The Constellations Are My Disciples - Chapter 259
◈ Episode 259: Unexpected gain (1)
The mountaineers have become weaker.
In the first place, the source of their power comes from the person they admire.
Therefore, unless the Avatar breaks the seal and comes out, the Sangeos cannot receive the power of the Avatar properly.
However, that did not mean that Sanjeo was weak.
Even if their power comes from the Avatar they worship, and even if they escape the realm of the Avatar where they are sealed, the Sanju are fundamentally not weak.
In the first place, their bodies are so hard that they cannot be pierced by ordinary blades, and the strength that comes from their strong bodies is strong enough to lift huge rocks.
To sum it up in one word, Sanje is not weak.
The same goes for the leader of Sanjeo.
The leader of Sanjeo, who defeated all Sanjeos with such strong bodies and received the approval of the Avatar more than anyone else, and whose physical abilities far exceeded the power of ordinary Sanjeos.
In fact, to put it bluntly, the leader of Sanjeo was stronger than King Damuncheon in terms of pure force.
okay. It must have been like that.
gulp.
All the mountaineers gathered there watched with blank expressions as their leader’s head fell.
The owner of the head flying in the air is none other than their leader, Sanjeo.
Tuk!
The head that hit the ground with a loud sound was also that of their leader.
thud! dump!
Likewise, the body that fell towards the ebony tree as soon as it lost its head was clearly the body of the leader.
Then, one thought came to the Sanjeos’ heads.
The leader of the mountaineers has died.
In less than a second.
A very simple fact.
However, that simple fact reminded the Sanjeos of their instinctive fear of the weak.
“You touched the wrong person, you pigs.”
Along with that, Kim Joo-hyuk’s body began to move.
Tsk-!
So fast that you can’t follow it with your own two eyes.
However, even if we could not follow it with our own eyes, the results were clearly visible among the mountaineers.
Fuwaaaaaaa!
Three heads flying in the sky.
However, the moment the mountaineers turned their heads to see the three heads flying in the sky, the three heads became six.
“Ugh-!”
Sigh!
Sanjeo’s head flies into the sky as he moves his neck to scream.
As Sanjeo tried to turn to run away, his upper body flew into the sky.
Sanjeo grabs a weapon to show some resistance.
The body of Sanjeo, who was looking at the corpses of his colleagues and leader being slaughtered with an expression of not knowing what to do, flies into the air.
“nice…! Everyone, don’t panic and take up your weapons! There is only one enemy anyway!”
Among them, the one who has come to his senses is the vice-head, who is the right hand man of the head of the Sangeo and was leading the Sangeo on his behalf.
He shouted in an attempt to do something about the army, which was instantly thrown into chaos due to the death of its leader.
No matter how much they thought about it, they believed that their one-sided massacre was simply due to temporary confusion.
however.
“Everyone bring their own weapons!”
Sigh-!
In the end, the head of the assistant head, who was trying to boost the morale of the mountaineers, was thrown into the air by Kim Joo-hyuk.
“Ugh!”
“Run away too!”
“It was ridiculous to go and kill the guy who sealed him in the first place!!!”
The assistant pastor’s efforts completely consumed the morale of the mountaineers, along with his own life.
From then on, what was created was a scene of one-sided massacre.
Every time Kim Joo-hyuk’s sword moves, at least one Sanjeo loses his life.
The same was true for those who ran in a hurry to get out of the labyrinth.
And in just a short period of time, Sanjeo’s group of over a few hundred people who had crossed into the labyrinth to deal with Kim Joo-hyuk were all killed.
Everything without missing a single thing.
However, Kim Joo-hyuk did not stop and shot towards the entrance of the labyrinth.
From the moment he saw the fallen guide, Kim Joo-hyuk used the awakening he thought he would no longer use, but he felt his strength slowly fading away, but instead he increased his speed and ran towards the entrance of the labyrinth.
“Tsk-!”
Kim Joo-hyuk was able to see King Damuncheon opening the portal door with a puzzled expression, looking at him at the end.
####
‘How on earth…!’
King Damuncheon looked at Kim Joo-hyuk, who was mercilessly slaughtering Sanjeo in front of him, with a shocked expression on his face.
King Damun Cheon, who was looking at him, who was moving at a speed so fast that he could not even see it with the naked eye, reducing the mountain base by more than half in an instant, turned and ran away without thinking too much.
“Tsk-!”
I immediately started opening the door.
Wow!
As soon as I started to open the door, I heard Sanjeo’s scream coming from afar.
King Damuncheon stared at the labyrinth where the massacre was taking place for a long time, as if he really didn’t understand.
‘It definitely wouldn’t have been that bad…!’
He clearly had a rough idea of Kim Joo-hyuk’s skills.
He was unable to kill the three Heavenly Kings except himself, but he destroyed the Mandala and ran away.
Through this, King Damuncheon evaluated Kim Joo-hyuk’s skills, and that is why he led the Sanjeos into the labyrinth.
Even if he got out and became weaker, I thought that the leader of Sanjeo and his subordinates would be able to deal with Kim Joo-hyuk.
‘…Of course, I deliberately reduced the number of people I brought in because I thought they might all be destroyed to some extent.’
King Damun Cheon concluded from the beginning that even the premise of the idea was wrong.
That’s because, although King Damuncheon succeeded in understanding his power, he did not take into account his ability to grow after losing his memory at all.
“You’ve become so strong in just this short period of time…?”
King Damuncheon frowned at the truly ridiculous growth rate.
The next moment.
“!”
King Damun Cheon could not help but be surprised.
‘Already this far…!’
I was obviously aware that no more sounds could be heard after Sanjeo’s scream, and I also thought that Kim Joo-hyuk would be heading this way.
‘fast…!’
The speed was faster than expected, so King Damuncheon was frightened and began to squeeze his body towards the portal, which was only half-open.
Unfortunately, King Damuncheon was unable to cross the portal intact.
“Keueuuuuu!”
King Damun Cheon, who saw his right arm floating in the air with red blood stains visible beyond the portal he had struggled to overcome, instinctively used his left arm to stop the bleeding.
That last one.
The moment the portal was closed to prevent Kim Joo-hyuk from crossing over, Damuncheonwang was able to see it.
The eyes of Kim Joo-hyuk looking at him with a twisted smile.
and.
‘Wait. ‘I will definitely go there to kill you.’
After reading Kim Joo-hyuk’s mouth, the portal that King Damoon Cheon had opened closed.
“….”
King Damun Cheon had to shiver for a moment from the chill he felt without even realizing it.
####
“Tsk.”
Unfortunately, Kim Joo-hyuk, who took only one arm of Damuncheonwang, felt a sense of helplessness slowly creeping in and clicked his tongue at the pain he would feel the next day.
However, Kim Joo-hyuk did not regret using Awakening.
‘If awakening had not been used, there is a high probability that the surprise attack would have failed.’
Kim Joo-hyuk has clearly become stronger by regaining Mangeom.
I was sure that even if I fought the Sanjeos without being awakened, the fight would have taken a long time, but I would not have lost.
However, the reason why Kim Joo-hyuk used awakening to quickly resolve the situation was because of the limitations that Kim Joo-hyuk had.
‘When there’s a guide who could be taken hostage, it’s better to just get the job done quickly.’
It would have been difficult if he had taken the incapacitated guide hostage, so Kim Joo-hyuk quickly used his awakening to dispose of the mountaineers.
Therefore, Kim Joo-hyuk did not regret using Awakening.
“…But you came back just in time.”
“…Have you come to your senses?”
“Somehow, I didn’t lose my mind for long.”
The guide who spoke to Kim Joo-hyuk as soon as he returned to his office.
She opened her mouth with a very tired expression.
“Honestly, I had no idea this situation would come.”
“…What happened while I was in Kalpa?”
Kim Joo-hyuk’s question.
The guide shook his head several times as if he was trying to come to his senses even though he was a little tired, and then he began to tell me in detail what had happened in the labyrinth while Kim Joo-hyuk was away.
“…So, those guys came to see me about five days after I went to Kalpa?”
“that’s right.”
“So first of all, you hurriedly blocked it with magic until I came back?”
“…Rather than blocking it with magic, I made the inside of the labyrinth like a maze to prevent it from reaching this place. Now, I don’t have the magic to stop that guy. But this was definitely unexpected.”
“You mean these guys invaded?”
When Kim Joo-hyuk gently touched Chae-yi’s sanjeo at her feet and spoke, she nodded.
“Perhaps if my prediction is correct….”
She told Kim Joo-hyuk her reasoning as to why these mountaineers came here.
“…So what you’re saying is that since I messed up Mandala, one of those Mandala guys brought these guys out to get revenge?”
“that’s right. The guy you said cut off his arm is probably King Damun, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Mandala. And although this incident is certainly unexpected, it is not your fault.”
The guide said that and then looked at Kim Joo-hyuk.
“Anyway, dealing with the Mandala’s stone statues was something that had to be done somehow until the seal on those guys was released. Something happened quickly. “There-”
The guide stood up while saying that.
Top Doo-Doo-
Stone crumbs falling accordingly.
After shaking himself off like that, he quickly smiled and spoke.
“If you hadn’t come out in time, the situation would have been very bad, but thanks to you coming out in time and killing the leader of Sanje, the situation has become less bad.”
“…Things aren’t as bad?”
The guide nodded at Kim Joo-hyuk’s words, walked through the pile of Sanjeo’s corpses, and stood in front of the leader of the Sanjeo that Kim Joo-hyuk had killed. He then turned his gaze and looked at the ax that he had struck earlier to show off his full power.
An ax that looked very large even though it was held by a huge mountain leader who was over 2 meters tall.
The guide, who was looking at it for a moment, then smiled and looked back at Kim Joo-hyuk.
“Yes, when the leader of Sanjeo died, he handed over an item that was very helpful to us.”
Soon, the leader of Sanjeo touched the ax he was holding and said that.
