Monster Heavenly King - Chapter 131



Only Noblemtl

131. Clue (3)

Boom! Boom! Bam!

A loud noise echoed off the cave walls.

If someone were to listen, they would think that there was an incredibly fierce battle going on, but the fight was more one-sided than they thought.

“This kid is cooking like a loach…!”

Kwaaaaang!

Phew!

Kuung!

Kak!

A blood demon reaching out to catch an enemy.

However, Hyunseong not only easily dodged the hand, but also dug inside the guy and attacked him.

First, strike the outside, then strike the inside with your inner strength.

And then, escaping from the guy’s embrace, he attacks through Seol-ah.

‘I want to cut it down in one go with the sword, but…’

There wasn’t much time for that.

The moment you gather your energy to create the sword, you will be caught in the guy’s hand and your bones will be crushed.

In the end, the correct strategy was to steadily accumulate small amounts of damage, even if it wasn’t that big.

“Ugh!”

In that moment, the legs of the guy who had been swinging his fists wildly began to wobble.

Hyunseong sighs rather than saying “finally” after seeing that sight.

“But I’m an Awakened person who has cleared the 5th floor, so isn’t it a bit too much to deal with a vagabond who has learned [Blood Demonization]?”

– [Blood Demonization] is proof that it’s such a bothersome skill. Besides, clearing the 5th floor is done with your skills rather than your specs.

“That’s true.”

If there were other awakened people with the same conditions as me, I would be struggling even on the 4th floor, let alone the 5th floor.

Seol-ah didn’t say anything, but she was impressed by his skills.

‘That’s amazing.’

Covering up for lack of qualifications with skills was like tightrope walking.

A gamble where if you fail even once, you could die.

However, Hyunseong was able to successfully perform tightrope walking with skills that were almost miraculous every time.

If it happens once or twice, you could say it’s luck, but if it happens dozens of times, you can only say it’s skill.

“Why… why doesn’t it fit!”

A blood demon swinging his fists vigorously.

It was a shame that he had such a good body but could only use it like that.

“Ugh… Ugh…”

The moment I was about to finish and dig up information, the Blood Demon’s eyes flashed as if he remembered something.

And then there’s the guy who picks up the iron bars that were lying around.

Boom!

The moment it was thrown, a shockwave occurred and the iron bars flew away, but there was no need to dodge them.

Since I wasn’t used to handling power myself, I didn’t even have to try to dodge it, because it flew far away.

bang!

Woof!

It hit a wall and part of the cave collapsed.

The guy started throwing the iron bars as far as he could, thinking he’d throw them until they hit.

Boom! Bang!

The increasingly thick smoke began to obscure the view.

Could it be that he was trying to block my view?

The moment I thought that, I felt the guy start to move.

-Coming.

Trying to prepare for an attack.

Boom! Kwung!!

Woof woof!!

The Blood Demon’s presence was directed somewhere other than himself.

The guy who broke through the wall on the side.

“Did he run away?”

The moment I thought that.

“Kuaaaak?!”

“S, save me…!”

The Awakened ones’ urgent voices could be heard from beyond the hole the guy had made.

“That kid, really?!”

He absorbed one Awakened Person and transformed into a Blood Demon.

So what if it could be done by multiple people instead of just one?

If there was no change even if two people were absorbed, or if the duration of the blood transformation was extended, then there was no problem.

But what if the blood magic becomes even stronger?

‘That’s a bit dangerous.’

If the guy’s body had become stronger than that, it might have been difficult to guarantee victory or defeat at this point.

Hyunseong is chasing after the guy in a hurry.

However, it seemed that it was already too late.

The guy’s body had swelled to the point where it looked like it was going to burst, and he looked more like a giant bear than a human.

“Kurrrrrr…”

A blood demon who lets out a beast-like howl, as if he has lost his sense of reason.

The guy started absorbing not only the Awakened hostages, but also his own subordinates.

“Hey, boss, what are you doing!”

“Us!”

“Krrrrr…”

Crunch, crunch

Screaming hobos with creepy sounds.

And then, the blood demon just…

Rain, thud.

Crunch.

“Now it’s not just absorption, it’s eating it.”

Literally chewed it up.

Ma Cheon-gang and Elena, who were dealing with homeless people elsewhere, also looked puzzled when they saw the Blood Demon.

“Hey, what is this?”

“It’s a blood demon.”

“… This? It doesn’t look human from the start.”

“Let’s call it a blood demon because it looks more like a bear than a human.”

“Now is not the time to talk about that.”

The bum, the awakened, and the guy who ate whatever he could get his hands on grew even bigger.

Now he looked more like a monster than a person.

“Khuu …

The guy who roars.

The sound alone was enough to shake the cave.

Gurrrrrrung…!

Ma Cheon-gang frowned as he looked up at the cave ceiling at the ominous sound that followed.

“If we keep fighting here, we’ll probably get buried alive together.”

“It doesn’t seem like we’ll be able to get anything out of it anyway, so let’s just get out.”

There is no need to fight and take unnecessary risks.

However, if it were to be released here on the third floor, it would be a major disaster, so we have to deal with it.

“Kuung!”

The guy who had lost his mind chased after me, roaring.

at that time,

-What’s going on, bro? What’s going on in the cave?

Luke’s voice came from the radio he had equipped for communication.

“What’s the situation outside?”

-The vagrants and the awakened ones came out mixed together, so I couldn’t catch them all. But, they all seem to be running away. What’s going on? It looks like the mountain is going to collapse.

“There’s someone acting up. I’m going to get out of the cave first.”

-Okay, I’ll prepare supporting fire.

When the communication was cut off, the three people, including Hyunseong, who had finally come out of the cave, immediately turned around.

“Kyaaaaak!!”

A blood demon breaking out of a narrow cave.

The impact of the entrance breaking apart was the final blow, and the mountain began to sink.

Ma Cheon-gang breathed a sigh of relief.

“If I had been even a little bit later, I would have really been buried alive.”

But now that we’re out there, we can fight without worrying about that.

As I was looking at the giant blood demon, I heard Luke’s voice on the radio.

-Weren’t you going to catch a vagrant? What on earth did you bring?

“It may be hard to believe, but just a moment ago, that guy was a vagrant too.”

-… Really?

“Oh really.”

Luke muttered as he aimed at the Blood Demon’s head.

but,

Kaang!

The head of the blood demon turns with a sharp sound.

Even his sniping was unable to penetrate the Blood Demon’s head.

-You’re crazy, you just endured this?

A bewildered voice came from the other end of the radio.

The moment the Blood Demon’s head turned towards Luke, Ma Cheon-gang and Elena each began to move.

“Ugh!”

As Ma Cheon-gang stepped on the Jin-gak and thrust his spear, the Blood Demon’s side burst open.

At the same time, Elena cuts off the guy’s arm with a scythe.

Phew!

Crunch!

“Kuaaaah!!”

A guy who lets out a roar of pain as his flesh bursts and is cut off.

However,

Kkuddeuk!

Swish!

The side that had burst out was filled, and the severed arm began to grow again.

The two looked shocked at the ridiculous recovery speed.

“You’re really being a bit of a rascal.”

“That’s what I’m saying. Should I cut off his head?”

“But what if you recover?”

“Don’t say such horrible things, sir.”

“Let’s go to the consumer area.”

The two people’s gaze turned to the back at Hyunseong’s suddenly heard words.

Hyunseong, who was watching from behind, confirmed through Seol-ah that the blood demon’s energy had decreased the moment it recovered.

“It means that you recover as much as you absorb…”

“If you keep getting beaten, you’ll come to your senses and go back to how you were. You can’t come this far and leave without getting a single piece of information, right?”

Since we couldn’t fight properly inside for fear of the cave collapsing, we didn’t have to worry about that now.

If there were no restrictions, it wouldn’t have been that difficult of an opponent for the two of them.

Ma Cheon-gang smiles as if it’s fun.

“They say that a whip is the best medicine for a madman.”

“… That’s a perfect expression.”

This time, Hyunseong also lifted Seol-ah and took a stance.

Ma Cheon-gang glances at Hyeon-seong, who is posing next to him.

“If you find it difficult, you can just leave?”

“Is this a provocation? Then shall we bet on a deal?”

“When I told you to do it, you backed out. What’s going on?”

“No, I think this level of penalty is okay. So are you going to do it or not?”

“Call. Elena, you’re watching. Luke too.”

-I want to join too, but I’m not a Kkamnyang yet, so what can I do?

“Oh, it’s not even a child.”

Elena, who had been watching from the side, put the scythe she was holding on her shoulder as if she was dumbfounded.

They say that men still have a childish side even as they age, and this was exactly what he looked like right now.

“By the way, if you kill, you lose.”

I need to keep him alive to get information, but if I kill him to win a bet, it would be putting the cart before the horse.

Ma Cheon-gang nodded and took his seat.

“Then I will go first.”

“Krrrrrrr!”

A guy who runs wild and realizes that he’s being completely ignored.

A fist larger than an adult’s face was extended toward Macheon River,

Crunch! Crunch!

Pervert!

I couldn’t even fully extend my arms and just flew away.

His right arm, which had been stretched out straight, was turned into a rag by the spear, and not only that, but holes that looked like insects had eaten through his left shoulder and leg were created.

-Is it considerable?

It was just a simple gesture of throwing a spear, but a fierce vortex of energy surrounded the spear and tore everything apart.

If you try to block it rashly, you will be torn apart.

Hyunseong clenched his teeth as if it was natural for him to react like that.

“You should do at least that much.”

Even when he was in the martial arts world, he was the one who achieved the highest level, except for himself who was the best in the world.

At that time, the only one who could compete with him in more than fifty rounds was Ma Cheon-gang.

Seol-ah, who had been quietly listening to the story, asked in a puzzled voice.

-But you know what?

“why?”

-If you just look at the martial arts level, it’s lower than it is now, right?

“yes.”

-But you didn’t have any rivals? Was that a period of stagnation with few talented people?

“No, quite the opposite.”

-You’re against it?

“There were so many strong guys that they wanted to fight each other.”

If one side had been overwhelmingly stronger, they would have given up and lived in humility.

However, since neither side was strong enough to support the other, they ended up fighting without giving in.

“And then they all turned against me.”

-… …

Cheonma, the leader of the martial arts world, blood horse.

And so on and so forth.

“You could say that the golden age of the strongest people in the history of martial arts has come to an end with me and Cheon Gang.”

-… Are you bragging?

“any?”

“What are you talking about?”

“The story of how you and I destroyed the martial arts world.”

“… After that, looking at the state of the martial arts world, I felt a bit sorry.”

It is said that now, with the emergence of the Awakened, it is experiencing its second heyday.

As we were talking like that, the blood demon finished recovering and crawled out again.

However, he just looked at me warily and didn’t show any signs of rushing in like he did just now.

“Then it’s my turn now.”

Hyunseong steps forward holding Seol-ah.

“If you kill, you lose.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t kill you.”

The shoulders of the Blood Demon shook as they met Hyunseong’s crimson gaze.
