Because it is later found out that even without any open wound, the curse can still hurt him internally if he doesn't wield it for four days (And bear in mind, the sword already influenced him long enough that he's still a broody person without it), which is an excruciating feeling for him, but this one instead of killing him, it drives him closer in becoming the scourge. So yeah, with or without wounds, he can't stop the impeding doom that awaits him unless he can find the cure.
