Monster Heavenly King - Chapter 145



Only Noblemtl

145. Cheonhodae (2)

Ta-da-da-dak!

Papat!

The Cheonhodae move in unison and close the encirclement in an instant.

Then the four people who were in the innermost part rushed in.

It swung towards me with a sharp sound that cut through the wind, back and forth, left and right.

Chae-Ang!

A sound that rings out almost simultaneously.

In a short moment that didn’t even take a breath, Hyunseong was able to block all the attacks coming at him.

Those guys whose posture collapsed due to the backlash.

I tried to chase after him right away.

“Tsk.”

They had no choice but to retreat because of other Cheonho-dae who came in after them.

If we were to attack here, we would have no choice but to allow other guys to attack us.

Because my stamina and health were low, even a single attack could be dangerous.

-Can’t we just attack the guy who’s the axis like last time?

‘Do you think it’s easy?’

The reason he was able to easily destroy the Black Wolf’s formation was because he was very familiar with the Black Wolf Sword Technique and Black Wind Formation.

However, the Cheonhodo used by Cheonhodae was different.

‘It wasn’t me who destroyed Cheonhodae, it was someone else who destroyed it.’

That’s why I’m basically a layman when it comes to Cheonho Island.

There are probably only a few people in the history of martial arts who can see the weaknesses of an enemy’s martial arts at a glance without knowing anything about it.

‘And I’m not one of those few.’

-Then you are an ordinary person who was not born when those people were around.

‘No, I’ve reached the level of a thousand horse, but for an ordinary person…’

-Kim, block the attack.

Kaang!

Even while talking with Seol-ah, the attacks continued without pause.

Hyunseong’s crimson eyes, which were blocking everything, scanned the surroundings.

but,

‘I still don’t know.’

It was difficult to know exactly who was the axis.

-How about just attacking the guy who’s the most vulnerable? Like that guy.

Seol-ah pointed out one of the Cheonho members who had the lowest attack frequency.

Since they are the pivotal people, they probably think they are in the safest place.

However, Hyunseong slightly shook his skull from side to side.

‘Maybe that’s a trap?’

-okay?

Because the location was the most suitable place for Cheonho-dae to attack.

The moment he got there to attack the guy, it was clear that he would be attacked by an attack unlike any he had ever seen before.

‘They make it look like an axis and lead the opponent towards it.’

This would have been impossible without an eye for martial arts, but the thought crossed his mind that Seol-ah had managed to figure it out.

I wonder if my eye for things has developed as I’ve been hanging out with him.

but,

‘If I could just see through their weaknesses with my keen eye, they wouldn’t have been called passers-by.’

-Right. Then what are you going to do?

‘What should I do?’

If we can’t figure out the axis, isn’t there only one way left?

‘I have no choice but to beat them all up and destroy them.’

There is no choice but to attack head on.

The idea was to deal with all the guys until they couldn’t spread their wings anymore.

The most primitive and sure method.

“hmm?”

Cheonho Daeju expressed his bewilderment at the subtle change in Hyunseong’s demeanor.

I could tell something was different, but I couldn’t figure out anything more than that.

And the Cheonho members rush to such a Hyunseong.

At that moment, I got goosebumps all over my body.

At the same time, he opens his mouth urgently,

“Everyone bleeds!”

Quagagagagagaga!

A storm rages before you can even finish speaking.

The fierce storm engulfed the Cheonhodae soldiers who were preparing to pass the test.

“Kkaaaak!”

“My arm! My arm!”

“Hey, save me!”

All kinds of screams coming from the storm.

In an instant, it became a mess.

Cheonho Daeju looked at the tragedy before his eyes with a dumbfounded expression.

‘What is this…’

All of the Cheonho members here are Awakened who have passed the 5th floor and are attacking the 6th floor.

Just the fact that I’ve been up to the 6th floor is enough to make me proud that I can’t be beaten anywhere, but I never imagined that they would be hit in one blow, and in groups like this.

Even if you face the area boss on the 6th floor, the results won’t be this dire.

furthermore,

‘What was that just now?’

Is it just an illusion that space seems distorted in the raging storm?

Some people died without even being able to utter a single word from that blow.

As some of the passing members were cut off in one blow, the Cheonho members also became quite flustered and fear began to appear in their eyes.

“If you want to live, wake up! If you get scared here, you’ll be wiped out!”

The cries of the Thousand-Handed King followed before the fear spread to the surroundings.

The fear in the eyes of the Cheonho soldiers began to subside as the captain’s voice rang in their eardrums like a lion’s roar.

-Is it pretty good?

Seol-ah is amazed at the sight.

It was okay to yell at the men before they were consumed by fear, but the part where he told them to stay alert if they wanted to live was a good choice.

‘I’m saying that you didn’t go all the way to the 6th floor by just hitting the ground.’

If I had said something like, “I have to knock myself down somehow,” I would have been even more afraid.

Because of the fear of having to fight the being that destroyed them in one blow.

But now, the eyes of the Cheonho Corps members were filled with determination.

A look of determination to survive here no matter what.

Slurp.

Cheonho Daeju, who had been watching from behind, pulled out his sword.

At the same time, a slash flew towards him.

Cheonho-do (Heavenly Tiger Sword).

The slash of a heavenly tiger.

I couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration when I saw the attack.

“Since his pure physical strength far surpasses that of humans, even simple martial arts are quite threatening.”

Normally, it would only be a martial art to restrain, but when used by someone who was conquering the 6th floor, its power was as fierce as some secret technique of the final battle.

The fierce momentum of the attack seemed like it could easily tear off a person’s limbs.

Shhh!

Pfft!

Sword energy that collides with the sword and scatters into the air.

Cheonho Daeju was startled when he saw his attack return to nothing in an instant, but he quickly regained his composure.

‘As expected, it’s not at a level that would be on the 5th floor.’

The blow just now was like that, and the way he blocked his own attack this time was also like that.

The monsters on the 6th floor weren’t easy to defeat either.

‘then…!’

Cheonho Daeju rushes towards Hyeonseong with fierce momentum.

Cheonhodo (Heavenly Tiger Sword)

Fierce tiger breaks the ground

The guy who jumped high came down towards me.

Just thinking about the power of that martial arts, it would be difficult to stop it.

Hyunseong steps back with such thoughts.

However,

bang!

Kkwudduk!!

“Huh?!”

The ground split like a spider web around the spot where the guy landed.

The already powerful martial arts became even more powerful in the hands of the Awakened One, and the ground, which had become unstable due to frequent volcanic activity, shook even more violently.

Even Hyunseong couldn’t help but lose his balance due to that sudden and violent shaking.

“Now is the time!”

Cheonhodae knew it well, as they had been conquering Cheonhodaeju and the 5th floor for a long time.

That is why, realizing that now was the perfect opportunity, he rushed at Hyunseong with his eyes shining sharply as his posture wavered just a little.

“Tch!”

Hyunseong lifts Seol-ah up while clicking his tongue that isn’t even there.

Chae Jae-jaeng!! Kaang!

Kwak!

When you think you’ve blocked the path, a flying sword comes from the side, and when you think you’ve kicked away the sword, a nearby Cheonho-dae begins its attack.

The passing score of Cheonhodae, which had been maintained for a very short period of time, was quite fierce.

Cheonho Daeju was looking at Hyeonseong with sunken eyes.

‘What on earth is that skeleton?’

Even though he was completely caught off guard, Hyeonseong was able to block all attacks, and even his enemy, Cheonho Daeju, could not help but be impressed by his skills.

At first, I thought of them as just puppets controlled by the Dragon Dragon or the Heavenly Dragon.

However, seeing that they were capable of avoiding classics, such thoughts completely disappeared.

‘Was it made by the elders of the church?’

Cheonho Daeju was also well aware that all sorts of inhumane acts and experiments were taking place within the labyrinth, where one could evade the net of social law.

He doesn’t know, but there must be something from the Cheonmasingyo among them.

The thought crossed my mind that the skeleton before my eyes might be the result of such an experiment.

“Tsk.”

Hyunseong clicks his tongue while blocking the attacks that come in relentlessly.

They were better at filling each other’s gaps.

Since I wasted my turns just blocking attacks, I wasn’t even able to counterattack.

‘If we continue to block like this, the battle will only get longer.’

The longer time passes, the more you will be at a disadvantage.

So, this was the time to make a bold move.

A crimson glow shone from inside Hyunseong’s skull.

-What are you going to do?

‘There is a way to do everything.’

Hyunseong ran towards the guy with the lowest attack frequency, who looked like the axis that Seol-ah had mentioned.

A trap that appears to be the only open path amidst the torrent of attacks.

-What are you doing? You say it’s a trap?

Seol-ah lets out a voice of disbelief at the foolish action of running towards the trap on her own.

But even in the midst of all that, I had faith that there must be a reason for what Hyunseong was doing.

‘A trap is also a golden opportunity for the enemy, you know…’

It could be a golden opportunity for him as well.

As Hyunseong crawled into the trap, his eyes glowed coldly.

As if he couldn’t miss this golden opportunity.

At that moment, a tiny crack appeared in the line of passing that had not been disturbed at all until now.

And, there was no way Hyunseong would miss that tiny crack.

‘If the guys were in good shape, this wouldn’t have worked.’

The guys were feeling scared for themselves.

Seeing that the fortress did not collapse even after endless attacks, Cheonhodae could not help but become more anxious as time passed.

That is why I judged that there would be a very small gap the moment I entered the trap, and chose to jump into the trap myself.

-What if it failed?

‘If that were the case, it would just make things a little more difficult and we’d have to move on to Plan B.’

-By the way, what’s Plan B?

‘I’ll wait for the next opportunity.’

-So it was unplanned.

Seol-ah said it as if it was absurd, but Hyun-seong was confident in his strategy.

Because he blocked the attacks of Cheonho-dae and even used Cheonma Shingong and Cheon-gae-ji-seul (Heavenly Destruction of Earth Knees) to secretly pressure them.

I was convinced that with such pressure and being pushed into a corner, mistakes were bound to happen.

‘Especially these passing grades.’

I thought that, although it might be okay for an individual, in a group there would be at least one person who would make a mistake under pressure.

-Isn’t the plan too impromptu?

‘What can I do?’

Because he was neither a god nor was his intelligence that extraordinary compared to other people.

How can we consider each and every variable?

Even when I was in the martial arts world, there were times when even the smallest of variables ruined my plans, no matter how plausible they were.

‘Besides, since these kinds of impromptu plans are quite unexpected, they tend to work out well.’

My colleagues would sometimes try to discourage me, saying it was ridiculous, but when I actually tried it, it often worked out well.

Hyunseong raised his internal energy as he watched the countless number of Thousand Tigers rushing towards him.

And then, the moment Hyunseong stomps his feet.

BANG!!

A tremendous noise echoed throughout the area.
