Monster Heavenly King - Chapter 119



Only Noblemtl

119. Fire Spirit (3)

“oh?”

I didn’t expect it to go up like this even though it’s not even a territory boss.

It was a happy miscalculation.

In this state, wouldn’t it be possible to evolve on the 5th floor?

“Come to think of it…”

He thought back to the Ifrit he had met in the arena.

-Efreet? Have you met the fire spirit? Spirits are incredibly hard to meet.

“I saved you from being trapped in the arena.”

I said that my confident place was the 5th floor.

Finally, we got there.

They say that kindness is unforgettable, so I guess it’s okay to expect something pretty good.

-If it’s a gift from a spirit, it can’t be a bad thing, right?

“It’s nice to hear that.”

Of course, there is a condition to receiving it, which is that you have to find an Ifrit somewhere in the vast volcanic area.

It wasn’t even certain whether we would be able to meet in this vast place or not.

“Let’s start moving slowly.”

Hyunseong and his friends start looking for monsters.

Soon, we encountered monsters in the volcanic zone and entered into battle.

This time, I decided not to step forward and leave it up to my group.

-It doesn’t look easy.

Since most of the monsters were surrounded by heat or flames, they were quite difficult to deal with.

Besides, since the skin is as hard as a rock, it would be possible to kill up to two, but it would be difficult to kill more than that.

furthermore…

‘Han Ji-soo isn’t able to use her strength properly.’

While the melee units were unable to attack rashly due to the flames, the magicians acting as artillery were also unable to do their job.

There was no choice because there weren’t many water-type skills that were most effective against fire-type monsters.

However, I wasn’t good enough to show off the magic I had learned on the 5th floor.

But the good news was that Leah was active.

“Looking at it this way, it really is amazing.”

Hyunseong mutters while looking at Leah.

Her performance was unparalleled.

I was dealing with monsters like a fish in water.

To exaggerate a bit, you could probably handle one by yourself.

The reason why it is possible is because

‘It’s all thanks to the Nine-Eight Sacred Art.’

Extreme yin energy that can freeze everything.

That negative energy was instantly freezing the heat of the fifth floor and even the flames spewed out by the monsters.

If it had been a normal ice attack and not the Nine Sounds God skill, it wouldn’t have been this effective.

-Is it still too early to come to the 5th floor?

‘No, I guess there’s nothing I can do about it.’

The 4th floor had been there for a long time, so they had some know-how, but the only information about the 5th floor was that it was a volcanic area.

Since there is virtually no information about the monster, I don’t know how to defeat it.

It was bound to be more difficult to deal with.

‘Our kids were like this in the beginning every time they moved floors.’

Over time, you will eventually grow and adapt.

at that time,

“I felt like I felt a familiar vibe. It was you.”

A voice comes from behind.

As I turned my gaze, the figure of a burning man came into view.

-oh?

The identity was none other than the protagonist we just talked about, Ifrit.

While I was wondering how to find it, I never thought that it would come from that side.

Ifrit, who had been quietly watching Hyunseong, spoke.

“I never thought we’d meet so soon.”

As a spirit living for an eternity, Ifrit had an ambiguous sense of time, but even by that standard, his meeting with Hyeonseong seemed a bit too quick.

furthermore,

‘It seems like you’ve gotten considerably stronger.’

The energy I felt from Hyunseong was incomparable to when I met him at the arena.

On the other hand, Hyunseong’s skull, looking at Ifrit, was tilted at an angle.

“But… is there something strange about you?”

It seemed to be stronger than the energy I had felt from Ifrit before.

But, although it was hard to say specifically, my intuition told me that something was different than back then.

Ifrit let out a voice of interest at Hyunseong’s reaction.

“Wow, you feel the difference? That’s amazing.”

“difference?”

-That’s not the main body. It’s a clone.

“A clone?”

-The fire spirit can create its own clone wherever there is fire. You managed to distinguish it.

Even though it was a clone, it was difficult to distinguish it using normal methods because it could exert power similar to the original.

“Then where is the main body?”

“It’s on that mountain.”

Ifrit pointing in one direction.

The distance was so far that it was difficult to tell if it was even a mountain, as it appeared only as a faint dot.

“…You felt my energy there?”

-The spirit’s detection range is ridiculously wide. And the surrounding environment is suitable for a fire spirit, so it should be able to detect the entire area?

“Is that all?”

I couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.

Ifrit was quietly looking at Seol-ah.

“You are the sword of the beginning.”

“Do you know Seol-ah?”

“This is my first time seeing it, but I have heard of its existence.”

“okay?”

That was unexpected.

Seol-ah always boasted that she had traveled to every corner of the world, so I thought she must have met a spirit at least once.

-I told you. Spirits are incredibly hard to meet. And there aren’t many occasions where you have to go out of your way to meet them. So, I haven’t met all the spirits. Maybe Ian has?

“…If you say Ian, are you talking about the wizard who was a human warrior?”

“know?”

“We met before. I gave him my blessing.”

-It’s not him now, it’s her.

“…?”

“Anyway, I know that spirits are quite fraudulent beings. But why did the Awakened One capture them?”

“… … ”

If you had those specs, wouldn’t it have been harder for the Awakened to catch you?

Ifrit is unable to say anything due to the heavy fact bombardment.

“That was when I was weak.”

-What happened that could weaken the spirit?

According to Seol-ah, even spirits become weaker if they use too much power.

However, this is a volcanic area.

How could a spirit be weak in this place, which is practically the home ground of the fire spirit?

Ifrit, who had been silent for a while, finally opened his mouth.

“The seal that held the Flame Giant was about to break. To prevent it from breaking, I breathed in the breath of fire.”

-Oh, that guy’s seal? It got released?

“It hasn’t been released. We’ve put in place a temporary measure, but the seal is still unstable.”

-That’s a headache.

“What is a Flame Giant? Stop talking to yourselves and explain.”

-Well, it’s a being that was created before me, who was called the primordial sword.

It seemed like they were the first beings created by God, like spirits.

but,

-It’s strong, but… it’s a failure.

“…clinker?”

-They can’t control their power and are trying to destroy the world.

It was a failure because it gave too much power and was uncontrollable.

God, realizing that he shouldn’t give too much power to one entity, went on to create races rather than entities.

-The first race is the dragon.

The dragons, snow angels, and spirits that were born later joined forces to seal the primordial beings.

It seemed like a story from the mythical era.

Hyunseong, who had been quietly listening to the story, looked at Seol-ah.

“… Were you like that?”

-Ahem? How was it, seeing you again?

“any?”

-Look at it again a lot.

It was a wonder why this talkative guy hadn’t spoken until now.

“So, you’re saying there’s more than one of them?”

-yes.

“It’s fantastic.”

There are beings that can destroy the world sealed all over the world.

If such people existed in this world, wouldn’t the Blood Cultists be jumping for joy?

Because if you just click and release the seal, it will automatically destroy the world.

“That’s how I met the Awakened One, in a weakened state while trying to restore the seal.”

“The Awakened? Was there only one?”

“Yeah, there was one.”

Even though he has become weaker, if he can defeat Ifrit on his own, he is not an Awakened One who can conquer the 5th floor.

After hearing Ifrit’s story, I couldn’t help but say that he was just really unlucky.

“So I’m still recovering.”

“indeed.”

It still looks pretty strong.

If Ifrit were to fully recover, wouldn’t it be at a level that would surpass that of the 5th floor, rather than the area boss level?

– Certainly. It’s not like the flame spirit is on the 5th floor.

“But… who are they? It seems like there are some Awakened ones mixed in.”

“He’s my colleague.”

“Still unique.”

Not only does the being that belongs to the labyrinth conquer the labyrinth, but it also goes as far as killing monsters to grow together with the Awakened.

It was definitely a sight you wouldn’t see anywhere else.

“Anyway, since you came here from over there, did you come to bring me a gift?”

When we parted ways on the first floor, Ifrit said that he would never forget kindness.

Because that’s when I asked to get to the 5th floor.

I thought maybe he remembered that and came out to greet me like this.

“I’m sorry, but I don’t think that’s possible yet.”

I guess that wasn’t it.

“I thought it would take a little longer for you to get here. By then you would have recovered more strength, so I could return the favor.”

“In short, it means that your strength has not fully recovered yet.”

“Yes. For the time being, you should continue to focus on recovering your strength.”

“How long does it take?”

I’m not going to go straight to the next floor anyway.

You can find it by moderately clearing the 5th floor.

That’s what I was thinking.

but,

“I think it will only take about 100 years.”

“……yes?”

A question escaped my teeth without me realizing it.

Because the unit was on a different level than what he thought.

“Wasn’t it because it was in a volcanic area that recovery was quick?”

“Yes. That’s why it’s 100 years.”

-If it weren’t for the volcanic area, the period would have been three times longer.

“I thought it would be about a month when you said it would be for the time being.”

-No matter what, spirits have existed since the beginning. Their concept of time is distorted.

“No matter what, it’s like that…”

100 years is a while.

I was dumbfounded by the completely different concept of time.

“I guess I’ll have to give up the reward.”

-There’s no need to give up. You can come back in 100 years, right?

“… I guess so.”

After all, he is now an undead.

If nothing happens, I’ll still be alive in 100 years.

Even if he survives until then, it is uncertain whether he will remember.

“If you bring me a volcanic flower, I can recover right away.”

“Volcano flower?”

-It’s literally a flower that blooms on a volcano. It’s a thing that holds a lot of fire energy.

Could it be the plant version of the sun-infused carp, the sun-infused carp?

I needed to get a reward, but the thought crossed my mind that I needed to do one more quest to get it.

Hyunseong, who had been thinking for a moment, scratched his skull and gritted his teeth.

“… I can’t help it.”

Since I’m going to be conquering the 5th floor for the time being anyway, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to decide on a destination and go there rather than just wandering around aimlessly.

However, even though it was a quest to receive a reward, free service was not allowed.

“And give me a reward for the volcano flower.”

“i get it.”

After hearing Ifrit’s answer, Hyunseong decided to aim for the volcanic flower.
