Chapter 1220. Transforming (5)
Creepy winds blew across the ship’s deck.
Even though almost a thousand Japanese warriors stood on this deck, and many more below, not a single person dared to say anything.
Nearly a thousand pairs of eyes were focusing on only one man. And the man in the center of all this attention could barely control his shaking hands.
‘It’s so cold!’
Of course, Gohei meant the blade touching his abdomen. However, he was surprised to learn that the countless eyes piercing him from behind were so much colder.
“Huff, huff! Wheeze!”
Rough, heavy panting escaped from his mouth. Every time he hyperventilated, the blade cut deeper and deeper into his flesh.
Drip...
Vivid pain stung his brain as the blade cut into his gut. The blood from the slight wound trickled down Gohei’s skin.
“Fuu-huuuph!”
As the cold sweat threatened to blind him, Gohei stared at the blade pressing against his gut.
He should thrust that blade deeper and disembowel himself. Cutting himself horizontally once wouldn’t be enough to demonstrate the depth of his beliefs, so he must repeat the action vertically to create a perfect cross on his gut.
