Shouting didnt manage to assuage Kalasnegens anger, so he also slammed his tail on the ground.
In the meantime, Choi Yeonseung quickly checked his surroundings.
Given that hes managed to capture them, this is way more serious than I thought.
It was generally much harder to capture the enemy than to just kill them.
Although those household members were mortals, they received support from their constellations, which made it hard to believe that the chef constellation had just captured them.
We dont have to fight against him...
Come out, Chef of Endless Gluttony!
No, Kalasnegen!
Choi Yeonseung was startled. No matter how angry Kalasnegen felt, it wouldnt do him any good to provoke the chef constellation.
If a large number of household members have been captured, theres no way the constellations will retreat. A fight is inevitable, so wouldnt it be better to fight then?
I cant forgive such a cowardly constellation, not even for a second! Chef constellation, I will fight you in the name of my master!
Didnt he say shes sleeping?
Choi Yeonseung wanted to ask Kalasnegen if his master could actually come here, since she probably hadnt awakened from her drunken stupor, but stopped because he felt it would be too rude.
However, he suddenly sensed that there was someone else with them.
!
A storm of magic power swept in from a distance and gradually morphed into a hazy shape. The Chef of Endless Gluttony was still there.
Kalasnegen stood firm even against the constellations overwhelming presence.
Your cowardice has crossed the line! To think that a constellation would resort to such despicable trickery!
You have quite a lot of courage.Do you think I am afraid of the Snake of Alcohol and Dancing?
I dont care if youre afraid or not. Not even the weakest mortal in the Abyss would serve a cowardly constellation like you!
...
Choi Yeonseung felt terribly uncomfortable because it felt like Kalasnegen was condemning him as well.
However, the chef constellation was composed and confident, having dealt with all the household members who had tried to ambush him. In a nonchalant tone, he replied to Kalasnegens insults.
The Snake of Alcohol and Dancing has a pretty good household member, but youve picked the wrong opponent.Get lost! I have no grudge against the Snake of Alcohol and Dancing, but I am determined to do whatever it takes to get my revenge.You are going to be my prisoner too.
Lets see you try it! Kalasnegen hissed before gathering his strength.
The chef constellation found it ridiculous and reached out to attack, but he suddenly paused.
Wait, are you the household member of the Undefeated Incarnation of Training?
...Thats right.
Choi Yeonseung didnt really want to get involved in this situation, but that was obviously impossible since the chef constellation had already appeared.
The chef constellation thought for a moment before continuing, If you belong to the Undefeated Incarnation of Training...I will give you a chance.You may retreat.
[The Rider of Thirst and Famine angrily says that this better be a joke!]
[The Black Magician Who Shares Everything is furious]
[The Goddess of Pleasure and Lust insults this constellation!]
[The Beast of Swords and Spears...]
[...]
The evil god constellations, who were still frustrated over the defeat they had just suffered, barked insults at the chef constellation. It was unbelievable that this lunatic was attacking those around him without hesitation, but then he suddenly made an exception for the Undefeated Incarnation of Training.
Regardless, the chef constellation completely ignored them.
Go back.I have received a favor from your master.
Its not a bad thing...
Choi Yeonseung was somewhat grateful that the chef constellation gave him a pass, as he didnt want to fight at such a disadvantage. If he were to fight a constellation right then and there, Choi Yeonseung would have to unleash his true powers, but he couldnt afford to expose himself, so he would have to fight only using martial arts.
Such a fight would be truly brutal.
However, given the situation, it was clear what would happen next.
[The Arrogant Light Elf gives you a blessing.]
[The Monk Pursuing Glory...]
[...]
These constellations had suffered a tremendous defeat because of the chef constellations dirty trap, so now they were angrily blessing Choi Yeonseung.
In this situation, there wasnt much of a difference between the good and the evil god constellations.
[The constellations promise a reward!]
[They request that you injure the Chef of Endless Gluttony.]
Choi Yeonseung felt an endless surge of power within him. He felt that the power of these constellations was both similar and different from his own power.
It was worth trying to fight with this kind of power, especially since the constellations promised him a reward.
Im sorry, but thats not going to work.
It is too bad.I did warn you.
The chef constellation seemed genuinely sorry.
However, since I seek revenge, this is unavoidable.You shall also be my prisoner!
With these final words, the chef constellation attacked.
***
I have to be careful of his power.
Out of all mortals out there, Choi Yeonseung was perhaps the most familiar with how constellations fought.
No matter how outstanding and capable the other household members were, they had little experience fighting against constellations. Whenever household members fought constellations, they would get obliterated and their bones would never be found.
When confronting a constellation, one had to be most careful about their power. Every type of magic and offensive skills could be anticipated and countered.
A mortal had to be at least an archmage or an A-grade hunter to stand a chance against a constellation.
For example, if a constellations magic power was at ten thousand and a mortals magic power was at one hundred, it seemed like the constellation could destroy them instantly, but it was surprisingly doable for the mortal to hold on.
Each spell consumed only around ten points worth of magic power out of that one hundred.
Of course, constellations were generally more proficient at using magic, and they had various rare spells and possessed overall ten times more magic power than any mortal out there. If the battle dragged out, the mortal would naturally lose.
In any case, the very idea of a mortal standing up to a constellation defied common sense in the Abyss. That was because constellations had something that mortals didnt.
The power of existencea powerful force that only those who had reached the limits of their very existence could use. One couldnt unlock the power of existence by simply gaining skills and leveling up.
Constellations refined this power of existence and used it as their main power. For mortals who couldnt even comprehend this kind of power, it was no different than a natural disaster. They were powerful waves of destruction that they could never avoid!
Choi Yeonseung suddenly vanished, leaving hazy afterimages behind him.
He was blessed by various constellations and he didnt have to save his internal energy. Therefore, he was using his footwork at its full potential.
Only those who had reached the peak of martial arts could display such tremendous speed!
[The Monk Pursuing Glory compliments you!]
Even the spectating constellations were deeply impressed by Choi Yeonseungs moves. They had already known that he was strangely fast, but they had never thought he could take it one step further.
His movement was much faster than an archmages continuous or coordinated teleportation.
Bang!
Kalasnegen summoned a huge trident out of thin air and elegantly swung it as though it was part of a dance.
[Kalasnegen summons his masters power.]
[The power entrusted by the Snake of Alcohol and Dancing is shaking!]
!
!
Both Choi Yeonseung and the chef constellation were surprised.
It was rare for a household member in the Abyss to possess the power of their constellation. This proved that the Snake of Alcohol and Dancing fully trusted Kalasnegen.
...Or maybe she had given him her power because it was too troublesome for her to handle things personally.
You have the strength to talk like that!
The chef constellation also moved quickly, having no intention of being hit by this power.
The chef constellation had appeared in the form of a cloud of great power, but he realized that he would be at a disadvantage if his body spread over a wide area. Thus, he transformed into a small fairy and used a series of teleportations to threaten Kalasnegen.
He was attempting to first take down Kalasnegen, who was relatively slow, rather than the fast and unpredictable Choi Yeonseung.
Ugh...!
However, the chef constellation suddenly let out a groan. He felt dizzy and disoriented the moment he got close to Kalasnegen.
[The Dance of Deception, the power of Snake of Alcohol and Dancing, has subdued you!]
The only skill that could hurt a constellation was the power of another constellation.
The chef constellation tried to shake off the sensation of weakness by gathering his power of existence, but at that moment, Choi Yeonseung rushed in like a thunderbolt.
With rapid movements, he narrowed the distance instantly.
The chef constellation was forced to admit it.
Its said that a strong constellation has no weak household members. Hes truly worthy of serving the Undefeated Incarnation of Training!
Choi Yeonseung had been keen enough to seize the opportunity and attack when the chef constellation was stunned by the power of the snake constellation
There were few mortals in the Abyss who were brave enough to engage in close combat against a constellation.
Even those who usually only trusted their masters and were extremely arrogant would freeze before a constellation. It was only natural since there was a huge difference in their innate strength.
But occasionally, there would be a mortal brave enough to shake off the difference in strength and attack.
Its such a shame. If he hadnt been born human, he would be even greater! the chef constellation thought to himself before trying to suppress Choi Yeonseung.
The humans of Earth always swaggered around confidently, but to the Abyssal races, they were just a bunch of arrogant fledglings.
A weak race that lived in herds and disregarded individual strength.
!!!!
Shockingly, the attack of the chef constellation had no effect on Choi Yeonseung. The chef constellation looked at Choi Yeonseung with eyes full of astonishment. He wanted to understand what had just happened.
[The Rider of Thirst and Famine is whistling and cheering!]
[The Goddess of Pleasure and Lust claps!]
[...]
The spectating constellations, especially the evil god constellations, were very pleased. The Rider of Thirst and Famine praised Choi Yeonseung despite having just lost some subordinates to him. He clearly hadnt found out about that yet.
Can I ask what you just did?
I just let the attack flow past me.
The attack?As expected...
The chef constellation nodded in understanding. Moments ago, he had unleashed a massive burst of magic at the approaching Choi Yeonseung, lashing it out like a wide whip.
The chef constellation saw it like a whip, but from Choi Yeonseungs perspective, the attack seemed more like a giant surging wave.
Normally, he wouldnt be able to avoid such an attack unless he ran away from it. However, Choi Yeonseung had broken through the wave and approached the chef constellation.
To the chef constellation, this made no sense.
Such perfect technique...Amazing.It is rare to find someone who has honed their magic to this extent.
Even archmages rarely tried to hone a spell to the absolute limit. However, there were some mortals who were obsessed with one single spell and displayed unusual tricks with it.
A skill honed to the limit presented almost endless possibilities. Choi Yeonseungs martial arts were clearly at that level.
Why didnt you deal a blow?Im sure you had the chance to strike me.
I will give you a chance.
What chance?
A chance to retreat.
...!
The chef constellation was embarrassed and confused for a moment. Then he belatedly understood and closed his mouth.
When he had first appeared, he had given Choi Yeonseung the chance to retreat. However, this human had given up the opportunity to walk away and instead attacked him, ultimately returning his words.
It wasnt just the chef constellation who was silent; all the other constellations were astonished. All of them were using Choi Yeonseung to deal a blow to the chef constellation, but they had merely thought of it as a mouse biting a cat.
However, Choi Yeonseung wasnt a mouse; he was a ferocious cat that had just gained the upper hand in the fight.
Having recovered from the initial shock, the chef constellation was truly impressed. Not many mortals like him had emerged in the Abyss long, long history.
[All the spectating constellations compliment you.]
[The great amount of power of existence surges within you!!!]
