Chapter 313: The Next World (3)

Chapter 313: The Next World (3)

6.

A lot of things happened over the course of a fortnight.

[The constellation The Whip That Descends on the Self-Abuser has regained its stars.]

[The constellation Fist Holding the Sun is recruiting new followers for the first time in 233 years!]

[The constellation Guardian of the Southeast Gate has been released from its seal.]

[The constellation Claws Scratching the Night Sky has been released from its seal.]

[The constellation Failed Monologue has been released from its seal.]

Firstly, the five constellations sealed by the Magic Tower were liberated.

Not all constellations were fortunate enough to have admirable followers like the [Berserker].

For periods ranging from 900 to 200 years, these constellations had been sealed. Some constellations, once glorious, had declined to the point of having not even a single follower left.

The last follower who served me died 302 years ago, muttered one constellation.

It was a beautiful constellation with black hair. The hair was so long that it flowed across the entire rooms carpet. The [Claws Scratching the Night Sky], true to its alias, looked up into the void with eyes that resembled the night sky.

Originally, I was a minor constellation.

What kind of authority do you have?

Theres not much to call an authority. If, in your life, youve ever laid in bed, or not in bed, and stretched out your hand towards the night sky, attempting to scratch it with your fingernails, that act would be considered faith towards me.

.

How about it?

The constellation of the night sky smiled silently.

Not so minor, is it?

No, its amazing. Not like pretending to be a god or anything. Why would the Grey Spider seal such a constellation?

Who knows. She must have had her own reasons. Maybe she was annoyed every time a message about me appeared when stretching towards the night sky. Or perhaps she coveted my power because Im a constellation. Maybe it was to keep me alive.

Really?

Either way, I dont hate her.

The constellation, who until a few days ago was nailed to a cross and drained of magic for hundreds of years, gazed out the window with a shadowed look.

Hatred is a potent energy. Both the sender and the receiver become more distinct. Just like love, greed, or hope, it keeps someone who should die alive. The Death King. Our savior. Do you understand what Im saying?

Yes.

I nodded, recalling the eternity of 4000 days.

I understand.

I locked eyes with the night skys gaze.

I know well.

.

Many things happened.

The spiders lost their spire but gained a mountain-like arena, and additionally, the right to migrate to the Lion World. The Snail Race demonstrated their architectural prowess, creating living quarters for the spiders.

The destinations for migration varied. Some wanted to live in the New Continent, some in Raviels Empire, others in Babylon, and so on.

Most of them are magicians who have lived for over a hundred years! They are high-quality talents!

The Black Dragon Witch, who had always suffered from a perpetual shortage of manpower, rejoiced.

Can we recruit these people as we please? Huh?

Theres no particular issue. Just dont stop anyone who challenges them to a duel.

Huh? What does that mean?

I explained.

After hearing the whole story, the Black Dragon Witch lamented.

Why cant we have people who are both morally and skillfully competent in any world? I know I shouldnt be the one to say this.

Im here, arent I?

Yeah. You shouldnt be the one to say that.

The Black Dragon Witch lay down and sighed deeply.

Alright. Ive said it before, but Im not in a position to judge others Anyway, youve worked hard.

Is everything fine here?

Focus on your own problems. Well handle issues here. Thats right, isnt it? Hamustra said he wanted to gather our achievements and create a spin-off.

No, whats that.

Ive entered the mukbang genre. How about Black Dragon Food Fighter for the title? Its a story about me traveling through various worlds and just eating delicious food. Itll sell, right?

Seriously, what I can see why Anastasia needs some healing. Please take it easy and rest. Im leaving now.

So, whether Black Dragon Food Fighter will be created or not remains to be seen, but the competition to recruit the witch race definitely heated up.

Even considering the unavoidable life-or-death duel requests, the magicians were undoubtedly valuable talents.

Ill offer you double the salary of any offer youve received so far.

The final winner of this competition was the Count.

Moreover, in our alliance, there are talented individuals from the entire Elf race. Its like having a host of capable subordinates ready to be commanded. Black Dragon, Ten Thousand Temple, all good places with their own merits. But why should one go there to work themselves to death under the pretense of responsibility?

I swear my loyalty! Wah! King!

Right, right. You understand what Im saying. But could you cry like a cat for me?

Meow! Meow! And, could you please protect my life too? I really dont want to do any duels

Thats impossible.

No, its just um. Theres something more important than life.

Whats that?

Being a fan.

Another person with rotten eyes was added to the Planetarium.

The Assistant Writer was rather indignant.

Ah, what! This is a line that only the real protagonist can say!

Enjoy your happy fandom.

While the people under the sky reached out to touch the edges of the world, cautiously searching for a place to lean on, stand for a while, or pass by, the constellations in the sky came to me.

Ive thought a lot about how to repay you.

[Claws Scratching the Night Sky] spoke as a representative of the constellations.

It wasnt just me pondering; the other twelve constellations discussed it too. To decide on a reward for a hunter, and that too one who has just reached the 50th floor Its unprecedented.

Its thanks to you that I was able to reunite with my cute little one

[The Whip That Descends on the Self-Abuser] added, gently touching the night skys hair spread on the floor.

I thought about giving you a great weapon, but the holy sword at your waist already looks more impressive

Honestly, you dont seem like the type to have material desires, which made it difficult.

But, said [Claws Scratching the Night Sky].

You claim to be the successor of the Sword Emperor. Fortunately, some of us knew what kind of gift the Sword Emperor would appreciate.

The night sky clasped its hands together.

May this be the right answer for you.

Whoooosh.

A soft light enveloped my body.

[The constellation Claws Scratching the Night Sky acknowledges the completion of your quest.]

[The 50th floor stage has been cleared!]

As my vision gradually whitened.

I hope someday a constellation will create a quest just for you Death King. Although we are not your dedicated constellations. The existence of such constellations, its a very, a very happy thing

The voice continued.

[The constellation The Whip That Descends on the Self-Abuser acknowledges the completion of your quest.]

[The 51st floor stage has been cleared!]

And it continued.

[The constellation The Eye Living in the Labyrinth acknowledges the completion of your quest.]

[The 52nd floor stage has been cleared!]

Constellations that participated in the Anti-Magic Alliance.

[The constellation The Bell that Mourns the Dead acknowledges the completion of your quest.]

[The 53rd floor stage has been cleared!]

One by one, those with the authority to judge whether a hunter is qualified to ascend to the next floor.

[The constellation The Last Sword in the Wilderness acknowledges the completion of your quest.]

[The 54th floor stage has been cleared!]

They formed a unified voice and spoke to me.

[The constellation Fist Holding the Sun acknowledges the completion of your quest.]

[The 55th floor stage has been cleared!]

[The constellation Guardian of the Southeast Gate acknowledges the completion of your quest.]

[The 56th floor stage has been cleared!]

[The constellation Failed Monologue acknowledges the completion of your quest.]

[The 57th floor stage has been cleared!]

[The constellation The Lone Seeker of Truth acknowledges the completion of your quest.]

[The 58th floor stage has been cleared!]

[The constellation The Incarnation of Love and Lust acknowledges the completion of your quest.]

[The 59th floor stage has been cleared!]

[The constellation The Warhorse of the Eternal Plains acknowledges the completion of your quest.]

[The 60th floor stage has been cleared!]

Finally.

[Your existence becomes even more distinct.]

[The level of the Death King increases.]

[Your skill slot expands.]

The next world colored my vision.

[Your Hunter rank is now S-Class.]

[May luck be with you.]
