Chapter 469: Chapter 469

‘I don’t know what this crazy constellation is doing.’

Choi Yeonseung was flustered by the other party’s proposal.

It was extremely rare for a constellation to retreat without a fight like this.

[The ‘Cat of Lava and Magma’ asks if it is trying to avoid a fight because it isn't confident.] n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

-Don’t speak nonsense. Cat constellation. Do you think this is the outskirts of the Abyss?

[The ‘Cat of Lava and Magma’ becomes sullen.]

It didn’t make sense that this constellation wasn’t confident when it came all the way to Earth and made a name for itself outside the Abyss.

Of course, it might be less militant constellations but there were basically none that avoided fighting.

The Marauder Wielding a Scythe. Tell me what you know about the Bubbling Mass of Plague.

[The ‘Marauder Wielding a Scythe’ protests, asking if you can give orders like this as you please.]

[He says that the ‘Bubbling Mass of Plague’ is a coward compared to its power...]

[...]

‘Um?’

The listening Choi Yeonseung paused.

Was it because the constellation was really scared?

[The ‘Cat of Lava and Magma’ becomes angry because it said this!]

***

The constellation couldn’t just run away. If it wanted to escape, tell him everything he knew about the other enemies.

Choi Yeonseung came up with quite unreasonable conditions.

Originally, he didn’t know if it would be better to just accept the proposal.

If the opponent just wanted to run away, it wasn’t a bad choice to reduce the enemy’s power in the current situation.

However, Choi Yeonseung was in the advantageous position and pushed once more.

‘Will it accept this?’

-I don’t think so...

[The ‘Bubbling Mass of Plague’ asks if that is all you need and says that it understands!]

-...

-...

Choi Yeonseung and the goddess of sloth were speechless at the moment.

...Could it really do this?

Of course, Choi Yeonseung knew that the evil god constellations despised and loathed each other.

However, it was a different story to tell him all about the enemy’s strength.

If it was found to have betrayed the others so badly, wouldn’t the other evil god constellations later die and sharpen their swords to take revenge?

-Well... There is nothing wrong with receiving it. I’ll take it.

-T-Then do so.

[The ‘Six-Winged Angel Who Hunts Dragons’ apologizes for his short-sightedness.]

[He says he was deeply impressed by how you brought down the enemy even before you started fighting.]

***

The household member sent to Texas by the Giant with the First Flame was Igerka, the messenger of flames.

He looked like a small bird on the outside, but Igerka was a vicious A-grade monster.

An arsonist monster who spat out flames, swallowed flames and burned everything around him to ashes!

He was a monster who transformed his surroundings into a hell of flames, so he was perfect for a constellation like the Giant with the First Flame who wanted to get his hands on a new area.

Igerka spat out flames and the flames spread around him to burn down buildings and facilities. Using this power, Igerka would spit out flames again. As the heat became hotter, the various first-type monsters became more powerful...

This cycle ran solidly and made the Giant with the First Flame smile.

It was in the already hot and dry Texas. The fires that spread throughout this place would continue un-extinguished for years.

The Giant with the First Flame could’ve argued for a retreat instead of an all-out battle. He had already gained a huge amount of the power of existence...

-Master. Enemies on the move.

If possible, don’t fight and just back away. Fight the others first.

The evil god constellations who set foot in Texas all had similar thoughts.

If the enemies entered, watch the other constellations fight first. Then they would get an estimate of the fighting power!

-Master. They’ve decided on a direction and they are coming this way.

Annoying idiots! Why are they coming this way? I’m sure there are plenty of other places to go!

The Giant with the First Flame was annoyed.

In this large and wide land mass, they were flocking to the place controlled by the Giant with the First Flame.

Send the fire drakes. Their numbers have increased considerably, so this is enough to stop the enemies.

The fire drakes.

On Earth, they were monsters classified as B-grade.

It was a monster with a heavy body that was a mixture of a giant crocodile and a dragon, and could cause enormous civilian damage once it appeared in the city center.

Moreover, as the area around here became hotter and drier, the power of the fire drakes was multiplied. Considering the number of monsters that had recently hatched from eggs, they would be much more powerful than a halfway A-grade monster.

The enemies who came to scout with a light heart would surely retreat!

?!?

But the Giant with the First Flame was surprised.

***

Illeya looked at Choi Yeonseung with a worried expression.

There was only one reason.

The area they were trying to target now was the area occupied by the Giant with the First Flame.

Which skill would be the most effective?

It was the power of the Observer Who Returned From a Cold Place that Illeya could use.

From a distance, Choi Yeonseung looked really heroic. However, when fighting closely together, Choi Yeonseung was more like a crazy boss.

But it wasn’t like he gave orders from the rear. He fought in front and said, ‘You can do it too! Now, one, two! One, two! Use your power!’ Illeya was unable to say no and had to use her power.

The power of the constellation wasn’t something that could be used easily because it was a heavy burden on the body of an ordinary human being...

If Illeya had been fluent in Korean, she would’ve uttered a few swear words.

“Excuse me, you there.”

“?”

Illaphael turned her head when Illeya spoke to her.

Illeya said cautiously, “I’m not confident... If an angel takes the lead this time...”

“Thank you.”

Illaphael nodded with a satisfied smile.

Illeya’s expression lit up.

“But it is Choi Yeonseung who gives orders. I have no intention of coming forward on my own.”

“...”

Illeya looked at Illaphael in a bewildered manner.

Since when did Illaphael become so mature?

Usually she insisted on taking the lead first...

“!?”

Illeya became startled when Choi Yeonseung suddenly started to emit extreme cold air from both hands.

“Ah. Are you surprised?”

Illeya nodded in response.

“Martial arts can do. Since I received the information, I can prepare beforehand.”

He was still sloppy with magic, but when it came to martial arts, Choi Yeonseung was a constellation who reached the level of perfection where he could create new martial arts if given a bit of time.

After hearing the information of the Giant with the First Flame, Choi Yeonseung created a new martial art that only used the extremely yin energy among all the energies available to him.

It was a martial arts technique that used the most natural cold energy, so it boasted a power so strong that most cold magic couldn’t match it.

Illeya clapped in admiration.

“Amazing!”

“Thank you for your high regard.”

“Then this time...”

“But compared to the power you can summon, my martial art is narrow in scope and specialized in one-on-one. I need you.”

“...”

Illeya’s expression became cold. Illaphael, who was next to her, spoke enviously, “If I had cold-type powers...”

“Don’t worry, Illaphael. You have your own task to do.”

“That is good to hear.”

“...”

Despite the warm conversation between the two of them, Illeya’s expression didn’t change.

***

The enemies who entered the area didn’t panic even when the fire drakes came in droves. Instead, they targeted the weak spots and killed the monsters.

The movements of the fire drakes slowed in an instant due to the use of a power to drop the surrounding temperature.

-Grrrruk... Gruruk.

The household member of the Undefeated Incarnation of Training sucked in the flames spread all over the place, confined them and started using them to train the fire drakes.

The fire drakes, who were shivering from the cold air, were trained here and there as if possessed by the flames handled by the household members.

It didn’t make sense to the Giant with the First Flame.

If the constellations fought each other, he could win or lose.

The weakness in the power of the Giant with the First Flame could’ve been found.

However, it wouldn’t be so fast.

How could the enemies attack so quickly without a moment to catch their breath?

Take Igerka and retreat! Once the flames die out, the area itself will weaken.

The Giant with the First Flame hastily issued an order without caring about reputation.

Only the most important household members were allowed to flee to avoid the enemy.

If they fled to the household members of other evil god constellations...

[The ‘Beast of Swords and Spears’ is perplexed about what is going on.]

[The ‘Giant with the First Flame’ pretends not to hear it.]

[The ‘Beast of Swords and Spears’ taunts and tells you to watch.]

Rather, the Beast of Swords and Spears thought it was good.

There were advantages to having multiple evil god constellations, but there was also the disadvantage of having to separate their power of existence from each other.

If he took this opportunity to expel the Giant with the First Flame...

??!?

However, the Beast of Swords and Spears also had to feel the shock that the Giant with the First Flame felt.

The Beast of Swords and Spears had bestowed the ‘Power of the Blade’ to its household members wandering the area.

This was one of the strongest powers of a constellation and had enormous defense against blade-type weapons.

Since swords were the most commonly seen among the artifacts possessed by human hunters, the Beast of Swords and Spears thought that this power would be extremely strong.

...But the hunters Choi Yeonseung brought were composed of only long-range damage dealers. They fired and killed the household members of the Beast of Swords and Spears.

The power used by the Beast of Swords and Spears collapsed in vain.

[The ‘Beast of Swords and Spears’ is surprised by the power of the ‘Goddess of Balance Who Walks Ahead’!]

[The ‘Giant with the First Flame’ says it is ridiculous.]

[The power to predict the future is a vague and uncertain power, but it is perfect in a situation where nothing is known...]

[The ‘Beast of Swords and Spears’ says it doesn’t explain how the opponent moves so perfectly!]

If it was a simple battle of strength versus strength, the fight wouldn’t have been so shocking.

The raid method of blatantly attacking the weaknesses was more shocking to the constellations.

How did they do this?

***

[The ‘Goddess of Discord and Estrangement’ approaches the ‘Six-Winged Angel Who Hunts Dragons’.]

The angel constellation naturally expressed displeasure at the approach of a constellation that everyone in the Abyss was reluctant to approach.

Get lost. I’m not in the mood to listen to your nonsense!

[The ‘Goddess of Discord and Estrangement’ appeals that she has important information.]

[She says that the ‘Six-Winged Angel Who Hunts Dragons’ and ‘Undefeated Incarnation of Training’ are currently being deceived by the ‘Goddess of Balance Who Walks Ahead.’]

......

The angel constellation paused for a moment.

In response, the Goddess of Discord and Estrangement realized that she had properly stabbed a weak point.

Due to the realms she was in charge of, the Goddess of Discord and Estrangement knew how to keenly detect the gaps between allies.

Recently, the good god constellations seemed to be firmly united, starting with the Undefeated Incarnation of Training. But among them, the Goddess of Balance Who Walks Ahead was an exception.

The good god constellations were suspicious of her, so even the slightest doubt could lead to more discord!

...Tell me in more detail.

[The ‘Goddess of Discord and Estrangement’ prides herself on always speaking with evidence.]

The goddess inwardly sneered.

This response showed it was a half-success.

[The ‘Six-Winged Angel Who Hunts Dragons’ calls out the ‘Undefeated Incarnation of Training’.]

[He says to listen to the accusation of the ‘Goddess of Discord and Estrangement’ together.]

......

The Goddess of Discord and Estrangement was astonished by the sudden move to call the other constellation right away without asking for permission.

What was this...?
