The Constellations Are My Disciples - Chapter 114
◈ Episode 114. Because it’s annoying, I wipe it out at once. (2)
The large floating magic stone in Abyss Colony, an S-class labyrinth, was not an item that was easily obtained.
This was partly because the American Contractors Association announced that large liquid magic stones could be used as energy, excluding their explosive nature, but the real reason was, of course, that large liquid magic stones were dangerous.
Of course, looking at such a large floating magic stone, some people might think that the large magic stone could be used at a construction site or a group of evildoers could use it for terrorism, but that was definitely impossible.
This was because, if the large floating magic stone was not refined, it would literally cause a large explosion just by touching it with a ‘pop’.
In any case, because of that risk, large floating magic stones were not easy to obtain.
In particular, it was safe to say that there was currently no way to obtain large floating magic stones that had been refined to a practical use under the American Contractors Association.
In the first place, the large, refined floating magic stone hidden deep in the basement of the American Contractors Association was created through the association’s efforts.
Anyway, that’s why Lawrence, the guild leader of the Loteo Guild that manages the S-class labyrinth Abyss Colony and the man who signed a contract with the S-class constellation ‘Blue Hand in the Highlands’, opened his mouth.
“We do not have large liquid magic stones that can be refined and used. And no matter how much you are the owner of the market, you cannot sell such dangerous items carelessly.”
He looked at the Black Cat with determination evident on his face.
The owner of the market appeared in front of him, ignoring all the security inside the guild a while ago, and even ignoring the blocking of the moving magic circle hanging inside the room.
He bowed his head and apologized to Lawrence for being rude as the matter was a bit urgent, and then moved on to the main topic.
It’s about the sale of large floating magic stones.
However, as Lawrence said a moment ago, he had no intention of selling the large floating magic stone.
First, he did not have the large, refined floating magic stone that Black Cat wanted.
Secondly, even if Black Cat wanted a large, unrefined floating magic stone, Lawrence had no intention of selling that dangerous item.
Of course, not selling large floating magic stones because they are dangerous may seem like Lawrence loves peace very much, but in reality, that was not the reason why Lawrence did not sell magic stones.
‘What if I sell it for no reason and use it in strange places?’
No, rather than using it in a strange place, if a mistake were made while moving it, Lawrence would be solely responsible, so he had absolutely no intention of selling the black floating magic stone to Black Cat.
“Hmm.”
When Lawrence looked at the Black Cat with a stern expression, he played with his mask for a while as if he was thinking about something, and then opened his mouth.
“So you’re saying you won’t sell unrefined magic stones?”
“you’re right. Even if I sell it, you won’t be able to take it because the magic stones currently in the labyrinth have not been refined.”
Black Cat continues to worry while remaining silent once again in response to Lawrence.
“….”
How long was the silence like that?
Tuk.
Black Cat let go of the cat mask she was touching a moment ago and began to open her mouth.
“I definitely know what you’re worried about.”
“…What do you mean?”
“The Contractors Association has the technology to refine magic stones, and when a problem arises, you can blame the association. However, if you sell it to me, I may be held responsible if I cause a problem with this magic stone.”
“….”
“So let’s do it this way.”
Sigh –
Black Cat said that, waved her hand in the air, took out a piece of paper and a pen, and then wrote something on it and handed it to Lawrence.
Lawrence accepted it with a blank expression.
“…!!”
Soon, he looked at the amount written on the paper with a surprised expression.
Dreaming. Dreaming.
An amount that does not change even if you close and open your eyes a couple of times.
“I think it would be good if you give me ten generously.”
“This… amount?”
“Of course, this is the magic stone price I suggest.”
Lawrence looked down again at Black Cat’s answer.
‘One ball… two… three… four… five…’
Lawrence counts the number of engraved balls over and over again.
Black Cat, looking at him, still waited for him to speak.
In the end, Lawrence had been counting the numbers written on the paper for a while.
‘Whoa…’
I sighed for a moment.
‘It’s definitely a huge amount of money.’
It wasn’t just a lot of money.
That’s a lot of money!
The money offered by the Black Cat was so enormous that it easily exceeded the amount proposed by the association and even put a bamboo can in the face of Ethan Sidekick.
however.
‘Calm down and think about the future, Lawrence.’
The money offered by the Black Cat swayed Lawrence, but did not change his resolve.
‘That money only comes in once, so you’re looking into the future.’
Lawrence thought about the future.
What if I take that money and hand over the magic stone to Black Cat, and he causes trouble?
He was really tired, and it was obvious that if he had strange feelings and used the magic stone, the blame would fall on him.
Moreover, wanting an unrefined magic stone was no different from saying that the magic stone would be used for destruction, so Lawrence steeled himself and said- “
Me! A person who runs on money-”
“If you sign the contract right now, I will double the amount. Of course, we will prepare all the money in cash.”
“- is correct. “Let’s get ready right away.”
Because it was such a large amount of money, Lawrence had no choice but to accept the offer.
####
A huge building in the center of the market.
“So you don’t have a name?”
To Kim Joo-hyuk’s question, the man wearing the skull mask nodded and answered.
“From the moment we decided to dedicate everything to Lord Tugui, we abandoned our name.”
What about Kim Joo-hyuk in Skull Mask’s words? He made that expression, but then he took one look at the four men and women still prostrating in front of him and spoke.
“So, I just have to name it?”
“If you wish, I will receive your name as you command.”
A skull mask that lowers its head as if it wants to hear anything.
Looking at him like that, Kim Joo-hyuk tilted his head for a moment and thought.
‘How on earth did you raise your children?’
Of course, Kim Joo-hyuk’s disciples followed him well no matter how they looked at it, but it never felt like this.
However, Kim Joo-hyuk had a strange look on his face for a moment because the children Sosim raised as his protectors felt more like they were raised fanatics than like disciples.
Kim Joo-hyuk soon gave up that thought and opened his mouth.
“Then let’s keep it simple. “The skull mask is Jeonhobeop.”
“I will accept it.”
“The guy with the hood is the one who protects me.”
“yes.”
“The skull mask is the way to protect oneself”
“I will accept it.”
“The guy with the hood over his eyes is friendly. From now on, this is what you will call it.”
“All right.”
He seemed to think about something for a moment as he looked at the four guards who lowered their heads as if they were not dissatisfied with Kim Joo-hyuk’s words.
“We are ready.”
Kim Joo-hyuk stopped his thoughts when he heard Black Cat’s voice coming from behind and spoke.
“All?”
“yes. Now all that’s left is for Kim Joo-hyuk to use it wherever he wants.”
Black Cat’s report.
“Then let’s get started right away.”
Kim Joo-hyuk smiled at that.
####
“Oh, it’s annoying. Can’t I just go out and destroy them all?”
“So how long do I have to wait for this?”
“Now I’m starting to get frustrated, so I’m going to break it anyway, so I can just have fun and have fun. Why on earth are you dragging your feet like this?”
Tiara’s hideout is a gathering place for constellations.
Currently there, the constellations who were tired of waiting were opening their mouths one by one.
Heukrok was in the process of appeasing the constellations who were slowly growing dissatisfied.
From Heuknok’s perspective, the constellations should not have run rampant yet.
For your own plans.
That’s why he desperately tried to appease the constellations he had gathered.
Just a little while ago, Heukrok was sighing in relief at relieving the constellations’ growing dissatisfaction to some extent and thinking about the future.
Phew!
“Gagging…!”
Until a hole was pierced in the heart of the ‘Keykeeper’, one of the Constellations who had raised his voice on the side of the dissatisfied Constellations.
“!?”
It happened in an instant.
The moment Heukrok woke up with his mouth open without realizing it, the silent sword that had penetrated the key keeper’s heart was instantly thrown upwards and cut his body in half.
“First, kill the most annoying bastard.”
A man appeared with him.
A man holding a dark-colored sword in his left hand.
Rather than running towards the man, the constellations began to look at him and become nervous.
That’s because the man in front of them infiltrated this place before anyone noticed and killed the same constellation as them in one fell swoop.
The constellations began to tense up as if time had stopped, even though they did not disperse much magical power.
“Who is your guy…!”
As the silence continued, Kim Joo-hyuk, the man holding the silent sword, heard Heukrok’s question, smiled softly, looked at Heukrok and the blue mackerel next to him, and asked.
“Who do you think I am?”
Rather, Kim Joo-hyuk asks a question.
Cheongahwi frowned at that, and Heukrok frowned as well, seemed to be thinking about something, and muttered.
“…Did you kill the Black and White Twin Demon?”
“no way?”
“No…?”
“No, not just those guys, I also killed Hong Gui and Hwacha myself?”
Kim Joo-hyuk answers with a confident smile.
In response, Heukrok realized that Kim Joo-hyuk, who was standing in front of him, was not ordinary.
In the first place, if he had been an ordinary contractor like Heukrok thought, it would have been difficult to kill the constellation, but he probably would not have come to their hideout like this.
‘Besides’,
even if his basic physical ability was weaker than that of other ordinary constellations, he wouldn’t have been able to kill the key keeper like that.
Plus, the most important thing is.
‘…You know the keykeeper’s abilities?’
Kim Joo-hyuk clearly said that while killing the key keeper.
As the saying goes, ‘First kill the most annoying bastard.’
“What is your identity?”
Heukrok frowned and asked that question.
Kim Joo-hyuk smiled and said,
“Well, you want to know my identity, so I have to tell you.”
-Started to radiate magical power.
Rather than flowing out naturally, it spread magical power around the surroundings as if scattering it.
That moment.
“!!!”
The constellations all froze as soon as they felt the magical energy emanating from Kim Joo-hyuk.
They knew very well the magic power flowing from Kim Joo-hyuk.
“Fuck…fuck…!”
That’s right too.
“Everyone-”
The magic power flowing out of Kim Joo-hyuk now is that of the god of war who took their lives 300 years ago.
so that.
“-Escape!!!”
Even though the constellations realized that they were not going to die, they heard a voice filled with fear coming from someone.
“Bounce…bounce!”
“Jump!!”
Everyone started running away from Kim Joo-hyuk.
