Monster Heavenly King - Chapter 39



Only Noblemtl

39. Oak Village (6)

It was clear.

The same phenomenon that occurred when Brin evolved by eating Red Cap’s essence.

“Is this true?”

Hyunseong looked at Brin’s repeated appearance of swelling and shrinking as if he was about to burst in disbelief.

After evolving to level 16, its level has increased considerably, but it still shows no signs of evolving.

But the disciple who ate the essence evolved first.

“Is evolution this easy?”

-It wasn’t easy, but it was thanks to your help and Jeongsu’s.

“My help?”

What kind of nonsense is this?

Seol-ah, who had been watching everything from the side, spoke up.

-Because you helped me completely absorb the essence’s energy. Thanks to that, my physical capacity is full. If you hadn’t helped me, my evolution would have been delayed a bit.

“indeed.”

It’s not that it evolved because of the essence, but because it was time to evolve.

I knew what it meant.

but.

“Isn’t it too fast?”

It’s only been a few months since Brin evolved.

But it’s already evolved.

This wasn’t because his disciple evolved before him or anything like that.

It’s just that I thought that if I knew the conditions for evolution, I would be able to evolve more quickly.

-What are your true feelings?

‘My stomach hurts a little.’

Seol-ah, who was giggling at Hyun-seong’s sincere feelings, continued her explanation.

-The conditions for monster evolution are simpler than you think. When the magical power that the body can accept is saturated, it evolves using that magical power.

“Is that all?”

-That’s all. If it were just like that, it would take forever. How many years would it take just to stay alive? Another way would be to defeat monsters and eat them to increase the magical power in your body, but that’s not easy either.

When I heard it like that, it definitely seemed like that.

No matter how many enemies you defeat, there will be a limit to how much you can eat.

-In Brin’s case, it was possible to fill it up quickly thanks to you.

“No, I’ve only been hunting on the second floor for a few months?”

-Not that.

“…?”

-By learning the Heavenly Demon Art, you can now absorb the rich energy of the labyrinth just by breathing.

“ah”

Only then was Hyunseong able to fully understand.

Because internal energy and magical power have the same roots.

However, as Seol-ah said, there was one catch.

“Then me?”

-what?

“Then why can’t I evolve?”

The scams he had accepted in India have now almost all become his own.

Even if it evolved, shouldn’t it have happened a long time ago?

-I don’t know that either?

“… … ”

-No, really. This is such an exceptional case. In the first place, how do you absorb the labyrinth’s energy when you can’t even breathe? Where does the energy you absorb accumulate?

“hmm.”

The energy was absorbed into the bones, and the danjeon was created with will.

Seol-ah, who heard his explanation, spoke as if she didn’t understand English.

-What is that, making it with willpower? What is that, overcoming it with spirit?

“No, I don’t know how to explain this.”

It was difficult to explain the enlightenment itself to others, but the difficulty was even higher because Seol-ah had almost no knowledge of martial arts.

-Well, anyway, if what you say is true, there are two assumptions.

First, because the power was contained in a vessel created by the will of the sage, the physical body was not filled.

Second is…

-Is it because of the system?

“System?”

-They say it evolves automatically when it reaches a certain level?

“That’s right.”

-Then your evolution conditions are different from other monsters.

“… … ”

If Seol-ah’s words were true, then no matter how strong he became, he would not be able to evolve unless he reached the system’s set evolution level.

Rather, the system is holding back its own evolution.

-Unless we know the truth, this is just a hypothesis.

Even if it’s twisted, what makes it so twisted?

It seemed like things were really messed up because of the unique situation of the monster being awakened.

Hyunseong sighed softly.

“Tsk, can’t be helped.”

In fact, if you look closely, I benefited more from the system.

Not only did it save my life, but it also gave me a clue to a new martial art.

Anyway, evolution was able to happen someday.

That was when.

“Keruk.”

Brin let out a voice that said evolution was over.

Hyunseong looked back, thinking that it was quite a long evolution…

“huh?”

-her?

I blurted out a question without realizing it.

It was the same with the snow that hung on the waist.

Brin drew a question mark above his head at the harmony of a monster and a sword.

“Why are you doing that?”

“No, your face…”

“Keruk?”

Brin naturally brings his hand to his face.

And then, he felt something strange and started to touch his face.

Hyunseong, who was blankly staring at the sight, asked Seol-ah.

“Hey, what is this?”

-No, I don’t know either.

“Why do you not know so much? You speak as if you are a wise man who knows everything.”

-No, seriously, there’s something strange around you?!

The reason Hyunseong and Seol-ah reacted this way was none other than the evolved appearance of Brin.

Brin felt his face and headed towards the river as if he had to see it with his own eyes.

Brin spots someone reflected in the river.

and,

“…?”

Brin waves his hand while looking at the river.

Someone reflected in the river also waved his hand in the same way.

It was quite some time before Brin realized that the person reflected in the river was himself.

“Keruk?!”

-It’s natural to be surprised.

“Even the country would be surprised.”

Because the reflection of Brin in the river had changed from a goblin to a human, and a boy at that.

If it weren’t for his green skin color, you’d believe he was human.

Seol-ah seemed to be staring at Brin for a while, then rang the sword bell.

-I think it would be quite expensive if sold at the slave market?

“Don’t make strange comments about other people’s students.”

-No, no, really! I think ladies with special tastes would go crazy?! Especially the fact that he’s a boy with silver hair and slightly arrogant eyes!

“Is something a bit detailed? Are you…?”

-When you conquer a country, you dispose of its slaves. That’s how I came to know it naturally.

“… The reason is darker than I thought.”

I guess we’ll have to think about whether that’s true.

However, I thought I knew what Seol-ah was saying.

Because Brin’s changed appearance was definitely handsome.

If people saw it, they would have said that it would make a big girl cry.

I don’t know if it will be able to grow like a human though.

‘Maybe it’s because of the martial arts?’

-I can’t guess anything else than that.

It helps you evolve quickly and even changes your appearance to a more beautiful one when evolving.

In fact, I seriously thought that martial arts might have been created for monsters, not humans.

At that moment, Rashi was seen approaching, having finished his training.

“Master, what are you doing… A human?!!”

As soon as Rashi saw Brin, he lifted his sword.

I tried to swing it to split the head in one go,

“Keruk! Rashi! It’s me!”

Hearing Brin’s voice, he stopped in his tracks as he was about to swing his sword.

And Rashi tilts his head as if he doesn’t understand English.

“capital punishment?”

“Keruk.”

“What on earth is that appearance?”

“I don’t know. It just evolved…”

Brin kneels on the ground in despair.

He shouted as if he wanted to deny reality.

“How can I open my eyes and look at such an ugly sight! Keruuk!!!”

“… … ?”

-… … ?

Hyunseong and Seol-ah doubted their ears for a moment, wondering if they had misheard.

The words, “What an ugly sight!” almost came out of my mouth.

-They say I can’t even look at it with my eyes open.

I never thought aesthetic standards could differ this much.

So, how did you see yourself during that time?

-You don’t have a face. You’re just a skull.

“Oh, right.”

Because I was like this all along, I completely forgot about it.

Because I never got to see my own face while I was in the labyrinth.

Rashi approached Brin, who seemed to be wailing, and patted him on the back.

“Profit. Death penalty. My father used to say that a man’s face is not everything.”

“Keruk, even if you say that with that handsome face, it won’t be convincing.”

“… … ”

-… …

After all, Rashi seemed to have a rather handsome face by goblin standards.

It seemed like it was true, as Rashi didn’t even refute it.

Is there some kind of aesthetic commonality between orcs and goblins?

‘Is this really the world turning upside down?’

-It’s going backwards by our standards. It’s normal for them though.

I felt like I learned a lot of new things today.

.

.

.

Bryn’s appearance changed and there was an uproar in the orc village.

Brin, who had been depressed for a while, was energized by Hyunseong’s words.

“Keruk!!!”

-If I evolve again, I can return to my original form. Is that true?

‘How would I know?’

He was only talking about possibilities.

I didn’t even know if I could really go back.

In the first place, the fact that appearance changes while evolving was an unknown phenomenon.

-He’s a scammer.

‘That’s a white lie.’

However, wouldn’t that be enough if the disciple could rise again?

Hyunseong approached Brin, who was burning with motivation.

“Bryn. So, how are you?”

“I feel lighter than before.”

Brin’s body changed once more, becoming a body more suitable for learning martial arts.

It definitely felt like the movement itself was different from before.

I was also able to use my internal energy more smoothly.

“I would have been happy if only my appearance wasn’t like this…”

“… … ”

“I will try to return to my original form, Master!”

“… … Okay. Work hard.”

Since I couldn’t bring myself to tell him that he looked better now, all I could do was cheer him on.

“I’m going hunting with Rashi, what are you going to do, Master?”

“You guys go your separate ways. If we hunt, I’ll just be a nuisance.”

The monster on the second floor was something I could wipe out in an instant, but if I caught it, its body would disappear.

So, I couldn’t get involved in going out to get food.

‘All I can do is…’

Is it just to block intruders from outside?

Although it wasn’t on the scale of the lizardmen’s invasion, other monsters would often invade through holes in the barrier.

As Rash and Brin went out with the orcs and wandered around the village, Seol-ah rang the sword bell as if something had occurred to her.

-So, when are you going to the 3rd floor?

“I’m thinking about going when I get out of town.”

Now it was time for the barrier to be restored.

I approached Raman, who happened to be in sight, and asked him.

“When do you think the barrier will be restored?”

“I think it will take two days at the latest.”

“okay?”

They said it would take a month, but it was faster than expected.

Because it was a week earlier than scheduled.

“Because you helped me in many ways so that I could focus on restoring the barrier.”

“Well, that’s good.”

At that moment, a sound was heard from the entrance to the barrier.

A bell that rings when an intruder enters.

Could it be that they are attacking now that most of the orcs have escaped?

“Well then, let’s loosen up a bit.”

Hyunseong gritted his teeth and headed towards the village entrance.

And what I saw there was-

“Your Majesty, Cheonma?”

It was Black Wolf Lord Sakong Hyeon.
