Monster Heavenly King - Chapter 28



Only Noblemtl

28. The Second Disciple (1)

‘Who the hell made this?’

Looking at that absurd ability, it seemed like it wasn’t just an old sword possessed by a spirit.

I asked subtly and the answer came back with a ringing sound.

-I don’t know either.

“You don’t know?”

-Yeah, because the oldest memory I have is from being stuck in the temple.

“You have no memories of what happened before that?”

-No. I may have been possessed by the sword at that moment.

Then there was no way to find out any more.

As I was sighing softly, I heard Seol-ah’s voice.

-So what are you going to do?

“What should I do? What?”

-I’m a completely capable person, and now I’m in your hands. What are you going to do with me from now on?

Those who got their hands on Seol-ah all tried to use her power.

Whether it’s taking revenge, founding a country, or going to war to become successful.

Hyunseong strokes his chin as if he is thinking quietly.

It’s not like his plans change because he got his hands on Seol-ah.

‘Nothing in particular.’

Because one problem was solved, but a mountain of others remained.

First of all, there is one problem to solve.

“I guess I’ll have to catch some monsters and evolve them first.”

Level up and evolve.

So that you can become a humanoid monster.

If that’s impossible, then the Awakened have to become strong enough to defeat a horde of them.

-Hmm, what next?

“And then… anything in particular?”

I didn’t really want to talk about looking for my brother or anything like that.

It’s not even a variation of ‘I’ll confess to her after this fight’, it’s something like ‘I’ll find my sister after I finish evolving’.

Because it only seemed like a death flag.

-Hey, what the heck? It’s ridiculous.

“What on earth do you want from me?”

-No, you’re just going to use me to conquer the world. Oh, and since I’m an undead, you’re going to kill all living creatures?

“……what?”

At that moment, I asked back without realizing it, wondering what he had just said.

Seol-ah shouts at herself to encourage her, ignoring her own reaction.

-Since you’ve already got me in your hands! Huh? You’re going to try all sorts of things! You can do anything as long as you have me! A world ruled by the undead isn’t a dream!

“…Are you actually the real Demon Sword?”

What kind of gruesome thing can you say so nonchalantly?

Maybe Seol-ah’s owners had been gaslighting themselves by hearing these words over and over again.

Isn’t this the kind of magic sword that drives its owner crazy?

-No, I get a little bored if I don’t have any goals in life.

“… … .”

Hyunseong looked at Seol-ah as if he was dumbfounded.

Is it because I have been eating spicy food for so long that I no longer like bland food?

“however….”

Seol-ah, who only has the first seal released, is just like a sword that is slightly good, except for the unique ability of communication.

“What can you do other than communicate when you’re sealed?”

-Just unseal it!

“how?”

-……well?

At those words, I suddenly felt a headache.

I must say that I keenly realized that this guy really had been living without a plan.

Until just now, I had thought that Seol-ah was some kind of incredibly great sword, but looking at it this way, I wondered if I had been mistaken.

-If you just break the seal, what? I’ll give you strength, what? I’ll conquer the world, what? I can do anything for you!

“… … .”

I began to think that perhaps I had released the seal of an absurd demon.

Hyunseong was deeply troubled.

Whether it’s a sword or a dagger, wouldn’t it be better to bury this sword deep in a place where no one can find it?

.

.

.

Did he feel his true heart’s desire to live?

Seol-ah also became a little quiet.

Hyunseong agonized over it until the very end, but decided to take Seol-ah with him for now.

It was a little, no, a lot noisy, but there was no denying that it was a good sword.

Insurance was necessary, as we did not know what risks would arise in the future.

‘It’s not very trustworthy as insurance.’

Seol-ah’s evaluation within Hyun-seong has plummeted.

I thought it would take quite a long time to recover.

Seol-ah exclaimed in admiration several times after seeing Hyun-seong and Brin fight the monsters they encountered along the way.

-I thought Brin was doing something on one side earlier, and this is what it was. This is interesting.

“Is it fun?”

-huh.

For Seol-ah, the Cheonma Sword Technique was bound to be extremely interesting.

To be exact, he is showing interest not only in the Cheonmagum method, but also in martial arts itself.

Some of the people who dealt with him also learned swordsmanship.

Sword techniques passed down through the royal family, sword techniques learned as a knight of the religious order, etc.

These swordsmanship techniques are used to block, evade, and kill enemy attacks.

These were very practical swordsmanship techniques used only against enemies.

It was natural, as it was a sword technique created for fighting.

‘but’

The swordsmanship used by Hyunseong and Brin was different.

While some of them were practical, others seemed so impractical that it made you wonder if they were meant to be used in real life.

It feels more like a path for a journey towards somewhere, to govern oneself rather than to fight.

Hyunseong was inwardly impressed after hearing Seol-ah’s comments about martial arts.

‘You’ve got the gist of it.’

The Heavenly Demonic Art, or rather, most martial arts, were nothing more than milestones that aimed for higher levels.

That’s why it’s inevitable that there will be self-training elements mixed in with practical ones.

Even though he knew nothing about martial arts, he had already grasped the essence of the Cheonma Sword Technique just by watching it a few times.

‘You’re talented. If you had learned martial arts, you would have been successful.’

I didn’t say it out loud because I thought it would just cause trouble.

As I was walking through the bushes with that thought in mind.

Hyunseong discovered something and headed towards it.

A small open space is revealed as you push through the bushes.

and…

“house?”

There was a house.

At first I thought it was a hideout created by the Awakened One, but that didn’t seem to be the case.

A wooden house, not old, but poorly built and built only to keep out rain and snow.

‘There’s no need to make it like this.’

Since the Awakened only stay in their hideout for a short time, perhaps a day or two, there was no need to go through the hassle of building a house.

I looked around the vacant lot and checked the houses, but there was no one there or they were just abandoned.

I felt no sign of anything.

Hyunseong opened the half-broken door and went into the house.

“Hmm… .”

-What is this dirty house?

There was no furniture inside, but traces of life were visible here and there.

And the traces were relatively recent, appearing to have been used within a few days.

“I don’t think it’s been that long.”

“Maybe he’s already gone?”

-That could be the case.

The moment I left the house, there was no particular reason to stay there for long.

A single sound came rushing towards him at a terrifying speed as if it had been waiting for him.

“Profit!”

The giant, who had been advancing recklessly like a wild boar, attacked by swinging something in his hand.

Boom!!

Instead of the sharp sound of metal clashing with metal, there was the sound of an explosion.

The air burst from the collision dispersed into the surrounding area, creating a breeze.

Only then was he able to clearly see the figure of the person who had attacked him.

A huge body that must be over 180 cm tall or at least 2 meters tall.

His muscles, which seemed to have no body fat at all, were bulging as if they would burst at any moment, and his veins were prominent, making his muscles stand out even more.

And the lower canine teeth sticking out of the mouth, showing off their presence.

The monster that attacked you was,

-Okne.

It was an orc.

The guy wielding the giant sword had a look of defeat on his face, as if he had never thought he would be able to block a surprise attack.

‘How scary.’

Even though I blocked it, I was pushed back considerably by the impact and the ground caved in.

If I hadn’t prepared, I would have been blown away like a baseball hit by a bat.

A guy who swings his sword and attacks again.

But this time, I had no intention of fighting back.

If you keep blocking the same ignorant attacks as before, your bones will break first.

If so, what is the method?

‘Soft but strong’

It was to deflect the guy’s attacks.

The moment Seol-ah and Geo-do collide,

Kak!

Hyunseong twisted his sword.

An attack by a guy who slips without even being able to properly impact the target.

He slipped right into the gap between the orcs.

The guy realized that it was difficult to swing the sword in this state.

“Profit!!!”

He threw down the sword he had swung with an angry sound.

And, stepping on the truth, he instead rushed towards himself.

“her?”

I never thought it would turn out like this.

This made it difficult for him, as well as the orc, to swing his sword properly.

Was it that my sense as a warrior told me that if I tried to avoid it, I would get hurt?

It was surprising that the orcs came out like this, but it wasn’t a completely unexpected number.

I raised my internal energy and prepared for the clash with the guy’s short lunge.

Kuung!!

It sounded like a huge rock had hit the ground.

Seol-ah, who was watching the fight with her hands in her hands, let out a sigh of admiration.

-They’re fighting fiercely.

It was truly a battle of warriors.

However, since it was a battle of pure strength, Hyunseong, who had inferior basic specifications, was bound to lose.

‘If it weren’t for this, I would have been pushed out a long time ago.’

He was able to endure it because he had the [Great Warrior’s Fang] he was wearing.

If you enter into a power struggle here, you will lose.

However, if you try to get away from here, the guy will immediately catch up to you to crush you.

‘then…!’

I developed my inner strength.

The orc, who had been waiting for an opening, had the illusion that he saw a tree for a moment.

A large tree so strong that it is difficult to uproot it.

Hyunseong gathered all his strength using the large tree as an axis and drove his fist into the orc’s side.

Phew!

“Ugh?!”

A heavy fist that feels as if it has been hit with an iron ball.

The orc who allowed the attack staggered and lost strength for a moment.

I took advantage of that fleeting moment to quickly distance myself from the orc.

“Chwiik, you’re doing pretty well, Skeleton.”

“Ah, I thought it was strong.”

It seemed that the orc that appeared before my eyes was not a normal monster, but a territory boss.

The physical specs are good, and the combat sense is not bad either.

Of all the bosses I’ve met so far, this one might be the most difficult to deal with.

The orc flew into the sky and picked up his own sword, which had fallen to the ground.

Hyunseong lifts Seol-ah up and aims it at the orc.

“Then shall we continue?”

An orc glaring at you as if he was going to attack you at any moment.

Hyunseong tenses his whole body so that he can move at any time.

“Profit?!”

Suddenly the guy started to get noticeably agitated.

Orcs who are rapidly losing their will to fight.

I tilted my head, wondering what was going on.

The guy pointed to himself with a trembling voice.

“Where did you get that, skeleton?”

To be exact, the [Great Warrior’s Fang] hanging around his neck.

Why would a realm boss be curious about what you get as a reward in an dungeon?

The moment he thought that, Hyunseong couldn’t help but be flustered by the guy’s next words.

“Why do you have my father’s molar?”

“……yes?”
