Monster Heavenly King - Chapter 76
Only Noblemtl
76. God’s Tears
“Whoa, that was hard.”
“I want to sleep, but I don’t want to sleep because I think I’ll have nightmares if I sleep now…”
The group arrives at the castle and the rest of the group is lying down.
Brin and Rash didn’t say anything, but their tired looks were obvious.
“What? You’re here already? I thought you’d be here for a few more weeks.”
“It was quite difficult from the first dungeon.”
I decided not to say anything about what came out.
Because they didn’t want to think about it again.
“And then I’m going out again.”
“You live a busy life.”
“Because I have this body.”
“In martial arts novels, they just have a few months to organize their thoughts.”
“That happens when the body is somewhat complete.”
Because he still had a lot of room to grow.
In times like these, it would be more efficient to gain enlightenment by moving your body.
‘To be honest…’
I couldn’t even tell if this was really true.
Because the realm he has reached now is a realm unknown to himself.
But compared to that realization, he has a shabby body.
As it was an unprecedented situation, I had no choice but to trust my instincts and move forward.
“Then, come with me this time. I was thinking of going out.”
“okay?”
“I have something to look up.”
“I am welcome.”
There was no reason to decline when a wizard of Seoian’s caliber volunteered to join us.
Hyunseong heads out of the distortion barrier with her.
“Do you have a destination?”
“No, there’s no destination, so I’ll just follow.”
In that case, I had to ask Seol-ah where to go.
Then Seol-ah rings the sword as if it’s ridiculous.
-Huh, do you think I’ll just guide you along?
I guess I’m still upset about what happened last time.
Hyunseong sighed and clenched his teeth.
“Hey, think about it carefully.”
-what?
“It’s lowly to do something like that because you don’t like the other person.”
If you don’t like someone, wouldn’t you be a true master if you knew how to give them a hard time rather than ignoring or rejecting them?
“Wherever you lead us, we’ll go there and attack, no matter what comes out of it.”
-… …
Seol-ah, who realized what he meant, started listening quietly without saying anything.
It hit me even harder because I had just seen him struggling with a swarm of cockroaches.
Besides, he wouldn’t have any troubles anyway, since he would be at the mercy of Hyunseong’s hands.
Hyunseong, who thought she was almost there, provoked Seol-ah one last time.
“If you work hard there, wouldn’t it be fun just to see that sight?”
-Okay! I’ll guide you!
Hyunseong raised his thumb towards Seoian as if it was resolved well.
Now I guess I have some idea how to control Seol-ah.
She was dumbfounded at the sight.
It was a combination that you wouldn’t get bored with just watching.
“So where do we go?”
-Just trust me and follow me!
I guess he has no intention of telling me.
The place they arrived at following Seol-ah’s guidance was a ruined ruin.
however,
-what.
There were already people there before they arrived.
That’s quite a lot.
Tents were pitched here and there, and the Awakened were moving busily.
Hyunseong pulled his robe down deeply to hide his identity.
As we approached a little closer, one of the Awakened guards opened his mouth with an annoyed expression.
“Hey, this place is off-limits.”
“No entry?”
“This area has been leased by our Phoenix Guild for the time being.”
An attitude as if this was their land.
Just hearing those words, I felt like I had a rough idea of what was going on.
‘Hunting ground control?’
This must have been a pretty popular hunting ground, because when they looked around, they saw other parties besides their own.
“How can a large guild control hunting grounds?”
“This is tyranny!”
“You’re being rude. Who said this was our land? We’re going to use it for the time being, so it’s a warning to you to go somewhere else since you won’t gain much experience even if you stay here.”
It was just a warning, though.
It showed the will to not hesitate to use force if they do not leave.
If we just make an example of one or two parties and destroy them, there won’t be any more talk.
In the end, they too had no choice but to turn back, perhaps because they thought that going up against the Phoenix Guild was foolish.
“The Phoenix Guild brats are going too far.”
“Hey, are you avoiding it because it’s dirty or because you’re scared? Let’s go.”
“Besides, those guys are allied with the Heavenly Demon Sect.”
“What organization is the alliance under?”
Besides, the Phoenix Guild seemed to have some kind of connection with the Cheonmasin Church.
I had a feeling that if I made a fuss here, I would be in for quite a headache.
The man’s tone became harsh, as if he thought they didn’t understand him because he was still.
“What are you guys doing? Are your ears blocked?”
A man approaches them with a fierce expression.
Seoian opened her mouth as if she didn’t care.
“So, what are you going to do?”
There was no reason for them to insist on staying here.
Because the dungeon wasn’t only here.
I don’t want to create unnecessary trouble, so taking a step back wouldn’t be a bad idea.
Hyunseong had similar thoughts, but Seol-ah seemed to think differently.
-no!
‘… I have a rough idea, but why?’
-Because this is the most difficult dungeon to conquer!
I had a hope, and it was as expected.
It seemed like I couldn’t give up on the dungeon I had chosen.
The moment I was about to say that for that reason alone there was no reason to go there.
-Besides, there are tears of God here.
‘Tears of God?’
What’s all the fuss about?
The name is grand, but I don’t know anything about the Tears of God.
“Let’s go in.”
Seo Yi-an, who had been negative until just now, changed his opinion as if turning over the palm of his hand after hearing Seol-ah’s words.
What on earth are the tears of God that made her change her attitude like this?
“What kind of item is it?”
“I’ve never seen it in person either. According to records, it’s said that God predicted the destruction of the world and that it was the last hope left behind. Who would have thought it would be here?”
Her eyes, which had been just trying to avoid unnecessary trouble, were now sparkling with curiosity.
-The reason why the kingdom that existed before this land became a land of death was destroyed was because other countries fought over it.
However, even after the kingdom was destroyed, no country was able to obtain it and it was forgotten without any proper records being left behind.
Later generations waged wars simply to occupy the vast plains without even knowing what lay there.
In the end, it became a land of death.
‘The last hope left by God.’
Hyunseong stroked his chin and became lost in thought.
It was quite a grand explanation.
“What exactly is that thing?”
-I don’t know either.
“You don’t know?”
-When my user traveled here, he got information about the Tears of God and tried to conquer it, but he retreated without being able to conquer it.
A huge underground dungeon in the ruins.
It seemed like it was sleeping in the deepest part of them all.
“You even knew about the Tears of God. That’s incredible.”
-Huh, now you realize my greatness?
Seol-ah, who is feeling good and is acting proud by shaking her sword.
It seemed like all my worries melted away with just one word of praise.
Looking at it this way, I thought it was a very simple sword.
at that time,
“Even if these kids talk…”
The man who came right up to her drew a blood vessel mark on her forehead because she was ignoring her.
I need to set an example for them to ignore me like this.
I reach out with that thought in mind.
Chin, whirr!
Thud!
“uh!?”
A man who was subdued in an instant.
His arms were grabbed and pulled back, and his knees were on the ground.
Besides, I couldn’t move an inch.
I couldn’t understand what was happening to me.
An unpleasant, thumping sound inside the robe that came right up to my face.
“If you just answer the questions I ask you from now on, I will spare your life.”
The moment I heard those words, I got goosebumps and felt chills all over my body.
His instincts were telling him.
I really think I might die here.
I tried to nod my head frantically, but I couldn’t move properly.
“What is your purpose in coming here?”
“I, I don’t know either. I just told them to stop anyone trying to get in here…”
If the Awakened are mobilized on such a large scale, it must be a very important task.
There was no way a low-level person like himself would have key information.
However, even this guy had his own way of extracting information.
“Really? Well then, it’s a shame, but—”
“Well, it seemed like you were looking for something!”
Did you feel that death was right around the corner?
He just blurted out what he had guessed from what he had seen and heard.
“What?”
“I’m not sure what you’re looking for, but… I think you’re looking for a fixed dungeon.”
A man who speaks his mind cautiously.
If you are looking for control while being prepared to incur the resentment of other Awakened people, then there is no one else but Gordon.
Gordon could make astronomical profits if it were a big hit, so it made sense that the guild would pour manpower into it.
But that means…
‘I think these guys also know about the tears of God?’
-Really? How did you know?
Knowing it in itself wasn’t that important.
The important thing is…
“So, did you find it?”
“Oh, I don’t think I’ve found it yet. The executives were getting angry a while ago, asking if I still haven’t found it… They were so angry.”
As the saying goes, this place was incredibly vast.
If we simply consider the area, it is larger than the inaccessible castle where Seoian was.
This must have been one of the ancient centers.
‘furthermore…’
Unlike other achievements where you can’t go here, monsters appear.
It wasn’t easy to kill monsters and find hidden places in this vast place.
-Of course, if it were that easy to find, I wouldn’t have had such a hard time.
‘How long did it take you?’
-2 years?
‘To that extent?’
-This took longer because it was done individually.
‘but.’
If you search this vast place alone, there’s nothing you can do.
As Hyunseong was lost in thought, the man began to plead.
“Seo, I don’t know how you did it, but could you please untie this?”
More than being subdued, I was afraid of not being able to move my body.
Because even if someone were to cut off his own neck right away, he wouldn’t be able to put up any resistance.
“I, I belong to the Phoenix Guild. The entire Phoenix Guild is here right now, so if you do this, we’ll be in real trouble.”
Although his tone was polite, as his life depended on it, it was no different from a threat.
Just recognizing that you are in a dangerous situation and not yelling at people to let you go when you are talking nicely would make you one of the top 10 percent of people with common sense.
Hyunseong, who only makes men faint out of mercy.
“If this were my workshop, there wouldn’t be a problem… but what should I do?”
The Phoenix Guild is neither small nor large.
A single guild could control a city.
It was crazy for just the two of us to pick a fight when all the guilds were there.
In response to Seoian’s question, Hyunseong stroked his chin as if he was thinking deeply about something.
‘hmm?’
What entered Hyunseong’s crimson eyes as he sat quietly thinking.
They were the Awakened ones who had been chased out by the Phoenix Guild and were trying to go somewhere else.
