Monster Heavenly King - Chapter 26

26. Sealed Sword

Awakened Community.

A strange post was uploaded to this community that is always sloppy.

[Title: Hey, my friend said he met a homeless person on the second floor.]

[Author: Friend Story]

[Content: Some strange skeleton and goblin came and saved me.]

-2nd floor? Not the 3rd floor?

Yeah, on the second floor.

Are these kids trying to expand their area of ​​activity?

-Your friend must have had a big bowl of weak soup.

-What goblin and skeleton? Aren’t you an Awakened?

-Tsk tsk I don’t even know what kind of monster will appear on the second floor lol

-How did you sign up here?

-Administrator, aren’t you managing the community?

As the content was so absurd, most of the Awakened people did not believe it and were only met with criticism.

[Title: No, this second floor vagrant story is real.]

[Author: Where should I go?]

[Content: I asked someone I know in the Baekho Guild and it was true. They said they killed them all and took a skeleton, a goblin, and a sword?]

-The monster caught the Awakened and took the sword?

-I think it might be the case for humanoids, but I don’t know about other things, but skeletons are a bit…

-You were that guy just now, right? Don’t change your ID and start the Saminseongho operation.

All the skeletons they had seen so far were nothing more than selfless puppets.

It’s a monster that I don’t even pay attention to now, but it’s amazing that a skeleton like that defeated an Awakened Person.

It was natural that it was hard to believe.

[Title: I’m the person who asked if you hunted on the first floor last time]

[Author: Awakened Awakener]

[Content: I helped my younger sibling and came to the 2nd floor, but there are traces of hunting monsters on the 2nd floor, but I didn’t take any items. Is this the same person?]

-It looks like the skeleton and goblin in the post above lol

-Well, if it’s a monster, there’s no reason to collect items.

-No, how are they on the second floor?

-I guess the system has awakened lol

At a time when most Awakened people were only jokingly mentioning it, an article was posted by an Awakened person claiming to be from the White Tiger Guild.

[Title: This is the Baekho Guild. Photo verification.]

[Author: Baekko Baekko]

[Content: Photo.jpg]

A photo of the situation at the time was also uploaded.

The uploaded photo actually showed skeletons and goblins fighting vagabonds.

Then everyone, including you, was shocked.

-How did they get there?

-Didn’t it flow to the second floor during the recent arena escape incident?

-Even if it could be a coincidence, doesn’t it seem a bit odd that he would have beaten up a homeless person?

As the vagabonds were also awakened, there were some quite strong vagabonds.

Especially, the vagrants who are wanted are so wanted that even high-level Awakened players have to risk their lives.

But, it’s a shame that such a vagabond was attacked by the weakest of the monsters, the skeleton and the goblin.

It was no wonder people were shocked.

-Looking at the equipment of the hobo leader, it looks like he’s from the 3rd floor.

-That guy got attacked by a skeleton?

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋ If this is true, how am I going to live as a homeless person in the future? I’m losing to skeletons and goblins.

-It’s really pitiful lol

-Please tell me I’m joking that there are Awakened beings weaker than Skeletons!

-You must have already lost it.

-Isn’t this a composite?

ㄴIt seems like they’re even compositing it now. Look how many people already believe it, lol

While various comments were being made and posted in the community, a man was looking at a photo posted on the community through his smartphone.

He stared at the skeleton in the photo and muttered to himself.

“Did you go to the second floor?”

A man who has been looking for the skeleton in the photo for some time.

He was the Black Wolf Lord, Sagonghyeon, an Awakened member of the Cheonmasingyo, who had been tracking down Hyeonseong since the incident at the arena.

He muttered with a small sigh.

“There’s no way you’ll find it even if you look for it in the Labyrinth City.”

I had thought it was hiding somewhere in the labyrinth city, but my predictions were surprisingly wrong.

Sa-gong-hyeon quietly looked at Hyeon-seong in the photo.

“I really thought it was a skeleton.”

When I first saw the video, I suspected that it might be a welcome skill.

Even though his face was a skeleton, his entire body was covered in robes.

But, from the traces they have found so far to the photos discovered today.

At this point, it would be stranger not to believe that it was a skeleton.

“A skeleton that uses the martial arts of the Heavenly Demon Sect.”

What on earth is the identity?

I had no idea.

At first, I thought that maybe the dead Black Wolf member had come back to life as an undead, but it turned out that he knew about the Black Wolf Sword Technique that he didn’t know about.

He emptied the glass next to him and stood up.

“I guess I should go to the second floor.”

* * *

Hyunseong is sitting in a suitable place on the second floor and taking a rest.

I sat on the rock and stared at the sword I had obtained from the leader of the bandits.

Information about the sword appeared before Hyunseong’s eyes.

[Sealed Sword]

[Rank: Rare]

[Description: This is a sealed sword. Only those worthy of being its owner can break the seal.]

It seemed like he had hit the jackpot even bigger than he had expected.

It’s still usable as is, but I can’t believe it’s sealed.

I don’t know what kind of qualification it is, but I like the idea that I can grow further in the future.

“I just thought it was a useful sword.”

He flicked the sword blade lightly with his wrist bone.

A sword that produces a pleasant, teasing sound.

I would never have thought a homeless person would have something like this.

‘I guess he was planning to break the seal secretly without telling anyone.’

If you do it right, you could have hit the jackpot.

Actually, I thought about giving this to Brin.

However, after careful consideration, Hyunseong decided to use it himself first.

‘Because you’ll become too dependent on the sword.’

The black swords that came out of the labyrinth, no, not only the swords, but all the equipment could be said to be quite fraudulent and beyond common sense.

What would happen if guys like lizardmen suddenly appeared in the martial arts world?

Without a system, it would be impossible to penetrate their thick hides unless you were a martial artist who had reached a level where you could handle swordsmanship.

However, this black sword alone is enough to cut down a lizardman.

‘If the performance is too good, you won’t feel the need for it.’

At first glance, you might think it’s an old-fashioned mindset, but there’s a reason for it.

If you can beat a lizardman without knowing how to use a sword, you won’t feel the need for a sword.

If that were to happen, it would be no different from missing the intermediate stage of enlightenment that leads to the unity of the body and the sword, where the sword is considered a part of one’s own body.

This chain reaction will even hinder future enlightenment.

‘As if the frame is weak and the tower cannot be built any further.’

It was the same principle that the existence of martial arts world gradually decreased as science developed.

Hyunseong clenched his teeth as if he had realized something.

“Ah, is it for a similar reason that the Awakened Ones’ magic control is so poor?”

All the Awakened people I’ve seen so far, regardless of whether they had martial arts or not, had poor magical power control.

Even though the leader of the vagrants went all the way to the third floor, wasn’t he able to properly create a single sword with his magic power?

It’s almost the same as the sword made by Brin, the boss of the first floor.

This was because it all depended on equipment, systems, and skills.

“I admit it’s comfortable, though.”

There was nothing I could do about the regret.

Hyunseong finished his thoughts and turned to his disciple who was swinging his sword on one side.

“How is the new black one? Do you like it?”

“Keruk.”

Brin seemed quite pleased with his new sword.

With that sword, you should have no problem dealing with monsters on at least the second floor.

Brin was looking at himself with sparkling eyes.

“then…”

“Okay, I got it, I got it, Inma.”

It was time to fulfill the promise I had made to appease Brin.

In fact, this recipe was originally intended to be taught to Brin.

The only reason I made the bet was to boost my motivation.

‘It’s only one or two vegetarian meals.’

Brin still had a lot to learn.

Cheonmasingong accompanies the history of Cheonmasingyo.

If we only look at the records, it’s been over a thousand years.

There were many martial arts techniques throughout the long years, but the one most used by the Heavenly Demons throughout history was the sword.

Accordingly, not only the Cheonma Shingong but also the Cheonma Sword Technique has been continuously developing.

By the so-called greatest geniuses of the time, the Cheonmas.

‘I know a lot of martial arts, but…’

Among them, the martial art that occupied his mind the most was definitely the Cheonma Sword Technique.

Hyunseong drew his sword.

I could have taught Brin the beginner’s phrase and had him guide me later, but I wanted to experiment with my newly acquired sealed sword, so I decided to try the beginner’s phrase myself.

“Look carefully.”

As soon as the words ended, the tip of Hyunseong’s sword began to move.

“Thunder shadow.”

A quick sword style that pushes the opponent forward at high speed.

“Cheonungwanhyeol (Heavenly Cloud Penetration Hole).”

A pointed sword style focused on stabbing.

“Heavenly Rain”

A flexible sword style that deflects the opponent’s attacks.

The sword of Hyunseong, which had spread out three swords, stopped.

Not all forensic methods are the same.

Although there were heavy swords and strong swords that focused on strength in the Cheonma Sword Technique, they did not suit Brin, so he chose this style after careful consideration.

While Hyunseong was teaching and memorizing the passage of the first draft to Brin, he examined the sword.

“It’s a better sword than I expected.”

When I swung the sword myself, I could clearly see how good a sword it was.

If this sword existed in the martial arts world, it would have been considered one of the most famous swords in the world.

I am so amazed,

-Huh, of course.

A voice that sounded like a tornado was heard from somewhere.

“… … ?”

I scratched the area next to my skull where my ear canal was, wondering if I had misheard.

however,

-what are you doing?

The voice is heard once again.

This time I heard it for sure.

It was never an auditory hallucination.

‘furthermore…’

It wasn’t a sound coming from outside.

A voice that seems to ring directly in your head, as if a system alarm is ringing.

However,

‘The system would never say something like that.’

Hyunseong looked around to find someone who had spoken to him.

However, all that was visible nearby was Brin, who was busy memorizing the passage he had taught her and spreading out his wings.

-Are you looking for me?

“……okay.”

Hyunseong reluctantly answers so that Brin can’t hear.

Then, a voice that seemed to say, “What absurd,” rang in my head.

-Oh my, it’s here, it’s here.

“If you tell me to come here, how would I know…”

He noticed something while talking and stopped.

Because I realized where the voices I heard in my consciousness were coming from.

Let’s lower our gaze,

-You’re just now looking this way?

The voice was coming from his own hands.

To be exact, from the sword he was holding.

Hyunseong was so embarrassed that he couldn’t say anything and just stared at the sword.

Then, a translucent window appeared before my eyes with a ding.

[Sealed Demon Sword]

[Rank: Hero]

[Description: A sword used by the Demon King in the past. The first seal was lifted after meeting someone qualified.]

The description written in the system window had changed from just now.
