Monster Heavenly King - Chapter 48



Only Noblemtl

48. Misunderstanding

Hyunseong quickly shook off his obsession with 100 billion won.

It seemed that the fact that he had once sat in the position of Cheonma was not just a facade.

That Hyunseong was watching YouTube right now.

“That’s amazing.”

-What? A video?

Seol-ah asked as I unconsciously muttered while watching YouTube.

Hyunseong shakes his head from side to side at that question.

“No, this smartphone itself.”

It was a random thought, but it was interesting.

The fact that it can be used continuously without charging.

When I received it from Sakonghyun, I asked him how to charge it.

“You don’t really need to charge the latest smartphone with a magic stone. It will charge automatically as long as you are in the labyrinth.”

He said.

At that time, I just thought that I could use my smartphone and passed over the cutting-edge technology using magic stones as something amazing.

-Well, if you have a magic stone and a labyrinth-like place full of magic power, you can create a power engine that can be used semi-permanently.

“But, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a magic stone in the labyrinth?”

Up until now, I’ve killed countless monsters and gotten countless items, but none of them were magic stones.

If I had to pick one, Jeongsu would be the most similar…

“That doesn’t come out at all.”

If you use that, it won’t be profitable.

Judging from the fact that the Awakened Person we met on the first floor also had one, it probably isn’t that expensive.

As I was thinking that, I heard Seol-ah’s voice saying it was ridiculous.

-What are you talking about?

“what?”

-There’s no way a magic stone would come out on a monster.

“…then?”

-A beggar who digs in a mine.

“…?”

I was momentarily speechless at the method that was so different from what I had expected.

Wasn’t the original fantasy classic about killing monsters and obtaining magic stones?

When he said that, Seol-ah muttered in a tired voice.

-You were thinking of monsters as some kind of magic stone storage box? There’s no such thing as a demon.

“No, I didn’t think about it that way.”

A magic stone vault.

Isn’t the idea too terrifying?

When I told Seol-ah the source of my knowledge, she was convinced and her swordsman cried out in agreement.

-If you catch a monster, you get a magic stone. That’s a story you might think of in a human-centered world.

“Wasn’t the world you lived in centered around humans?”

-Although humans were strong because they were numerous, the world itself did not revolve around humans.

Elves, dwarves, merfolk, orcs, goblins, etc.

It was a world where numerous races lived in their own territories.

The concept of monsters and similar races is also something that humans have divided up.

-Orcs and goblins have enough intelligence to have a conversation, so why are they classified as monsters?

“Because there is no merit to talking?”

-That’s it.

If there is no gain, then there is no movement.

I thought that wherever people live, they are all really similar.

“It’s a mine.”

If the monsters had magic stones, there would have been one or two Awakened players who could comfortably move around on the lower floors, like the 1st or 2nd floor.

I finally thought I knew why it wasn’t there.

Then suddenly my vision shook.

Hyunseong clicked his teeth as if nothing had happened.

“Brinah.”

“Keruk!”

“It’s shaking.”

“Keruk…”

Hyunseong was lying on a rock that was larger than a person.

And further down, his disciple Brin was sweating profusely.

Brin’s arms were shaking as if he would collapse at any moment, but he gritted his teeth and held on.

-By the way, that’s a pretty ignorant way of training. Was it called the Heavenly Demonic Art? Do all those who learn it train like this?

‘How could that be?’

I had never experienced such an ignorant training method before.

Even in the entire martial arts world, there are probably only a few who would choose such a crazy training method.

-…? Then why are you doing this?

Considering the weight of the rock, carrying it on your back and training your body is tantamount to suicide.

However, this was something I brought upon myself.

Because he suddenly came and said that he wanted to become strong enough to beat Lee Su-ho quickly.

‘Where can I quickly become stronger in martial arts?’

Even though he is a master, how can he recommend magic to his disciple?

The answer was to train consistently every day, killing two birds with one stone.

He said that he would become stronger and faster in the future because he had evolved, but he seemed dissatisfied.

‘So, as a joke, I taught him some training methods that I only saw in comics…’

I was afraid that it would just get tired and fall apart.

However, he was actually completing that hellish training that would have killed him a hundred times over if he were a human.

Even seeing results.

‘How on earth did the body structure come to be?’

Was the world that Seol-ah lived in one where all these monsters were defeated and humans enjoyed prosperity?

Rather, that was more surprising.

at that time,

“Profit.”

A sound coming from the side.

When he turned his head, his second disciple, Rashi, was looking at him.

“Master.”

“Why is that?”

“Do I not have to do it like a death sentence?”

“… … ”

Hyunseong quietly looked at Rashi’s body.

The lower body standing on the ground was so solid that it reminded me of tree roots.

Even if you face off against a certain Awakened One, you won’t be shaken.

Next is the upper body, which looks sturdy enough to bring to mind a castle.

Wouldn’t it be possible to split most things in two with just one blow using only pure physical strength, without using any magic or internal energy?

“No, you’re fine.”

Even if Rashi were to train his body like Brin, the results would not be dramatic and would be minimal.

In that case, it would have been better to swing the sword at least once more.

How can we teach them the same way when we have different things and learn different things?

“Now is not the time for you to train your body, but to practice your mind.”

The true secret of Pacheondo lies in the mind method, not in the vegetarian method.

Taesanapjeong is just a vertical cut, Hoengsocheongun is a horizontal cut, and Seoninji is a stab.

This is something that anyone can do without having to learn how to cook.

‘I was hoping that he might understand the hidden meaning of the word ‘herbivorous’…’

It seemed like too much for a guy who was just starting out in martial arts.

“Profit.”

At Hyunseong’s words, Rashi sat cross-legged again without a single doubt and began practicing the mind method.

From his point of view, Rashi seemed more amazing than Brin.

It wouldn’t be easy to blindly trust yourself as you watch Brin’s skills grow day by day.

“Laugh.”

Hyunseong coming down from the rock.

Only then did Brin put down the rock on his back and begin to rest.

“Then just rest.”

“Keruk… .”

Hyunseong looks around, leaving his disciples behind.

As I climbed up to the treetop in one breath with the light lift, the vast mountain range came into view.

As I looked at the mountain range, the conversation I had just had with Seol-ah came to mind.

“There might be a magic stone mine somewhere around here?”

-maybe?

“It would be a jackpot if I could find just one.”

Isn’t this equivalent to discovering genetics in a time when there were no labyrinths?

That steel nobleman may have had such financial power because he owned a magic stone mine.

When I had free time, I was looking around and thinking about finding a magic stone mine.

Kuung!

The ground shook with a huge bang.

On the side where the sound came from, trees were falling as if a bomb had exploded.

A loud explosion that doesn’t end with just one explosion, but continues to erupt and reverberate throughout the mountains.

“They’re fighting quite fiercely… Is that a territory boss?”

Even if you fight a normal monster on the third floor, you won’t hear such an intense sound.

However, Seol-ah’s voice was heard as if her expectations were wrong.

-Can you feel the flow of magic? Not just one, but quite a bit.

“okay?”

Does that mean the Awakened are fighting each other?

I had a feeling that maybe the homeless were attacking the Awakened.

-I’ve been thinking about this for a while, but it would be quite annoying to be around you.

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

-No, whether it’s a coincidence or not, it’s just that there are always incidents and accidents happening nearby. Just look at it now.

I just climbed up a tree to look around, but isn’t it blatantly advertising, “Come here?”

This isn’t the first or second time something like this has happened, but it happens every other day, so even Seol-ah can’t help but be shocked.

-Among all the users in history, there are only a handful who have caused this many accidents. Is that something to be proud of?

“I’m not proud at all.”

In the end, isn’t it just that annoying things keep getting tangled up?

It was not a welcome sound at all.

-Isn’t there anyone else like me who would suit this level?

“I never said anything else in the first place.”

-So what’s going to happen this time?

“You don’t listen to me.”

Besides, isn’t he talking as if he’s already certain that he’s going there?

I had no intention of going at all.

I thought about not going for a moment, but if I did, I would be complaining and bothering myself for a while.

and,

‘I can’t block it because I don’t have a mouth.’

It will be entirely up to you to bear that grumbling.

Hyunseong sighed softly as if he had no choice and headed towards the direction where the explosion had occurred.

‘Let’s just check what’s going on and get out.’

I don’t know if it will work out the way I want it to, though.

.

.

.

Where the explosion had been heard, a rather gruesome scene unfolded.

It really felt like a bomb had gone off.

Most of the nearby trees were broken and the ground was deeply dug up.

“How on earth did they fight to make this mess?”

Awakened ones lying here and there.

It seemed like he was already dead, as he wasn’t even moving.

And the reason is-

Gulp…

Maybe that giant rock.

The rocks were clumped together to form a shape that resembled a person.

“Is it a golem?”

I’ve seen golems made of bone before, but this was the first time I’ve seen one made of plain stone.

“Kururururuk…”

An ogre happened to be passing by nearby.

The guy looked at the golem and walked away carefully, trying not to make a sound.

“Hey, did you see that just now?”

-uh.

Who would have thought that the ogre, who would attack anyone he met without asking any questions, would be so strong and weak and weak and strong?

“Well, even at first glance, he looks like he doesn’t want to fight.”

The skin was as hard as a rock, so it seemed like not only physical damage but also skills wouldn’t be able to penetrate it properly.

Plus that size.

If you get hit properly, even an ogre won’t be safe.

-The Golem is a tricky one to deal with.

“If it’s someone like that, it’s probably a territory boss…”

Hyunseong stroked his chin and became lost in thought.

It’s a rare encounter with a boss in the area, so should I catch it?

I asked Seol-ah just in case.

“Hey, doesn’t the golem have any weaknesses?”

-Yes.

“Oh, what is it?”

-Just destroy the core.

“… … ”

Isn’t this the same thing as saying that if you want to kill a person, you should stab them in the heart?

Hyunseong looked at Seol-ah in his hands with pitiful eyes.

-No, the golem reveals its core at a certain timing!

“Oh, really?”

If that’s the case, then there’s no need to cut that huge rock.

Hyunseong tried to run towards the golem without hesitation.

Kururung.

The golem’s gaze turned towards him, making a heavy sound.

The golem’s chest, which was looking at him, burst open.

“Oh, is that a nuclear weapon?”

-That’s true, but…

As soon as we met, he showed me his nuclear weapon and asked me to catch him.

The moment I was about to run towards it, thinking it was an absurd monster.

-be careful!

“what?”

ping!

A beam shot out from the golem’s gaping chest before he had time to hear an answer to his question.

I instinctively jumped backwards.

Boom!!

Although he managed to avoid a direct hit, he was unable to withstand the aftershock of the explosion and was blown away.

Now I think I know why the area around the golem was like this.

Hyunseong, who had flown far away, was lying in the bushes and his teeth were chattering.

“Hey, I’m just asking just in case, is there a specific timing for revealing the nuke?”

-That’s when.

“What the fuck.”
