The Constellations Are My Disciples - Chapter 60
◈ Episode 60 Why are you here? (1)
It may be new, but Kim Joo-hyuk from 300 years ago had many enemies.
As for how many enemies Kim Joo-hyuk had, he had so many enemies that he would constantly be attacked by surprise until his disciples properly established themselves.
Why were there so many enemies?
There were many situational factors, but in fact, there was only one reason why Kim Joo-hyuk had so many enemies.
personality.
Among them, Kim Joo-hyuk’s personality of being the first to criticize something when he thinks it’s “sucky” was a very sufficient reason for him to make enemies around the world 300 years ago.
However, even though his enemies increased, Kim Joo-hyuk did not think that he had done anything wrong.
Rather, Kim Joo-hyuk was proud of himself.
Why?
‘It’s already hard to make a living, but I can’t stand playing with people’s lives.’
Most of the organizations and individuals he attacked were either bastards who bought and sold people as slaves or were assholes who opened fucking arenas with people who had no power.
Of course, 300 years ago, it was a time when most people thought nothing of buying and selling people as slaves.
Because it was an era where that had to be the case.
The world has become a mess because of monsters, and everyone is afraid of being attacked by monsters unless it is a space for a few special upper class people.
However, even so, the fact that Kim Joo-hyuk treated people like slaves and used them as play was in itself a dog.
Why?
‘Because I’ve experienced it.’
Kim Joo-hyuk was once a slave when he was young and had no power. I knew very well how miserable and shitty it was.
…Anyway, back to the story, why is Kim Joo-hyuk telling this story now?
Wow!
It was because it had been a long time since he had been attacked by surprise.
And that too to quite a few people within Valhalla.
and.
“Off-”
“Huh? Don’t move? “Tap, tap, tap!”
Bye!
“Kwaaaak!”
Currently, the people who attacked Kim Joo-hyuk were all pinned to the ground and trees.
Just one person.
Except for the man who fell asleep right in front of Kim Joo-hyuk.
‘You’ve come a long way.’
Kim Joo-hyuk turned his gaze away from the man who was lying on the ground and looked around at the remaining attackers.
Even if you look at it, it’s a pretty large number.
However, bringing in this number of people could not do anything to Kim Joo-hyuk.
Of course, I don’t know if it was in the past when he hadn’t yet absorbed the storage stone, but at least the current Kim Joo-hyuk has grown to the point where there is nothing he can do with this number of people.
Therefore, Kim Joo-hyuk, who lightly dealt with those who attacked him, looked at them and continued to think for a while, then smiled and spoke.
“So it’s a trick?”
“…Kuh-!”
A man who just groans and glares at himself but doesn’t say anything.
Kim Joo-hyuk laughed and said.
“I wonder why and how you knew?”
“….”
“As far as I know, there are three or four places that I have bad relations with, and two of them are places where there are assholes who pump out black magic power.”
“….”
“But you don’t seem to use black magic. “I don’t think he’s a villain, so there’s only one answer?”
“Fuck…fuck.”
A man frowning at Kim Joo-hyuk’s words.
however.
“But by the time I realized it, it was too late…!”
“Why are you late?”
Kim Joo-hyuk soon asked back at the man’s words.
“It seems like the head of the family is already willing to risk loss of honor in order to kill you…!”
The man said that and smiled strangely even in a painful situation.
“bye…!!”
“!”
bang-!!
Without any warning, he unleashed the magic power in his body.
A magical explosion occurred so quickly that Kim Joo-hyuk was unable to react.
Kim Joo-hyuk immediately tried to use his magic power, but the magic explosion that had already exploded without warning engulfed the surroundings before he could react.
The next moment.
“…?”
Kim Joo-hyuk realized that he had not been harmed but had been transported in space.
And that too in a very large cavity.
and.
“You said I would make you regret it, right?”
Kim Joo-hyuk turned his gaze when he heard a voice in his ear as he was assessing the situation.
“…How are you?”
When Kim Joo-hyuk saw Adelia Bentrick standing in front of him with a confident expression, he quickly turned his gaze again and took stock of his surroundings.
What we could confirm once again was that this was a huge cavity.
The next thing that could be confirmed was that there were a very large number of contractors in this cavity who were watching them.
‘…I think it would be ridiculous to surpass 100.’
With the number easily exceeding one hundred, Kim Joo-hyuk soon finished understanding the situation and opened his mouth with an expression of bewilderment.
“Is this completely crazy?”
“…Crazy bitch?”
“Isn’t a bitch who makes her subordinates self-destruct to get a target crazy?”
Kim Joo-hyuk’s sarcasm.
However, she still opened her mouth without wiping the smile off her face.
“Isn’t it true that a purpose requires some sacrifice?”
“You’re being damned. Then you should sacrifice yourself. Why are you sacrificing your subordinates?”
“As long as they belong to the Ventric family, they are like my hands and feet. “It’s up to me to use it however I want.”
“and.”
Kim Joo-hyuk was impressed by her words without realizing it and answered.
“Is this complete trash?”
I don’t mean to be sarcastic, but Kim Joo-hyuk really thought that way.
That’s because, in Kim Joo-hyuk’s eyes, Adelia Bentrick seemed to have no regard for her subordinate’s life as much as a fly.
However, despite Kim Joo-hyuk’s abusive language, Adelia Bentrick smiled and opened her mouth.
“Speak earnestly, because now is the only opportunity for you to speak anyway.”
At Adelia Bentrick’s words, the contractors who had been looking at Kim Joo-hyuk began to take out their various weapons.
Someone is a knife.
Anyone can do it too.
Someone’s spear.
Somebody bows.
In addition, weapons that Kim Joo-hyuk knew about were being taken into the hands of contractors, and Kim Joo-hyuk, who had been looking at this for a while, smiled and spoke.
“It’s so fucking sick that the entire Bentrick family is rushing in to catch one student.”
“Is there anything more to say?”
“Is this the end?”
As Kim Joo-hyuk chuckled and looked around, Adelia Bentrick smiled and said.
“Don’t worry, even if you take on this many people all by yourself, there’s something waiting for you next.”
Sigh.
“Because this is it.”
She said that and took out a dagger.
A dagger with a very black color that does not look ordinary to anyone.
“Congratulations, what you are looking at right now is something that even collaterals of the Ventrick family have a hard time seeing.”
“Is it some fucking awesome weapon or something? “You’re not confident that you can kill me just because you have a good weapon, right?”
“Of course not. If I had thought that way, I wouldn’t have gathered this many people.”
Adelia Bentrick answered Kim Joo-hyuk’s question and smiled.
“This is a relic containing the guardian constellation of our Ventric family.”
“…Relic?”
“Yes, and if you win, you will be able to receive the power of our great constellation of the Ventric family with your own eyes.”
therefore.
“Just try your best.”
Adelia Bentrick is bragging about what she has prepared as if she has already won.
Kim Joo-hyuk clicked his tongue, looked around, and thought.
‘I’m sure I prepared thoroughly.’
Compared to the minor troubles that have plagued Kim Joo-hyuk so far, Adelia Bentrick seemed to have prepared very thoroughly.
The number of contractors surrounding Kim Joo-hyuk right now is also huge. Above all, it didn’t seem like they were half-skilled people.
Of course, even if that were the case, it wouldn’t be even close to Kim Joo-hyuk, but the problem is that there are too many of those guys.
It was only possible for the strength of an individual to overcome the strength of numbers if there was a huge difference in many ways.
In short, the current situation is not a very good one for Kim Joo-hyuk.
however.
‘When have I ever had an advantage in a fight?’
Kim Joo-hyuk began to raise his magic power by twisting the corner of his mouth.
In any case, there were not many cases in Kim Joo-hyuk’s life where he fought in a situation where he had the advantage.
When he first took up the sword to escape from slavery, he fought against many, and even after he began to roll in that lawless zone in earnest, he fought many fights at a very disadvantage.
Therefore, he was not particularly shaken by the fact that the current situation was unfavorable.
Anyway, even in any unfavorable situation, Kim Joo-hyuk survived in the end.
Kuggggggukgeuk-!!
As Kim Joo-hyuk develops magical power, the contractors surrounding him begin to increase their magical power.
Cough!
Unlike before, Kim Joo-hyuk began to unleash a yellow magical power that he had never seen before, as if he didn’t mind knowing that they belonged to the Ventrick family.
In an instant, the dark cavity burst into pure white and golden light.
Contractors rushing in with him.
Contractors holding various weapons in each hand surrounded him on all sides and began to rush toward Kim Joo-hyuk.
and.
Everyone stopped.
“…?”
It was not a metaphor or analogy.
Literally all the contractors who were rushing towards Kim Joo-hyuk just a moment ago just stopped.
Someone stopped while running while holding a sword.
One person was about to swing a spear sharply, while
another person was about to jump into the sky and throw a dagger but stopped at that moment.
In addition, there were people who stopped with their wands raised as if they were chanting magic behind them.
The person who was preparing to shoot an arrow according to the situation also stopped before he could string his bow.
The contractors who were about to do something to Kim Joo-hyuk stopped as if time had stopped.
Kim Joo-hyuk looked at that.
“…??”
I felt confused.
This was because the phenomenon that occurred now was not caused by Kim Joo-hyuk.
“My body… isn’t moving…!”
One of the contractors who was rushing toward Kim Joo-hyuk as if speaking was difficult raised his voice with difficulty, but no one responded.
This was because everyone in this community except Kim Joo-hyuk had all their freedoms tied down by someone at this moment.
Even.
‘Why… my body…!!!’
Even Adelia Bentrick, who was trying to watch Kim Joo-hyuk’s final moments behind him, felt that her body was being restrained and made an expression of incomprehension.
and.
When everyone was in confusion, the black dagger in Adelia Ventrick’s hand and the magic stone she had prepared began to glow.
soon.
[Beak Mask asks in a trembling voice, ‘Master?’]
A notification window appeared in front of Kim Joo-hyuk’s eyes.
