Episode 59

Clear sky, strong waves crashing on a windless day. Colored container boxes fell on it like showers.

“Geuuu-!”

Leviathan opened his mouth wide. The turbulent stream of water swirled and condensed in front of him, and fired at the will of the owner of the magical power.

The containers that fell with a loud roar were torn like water-soaked pieces of paper.

In front of the strong water pressure and mana, even hard iron could not withstand it. Torn pieces of debris fell with a splash.

‘I knew it.’

Taemin Kang did not think that he could damage Leviathan with just this amount of attack.

Because of this, he rushed the ship with full force while the Leviathan was focused on the container.

Leviathan bowed his head. The huge blade of water that fell along with it was poised to split the ship in two at once.

‘Where… !’

Of course, Kang Tae-min was not just watching. The ship leaned sideways as if lying down and drifted sideways as if surfing on a wave.

A feat capable of maneuvering with non-standard navigation abilities.

The blade, which had lost its aim, split the sea, and the ship rode the wave and aimed at the Leviathan’s side.

“Gaaa-!”

He seemed to be upset when things didn’t go his way. He pursued the ship by moving his massive body, not magic.

This time, even Kang Tae-min did not avoid it. I rammed the ship into the guy with all my might.

The results of that clash were disastrous.

The ship split with a roar and was submerged as it was, while the Leviathan was in good shape with only a few scales falling off.

‘I turned my attention.’

Naturally, Kang Tae-min escaped right before the collision. He watched the Leviathan turning in the sky and prepared for the next one.

In the first place, it is impossible to defeat Leviathan with only container and ship headbutting.

His plan was different.

“Huh-?”

Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

Leviathan let out a strange cry. I dealt with all the iron chunks that were bothering me, because a strange movement was detected in the sea.

It turned my body around.

Beneath the surface, there was something. The black figure quickly surfaced and raised a column of water.

“Gaah-!”

Protruding from the water column was a huge metal arm. A huge mechanical doll appeared beyond the falling water column.

It was ‘Auto Ultra’, one of the top-level Machina objects that Taemin Kang built from the scattered wreckage.

Furthermore, arbitrary actions were possible, including the clone consciousness created by Kang Tae-min.

‘The mana consumption is no joke… !’

Kang Tae-min felt a deep sense of exhaustion at the ability to write in succession. But I couldn’t stop here.

Autoultra wrapped around Leviathan’s neck, immobilized him, and dug out his eyes. An indescribable scream rang out.

At Leviathan’s fierce resistance, Auto Ultra’s body was ripped apart piece by piece.

However, unlike Leviathan, Auto Ultra’s damage was quickly restored.

‘I’m at a disadvantage if it’s a long-term battle.’

It wasn’t just because of mana. It was clear that the association would notice if the battle was prolonged.

In order to recover the Blood Shiok, a speedy decision is inevitable.

His clone consciousness inherent in Auto Ultra made the same judgment.

“Geuuu-!”

The giant mechanical doll violently grabbed Leviathan’s mouth. Whether his fingers were broken or not, it forced the guy’s mouth open.

‘done… !’

Taemin Kang descended right into it.

Leviathan’s internal organs were enlarged to match his body.

After passing through a huge esophagus that resembled a subway passage, Kang Tae-min was able to reach the top of the Leviathan.

It was said to be above, but because of its size, it felt like entering a living dungeon.

Walls and ceilings made of wriggling mucous membranes, and even puddles made of acidic gastric juices dripping little by little. It is not unreasonable to see it as a different world.

‘Besides, there are monsters.’

Most of all, it was the Leviathan’s parasites that bothered them. It was the size of a bull and was covered in hard uppers, and its eight legs were equipped with sickle-sharp claws.

“Shaak-!”

“Shahahaha!”

As if recognizing Kang Tae-min as their new prey, they opened their mouths and glistened green eyes.

‘Mana consumption is minimized.’

Kang Tae-min held the anti-monster weapon, Rip and Tear, in both hands. A cool, heavy sensation passed through his hand.

It’s been quite a while since I faced a monster rather than a villain.

The saw blade began to turn with a chirping sound.

“Charah-!”

The parasites came like a tidal wave. But they couldn’t keep their formation.

A roar echoed through the wall of the stomach. Outside, the scuffle between Auto Ultra and Leviathan was in full swing.

“Shaat-!”

“Shaaak-!”

When Leviathan’s body shakes, of course the inside shakes as well. Kang Tae-min knew about it, but the parasite did not.

Kang Tae-min skillfully coped with it and began to cut the parasitic water that jumped out.

Despite the turbulent environment, Kang Tae-min’s acrobatic movements, and the parasitic beasts’ superiority in numbers, they could not take advantage of the advantage at all.

Pouring blood and piling up the corpses of my fellow countrymen. Parasitic beasts were a tribe faithful to their instincts, and they recognized the strong according to their instincts.

“Shah, shah-aaak-!”

“Shahahaha-!”

They started to run away with the only thought that they had to live. Kang Tae-min didn’t bother chasing them.

The most important thing right now was Blood Shiok. The problem was that even Kang Tae-min did not know exactly where Blood Si-ok was.

‘Still, it’s not difficult to find out.’

Not only the blood on the suit, but also the pooled blood on the floor was flowing like a river. The torn flesh was being swept along the current as if attracted by a magnet.

‘Did they gather fraud in this way?’

Kang Tae-min traced that flow. However, he soon ran into another difficulty.

It was because the residue was seeping into the wall of the stomach.

‘It must be difficult with this.’

Kang Tae-min shook his head as he split the wall with a rip-and-tear. Slitting the wall of the stomach and making a passage were two different things.

‘then.’

He put the two bladed swords together and molded them anew. The blade curved into a spiral, and the handle lengthened.

It was a long spear with a large drill instead of a blade. Kang Tae-min immediately plugged it into the stomach wall and turned the drill.

At the same time, the Leviathan shook violently.

“Performance sure.”

The wall of the stomach was torn, and blood poured down like a waterfall. But apart from that, the sound of pouring water was heard.

‘this… !’

It was the seawater that came in. It was clear that the Leviathan was about to return to the seabed.

Auto Ultra should still be holding on to it, but it was unknown how long it could last.

‘We need to secure it before we release it… !’

When water above a certain level rises above the Leviathan, it automatically reflexively discharges the water.

I didn’t know if I was caught up in that pressure, all my efforts would be in vain.

‘I’m properly grasping the situation.’

Walls began to approach from all sides. It was clear that Auto Ultra was compressing the abdomen to prevent the inflow of seawater.

Kang Tae-min decided to leave the situation outside. He adjusted the drill, concentrating on where the blood pouring from the wall of his stomach seeped into.

Wait a minute to go that way.

The other side was pierced with a thud.

“Blood Shiok… !”

A dark red jewel bigger than Kang Taemin. It was different in shape from the Life Vessel that Nekrod had improved, but the overflowing morale was the same.

he didn’t hesitate

I immediately inserted the drill into the bloody jade and turned it. The surface began to grind away as Kaga shook it.

“this… !”

However, Kang Tae-min also had an unexpected situation. The black energy that flowed out of Blood Shiok began to encroach on the surroundings.

Unlike Necrod’s Life Vessel, fraud that was not controlled by necromancy was leaked to the outside.

The condensed fraud began to corrupt the surroundings in an instant, and Kang Tae-min was no exception.

‘I almost got in trouble.’

However, Kang Tae-min was alive and well. It was because he immediately replaced his body with metal.

No matter how condensed the morale was, it couldn’t have any effect on inorganic matter.

Then, the Blood Siok, which could not withstand the crack, was shattered. The frauds released along with it fueled corruption.

‘This is it.’

Kang Tae-min looked at the crystals floating among the pieces of Blood Si-ok.

‘A medium that replaces the soul of the dead with mana.’

This was the essence contained in the blood jade, and it was the factor that caused Nekrod to grow rapidly.

Kang Tae-min grabbed the crystal and stuck it into the center of the suit. A thin iron wire split like weft and warp thread dug into the crystal.

Necrod’s Life Vessel built a mana circuit with blood and replaced it with iron wire and rebuilt it.

Kang Tae-min’s mana instead of ordinary iron

If the suit is released, part of his body will be replaced with metal and sealed.

‘Is it like this?’

Could it be because of the fusion with the crystal?

I could feel the energy flowing through the visor of my helmet like a haze.

It was the soul of Leyvatan, who was dying and decaying due to the fraud spewing out of the bloody prison.

‘There is no reason not to have it.’

Like Necrod, Kang Tae-min was able to increase his mana by swallowing the souls of the dead.

From now on, killing the villain would not only change the world for the better, but also make Kang Tae-min stronger.

Kang Tae-min expressed his will.

The soul of Leviathan, the tyrant of the deep, began to be absorbed by him.

The huge mana contained in that soul rushed in like a tidal wave.

* * *

Before Leviathan’s death.

The deep-sea monsters that frightened everyone turned into chunks of meat in the hands of the two.

Nevertheless, Rosalyn and Pyo Ji-hoon faced each other and stood tight.

“Since I came back first, of course I won!”

“Wasn’t who first ‘handled’ the bet? I’ve seen all the guys I’ve been in charge of die sooner.”

“No, do you attack monsters once or twice? Of course, ‘processing’ includes the process of returning home!”

“It’s true, you’re pushing yourself that far. Even though I’m young, I’m mature, so I’ll give it to you.”

“Hey!”

Rosalyn gave a tantrum.

But the debate didn’t go any further.

<You two, this is an emergency!>

Bae Seung-joo’s voice came through Rosalyn’s walkie-talkie.

The expression of the two people changed at once.

“What happened?!”

<A huge magic wave was detected from the port side!>

“Harbor?”

<I don’t know the exact situation. All the CCTVs were destroyed, and the drone was just recovered… ! I dispatched security hunters who had been placed in the shelter for now.>

“Ah, then… .”

“You want us to check it out too.”

Pyo Hoon intercepted Rosalyn’s answer. She glanced at him and put actions instead of words.

It was quite a distance since they had to travel in opposite directions, but the two were able to reach the port shortly after.

The security hunters who arrived first could be seen standing there.

“oh… .”

“her.”

Similar to them, the two also let out short bursts.

There was no mess like this. All the ships that had been anchored were overturned, and all the warehouses, let alone CCTVs, were destroyed.

“It’s good that the head of the headquarters took all the stuff out.”

Fortunately, it was the fact that all prototypes were distributed for the protection of the general public.

“sister.”

In the meantime, Pyo Ji-hoon frowned. Rosalyn immediately understood why he had called her.

“What else is that? Is it an island?”

Doesn’t a black island appear over the horizon? At those words, Pyo Ji-hoon shook his head.

“That is not an island.”

The island got bigger and bigger. No, the island was getting closer.

Only then did Rosalyn and other Hunters know what it was.

“Mo, a monster corpse?”

“Oh my God, how big is this… .”

“Woo-wook… What does this smell like?”

Even the hunters who had gone through all the battles in the mountains had a stench that was hard to bear.

The corpse was so decomposed that it was difficult to recognize its original form.

“this… This is Leviathan.”

However, Pyo Ji-hun recognized the identity of the body. Those words shocked everyone around.

“Le, Leviathan… ?!”

“Isn’t it a Code Red class monster?”

“Why are monsters like that… ?”

While everyone was confused, Rosalyn tilted her head.

“Looking at the state of decay, it looks like it has been dead for quite some time. But that can’t be… .”

“Yes, because it hasn’t been long since I sensed the magic wave.”

“You can’t believe he died in that short amount of time?!”

Pyo Ji-hoon shrugged.

“Actually, it would have taken a little longer. Even if the magic wave is emitted, it will take time to reach the control tower.”

“Still, considering the time, it’s too fast, but I guess I’m already injured… ?”

Rosalyn murmured and tilted her head from side to side.

“Maybe it is. The magic wave may have been detected during Leviathan’s last stand.”

“But you made Leviathan this far?”

“Don’t you know what lurks in the deep sea?”

Everyone shook their heads at Pyo Ji-hoon’s answer.

It was more credible to speculate that the Leviathan, who had already been injured, had eventually died while running away, rather than that someone had made a normal Leviathan into this shape.

‘But if someone did this… .’

Pyo Ji-hoon thought about the possibility of what if. Contrary to that expectation, if that ‘someone’ exists, only one person comes to mind.

‘I expected it to be on par with me, but maybe even more.’

A mysterious collaborator who came to him.

Pyo Ji-hoon decided to keep that possibility in mind.

* * *

The emergency was lifted, the situation calmed down, and it was already evening.

Taemin Kang checked his smartphone.

[-Teacher Taemin? Are you okay?]

[-Sam? Are you okay?]

[-I saw the news! I’m really glad ㅠㅠ]

[-If you see it, please reply only once!]

It was a message from Seol Ga-eun.

As soon as the situation was lifted, reporters competitively posted breaking news.

[-it’s okay? It’s okay, right?]

[-Please, please be safe… ]

[-If I had known this would happen, I would have contacted you more often… ]

[-(This is a deleted message.)]

[-I saw the news! I’m so glad!]

[-don’t mind the message above.]

[-It’s okay if you don’t reply. I’m really glad you’re safe.]

Katherine also had a lot of talk. Taemin Kang replied to both of them.

“Everyone seems to be worried.”

Irua said in a slightly stiff tone. I didn’t peep on purpose, but Kang Tae-min checked her smartphone even though she was looking at it, so I saw it.

“Yeah, I think everyone is surprised. There was no answer from the group chat room, so it seems like you sent a gantalk.”

Kang Tae-min answered without hesitation. If it was the usual Eruah, it was something that would just pass by.

“None of them came to me.”

But she added a word. Taemin Kang looked at Leeruah blankly.

Stunned by that gaze, Irua hurriedly turned around.

“Noah and Minsu are late. I will bring it myself.”

After the situation calmed down, it was decided to play the postponed semi-final in the evening. Naturally, the final was postponed to tomorrow morning.

In Noblesse Academy, Lee Noah and Ko Min-soo advanced to the semifinals.

‘Say something… .’

She walked down the hallway and touched her forehead. It was a word that came out of a moment of anger.

It was because I wanted to see Kang Tae-min’s reaction.

As I walked with so much regret, my smartphone vibrated in my pocket. I wanted to check something out.

[-Are you okay?]

It was Kang Tae-min’s talk. Suddenly, I wanted something like this, but one more message appeared right away.

[-I got one with this one.]

She quietly put the phone back in her pocket. And I went to pick up Inoa and Ko Min-soo.

“It’s about time.”

“Yes.”

When Ko Min-soo answered obediently, Irua immediately left the room. Inoa stared at her from behind.

“… Why is your sister like that?”

“What are you talking about?”

“No, you look very happy?”

Go Min-soo narrowed his eyes.

“Is it the same as usual?”

“Um, no. i can tell I think something good happened.”

“It must be because you think you will win.”

“is it? Well, I need to focus now.”

Inoa shook his head.

The opponent in the quarterfinals was none other than the sword master’s son, Pyo Soo-ho.

“Win and come up. This time, I will give you a match that I couldn’t finish.”

“Sure.”

premise that he had already won.

To Ko Min-soo’s confident words, Inoa replied with a smile.

“let’s go.”

The stage for the semi-finals is a swamp, sinking swamp. The Noblesse team, led by Kang Tae-min, has arrived.

Park Hyun-ah and Pyo Soo-ho were seen on the other side. I saw her say something to Pyo Soo-ho. It was the last coaching opportunity before the match.

But Taemin Kang didn’t say anything. Inoa knew why.

“I will come and win.”

He’s already taught you everything you need.

Inoa showed fighting spirit and headed to the designated spot.
