The Constellation Returned From Hell

Chapter 101

It was obviously Hwang Gyeongryong’s account. He was so popular that he had over tens of millions of followers! The moment Hwang Gyeongryong spoke, many people responded with things like, ‘Ambitus is good, but it isn’t the best,’ and ‘Isn’t he too cocky?’?He could understand why Hwang Gyeongryong was doing this.

‘The Ambitus bastards bribed the measurer to try to steal me.’

From Hwang Gyeongryong’s point of view, that was several times more offensive! Nevertheless, it was hard to believe he was picking a fight like this.

Was this okay?

Smallwood murmured in admiration, “As expected of Dragon Hwang. He is the best in social media usage.”

“... This is the best?”

“Why not? It draws a lot of attention. Think of how many hunters will gather to clear the dungeon. You have to do this much to stand out among them, friend.”

Hwang Gyeongryong could shake the world just by appearing on social media once. He had the reputation of an S-grade hunter. Hence, every last one of his words was hot. There was a reason why so many people were excited! He also had a huge chaebol group. Moreover, many hunters didn’t dare fight him.

In fact, the Ambitus clan and their hunters kept their mouths shut even though Hwang Gyeongryong tried to argue with them. If they argued back, things would only become bigger!

“Uhhh… Hey... There’s one stupid bastard.”

“?”

“Must be a newcomer. The insult to Ambitus made him mad.”

@Ambi_Forever

-Is it right for a ■ing?S-grade hunter to pick a fight like this? The name of an S-grade hunter has become worthless. If you haven’t attacked dungeons in years, then shouldn’t you retire? What a waste of taxes. I don’t even know if you can still fight because you are so old.

It hadn’t been long since this person joined the Ambitus clan, so he didn’t know the rules! It was already over the moment he reacted to Hwang Gyeongryong.

@Dragon_Hwang

-You dare disrespect me and say I don’t qualify for S-grade?

@Ambi_Forever

-......

The other person fell silent out of embarrassment. He didn’t expect that a famous hunter like Hwang Gyeongryong would speak to him directly. Thinking Hwang Gyeongryong wouldn’t deal with him himself considering the former’s reputation, he pretended to be strong…

@Dragon_Hwang

-Are you a member of the Ambitus clan? Why don’t you fight me? I’ll show you if I can still fight. Grab your weapon and come out.

Countless people cheered for Hwang Gyeongryong.

-Disrespecting Dragon Hwang? That young hunter must be crazy.

-If it wasn’t for Dragon Hwang, monsters would’ve already killed your parents in the past.

-Do you know how many monsters Dragon Hwang has killed? What type of bastard did the Ambitus clan recruit?

Hwang Gyeongryong was an S-grade hunter with numerous achievements in the United States. No matter how crazy Hwang Gyeongryong was, there was a reason why he was loved. In the end, his opponent apologized.

@Ambi_Forever

-...I was wrong.

After winning, Hwang Gyeongryong leisurely left a message.

@Dragon_Hwang

-The Icarus clan that I raised is going to clear the dungeon that the Airst clan failed to clear.

-Icarus? That’s a clan of aces. They don’t accept anyone below B-grade.

-That’s different from all the clans with inflated numbers, isn’t it?

-Out of the Icarus clan’s hunters, pay special attention to Choi Yeonseung. He was amazing in the UHC, but he will be even better in the dungeon.

“......”

Choi Yeonseung was shocked. What was that man doing?

The other hunters looked at Choi Yeonseung with envy.

“Wow, Dragon Hwang is promoting you. I’m really envious.”

“I wish he would talk about me like that.”

“...I think I’m the only sane person on this plane.”

***

A dungeon gate had appeared on the east coast of the United States, not far from New York, Long Beach.

“Looking at the door, it’s rated B-grade. However, the Airst clan has failed, so we shouldn’t underestimate it.”

The highest-rated hunter in the Airst clan was B- grade. There wasn’t that much difference between B-grade hunters. What B+ hunters could do, B- hunters could do as well. There had to be a reason a team led by B- grade hunters had been wiped out, but none of the hunters present were intimidated. If they were so easily scared, they wouldn’t have joined the Icarus clan. Hunters thought they were the best in the world. Even if a team led by a B- grade hunter was wiped out, they would think, ‘It would be different if I did it.’

This level of confidence was essential in the industry!

“What is its maximum capacity?”

“Three hundred. There are currently twenty-three people inside it. By the time we arrive, there would likely be around thirty to forty.”

The maximum capacity didn’t mean much at 300. There was no way that many would enter it.

“Ah. I don’t want to bump into anyone in a dungeon.”

“We have to stop them from letting anyone enter the dungeon.”

A few hunters grumbled. If it was their clan’s dungeon, they could take it easy and not pay attention to that. However, in this situation, other hunters could jump into it. Monsters aside, they should also pay attention to the hunters inside the dungeon. Of course, it was now easier to record a video so fewer people did things openly, but just competing was already quite stressful.

‘I want to avoid fighting in the dungeon.’

Choi Yeonseung wanted to stop the evil god constellations, not humans. A meaningless fight should be avoided.

[The ‘Future Sight’ skill has been activated!]

“?”

Choi Yeonseung flinched. The skill he received from the goddess suddenly got activated, causing the future to appear in front of him.

-Traitor! We have a traitor among us!

-Evil god... Some of us have made a contract with an evil god constellation...! Run! It’s a trap!

-Everyone, evacuate! Get out of here!

Hunters covered in blood were running around the dungeon. The vision was short, but Choi Yeonseung managed to grasp the situation.

‘Who dares?’

Among the people coming to clear the dungeon right now, some had signed a contract with an evil god constellation.

[The ‘Cat of Lava and Magma’ says you should be careful. The cat says it can’t help once you’ve entered the dungeon.]

‘This is no different from how I couldn’t get help in the dungeons in the past.’

Dungeons were a completely different space. They even blocked the constellations’ eyes. Hence, the constellations couldn’t help even if they wanted to help! However, that made Choi Yeonseung dozens of times more advantageous.

‘These evil god constellations are... really annoyingly good at using their brains.’

They vowed not to start a full-fledged war, but the evil god constellations constantly tried to circumvent the rules. One of their methods was to tempt the hunters in this way and cause accidents. They instilled fear of the constellations into the people, further strengthening their power of existence.

Choi Yeonseung didn’t intend to let them go. Even the evil god constellation who planned this would’ve never expected it. Right now, a constellation pretending to be a human was about to enter the dungeon!

***

The flight from LA to New York took only a few hours. The hunters spent their time checking their magic and looking at the others who entered the dungeon ahead of them.

“I need some wine. Does anyone want a drink?”

After awakening their magic power, hunters could no longer get drunk with just one or two drinks. It was just light and enjoyable.

Elisabeth pulled out a bottle of Dragon Hunters beer.

‘... Is that also Hyung’s company?’

Dragon + Hunter.

No...

Did he start a beer company as well? Surely not?

“I need a beer. Choi Yeonseung, want one?”

“No.”

“Ah. Is it because of martial arts?”

Martial artists were much more thorough about taking care of their bodies than magicians. All the skills they used were physical skills, and they had to train themselves continuously.

“I looked up a few videos. The old martial artists used to exercise?rigorously?while thoroughly managing their diet, right?”

Elisabeth also underwent physical training as a close-range combatant, but her training’s intensity was different from that of martial artists. Martial artists almost tortured themselves! To develop their martial arts, they would cover themselves in hot sand, whip their skin, and drink nothing but dew for a month...

“Not really, but I did use to feel that way. In the past, I used to enjoy grilled chicken breast, chicken breast slushy made with ground chicken breast, and chicken breast dessert made with ground chicken breast.”

“......”

“......”

The hunters around him were stunned. Wasn’t this crazy?

“Uh, but you cooked such a delicious dish in the mock dungeon last time, didn’t you?”

“Yes. That was just in the past. I’ve changed.”

Now that he was a constellation, there was no point in eating just the chicken breast set. Rather, it was better for his training to find a way to become stronger through new recipes.

“Why don’t you drink, then?”

“In case of muscle loss.”

“......”

“I’m kidding. I just don’t want to stimulate my appetite.”

“Ah. Come to think of it, wasn’t there a Hunter George restaurant in New York?” Antony replied as if he remembered something.

The other hunters cheered in response.

“That place is good!”

“Please make a reservation!”

“Book the whole place so there won’t be anyone else in it!”

A clan employee nodded and checked. “I understand.”

It was the employee’s job to do this. Booking a first-class restaurant was a very easy task.

“Hunter George restaurant?”

It’s one of the most popular restaurants in New York right now. Its owner and chef is a former hunter.” Some hunters changed their jobs to chefs. They brought a new revolution to the restaurant industry with their Magic Cooking, which combined magic and cooking.

Elisabeth also nodded in anticipation. She smacked her fist into the palm of her hand while saying. “I stopped by there before. It was really good. Choi Yeonseung, you’ll probably fall in love with its food’s taste.”

“I’m looking forward to it.”

He was looking forward to learning how to cook rather than the taste. Besides, as a hunter, cooking with magic...

Wouldn’t it be quite helpful for someone like Choi Yeonseung, who started cooking in the Abyss?

[The ‘Cat of Lava and Magma’ asks for a bite as well.]

‘... Alright.’

.

Illeya, who was next to him, tilted her head and softly whispered to Choi Yeonseung, “These people don’t plan... to fight together?”

She was just a rookie when she entered this clan, so she didn’t have anything to talk about. Therefore, she just kept her mouth shut and listened.

“I know.”

He stayed quiet out of fear he would be treated as an old man if he said anything, but to be honest, it was a bit of a shock to Choi Yeonseung. Shouldn’t they talk about their mission and try to figure out a plan before entering a dungeon? Believing only in their skills, the hunter didn’t care about teamwork. Choi Yeonseung, who came from a small and friendly clan, found their behavior extremely shocking.

Was this okay? Things would work out to some extent despite the lack of teamwork for as long as they had skills, but…

Illeya spoke in a low, awkward tone. Her accent sounded unusual and slow because she was unfamiliar with Korean. “Being harsh and scolding... What do you think?”

“Why should I scold them?”

“They’re too rude!”

“...Learning Korean from dramas has this side effect,” Choi Yeonseung muttered before coming to a sudden realization.

Come to think of it, Illeya contracted with an unknown constellation.

… Could it be an evil god constellation?

‘I’m sure they checked it when she was scouted for the clan, but...’

There was nothing absolute in the world. Choi Yeonseung thought he should be careful.
