Monster Heavenly King - Chapter 116

116. Join (2)

When you get a new weapon, isn’t it the psychology of a martial artist, or rather a man, to want to test it out and see how strong he has become?

Besides, Sakong-hyeon only teaches orcs and has no suitable opponents, so he would want to check it out even more.

Hyunseong and Sagonghyeon stand facing each other at a distance.

“Then I will go.”

The first to move was Sa Gong-hyeon.

As he kicked the ground, the wind blew and he quickly closed the distance.

Shhh!

A sharp sound that cuts through the air.

Three lines rushed toward Hyunseong.

but,

Kaang!

Hyunseong drew three lines without even pulling out Seol-ah.

“…!?”

Sa-gong-hyeon swallows his breath.

Of course I expected that he would use a sword and made some predictions, but those predictions were quickly proven to be useless.

Before he could even react to the changed situation, Hyunseong’s knees shot up toward him.

Chin! Kwung!

“Ugh?!”

Even though I blocked it, I couldn’t help but frown at the pain I felt.

It was as if I had stopped a high-speed, spinning iron ball.

A tingling sensation that spreads through the palms of the hands and throughout the body.

Sakong-hyeon opened his mouth after taking some time to prepare for the repairs.

“You don’t use a sword?”

“Okay. Let me draw my sword.”

“… … ”

It was only after hearing that that I could understand.

That this sparring is a test.

‘then…’

Rather than blindly spreading out one’s talents to show off one’s accomplishments, one should seize the opportunity.

“Haaap!”

Sakonghyun dug into the gap between Hyeonseong and the sound of shouting.

The moment Hyunseong was about to attack, Sagonghyeon kicked the ground again.

As he tried to escape the gap in an instant, the sword energy that followed tried to cut down Hyunseong.

An attack that resembles the tail of a black wolf being swung.

Kaang!

As Hyunseong repelled the attack, Sagonghyun’s eyes lit up.

Whether your opponent just dodged that attack or swung to block it.

The gap that formed in that very, very short time.

Because it was a golden opportunity.

‘Did you choose to throw it away?’

Sakonghyun stepped on the ground.

Although he could have gone further due to the inertia of having previously hit the ground, he forcibly stepped on the ground to increase the recoil force, bent his knees, and used that recoil force as a driving force to jump.

Hyunseong thought as he watched Sa-gong-hyeon approaching him in an instant.

‘This is…’

It seemed too dangerous to just block.

Even if you block it, the bones won’t be able to withstand it.

I could have just pulled out Seol-ah and blocked her, but that would have given me unnecessary pride.

‘Ugh!’

Hyunseong decided to dig deeper into Sagonghyeon’s gap with a strong will.

A sound of air bursting out from behind could be heard, caused by a single stab.

However, Hyunseong had already approached to a distance where he could touch her without even extending his hand.

I tried to hit the side as is,

Bam!

With the sound of something being struck on the ground, Sa-gong-hyeon slid away.

Sa-gong-hyeon, who spins around his sword with his sword stuck in the ground.

And then, the moment the tip of the sword emerged from the ground, it was swung once more.

The sword rushed forward with fierce momentum as if it would not miss this time.

Hyunseong saw that sight

Kaang!

He pulled out Seol-ah as if he had no choice.

Sa Gong-Hyeon finally smiled when he saw that his sword was blocked by Seol-Ah.

“Did you pass?”

“Yes. That’s a great accomplishment.”

Although he was pretending to be relaxed, Hyunseong was actually quite surprised.

Because my skills have improved more than I expected.

Thanks to the fact that I had been consistently practicing martial arts since long ago, the blocked areas were cleared, so it seemed like all the experience would come pouring in all at once.

“Thank you. I’m glad that you’ve become stronger, too.”

It had only been a few months since Hyunseong left the Orc Village.

In fact, I thought I would be able to deal with him to some extent since I had become stronger, but the gap had widened further than before.

He was truly developing skills worthy of the name Cheonma.

“But why are you here?”

He thought that Hyunseong would not return for at least a year.

Conquering a labyrinth is no child’s play.

Because it wasn’t that easy to get up there.

“I came here because I needed something. By the way, has anything been strange here lately?”

Hyunseong asks just in case.

I thought that maybe there were people chasing me, so maybe I was in danger here too.

Sakonghyun seemed to be thinking quietly and then opened his mouth.

“Not yet. However…”

Sa Gong-hyeon frowns as if something is bothering him.

At Hyunseong’s urging, his mouth finally opened.

“The orcs who went out hunting encountered the Awakened several times. We tried to avoid combat as much as possible, but there were times when we had no choice but to fight…”

“indeed.”

I think I have a rough idea of ​​what Sa-gong-hyeon is worried about.

The battle with the Awakened spread information about the Orcs throughout the community.

“The information hasn’t spread that far yet, but if it continues, I think it could cause some trouble.”

For example, there may be an Awakened person who goes around looking for orcs who have mastered martial arts to fight directly.

There may be someone following you to the village to wipe out the orcs.

And the worst is…

‘Someone must know the orc’s martial arts.’

Although he had mastered the Black Wolf Sword Technique, it would be difficult to recognize him because his ties were different, but he could be recognized by a member of the Cheonma Sect.

There was a high probability that he would send someone else just like he sent the Black Wolf, knowing of his existence.

If that happens, it’s only a matter of time before this place gets exposed.

-In the meantime, that boss even broke the barrier. He’s no help.

‘This kid…?’

You’ve been pushing me hard and now you’re backing out.

It was exactly as expected.

Anyway, it was still a headache.

It is easier to solve problems like this before they occur than to solve them after they occur.

Hyunseong thought about it for a while, then made a decision and contacted someone.

And then, the reply came back with a bang.

[okay]

“good.”

It was a message from Seoian.

When I asked her if I could go to a castle that orcs couldn’t go to, she said it was okay.

Seol-ah, who had been quietly watching the scene, rang the sword bell.

-Something…

“why?”

-Because I feel like a child who asks his mother for permission to bring his friends.

“… … ”

Since the castle that cannot be visited belongs to Seo-Ian, it is a natural procedure to ask for her permission.

But, from the viewer’s perspective, even if it looked that way, there was nothing to say.

If I had seen it myself, I would have thought the same thing.

Anyway, that’s how the migration of the orc village began.

-But would the orcs be able to survive on the 4th floor?

‘Isn’t that a problem?’

At a glance, it seemed that the orcs were capable of fighting the monsters on the third floor thanks to their martial arts training.

At that level, as long as you don’t encounter the area boss on the 4th floor, there shouldn’t be a problem.

If you base yourself on the 4th floor and only go to the 3rd floor to get food, there doesn’t seem to be any particular problem.

‘But when you actually go there, unexpected problems may arise…’

If they remained here, the orcs’ fate was obvious.

Shouldn’t monsters join forces at times like these?

“Oh, is it immigration?”

Raman was not very pleased with it, but he had no choice but to accept it.

Anyway, I thought it was dangerous if things continued like this.

When the chieftain Raman nodded, everything went smoothly from there.

The remaining orcs decided to follow Sagonghyeon and the chieftain without any doubts.

Hyunseong looked at the orcs quietly and thought.

‘But, … … isn’t that a bit much?’

-Yeah, I guess it’s probably around two hundred.

I remembered that he had said he would take her to Seoian, but had not said how much he would take.

Hyunseong, who had been thinking quietly, nodded as if he had no choice.

‘I don’t know.’

If you say anything later, can’t you just blame Seol-ah?

At worst, it will end with Seol-ah being sealed.

-No, don’t think about selling me naturally.

‘You were just trying to pull out, too.’

-That was just an expression…

Looking at the way they tried to pass the responsibility to each other, it seemed like they were a well-matched master and sword.

* * *

“Haam.”

A man yawning profusely.

The part-time worker next to him, Kim Ha-eun, opened her mouth.

“There aren’t many customers.”

“Should I close up shop then?”

“That won’t do! If you close down your business, where am I supposed to work? These days, there aren’t many places that accept minors as part-time workers.”

“… No, do I have to keep doing business just to pay my part-timer’s salary?”

“You have a lot of money anyway.”

“… … ”

The boss looked dumbfounded at her impudence.

“Then can you close up shop when you become an adult?”

“That won’t work either. It’s so hard to find a sweet part-time job like this.”

“Isn’t that something you shouldn’t say in front of the boss?”

“But you still work hard.”

“Hey, kids these days don’t know how to be humble. It wasn’t like that when I was there. When I was there, I would die from the adults talking.”

I thought the story of the president’s time at Leeds would continue like that, but the store door opened with a rough sound.

Then, Kim Ha-eun, who had been listening halfway, showed a bright smile and ran toward the door.

“Welcome!”

“I came to see the boss.”

“huh?”

The president lifts his face, which had been hunched over, at the sound of a voice searching for him.

He frowned after checking who the guest was.

“Wow, you haven’t aged at all. Do you take care of yourself or something?”

“Yeah, I manage it. So, why are you here?”

“What, you don’t seem happy to see your colleague after a long time?”

“I made a bet with the other kids on how long you’d be stuck in the maze.”

“It’s too much to be stuck like this. … Did you get it?”

“If that was the case, I would have already called the kids. Why didn’t you wait at least a year before coming out?”

At the boss’s words, the customer, Elena, shrugged her shoulders.

“No, I was planning to stay longer, but something came up.”

“Day?”

The president tilted his head and showed interest.

If it’s something that moves her, it won’t be ordinary.

“Mister, do you know the Blood Demon?”

“Blood horse?”

“Your skin turns red like blood and stuff.”

“… So, what is it?”

“I see you know something.”

Elena smiled at the boss’s reaction.

The president came to see her first because he knew she had been active as an Awakener even after going into seclusion, but it seemed like it was Bingo.

Elena talks about her recent encounter with a homeless person.

The president’s expression became more serious as he listened to her.

“So, that’s a skill? A homeless person was using it?”

“Yes, that’s what my acquaintance found out.”

“Who is that acquaintance?”

“I don’t know if I should tell you since it’s personal information, but he’s a trustworthy person.”

“What’s that?”

“Anyway. What the hell are those guys?”

The president is lost in thought.

He then looked at Kim Ha-eun with a deep sigh.

“I need to go to the labyrinth.”

“Huh?! Then what about the store?”

“Let’s rest for a while.”

“Until when?”

“I don’t know, it might be a bit long.”

“Then how am I supposed to live! Open the store and go!”

“… … ”

What kind of reversal of fortune is this, where the decision to open a store is made by a part-timer and not the owner?

“Then you take care of it for a while.”

“As the amount of work increases, your hourly wage should also increase.”

“… … You were aiming for this from the beginning?”

“lol.”

She smiles and scratches her head awkwardly.

The president sighed as if he had no choice and opened his mouth.

“1.2”

“Well, there’s a lot to do, so you should do at least 2.0.”

“It’s not that different from what I usually do. 1.5”

“I have to deal with the truth too. Double.”

“There are no customers, so how many people are coming? 1.7”

“I’m not an awakened person like you, sir. I’m just a weak ordinary person. Besides, if I do it alone, I won’t have time to study. Twice.”

“… The figure doesn’t go down?”

“Suho oppa told me to negotiate with the CEO like this.”

“That kid…”

The boss frowned at his disciple who was no longer here.

Elena, who had been watching the negotiations from the side, opened her mouth.

“Don’t be petty when you have a magic stone mine.”

“Okay, I understand. Double it. But if you don’t do your job properly, I’ll take it off.”

At those words, Kim Ha-eun said with a lively smile.

“Okay! Thank you!”
