The Constellations Are My Disciples - Chapter 123
◈ Episode 123. Goal (3)
“Ah…”
Yanrang let out a strange exclamation and looked around.
The place she thought was a snowy field for a moment was actually the island she came to with Kim Joo-hyuk.
However, there is something a little different from before.
‘Snow-‘
The place that clearly looked like a tropical island was suddenly covered with snow.
“ah.”
As soon as he realized that fact, Yan Lang let out another sigh.
This is also because the snow-covered island softly illuminated by the blue moonlight was so beautiful.
It was also because the chaotically twisted magical power on that snow-covered island was now moving so precisely that even Yan Lang could not recognize it.
More than anything.
It was because Kim Joo-hyuk, standing in front of him, was the one who created this snow-covered island.
Yan Lang looked at Kim Joo-hyuk’s back blankly.
The back of Kim Joo-hyuk, who created this incredible scene.
at that time.
“…!”
Kim Joo-hyuk slowly turned his head and looked at Yan Lang.
Nothing was said.
Kim Joo-hyuk just looked at Yan Lang once and then turned his head again.
However, even though Kim Joo-hyuk did not say anything, Yan Lang realized his intention.
Concentrate.
Although Yan Lang clearly did not open his mouth, his intention was fully guessed, so he soon closed his mouth that had let out an exclamation and began to focus on Kim Joo-hyuk again.
Within.
Damn it!
As the magic power floating in the air moved, the snow-covered snowfield began to freeze coldly.
Ice pillars appeared and disappeared everywhere.
The ground they are standing on changes in an instant.
“!!”
And just from that alone, Yan Lang felt how great the skill that Kim Joo-hyuk was currently showing was.
What Kim Joo-hyuk is currently showing is a technique that, if used properly, will give him an overwhelming advantage in the fight.
‘If only I could control the terrain like that…!’
Basically, battles were bound to take place in multiple places.
Among these various situations, there could be situations where Yan Lang had an advantage, or conversely, there could be situations where she would have to continue the fight in a situation where she was extremely disadvantaged.
But what if you could use that technology naturally?
Wow!
Yan Lang felt goosebumps all over his body as he saw a huge ice pillar appear in front of Kim Joo-hyuk and sharp ice picks sticking out in all directions.
It occurred to me that if she were able to use that ability naturally, she could become several times stronger than she is now.
How much time has passed like that?
Damn it!
Suddenly, the ice that Kim Joo-hyuk was handling began to crack with a crackling sound.
The snow that had frozen along with it also cracked with a crackling sound.
Kwachang-!
Everything that had been frozen shattered in an instant.
Ice cubes scattered on the island along with it.
The ice sculptures falling with the soft moonlight looked as beautiful as moonlight, so Yan Lang stared blankly at the falling ice cubes again.
After that, I looked at Kim Joo-hyuk.
Do you understand now? Kim Joo-hyuk is looking at himself with a smile.
“under.”
At this, Yan Lang smiled as if it was absurd without realizing it.
I have known very well for a long time that Kim Joo-hyuk is strong.
In fact, he had been feeling for a long time that he would not be able to catch up with Kim Joo-hyuk.
However, to be honest, after signing with Constellation this time, Yan Lang thought that he might be able to compare himself a little with Kim Joo-hyuk.
There was a huge difference in abilities between myself before contracting with the Constellation and myself after contracting with the Constellation.
However, that did not mean that Yan Lang could be even remotely equal to Kim Joo-hyuk.
It was so absurd that if Kim Joo-hyuk had heard of it, he would have laughed at it.
‘I thought I definitely followed a little further.’
Kim Joo-hyuk was strong.
More than you thought.
Or perhaps Kim Joo-hyuk was strong enough to surpass the critical point he was currently thinking of.
so that.
“….”
Yan Lang felt a sense of awe towards Kim Joo-hyuk.
however.
“Is this my goal?”
“okay.”
No matter how much awe he had, Yan Lang never thought about changing his goal.
“Are you going to teach me this technique?”
“Well… what should I do?”
Kim Joo-hyuk smiles and talks as if he’s joking.
Looking at Kim Joo-hyuk like that, Yan Lang realized that a strong desire was rising.
“….”
At first, Yan Lang was trained under Kim Joo-hyuk to beat him.
But not anymore.
Now she.
‘I want to stand side by side.’
I wanted to stand next to Kim Joo-hyuk.
so that.
“let me know.”
Yan Lang opened his mouth.

A week later.
Arin Choi: (Emoji of a cute rabbit saying ‘Hello!’)
Arin Choi: (Emoji of a cute rabbit saying ‘Hello!’)
Arin Choi: (Emoji of a cute rabbit saying ‘Hello!’)
Joo-Hyuk Kim: ㅇ?
Arin Choi: (Emoticon of a cute rabbit saying, ‘Gasp!’ in surprise)
Arin Choi: (Emoji of a cute rabbit saying, ‘Gasp!’ in surprise)
Arin Choi: I’ll go to the training room again starting tomorrow.
Kim Joo-hyuk: Hmm. Then we can start tomorrow.
Arin Choi: (Emoji of a cute rabbit tilting its head)
Arin Choi: Okay.
Choi A-rin’s answer.
Kim Joo-hyuk looked at the message with a new look on his face and typed a reply.
Kim Joo-hyuk: Do you know what you are doing?
Choi A-rin: ㅇㅇ
Kim Joo-hyuk: Did you hear the story from Yan Lang?
Arin Choi: No.
Kim Joo-hyuk: But how do you know what I’m going to do?
Choi A-rin: Joo-hyuk ordered it.
Kim Joo-hyuk: So how do you know the contents?
Choi A-rin: You don’t know the content?
Kim Joo-hyuk: ??????
Choi A-rin: Joo-hyuk ordered it.
Kim Joo-hyuk: But?
Choi A-rin: That’s enough.
“Ah…”
Kim Joo-hyuk made a blank expression at Choi Arin’s answer, but once again realizing that she was a bit strange, he immediately gave a short reply, ‘ㅇㅋ’.
Soon, Kim Joo-hyuk saw the emoticon of a cute rabbit shaking its body for no reason and put his smartphone in his pocket.
[Are we going now?]
Kim Joo-hyuk nodded to Barce’s question as soon as he put the smartphone in his pocket.
‘The full moon has risen, so now I have to do as I’m told.’
Kim Joo-hyuk muttered that and looked up at the sky.
Kim Joo-hyuk glanced at the full moon floating there and quickly used his storage skills to collect all four artifacts.
“I think you can move slowly now.”
At the sound of Black Cat’s voice coming from behind, Kim Joo-hyuk turned and nodded.
“So, are everything ready?”
Kim Joo-hyuk’s question.
Black Cat nodded to him.
“Yes, as I said last time, the wall of space, which is an S-class labyrinth, is located on an uninhabited island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, so there is no owner, so you can enter it right away without any special restrictions.”
“It’s a bit interesting.”
“Which side…?”
“If you look at it, everyone is saying that they own the dungeon and the labyrinth, but they are dividing the land like children, and that’s because they didn’t touch it.”
Kim Joo-hyuk’s words.
Black Cat thought for a moment and answered.
“Probably, the walls of space are neglected because they are located and, above all, are much more troublesome to manage than the benefits they can be gained. It’s not even the type of dungeon or labyrinth that causes rampage like other labyrinths or dungeons…”
“Really?”
In response to Kim Joo-hyuk’s question, Black Cat immediately nodded, then immediately created a black space behind her and opened her mouth.
“If you enter here, you will be able to go straight to the entrance of the wall of space.”
Black Cat says.
Kim Joo-hyuk nodded and walked towards the black space.
“oh.”
As soon as Kim Joo-hyuk crossed the black space, he was able to see an entrance that looked very strange even at first glance.
Kim Joo-hyuk looked at the entrance with a cross-section that did not seem to be the entrance to a labyrinth. He checked the appearance of the entrance for a moment and said,
“Okay, then, let’s get started.”
Kim Joo-hyuk took out the ‘Glass of the Unforgettable’ and ‘Water from the River of No Return’ among the four artifacts he brought, and immediately walked into the labyrinth, recalling Black Cat’s words.
‘First of all, based on the information I researched, the walls of the space are said to be a space without monsters or traps, except for severe motion sickness upon entering.’
‘However, it is said that this is a place where you have to be very careful because motion sickness is so severe that you cannot stay conscious if you stay there for more than a minute.’
“…motion sickness. “It’s definitely a bit like that.”
Certainly, as soon as Kim Joo-hyuk took a step and entered the inside of the labyrinth, he began to feel extreme motion sickness to the point of dizzyness.
It feels like the world has become a cube and is spinning in all directions.
However, Kim Joo-hyuk was not embarrassed.
In the first place, he had already learned about the walls of space from the guide.
That’s why he also knew how to quell this surge of motion sickness.
Pong-!
As soon as Kim Joo-hyuk entered the labyrinth, he immediately opened the lid of the water from the River of No Return that he was holding and immediately poured its contents into the glass of the Unforgettable.
gulp.
I immediately one-shotted it.
and.
“It’s definitely effective.”
As soon as Kim Joo-hyuk drank the water from the river of no return, the symptoms of dizziness and motion sickness that had been rising just a moment ago disappeared completely.
With that, Kim Joo-hyuk began to walk into the dark labyrinth where nothing was visible.
How much did it cost?
Kim Joo-hyuk suddenly realized that he had entered a completely black space where even the light from the entrance did not enter, and he stopped in his tracks.
What you see is darkness.
There wasn’t a single thing to be heard.
How dazed I must have been standing in the middle of such pitch-black darkness.
This time, Kim Joo-hyuk took out one of the artifacts he brought, the ‘Hammer that mediates everything.’
“Huh-”
After sighing loudly.
“Sigh!”
He used all his strength and hit the ground with all his might in the darkness where nothing could be seen.
Wow!
A tremendous sound, as if an explosion of alcohol had erupted.
However, Kim Joo-hyuk did not stop at that and hit the ground once more.
When Kim Joo-hyuk hit the ground for the third time.
Uzijijijik!
The ground, which had been quiet until now, began to shake little by little, making crackling noises.
And right after that.
Kwagagagagagagak-!!!
The ground on which Kim Joo-hyuk was standing began to collapse, and a huge light began to rise from the ground.
Kwahiah Ah Ah ────── !!!
Soon, the ground on which Kim Joo-hyuk was standing was completely shattered, and at the same time, Kim Joo-hyuk naturally began to fall towards the basement, but he smiled on his face rather than being embarrassed.
That too.
“found.”
Kim Joo-hyuk had confirmed that there was a huge door he was looking for in the basement of the collapsed ground.
