Monster Heavenly King - Chapter 69
Only Noblemtl
69. Castle You Can’t Go To (5)
There was silence.
All Hyunseong did was lightly swing Seol-ah, but the power was not light at all.
The magic that flew towards Hyeonseong, and the space that spits out magic of all kinds of attributes.
Everything had disappeared and silence had set in.
“what…?!”
The one who was most surprised by its power was the one who used the magic.
Magic is quite sensitive, so each wizard takes their own measures to prevent others from interfering with their magic.
However, Hyunseong had just ignored the heavy lock and blew away the magic along with the space.
‘There were some who occasionally cut through magic.’
At first, I thought Hyunseong was one of those types, but I soon realized that he wasn’t and used his magic to his heart’s content, but I didn’t expect this to happen.
She gulped and swallowed.
‘This is dangerous.’
It was okay to cut the magic.
However, carving out space was a different story.
Because the barrier that protected him was virtually gone.
While she was thinking about many things in her head, Hyunseong-
‘…What is this?’
I was surprised by the power of the sword I swung.
-Why are you surprised when you were the one who swung it?
‘I didn’t do it on purpose.’
Because I just did what my senses, which had been brought to the limit, told me to do.
I myself had no idea that such a tremendous result would come about.
At that moment, the boss tried to cast magic again.
When Hyunseong saw that sight, he recalled the feeling he had just had and swung his sword.
Kwaaaaang!!
The space seemed to ripple in the same direction as the trajectory of the swing, and then the space was torn apart again with a tremendous sound.
The boss clicked his tongue as the magic completely disappeared again.
-It’s still amazing even when I look at it again.
Seol-ah let out a breath of pure admiration.
It would be more appropriate to say that the space was cut out rather than divided.
There was a big difference here.
It was like skipping several steps, like suddenly starting to run when you couldn’t even walk until just now.
-The tables were turned in an instant.
Even though this is a wizard’s workshop, I can’t overcome this right away.
In fact, for the first time, the boss’s expression, which had seemed relaxed until now, became serious.
‘I’m not embarrassed.’
People couldn’t help but panic when an unexpected situation occurred.
But in real life, it is like a deadly poison.
That’s why people who have a lot of experience in real combat become more calm when unexpected situations arise.
That means the boss in front of you hasn’t given up yet.
I told you not to let your guard down.
Because this was the boss’ workshop.
Kuguguggung.
An incredible magical power arose, the ground darkened, and a stone spear rose from the ground.
It was fast enough to rise up from right under his feet, but Hyunseong cut it all down.
However, it was fake, as a stone pillar struck Hyeonseong from the side.
Kwaang!
“Ugh?!”
Even though I blocked it, my bones were still cold.
A feeling of twisting in the gut
-You have no guts.
“Don’t tackle each and every one of them!”
He ran away, complaining to Seol-ah.
However, the countless rising stone pillars did not allow for proper speed.
furthermore…
‘The magic speed and movement are completely different from before?’
The winding stone pillars moved in a variety of ways, like whips.
I found myself complaining without realizing it because the movements were on a completely different level than before.
-I control each and every one of them directly.
‘Crazy, this much?’
-The ability to split thoughts is a basic skill for a wizard.
“That’s really helpful!”
Hyunseong gritted his teeth and swung Seol-ah at the explanation that was of no help at all.
Kwarrrrung!
The stone that had been moving like a whip turned into a pebble and rolled on the floor, but the sword that cut through space did not reach the boss.
An intense red light emanated from the boss’s hand.
Pavabavat!
Magic and sword collided, sending shockwaves swept across the area.
The boss was now changing positions, even using teleportation.
I chased after that boss and cut down the magic she scattered.
The speed seemed to be getting faster and faster, to the point where it was difficult to see Han Ji-soo, let alone Han Ji-hyun.
You might think that it’s just a matter of cutting the space, but
‘You can’t overuse space-saving.’
His senses were telling him.
There are only a few times left that you can use it now.
Since I didn’t have much internal energy or magical power left, I had to exercise extreme restraint and wait for an opportunity.
Swaaaaaaah!
The snowball in his hand stretched out towards the boss, decorating the sky in a dizzying manner.
Magic was created in the air, blocking his own sword energy and sending sparks flying.
‘Is this not a joke?’
Although it was a fight between swords and magic, it felt like I was fighting a master of the same level.
Boss thought the same thing.
‘Does it make sense that my casting speed is barely keeping up?!’
I was confident that I could cast magic at a speed that was second to none.
Moreover, this is his own workshop.
Even though it has all the advantages, it can’t even overpower a single skeleton.
Wow wow wow!!
The wide room shook as the two’s fierce battle became more intense.
Several pillars could not withstand the shock wave and collapsed.
It was to the point where I thought the building might collapse.
Thud thud!
The sword energies that flew in succession were blocked by magic.
The magic created in the air was counteracted by the sword energy of the present being.
At that moment.
Kugugugugu!!
My body feels heavy.
It feels like something is weighing you down.
It wasn’t difficult to figure out what caused it.
‘Gravity magic!’
It seemed like he was planning to make a big move.
Hyunseong gritted his teeth and swung Seol-ah.
Kwakwakwakwa!
As the space was carved out, the weight that was weighing him down disappeared.
I had to get close before the magic took effect.
As I rolled my feet, his figure disappeared.
Boom!
A sound heard a beat late.
Just the recoil from hitting the ground made my bones creak.
The sound of the gunshot felt like the footsteps of a death god to the boss.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
A karma that seemed like it would burn everything engulfed Hyeonseong.
However, the flames do not burn the spirit and only hover around it.
“crazy?!”
Shock escaped the boss’s mouth, but her magic did not cease.
All the magic was directed towards the realm faster than ever before.
It’s impossible to block everything.
‘Then it only blocks deadly things!’
Chorrrrrr!!
Kak!
bang!
Even though he had blocked more than half of the magic, his body, which was nothing but bones, was scratched and cracked.
Hyunseong was now gambling with his life.
Although his body was covered in wounds, his mind was extremely sharp.
And, Hyunseong arrived within arm’s reach of the boss.
Crunch!
The boss tried to block the attack with the help of Banshee’s claws, but was instantly cut down by the sharp blade of the sword.
and,
Shhh!
Hyunseong’s stab grazed the boss’s cheek.
Blood flowed out from the boss’s cheek.
“…?”
She glanced at the white blade that had cut her cheek with a puzzled expression.
“Why aren’t you finished?”
It was his own defeat.
He should have just been a cold corpse with his head pierced by a single blow.
It was difficult to believe that a strong man like Hyunseong would make a mistake.
He clacked his teeth at her question without putting his sword away.
“My sword has something to say.”
The reason Hyunseong didn’t take the boss’ life was simple.
Because during the fight, Seol-ah asked me to make her voice sound more confident.
‘So we were going to fight for a while and then break up and talk…’
I didn’t know we’d fight this hard.
It is also my fault if I become excited and can’t stop in the middle of something.
Not only was my bone sore, but there were actually cracks in places.
It might take a few weeks to recover.
At Hyunseong’s words, she made a face as if she couldn’t understand English.
“…what?”
What are you talking about out of the blue after winning everything?
The moment I thought that.
-Ian! Are you Ian?
I thought I heard the sword ring, and then I heard a voice.
A voice I’ve heard somewhere and a talking sword.
She looked at Seol-ah with her eyes wide open as if something had come to mind while thinking that far.
“How about you?!”
– Hehe, well. What could it be? I never thought we would meet like this.
Seol-ah’s voice sounded happy, perhaps because she was meeting someone she knew.
The boss muttered with an expression of disbelief.
“I must have sealed it…?”
Her true identity seemed to be that of the warrior who sealed Seol-ah.
This is exactly why Hyunseong accepted Seol-ah’s absurd words and risked his life.
‘It’s the same case as me.’
The fact that she’s the boss here means that she was once a human just like me, but then she became a monster.
Seol-ah rang the sword in an excited voice, not knowing whether or not she knew Hyun-seong’s thoughts.
-For a sword as powerful as mine, breaking that level of seal isn’t a big deal!
When he no longer shows any sign of fighting, Hyeonseong puts away his sword.
Seol-ah continued to chatter without stopping even during that time.
“How did you recognize me?”
-I was wondering if it was you. Your appearance was so different. But the magic pattern was similar, and that flash magic! You made that! It was so similar that I was sure it was you.
“… … ”
-For your information, the skeleton using me right now is in the same situation as you.
The boss called Ian, her gaze turned to Hyunseong.
Hyunseong nodded as if to say yes, gritting his teeth.
“As soon as I woke up, I went to another world and when I came back, this is what I found.”
“…Just like me.”
It seemed like the system consistently provided crappy after-sales service.
Since everyone will use it anyway, I guess they’re going to show off their guts.
Since ancient times, good customer service is the key to longevity.
I don’t know who runs the system, but I’m sure they’re an old-fashioned person who can’t keep up with the trends.
“I was in a world of martial arts, not a fantasy world with magic.”
“I’m a little jealous of that.”
“Are you jealous?”
“I was more of a wuxia fan than a fantasy fan.”
The atmosphere became even more relaxed.
At that moment, Seol-ah rang the sword bell as if she could no longer contain her curiosity.
-But why does it look like that?
“Why, you know? I was born this way, what can I do?”
Hyunseong clenched his teeth to calm her down at the nervous voice.
“So what does appearance matter?”
She has flesh and blood.
Where is there anything that is not bone like yourself?
He is a skeleton, a trash mob on the first floor.
She is the boss of the 4th floor area.
There was a difference between heaven and earth.
What is this discrimination?
The moment I thought that.
-It doesn’t matter, the gender has changed.
Seol-ah’s voice made my thoughts stop.
Gender changed? Who?
And Hyunseong’s crimson eyes naturally turned towards Banshee.
-I don’t know much about it since I’m a swordsman, but from the perspective of someone who has a gender, isn’t it a bit big to change gender?
“… It’s big.”
Because your life will change completely.
She looked depressed, as if the conversation had just brought back to mind something she had tried hard to forget.
-Don’t be too depressed, you’re just skin and bones, who knows if Hyunseong is a woman too?
“really?”
Is it a relief to see that there are others in the same situation as you?
Hyunseong, who had been watching it quietly, thought to himself, his jaw clacking in disbelief.
‘What nonsense are you talking about?’
There was no way his skeleton could be a woman’s right now.
Hyunseong, muttering like that, touches his pelvic bone just in case.
‘Hmm, that’s a guy.’
