The Constellations Are My Disciples - Chapter 172

◈ Episode 172 Brain Stop (4)

“….”

The hidden strategist recalled the scene he had seen earlier.

The scene earlier when Mukwang, one of the former Four Heavenly Kings, came down.

‘…It seems like people have changed.’

And after thinking for a moment, the hidden strategist remembered Moo-gwang’s previous appearance and evaluated him as such.

That’s because Moo-gwang’s appearance was very strangely different from what he used to look like.

Of course, that doesn’t mean the hidden strategist didn’t know much about Moo-gwang, but even taking that into account, Moo-gwang had changed a lot.

‘Why is it like this…’

Mu Gwang (武狂).

The man whose name was a word that could be interpreted as someone crazy about nothing, was always crazy, at least when the hidden strategist saw him.

Always giggling like a madman and practicing martial arts.

With his honed martial arts skills, he kills everyone who enters the Tower of Destruction.

At least that’s what the hidden strategist saw Moo-gwang look like.

But what about today?

‘…Do you think people have become calmer?’

calm.

No, beyond being calm, Moo-gwang showed a strangely cold demeanor that felt like a hidden strategist.

It was completely different from what he knew 300 years ago.

I felt strange about the hidden strategist, but in fact, that wasn’t the only reason I felt strange about him.

‘…Mugwang controls the constellations.’

Mukwang is the Four Heavenly Kings.

It is true that he is qualified to control other constellations.

But even so, Mu-gwang has never once controlled other constellations.

In the first place, he didn’t pay any attention to his surroundings except for his martial arts and dealing with the enemies that attacked him.

However, he had always shown such behavior, but this time he strangely controlled the constellations.

The reason is unknown.

However, he summoned those who appeared with him to a deserted island.

‘Is it because of martial arts…?’

The hidden strategist recalled the time when he briefly explained the current world to Jeon Moo-gwang earlier.

‘The expression on his face definitely changed a little when he told the story of Musin.’

While talking about the present world, when the story of Mu-shin came up, Moo-gwang made a strange expression, although it was only for a moment.

It’s an ambiguous expression that doesn’t know whether it’s laughter or anger.

However, as soon as he heard that and said that the god of war would come to him if he went down to earth, Mu-gwang gathered the constellations in one place.

‘Could it be that they are trying to suppress the god of war by using the constellations?’

It occurred to me that it wasn’t a story without possibility.

After all, Moo-gwang was killed by Kim Joo-hyuk 300 years ago.

However, no matter how much he thought about it, considering Moo-gwang’s personality, it didn’t seem like he had any purpose, so the hidden strategist thought about it for a while.

‘…Well, since Mukwang is here this time, I’m sure he’ll do something.’

The hidden strategist believed in Moo-gwang.

Although he was killed by the god of war, the god of war had not yet regained all of his strength from his prime.

In such a situation, the hidden strategist clearly thought that Moo-gwang had a chance of winning.

Because matte was strong.

Therefore, he soon looked at the large Musinmun Gate built in this Daegong-dong.

‘Besides, it seems like the tower owner has started to move in earnest this time.’

Thought.

####

Inside the Musinmun.

“It’s him this time.”

“I know.”

“What was that guy? Matt…was it matte?”

“I think so.”

There, four disciples and Barce were watching the Four Heavenly Kings who encountered Kim Joo-hyuk.

Mu Gwang-eul, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, has a long schematic tattoo.

“Tsk, it’s a shame I didn’t bother you. “How come every time they come down, they go straight down without even staying in Daegong-dong for a while?”

“It’s a bit unfortunate that the other constellations also went down without us having a chance to do anything about it this time.”

Dugui speaks as if he is disappointed with Burigamen’s words.

The ruler behind the scenes, who had been listening to the story the whole time, shrugged his shoulders and opened his mouth.

“Well, one thing is fortunate. If we’re all together like that, wouldn’t it be easier for Master to deal with it?”

“Probably enough. “Because you have already found the strength of your prime.”

Likewise, Jiral, who was listening to the story, nodded and answered as if he agreed with the situation.

and.

“….”

Barce, hanging upside down from the ceiling, thought without realizing it while listening to his students’ stories.

‘What an incredible level of trust.’

What the disciples immediately saw was a scene in which the nineteen constellations and Kim Joo-hyuk were confronting each other.

However, the disciples who were watching the situation were talking about it completely, as if not a single one of them had even thought that Kim Joo-hyuk would lose.

‘Of course, I don’t think he will lose either.’

Barce watched Kim Joo-hyuk for over a year and actually saw his growth.

The growth is so ridiculous that you can’t believe it even when you see it with your own eyes.

In addition, the fact that Kim Joo-hyuk had grown to a much greater extent than in his prime when he fought against him made it difficult to think that he would lose, no matter how much he thought about it.

However, even though I knew that Kim Joo-hyuk was that strong, I thought that I might feel a little worried in such a situation.

“….”

The disciples just looked down at the constellations confronting their Master without the slightest worry.

With an expression full of endless trust and belief.

Barce looked at his disciples with a strange expression.

Soon, he turned his gaze towards the screen showing Kim Joo-hyuk and the constellations that the disciples were looking at.

That moment.

“?”

The disciples, including Barche, were able to witness the scene.

Push!

The sight of Moo-gwang, who was confronting Kim Joo-hyuk, shattering the head of the smiling constellation next to him.

####

Poseok-!

A dull yet very foreign sound is heard in Kim Joo-hyuk’s ears.

What Kim Joo-hyuk saw next was the head of the fish-doll constellation that had been smiling at him just a moment ago, disappearing into a matte fist.

“?”

Looking at that scene, Kim Joo-hyuk had a blank expression for a moment.

Because Kim Joo-hyuk didn’t know why Moo-gwang killed his colleague.

and.

“!!”

“Mugwang!?”

“Why?”

It may have been the same for the constellations that were standing opposite Kim Joo-hyuk, as they looked at Moo-gwang, who had smashed the constellation’s head with an expression of endless confusion.

Kim Joo-hyuk also didn’t move.

The mat and the constellations do not move.

Just a long silence.

and.

dump-!

At the same time, the headless body of the constellation fell to the cold ground.

Push-!

Another constellation’s head exploded like a watermelon.

This time, it was the constellation that was looking at Mu-gwang with a puzzled expression just a moment ago.

Before he could even react to Moo-gwang’s movement, his head exploded.

It was only then that the constellations realized that this situation was unusual and only then widened their distance from the surroundings of Mukwang.

dump-!

As the constellations widen the distance, another constellation’s body falls to the cold ground.

Mu Gwang-eun killed two constellations in less than 5 seconds.

Hijuk-!

He let go of the expressionless expression he had been wearing a moment ago and looked at the constellations who were looking at him with a creepy smile on his face.

“Are you saying you were good at collecting?”

Saying that, he quickly rushed between the constellations.

“Ma Mak!”

Push-!

A constellation whose head exploded before it could even finish speaking.

In response, other constellations instinctively begin to increase their abilities.

Some people use their abilities by raising their magical power, while

others strengthen their bodies to keep in check the darkness that seems to be coming at them at any moment.

Someone else is creating a barrier to restrict Moo-gwang’s movements right away.

Someone rather rushes at him as if they need to subdue Moo-gwang in this situation.

but.

Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!

Even when the constellations, which numbered more than ten in an instant, were about to attack, Mu-gwang looked at the constellations with a smile. He turned his

gaze

to look at Kim Joo-hyuk and ran away with his smile still on his face.

“??”

Kim Joo-hyuk looks even more suspicious.

As expected, Moo-gwang was looking at him as if something had happened, but Kim Joo-hyuk had no particular contact with Moo-gwang, so he looked at him with a strange expression.

Whether or not Kim Joo-hyuk was looking at him with a strange expression, he had already taken care of all the constellations that had come down with him.

Boom!

With a single blow from Matt’s fist, the head of the constellation that was about to use its abilities exploded.

Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk! Wow!

With one kick from him, the body of the constellation that was rushing forward is bent at a right angle and thrown into a corner of an uninhabited island.

However, Mu-gwang is taking on all sixteen constellations by himself.

How much time has passed like that?

“Why on earth!- Wow!”

Moo-gwang, who was the last remaining to open his mouth in a fearful voice, without hesitation broke the neck of the constellation, leaving the limp body of the constellation on the ground and then turned his gaze to look at Kim Joo-hyuk.

‘ah.’

And only then did Kim Joo-hyuk look at Moo-gwang and realize why he acted like this.

‘…Did you want to fight with me alone?’

Kim Joo-hyuk recalled some of what Moo-gwang said 300 years ago and nodded as if he found it quite believable.

At least, considering what he heard 300 years ago, it seemed understandable that Mu-gwang in front of him killed all the constellations for that very reason.

‘Well, it’s not bad for me so it doesn’t matter.’

And this situation was actually good for Kim Joo-hyuk because he didn’t have to relax.

If he hadn’t dealt with the constellations anyway, he would have had to deal with all the constellations himself.

Of course, they were not particularly difficult for Kim Joo-hyuk, but difficult and annoying are two different things.

Kim Joo-hyuk finished thinking like that and waited as he watched Moo-gwang walking towards him.

Moo-gwang slowly walked towards Kim Joo-hyuk and soon stood in front of him.

If I stretched out my fist right now, I could reach it immediately.

Therefore, Kim Joo-hyuk slowly began to prepare to bring his left hand towards the sword in preparation for the battle with Moo-gwang.

That moment.

“long time no see. Mushin!”

“?”

Kim Joo-hyuk unconsciously made another blank expression as he watched Moo-gwang bow his head vigorously towards him.

“We will keep the promise we made 300 years ago! Please accept me as your disciple!”

“???”

At the words that followed, Kim Joo-hyuk couldn’t help but feel his brain stop coming once again.
