The Constellations Are My Disciples - Chapter 72

◈ Episode 72 Can the King of the Deep in the Snow defeat the God of War? (2)

The bet between Kim Joo-hyuk and Seol Yeon-hwa was, in fact, clear to anyone who would win or lose.

That’s because everyone knows that it’s impossible for an ordinary human to defeat the Constellation.

Of course, Kim Joo-hyuk is so strong that the word ‘ordinary’ does not fit, but he has not yet regained the strength of his past life.

In a word, Kim Joo-hyuk knows that he cannot defeat the Constellation in reality.

So why did Kim Joo-hyuk make such a bet with Seol Yeon-hwa?

Because you don’t like her?

Or because she messed with Kim Joo-hyuk’s temper?

No, it was neither.

The reason why Kim Joo-hyuk personally placed an impossible bet was because he was confident that he would beat the constellation.

‘In this world of images, not reality.’

Image world.

Kim Joo-hyuk was able to hear about this world of images from the Sword King.

Since the world of images does not involve using the physical body in any way, it means that you can use your power as you perceive it.

Of course, it is a very natural thing to say, but even if it is true in theory, it is not possible to enter the world of images and wield invincible power.

Although the main premise was ‘if you change your perception’, a person’s perception is not that easily changed.

This was even more so in the case of contractors, and conversely, the same was true for constellations.

Because they knew their own limitations very well.

Of course, Kim Joo-hyuk cannot manipulate his own perception as he pleases.

Although it is quite obvious, Kim Joo-hyuk was not a genius in this respect.

However, the situation he was experiencing was unique.

He was a reincarnation from a world 300 years ago.

Although he lived the life of Kim Joo-hyuk, he actually lived for a longer period of time under the name Kim Hyeon-oh, 300 years ago.

in short.

When he was in the world of imagination, Kim Joo-hyuk was able to become the person he was, 300 years ago, who was praised under the name of Musin.

Because Kim Joo-hyuk was Kim Hyun-oh.

When Kim Joo-hyuk felt the strength he had regained for the first time in a while and was smiling.

‘…But now that I think about it, that Barce guy’s strength changes based on cognition anyway, so why was he so weak?’

For a moment, such a thought passed through Kim Joo-hyuk’s mind, but his worries did not last long.

Currently, in front of him, the constellation ‘King Deep in the Snow’, who had just risen from his seat, was looking at Kim Joo-hyuk.

Deep king in the snow.

He had a pretty good reputation even 300 years ago, when the world was half destroyed.

His name was so famous that no one knew about it, at least in the area where he was active.

His name instilled fear in the wicked.

He had such great power that his name was praised as a hero by some and he had a great reputation.

However, no matter how famous and powerful he was, his reputation was not comparable to that of a military god.

Martial God.

It was a word that anyone could pronounce and anyone could utter lightly.

Ironically, it was such a heavy word that no one could easily pronounce it or say it out loud.

Why?

Because there was only one person who was allowed to use that word 300 years ago.

okay.

There was only one person.

Only one person could use that word.

I could refer to myself with that word.

Of course, when someone hears something like that now, they think, ‘Isn’t that too arrogant?’ You could have asked the question.

However, in response to such a question, the deep king in the eyes could naturally shake his head.

Because he had seen the strength of Martial God right in front of him.

Although 300 years had already passed and it seemed blurry and faded, the scene still remained vivid to him.

The sky was purple, as if the world would soon be destroyed.

Below, acrid smoke coming from all directions is eating away at the destroyed city.

The last thing you see is a monster.

I thought it was absolutely impossible for him to deal with it alone.

Even if all the hunters who were with him gathered together to fight against each other, waves of huge monsters that seemed like they would never be able to defeat them were rushing towards them.

A hopeless situation.

He appeared in such a hopeless situation.

With very light steps.

Holding a dark-colored sword in his hand.

and.

With that one sword he performed miracles.

An unbelievable miracle that he could never have imagined.

It’s just one swing.

okay. No special skills or

cool abilities.

Also, it is not something that is grotesquely subversive or horrifyingly innocent.

It was just one swing.

It is impossible to express anything more than that. The martial arts sword I saw at that time was just a single swing.

But with that one swing, he was able to see a miracle before his eyes.

The wave of monsters that they thought they couldn’t stop even if they all worked together was destroyed in an instant.

Having witnessed such an absurd miracle right in front of him, he shook his head when asked whether the expression ‘Musin’ was an exaggeration.

Also, that’s why.

“Ha ha ha ha ha…!!”

He couldn’t show an ounce of doubt that the man in front of him was really a ‘God of War’.

This clear magic he was feeling now must have been the same martial spirit he had felt before.

how? A question passed through his mind.

At the same time, the strangeness of this situation also passed through his mind.

Because he didn’t know how this situation came about.

However, just by seeing him in front of me, the situation seemed to no longer matter to him.

“Why are you laughing?”

A voice heard.

The king, deep in his eyes, raised his head and looked at Kim Joo-hyuk.

Kim Joo-hyuk is looking at him with a light smile.

Apparently, when he first saw Kim Joo-hyuk’s smile, he thought he was ‘cheeky’ and also ‘arrogant’.

But not anymore.

“Ha….”

Of course.

It was natural for him.

Or rather, the Holy See might have been grateful that Kim Joo-hyuk did not burst into laughter.

Son Goku running wild on the palm of Buddha.

Because what I am now is nothing more or less.

“I didn’t know that the person receiving the evaluation would be turned upside down.”

The words of the king deep in his eyes answer softly.

Kim Joo-hyuk responded to that.

“You’re smart.”

At that one word, the King in the Deep Eyes smiled and began to raise his blue magic power in earnest, and then,

hehe!

At the same time that blue magic began to gather around him, Kim Joo-hyuk also began to gather his magic around him as if it was fun.

“!”

The immense pressure that comes with it.

The enormous presence that could be felt through the mere act of raising mana in earnest seemed to be weighing down his mind and body.

The sensation he felt just by looking directly at the god of war radiating magical power could have brought him despair.

Sigh-!

On the contrary, the King in the Deep Snow unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth at the tremendous pressure he felt.

If you ask me why, it’s because I had an opportunity to check myself.

In the past 300 years, since he became a Constellation, he has not been able to fight in any significant way.

In the end, he was stripped of his name and existed as a constellation trapped in a holy relic.

However, that did not mean he neglected his training.

Instead, he spent more time practicing while inside the relic than before.

Of course, he has been stripped of his name and his body no longer exists.

All that remains is his spirit within the relic.

In short, he knew well that training would not actually make him stronger.

But despite this, he continued his training.

Why did you continue training?

There was no special reason for it.

There was also no great cause.

He just wanted to become a little stronger.

That is why he continued to practice steadily even after more than 300 years.

“after.”

Thanks to that, he came to one realization.

Of course, there was no significant change in him, who had no body.

However, he was able to touch ‘cognition’ through endless training.

Cognition in this world of images.

By recognizing that he had become stronger through training, he was clearly moving forward in this world of images.

so that.

‘can win…!’

He twitched the corners of his mouth as he looked at Kim Joo-hyuk standing in front of him.

Although his appearance had changed slightly, Musin was still smiling at himself as he was 300 years ago.

That incredible pressure.

At the same time, there is a feeling of despair.

It clearly indicates that he is a martial artist.

However, unlike him who stopped 300 years ago, he clearly moved forward.

For a long period of 300 years, he did not stand still but clearly moved forward no matter what anyone said.

so that.

He was able to smile even in the midst of this goosebump-inducing pressure of magic.

“Woo-!”

At the same time as he smiled, he began to scatter the magical power he had gathered in all directions.

and.

“…!”

With him, the world where there was nothing began to change.

Pure white snow begins to fill the bare floor.

Snow piled up between Kim Joo-hyuk and him, as if it had just fallen, and perhaps even had a slightly warm feel to it.

The next thing you see is a huge mountain.

A mountain covered in pure white snow begins to appear near Kim Joo-hyuk and the constellation.

In this way, what took shape before Kim Joo-hyuk’s eyes was a very vast snow field.

Kim Joo-hyuk suddenly realized that he was standing on a snowy field.

Soon he turned his gaze to the voice he heard and looked at the king deep in his eyes.

“This is so unfortunate. I didn’t expect it, but I couldn’t reveal my name because it was taken away from such an important position. So-”

Kuuuugeuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

“-It’s really unfortunate this time, but I’ll introduce myself with a special title.”

He began to gather his magic power again and began to open his mouth with a smile that seemed genuinely amused.

“The people who worshiped me called me ‘Nansin.’”

A cold chill began to rush around him.

“On the other hand, those who were afraid of me called me ‘Snow Ghost.’”

The cold chill that started pouring in soon began to flow around him and freeze the huge snow field that was covered with snow.

“So people-” When

the swirling cold went up his body, turning his skin white and soon creating blue ice crystals around him.

“They called me the Snow God.”

Kim Joo-hyuk realized that the snowy field was frozen.

“!”

At the same time.

Wow!

He realized that Seolnanshin had rushed in front of him.
