Monster Heavenly King - Chapter 157



Only Noblemtl

157. Steel Guild (3)

“There are about five parties going to the 7th floor… How many parties are going to the 6th floor?”

“The 6th floor conquest party consists of ten teams in total.”

“Report the supplies request report and distribute it. Make sure to pack extras as well.”

“all right.”

The guild members begin to distribute supplies according to Steel’s words.

Hyunseong, who was looking at the sight, chattered his teeth.

“Looking at it this way, a large guild is a large guild.”

The number of people attacked was considerable.

The number of Awakened people conquering the 7th and 6th floors is close to a hundred.

It wasn’t called a large guild for nothing.

‘There were about ten large guilds in Korea?’

Since everyone knows the scale of the awakening, the level of the awakened ones will also be similar.

Looking at it this way, I think the number of awakened people on the 6th and 7th floors is quite a lot.

Then suddenly a question crosses my mind.

“Oh, right. I have a question.”

“What is it?”

“Do you know that person who is said to be the strongest Awakener in Korea?”

“Oh, that girl, Lee Soo-yeon?”

The dagger statue I saw in the labyrinth city.

I wondered what kind of person the owner was.

So who is the number one person in Korea?

“To be honest, I don’t know either. I’m not a member of a guild and I don’t appear at official events.”

“Huh? Really?”

As far as I can remember, he was very active in various activities and appeared on broadcast media a lot.

That was the reason why he vaguely remembered things even after returning from being in the martial arts world for 30 years.

“That was because reporters followed him around like stalkers, taking pictures and so he was often exposed to the media. But it seems like he himself didn’t really like it.”

I don’t think he really likes things that are considered the pride of Korea.

Rather, it seemed like he was feeling burdened.

“So I thought it would collapse if I made one wrong move, but an incident occurred soon after.”

“case?”

“I didn’t specify exactly which floor it was, but there was an incident where the party was wiped out.”

Kangcheol clicked his tongue as if he was displeased when he thought back to that time.

They say that Korea’s face has been smeared with food or something like that.

When I was on a roll, those who praised me more than anyone else started to bite me because of some not-so-funny mistake.

I did not betray humanity or break the law.

“It was just a failed attack.”

It may have been even more so at that time, when the world was fiercely competing over mazes.

It is said that human madness sometimes runs wild in incomprehensible directions, and that saying was absolutely true.

Kang Chul shrugged his shoulders and muttered in regret.

“It must have been difficult in many ways.”

The party members who had been with her were all wiped out, and everyone around her blamed it on her.

Even the criticism about the failed strategy that I didn’t have to hear originally.

Wouldn’t that have been a living hell?

“I contacted you several times to ask you to join our guild because you didn’t take any legal action despite my repeated complaints.”

The goal was to recruit the strongest Awakened person in Korea, but I also wanted to help them because it was so pitiful to watch.

However, Lee Soo-yeon rejected the offer to recruit.

Probably, in addition to the Steel Guild, there were scouting offers coming from both domestic and foreign sources.

But she rejected them all.

“Then, after about a month, I started working again, but as a solo artist.”

“You’re playing solo?”

“uh.”

Here, even Hyunseong couldn’t help but be a little surprised.

It’s not that solo play is impossible, since I’m doing it myself, but it’s true that it’s difficult in many ways.

“… I guess that could be the case since I lost a comrade.”

It could be that he chose not to save his companions at all because he did not want to feel that sense of loss again.

“But… I think I’ve gotten stronger since we were at the party.”

“If you want to play solo, you have to be stronger than when you’re in a party.”

“No, that’s not it.”

“?”

“It seems like the party we were attacking has become stronger.”

There were also Awakened players who played solo because the party didn’t fit.

They either go down one level lower than the floor they are originally targeting or don’t fight the boss.

That’s how it was, but she was different.

“There were also reports that he was able to defeat the 7th floor boss alone… I haven’t confirmed it, but there are also speculations that he went to the 8th floor or higher.”

“… It seems that the title of ‘Korea’s Strongest’ is not given for nothing.”

If he’s done it all by himself, then the title of strongest still holds true.

Steel shrugged and grumbled.

“Well, anyway, I don’t know much about that girl since she doesn’t do any other activities besides conquering mazes.”

While we were talking like that,

“It’s an attack!”

The voice of a member of the Steel Guild was heard.

At the same time, masked men jump out from nearby.

Kangcheol frowned when he saw it.

“This is fucking crazy.”

In this vast labyrinth, I’m attacked not once, but twice a day.

At this point, it would be reasonable to assume that someone was after them.

Kangcheol quickly grasped the situation and shouted.

“The 7th floor assault team will secure the supply and the 6th floor assault team will deal with the enemies!”

“yes!”

The members of the Steel Guild move in unison with the answer.

As expected, the Awakened ones who had reached the 6th floor were moving around quickly.

The assailants who made the attack were so weak that it made you wonder how they had the guts to do it.

Were these guys also tricked by the others into attacking?

At that moment, I thought so.

“Kuaaaah!”

A strange man suddenly screaming.

The skin revealed through the mask was seen turning red.

It wasn’t just one person, but most of the attackers were furrowing their brows in a state of shock.

“What are these? Did they taste good together?”

To someone who doesn’t know anything, it might seem like they’re just putting on a show.

However, Hyunseong knew what was happening to them.

‘Blood Demon Incarnation!’

When I realized that, I clenched my teeth in frustration.

“Everyone, be careful! That might be a bit dangerous!”

Hyunseong tells Kangcheol that even if he, a total stranger who isn’t even a guild member, speaks, he won’t listen.

Kangcheol wondered what it meant, but decided to give it a try, fooled by the urgent voice.

“Focus on defense! Don’t attack hastily! Observe the enemy’s condition!”

Most of the guild members went into a state of alert after hearing Kangcheol’s words, but not all of them did.

As I was coming up to the 6th floor, I had no intention of even being wary of my opponent, as I had learned something.

“What are you afraid of? What could these scumbags do that would even hurt you?”

While muttering like that, he tried to block the attackers’ attacks.

Break!

“uh?”

The weapon he was holding was instantly broken.

Could it be that he never expected that his own weapon would be broken so easily?

A look of bewilderment.

However, the mace the attacker was swinging showed no sign of stopping, and continued on.

Kwajik!

I smashed a guild member’s head.

A guy who died without even being able to utter a single word.

The other guild members were also shocked at the sight.

“This can’t be happening…”

“All at once?”

Coming up to the 6th floor meant that you had some skills among the many Awakened ones.

In particular, the Awakened one who just died was quite arrogant, but he was also quite skilled.

But no one could have predicted that it would end in such a vain way.

“Kill them all!”

As the rascal shouted loudly, perhaps gaining confidence from the blow he just struck, the other guys also rushed in as if they were in awe.

“Tsk, I told you to be careful.”

Hyunseong clicking his tongue when it doesn’t even exist.

Kangcheol frowned at the sight unfolding before his eyes.

“What are those?”

Watching them fight, they didn’t seem like very strong guys.

It’s questionable how we got to the 6th floor.

However, the guild members were unable to attack him rashly due to his incredibly strong body.

“Put the pressure down!”

The villain’s sword was swung with great force.

He found the gap and stabbed the window in.

Phew!

“Ugh?!”

“What!?”

A suffering villain and a surprised member of the Steel Guild.

He attacked with the intent of piercing the body, but all it did was pierce a little bit of the skin.

Not only attack power, but also outrageous defense power.

It was not an easy opponent.

‘Step back for now…’

Let’s see another chance to attack.

As I was thinking that and trying to distance myself, the stranger let out an ominous laugh.

“Hehehe.”

“Why are you laughing?”

Now the situation is turning in his favor.

The villain opened his mouth, continuing to laugh at those words.

“It’s because of this! [Blood explosion]!”

With a shout,

Kwakwakwakwang!

Suddenly the weapon exploded.

To be exact, it’s the blood that’s stuck to the weapon.

Kwajik! Pachin!

An explosion right in front of you.

The explosion shattered the weapon, sending it flying towards the Awakened.

No matter how elite they were, they couldn’t avoid all the debris exploding right in front of them.

“Kuaaaak!?”

“Ahh!”

“Coolook?!”

The battlefield turned into chaos in an instant.

While most of the Steel Guild members who had been fighting the raiders had fallen, the wounds of the raiders were gradually healing.

Kangcheol gritted his teeth and muttered at the sight.

“Are you using blood as a weapon?”

In a way I never expected.

If he had not known anything, he would have been subject to it too.

“Do you know what those guys are?”

“More or less. I’ve met him before. But this is the first time I’ve seen him bleed.”

“Whew, I guess we need to talk about this.”

There were many things I wanted to ask, but there was something else I had to do first.

“Let me help you for now.”

“Thank you, but… is there a countermeasure?”

“There is a simple way.”

Hyunseong draws his sword.

Then, the attackers looked at Hyeonseong with a puzzled expression.

“That guy is someone who wasn’t in the information?”

“I don’t know, just kill him!”

Guys who stab their own palms with weapons while shouting.

And when he stretched out his hand, blood spurted out towards Hyunseong and Kangcheol.

“[Blood pressure…]”

Before I could even cast the skill, I swung my sword, and a gust of wind rose, pushing the blood away.

Blood that gathers in one place rather than scattering in all directions.

“What, what is this?!”

While he was bewildered by the strange phenomenon unfolding before his eyes, Hyunseong moved as if he didn’t have time to wait.

A figure that disappeared from sight in an instant.

Crunch!

“Whoa?!”

Chomp!

“what…?!”

I couldn’t see anything, but the bad guys started falling down one by one.

If I continue like this, I’ll just collapse without being able to do anything.

He swung his sword with a scream.

“Kuaaaah!”

A red aura that seemed to be soaked in blood spread out in all directions.

Chomp!

Hyunseong paused for a moment to stop it.

The villain’s eyes sparkled as he saw the figure revealed again.

‘There must have been blood on you from taking down other guys.’

If you blow it up, even if you are a genius, you won’t be able to avoid it.

In the worst case scenario, you could just break the weapon.

With that thought in mind, I cast the skill.

“[Blood explosion]!”

However, even though the skill was cast, there was no sign of an explosion occurring from Hyunseong.

I was wondering what was going on, and then suddenly Hyunseong’s face caught my eye.

‘There’s… no blood?’

Not even a single drop of blood was on the long robe that Hyunseong was wielding, let alone the sword that covered his entire body.

How can that be, when there’s blood all around?

Hyunseong opened his mouth toward Kangcheol, ignoring the reactions of those attackers.

“If you attack this quickly, you can kill him without spilling a single drop of blood. How is it? It’s easy.”

“… … ”

Kangcheol looked at Hyunseong and thought that this guy might be the craziest guy here.
