The Constellation Returned From Hell

Chapter 457

There were other constellations who were skeptical about this.

‘We’re constellations, so do we really need to focus on making money for mortals?’

‘Yeah, that’s what I’m thinking as well. But I don’t want to be hated for saying it, so I’ll keep quiet.’

[The ‘Cat of Lava and Magma’ says that this is an important concern.]

Of course, the cat constellation clapped and cheered.

Many constellations out there generally had no interest in such matters and let their less-intelligent subordinates handle them. After all, why would transcendent beings be interested in the trivial riches of mortals?

‘It’s a bit ominous that the cat constellation alone is excited about this.’

Choi Yeonseung walked away with such a thought.

***

Ganonvial, the lich, was stunned by the constellation’s visit.

He had assumed that his master would have his hands full with the evil god constellations, so his visit coff as a surprise. What was going on?

-Are you asking the undead to work?

Ganonvial thought he had done something wrong.

Choi Yeonseung was essentially giving him a silver coin and asking him to buy a holy sword and a royal armor with at least five copper coins remaining.

Constellations were generally arrogant and violent, and sometimes, when they were stressed out, they would give their household members such impossible tasks.

‘I must’ve done something wrong!’

Ganonvial wasn’t sure what mistake he had made, but he reflected on it for the tbeing. One had to carry out unreasonable tasks every once in a while when working under a constellation.

If anything, the Undefeated Incarnation of Training was quite lenient. Other constellations were being unreasonable on a regular basis.

“That’s right.”

-I understand. I’ll go around the Abyss and find the secret technique.

“??”

Choi Yeonseung was slightly taken aback when he saw the lich trying to leave with a solemn expression.

“Where are you going?”

-I don’t have the secret technique, so I have to search around the infinite Abyss and find where it’s hidden.

“No... Forget it. Besides, that’s not a good method,” Choi Yeonseung said firmly.

He knew from experience that it wasn’t a good idea to just search blindly in the Abyss without a concrete plan.

[The ‘Cat of Lava and Magma’ laughs.]

‘Don’t laugh.’

“I have the secret technique.”

-A-amazing! To think that a non-magician like you has attained such a secret technique...

-I gave him the secret technique...

The goddess of sloth was indignant, but her words didn’t reach the lich.

[The Lich Ganonvial is given the ‘Power to Control the Undead’.]

[Power to Control the Undead.]

[Rank: S

Manipulate the undead with a resonance that directly touches the soul. You can manipulate things in a way that wasn’t possible before.]

The power that the goddess of sloth had found in her distant memories was definitely a good one.

...But Choi Yeonseung got hurt when he forcefully tried to use it.

-Ugh.

-...Successor, I think it’s better to keep using martial arts than to force yourself to use magic.

-No, but why did you make it so hard to use...?

-This power allows you to accomplish something that not even the black magicians in the Abyss can. Of course it’s difficult to use...! Besides, I actually made this one easier to use!

The goddess of sloth was upset.

Normally, it would’ve been much more difficult to control a bunch of undead with magic. However, this particular power was relatively easy to use because the goddess of sloth had created it with her power of existence...

‘Can he use it?’

Choi Yeonseung stared at the lich. If not even Ganonvial managed to use it, he would actually flthe goddess of sloth...

-It’s a fantastic power, Master! Capturing the intricacies of magic circles and processing them like this... I am eternally grateful for allowing a lowly mortal liketo use such a magnificent power! Thank you, Master!

“...I-I see.”

The goddess of sloth cast Choi Yeonseung a look that said, ‘What did I say?’ but he averted his gaze.

Indeed, it was great that it went well...

-Master, the ice man is back.

“Ice man...? Ah, Gyeongryong hyung!”

At first, Choi Yeonseung was puzzled by the orc wearing a straw hat and holding a pitchfork, not knowing what he was talking about. However, he soon realized that he was referring to Hwang Gyeongryong.

“You said he went to pick a new area, right? I am looking forward to it. Let’s take a look.”

***

The fate of the Black Magician Who Shares Everything after failing in his conspiracy was quite pitiful. He fled to the outskirts of the Abyss, and his remaining realms were divided up among the constellations.

The giants sent by the Warrior With a Hammer and the angels of the Six-Winged Angel Who Hunts Dragons were already present in his realm.

“Ho-how pathetic! Instead of descending with dignity, this constellation chose to cowardly disguise himself and engage in trickery!”

“That’s right. That black magician doesn’t even deserve to be called a constellation. Look at the other constellations who took part in the fight! How confident and dignified were they?

“...”

Hwang Gyeongryong swallowed nervously as he heard the conversation of the household members.

‘I can’t let Yeonseung get caught...!’

“Ah, aren’t you a household member of the Undefeated Incarnation of Training?”

“The household member of the Undefeated Incarnation of Training! He’s the household member of an honorable constellation!”

Shousehold members who passed by saw Hwang Gyeongryong and recognized him. Choi Yeonseung’s achievements in this recent battle had already spread to other household members.

“M-my friend Uranta has praised the incarnation of training a lot. ”

“Oh, yes. Illaphael, who normally disregards humans, has also commended one of the household members of the Undefeated Incarnation of Training.”

The household members surrounded Hwang Gyeongryong and praised him as well. He was rather surprised by their reaction. Generally speaking, the best way to get in someone’s good graces was to praise their family members instead of the actual person.

In that regard, Hwang Gyeongryong was pleasantly surprised. These Abyssal creatures knew something!

“Yes! That’s how great Yeonseung is.”

“Uh, is it okay to address him informally like that?”

“Isn’t that human’s status much higher?”

Hwang Gyeongryong was instantly angered by the ignorant words of the giant and the angel.

“...We’re very close!”

“Y-you still shouldn’t talk about him like that. You have to distinguish between public and private.”

“Even if you’re close, you two still serve a constellation, so you have to respect srules of conduct.”

“...”

Hwang Gyeongryong was dumbfounded. He could believe that a giant and an angel were actually lecturing him about human relationships...

Of course, this would only happen in the Abyss!

“Do you know who I am...?”

“Wh-who are you?”

“Who?”

“An S-grade hunter known as Earth’s Last Guardian, the head of Dragon Industry, and the most famous person in the world according to Forbes...”

“We... We don’t know.”

“That’s right. Earth doesn’t concern us.”

The giant and angel had no idea what Hwang Gyeongryong was talking about, so they were naturally unimpressed. They were active only in the Abyss, so they couldn’t possibly know about famous humans.

‘Oh, cthe hell on...!’

Hwang Gyeongryong was saddened by their reactions, but the giant seemed to notice this and carefully tried to console him.

“D-don’t be sad. Aren’t we all not famous?”

“That’s right. You might feel jealous because a human you are close to is active, but as a loyal subordinate of your master, you should refrain from such jealousy.”

“I’m not jealous! Why would I be jealous?!” retorted Hwang Gyeongryong.

However, the giant and the angel were no longer listening to him.

“H-how is the land over there?”

“It’s okay. It’s so horribly contaminated that it seems to be a good training ground for young angels.”

“I-it looks good to fight for giants as well. Our giants love the land of death.”

“???”

Hwang Gyeongryong was flustered as he listened to their conversation. They liked that land?

Befitting of his name, the realm of the Black Magician Who Shares Everything was a barren, desolate land, consumed by death and decay.

The giant and the angel were specifically pointing at the Valley of Death, where powerful ghouls kept emerging from.

“Wh-what...? Why should I choose a territory like that? Aren’t there way better options?”

“I-Is that so? That ghoul seems great to train with.”

“I’m not sure how it looks to humans, but that valley makes for a great training ground for our young angels. It’s particularly good because of how fast ghouls emerge from the ground. It’s hard to find a place like that.”

“Are both of you just looking for a good place to fight?”

The two of them nodded at Hwang Gyeongryong’s question.

“I-it is a smelly land of death, so it’s good for fighting! Other than that, there are no benefits.”

“The rougher and more unwelcoming the land, the better.”

“...”

Hwang Gyeongryong was baffled by these two.

‘These imbeciles don’t know anything about real estate!’

Hwang Gyeongryong would be astonished if he were the constellation of either of these two. They had to find the most useful and practical territory out there, not pick a heavily polluted valley with monsters.

“Hu-human, I will recommend one. That is the site of the old kingdom where death knights appear. Don’t tell the other household members.”

“I will also give you a piece of advice. It’s best not to choose the cliff over there where the dullahan roams. It seems like a great area because of the dullahan, but once it disappears, it takes a lot of tfor it to reappear. That territory is actually useless.”

“...Thank you for the advice.”

Hwang Gyeongryong made up his mind to disregard their advice and decide for himself what territory was best.

‘There must be suseful land here.’

-The warmth of the living... I will kill you! I will kill you! Read Web s Online Free - Fire Fire -

-Spread more and more dark energy! Pollute the earth and bring down the sky!

‘Oh, there’s nobody normal here...’

Hwang Gyeongryong was appalled. Everyone in this realm had such distasteful preferences that it almost seemed like they were all clones of the black magician constellation.

The orcs who followed him were also disgusted.

“These destructive savages!”

“We can’t forgive those who pollute the land that is the source of everything.”

“Why do mortals walk the path of destroying themselves? The right way is to plant, cultivate, and harvest new life!”

‘...They’re also weirdos...’

Hwang Gyeongryong was startled every tthe orcs got philosophical. No matter how he thought about it, Choi Yeonseung had clearly done something with these orcs...

After all, how could creatures that naturally only knew destruction and plundering change like this?

“We have to go further. We can’t plant seeds in such contaminated land.”

“But we’re not looking for farmland,” explained Hwang Gyeongryong.

“Still, wouldn’t it be better if we could also farm there?”

‘Why did I even bring them with me?’

Hwang Gyeongryong felt like they had been wandering around for an eternity, but they eventually stumbled upon a plot of land that seemed to be unscathed.

It was a land of vampires, who were all nestled in a rather quaint mansion.

“It looks pretty useful, no?”

“H-hey! You better give up on that!” yelled the giant from before. He had rushed after them after choosing a plot of land for his constellation.

“The vampires are sick and weak. They won’t be of much help in fighting.”

‘Ah, so that’s why there’s less pollution.’

No wonder...

But it didn’t matter. Hwang Gyeongryong wasn’t looking for minions, but for useful land.

“Orcs, go tell the vampires.”

“Roger!” the orcs shouted in unison.

After they went up to the vampires, the orcs shouted at them, “You! We’ll give you the opportunity to plant crops on this land and practice martial arts under the grace of the Undefeated Incarnation of Training!”

“????”

The vampires in the mansion surged out while looking bewildered. They knew that the old constellation had stepped down and new ones had come, but...

“We... We’ll do as you say. But what do you mean by planting crops and training in martial arts?”

“Ah, ah... You don’t want to listen!” shouted one of the orcs.

Hwang Gyeongryong quickly intervened and silenced the orcs, thinking that they would make things unnecessarily difficult.

“You just need to know that you will serve the Undefeated Incarnation of Training in the future!”

“Uh... My family isn’t that strong...’ the oldest vampire said hesitantly. “So I’m afraid that we might disappoint the constellation. Will this really be okay?”

“Don’t worry.”

Hwang Gyeongryong didn’t care about the vampires but about the plot of land. However, the vampires seemed to misunderstand his intentions a bit.

‘What a merciful constellation!’
