Monster Heavenly King - Chapter 136



Only Noblemtl

136. Volcano Monster (3)

The Awakened moved in unison.

The plum blossom inspection was not something to be underestimated, as it was carried out by plum blossom inspectors who were classified as the best even in the Hwasan faction.

Even when I was in the martial arts world, I suffered so much because of those guys.

‘furthermore…’

If it is something that an Awakened Person on the 5th floor can unleash, its power will be beyond imagination.

Luke, who was behind him, pulled out a revolver and clicked his tongue.

“Isn’t close combat too harsh for a gunner right after arriving?”

Even the Hwasan faction is not a small group and is well-known within the association.

Because he was the best among them.

One of the guys who had taken his seat opened his mouth after seeing Luke, Han Ji-hyun, and Han Ji-soo.

“I don’t know who you are, but the Awakened ones, get out! Our only enemies are monsters…”

“no.”

“yes?”

“There’s no way there’d be an Awakened person with monsters. Those guys are all monsters too.”

“Wow.”

I couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration at the words spoken in a solemn voice that seemed to declare something.

This isn’t some fanaticism or anything.

I never thought it would be this extreme.

“It’s become difficult to even pull my feet out.”

I didn’t intend to take it out, but I couldn’t help but let out a whine.

Luke kept his revolver in his holster, ready to pull the trigger at any time.

“I’ll provide support fire first.”

Even though rapid fire was possible, the enemy was a formidable opponent, so we couldn’t afford to waste bullets.

At this close range, you won’t even be able to reload.

Hyunseong was about to step forward, but Seoian put a hand on his shoulder and stopped him.

“why?”

“No, just leave it to the kids for now.”

“what?”

“If you and I take care of it, it should be over quickly. But, you don’t plan on taking care of it forever, do you?”

A crisis of this level is something you can easily experience while living in a labyrinth.

I had to be able to overcome it on my own.

“Besides, you tend to ignore them a bit, but the kids are pretty good at it too?”

“…okay?”

Come to think of it, it’s been a while since I’ve seen a proper fight.

“And I also want to see something called a plum blossom examination.”

“what?”

“It’s the Volcano faction! The Volcano faction! When you use your swordsmanship, it smells like plum blossoms, right?”

Her eyes sparkled as she spoke.

The Volcano faction appears frequently in martial arts novels, so it seems that it caught her interest.

Hyunseong sighed softly at the sight and clacked his teeth.

“You guys should try it out.”

When Hyunseong said he would not come out, the group exchanged glances as if communicating with each other and nodded.

“Haat!”

The battle started with Leah gathering energy.

As he released the energy within him without even controlling it, the surroundings began to freeze in an instant.

Tsk tsk tsk!!

The cold air that spread around, piercing through the heat of the volcano, instantly caught the plum blossom inspector’s feet.

“What?!”

“What kind of cold is this…!”

“Wasn’t she a succubus or a snow woman?”

An attack using ice in a volcanic area.

Although they were taken aback by the unexpected attack, the Awakened responded quickly.

Pachijik!

Plum blossom inspectors breaking the ice stuck to their feet.

But the attack didn’t end there.

Tsk tsk tsk!

Making an area out of ice is simply a process of creating an area that is advantageous to oneself.

The true value of the Nine-Eight Swordsmanship began here.

Fired! F*ck!

Sharp ice picks protruding from the frozen ground.

Not only that, but the ice that stretched out from the ground moved like vines and rushed to tie up the plum blossom inspectors.

“What the hell is this?!”

“Watch out, attacks are coming from the floor!”

Seol-ah, who was looking at it, let out a sigh of admiration.

-This… seems closer to a supernatural ability than a martial arts skill.

“To be honest, I’m a little surprised too.”

It’s not impossible to create the same phenomenon with qi, but I thought it was a later story.

I wonder what happened while I was gone.

I think so, and Seoian, who was watching from the side, nodded with satisfaction.

“As expected, you’re doing well if I give you a little bit of advice.”

“Did you tell me something?”

“I just taught you how to use your energy. That’s all I taught you, and that’s how much you’re getting.”

They say that Gu Eum Jeol Maek is a peerless genius, so is that why?

The plum blossom swordsmanship was disrupted by one attack from Leah.

“now!”

The group did not miss that moment and rushed towards the Awakened.

“Keruk!”

Brin, who moves between the plum inspectors and disrupts the battlefield.

“What is this guy?”

“Are you a goblin?”

“Why are there goblins on the 5th floor?!”

“Shut up for now… Hey, be careful!”

The moment an opening appeared, Rashi’s heavy blow struck the plum inspector.

Rash’s heavy blow blew the Awakener away with his sword.

“Hey, what’s that guy?”

“Is it an orc?”

“He’s handsome…?”

“He’s handsome and cool, so let’s attack first!”

“Even if I wanted to do that…!”

It was difficult to properly approach Brin and Rashi due to Han Ji-hyun, Han Ji-soo, and Alyssa’s restraint.

-Is it pretty good?

The connection was pretty good, no, quite excellent.

It would have been difficult if the inspection had been activated, but now that Leah’s attack had created an opening, it was just one plum inspector.

Even though the opponent was an Awakened One, they were doing a proper party hunt.

And, Hyunseong was surprised for another reason.

‘Your skills have improved a lot?’

Plum inspection is the best in the volcano.

Brin and Rashi were never pushed back by them.

No, rather, it is showing an advantageous appearance.

-Didn’t you say that the plum inspector or the plum inspector is the best in the Hwasan faction?

‘that’s right.’

-But, are you being pushed around by kids who haven’t even studied for a year? Are the Hwasanpa martial arts any good?

‘If you fight with the Twenty-Four Hands Plum Blossom Sword Technique, you won’t be able to say that.’

The sword technique used by the man known as the Volcanic Sword Master, the Plum Blossom Sword Master, who fought him.

The plum blossom swordsmanship, which was centered around illusion, speed, and transformation, was so dazzling that even the victims didn’t know what had hit them.

It was a swordsmanship that had threatened his life several times while fighting.

-So did the kids evolve and become stronger?

‘The influence of evolution is not completely absent, but it is only a small part.’

Even though goblins and orcs evolved, it wasn’t to the extent that the 5th floor Awakened couldn’t handle it.

-Then that would be weird.

If it’s not because of martial arts or evolution, then why are Brin and Rashi beating them?

To that question, Hyunseong looked at his disciples and answered.

‘There are many complex reasons, but my disciples are learning martial arts that are suitable for them.’

Usually, those who learn martial arts believe that secret techniques that have been passed down through many hands for a long time are the right ones and learn them as is.

However, it was a form most suitable for the founder of martial arts, not for the learner.

That is why there are countless cases where even if you learn the best martial arts in the world, you cannot become the best in the world.

‘The key is not to adapt yourself to martial arts, but to adapt martial arts to yourself.’

Hyunseong always held the belief that ‘there is no weak martial arts under heaven’.

Because I thought that even the weakest martial arts could become the best in the world depending on who learned it.

-So the plum inspectors are learning martial arts that don’t suit them?

‘yes.’

Here, the word ‘it doesn’t fit’ that Hyunseong is talking about doesn’t mean that he doesn’t have talent.

To use an analogy…

‘You can wear clothes that don’t fit even if they’re a little uncomfortable, right? That’s how it is.’

It just doesn’t fit you perfectly.

Among them, there may be those who are suited to the heavy (重) rather than the change, change, or change of the plum blossom sword technique, and there may even be those who are not suited to the sword itself.

If you had a spear or a bow, you could have been a talented person who could command the world.

‘If you just learn by following, it will take time, but you will be able to achieve great success.’

However, the difference between remaining just another expert or becoming the best in the world was there.

-Then what about the plum blossom swordsman I fought with before?

‘The history of the Volcano Sect is only a few years old. In that long history, there could be at least one person who was hit by the Plum Blossom Sword Technique.’

Or maybe the guy just changed the plum blossom sword technique to suit himself.

-I get what you’re saying.

Why Brin and Rash got stronger so quickly.

It could be said that the synergy effect was achieved because they learned martial arts that suited them, although they each had their own talents.

-I thought you just threw in a random martial art, but you’re really watching me.

‘I was accepted as a disciple, so how could I have done that?’

-You said at first that Rashi lacked the five senses.

‘It’s just that I’m not good enough to learn general martial arts.’

So, after much thought, he decided to teach Rashi the Pacheondo.

Because Pacheondo was a martial art that minimized the amount of knowledge required to learn it.

‘but…’

-but?

‘If it goes into a long war, it’s disadvantageous.’

No matter how quickly Brin and Rash became stronger, the skills of the plum swordsmen who had been training for a long time could not be ignored.

Right now, they are seizing the opportunity because they are flustered after being caught in a weak spot, but if they regain their composure, they will inevitably be pushed back.

Rather, where can you overwhelm even for a moment?

“Damn it! These guys…!”

“Is this an orc?”

“Aren’t these some kind of new monster?!?”

The manager, who had been watching helplessly as the plum blossoms were not even properly examined, opened his mouth.

“Yell!!”

Swish!

A shout filled with inner energy spread throughout the surroundings.

Not only the disciples and sisters, but even Luke was startled.

Because the murderous intent mixed in the shouting sound seemed like it would rush at him at any moment.

At the same time, the plum inspectors who had been embarrassed regained their composure.

-The atmosphere changed in an instant.

The situation, which was turning into a situation of instability, was restored to its original state with just one shout from the guy.

This is something that is impossible without knowing the flow of battle well.

It seemed like that guy was a master on a whole other level than the plum inspectors here.

“Unfold the plum blossom inspection.”

Once again, a low-pitched sound flows out of the guy’s mouth.

The plum inspectors gripped their swords with solemn expressions at the captain’s words.

“It’s going to be hard for the kids when the checkup starts. What are you going to do?”

“Tsk, you’re spoiling something that’s already been cooked.”

Seoian clicked his tongue and scratched his head.

I never expected that the middle-aged man in front of me would be this skilled.

“I’ll help the kids deal with the Volcano faction. You take on the boss role.”

“You leave the most annoying thing to me.”

That one guy looks more difficult to deal with than all the guys here.

“Change.”

“Then let’s change the portal magic too.”

“Change it again.”

Hyunseong immediately backs down at Seoian’s one word.

The convenience provided by the talisman was indescribable, so it was worth the effort.

As Hyunseong stood in front of the man holding Seol-ah, his eyebrows twitched.

“So you were the monsters that the association was talking about.”

“story?”

It seemed that the story of Hyunseong and Seoian had been going on within the association as well.

Judging from what they were saying, it didn’t seem like a cheerful atmosphere like the Awakened Community.

“Those whose very existence threatens humanity.”

“her?”

“If it becomes known that there are people like you… it will only hinder humanity’s progress.”

Srrrrung

The man drew his sword from his waist with a cold sound, muttering.

“You are something that should not exist.”
