Monster Heavenly King - Chapter 85
Only Noblemtl
85. Growth (2)
Hyunseong took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and began to use his internal energy to unleash his first attack.
His disciples were having a hard time blocking the attack he had launched.
Seol-ah watched, quietly allowing herself to be swung by Hyun-seong, but it didn’t seem like he was trying anything out of the ordinary.
Is it that you haven’t tried it yet, or that you tried it and failed?
I think so.
‘Hmm? This is…’
It wasn’t long before I felt something was a little different.
A power different from magic, the movement of internal energy was different than usual.
and,
‘My internal energy…’
It did not come from the present but flowed in from the outside.
No, wouldn’t it be more accurate to say that the surrounding energy sticks to you?
The energies that clung to him moved as if responding to Hyunseong’s will.
‘No, wait a minute.’
She felt the energy surrounding her more closely, as if she was inwardly astonished.
I wonder if I am feeling wrong, if I am mistaken.
I checked several times, but what I felt was not an illusion.
‘Is this real?’
What Hyunseong tried was not something that had any outward flashiness.
However, Seol-ah couldn’t help but feel respect for the new realm that Hyun-seong had reached.
You can move your energy by your own will.
‘This is…’
Isn’t it almost as if God is trying to move the world?
Hyunseong was one step away from that realm.
Of course, the power was still weak and clumsy, but just reaching that realm was tremendous.
“Whew, it’s still difficult.”
Hyunseong lets out a soft sigh.
Seol-ah couldn’t hold back her curiosity and rang the bell.
-What is this?
‘I told you, this is the enlightenment I gained this time.’
-No, you. Do you know how ridiculous you’ve been?
‘I know to some extent how great a realm I have stepped into.’
He knew better than anyone what kind of realm it was, having personally experienced it firsthand.
A realm beyond the limits of life and death, the realm of life and death.
It was generally said that the state he had achieved was the pinnacle of nothingness.
‘but…’
In theory, there was a higher realm.
A state of transcendence where one sheds the human body and becomes an immortal.
Natural scenery.
The prevailing opinion was that it was only theoretical and that it was impossible to reach that point.
However, Hyunseong had reached that level.
‘I think the first time I saw this realm was when I was fighting Nol.’
Because my internal energy was so lacking, I used my energy without filtering it.
At that time, I vaguely realized that I could move the world with just my own will.
I tried a few times after that, but it didn’t work as well as I expected.
‘Then next…’
When I fought Seoian.
By magically carving out space, I realized how to interfere with the world.
And the last one is when you get Purungi and come back and have a lucky breakfast.
I tried a new way of eating breakfast and felt as if the energy around me was being pulled in by gravity.
These three realizations are in harmony.
‘I discovered a hidden path that existed but was never seen.’
However, only the first step has been taken.
There’s still a long way to go.
Seol-ah let out a sigh of admiration after hearing his explanation.
-You are truly an incredible person.
In my entire life, I have never seen a being that has set foot on this level.
Hyunseong clicks his tongue and clicks his teeth in response to Seol-ah’s exclamation.
‘You just found out now?’
-No, that makes you really weak.
Even though he had taken a step towards the realm of the gods, his consciousness was still weak.
But, in a way, this was inevitable.
‘No, among the mind and body, the spirit body disappeared and only the mind body remains. What do you want me to do?’
Everything you have accomplished disappears, and all that remains is your heart.
In a situation where there was only one person left, it was actually amazing that Hyeonseong had come this far.
-But, according to your explanation, isn’t the realm of natural scenery something that can be controlled by will alone?
‘yes.’
-But you didn’t use your internal energy?
‘It’s proof that it’s not enough.’
The energy that filled the labyrinth was moving according to its own will, but it was either because the enlightenment was not perfect or because the skill was lacking.
Not everything could be solved by willpower alone.
I had no choice but to use my inner energy as lubricant to interfere with the world more gently.
‘Do you now realize how frustrated I have been?’
-That makes sense.
If Hyunseong had a proper body.
Of all the guys I’ve met so far, not a single one would have been able to withstand even one blow.
He must have been furious inside after fighting with guys who were not even as strong as his fists.
-How have you been holding back all this time?
‘What is patience?’
It was just accepting reality.
The fact that no matter what you do, you’re still a skeleton.
If you lose a fight and console yourself by saying, “If only my body had been intact,” won’t that change reality?
Understand the situation, don’t deny it, accept it as it is, and make the best choice in that situation.
That was one of his strengths.
‘The only time I almost broke down was when I first came back.’
When I lost everything and became a skeleton, no matter how wise I was, I wanted to deny reality.
Anyway, the experiment ended successfully.
-But there’s no way the disciples would know about this.
Even though the level was high, it was too high.
Now that we have started climbing the mountain, how can we possibly see Hyeonseong, who has broken through the clouds?
“Oh, is that so?”
Hyunseong muttered as if he had only just realized it.
My mind was ahead of its time because I wanted to experiment quickly.
Because he was so concerned about this, the disciples couldn’t help but think that Hyunseong was being more lenient than usual.
then,
“Well, you can show me that now.”
Hyunseong, who muttered like that, raised his internal energy.
And from that day on, rumors began to spread that strange screams were heard from the castle that could not be accessed.
.
.
.
“Keruk…”
“Profit…”
Brin and Rashi lying on the floor.
I fell asleep without even thinking about getting up because I was so exhausted.
Hyunseong nodded his head as if he was satisfied with pushing his disciples to their limits.
“It’s definitely a huge step forward.”
Hyunseong grits his teeth, satisfied with his disciples’ growth.
Brin’s case was really flawless and growing very quickly.
It was originally a labyrinth full of energy, but with the 4th floor filled with fraud, my internal energy was increasing explosively.
In addition, even with that explosive increase in internal energy, it is distributed accurately when using the first technique.
‘At first, I just took it as a way to pass the time…’
I never thought you’d be this talented.
It was just amazing.
It was the same with Rashi.
‘The hardest part of Pacheondo is the first section…’
Because, except for the mind method, it wasn’t much different from the Samjae sword method.
I wonder if I am getting stronger or if Hyunseong is deceiving me.
It was suspicious, but he followed along without complaint.
He devoted himself to his martial arts without a single doubt, and that became the driving force that allowed him to raise his level of skill to a certain level in just a few months.
‘Some people have outstanding individual talents.’
I was curious to see how strong Rashi would become if he continued to grow and evolve.
but,
‘I don’t really use stabbing.’
Even though the sword was a weapon suitable for swinging, it was not being used for stabbing.
It must be because I didn’t use it often from the beginning.
However, both the Samjae Sword Method and Pacheondo are like that.
There is a reason why there are only three herbivores.
“Well, this is something you have to figure out for yourself.”
If you get stuck later, you can give me some advice then.
Seol-ah, who was listening to her disciples’ evaluation, clapped her hands in disbelief.
-Well, compared to your growth rate, you’re like a firefly in front of the sun.
“No, to that extent… is that right?”
-A teacher who grows faster than his students.
Although Seol-ah had been living there for quite some time, it was a sight she had never seen before.
Hyunseong shrugged and opened his status window for the first time in a long while.
[Name: Kim Hyun-seong.]
[Race: Skeleton Lord]
[Characteristic: None]
[Level:40]
[Strength: 25 (+6)]
[Stamina: 15 (+3)]
[Endurance: 17(+2)]
[Agility: 15 (+2)]
[Magic Power: 16 (+4)]
[Points remaining: 11]
“Finally level 40?”
I caught the bone dragon and went up to level 3.
The reason I was able to climb this high despite it not being a monster with the level of difficulty expected to appear on the 4th floor was probably because I fought alongside Seoian.
She also said that she went up two levels.
Hyunseong stroked his chin as he looked at the translucent window that appeared before his eyes.
“How should I use the remaining points this time?”
Hyunseong is thinking about what ability he needs most right now.
It didn’t take long for the answer to come.
‘What we need most now is magic power.’
A rustling sound from the side.
It was because of this guy’s existence.
If you want to make full use of Purungi’s power, your current magical power is not enough.
It was at a level where I could barely last a minute.
‘Let’s increase the magic power first.’
Hyunseong invested 5 points into his magic power without holding back.
And the remaining points are 2 points each for stamina, agility, and endurance.
[Name: Kim Hyun-seong.]
[Race: Skeleton Lord]
[Characteristic: None]
[Level:40]
[Strength: 25 (+6)]
[Stamina: 17 (+3)]
[Endurance: 19 (+2)]
[Agility: 17 (+2)]
[Magic Power: 21 (+4)]
[Remaining points: 0]
Although strength is important, it wasn’t something I needed right now because I had been building it up steadily.
Besides, he had a fraudulent attack method that cut through space.
As my magic power increased by 5, I felt my insides fill up with magic power in an instant.
“How much more can I use at this rate?”
I haven’t really gotten a feel for it yet since I’ve only worn it once.
While I was quietly staring at the status window, something caught my eye.
“however…”
Hyunseong’s crimson eyes remained fixed on a single spot in the middle of the system, more precisely, on the trait section.
“When on earth will this thing awaken?”
It was pretty much the middle of the fourth floor, but there was no sign of awakening at all.
Hyunseong took out his smartphone and logged into the Awakened community to learn about the traits.
Some Awakened people awakened their characteristics as soon as they awakened, while others suddenly awakened their characteristics while conquering the labyrinth.
It was inconsistent and different for each awakened person.
“They say that in the early days, there were a lot of people with awakened special traits.”
-It seems like the awakening conditions are all different.
“Besides, the characteristics themselves are different.”
While some traits seem completely useless, others synergize with certain skills, others give increased effects from the moment you enter battle, and others seem like they would be fraudulent if used in battle.
There were many different characteristics.
“Aren’t there any similar characteristics?”
-I think so?
I searched the internet a bit more and found that there were no Awakened beings who had awakened exactly the same traits, although they were similar.
“There’s a reason why large guilds try to secure Awakened beings with good traits, no matter what they are.”
-Because this is a once in a lifetime opportunity.
Even if you let it rot, you can secure it and even keep it in check to prevent other guilds from getting their hands on it.
“And the information itself was lacking to begin with.”
-There is no need to reveal the information of the awakened person. It is not an obligation to disclose it.
Because there was so little information, it was difficult to properly guess the trait awakening conditions.
At that moment, while looking at his smartphone, a piece of writing caught Hyunseong’s eye.
[Title: Trait: Isn’t this an achievement?]
