Monster Heavenly King - Chapter 62
Only Noblemtl
62. Party (3)
Even though they had been through all kinds of situations, Hyeonseong and Seol-ah were unable to say anything.
I never thought I’d hear those lines spoken out loud.
“Oh, please, just my sister…”
It was heartbreaking to see him desperately hugging Han Ji-hyun while trembling.
Instead of approaching him, I clenched my teeth in an attempt to clear up the misunderstanding.
Let’s calm Han Ji-soo down and explain our situation.
“I’m… sorry.”
She bowed her head, her face bright red as if it would burst, and muttered an apology.
What on earth did he say without knowing the circumstances?
If I could go back in time, I would sew my own mouth shut.
‘But who would have expected this situation!’
Nine times out of ten… no, ten if it’s ten.
All awakened ones will be mistaken.
Even though I knew it was rude, I couldn’t help but look at it.
“Profit?”
When he felt eyes on him and turned his head towards her, he avoided eye contact.
Her fallen older sister caught her eye.
“Ah! Sister!”
Han Ji-soo urgently checked her sister’s condition.
There were no visible injuries, but she had no intention of getting up.
“There doesn’t seem to be any wounds, is it poison?”
“Yes, I was trying to attack the area where the boss was when I suddenly got shot from behind.”
Since he was taken by surprise by the party he was supposed to trust and rely on, he probably couldn’t do anything.
Han Ji-soo sighed in relief after confirming that there was no danger to her life.
“So, why were you guys having a bum party?”
“I really didn’t know you were a vagabond!”
According to her, she met the homeless people on the first floor through a party-finding app.
“First floor? The vagrants were on the first floor?”
“He’s a wanted criminal, but if you cover your face or something, you won’t know…”
“You saw it, right?”
“Because there are so many homeless people.”
“but.”
There are more than one or two vagrants.
It would be difficult to recognize him right away unless there was a wanted poster next to him.
We had been hunting together as a normal party for a few times, but while we were clearing the 4th floor, he suddenly said he had to go urgently and tried to disband the party.
The sisters, who had just arrived on the 4th floor, had no choice but to ask why, and the vagabonds pretended to be defeated and leaked the information that they had found Indun on the 3rd floor.
“He suddenly asked me to go with him there…”
“You took the bait.”
“yes…”
It was a typical scammer’s tactic.
After seeing each other a few times and building up some trust, he just takes everything away.
I didn’t really intend to blame them though.
It’s true that you should have been careful, but isn’t it the fault of the person who committed the fraud, not the victim?
“Oh, come to think of it, I haven’t even properly thanked you yet.”
She introduced herself, nodding and lowering her head.
“My name is Han Ji-soo. This is my older sister, Han Ji-hyun.”
“This is Kim Hyun-seong.”
“You’re Korean!”
She smiled happily, glad to meet someone from her hometown in the labyrinth.
‘Is it that rare to meet a Korean person?’
Although there were many Koreans among the Awakened people he had met, in fact, after the second floor, it was not common to meet people from the same country.
Hyunseong looked at Han Jihyun in Han Jisoo’s arms.
“Is there no antidote?”
“Yes. Even something like this…”
Even if there was an antidote, it was only an antidote to a deadly poison.
They say that anything can happen in a labyrinth, but you can’t prepare for every situation.
Since there would be more than one or two things to pack if you packed everything one by one, it was common to only pack what was absolutely necessary.
Hyunseong placed his hand on Han Jihyun’s abdomen and pulled up her energy.
Since I have suffered a lot in the martial arts world, I have some expertise in detoxification.
‘The best way to stop poisoning is…’
It was to be expelled from the body before the effect could be seen.
However, in Han Ji-hyun’s case, the poison has already spread.
Complete deciphering was impossible.
‘Still, I think I can drive it out to some extent.’
The only fortunate thing is that the homeless guys were after Han Ji-hyun’s body, so they used poison that only had an anesthetic effect.
If not, even if it was detoxified, there would have been significant aftereffects.
So, let’s drive out the poisonous energy,
“Hmm…”
Han Ji-hyun, who was in Han Ji-soo’s arms, groaned and frowned.
Her eyes slowly opening.
“Sister?! Are you okay?!”
“Jisoo… Where is this…?”
“It’s still in Indonesia.”
She looked around to get a grasp of the situation and met Hyunseong’s eyes.
At that moment, the dagger hidden in her thigh flew towards Hyunseong in an instant.
Shh! Bang!
It was a fairly sharp attack, but Hyunseong easily swatted away the dagger.
Han Ji-soo, who was holding Han Ji-hyun, made a bewildered expression.
“Hey, sis!?”
She seemed to think they were vagabonds.
Han Ji-hyun staggers as she tries to get up.
However, soon he could not bear the pain and fell to his knees again.
And then he opened his mouth in an angry voice.
“Ugh, kill me…”
“… … ”
Hyunseong thought after hearing that.
The sisters are causing quite a stir as a pair.
.
.
.
“sorry.”
“I’m sorry, sister.”
After hearing the story, Han Ji-hyun did not just bow her head, but bowed down and asked for forgiveness.
Because he knew how rude what he did was.
“But… you became a monster?”
“okay.”
“Hmm…”
She let out a slurred voice, as if she found it hard to believe.
I was tempted to pull back my hood and show him, but I had already received help and accidentally attacked him, so I couldn’t be any more rude.
furthermore,
“It’s true, sis.”
I couldn’t help but believe it when my younger brother said he saw it himself.
What do you have to gain by deceiving yourself?
In the end, she had no choice but to believe Hyunseong’s words.
“Are you okay, Sister?”
“It’s okay… I’m not losing.”
My mind was still hazy and my body was not responding.
She carefully opened her mouth to Hyunseong, wondering what to do.
“I feel a little bad saying this to the person who helped us, but… Could you at least take us to the second floor?”
She was an Awakened who conquered the 4th floor with her younger brother, but in her current state, she wouldn’t be able to deal with the monsters on the 3rd floor, let alone the 4th floor.
Besides, Han Ji-soo was a follower who had focused all his abilities on magic.
She had reached the point where her magical power was exhausted, and she was no different from an awakened person who had entered the first floor.
“Not to the Labyrinth City?”
“Then we appreciate it, but it is a bother…”
As you reach the second floor, your condition will improve and Han Jisoo will recover some of her magical power.
Then the second floor was no problem.
“Hmm…”
“I’ll give you this instead.”
Han Ji-hyun takes something out of her bag.
What she took out was-
[Ogre’s Essence]
[Rank: Rare]
[Description: A jewel containing the essence of an ogre.]
“Is it Jeongsu?”
It was a pretty generous reward for just taking me to the second floor.
“Sister, that’s…”
“are you okay.”
Originally, he was going to take it himself, but now was not the time to be frugal.
If these people hadn’t been there, I would have suffered a miserable death anyway.
Besides, if they leave like this, they’ll either meet a monster or another vagrant before reaching the second floor and end up in the same situation.
‘If the price of life is this cheap, then it’s cheap.’
Hyunseong stroked his jawbone as if thinking about something, then received the ogre’s essence.
“I’ll take this as payment for saving you.”
“Huh? That means—”
Are you saying they won’t bring you there?
The moment he thought that, Hyunseong’s teeth clashed.
“Are you guys the ones who originally cleared the 4th floor?”
“yes yes.”
“Then how about you come with us to the 4th floor?”
“…yes?”
“You guys came here to conquer the labyrinth anyway, right?”
The reason they were attracted was because of the disciples.
Even though they are wearing gear, they are only at the lowest cutoff line, so the danger remains the same.
If these two people are present, their disciples will also be able to adapt to the 4th floor more easily.
‘Then I will have more room to move.’
Seeing them act like this even though they know they are monsters, forming a party didn’t seem like a bad idea.
Han Ji-hyun was troubled by Hyun-seong’s words.
‘If we go back like this, the loss will be too great.’
The things that came out of the dungeon were probably already taken by the vagabonds, so they were no different from those that belonged to Hyunseong, who had defeated them.
If you ask the person who saved your life to give you your bundle, aren’t you no better than a vagabond?
In that case, the only thing I got from this attack was the essence of the Ogre, but I ended up taking that too.
Her worries didn’t last long.
“all right.”
In the end, I accepted Hyunseong’s proposal.
And once again, the two people begin to introduce themselves as Awakened.
“I am a physical melee dealer. My main weapon is a gauntlet.”
“I, I am a magic-type long-range dealer.”
“All three of these are melee dealers. I use a sword-”
Hyunseong pulled back the hood he was wearing.
Two people’s eyes widened at the sight of the exposed skeleton.
“As you can see, it’s a skeleton.”
“I really was a monster.”
“You didn’t believe me?”
“Ah, that… yes.”
To be honest, it would have been stranger to believe it.
“sorry.”
“Is there anything to be sorry about?”
Hyunseong shrugged his shoulders slightly and continued his introduction.
“And this one is… my disciple Brin.”
“Keruk.”
When I pulled back the hood, a fairy-like pretty boy appeared.
The two are surprised by Brin’s appearance in a different way than before.
In particular, Han Ji-hyun had an expression on her face as if she had been struck by lightning.
“Brin can speak a little Korean. He uses a sword just like me. And Rash is an orc, as you saw earlier.”
“Profit.”
“He uses the Tao—”
The two were whispering about something.
“No matter how much you call me an idiot, you should be careful about time and place.”
“How can you not see that?! That’s a national treasure-level appearance!”
“Hmm, that one? It’s cute, but…”
“You’re the one who likes muscles, so you don’t know that I’ve been sneaking glances at Mr. Rashi all this time?”
“Oh, I didn’t see it?!”
“I saw my sister glance around even though she was half-asleep from the poison.”
“I said no!”
“You swear? Have you ever thought, ‘If only my face was a little bit better?’”
“… … ”
“What are you guys doing?”
“No, nothing. Right?”
“Yes, I was listening to you.”
The sisters suddenly came to their senses at her own words and shook their heads from side to side at the same time.
Hyunseong thought while looking at the two people.
This sister is also a bit strange.
-It’s not because you don’t get any attention?
‘No, who would like a sight like this when there’s nothing but bones?’
-…Elena?
‘He likes it for research purposes.’
Besides, I wanted to reject people with such tastes.
“Then for now… shall we go out?”
“Oh, please wait a moment.”
Han Ji-hyun still seemed to have a hard time walking properly because of the poisonous energy remaining.
But that doesn’t mean you can stay in India forever.
“There’s no choice. Brin, Rash. Let’s carry them one by one.”
The eyes of the sister who was sitting and resting on Hyunseong’s horse lit up.
