Monster Heavenly King - Chapter 32



Only Noblemtl

32. Black Wolf (2)

Hyunseong, who had knocked down Hwawonchang, clenched his teeth at Seol-ah.

“But wasn’t the translation a bit strange?”

-Anyway, as long as the meaning is understood, that’s all that matters, right?

“… … .”

-Do you know me or anyone else that day?

“no.”

It was the first time I had ever seen them.

I just know the swordsmanship they use.

Seol-ah asked in a puzzled voice.

-Do I need to dig up the information?

You could tell at a glance that they were moving in an organized manner.

I thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to keep one of them alive to get information, but Hyunseong killed him without asking a single question.

“Most of what these people know is just useless stuff.”

These guys probably don’t even know why they’re chasing them.

Because the lower ranks were the ones who had no choice but to do whatever they were told to do without asking or questioning.

‘I can roughly estimate the number of people.’

Unless you move as an individual, the entire Black Wolf will be chasing you.

Hyunseong was slightly taken aback.

Are you saying that you are going to send in the Black Wolf Corps to pursue them?

‘What did I do… … Ah.’

It was only then that I remembered what happened at the stadium.

There, he killed two members of the Cheonmasin Church.

However, they are not chasing him because he killed a teacher… .

‘Probably the one managing that place was the Cheonmasingyo.’

From the victim’s perspective, they might have thought it was like a challenge to them.

Seol-ah muttered quietly as she told me her guess.

-You know quite well.

The things Hyunseong said were not things that could be known simply through experience.

Information you cannot know if you don’t know what kind of entity the enemy is.

‘It’s related in some way… .’

He didn’t seem to have any intention of telling.

Seol-ah finally gave up on digging and asked.

-So, what are you going to do?

“How about that guy from earlier? What’s the subject?”

-I’m talking about these guys’ colleagues.

When we caught that guy earlier, he said he finished reporting his location.

That means other Awakened ones are coming this way.

The reason they only monitor and do not attack is because they are waiting for their comrades to join them.

‘but.’

Skeletons, goblins, orcs.

I won’t deny that it was a rare combination, but it wasn’t something to hesitate about.

Hyunseong stroked his chin at Seol-ah’s words.

‘It’s a black wolf… .’

Should I call it a bad relationship or a fate?

The memory of being chased by the Black Wolf when I was in the martial arts world came back to me vividly.

It was really fucking hard back then.

-I asked what you were going to do since you were coming right now.

“The simplest way is not to fight.”

If you decide to hide yourself, finding you in a vast labyrinth would be as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.

-That would be the easiest way. Then let’s move quickly. They might be nearby.

“Huh? What are you talking about?”

-? Weren’t you saying you were going to erase all traces and disappear?

“I said it was a simple method, I didn’t say to do it that way.”

-Then what?

Hyunseong answered Seol-ah’s question while gritting his teeth.

“We need to show those Black Wolf guys what real hunting is.”

* * *

“Answer 7.”

-… … .

Sakonghyun was listening to the walkie-talkie.

However, the radio remains silent even after receiving his orders.

A deep sigh came from his mouth.

‘I guess I got hit.’

Did he disobey orders and try to catch the guys first, or was he caught hiding?

Either way, it was still a headache.

Because I was saying that their skills were better than expected.

‘I didn’t think it was an ordinary skeleton…’

I never thought that 7 trillion would be affected.

Although the Black Wolf Unit was weaker than other units, a group of three was able to break through the second floor.

If the skeleton’s strength is really that much, then he is the only one in the Black Wolf Corps who can stand up to it individually.

“There is no response from Group 7. Move under the assumption that you have been hit, and if you fight the target, fight with a passing team.”

-1. Okay, I understand.

-2 Okay, I understand.

-… … .

“? 3rd group, answer.”

-… Warm.

“?”

I called again, but there was no answer.

I thought I heard a faint sound of something crashing.

Sakonghyun frowned and brought the radio to his mouth.

“Is there a 4th group?”

-There are 4 groups.

“What about Article 5?”

-… Chijik, chik.

There was no answer, only noise.

At that moment, an ominous thought crossed my mind.

-Warm.

A sound coming from beyond the radio.

It was exactly the same sound I had faintly heard just now.

‘This is…’

If you are an Awakened One, this is the first sound you hear upon entering the labyrinth.

at that time,

-This place was attacked by Group 8… Kyaak?!

The radio transmission that had been coming in an urgent voice ended with a scream.

and,

-Warm.

The sound comes from beyond the radio once again.

The sound of teeth grinding against teeth was more creepy than ever.

“All groups, gather towards me immediately!”

-1st Group Okay, I understand!

-Group 6: Okay, I understand!

-Group 2 I see… Huh?! … … Hot.

Another one hit.

Sa-gong-hyeon could be sure.

That this guy on the other end of the radio is hunting them right now.

‘Article 7, Article 3, Article 5, Article 8, Article 2.’

Half of the 10-member Black Wolf Corps were defeated.

If things continue like this, there won’t even be ten people by the time we join.

Sakonghyun quietly drew his sword.

‘Because I might be the next one he attacks.’

At that moment, a shadow of a person appears, pushing through the bushes.

It was a face he knew well.

The question is, is that guy passed out with his eyes rolled back?

And then, a skeleton appeared behind the Black Wolf.

The guy picked up the radio from the fallen Black Wolf member and brought it to his lips.

-Warm.

The sound that was heard from the radio I was holding echoed right in front of my eyes.

* * *

-Oh, what? Why is he alone?

Seol-ah muttered as if she was puzzled when she saw Sa-gong-hyeon alone.

Hyunseong roughly throws aside the radio he was holding.

‘This guy is the boss.’

The momentum was different from the guys I had caught just now.

To be honest, in my opinion, the Black Wolf members were pathetic.

Not only is the Awakened one’s specs low, but their martial arts skills are also mediocre.

It was to the point where I wondered if this was really the Black Wolf that had cornered me in the past.

‘Is it because the Cheonmasingyo is in decline or is it just the Black Wolf guys who are like this?’

I thought that I wanted to see with my own eyes how the Cheonmasin Church had changed.

Sakonghyun tensed all the muscles in his body as he glared at the skeleton, ready to attack at any time.

but,

‘It’s dangerous to go in.’

He was just standing there, looking so vulnerable, but his intuition was sounding the alarm at full volume.

If you go in now, you’ll die.

Hyunseong’s eyes turned crimson as he looked at Sa-gong-hyeon.

‘This time, it seems like he’s a decent guy.’

All the other guys were busy rushing at him.

Hyunseong grabbed Seol-ah as if he liked her and ran towards Sa-gong-hyeon.

“Huh?!”

Kaang!

A new type of Hyunseong that passes by in an instant with an attack.

But it wasn’t over yet.

Black Wolf Passes by (黑狼過風) Because the second attack was real.

‘This is it…!’

Hyunseong passed by Sagonghyeon like a ghost.

I could only be sure after seeing it with my own eyes.

‘It’s different from the Black Wolf Sword Technique I used!’

Hyunseong’s swordsmanship had overcome the fatal flaw in the Black Wolf swordsmanship he was using.

but…

‘I am more skilled!’

There were some immature aspects to the Black Wolf Sword Technique that Hyunseong was using.

Unlike Hyeonseong, who simply remembers the Black Wolf Sword Technique, it is natural that Sa-gong-hyeon has a high level of skill as he has trained morning and night.

Kak!

Once again, swords clashed and sparks flew.

This time, Sakonghyun unfolded his first meal.

‘Black Wolf’s Claws Split!’

As if sharp claws were about to tear apart the enemy.

A black wolf ran towards him.

‘It’s pretty good, isn’t it?’

Hyunseong was amazed as he blocked Sagonghyeon’s sword.

I feel like I’ve met a real martial artist.

The sword hilt surrounding Sakong-hyeon’s sword was sharper than that of any Awakened One I had ever seen.

‘I guess it’s about 45 points out of 100.’

-After going through all the methods, isn’t the score not that high?

‘That’s not that kind of score.’

-then?

‘Just some sort of combat power measurement standard I made up?’

The sword could be raised to 10 or more by using 1 depending on the user’s ability.

Sa-gong-hyeon was saying that he was not only getting 10 out of 1, but that he was getting an efficiency of 45 points.

‘In my personal opinion, once you get over 80, it might take your whole life to raise it by 1. If you’re unlucky, you still can’t do it.’

-By the way, what about you?

‘I’m… about 87? 88?’

-That’s even more difficult than I thought. I thought it was at least 90 or more.

‘I still have a long way to go.’

In fact, when I was a Cheonma, I might have thought of myself as having a score of over 90 points.

However, after coming here and fighting, I realized that there is another sky above the sky, so I lowered my score a little.

‘Of course, a high score doesn’t necessarily mean a high level.’

It was only likely, but not absolute.

When I told this to Ma Cheon-gang, he looked dumbfounded and said that he was the first person to quantify martial arts.

Of course, later on, we agreed that the map was easy to use, and we had heated discussions about how many points we thought we had whenever we met an enemy.

-How many guys have you seen so far?

‘Even if I hit it well, it’s only 30?’

-Then I guess you could say he’s pretty good.

Because the first digits are different.

At that moment, when I was about to continue fighting with Sakonghyun,

“My lord! Group 1 has arrived.”

“Group 9 has arrived!”

The Awakened ones emerged from the bushes.

Next up to Articles 4 and 6.

All the remaining Black Wolfs had gathered together.

“Is this too much fun?”

It seemed like he was enjoying himself without even realizing it because he was excited.

After confirming that all the remaining Black Wolfs had gathered, Sakong Hyeon shouted while increasing the distance between himself and Hyeonseong.

“Unfold the Black Wind Formation!”

The name of the pass-jin was given because its attacking appearance resembles a black storm.

It was a name that remained in Hyunseong’s memory.

At the command of the Black Wolf Lord, twelve Black Wolf Lords moved in unison and surrounded him.

Seol-ah exclaimed in admiration at the sight.

-Hey, it’s pretty well made.

As Seol-ah, who had experienced countless battles, it seemed like that passing line would be difficult to break.

Hyunseong, who had been admiring it in the middle of the black wind for a while, thought to himself.

‘No, this is an old version too.’

He was using the Black Wind Jin and Black Wolf Sword Techniques in the version before he improved them.

What on earth happened to cause the rollback?

Hyunseong lifted Seol-ah up with a soft sigh.

“Black Wind Jin. Well, it was a pretty good Jin even before the improvements.”

Improvement means to make something better by making up for its shortcomings.

In other words,

“This time, I picked the wrong opponent.”

It was no different from saying that he knew the shortcomings of the Black Wolf Sword Technique and the Black Wind Jin.

As soon as Hyunseong finished speaking, he swung his sword.
