Monster Heavenly King - Chapter 91
Only Noblemtl
91. Succubus (2)
Succubus.
Also known as Mongma (夢魔), they are a race that is as famous as, and in some ways more famous than, elves in fantasy.
As the saying goes, a man becomes bright just by having the strength to lift a spoon, it would be a lie to say that Hyunseong didn’t have high expectations since he was also a man.
‘To be honest, I expected a lot.’
I’m not saying that I want to do something about it, but wouldn’t a man just want to see such a race at least once?
When he was a Cheonma, there were many women who tried to seduce him, but aren’t they all human after all?
It would be strange for a normal man not to have expectations of a succubus who was born that way, the best and most fundamental being in that field.
But as of today, the image of the succubus within me has been shattered.
-Actually, that was a fatal temptation like a skill just now, but maybe it didn’t die because you’re undead?
‘How could that be?’
-Otherwise, it wouldn’t make sense!
Seol-ah tried hard to raise her voice, but Hyun-seong’s mind had already left.
Hyunseong wipes his face with his hand bones as if he can no longer stand to look at Leah, who is posing intently.
“Go and drink some more breast milk.”
“I don’t have a mom.”
“… … ”
“You have it, right?”
For a moment, the thought of just cutting down all the succubi and awakened ones crossed my mind.
Why do these weirdos keep hanging around me lately?
-If there are a lot of weird people around you, doesn’t that mean you’re weird too?
“It’s natural for me to be weird.”
Seol-ah, who had been trying to tease him when he obediently agreed, let out a questionable voice.
Of course, I knew he would refute me by saying he was normal.
-What, aren’t you admitting it too easily?
“If it doesn’t get weird when you reach this level, that’s even scarier.”
-… Your narcissism has reached its peak. Where has your humility gone?
“When I reached this point, I realized one thing.”
-Have you realized?
“At this level, humility is a sin.”
The level he had just reached was such that those who had reached it would remain as legends throughout the long history of martial arts.
If you try to be humble when you reach that level, you will only be called hypocritical.
So Hyunseong decided not to be humble any longer.
-But wasn’t it like that before?
“That’s true.”
Even before he attained enlightenment, he was called the best in the world as a Heavenly Horse, so he was not particularly humble.
In the end, it turned out that nothing had changed.
Alyssa quickly realized that Hyunseong had no hostility towards her and sighed in relief before speaking to Leah.
“Miss, let’s go back now.”
“But I think it would be good to make that skeleton servant! He’s so strong! Why isn’t my charm working?!”
Leah makes a face as if she doesn’t understand English.
I’m just amazed that I ever thought that would actually work.
And not just one, but two.
“Let’s go back and ask Celine when she wakes up.”
At that time, it was Seol-ah, not Leah, who reacted to Alyssa’s words.
-Celine? If it’s Celine… that succubus I know?
“…?”
“…?”
It took the two succubi a moment to understand what the sword was saying.
And then, after understanding it, they each reacted differently.
“How dare you insult the Succubus Queen. Don’t you value your life!”
“What?! The sword spoke?! And you know Mom?”
-A succubus queen?! That half-assed bastard?! And her mother?!
After a moment of confusion.
Hyunseong listens to the conversation quietly and organizes the information he has learned.
“So… Seol-ah knew a succubus named Celine, and that succubus is now the Succubus Queen and Leah’s mother?”
-I think so.
“Half a penny! Lady Celine is the queen who is more suitable for a succubus than anyone else!”
“Is that so?”
-There’s one thing you’re overlooking right now.
“What are you overlooking?”
Hyunseong tilted his head.
I wonder if I’m missing something.
Seol-ah answers that question with an extremely serious voice.
-That’s what Alyssa said, not any other succubus.
“ah.”
Only after hearing that far could I understand what he was saying.
I thought she was a succubus with common sense because she was the most suitable for being a succubus.
It was a part that could not help but change depending on who spoke.
“They can’t be the same person, right?”
-It’s hard to imagine that there would be two succubi with the same name. Besides, succubi have semi-permanent lifespans, so there’s a chance they’re still alive.
“Fantasy is amazing.”
Some say that you have to become incredibly strong to escape life and death or slow down aging.
Just being born into a race is enough to grant you eternal life.
– A girl who couldn’t even look men in the eye because she was scared of them is now a succubus queen. This is the end of the world…
“Can you call that a succubus…?”
-So I created a magic that absorbs regular energy and taught it to you.
“Mom said I had an older sister who taught me magic… No way?!”
“that…”
Leah and Alyssa are shocked at the sight of the sword.
Hyunseong looked blankly at Seol-ah.
‘Were you a woman?’
It was hard to say for sure, but if you were to ask whether it was male or female, it seemed closer to female.
Since I heard it directly like this, I thought I should check it out.
-Where does a sword have a gender? It’s just that if I were a man, she’d be scared, so she called me “sister” and followed me. My user at the time was also a woman, so we traveled together for a while.
Seol-ah was born with a sword and lived with a sword.
So now I can’t say what my gender is.
Hyunseong laughed, his teeth chattering, at Seol-ah’s remark that was so similar to his own.
-How are you, Celine?
“that is…”
Leah hesitates to speak, mumbling something.
In the end, the answer came not from her, but from Alyssa next to her.
“I feel a little unwell.”
Hyunseong looks at Leah and scolds her at those words.
“So you said earlier that you were leaving your sick mother behind? Have you ever seen such an unfilial son of a bitch?”
-I told you to drink more breast milk before you come.
“No, I didn’t know…”
-Isn’t that what criminals usually say?
“… … ”
At that time, we were having a conversation that seemed like it wasn’t of this world.
Alyssa opened her mouth cautiously.
“Could you possibly cure our queen?”
-No, I can’t say anything until I see the condition.
“Then… I will invite you! Please.”
Alyssa bows her head politely.
Leah was also looking at him with an expectant look.
-What do you want to do?
“Why don’t you go and see for yourself?”
I tried to catch the Awakened One because I was just in a bad mood, not because I had to.
And, if there is a place where succubi gather, wouldn’t it be possible to see for sure what a real succubus is like?
-You still haven’t gotten over your foolishness…
“Citrus.”
Even though he was a great man, he was helpless.
.
.
.
“Then excuse me.”
As Alyssa snapped her fingers, magical powers surged and a thin film formed around Hyunseong.
-It’s a transparency magic.
“Transparency?”
“Yes, it is a measure to prevent the succubus’ location from being exposed.”
“indeed.”
Isn’t it quite serious?
It’s been about a year since fog spread across the dry forest.
I think I know why there have been reports of succubi sightings for some time, but no one has found them.
‘But there’s a transparency spell, so why is it on me?’
“Then please follow me.”
Two succubi fly up while saying so.
And then he looked down at himself from the air as if telling me to hurry.
Hyunseong stares at the two people without saying anything.
“No, what do you want me to do?”
“…Are you not feeling well?”
“Why do you think you can fly so easily?”
“… … ”
It seemed like something so obvious to me as a succubus that I had overlooked it.
“Uh, what should I do?”
“This is my first time experiencing something like this…”
“Just hold on to me and fly.”
It wasn’t impossible to walk in thin air, but it wasn’t easy either.
Can’t you just blindly follow without even knowing where the destination is?
Ultimately, the easiest way was for one person to carry themselves.
Since it’s just a bone, it won’t weigh much anyway.
However, the two of them looked troubled by his words.
“If you hold hands, won’t you get pregnant?”
“… … ”
-… …
What on earth is a succubus?
Hyunseong was deeply troubled.
At that moment, Purungi, who had been clinging to him, stretched out his body with a jerk.
Then the mucus changed into the shape of wings.
“This is…”
Purrrrrr!
-I was able to do this because I ate the items imbued with magic earlier.
“Doesn’t it seem more useful than Seol-ah?”
-What?!
“But, other than cutting, all you can do is talk.”
-That’s because I’m sealed! And you’re talking nonsense! How amazing is the knowledge I have! You’re the only one who’s talking nonsense!
Whether Seol-ah talks or not.
Purungi flapped her wings, pleased with Hyunseong’s praise.
Phew!
-You be quiet!
Plurng…
“Why are you killing our baby?”
-joy.
Minor incidents passed, and Hyunseong flew up following Leah and Alyssa.
Two succubi and a skeleton rising vertically into the sky.
“Is it heaven where there is a succubus?”
“yes.”
At first, a barrier that felt exactly like a rock appeared, but the second time, it was a distorted barrier.
And the third is the sky.
“The hidden methods are so novel.”
“The Queen made it that way because she thought the sky was the safest place.”
“You made it?”
“Yes, Your Majesty is also good at handling magic.”
I don’t know if that’s something that’s possible simply by being good at magic.
Hyunseong, who had flown into the sky like that, soon disappeared into the clouds.
“Indeed, it is hidden in the clouds.”
“Yes, because it’s always cloudy here and no one thinks it’s strange.”
“Then the fog below is…”
“It’s a trap. If you keep doing that, they’ll think you’re somewhere in the fog and just keep searching through the fog.”
“You used your head a lot.”
“And there’s another reason!”
“Any other reasons?”
“miss.”
“Oh, that was a secret.”
Leah covered her mouth in a hurry.
I didn’t bother asking because I didn’t think he’d tell me a secret.
The place we arrived at was a castle that was larger than we had expected.
Seeing the castle in the dark clouds gave me a dreamy feeling.
-… …
“what’s the matter?”
Hyunseong tilts his head, feeling something strange as Seol-ah doesn’t say anything from the moment she sees him.
However, Seol-ah just continued to look around as if she was checking something.
“I will serve you right away.”
Alyssa guided him to the magnificent gate on the castle side.
Hyunseong tilted his head.
Because no matter where I looked, it didn’t look like a throne room.
“Aren’t you seeing it in a place like the audience room?”
“The Queen is not feeling well…”
Are you so uncomfortable that you have to meet your guests in their rooms?
Since it seemed like it would never end if he were to point them out one by one, Hyunseong decided to first meet the queen.
Alyssa knocks and goes in without waiting for an answer.
As soon as Hyunseong entered the room, he felt like he knew why.
“… Wasn’t it just a little bit?”
The Succubus Queen was not at the level of being unable to move, but was lying down and sleeping soundly.
If you don’t even notice someone coming in, is it because you’re deeply asleep or because you can’t wake up?
Hyunseong sighed and looked at Seol-ah.
“Do you know why this is so?”
-I can tell just by looking at it.
Seol-ah sighed as if she was disappointed with her own question.
In an instant, the two succubi’s gazes were drawn to Seol-ah.
And Seol-ah spoke as if a doctor were giving a diagnosis.
-I’m overworked.
