Monster Heavenly King - Chapter 49



Only Noblemtl

49. Misunderstanding (2)

I have to jump right into the cause of the scorched earth situation.

This meant that if the timing was off even a little, you could be hit head-on by that terrifying beam attack.

“Is revealing your weakness itself bait?”

-That’s it.

Even though I know your weaknesses, I can’t just back off and do nothing, right?

Hyunseong picked Seol-ah.

Between the rocks, a blue-burning gaze stared back at him.

and,

Flash!

A beam being fired.

I had a strange feeling and rolled to the side without thinking, but the beam blew up the spot where I was.

“What the hell is that thing shooting?! It’s freaking fast!”

-Magic Potion. It’s like Dragon Breath. The power is worlds apart though.

“How to stop it?”

-Can you neutralize it by using a magic gun or block it with magic?

For me, it was a method that neither of them could use.

In the end, it was like playing a shooting game where you had to approach the guy while avoiding his magic cannon.

The problem was that the aftershock alone was so powerful that it could blow your body away.

A situation where not a single mistake is allowed.

‘The only fortunate thing is…’

I guess I can’t fire that terrifying magic cannon continuously.

At that moment, as if reading his thoughts, magic cannons began to fire continuously from the golem’s chest.

“What the fuck?”

When I saw that sight, I couldn’t help but curse.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

-Since the golem doesn’t move quickly, if you keep your distance, it will just keep shooting its magic cannon for a while?

“That’s really valuable advice.”

If it were easy to access, we wouldn’t be going through all this trouble.

When I saw it without knowing anything, just avoiding it was overwhelming, but as I continued to avoid the magic cannons, information caught my eye.

‘There is a delay, but it is very short.’

A very small gap where magical power gathers.

It seemed that the stronger the power, the longer it took to collect it.

As Seol-ah said, it seemed like it was bound to take time because it was a matter of gathering magical power and shooting it.

‘The problem is that it’s too short.’

It took less than a second to gather them briefly, and about two seconds to gather them long.

From the perspective of the person being affected, it must have been like hell.

Hyunseong dodged the golem’s magic cannon and gradually got closer.

However, getting closer did not solve everything.

‘Timing is everything.’

We must be very careful as we have to directly attack that nuke that fires magic cannons.

The distance between Hyunsung and Golem is only 3 chapters.

Now we have reached a distance where we can close it in one breath.

at that time,

Gulp gurgle.

The golem’s chest began to close.

The golem’s core, which had been emitting blue light, disappeared into the rock, and the creature began to walk towards me, dragging its huge body.

“Hey, what is this?”

-What fool would expose his nukes when the enemy is close enough to attack?

“If we do this, we won’t be able to attack the nukes.”

-It’s not that hard.

“You say it’s a weakness.”

-It’s true that the nucleus is a weak point.

“What a conman…”

I never would have guessed that they would set up a trap like this.

Wouldn’t it be worthwhile to think about Seol-ah’s words one more time in the future?

Kwung, thump.

A huge body was approaching him, shaking the ground.

If this happens, there are three ways.

First, shake off the hand and run away.

It was the simplest way.

If I didn’t catch this guy, I wouldn’t be losing anything, so there was no need to go through all that trouble to catch him.

The second is to remove the cap surrounding the core and attack the core.

‘Of course it’s not an easy way.’

Breaking a rock, let alone cutting it, was not as easy as it sounds.

And the third way is-

‘Rush in at the right time to fire the magic cannon from a distance.’

When I first saw it, it took a moment for my chest to close.

Predicting the path to dodge the magic cannon, then rushing to the golem in one breath to attack its core.

It had to be done in a single moment without a single mistake.

‘Any way is difficult except the first one…’

Hyunseong stroking his chin.

The golem, which had come within striking distance of him, swung its huge arm.

BANG!!

A cloud of dust rising.

The ground shook so much that I thought an earthquake had occurred.

A huge crater had been created where Hyunseong had just been.

“This is incredible.”

Although it is made of rock, its destructive power is beyond comprehension.

Hyunseong swung Seol-ah around as if he was trying to check something and hit the golem’s arm.

Kaang!

A loud sound echoing through the forest.

Hyunseong thought that it was as expected from the feeling he felt in his hand.

‘It’s usually harder than rock.’

It would be impossible to penetrate this and attack the nuke with one’s current strength.

The reason Hyunseong was comfortable on the 3rd floor was because the system level was suitable for the 3rd floor and his skills were good.

If you ask other Awakened people to conquer the 3rd floor under the same conditions, most of them will say it is impossible.

‘And so…’

This kind of brute force method was difficult to use.

-What if I use a sword?

“Geomgang isn’t the name of a dog.”

In the case of the lizardman mage, it might be possible to use it for a moment, but his internal energy was not enough to use it until the core was revealed.

The reason why he had never suffered from a lack of internal energy until now was because he had used it without wasting an inch, and he had never had a single moment of leisure.

In that situation, Hyunseong clicked his teeth as if he was rather happy.

‘It’s fun.’

How long has it been since I felt a lack of pure strength that could not be solved by skill?

I was actually thinking that things have been a bit boring lately.

This situation itself set me on fire.

“good.”

Hyunseong muttered as if he had made up his mind and then distanced himself from the golem.

The guy suddenly opened the distance as if he was about to attack, then stopped and looked at me.

“What are we going to do about this?”

With the distance this far apart, the golem has only one option left.

All it took was opening the lid on the nuclear device.

Kugung.

A blue core appears with the sound of stones grinding.

As he aimed at himself, magical power began to gather.

At the perfect time, I kicked the ground without hesitation.

‘now!’

A new type of Hyunseong that disappears when you step on the ground.

A storm came a beat late in the place where he had just been standing.

The gap with the golem is quickly closing.

The golem fired all of its accumulated magical power as if it could not stop in the middle.

Boom!

A magic cannon approaching you.

And, as it was fired, it was seen wrapping around the nuke.

It was a fleeting moment, but it felt slow because my concentration was at its peak.

‘If we avoid it like this, it will be too late.’

Avoid the magic cannon, endure its aftershocks, and when you’re done, the golem’s core will have already disappeared into the rock.

If so, there is only one way left.

‘I have to throw it away!’

The power of the magic gun is enormous, but isn’t it just a skill?

There was no reason not to cut it.

The problem is that if you fail, it doesn’t end with just taking damage.

I kicked the ground once more.

Looking at that sight, it was as if a giant magic cannon was swallowing up Hyeonseong.

Hyunseong swung his sword at the magic cannon that came right up to his nose.

Then,

-What is this?

Just as a river that flowed as one split into two, the magic cannon split left and right with Hyeonseong at the center.

Seol-ah let out a voice of disbelief at the sight she saw for the first time.

and,

‘One more time!’

The fight is not over yet.

Because cutting the magic cannon was just a process.

Hyunseong kicked the ground once again.

The golem’s core is getting closer and closer.

Rocks were approaching from the left and right, trying to surround the core.

I raised my arms high to attack the approaching Hyunseong, butㅡ

‘Slow down!’

The first thing that happened was that Hyunseong’s sword extended towards the core.

Cheonmasingong (Heavenly Demon Divine Art).

Cheonhyeol (Heavenly hole).

Seol-ah reached the core by cutting right between the two rocks that were trying to surround it.

and,

Kwaaang!

It’s not just a nuclear strike, it’s a stab of the mind that pierces through in one breath.

The golem suddenly stopped with its hand raised high as if about to attack.

[Level up.]

[Level up.]

[Level up.]

“Oh? This is the first time I’ve gotten three.”

Up until now, I’ve only climbed so far to two.

As expected, the experience points given by the area bosses seemed to be on a different level.

at that time,

-I’m sorry for making you happy. If you don’t dodge, you’ll get hit by a rock and break something.

“Huh? What are you talking about?”

The moment I asked that, I felt a sense of discomfort.

I defeated the golem, but why is its corpse still there?

The moment I realized that,

Kkuruk.

The golem’s form began to crumble.

Even the hand raised high to attack oneselfㅡ

“What?!”

Kuung!

It hit the ground with a heavy sound.

Hyunseong spits out curses and quickly distances himself.

“No, why doesn’t it disappear?”

If I had made a mistake, I could have ended up getting injured even though I won.

Since all the guys I’ve defeated so far have disappeared, I haven’t even thought about suspecting them.

-Golems are, strictly speaking, monsters made up of only cores. So if they disappear, only the cores are gone.

“Only nukes? Then what about rocks?”

-If we were to compare rocks to animals, would we say they are like hair?

“What? So you’re going to shed some stones like a mole?”

-Oh, it takes a long time, but I do it.

“… … ”

I asked as a joke, but you really did it.

I couldn’t even imagine how they would do a stone grinder.

-The golem’s core changes to adapt to its environment. If it’s in fire, a golem covered in fire is created, and if it’s in water, a golem covered in water is created.

“Did you wrap rocks around your body because all there were here were trees and rocks?”

-That’s it.

“Is that a good thing?”

Since the golem was made of rock, it only had a magic cannon as a long-range weapon, but if it had been made of something like fire or water, it might have been more difficult to deal with.

I thought it would be difficult to be on the 3rd floor, but thinking about it that way, I would say it was just the right level.

‘But, it’s a fire attribute golem.’

Could it be that the Ifrit that he released on the first floor was a similar case?

When I asked Seol-ah, I heard her voice looking quite surprised.

-Efreet? That’s not really a golem, it’s an evolved form. But, there was something like that on the first floor?

“I said I was caught by humans.”

-Wherever you go, humans are the problem.

Hyunseong defeated the golem among the fallen rocks and picked up the items it had found.

And, Hyunseong looks at the Awakened people lying around.

“Should I take these too?”

Awakened ones who had already been defeated by Golem before he arrived.

If we leave it like this, vagrants will come and take it all.

Hyunseong tried to pack the equipment they were wearing appropriately.

It’s a hassle to put everything in my bag, so I just wear something like a robe around my body.

“hmm?”

There is a sound of something quickly approaching this way.

The man who emerged from the bushes was showing off his hostility towards us without any hesitation.

“You dare to… my men…”

He tried to say what I meant, but then realized his situation and was unable to say anything.

The Awakened is someone who is dead and stripping off their items while wearing a robe over their head.

Moreover, the fallen ones are the subordinates of the man who appeared.

A situation that would make anyone suspicious no matter who saw it.

How many people would believe me if I told them I was dead when I got here?

“What the hell.”

Even if things went wrong, it seemed like they went wrong properly.
