Monster Heavenly King - Chapter 118



Only Noblemtl

118. Fire Spirit (2)

Rashi ate [Ogre’s Essence] and went to a lucky breakfast.

I was wondering if I should help Brin as he evolved, but it didn’t seem necessary.

How much time has passed like that?

Thud.

The muscles that looked like they would burst from the beginning swelled up even more.

Then, a sound like bones being twisted echoed from inside Rashi’s body.

Hyunseong gnashes his teeth as he watches his disciple evolve.

“I envy you.”

-what?

“It’s possible to evolve by eating essence.”

-I told you last time that you didn’t evolve by eating essence.

“Anyway, the fact remains that eating essence will bring you closer to evolution.”

-yes.

Not only can you not eat it, but thanks to the system, you can only evolve according to your level.

If evolution was achieved by eating essence, wouldn’t Hyunseong have become a large guild essence thief by now?

Wood crack!

Han Ji-soo’s face turned pale at the increasingly loud noise.

“Excuse me, is that okay?”

A sound that feels like your whole body is twisting.

It must have been embarrassing for her to hear a sound that made her want to cover her ears.

“That’s normal.”

It was an inevitable phenomenon as the body was changing rapidly.

Even though she had heard that it was normal, she looked at Rashi with worried eyes.

So, time passes

“Profit.”

Rashi opens his eyes with a sound coming from his mouth.

Han Ji-soo met his eyes and clasped her hands together, sparkling.

“Wow!”

It still had the characteristic orc skin color and fangs protruding from its mouth, but other than that, it could almost be considered human.

That’s pretty handsome too.

However, I should say that he is handsome in a manly way rather than in a cute way like Brin.

If you upload a picture of your face to a health community, you’ll probably get hate comments like, “Don’t exercise,” “Don’t take supplements,” and “You’re a piece of shit.”

‘As expected, if you learn martial arts and evolve, you will become similar to a human.’

-But why do they all become handsome? It doesn’t matter if they’re ordinary.

‘It’s advantageous to have a well-built skeleton when learning martial arts, right?’

And, since the skeleton was well-built, there was a high probability that they were handsome or beautiful.

-This world is so unfair that if you’re ugly, you can’t even learn martial arts properly.

‘No, it’s just a probability.’

Not everyone was like that.

Anyway, Rashi opens his eyes and examines his body.

Since he had a good body to begin with, his body itself didn’t seem to have changed that much.

Your muscles and bones may have become a bit stronger.

‘and…’

What has changed the most is my internal energy.

The explosive increase in internal energy would be of great help in future fights.

but,

“Chwiik, my face…”

Like Brin, he didn’t seem to like his own face.

There is nothing more ugly than this by the aesthetic standards of the Orcs.

Brin came up to Rashi, who was looking gloomy, and patted his shoulder to comfort him.

And the sister looking at it.

“Well, this isn’t my taste, but it looks okay when I look at it this way…?”

“Then who is the ball and who is the water?”

“Of course, Mr. Rashi…”

“No, rather, with a twisted charm…”

What on earth are you imagining as someone else’s disciple?

In that way, Rashi’s evolution will also be completed safely.

It’s finally time to go to the 5th floor.

Seoian came out to greet them as they departed.

“Don’t forget to bring the items I mentioned.”

“It’s not urgent, is it?”

“It’s not urgent, but it wouldn’t hurt to do it quickly.”

“I’ll come back in due course.”

Since the 5th floor is a place where I can’t stay like this forever, I had to come back periodically anyway.

Hyunseong and his party set off, seeing her off.

Since they all had good mobility, it was quick for them to find the portal and get to the front.

And let’s enter the portal.

Kugugugugug…

The vibration that welcomes them as soon as they arrive.

When I looked around, there was a red glow mixed with gray.

The ground was cracked here and there, and flowing through it was lava that seemed like it would melt everything if it touched it.

This was the 5th floor, the volcanic zone.

‘What a crazy heat.’

From the 5th floor onwards, there were enemies other than monsters.

An environment that is not suitable for people to live in, let alone stay in for long periods of time.

The labyrinth environment itself could be considered a new enemy.

“Wow, it’s hot…”

“I feel like I can’t breathe already…”

The sisters who had just been excited about going to the 5th floor couldn’t help but frown at the excitement.

The air entering my lungs already felt like its temperature had risen.

He was nothing but bones, but if he had skin, wouldn’t he have been burning with heat?

-I really can’t help it!

Seol-ah, who moves her magic power by making her sword clang like that.

Then, the hot heat got even better.

The magic that Seol-ah cast on her group was enough to block some of the heat, if not all of it.

“Wow.”

“So that’s why you said there’s no need to prepare anything.”

“I think this has better performance than the cooler?”

-Huh, my magic pales in comparison to those mass-produced supplies. And my magic doesn’t require any power or batteries?

“Wow, the performance is crazy…”

Overwhelming convenience.

This is truly the sword that every Awakened person would want to have.

Seol-ah shook her sword as if she felt good looking at her sister’s gaze.

-So you have nothing to say?

Seol-ah asks herself in a tone of secret anticipation.

Hyunseong chuckled and clicked his teeth.

“Yeah, yeah, if Seol-ah hadn’t been here, I would have been in big trouble. I would have lost half my life.”

-Ahem.

If someone else had heard it, they might have questioned whether it was a compliment, but Seol-ah took it as a compliment.

I don’t know about anything else, but does just praising someone make your thinking simpler?

at that time,

Kugugung!!

The ground began to ripple.

At first it was so faint that it was hard to detect, but soon it became so bad that it was difficult to stand.

I thought it was an earthquake because I saw the ground splitting, but it wasn’t.

-It’s a monster!

“Huh? A monster? I can’t see it?!”

Han Ji-soo looks around intently at Seol-ah’s words.

However, there was only volcanic ash and lava nearby, and not even a shadow of a monster was visible.

At that moment, Hyunseong picked up Seol-ah and his teeth chattered.

“It’s underground.”

I thought it was too strange to be an earthquake.

It was a vibration created by the monster digging through the ground.

At the same time, the ground shaking became more and more intense,

Gurrrrung! Boom!

A monster that appears as if it were a shark jumping out of the water to snatch its prey.

However, its size seemed closer to a whale than a shark.

That moment when you wonder why you came up to the surface when you don’t even have arms or legs.

“Keeeeeek!!”

A guy who takes out his limbs that were hidden inside his body with a roar.

Hyunseong’s teeth chattered at the bizarre sight.

“Wow, what is that?”

A novel and unprecedented monster appearance.

-It’s a volcano lizard.

‘… Is that a lizard?’

-This guy only appears in volcanic areas. He swims through the ground or lava, and when he does, he puts his arms and legs away and then takes them out.

‘There are some weird guys who can store their arms and legs.’

-Why are there so many strange creatures in the world you live in?

‘Strange creature?’

-An animal with the same number of cervical vertebrae as humans, but a neck length of over 2m. An animal with a beak, stinger, and webbed feet that lives in the water and lays eggs.

‘… … ‘

Besides giraffes and platypuses, there are often animals that, if you look closely, make you wonder what kind of creatures they really are.

There are such things, so it wouldn’t be strange for there to be lizards that can store their limbs.

-Anyway, even in the world I lived in, it was considered a uniquely bizarre creature. But, the fact that it’s here…

Perhaps this volcanic area was also the world where Seol-ah existed.

It was hard to believe that such strange monsters could exist in other worlds.

‘There was also a volcanic area in the forbidden area?’

-Of course it was. I think this might be the place.

‘At this point, is the labyrinth itself something that was created by splitting up the world you were in?’

-Maybe so?

What kind of crazy guy created the labyrinth and came up with the idea to save the world?

There were many things I was curious about, but for now, I decided to focus on the monster in front of me.

“Okay, let’s see how strong the 5th floor guy is.”

Hyunseong swung Seol-ah while muttering like that.

However, the sword that Hyunseong swung was easily blocked by the guy’s skin.

Kak!

It feels like you’re hitting metal.

What that meant was that the guy’s skin was comparable to metal rather than stone.

-Since it swims around in lava, its skin is a bit tough.

“Oh my, there is a limit to how rough a welcoming greeting can be.”

Why don’t you start with the easy ones first?

With that thought in mind, I raised my internal energy.

WHHH! WHHH!

As I unfolded my sword, the wind surrounding it began to grow stronger.

“Well then, let’s see if this can hold up!”

A single vortex shoots out from Seol-ah with a strong stabbing sound.

It spun around fiercely as if it was going to crush everything, and extended itself towards the monster.

Tidding! Titi ting!

Kagagak! Kagagakak!!

The storm, filled with black energy, collided with the monster’s skin, sending sparks flying.

A sight that looked like metal being cut with a chainsaw.

I wondered how long it would last, but soon

Cock-a-ga-ga-ga-gak!!

Kkwudduk!!

“Keeeeeek!!”

Even the metal-like monster’s skin eventually couldn’t withstand Hyunseong’s attacks and was torn apart.

A guy who screams when his arm, which was an invincible shield and sometimes used to crush enemies, breaks.

The lava lizard looked at him with a menacing gaze, then its neck swelled up greatly.

Chomp!

A giant mouth opens and lava pours out.

The lava coming to swallow me up

“Ugh!”

Hyunseong who sees through it as it is.

A hole was created in one part of the lava, as if a dot had been put on a piece of paper.

Hyunseong kicked the ground, escaped through the hole, and landed on top of the lava lizard’s head.

“Keeeeeek!”

A guy who lets out a roar that’s on a whole other level than before when he gets attached to you.

The pronunciation was so good that my ears were ringing.

No, it would have been better if my ears had been blocked so I could hear a little less, but my open skull accepted the sound without any filtering.

-It would be more accurate to say that my bones are ringing rather than my ears being blocked.

‘Thank you for the kind explanation.’

Hyunseong lifting Seol-ah.

And just like thatㅡ

Chook!!

I drew the lava lizard’s food.

The steel-like skin was cut like tofu without any resistance, and blood spurted out.

Then, the roar suddenly stops.

Soon the huge mass slowly collapsed, its head hitting the lava.

Kuung!!

“But, the 5th floor is definitely different.”

Hyunseong quietly looked at the body of the fallen man.

Perhaps because of the harsh environment, even the mobs were quite powerful.

If the trash mobs are this strong, how strong are the area bosses?

While I was thinking like that, the body of the guy who fell down disappeared.

Tiring.

[Level up.]

It was a long time since I heard a familiar voice.
