Monster Heavenly King - Chapter 70
Only Noblemtl
70. Castle that can’t be reached (6)
“Did you say Ian? Is that your name?”
“It’s Seo-Ian. They just said it was Ian over there.”
“Were you even Korean?”
“That surprises me too.”
There are so many people in the world.
Out of the nearly 8 billion people on Earth, two of them are Koreans who have become monsters.
What kind of ridiculous probability are you talking about?
“Okay, then first…”
There were many things he wanted to talk about, but Hyunseong decided to first sort out the current situation.
When he went to where his group was, he saw something like a giant pupa nesting there.
“Is it a skill?”
The only person who could think of to do something like this was Han Ji-soo.
At that moment, the pupa disappears as if the thread is melting away.
Inside, his group appeared.
Han Ji-soo met his eyes and smiled happily.
“Ah, you won!”
Just now, it was a skill called [Real Shield] that Han Ji-soo had.
Although it wasn’t a very powerful skill, the strength of [Real Shield] was in its overlap.
A skill that creates multiple layers of protective shields the more magic power you use, making it stronger than any other protective shield.
She believed in Hyunseong’s victory and poured all her magical power into her skills.
-Well, it would have been difficult to even be nearby from the middle.
A situation where even if you try to intervene, you could end up hindering your allies if you’re not careful.
All the group could do was hold their ground.
The group that had been welcoming him looked at him with puzzled eyes as they saw Seoian approaching from beside him.
“Don’t worry. I talked it over and finished it.”
“Hey, is this a story?”
After causing this mess, the conversation went through.
I wonder what kind of conversation was going on.
“I have no intention of fighting anymore, so don’t be alarmed. … I guess it’s too much to say.”
Because I have seen his terrifying magic.
There was no way he could easily believe the words of the person who had just tried to kill him.
As she expected, Hyunseong and his group did not let their guard down,
“It’s the same case for me.”
He seemed convinced by those words and let his guard down even further.
Seoian looked even more surprised at that sight.
Are you saying that there are parties like this where you can let your guard down with just one word?
furthermore,
‘Those are goblins and orcs over there?’
When we were fighting, I didn’t even care because I was going to kill them anyway, but looking at it this way, I saw that the party was a mix of people and monsters.
What on earth happened to create this party?
I never expected that there would be people and monsters in the same party.
“By the way, it’s a total mess. Can this be fixed?”
The basement where the throne was was in a truly miserable state.
A situation where it wouldn’t be strange if it collapsed at any time.
However, Seoian opened her mouth as if it was nothing.
“No problem.”
A wave of magical power spreads out as you snap your fingers along with the words.
Then, the stones scattered around began to move.
Kururung.
Crunch.
Kookung.
“oh?”
It was truly amazing to see time finding its place as if it was going backwards.
The party could only stare at the spectacle with their mouths wide open in amazement at the incredible magic.
“The reason this place didn’t collapse in the first place is because the castle itself was my workshop.”
“indeed.”
I wondered why it was still intact even though there were no pillars left.
“Is it like time travel?”
“Not that much, I just made it remember the shape. So that it would return to its original state.”
Han Ji-soo was so surprised that she forgot that Seo Yi-an was a monster and rushed at him.
Seoian was surprised by her momentum.
“Hey, hey hey hey, what kind of skill is this?”
“It’s not a skill, it’s magic.”
“Magic!?”
Han Ji-soo also knew the difference between skill and magic.
After the emergence of magic, people were studying the existence of magic.
However, it has only been 6 years since Earth gained magical power.
Because the time period for the study of magic to develop was too short, the current Awakened people were using skills rather than magic.
But, for such an incredible wizard to appear before my eyes.
Seo Yi-an smiled bitterly at Han Ji-soo, who was unable to calm down at all.
“How about letting him rest for a while? He seems to be feeling heavy due to the exhaustion of his magical power.”
She seemed to recognize Han Ji-soo’s condition right away.
“Besides, the group probably didn’t get to rest properly on their way here.”
Because I had set the trap to activate after a certain amount of time had passed since I arrived in the city.
As she said, the group seemed to need a rest.
“Well, that’s true, but…”
“If it’s a story, we can talk after we rest.”
“all right.”
“Don’t worry, I’ve stopped all the traps and there are no monsters.”
“But, even if there are traps, why are there no monsters?”
It was strange that no monsters appeared in such a large city.
She shrugged her shoulders at his question.
“Because I’m using magic to prevent you from getting lost here.”
“…Is that even possible?”
“It’s a bit tricky, but it’s not impossible. I just finished it a while ago. I made it so that the things that are zen are gathered in the distortion barrier. When it’s full, I send it out.”
I realized anew how amazing the wizard is.
The inspector and the wizard.
Assuming the same skill level, the versatility was on a different level.
If he had fallen into a fantasy world instead of a martial arts world, wouldn’t he have learned magic too?
‘At this point, it might really be possible to make it a base.’
Brin, Rashi, and their sisters were led into a room in the luxuriously decorated castle and just passed out.
“You don’t have to rest?”
“As you can see, this is the body.”
Seoian apologizes as if he only realized it when he pointed to his own bones.
He shrugged his shoulders as if it was nothing.
“By the way, it’ll take a while to recover from this.”
Here and there, cracked bones caught my eye.
She looked at Hyunseong as if she was thinking deeply about something.
“Can you show me for a moment?”
“Can you recover?”
“I don’t know. I’ve never restored a skeleton before. I’ll have to see if it works.”
-Usually, skeletons are treated as consumables.
Because it was more efficient to create a new one than to heal the skeleton.
No wizard has ever created such wasteful magic.
“Usually, wouldn’t it be better to just use something like command magic instead of recovery magic?”
“The opposite of recovery magic? Where did you get that knowledge?”
“In the novel?”
Seoian had a lot to say, but she seemed to be holding back.
If someone told you that learning martial arts meant just flying around, scattering sword energy and pulling out sword energy, wouldn’t you make that same expression?
That may be the general perception, but it didn’t seem to be the case.
She tilted her head as she examined her own condition.
“Um… You have some kind of power other than magic?”
“It’s internal energy.”
She nodded after feeling a little more of the inner energy that remained within her.
“This power works well with skeletons.”
“Internal energy?”
“Your internal energy, rather than internal energy.”
“indeed.”
It seemed that he had noticed the nature of Cheonma Shingong’s internal energy.
Who would have thought that she, who knew nothing about martial arts, would figure it out?
“The 4th floor is more full of evil spirits than the other floors, so if you eat breakfast, you’ll recover on your own.”
“That’s good to hear.”
I had been thinking recently that I needed to find a way to restore my bones.
The fight was only going to get more intense, and there was no guarantee that his bones would be safe during all of it.
Can’t we just hope for recovery without end?
In the meantime, it was an unexpected stroke of luck that it could be solved with just breakfast.
Starting with a story about his own body, Hyunseong started asking about magic, and Seoian started asking about martial arts.
“But what martial arts do you use?”
“Don’t use a sword.”
“The sword is good.”
She nodded, crossing her arms.
The expression on his face was like that of a child who admires a knight.
“Actually, I wanted to use a sword too. When you say warrior, you usually use a sword, right?”
“You had no talent?”
“No, that’s not it.”
She seemed to be quite talented with swords, although not as much with magic.
but,
“I had my hands on the best sword in the world.”
“however?”
“That was him.”
Seoian points at Seol-ah with his index finger.
Seol-ah thought this was the moment and rang the sword bell, feeling very proud.
-Ahem.
I couldn’t read his expression, but his gleaming crimson eyes seemed to be filled with a sense of pity.
At that moment, Hyunseong tilted his head as if he noticed something.
“No, wait a minute. Didn’t you say you sealed Seol-ah?”
“that’s right.”
“What happened?”
“This guy talks too much and keeps gaslighting me, so I threw him in a corner.”
Even without having to hear the situation, it was clearly pictured in my head.
Hyunseong clacked his teeth as if he understood.
“Seol-ah did something wrong.”
-Isn’t that too much?!
“But the next time I met him, he was in the hands of the Demon King and came to fight me, so I went to find out what was going on…”
Thinking back to that time, she let out a deep sigh and continued speaking.
“He captured a demon and brainwashed him through gaslighting, saying he would take revenge on me for abandoning him, and then he put him on the throne of the demon king before coming to fight me.”
“…What’s so bad?”
Seol-ah, who is desperately telling her story while shaking her sword under Hyun-seong’s gaze.
– He, he said that back then because he was angry that you abandoned him. I didn’t initiate everything! He said he wanted to become a Demon King after he became successful! He helped me because he had the right to use me! On top of that, he started a fight in the human country, and Ian was there, so I just wanted revenge on him!
“Some admit it.”
-Ah, a butterfly.
“There isn’t any.”
“Anyway, I thought it was too dangerous, so I sealed it.”
It was a hundred times the right decision.
Wouldn’t it be the same if it were you?
Regardless of the reason, it was also the sword that put a simple demon on the throne of the Demon King.
But there was a moment when I felt sorry for breaking that seal.
“Still, it’s okay if it’s in the hands of someone like you.”
Because it didn’t seem like he was being swayed by Seol-ah’s words.
Hyunseong looked at Seol-ah and clenched his teeth.
“You confiscate the seal.”
When I heard that he was the wizard who sealed Seol-ah, I thought about asking him to break the seal.
But now that I heard her story, not a shred of that thought remained.
-You never let me go!
“I couldn’t let you go right now even if I wanted to.”
-Why!?
Seoian shrugged and opened his mouth.
“I became a monster too, so I became much weaker than before.”
“That means… it’s weakened?”
Hyunseong recalls the battle he just had.
“That’s because this is a workshop.”
If he were in his full sane state and not a banshee, Hyunseong would have been reduced to ashes before he could even say a word.
Hyunseong, who heard the story, seemed convinced.
“but.”
Although he was considered to be a master of equal standing in terms of water combat, it was absurd for a warrior who had sealed the world’s greatest sword to be only 4th level strong.
Later, when I regain my body and can use all my strength, I thought that I would like to fight again.
“It’s not impossible if you have a few ingredients… but they’re not available here.”
“It’s okay, I don’t really have any plans to solve it.”
To be exact, it was there, but it disappeared.
If I were to release Seol-ah’s seal now, I might not be able to handle it myself.
I was thinking of leaving it as a last resort after I grew up a bit more.
Seol-ah, who had been listening to the story, rang the sword with a tearful voice.
-Isn’t that too much in front of you?
“Cause and effect go hand in hand.”
