The Constellations Are My Disciples - Chapter 280
◈ Episode 280 Fair and Fair (1)
“Are you going to deal with Kurma?”
Kim Joo-hyuk nodded at the guide’s words.
“that’s right.”
As it took a long time to come up with an answer, Kim Joo-hyuk thought that his choice was not a bad one.
‘I don’t know if the story would proceed well if I did not destroy Kurma and destroyed the other two as Zhong Liquan said.’
If the story goes as well as Zhong Liquan said, it would naturally have been better to destroy the two with stronger military power first.
But what if things go wrong?
If something like that were to happen, Kim Joo-hyuk would have to fight against the immortal incarnations and deal with Kurma, who was being protected by the incarnations, in order to take away immortality.
And there was a very high probability that it would become a headache.
‘In that case, it would be better to eliminate the stepping stone to the worst situation in the first place.’
Of course, it was a bit inconvenient to know that only one person with the highest level of force among the incarnations would survive, but a choice had to be made anyway.
‘There it is.’
From the beginning, Kim Joo-hyuk was originally thinking of dealing with all eight Avatars.
In short, this situation meant that no matter which incarnation Kim Joo-hyuk dealt with, as long as it was efficient, it would be unconditionally beneficial, so Kim Joo-hyuk conveyed what he had just thought to the guide and Jong Li-kwon.
“That’s definitely true.”
“I think so too.”
“Then let’s destroy Kurma first.”
Guide’s consent.
“So what should I do now?”
“We have to wait because we have to create a body for Kurma to manifest.”
“Make a body? “Can’t you just put it anywhere?”
The guide nodded.
“It will still be like that.”
“Then you can just take a corpse and make it appear?”
At Kim Joo-hyuk’s words, the guide shook his head once and began to explain.
“But not with any corpses. “If you bring in any corpse and make it manifest, the body will not be able to withstand it and will explode before the incarnation can manifest in the first place.”
“then?”
“I have to keep my body from exploding.”
As the guide said this, he took out three brightly shining fragments from his arms.
“With this.”
“This…?”
“It’s a fragment left over after I sealed the other incarnations. “Originally, I was going to use this to stop the dwarves, but things went so well that I didn’t end up using it.”
The guide smiled and continued.
“I’m going to use this. “I will use my fragments to create a body that is large enough to handle the magic power emitted when the Avatar appears.”
“How long does it take to make it?”
“Well it won’t take long. “About two days this time?”
Kim Joo-hyuk nodded as if he understood what the guide said and then quickly changed the topic.
“So, when do you think my students will come?”
“Your disciples?”
“So, the guys who went last time to assimilate their names haven’t come yet, and the guys who went with Heukmong haven’t come back yet, right?”
The guide looked like he was thinking about Kim Joo-hyuk’s story for a long time and then spoke.
“I said this last time, but this is a bit difficult for me to answer. “In the first place, assimilating to the name and gaining that power is a matter of effort.”
“Hmm….”
“In other words, your disciples may have earned a name and are returning, or they may still be working hard to obtain a name. Just…”
“Just?”
“As for your disciples in Goesan… wouldn’t they probably regain their memories around the time you defeat Kurma?”
“okay…?”
Kim Joo-hyuk answers the guide’s words.
Zhong Liquan, who was next to him, looked at the two, then stood up and spoke.
“If you’re really curious, I’ll come back one more time. “I already know the location anyway.”
“Thank you for doing so.”
“Then let’s go right away.”
After hearing Kim Joo-hyuk’s words, Zhong Li-quan must have decided that there was no need to delay any longer, so he immediately used his flowering ability to disappear.
Suddenly, Kim Joo-hyuk, who was watching the situation, turned to the guide and spoke.
“Then, don’t I have to do something else to gain the ability to bloom?”
Kim Joo-hyuk’s question.
The guide nodded his head.
“That is certainly true, but under the circumstances, it seems difficult to do so right away. In fact, you need to rest in order to gain the ability to bloom… I don’t think there will be time for that.”
The guide seemed to think for a moment as he spoke, but then spoke as if he had decided.
“I think we can talk about this after we capture Kurma. It takes quite a long time to use the Lotus of Reincarnation anyway.”
Kim Joo-hyuk nodded as if he understood what the guide said, and in that state, he spoke a few more words with her.
“Rest first. “Once you start moving to catch Kurma, you may not have time to fully rest.”
Soon, I nodded at the guide’s words and stood up.
The moment Kim Joo-hyuk tried to leave.
“I’m here. “Master!”
“?”
Kim Joo-hyuk could see the damn thing.
####
“I have gained the power of a madman!”
“The guide and Zhong Liquan said it would take a very long time, but you did it quickly?”
“of course. “Who am I to be such a disciple that I would be slow!”
Jilal is talking as if he is very happy about this situation, and Kim Joo-hyuk is talking to him with a pleasant smile.
And the guide and Jong Li-kwon were watching them talking on one side of the office.
“…What happened?”
“What do you mean?”
“You mean him.”
As the guide spoke while looking at Ji-ra-li, Zhong Li-quan opened his mouth as if he understood what she was trying to say.
“Of course, you were surprised when you first saw it. Other people might not have noticed, but when you found out that the guy who went to get the name of Gwangin-seon had assimilated it so quickly.”
“…Are you sure you’ve assimilated the name?”
“Can’t you see the gauntlet on that hand?”
Hearing Zhong Liquan’s words, the guide looked down and looked at the shiny red bracelet on his wrist and let out a sigh.
“…You really assimilated the name of Gwangin-seon in that short period of time?”
“Honestly, I don’t believe it, but I think so.”
“I would have thought it was amazing if the first or second disciples had assimilated the name, even though it was a little early…” Of course, that does not mean that the name that can be assimilated to the
ruler behind the Buriga Mask is better than Gwangin-seon.
Nevertheless, the reason why the guide and Jong Li-kwon were surprised when Jiral assimilated the name of Gwangin-seon was precisely because of the difficulty.
‘Basically, understanding is needed to assimilate the name.’
When it comes to fairy tales, understanding the life of the person you are assimilating is fundamentally essential.
And from that perspective, the difficulty level of Gwanginseon is very high.
No, it is extreme.
In the end, in order to write the name of a madman, you had to understand the madman.
In that sense, the situation for those who had to assimilate between Buriga Mask and the ruler behind it was clearly better than that of Gwangin-seon.
Of course, that doesn’t mean the guide deliberately caught the madman so that he could be fucked.
The reason she told Jiral to assimilate to Gwangin-seon’s name was simply because she recognized through her abilities that Gwang-in-seon’s abilities suited him best.
Anyway, to sum up the conclusion, in the end, Gwang In-seon, whose name Jiral went to assimilate, is not a person who can be assimilated so quickly.
“If only I had assimilated the name this quickly.”
“…I’m a bit curious about your mental state.”
The guide and Jong Ri-kwon were silent for a while as they saw Ji-ral talking like an ordinary normal person in front of Kim Joo-hyuk.
“So the sisters and priest haven’t arrived yet?”
“Well, I guess I’ll be a little late.”
“Hmm. Aren’t the sisters and priests doing something roughly? “I finished it so quickly, too.”
Ji-ral smiled the whole time while chatting with Kim Joo-hyuk, ignoring the gazes of the guide and Jong Li-kwon.
####
So, two days after Jilal returned to the labyrinth.
“It’s complete.”
After meeting with Jilal, Kim Joo-hyuk, who was relaxing comfortably and doing nothing as the guide had instructed in advance, looked at what she had prepared.
“This?”
“It’s a box with a dwarf’s body in it. All you have to do is take this and use the lotus there.”
The guide said so and handed over the Lotus of Reincarnation that he had been holding a moment ago to Kim Joo-hyuk.
“So, how do I use this?”
“I don’t even need to tell you how to use it. Since I already prepared everything in advance, all you have to do is place the box in front of where the dwarf is sealed and infuse the lotus with magic.”
“Then is it over?”
A guide nodding his head.
“Okay, I’ve already done everything that needs to be done on the box and the corpse, so all you have to do is infuse it with magic.”
“If you infuse magical power like that and Kurma appears in this corpse, you can kill him?”
“Yes, in the first place, the ability to become immortal is a legacy that resides in Kurma’s body. “Unlike a dwarf, he is weaker than other incarnations, except for his body.”
“It will be easy to handle.”
The guide opened his mouth at Kim Joo-hyuk’s words.
“But don’t let your guard down too much. No matter how much he lost his body, his essence is basically an incarnation. Besides, if you use the Lotus of Reincarnation, a lot of your magic power will be taken away.”
“Of course I’m thinking about that. So-”
Grinning.
“You’re taking them all, right?”
Kim Joo-hyuk glanced back with a smile on his face.
The first thing he saw was the white tiger, with Suzaku and the phoenix standing on both sides, and next to them were Jiral, Mukwang, and Dowang, who had recently returned after successfully assimilating their names.
Lastly, there is Jong Ri-kwon, who is working hard on something using an amulet next to the office.
“Definitely…”
When the guide went to deal with Kurma, he looked at the people who would be with Kim Joo-hyuk and smiled.
Kim Joo-hyuk soon turned to Zhong Li-quan and spoke.
“Let’s go quickly.”
“Let me open the door.”
Jong Li-kwon immediately reacts to Kim Joo-hyuk’s words and begins to open the door.
Ugh-!
Not long after the magic and talisman on the floor began to float, Kim Joo-hyuk saw a paper gate that seemed to be able to pass five or six people appear in front of Zhong Liquan.
Soon, the guide was able to see Jiral, who was with Dowang, coming closer and taking care of a huge box.
widely-!
The paper door opened as soon as Jiral packed the huge box.
Inside the paper gate, a different scenery was visible. Kim Joo-hyuk begins to walk towards Jangjimun without hesitation.
“Now then, let me try playing Daguri this time.”
I muttered with a humorous smile and crossed the paper gate.
