Monster Heavenly King - Chapter 124



Only Noblemtl

124. Bounty (3)

Suddenly, I remembered that the most powerful awakener in America used guns.

“It’s not that guy, is it?”

-There must be more than one Awakened Person who uses guns, right? If it’s him, wouldn’t he be on the upper floor?

“Well, that’s good… but can you tell how far away it is?”

-No, it seems like it’s quite far away since I can’t even detect it.

“It’s annoying.”

Sniping from such a long distance that it’s hard to see with the naked eye.

Moreover, since we didn’t know the exact location, it was difficult to launch an attack.

-What are you going to do?

“The best way is to go down and find another entrance and come back….”

Since the location changes randomly, you should be able to avoid being sniped unless you have really bad luck.

But that didn’t seem easy either.

‘There’s no way I could miss that great opportunity.’

Because the moment you enter through the portal is the most vulnerable moment.

furthermore…

Damn!

The distorted door cracked like glass and soon broke into pieces and scattered.

A portal that disappears at incredible timing.

-Maybe this was intentional.

Although it is an unfavorable situation, I cannot just sit there and let it go like this.

As Hyunseong was pondering how to overcome this situation, a question crossed his mind.

“Why don’t you shoot more?”

Although they claim to be hiding behind a rock, the bullets they shoot are no ordinary force.

I think I could easily penetrate a rock of this size.

Did you give up because you couldn’t even get one step in?

The moment I was about to step out to check.

“…!”

Hyunseong quickly hid himself again.

The bullet fired just as he was about to emerge from the rock, piercing part of the rock.

After checking it out, I couldn’t help but have more doubts.

Why don’t you shoot when you’re behind a rock?

While I was thinking for a moment, I heard Seol-ah’s voice.

-Isn’t it because of the bounty?

It was certainly a plausible reason.

The condition of the bounty offered by the Cheonmasingyo is to bring him back.

There was no point in killing him.

Now that I think about it, I think I understand why he doesn’t shoot when he’s behind the rock.

If you accidentally pierce the skull with a rock, the bounty will be gone.

“But, you’ve already come out to greet me like this, so the rumor is spreading quickly.”

Hyunseong let out a soft sigh.

I figured the bounty hunters would come for me someday, but I never thought it would be today.

However, Hyunseong had just figured out a few things from that attack.

‘The first thing is that the guy is only after me.’

There was no sign of him being wary of his group.

And the second one is-

‘It doesn’t seem as far away as I thought.’

The moment he emerged from the rock, bullets flew.

Even though it’s an Awakener’s bullet, it won’t teleport.

Although it was outside of Seol-ah’s detection range, it was evidence that it wasn’t that far away.

Hyunseong assessed the situation calmly and clenched his teeth.

“Is it worth a try?”

-Are you out of your mind?

“No, listen.”

It’s not that far away and you can’t kill him for the bounty.

Since we have a rough idea of ​​where it is and the direction it is going, it shouldn’t be too difficult to catch it as long as we approach it faster than it runs away.

Seol-ah was dumbfounded after hearing the explanation up to that point.

-You won’t die, but who knows, one of your bones might break? No, would it be a good thing if one is broken?

“Even if I try to run away from here, it’ll be the same situation if that guy chases me.”

-… That’s true.

If that happened, we would have to be on alert for sniping 24 hours a day.

Seol-ah had no choice but to agree that it was an unavoidable situation.

If we stand off like this without doing anything, the guy will either move to the other side, or if he calls his comrades, the two sides will be captured.

‘furthermore…’

Judging from the fact that he shot right after he got out from behind the rock, that person must be quite impatient.

Hyunseong seemed to think for a moment, then picked up a rock that had fallen nearby.

And then, as he threw the rock out, it flew off and shattered before even hitting the ground.

and.

“now!”

As if the broken stone in the air had become a signal flare, Hyunseong jumped out from behind the rock and stepped on Jin-gak.

Break!

Hyunseong’s body is shot out like a shell by breaking the ground and the recoil.

The surrounding scenery changed in an instant.

The rock that I was on already looked like a dot.

and,

-Coming!

Another bullet flew towards him as he ran.

It took about two seconds for the first shot to break the rock and the second bullet to be fired.

The distance had decreased considerably, but there was still no sign of them.

The heel bone containing the internal energy kicked the ground once again.

Boom!

This time, the new model moves forward with a sound like a shell being fired.

The bullet missed its target due to the sudden acceleration and passed over the top of the skull.

This time, Hyunseong started moving around in a flashy manner without touching the ground right away.

I thought it was going right, but it turned left, and I thought it was going left, but it went straight.

Amazing speed despite moving forward with confusion about direction.

and,

-Found it!

Finally, the guy was caught in Seol-ah’s sensing magic.

He let out a voice that seemed bewildered by the sniper’s location, which was ridiculously far away.

“You fired a quick shot from this distance?”

Usually in fantasy worlds, modern civilization is not mainstream, but it seems like there is no such rule here.

The closer we got, the more difficult it was to dodge the bullets.

and,

Crunch!

“Ugh?!”

A bullet passed by, grazing the bone.

It wasn’t just a scratch, a part of the humerus had been cut off.

Even though I was protected by my internal energy, it was like this.

If it had been a direct hit, it wouldn’t have ended with just a hole in the bone.

“You’re really screwed if you get caught.”

I’ve often met kids who play ‘You Come’, but I never thought there would be one who does it from this far away.

Another bullet flying towards him.

Hyunseong immediately pulled out Seol-ah.

and,

Kak!

Something hit Seol-ah’s sword and sparks flew.

It was to change the trajectory of the bullet rushing towards him.

Taang!

The sound of a gunshot that can only be heard after a deflected bullet has passed by.

Hyunseong literally shot a bullet faster than the speed of sound.

-You are a real monster.

The only help he could offer now was to tell them the sniper’s location.

Not only did he react to the attack faster than sound, but he also responded, which was all a testament to Hyunseong’s ability.

“Actually, I don’t understand it either.”

I just tried it because I was confident that it would work.

When asked to explain how I did it, I wasn’t confident.

The senses that had long since transcended human limitations had reached a realm that even I could not explain.

-I guess they were confused too?

The continuous shooting suddenly stopped.

Even though there are those who can dodge their own bullets that travel faster than the speed of sound, I guess they never thought there would be those who could deflect them.

I can’t miss this great opportunity.

As Hyunseong began to kick the ground and approach, bullets began to fly again.

Taang!

bang!

The gap between attacks and sounds was getting smaller.

It was proof that they had gotten that close, but as they got closer, his resistance also became more and more intense.

“But since he didn’t run away, he must have some kind of gangster?”

I thought they would take me somewhere else along the way.

Of course, since you’re already within Seol-ah’s detection range, running away would be useless.

-You might know that.

“I see.”

He must have had some intuition that the enemy was coming straight at him.

Even if he left his seat, he would be caught up even faster than before.

– Since you’re an awakened person who’s reached the 5th floor, you’d probably make that kind of judgment.

“but.”

The moment I muttered like that, I felt a chill run down my body.

Let’s swing our swords without delay,

Kwakwakwakwang!!

The space was torn apart along the trajectory with a loud noise.

Part of the volcano was torn apart, lava flowed out, and the bullets that had been heading towards him disappeared.

“… … Hey, no way.”

I thought there would be something since I didn’t run away.

Before that thought could even finish, a sound rang out again.

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo!!

Bullets flying towards him, with a sound he had never heard before, cutting through space.

“This kid?”

When I saw that sight, I couldn’t help but curse.

I never even imagined a situation like this.

In some ways, it could be said to be praise for the enemy.

‘If I think about it calmly, I should have taken this situation into account.’

There’s no rule that says snipers have to use only sniper rifles.

Since there are various types of guns, it is more efficient for the Awakened to change guns depending on the situation.

Besides, the gun doesn’t require that much skill, so you can change it without any burden.

‘It’s impossible to throw them all away.’

Even if it is weaker than a sniper, it is difficult to fire dozens of rounds at the same time.

I had a gut feeling that this was the moment to take a bold step, even if it meant going all out.

“Purung-ah!”

With Hyunseong’s scream, Purungi spread out and transformed into his own body.

In an instant, all the magical power drained out and my entire body became stronger.

As I rolled my feet, a heaviness completely different from before hit the ground.

Kkwudduk!!

The land splits like a spider’s web.

Lava appeared, gushing out from beneath the cracked ground.

And then, I stepped on the step and used the recoil to move forward.

And, one beat slower

Kwaaaaang!!

A whirlwind of lava rushed in, accompanied by a sound that suggested a volcano had erupted.

and,

“There it is!”

-Found it!

Hyunseong and Seol-ah’s voices overlapped.

Although it still looked like a small dot, he could tell right away that it was the guy who had been sniping him so far.

The guy kept shooting as if he hadn’t given up yet.

‘indeed.’

I used to wonder how a gun could be so powerful, but after watching him shoot it, I kind of understood.

It wasn’t a gun, it was firing reinforced bullets.

A special bullet with the fantasy of magical power was producing power that ignored the laws of physics.

‘Even though it’s called a magic bullet…’

I thought that a rate of fire of over 10 rounds per second was a bit too much.

If you get hit by this, it won’t be easy for any monster to leave a trace.

Even as he thought that, Hyunseong lifted Seol-ah up.

Kwakwagagagang!

Just like before, with a loud noise, the space swallowed up the bullets that were raining down on him.

The space warped and the bullets disappeared, but the ripples did not stop.

‘I have to deal with the annoying things first.’

Because what he was aiming for was a machine gun that fired bullets.

“…!?”

The Awakened one, who had been firing his gun at him, swallowed a breath in embarrassment and rolled to the side.

Kkwaduk!

The machine gun that had been in the spot where the Awakened had been until just now was distorted to the point where it was difficult to recognize its original form.

If he had held onto the machine gun and fired until the end, he would have met the same end.

The masked Awakened One quietly looked at Hyeonseong.

“Okay, it’s too close to use the sniper rifle, and the machine gun is destroyed, so what do we do?”

As Hyunseong, who had seized the opportunity, asked with his teeth chattering, the Awakened One took out a pistol from inside his robe.

It seemed like he had no intention of giving up yet.

At that spirited look, dark red eyes sparkled from inside Hyunseong’s skull.

“Okay, let’s give it a try, Gunslinger.”
