Absolute Sword Sense

[Episode 109, Final Chapter (2)]

The rumor spread throughout the Murim Federation in less than half a day.

The death of So Unhwi, the leader and the greatest swordsman in the world.

The rumor that he, who could be said to be the greatest force of the Murim Alliance, was killed by an unknown monster leading monsters shocked everyone.

There were some who doubted it, but the news that Baek Hyang-muk, the Infinite First Sword, was also defeated and lost martial arts added further credibility to this.

“The greatest sword in the world is dead!”

“I can’t believe it. How could this happen.....”

“Whether it’s true or not, if it happened to them too, wouldn’t they all die like this?”

“You’re fighting things that aren’t human in the first place.”

“Damn it!”

This had a huge impact on everyone who was fully prepared to face the enemy.

The vague fear of the enemy caused them to lose their fighting spirit and lowered the morale of the Murim Alliance.

“It’s a lie…..that can’t be possible.”

“Your brother is dying? “What is that?”

The people who were most saddened upon hearing this sad news were Su Yingying and Sima Ying.

At first, I never believed this.

They were the ones who knew the strength of So Woon-hwi, or Jin Woon-hwi, more than anyone else.

However, it was not until he saw the broken sword of the Namcheoncheolgeom that he cherished like his life that he began to think that it might be true.

“miss. “Ugh.”

“sister. “My brother...hi!”

The two women hugged each other and sobbed for more than two photos.

I was able to stop this only because my eyes were swollen and my throat was hoarse.

In fact, it wasn't that I stopped being sad because I was exhausted, but rather because I felt anger building up more and more and had to prepare for the worst to come.

“sister. “I have to go to Sabaek again.”

“Are you okay? “It’s already happened a few times…”

“But we have to talk about it one more time. “There hasn’t been any news from Samachak, or your in-laws, yet?”

Sima Ying nodded and answered those words.

“It’s only been four days.”

It has been four days since Sima Ying's father, Wolak Sword Sima Chak, left the Wulin Federation.

There has been no news yet.

I thought my father would have arrived there, but I couldn't help but feel uneasy because I hadn't heard from him yet.

“sorry. It's not your job. “It’s because of me…”

“What are you talking about? “Your job is now my job.”

“But now...”

I couldn’t bear to say anything again.

It was because the moment she was told that her brother had died, she seemed to completely accept this fact.

Sima Ying also understood her feelings, so he just held her hand tightly.

“are you okay. Rather, let’s go.”

“......all right.”

Su Yingying hurriedly headed to the headquarters of the Wulin Federation.

Not long after, around the time of Shincho, the elders and some of the remaining members of the martial arts league went to Maseong, the front line.

Before that, you need to convince them again.

When I went to the headquarters building, I guess I was just at the right time when I saw Jo Cheong-un, a member of the Four Baek Hyeongsan Ilgeom, with several elders.

“Four hundred!”

“Young-ah.”

As soon as he saw her, Zhao Qingyun placed his hand on his forehead and sighed.

As if he already knew what she was going to say.

“Please give me a moment.”

Cho Cheong-un shook his head and responded to her words.

“Are you here to talk about that again?”

“.......yes.”

“Didn’t you say no? Even if it is passed at the meeting, it is already too late. “It is not appropriate in terms of distance or time to request reinforcements from the blood religion.”

It was like that.

What she was trying to request from Jo Cheong-un, the Four Baek, was to request reinforcements from the blood religion.

The martial arts alliance's power encompasses all political factions, so it is said to be the most numerically superior, but the number of its enemies is as high as 300,000.

It was absolutely not something that could be prevented with the power of the Wulin Federation alone.

Su Yingying said in a earnest voice.

“Please, Sabaek, persuade the vice-lord and elders. “Now is not the time to decide between political issues, but rather a time for everyone in the Jungwon Moorim to join forces.”

“I know what you mean. However, the timing has already been missed. Moreover, a political and political alliance is not something that can be easily achieved haphazardly.”

Jo Cheong-un also understood her argument.

But now, there was nothing the Murim Federation could do.

Just five days ago, the number of monsters was far below the martial arts alliance's strength.

However, no one could have imagined that it would grow so exponentially.

“In the current situation, the best option is to wait for the reinforcements sent to the Musou Province side to arrive. “That was the decision made at the elders’ meeting.”

As Jo Cheong-un said, the council of elders urgently sent someone to Musangseong three days ago.

Of course it was a request for reinforcements.

The coast where Wushuang Province was located was Shaanxi Province, just north of Hubei Province.

Because it was located along the Yangtze River, it was in a position where it was possible to move south quickly and send reinforcements to the Murim Federation, at least compared to Hyeonggyo, which took 15 days to travel north.

“As you will soon find out, if reinforcements from the peerless provinces arrive within at least five days and the regular army of the Imperial Capital joins within ten days, there is a slim chance.”

“The premise is that you have to last at least five days.”

“.......okay. yes.”

So far, there has been no place that has lasted more than a day.

In fact, it was a situation where everything was left to a possibility that was less than 10%.

“Did you keep this in mind?”

“What do you mean?”

“It would be better to retreat south of the Yangtze River.”

“what?”

Jo Cheong-un frowned at those words.

“Are you saying we should abandon infinity, which is the center of the current situation?”

Her argument was no different from his.

“No matter how well you strategize, how can you buy time against 300,000 monsters that are not even human?”

“Even so, Wuhan is a sacred place for political factions.”

“What good is a shrine if everyone is dead?”

“You have a point, but if we retreat, what will happen to the helpless civilians?”

“ah!”

Jo Cheong-un's sharp criticism left her speechless.

In Wuhan, there were not only martial people or government troops.

Naturally, there were more civilians living in this land.

“Do you know what it means to be responsible?”

“........”

“If we leave, the helpless civilians will be unable to do anything and will be killed.”

Su Yingying bit her lip tightly.

The unconditional insistence on retreat to the south of the Yangtze River did not support the cause.

They were different from Sapa or other sects.

It was a political faction that believed in justice.

If the Murim League abandons the powerless to that extent, how is it any different from Sapa?

“.......Sabaek is right.”

“I understand what you mean, but please be more cool-headed. And trust those higher up.”

With those words, Jo Cheong-un tried to return to the waiting elders.

So Yeong-yeong grabbed him by his collar and said.

“If...if the blood religion sends reinforcements, wouldn’t it be possible to delay them by moving the defense line a little lower, even if it’s not free?”

“Reinforcements from the blood religion?”

Jo Cheong-un sighed at her words.

It was clear that in recent years, blood religion had taken on a different aspect from what they had previously known.

But whether they would actually send large-scale reinforcements was a separate question.

The elders also judged that the possibility was slim, so they only requested support from the Wushuangseong and the Ecliptic.

“It doesn’t look like the blood religion will send reinforcements.”

“What if I send it?”

“We have no allies and we didn’t request reinforcements, so how can they send reinforcements?...”

“.......I requested them.”

“what?”

For a moment, Zhao Qingyun was dazed.

It was absurd that she, who was not just anyone else but a disciple of the Hyeongsan Sect, would request an alliance with the Blood Cult without permission.

“What on earth were you thinking when you did that!”

“Even though we are not in a position to decide between political affairs, no one asks for reinforcements from the blood religion!”

“........ha. Didn't you tell me? It is said that the probability that the Blood Cult will accept this request is extremely low. They have even been exterminated by their own will. But how can they help at the risk?”

“But...”

“You did something for nothing. “On the contrary, your immature behavior has only made my situation even more ridiculous.”

Jo Cheong-un clicked his tongue as if he was disappointed.

“We could send reinforcements.....”

“Didn’t you say that was impossible? “How could it be that the Blood Cult came at the request of a single person, not an official request from the Martial Arts Federation?”

So Yeong-young, who was momentarily upset by his words, wanted to reveal the truth.

The fact that her brother is not only the leader, but also a blood demon.

However, if she reveals this, no matter how precarious the situation is, she herself will be accused of being a spy for the blood religion.

‘Ah...I guess there's nothing we can do.'

If things continue like this, everyone will be in danger.

As he said, he wasn't his brother, and he wasn't sure if he would move in the blood religion with the letter he sent, and even if reinforcements came, the enemies were right around the corner.

‘Now it's really just everyone's effort...'

-Puuuuuuu!

At that time, the sound of a horn echoed throughout the castle.

‘!?'

Upon hearing this, Su Yingying and Zhao Qingyun could not hide their embarrassment.

This meant an emergency war situation.

“no way?”

At that time, a warrior from the Murim League, who appeared to be a messenger sent from the horse, hurriedly launched a light attack and approached the main group.

“What’s going on?”

Zhao Qingyun hurriedly asked the messenger.

Then the messenger running inside shouted.

“This monster’s army has already arrived on horseback!”

* * *

It exceeded everyone's expectations.

Lastly, considering the time of their appearance and the travel period, I predicted that they would arrive late the next day or the evening of the day after.

However, the movement power of the monster army was so fast that it seemed as if all the predictions were ridiculous.

As a result, all the forces remaining in the Murim Alliance hurriedly joined the horse race.

Because even the government army joined in, the sight of a much larger force gathered to build a defense line than during the Great War was truly spectacular.

However, about 300,000 monsters filled the black horizon 10 miles ahead.

When I saw them, I couldn't help but change my mind.

Everyone couldn't keep their mouths shut.

“.......too many.”

“Was the three-fold difference this much?”

“How can you stop that?”

The warriors and government soldiers of the Murim League watching them from the front were losing their will to fight.

This was the same for the vice-lords of the royal family, Jingyun, and the elders.

It was to the point where I began to wonder whether I would be able to withstand them for more than five days.

‘ha. It is a heavy and amulet.'

It was a situation that I had no choice but to admit.

But I can't back down.

If they are pushed out from here, not only the political faction, but the entire Central Plains will be in danger.

-Sreung!

“Ready for battle!”

Jingyun pulled out his poisonous weapon, Paeyeoldo, and shouted.

-visor! visor! visor!

Everyone followed him and drew their weapons.

However, once the fighting spirit was shriveled and died, it did not easily come back to life.

Unlike the Murim Alliance side, where everyone was tinged with tension, the monsters were tinged with excitement as if they recognized their feelings of fear and terror.

-Kwaaaaaah!

-Crrrrr!

-Gooooooooo!

The land of the demons was being eroded hideously by the bizarre cries of the roaring monsters.

I couldn't hide my satisfaction with the half-human half-human being emitting four yellow eye lights leading them at the head of the monsters.

“Master. “Can you feel it?”

“Feel so good. Fear and horror are the devil’s great food.”

“Their fear was at its peak.”

A man in black robes with snow-white snake eyes held out his hand.

The hand seems to be picking fruit.

“These are truly foolish things. “Even though your life is at risk, you act like a moth jumping into a fire instead of running away.”

“Even the slightest cruelty will be surrendered before Master.”

“There is no need for surrender. “Stain this demonic land with blood.”

“I will follow your orders.”

With those words, a half-human, half-dead being stepped forward.

He then shouted, pointing with his hand at the military strength of the martial arts league and government, numbering over 80,000 people, who were building a defense line in front of him.

“This is the name of the demon master who rules over ten thousand demons. “Exterminate every single human being!”

-Kwaaaaaah!

-Uuuuuuu!

As soon as the order was given, up to 300,000 monsters roared and advanced forward.

Although they were 10 ri away, the sight of them pushing in in pitch-black darkness made both the martial people and the government army swallow dry saliva and could not hide their tension.

It was the same for Su Yingying and Sima Ying.

‘Brother...'

‘Confucius!'

-Doo doo doo doo doo!

The earth gradually began to tremble violently.

They got closer.

Everyone holding the military flag had strength in their hands.

It was right then.

-ridge! ridge! ridge! ridge! Puuuuuuu!

From somewhere, the sound of horns rang out along with the sound of drums.

At this, the monsters that were advancing forward all stopped and looked towards the northwest.

The sound was heard from a high hill in the plateau, and two small figures could be seen there.

“sister!”

Su Yingying held tightly the wrist of Sima Ying who was next to her.

As expected, the person standing on the hill was none other than Samachak, the Wolak Sword, and Jinseongbaek, the Heartless Wind God, the lord of the peerless castle.

‘Ahhh. father!'

The place where Wolak Sword Samachak was heading was none other than Mussangseong.

Of course, I thought there would be a delay of a few days, but it turned out to be beyond my expectations.

Jin Seongbaek, the Heartless Wind God, said while looking at the numerous monster forces from the hill of the plateau.

“......In-law. “I guess I was right on time.”

The term “in-law” was still awkward for me.

“...I think so. “In-laws.”

It was equally awkward for Samachak.

Anyway, it was a fortunate thing.

From the beginning, he had hoped to move south from Wushuang Province first, otherwise he would have lost his daughter in the disaster of war.

-chuck!

When Jin Seong-baek raised his hand, a large crowd of people appeared on the hill of the plateau.

They were an unparalleled force.

At first glance, there seemed to be more than 30,000 people.

Wow!!!

The warriors of the Murim Alliance, whose morale was low, shouted.

“It’s peerless! Vice leader! “I can’t believe they arrived so quickly!”

“Ahhh! “Is there anything I can be thankful for?”

The leaders were also upset.

The goal was to hold out until reinforcements arrived, but I had no idea they would arrive from Musou Province so quickly.

Of course, the reality was that they moved south without requesting reinforcements.

But Vice Lord Gyun Gyun’s face was still stiff.

‘It's still not enough.'

Even if Samman joined, the power difference of three times was still almost the same.

That's why the monsters don't seem to have much of a reaction.

As he expected, the half-human and half-demon being leading the monsters, or the devil, found this situation rather interesting.

“There is no need to go all the way north. “Master.”

In any case, matchlessness was also their goal.

If we gathered together like this, it was an opportunity to deal with it all at once.

Ma Seon snorted and said.

“Nothing will change. Everything is dead...”

-Shudder!

Without speaking, Ma Seon suddenly turned his head towards the southwest.

“Master?”

As I wondered why, the four half-human eyes grew bigger little by little.

‘no?'

A large crowd of people could be seen streaming from the low mountain peaks to the south.

It wasn't just the army of demon ships or monsters that found them filling up the entire mountain like a swarm of red ants.

The leaders of the Murim Federation also noticed this.

“Unbelievable?”

“No way, they...”

Even though they were far away, there was no way they didn’t know what those red uniforms and flags meant.

“Blood religion!”

They were none other than the power of the blood religion.

It was thought that they could come since the Musangseong had requested reinforcements, but their appearance was something no one could have predicted.

No, I couldn't even understand why I came here.

“How can a blood religion provide reinforcements?”

“Are they really sending reinforcements?”

“oh my god!”

“for a moment? “I think it’s not just a blood religion.”

The number was so great that it could only be considered a blood religion.

Looking closely, I saw people wearing other clothes besides the red ones.

“Huh? “Those on the mountain peak over there are green forests!”

“I think that’s eighteen houses along the Yangtze River.”

In the place they pointed to, there were groups of various sects in addition to the blood religion.

That number seemed to add up to fifty thousand.

No one could have predicted that the day would come when they would be so happy to see them.

“Why them?”

“I can’t believe it.”

Unlike other leaders who reacted this way, Hyeongsan Ilgeom Cho Cheong-un was dumbfounded by this scene.

He was convinced that even if he requested reinforcements, they would never come.

Moreover, isn't the person who made the request nothing more than the vice president of a single party and not the leader of the Murim League?

But it really came true.

‘under! ‘Do you mean they granted Young-Ah's request?'

It was a sight that was hard to believe even after seeing it.

Zhao Qingyun’s eyes naturally turned to Su Yingying.

So Yeong-yeong also couldn't help but be moved by the sight of Hyeol-gyo arriving much faster than he had expected.

‘You're coming!'

There were even tears in the corners of my eyes.

Even she was skeptical.

Would he accept his request for reinforcements sent through Seolbaek, even though his brother was not there?

But he really came.

The leader of the blood religion crossing the mountain peak.

There were Baek Hye-hyang with red hair wearing a demon mask and Seolbaek with flowing silver hair.

“hey. “Isn’t it faster than you said?”

Seolbaek snorted and said in response to Baek Hye-hyang's nervous urging.

“The vice-religious leader’s attitude towards the second wife of the religious leader is arrogant.”

“Second wife?Who said you consider your second wife?”

They are ready to stop and fight right now.
