Monster Heavenly King - Chapter 110
Only Noblemtl
110. Unsealing (2)
Originally called Yeouiboju (如意寶珠), it is an object created by Imugi after a thousand years of training to ascend to the heavens as a dragon.
Seoian nodded in agreement to Hyunseong’s words.
“That’s not wrong. It doesn’t have the ability to grant wishes, but it does have the power to do so. Maybe it can control the weather?”
To put it a bit exaggeratedly, it’s like controlling a natural disaster, but to call it a degree is ridiculous.
Should I say that the name Yeouiju is worth it?
Hyunseong looked at the palm-sized jewel he had taken from his armor.
“But this is made inside the body? So this can only be obtained by killing a dragon?”
“That’s possible, but… the idea is scary. Usually, dragons are just handed over, right?”
Hyunseong tilted his head at Seoian’s incredulous look.
“No, it’s said to be created inside the body.”
“That’s nothing to a dragon.”
“You’re cutting open your own body and handing over the stones inside?”
“That’s scary talk again. Of course you’re taking it out with magic.”
“… … ?”
Hyunseong with a question mark above his head as if he couldn’t understand.
Seoian sighed as if he knew what was wrong and opened his mouth.
“By the way, this is different from my previous one, right?”
“Oh really?”
Only then will all the questions be resolved.
Hyunseong thought that the jewels in front of him were like the inner chambers of spirits.
When they say they’ll take out my inner organs, which are no different from my heart, I can’t help but wonder what they’re talking about.
“From the dragon’s perspective, this is just like a reserve of magical power.”
“Then it’s not that precious?”
“That’s only from the dragon’s perspective. From the human’s perspective, it only appears a few times in history.”
Just being acknowledged by the dragon and receiving this magic stone was enough to be talked about as a legend for a long time.
“Haven’t you ever had a dragon die to someone?”
“If we go back to mythology, there is a story about all races coming together to defeat an evil dragon… but other dragons say they helped.”
“A race that is known as the strongest just by appearing is truly different.”
“That’s why no one in that world even thinks about defeating a dragon.”
Just as no one would think they could overcome a natural disaster like a volcanic eruption.
Hyunseong muttered, stroking his chin.
“I wonder if there’s a dragon at the top of the labyrinth?”
-Why? Because you want to fight?
“No, do you think I’m some kind of warrior who fights whenever they meet?”
-You said that, but when I told you that the jewel came from a dragon, you immediately asked if there was anyone who had killed it to get it.
“That’s because you need to know how strong your opponent is…”
-After all, testing one’s skills requires fighting.
“… Ah, I guess I might want to fight over that.”
It is a natural question for a martial artist to wonder how far the strength he has built up throughout his life will extend.
If it’s the strongest race in fantasy, shouldn’t it burn at least once?
Seoian, who was listening, also nodded.
“Hmm, I understand.”
In that world, dragons were perceived as divine beings, so when I first went there, I used to imagine what I would do when fighting.
-But their numbers are so small that I wonder how long they will remain in the labyrinth.
“As far as I know, the total number of dragons in the world is less than 50.”
“Is that all?”
An absurdly small number.
I immediately understood why it was difficult to meet.
Seol-ah, who was talking like that, rang the sword as if something had occurred to her.
-No, that’s not it! Anyway! If I have that, I can release my seal!
“That’s true.”
-Unseal it!
“Don’t you think that the speech is a bit short?”
-Let me go!
“… What the heck, this isn’t fun.”
I thought this was my chance to tease you.
There was a reaction that it was embarrassing that I came in so obediently.
She asks while looking at Hyunseong.
“Can I break the seal?”
“You sealed it.”
“You’re the owner now. I don’t intend to do it if the person using it doesn’t like it.”
-Please! Are you going to do it?!
Seol-ah shouts in a desperate voice.
The seal must have been incredibly frustrating.
Hyunseong clacked his jawbone as if he had no choice.
“Do it. Is this jewel enough? Do you need anything else?”
“This is all I need for the second seal.”
Seol-ah, who had been smiling brightly at Seo-ian’s words, suddenly stopped.
-… … The ‘second seal’…?
Doesn’t that mean there’s more to it?
I never thought it would be more than just a double seal.
“How many times have you sealed it?”
“I did it three times in total.”
“You are poisonous too…”
“If this was a normal sword, it wouldn’t have gone this far.”
-Why are you giving me all those compliments…
“Isn’t that a compliment?”
“But what will change if the second seal is released?”
Seoian seemed to think for a moment at Hyunseong’s question and then opened his mouth.
“You will be able to use some of your own magical power.”
“What? That’s all you have?”
“That’s all. How incredible is that.”
The moment the seal is released, the overall fighting power of the state will increase several times.
The key was that the sword that Hyunseong was holding was called Seol-Ara.
If it wasn’t Seol-ah but some other magic sword, she wouldn’t have said it was that great.
“You don’t know because you’ve never seen it, but it seems like it would be harder to find magic in that world than it is to find magic that he doesn’t know.”
“…okay?”
They say it’s a sword that’s existed since the beginning, but seeing Seoian say this, it definitely seems incredible.
“Usually, magic swords don’t have that much magic stored in them because the wielder has to activate the magic themselves. But Seol-ah doesn’t need to do that.”
“That’s definitely true.”
The fact that there is a self that can decide what magic to use.
That alone made Seol-ah’s magic sword’s value rise astronomically.
“This is going to be somewhat useful.”
-It’s still useful up until now!
“Until now, it was just a sword with a speaking function.”
To be honest, Seol-ah’s words were unique, but as a sword, its performance was good, but it was a famous sword that could be found anywhere if you looked for it.
-Does that ‘good performance’ you’re talking about include directions?
“… No, because of that guidance, the number of enemies has increased.”
-As I said before, that’s the role of a sword! If you want to use a sword of my level, you have to accept that level!
“Now you’re really showing off your guts.”
“It would be a perfect sword if it weren’t for this personality.”
A deep sigh escaped Seoian’s mouth.
Because my ego was so strong, I kept wondering if I could actually break the seal.
‘Even when you can just talk, you end up causing all sorts of accidents.’
What if you could use magic here?
The scale of the accident will only get bigger, never smaller.
The only fortunate thing is that Hyunseong is not the type of person who can be swayed by Seol-ah.
If someone else had asked me to break the seal, I would have refused outright.
‘I don’t know.’
Seoian, who had been lost in thought for a while, eventually decided to lift Seol-ah’s second seal as Hyunseong had requested.
Seoian holding the jewel taken from the armor.
“It’s a bit difficult here, so let’s go underground.”
Following her words, I arrived at the workshop and drew a magic circle, then broke the magic stones and placed them in various places in the magic circle.
“Okay, then put Seol-ah in the center.”
The magic circle begins to glow as soon as Seol-ah leaves the center.
The light began to move dizzily, then was absorbed by Seol-ah’s sword and began to emit a blue light.
A moment later, such a sight unfolded.
The light began to dim and everything diminished.
“Is it the end?”
“end.”
“Is there anything special?”
“There can’t be anything grand about breaking the seal.”
“No, I was going to draw a magic circle too.”
Seoian smiled bitterly at Hyunseong’s words.
The one who sealed Seol-ah was his past self.
It would be normal for a seal that was put in place with all one’s might during the prime of one’s life to not be able to be released even if one were to wake up from death.
It was barely lifted with the help of the dragon’s magic stone and magic circle.
“The unsealing itself was done through illegal means.”
A seal placed by oneself, not by someone else.
It was possible because I knew the structure better than anyone else.
Hyunseong approached Seol-ah, who was in the center of the magic circle where the light had gone out.
“So, how does it feel to have the seal broken?”
-Ugh…
A voice coming from Seol-ah.
It was something that came out because he couldn’t hold back his joy.
-This is it!!!
Seol-ah cheers at her return to power.
At the same time, a storm of magical power swept in.
and,
Boom!
Wow!!!
A blast of magical power tore a hole through the basement.
“… … ”
-… …
The two suddenly became quiet.
Hyunseong looked at Seoian with an ominous feeling.
She stared blankly at the hole in the ceiling.
“…my workshop.”
For a wizard, the workshop is a precious place that cannot be replaced by anything else.
It was a hole in such a workshop.
If there had simply been a hole, I wouldn’t have been this bewildered.
The problem was that part of the barrier that made up the workshop was torn apart.
I thought the seal would be released and an accident would happen someday, but I never expected it to happen right after it was released.
Hyunseong met Seoian’s eyes as she turned her gaze this way.
“Do you want to seal it again?”
“…I wonder?”
-Hey, save me!!!
Seol-ah’s desperate scream echoed through the hole in the basement.
* * *
“Ugh…”
A friendly way to open your eyes to the pain felt in the darkness.
Although my body was complaining of fatigue, I was forced to regain consciousness due to the intense pain.
“Here… ugh.”
Just getting up made me feel like my whole body was being torn apart by pain.
I gritted my teeth and looked around, and I thought I knew where this place was.
‘Is this the hideout of the Heavenly Demon Sect in the labyrinth?’
It was more surprising that he was alive than that he was here.
I thought I was definitely going to die.
Did Hyunseong not kill himself or was he unable to kill himself?
As I thought about it, I suddenly felt a sense of emptiness.
“… … ”
His left arm disappeared.
I had the illusion that I had a left arm even though there was nothing there.
At that moment, the door opened and the subordinate came running in urgently with his eyes wide open.
“Your Majesty! Are you awake?”
“What happened? Why am I here?”
“that is…”
“Tell me the truth.”
A subordinate who reports everything after losing consciousness due to the urging of the Friendship Law.
After hearing the story, Woo-Ho-Beop became lost in thought.
‘… The guys who ran away couldn’t possibly have that level of skill.’
If he was that strong, he wouldn’t have run away in the first place.
Then there is only one possibility left.
They must have escaped safely and called for reinforcements.
As I thought about it that far, a hypothesis came to mind.
‘He was already growing his power.’
It’s like people are coming together.
Considering the time the reinforcements arrived, they must have been not too far away.
In that case, the location is probably a castle that cannot be reached.
“It’s dangerous.”
The law of friendship muttered to itself without realizing it.
There were several problems, but the biggest one was Hyunseong’s existence.
but,
‘It’s beyond my ability.’
He was already defeated by him.
But I couldn’t just sit back and watch.
Shouldn’t we do something for the Cheonmasin Church?
He raised his painful body and his eyes sparkled.
‘I must inform Heavenly Demon of his existence.’
