The Constellation Returned From Hell Chapter 259

Chapter 259

What are you doing? Why are you helping that insignificant mosquito bastard?

The constellation of understanding found it absurd.

Choi Yeonseung was the household member of the incarnation of training.

The constellation of understanding was under the impression that it had joined forces with the incarnation of training. Therefore, it couldn’t help being dumbfounded that this household member stood in its way.

“Hey. You said you were going to kill everyone here. Did you think I would stay still?”

Aren’t you your master’s servant?

Contrary to its title, the constellation of understanding couldn’t understand Choi Yeonseung’s intentions. There was no reason to save these people, since they didn’t serve his constellation.

At these words, some vampires also became suspicious. They looked at Choi Yeonseung with puzzled expressions.

-Yes, why are you helping us, human?

“I don’t know about you barbarians who play around in the Abyss, but the humans on our planet usually go out of their way to stop anyone who threatens to kill millions of civilians,” replied Choi Yeonseung, his voice full of contempt.

Most Abyssal races were like barbarians with highly developed magical skills, but otherwise less developed than the humans on Earth. That was especially the case when it came to concepts such as democracy.

Long ago, on Earth, a king had met his end by being beheaded at the guillotine. Meanwhile, most Abyssal races were still stuck in a despotic monarchy. Many of them didn’t even understand what a president or the Congress was. They mistook the president for a tribe chief or a king.

-But didn’t you kill your own people without hesitation?

One of the vampires asked that question when he suddenly remembered how Choi Yeonseung had slaughtered several British hunters just a few minutes ago.

“It was an unavoidable sacrifice.”

-…???

The vampires couldn’t wrap their heads around it. It was rather apparent that Choi Yeonseung didn’t really like these British people, and yet he was helping the British citizens in the city.

Garhansha opened his mouth after having listened in silence.

-Young vampires. That’s true honor.

-…!

-Anyone can go out of their way to stand up for what they care about and love, but it’s when you take pity on what you dislike, or hate, that honor truly comes out.

At Garhansha’s words, the vampires looked at Choi Yeonseung with impressed expressions. Choi Yeonseung was slightly stung by those words.

‘…I’m doing this because I’ve won the constellation battle.’

Choi Yeonseung wasn’t so evil that he would just watch millions of people die, but he also wasn’t so kind as to do good deeds without any greed involved. The holy relic was already in his possession. He just had to declare victory and the constellation battle would be concluded!

…However, Choi Yeonseung didn’t do so.

“Why didn’t you declare victory?” asked Adaquaniel in a low voice.

“I won’t be able to help them if the battle is over,” replied Choi Yeonseung while pointing at Garhansha and the other vampires.

Given the violent nature of the giant slime constellation, it was likely that it would continue rampaging even after the constellation battle ended. The giant slime was likely planning to burn London to the ground just to vent its anger.

Therefore, they had to do their best to prevent it.

Given the strength of Garhansha and his vampire clan, Choi Yeonseung absolutely had to borrow their power.

‘We won’t be able to do anything if the constellation gets past the blockade that resulted from the constellation battle and just starts destroying the city.’

Choi Yeonseung was a master of attacking while simultaneously dodging and deflecting the opponent’s attacks, but he couldn’t prevent the opponent from using wide-area attacks in all directions. At the very least, they needed someone to keep the constellation of understanding here.

Adaquaniel nodded. “Indeed… You won’t hesitate to use despicable methods. It’s wonderful.”

“…N-No. Doesn’t it sound too dirty when you say it like that…?”

Choi Yeonseung was slightly taken aback when he heard these words from Adaquaniel. Of course, Adaquaniel had said them as a compliment, but they certainly didn’t seem like one to Choi Yeonseung.

Fine. After all, it’s a constellation’s duty to wake up the mind of a mortal!

‘If anyone else was to look at it, they would think it’s been ten thousand years since this slime became a constellation.’

Choi Yeonseung disapproved of this constellation. He felt somewhat bad seeing this constellation be so arrogant despite having only a few years of experience.

-Where the hell did such an irritating constellation come from?

Garhansha shouted in a voice filled with determination.

-My clan members! Establish formation! We must stop that constellation! Put the honor of the clan on the line and protect Master’s followers in the city!

I will destroy each and every one of you and then burn this city to ashes. Both the Noble Crown Collector, who dared to deceive me, and the Undefeated Incarnation of Training, who arrogantly dared to attack me, will come to their senses when they see this!!

“…”

“…”

The Londoners who had come out to watch the fight were horrified by the shout of the giant slime. The citizens had thought that no matter who won, they wouldn’t get harmed, but this constellation was much crazier than expected.

“What… What’s that giant liquid monster talking about??”

“Run away, everybody!”

Citizens ran through the streets in a panic. The people who had just come out without having heard the slime’s cry didn’t know what was happening and asked around.

“What? Where are you going?”

“That slime bastard is going to kill all of us!”

“What are you saying…?”

“It must be nonsense. A constellation won’t just kill us like that. They like us.”

“…Step aside, you dumb bastards!”

Clashes also broke out among citizens. The collector constellation had ruled the United Kingdom for a long time and had accumulated quite a few sincere believers. Those believers thought that the collector constellation was a much better leader than the British royal family or the government that had disappeared.

“These assholes are about to flee! Stop them before the collector constellation gets angry!”

“Get out of the way, you dumbasses! We’ll all die if this continues!”

“Everyone, go back!”

Even the British police came out and blocked the road. These officers had taken office under the collector constellation, not the original government, so they listened to the orders of the constellation. They obviously had to prevent the Londoners from leaving the city without permission.

“Police! These people are trying to flee the city! They intend to betray the constellation!”

“It’s so frustrating that I’m going crazy! If this keeps going, we’ll all die!”

The citizens trying to escape were dying of frustration. They needed to get away from the city as soon as possible, but these morons…

Suddenly, there was an ear-splitting explosion. The slime’s huge body flew away and collapsed. A thick lump of mucus crashed into a building, melting it down.

“…”

“…”

People stopped fighting and fell silent at this surreal sight.

What on Earth was going on…?

Thump!

Choi Yeonseung also landed here. He had deflected the powerful attack of the constellation of understanding and thrown himself backward. Upon landing, Choi Yeonseung was surprised to see the mass of people around him.

“What are you doing here?”

The people who had been fiercely fighting with each other fell completely silent. Even the policemen, who had been trying to prevent the citizens from fleeing, went silent!

“They… they’re trying to stop us from escaping, Hunter Choi Yeonseung!”

“They’re the ones clinging to the evil god constellation, Hunter Choi Yeonseung! Get rid of them!”

Bam!

Choi Yeonseung lightly swung his fist like a whip.

…Towards the person who just spoke.

The spectating police officers looked at Choi Yeonseung in a bewildered manner. Weren’t the foreign hunters supposed to attack those who were on the side of the constellation?

“Ah. I’m sorry. It’s the first time I’ve met you. I don’t like you ordering me around, so stop it.”

“…”

“…”

The gathered citizens quickly calmed down as if they had just been doused with cold water. They realized what kind of person Choi Yeonseung was.

Because they consumed foreign media, the British citizens subconsciously assumed that A-grade hunters were automatically heroes. However, A-grade hunters were in reality more like powerful gangsters.

They had forgotten about it because they had lived for a long time in a place dominated by a constellation, but they risked receiving a beating if they pissed off an A-grade hunter.

Choi Yeonseung opened his mouth. “Hey. Order an evacuation. You never know what will happen in the city. Who’s the chief?”

“T-The chief?”

“Your chief.”

“If you’re talking about the Commissioner of the Police…”

“I don’t know who it is, so tell me quickly. Continue with the evacuation and let the people leave the city. That way, fewer people will die.”

“But the constellation…”

Bam!

Another police officer fell to the ground almost unconscious. Choi Yeonseung spoke to the police officer next to him. Fiind upd𝒂ted 𝒏ovels on n𝒐/v/elbin(.)co/m

“Hey.”

“I’ll get in touch with him! I’ll get in touch with him!”

“Alright.”

Choi Yeonseung nodded.

In times like this, violence was the easiest way of getting things done.

“Tell the chief that if he doesn’t do his job properly, he will have to confront me one-on-one. Do you see what the current situation is? If you make a fuss because of the constellation, you’ll be the first one to die. Do you understand?”

“Y-Yes!”

***

Garhansha felt more and more exhausted.

No matter how he looked at it in the first place, it made no sense for a mortal to confront a constellation. In addition, the constellation of understanding was getting more and more accustomed to using its power of existence in combat.

‘It’s a big problem…!’

Suddenly, the red mist disappeared and got sealed away.

[The ‘One Who Understands and Penetrates Through Indeterminate Forms’ is using its power!]

You mosquito! Try and stop this…

Bang!

It was Choi Yeonseung who saved Garhansha. He launched a strong attack where he covered his body with concentrated energy and shot out like a bullet, blowing away the slime’s large body! Once again, the constellation of understanding cried out.

You are really annoying!

“It would be more convenient if we both retreated and left the city behind.”

Do you think I am going to just be insulted like this?

‘I don’t know how many more hits I have to deal.’

Choi Yeonseung clicked his tongue. The constellation of understanding was now furious, but once it calmed down and started thinking rationally again, it was bound to withdraw. There was no point if they fought here.

Now the question was: When was the giant slime going to come back to its senses?

Fight!

“…?!”

Choi Yeonseung wondered what the constellation of understanding was about to summon. He soon found out. The hunters of the Knight of the Holy Temple, who had been hiding somewhere, suddenly emerged.

.

“Hunter Choi Yeonseung.”

The hunters called him out with firm expressions, and Choi Yeonseung, dumbfounded by their appearance, asked, “Are you serious? This constellation is trying to blow away London, and you’re cooperating with it?!”

“It’s a necessary sacrifice in order to drive out the evil god constellation.”

“I see.”

‘There’s no point in talking to lunatics’

Choi Yeonseung pointed behind them.

“But what’s that?”

“…?”

The moment the hunters of the Knight of the Holy Temple looked back, Choi Yeonseung fired at them bullets of concentrated energy that traveled at lighting speed. Like soldiers standing in front of a machine gun, the hunters of the knights collapsed without being able to do anything.

You stupid humans!

“Constellation, what is it that you want? What do you gain from wreaking havoc here?” Adaquaniel intervened.

The two constellations were at a tense stalemate. The constellation of understanding wanted to somehow break through the siege and obliterate London, but whenever it tried to do that, Choi Yeonseung launched an attack that bound its movements.

Choi Yeonseung wanted to defeat this slime, but it was a constellation after all. Given that it used the power of existence, its regenerative and defensive powers were unimaginable.

The constellation felt it as well.

I have the chance to take everything the collector constellation has and destroy it! No matter how hard you try to protect it, I will inevitably exact my revenge! So get out of my way!

“That has nothing to do with the collector constellation.”

Adaquaniel exchanged looks with Choi Yeonseung. They now felt they could talk to the constellation.

Adaquaniel explained, “Once this constellation battle is over, this land and its minions will be ruled by my master and the incarnation of training.”

What do you mean?

-What are you talking about?

Garhansha asked that in a sober tone as he was gasping with exhaustion next to them.
