Monster Heavenly King - Chapter 50



Only Noblemtl

50. The Witch’s Forest

A man draws his sword and slowly approaches her.

Judging by the man’s demeanor, as if he were about to rush in at any moment, it seemed like there would be no room for conversation.

“You’re a homeless person, and you’re touching the Cheonma Shingyo religion. You’re really out of your mind.”

“… … Cheonma Shingyo?”

Who would have thought that the name Cheonmasingyo would suddenly appear here?

Could it be that the man in front of me and the fallen men were also members of the Cheonma Sect?

‘If you think about it…’

I remembered that Sakong Hyun had said that the leader of the Cheonmasingyo sect was on the third floor.

The man in front of me didn’t seem to be the leader of the cult, but rather one of his subordinates.

The third floor is just as wide as the first and second floors, so I thought we wouldn’t meet unless we intended to, but I never thought we’d end up meeting like this.

“No, there is a situation here-”

“It’s too late to try to make excuses and say you didn’t know!”

A man swinging his sword as if he does not want to talk.

It seemed like we had no choice but to fight.

A storm of sword energy rises as a man swings his sword.

Hyunseong had a question mark above his head at the sight.

‘What is this?’

He was proud of himself as a Cheonma, or rather, as someone who had fought against all the enemies in the Cheonma Sect before he took the position of Cheonma, and he knew their martial arts better than anyone else.

If we just count the fights, I think I fought more with the Cheonmasingyo than with the Jeongpa.

However, the martial arts skills that were unfolding before his eyes were something he had no memory of.

‘Is this a newly created martial art?’

How much time has passed since he disappeared?

It wouldn’t be strange at all if one or two new martial arts skills were created.

“Let’s take a look and see how great this martial arts is.”

Hyunseong clicking his teeth as if he was having fun.

Amidst the dazzling rush of sword energy, an attack that approaches stealthily.

What you see on the outside is just a trick.

If it was your first time seeing it, you would be so captivated by its splendor that you wouldn’t be able to respond properly.

but,

“quite!”

The opponent was bad.

When Hyunseong accurately judged the truth and sent out the sword energy, the man made a shocked expression.

“…!”

Usually, we are so caught up in what we see that we fail to notice hidden attacks.

Most people only notice it when it’s right in front of them, and then quickly stop it.

But this was the first time that anyone had blocked this attack so quickly and so accurately.

The guy who was burning like fire sank as if cold water had been poured over him.

“… How do you know about our school’s martial arts?”

Indeed, do you think that Hyunseong destroyed it because he knew martial arts?

One of the talents that helped him rise to the position of a Heavenly Horse was his keen eye.

If even this had been impossible, he wouldn’t be here now and would have turned into a skeleton somewhere in the martial arts world.

“Your skills are lacking.”

We were so focused on emptiness and flashiness that we couldn’t properly hide the truth.

If the opponent had been a bit more skilled, he wouldn’t have noticed it so quickly.

A man gritting his teeth at comments that ignore him.

“You little brat! If you want to die so badly, I’ll give you what you want!”

The man’s magic surged along with lines that even a third-rate villain these days would not utter.

Hururuk.

Flames began to rise from the guy’s sword.

As the man unleashed his sword, additional flames were added to the rushing sword energy.

“This is kind of interesting.”

I never thought that not only the sword but also the sword spirit would be imbued with flames.

In order to imbue the sword with attributes in this way, it was impossible without achieving a certain level of certain mental techniques.

But it’s amazing that this is possible with just one skill.

Moreover, since it can be applied to any martial arts, its uses are endless.

‘Has it developed in this direction in the meantime?’

Just as he tried to mix martial arts and skills, it seemed that the Awakened had found skills that could have a synergistic effect with martial arts.

This one definitely has better cost-effectiveness.

‘I think I understand why people neglect martial arts.’

If you learn a skill, you can get the results of decades of training just by clicking and paying magic power, so who wouldn’t be tempted?

If he himself had been of a lower level, he would have been immersed in the convenience of the system and would have put martial arts on the back burner.

but,

“Die!”

“It’s because my skills are so lacking.”

It seemed like a synergy effect and no use at all.

The black spirit was more threatening than before, as it was covered in flames, but that was it.

If the man’s skills were at the level of Sa Gong-hyeon, he wouldn’t have been this relaxed.

‘It’s understandable that Sakonghyun would be worried.’

They say that Cheonmasingyo is a sinking ship these days.

Now that I see it with my own eyes, I think I understand why he said that.

Hyunseong lifted Seol-ah and clacked his teeth.

“I’m tired, so let’s finish quickly.”

If it had been another time, I might have played with her a bit more, but perhaps because I had just fought a golem a few minutes ago, fighting the man just felt boring.

Hyunseong swung his sword towards the flaming sword that was engulfing him.

Heavenly Demon God’s Work

Dark clouds dissipate

Kwagagagagagagang!!

A fierce storm arose, engulfing the flaming sword energy.

The storm, which had engulfed both flames and black energy, rose toward the sky like an ascending dragon, then dispersed and disappeared.

A man is bewildered by his own attack, which disappears without leaving a spark behind.

“What, what the heck is this…?”

What kind of skill are you talking about?

I’ve never seen anything like this among the wind-type skills.

No, it’s to the point where I really doubt if it’s the right skill.

When he saw the approaching Hyunseong, he took a step back without realizing it.

“I, I belong to the Heavenly Demon Sect! If you touch me—”

“Hey, it’s been a long time since I’ve heard that.”

That was what the guys who came to attack him were saying after they were defeated.

It’s not enough to beg for one’s life.

He himself was willing to talk.

That is, if the opponent doesn’t attack first.

The price paid for rushing into an opponent on the third floor without any questions or answers, thinking that he could not possibly be stronger than himself.

‘If I had been weak, I would have just died and that would have been the end of it.’

Literally, the law of the jungle.

Hyunseong then cut off the man’s neck.

Hyunseong mutters as he looks at the fallen, nameless Awakened One.

“Tsk, am I going to get annoyed again?”

No one knew better than him the tenacity of the Cheonmasingyo.

Although there are no witnesses, the Cheonmasingyo will use any means necessary to pursue them.

I wonder if I’ll be searching the third floor for a while.

“I don’t know.”

Worrying is like picking up spilled milk.

It’s not easy to come across it, so I’ll think about it when it happens.

Hyunseong, who thought so, packed up everything and returned to where his disciples were.

* * *

The place where Hyunseong left.

Soon after, several Awakened ones appeared.

They muttered in bewilderment at the sight unfolding before their eyes.

“How did this happen?”

As members of the Cheonmasin Church, they were performing the glorious role of searching for realm bosses to help the sect grow.

In the meantime, I came to check on the team that had lost contact, but I never thought they would all be wiped out.

‘Did you fight a golem?’

Looking at the scorched earth surroundings, it seemed to be the work of a golem.

Looking at the traces, it was clear that he had been killed by a golem.

Were they planning to catch the golem and pretend not to know?

Of all things, you’re touching the small religious things.

“You are blinded by greed.”

Excessive greed always leads to destruction.

but,

‘Then who defeated the golem?’

It was strange that the golem was down.

Besides, it was clear that the crew members had been attacked by the golem, but the leader was different.

He died after his throat was cut by a sharp sword.

And that too with just one sword.

That alone was enough to tell me that the monster wasn’t a golem.

“Your Majesty.”

“What’s going on?”

“I found traces of another person. But… the traces are a bit strange.”

“Is it weird?”

A man with a question mark above his head in response to his subordinate’s report.

But when I saw the traces myself, I understood my subordinate’s reaction.

‘The traces are too faint.’

Besides, the footprints were strange.

It’s to the point where you wonder if it’s really a person.

“Is this a bone mark?”

My head tilted on its own.

Even if you use your imagination to the max, it’s impossible to imagine that there’s a skeleton on the third floor, that they’ve defeated the Awakened Ones of the Heavenly Demon Sect, and that they’ve even captured a golem.

But, the only clue to this unknown incident.

“First, call the tracking team inside the labyrinth and trace this trace. As quickly as possible. Report any situation immediately and do not rush to anything.”

“all right.”

After his men left, the man looked at his beheaded leader again.

‘It’s too neat for a homeless person. And the traces around it—’

It looked very similar to the Cheonmasingong.

What is Cheonma Shingong?

A divine skill among divine skills that only Ja-man can master on top of Manma.

Only two people in the world learned this: Cheonma and Sogyoju.

There was no way that such traces of the Heavenly Demon God could be in such an unexpected place.

In the end, men-

“I must be mistaken.”

Rather than accepting the situation in front of me, I chose to turn away from the truth.

* * *

Hyunseong, who returned to where his disciples were, decided to move first.

Anyway, it had been a while since I had stayed here, so it was time to go somewhere else.

‘I wonder if I should stop by that guy, Kangcheol, for a moment.’

To repair Rashi’s broken path.

If you have any information about the 3rd floor of Gyeomsa Gyeomsa, please let me know.

Since I live on the third floor, I think I might have some good information.

“Guys, write this down.”

“Keruk.”

“Profit.”

Hyunseong hands Brin and Rash a robe that covers their entire bodies.

“Tell me where we’re going from now on,” said Rashi, snorting excitedly.

“Are you really going to change my ways?!”

“First, let me ask if it can be repaired.”

“Thank you!”

Rashi looks at himself with eyes of emotion.

I was so touched that I felt proud.

-You’re the one who broke it.

‘That’s why I’m saying there are a lot of useless words.’

Hyeonseong and his disciples headed to the blacksmith shop where the steel was, muttering like that.

When I arrived, it seemed like there were already passengers there.

‘We really did have guests.’

I thought to myself once again that it was a good idea to come wearing a robe.

If it weren’t for that, there would have been chaos by now.

“It’s a good sword.”

“Because the ingredients were good.”

“Here is the money.”

Kangcheol, who received the money, opened his mouth with a smile.

“Come back next time you find good ingredients.”

“Let’s do that.”

A man who leaves those words behind and passes by without even paying attention to them.

Hyunseong looked in the direction he had disappeared and muttered in displeasure.

“What about that guy with no bucket? Does he even take requests?”

“He comes here occasionally, and although he doesn’t have any cheap items, he always brings good ingredients.”

Since he wasn’t the type of person to go through everything one by one like a real person, he didn’t care and just accepted requests.

“What a young man doing.”

When I saw Kang Chul, who looked much older than me, speaking informally to me, I felt the Confucian dragon inside me stir.

“Judging by your attitude, you can tell that you are a child of a wealthy family.”

“Well, even the children of the children of the sect of Cheonmasingyo are not the children of ordinary families.”

Above all, it was one of the most prestigious guilds in China.

For a moment, Hyunseong wondered if he had heard wrong, so he asked again.

“…what?”

The guy who just left is the leader of the Cheonmasingyo cult?
