Monster Heavenly King - Chapter 96
Only Noblemtl
96. Succubus (7)
Seoian mutters as if it were a given.
What are you talking about when you say that this method is chosen because that is not possible now?
Hyunseong, who was about to say that, suddenly thought about Seoian’s words.
“So, it is possible to move to the castle?”
“What could go wrong?”
“Until the castle floated in the clouds and fog. According to Celine, it would be difficult to move the castle in its current state.”
“Oh, really? Then…”
Seoian seemed to have finally understood what he had said, and was lost in thought.
There was a moment of silence, then she looked at Celine and asked.
“Can I check how the magic is being performed?”
“Huh? Oh, yes.”
The banshee and the succubus begin to talk about magic.
I heard it briefly, but it was difficult to understand a single word it was saying.
And after a while.
“Problem resolved.”
“already?”
“I just need a little help.”
“It’s comfortable, it’s comfortable.”
Her mere presence solved the problem neatly.
If it weren’t for Seoian, we might have had a lot of trouble while moving.
I realized once again how important personal connections are.
-I could have done it too, if only the seal had been released!
“Why didn’t you say that?”
-Really! If only I could be released from the seal-
“Okay, okay. I’ll let you go someday, so let’s postpone your activities for a bit.”
Since it was something that had always been said, Hyunseong decided to just let it go.
I couldn’t solve it now anyway.
They said they would release him someday, but no one knew when that would come.
The castle begins to move with Seoian’s help.
Hyunseong was quietly watching the castle moving above the thick clouds.
-What are you looking at like that?
“No, I just find it interesting.”
-Isn’t that strange? There’s nothing but clouds?
“No, not a cloud, but a flying castle.”
I have seen enough scenes of thick clouds in the martial arts world.
Because if you climbed to the top of any mountain in the Sipmandaesan Mountains, you would often see such a sight.
But, what you will see is not the clouds moving, but the castle moving through the clouds.
Who would have thought that they would live to see such a sight?
-What, there’s no flying castle?
“It’s not common. It’s probably not common where you live.”
-It’s not that rare.
“Is that all?”
“No, it’s just that you go to places like that a lot.”
Seoian, who had come over to me without me noticing, muttered as if he was very angry.
In fact, it wasn’t something that was easy to see even in the world Seol-ah lived in.
However, for Seol-ah, who used to come and go from places like forbidden areas as if it were a meal, it was just a common sight.
“But where are you planning to land this castle?”
“Huh? You’re not going to let me land?”
“…then?”
“Just leave it floating on top.”
“… Is that okay?”
Even if the fog clears, the burden on Celine won’t change much as long as the castle remains afloat.
However, she shrugged her shoulders as if she knew what Hyunseong was worried about.
“If you just go to my workshop, you’ll find a way to show off your skills to this extent.”
“indeed.”
Then Celine won’t have to strain herself.
Seoian, who had been quietly looking at the clouds, looked at Hyeonseong and asked.
“By the way, do you have family outside?”
“I have a younger brother who is older than me.”
“Shall I find out how you are doing?”
“Now that you mention it, I guess you can go outside too.”
Hyunseong was lost in thought for a moment.
Because I definitely thought that if it was Seoian, I could trust her and leave it to her.
But soon he shook his head.
“No, I want to find out news about my brother myself.”
“Then there’s nothing I can do. If you need help, just tell me. Since we’re in the same situation, I can help you out to that extent.”
“I’m glad to hear that. What about you?”
“Well, I come see you sometimes. I just watch you from afar and can’t talk to you though.”
He confirmed that surveillance was in place around his family as his identity was exposed.
I was afraid that if I approached him rashly, I would put his family in danger, so I only went to check on him occasionally.
“Then when I go out later, I’ll tell you about you. Write me a letter.”
“… No, like that?”
“Why am I like this?”
“Go and look in the mirror. If a skeleton comes, you’ll be shocked and faint.”
“Don’t worry about that. Of course I’ll return to human form.”
“What confidence? Is there any way to go back?”
“I don’t know, maybe Ian Mong can solve it later.”
“You said you’d help me, but I’m not an all-purpose cat, right?”
While they were talking like that, the succubus’ floating castle arrived at the inaccessible castle.
“Well, if we stay here, we’ll be safe for a while.”
At Seoian’s words, the succubi flew around and inspected the castle they could not enter.
They smiled, seemingly content with their new home.
Celine approached and bowed her head to Hyunseong and Seoian.
“I would like to express my gratitude on behalf of the succubus. Thank you very much.”
Celine expresses her heartfelt gratitude.
In fact, succubi were not a race that was treated very well even among the demon race.
As the queen of the succubus, she has met countless beings so far, but the beings that are interested in her are only interested in the pleasures that a succubus can provide.
As long as it was fun for them, succubi were the only beings who didn’t care what happened to them.
‘however…’
Hyunseong and Seoian were different.
Although they had a connection called Seol-ah, this was the first time they had seen someone willing to help them.
Of course, it may not be purely out of goodwill, but it is at least something to not think of the succubus as a slave.
“I’m glad you like it. The castle is the center of my workshop, so no one can enter, but you can use the other areas as you wish.”
“You really have incredible skills. The barrier technique is so complicated that it’s hard to even understand.”
“Oh, come to think of it, do succubi have any reason to go out? How to pass through the distortion barrier—”
Two people talking about magic.
Hyunseong slowly moved away.
‘I have no idea what you’re talking about.’
-Is the translation going well?
‘No, I understand what you say, but I don’t understand.’
If martial arts are more about the sensory aspect than the theoretical aspect because they use the body, magic is the exact opposite.
Theory of extremes.
Although there is a sensory aspect to it, I placed more importance on theory in order to develop my skills.
He was still not at the level of a toddler, so he couldn’t even understand a single bit of the conversation between Celine and Seo-Ian, and so he got out.
As soon as I came out of the balcony, I ran into Celine’s daughter, Leah.
“ah.”
“I don’t do servants.”
“… You haven’t said anything yet!?”
“I was going to say that.”
“Have you learned how to read minds?”
“I can tell that much just by looking at it.”
Hyunseong’s teeth are chattering.
Leah peeked out her head and looked toward the balcony, then made a tired expression.
“Mom, here we go again.”
“also?”
“I can’t do anything when it comes to magic.”
She couldn’t help but take a keen interest in magic, believing that magic was what a succubus needed to move forward.
And that’s why succubi could change like this.
“You too, study by following his example. That way, your magical skills will improve.”
Hyunseong, who was talking to his younger brother who was a student, clicked his teeth as he had a habit of doing.
Then she opened her mouth with a sullen expression.
“I can’t use magic.”
“Huh? Why?”
“I don’t know. I can’t use magic.”
“Magic?”
“Yeah, I can use magic, but no matter how hard I try, I can’t use magic.”
Is that possible?
Seol-ah couldn’t give a clear answer to Hyun-seong’s question.
-That’s unusual.
There were indeed rare cases of people being unable to use magic power at all.
However, you can use magical power, but you cannot use magic.
I myself had never seen it before.
“Since I can’t use magic, the only way to become stronger is to make a contract with another being as my servant.”
“So that’s why you sang the Servant Servant song.”
“Right. What do you think? Are you thinking of becoming my servant now?”
“If something can’t be done, it can’t be done.”
“too bad…”
“Give up.”
Hyunseong, who had been giving up like that, became interested in Leah’s special constitution and reached out to her.
“Can you give me a hand for a second?”
“What?!”
Leah steps back, wrapping her arms around herself.
She had a very nervous expression on her face.
“You want to be a wife instead of a father?!”
“Oh, well, I said holding hands won’t make you pregnant…”
“lie!”
Even if it was wrong, from Leah’s perspective, it was common sense that she had believed in all her life.
But how can we believe it when it is denied without any evidence?
“It’s true.”
“Then how do you get pregnant? Tell me!”
“… … ”
-… …
I never thought that one day I would have to give sex education to a succubus.
Hyunseong was worried about what to say and eventually-
“Just kiss me.”
I decided to leave it to someone else.
Seol-ah gives a brief evaluation of Hyun-seong’s judgment.
-Coward.
‘Then will you explain?’
-… Let’s do it like that because I think Celine will get really angry if we do that.
Are you saying that you would have done that if it weren’t for Celine?
However, since there were many people who made her angry recently, Seol-ah seemed to have become more cautious.
After hearing Hyunseong’s answer, Leah’s face turned bright red like an apple.
“KiKiKiKi, Kiss!? Do you really have to do something so shameless?!”
If you have this much of a seizure just from the word kiss, wouldn’t you faint if you found out the truth?
Hyunseong nodded.
“that’s right.”
“That, that…”
She seemed to believe her own words, even though she was confused.
And then Leah asks carefully.
“Does hand kissing count as well?”
“… No. That’s okay.”
“thank god.”
Leah sighs in relief.
Hyunseong also sighed.
How on earth can there be such a pure succubus?
It was absurd.
“But then why did you ask for my hand?”
“No, I just wanted to take a quick look to see why I can’t use magic.”
“You know what?! Does that mean I can use magic?!”
Leah’s eyes sparkle.
Being able to use magic was something she had always wished for her entire life.
The momentum was so great that even Hyunseong inadvertently took a step back.
“No, we need to check that to know. Maybe we can solve it.”
“Come on! Take a look as much as you want!”
I’ve heard the saying, “maybe.”
She held out both hands towards Hyunseong.
Since it was too much of a hassle to explain everything one by one, Hyunseong decided to just check the condition first.
He placed the tip of his wrist bone on Leah’s wrist and focused his senses.
He breathed a little of his energy into it.
and,
“hmm?”
A bewildered voice leaked out between Hyunseong’s teeth, who felt something strange.
Leah tilts her head at her own reaction.
“what’s the matter?”
“No, wait a minute.”
Hyunseong wondered if he had been mistaken and once again breathed his energy into Leah’s body.
and,
‘I’m not mistaken…?’
I confirmed that I was not feeling bad.
Seol-ah, who was examining Leah’s body in a different way than Hyun-seong, also rang the sword with a bewildered voice.
-What is this…?
‘I know.’
The reason Hyunseong and Seol-ah were so surprised was simple.
Because there was an incredible amount of energy sleeping inside her that was hard to imagine.
It feels like looking at a lake so large that you can see the horizon.
‘furthermore…’
Her body filled with energy.
I knew the exact same features as that body.
‘This is… the Nine Yin Segmentation Vessel.’
