The Constellations Are My Disciples - Chapter 242
◈ Episode 242: What is the Labyrinth Jewel? (2)
Humans, also called the lord of all creation.
A monster that eats people like that at will.
The lord of the sky and a celestial being who lives longer than ordinary humans.
Even though he was just a human, he was a immortal who trained and gained enlightenment and ascended to heaven.
In addition, most creatures living in the world have very different likes and dislikes.
And that is very natural.
Most living beings were of different races, and even if the races were the same, most of the tastes of each intelligent being were different, so each had their own likes and dislikes.
However, no matter what race or life form it is, there are certain things that people have no likes or dislikes about.
The name is Seongwa (仙果).
A person can live eternal life just by taking a single bite.
Youkai can gain enormous magical power by eating just one bite.
Other races besides Celestials and Immortals can receive such a positive response.
Therefore, it was an elixir loved by all races, so much so that it could be said that there was absolutely no dislike for the good fruits cultivated in a total of ten labyrinths.
And the labyrinth that all races were competing to occupy was originally managed by a total of 10 labyrinth masters, corresponding to the number of 10 labyrinths in total.
10 labyrinth lords in 10 labyrinths.
The numbers may be correct, but the reason why there were 10 labyrinth lords in each of the 10 labyrinths was because of the guardians of the labyrinth lords.
As has been said before, good fruit was an elixir coveted by all races and living beings, and therefore the labyrinth where good fruit was made was a target for other beings.
Therefore, in order to protect themselves, the labyrinth owners agreed that a total of 10 labyrinth owners would each be in charge of one labyrinth.
Thanks to this, the labyrinth has never been attacked in any significant way while producing fruit.
First of all, each of the Labyrinth Lords has a certain degree of strength, and the 10 Labyrinth Lords in total have made an agreement to protect each other when it comes to external issues, even if it is an internal problem.
Yes, until recently.
However, recently, the agreement between the 10 Labyrinthians was broken.
The reason is because of the spirit of the mind that has recently taken the place of the 4th labyrinth master.
A ghost spirit.
Since he was a greedy person from the beginning, he was a labyrinth lord who always thought about how to steal the labyrinths of other labyrinth lords whenever he had the chance.
Recently, he was very lucky and foolishly ate the Labyrinth of Labyrinth Master No. 3, who was killed by Labyrinth Min.
In short, unlike other labyrinth lords, he owns two labyrinths by himself.
However, that did not mean that the ghost spirit holding two labyrinths was an issue for other labyrinth owners.
The reason is that the peace in the labyrinth lasted for a very long time.
In the past, it would have been said that another labyrinth lord should be elected immediately to fight against the races targeting the labyrinth, but the labyrinth lords, who had already been in peace for too long, did not say anything even though they knew that the ghost spirit had picked up one more labyrinth.
Thanks to this, the ghost spirit was able to successfully place a labyrinth in his hands.
At the same time, he slowly began to reveal his ambitions that had been buried deep down until now.
The ambition to devour the labyrinths of other labyrinth owners.
And the second target of the ghost spirit’s ambition was Labyrinth No. 5.
Like Labyrinth 3, the ghost spirit knew that the timing of the Labyrinth Lord’s death by Labyrinth Min was the best time to devour the Labyrinth.
Therefore, he immediately sent his own skilled reconnaissance personnel to roughly figure out what the situation was like in Labyrinth No. 5.
however.
‘…Cheongjong was caught.’
Soon after, the spirit monster realized that Cheongjong, who had been sent to scout out Labyrinth 5, had actually been captured by them.
Soon he became troubled.
Of course, it wasn’t a concern like whether to save Cheongjong or not.
The deep demon’s concern is about the capabilities of the 5th Labyrinth Master, who has recently become the new Labyrinth Master.
In fact, he didn’t really care whether Cheongjong, who sent Jeong Chang, died or not.
Although he was a person whom he cared about a little, his death was not a big deal to the ghost spirit.
What was important to him was the labyrinth, so he continued to think for a while.
‘As expected, there is no chance other than this time.’
We came to the conclusion that we should eat Labyrinth 5.
Even if Cheongjong suffered, he never thought that he would suffer.
In fact, sending Cheongjong in the first place was simply to find out how much power he had, but from the beginning, there was no option in the mind of the Profound Demon Spirit not to attack Labyrinth No. 5.
In the first place, it was a natural fact that as time passed and the 5th Labyrinth Lord began to create a rift between the Labyrinth Lords, it would become difficult to consume the Labyrinth.
Of course, there was one thing that caught him off guard.
That’s because of the rumor that the 5th Labyrinth Lord that came up this time has some kind of relationship with Zhong Liquan, the leader of the Watchmen.
However, Shim Goe-ryeong did not consider the rumor to be a big deal.
No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t understand how there was any relationship between Zhong Liquan, the leader of the Watchmen, and the newbie Labyrinth Ju.
Secondly, even if he had some kind of relationship with Zhong Liquan, he was confident that Zhong Liquan, who pursues a symbiotic relationship with the Lord of the Labyrinth, would not be particularly hostile to him.
Moreover, if it successfully ate this labyrinth, the ghost spirit would have a total of three labyrinths.
That’s why the ghost spirit went straight to labyrinth number 5.
Soon, I was able to meet the Labyrinth Lord of Labyrinth No. 5 there.
Perhaps because he was a labyrinth citizen, the ghost spirit openly argued with No. 5 Labyrinth Lord, who was dressed in a unique outfit that was slightly different from that of this era.
“What the hell are you?”
The provocation of such a ghostly spirit worked very successfully.
####
“…are you saying you are willing to go to war?”
While listening to the words of the 5th labyrinth owner, Kim Joo-hyuk smiled with a bewildered expression and then opened his mouth.
“Do you know that your subordinate broke into my labyrinth illegally?”
“Anyway, the conclusion is that you won’t give up my subordinates now, right?”
Kim Joo-hyuk made a bewildered expression at the words of the mind ghost, who pushed him to the point of shamelessness, and it wasn’t long before Kim Joo-hyuk was able to figure out the mind spirit’s intentions.
‘This bastard came here to blatantly start a fight?’
The man in front of him was telling him to give up his subordinates, but Kim Joo-hyuk realized very quickly that Shim Goe-ryeong did not even care about his subordinates.
If he was really worried about his subordinates, he would have tried to negotiate somehow, but he was only blatantly saying that he would declare war.
‘Did you send that bastard who broke into the labyrinth in the first place on purpose to start a fight?’
Kim Joo-hyuk looked at the ghost spirit, remembering the man who broke into the labyrinth and was caught before returning from his visit to Mt. Cheonak.
‘Well, there’s no need to avoid a fight on purpose.’
Kim Joo-hyuk placed his hand on the sheath of his village sword and opened his mouth.
“Don’t just make up lame reasons, if you want to attack, then attack.”
A word from Kim Joo-hyuk.
The ghost spirit had a somewhat stern expression on his face.
‘I got caught…!’
Soon a smile appeared on his lips.
Of course he knew.
Even though the fight is now over, if you don’t kill the 5th Labyrinth Lord in front of you, you won’t get the Labyrinth.
But even if that were the case, the ghost spirit was confident.
Because the Demon Spirit knew a way to instantly turn the Labyrinth Lord in front of him into a ruined person.
Sssssssssssssssssssss-!
Magical power flows out from the body of the ghost spirit.
However, that magical power did not spread out in all directions.
Instead, the place where the magic is directed is a kid next to the ghost spirit.
Naturally, the kid standing next to the ghost spirit was not an ordinary kid, but a ‘dream ghost’, which was the awakening ability of the ghost spirit.
Mong-gwi, which is also the flowering ability of the deep ghost spirit, has an ego despite being an ability, and according to the command of the deep ghost spirit, it enters the user’s mental world and destroys that mind.
In short, physical strength was completely meaningless in the fight against the demonic spirit.
Therefore, despite the fact that his fighting skills were not that good, the Demon Spirit was able to easily defeat Labyrinth Jewel No. 3.
that-
“!”
-I was sure it would be the same this time too.
For a moment, Mong-gwi’s eyes are torn vertically thin, like those of a devil, and Kim Joo-hyuk’s gaze widens for an instant.
That’s it.
The ghost spirit smiled without hesitation when he realized that his enlightenment ability, the demon demon, had already invaded his mental world.
####
Mong-gwi, the flowering ability of a deep ghost spirit, used his ability to instantly enter Kim Joo-hyuk’s mental world, showing quite a surprise.
‘It’s quite difficult.’
Basically, in order to enter a person’s mental world, a fairly large amount of magical power is required, and in Kim Joo-hyuk’s case, the amount of magical energy required was large, so Mong-gwi expressed more surprise than expected, but that was it.
Mong-gwi smiled, thinking that the game was over now that he had already entered his mental world.
‘Now then, where should we start and how should we destroy it?’
Mong-gwi twitched the corners of his mouth and looked at his surroundings.
The life of Labyrinth Master No. 5, who had just entered the labyrinth, was not very good, and his mental world consisted of nothing but dry land and mountains. However, finding the core of his spirit here was not that difficult for him, so Mong-gwi looked around.
That moment.
Jeez-!
“…!?”
Mong-gwi unconsciously looked around due to the sudden chill he felt.
All he can see is still the dry land and mountains he saw at first.
Mong-gwi felt strange about that.
Jeez-!
As I felt goosebumps running through my body once again, I turned my gaze to my surroundings several times without realizing it.
soon.
“!”
When Monggwi looked at the sky, he realized why goosebumps were forming on his body.
As soon as Monggwi looked up into the sky, what he saw was a black passage.
Yes,
literally a black passage.
A very large black passage that seemed to suck everything into it.
However, after a while, Mong-gwi had no choice but to swallow his breath.
The reason was because it was not difficult for Monggwi to notice that what he was looking at in front of him was not just a black passage.
“eye…?”
eye.
It took some time for Mongoi to realize that the huge black passage was not just a passage but an eye.
That’s because the eyes looking at Mong-gwi were too big for him to see and perceive at once.
Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss-
sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssEssssssssssssssssssssssss Atzi seemed at that upon realizing that Mong-gwi had seen it, the huge eyes that werelooking at him began to slowly narrow.
Slowly ,
gradually
, what Mong-gwi was able to see later was eyes shaped like a crescent moon, as if laughing.
But in that situation, Mong-gui could do nothing.
Even though his body was not bound to a special body, he could not do anything.
Even though he could get out of this mental world right now if he wanted to, he couldn’t do anything.
Just looking at those ridiculous eyes made Monggwi feel as if all his abilities had been taken away.
So all he could do was look up blankly at the eyes that were laughing at him.
and.
[No, if you try to play with Master’s spirit.]
