Chapter 137: Hidden underground treasure (7)

“Open the door to the treasure room . ”

All three guards flinched at Lee Hameng’s order . They then turned to Yeowun with a shocked look . They had figured they will never see the metal door being opened until their time was over at this place .

‘This young man defeated an elder?’

Chun Yeowun had a pale white face with coldness surrounding him . With the body restructuring, his skin had cleared up and blood points were now invisible that he just looked like a noble who didn’t learn any martial art . If these guards who were super master level warrior couldn’t feel anything at Yeowun, it meant that Yeowun was surely at the superior level .

‘To think I would get to open this door…’

The leader of three guards took out the key from his pocket . Yeowun then glanced over at the metal door that had three keyholes . One was held by instructor for taking care of logs, one was held by the guard and last one was held by Lee Hameng .

‘So, you need all three keys to open this door . ’

It was heavily guarded, even more so than the fifth floor to the library .

“I’ll count, sir . One… two… three!”

At once, three people placed their keys and turned in unison on the count of the guard . At that moment, the wall on both sides of the door trembled and the metal door divided up into half and opened the way in .

It was closed for so long that the thick and ragged old metal door creaked severely as it opened through . Cold air began to seep out from it . Outside was always cold, but the interior of the library was usually warmer . But this place was different . It was very chilling .

‘What is this smell? Leather?’

It was a weird smell . It smelled a bit rotten, but had mixed smell of medicine . A lot of smells were mixed, but it was not bad compared to the black liquid Yeowun found from the Demon Seal Cave . The guard then lit the fire up on the wall and brightened the interior .

“Oh!”

Yeowun gasped with astonishment . The wall of the interior had a faint glow of blue light .

“It’s cold pearl stone . ”

The instructor whispered to Yeowun . The cold pearl stone was the stone that wielded coldness within it . This was why the interior of this room was cold .

“Follow me, please . ”

Lee Hameng took up the fire and walked inside toward the corridor . As they walked in, they were soon at large five-sided room . On the other side to the corridor was a large table also created with cold pearl stone, that had a human arm and leather that seemed to be human skins .

“What is this place?”

This treasure room was not something Yeowun had expected .

“This is the second purpose . ”

Lee Hameng then pointed at the table and offered Yeowun to go closer . Yeowun had cut down many right arms of princes so seeing an arm wasn’t all that weird, but seeing it preserved like that was what made him feel weird . As he walked towards it, the smell of medicine became stronger .

‘Was it worked on to have it from being rot?’

It seems the arm or skins were processed to preserve it . And when Yeowun got up to it, his eyes shook .

“This…?”

He didn’t know when saw from afar, as the arm was lifeless and bony, but the arm had full of scars . And all other skins also had sharp wounds over it . It was a scar left from a blade .

“Blade… markings?’

Blade markings weren’t simple . All of it had sharp energy within it . Yeowun now had very advanced skills to simulate after coming up to the superior level . Yeowun closed his eyes and saw a figure unleashing the unique blade skill that caused these injuries . Unlike the sword skills that had mixes of slash and stab, the blade only had formation made from slash, but it was very unique .

‘This is impossible… how can such a blade skill exist?’

Yeowun tried fighting it with his butterfly dance, but he wasn’t sure if he can defend over then two formations . If he wanted to fight this, he needed counter sword skill of Sword Demon or the formation from Sword Force of the Sky Demon .

‘This is like an entirely different level of blade skill . ’

Yeowun then opened his eyes again . Focusing longer might have put him in a trance . Lee Hameng then got up to him and spoke .

“Can you see what this is?”

“…Is it the right arm of the Sword Demon?”

The arm’s hand was shaped as if it was holding someone . From looking from the fingers, it was sure to be holding a sword when it was cut off . Lee Hameng became astonished and spoke .

“Yes, that is correct . It is the right arm of the Sword Demon . ”

“And these skins?”

“These are skins from the Lord and guards who were killed 500 years ago . ”

“…Blade markings from the Blade God . ”

So these arms and skins were preserved to leave the blade markings left by Blade God . Yeowun was shocked to see this preserved at the underground floor to the library . Yeowun then glanced around, and saw bookshelves at one side of the wall that had three books .

[True Demon Sword Art]

[Twenty Four Demon Sword]

[Analysis of the Blade God’s Blade Formation]

The True Demon Sword Art was legendary sword skill left by Sword Demon . He had two apprentices, but was known to not giving them his own sword skill . But this was where Sword Demon’s relic was at . He wasn’t sure what other two books were, but these were certain to be left by Sword Demon also .

‘Oh…!’

Chun Yeowun then realized the reason for this underground treasure room’s existence .

“So, this place was to find the successor to the Father Chun Ma, and also to find true apprentice that will succeed the will of the Sword Demon . ”

Lee Hameng then smiled .

“Yes . To be more precise, it is to train a future warrior who might be able to counter the blade skill of the Blade God . ”
