Chapter 258

Choi Yeonseung looked over in a bewildered manner.

The One Who Understands and Penetrates Through Indeterminate Forms. It was a case where a monster wandering around outside the Abyss had gained an enormous amount of power and had become a constellation.

However, those constellations usually didn’t last long.

In many cases, they couldn’t objectively evaluate their own strength. They often went on a rampage due to a sense of achievement from having just become a constellation, only to be defeated by a much stronger constellation.

Choi Yeonseung was quite a rare case, as he was a constellation of human origin who had lived cautiously. Furthermore, he hadn’t even known that he had become a constellation.

Normally, newborn constellations went on a rampage according to instinct.

The One Who Understands and Penetrates Through Indeterminate Forms was also like this. It had emerged and spread terror everywhere the moment it had discovered Earth!

By doing so, it incurred the wrath of the constellation who had first come to Earth. This newborn constellation attracted aggro to the point where other constellations put a bounty on it. This should’ve been the end of this constellation.

However, it persisted. With Choi Yeonseung’s help, he now had the means to take revenge on the collector constellation for inciting his impulse.

Then right now—

The constellation of understanding revealed itself.

Crown Collector! Come out! Come out and face me!!

The monster, which looked like a giant slime, screamed as it came out of the lake.

‘Was it a slime?’

The constellation of understanding possessed the power of existence, but it was merely at the level of a low-grade constellation. It was even weaker than Choi Yeonseung’s.

In the eyes of higher ranking constellations, such as the collector constellation, the constellation of understanding was less than an insignificant opponent...

However, it was poor timing for the collector constellation, as he was facing the angel constellation, and he was also involved in a constellation battle. This made it hard for him to properly fight the new enemy that had just emerged, even if it was no more than a fledgling.

You are afraid, you coward! Uhahahahaha!

‘Isn’t it quite amazing?’

Choi Yeonseung was genuinely impressed, for he realized what the constellation of understanding had planned. He had been wondering who supported the Knights of the Holy Temple, and now it became clear that it was the constellation of understanding. By controlling and comforting those crazy people, the constellation of understanding had succeeded in creating a path for itself to come out directly.

Choi Yeonseung had wondered why the Knights of the Holy Temple were causing trouble here with only a handful of people...

-No matter what, this is too much damage.

The goddess of sloth clicked her tongue as she witnessed the rampage of the young constellation. Of course, it was doing this because it had nothing to lose, but it was highly disadvantageous for a constellation to make a direct appearance like this.

The only thing left after using up such a huge amount of the power of existence would be the pleasure gained from exacting its revenge. No other constellation would’ve done something like this.

‘It must be very angry.’

The constellation of understanding had been deceived by the collector constellation, and now it was properly avenging itself.

The collector constellation, who couldn’t be here because of the constellation battle, was now on the verge of losing his mind due to anger.

-Stop, constellation! I won’t allow any further disturbances.

Garhansha spoke in a cold tone.

The huge slime, which was about to blow up its surroundings, slowly turned its body at the vampire’s words.

Are you talking to me now?

-Yes. My master has ordered me to defend this city. It’s hard to believe that a constellation has secretly plotted this and emerged in a place full of citizens. Don’t you know shame?

No, I don’t...?

-What...?

Garhansha was appalled by the opponent’s lack of decency. It normally would’ve been advantageous to have such a conversation with a brazen opponent. To Garhansha, who had been a vampire noble for a long time, the constellation that had awakened after living as a slime for most of its life just seemed like a violent and powerful beast.

Your incessant talking is just like the buzzing of a weak mosquito! If you want to stop me, then go ahead and try. You’re just running your mouth... Are you scared? Are you a coward?

-Fine. Let’s fight!

Garhansha furiously drew his weapon.

[Garhansha has used ‘Protection of True Blood’.]

The red energy floating around Garhansha enveloped and turned him into red mist. The mist then instantly expanded and engulfed the constellation of understanding.

Garhansha was attempting to suck the blood of the constellation!

[Corrupts the opponent with the power of shadows. The corrupted opponents will become your puppets.]

Choi Yeonseung knew how to use the power of existence, which meant that the constellation powers used by him were on a different level from those used by household members.

A shadow instantly enveloped the hunters, completely engulfing them. There was a sense of collision between two minds, as the will of the collector constellation first tried to interfere with Choi Yeonseung’s will...

However, Choi Yeonseung was a constellation. The will implanted by the collector constellation in the hunters couldn’t stop him. In an instant, the shadow army crossed over to Choi Yeonseung’s side.

-W-What’s going on??

-We... How?

“Who was the guy who cursed at me earlier for being Asian?”

-I-It wasn’t our will, it was the evil constellation...

“I don’t think the constellation taught you how to swear. Your inner thoughts popped out, didn’t they? You must’ve been thinking that on your own, right?”

-That’s not what’s important right now! London is in danger!

‘They’re good at changing the topic.’

Despite Choi Yeonseung’s anger, the hunters were right. The enraged slime was growing bigger and bigger and threatening to blow up the city.

“I have to get a holy relic first. Do you know where I can find one?”

-Holy relic? If you’re talking about that stuff that the evil constellation is hiding, it’s not this way. It’s in the tomb of Westminster Abbey.

Westminster Abbey. It was one of the most famous cathedrals of England and had been the burial place of many royals and heroes. Since the collector constellation liked things with historical value, it was almost compulsory for him to choose this place for hiding the holy relic.

...Of course, Choi Yeonseung wasn’t particularly interested in it.

“The collector constellation played a petty trick. Why would he put them there? No matter. The explanation is over. Tell me where it is.”

-Don’t you know Westminster Abbey? No matter how much of a hillbilly you are...

Bam!

“The next guy.”

-...Over there! I’ll guide you!

***

As the disturbance grew, the Londoners got restless and went outside. No matter how strict the orders of a constellation were, it was impossible not to come outside when there was a fight that threatened to collapse the sky.

“Is... Is that a constellation?”

“Will we be released if the constellation wins?”

People whispered among themselves with confused expressions. They knew they were under the control of the collector constellation, but they also didn’t know who the new slime monster was.

Bang!

Suddenly, Garhansha flew backwards and coughed up blood from the impact. He then cried out.

-Constellation, what are you doing? Are you going to kill the mortals here?!

Garhansha fought against the constellation in a way that wouldn’t damage their surroundings. After all, each of these souls belonged to his master. However, there was no reason for the constellation of understanding to care about such things. It spoke to Garhansha in a mocking tone.

What do you know?

-Really...!

Garhansha was outraged by how undignified this constellation was. The collector constellation was arrogant and childish, but not to the extent of this slime constellation. Garhansha was going to stop the monster even if it cost his life!

“Hey. Let’s fight together.”

Garhansha was surprised to hear this proposal coming from Choi Yeonseung.

-You actually mean that?

“If we don’t join forces, everyone here will die.”

Garhansha was deeply moved by Choi Yeonseung’s words. To think that the enemy fighting in the constellation battle would participate in the fight for this honor.

‘This is truly amazing!’

Of course, Garhansha didn’t think that Choi Yeonseung had already come out with the holy relic.

-Good! Let’s fight together, honorable human!
