The Constellation Returned From Hell Chapter 450

Chapter 450

At Choi Yeonseung’s shout, Uranta stopped running and looked over at him in a puzzled manner. He seemed confused as to why Choi Yeonseung had stopped him.

Barbagi replied instead, “You idiot… There are a lot of people watching. You have to think about Choi Yeonseung’s reputation.”

“So?”

“I will kill all the witnesses,” explained Barbagi. “Then you can kill those hunters.”

“?!?”

The Namahage clan hunters were horrified. They hadn’t expected the arrows to be turned toward them all of a sudden.

“Hey… We have no intention of saying anything!”

“How can we trust humans? I’m sure Choi Yeonseung thinks so as well. Right?”

“…No, don’t be ridiculous.”

“!?”

Barbagi looked genuinely surprised. He hadn’t thought that Choi Yeonseung would be against his plan. In fact, he had been certain that he would agree to killing all the humans here who could be witnesses and then execute those insolent fools who had tried to intervene…

“No?”

“No.”

“…”

The gathered household members looked at Choi Yeonseung with disappointed expressions, and they seemed like they had many things to say.

However, unlike many humans out there, these household members had common sense and a conscience. Choi Yeonseung had been so great in this raid that they wouldn’t dare go against his decision.

Instead, they looked at Illaphael.

-Speak to him for us.

-You don’t like humans either. Let’s persuade him to kill them.

-Are you going to just watch the people who disturbed us?

“…”

Of course, Illaphael couldn’t ignore the intense gazes of the other household members. She thought about it for a moment before saying, “Choi Yeonseung…”

“?”

“I respect your decision.”

“Thank you.”

“…”

“…”

“…”

The household members glared at Illaphael and were baffled. Illaphael averted her gaze, pretending they weren’t there.

‘She’s from the angel race, right?’

‘I think someone has taken possession of her body. It can’t be Illaphael.’

‘What is the angel constellation doing?’

Choi Yeonseung explained, “I’m not asking you to kneel before them. I’m just saying not to kill them.”

“Ah, so you’re saying that we should teach them a lesson by cutting off their limbs.”

Gray Elf Barbagi responded positively to Choi Yeonseung’s words. Among the gray elves, this kind of punishment was considered rather lenient.

Barbagi would’ve liked to punish those humans more harshly, but still, he didn’t want to upset Choi Yeonseung…

“A little easier.”

“One arm and one leg?”

“Um…”

“Oh, come on! How much can I cut?” Barbagi grumbled.

Listening to him, Illaphael couldn’t contain her anger and blurted, “Show respect! All you have to do is break their bones and destroy their magic power!”

“What type of childish punishment is that? They won’t learn a thing if I only do that to them!”

Choi Yeonseung heaved an exasperated sigh and gave up on trying to reason with them.

‘Come to think of it, if these guys do something extreme, everyone else will curse at their constellations, not me.’

All he had to do was stop them from killing the hunters. He wouldn’t intervene more than that.

***

[The realm of the ‘Black Magician Who Shares Everything’ has lost its master.]

[The household members and minions of the ‘Black Magician Who Shares Everything’ abandon their faith.]

“He did it!” Odaigon shouted happily as he guarded the orc plantation.

Ever since the start of the invasion, Choi Yeonseung’s household members had been so busy that they couldn’t even blink.

That was also the case with Odaigon. He had to assess the current situation in South Korea with the orcs, provide various necessary items if they were available, and prepare for a possible invasion of the Abyss by the evil god constellations.

“Ah. We need to send more orcs to South Korea!” Hwang Gyeongryong said firmly.

Exasperated, Odaigon replied, “How many times do I have to tell you that South Korea is safe right now?! The hunters have plenty of power and a lot of defenses. The orcs are holding out.”

“But South Korea is a very unpredictable place and you can easily get caught off guard and get seriously hurt! We need to send more orcs!”

Odaigon decided to stop paying him any attention. Regardless of Hwang Gyeongryong’s worries, South Korea was in fact the most stable country at the moment.

In comparison, the situation in the rest of the world was actually worrying Odaigon, and he wasn’t even human!

‘Are you okay, humans?’

Since he had once disguised himself as a human and had gone directly to Earth to follow Choi Yeonseung, Odaigon had become quite familiar with human civilization.

Humans were an unusual civilized race that had evolved without magic in highly dense areas, unlike the kingdoms of the Abyss!

Even though they were apart, they were strongly connected to each other.

‘I heard there are several factories in China… Will we be okay if they’re destroyed? Will that affect us? The country called the United States needs to finish things as quickly as possible so that Master’s property can be protected. I’m worried that it’s taking too long.’

“It’s not South Korea that I’m worried about, but the US.”

“Nah, we need to worry about other things. The Americans can do well on their own!” Hwang Gyeongryong snorted. This goblin didn’t know anything about Earth, and yet he was preaching about it to a human!

“The United States can do well on its own. You don’t need to send more forces there. Instead, you should send them to South Korea!”

“There’s no such thing in Master’s order, so it isn’t possible. Rather, I should bring in Illingars and Ganonvial. We need to occupy the realm of the Black Magician Who Shares Everything.”

“!”

Hwang Gyeongryong’s eyes widened. Earth was in turmoil, but apart from that, work in the Abyss had to proceed as planned.

The black magician constellation had been too greedy and suffered the humiliation of losing his body to mortals and having to flee to the Abyss.

This constellation was easily in the top thirty strongest constellations on Earth, but there would be no mercy after such a tremendous defeat.

Instead of participating in the Game of Stars on Earth, he had been forced to flee to protect his territory and his life.

“Master has defeated the black magician constellation and has the right to claim the best territory.”

‘How did he defeat a constellation?’

Hwang Gyeongryong was genuinely surprised. Of course, Choi Yeonseung was also a constellation, but he couldn’t use his power of existence on Earth. And yet, he had defeated the black magician constellation.

“I’ll leave it to you,” said Odaigon.

“…Um?!”

Hwang Gyeongryong was taken aback by that.

“I must go down to Earth and help Master in his work. Master has ordered me to go down.”

“No, wait! I don’t know which areas in the Abyss are the good ones!”

Hwang Gyeongryong was flustered. He was an S-grade hunter who had created one of the world’s largest companies, but that was only on Earth. This was the first time he was working in the Abyss.

Thus, it was hard to believe that Odaigon was entrusting him with picking a good area. How was he supposed to do that?

‘Is this like real estate investing?’

“It’s simple.”

“Oh, really?”

“Yes, just follow your heart.”

“…”

Hwang Gyeongryong almost cursed at Odaigon. His advice was absolutely ridiculous, and yet Odaigon had said that with a straight face and a serious tone… Folll0w current novÊls on n/o/v/3l/b((in).(co/m)

‘This is why goblins are…!’

“What? What do you mean, listen to your heart?”

“I’m being serious. Your instincts will tell you if an area is good or not. Anyway, I’ll get going.”

“Hey! Hey!!” shouted Hwang Gyeongryong, trying to stop Odaigon. However, the goblin king left without looking back.

‘Ugh. I can’t just pick anything…’

His younger brother had barely won and was coming back, so Hwang Gyeongryong couldn’t afford to choose an unsuitable area to expand his territory.

He pondered on it.

***

[Your power of existence has increased greatly!]

The moment he saw the shadowy undead warriors lose their power and disperse, Choi Yeonseung realized that the battle was over.

Of course, the remaining undead monsters were quite strong, but without a leader, they would quickly fall one after another.

-Aren’t you going to stop that?

The goddess of sloth pointed ahead. Barbagi and Uranta were on a rampage against the Japanese hunters who had tried to intervene.

“Draw your weapons! I’ll give you time to draw your weapons!”

“W-wait! What do you mean by this? We just came here to help! Aren’t you the household member of the Arrogant Light Elf? There are quite a few hunters in our clan who serve the Arrogant Light Elf. If you do this…”

Naturally, the hunters from the Onmoraki and Futachi clans didn’t back down easily. They had received orders from above.

-The household members of various constellations, including Hunter Choi Yeonseung, are conducting a raid in Shizuoka. Intervene at all costs! Don’t let the bastards monopolize it!

-I understand.

-Don’t worry.

-Shouldn’t we worry about conflict?

-No, don’t worry about that. They’re the household members of constellations, so they won’t complain that much. Choi Yeonseung will be dissatisfied, but the others won’t listen to a mere human. We’ll make some compromises afterwards and the whole thing will be over.

The Japanese government was already preparing gifts for the constellations.

Faith was the most important thing for a constellation, and the officials and politicians involved in this would not only offer their faith, but also pledge to actively support religious ceremonies for the constellations with government money.

…However, things hadn’t turned out as expected.

The hunters had come here with a lot of determination to put pressure on Choi Yeonseung and persuade him, but Choi Yeonseung was standing still in the distance. On the other hand, the other household members were threatening to decapitate them.

“Wait a minute!”

As the hunters were being intimidated by the furious household members, Onishi, the official following them, stepped forward.

The hunters sighed with relief at the appearance of the high-ranking official, who was a member of the National Diet.

Not even the good god constellations could act rashly against state officials. They recognized the status of such officials in their own way.

“You’ll understand if you listen to my explanation. Now, calm down.”

“You dare-?!”

Baam!

Barbagi clenched his fist and punched the middle-aged official, sending him flying as though he were a doll whose strings had been cut off.

“How dare you try to appease me? You cheeky lowly race!”

Barbagi’s anger erupted.

Given that good god constellations were also dignified and understood the importance of status, they would at least listen to what a high-ranking official had to say. However, their household members wouldn’t do something like that.

If they were in a bad mood, fists would be thrown.

“Those who don’t want to kneel down and admit their fault… Attack them!”

“I-I’ve been waiting for this.”

Uranta lunged and grabbed the nearest hunter tightly. The frightened hunter tried to draw his weapon, but Uranta was one step faster. In an instant, he snatched the hunter’s artifact and swung it at him, knocking him out cold.

“Y-you people didn’t help! Where were you when we needed help? Where?!”

“How dare you look down on Master?!”

The enraged household members stole the hunters’ artifacts and proceeded to beat them up. Those who tried to fight back with their skills took an even harder beating.

It was an unusual brawl between constellations and hunters.

“W-what’s going on?”

“I don’t know, but let’s take photos!”

The reporters waiting in the back ran over when they got confirmation that the undead had been defeated. They were baffled to see what was happening on the outskirts, but they decided to film and take photos before doing anything else.

As they did so, they couldn’t help wondering why those hunters were being beaten up.

“Hunter Choi Yeonseung! Hunter Choi Yeonseung is there!”

“Hunter Choi Yeonseung, can you give us a few words? You should give a speech about your heroic achievements. You literally saved the city…”

Choi Yeonseung, who was checking what the black magician constellation had left behind, answered calmly as the reporters rushed over, “I didn’t do it alone. I did it with the household members of the constellations over there.”

“…”

“…”

The reporters looked to where Choi Yeonseung was pointing. There were no hunters standing on their feet because the household members had knocked them out cold. Even then, they were still kicking the hunters as though their anger hadn’t fully subsided.

Choi Yeonseung cleared his throat as he realized how bad it looked.

“Yeah, so there must’ve been some differences of opinion… Heh…”
