Death Trance

---

Did you hear?

What?

He's close by.

Who?

The coffin man!

Coffin?

The coffin that grants your wishes!

Does it really grant wishes?

Yeah.

He kills people for a hobby...

...and once, he declared war on his

own and destroyed an entire country.

By himself?

That's right. By himself?

He uses a gun

What does he look like?

I've heard he's more than ten

times the average man's height.

Isn't that too big?

He's probably not human.

He's a monster.

Really?

He has a child with him, but I've

heard that's just for him to eat.

Inside the coffin are all the

heads of the people he killed.

I thought the coffin could grant wishes.

No, that's wrong. There

are treasures inside.

Treasures?

Anyway, it's just him.

Doesn't it mean we have luck on our

side with the coffin out of the temple?

Archbishop!

Are you all right? What happened here?

The coffin...

Coffin?

Who took the coffin?

Who were they?

It was one man...

One man?

Don't tell me just one

man took the coffin!

Yes, he did...

When the seal of the coffin has been

broken, the end of the world will come.

He must be stopped at any cost.

Go. Pursue the man.

You got anything to eat?

Yes, sir. You got anything to eat?

Give me all you've got.

Yes, sir. Give me all you've got.

Oh, and that one, too.

Give me your strongest stuff.

Oh, maybe it's that way...

You're the monk from the East Temple?

Where's the coffin?

Can't you speak?

I hate monks.

Die.

Need some help?

Before you run away, tell me...

W:

- What?

Have you seen a man dragging

a coffin around here?

I:

- I don't know!

Bull's eye.

I thank you for saving my life but...

I don't approve of your

meaningless killings.

Killings?

You can only say that

while you're alive.

You're looking for the

coffin guy, too, right?

Be careful.

People around here hate monks.

Why?

Those who went to the East Temple

to rob the coffin never came back.

I heard that the monks killed them

and turned them into stone statues.

Isn't that considered killing?

It is to protect the coffin.

Protecting the coffin is important

enough to make monks kill, huh?

By the way...

I gotta say you're one sorry

wimp for a monk from that temple.

That's not true.

Why are you mad?

I am not.

Are too. I am not.

I'm sorry.

Where did you get that coffin?

Is he THE coffin guy?

Did you get that from the East Temple?

He doesn't look so tough.

You got a problem?

What are you gonna do about it?

Our temple has been protecting that

coffin for over a hundred years.

Many tried to get their

hands on the coffin...

...but no one ever took

it out of the temple...

Until that man showed up...

Um, excuse me... Are you listening?

Are you listening?

I don't know what you're talking about.

I'm also after the coffin.

Makes me want to thank that

man for dragging the coffin...

...from that invulnerable temple.

All I need to do now is to kill him.

Why do you seek the coffin?

Don't act like you don't know anything.

That coffin grants you all your wishes.

Everybody knows that.

That's...

My mission is to take the

coffin back to the temple.

What can a monk like you possibly do?

To rob the coffin all by himself?

He must be very strong.

I wonder what he looks like.

During my travels,

I heard rumors that...

...he was three times the

height of a man, enjoys...

Oh, I'm sorry. Go on.

He enjoys killing people and

is a monster that eats children.

What's so funny?

You can't be serious.

Are you trying to scare me or something?

You can say that because

you haven't seen him.

Have you seen him?

No.

Let me tell you something.

It's not about the coffin man...

...but there lives a monster in

the forbidden forest in the west.

But nobody's ever seen him.

Just like your temple,

nobody's lived to tell about it.

Let's play...

Let's play...

Let's play...

Let's play...

Let's play...

What is this?

Take this sword and pursue the man!

I can't use a sword!

Besides, I'm just an apprentice

monk. I am not suited...

...for such an important duty.

If you cannot use the sword,

look for the one who can.

The one who is chosen by the sword,

the one who can stop the destruction!

Find him!

That's some strange looking

sword you have there.

Let me see.

I can't draw it. It's useless!

Um, can you tell me where we're heading?

I thought we're looking for

the coffin man, aren't we?

Will you be quiet?

I'm sorry...

We're heading to the forbidden forest in

the west to find the coffin, of course...

The forbidden forest in the west?

Wishes are granted if

you take the coffin there.

Your wishes will not be granted...

What's wrong with you?

Why do you have to ruin

someone's dream like that?

You know what's really

inside that coffin, don't you?

You don't want to tell me, huh?

...in that case I

won't ask you anymore...

...but I am going to

get that coffin from him!

Can you really do that?

I'm doing it because I believe I can.

If you have any doubts,

then go back to your temple!

When did you...

Please give it back!

Do you know what this sword is?

That is something that our

temple has had for generations.

Give it back!

If you don't know what this

sword is... Give it back!

...it's useless.

You can't unsheathe this sword, can you?

I will borrow this sword.

You won't be needing it yet.

Give it back!

Hey.

Wait, wait!

Please hold on a minute!

I'm not your enemy.

I'm looking for the man with a coffin.

Please wait.

He's a cruel, barbaric, vicious

man looking like a monster.

Have you seen him?

Monster?

Is he powerful?

Yes.

He might not even be human.

Where is he?

I'm looking for him, I

don't know where he is.

Well then, let me

know when you find him.

I'll take him on.

Excuse me...

Help me look for it!

What are you looking for?

A coffin.

A coffin?

Hey. You gonna keep following me?

Didn't you hear me?

It's annoying. Get lost!

Did you really steal the

coffin from the temple?

You.

You have anything to eat?

Food!

N:

- No...

You're lying.

No. You're lying.

I'm so hungry.

If you're the coffin man,

how did you lose the coffin?

Did somebody steal it from you?

I just lost it.

I stole it because I heard

it would grant wishes...

Did you also believe that rumor?

The one where your wishes are

granted if you open the coffin?

But it's not true.

A long time ago, there existed a

ferocious goddess in the heavens...

A ferocious goddess?

Is she powerful?

She repeatedly destroyed

and slaughtered...

...and was banished from

the heavens to this world...

Since then, this world

continuously has battles...

...because of the conflict

the goddess created.

The Archbishop told me.

Conflict provokes another conflict,

and these struggles continue endlessly.

Power is meaningless... Don't you agree?

W:

- What did you do that for?

Your stories are too long.

Shut up!

You didn't have to hit me...

You're the one who asked me...

If I destroy this...

What happened?

Was it you? Did you take my coffin?

Why are you smiling?
