The Constellation Returned From Hell

Chapter 65



Chapter 65

Choi Yeonseung’s arrogance made the constellation’s minions even more furious.

[The ‘Warrior Stained with Madness and Blood’ is bestowing his power to his minions!]

[The ‘Power of Madness’?has been obtained!]

[The ‘Power of Blood’?has been obtained!]

It was only a small part of a constellation’s power, but it was too much for the minions. Sounds of bones and muscles twisting reverberated. They received so much magic power in an instant that their bodies broke to the point where they wouldn’t return to normal even after the magic power had disappeared.

“You’ll have to deal with me first,” Odaigon warned as he pulled out his staff and slammed it against the ground.

Whittaker and other people had long evacuated to the stage. The constellation’s minions didn’t care about them, so they managed to easily escape. However, it was a bit annoying that Whittaker ran away as well.

‘Well... Their auras are too fierce.’

His opponents weren’t even C-grade, yet their auras were B-grade or higher. This was the power of an evil god constellation! Only evil god constellations could extract power like this without caring about their minions’ lives. Realizing their opponents were strong, the hunters managing the auction house flinched and couldn’t just attack.

-Master. I’ll handle them.

-No. It’s fine. Save your skills.

Choi Yeonseung didn’t want to display Odaigon’s skills. There could be a constellation battle later, so it was best to keep his abilities a secret for as long as possible! Choi Yeonseung drew his sword with one hand and pointed a finger at an opponent with the other. He got a lot of experience fighting opponents stronger than him in the Abyss. The same went for weak opponents! Their combined strength could be higher than Choi Yeonseung, but they were individually weaker than him.

A powerful bullet made of internal energy shot out of Choi Yeonseung’s finger.

Origin of the Celestial Finger!

The minions hurriedly set up shields with their magic power in response, blocking his initial attack. However, Choi Yeonseung was just starting. Against a magician, he couldn’t give his opponent any leeway. He pushed forward, preventing his enemy from using magic!

Choi Yeonseung kicked off from the ground and instantly disappeared. Magicians would find it difficult to much his current speed.

‘!!!!’

The Mount Hua Sect hunters were stunned. He was using martial arts several times above their stage! Every time martial artists bumped into each other, they were supposed to explore each other’s stages. To what extent could they grasp the other’s movements using footwork? Could they anticipate where the other person would go?

This was how they measured each other’s level. As for Choi Yeonseung...

They couldn’t follow him!

“Cough!”

Choi Yeonseung drew his sword and stabbed it like lightning. The linked movement of Origin of the Celestial Swordsmanship unfolded and the sharp sword energy pierced the opponent’s heart.

“Kuhuhu...”

However, the pierced hunter laughed grimly and his eyes turned even redder.

“I’ll take your blood!”

The power to move even with his heart pierced! It was because his body was strengthened by the magic power bestowed by the constellation. Red magic power gushed out of the hunter and wrapped around Choi Yeonseung’s arm as if it was trying to hack at him.

“Thank you.”

“?!”

Even so, Choi Yeonseung just said thanks without hesitation, frightening the minion. All of the minion’s magic power suddenly started to drain away. It was caused by the Star Absorption Method, the power that Choi Yeonseung had obtained from the nightmare demons!

It was an evil skill that let the user instantly absorb their opponent’s magic power and internal energy upon touch. It was extremely difficult to control someone else’s magic power or internal energy that wasn’t their own, especially if it was bestowed by an evil god constellation.

However, Choi Yeonseung was a martial artist who had already?gone beyond?the transcendent-class stage. He could control the wild magic power given by other constellations. Choi Yeonseung extended his other hand. Using the magic power the Warrior Stained with Madness and Blood had given and he had just absorbed, he created and fired bullets.

The skill he had just used was still the Origin of the Celestial Finger, but its power was several times stronger than before.

Red bullets tore through the shields and pierced the minions.

Choi Yeonseung then split apart one of his opponents with his sword.

[The Sword of Goujian’s power has restored your internal energy!]

.

The Sword of Goujian restored internal energy every time its user killed an opponent! With its effect and the Star Absorption Method, he no longer had to worry about his internal energy. At the peak-class stage, internal energy wasn’t infinite. Hence, Choi Yeonseung used it sparingly so as to not waste it. However, was such a measure still necessary now that he had such an abundance of it?

“Stop him!” One of the minions shouted, but Choi Yeonseung had already cut off the incoming magic with his sword energy and jumped in.

Piercing their hearts likely wouldn’t be enough to kill them, but smashing their bodies would certainly do the trick! Choi Yeonseung immediately fired sword energy to keep any minions who wanted to use higher-circle magic in check, smashing them one by one.

Now desperate, the minions gave up casting magic. They wrapped themselves with magic power and engaged in close-quarters combat. That wouldn’t work against Choi Yeonseung, though. Choi Yeonseung drew out their magic power with Star Absorption Method and unleashed even stronger sword energy.

[The ‘Warrior Stained with Madness and Blood’ is enraged!]

[The ‘Warrior Stained with Madness and Blood’ is reprimanding his minions!]

[The other constellations are watching this with interest!]

Earth’s constellations had never heard of the Undefeated Incarnation of Training before, much less see him in a constellation battle! However, one of his household members suddenly appeared and fought the Warrior Stained with Madness and Blood’s minions!

Warrior Stained with Madness and Blood wasn’t weak. He didn’t conquer Earth like the other evil god constellations, but he was a powerful constellation whose name was listed in the rankings of constellations. He had immense power of existence and was already a highest-grade constellation even before coming to Earth.

On the other hand, the Undefeated Incarnation of Training was an intermediate constellation. Even so, his household member wasn’t pushed back. On the contrary, he overwhelmed his opponents. By now, the Warrior Stained with Madness and Blood were likely red with shame. He couldn’t even defeat a B-grade hunter!

[The ‘Fighter of Sweat and Flesh’ praises your struggle!]

[The ’Fighter of Sweat and Flesh’ is sending you a soul stone!]

[The ‘Fighter of Sweat and Flesh’ is interested in the ‘Undefeated Incarnation of Training.’]

[The ‘Master of Countless People’ commends you for your struggle!]

[The ’Master of Countless People’ is sending you a soul stone!]

[......]

[You have lived a life worthy of your?constellation name. The power of your existence has risen!]

[The ‘Warrior Stained with Madness and Blood’ has repossessed his powers!]

[The ‘Warrior Stained with Madness and Blood’ is concentrating his powers into one!]

[The ‘Warrior Stained with Madness and Blood’ has descended and is directly controlling his minions!]

[The ‘Warrior Stained with Madness and Blood’ is gathering the scattered blood to amplify his power!]

"Kuaaaaack!”

All the minions fell as their strength gathered together. Realizing things shouldn’t continue like this, the Warrior Stained with Madness and Blood gave everything to one person and controlled them himself!

‘Isn’t that a bit disgraceful?’

Well, it wasn’t something that Choi Yeonseung could say, considering he was a constellation pretending to be his household member.

A chill soon shot down Choi Yeonseung’s spine. After sucking up all of his nearby minions’ vitality, he channeled it all together and amplified it! In terms of short-term firepower alone, it could surpass even that of an A-grade hunter. The best way to deal with it was to avoid it. This technique wouldn’t last long! If he waited a few seconds, his opponent would collapse on its own, but...

‘all the people here will die.’

[The ‘Suppress the Strong and Support the Weak’ skill has been activated. Facing the minion of the ‘Warrior Stained with Madness and Blood’ instead of avoiding it will increase your power of existence!]

‘Tsk.’

The type of constellation that he was made this inevitable.

‘Absorbing all of it will be a burden… I should just send it back.’

The minion didn’t use magic. Rather, it attacked in the simplest and most primitive way: gathering magic power in a single point and firing it all out! A red spear flew toward Choi Yeonseung with fierce momentum.

[The skill 'Covert Attack Reversal' has been activated. You've perfectly returned the opponent's attack!]

Choi Yeonseung aimed his sword at the tip of the flying red spear. At first glance, it seemed ridiculous and reckless. The Mount Hua Sect hunters couldn’t help clenching their fists. Before they knew it, their hands had become sweaty.

‘Please!’

They earnestly prayed that Choi Yeonseung wouldn’t die even though they didn’t know him. It had been so long since they had last seen a martial arts master. If he died, it would be as heartbreaking as their own master dying.

“......!”

At that moment, they bore witness to it. The red spear flew as if it was about to tear space itself apart, only for Choi Yeonseung to catch it with his hand in mid-air. He then flung it back to the opponent!

[The ‘Warrior Stained with Madness and Blood’ has taken a hit!]

The red spear pierced the minion, and its magic power disappeared completely. The constellation was hit as well since he was directly controlling the minion. He had been defeated in a battle against a mortal! For constellations, that was a huge disgrace.

All of his minions were gone, there was nothing else the Warrior Stained with Madness and Blood could do.

[The ‘Warrior Stained with Madness and Blood’ acknowledges your skills.]

The evil god constellation spoke, but no constellations listened to him. This acknowledgment was just to protect his pride!

The next words would soon come.

[The ‘Warrior Stained with Madness and Blood’ challenges the ‘Undefeated Incarnation of Training’ to a constellation battle!]

[The ‘Warrior Stained with Madness and Blood’ points out that Choi Yeonseung should be the one to participate in it. If he doesn’t appear, the constellation battle is canceled.]

As expected! The Warrior Stained with Madness and Blood’s ulterior motive was clear. He was going to get rid of today’s humiliation in the constellation battle! The Warrior Stained with Madness and Blood would certainly send his real household members, not such poor minions. Besides, the Warrior Stained with Madness and Blood’s pride had been scarred. He definitely wouldn’t want a normal constellation battle. He would want a bloody constellation battle where the lives of their household members were put on the line.

[The ‘Cat of Lava and Magma’ says everything’s going as planned.]

[The ‘Manipulator of Dreams and Desires’ worries that this is too rushed.]

Unlike the cat constellation, the manipulator constellation was worried. She wanted a more relaxed pacing where Choi Yeonseung would simply gain people’s trust and raise his status as a constellation before engaging in combat. At the very least, it should be after he became an advanced constellation.

-It’s fine. I just have to win.

[The ‘Cat of Lava and Magma’ says you can pay it back.]

However, the two constellations were confident. The Manipulator of Dreams and Desires shook her head.

[The ‘Manipulator of Dreams and Desires’ sighs.]

***

The constellation battle was an entirely different matter. Right now, he had to deal with the aftermath of the mess he made in front of so many people. Fortunately, Choi Yeonseung had status! No one in the city would be rude to a hunter belonging to Dragon Industry. Moreover, there were no casualties apart from the constellation’s minions.

“I’m sorry! We didn’t handle things properly, which allowed outsiders to come in...”

The hunters of the auction house stepped forward and presented themselves so lowly their heads were almost touching the ground. This difficult situation was completely unexpected. If things had become bigger and Dragon Industry intervened...

“No. It’s fine.”

Choi Yeonseung didn’t care much. They couldn’t have stopped the constellation’s minions in the first place.

“If you’ve got nothing else to say, can I go now?”

“Ah. About that...”

“?”

“If you don’t mind, could you spare me a moment?”
