Monster Heavenly King - Chapter 181



Only Noblemtl

181. Elf Ruins (4)

When Ilno swung his sword, it felt like space was bending.

However, it is different from the way you carve out space.

No matter how wise he was, he could not figure out how the Changgungmuae Sword Technique, which represents the Namgung Se-ga, could be made possible by such a technique.

Shhh!

As the angle of the sword that was flying in a straight line changed slightly, the slash slashed in in a graceful curve.

Dark energy coming from a different direction than what is visible.

Kaang!

Let’s block the blow, and the immediate follow-up is a separation.

Until the smooth, connected triangle.

In the blink of an eye, a dizzying array of attacks took place.

‘It’s pretty good, isn’t it?’

-Didn’t you say it wasn’t that great earlier?

‘That’s just a story about the level these guys have reached, and their fundamentals are solid, so it’ll be difficult to subdue them in one breath.’

It’s like how even the best Go player can’t defeat their opponent with just one move.

Hyunseong looked at the steel behind him.

“You look bored. Do you want to take care of one of Inona and Samno?”

“… Ino, Samno?”

“Namgung Samno? Then it’s Ilno, Ino, and Samno.”

As I pointed to the old men behind me one by one, Kangcheol and the guys all looked dumbfounded.

Because they never thought that someone would call them that.

Ilno’s expression turned red and blue as he shouted, looking very angry.

“You bastard, how dare you call the elder of the great Namgung family like that! Do you think we are a bunch of Sapa?”

“Oh, what? He was your elder?”

I thought they were just some old guys from the back room coming out to do some dirty work, but who would have thought they were elders?

-Isn’t that what an elder is, meddling here and there, nagging and making a fuss?

‘… Is that so?’

Come to think of it, it seems like most of the elders I’ve seen were like that.

Although it was not intentional, Hyunseong’s provocation seemed to have worked, as the two old men behind him also pulled out their swords with angry expressions.

“I’ll crush that skull in one breath!”

Three elders looking at him with hostile gazes.

Steel looked at it and shrugged.

“I guess it’s not my place to interfere.”

“No, really?”

“In the martial arts world, they say you shouldn’t meddle in other people’s favors. That’s a good saying.”

“Then you’re just going to watch?”

“That’s not it.”

Steel pointing somewhere with his chin.

Looking in that direction, there were the elite soldiers of the Namgung Sega family fighting against the Shinsoo.

“I’ll join them and help Shinsoo.”

Although the Shinsoo was resisting fiercely, it seemed like they were being pushed back little by little as the elite of the Namgung family joined forces to attack.

If Shinsoo falls, it will be a headache in many ways, so it would be better for Kangcheol to join them.

“Haa, I can’t help it.”

He had no choice but to deal with all the old men of the Namgung family.

Hyunseong looked at Namgung Samno, who was radiating a fearsome aura as if he was going to rush toward him at any moment.

and,

“Come and see.”

That brief moment when your teeth chatter.

Namgung Samno’s figure disappeared.

slam.

A huge slab of ice that tilts slightly and shakes due to the recoil.

However, the enemy slid close to Hyeonseong as if he had no time to even feel such shaking.

Kaang!

Boom! Bam!

Attacks coming from all directions in an instant.

Not only did it block the escape route by surrounding all directions, but it also dug in at almost the same moment.

‘This is not the time to be leisurely.’

I had to go at full speed in one breath.

As I generated magic, Purungi reacted and wrapped around my bones.

“That’s…”

“Interesting stuff.”

When Namgung Samno saw Purungi, his eyes sparkled with desire.

I couldn’t help but sigh at the more blatant gaze I had ever seen from anyone.

I had no intention of saying anything about being consumed by desire.

However, it is just pathetic that those who have dedicated their entire lives to practicing martial arts cannot hide their true feelings and show them as they are.

“Go.”

Hyunseong muttered softly as if he didn’t want to talk anymore and stepped on the ice.

Kuung!

Tsk tsk tsk!!

A huge, thick sheet of ice shattered into pieces and rippled in the waves.

Samno laughs when he realizes what Hyunseong is aiming for.

“Ugh, there’s no use breaking the ice. Just freeze it again.”

Shhh!

A gust of wind that passes by without saying a word.

And then, a groan of pain was heard from behind.

“Coolook…?”

An awakened person spitting blood from his mouth without even knowing English.

He had an expression on his face like he didn’t even know how he had been treated.

And that Awakened One was the one who turned part of this huge lake into an ice rink.

“What if I just leave it like that?!”

“No, I didn’t see that at all just now!”

Samno’s voice was filled with confusion.

The fallen Awakened One is an Awakened One with the characteristics of the skills [Freezing] and [Area of ​​Effect].

They were even more concerned about safety, as if the guy died, it would mean losing their foothold.

I was preparing for the idea that either Hyunseong or Kangcheol would target him.

However, he didn’t even realize that Hyunseong’s sword had passed through him.

‘if…’

What if that wind-like black energy was targeting me?

Wouldn’t he have just had his throat cut without knowing anything?

The thought of it sent shivers down my spine.

but,

“Watch out! He’s using an unknown number!”

It seemed as if he did not recognize that it was something of a higher realm than himself.

I just think of myself as part of a system that I don’t even know about.

Samno’s advice made Ilno and Ino more vigilant.

Because of that feeling, I’ve been able to avoid several dangerous moments so far.

‘There’s no harm in being careful.’

Three old men aim their swords at Hyeonseong while muttering to themselves.

Hyunseong muttered to himself, his jaw clicking at the ridiculous sight.

“If I could have avoided it by being careful, half of the people who didn’t die by my hand would have been reduced.”

Because Cheonma wasn’t a being that could be controlled by being careful.

The tip of Hyunseong’s sword moved.

A sword that is neither slow nor fast.

“…?”

Ino couldn’t help but question it.

Do they really think that they will be attacked by such insignificant attacks, which don’t even look like they are practicing archery, but are just sword swings?

“Huh, this much should be destroyed from the front…”

“Danger-”

Boom!

Ino tried to block the sword before anyone else could stop her.

However, the results were disastrous.

His new form flies away as if caught in an explosion.

Although it landed safely on the split ice,

“Cough… Cool.”

A handful of bright red blood was flowing out from his mouth.

The limbs looked fine, but there was evidence that the inside was already a mess.

One blow.

I just fought back and this is what happened.

What on earth have you done?

“You…! What kind of sorcery did you use!”

“Oh, it’s been a long time since I’ve heard that.”

When I was living in the martial arts world, I heard about it like it was nothing.

Whether it’s the Jeongpa, Sapa, or Cheonmasingyo.

‘The political faction was particularly bad.’

If you show them something that is beyond their understanding, they will accuse you of witchcraft.

The funny thing is that when he briefly hid his identity and performed the same technique, he praised it as being miraculous.

-Well, Naeronambul has a long history and tradition.

It just seemed like people would change their words like turning over the palm of their hand.

Hyunseong sighed and said, “The two remaining Namgungsamnos.

I looked at Ilno and Samno.

“Okay, who’s next?”

“What on earth is that?”

“Oh, you mean this? It’s called Purung.”

“Purungi?”

“I guess in other worlds, they are also called God’s Tears.”

“That’s the source of your strength…!”

Ilno made a face that said, “Then that’s how it is.”

Are you sure that a skeleton like that can’t be this strong?

A guy who opens his mouth before Hyunseong can say anything.

“You became stronger by borrowing the power of objects. Don’t you have any conscience as a martial artist?”

“Oh my.”

Who was the guy I was looking at with sparkling eyes just a moment ago?

“Let’s take off that tear of God and compete fairly!”

“Even dog barking is top-notch.”

The reason I wore Purungi was to reach a quick conclusion, not because it would have been difficult to beat them without Purungi.

Besides, what’s wrong with using the gear you’ve acquired?

Even though he’s wrapped up in equipment that looks expensive at first glance.

It was a typical dirty political faction that tried to find such an absurd excuse when things got worse.

“It’s so obvious, I can’t watch it anymore. Let’s end it.”

Hyunseong ignored Ilno’s words and lifted Seol-ah up.

Kaang! Kiing!

Countless sparks flying in the air.

Hyunseong slowly cornered Ilno and Samno like a hunter cornering his prey.

“Ugh, don’t fight cowardly, fight fair and square…”

“If you are at a disadvantage, you are cowardly, and if I am at a disadvantage, you are upright? Your Majesty the Great Namgung has become quite ugly.”

The Namgung Se-ga guys I met in the past had their own sense of pride.

But, I didn’t know that these elders couldn’t even do that.

Before martial arts, my mind was withered.

“Ugh?!”

“Cheek!”

Two old men who are finding it increasingly difficult to stop it.

Inside the skull of the man who had driven them in, dark red eyes gleamed.

“It’s the end.”

Heavenly Demon Sword Technique

Cheonun Gwanhyeol (Heavenly Cloud Penetration Point)

Break.

A short, short, cracking sound.

The guy looked down at his sword, his eyes wide open as if he couldn’t believe the reality before his eyes.

A sword of Ilno that pierces cleanly without breaking.

The thrust, without any waste, went straight through the sword without breaking it.

“Crap…!”

I wanted to say something, but my throat was pierced and blood just flowed back.

Ilno closed his eyes and died without saying a word.

“Oh, this can’t be happening…”

Who would have thought that they, the elders who supported the Namgung family and were called Namgung Samno, would be treated so miserably?

Samno forced himself to suppress the trembling of his whole body.

‘If this continues, I’ll die.’

That’s why I had to find a way out somehow.

The method he found by turning his head violently was…

“Everyone, attack that skeleton!”

It was the elite force of the Namgung family.

They should be able to tie down even that skeleton.

He could have taken advantage of the gap and escaped.

I was thinking that way, but for some reason, no sign of anything was coming.

Samno looks back in frustration.

“Eight, why aren’t you listening to my orders…”

I tried to get angry, but I couldn’t finish speaking because of the sight unfolding before my eyes.

Pieces of ice floating on the lake, broken off.

Because I saw several corpses in between.

And most of those corpses were wearing Namgung Se-ga’s military uniform.

“T, how is this…”

They say that Steel went there, but I can’t believe he caught them all in this short time.

It was impossible.

At that moment, I thought so.

Swish.

A low cry struck my eardrums and sent goosebumps down my spine.

If you think about it, there was another enemy besides steel.

A guy I didn’t even care about because I thought he was a monster.

When he turned his gaze, he saw huge golden eyes looking at him.

I knew it the moment I saw it.

“Ah, ahh…”

That this place was his grave.

A huge mouth that opens wide with a bang.

And then, Samno was swallowed into the cave-like mouth of the god without being able to offer any resistance.
