Monster Heavenly King - Chapter 35



Only Noblemtl

35. Oak Village (2)

A huge rock that reveals its appearance hidden in the bushes.

When I put my hand on the rock and touched it, it felt no different from a real rock.

“Is this really a barrier? It just looks like rocks. But the feel is the same.”

-That’s the barrier that was made. If you block people from entering when there’s nothing there, they’ll naturally think there must be something there and try to break through by force.

“but.”

It’s human nature to want to do something even more when you tell yourself not to.

On the other hand, if there were only rocks like this, people would just think there were rocks and not even think about touching them.

“That’s why it wasn’t discovered until now.”

-You’re a smart guy.

“So how do I get in?”

Even when I was in the martial arts world, formations were my weak subject.

In most cases, they would just destroy everything once they got caught rather than solving it through standard procedures.

-Can’t you do something like cutting space with a sword?

“It’s still a bit difficult.”

-You say it as if it were possible later.

“……maybe?”

If I continue to get stronger without any problems, I think I will be able to reach that area.

A question suddenly occurred to me, so I asked Seol-ah.

“Among those who used you, were there any who cut through space?”

-There were a few with magic.

“Is it there?”

Even though he was a complete novice when it came to magic, just being able to reach that level would be a skill no different from that of a master.

Seol-ah continued speaking in an excited voice at Hyun-seong’s admiration.

-Of course I can do it too. As long as the seal is released.

“That damn seal. I can actually use space bells, but I can’t because I’m sealed.”

-I told you it’s true!?

“Yes, yes. So, what is the way to break through the barrier other than by cutting through space?”

-There are several ways, such as killing the guy who created the barrier. You can also break the axis like when you destroyed the passing circle. But…

That wasn’t easy either.

The barrier was not meant to catch those inside, but to block enemies outside, and its axis was usually on the inside.

Both methods are not available externally.

“What methods can I use now?”

-Forcibly break it?

“? What’s the difference between this and dividing space?”

-Actually, if you just look at the results, there isn’t much of a difference.

“… … .”

-Doesn’t that look better?

Is it like the difference between a kindergartener who knows that 1 plus 1 equals 2 and a mathematician who can prove why?

Hyunseong lifted Seol-ah up with a soft sigh.

-You have to break the part where the barrier is exactly. There are parts that are actually rocks, so don’t get confused.

“okay.”

Sharpens your senses.

From inside the skull, a rippling, crimson gaze stared at one point.

A place where the flow of magical power gathers.

He swung his sword, aiming for that exact spot.

Boom!

A section of rock crumbles with a thud, accompanied by the sound of a bomb exploding.

And what emerged from inside the rock was,

“Is it a passageway?”

It was a passage leading somewhere.

I thought it was an Indian entrance, but it was very different from the entrance I had seen before, so I thought it wasn’t.

Hyunseong is lost in thought, stroking his chin.

That worry didn’t last long.

“Brin, Rash. Come inside. Follow me.”

“Keruk.”

“Okay. Okay, I understand.”

The passage was quite wide.

To the point where even if an orc Rash comes in, he doesn’t have to bow down, let alone himself or Bryn.

When we got to the place we passed through the passage,

“village?”

A village reminiscent of a rural landscape appeared.

Could this place also have been created by the Awakened like a labyrinth city?

However, that thought did not last long as I was able to confirm that it was not true.

“Profit!”

“Whoosh!”

The villagers came out to welcome them.

Because they were none other than orcs.

Because the orcs were each holding weapons and were spewing hostility toward them without sparing any effort.

Dozens of orcs were staring at us as if they were going to rush in at any moment.

-I guess this is an orc village.

“The orcs hid and built a village like this?”

-Is it weird?

“Of course… No, it’s not that strange.”

If you think about it, it wasn’t that surprising.

Since they have the intelligence to converse, it wouldn’t be strange at all for them to live in villages.

-They seem like they’ll rush in at any moment. What are you going to do?

“well.”

Are they on guard because a strange monster has entered, or do they know that they have broken the barrier?

Since I came this far, I wanted to at least have a conversation…

“It doesn’t seem like the mood is right.”

Brindo Rash also took out his weapons with a very nervous expression.

I don’t know if this is a dungeon or if this place is special, but the orcs in front of me had a different vibe from the ones I’d seen before.

They all had the air of seasoned warriors.

The standoff was so long.

The moment Hyunseong tried to move first.

“Chwiik, wait a minute.”

Among the group of orcs, one orc appeared, slightly smaller than the others.

The orc seemed quite old, as his face was wrinkled.

Yet his body looked more solid than that of a healthy adult male.

“Did you break the barrier and come in?”

-It’s an orc shaman. I think he’s the chieftain here.

‘wizard?’

-If you go into it deeply, it’s different… but for now, you can think of it as the same.

Since I had never fought a wizard before, I had no idea how to fight him.

If you get caught up in preconceptions, you’ll get hit by an unexpected number.

-If I had to give one tip when dealing with wizards, it would be to not be affected by magic and not be affected by it.

‘That’s a damn useful tip.’

It was advice that naturally elicited admiration.

He clenched his teeth and kept his guard up, ready to swing his sword at any moment.

“then?”

“I knew that one day I would be caught, but I never thought that a monster would come before a human.”

The chieftain looked at the intruders one by one, then glared at Rashi behind Hyunseong.

“Are you… Rashi?!”

“?”

Rashi, whose name was suddenly called, drew a question mark above his head.

Surely he wouldn’t have expected that an orc would know his name.

Rashi frowned and looked at the chief who called his name.

“…! Raman! Are you Uncle Raman?”

Judging from the fact that Rashi recognized his opponent, it seemed that he was an orc from the Rashi family.

At the chieftain’s command, the orcs dispersed, and Hyeonseong was invited to his house.

“You’re alive, Rashi.”

“I also thought Uncle Raman was dead.”

If you listen to the story from the side, it seems like Raman lost consciousness while fighting in the collapsing castle and ended up here.

“It wasn’t long before we realized that there were dangerous humans out there. So we set up a barrier and started accepting orcs little by little.”

So the orcs that gathered together like that created a village?

-Those orcs broke the barrier just because they were curious about their survival.

‘No, please don’t talk like I broke it all by myself.’

Although it is true that he physically broke it alone, wasn’t it Seol-ah who said there was a barrier in the first place?

You are the one who instigated it and now you are pretending not to know anything about it.

-I, I just tell the user what’s around them!

‘You said you were curious first.’

A monster and a sword that evades responsibility like a towel.

Chief Raman opened his mouth when he saw Hyunseong and Brin next to Rashi.

“Chwiik, I am training under my master for revenge.”

“If you’re talking about Master… are you talking about Goblin?”

“no.”

“… … .”

Raman looks at himself with eyes of distrust.

It seemed that even the orcs would have a hard time believing that their master was a skeleton.

“So, what are you going to do, Skeleton?”

“What should I do?”

“You broke the barrier and came all the way here, so are you going to fight us?”

A nephew is a nephew and an intruder is an intruder.

Hyunseong chuckled and clicked his teeth.

“Don’t worry, I won’t think so.”

I didn’t have any interest in picking a fight with guys who wanted to live quietly.

“I broke the barrier, but can it be restored?”

“It will take some time, but it is possible.”

Just as Hyunseong was about to say something, it started to get noisy outside.

An orc running towards you with a loud noise.

He spoke, breathing heavily.

“Chief! It’s an attack! A bunch of lizardmen have come!”

“What!?”

The chief gets up from his seat in a hurry.

He grabbed a cane that was nearby and ran outside.

“A raid, all of a sudden?”

-Maybe it’s because this is the timing? Who must have made a hole in the barrier?

“… … ”

“Chwiik, I will go and help.”

Rashi rises up holding his own sword.

Hyunseong also followed him outside.

and,

“Wow.”

I was amazed at the number of lizardmen surrounding the village.

Not one or two, but dozens.

It was still growing steadily as if it wasn’t over yet.

-Through the hole you broke.

‘Let’s say us.’

I admit I broke it, but I couldn’t die alone.

Hyunseong decides to take Seol-ah with him through the water ghost operation.

The orcs were fighting well, but they were greatly outnumbered.

If things continue this way, the orcs will be defeated before long.

at that time,

Hwaruk!!!

A huge flame swept through the lizardmen.

Dozens of lizardmen rolling around with an explosive sound.

The magic of Raman.

However, the flames that seemed to burn all the lizardmen were extinguished by water shot from somewhere.

“Shaak! Raman! You were hiding there!”

The man who appeared to be the leader of the lizardmen cried out to Raman.

Raman snorts as if he has a headache.

‘Looking at it this way, it really is a fantasy.’

Orcs and lizardmen fight, magic clashes with magic.

I realized anew that I was in a fantasy.

Of course, the most fantastic thing is yourself.

Hyunseong approached Raman.

“Why did those guys come here? What kind of grudge do they have?”

“They know about the existence of this barrier and are trying to take it away.”

Because it was a safe place that had not been discovered by the Awakened for a long time.

He had been waiting for an opportunity to safely expand his power here.

Hyunseong seemed to think for a moment and then gritted his teeth.

“It’s a bit much to call it an apple that broke the barrier, but I’ll help you.”

“There is a place for a skeleton…”

Raman was about to say no.

However, I swallowed my words without realizing it because of the energy that was slowly emanating from Hyunseong.

‘What, what is it?!’

A feeling I’ve had for the first time in my life.

But more than ever, his instincts were sounding the alarm.

You shouldn’t touch that.

When I heard that my nephew Rashi had Skeleton as his teacher, I wondered if I was in my right mind.

However, if this was the skeleton’s true form, then that statement was understandable.

As Hyunseong stepped forward, the giant lizardman let out a sharp roar.

“Shaaaak! What are you, Bone?”

Kwaaaa!

As the lizardmen’s magical powers began to stir, a huge stream of water rose from the river next to the village.

and,

“Die!”

Like a living snake, the water flow rushed towards Hyunseong.
