Monster Heavenly King - Chapter 107
Only Noblemtl
107. The Chasers (3)
“The opponent is just a skeleton!”
“Break at least one bone!”
Guys who rush towards you one after another.
The weapons of the Awakened ones approached Hyeonseong, fluttering in the air.
As Hyunseong’s crimson eyes sparkled, Seol-ah took advantage of the gap and drew a clean line.
There are only five numbers that collapse in an instant.
“what?!”
“Huh?!”
Some of them even died instantly without being able to utter a single word.
“[acceleration]!”
“[Lee Yeon-geok]!”
“[jump]!”
The attacks become faster, the attacks continue in quick succession, and they come close to you in an instant.
Even though they used their skills to attack, the Awakened Ones’ attacks were not able to touch even a single bone in Hyunseong’s body.
In the meantime.
Kaang!
The first guy to block Hyunseong’s attack appeared.
Is he just tired or is a stronger one appearing?
Several Awakened people rushed after Hyunseong, who had stopped for a moment without even having time to think about such things.
Kak!
Phew!
He slid right into the Awakened being in front of him and stamped on his instep.
“Eww! My foot!”
A guy screaming in pain from the tips of his toes.
As I pulled out Seol-ah and spun around, the screaming stopped.
As I continued to circle around, the black energy spread out in all directions.
However, what they are aiming for is not the awakened ones but the floor.
Quagaga River!
The sword energy collided with the ground, creating a huge explosion.
The screams of the Awakened ones caught up in it could be heard here and there.
Not only that, the thick smoke blocked the view.
“This is crazy!”
The chaos that comes.
However, Hyunseong moved freely in the smoke and steadily reduced his enemies one by one.
“Stop the smoke with water or wind skills!”
The skill shot with someone’s shout cleared the smoke.
Hyunseong clacks his teeth as if he feels regret at the disappearing smoke.
“The response is faster than I expected.”
If the smoke had cleared later, we might have been able to take down more Awakened.
As the thick smoke cleared, numerous Awakened people who had collapsed nearby along with Hyunseong were revealed.
“Ugh…”
“Save me…”
How long has it been since we entered battle that this hell has been unleashed?
The number of casualties at the hands of Hyunseong has already exceeded 100.
Even the Awakened ones could not help but hesitate in front of its incredible power.
“What skeleton…”
“Hey, I’ve never heard of someone this strong.”
After hearing that there was only one goal, I thought it was great and just ran towards it.
If it were me, I would have first doubted the mobilization of this many people.
-But if guys of this caliber have come, then there must be someone within the Cheonmasingyo who thinks highly of you.
Anyone who would send hundreds of men just to catch a skeleton is someone you’ve probably met at least once.
Seol-ah seemed to think for a moment, then rang the sword bell.
-Are you a cult leader?
“No, that won’t be him.”
Perhaps the guy is training hard to take revenge with his own hands without even fully understanding Hyunseong’s abilities.
So, there was only one candidate left.
‘The law of friendship that was next to the leader of the small group.’
Given that location, mobilizing this number of people wouldn’t have been that difficult.
-Is the law of friendship really that high?
I had an idea that she was a pretty tall guy based on Elena’s reaction, but I didn’t think it would go that far.
As Hyunseong continued his explanation, Seol-ah rang the sword bell.
-I thought it was nothing serious because you hurt me when I was on the third floor.
“… No, things were a bit different back then.”
At that time, he intentionally used other martial arts because he thought that if he used the Heavenly Demonic Art, he would try to capture it by any means necessary.
Besides, even if he had let his guard down, he would have hurt himself with that gap, otherwise his skull would have been split open.
-Then that guy must be in the main unit.
“Maybe so.”
-Do you think you can win this time?
“If he lets his guard down, I can really catch him off guard this time.”
The problem was, though, that he didn’t seem like the kind of guy who would make that mistake twice.
If he continued to fight like this, there was a high chance that he would lose.
but,
‘There’s a trump card here.’
Purungi, located inside Hyunseong’s ribs like a heart.
If you combine with Purungi and fight, your odds of winning will go up to 50/50.
-Then it will be a short-term war.
Even though I recently increased my magic power with my remaining points, the time I could use Purungi wasn’t that long.
So until then, as much as possible-
“We must reduce the enemy!”
Hyunseong, who reached the location where the awakened ones were all at once.
The awakened ones who had been hesitating shouted as if they were cursing when Hyunseong got in between them.
“S, pour out your skills!”
As soon as the voice was heard, the hand holding Seol-ah’s hand moved with a slick.
* * *
“How many people have been mobilized?”
The subordinate bowed his head and answered the question about the law of friendship.
“Yes, there are 800 people in total, 300 from the advance party and 500 from the main force. The advance party includes those who are not yet teachers, and most of them are awakened people who came to the 4th floor without even receiving a single emergency salary.”
“There are quite a number of advance guards.”
“Yes, I originally expected it to be around 100 or 200, but when I put up a bounty, everyone turned their backs and rushed in.”
As expected, there was nothing more urgent than moving an Awakened being in pursuit of strength.
Items could be stolen, but martial arts were something that couldn’t be stolen if learned.
“So what’s the situation?”
“We succeeded in surrounding the mountain where the skeleton you mentioned was. They seemed to have noticed and engaged in combat, but no information has been received since then.”
“Really? Then let’s increase the speed.”
“Do I not have to report to the cult leader?”
“Okay, I take responsibility for everything.”
The subordinate who was heading towards the advance party with the main force opened his mouth cautiously.
“Can I ask you something?”
“what?”
“Why do you mobilize so many people just to catch one skeleton?”
When I first heard the order, I couldn’t believe my ears.
Even if the target is a skeleton, mobilizing hundreds of people is a lot.
Isn’t it more like using a sword to slaughter a dragon rather than a sword to slaughter a cow?
Woo Ho-beop chuckled at his subordinate’s question.
‘I would have thought the same thing if I had only heard the information.’
However, he had personally seen the skeleton and even fought it with a sword.
That’s why I could feel the danger of Hyunseong even more.
‘furthermore…’
A friendly way to heal the wound on your shoulder now.
No matter how much he let his guard down, it was difficult to understand that he had been hurt.
If you think about it systematically, it would be normal if you couldn’t produce even one single scratch.
‘then…’
Hyunseong said that he hurt himself with his own skills, not with the system.
The ability to bridge the gap between systems was something that could never be underestimated.
‘I should have dealt with it then.’
I felt regretful when I thought about the failure caused by that witch’s interference.
It could have been much more developed now than it was then.
‘Perhaps… the advance party might be annihilated.’
But, if it took the guy’s energy away, that would be enough.
After all, the advance party was just a bunch of throwaway words.
If you join the main force later, you will be able to completely corner him.
‘and…’
I wonder if we can also find out the guy’s identity.
The last thing Hyunseong wrote when he fought with himself.
It was clearly the Heavenly Demon Sword Technique.
When I found out, no matter how friendly the law was, I couldn’t help but be confused.
Not only is a mere skeleton using martial arts, but that martial arts is also the Heavenly Demon God’s Art.
While making all sorts of guesses
“Your Majesty.”
The subordinate’s voice was heard.
When I turned my head slightly, my subordinate lowered his head and opened his mouth.
“That’s right, it seems like the party we were with split up. And I heard there’s an Awakened person related to the Association among that group. What should we do?”
“It doesn’t matter. The goal is one skeleton. Discard the other one.”
“All right.”
“Is that all you see?”
“No. The advance party has begun fighting the skeletons, and we have also received reports that the damage is severe.”
“…What is the damage?”
“At least 120 people have collapsed as of the time the report came in, and more are continuing to fall.”
Even the subordinate reporting it opened his mouth with a bewildered expression, as if he found it hard to believe.
There are 120 people, each and every one of them an Awakened who has reached the 4th floor.
You defeated 120 Awakened beings whose abilities far surpassed human specifications?
‘And that too in this short time?’
It was a speed that made me wonder if I could do it myself.
As expected.
I was able to confirm once again that my prediction was not wrong.
“We need to increase our speed. We need to arrive while the advance party is wasting time.”
“all right.”
* * *
“Tch?!”
One of the Awakened ones clicked his tongue and raised his shield.
However, the Seol-ah in Hyun-seong’s hand curled like a snake and pierced his neck from the side.
A guy who immediately starts foaming at the mouth and falls down.
“What the heck! What the hell is that skull?!”
Among the Awakened who fell to Hyunseong’s hands, only a few were able to take a single blow.
The difference in skill level was so great that there was nothing I could do.
Is this what it feels like to fight an Awakened on the front lines?
-Still, the number has decreased considerably, right?
‘About two-thirds.’
When about half of them fell, the Awakened changed their strategy and their movements changed.
These guys only use long-range skills and switch to a defensive stance rather than attacking.
‘They’ve given up on catching me and are just trying to buy time until the main force arrives.’
However, this was a pretty decent way to earn time for Hyunseong.
Anyway, once the main force arrives, they won’t be able to properly participate in the battle.
That’s why Hyunseong conserved his stamina as much as possible and defeated the Awakened ones.
That’s why it took much longer to take down 50 people than it did to take down half of them.
-Have you been in many battles like this?
Seol-ah was impressed by Hyeon-seong’s fighting style.
Rather than focusing all your energy on clearing out the enemy in front of you, think about the enemy that will come after you and distribute your stamina appropriately.
Because this is something you could never do without experiencing it.
‘This was everyday life in the martial arts world, huh?’
From the endless pursuit of the Cheonmasingyo to the Cheonrajimang.
Moreover, even after that, there were fights with the Murim Alliance and the Blood Cult.
A continuation of the previous story.
Thanks to that, I guess it became a habit to minimize stamina consumption when fighting enemies.
‘I didn’t think that would help here either.’
With that thought, Hyunseong poured his internal energy into the dagger he had taken from the fallen Awakened One and threw it.
The raindrops flying in clean arcs each targeted a different person.
Kaang!
visor!
The moment the Awakened ones, who had been guarding Hyeonseongman, lost concentration as they struck down a sword.
Hyunseong stepped on the ground and dug between them.
The moment I tried to swing Seol-ah around.
“?!”
As soon as I reached the running chill, I jumped back again.
Then, a spear is stuck in the same spot it was just before.
He turned his crimson eyes in the direction the window had come from.
There,
“You came.”
The main force arrived with the friendly law.
