The Constellation Returned From Hell

Chapter 258

Choi Yeonseung looked over in a bewildered manner.

The One Who Understands and Penetrates Through Indeterminate Forms. It was a case where a monster wandering around outside the Abyss had gained an enormous amount of power and had become a constellation.

However, those constellations usually didn’t last long.

In many cases, they couldn’t objectively evaluate their own strength. They often went on a rampage due to a sense of achievement from having just become a constellation, only to be defeated by a much stronger constellation.

Choi Yeonseung was quite a rare case, as he was a constellation of human origin who had lived cautiously. Furthermore, he hadn’t even known that he had become a constellation.

Normally, newborn constellations went on a rampage according to instinct.

The One Who Understands and Penetrates Through Indeterminate Forms was also like this. It had emerged and spread terror everywhere the moment it had discovered Earth!

By doing so, it incurred the wrath of the constellation who had first come to Earth. This newborn constellation attracted aggro to the point where other constellations put a bounty on it. This should’ve been the end of this constellation.

However, it persisted. With Choi Yeonseung’s help, he now had the means to take revenge on the collector constellation for inciting his impulse.

Then right now—

The constellation of understanding revealed itself.

Crown Collector! Come out! Come out and face me!!

The monster, which looked like a giant slime, screamed as it came out of the lake.

‘Was it a slime?’

The constellation of understanding possessed the power of existence, but it was merely at the level of a low-grade constellation. It was even weaker than Choi Yeonseung’s.

In the eyes of higher ranking constellations, such as the collector constellation, the constellation of understanding was less than an insignificant opponent...

However, it was poor timing for the collector constellation, as he was facing the angel constellation, and he was also involved in a constellation battle. This made it hard for him to properly fight the new enemy that had just emerged, even if it was no more than a fledgling.

You are afraid, you coward! Uhahahahaha!

‘Isn’t it quite amazing?’

Choi Yeonseung was genuinely impressed, for he realized what the constellation of understanding had planned. He had been wondering who supported the Knights of the Holy Temple, and now it became clear that it was the constellation of understanding. By controlling and comforting those crazy people, the constellation of understanding had succeeded in creating a path for itself to come out directly.

Choi Yeonseung had wondered why the Knights of the Holy Temple were causing trouble here with only a handful of people...

-No matter what, this is too much damage.

The goddess of sloth clicked her tongue as she witnessed the rampage of the young constellation. Of course, it was doing this because it had nothing to lose, but it was highly disadvantageous for a constellation to make a direct appearance like this.

The only thing left after using up such a huge amount of the power of existence would be the pleasure gained from exacting its revenge. No other constellation would’ve done something like this.

‘It must be very angry.’

The constellation of understanding had been deceived by the collector constellation, and now it was properly avenging itself.

The collector constellation, who couldn’t be here because of the constellation battle, was now on the verge of losing his mind due to anger.

-Stop, constellation! I won’t allow any further disturbances.

Garhansha spoke in a cold tone.

The huge slime, which was about to blow up its surroundings, slowly turned its body at the vampire’s words.

Are you talking to me now?

-Yes. My master has ordered me to defend this city. It’s hard to believe that a constellation has secretly plotted this and emerged in a place full of citizens. Don’t you know shame?

No, I don’t…?

-What...?

Garhansha was appalled by the opponent’s lack of decency. It normally would’ve been advantageous to have such a conversation with a brazen opponent. To Garhansha, who had been a vampire noble for a long time, the constellation that had awakened after living as a slime for most of its life just seemed like a violent and powerful beast.

Your incessant talking is just like the buzzing of a weak mosquito! If you want?to stop me, then go ahead and try. You’re just running your mouth... Are you scared? Are you a coward?

-Fine. Let’s fight!

Garhansha furiously drew his weapon.

[Garhansha has used ‘Protection of True Blood’.]

The red energy floating around Garhansha enveloped and turned him into red mist. The mist then instantly expanded and engulfed the constellation of understanding.

Garhansha was attempting to suck the blood of the constellation!

You dare!

The constellation of understanding inflated its body in anger. The fact that a monster became a constellation meant that its power was extremely strong. The colorless and transparent slime quickly hardened, then it exploded like a hedgehog, bombarding the vampire with spikes!

However, Garhansha was a cool-headed and skilled fighter. He managed to detach his body from the constellation and get out of range just before the spikes would’ve hit him. Afterwards, he proceeded to launch more attacks.

Garhansha was like an experienced bullfighter playing with a mad bull.

‘Both his vampiric power and magic have reached the peak.’

Choi Yeonseung was genuinely impressed by Garhansha’s power, which was clearly worthy of his title.

In addition, Garhansha didn’t fight using the constellation power received from the Crown Collector. Rather, he fought with his own original vampire powers. Moreover, Garhansha made the most out of those powers by also using transformation magic and illusion magic.

The constellation of understanding was able to use its power of existence to stop Garhansha’s magic, but as Choi Yeonseung knew...

‘The power of existence is a surprisingly tricky force.’

It was a flexible power that could accomplish anything the user wished, but it was tricky to handle. This force was strongly influenced by the personality and essence of the constellation who used it. It was of no use if they couldn’t handle it well.

“Shall we move?” Choi Yeonseung suggested to Adaquaniel.

Even though the fight between those two was grand and intense, it was nonetheless an opportunity for Choi Yeonseung and Adaquaniel. Once Garhansha was distracted, Choi Yeonseung would move and return with the holy relic...

“It’s a good idea.”

“Then let’s go!”

-Where are you going? Stop him!

Garhansha wasn’t there to stop Choi Yeonseung, but the vampire nobles who followed Garhansha were also formidable. They used another trump card they had prepared.

[The army of shadows rises!]

Dark, inky shadows materialized on the ground, and then slaves rose from them one by one. They weren’t Abyssal races or monsters. They were British hunters! Those who had fallen during the occupation of the United Kingdom and those who had been executed afterwards had been enslaved.

Seeing their miserable appearance, Choi Yeonseung trembled with anger and shame, but he was also confused.

“??”

With a puzzled look on his face, Choi Yeonseung asked, “...Do you think I can’t hit you just because you put British people in front of me?”

-Don’t bluff, human! These are your people. You wouldn’t dare to...

Bam!

With a powerful strike, Choi Yeonseung blew off the head of the British hunter in front of him.

A dazzlingly white concentrated energy surged from his palm. This concentrated energy was on a different level from the sword energy condensed from internal energy. This was pure internal energy that tore through and damaged all magic!

Even the hunters protected by the shadows of the collector constellation couldn’t withstand the concentrated energy. It was even worse for them if they were caught by surprise and couldn’t react to the attack.

-...W-What a shameless, wicked bastard! How can you kill your own people so easily?!

One of the vampire nobles exclaimed in an astonished manner. Choi Yeonseung killing members of the same clan without hesitation was truly a display of cruelty.

“You’re not even using people that look the same as me!”

Choi Yeonseung was furious at the vampire’s reaction. These lunatics tried to trick him like this without being able to distinguish between British and Korean people. Tricking their opponent was a good strategy, but they should’ve thought it through. They dared to say such things and underestimate Earth!

Bam!

A whip of concentrated energy came out of Choi Yeonseung’s fingertips and swept around him.

The vampires, who had used defensive magic because they had thought it was just ordinary sword energy, were horrified. Their defensive magic vanished like melting snow every time the white concentrated energy made contact with it.

Its penetration power was off the charts.

-Back off, Asian man! How dare you do this in this sacred land... Cough!

One of the British hunters, who had been overtaken by the shadows, was stunned as his body was cut into two pieces.

The British hunters yelled a variety of harsh curses. However, the more they did so, the more aggressive Choi Yeonseung became. Choi Yeonseung didn’t hesitate to kill them.

-Use the power Shadow Crown that you stole last time.

“Ah. That...”

While fighting, Choi Yeonseung heard the words of the goddess of sloth and recalled it.

After more than ten thousand years of fighting with just martial arts, Choi Yeonseung still hadn’t been able to use newly acquired skills well.

-Shadow Crown!

[Corrupts the opponent with the power of shadows. The corrupted opponents will become your puppets.]

Choi Yeonseung knew how to use the power of existence, which meant that the constellation powers used by him were on a different level from those used by household members.

A shadow instantly enveloped the hunters, completely engulfing them. There was a sense of collision between two minds, as the will of the collector constellation first tried to interfere with Choi Yeonseung’s will…

However, Choi Yeonseung was a constellation. The will implanted by the collector constellation in the hunters couldn’t stop him. In an instant, the shadow army crossed over to Choi Yeonseung’s side.

-W-What’s going on??

-We... How?

“Who was the guy who cursed at me earlier for being Asian?”

-I-It wasn’t our will, it was the evil constellation...

“I don’t think the constellation taught you how to swear. Your inner thoughts popped out, didn’t they? You must’ve been thinking that on your own, right?”

-That’s not what’s important right now! London is in danger!

‘They’re good at changing the topic.’

Despite Choi Yeonseung’s anger, the hunters were right. The enraged slime was growing bigger and bigger and threatening to blow up the city.

“I have to get a holy relic first. Do you know where I can find one?”

-Holy relic? If you’re talking about that stuff that the evil constellation is hiding, it’s not this way. It’s in the tomb of Westminster Abbey.

Westminster Abbey. It was one of the most famous cathedrals of England and had been the burial place of many royals and heroes. Since the collector constellation liked things with historical value, it was almost compulsory for him to choose this place for hiding the holy relic.

...Of course, Choi Yeonseung wasn’t particularly interested in it.

“The collector constellation played a petty trick. Why would he put them there? No matter. The explanation is over. Tell me where it is.”

-Don’t you know Westminster Abbey? No matter how much of a hillbilly you are...

Bam!

“The next guy.”

-...Over there! I’ll guide you!

***

As the disturbance grew, the Londoners got restless and went outside. No matter how strict the orders of a constellation were, it was impossible not to come outside when there was a fight that threatened to collapse the sky.

“Is... Is that a constellation?”

“Will we be released if the constellation wins?”

People whispered among themselves with confused expressions. They knew they were under the control of the collector constellation, but they also didn’t know who the new slime monster was.

Bang!

Suddenly, Garhansha flew backwards and coughed up blood from the impact. He then cried out.

-Constellation, what are you doing? Are you going to kill the mortals here?!

Garhansha fought against the constellation in a way that wouldn’t damage their surroundings. After all, each of these souls belonged to his master. However, there was no reason for the constellation of understanding to care about such things. It spoke to Garhansha in a mocking tone.

What do you know?

-Really...!

Garhansha was outraged by how undignified this constellation was. The collector constellation was arrogant and childish, but not to the extent of this slime constellation. Garhansha was going to stop the monster even if it cost his life!

“Hey. Let’s fight together.”

Garhansha was surprised to hear this proposal coming from Choi Yeonseung.

-You actually mean that?

“If we don’t join forces, everyone here will die.”

Garhansha was deeply moved by Choi Yeonseung’s words. To think that the enemy fighting in the constellation battle would participate in the fight for this honor.

‘This is truly amazing!’

Of course, Garhansha didn’t think that Choi Yeonseung had already come out with the holy relic.

-Good! Let’s fight together, honorable human!
