The Constellation Returned From Hell

Chapter 89

“C-Clan leader. Do you believe him?”

“I have to. I don’t have a choice.”

Roxanne’s words made her clan members speechless. She was right! Moreover, getting help from Choi Yeonseung in this critical situation was a very alluring option. Besides, he said he would take care of it...

If this was true, thanking him over and over again wouldn’t be enough.

***

Among Korean hunters, there was a slang term called ‘riding the bus.’?They used it when they were lucky enough to do a raid with a top-tier hunter! Even if there was only one top-tier hunter, the raid became incredibly easy.

The Black Cactus hunters were currently experiencing what it meant to ‘ride the bus.’

“Ohhhhh! Choi Yeonseung!”

“Korea’s?Fist?Hero! Korea’s?Fist?Hero!”

“But isn’t he using a sword?”

“... Sword Saint! Sword Saint!”

It wasn’t the general public who was cheering now. It was the clan hunters. Roxanne looked dumbfounded.

‘Are they crazy?’

However, she couldn’t say anything. The atmosphere of the raid was too good right now. A sudden barrier, insufficient supplies, and a lack of personnel...

Rather than getting angry, she should be thankful that things were going well even in this situation. If she broke this atmosphere, then she would be disqualified as a clan leader. This was all thanks to Choi Yeonseung, the hunter wielding a sword in front of her.

‘The Icarus clan... What crazy bastards. How did they create such a monster?’

He wasn’t created by the Icarus clan, but it was still surprising to Roxanne. Was this the power of capital?

“There is a monster hiding on the left side of the intersection ahead. Prepare your magic.”

Choi Yeonseung was the perfect bus driver. He accurately noticed hidden monsters that were difficult to detect even with detection magic or various drones.

“If I throw a rock now, it will jump out in surprise. Aim for its back. That’s its weak point.”

“How do you even know its back is its weakness... ”

“Hey! if the Fist Hero says its back is the monster’s weakness, then that is its weakness. You’re talking too much, bastard!”

“Are you a B-grade hunter? Want me to beat you up, you jerk?”

“He’s from the Icarus clan. He can conduct his own investigation!”

The hunter who asked the question out of curiosity was so heavily criticized he became depressed. The other clan members were simply worried that he would offend Choi Yeonseung.

“Don’t be like that. If you have any questions during the raid, then feel free to ask.”

“Ohhh...”

“Choi Yeonseung! Choi Yeonseung! Choi Yeonseung!”

Choi Yeonseung’s role didn’t end with the search. His true value appeared when the monsters came out and a fight broke out.

“The magic missed! Prepare defense magic! Tankers, come forward!”

“No. There is no need.”

Choi Yeonseung didn’t fall back as the monster rushed over. Rather, he stood still. He seemed crazy at first, but the moment the monster attacked, Choi Yeonseung disappeared. By the next moment, he was already on top of the monster. There was no need to inflict a critical hit. Martial artists held the ground closest to the enemy and drew aggro!

Furious, the monster turned around to aim for Choi Yeonseung. Things became surprisingly easier with only him in the front. To the long-ranged combatants behind him, Choi Yeonseung felt like a strong wall.

This was a real tanker! Ordinary tankers stood in front with defensive shield-like magic. On the other hand, Choi Yeonseung moved in all directions and tricked his enemies. Whenever they would attack, he would then shift, deflect, and counter to interfere. He could do the part of two or three tankers by himself.

The Black Cactus hunters quickly broke through the streets. They were in a deadly situation against a rock drake, and a lizardman magician was supporting it from behind. Nevertheless...

Choi Yeonseung climbed the wall of the building, went around the rear, and took off the lizardman magician’s head. Left alone and confused, the rock drake soon collapsed.

[The lizardman magician has fallen! The ‘Invasive Jungle’ artifact has been destroyed.]

[The ’Invasive Jungle’ has been nullified!]

The moment the barrier was released, the people waiting outside started to rush in. Some of them were civilians who couldn’t enter to watch and media outlets and reporters who came upon hearing the news. It didn’t matter how long it had been since a gate had opened. Once a dungeon had exploded in the middle of a city and monsters had swarmed out, it would be seen as a major event.

“It broke! The barrier broke!”

“Hello. Pay attention, viewers! I am currently in front of the Cosmopolitan Hotel. Not only did the dungeon explode, but we couldn’t enter due to a barrier… until now! Let’s go in and check the situation out! Ah. The hunters are coming out!”

The reporter beckoned to the staff member to prepare for the interview. Nothing caught people’s attention more than the interviews of hunters who had just come out of a hard raid. To top it all off, this raid was one of the most notable incidents in recent years.

Monsters popped out in the middle of a city. How much damage was done, what was the city like, what type of monster was it, how was it killed...

They had to dig it all up!

“Aren’t those civilians over there as well?”

“What? That’s great! Get those people!” the reporter shouted in excitement. They had clearly been caught up and trapped in the barrier. It didn’t matter if they heard the evacuation order late or heard it and still had the guts to stay. All that mattered was that they were alive.

“Get out of the way, you bastards! Our station comes first!”

“Push him away! Don’t let them take this opportunity away!”

The reporters scrambled for it.

The people who escaped were embarrassed and could only blink in confusion. They then quickly grasped the situation.

“It... It was really scary! Sob sob.”

“All of a sudden, the color of the sky changed. Trees rose up in all directions and grass grew...!”

“I see! How many people died? Is there anyone left inside right now?”

The people who answered the reporters’ burning questions looked serious. They certainly stayed because they wanted to see the raid themselves, but the reporters who asked questions were also quite the bastards.

A battle between proud scumbags!

“No, look! Don’t you know how hard we worked to come out alive... ”

“Ah, let’s just be honest. It wasn’t like you fought.” One of the reporters lowered his voice so that he wouldn’t be caught on air.

The reporters before these civilians were veterans. They?knew everything.

“It looks like you got into this mess because you heard the evacuation order but decided to stay. Why are you acting so serious?”

“Kukuk. That’s right. The hunters did the work. Satisfied now?”

“Answer quickly. Even if you don’t, we can just ask the hunters when they come out.”

The reporters’ questions outraged the scumbags—the citizens.

“This shit... No! These rude bastards!”

“Answer us if you don’t want to be known as the trash who didn’t follow the evacuation order on the news tonight.”

“......”

The reporters were one step ahead. The citizens gritted their teeth in response.

“No one died!”

“I see. Not a single person... What? No one died?”

“Does that make sense? What? How did no one die?”

“Don’t lie. We’ll be able to tell right away when we go in.”

The reporters scolded the citizens, seemingly finding their claim absurd. It was rare for ordinary people trapped in monster-infested areas to come out alive since hunters weren’t obligated to save them in such situations. The law made the hunters prioritize their own lives and the raid, and they followed that law. It didn’t make sense that no one was killed.

The reporters were feeling bewildered while the citizens were delighted. It was thrilling to see these arrogant, rude people so surprised.

“Hunter Choi Yeonseung stepped in and saved me! I’m so sorry about this. What should I do? I don’t have any stories interesting enough...”

“Honey. The reporters are already gone.” contemporary romance

“?!”

The moment they heard Choi Yeonseung’s name, the reporters neatly turned away from the citizens and went to find Choi Yeonseung. It was a very professional attitude.

***

“How is Hunter Choi Yeonseung? Are there any Asians in Black Cactus?”

“He is a hunter who is gaining a lot of attention as a martial artist in the UHC.”

“Ah, that hunter! The Abyss returnee? Hey, I’m going to take photos!”

“A 1st generation hunter and an Abyss returnee, there are many things to tie together!”

The reporters smiled while running. Plausible titles were already running through their minds. The ‘Hero of Nevada’ or ‘Brilliant Return of the 1st Generation Hunter’...

This type of story?had?always been a good one. A hunter’s job wasn’t to save citizens. It was to kill monsters. Yet now there was a hunter who single-handedly saved the scumbags—the citizens!

-In this day and age, such a story is nothing but a breath of fresh air...

-Hunter Choi Yeonseung said this, ‘It is a hunter’s duty to save citizens. I’m not a hero…’

-Thousands of people at the scene are cheering because they are so touched!

Their mouths were already watering when they imagined the content of the interview.

‘Hunter Choi Yeonseung, wait!’

‘I have to get the interview first!’

“?”

Choi Yeonseung turned his head when he?felt killing?intent. A group of reporters was running toward him like ferocious beasts.

“It wasn’t a monster.”

The reporters didn’t hear the words that Choi Yeonseung murmured to himself. They shoved microphones toward him.

“Hunter Choi Yeonseung! I heard about your noble sacrifice. You didn’t abandon the people who were caught in the barrier and saved them!”

“Why did you do that? Tell us what you think!”

‘Are they crazy?’

Choi Yeonseung thought he had been hit with mental magic for a moment. There were people asking him why he saved others!

“That...”

Gulp.

Choi Yeonseung opened his mouth, and the reporters all around him fell silent in unison. It was to pick up every word. Even the hunters of Black Cactus fell silent. To be honest, he was curious about what Choi Yeonseung would say.

“I wasn’t trying to save them.”

“......”

“......”

The reporters were stunned by the words that poured cold water on them. No, he couldn’t do this!

‘This reporter doesn’t know how to broadcast.’

‘He can’t seem to match the mood.’

Right now, reporters were all preparing to make Choi Yeonseung a good hero. However, once the other person said this, the atmosphere was ruined.

“Aha! I?understand, Hunter?Choi Yeonseung. You didn’t mean to save them because that is the most basic thing you have to do as a person! That is what you want to say, right?”

Other people admired the reporter’s skillful remarks.

Hey, you are good!

However, Choi Yeonseung once again threw cold water on it.

“No. I wasn’t trying to save them. They ignored the evacuation order. They are responsible for their own lives.”

“......”

“......”

This time, the people in the back also flinched. If he said it like this...!

“B-But the people over there claimed Hunter Choi Yeonseung saved their lives...!”

One of the reporters raised his voice. Choi Yeonseung’s attitude was that embarrassing.

“I killed the monsters before they killed people, so it likely seemed as if I saved them.”’

“Ah! Then you did save them...”

Bam!

“Cough!”

“No.”

Choi Yeonseung lightly struck the reporter’s neck. The reporter choked and was rendered unable to speak. The other reporters were horrified. Of course, there were quite a few hunters who punched or attacked reporters. However, that was usually when they were attacked by reporters.

-XX Hunter! Is it true that you hit and killed several people while drunk driving?

-I heard the dungeon you went into was actually a lie! Isn’t this a scam to manipulate your ratings?

If they exploded at such a time, then they would punch the reporter! However, Choi Yeonseung just struck first.

No...!
