“!”

“W-What?”

“What is going on?”

The hunters in the area were surprised. Since the Schreiber clan’s hunters collapsed without being able to do anything, the others became nervous. They thought the opponent was a strong A or even S-grade monster…

Yet Choi Yeonseung just casually won.

“Are those Schreiber guys completely out of their minds?”

“No, it isn’t Schreiber’s fault. Choi?Yeonseung is simply amazing,” Izidor briefly replied to his subordinate.

To their side, several quick-witted hunters from other clans were whispering among themselves in surprise. The rock knight that appeared before them was by no means weak. It motionlessly canceled a spell. That would be enough for keen hunters to grasp their opponent’s level.

The Schreiber clan’s hunters weren’t weak. The knight was just fraudulently strong! However, Choi Yeonseung casually accepted the test.

‘Does he have a special skill?’

‘Is it thanks to martial arts?’

‘In any case, this is great. I can attack it now.’

Meanwhile, Choi Yeonseung looked at the knight with a bitter expression and asked it a question. He was a bit flustered.

“Is this what the test was all about?”

-That’s right! Laziness couldn’t be easily escaped. The test determined whether you have enough willpower to overcome it.

The words were the test. Choi Yeonseung knew how ridiculous this was. Considering it even affected a constellation’s will, ordinary mortal hunters would never be able to pass it with their willpower.

‘Without me, all the hunters here could have been wiped out.’

He didn’t know which constellation made this test, but he wanted to take a look at her face. What type of test was this? Now that he had thought about it, the Goddess of Balance Who Walks Ahead created a slightly weirder test than this…

“So what happens when the test is over? Is this the end?”

-That’s right. I will let you meet my master.

The knight raised its sword to the sky. A huge amount of magic power shot out from it and penetrated the space beyond the dungeon.

[The power maintaining the ‘Sanctuary of Defeat and Sloth’ is gone.]

[The dungeon will soon disappear!]

With its purpose now finished, the knight depleted the magic power maintaining the dungeon.

-Once you get out of here, you will meet my master.

Choi Yeonseung wondered if he had actually cleared the dungeon that easily, but he soon hesitated. He felt an explosion of killing intent pouring from all sides. The storm of killing intent came from all directions instead of just one place! The only way to explain it was that all the monsters in the area were swarming toward their location.

“… I thought the test is over and the dungeon has been cleared? Why are monsters making their way to this place?”

-You noticed the monsters? You have good senses.

The knight was amazed. It was faster for Choi Yeonseung to detect killing intent than the magic power the monsters emitted. For the knight who didn’t know martial arts, it was a curious ability.

-All the monsters in this dungeon covet my master’s power, which has been hidden to prevent insignificant beings from reaching it. Now that it has been revealed, these bastards will keep attacking until they get it.

“… Didn’t you just say you would let me meet your master now that I’ve completed your test? Are these monsters also included in that test?”

The knight answered, seemingly puzzled.

-Don’t tell me you can’t clean up this much?

“… When you return to your master, tell her she should be careful.”

They could have gotten away with this If Choi Yeonseung was an ordinary mortal, but he was a constellation. Scratching his temper could start a constellation battle.

‘This is a huge problem.’

Drunk on the goddess’ power, all the monsters gathered at their location. It didn’t matter to Choi Yeonseung. After all, he could do this with his eyes closed if he just had to protect himself. The problem was that there were several hunters here.

Hunters always fought with a numbers advantage. Their rule was to kill one monster in groups! All the monsters in the dungeon flocking to their location was an emergency nobody expected.

‘Can I prevent all these people from dying?’

Choi Yeonseung took a deep breath. It would be much easier if he left them all behind.

… But he didn’t intend to. It wasn’t because the rumors would be a bit ugly if all the hunters here except Choi Yeonseung were killed or that it would be a loss if they died since they worshiped him quite intensely. Of course, those were included in Choi Yeonseung’s reasons, but he had a more fundamental one. He was a constellation, not a mortal.

‘I would no longer have a reason to become stronger if I’m just going to avoid disadvantageous situations like this anyway.’

Choi Yeonseung wanted to be strong because he wanted to control his fate. There was too much pride built up to run away and avoid things because it was difficult!

[The skill ‘Suppress the Strong and Support the Weak’ has been activated. Fighting strong existences will increase the power of your existence.]

[The skill ‘Overcome Oneself to Become Strong’ has been activated. Fighting strong existences will increase the power of your existence.]

The world could be heard cheering for Choi Yeonseung.

.

Although they realized it later than Choi Yeonseung, The hunters also realized that monsters were coming toward them from every direction. They frantically cried out and tore through the forest, making it impossible not to hear them.

“Eight monsters spotted eight hundred yards to the east and west! The drone has been destroyed!”

“I have detected a monster heat source coming from the south! It is?medium?level or higher!”

“Crazy…!”

Even the slow-witted hunters were starting to understand the situation. They turned pale as they stared at each other, not knowing what to do.

“Hasn’t the dungeon been cleared and was going to disappear soon?!”

“This is probably a special dungeon. We have to hold on until it’s gone!”

The hunters hurriedly started to prepare magic. Several defensive spells were cast, and offensive spells were loaded.

“This isn’t a monster wave. For something like this to appear in a dungeon…!”

‘■, what if I die as well?’?Jules thought to himself in embarrassment.

He wanted to attack the others, but he didn’t expect such a dire situation would unfold. If they died together…

“Everyone, gather in one place!”

Choi Yeonseung shouted, his voice filled with internal energy. Even if he didn’t say it loudly, his words resonated strongly in everyone’s ears.

“Why gather in one place? Won’t that gather the monsters’ aggro?” One of the puzzled hunters asked. When dealing with monsters, gathering more of them than a certain number wasn’t ideal since it would make them swarm in huge quantities.

“All the monsters in this dungeon are coming to us anyway. If you don’t want to die, then rally up!”

The hunters unknowingly followed Choi Yeonseung’s order even though he was from another clan. They didn’t know if it was because he had fed them, because his voice contained internal energy, or because Choi Yeonseung exuded a strange presence. Nevertheless, they gathered in one place and took a clumsy formation. The sight made Choi Yeonseung sigh in relief.

‘This is the most important part.’

Odaigon would’ve used a variety of magic even with limited magic power. However, Choi Yeonseung’s power of existence was sealed, and his strength was limited to peak class. What could he do with restricted martial arts?

‘I can only think of one answer.’

He had to pull all the aggro! Choi Yeonseung started running like crazy, causing him to seemingly disappear. He only seemed to be running in a straight line, but there was something strange and profound lurking in it. His movements made it hard to aim for him even if others tried.

-■■■■?!

Upon spotting Choi Yeonseung, the monsters that were gathering up tried to attack him. However, they soon flinched back. They couldn’t hit him. Choi Yeonseung snapped his fingers and used the Origin of the Celestial Finger, causing bullet-like energies to fly out. The bullets pierced the monsters’ skin and shells, mortally wounding them.

-■■■■■!

The two-headed chaos dogs howled. Although his destructive power was lacking because he had to restrict his martial arts, Choi Yeonseung was up against monsters he had fought so many times in the Abyss that he had grown sick of them. Even if his destructive power was weak, he just had to aim for their vital points…

‘Whoops. Now isn’t the time to take a breather.’

Abandoning his obsession with killing every monster, Choi Yeonseung quickly proceeded with his plan. From north to east, east to south, south to west…

Every time he moved, five to six monsters joined the group chasing after him, causing it to gradually grow so much that the monsters were beginning to fight each other! The hunters watching him were so shocked their jaws dropped.

‘W-what is this?’

‘I’ve never seen a raid like this in my life!’

“What are you doing, you bastards?! Help!” The Schreiber clan’s Lane cursed and shouted.

Choi Yeonseung was dragging the aggro while risking his life to help the hunters here, but these people were just standing with their mouths open like idiots. It was ridiculous!

“T-That’s right.”

“Rain down magic upon them! They’re clumped up, so use wide-area ones!”

The hunters gathered magic power and cast various spells. Flames raged and lightning stormed. The ground turned upside down as pure magic power split the monsters’ skins and bones.

“Choi Yeonseung! Be careful! It is a?deiakaus!

Deiakaus. It was a huge B+-grade monster that had strong vitality and seemed to be a mixture of various monsters. The different attacks it used made it a tricky opponent. Now, that monster had appeared and was standing in Choi Yeonseung’s way.

Thump!

The?deiakaus?swung and slammed its fist-like arm down on where Choi Yeonseung had been standing, causing the ground to explode. The air sounded as if it was being torn.

-?!

However, Choi Yeonseung was already behind the?deiakaus. Monsters who ignorantly fought with power alone could never win against Choi Yeonseung. Choi Yeonseung’s Sword of Goujian flashed with light as it released pure white sword energy. Soon after, the heads of two monsters in the vicinity were cut off.

[The Sword of Goujian has absorbed magic power!]

As the item restored Choi Yeonseung’s internal energy, he amplified his sword energy with internal energy.

-■?! !

As a result, the blow accurately severed the tendons of the deiakaus’ legs. In this situation where all the monsters were chasing Choi Yeonseung, the hunters couldn’t stop their jaws from falling again. He broke through the monsters, cut off two enemies’ heads, and sliced the back of the deiakaus’ legs.

Did he have no fear? No matter how good a magician was in close-quarters combat, they couldn’t have done such a thing. Their magic shield being broken or hit in the wrong place would have gotten them trapped and killed. On the other hand, Choi Yeonseung jumped among the monsters and performed such stunts! Choi Yeonseung continued to taunt the?deiakaus?and drag other monsters to him. His expression hadn’t changed.

The hunters gritted their teeth and poured out magic. Everything about this raid was far from ordinary.

Who would have known they would join forces with bastards from other clans to fight monsters? However, they now felt passionate. They had to help Choi Yeonseung!

“You aren’t using magic properly, you bastard!”

“Do your job properly! If you don’t have the confidence to use attack magic, then cast buffs instead!”

“Ah! You trash! Look ahead! If you have time to chat, focus on your magic!”

The hunters swore at each other despite the urgent situation. Hence, Choi Yeonseung couldn’t help but think, ‘I’m not overestimating them, am I… ’
