[The forces of the constellation are summoned!]
‘As expected, they’re coming here too.’
Unlike the other hunters, Choi Yeonseung wasn’t surprised. He had already made several predictions regarding this invasion, so his mindset was different.
-Goddess, can we make one more prediction together?
-Goddess, just in case, let’s make one more prediction together.
-Goddess, the construction has been completed, but just in case...
[The ‘Goddess of Balance Who Walks Ahead’ says with a weary expression that she is glad her prediction turned out to be correct.]
Naturally, the goddess of balance couldn’t refuse Choi Yeonseung’s requests, so she had been making predictions around the clock. However, her eyes had inevitably become bleary from the continuous effort.
-Master, are you okay?
-Please stop looking into the future and take a break...
She had worked so much that her angels were worried. However, the goddess of balance couldn’t take her eyes off Earth.
The forces of the other evil god constellations were rushing fiercely at Choi Yeonseung.
‘Sh-shouldn’t there be other A-grade hunters?’
The pressure of the forces that had emerged from the crack in the mountain was enormous. Unlike Choi Yeonseung, who had become desensitized after killing so many foes in the Abyss, most hunters had never actually faced so many monsters at once.
During dungeon raids, hunters usually grouped to fight one monster, and even in normal monster raids, they avoided fighting when they were outnumbered.
As such, the sight of countless Abyssal creatures swarming down the mountain was enough to make the hunters nervous.
“When can I start?”
“Attack... Can we attack?”
[The ‘Six-Winged Angel Who Hunts Dragons’ grants Illaphael power.]
[The ‘Observer Who Returned From a Cold Place’ grants Illeya power.]
However, Choi Yeonseung was already prepared. After all, the other constellations had been on standby there the whole time.
***
[The ‘Six-Winged Angel Who Hunts Dragons’ is confused by the shocking story.]
It was generally difficult to persuade people, but it was twice as hard to persuade constellations. However, it was easier for Choi Yeonseung to reason with the constellations thanks to his connections.
-Are you saying you don’t believe what I’m saying? Do you only see me like this? I always believed in your righteous heart, so I did my best to help you when your household member was in trouble!
[The ‘Six-Winged Angel Who Hunts Dragons’ apologizes in a panic and urges to not get angry.]
The angel constellation sincerely apologized to Choi Yeonseung when he got angry. Considering the personality of the angel constellation and how much he owed Choi Yeonseung, his reaction was natural.
There were few good god constellations that actively took action like the Undefeated Incarnation of Training.
For the angel constellation, who was a hardliner among hardliners, the Undefeated Incarnation of Training was an irreplaceable companion.
-Forget it. I’m going to fight alone. Turns out I can’t trust anybody among the good god constellations!
[The ‘Six-Winged Angel Who Hunts Dragons says it isn’t like that. He insists that he is flustered precisely because he believes you.]
-Isn’t that a bit too much?
The goddess of sloth was worried and wondered if Choi Yeonseung was overdoing it, but his persuasion worked in the end.
Regardless of whether he believed Choi Yeonseung or not, the angel constellation promised to fully cooperate.
[The ‘Six-Winged Angel Who Hunts Dragons’ says he will send his household member, Illaphael, to fight alongside you.]
-You’re only sending Illaphael and leaving behind all your other household members?! You really don’t believe me!
[The ‘Six-Winged Angel Who Hunts Dragons’ explains it isn’t like that. He says he has so many places to protect that he can’t move all his household members.]
-I don’t believe it! You’re only sending Illaphael!
[The ‘Six-Winged Angel Who Hunts Dragons’ sheds genuine tears... It really isn’t like that.]
[The ‘Six-Winged Angel Who Hunts Dragons’ pleads with you to believe him.]
-...
-...So what if you cry?
[...]
...There was some trial and error that almost caused Choi Yeonseung to feel bad during the negotiations, but in any case, the angel constellation had promised to help.
Even if the other constellations didn’t believe him, they still cared about this invasion. None of them were stupid enough to not fight back when the evil god constellations were aiming for their heads.
[The ‘Observer Who Returned From a Cold Place’ says she will send her household member, Illeya, to fight together.]
-Thank you, observer constellation. As expected, I knew you would trust me.
[The ‘Observer Who Returned From a Cold Place’ says she believes that the ‘Undefeated Incarnation of Training’ wouldn’t do pointless things that aren’t profitable.]
‘...’
Choi Yeonseung felt bitter.
‘Did she think of me that way before?’
-In the eyes of other constellations, it is possible...
The goddess of sloth nodded.
Choi Yeonseung had appeared out of the blue on Earth as a constellation and quickly gained enough power to enter the rankings. It wasn’t something that just any being could do.
Of course, on the surface, Choi Yeonseung had climbed the ranks with confidence and dignity, but it would’ve been strange if no constellations were dubious about him.
[The ‘Observer Who Returned From a Cold Place’ says that the Noble Crown Collector, the Warrior Stained with Madness and Blood, the Demon of Contract and Order, and Endless Linked Explosions couldn’t win in front of the Undefeated Incarnation of Training.]
[She says she believes you.]
-...But I wasn’t the one to defeat some of those constellations, and most of them are alive and well?
[The ‘Observer Who Returned From a Cold Place’ says that in any case, she is looking forward to this fight.
-No... Wait. Look, there seems to be a misunderstanding.
-Hey, are you trying to make her not trust you?!
***
Ajakka, a household member of the Beast of Swords and Spears, was a goat beast warrior and one of the Beast of Swords and Spears’ favorite subordinates.
There were many militant beastly races in the realm of the beast constellation, and in order to get in the good graces of their master, they had to break the horns and necks of many competitors.
As such, it was natural for Ajakka to be proud of his abilities.
-My beast brothers, there’s a village of weak humans! Go and destroy it. Burn it down and loot everything! Humans can’t stop us!
The beast warriors who appeared behind Ajakka responded with enthusiastic shouts.
Just like most constellations didn’t know much about Earth even after observing it for a long time, Ajakka wasn’t knowledgeable about this realm because he had always been in the Abyss. His only impression of humans was that they were a weak race who didn’t know much about magic.
Most of them were powerless and only a few could use magic, so he had no reason to believe that humans were real adversaries.
However, there was something that Ajakka was unaware of.
There was a warrior in front of him who had fought far more battles in the Abyss than him.
[The ‘Beast of Swords and Spears’ warns you!]
-!
The beast constellation’s help was the only reason Ajakka didn’t lose his head as soon as the fight started.
Slash!
Ajakka felt a burning pain in his torso as blood was gushing from it.
Choi Yeonseung clicked his tongue.
‘I could’ve finished him in one go. There was some kind of interference.’
-No...!
Ajakka was astonished. The Sacred Golden Leather skill was supposed to protect him, so he couldn’t explain how an attack had managed to take him completely by surprise and penetrate his chest.
He saw a crystal of white magic power in the hands of the human in front of him.
That attack must’ve penetrated his defenses.
[Ajakka, the household member of the ‘Beast of Swords and Spears’, channels his power through anger and humiliation!]
[The ‘Beast of Swords and Spears’ gives power to its subordinates!]
-How dare you?!
Ajakka nearly doubled in size, and he was enveloped by unstable magic power. The sword and spear he was holding exuded an eerie energy due to the power of existence infused into them.
Bam!
Ajakka unleashed an attack that completely destroyed the surrounding terrain.
The hunters waiting in the rear were shocked after measuring the absurd magic output of the enemy. Looking at its measurement, it was higher than A-grade.
It had to be an S-grade monster!
They hadn’t thought they would have to face an S-grade monster here!
-Emergency! Emergency!! An S-grade monster appeared!
-Hunter Choi Yeonseung is facing him alone! Please back him up!
Of course, no matter how much the hunters screamed, no one was brave enough to jump into action and help Choi Yeonseung. As for the A-grade hunters, they were all busy defending their designated areas from monsters.
Even though everyone around him was terrified, Choi Yeonseung remained calm. So far, everything was happening according to his predictions.
Slash!
Once again, the white concentrated energy radiated and slashed Ajakka like a whip.
[’Sacred Golden Leather’ has blocked the attack!]
-Agh! You pesky human!
‘The level of this beast guy is close to five hundred. He moves in a simple manner and relies solely on strength. I can kill him, but his power is tricky’
Hunters that were treated as S-grade were generally over level four hundred. Thus, the ones that were close to level five hundred would be considered rare powerhouses in the Abyss.
However, Choi Yeonseung had fought and cut down enough powerhouses to the point of getting sick of it. By doing that, he had transcended the limit of levels and ascended to the status of a constellation.
But no matter what kind of opponent Choi Yeonseung faced, taking them down would be significantly harder if they borrowed power from a constellation.
-Stay away! I got this!
Ajakka shouted at the beast warriors behind him who tried to attack. If he needed help to subdue a mere human warrior, he would forever be a disgrace to his race. Nevertheless, he still couldn’t figure out what kind of opponent he was dealing with.
Choi Yeonseung suddenly vanished and jumped off Ajakka, using him as a stepping stone to dig into the beast warriors behind him. The beast constellation didn’t protect these warriors like Ajakka, so they were doomed.
With a flash of light, they fell one after the other.
-This human!
Ajakka hadn’t expected his opponent to leave him alone and jump on his comrades, so he quickly rushed over. However, Choi Yeonseung had waited precisely for this moment.
Bam!
He fired a bullet of concentrated energy.
Ajakka’s vital points had been protected by his power earlier, but they were exposed as he rushed in. The bullet of concentrated energy pierced his eyes, which were among the vulnerable parts.
-Ghaaah!
‘Goodbye.’
[The ‘Beast of Swords and Spears’ sends Ajakka back to the Abyss.]
‘!’
The beast constellation forcefully took Ajakka back in the Abyss right before Choi Yeonseung managed to land the killing blow.
However, that had been a mistake.
‘It’s a waste of power of existence.’
There were many constellations involved in this battle, and if the beast constellation wasted its power of existence like that, the other constellations could jump in without any worries.
[The ‘Six-Winged Angel Who Hunts Dragons’ uses the power...]
[The ‘Observer Who Returned From a Cold Place’ activates her power!]
Illeya finally joined Choi Yeonseung. The air around her was freezing cold as though the observer constellation had exerted all of her power.
BANG!
[’Perun’s Magic Axe Technique’ is amplified to the maximum by the power of ‘Observer Who Returned From a Cold Place.’]
Waves of ice surged fiercely from everywhere, even though the surroundings were completely dry, without a single drop of water, and quickly froze the beast warriors left and right.
Even if they didn’t die right away, it was an excellent move to immobilize them.
“Well done, Illeya! Excellent!”
Illeya nodded, her white face flushed from the compliment.
Choi Yeonseung suddenly felt another presence on the battlefield and turned around to spot Illaphael.
The angel stood still in an awkward and unsteady position, as though she had been in the middle of doing something and suddenly stopped.
“What are you doing?”
“I... I was gathering my strength to use an ability.”
