Monster Heavenly King - Chapter 56
Only Noblemtl
56. The Witch’s Forest (7)
The law of amity moved as if it did not have time to explore.
Boom!
As soon as I stepped on the ground, the new model disappeared with the sound of a shell exploding.
Shhhhhh!
At the same time, a sound of wind cutting through the air was heard.
The scattered black energy was suffocating him from all directions.
Not only was it fast, it was also a deadly attack that targeted only vital points.
‘It’ll be hard to avoid.’
In the end, I had no choice but to lift Seol-ah up and defend her.
A friendly method of linking the next attack as soon as the sword is blocked.
‘As expected, you have considerable skill.’
It was just as he had expected.
Even if you look at the level of the law of friendship, it is clear that he is not far behind his past self.
If I had been in Gupailbang instead of Cheonmasingyo, wouldn’t I have been in the position of Jangmunin?
‘The only fortunate thing is…’
The martial arts he used were ones that Hyunseong knew.
If he had been learning a martial art he had never seen before, he would have had a hard time just blocking his attacks by now.
Kaang! Kang!
Hyunseong barely manages to block the attack of the Friendship Law.
He looked at it and furrowed his brow.
‘I’m blocking critical hits accurately.’
The skull seemed like a sturdy castle, impenetrable to the sword.
He was not fooled by the first attack, and while he let minor attacks that would cut off his bones go, he blocked attacks that tried to cut off his legs or arms amazingly.
‘How can a skeleton display such martial arts skills?’
Who gave these teachings, and how do we build up our inner strength?
It was hard to believe that the skeleton had created its own martial arts skills.
‘It’s definitely great. It’s great, but…’
It wasn’t enough to beat myself.
Although he is skilled at defense, he is clumsy when it comes to attacking.
If we take advantage of that gap, we can finish it in one go.
Kaang!
Swords clashed with swords.
Hyunseong, who was aiming for a counterattack from the beginning, linked the first attack.
Then the tip of the sword shook and numerous sword energies rushed towards the friendly law.
A sight that looked like countless meteors were pouring down from the sky.
The friendly law secretly exclaimed in admiration.
If that black energy wasn’t directed at me, I would have said it was beautiful.
“Ugh!”
With a short shout, a mist rose from the Sword of Friendship.
Wow wow wow!!
The aura that rose from his sword soon became a storm and swept through the area.
Hyunseong’s sword was also swept away in the storm.
The moment when your diet breaks down.
Woo Ho-beop, who thought that was when he would be most vulnerable, rushed at Hyun-seong without hesitation.
but,
‘now!’
Until then, it was all Hyunseong’s trick.
The moment when the other person thinks they know everything about you and rushes to you.
There’s never been a better time to take advantage of an opportunity.
Hyunseong swung Seol-ah while raising his internal energy.
“What?!”
A bewildered voice came out of the mouth of the friendly law.
The black energy that had filled all directions to attack Hyunseong was scattered into the air against his will.
furthermore,
‘The martial arts used have also changed.’
Until just now, he had been showing some unskilled parts here and there in his movements, but now he was displaying perfect movements in which even he could not find a single flaw.
And somehow, I had a feeling I had seen that herbivore somewhere.
Heavenly Demon God’s Work
Reverse Heaven Sword
Hyunseong’s new form seemed to have become blurry, but he was already positioned behind the Uho Law.
and,
“Huh?!”
Woohoo Law grabbed his right shoulder and let out a groan of pain.
Looking at the blood flowing out, it seemed like there was a serious wound.
‘Tsk, I was going to cut off your arm.’
Even in that sudden situation, Wooho Law calmly blocked Hyunseong’s sword and minimized the damage.
After puncturing several acupoints, the blood flow stopped.
It’s only a temporary measure, but it will suffice for now.
The moment I sighed and tried to regain my composure.
“Can you stop doing that in other people’s front yards?”
Elena’s voice was heard.
Elena, with her arms crossed, was already within arm’s length.
The noisy surroundings became quiet in an instant when she appeared.
The gaze of the law of friendship was turned towards her.
“Are you the master of the forest?”
“I don’t intend to claim ownership, but I would appreciate it if you would do so. So, what’s this mess?”
She looks around with indifferent eyes.
It seemed like he didn’t even care who the lawmaker was.
“I was tracking down the enemies of the Cheonmasingyo.”
“It seems like the status of the Cheonmasingyo has changed a lot since I last saw it. They come in droves like this just to catch one skeleton.”
The teacher, who was furious at her words, tried to say something, but Woo Ho-beop raised his hand and stopped him.
“I have no intention of fighting with you. I’ll just grab the skeleton and retreat.”
“What if I refuse?”
Woohobeop frowned at her smiling face and glanced at Hyeonseong.
As if he knew what was going on.
“Did you make that up?”
Little is known about Elena other than that she resides in the Witch’s Forest.
There are just rumors going around that she’s a mad scientist who does all sorts of experiments with monsters.
For someone like her, it wouldn’t be impossible for her to create the skeleton in front of her.
Elena neither confirmed nor denied the speculation about such friendly relations.
“Well? What do you think?”
“… … That bastard killed a teacher of our Cheonma Sect.”
“Really? That’s really sad news. But, what’s the big deal about dying to a monster in a labyrinth?”
“… … ”
“Skeletons are monsters too, aren’t they?”
Woohobeop looked around, thinking that he would not be able to communicate any longer.
The pursuit force is in a state of ruin as they fight off monsters.
Besides, it was nothing short of crazy to bring them, who weren’t even combat personnel, to fight Elena.
Ultimately, there was only one conclusion that the law of amity could reach.
“…Your Majesty, please step aside.”
“What did that woman say?”
Having just arrived on the third floor, he couldn’t understand the situation.
What on earth is the woman in front of me saying that the Cheonmasingyo has to twist its tail like this?
Elena heard those words and opened her mouth with a beautiful smile.
“Oh my, you still don’t know the leader of the Cheonmasin Church?”
“what?”
Kugugung.
The magical power that rose from Elena weighed down on my shoulders.
It felt like the first time I encountered Cheon-Gwae-Jisul.
“Before I was called a witch, people in this area called me a crazy bitch.”
I tried to resist the magic that was rushing in like a tidal wave, but the difference was too great.
A friendly method to intervene between the sect leader and Elena and break the pressure.
“Enough, let’s go back today.”
“It would have been better if you hadn’t said that today. I really don’t want to get involved with you.”
“…Let’s come again next time.”
After leaving those words, Woohobeop disappeared, taking the young leader and the better members of the Cheonmasingyo Church with him.
All signs of their presence disappeared, and Elena sighed.
“You said you were going hunting, but you ended up being hunted. What the heck is going on?”
“No, somehow…”
When I told her the general story of what happened, Elena nodded as if she understood what happened.
“Well, it’s been known for a long time that the Cheonmasingyo guys are idiots.”
The Cheonmasingyo was so persistent that it made you wonder why they were going this far just because of one teacher.
Of course, it wasn’t because they cared about the teachers, but because they just wanted to let them know how dangerous they were.
“But, the Cheonma Shingyo guys are a bit stronger than other Awakened ones. I guess it wasn’t a lie when you said you were confident in your skills.”
“… … Those guys are strong? Not the friendly law or the small religious leader?”
“Compared to awakened people of the same level, the Cheonmasingyo guys are above average.”
It was so absurd that I was speechless.
Not only is the skill of swinging a sword poor, but these guys don’t even know the difference between a sword and a dagger. They’re above average.
How can that be?
“Then who are the people below average?”
“They’re guys who haven’t learned any martial arts or physical skills.”
These are the guys who only cast damage with the system without any control.
According to Elena, those guys make up the majority of the Awakened.
When I heard those words, I felt like the world was turning upside down and was on the verge of destruction.
“But that guy just now was a friendly law? If it’s a friendly law, then that’s it, right? Directly under the Heavenly Demon.”
“that’s right.”
“… You really seem confident in your skills.”
If you’re in that position, you must be an Awakened who has reached at least the 5th floor.
To fight and win against such an awakened being.
“I didn’t win.”
It’s a bit much to say that we won with just one wound.
Besides, this side already had a lot of scratches on its bones.
If he had a body, wouldn’t the blood he shed have been more than his own?
“Anyway, don’t worry. As long as you’re in this forest, you’ll be safe.”
“What if we leave the forest?”
“I don’t know about that either.”
The third floor itself isn’t even his own territory.
As she spoke, something occurred to her mind and her eyes sparkled.
“Then how about you stay here? I can protect you.”
“I think that’s actually more dangerous.”
Instead of protecting you, wouldn’t they ask you to pay the ransom with your body?
Not in a sexual sense, but in a physical sense.
“Isn’t there a good way to avoid being tracked?”
“The simplest thing is to move the floor.”
“Oh, I see.”
If you move floors and the portal disappears over time, there will be no trace left, so tracking will be difficult.
I never thought of evading tracking like that.
“I used this method often because I was chased around before.”
“…”
What on earth has she been up to in the past?
Hyunseong scratched his head and became lost in thought.
‘I think it’s still too early to go to the 4th floor. Should I go to the 2nd floor?’
I said this to take a look at how things are going.
Come to think of it, what would be their reaction if we took Elena to the Orc Village?
It wouldn’t be a bad idea to take it sometime later.
“But, you’re really famous, aren’t you?”
I had a rough idea that she was strong, but it seemed like she was more famous than I thought.
That too, to a considerable extent.
She was proud and arrogant about her own praise.
“That’s about it.”
However, it didn’t seem like the rumor was going to be good.
It’s a rumor that lives up to its title.
In fact, she was called the master of the Witch’s Forest, and no guild would dare touch her easily.
“So when they first saw you, those bums knew that and attacked you anyway?”
“yes.”
I was amazed at his courage.
I want to ask what on earth you believed in.
I’ve never felt so touched by the idea that there are as many different types of idiots as there are people in the world.
While they were talking about a few things, Hyunseong suddenly had a question and asked her.
“Have you been to the 6th floor?”
“Huh? No.”
“No? Then you’ve only been to the 5th floor?”
If so, that would be strange.
If she had only been to the 5th floor, there would have been no need for the friendly law to be so humble.
Or maybe there’s something I don’t know about.
The moment she thought that, Elena opened her mouth.
“I’ve been to the 7th floor.”
“… … 7th floor?”
