Monster Heavenly King - Chapter 73
Only Noblemtl
73. Dungeon of Disaster (2)
Sha sha sha sha shak!
It was truly a spectacle to see dozens and hundreds of them approaching us with their backs shining.
Quagagagagak!!
Shashasha!
Dozens of them were cut down when the sword was fired, but the space was quickly filled.
Overwhelming quantity.
at that time,
Hurrruk!
Han Ji-soo, who was behind, created a wall of fire and temporarily blocked the cockroaches’ approach.
“This should last me a while.”
Those who can no longer approach the flames that suddenly burst out.
Hyunseong looked at the horde of monsters beyond the fire and gritted his teeth.
“Could it be that the ancient demon lord is sealed here…”
Was this the giant cockroach you were talking about?
If it was this huge, its very existence could be considered a disaster.
“Hey, let’s give up and get out quickly.”
Han Ji-hyun tries to persuade Hyeon-seong while stammering.
I thoroughly avoided insect-like arthropod monsters all the way up to the 4th floor, but I never thought I would encounter one like this.
Even the bug he hated the most.
‘furthermore…’
It might be possible to deal with it by force, but there was a problem.
His own weapon.
He, wearing the gauntlet, had to deal with them one by one by hand.
She recalled that moment,
“I absolutely hate it! I absolutely hate the crunching and crushing of the contents when you break through that hard shell!”
“No, don’t make me imagine.”
He shook his head violently.
However, I couldn’t live up to her expectations that I would tell her to go back.
“But I think it would be difficult to back out now.”
“why?!”
“The door already fell down.”
Even just pushing and dropping it was done by combining forces with Rashi.
It would probably be difficult to lift that thing back up and block the door without heavy equipment.
“That means…”
“If we don’t stop this now, these guys will spread throughout the entire 4th floor.”
Han Ji-hyun’s expression turned as white as a sheet of paper.
Because it looks like I really have to conquer this dungeon without moving.
-Is this the type of disaster that they are talking about when they say that a disaster will occur if it is opened?
‘A disaster is a disaster.’
Considering this huge number, it would be an instant for them to take over the fourth floor once they are released.
Unlike Han Ji-hyun, who was despairing at the thought of having to conquer this dungeon, her younger brother showed no reaction.
“Oh, at home too, I was in charge of catching things.”
Besides, even if you catch it, you’ll just be using your skills anyway.
So, she couldn’t help but feel less disgusted than her sister.
“First of all, it seems like the dungeon is full, so let’s try reducing the number.”
Hyunseong raised his magical power, not his internal energy.
Then, Seol-ah starts to burn brightly.
It was used by a teacher of the Cheonmasin Church that I met a while ago.
Rather than learning any skills, I asked Seoian to teach me some simple magic that I could use right away.
‘Because my magic power was often at play while fighting.’
Rather than being a person’s pride, the skills he could use were not ones that he could use all the time.
So, from the efficiency-oriented perspective, it was bound to be uncomfortable.
While I was wondering how I could use my magic well, the thing I chose was to learn magic that could be used in actual combat.
‘There’s no reason not to use the strength you have.’
If I don’t use it now, when will I use it?
He swung Seol-ah around while muttering to himself like that.
A flame-filled sword swept through the monster.
Clang! Clang!!
These were guys who tried to avoid the flames somehow, but most of them were swallowed up by the wave of fire and their bodies were burned.
Brin and Rash also brandished their respective weapons.
Han Ji-hyun also cried and crushed the cockroach with her fists and feet.
“Whoa!?”
I knocked them down in the middle of the road, but I don’t know if it was rigor mortis or they weren’t dead yet, but they screamed whenever they moved even after I knocked them down.
“Ugh, sometimes when you catch a bug with a tissue and it squirms around, that weird feeling you get.”
“No, I told you not to explain it in such detail.”
Since it is a feeling that can be imagined, isn’t this also rather uncomfortable?
Is it a mindset that you can’t die alone?
How long did it take to block the entrance from the endless waves of monsters that came rushing in?
[Level up.]
Even though it was weak, I had no choice but to level up once I got to this level.
Han Ji-soo opened her mouth as if she was fed up with seeing the situation sorted out.
“The numbers are incredible.”
If we only consider its strength as a single entity, wouldn’t it be weaker than the first-floor play or goblins?
But the scary thing was in their numbers.
I only encountered one group at the entrance, but their number was in the three digits.
As it has been sealed for a long time, the inside will still be teeming with monsters.
“It’s hell… hell is here…”
Ha Ji-hyun muttering with a blank expression.
I didn’t really intend to blame her.
Because everyone has something weak.
Looking at her condition, it didn’t seem like she would be able to fight for long, so I decided to leave the guy who escaped from the rear to her.
And not long after, we encountered cockroaches again.
but,
“What is this now?”
This time there were a few larger ones mixed in.
Moreover, it did not look like a cockroach, but rather had longer legs, walked on two legs, and showed its belly.
“Wow, looking at it this way, it does seem a bit like that.”
Han Ji-hyun had already turned her gaze away and was holding her hands together as if looking for a god she didn’t normally believe in.
But, I guess it is like an awakened person to not close their eyes or fold their arms so that they can be prepared for whatever happens.
Pararararak!
“Whoa?!”
As he flapped his wings, small needles poured out from them.
Is it now possible to attack from a distance?
“Profit!”
As Rashi swung his sword, a tremendous amount of wind pressure was created, blowing away all the flying needles.
Hyunseong’s eyes sparkled red at the sight.
‘It’s increased considerably.’
As I steadily built up my internal energy, I was starting to see results.
Right now it’s just a matter of creating wind pressure, but later on, it will truly live up to its name, Pacheon, and it will be able to create a storm with just one blow.
As the bipedal monster flapped its four remaining legs, numerous cockroaches swarmed it.
“I’ll stop them first, then you deal with the ones that escape!”
“Keruk!”
“Profit!”
“yes…!”
“Han Ji-soo, attack the flying ones first!”
“all right!”
Hyunseong’s sword energy flared up once again.
What would the Heavenly Demons of all time think if their martial arts, which contained their essence, were being used to catch cockroaches?
Pararararak!
Spit pouring down with the sound of flapping wings.
Since I can’t ignore it, I get distracted and my speed slows down.
At first, those who couldn’t even come close were dying closer and closer.
“Jisoo, do something about those flying guys!”
“I know! But, it’s not as easy as it sounds because you have to dodge it in various ways!”
As I flew through the sky, there were more places to hide.
Besides, sometimes mobs will come in and do body shaming.
It seemed like they were having a hard time.
Should I have taken charge of those guys?
‘No, this was the best we could do.’
The reason he was able to block most of this huge number on his own was because he was using both his internal energy and magical power.
The fiery black aura cuts and burns.
Most monsters were swept away by the double attack.
If they had been dissatisfied, they would have rushed at me while I was still alive, even with my burning body.
At that time, the guys flying in the sky thought that Han Ji-hyun, who was behind them, was the weakest and flew towards her first.
Clang!
“Hey, Unnie?! Be careful!”
Han Ji-hyun is shocked when she sees the giant things flying towards her.
She soon,
“Oh, don’t come!!!!”
I took up the position with a sob.
and,
puck!
“Come.”
Kwajik!
“Stop it!”
thud!
“I did it!”
Boom!
I took out the approaching guys one by one with a single blow while performing evasive maneuvers.
“… … ”
“… … ”
“… … ”
At that absurd sight, not only Brin and Rashi, but even Han Ji-soo looked at her sister in disbelief.
Is this really the kind of person who is scared?
‘Isn’t that amazing?’
-They say a crisis makes a person stronger.
Even Hyunseong and Seol-ah were impressed by his neat craftsmanship.
Han Ji-hyun sat down with a thud and took a deep breath.
“Oh my god, I thought I was going to die.”
The giant cockroach that came right up to my nose was a nightmare in itself.
No one else but me thought I was going to die after seeing that skill.
It didn’t take long to sweep away the remaining remnants.
After taking a deep breath, she asked in a trembling voice.
“Oh, it’s not over yet?”
“Unfortunately, there is a passage leading inside.”
“I want to go home…”
If you do all this and nothing useful comes out, wouldn’t you really cry?
I took a deep breath and went back inside with my group.
After descending for a long time, we arrived at the deepest part.
It was a fairly large space, so much so that the ceiling was barely visible.
‘What kind of ruins are these?’
There were thick pillars that seemed to support the sky, and the ceiling had some kind of indiscernible pattern painted on it.
I looked around other places besides the nearby area, but I couldn’t find anything.
“Well, I don’t see anything in particular?”
Since the dungeon was also a single path, it’s not like I took a wrong turn.
However, no matter how much I looked around, there was no one who looked like a boss.
“Is this Gordon without a boss?”
“Thank goodness…”
A younger sibling drawing a question mark over their head and an older sister looking relieved.
“No, that’s not good, sis. If that’s the case, then I’m completely screwed.”
“No matter what, right now I just want to go back and rest…”
However, Hyunseong knew that there was a boss here.
Because I came here in the first place thanks to Seol-ah’s information.
-Well, there are two possibilities.
‘What is it?’
-One is when the information is incorrect.
‘What about the other one?’
-Is there a hidden passage?
“Hmm.”
Hyunseong stroked his chin and became lost in thought.
Because I felt like it was neither of those things.
But, there is nothing like this, and even though I came all the way to the center, there was no response at all.
-The monster may have died while it was sealed, and its children may have survived and thrived.
‘Well, I guess I should put the boss aside and look for the treasure.’
That’s when I decided to explore further.
“It’s been noisy since a while ago.”
A voice echoing through the hall.
The group looked around.
A new voice, with a tone of voice and a tone of voice I’ve never heard before.
in other words,
‘So the boss has appeared.’
As soon as Hyunseong pulled out Seol-ah, the group each prepared for battle and looked for the enemy.
But, the enemy is nowhere to be seen.
“Little ones. The fact that you have come this far means that the seal has been broken.”
How big are cockroaches that they call themselves small?
The moment I thought that.
“It’s finally time to go outside again!”
Kwarrung.
The pillar moved.
What I thought was a pillar until now wasn’t a pillar.
that,
“……leg?”
It was a huge bridge.
Hyunseong looks up at the sky vertically along his legs.
What I thought were patterns carved into the ceiling were actually the stomach of a giant cockroach.
Hyunseong, who was looking up at the sky, unconsciously clicked his teeth.
“What the fuck.”
