Monster Heavenly King - Chapter 141



Only Noblemtl

141. The End of Evolution (4)

The rock that Seol-ah was stuck in flew at a fast speed like a meteor and hit the Fire Rock Snake directly.

Boom!

Grrrrrrrrrrrr!!

A crying sound accompanied by a loud noise that reverberates throughout the area.

Some of the rocks that made up the guy’s body broke off and scattered fragments.

The rocks, each containing lava and flames, exploded, reminiscent of firecrackers.

He quickly picked up Seol-ah, who had been blown away by the explosion.

As expected, the moment I picked it up, a voice full of complaints poured out like a machine gun.

-No matter what, isn’t it a bit much to throw it like that?

“How difficult is it to cut a whole rock while it’s stuck?”

If I had done it wrong, it would have exploded before I could have been cut.

I did this because I knew Seol-ah wouldn’t break anyway.

It was the best decision made in the current situation.

-I never thought there would be a user who would throw me away.

No being would let go of itself even if it meant dying.

In response to that, Hyunseong shrugged his shoulders and clacked his teeth.

“I am a person whose life is the most precious to me. I acted like this when I was in the martial arts world.”

Hyunseong acted more efficiently.

A martial artist would never use the Naryeotagon (懶驢打滾) technique, even if he were to be hit by an opponent’s attack.

Hyunseong rolled on the ground dozens of times, not only during his early days but also whenever he encountered a strong opponent.

Every time, there were people who would say things like, “Aren’t you ashamed of being a martial artist?” or “You’re not a martial artist.”

“All the guys who said that are dead.”

Rather, when those who had been scheming and making such remarks were threatened with their lives, they resorted to all sorts of vicious methods, including poison and secret weapons, and even hostage-taking, and in the end, they knelt down and begged for their lives.

What a sight it was.

In the first place, he was a person who was forcibly taken here and forced to learn martial arts.

Although he did not deny that he had power, he never took pride in being a martial artist or anything like that, saying that he was different from ordinary people.

“If that were the case, I wouldn’t have even thought about becoming a Cheonma and coming back.”

Perhaps it was this kind of uninhibited way of thinking that made him grow stronger so quickly.

-Does that sound like you’re going to throw me away in the future?

“If necessary, what’s ten times? I can throw it a hundred times.”

-… …

“Well, don’t worry, I won’t throw it that often.”

-You call that comforting?

“If you give me information in advance or assist me with magic, the number of throws will decrease.”

-… So you knew everything.

I told you the information about the Fire Rock Snake late because I thought it would be a joke, but I never thought it would turn out like this.

Unlike those who had used him and relied on him to the point of excessive dependence, Hyunseong felt that he could abandon himself if really needed.

“So, behave yourself.”

-Okay.

Seol-ah lets out a groan.

Hyunseong clacked his teeth as if he was happy.

Recently, the seal was released and Seol-ah’s nose seemed to be getting too high, so I thought it was time to establish some discipline.

While they were talking like that, the Flame Rock Snake that had fallen after being hit by the rock he had removed raised itself.

Kuguguggung.

Flames were streaming out from the rocks clustered around his head.

A guy who runs towards you with eyes that seem to be burning hostility towards you.

“Kagagagagak!”

A sound like rocks being crushed rang out.

“Is that really the sound of crying?”

-that’s right.

“The more I look at the fantasy world, the more amazing it becomes.”

Who would have thought that I would hear the sound of rocks being torn apart as a roar?

As the Fire Rock Serpent burrowed its tail into the ground, something snaked its way toward it from underground.

It reached the vicinity of the present,

Boom!

It just exploded.

Hyunseong instinctively sensed danger and avoided it by pulling back just before the explosion.

However, the attack that started from the guy came winding towards Hyunseong again.

Boom! Kwaang! Thump!

The attacks continued.

The Flame Rock Serpent continued its attack with its tail buried in the ground, not moving at all like a siege tank.

Hyunseong, who had been trying hard to avoid the sight, clenched his teeth.

“This kid…”

I thought you’d come and play.

Hyunseong continued to avoid the explosions and wait for an opportunity.

And –

Boom!

‘now!’

The moment the explosion occurs and the next attack comes out.

He quickly approached the Flame Rock Serpent, kicking the ground.

Krrrrrr! Kwaang! Bang!

The attack that was creeping towards him through the ground could not adapt to the changed speed and exploded first or later.

A guy who allowed himself to be invaded right in front of your nose in an instant.

“Kagagagagagak!!”

“Be quiet!”

He roared and tried to swallow himself, but Hyunseong swung his sword first.

Swish, thump!

A flaming rock snake’s head sliding down to the ground.

Hyunseong tilted his head as he looked at the smooth-looking cross-section.

‘Something’s strange?’

It was hard to put into words, but his feelings were warning him that it wasn’t over yet.

At that moment, the body of the headless guy began to move.

“What is this…?!”

I never thought I’d survive with my head cut off.

But, if you think about it calmly, it was natural.

‘He’s the guy who blows up parts of the body that are attacked.’

The stones that make up the guy aren’t part of the monster, but the monster drags the stones to create its own body.

If that’s the case, then it will continue to resurrect unless the core is destroyed.

“The key is to find the core…”

That couldn’t have been easy.

How could you possibly make it so easy to find something so vital?

-That’s why it’s common for magicians in parties to take care of it.

At that moment, lava began to flow from the rocks that formed the body of the Rock Flame Serpent.

Lava that instantly coats the guy’s entire body.

And then the subsequent human bomb attack.

However,

“Hey, are you crazy?!”

I couldn’t help but feel a sense of danger that was on a whole other level than before.

It was easy to dodge the swing of its body based on its enormous mass, but every time it attacked, lava flowing from its body would scatter in all directions, melting everything around it.

If it weren’t for the fire protection I received from Ifrit, my bones would have melted and holes would have formed here and there long ago.

Hyunseong grabbed Seol-ah while avoiding the attacks as much as possible.

So that you can swing it with full force at any time.

‘If we can’t find the nuke…’

All you have to do is cut off the guy’s entire body.

Thinking like that, Hyunseong swung Seol-ah.

Kwagagagagagagagagang!!!!

A space that undulates along that trajectory.

The distorted space tore through the entire body of the rock flame snake as if it were roaring.

A guy standing tall while taking his own attacks.

Knock, knock.

The lava flowing from the carved rock looked like the guy’s blood.

After a while,

Kuung!

The rock that formed the Flame Rock Snake collapsed.

A message that comes to mind at the same time.

[Level up.]

-Oh, you’re going up right after catching one. That’s a good start.

“What’s so good about it?”

It was such a struggle to catch just one.

I thought there had to be a difference between having a party and not having one, but it was more noticeable than I thought.

Seol-ah’s sword rang out in response to her complaint.

“The lizard was pretty good… but the volcano flower was like that too. Are most of the monsters here like this?”

-that’s right.

The monsters in the volcanic zone were bound to be disadvantageous to those who specialized in close combat.

They even use lava, which is dangerous even when it is just there, as a means of attack.

As a result, the level of comfort on the 5th floor changed depending on whether there was a long-range awakened character in the party or not.

-It’s hard to catch it alone, and up close.

“Tsk. It looks like I’ll be having a hard time for a while.”

-Just for your information, isn’t it incredible that it’s just gotten to the point where you’re having a hard time?

The way Hyunseong fought monsters was extremely heterogeneous.

Even if you are an Awakened Person, it would be normal to understand the attributes and characteristics of the monster you are fighting and attack its weaknesses.

However, Hyunseong was suppressing monsters with only his attributes, skills, and abilities.

“…okay?”

When I heard it, it sounded plausible.

I thought that every time the Awakened went on a raid, they would take something with them other than food.

Were they all items for fighting monsters?

-If you don’t want to suffer, you can start analyzing monsters and gathering their attributes now.

“That’s… a bit annoying.”

To be honest, I wasn’t confident in anything other than fighting.

“I’ll do it if it’s really necessary, but there aren’t many cases like that.”

Even when I was in the martial arts world, Ma Cheon-gang would take care of such trivial matters.

I almost feel like my talents are focused on practical matters.

-That’s ridiculous.

They say that the driving force behind human progress is longing and ecstasy.

I never thought there would be a guy who raised his skills because he was too lazy to use different methods for each opponent he fought.

-Even though you came to this world, I don’t think you’ve learned magic.

“Oh, I think so too.”

I knew that magic was more convenient and versatile than martial arts, but it didn’t suit me.

If he had learned magic instead of martial arts, he would have only become a so-so level magician.

“Well, I guess it’s fortunate that I got some experience points for my hard work.”

-Actually, your level is too low to hunt here, so you’ll probably go up right away.

“Don’t force me to take the red pill.”

Hyunseong bickers with Seol-ah and goes out to find the next monster.

None of the monsters I’ve encountered since then have been easy.

A half-giant made of lava with only an upper body.

Giant squid living in lava, etc.

They were all difficult to deal with.

and,

“Kyuu…”

“I finally caught it.”

This time the rabbit we fought was a fairly large one.

I fought it thinking it wouldn’t be that strong since it didn’t have a huge body compared to other monsters and it looked gentle, but guess what?

Of all the monsters we’ve encountered on the 5th floor so far, this one was the most difficult to fight against.

-The volcano rabbit may look cute, but it is the top predator in this ecosystem…

“okay?”

-This guy’s stock is lava and rock. He drinks lava like water and eats rocks. And, many of these volcanic zone monsters are made of lava and rock.

“…Eating monsters?”

-uh.

“He looks cute, but he’s actually quite an amazing guy.”

-Everyone said that.

“I never thought that the first lizard I met would be the easiest to deal with.”

When I first met him, I thought he was a strange guy, but there was no one like him.

A message comes to mind as I sigh softly.

[Level up.]

“Oh, finally.”

I was amazed when I saw the translucent window appear before my eyes.
