The Constellations Are My Disciples - Chapter 93
◈ Episode 93. Let’s borrow a little and use it. (2)
Hong Gui, who regained his name as the constellation of Bae Hu-seong and appeared in the body of ‘Lester’, was truly at his peak.
Unlike when he had a tinnitus, from the moment he regained his ‘name’, he gained the power to go beyond staying as a constellation and freely appear on earth as long as he had a body.
Thanks to that, as soon as Hong Gui regained the name given to him from above, he took Lester’s body and appeared.
He was destroying the Hero Academy, which was a ‘background’ and the target of his contractor.
So, is Hong Gui acting for Bae Hu-seong’s purpose?
That wasn’t it again.
Because Hong Gui just wanted to wield power.
okay.
There was no such thing as a grand cause or purpose for Hong Gui.
The only reason he was destroying the Hero Academy like this was because he wanted to wield his power to the limit.
Lester, the original owner of this body, had a habit of talking about ‘Hero Academy’, so he was destroying the academy for that reason alone.
And for Hong Gui, the process was pretty good.
No, it was better than okay.
Attacking the academy and killing the attacking contractors was a different level of fun than when I was alone in relieving my boredom while trapped inside an unreal relic.
That’s why Hong Gui was in a good mood.
Yeah, until just now.
“What is yours?”
Hong Gui frowned as he looked at the man who suddenly appeared.
Because the man looks strong?
no.
The man standing in front of me didn’t look strong enough to be considered strong at all.
That’s because the man didn’t feel any magic or energy.
Nevertheless, there was one reason why Hong Gui frowned as he looked at the man.
“Who is your guy?”
It was that the man knew his identity.
Hong Gui’s question was filled with blatant hostility.
Looking at Hong Gui, who turned around and looked at the man as if Beck, who had already been strangling him a little while ago, was not even paying attention, Kim Joo-hyuk grinned and raised his magic power.
and-
“!!”
Hong Gui was astonished as he watched the magical energy being drawn from his body.
“This…!”
Hong Gui knew this magical power.
No, he didn’t just know; he remembered this magic very clearly.
That’s because the magic that is now being drawn from that man, Kim Joo-hyuk, was the magic he felt from the person who took his life.
Hong Gui’s face changes suddenly.
A sly smile is drawn on Kim Joo-hyuk’s lips.
“What, do you have PTSD?”
Kim Joo-hyuk’s playful voice.
Hong Gui opened his eyes and looked at him closely, but no matter how he looked, he was not the man who took his life 300 years ago.
However, the magic power flowing from him now was correct.
I was sure.
Because Hong Gui still couldn’t forget that scene.
“Yes…how could you…!”
That’s why the voice that comes out of Hong Gui’s mouth.
At that, Kim Joo-hyuk still smiled and pulled out the village sword, and as soon as he saw the silent sword being pulled out, Hong Gui’s eyes frowned.
But after some time has passed.
Sigh.
“?”
Hong Gui, whose expression had been stiff all along, suddenly smiled and opened his mouth.
“It looks like your guy doesn’t still have that power.”
“….”
Seeing Kim Joo-hyuk looking at him in silence, Hong-gwi began to open his mouth as if he had gained confidence.
Boom!
In an instant, he jumped in front of Kim Joo-hyuk and slammed his fist down.
Kim Joo-hyuk immediately turns his body to the side to avoid it.
However, seeing that, Hong Gui opened his mouth, twisting the corner of his mouth as if he was even more convinced.
“okay…! Obviously, that magic power is the same magic power that I remembered, but you-” “
….”
“-You’ve become weak?”
Hong-gwi speaks with the same bizarre smile as before, as if he had just figured out the truth.
And with him.
Boom!
Honggui’s attack began again.
The nervousness from a moment ago was nowhere to be seen on Hong Gui’s face.
Rather, unlike just before, he seemed to find this situation very pleasant, and began to exert pressure on Kim Joo-hyuk in earnest.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Hong Gui suddenly speeds up and swings his fist at Kim Joo-hyuk, as if the speed just a moment ago was a joke.
Every time his fist hits, the floor explodes.
Every time his fist hits the building, pieces of concrete fly.
Truly a power that goes beyond ignorance.
However, Kim Joo-hyuk was dodging all of Hong Gui’s attacks.
‘What on earth… what?’
Beck, whose life had been threatened by Hong Gui just a moment ago, was looking at the situation with an expression that seemed completely incomprehensible.
That’s because Beck knew Kim Joo-hyuk.
Kim Joo-hyuk, a first-year student at Valhalla Academy.
Beck had no idea why he was here.
However, I have known since the school competition that he was special.
Because what he accomplished was definitely not something that a single student could accomplish.
Moreover, the video of Kim Joo-hyuk filmed during the disaster that occurred in Korea not long ago served as an opportunity to solidify Beck’s thoughts.
Because Kim Joo-hyuk’s force shown in that video could not possibly be seen as that of a student.
But that doesn’t mean that.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
‘You’re dealing with me…? Constellations…?’
Beck could never have imagined that Kim Joo-hyuk would be such a monster.
Because what Kim Joo-hyuk is currently dealing with is a manifested constellation.
Of course, someone might look at that appearance and treat Hong Gui as just a monster.
Just before being killed by Hong Gui, he confirmed that his constellation, ‘Explosive Maniac Who Loves Art’, had popped up a notification window saying that it was the constellation that Hong Gui had manifested.
In short, Hong Gui was a real constellation, so Beck was shocked to see Kim Joo-hyuk.
Meanwhile, the fight continued.
Boom!
Hong Gui’s fist moves so fast that it is not even visible to the eye, trying to hit Kim Joo-hyuk.
However, Kim Joo-hyuk had already dodged Hong Gui’s invisible fists more than a dozen times.
‘Other contractors could only block a few punches…!’
Beck was astonished at the movement that went far beyond the contractor.
That too for a while.
Grumble! Wow!!!
“ah…!”
A pitiful exclamation burst from Beck’s mouth as he was looking at Kim Joo-hyuk.
The reason is because of the fireworks that suddenly exploded from Hong Gui’s body.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!
While swinging his fist at Kim Joo-hyuk, the flames that suddenly burst out of Hong-gwi’s body instantly spread around him and caused a huge explosion.
Kim Joo-hyuk was caught up in the explosion.
‘Even if you’re strong…!’
As he watched the flames spreading in all directions, with their red tongues flicking as if they were going to burn everything down, he felt pity and despair and was reminded of one fact.
The fact is that humans can never defeat the Constellation.
It was a very natural fact.
Because the gap between an individual human and a constellation is so huge.
That’s why Beck looked at Hong Gui, who was twisting the corner of his mouth with an empty expression, in bewilderment.
That moment.
“!”
Beck was able to see Kim Joo-hyuk.
Kim Joo-hyuk, who is clearly holding the sword unharmed in the midst of an explosion so intense that even he who is far away has his skin turning red.
Hong Gui’s expression frowned at that.
Kim Joo-hyuk looked at Hong Gui and thought.
‘It’s definitely different than before.’
Of course, the other person is not Hong Gui, but himself.
‘I became weak.’
Although he originally knew it, Kim Joo-hyuk once again realized that fact.
The fact that I am still very weak compared to my previous life.
Of course, his body is growing faster than expected, but there is a huge difference between his prime and now.
The proof is that as of now, Kim Joo-hyuk has not been able to land a single proper blow on Hong Gui and has only dodged it.
So, is there any way for Kim Joo-hyuk to beat Hong Gui right now?
It wasn’t that again.
In the first place, Kim Joo-hyuk wasn’t an idiot who forcefully started a fight he couldn’t win.
That’s why Kim Joo-hyuk has already prepared a way to beat Hong Gui.
“Wow, it looks really hard, doesn’t it? “I just released a little bit of my power?”
While I was thinking that, I heard Hong Gui’s voice.
Kim Joo-hyuk laughed and spoke at the sight of him openly mocking Kim Joo-hyuk with a smile as thick as his mouth would split.
“Are you very excited?”
“of course! “I get pleasure from tormenting someone who is weaker than me…!”
“okay? Do you really think so?”
At the same time, magical power begins to flow out of Kim Joo-hyuk’s body.
“Of course-!”
Hong Gui was still smiling and tried to speak, but then stopped.
That was because the magical energy flowing from Kim Joo-hyuk’s body was different from before.
Coog play-!
Unlike before, the magical power that had always been circling around Kim Joo-hyuk began to spread in all directions.
At the same time, the magic power that was flowing out at increased density suddenly began to turn purple.
The magic power, which began to show a strange color as if purple paint had been dropped on the transparent magic power, quickly began to consume the surrounding flames.
“Is that…?”
Beck could not help but be astonished as he felt the magic power flowing from Kim Joo-hyuk.
That was because the magic power flowing out of him now was a magic power that could never come from Kim Joo-hyuk.
At least as far as he knows, that unique, magical purple magic power is –
“The master behind the scenes…!”
-Because it was the magic power of the actual owner of the market and the mastermind behind the vast world that he alone controlled.
When Beck looks at Kim Joo-hyuk with silent astonishment.
When Hong Gui saw that Kim Joo-hyuk’s hand was heading for the sword, he instinctively stiffened his body and took a defensive stance.
If the person in front of him was not Kim Joo-hyuk, he would have rushed at him, but Hong-gwi, who already had memories from 300 years ago, was wary no matter how weak he was.
Therefore, Hong Gui did not move hastily, but instead took a defensive stance by increasing the distance from Kim Joo-hyuk a little more.
The moment Kim Joo-hyuk’s left hand touched the handle of the sword.
Tsk-!
Hong Gui saw.
The sight of Kim Joo-hyuk getting his feet checked.
A sword with tremendous speed that clearly does not match his physical abilities.
However, Hong Gui frowned at Kim Joo-hyuk’s foot-slamming.
Even though I saw the moment of the foot sword, there was nothing in particular about the foot sword.
The sword energy that had killed him before was not flying.
Rather, it was not Kim Joo-hyuk who rushed at him.
Just a kick in the spot.
That was all Kim Joo-hyuk did.
however.
Tuk.
“…ah?”
I heard something fall to the ground.
The next moment.
Wow!
“!!”
He realized that his right arm had been cut off.
