The Celestial Returned From Hell - Chapter 82

Chapter 82

“Odaigon.”

“Ah. Master has come!”

Choi Yeonseung’s presence amazed Odaigon. In the Abyss and in his own realm, Choi Yeonseung didn’t have to suppress and hide his power as he did on Earth. Hence, Choi Yeonseung appeared as a constellation! Overwhelming power of existence flowed out of him even if he just stood still. Like a well-forged sword, the power of his existence, which had been perfected, was dazzlingly beautiful.

“Being in the Abyss is definitely comfortable.”

Earth was his hometown, but he was more comfortable in the Abyss. It couldn’t be helped, though. After all, he was a constellation. On Earth, he had to hide his power of existence and the true stage of his martial arts due to the eyes of other constellations.

[The ‘Cat of Lava and Magma’ says that’s only natural for a constellation.]

‘I still think of myself as a human being…’

[The ‘Cat of Lava and Magma’ laughs.]

‘This is no laughing matter.’

Choi Yeonseung looked around. The Blood Fortress used to be evil and grotesque, much like its previous master. It had a river of blood, and an aura of madness lingered over it, driving those who lived here crazy about fighting! Hence, the orcs here were understandably running amok and hungered for blood. Even peace-loving people would change if they lived in a place like this.

“What are you doing, Odaigon?”

“I was teaching magic to make the orcs here normal.”

The ‘Warrior Stained with Madness and Blood’ bestowed evil skills to his minions. ‘Blood Burst’, ‘Vision of Madness’, ‘Power of Boiling Blood’…

The skills were powerful, but they had severe side effects. They drank blood, lost their sanity, and became infected with madness.

Odaigon was trying to discourage these skills and teach the orcs the traditional, fundamental, and purely authentic goblin magic!

“Now, orcs. Copy me. Summon magic power…”

“How do you summon magic power?”

“What is magic power?”

“What does it mean to summon?”

“… How have you been using your skills so far, you bastards?”

Odaigon was angry. They were pretending not to know anything!

“Master gave me strength for as long as I believed in him.”

“……”

The Warrior Stained with Madness and Blood’s minions didn’t learn magic. They just believed and fought hard, so they became stronger and stronger.

“Isn’t that goblin bastard’s temper too violent?”

“He has no culture whatsoever. He’s really vulgar.”

The orcs whispered and cursed at Odaigon. Odaigon trembled.

“It’s fine, Odaigon. From what I can see, teaching them magic won’t do much good. I’ll just teach them martial arts.”

Choi Yeonseung looked at the orcs. There were many of them.

“Do you like axes?”

“It is familiar so we use it often.”

“Okay. I’ll teach you how to use an axe, then.”

Choi Yeonseung’s martial arts were at the stage where he could create a new martial art by closing his eyes and taking a breath. The problem was the type of martial art he should make.

‘They won’t be able to follow if I teach them complicated martial arts.’

Orcs couldn’t learn any martial art that was too difficult. The forms had to be simple, easy to learn, and contain the secrets of ‘strength’ and ‘force’ to match the power of the orcs…

[You have succeeded in making the C+ rank martial arts skill ‘Green Dragon Axe Technique!]

[The power of your existence has risen.]

It shouldn’t be underestimated just because it was a C+ rank skill. Choi Yeonseung made it simple for the orcs, but its rank could rise depending on how this skill was studied and developed. Even the Origin of the Celestial Divine Arts, which wasn’t anything special in the beginning, eventually reached S-rank as Choi Yeonseung wandered through the Abyss.

“This should be easy to learn, right?”

[You have failed to teach the ‘Green Dragon Axe Techniqueskill.]

[The orcs don’t understand it!]

“……”

However, the orcs were far more ignorant than Choi Yeonseung expected.

“No, it’s already tailored according to your capabilities! Why can’t you do it?”

“Words are too complicated.”

“Does the Green Dragon Axe Technique’s ‘Destruction Dragon Stance’ mean jumping sideways or backward?”

“Should I swing the axe from the left?”

Choi Yeonseung sighed.

“It can’t be helped.”

“Ohh. I guess he’s going to make it easier.”

“The new master is kind, isn’t he?”

The orcs murmured. The Warrior Stained with Madness and Blood was violent and fierce. He always sent the orcs into battle. He would even send them to other areas of the Abyss whenever he was bored just so he could watch them fight. The orcs were forced to obey their strong master, but not without complaints.

On the other hand, their new master, the Undefeated Incarnation of Training was very generous. The Warrior Stained with Madness and Blood would’ve already killed for failing to learn how to use magic, then he would’ve killed them again when they couldn’t learn martial arts! Most constellations had insanely tough personalities. Hence, Choi Yeonseung had one of the best personalities among them.

But it was just an illusion.

“If you can’t understand it through words, then just learn about it through actions.”

Bam!

Choi Yeonseung grabbed a nearby orc and immediately struck him with a hand. The orc flew back while coughing.

[You have used your power of existence.]

[The orc’s injuries have been healed!]

“Ahh. Having my own realm is really great.”

Each constellation was like a god, but they wielded even greater power in their realm. In it, they could kill and revive their minions or slice apart the earth and sky with their fingers.

[It matches the name of the ‘Undefeated Incarnation of Training.’]

[Your power of existence has been amplified!]

In theory, constellations could exert infinite abilities through their power of existence. However, not everything was possible. Everyone had something they were good at. Constellations such as the ‘Blind Monster of Destruction’ were naturally bad at things like creation or production. Likewise, Undefeated Incarnation of Training Choi Yeonseung could use his power of existence far more skillfully than other constellations regarding training.

Even after being beaten and smashed, the orcs were instantly resurrected due to his power of existence.

Why? Because it was training!

The orcs would’ve normally collapsed due to exhaustion, but with his power of existence, they never fell.

Why? Because it was training!

Choi Yeonseung went on a wild rampage against dozens of orcs. The strange method of moving quickly and engraving the martial art deep into their bones!

“The attack I’m executing right now can be blocked by one of the Green Dragon Axe Technique’s movements. Don’t try to avoid it. Learn the movement and use it! Feel it.”

“Keok, cough, kek, just, if you, leave us, no…”

The orcs had strong fighting spirits, but they couldn’t help tearfully praying. Couldn’t they just be slaves?

However, Choi Yeonseung didn’t give up on the orcs. “I believe in you!”

“Kuack, crazy, master, meeting you, hardship, kuaaack, kuaack.”

If he broke their arms, he’d reattach them. If he broke their heads, he’d restore them…

There was no constellation that cared for a single minion like this. The peak of kindness!

[The ‘Cat of Lava and Magma’ is moved by your kindness!]

[The ‘Manipulator of Dreams and Desires’ is shocked by the training method.]

How many times were they beaten?

An orc struggled desperately and swung his axe.

[You have succeeded in learning the skill ‘Green Dragon Axe Technique’!]

[The orc ‘Garagoncha’ has succeeded in learning the skill ‘Green Dragon Axe Technique!]

[The power of your existence has risen!]

“Oh. Garagoncha. How wonderful.”

“T-Thank you. Thank you.”

Garagoncha didn’t know whether to be happy that he was praised by the great constellation or to be glad that he could stop now. In any case, he was so happy that he was about to cry!

“Kuock. Garagoncha. This jerk…”

“That’s dirty, but…”

“Don’t you have even the slightest sense of loyalty as an orc?”

“Master!”

The orcs spoke in harmony, puzzling Choi Yeonseung.

“What is it? Don’t tell me to stop or else I’ll double the intensity.”

“That’s not it. Wouldn’t Garagoncha feel lonely since he’s the only one that’s not training? I’m sorry to ask this of Master when we can’t even thank you enough for what you’re giving us, but…”

“That’s right! We’re from the same tribe. We can’t let Garagoncha be alone!”

Odaigon was impressed as he watched from the side. The orcs weren’t stupid. If necessary, their intelligence would develop.

“Okay. Garagoncha. I will make the Green Dragon Axe Technique a bit more complicated.”

Bam bam bam bam!

“Cough… These sons of…”

Garagoncha resented the other orcs as he was beaten again. Once he finished this training, he would destroy the other orcs with his new skill!

***

-You’re a very rare constellation.

-I’m getting tired of hearing that so much… What is it this time?

-Nothing. There are just no constellations who’d teach their minions as you do.

The Manipulator of Dreams and Desires truly admired Choi Yeonseung’s behavior. The mortal constellation, Choi Yeonseung, was different from other constellations. It felt like she could learn a lot from watching him.

This was the point! The other constellations didn’t train their minions this hard. They forcibly dominated thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of beings before selecting useful ones from among them. They didn’t even put that much effort into the household members.

The constellations were transcendent beings born of nothing. They were instinctively arrogant and berserk. For most constellations, their minions were like ants! They saw their household members as those who kneeled down and served them, not beings they should take care of.

However, Choi Yeonseung took care of and trained each and every one of his minions. Upon seeing this, the Manipulator of Dreams and Desires thought, ‘Why didn’t I do this?’

-Umm. It isn’t going well.

Choi Yeonseung groaned. What he was doing wasn’t going well. Right now, Choi Yeonseung was trying to use his power of existence to change the Blood Fortress into something new.

[You’re using your power of existence to plow the ground!]

Choi Yeonseung strongly imagined covering up the river of blood and returning the sinister and madness-infested red land to its original state. It worked to some extent. The ominous river of blood disappeared, and the land returned to normal.

What happened next was the problem. Choi Yeonseung wanted to fill the area with some cool buildings like the Goddess of Balance Who Walks Ahead’s realm. The Manipulator of Dreams and Desires also had a beautiful realm. A well-decorated realm gave strength to the constellation. It wasn’t something to look down on. However…

“I failed again.”

-What are you trying to make?

-A training ground.

-…Why not make the training ground a bit smaller?

Choi Yeonseung tried to tear off all the materials of the fortress to make a new training ground—a huge Colosseum-style one! However, in the Manipulator of Dreams and Desires’ eyes, he was like a child trying to fly even though he couldn’t even walk yet. It was too large and complicated for Choi Yeonseung, who had little experience using his power of existence to create buildings. Moreover, his constellation name had little to do with architecture.

-But if I make it smaller, it will be less effective.

-… That’s true, but I don’t think it will be that easy for you. Why don’t you bring in races that excel in architecture? Dwarves and elves have a talent for architecture.

-Not orcs?

-Um the orcs… They can’t build according to the type of architecture you have in mind.

-Damn. Do I have to walk around and do constellation battles to bring other races here?

-That probably won’t work. This place is full of constellations.

This area was different from the outskirts of the Abyss where Choi Yeonseung had been roaming. It wasn’t merely close to Earth. It was also a hot spot full of constellations! The other constellations would’ve already taken the useful constellations.

-If you don’t like it, why don’t you use the constellation store?

-……!

The Manipulator of Dreams and Desires’ advice shocked Choi Yeonseung.

That was right! There was a store!
