Monster Heavenly King - Chapter 146



Only Noblemtl

146. Cheonhodae (3)

A flash of light that shoots out without even leaving an afterimage.

The one he’s aiming for is the Cheonho Corps member who’s trying to attack him first.

The guy who ran towards me with bloodshot eyes as if he couldn’t miss this opportunity had already left his position.

“…?!”

He must not have thought that Hyunseong, who had fallen into the trap, would attack him, so he desperately tried to block the attack by raising his sword.

Kak!

Seol-ah and Do-ga collide and sparks fly.

Hyunseong naturally deflected Cheonho Daewon’s attack and passed by him.

and,

“Ugh…”

The Cheonhodaewon just collapses.

He was unable to do anything as the attacks continued naturally like flowing water, and he just collapsed.

The list of successful candidates has become unstable due to the vacant positions.

One of the Cheonho members, who felt that it would be difficult to properly pass in this state, tried to fill the position.

“It’s already too late.”

Filling that spot in real time during combat was never an easy task.

Like a dam breaking in a small hole, the collapse that started with one death grew uncontrollably large.

And then, the passing grades were not in their proper form.

Hyunseong rolled his feet again.

Boom!

A shockwave spreads as it collides with the red ground, which is nothing but bones.

It was so hard to even control my body properly.

furthermore,

Hurrruk!

Hwaaaaak!

The lava that had been dormant in the ground began to seep out.

The lava that had formed a hole continued to flow out, filling in the gaps between the fragmented land and making the ground unstable.

“This crazy monster…!”

It felt like I was balancing on a log in the water.

The problem was that it wasn’t water, it was lava.

In this situation, it was difficult for me to demonstrate my skills.

“Aim for the part with land!”

“In this state, that guy won’t be able to use great techniques or move properly!”

Someone shouted confidently, but unfortunately the expectation was wrong.

Because he had already fought in an even harsher environment than this when he fought the volcanic flower.

Hyunseong takes a step forward towards the lava as if to say, “Look.”

“… What?!”

“What is that…”

Cheonho members open their mouths as they look at Hyeonseong, who is naturally walking on lava.

Walking on lava was a whole different story from walking on water.

If you try to walk on lava using your water meter, your feet will melt first.

“Okay, let’s organize it all at once!”

Seol-ah, who draws circles with her waving hands.

Then, a huge circular explosion occurred centered around Hyeonseong.

Boom!!

Shards of lava and shattered earth flying in all directions with a tremendous noise.

“Blood, damage!”

“Whoa?!”

Hundreds and thousands of lava pieces and high-speed flying rocks struck Cheonhodae without mercy.

Those guys fall down in an instant.

“This skeleton bastard…!”

Cheonho Daeju gritted his teeth as he watched his men fall helplessly.

However, this was not because the members were weak.

The skeleton is just unusually strong.

Ta-da-da-dak!

His new form shot forward like a whirlwind.

Cheonho Daeju, who steps on the small stones between the lava and quickly enters the battlefield.

Cheonhodo (Heavenly Tiger Sword)

Heavenly wind

Kwaaaa …

A strong wind swept away all the flying lava and rocks.

At the appearance of Daeju, crimson eyes turned towards him.

Cheonho Daeju took a stance without saying anything.

‘Just looking at it gives me goosebumps.’

I never thought the day would come when I would feel this way about a skeleton.

It felt like I was facing a god of death rather than the weakest skeleton.

“Turn the power on.”

“Oh, my lord!”

“Today, we will defeat this skeleton here.”

The reason they weren’t completely destroyed despite the overwhelming difference in skill was because Hyunseong had a skeleton body.

If I could break even one of those arm or leg bones, the tide would turn in my favor.

“If we can’t use even a single bone, we can win! Target the arms and legs from a distance!”

At Daeju’s words, the Cheonho Corps members made up their minds to die.

It starts with an attack on Cheonhodaeju.

As he drew a horizontal line, the lava exploded and turned into a wave that tried to swallow him up.

Kuung!

Knock knock!

As Hyunseong rolled his feet on the lava, it rippled and crashed into the water like waves.

The moment the wave of lava dissipates, Hyeonseong approaches in an instant.

Heavenly Demon Sword Technique.

New Moon Slash.

The thin, thin thread tried to cut off Cheonho Daeju’s neck in one breath.

Kaang!

“Huh?”

The guy stopped it.

That too, quite easily.

I thought this would be enough after seeing the level of the Cheonho Daewon, but it seems I misjudged the ability of the Cheonho Daeju.

‘then…’

Heavenly Demon Sword Technique.

Thunder shadow.

Bang!!!

The sounds of dozens of workshops overlapped.

The attacks continued after that.

At first, he was able to block it well, but as time passed, bruises began to appear here and there on Cheonhodaeju’s body.

“Ugh…!”

He is pouring attacks on himself and even suppressing the efforts of the Cheonho Corps members.

A skill that is almost magical.

What if the skeleton in front of me had a proper body?

As an unmanned being, I hoped that it wouldn’t be the case since we met as enemies, but my curiosity as an unmanned being raised my head to see it once.

‘What the heck is this skeleton…’

What is the identity?

It was impossible for a monster that was not only strong, but also learned martial arts to this extent.

It had not even been 10 years since the Labyrinth appeared, so it was by no means a skill that could be built up in a short period of time.

‘No, let’s not think about useless things.’

Even if you think about it, it’s not a problem that has an answer.

He had met a master, not a monster.

Well then, it’s time to experiment to see how far your teeth can reach.

Cheonho Daeju quickly distanced himself and focused his attention.

Cheonhodo (Heavenly Tiger Sword)

Cheonmuho (Heavenly Dancing Tiger)

The Tao he held in his hand branched out into dozens and hundreds of branches.

“He’s a minister.”

Hyunseong is amazed at the herbivore displayed by Cheonho Daeju.

When I looked at the herbivore, it was as if a tiger was jumping in the sky.

Just looking at this, it seemed like you could tell how hard Cheonho Daeju had worked on his first meal.

‘Then shall I respond accordingly?’

Hyunseong lifted Seol-ah up while looking at Cheonho, who was playing in the sky and gradually approaching him.

Heavenly Demon Sword Technique

Cheonun Gwanhyeol (Heavenly Cloud Penetration Point)

Shhh!

Boom!

A shock wave that occurred because it was concise but so fast.

The Heavenly Tiger and Great Lord’s path that had been falling down from the sky were shattered.

and,

“Coolook.”

Cheonho Daeju was unable to completely block the attack and was left with a wound that penetrated his body.

A handful of blood flowing back from the mouth.

However, Cheonho Daeju was looking at his own broken Tao more than that.

‘It’s broken.’

This is the Tao that has been with him not only on the 5th floor but also on the 6th floor.

This was his own defeat, without any excuse.

A person of such great skill that even this physical difference cannot make up for it.

Eventually, Cheonho Daeju could not contain his curiosity and asked Hyeonseong.

“May I ask about the identity of the deceased?”

“Cheonma.”

Cheon Ho-dae-ju opened his eyes wide without even thinking about wiping the blood flowing from the corner of his mouth at Hyun-seong’s short words.

But soon, his expression changed to one of understanding.

“…! If that’s true, then there’s nothing I can do.”

If it was Cheonma, then his absurd skills and even his own defeat were understandable.

There were many things I was curious about, starting with why it was a skeleton, but I couldn’t keep my eyelids down any longer.

Even as he was dying, he opened his mouth to Hyunseong.

“I will consider it an honor to have served the Heavenly Demon.”

Cheonho Daeju collapses while saying that.

Hyunseong caught his body before it was buried in the lava and placed it on a nearby rock.

“Oh, my lord…”

As if they had never thought that the great master they had trusted would suffer, a commotion spread through Cheonhodae.

The shock must have been considerable, considering that he was the leader who had guided him to the 6th floor of the labyrinth.

He clenched his teeth against the Cheonhodae.

“Take the body.”

-What are you sending me?

“What’s the use of catching guys who don’t even have the will to fight?”

I had no interest in bullying the weak.

Even when I was in the martial arts world, if I surrendered, most people would spare my life.

‘But I made him pay the price later.’

One of the Cheonho soldiers approached him hesitantly and carefully lifted Daeju’s body.

It took a long time for him to get away because he was constantly on guard, worried that he might change his mind and attack.

After all the Cheonhodae disappeared.

“Okay, then let’s go to the 6th floor.”

Hyunseong, who was thinking that and about to head towards the portal, stopped.

Because where the portal should be, there was nothing.

“What, where did the portal go?”

-Where are you going? You disappeared while you were fighting.

“… … ”

-For your information, there are no portals within my detection range nearby.

“What the heck.”

Eventually, Hyunseong had no choice but to move elsewhere to find a new portal.

* * *

Cheonho-dae, carrying Cheonho-dae-ju’s body, headed downstairs to escape the labyrinth.

Not only was the supply cut off, but Cheonhodae was also destroyed and the main pillar was lost, so going to the 6th floor now seemed like a future where everything would be destroyed.

So I came down from the 5th floor and continued heading to the 1st floor.

“Oh my? Aren’t you guys from Cheonhodae?”

A voice that recognizes them.

When I looked over there, there was a woman dressed up in fancy attire.

Cheonho Daewon knew very well who she was.

“Aren’t you the Lord of Heaven? Why are you on the 4th floor…”

Cheonhwadae must have been conquering the 6th floor like them.

Cheonhwadaeju frowned at the question.

“Do I have to report everything to you?”

“…sorry.”

“I went out for some business at school.”

“… … ”

“I thought there was a teacher nearby, so I came to check, and it was you guys. But… you look a bit odd.”

She glanced over him intently.

There wasn’t a single person without injuries here and there, and the equipment was a mess.

Even to put it simply, it wasn’t a very good situation.

furthermore,

“Where did Cheonhodaeju go?”

Since Cheonhodae was always hanging out together, Cheonhodaeju should have been there too, but he was nowhere to be seen.

She noticed something strange and looked closely at Cheonho-dae’s expression.

And then, he opened his eyes wide when he discovered the corpse of Cheonho Daeju, who had turned into a cold corpse.

“No way… he’s dead?”

She asks, seeming embarrassed.

It was natural for a martial artist to live with one foot in the door of death, but who would have thought that they would all die overnight, having been rivals until recently?

“Is there a monster that strong on the 6th floor?”

“no.”

“then?”

“It’s because of the skeleton I met on the 5th floor.”

“…her?”

A foolish voice flowed from her mouth.

The word 5th floor was out of the blue, but what on earth does skeleton mean?

Unable to contain her curiosity, she examined Cheonhodaeju’s body.

Because corpses contain more information than you might think.

You can also see what kind of attacks your opponent is using.

“……huh?”

The foolish voice flowing out of her mouth again.

But, somehow, Cheonho Daeju’s wounds felt familiar.

Where have I seen this before?

She thought quietly for a while, then realized something and her face turned pale.

‘This is… the Heavenly Demon Art!’
