Monster Heavenly King - Chapter 112
Only Noblemtl
112. Blood Demon (2)
Hyunseong looked at the vagrants around him.
I thought we might meet at least once, since the third floor is a den of vagabonds.
however,
‘I never thought you’d welcome me as soon as I got here.’
Not once, but twice.
The homeless people’s eyes were fixed on Leah and Alyssa and had no intention of turning back.
“Wow, who would have thought I’d see a succubus in a place like this!”
“What a windfall!”
-They welcome you warmly more than when you first came to the 3rd floor?
‘of course.’
To them, it would have been like a pumpkin rolling in on a vine.
Alyssa immediately drew her sword.
“Are you thinking of resisting?”
“Hey, take it easy. What if it gets scratched and the price goes down?”
“How much do succubi make these days?”
“How much is it? If you’re a succubus, it’s worth it.”
The vagabonds were already smiling brightly.
In the meantime, the guys frown upon seeing Hyeonseong.
“By the way, what is this skeleton?”
“A succubus and a skeleton? That’s a bit of an odd combination.”
“They’re from the 4th floor. Aren’t they the famous skeletons?”
“Even the vagabonds know, I guess I’ve become quite famous.”
-I know.
The eyes of the vagabonds widened at Hyunseong’s voice.
“?”
“What did you just say?”
“What kind of nonsense are you talking about?”
“Why, is this your first time seeing a talking skeleton?”
“… … ?!”
The attention that had been focused on the succubus until just now suddenly turned here.
How many people think that one day in their life they will talk to a monster?
Despite their reactions, Hyunseong drew his sword and struck his teeth indifferently.
“We already have a lot of work to do. Let’s finish it quickly.”
“what?”
“On the topic of skeletons… Do you think we can’t go to the 4th floor and stay here?”
For a moment, I was surprised that Hyunseong was talking.
Vagabonds approaching with veins rising on their foreheads at a single, low-pitched provocation.
I never thought you would react this strongly.
They were worth scratching.
“What, that wasn’t it? Of course I thought they were losers and were hiding.”
“You little punk! Don’t talk nonsense with your mouth open!”
Eventually, the vagrants who could not stand the provocation rushed in.
Hyunseong looked at the Awakened people running towards him in a disorderly manner and clacked his teeth in disappointment.
‘I guess there’s no need to pull out Seol-ah at this point.’
Hyunseong went about killing the vagabonds one by one without drawing his sword.
From behind, I saw a few other vagrants walking towards Alyssa and Leah…
“What is this succubus?!”
“Isn’t it strong?!”
I couldn’t even touch my collar.
According to Leah, Alyssa was one of the strongest succubi.
‘Because the Queen entrusted her daughter to you.’
– Well, Celine wouldn’t have left her daughter to just anyone.
So it wasn’t all that surprising that Alyssa beat the bum.
The real surprise was Leah.
“Eight!”
Damn it!
“Ugh?!”
“What the fuck is this?!”
The hands of the homeless people who were crying out in pain were already frozen.
It’s so cold that you can feel it even from here, at some distance.
He himself has not yet told Leah anything other than the lucky breakfast.
In other words, just releasing the negative energy of the Nine-Eyed Sword alone produced that level of power.
‘Even though it was once considered the best martial arts in the world… it’s still amazing.’
The power was so great that it was thought to be impossible beyond the difficult conditions.
Seol-ah, who saw Leah fighting, couldn’t help but react as if it were natural.
-It’s a negative energy that is difficult for humans to handle in the first place. It’s bound to be powerful because it’s released by concentrating it on one point.
He had an innocent and mischievous smile on his face, but his attacks were anything but powerful.
In the end, I couldn’t even approach Leah, let alone Alyssa.
It didn’t take long for the vagrants to be taken down.
“You know, miss? There are a lot of guys like this out there.”
After the battle, Alyssa began to educate Leah about how dangerous it was out there.
but,
“Really?! So these humans are coming again?”
“… … ”
Leah’s eyes just sparkled as if she didn’t care about any of that.
He was just happy that he could use the magic he had longed for, and that he could fight harder as the enemies came.
“Master! How was I?!”
“good job.”
Leah sticks her head out as if asking to be petted.
As I raised my wrist bones above my head as if I had no other choice, she smiled as if she had done it.
“lol.”
“At this level, I guess I can start learning vegetarianism right away?”
“Really?!”
“I’ll let you know soon.”
As they were talking, Alyssa sighed upon seeing the sight.
She asks, wishing to go back as soon as possible.
“So, what is it that we need to find here?”
“Let’s see… .”
Hyunseong takes out the paper he received from Seoian.
There were quite a few things to find on the third floor, such as ogre tendons and giant spider webs.
The good news is that these are things you can get from commonly seen monsters.
Hyunseong, who had been quietly looking at the list, raised a question.
“Can something like this be used as material for a magic circle?”
-Depending on how it is processed.
“That’s amazing.”
Hyunseong started to gather materials by going around the third floor.
Most things were not too difficult to obtain.
As I was passing by, I saw the Steel Forge and took a quick look, but there was only a sign hanging in front of the door that said [Temporarily closed].
-What, where did that old man go?
“I guess he said it was a hobby, but he went back to his main job.”
If you went upstairs, you might be able to meet him soon if you do well.
With that thought in mind, I headed to the third floor to get the last ingredient.
The destination is the Witch’s Forest.
That’s where Elena was.
-It’s the same here.
“No, how much time has passed for it to change?”
-Is that so? It feels like it’s been a long time since I’ve been here.
Leah’s eyes sparkled as she spotted the house in the middle of the forest.
“There is a house here, Master!”
“Yes, this is where the witch of the forest lives.”
“So there’s a witch living here? What’s the difference between a witch and a banshee?”
Leah, who chatters nonstop.
Just then, sensing the commotion, the door opened and a woman appeared.
The one there is the forest witch, Elena.
“…Huh?”
She looked this way and her eyes widened.
It’s been just over a month since Hyunseong headed to the 4th floor.
I didn’t expect to see you again so soon.
furthermore,
‘… You’ve become incredibly strong?’
The atmosphere was completely different.
If before I felt like I was watching a growing rookie, now I feel like I’m watching a fully grown veteran.
‘What on earth happened on the 4th floor?’
The most questionable thing was that even if the growth rate was steep, it was too steep.
Naturally, questions arose in my mind.
If he continues to grow like this, by the time he conquers all 5 floors, he won’t be able to guarantee victory.
She soon opened her mouth, putting aside her many questions.
“I didn’t think I’d see you again so soon. I thought it would be at least next year.”
“I just stopped by because I needed something.”
“But… who’s next to him?”
Elena looks at Leah and Alyssa.
I know it’s a monster, but it’s not an ordinary monster like the one Hyunseong brought.
Before Hyunseong could explain, Leah opened her mouth in a cheerful voice.
“Hello! My name is Leah!”
Leah greets us in fairly fluent Korean.
It seemed like he had learned it from Seoian while he was out.
Elena, who had received the greeting, looked at Leah intently without answering.
and.
“Excuse me, I’m asking just in case. Are you… a succubus?”
“Yes, I’m a succubus! Shall I show you?”
What on earth are you trying to show me?
Leah takes a stance without giving anyone a chance to ask.
“Oh, miss, how can you be so shameless in a place like this?!”
Alyssa blushed and flinched at the sight of Leah.
A couple of them seemed to think it was sexy, but to the onlookers it just looked like a little kid showing off his skills.
“…Are you a real succubus?”
Elena asks Hyunseong if he can’t believe his own eyes even though he saw it with his own eyes.
At Hyunseong’s affirmation, she quietly looked at Leah and then hugged her.
And then Elena touches her soft cheek.
“How can there be such a cute creature?”
“I’m not cute! I’m sexy!”
“Oh, I see. That’s sexy! Then don’t you want to live at your house?”
“No, what’s wrong? Don’t steal other people’s disciples.”
“You’re the master? Then you can live in my house too! There are lots of rooms!”
-… I think this guy is really fascinated.
Leah’s fascination seemed, in some ways, more powerful than magic.
After the commotion passed, Elena came home and served tea.
She looked at Leah, who was sipping her tea, with a proud expression.
“What about mine?”
“No, even if I give it to you, you can’t drink it.”
“But there is such a thing as feeling.”
“… … ”
Elena served Hyunseong tea, although she had a somewhat uneasy expression on her face.
“So you came here to hear the research results?”
“… Research results?”
“Yes, I mean the bones. I gave you some bone powder.”
“Oh, that’s right.”
It was a topic I had completely forgotten about.
“So what did you find out?”
“There wasn’t really anything to be gleaned from the bone meal. There wasn’t really a comparison group for the skeleton road.”
“I had a feeling it might be, but it was as expected.”
Actually, I wasn’t really expecting anything.
Because even if I found out, it didn’t seem like it would solve the problem.
“Ugh.”
Elena looks upset, as if she was hurt by the answer that didn’t even show an inch of hesitation.
But, it was true so there was nothing I could do.
“I know it’s a bit much to call you a substitute, but I’ll tell you a few things I’ve learned from my research.”
“… Let’s take a look first.”
Although he himself wasn’t particularly interested, Seol-ah seemed very interested.
I was wondering if there might be some clues that could help me figure out something about the labyrinth.
So I’m trying to head to Elena’s lab.
“…hmm?”
“what?”
I could feel someone approaching from afar.
There were more than one or two sounds.
It kept growing until it filled the forest in an instant.
Elena looks at Hyunseong and the two succubi while thinking about the enemy’s identity.
“Did you meet any vagrants on your way here?”
“Oh, that’s what happened.”
“You didn’t catch it, did you?”
“I missed a few. … Oh, really?”
Hyunseong, who had answered up to that point, realized what the question meant and thought it couldn’t be true.
Even though homeless people only live for today, it was hard to imagine that they would do such crazy things.
Elena sighed softly at Hyunseong’s answer and opened her mouth.
“You still don’t know how much of apes those vagabonds are.”
Having lived on the third floor, he knew better than anyone what kind of people the homeless were.
As she opened the door and went out, she saw a fairly large man and several vagrants.
Seol-ah, who was looking at the sight, muttered sarcastically as if she was dumbfounded.
-Unlike those guys, he’s completely innocent.
“…? What are you talking about?”
-If he risks his life for a woman, what else could he be if not pure love?
“… I’ve lost all the innocent people.”
