The Constellations Are My Disciples - Chapter 271
◈ Episode 271: Deep in the forest, out of sight (5)
“…Is that true?”
[There’s no reason for me to lie, right?]
Kim Joo-hyuk asked with a blank expression on his face at Bingshingeom’s words.
“What is the method?”
[Before that.]
“…Before that?”
[Advanced payment.]
“Ah.”
[Like I said last time, I won’t help you if you don’t give me the down payment.]
At Bingshingeom’s words, Kim Joo-hyuk looked at Bingshingeom with a slightly absurd expression, but then sighed and spoke as if there was nothing he could do.
“You useless idiot.”
[Ugh…!]
“….”
At the strange exclamation sound that rang directly in his head, Kim Joo-hyuk felt a sense of sage time that he had not felt even when fighting Parashurama.
‘How on earth did this sword develop such strange symptoms?…’
I heard.
Kim Joo-hyuk knew why Bingshingeom had these symptoms.
However, just because he heard it didn’t mean he felt a sense of self-destruction, so Kim Joo-hyuk looked at Bingsingeom with a sage expression for a while.
[Hmm. I’ll let you know.]
Soon, Bingsingeom spoke loudly in a very satisfied(?) voice.
[I know what you’re having a hard time with. Because of the corpse, right?]
“That’s right.”
[Then it’s simple. Break that jewel in the center of Parashurama’s axe.]
“…Jewel?”
[Yes, can you see it right in front of you? Green jewel.]
When Kim Joo-hyuk turned his gaze to look at the axe, there was a truly green jewel there, just as Bingshingeom said.
“You think I can break that?”
[It’s easy to break that jewel. Maybe if you just stab it properly with a knife, it will shatter?]
“Is the law of destruction that easy?”
[If I were to tell it straight, it wouldn’t really mean anything even if the jewel were shattered because it would regenerate right away.]
After saying that, Bingshingeom immediately started telling Kim Joo-hyuk everything he knew about Parashurama.
“What you’re saying is that that jewel is originally one of Parashurama’s blooming abilities, and it’s easy to break, but if you have the strength, you can restore it right away.”
[The one occupying his body now is not the real Parashurama. In short, if you break that jewel, it will definitely be restored, but not right away.]
“Huh…”
Kim Joo-hyuk nods his head with a smile on his face without realizing it at the unexpectedly presented path.
[There.]
“Is there anything else?”
[Of course, that guy is the guy you beat once before. So listen carefully. I can’t go into the inside like you, so it’s hard to explain it properly.]
Bingshingeom answered like that and started explaining Parashurama to Kim Joo-hyuk.
#####
Sealed Parashurama.
Or, to be more precise, the ‘thing’ that took over Parashurama’s body was thinking of one question as it watched Kim Joo-hyuk continuing to attack him.
‘Why on earth is that guy attacking me?’
The question is why Kim Joo-hyuk is running towards him.
No matter how much he thought about it, Parashurama couldn’t guess why Kim Joo-hyuk or ■■ did that.
In the first place, the current Kim Joo-hyuk was very different from Parashurama.
Right now, the number of deaths he has suffered until he cuts off Parashurama’s arm is hundreds at best.
However, the unfortunate thing is that due to his characteristics, having his arm fall off is not a serious injury.
In addition, after he started using Kshatriya, which was also Parashurama’s twisted ability, Kim Joo-hyuk was no match for Parashurama at all.
Is that it?
He was currently experiencing a terrible death every time he died due to Parashurama.
‘I’m sure that’s the case.’
Despite suffering terrible deaths each time, Kim Joo-hyuk continued to challenge Parashurama.
It’s as if he doesn’t care about such a painful death.
“….”
Therefore, Parashurama instinctively thought that there was a reason why Kim Joo-hyuk was challenging him to such an extent, but no matter how much he thought about it, he could not find the reason.
That’s because, at least in his memory, he felt that Kim Joo-hyuk had nothing to gain by beating him, no matter how much he thought about it.
‘What is it?’
Parashurama is worried.
But his worries did not last long.
“You waited, right?”
At the sound of the voice being heard, Parashurama frowned and turned his gaze, and soon he could see Kim Joo-hyuk standing there with a confident expression.
“You never get tired of it and it comes back like a bug.”
“I don’t think that’s something a guy who got his arm cut off by that bug would say.”
Wow.
Parashurama frowned as he listened to Kim Joo-hyuk’s voice.
After all, no matter how much he thought about it, Parashurama… no, he didn’t like that.
It was the same for him a long time ago, and he hasn’t regained all his memories yet.
Even though he lost his memory, that flippant tone of speech made it seem as if he hadn’t lost his memory.
‘This time, I’ll just cut off the limbs and let it eat the body little by little.’
He thought as he looked at Kim Joo-hyuk’s face.
At least at this point, Parashurama wanted to see his face frown mercilessly.
Keekeeeeek!
The moment he thought that, the corpses around Parashurama began moving towards Kim Joo-hyuk.
The corpses are approaching Kim Joo-hyuk at a very fast speed for those without limbs.
After a while, the situation became the same as before.
The corpses somehow rush to bite Kim Joo-hyuk, and he somehow avoids their attacks.
Then.
Sigh!
Just like before, Parashurama appeared among the corpses as he saw Kim Joo-hyuk swinging his sword to shake off the corpse biting his leg.
Everything is the same as before.
Parashurama looked at Kim Joo-hyuk and laughed.
He acted as if he had thought of some trick, but in the end, what he showed was just a repetition of what happened earlier.
okay. Until a little while ago, obviously.
“…!”
The moment Parashurama was about to strike down the axe, he saw something strange.
The first thing I saw was that the body that Kim Joo-hyuk had apparently dismembered was still biting his foot.
What appears next.
“!”
It was Kim Joo-hyuk looking at himself with the sword raised, which seemed to have been swung as if he had been waiting.
A different situation from before.
But Parashurama did not stop striking the axe.
Although Kim Joo-hyuk created a different situation than before, it was his ax that ended up attacking the opponent first in this split second.
But the next moment Parashurama realized that his thoughts were wrong.
Kwazijic!
The reason was that Kim Joo-hyuk’s sword hit not Parashurama’s neck, but the jewel of the ax he was striking.
“You bastard!”
Wow!! Kwasik!
At the same time as Parashurama’s frown becomes merciless, Kim Joo-hyuk’s left shoulder is completely cut off.
Bodies begin to disappear with him.
Parashurama looked at Kim Joo-hyuk, who had not yet been killed, with a devil-like expression.
“With this, we clear one first.”
Kim Joo-hyuk said that as if he was making fun of him.
Sigh!
With his left arm, which was still movable, he took out the ice sword and stabbed himself in the neck without hesitation.
and.
“You were surprised, weren’t you?”
Not long after that, Parashurama frowned as he looked at Kim Joo-hyuk, who appeared again in a normal state.
“…That bug bastard keeps bothering me.”
“I don’t think this is something to be said by someone whose flowering ability was destroyed by that bug.”
“under! “Are you so confident just because you lost one flowering ability?”
“no? Did I tell you? “Now it’s one.”
“what…?”
As Parashurama frowned, Kim Joo-hyuk spoke.
“A total of four? “Your flowering ability.”
“How could a guy who couldn’t even find his memories do that…!”
“It’s not that I don’t have friends like you. So-”
Grinning.
“You can look forward to it from now on.”
####
Kim Joo-hyuk heard information about Parashurama from Bingshingeom.
Each piece of information will definitely be of great help in the battle ahead.
And among them, the weaknesses of Parashurama’s four abilities that Bingshingeom talked about made it very easy for Kim Joo-hyuk to deal with him.
‘First of all, the Kshatriya was sealed.’
Of course, it is not a complete seal.
If Kim Joo-hyuk messes around, the jewel will be recovered again and the situation will be reversed as before.
And if the gem comes back like that. Because he knew that it would be difficult for him to defeat Parashurama again.
‘We will compete before the jewel is recovered.’
Kim Joo-hyuk thought so and rushed forward.
Kwaaaaang!
The fight began again with a huge explosion.
Kim Joo-hyuk’s death begins again with a fight.
Die, die, die.
Sometimes, you get killed by an arm that suddenly extends.
Sometimes, a spear suddenly bursts through the lake.
Another time, he was suddenly killed by an arrow aimed at the back of Kim Joo-hyuk’s head.
They are all the flowering powers of Parashurama.
The arms that suddenly increased to over 20 are ’21 wars’, one of Parashurama’s flowering abilities.
Next, the blood-red spear that fell from the sky was also one of his abilities, ‘Five Lakes’.
Lastly, the bow that was suddenly fired at the back of his head was the ‘bow of death’.
However, Kim Joo-hyuk was not embarrassed by the blooming ability that was targeting him at every moment.
Kim Joo-hyuk had already heard from Bingsingeom how to seal Parashurama’s flowering ability.
Therefore, Kim Joo-hyuk’s ability to bloom was sealed by repeating countless deaths.
The 21 battles that extended his arm infinitely were sealed by cutting off the bone in his right side.
The five lakes created infinitely from the blood-red lake and flying towards Kim Joo-hyuk were sealed by breaking the purple jewel embedded in his ankle.
Lastly, the ‘bow of death’ flying from a place where his eyes could not be seen was sealed by destroying the bow sending out the arrows.
What remains is Parashurama’s last ability.
Sigh!
Kim Joo-hyuk’s sword blows off Parashurama’s arm.
Parashurama frowned and tried to strike down the axe, but Kim Joo-hyuk’s sword, which had already blown off his left arm, moved in an instant and blew off his right arm.
Sigh!
Two arms flying in the air with red blood stains.
Parashurama was astonished as he looked at Kim Joo-hyuk for that split second.
‘To become stronger in such a short period of time?’
Death paradoxically makes life stronger.
Parashurama… no, ‘it’ knows it.
However, despite this, Kim Joo-hyuk’s growth rate was astonishing.
It’s as if I’m regaining my old memories little by little through this fight.
“!”
At that moment, Parashurama, no, it opened its eyes wide.
And I soon understood.
The Kim Joo-hyuk in front of me does not become stronger by regaining his memories.
and.
“It’s over.”
At the same time that Kim Joo-hyuk plunged the sword into Parashurama’s neck.
Hahaha!
Kim Joo-hyuk was able to see new memories once again.
