The Constellation Returned From Hell Chapter 119

Chapter 119

“Huh?”

Choi Yeonseung’s words puzzled the Mount Hua Sect. They were told to speak to him casually, so they did. However, when he displayed transcendent martial arts, they unknowingly started using respectful words when talking to him. That wasn’t important right now, though.

‘We came here to defeat the Expert of Twisted Hallucinations’ minions?’

Choi Yeonseung spoke so confidently that even the Mount Hua Sect hunters thought, ‘Is that really why we’re here?’ for a while.

“If you knew the Expert of Twisted Hallucinations was raiding this place, you should’ve told us earlier!”

“There’s likely a spy within your ranks. Wouldn’t it be a mistake to tell you?” Choi Yeonseung replied coldly.

The hunters paused. He had a point. The assault of the evil god constellation’s minion turned the surrounding area chaotic and noisy. Taking advantage of the atmosphere, Choi Yeonseung kept pushing.

“What’s the current situation? What did you do?that?warranted summoning a creature like that here?”

“We don’t know! We were doing great defending against their advances until they performed a strange summoning ceremony!”

The?Pable?hunters had really great defense. Running impatient, the Expert of Twisted Hallucination’s minions prayed to the constellation and summoned a household member.

[The ‘Cat of Lava and Magma’ says if the household member was summoned, then it won’t last long.]

‘I guess so.’

The power of a constellation was transcendent, but it wasn’t omnipotent. The Expert of Twisted Hallucinations used his power of existence to summon his household member to this location, but it wouldn’t last long. After a certain period of time, the household member would return to his territory!

‘The question is how long it will take…’

Choi Yeonseung had no intention of risking his life to fight that octahedron. Even though it was the one who attacked first, Choi Yeonseung had fought too many times to hold a grudge over that. This was just one enemy.

‘If it isn’t very long, why don’t I just stall for time?’

However, the octahedron had a different plan. Just as it did before, it attacked Choi Yeonseung.

-Why is this bastard doing this?

Choi Yeonseung was dumbfounded. He had never cursed at the Expert of Twisted Hallucinations, so why bother?

[The ‘Cat of Lava and Magma’ says it probably feels threatened by your name!]

‘!’

The cat constellation was right. Choi Yeonseung?had?received a lot of attention recently. Even though they didn’t have any grudges against each other, constellations’ household members would feel threatened by Choi Yeonseung.

“So… Shall we fight?”

[The ‘Shining Hallucinatory Octahedron’ declares that it wants to see Choi Yeonseung’s skills.]

[If your abilities are worthy, it will speak to its constellation and guarantee you a place in the household.]

“… You have a knack for making the person you are scouting feel bad.” Leaving Ronald to the two hunters with him, Choi Yeonseung rushed in alone and launched an attack.

He!

However, instead of dealing with Choi Yeonseung, the octahedron fired purple beams at the other hunters, which caused them to shake their heads.

-Goddess! Goddess!

-Ah, seriously!

-Tell me what skill that is!

-Th-that’s…?probably… the power to cause temporary betrayal, I think!

The Expert of Twisted Hallucinations was a master of illusion and hallucinatory magic. Hence, his household member was able to use similar powers. The eyes of several Pable hunters turned purple and started to point their artifacts toward their allies.

“Stop them! Send a signal to all Mount Hua Sect members to enter!”

“Roger that!”

He was already busy dealing with one octahedron, yet he now had to protect Ronald and the other hunters at the same time. His blood was boiling, and his mind was on fire.

[The skill ‘Suppress the Strong and Support the Weak’ has been activated. Protecting the hunters present against the ‘Shining Hallucinatory Octahedron’ will increase the power of your existence!]

[The skill ‘Overcome Oneself to Become Strong’ has been activated. Defeating the ‘Shining Hallucinatory Octahedron’ will increase the power of your existence!]

“Hey! Have you gone insane? Stop!” a flustered hunter shouted at his companion whom he used to fight side-by-side with but was now swinging a spear and shooting magic at him.

Lightning formed at the tip of the spear aimed at him. As it was about to be fired, the hunter closed his eyes tightly.

“Get out of the way.”

Choi Yeonseung executed the Origin of the Celestial Finger, knocking out the hypnotized hunter. Martial arts shone brighter when used against people than against monsters. Monsters had all types of complex and diverse body structures, but humans didn’t. They all had similar weaknesses and pressure points. Stabbed in the same place in the same manner, they would show the same reaction.

What Choi Yeonseung was using now was Pressure Point Attack, a martial arts technique. He could create all types of effects by stabbing his target’s pressure points with internal energy, including knocking them out or rendering them unable to speak. To top it all off, he could do it with a very little amount of internal energy since he had mastered control over it, giving him an even greater advantage.

‘He’s seriously amazing!’

Watching Choi Yeonseung move around and knock out the hypnotized hunters amazed the Mount Hua Sect hunters. They also knew what Pressure Point Attack was. However, they couldn’t use it as fast or as easily as Choi Yeonseung could. Just doing it once required the utmost focus from them, yet Choi Yeonseung used it from a distance while moving quickly.

It was hard to believe. How much training did one have to do to reach that level?

.

Bam, bam, bam—

“!!!”

The Pable hunters were just as flustered as the Mount Hua Sect hunters. This third party said they came to help, but they were overwhelming the Pable hunters too easily. They wanted to yell about what this person was doing, but they had noticed it as well. Their colleagues had been hypnotized and were about to attack them.

“S-Stop! Stop! Aren’t you knocking out even those who aren’t hypnotized?!”

“I subdued only those who are. Don’t spout nonsense.”

Choi Yeonseung’s voice contained a strong power that disallowed anyone from refuting him. Even though he didn’t use his power of existence, he had a majesty that only a warrior who had passed through countless battlefields could exude. It even made Kreger involuntarily take a step back.

“Cark Kreger. Gather the scattered hunters.”

“How do you know my name… ”

“I came to deal with the Expert of Twisted Hallucinations, so what made you think I wouldn’t have investigated that? Call the hunters in the area.”

“U-Understood.”

Although Kreger was the leader of the hunters here, he unknowingly followed the orders of an outsider whom he had never even met before. It was unbelievable, but Choi Yeonseung’s eyes and aura contained a power that made him unable to reject.

***

[The ‘Shining Hallucinatory Octahedron’ admires your skills.]

[It declares that you are qualified to be a household member of the ‘Expert of Twisted Hallucinations.’]

‘… If I ever have a constellation battle with your master, I will crush you with all my might.’

[The ‘Cat of Lava and Magma’ says this isn’t the right time to fight the Expert of Twisted Hallucinations.]

Unlike the furious Choi Yeonseung, the octahedron genuinely admired his skills. He easily cleaned up this mess by himself! Putting aside his capabilities, his martial arts were very interesting. If he were a magician, several people would’ve died even if he managed to eventually suppress them. When it came to magic, it was many times more difficult to subdue people without killing them.

‘Compress the?sword energy?and fire it out at once.’

Choi Yeonseung prepared an attack that could catch the enemy off guard. The sharp spear of a martial artist, sword energy. No matter how sturdy the octahedron was, compressed sword energy would hurt him. It wasn’t at the same power level as concentrated sword energy, but this should be enough…

[The ‘Shining Hallucinatory Octahedron’ announces that it has run out of time.]

[It declares that you will meet again next time.]

[The ‘Shining Hallucinatory Octahedron’ presents Choi Yeonseung with ‘Red Hallucination,’ the power of its master.]

The octahedron disappeared after expressing itself.

‘No, that bast—’

“…… ”

“They’re down! Push forward!”

The Expert of Twisted Hallucinations’ minions rushed forward, having gained great momentum. Seeing the fallen hunters made them think they had gotten an advantage over their opponents. However, they were gravely mistaken. Geet latest 𝒏ovel ch𝒂pters on n𝒐velbj/n(.)c/𝒐m

“Cut them down. Show no mercy.”

Arriving a bit late, the other Mount Hua Sect hunters quickly set up a formation and launched an attack as the other hunters’ eyes widened. A few people shouted, having regained their senses.

“Martial arts!”

“Is that Choi Yeonseung of the Icarus clan?!”

Choi Yeonseung clicked his tongue when they guessed his identity correctly just because they saw martial arts. He had become much more famous than he thought.

[The ‘Cat of Lava and Magma’ says that’s because of what happened recently.]

‘I guess so. There won’t be many people who use martial arts, so I likely left a deeper impression.’

[The ‘Cat of Lava and Magma’ asks if it is good to be famous.]

As his name spread and became known, his power as a constellation became stronger. Wasn’t this what Choi Yeonseung wanted?

‘But it makes it easier for others to suspect me if I do something like this again.’

[The ‘Cat of Lava and Magma’ says you shouldn’t think of such a stupid thing.]

The Expert of Twisted Hallucinations’ minions weren’t that strong. Signing a contract with a constellation didn’t make a person stronger. Moreover, evil god constellations didn’t reward their minions unless they had done something.. Only one or two of them had cheap artifacts. The rest had pistols and rifles.

Tatatang!

“Keep in formation behind me.”

“Copy!”

In preparation for the fight, Choi Yeonseung taught the Mount Hua Sect hunters a simple formation that didn’t have any special effect but allowed them to work together without blocking each other’s paths.

[The ‘Undefeated Incarnation of Training’ has trained and led mortals. He has obtained a new skill.]

[The skill ‘Six Channels Sword Display’ has been discovered.]

“!”

Materializing the infinite power within oneself was the constellations’ power. His new power was similar to ‘Future Sight,’ which the Goddess of Balance Who Walks Ahead had given him.

[Six Channels Sword Display]

[Rank: A-

Creates a method to gather the power of mortals in the name of the Undefeated Incarnation of Training.]

‘Ha. So that is its effect.’

Choi Yeonseung was stunned. He discovered a new power when teaching others rather than himself.

[These are people who believe in the ‘Undefeated Incarnation of Training.’ The effects of your skill ‘Six Channels Sword Display’ has improved.]

The Mount Hua Sect hunters were sending their faith to the Undefeated Incarnation of Training, whom they believed to be Choi?Yeonseung’s?master. As a result, using his new power would now grant them more strength.

“!”

“!!”

A strong intangible force surrounded the Mount Hua Sect, surprising them. It felt as if they were wearing a huge piece of armor. Once they went on the offensive, the power went wild, granting even a third-rate hunter the ability to split apart iron and defensive magic!

The Mount Hua Sect hunters looked incredulous. Even though they weren’t using sword energy, they still became so much more powerful!

“Kill them all!”

Once the remaining hunters came to their senses and joined in, the Expert of Twisted Hallucinations’ minions were miserably annihilated. They tried to keep fighting until their bitter end, but the hunters calmly struck them down. Afterward, Kreger finally managed to take a breather. Enviously looking at Choi Yeonseung, he asked, “The Icarus clan is amazing. Are you here to help Richard Parker, your fellow clan member?”

“…… ”

Choi Yeonseung wondered what he was talking about until he finally realized it.

Ah…! Now that he had remembered it, there was a kid from the Parker family in the Icarus clan.
