The Constellations Are My Disciples - Chapter 159
◈ Episode 159. (1)
Although the power of the body was handed over to the master behind it, the Black Cat was clearly watching this battle with its own two eyes and five senses.
The reason was to see how the master behind the scenes uses his body, just like Adelia Ventrick.
Until a moment ago, Black Cat focused as much as possible on her body being moved by the ruler behind her.
Because he instinctively realized it.
Everything that comes out at this moment is very helpful in taking yourself to the next level.
however.
‘What is that…?’
Black Cat’s concentration was momentarily broken at this moment.
The reason is not because of the long line that is gathering magic power that is full of murderous intent to the point of ignorance.
Likewise, it was not because I had seen an abnormal phenomenon in which everything near where the jog line was standing was seriously withered.
The reason why Black Cat’s concentration was momentarily broken.
That’s right.
‘Golden… flower?’
It was because of a flower that bloomed in front of Adelia Bentrick.
A golden flower bloomed with golden light in this area that was momentarily dark due to black magic.
That was enough to break Black Cat’s concentration for an instant.
What happened after that.
“!!”
It was enough to scare Black Cat.
A solo dance began to flow from the golden flower.
“Huh!?”
Because it gave Jang Seon a clear ideal.
The magical power that had been gathering around the joist like a whirlpool stopped in an instant.
At the same time, Jang Seon’s eyes widen and blood begins to flow out of his mouth.
“Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!?”
At the same time, Jang Seon’s body begins to twist strangely.
His arms bend in strange directions that cannot be bent, as if he is not in control of his own body.
Jang Seon became close to being incapable of fighting in a matter of seconds.
Black Cat was staring blankly at that scene.
‘!’
The ruler behind the scenes knew that his moving body was using space charm.
Tsk!
“Ah…”
Soon, the ruler behind the scenes realized that the space charm he had used using his own body had merely scratched the leather of Jang Seon’s back, and he let out a low exclamation without realizing it.
The emotion behind that low exclamation is disappointment.
But Black Cat understood.
No, I had no choice but to know beyond understanding.
In the first place, the master behind the constellation was not using his own power, but was only using the power of the Black Cat.
Hoping for more than this is called greed.
Black Cat tried to console herself.
[You are weak.]
Soon, Black Cat could hear the voice of the ruler behind him.
[It’s not just weak, if I put it bluntly, it’s really weak.]
A cold voice addressed to the Black Cat.
However, Black Cat simply accepted the story calmly, as if she had no intention of running away from the words of the ruler behind the scenes.
Because Black Cat knew.
Only by overcoming this can you move forward a little further.
Therefore, Black Cat made his own determination and tried to listen to the words of the ruler behind the scenes.
[But maybe even you can use this properly now.]
“…!”
[Watch carefully.]
Black Cat widened her eyes at the words of the ruler behind her, threw away the oath she had made a moment ago somewhere in the distance, and focused on her own body.
The mastermind behind the scenes begins to take action with him.
Black Cat’s body poses.
Holding it is a typical stance of a swordsman.
Pull your upper body forward.
The lower body acts as a support to support the upper body.
Place the hand holding the sword sheath at your waist.
The right hand to hold the sword holds the handle.
It is a typical space pose.
Therefore, Black Cat was able to realize that the ruler behind the scenes was using a space charm.
Soon, the ruler behind the scenes said right away, as if there was no need to say anything more
!
It was launched.
And just like before, it only made a very thin scratch in the leather of the catgut’s back.
The situation is no different from before.
When Black Cat felt a little strange.
Tsk-!
The ruler behind the scenes struck once more.
Tsk-!
This time too, there was only a small cut in the leather of the joist.
However, the ruler behind the scenes swung his sword once again.
Tsk-!
There again.
Tsk!
Once again.
Tsk! It seems like he won’t
stop
.
Tsk!
Rather, it speeds up more and more.
Not once, but five times.
Not five times, but ten times.
More than ten times, twenty times.
Twenty or forty times.
Over forty times────the master behind the scenes who swings his sword so fast that he can’t even count them.
And in that split second, Black Cat was able to see.
Clearly, with just one attack, Jang Seon’s body was cut with only a small wound on his back.
Black Cat stared blankly at that.
[Because even you can do this. Give it a try.]
I was able to set the right goal.
####
After dealing with Jang Seon, who died in less than 20 minutes after coming to this world after completing the space attack of the ruler of the other side.
Adelia Bentrick and Black Cat just stretched out.
Of course, the behind-the-scenes ruler and Buriga Mask did not push the contractees’ bodies to the point where they were destroyed, but rather used their power to match the contractees’ bodies, but to put it another way, it was the same as saying that they had overworked the bodies to their limits.
“…I will go back first and rest.”
“Me too…”
Adelia Bentrick and Black Cat each left with pained expressions as if their whole bodies were aching.
“It’s not a bad thing to get a name like this.”
Kim Joo-hyuk, who saw the two off, muttered that as he absorbed the name of Jang-seon, whose upper and lower bodies were separated.
and.
Now he was given the name Jeon Ho-beop (前護法) after receiving his name from Kim Joo-hyuk, and despite Kim Joo-hyuk telling him to rest, he remained firmly in his position and was recalling the image shown by his constellation, Dugui, earlier.
“….”
Earlier, Jang Seon suffered internal injuries when the magic power he had gathered through the flowers ran out in the gold created by Adelia Ventrick.
Tugui then broke Jang Seon’s limbs and bound him so that he could no longer move.
Of course, if you look at it up to this point, all that Tugui showed by borrowing Jeon Ho-beop’s body was an insignificant restraint.
On the contrary, Jeon Ho-beop felt both joy and goosebumps at the same time.
Obviously, at that time, Tugui used Jeon Ho-beop’s body to capture Jang Seon.
‘Jang Seon didn’t notice.’
Jang Seon, who was obviously restrained by Tugui, did not notice Tugui.
Rather, he probably thought that the reason he was bound was due to magical power rather than physical reasons, and he handled his magical power in a messy manner to hasten his own orders.
That wasn’t all.
Adelia Bentrick, whose golden flowers bloomed right away.
Lastly, the Black Cat who took Jog Seon’s life.
No one recognized Tugui.
Stealth that can truly be described as the ultimate.
Absolute stealth that cannot be released even when in direct contact with the opponent and, if used properly, can assassinate anyone.
[Let’s practice.]
After everything was over, Tugui dismantled the manifestation, leaving only those words.
Although Tugui was not suppressing his joy, he was still contemplating the feelings from a few tens of minutes ago in his mind.
How long did Tugui continue to think like that?
“after.”
Kim Joo-hyuk, who had been sitting a moment ago, finally absorbed the entire name and stood up.
“I guess you got some practice?”
He suddenly spoke.
“…yes?”
Jeon Ho-beop answers as if he doesn’t understand.
Kim Joo-hyuk laughed and spoke at Jeon Ho-beop’s reaction.
“Sosimi’s abilities can only be used when her body is under some level of control. “The fact that he was able to remain hidden even though he was in contact with Jang Seon for quite a long time shows how well-disciplined he is.”
Tuk.
Kim Joo-hyuk says that and taps Jeon Ho-beop on the shoulder.
“So work hard.”
“…yes.”
Kim Joo-hyuk, who was walking towards the black space, leaving behind Jeon Ho-beop, who answered with a blank expression, stopped for a moment.
“Oh and.”
“yes?”
“It would be better for you to start with something very small instead of making too much contact like the fighting spirit.”
With that being said, let’s get into it now. After saying this, he walked into the black space.
Jeon Ho-beop was watching it for a long time.
“…her.”
Immediately, I smiled involuntarily and felt goosebumps rise once again.
‘I thought for sure no one noticed.’
It wasn’t like that.
‘You were watching everything from the beginning.’
Kim Joo-hyuk was watching everything.
Kim Joo-hyuk was watching Jeon Ho-beop even when he thought it had clearly disappeared from everyone’s awareness.
On that.
‘I’ve been thinking about it for a long time. As expected, it is invisible.’
Jeon Ho-beop watched in silence the black space where Kim Joo-hyuk disappeared for a while.
####
[…I think it was handled more neatly than I thought.]
Kim Joo-hyuk nodded at the voice of Barche who spoke to him as soon as he returned to the training room.
“Well, honestly, I didn’t think it would end this lightly.”
As Kim Joo-hyuk muttered that and remembered the Four Heavenly Kings he had faced, Barce spoke.
[Well, actually, the joists are not weak. Because he has enough power to single-handedly knock out guys from other classes.]
“…Really?”
[However, no matter how you look at the reason why your disciples took care of Jang Seon so easily, it seems to be because Jang Seon’s abilities were not very compatible with your disciples.]
“Is that so?”
[In the first place, Jang Seon’s abilities are almost useless unless they are competing one on one. Haven’t your disciples even dealt with Jang Seon?]
“If you think about it, that’s true.”
The difference between someone who had no information because they had never dealt with someone before and someone who had information because they had only dealt with someone once was very clear.
When the first constellations came down to Kim Joo-hyuk, didn’t he feel comfortable because they were people he had experienced before?
Therefore, Kim Joo-hyuk nodded as if he understood.
[Are you planning on absorbing the name right away?]
Kim Joo-hyuk nodded as Barce’s voice was soon heard again.
“of course.”
Well, it must have been the same in the past, but at a time like now when the pattern of constellations suddenly began to change, it was necessary to build up strength even more quickly, so Kim Joo-hyuk answered without delay.
‘Honestly, I’m a little excited.’
Kim Joo-hyuk looked at the ring he was wearing with a slightly expectant expression.
He had absorbed the names of many constellations before, but this was his first time absorbing one of the Four Heavenly Kings.
Therefore, Kim Joo-hyuk smiled and immediately began to increase his magic power.
“Shall we check how good the names of the Four Heavenly Kings are?”
Soon he began to absorb the names of the Four Heavenly Kings.
