Tomb Raider King (도굴왕)

Bingo! A tomb manifestation.

Episode 3: One Suited for Domination

A new one is appearing right now.

Good. Just like the prophecy.

The manifestation has just begun.

I know. We also received a prophecy saying

the Japanese man with the Gold/Silver Axe is near you.

And that you, for some reason,

should be careful around alcohol.

That little shit...

was the guy from the prophecy?

This sure doesn't feel welcoming.

The relic must be a nasty one.

A tomb full of broken swords...

It must belong to the Muramasa.

The Muramasa were a family of swordsmiths active between the Sengoku and Edo eras.

Their blades were known for their exceptional sharpness.

Three generations in a row, from grandfather to father and son,

met their end by a Muramasa blade.

Muramasa, the cursed sword that wiped out an entire family.

This tomb is especially hostile toward humans.

Warning

The relic's vicious aura is attacking your body.

Warning

Your skin is being damaged. Protection is required.

It's already started. I need to clear this tomb fast.

Well, let's get going.

Wait for me, Muramasa.

What the hell, man?!

Damn it, why on earth is this tomb so huge?

I don't have time for this. I have to keep moving.

This tomb is so huge that even the Gold Axe can't locate the relic.

That guy from the Republic of Bent must know where it is.

I should have tailed him and waited for my chance.

At this rate, he'll snatch the Muramasa first.

I need to find that guy.

Where the hell is he?

What happened? Calm down!

Daddy, something's wrong with her!

No! Stop!

That student...

The relic has possessed her.

Anyone cut by that sword will probably end up the same.

Hey, she's acting weird!

If it possesses more people, things are gonna go out of control.

Oh, of course.

Throw a sacrifice into the pit, and a bridge appears.

Hey! Who pushed you guys down there?

Was it a guy from the Republic of Bent?

Yes, it was!

He sang some weird song in his language, and this pit suddenly appeared.

He shoved us in and just ran off!

Good. If he was just here, I still have a chance.

Well, let's see if I can use any of this.

What the hell?!

A rope-shaped bracelet.

And is this mochi?

They're the "Sister Sun and Brother Moon" relic.

The mochi that the tiger demanded from the mother on her way home,

and the rope from heaven that saved the two siblings from being eaten.

You acquired a new title and unlocked a skill.

Perfect timing.

Tie her up!

Oh? You sure about that?

Spin, spin, spin!

Did anyone see where the guy from the Republic of Bent went?

Uh, I did.

He crossed the bridge and went inside the cave.

He must have gotten that info from the prophecy relic's user.

Excuse me!

Could you please do something about this rope?

Play with me, mister! Play with me!

I swear, these relics ...

Hey, come back.

What?! Why?!

No, no! I still want to play!

I'll get you out of here, but you need to help me find that man.

Then we can pay him back for what he did to you.

Okay, so this is where the Future Guide said it would be?

Perfect.

Now, let's have a look.

Where are you, my sweet little relic?

I got rid of all those pesky witnesses.

Now I just need to get Muramasa, and my job is done.

And then I'll find that Japanese bastard who tricked me

and take him out for good.

Once I have Muramasa, no one will stand a chance against me!

Victory is mine!

What the hell?

These are all just broken swords.

Where's Muramasa?!

There he is!

That's him!

How did they get here?

You're gonna pay for what you did!

You were trying to kill us!

Hey, hang on a minute!

So you're behind this?!

Who else?

You had a head start and still couldn't find the relic?

Well, I guess that's all you guys are good for.

Now...

Find the relic, Gold Axe!

So you managed to find me.

If you desire my power, drench me in the blood of ten humans.

Only human blood can restore my broken body.

Refuse, and you will never leave this place.

Whose voice is that?

This is why I hate blade relics.

Is that your test?

That's right!

What's the hold-up? Kill those humans!

I refuse.

Let's see how you like the taste of my dominance.

W-Wait! Wait!

That hurts!

You'll be the one taking the test!

Be a good sword and absorb your copies, Muramasa!

Damn it! You pathetic human!

Climb up slowly and carefully.

How do we climb this?

Whoa, now. You don't get to go with them.

Come on. Let me out.

I'll recommend you to our government!
