Monster Heavenly King - Chapter 31



Only Noblemtl

31. Black Wolf

A crimson glow shone from inside the skull.

After finishing his breakfast, Hyunseong sat cross-legged and stretched.

Seol-ah asked Hyun-seong whether the cross-legged position was strange.

-Does that pose mean something?

“Well, now it’s just a habit.”

-That’s amazing.

If you had a body, it had meaning.

Because it was an attitude that accepted energy as efficiently as possible.

But now, when there is nothing but bones…

‘There may not be a need to insist on sitting cross-legged.’

Because I wasn’t building up my internal energy through breathing.

Moreover, since he was moving solely by his own will, he could build up his internal energy without having to sit cross-legged.

For example,

‘While fighting, for example.’

Of course, it was never easy.

If you’re not careful, you might end up lost in your own mind.

But it was more than worth a try.

Because there was a clue there that led further up.

‘I still don’t get it.’

I try to recall the time I fought Nol, but even now when I think about it, I wonder how I did it.

At that moment, a thought suddenly occurred to me.

‘Huh? Now that you mention it….’

Hyunseong looked at his second disciple, Rashi, who was wielding a weapon with Brin on one side.

Rashi was diligently practicing the Samjae Do method, or rather the Pacheon Do method, with the sword he obtained by killing nearby monsters in his hand.

‘Does Rashi have skills?’

He, like Brin, is a realm boss.

It wouldn’t have been strange if you could use skills.

“Rashiya.”

“Profit.”

“Did you use any skills when you first fought me?”

“Skill…?”

Rashi tilted his head as if he didn’t understand.

Brin, who was listening to the story from the side, added an explanation.

“I’m talking about a technique that uses magic power.”

“I used that.”

“Oh. Can you show me what it is?”

“Profit.”

It wasn’t that difficult, so Rashi took hold of his own path.

And then, the giant sword cut through the air with fierce momentum.

Kwaaaa!

The void that had split with great force scattered to the surroundings, creating a breeze.

And that’s it.

“…?”

“… … .”

Brin tilted his head as if he didn’t understand English.

Unlike the first disciple, Hyunseong seemed to have a rough idea of ​​what skill Rashi was using.

“It makes the next attack even stronger.”

The skill that Rashi used was the skill commonly referred to by Awakened people as [Strike].

A simple but powerful skill.

Hyunseong’s crimson eyes sparkled.

“Can you tell me how to use that magic power?”

“Okay. Okay, I understand.”

Hyunseong learned [Strong Hit] from Rashi and tried using it.

After using it a few times, he started clicking his teeth as if he had gotten the hang of it.

“indeed.”

The moment the attack landed, the result was greater than what he had swung.

As of now, the difference is so minimal that it is difficult to tell.

That will be resolved as your skill level increases.

“and….”

“Is there more?”

“Profit.”

“but.”

It’s not like it’s decided that a territory boss only has one skill.

There were three skills that Rashi used in total.

The first one was [Strike] and the second one was [Berserk].

Increases attack power but reduces defense power.

Moreover, as the word ‘broadcast’ suggests, the accident was colored by anger.

“Don’t use that skill unless your life is at risk.”

If Rash fights like before, Berserk will still be a useful skill.

However, now that I am learning martial arts, it is a dangerous skill that could actually cause me to fall into a state of mental confusion.

“All right.”

Rashi simply nodded in agreement without asking any reason.

I thought you were going to ask why, but I never thought you’d ask anything.

And the last skill is [Strength Increase].

but,

‘This is useless.’

It was a skill he couldn’t use.

To be exact, it could be used, but it was meaningless.

Because it wasn’t about strengthening the systemic strength, but rather strengthening the muscles.

-Phew, no muscles to strengthen?

“Shut up. Do you have any useful skills?”

They have lived for a long time and their owners are all worthy of being engraved in history.

I thought he probably knew a lot of useful skills.

-I don’t know.

“Huh?”

The answer I heard was completely unexpected.

Hyunseong asked just in case.

“Is it because of the seal?”

-No, it has nothing to do with the seal. I don’t know about that.

“why?”

-Because it’s a sword.

“… … ”

-There’s no way a sword can learn to use magic like a human, right?

That was so true that I had nothing to say.

Seol-ah, who had been a swordsman since the moment she was born, had no need to use her magical powers like a human.

“But you must have seen it.”

-If I tell you what I saw, will you tell me how to use magic?

“… Impossible.”

Without having the eyes of God.

It was like immediately understanding how a martial artist you were seeing for the first time used his internal energy.

-I can show you once the seal is broken.

“No, you said you didn’t know just now?”

-Because what you wanted was how to use the skill.

Hyunseong seemed to think quietly, then clacked his teeth as if he understood the meaning.

“You don’t know how to use magic, but you can use magic?”

-Bingo. Thanks to my unique ability.

“So you’re using it to communicate with magic? That’s quite a convenient ability.”

Isn’t this just like an order?

It was at an absurd level.

-Ahem, how was it seeing you again?

“Even so, right now it’s just a sealed, noisy sword.”

-You’re being noisy?! I said just break the seal!

“No, I won’t let you go.”

Seol-ah and Hyeon-seong continue their childish bickering for a while.

Seol-ah suddenly asked, shaking her sword as if something had occurred to her.

-So what are you going to do?

“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

-You didn’t notice?

“No, tell me first. What should I do?”

-The guys who are watching us.

“Oh, them?”

Hyunseong muttered as if he finally understood.

There was someone watching them from earlier.

She was watching them, wondering what their purpose was, and Seol-ah was asking what she was going to do with them.

-I would have been disappointed if I hadn’t noticed.

“Who would understand if you suddenly said that?”

Hyunseong scratched his skull with his index finger bone.

It’s definitely not something that can be left like this.

It was time to make a decision.

‘There are… three people in total. Let’s go hunting for the first time in a while.’

Hyunseong disappeared between the bushes.

* * *

“Haa, what is this.”

Hwawonchang, a member of the Cheonmasingyo and Heukrangdae, let out a soft sigh.

How dumbfounded I was when I heard about this mission from Black Wolf Lord Sagonghyeon.

The task is to find the skeleton that went to the second floor.

‘That’s why I didn’t want to come to Heukrangdae.’

Even in the Cheonmasingyo religion, the ones who were treated as odd jobs were the Black Wolf.

The work is hard, and other believers even look down on them.

That is why it was the place that believers were most reluctant to enter.

‘I wanted to join the Heavenly Tiger Corps, if not the Demon Dragon Corps.’

Of course, it would have been difficult with his own skills.

Hwawonchang sighed and muttered.

“I never thought that would really happen.”

When I first received the order from the Great Lord, I thought it was some kind of nonsense.

There really was a skeleton on the second floor.

Plus goblins and orcs were added.

‘What kind of combination is that?’

I’ve heard that when you go through a labyrinth, there are cases where different monsters coexist.

I’ve only heard about it in words, but I never thought I’d see it with my own eyes.

Even so, there are skeletons, goblins, and orcs that curse living things.

That was when.

– Chijik, location report complete. If the target moves, follow it.

-i get it.

Communication between crew members coming from the radio.

Hwa-Won-Chang lifted the radio as if he was annoyed.

“Should we just catch it ourselves?”

There are only three opponents.

Those two guys were coming from the first floor.

If you just watch out for orcs, you should be able to catch them easily.

-Stop it. The order is to report immediately upon discovery and continue monitoring.

“Tsk.”

Why is this guy, Jojang, such an old-fashioned person?

What’s so scary about those guys?

That’s why the Black Wolf is ignored.

“But what are those guys doing?”

Hwawonchang’s gaze turned to the goblins and orcs.

Two monsters, each holding and swinging their own weapons.

While the orcs were only swinging their swords vertically, the goblins were moving their swords in a flashy way.

“Is that a herbivore?”

Hwa-won-chang, who was laughing quietly even after saying it himself.

A monster is showing off its martial arts skills.

If you tell someone, you’ll only get laughed at, not to mention ridiculous.

Hwawonchang, who had been staring at the goblins and orcs without thinking for a while, suddenly realized something.

‘Where did the skeleton go?’

The most important target, the skeleton, was nowhere to be seen.

The moment he lifted the radio, he wondered if it had disappeared from his sight.

-Ugh?!

“!?”

A scream of pain heard from beyond the radio.

Immediately afterwards, the radio was cut off.

I urgently tried to call the Black Wolf members across the street through the walkie-talkie,

“Hey, what’s going on?!”

There was no response.

Not just one, but both of them.

I felt creepy and goosebumps appeared all over my body.

‘I got caught!?’

But, you’re saying you’ll get hurt just because you got caught?

To whom?

The goblins and orcs were still there.

So you got attacked by a skeleton?

I thought it was nonsense.

‘But what happened was real.’

It was hard to believe that the old-fashioned foreman would do something like this.

Hwa-Won-Chang kicked the ground as his anxiety grew.

It’s dangerous to stay here.

‘There must be someone controlling the skeleton.’

Otherwise, it would have been difficult to understand this situation.

Whatever it is, the only thing I can do now is to lead the Black Wolf Corps as fast as I can.

Warm.

Hwa-won-chang’s footsteps stopped at the sound.

Because the sound was coming from in front of him, not behind him.

And as if to welcome him, a skeleton appears from the bushes.

“Uh, how…?”

Although he was weak in martial arts, he was confident that he was the fastest among the Black Wolf members in terms of magical power.

But to surpass that kind of person.

In that moment, I understood what had happened.

“It wasn’t just one!”

“…?”

The only one there was was fake.

While they were watching, other skeletons would have surrounded the area.

Otherwise it wouldn’t make sense.

Hwawonchang’s head began to turn quickly.

If the crew members were affected, the longer it took, the more disadvantaged they would become.

If the orc we just saw joins, it will be impossible to deal with it alone.

If so, there was only one way left.

‘Finish it quickly before the guy’s owner arrives.’

Black Wolf Sword Technique

Black Wolf Biting Neck

A black wolf rushes towards your neck.

I will break the skeleton’s neck as it is.

But, his own black.

Kaang!

“what?!”

It was blocked so easily that it was ridiculous.

The skeleton that blocked the sword spoke to Hwawonchang, who had a dumbfounded expression.

“I will show you the true Black Wolf Sword Technique.”

-You idiot who can’t even use a sword properly. I’ll teach you a trick as a gift for taking you to the afterlife.
