Monster Heavenly King - Chapter 111
Only Noblemtl
111. Blood Demon
After the commotion subsided, he let out a deep sigh as if in melancholy.
“When will this be fixed…?”
It was a workshop she worked so hard to create, but it was ruined in an instant like this.
Although it was a pity to hear this from Seo-Ian, Hyun-Seong was satisfied because Seol-Ah seemed to have quite a bit of power.
“Can’t you just repair the hole?”
“If that’s the case, I won’t even sigh like this. Most of my workshop barriers are organically connected. I have to take care of all of them, not just one.”
It’s like something that took years of hard work to perfect, but then it gets damaged and you have to look at it all from the beginning.
It was a total disaster.
“Anyway, please cooperate.”
“That’s possible, but…”
There is a debt and a thank you for releasing Seol-ah’s seal, so it would be best to cooperate here.
“What can I do? I don’t know anything about magic.”
“Just gather what you need.”
“There’s no problem in procuring materials.”
“Well, would you like to rest upstairs for now? There are things I need to get from somewhere other than the 4th floor. I’ll make a list of things you need and give it to you.”
After saying that, Seoian disappeared somewhere.
and,
-You went?
Seol-ah spits out her voice as she disappears.
Because he had committed a crime, he pretended that nothing had happened and did not say a word.
Seol-ah sighs in relief after confirming that Seo-ian is gone.
-I really thought I was going to be sealed again.
“Then do it well.”
-It’s been so long since I’ve handled magic that I’m just so happy…
Did it just explode?
The reason for the accident was also absurd.
If this is what happens as soon as the seal is released, how many more terrible accidents will happen in the future?
I already felt like I had a headache, but I decided to leave that problem for later.
“By the way, I heard you can control magic, but what kind of magic exactly can you use?”
-Well, I checked it roughly, but large-scale magic is not possible, and convenient auxiliary magic is possible, but buff-type magic is not possible. How complicated is the seal?
Seol-ah is mumbling and expressing her discontent towards Seo-ian, who is not present.
Still, I thought it would be quite convenient since there seemed to be quite a few magics that could be used.
Hyunseong came out while listening to Seol-ah’s lament.
“Oh, it’s Master!”
Leah approaches at high speed towards where he is with a lively voice.
Looking at her, it felt more like looking at a giant retriever than a succubus.
Alyssa, who had been following Leah, looked at her with wide eyes.
“You really came.”
“…? What are you talking about?”
Did he think he was dead?
No, there’s no way she knew about the raid.
“I heard a commotion outside and wondered what was going on, and then the young lady said it was you.”
“I felt the Master’s energy!”
Leah speaks proudly, smiling bashfully.
Hyunseong let out a surprised voice.
“You felt my energy?”
It’s only been a few days since I taught Leah about Qi.
It was normal to not even be accustomed to feeling one’s own energy.
But, not only that, he can sense other people’s energy and even distinguish who it is.
‘There was a theory that Gu-eum-jeol-maek was a great genius…’
I had no way of confirming it since I had never seen it before, but I never thought I would find out about it this way.
“Did you do what I asked you to do?”
“Yes! I worked really hard! I didn’t miss a single day!”
“Since you can use magic, you spend all day doing it whenever you have time.”
“But, at first, whenever I had breakfast, a lot of ice would form around me, but recently, it has started to decrease little by little.”
“Hoo.”
Hyunseong let out a soft exclamation of admiration.
Have we already reached the stage of controlling the energy of the nine-syllable pulse?
Since he had been able to control magic from the beginning, his progress was much faster than expected.
“Ta-da! Ice flower!!”
While Hyunseong was still, Ria gathered her energy and showed a small flower in her palm.
It was as if a child was showing off something he had made.
-Oh, that’s pretty good.
The sculpture wasn’t delicate enough to look like a real flower, but it was recognizable as a flower.
I looked at the flower and became lost in thought.
‘At this level, I think it would be okay to put it into action right away?’
After all, it was never easy to create ice out of nothing with one’s own deception.
It wouldn’t be that difficult to instantly freeze an enemy.
At that time, I was thinking like that.
“You were here.”
Seoian’s voice was heard.
She approaches him and hands him a piece of paper with something written on it.
“Here it is.”
“Okay, let’s see what I can bring.”
Hyunseong takes the paper and looks over the list one by one.
“… … ?”
Are you tired?
I put my fingers up to press on my eyes, but the two finger bones went straight into the empty skull.
“What are you doing?”
“No, I thought I saw something wrong.”
There were more than one or two lists written on paper.
Hyunseong, who confirmed that he had not seen things wrong, clenched his teeth.
“No, isn’t this a bit much?”
“While I’m repairing the torn workshop, I’m thinking about reinforcing it as well. And while I’m at it, I’m thinking about reinforcing the external barrier a bit more as well.”
“Distortion barrier? No, why is that?”
“I thought that since Mr. So-and-so was going around making enemies here and there, I might be exposed to some danger as well.”
“… Did the distortion barrier get torn too?”
“No, the distortion barrier is safe, but it doesn’t completely block intruders in the first place.”
It was said that the castle that could not be reached among the Awakened was literally unreachable, but because of that, there were still a few who challenged it.
The reason they haven’t invaded yet is because their numbers are so small.
However, if the beings that have become Hyeonseong’s enemies push in with an absurd number of attacks, we will eventually have to allow them to invade.
“okay?”
“When you first came in, you came in without using any magic.”
As she said, Seol-ah had found a gap at every point where it was distorted and had overcome the maze-like barrier. She hadn’t used any special magic or anything.
“It’s less likely than winning the lottery, but with so many people around, you can’t be 100 percent sure there won’t be any intruders.”
“Okay, I understand.”
Hyunseong eventually had no choice but to give a positive answer.
If any force other than an individual comes here, there is a high probability that it will be someone related to you.
Where can you find a stronghold like this?
There was a need to cooperate, if only for the future.
I looked at the paper she handed me again and gritted my teeth.
“The 2nd and 3rd floors are okay. But I don’t know when I’ll be able to go to the 5th and 6th floors.”
The fifth floor was not far away, but the sixth floor was really not a sure thing.
At Hyunseong’s words, Seoian shrugged and opened her mouth.
“It’s not urgent, so just get it. If it’s really urgent, I’ll go get it.”
“No, but isn’t the area from the 2nd to the 6th floor too much? The range is too wide.”
The reason there is no 4th floor is probably because Seoian has been living on the 4th floor and has accumulated quite a bit of stuff.
She opened her mouth to complain, as if she was being stabbed in the back.
“I know it’s fortunate that there is no 7th floor.”
“… Have you been to the 7th floor?”
“If only I could go.”
Listening to the story, it seemed like he often went out to look for materials.
Since you can use all kinds of magic, you should be confident that you can build your own body.
Hyunseong opened his mouth as he looked at the list written on paper.
‘While the kids are resting, let’s get what we need from the 2nd and 3rd floors and then go up to the 5th floor.’
-This time my seal has been released, so I can move quickly!
‘That’s good news.’
At that moment, Leah, who had been peeking out from behind him and listening to the story, opened her mouth.
“Where are you going as soon as you get here, Master?!”
Leah hugs and binds herself without even listening to the answer.
“No! You can’t go!”
“Oh, Miss?! Such a shameless act?! Get off me right now!”
Alyssa panicked and tried to pull it away, but it was unyielding.
Was he quite dissatisfied with the fact that he was only taught one morning ritual as soon as he was accepted as a disciple?
Hyunseong didn’t try to escape and just quietly rattled his jawbone.
“…Do you want to go together?”
“really?!”
The expression that had been sullen until just a moment ago instantly changed into a bright smile.
Hyunseong chuckles at the sight of her looking at him with sparkling eyes.
If it was going to the 5th floor, I would have thought about it a little more, but since it’s going to the 2nd or 3rd floor, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to take it.
“It’s dangerous outside, young lady!”
Alyssa tried to stop her, but Leah didn’t seem to hear her.
Alyssa glares at Hyunseong with a venomous look.
“What are you doing, trying to take us out when you know how dangerous the outside world is for our species?”
At her words, Hyunseong shrugged his shoulders and gritted his teeth.
“Then I’m going to be locked up for the rest of my life?”
“But, Lady Leah is a princess to our race.”
“And my disciple. I have no intention of raising my disciple as an ornamental plant.”
Since we live in a labyrinth anyway, we will inevitably encounter the Awakened one at some point.
For that reason, I needed to experience what dangers there were outside.
“If you’re really worried, come with me.”
“…I will follow you.”
So, Hyunseong went with Leah and Alyssa to find the necessary items.
-You can stop by Elena or Mr. Kangcheol on your way.
‘I should go to the second floor village sometime too.’
Seoian left first, and Hyunseong went out of the castle, carrying only simple items.
“Okay, then let’s see your skills.”
-Leave it to me!
With Seol-ah’s confident voice, I felt as if magic was surrounding me.
A body that rises at the same time.
“oh?”
-I can link magic with you so you can go wherever you want.
“okay?”
Hyunseong moving around in the air.
He himself was able to walk in the air.
However, walking in the air was literally walking or running in the sky, not flying.
‘however…’
Now, not only is my body floating as if I am in zero gravity, I can even fly at my own will.
It had to be a novel experience.
“This way, it will be easier to find the portal.”
-I used detection magic to find where the portal is. Just go that way.
It only took 30 minutes to leave the castle, find the portal, and arrive in front of it on the 3rd floor.
If Seol-ah hadn’t been there, it would have taken hours, or even days, to find the portal location and wander aimlessly.
As soon as we reached the third floor, we heard Seol-ah’s proud voice.
-Ahem, how is it?
“It’s comfortable, it’s comfortable.”
The overwhelming convenience felt just by breaking one seal.
“Wow! This is the third floor!”
Leah mutters with a bright smile.
Alyssa, who followed behind, looked around cautiously and then noticed something and tried to urgently call Hyunseong.
But before that, the portal that had fulfilled its role disappeared.
“Cover!”
“We must capture it!”
A group of vagrants emerged from the bushes.
