134. Volcano Monster

“Then, if you find anything, contact me.”

“okay.”

“okay.”

So, Hyunseong broke up with the two people.

Luke, who had been sniping from afar, saw that the situation was over and approached him.

“So now we’re going back to the 5th floor?”

“That’s right.”

Before leaving, I was trying to ask where my group was when I found a text message.

[Stop by and listen, the kids are here too.]

A message from Seoian.

It seemed like she had something to say.

Hyunseong looked at Luke and clenched his teeth.

“Let’s stop by somewhere else before we go.”

“I don’t care, but where?”

“A castle you can’t go to.”

“Huh? Isn’t that place on the 4th floor?”

“that’s right.”

“Why are you there all of a sudden?”

“That’s our base.”

“Hoo.”

Luke looked interested.

Who would have thought that they would use that place, untouched by the Awakened, as their base?

“But is it okay if you tell me that? I’m cooperating right now, but I’m the one who’s after your head.”

“I’m saying, if you can, try it.”

“Oh, you’re so confident.”

“Just for your information, I can’t guarantee that you’ll win or lose against the owner there.”

“…really?”

“okay.”

The reason I won the last time was because I suddenly realized something and the other side didn’t have time to prepare.

By now, you probably have prepared for the space.

“Okay, so don’t be upset for no reason.”

“Okay, keep that in mind.”

After finishing the story with Luke, Hyunseong heads to the 4th floor.

As he entered the nearby portal, a desolate land greeted him.

First of all, I searched around Seol-A to see where this place was.

-It’s closer than you thought?

“You’re lucky.”

It seemed like I could get there quickly since it was this distance.

As we moved quickly, soon we came into sight of a castle we couldn’t reach.

Luke is amazed by the sight that unfolds as he enters.

“oh.”

A castle that looks like something out of a medieval fantasy movie.

There were quite a few places like this within the labyrinth, but this was the first one that was preserved this well.

Because most places occupied by monsters were reduced to ruins.

“however…”

I noticed orcs diligently repairing various parts of the old building.

A monster that I can’t even remember the last time I saw it.

“Why is the orc here?”

I expected there to be a monster, but I couldn’t help but be perplexed because it was a monster that wasn’t even a candidate for expectation.

Since it’s on the 4th floor, I thought it might be an undead type.

“I brought it.”

“Your brother?”

“I saved their village. And I even had one of my subordinates teach me martial arts.”

“Orcs even use martial arts?”

“Oh, I guess I could learn it.”

What if an orc, who can tear humans apart and fight a bear head-on with just his basic specs, also learns martial arts?

What if you end up fighting those orcs?

‘That’s terrible.’

Its power will be truly beyond imagination.

For a long time, many martial arts masters have been saying that martial arts are exclusive to humans, so I naturally assumed that was true.

‘The capital is quite large.’

If all the orcs here use martial arts…

At that time, when I was thinking like that,

“Here’s what you asked for.”

“Thank you, Chwiik.”

A female monster that flies gently from the sky and approaches the orc.

She had the appearance of an innocent and pretty village girl, but soon her eyes widened at the sight of her devil-like wings and tail.

Luke was so surprised that he even stuttered.

“Excuse me, is that a succubus?”

“that’s right.”

A monster that has been a hot topic for a while and is still sought after by many Awakened people.

I heard that you suddenly disappeared, but I never thought you’d be here.

however…

“This isn’t the succubus I was expecting.”

“There was a good reason for that.”

“?”

At that time, monsters discovered Hyunseong and came to greet him.

“Oh, hello!”

“Chwiik, are you here?”

“Okay, work hard.”

Until we can talk, laugh, chat, work and communicate.

Aside from the fact that they were orcs and succubi, they didn’t seem much different from other people.

These are monsters that were previously thought to be completely different from humans.

‘I just thought Hyung-ssi was a special monster.’

Looking at it this way, Hyunseong is only strong, but it’s hard to say that he’s a special monster.

Until now, he had only thought of the monster as a simple experience, but Luke’s perception of it changed significantly.

So, as I was passing through the entrance and heading towards the castle, Sagonghyeon spotted Hyeonseong from afar and approached me.

“Are you here?”

“How are the orcs’ skills these days?”

“To be honest, I’ve been a little stuck lately.”

“okay?”

“I wonder if it’s a characteristic of their race, but they seem to be very vulnerable to meditation.”

When they first started learning martial arts, there were many orcs who quickly improved their skills, but most of them still didn’t even know why they were meditating.

“Why don’t you just cut it once more at that time?”

There are even guys who say things like that.

Of course, that wasn’t wrong either.

The more you swing it, the more your martial arts proficiency will increase.

‘but…’

Meditation is not just about exercising.

In terms of studying, it was similar to previewing the path you will take in the future and reviewing the path you have taken.

In the process, Hyunseong also realized how to connect the world and himself.

“sorry.”

“What is there to be sorry about? I was born that way.”

It is not easy to change something that is innate without putting in a lot of effort.

It is only Rashi who is an exception among the orcs, as he always meditates according to his own words.

“Even if we split up, we can still hunt on the 4th floor.”

“Oh really?”

This was an unexpected harvest.

In any case, it meant that I had hands and feet that I could use.

As they were talking like that, Sakonghyun glanced at Luke.

“Who is this person?”

“My name is Luke. I have a contract with you here, so I’ll be accompanying you for the time being.”

“Nice to meet you. I’m Sa-gong-hyeon.”

“For your information, there is a Black Wolf Lord in the Cheonmasin Church.”

“…What are you talking about?”

If it was the Black Wolf of the Heavenly Demon Sect, Luke would at least know the name.

But why is the Black Wolf under Hyeonseong, who even has a bounty on him from the Cheonmasingyo?

“I guess the other Black Wolf Lord has probably been chosen by now, so I guess the Black Wolf Lord would be a more appropriate expression.”

“Is that so?”

I also accepted it as if it were natural.

Luke, who doesn’t understand the situation and keeps asking questions.

There was too little information to guess what would happen to Hyunseong and Sagonghyun’s relationship based on just their conversation.

“I think I should tell you something too.”

Hyunseong briefly describes himself.

Luke’s mouth dropped open when he heard that.

“Hyung, you said that Hyung-ssi was a demon?”

“okay.”

“… … ”

I somehow felt like it was too strong for the skeleton theme, but I guess there’s a reason for that.

This was information that Luke and his companions already knew.

“By the way, the martial art that Mr. Brin is learning is called Cheonma Shingong, right?”

“Keruk.”

“It’s the same name as the one used by Cheonma in Cheonma Shingyo.”

“Yeah, that’s amazing.”

“What’s so amazing about that martial arts?”

“Ah… yes?”

“You didn’t know?”

As we were taking a break and talking, I realized that I had not revealed my identity.

Luke looked around once more.

“There is a Cheonma here, and there are former Cheonma Sect members here…”

“It’s a new religion of the Heavenly Demon Sect created by monsters and humans.”

“… … ”

Monsters that would fight or reject each other when they meet begin to cooperate with each other with Cheonma as the central figure.

The race may not seem like many now, but as their numbers increase, their power will grow exponentially.

What if there’s a monster unit there that’s learning martial arts?

‘The balance of power will change soon.’

I breathed a sigh of relief once again at the fact that I was still alive after fighting the leader of such a place.

At that moment, another beautiful voice was heard.

* * *

“I told you to come here, so why are you just sitting here?”

The one there was the Banshee, Seoian, said to be one of the strongest monsters on the 4th floor.

“No, I was just talking.”

“…But, what about that human?”

Luke’s whole body tensed at the gaze looking at him.

I thought it was inevitable that monsters would be hostile to humans, but the problem was that my intuition was alerting me to danger at its peak.

‘If you move even one finger, you die.’

It was obvious that he was on guard, or rather, threatening himself.

A monster that can put this much pressure on you.

Even though it was a boss, it was difficult to think of it as a monster on the 4th floor.

“Up to there.”

The pressure was relieved when Hyunseong came between Luke and Seoian.

I had even forgotten to breathe because of the pressure I had felt just now.

“Ugh… Ugh…”

Luke is breathing heavily.

It wasn’t just about being strong.

The moment he showed even the slightest hint of hostility, he would have met death.

“Don’t bother me too much. We’ll be hanging out together for a while.”

“Seriously, what if you keep bringing humans to a place where there are monsters? And there’s even a succubus there.”

“There are already three people.”

“They’re trustworthy, that’s why they’re like that, but anyway, don’t bring too many.”

In the case of the three people, it was possible because they had been together from the beginning or had already heard some of the story, but Luke was brought in out of the blue.

Since they were monsters, they had to be more wary of humans than before.

“He’s quite a useful guy.”

“Well, since you brought him here, I don’t think he’d do anything useless.”

Only then did Luke seem to understand why Hyunseong had said that.

If I had accidentally offended someone, I might have ended my life.

Hyunseong checked that Luke’s complexion had returned and asked Seoian.

“So, what about the kids?”

“I went up to the 5th floor for a moment.”

Was it possible to go to the 5th floor for a short while?

Did Han Ji-soo learn some kind of magic that allows her to move as fast as Seol-ah?

With that in mind, he decided to first ask why he had called him.

“Why did you call me here?”

“I called you to give you this.”

She answers like that and then throws something.

When I received it, it was a slightly different type of talisman from the one I had received before.

“What is this?”

“It’s like an access card.”

“Passport? You already have this.”

The realization of taking out what was previously received.

With this, you can bypass the distortion barrier that surrounds the castle and enter.

What’s the difference between this and that?

“It’s an upgrade from that.”

“Upgrade? Does it mean that you can move directly from outside the barrier to inside the castle?”

“Just follow me for now.”

The place Seoian was taken to was a fairly large square in front of the castle.

And, there was one thing that stood out oddly.

“Portal? Come to think of it, this is the first time I’ve seen a portal here.”

Just as monsters don’t spawn due to interference, portals don’t appear here either.

Hyunseong drew a question mark above his head, and Seol-ah seemed to have figured out what Seo-ian had created just by looking at him.

-Oh, is that what you just gave me?

“that’s right.”

“… So instead of just having a conversation between yourselves, explain it to me.”

-So, what I gave you this time is the key to get here.

“If it’s here… this portal?”

“huh.”

“Where from?”

“On the 3rd or 5th floor.”

It took a very short while for Hyunseong to understand what Seol-ah and Seo-ian were saying.

This is the conclusion I came to after organizing all the questions that came to my mind.

“So, if I have this, does that mean I’ll definitely come here when I go to the 4th floor?”

“That’s right. As expected, you understand quickly.”

“Then when you go to another floor?”

“Once you decide whether to go up or down, the rest will be moved randomly through the open portals.”

“oh”

Hyunseong enters the portal just to try it out.

Hwaruk.

As soon as he entered, hot lava greeted him and sparked.

When I re-entered the portal I came from, I was in the same place I just came from.

This time, as we went down, a dense forest spread out before our eyes.

-I can see Grandpa Steel’s blacksmith shop over there.

“and…”

Hyunseong exclaimed in admiration.

I thought it was amazing that they were able to fix the portal, but I never thought they would do this much.

“How did you do that?!”

From inside Hyunseong’s skull, dark red eyes sparkled.

If you had pupils, wouldn’t they be bright and shining?

Seoian smiled at that sight and opened his mouth.

“I can say that this is all thanks to you.”
