Monster Heavenly King - Chapter 29



Only Noblemtl

29. The Second Disciple (2)

“… … .”

Hyunseong couldn’t say anything.

The item I got from defeating the boss in the dungeon belongs to the boss’s father in front of me.

It was an unimaginable situation.

-What, so you killed his father? And as if that wasn’t enough, you even bragged about his remains? You’re trash!

‘No, I didn’t brag about it.’

I just had it hanging around my neck.

Besides, what he killed was just a zombie orc from an instant dungeon.

It wasn’t a living thing.

‘But, don’t you think it’s a bit much for you to say something like that?’

-What? Why?

When I hear the word trash from a guy who talks about conquering the world and annihilating all life, I feel like I’ve become trash that can’t be recycled.

Hyunseong put down his sword as if he had no intention of fighting and tried to talk…

“Kill me!”

“No, I think there is some misunderstanding here.”

“Father’s enemy!”

“Let’s have a quick conversation-”

“Profit!!”

“… … .”

-It doesn’t seem like a situation where we can have a conversation.

“I know.”

Hyeonseong, who was sighing softly, raised his sword again.

-Are you trying to kill me?

“What are you talking about? Let me cool your head first.”

-… I think I know how.

Some of those who used it also preferred that method.

The method of cooling off the head that Hyunseong had mentioned was simpler than I thought.

‘Let’s fight and win first!’

The body, which was nothing but bones, accelerated in an instant.

In a short moment, not even a breath away, he had already reached the orc’s side.

“Whoosh!!”

A guy who realizes his own existence a beat late and then shouts out his intentions.

The sword, swung diagonally, was aimed precisely between the neck and shoulder.

As Hyunseong kicked the ground and fell back slightly, Geodo passed by with great force in the spot where he had just been.

When the Tao approached the ground,

Bam!

He stomped on the back of the sword, drove it into the ground, dug deeper, and placed his palm on the guy’s abdomen.

And the internal energy that gushed out from the Jangsim point in the palm of my handㅡ

Boom!

It pierced the orc’s body.

Penetrability.

“Profit!”

An orc groaned in pain.

A guy who regains his balance by stepping on a stepping stone while staggering and about to fall.

‘You survived that?’

I definitely felt like I was in.

It would be normal if you couldn’t even stand properly.

But the orc pulled out his sword from the ground and swung it sideways.

‘This is hard to avoid!’

He swung his sword to block the attack, and raised his internal energy to prepare for the impact.

Boom!!

The sword, swung in a circle, had tremendous destructive power, including centrifugal force.

Just blocking it makes my bones hurt.

If I hadn’t been prepared, it would have been torn in two in an instant.

Crunch! Crunch!

The sword he swung sometimes knocked away and sometimes deflected.

Hyunseong, who had been continuing the workshop, was dumbfounded.

‘This guy is no ordinary guy?’

Not only was he blocking the orc’s attacks, but he was also occasionally launching attacks at a speed that the orc couldn’t keep up with.

A speed that even an orc cannot keep up with, as acceleration was used.

However, his attacks were not dealing any proper damage to the guy.

‘Your skin is as hard as stone. Are all orcs like this?!’

It was on a completely different level from the lizardmen I had faced before.

Is he this strong because he’s a territory boss? Is he special?

Hyunseong decided to take a last resort, thinking that this ridiculous battle of wits would continue until the guy got tired.

‘I never thought I’d end up using this here.’

I held Seol-ah and focused quietly.

His concentration, sharpened like a sharp sword, contained his own thoughts in the sword.

The internal energy flowed into the sword like a thread through the intention, and the tangled internal energy and intention wrapped around Seol-ah.

-This is…

If someone who had mastered martial arts saw the energy surrounding Seol-ah, he would have exclaimed in admiration.

A strong spirit that can only be created by reaching the level of a martial arts master.

Sword and crossbones.

“Profit!”

As Hyunseong stood still, the orc saw this as an opportunity and swung his sword vertically to crush his skull.

Hyunseong lifted Seol-ah, who had a black eye.

With this-

‘Cut the guy’s path.’

In fact, it was something I had been trying to do continuously since a while ago.

If his main weapon breaks, his fighting power will be halved.

However, since the orc’s sword was surrounded by a sword, it was impossible to cut it with a sword.

‘Then the only method I can use now is sword training.’

If Geomgi could draw out 10 power with 1 internal energy, Geomgang could draw out 100 power with 10 internal energy.

Even though the efficiency itself is similar, the performance itself is on a different level.

It is said that when you reach the tip of the sword, there is no longer any meaning in distinguishing between sword energy and sword strength, but I have not yet reached that level.

Hyunseong swung his sword at the sword that was swinging to split his skull.

Kaang!

The sword made with Qi and the pottery made with magic clashed.

And the sword the orc was holding was cleanly cut off, leaving only the handle.

“My, my sword….”

Could it be that he never thought that his own sword would break?

The guy with the expression on his face as if the world was falling apart cried out.

“Chwiik!! The sword my father passed down to me…!”

“… … .”

When I heard it, it looked exactly like the giant sword that the Indian boss used to swing.

Seol-ah, who had been quietly watching the scene, rang the sword bell.

-Ugh, trash.

‘No, hey, isn’t this force majeure?’

He was trying to talk, but the other person got excited and rushed in first.

He showed no signs of stopping the fight, so he took the last resort. Who would have thought that it would be his father’s heirloom?

Suddenly, he had become a commoner who stole and destroyed his orc father’s belongings.

Hyunseong first decided to calm down the orc who was crying as if the world was going to end.

.

.

.

Seol-ah, who returned to her scabbard, looked at Hyeon-seong, who was calming down the orc, and was lost in thought.

‘What on earth is this guy’s true identity?’

When I first met him, I thought he was just a skeleton with a strange aura.

Because individuals that have the potential to become a higher species, even though they are subspecies, have always had a unique aura even before they evolved.

‘I was surprised at how strong the energy was.’

If I had judged it based on its aura without knowing it was a skeleton, I would have thought it was the Demon King.

Even when fighting other monsters, I just thought they were fighting well and moved on.

There is no law that says you can’t fight once you have an ego.

‘But that’s different.’

Just fought the orcs.

There he realized that everything he had thought up until then was wrong.

The sword steel that wrapped around the swordsman in battle.

Those who possessed it were all great people, so most of them could use it, but it was never easy.

‘Skill and strength do not match.’

That was the crux of what was confusing him the most.

The concept of martial arts is also fascinating.

I had a strong feeling that Hyunseong must have a lot of secrets that I didn’t know about.

‘furthermore….’

Up until now, those who have owned themselves have tried to use them for whatever reason.

The knights of the sect are there to protect someone.

The king of a country rules over all people.

The hero goes to defeat the monster.

However, Hyunseong seemed to have no such desires at all.

He thinks of himself as nothing more than a sharp sword.

It may be because his seal hasn’t been released yetㅡ

‘It didn’t look like he had any intention of breaking the seal.’

Hyunseong didn’t seem to care much about his own seal.

Even if it wasn’t his sword but another sword, his actions would not have been any different from what they were now.

‘This is my first time seeing an owner like this.’

I thought it would be fun to mix it up with the embarrassment and the sanity.

.

.

.

As time passed, Hyunseong was able to talk to a real orc.

“Chwiik, so. You defeated your father who had become a zombie in the dungeon and obtained his molars.”

“Okay. So what’s your name?”

“Rash.”

“… Is it Mr. Ra?”

“Profit?”

“No, it’s nothing.”

In response to the question of not knowing what he was talking about, Hyunseong coughed in vain and brushed it off.

So I started asking Rashi a few questions that I had been curious about.

“You lived in that castle too?”

“Yes.”

“Why did it turn out like that there?”

“The enemy had invaded. We resisted to the end, but were eventually defeated, and my father told me to run away.”

“And then what?”

“I fell off a cliff and woke up here.”

Hyunseong asked many other questions as well.

He scratched his head as if he was confused and thought.

‘All I know is that his name is Rashi.’

-What did you want to know?

‘I thought you might know something about the labyrinth.’

But, it was in vain.

While he was lost in thought, Rashi remained silent for a while and then opened his mouth.

“How was your father?”

“…even after death he was a great warrior.”

If he were alive, I would want to fight him once while he was still intact.

“Profit.”

A guy who smiles as if he’s been praised.

Looking at him, he seemed like a rather innocent guy, despite his appearance.

Hyunseong looked at the two pieces of Geodo.

‘Hey, can you fix that?’

-Still, I guess your conscience still pricks you.

‘Honestly, I swung it, but strictly speaking, weren’t you the one who broke it in two?’

-? No, you’re blaming me for this?

Seol-ah muttered as if she was dumbfounded.

Because he was just a weapon that could be either a holy sword or a demonic sword depending on who wielded it.

But then that user blames himself.

‘Is it noisy and possible or impossible? Just answer that.’

-Not possible at this time.

‘For now?’

-It’s possible only when the seal is broken.

‘Ugh.’

A groan came out of Hyunseong as if he was in trouble.

Because there was no way right now.

Besides, I didn’t know how to break the seal, so I couldn’t say for sure when it would be possible.

-Do you really need to fix it? Just kill it and get experience. It’s a realm boss, so its level will go up.

‘… … .’

-Besides, the area boss reappears after some time has passed? Then, won’t that sword be restored to its original state?

‘… Hey, tell me now. You’re not really a demon sword, are you?’

The idea was terrifying.

From Seol-ah’s perspective, she simply chose efficiency without considering the situation at all from a third-party perspective.

While he was lost in thought for a moment, Rashi came up to him and knelt down on one knee.

“Chwiik. I want to learn from the great warrior who defeated my father.”

“huh?”

“I want revenge. On the guy who killed my clan.”

“By the way, who attacked you?”

“He was a guy I didn’t know. But… he’s strong. He could easily kill me at my current level.”

From what Rashi said, it seemed like only one enemy had ever invaded the citadel.

He said that he fought against all the orcs in the citadel without showing any signs of fatigue or suffering a single wound.

‘He’s a real guy.’

Even for himself back when he was a Cheonma, wouldn’t it have been difficult to that extent?

Hyunseong looked at his disciple, Brin, for a moment.

There was already one, so adding one more wouldn’t make a difference.

“Okay, I will take you as my disciple.”
