The Constellation Returned From Hell

Chapter 100

“You are filthy, noisy bastards!”

Odaigon cast magic on the complaining hunters. He didn’t just throw them away and run. He continued to use healing magic as he moved. The hunters were surprised to see him use high-level healing magic while moving and talking.

This was an S-grade healer!

‘He’s really incredible!’

‘He’s a bit weird, but his skills are amazing! Isn’t he better than Whittaker?’

‘His personality is better as well!’

Whittaker annoyed people by always tapping on calculators, but he was still treated well in the clan since his skills as a healer were certain! However, Odaigon’s skills were better than Whittaker’s. Even Whittaker wouldn’t be able to do what Odaigon was doing. He was a bit unusual, but...

Didn’t he seem like a fairy compared to Whittaker?

‘Isn’t he better than Whittaker?’

‘He’s definitely better than Whittaker.’

The look in the hunters’ eyes softened as they watched?Odaigon.

Let’s be friends!

“Cast some enhancement magic. That should be enough to do damage the banshee.”

“Understood!”

Odaigon?felt excited now that the time to assist his constellation had come! Hence, he prepared magic with all his might.

-Odaigon’s Magic Light Sword, Odaigon’s Illusion Clone, Odaigon’s Spirit Blow, Odaigon’s Damage Amplification!

6th-circle buff magic swiftly flew over.

Odaigon?was an archmage who could create his own magic. On Earth, dozens of researchers would have to put their heads together and study for several years to create low-circle magic. However, Odaigon?could make new 6th-circle magic by himself. His power was truly terrifying.

Odaigon’s Magic Light Sword enveloped Choi Yeonseung’s sword, causing its blade to glow. He also applied Odaigon’s Spirit Blow to its blade, making it capable of damaging a spirit. Meanwhile, Odaigon’s Damage Amplification amplified the power of all spells.

The sword flashed once more. The banshee instinctively tried to avoid it, but she wasn’t used to Choi Yeonseung’s swordsmanship yet, which was so profound nobody could get used to it after just one attack from it! ?Even though she tried to dodge, the sword’s trajectory bizarrely twisted and cut the banshee.

-■■■■■■■■■■■■!

Her scream was many times louder than before.

[Odaigon’s Magic Light Sword...]

[Odaigon’s Spirit Blow...]

[......]

‘No. Isn’t this more amazing than I thought?’

Choi Yeonseung was more surprised than the banshee he had cut. Odaigon’s magic was better than he thought. During his time in the Abyss, he had never required his household member’s support since he could use his power as a constellation to his heart’s content and could use his martial arts to the fullest. At Choi Yeonseung’s peak, Odaigon’s magic was more of a hindrance.

However, With his martial arts stage restricted here on Earth, he realized how helpful Odaigon’s magic was. The magic amplified the sword energy he unleashed, making it several times stronger.

‘At this level, I won’t have to struggle in combat despite the stage restrictions...’

One of Choi Yeonseung’s biggest concerns was having to hide his power. If he showed too much power, the constellations would become suspicious! The constellations would doubt it if he suddenly boosted the power he was gradually showing. The problem was that his opponents didn’t fight with that in mind.

Choi Yeonseung had to deal with strong opponents in the cusp between the first-class and the peak-class stages. Hence, even he, who had fought in millions of battles, found some situations difficult. However, Odaigon’s magic greatly reduced such difficulties. Choi Yeonseung’s status was still the same, but he became several times stronger with his household member’s magic.

“Odaigon. Your magic is amazing!”

“!!!”

Praised by Choi Yeonseung, Odaigon?trembled?with emotion. It was the first time Choi Yeonseung had ever praised his magic!

“I’ll use more!”

“No, you don’t have to.”

“Okay...”

“In any case, your magic is really great. Hmm… I want to learn that as well.”

It would be much easier if Choi Yeonseung could directly cast enhancement magic on his sword. That would open up more ways for him to fight despite being in the same martial arts stage.

“It would be my honor! I’ll teach you! Magic isn’t hard! It’s really easy and fun!”

“I-I see.”

Odaigon?was so happy Choi Yeonseung was interested in magic that he shouted like a 1st dan goblin instructor. As Choi Yeonseung listened, he suddenly grew curious about something.

“Is it really easy? How long will it take to learn the magic you just used?”

“100...”

“100 days? That’s shorter than I—”

“...Years or so?”

“......”

“...I’m sorry.”

Odaigon?was the greatest hero of his planet, and his unit of time was different from that of humans. He easily lived for hundreds of years!

“Thank you for letting me know...”

-■■!

The banshee screamed behind him, barely surviving the wound.

Die!

Choi Yeonseung threw the sword without looking back and killed the banshee.

[The dungeon has been cleared.]

[The Otherworld has ended.]

“?”

“? ?”

“No, it only goes all the way to the 5th floor? ”

The hunters who came out looked as if they found it absurd.

The staff member spoke proudly.

“We didn’t say how many floors there were.”

“It’s called the Endless Tower Dungeon. It doesn’t make sense for it to only have five floors!”

“We said it was different from the actual dungeon.”

“......”

The dumbfounded hunters shut up.

That was true, but...!

“As expected. We don’t know what we can face in real dungeons, which is why they’re doing this…”

“No, friend. ?Don’t think too well of it,” Smallwood replied, finding it ridiculous.

For the hunters who thought it would go up to the 10th floor, the virtual dungeon ending on the 5th floor was just absurd. Why was it made like this?

“There are a few reasons for it.”

“Ernest...!”

The complaining hunters shut their mouths the moment Ernest came out. He might be retired, but his authority as an A-grade hunter was immense. There was a reason no one resisted even though Ernest bullied them with all types of ■-like training.contemporary romance

“First, becoming careless just because you already know the dungeon is a bad habit.”

“You’re certainly right.”

“......”

“......”

The hunters stared at Choi Yeonseung, who appeared to be full of admiration.

“What is it?”

“Nothing. It’s nothing.”

‘They really are from the same generation...’

Smallwood curiously asked, “What’s the second reason?”

“Do I have to tell you everything?”

“No... That isn’t necessary...”

The second reason was simple. In the first place, the purpose of this dungeon wasn’t to compete for rankings. The original purpose was to pressure the hunters by sending out monsters several times faster than the tower. It was as Ernest always said. Hunters should be capable of responding to unexpected situations.

What Ernest wanted was to surprise a team of hunters with a dungeon that was becoming stronger faster than expected, ultimately forcing them to team up to fight back. He didn’t mean for them to clear or enter it alone.

‘The Endless Tower Dungeon’s monsters are said to increase in number the more hunters enter it. ?Even so, it is more advantageous for the hunters to team up and clear it. it’s just a virtual dungeon, but those greedy enough to want to clear it by themselves aren’t qualified.’

However, Choi Yeonseung was different. The dungeon forced the hunters to compete for the rankings, but he still formed a team before going in!

-Those people are the type to refuse to form a team, yet he still managed to bring them along somehow?

-Yes. They don’t know anything.

Hwang Gyeongryong had told him not to forcibly push Choi Yeonseung up, but to let him rise in the clan by himself. However, that didn’t seem necessary. He was already pulling around selfish people like this...

“Don’t you think Ernest is looking at us strangely?”

“Must just be your imagination.”

Ernest’s fond gaze gave the hunters an ominous feeling.

Why was he doing this?

Ernest looked around, then spoke. “Prepare yourselves, everyone. We have a flight to catch.”

“?”

“We’re going to a dungeon.”

***

The clan in charge of the area a dungeon was found in had the right to raid it first. However, if their raid failed, other clans could have a go at it. This wasn’t often the case. From the clan’s point of view, not being able to clear the dungeon in their own area was a big loss. The rewards from the dungeon and the monster cores would all fly away from their grasp. Above all, their reputation as a clan would be ruined.

However, there was nothing they could do about dungeons that they couldn’t clear. The hunters of the Icarus clan were flying in a private plane to clear a dungeon.

Yawning, Choi Yeonseung looked around. Everyone was full of anticipation, even Antony.

“Did everyone eat the wrong food today? The atmosphere is strange.”

“Friend, honestly, aren’t you looking forward to it?”

“What?”

“Aish, you know.”

“...... ?”

Unlike the 1st generation that Choi Yeonseung was a part of, the number of hunters in this age had increased exponentially. In other words...

It wasn’t easy to gain fame. They had to somehow emerge from the crowd of hunters! Despite doing their own personal broadcasting, being active on social media, or joining hunter sports, many were still buried! Self-promotion was now an essential skill for a hunter.

“That’s why you posted on social media, ‘A hunter’s life is a life of endless combat... No matter how many of them you defeat, monsters continue to appear endlessly... You have to endure it to rise to the top...’ Didn’t you write something like that?”

“...I-I was hacked. I didn’t write that.” Smallwood excused himself. He had drunk some alcohol when he wrote that, but he didn’t know he would be teased like this!

“So what does self-promotion have to do with this dungeon?”

“A dungeon that has failed to be cleared by the clan in charge of its location will get a lot of attention.”

There were countless hunters and just as many dungeons. Low-level dungeons being cleared didn’t even appear in the news. However, there were several incidents that were on different dimensions.

A monster wave, where monsters exploded out of the Abyss gate.

A hunter terror, where hunters seduced and corrupted by evil god constellations ran wild.

A red dungeon, where all the hunters who entered were wiped out!

It wasn’t an official name but dungeons that had wiped out several teams had become collectively called red dungeons. The clan in charge would’ve tried more than once and not given up on the target, so the dungeon they were currently headed to was most likely a red dungeon.

“Look. There is already an uproar.”

-Is it true that there is a red dungeon in Long Beach? Did the Airst clan fail?

ㄴIt’s true. I looked at the hunters’ social media, and many people have already gathered.

ㄴㄴ Izidor is there as well.

ㄴㄴㄴReally? I’ll go take a look.

“...Can they post things like this?”

Choi Yeonseung was puzzled by the phenomenon of hunters posting information such as ‘I’m going to attack this dungeon’ or ‘I failed this dungeon’ on social media. It was a phenomenon that was hard to accept even though he understood it! How could they sell valuable information like that?

“Following hunters’ social media is great. They offer a lot of good information, friend.”

Smallwood showed the accounts of other clans.

@Clan_Ambi

-The Ambitus clan will attack the dungeon this clan failed to clear. Stay tuned for the performance of America’s top clan, the Ambitus clan!

@Dragon_Hwang

-Do you think you’re the only one that’s going to raid it? How can you call yourself the best?

‘Hyung...’

Choi Yeonseung covered his face.

What was he doing on SNS?
