Monster Heavenly King - Chapter 41



Only Noblemtl

41. 3rd floor

There is only one most important and absolute law in the Cheonmasin religion.

The strong survive.

It was a law that even the Heavenly Demon, the master of the Heavenly Demon Sect, could not avoid.

‘If you weren’t strong to begin with, you wouldn’t have been called a Heavenly Horse.’

Anyway, what Hyunseong was thinking of was to create an organization that would be evaluated based on ability, not on races like humans or monsters.

In that respect, there is no place more suitable than Cheonmasingyo.

Because everyone is equal before the god Cheonma.

‘however…’

I never thought I would run into such trouble as soon as I started.

Seol-ah clicked her tongue as if she felt sorry after hearing his thoughts.

-There’s no way that a great unification that transcends races will be easy.

None of those who have held it in their hands for a long, long time have ever achieved it.

There were times when they fought against other races, drove them out, or conquered them and unified the continent.

-The strong are the ones who are respected in the first place. Are the weak just going to be persecuted?

‘No, what are you talking about?’

The term ‘strong self-respect’ is only a word, and means being treated according to one’s ability.

If it was natural for people to die because they were weak, the organization called Cheonmasingyo would not have even been established.

Whether they were guardians or elders, they were all weaker than the Heavenly Demon, so they would have had to die.

‘When I was a demon, I used to threaten people like that a lot.’

When the elders kept exploiting the civilians and sucking the blood of the teachers, I said something to them and they kept saying that they were proud of the strong, so I beheaded several of them, saying that I would show them what true pride in the strong was.

-… If you killed him, wouldn’t that not be a threat?

‘The others became quiet after that. It was a threat.’

-… You’re quite something.

‘Well, why don’t I want to hear that from you?’

Even the strong would have made painstaking efforts to gain that power.

So, even though I didn’t tell you to practice noblesse oblige, shouldn’t you at least refrain from trampling on the weak?

If the Cheonma Sect had neatly given up when they escaped from the laboratory of the Manoe Pavilion, Hyeonseong would not have destroyed the Cheonma Sect and even beheaded Cheonma.

Because I would have just been looking for a way to go back quietly.

‘Anyway, isn’t there any good way?’

-It’s possible if my seal is released.

‘So you’re saying there isn’t any.’

That damn seal.

At this point, I was wondering how huge it had to be for them to sing the seal, seal song.

If I break the seal later and find that it’s different from what I said, I’ll melt it down in the furnace and make a new sword.

-Didn’t you just think something was terribly rude?

“I didn’t do it.”

Perhaps because I had lived for a long time, my senses seemed unnecessarily sharp.

“What about translation magic?”

-It’s not that it doesn’t exist… but it’s not something a beginner can learn.

“Ha, what don’t you have?”

I asked Sakong-Hyeon and Raman with a feeling of despair.

Raman shook his head in the negative, but Sa-gong-hyeon seemed to be thinking deeply about something and took out something like earphones from his pocket.

“What is that?”

“Um… To put it simply, it’s like a translator.”

“her?”

The labyrinth is a dungeon shared by the entire world.

It was a place where awakened people of various languages ​​came and went.

There are times when we don’t understand each other –

“That’s what it’s for. It’s not perfect, though.”

However, whenever I used it as something like telepathy to send my thoughts to the other person rather than translating words, it felt like it was draining my magic power.

Hyunseong is amazed.

“It’s the result of magic and science combined.”

“The world has developed so much. Who would have thought something like this would come out?”

Magic seemed like a combination of new and science, resulting in some pretty bizarre things.

I tried using it for a test, and it seemed to work well between the Awakened and the monsters.

Sa Gong-hyeon mutters in surprise.

“I never thought this would be possible….”

“Have you never used this on a monster before?”

“There is no need for that.”

“but.”

For the Awakened, monsters are like treasure chests that provide experience points and items.

There was no need to try and invest one’s magic power into an enemy, especially a monster one thought was impossible to communicate with.

At that moment, an interesting voice was heard.

-You used your head a lot.

If you listen to Seol-ah’s explanation, this isn’t complete either.

Because it was just a rough image of what he had in mind, sent through telepathy.

-You can think of it as being able to have simple, intuitive conversations. What do you think? When you look at it this way, do you understand how amazing I am?

“Don’t compete with the translator.”

Could this guy be a poor swordsman with a desire for recognition?

I felt like I needed to be a little warmer.

.

.

.

The biggest problem, the language barrier, has been somewhat resolved, so there weren’t really any other problems.

Hyunseong saw the orcs who had gone hunting outside the barrier return and explained the situation to them.

Then,

“Chwiik! Are we going to become strong like Rashi?”

“good night!”

“Chwiik! We will become even better warriors!”

I don’t know about anything else, but I felt really excited by the idea that I could become stronger.

I thought it would be annoying if the orcs opposed it, but they welcomed it with open arms.

It seemed like Rash had some propaganda power because he fought alongside other orcs.

“It must be easy to teach when you’re this motivated.”

The people assigned to the Black Wolf Corps from the Cheonmasingyo were always unenthusiastic.

How many people would try to work hard when they come to a unit that is always busy and is most ignored?

Since Black Wolf is considered to be a place to stay for a while before moving on to other places, he probably didn’t think it was necessary to study the Black Wolf Sword Techniques diligently.

“Well, you’ll be full of motivation. Motivation, you know.”

“…?”

It would be a little later before Sa-gong-hyeon would realize what he meant.

But when that time comes, I won’t be here.

“But… this orc…?”

Sakonghyun looked at Brin with a puzzled voice and asked.

The doubt is evident even in the voice.

They said it was an orc, but it looked completely different from an orc.

“This guy is not an orc, he’s a goblin.”

“… Oh, I see.”

Goblins in the Orc Village.

It was embarrassing, but I thought it could be possible.

However, Sa-gong-hyeon could not help but open his mouth at Hyun-seong’s subsequent words.

“And, my disciple.”

“…yes?”

“I am a disciple.”

“That, that word is-”

“Yes, this guy is the leader of the Cheonma Sect.”

Sa-gong-hyeon was unable to say anything to Hyun-seong’s words.

I promised myself that I would follow him and accept whatever happened.

‘Goblin cult leader.’

I couldn’t hide my shock because things beyond my imagination kept popping up.

If it had been an orc, I wouldn’t have been so surprised.

‘No, no.’

Sa-gong-hyeon shook his head and shook off his useless thoughts.

The Cheonma in front of you is undoubtedly the real thing.

If that’s the case, then if the Heavenly Demon says it’s red, then black is also red.

If a goblin is a cult leader, then he is a cult leader.

However, even though I thought that way, there was one question that I couldn’t shake off.

“What does that look like…?”

It didn’t look like the goblin he knew.

I assumed it would be an orc since it was in an orc village, but it’s a goblin.

If I had seen it in a different forest than this one, I would have thought it was a fairy.

-In some ways, that’s not wrong.

Goblins themselves could be considered a type of fairy.

Hyunseong answered that question calmly, clicking his teeth.

“It’s a complete transformation.”

“… … !”

A complete transformation that was only mentioned in legends.

Sa-gong-hyeon let out a sigh of admiration.

‘There’s no way that the Heavenly Demon would accept such a weakling as a cult leader.’

It must have been because he was of such quality that he became a sect leader.

Even without Hyunseong providing any further explanation, Sa-gong-hyeon was already working hard to come up with a convincing reason within himself.

‘Actually, that’s not so wrong.’

As we evolved, our bodies were completely reconstructed. If this isn’t a complete transformation, then what is it?

“And this is Rashi. Although he is not learning the Heavenly Demonic Art, he is also my disciple.”

“…Okay, my name is Sakonghyun. Please speak comfortably.”

Sa Gong-Hyeon speaks politely while kneeling on one knee.

Hyunseong clicked his teeth at Sagonghyun.

“You will live here and teach the orcs the Black Wolf Sword. If you need anything…”

I handed over the funds to be used in the labyrinth from the bag that Sa-gong-hyeon had given me.

“It’s okay to buy it even after using this.”

It was useless money to me right now.

Besides, it was something that Sa-gong-hyeon had given me anyway.

Even if I gave it back, there was no harm to me.

“My disciples and I will head to the third floor in two days.”

I thought about leaving my disciples here as well, but Brin and Rashi were not yet at the level where they could practice on their own.

The teacher must continue to watch over him from the side.

Sakonghyun opened his mouth as if something came to mind when he heard the word “third floor.”

“If it’s the third floor… I might be able to meet the cult leader.”

“Keruk?”

Brin tilted his head, wondering if someone was calling him.

Sa-gong-hyeon shook his head.

“I’m talking about the original leader of the Cheonmasin Church.”

“What? The head priest is on the third floor?”

“Yes, I heard that the Senate was very happy that you reached the third floor in just half a year since you awakened.”

“half a year?”

Hyunseong’s head tilted.

Because it didn’t even take half a year for me to get here.

If I hadn’t stayed here to restore the barrier, I would have reached the third floor a long time ago.

“That’s because Your Majesty is too fast.”

Originally, it would take nearly two years for an ordinary Awakened person to reach the third floor.

Even if the guild pushes for it, it will take about a year at the earliest.

Looking at it that way, half a year was an absurdly short period of time.

“Just as the second floor was different in difficulty from the first floor, the third floor is also quite different in difficulty from the second floor.”

Even if the Awakened One could easily defeat the monsters on the second floor, they would have to risk their lives fighting the mobs on the third floor.

How many people would want to continue fighting for their lives like that?

That’s why it was common for awakened players to level up until they had some overlap before moving on to the next floor.

“It’s truly unprecedented speed to reach the third floor in less than half a year without any help from the guild.”

“Hmm, is that so?”

He thought it was possible because he was an undead and hunted without sleeping or eating.

The two days passed quickly.

The village orcs came rushing to see them off when they said they were leaving.

“Chwiik! Brin! You are a great warrior! Don’t be discouraged just because you’re ugly!”

“Chwiik! A man’s face is not everything!”

“Keruk! Don’t worry. I’ll be back to my normal self.”

-No, that’s not necessary…

What can I do if he says he will do it?

As a teacher, Hyunseong had no choice but to cheer him on.

“Whoosh! Rashi! Next time you come, I’ll introduce you to my little brother!”

“Really!?”

“Really!”

“Is it pretty?”

“You’re pretty! Your little brother will like you too since you’re handsome!”

“Profit!”

This one even has a blind date arrangement.

Although they had only been there for a little over a month, the orcs were seeing them off like close friends.

but,

-There’s no one around you.

“You know even if I don’t say it?”

He didn’t go hunting together and was respectful to the chieftain Raman, so he had no contact with other orcs.

Then Raman came and handed me something.

“This is… an amulet?”

“Take advantage. If you have it, you can pass through the barrier.”

“but.”

You can’t break the barrier every time you try to enter here.

Now that I think about it, I remember the orcs having it.

Sakong Hyeon knelt on one knee and opened his mouth to greet politely.

“Heukrangdaeju Sagonghyeon. I will do my best to carry out my assigned duties until Cheonma-nim returns from the labyrinth.”

After receiving Sagonghyeon’s farewell, Hyeonseong and his two disciples left the Orc Village and headed to the third floor.
