Monster Heavenly King - Chapter 75
Only Noblemtl
75. Dungeon of Disaster (4)
[Level up.]
The boss’s neck is cut, and a message is heard.
Seol-ah thought it was over, but Hyun-seong kicked the ground as if it wasn’t over.
-Why all of a sudden?
“It’s not over yet.”
-…what?
Seol-ah asks again as if she doesn’t understand what he’s saying.
However, before Hyunseong could answer, the giant boss’s body moved.
thud!
Clang! Clang!!
With a flap of wings, baby monsters jump out from within.
-how?
The body that contained the consciousness was killed.
The corpse disappeared and became experience points, so how can it still be alive?
Hyunseong moved his legs without stopping and his teeth chattered.
“It’s not that I transferred my consciousness into that body.”
-then…
The entrance is so small to begin with, so where did this guy come in from?
If you think about it, it was simple.
The guy must have been transferred into the body of a small entity that survived being exterminated in the past.
It hid here and grew to this enormous size, gaining strength.
-From the beginning, this guy was said to be one and composed of many.
“yes.”
-Wait a minute. So that means…
What this meant was that if you didn’t deal with all the monsters here, the boss wouldn’t die.
Hyunseong clenched his teeth.
“So the most important thing is-”
The task was to deal with this mother plant that was constantly producing monsters.
If you don’t deal with this guy, monsters will literally come out infinitely.
“You managed to notice it.”
As he reached the body, he saw that the one he had just cut off was there, its front legs and neck.
No, it’s just a different entity, just looking exactly like that guy.
“I guess they’ve already started mass production.”
There are dozens of them too.
The longer we delay, the more disadvantageous it becomes for us.
Hyunseong flew forward, stepping on the boss’s hard back as if he didn’t have time to speak.
Parallel!
In an instant, they disperse and attack from different directions.
However, the sharp forelegs of the guys never reached Hyunseong and he was cut down as is.
If you get hit even once, you’re finished as soon as you get caught by the front legs.
That fact was raising Hyunseong’s concentration to the peak.
furthermore,
Kwaaaaang!!
“what?!”
Dozens of them suddenly transformed into something unrecognizable, slicing through the space.
He was shocked by the attack, which he could not even understand, but he quickly came to his senses.
It was closer to a survival instinct.
‘It’s dangerous to send this guy,’
If he were a normal human, he wouldn’t have even been able to scratch the mother’s exoskeleton, but Hyunseong was different.
Because he had the power not only to hurt his mother, but to kill her.
‘If the mother dies…’
He himself would have to grow a new mother body for hundreds or thousands of years again.
And, if.
If indeed.
If they all died here, it would truly be the end.
‘That can’t be.’
Even the boss became desperate as he felt a threat to his life for the first time in his life.
He gave the order to mobilize all the entities that had been attacking Brin and others from below and rush towards Hyunseong.
‘If you do that, I’ll be grateful.’
Because each time the sword you swing cuts through space, you can defeat more monsters.
[Level up.]
[Level up.]
There were some strong ones, but there were also many weak ones, so the experience points they gave were not negligible.
Seol-ah, who was looking at it, rang the sword bell.
-That’s ridiculous.
Only a few days had passed since Hyunseong was able to open space.
Although the way the technology was used was crude, it was much more refined than before.
It’s only been a few days and it’s developed to this extent.
‘Martial arts are very sensory, you know.’
Should I say that since the blocked part is released, the rest also feels like it is released smoothly.
But, it’s still a long way to go.
‘I thought there wasn’t much time left.’
I had only taken one step forward, but I realized that it was not the end point, not a cliff, but a new path.
A path of nothingness with endless waves.
That’s why I couldn’t stop practicing martial arts.
“Keeek!”
Pararararak!
There were guys who jumped in to try to stop him somehow, but Hyunseong’s speed wasn’t slowing down at all.
Hyunseong finally reached the giant boss’s mother body, the part connecting the head and body, and lifted Seol-ah up.
“Oh, no!”
“Okay!”
He just swung his sword.
Kwajijijijik!!
The mother’s neck and body were separated.
A rough cross-section that would be more accurate to say torn off rather than cut off.
Kuung!!!
A giant head falls to the ground.
One beat slower, the huge body began to tilt.
Kwaaaaang!!
Hyunseong, who was about to fall to the ground, discovered his group and approached them.
“Master!”
“Han Ji-soo! Block the entrance!”
“yes?”
“I’ll explain later!”
As she said, she summoned up her magic in a hurry, causing the ground to move and block the single entrance to the huge cavity.
Now that the mother is dead, the enemies will no longer increase.
So now what’s left is-
“It’s a cleanup!”
At Hyunseong’s words, the group each took out their weapons.
* * *
Dealing with the remnants wasn’t that difficult.
Because the remaining guys were all in a state of panic and trying to escape somehow.
If even one survives, they can try to rise again.
You might have thought so, but Hyunseong also knew that, so he thoroughly exterminated the cockroaches.
and,
“S, save me…”
“I have no intention of giving you anything, so just die now.”
Hyunseong, who had finally dealt with the last remaining guy, let out a small sigh.
“I’m so tired I could die.”
You have to be persistent to a certain extent, so that no one will call you a cockroach.
It took quite some time to deal with the remnants.
“… Are you okay, unnie?”
“… Now I think I can catch a cockroach with my bare hands.”
“Really? Then from now on, if I come out of the house, my sister will catch me?”
“… … I don’t like that.”
Maybe I got used to it because I kept doing it so much.
Han Ji-hyun’s condition was better than expected.
Maybe it was a little better because the humanoid appeared.
Hyunseong checking the status window.
[Name: Kim Hyun-seong.]
[Race: Skeleton Lord]
[Characteristic: None]
[Level:37]
[Strength: 25 (+6)]
[Stamina: 15 (+3)]
[Endurance: 17(+2)]
[Agility: 15 (+2)]
[Magic Power: 16 (+4)]
[Remaining points: 8]
While dealing with the remnants, I went up two more levels.
In this dungeon alone, I gained a whopping 6 levels.
Most people say it’s because Hyunseong caught it, but it’s truly a groundbreaking growth.
Judging from the fact that Han Ji-hyun and Han Ji-soo had also leveled up quite a bit, it seemed like the group was one monster and the experience points were distributed in order of contribution.
‘Not bad, right?’
Even if the reward is secondary, it doesn’t seem like a bad idea to come for growth.
It was a bit of a struggle though.
-I’m telling you, this dungeon is special, but not all of them are like that.
‘but.’
If there were a lot of dungeons like this, that would be a problem in its own right.
Hyunseong looked around and gritted his teeth.
“First, let’s look at the compensation and see if there’s anything useful nearby.”
Hyunseong first examined the items that had fallen where the mother body was.
[Queen’s Carapace]
[Rank: Ancient]
[Description: This is the shell of a being known as the Black Wave, a calamity. It is so strong that it could be used as a shield right away.]
“oh?”
Although it has no ability value, it can be used without even being processed, and its grade is ancient.
The only flaw, if there is one, is that this is all that came out of catching that distracted guy.
And while searching the area, we found a few skeletons.
“This is…”
-Hmm, I guess they’re the ones who tracked this guy down.
They tried to exterminate the escaped cockroaches, but ended up being outnumbered by them.
There were items scattered nearby.
Necklaces, bracelets, spears, staffs, etc.
Because they had been left unattended for so long, some of them looked like they would break if touched.
It didn’t seem like it would be usable right away, but
[The Old Warrior’s Spear]
[Rank: Rare]
[Description: This spear was once a national treasure of a once prosperous kingdom. It was used by a warrior who defeated a dragon, but it has now become worn and lost its power.]
In addition, there are the staff of the wise man who lost his magic, the necklace of the old saint, etc.
Although it had the word “old” in it, it looked like pretty good equipment to me.
Hyunseong strokes his chin while looking at the equipment.
‘Is this recoverable?’
-If my seal is released, there will be no problem.
‘Then it might be possible with Ian’s magic too.’
-Fatally!
‘Besides, even if I wanted to break your seal, I can’t do it right now. And the materials can only be obtained if I go higher than here.’
There were also materials that had to be obtained from the 5th floor or higher.
Unless Seoian regains her strength, it will likely take a considerable amount of time to break Seol-ah’s seal.
-Are you thinking of letting it go?
‘Because I saw what you were doing.’
-If only the seal were released…
‘Hey, my true feelings are leaking out, honey.’
-Oh, mistake.
‘Oh my.’
Whether it was intentional or really a mistake.
In any case, it was a sword that you couldn’t let your guard down for even a moment.
I put all my things in my bag and clenched my jaw.
“I’ve packed everything I need to pack. Let’s go back to the castle.”
Originally, I had planned to check out other dungeons as well, but everyone seemed tired, so I decided not to push myself too hard.
While they were resting, he planned to explore other dungeons.
So, Hyunseong and his group headed towards the passage that had been blocked to return.
and,
‘Keke, you idiots’
Someone who was watching the whole situation from the dark.
It was the boss of the dungeon.
‘You all probably believe I’m dead, right?’
The last of the last.
A very small entity, usually about the size of a cockroach, was left behind.
A tenacity that is truly fit for a cockroach.
‘I never thought you’d block the entrance.’
If it weren’t for that, they would have run away a long time ago while the guys were dealing with the remnants.
However, it would be nearly impossible to spot even this small object in the dark.
‘Let’s build up our strength again as soon as the guys return.’
It would take a considerable amount of time, but as long as he lived, he could be resurrected at any time.
‘It’s not a small thing, just a piece of bone… I will kill it no matter what.’
A guy who gnashes his teeth and vows revenge.
Is it because I’m deep in thought?
I missed one of the goblins approaching me.
It’s too late to avoid this situation.
The boss held his breath and waited for the guy to pass by.
“Keruk, Master, are you taking this too?”
“Well, should I pack it first?”
The monsters that Brin and Rash, who were not Awakened, defeated had their corpses still intact.
It may not be a queen, but it’s sturdy enough to be useful.
‘no!!’
The boss who was watching it screamed.
Since they are living things, they need nutrients.
If they take it, I won’t be able to grow properly.
However, he had no power left to dissuade them.
‘Since it has come to this…’
I had to eat it all up, even if it was just now.
As I was thinking like that and about to move.
Kwajik!
“Keruk?”
Brin draws a question mark at the sensation he feels under his feet.
As I looked around, wondering if I had stepped on a piece of exoskeleton lying around, I saw something flat, black, attached to it.
Brin swiped it off the floor, then began picking up the exoskeleton again.
The disaster that had once lived since the beginning and terrified the world met its death without anyone knowing.
