The Constellations Are My Disciples - Chapter 151
◈ Episode 151. It all took (4)
Anger.
sadness.
pain.
unrest.
deception.
The five constellations had a plan to gather their contractors in a secret bunker on the outskirts of Philadelphia and manifest them.
In fact, the five constellations even succeeded in gathering their contractors in an underground bunker and actually manifesting them.
However, there is one problem in the process.
“Are you here now?”
At the moment when the five constellations appeared, a man came as if he had been waiting for them in that small secret bunker that no one but the five of them could know about.
And that one man.
“…A martial god?”
The five constellations couldn’t help but frown without realizing it.
“Are you sure? “I think they are all the ones I killed. It’s nice to see you after a long time?”
However, even though the expressions of the constellations were crumpled, Kim Joo-hyuk naturally opened his mouth as if he did not really care.
“How did you know about this place?”
When Ki-man asked with a frown, Kim Joo-hyuk answered without wiping a smile from his face.
“There’s a way to know everything.”
“….”
The constellations remain silent at Kim Joo-hyuk’s words.
Apparently, in order to avoid encountering the god of war, he called the contractors here and appeared, but they were caught so quickly that their faces were crumpled.
“Maybe it’s because he’s a military god, but he doesn’t let us go easily.”
Among them, Ki-gi, who had been looking at Kim Joo-hyuk the whole time, spoke to him in a humorous voice.
“Of course. Do you think I’ll just let you go knowing what will happen if I let you go?”
Kim Joo-hyuk answers that question.
However, Deception still did not erase his smile and began to notice the other masks.
“!”
They soon realized the meaning of deception.
Wow, that’s great-!!!
Soon, each person began to increase their magic power.
They are raising their magic as if they are going to fight Kim Joo-hyuk at any moment.
“What are you saying, let’s push it with numbers?”
In response to Kim Joo-hyuk’s question, Ki-gi still spoke in a smiling voice.
“Actually, we would like to do that, but we are very cautious.”
“Then what are you going to do?”
“I have to run away.”
“escape? From me?”
Kim Joo-hyuk’s question.
But Gigi still spoke with a smile.
“Do you really think we won’t be able to escape? You would know, right? “Our abilities.”
“….”
Just as Giman, one of the five masks, said, Kim Joo-hyuk was well aware of the abilities of the five masks gathered there and radiating magical power.
‘Actually, when taken separately, it’s an ability that doesn’t really matter.’
The abilities of the five masks were abilities possessed by each individual and were not particularly special.
In fact, when Kim Joo-hyuk killed the five masks, he never thought that their abilities were particularly annoying.
However, that was only talking about their individual abilities, and the abilities they used when all five masks were together were extremely annoying.
‘Gisaeng are annoying.’
parasitism.
To be more precise, the ability called ‘assimilation’ in the language of the Five Masks was an incredibly annoying ability from Kim Joo-hyuk’s perspective.
That’s because the ability was literally to assimilate the five masks over there into humans with emotions and control those creatures.
‘Of course, if you have enough magical power, you can resist.’
Because it was almost impossible to resist when magic power was weak or absent, Kim Joo-hyuk sometimes felt a little annoyed when dealing with the Five Masks in the Tower of Destruction.
‘Because they kept changing into the bodies of other monsters, I was only able to catch them after killing all the monsters on the third floor.’
Kim Joo-hyuk clicked his tongue as if remembering that time.
Ki-gi smiled as he looked at that scene.
It seemed as if Musin realized that he could not stop them from escaping and gave up trying to stop them.
“Hehehe, then I’ll see you next time.”
Therefore, Gigi smiled and used Assimilation, an ability that can only be used when the five masks come together.
“…?”
Soon, the other masks, including Gigi, realized that something was strange.
The moment their original ability, assimilation, is used, they change into ’emotions’ and enter the body of another human being.
but now?
‘Why don’t you go in?’
The five masks looked at each other with puzzled expressions.
Obviously, they used their abilities, but it was because the abilities were not used.
That’s why the constellations look at each other with puzzled expressions.
However.
“Have you done everything you need to do now?”
At the sound of a voice coming soon, they turned their attention to Kim Joo-hyuk once again.
“I knew you were coming here, so why would I have allowed you to use that parasite-like ability? huh?”
“…no way!”
“why? You didn’t think I didn’t know, did you? “Your technology may be broad, but it has a range.”
Kim Joo-hyuk had previously dealt with five masks in the 3rd tier, and had noticed that they had a certain range in order to use ‘Fairy Tale’.
In addition, Kim Joo-hyuk had already heard from Barce about the abilities of the five masks in more detail than he originally knew.
And thanks to the measures taken by Kim Joo-hyuk after receiving such detailed information, there is currently no human being other than Kim Joo-hyuk within a 3km radius of where this underground bunker is located.
Kim Joo-hyuk watched as the expressions of the five constellations crumpled mercilessly as they realized this.
“Okay then, let’s finish quickly.”
With those words, he pulled out his sword.
####
A district outside Philadelphia.
[THE ONE, as you said, we first completely evacuated all civilians in the area.]
THE ONE, Logan opened his mouth to the voice coming from the smartphone.
“Well done.”
[Well, I just did what I had to do. But… is it really true that a constellation appeared near the outskirts of Philadelphia?]
“That’s right.”
[In that case, it is right to evacuate the civilians, but wouldn’t it be better to deploy the contractors first?]
“You don’t have to worry about that. “The Constellation is already being processed.”
[…What?]
“I can’t tell you the details, but the Constellation is already being processed. So you don’t need to worry too much.”
Logan’s firm words.
The newly elected chairman of the contractor’s association was silent for a moment as if he was about to say something, but then spoke with a small sigh.
[Yes, I have to believe you when you say it.]
“Thank you.”
[No, what can I do because I don’t trust you, THE ONE of the current contractor?]
“Then, the closure order for the designated area until I contact you-”
[I will absolutely maintain it.]
“Thank you.”
In addition, Logan, who was chatting with the newly appointed president of the association and exchanging greetings, soon hung up his smartphone and sighed lightly.
‘…I was a little embarrassed because it was so sudden.’
Logan received such a request from Kim Joo-hyuk, who contacted him about two hours ago while he was resting tired at home.
Since the constellations will be descending on the outskirts of Philadelphia, I ask you to absolutely not allow anyone, contractor or human, to enter the 3km radius.
Of course, when Logan heard that, he immediately linked up with the contractor association and evacuated all personnel within a 3km radius in that short period of time.
I was planning to faithfully follow Kim Joo-hyuk’s words to never lift the lockdown order until I received a call.
‘If Kim Joo-hyuk is saying such things, there must be a reason.’
Since Logan knew Kim Joo-hyuk’s identity, he thought that there must be a reason for what he said, so he soon.
“Huh,”
he took out a pair of sunglasses from his arms and put them on his face.
Of course, Logan didn’t wear those sunglasses because he suddenly wanted to look cool.
The reason he wore sunglasses to such an extent was because the sunglasses he was currently wearing were an artifact.
It is also an artifact that possesses the ability called ‘Cheonri’, which shows distant distances closer.
The reason why Logan wore those sunglasses was, of course, to see Kim Joo-hyuk.
No, to be more precise, it was to see Kim Joo-hyuk’s fight scene.
Kim Joo-hyuk told Logan that at least five constellations would appear there.
‘Actually, I just want to see it with my own eyes.’
Obviously, Kim Joo-hyuk said that no one should enter the 3km area of the counterattack, so he suppressed his regret and used Cheonri towards the area that Kim Joo-hyuk had mentioned earlier.
“!”
The moment he used Cheonri, Logan was able to see the fight begin with really good timing.
The moment his vision shifted, the first thing he saw was men wearing masks that looked like five constellations flying up as the ground exploded.
Logan, thinking that a full-scale fight was about to begin, used magical power to increase his eyesight to the maximum.
Because Logan didn’t want to miss the fight that Kim Joo-hyuk showed from now on.
however.
“…uh?”
Logan couldn’t help but make a dazed noise without realizing it.
Clearly the situation has not changed.
Five constellations soaring into the sky are visible, and Kim Joo-hyuk immediately pops out underneath them.
However, Kim Joo-hyuk did not specifically attack the constellations.
‘Is it possible that even though you have increased your eyesight, you didn’t see the moment when you swung the sword?’
For a moment, such a thought passed through Logan’s mind.
But in a situation that happened a little later.
“Ah…”
Logan couldn’t help but let out a low exclamation without realizing it.
‘He was already dead.’
Logan looked at the constellations falling to the ground.
To be more precise, everyone was staring blankly at the five bodies falling to the ground with their throats cut, and
Kim Joo-hyuk was falling along with the corpses with a light smile on his face.
Logan thought as he looked at that.
‘…Did they kill all five constellations at once?’
Of course, he couldn’t see the battle scene.
However, looking at the circumstances when the five corpses were rising, the five constellations were killed by Kim Joo-hyuk at almost the same time.
“Ha…”
That’s why Logan laughed without realizing it.
Of course, I already knew that the difference between Kim Joo-hyuk and myself was ridiculously large.
But even so, Logan was thinking about it.
If I run after that back someday, wouldn’t I be able to get at least a little closer to it? Same thought.
But
‘…I haven’t even taken a step yet.’
Logan couldn’t help but laugh as he realized again that he hadn’t even taken a proper step yet.
and.
Exactly one week later, Kim Joo-hyuk completely wiped out the five masks and the manifestation of the constellations came to a complete end once again.
“…What are these again?”
“It’s called a gift.”
“gift? who?”
“It’s a gift from a group called ‘Knights’ or ‘Kingdom’.”
Kim Joo-hyuk looked at the mountain of gifts piled up in front of the training room with Black Cat and made a bewildered expression.
