotic mix of emotions was clearly boiling within it.
His body was not in good condition either.
When one is trapped in a sealed place for a long ti, damp energy fills the lungs, and that voice, which sounded like blood-phlegm was boiling, was proof of that.
He was definitely a person who had not seen the outside world for many years.
And finally.
‘His internal energy is incredible!’
In a sealed space like this, even the smallest sound would resonate like an echo.
But the voice had stopped all at once, as if it had been cut off.
To control one's own energy to this level was not easy even for in my pri.
He might even surpass in my Martial Emperor days.
I sharpened my senses to the extre and closed the iron door.
There was nothing to be gained by provoking a master of that caliber.
‘But who is he?’
He was definitely an absolute master who had reached the realm of a Grand Master.
There was a heavyweight on the level of the Seven Revered of Jianghu in this Jaegal Clan?
