Monster Heavenly King - Chapter 132



Only Noblemtl

132. Clue (4)

“Kurururuk…”

A blood demon who lets out a low growl while on alert.

Seol-ah asked the beast-like figure.

-Are all blood demons usually like this?

“No way.”

It’s not that he has abandoned humanity, but he has literally given up on being human. There is no way he could be a blood demon.

Blood Demon is a realm that is only mentioned as a legend in the Blood Demon Divine Art.

If the end of cultivation is to transcend humanity and become a transcendent being, then it is understandable. However, if losing one’s reason and becoming physically stronger is what makes a blood demon, then one must return the name of divine power.

‘It may be a failure, but the problem is that it is a failure to this extent.’

If it weren’t for the 3rd or 4th floor vagabonds, but someone stronger than that, he would become a blood demon.

There was a possibility that a monster that would be too difficult for him, Ma Cheon-gang, or Elena to handle alone, would emerge.

‘If there’s one thing that’s fortunate…’

Does that mean that the terrible incident of a group of homeless people turning into blood demons never happened?

If that had been the case, neither he nor Ma Cheon-gang would have been able to sit here and leisurely have a fight.

-There must be a minimum requirement to learn the skill called [Blood Demon Fire].

‘The minimum requirement is…’

The lab I discovered when I was on the 4th floor.

It occurred to me that it might have something to do with the experiments with the Awakened there.

-I wish I had gotten more information instead of killing that blood cult bastard back then.

“What can I do? He was the one who rushed at me, telling me to die together with him.”

If I had tried to catch the guy there instead of killing him, I would have ended up as a skeleton somewhere in that lab with him.

Hyunseong muttered like that and then corrected Seol-ah.

“Crunch.”

A blood demon that reacts immediately to your movements.

I looked around to see if there was a place I could run to, but it wasn’t easy to escape because Ma Cheon-gang and Elena were on guard.

In the end, the method he came up with was-

“Kyaak!”

It was about breaking through the side that seemed the weakest.

Elena was also quite skilled, and there was no need to mention her following Ma Cheon-gang.

The guy, who judged that he wouldn’t be able to recover even a single bone if he attacked the two people, naturally rushed towards Hyeonseong.

‘It’s true that I’m the easiest among these right now.’

It’s just bones, and the feeling is different.

Even if you brought a monster instead of a blood demon, the result would have been the same.

Hyunseong looked at the guy running towards him and placed his hand on Seol-ah’s handle.

Kaang!

The sharp sound of a strong guy’s claws clashing with his teeth.

The posture collapsed as the giant hand flew out with flames.

Heavenly Demon Sword Technique

Heavenly Sword

The blood demon’s hand, which had been thrown away, soared into the air.

It would be more accurate to say that the wound was torn rather than cut by a sword.

Moreover, the attack was not limited to one time.

Kkwadduk!

Kagakak!

The blood demon’s body twisted here and there with a creepy sound.

“Goooooooo!!”

A guy screaming in pain.

Seol-ah couldn’t help but feel puzzled when she saw that sight.

‘How did you do it?’

Power wasn’t the issue.

Even though it was an attack using himself, he didn’t properly understand what kind of attack Hyunseong had just made.

Finally, Seol-ah couldn’t hold it in any longer and asked.

-How did you do it?

Hyunseong laughed, his teeth chattering, at Seol-ah’s reaction.

“Martial arts are performed by people, not by swords.”

-What are you talking about?

“It means you still don’t know much about martial arts.”

Seol-ah couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.

I thought I knew everything about the martial arts that Hyunseong used, but I never thought there was something he was still hiding.

“I thought you were being overbearing lately, so I tried to force myself to have some discipline.”

-Then why didn’t you use it until now?

“No, actually, this is a bit difficult to write.”

-You were trying to maintain discipline with that?

“When you first establish discipline, you have to be a bit strict.”

Of course, it was not only for that reason, but also to let his old friend know how far he had come.

As Hyunseong had intended, Ma Cheon-gang was sticking out his tongue inwardly at the sight.

‘That guy is really crazy.’

He was convinced that he had surpassed his past self through years of training after Hyunseong left the world of martial arts.

And even now that we met again, I still thought that I was in a higher place than Hyeonseong.

‘but…’

The mystery and truth contained in that blow just now had reached his feet.

It’s absurd that hundreds of years of training were caught up to in an instant.

‘If you think about it, he was actually strong in real combat from the beginning.’

Hyunseong was unrivaled in practical skills.

His extreme concentration allowed him to fight even strong opponents who were one or two steps ahead of him, and he also showed off his skills during battle.

Since such battles were repeated not once or twice but continuously, Hyeonseong had no choice but to become stronger quickly.

‘That’s the real swordsman…’

In fact, his former colleagues, including himself, had thought that Hyunseong might have suffered something related to the Sword Demon when he was experimented on.

at that time,

“Crunch…”

A blood demon that rises up with a start.

The rate at which wounds heal is noticeably reduced.

Ma Cheon-gang, who thought of a bet at that sight, was delighted.

“Oh, you’re still alive?”

Besides, it didn’t seem like he had come to his senses.

So now it was his turn again.

Thinking like that, I try to move forward,

“What are you doing?”

Hyunseong stops Ma Cheon-gang with a voice that seems to say that it is ridiculous.

“What are you talking about? I’m still alive, so it’s my turn.”

“No. What was our bet?”

“It was a deal… … Hey, wait a minute.”

Ma Cheon-gang, who had been talking up to that point, seemed to notice something and started complaining.

It had been so long since I had made a bet that I had completely forgotten Hyunseong’s personality.

Hyunseong laughed, his teeth clicking, as if he was delighted by Ma Cheon-gang’s reaction.

“Are you noticing now?”

-What are you talking about?

Only Seol-ah, who was listening in the center, was bewildered by the story that she couldn’t understand.

“What we did was a bet, not a punching machine to see who could do more damage with one punch.”

That is, his turn was not over yet.

-Then, Ma Cheon-gang could have just caught the baton and not passed it to you?

“Then you should have done so when I said it was my turn.”

Isn’t it already past turn?

Hyunseong continued speaking in a leisurely voice, as if he were a senior giving advice to a junior.

“Do you know why rules are necessary in games and betting?”

-Why do you need it?

“To take advantage of things that aren’t governed by rules.”

-… …

Seol-ah was left speechless by that absurd statement.

Because what Hyunseong said wasn’t wrong.

However, it’s a different story for those who have been affected.

When other people said something, Hyunseong had a set amount of things to say.

“If you tease me, I’ll give you a thousand dollars.”

The Cheonma Shingyo religion ruled by power.

And Hyunseong, who was sitting there.

It was truly an omnipotent power.

but,

“That was when you were a celestial horse.”

This was not the Cheonmasingyo, and he had become stronger, so he had no intention of just letting it pass.

However, it is not possible to fight with the enemy in front of you.

“Then, let’s do it like this.”

“how?”

“I hit him once, so let’s compete when he recovers this time.”

“okay.”

at that time,

The size of the Blood Demon, whose wounds were almost healed, began to gradually decrease.

“Ugh… Sa, save me…”

Is it because you feel your life is in danger?

A vagabond who returned to human form and began begging.

“Oh, what is this? It’s real from now on.”

“Tsk, that’s too bad.”

“What are you regretting? Since you’ve returned to your original form, let’s ask right away.”

Elena approaches the fallen homeless man.

As she approached, the tramp flinched and squirmed.

“I’ll spare your life if you just answer my questions.”

“Excuse me?”

“Yeah, really.”

He’s going to die anyway even if you leave him alone.

I didn’t feel the need to kill him with my own hands.

Wouldn’t he meet an end befitting the crime he committed?

Although he had said it with that intention, Elena looked like an angel to the vagabond.

“Ask me anything. I will answer to the best of my knowledge.”

“Where did you get that skill you use?”

“That, that is…”

Fear flashed in the tramp’s eyes at her question.

Feeling fear means you know something.

Elena smiled and repeated what the tramp had said.

“Didn’t you just tell me to ask you anything?”

“Well, that’s true, but other than that… ”

“Then, can I tear your limbs off here with my own hands?”

Hearing it in such a soft tone made me feel even more scared.

The image of her that I had thought was an angel was nowhere to be found, and she already looked like a devil like Hyeonseong or Ma Cheon-gang.

A homeless person opens his mouth as if he has no choice.

“Hey, I got it from the guild.”

“Guild?”

“The hobos… kekekeke?!”

The guy who was talking suddenly grabbed his head.

Perhaps because he had passed the limit of the pain he could feel, he could not even scream properly, and only the sound of gasping for breath could be heard.

“Ugh… Ugh!”

“What the… all of a sudden?!”

The veins stood out all over the guy’s body, and soon his body began to turn blood red as if he had used the Blood Demonization skill again.

I just watched quietly because it didn’t look like it was ready to fight, but its body started to swell up as if it was going to burst at any moment.

It had the same symptoms as the guy I saw before.

“Elena, get away!”

She immediately kicks the ground and distances herself from his words.

and,

Phew!

With a deafening sound, the guy’s body burst like a balloon and scattered around.

She stared blankly at the spot where the burst vagrant had been.

“… So when you say it exploded, it literally exploded.”

I knew it because Hyunseong told me, but it was even more bizarre when I saw it with my own eyes.

What on earth is the principle by which betrayal is detected and detonated to kill?

As I thought so, Ma Cheon-gang opened his mouth with a stern face.

“Hey, this is…”

“Oh, I was a bit skeptical when I first saw it, but now I’m a bit more certain. That’s right.”

“What is that?”

“Loneliness”

Hyunseong answers in a solemn voice.

However, she couldn’t help but tilt her head, as she didn’t know about loneliness.

“Loneliness? What is that?”

“It’s a bug that burrows into people’s heads. It’s usually quiet, but if it senses betrayal or something like that, it kills its host.”

Only when Ma Cheon-gang gave her a simple explanation did she frown.

“Is that really possible?”

It was a stupid thing to believe, but I couldn’t help but believe it because they both seemed serious.

Ma Cheon-gang also fully understood her reaction.

That was my reaction when I first learned of the existence of loneliness.

“It is possible, or rather, it would be more accurate to say that it was possible.”

“Why is it the past tense?”

“The place where that loneliness could be created was destroyed.”

By their own hands.

The reappearance of loneliness means only one thing.

It was the revival of the blood cult.
