Chapter 375: Blue Blood (3)

3.

Wait a moment. What on earth is going on?

Black Dragon Master asked in dismay. The dormitory was already in an uproar due to Raviels visit.

For my friends, who were enjoying a peaceful evening after work, this was indeed an untimely disturbance.

Could it be that something major has happened in the Empire? Like a rebellion or an ambush. Thats why suddenly.

A rebellion and an ambush both happened, and on top of that, there was a poisoning. Master of the Black Dragon.

What!? Really!?

And fortunately, all three incidents were resolved recently. Now, I am here for a different matter concerning Gong-ja.

Raviel naturally sat down on the sofa and looked at me.

With eyes that seemed to demand an explanation.

Although she didnt show it outwardly, , I could tell from the sound of her heartbeat and breathing that Raviel was quite uneasy.

As for the different matter, even I dont know the details. I am the one who wants to ask What exactly is going on? Gong-ja. You who would be more reluctant to see my life taken once than to see yours severed a thousand times. Why did you make [such a request]? I cant help but be curious.

Before I knew it, not only Raviel but also all my colleagues were looking at me. Raviel demanded an explanation, and the colleagues wanted one too.

Hmm.

I took a deep breath.

This was the beginning of the strategy meeting.

Yes, Raviel. If it were something that could be resolved by me dying a thousand times, I would never have asked you for such a request.

Then.

I would have risked never meeting Raviel again forever.

The eyes of everyone in the common living room were piercing through my face.

In 24 hours from now, I will be in danger of being permanently sealed.

Silence fell.

Peoples reaction speeds varied, but naturally, Raviel was the first to understand. She pulled out her fan and propped her chin with it, muttering, I see, so thats what it was.

Hmm.

Next to grasp the essence of my words, surprisingly or unsurprisingly, was the Crusader, Patricia.

Patricia crossed her arms and stared intently this way.

Indeed. The enemy who came up with the most effective tactic against Kim Gong-ja has appeared. In 24 hours, does that mean you have just regressed a day?

Yes.

If someone is somewhat aware of your abilities, and if that person is sufficiently powerful and mighty, its inevitable that you would face such a predicament eventually. Dont worry, Kim Gong-ja.

Patricias words helped the other colleagues gradually start to guess the situation. Count nodded with an Ah-ha, and Black Dragon Master sighed with a Aaaah

Since I had revealed to these colleagues that I was a regressor, they understood quickly. Only Venomous Snake looked around cluelessly.

Hey, hey, whats going on? Why do you all look like you understand? I dont get it at all.

Its simple, Liao Fan. Kim Gong-ja does not die no matter how many times he is killed; rather, he grows stronger with each death. Thus, the only solution is to seal him away without regard for the means.

Patricia explained as if it were nothing significant.

Isolating him so that no one else can help, and blocking him from taking his own life, effectively paralyzing him for a long duration.

Ah. Oh. Yes. I see what you mean. But how did you understand what Gong-ja was talking about so quickly?

Because it was a tactic included in the plans I had devised to eliminate Kim Gong-ja. Its a strategy Ive concocted myself, so how could I not know?

Uh. Huh? Eh? What did you say?

Ignore it. Its a story thats no longer important.

Patricia shook her head once and then looked at me.

So, Gong-ja. Who is it? Who tried to seal you away? Just thinking about it is easy, but to actually execute it is extremely difficult. Is there such a formidable enemy?

I nodded.

Yes. The person is named Constellation Killer.

An explanation about who Constellation Killer was continued for a while.

.

.

Throughout my explanation, my colleagues expressions grew serious. Even the worst fashion combo of gym clothes and three-striped slippers couldnt fully mask their grave looks.

Thats because my elimination would essentially mean the collapse of the entire Lion World.

It might sound arrogant, but realistically, my existence is too crucial for Lion World. Its overly central.

First. The five major guilds have settled past grievances and collaborated around me.

Second. The Aegim Empire worships [Goddess of Protection] as a deity, and the [Goddess of Protection] calls me the hero and follows me. Thanks to this authority, I can intervene in the Aegim Empire.

Third. The same goes for Raviels empire. Effectively, the strategic marriage between Raviel and me ensures smooth communication between both worlds.

Fourth. Theres even no need to mention Uburkas world where he was born.

I am the pillar of the Lion World.

The harmony between numerous different races and worlds solely depends on my life.

It must not collapse, nor can its disappearance be permitted.

Truly, its a convoluted fate.

Raviel broke the heavy silence.

The Constellation Killer we are discussing is my ancient ancestor. Our family was originally commoners, but we quickly rose to the core of power after receiving the favor of the hero who saved the nation. And Constellation Killer left the family with the Wish Sword before he departed.

Wish Sword.

The very sword Raviel had thrust into her own heart while facing the mirror.

I used the Wish Sword and became a Constellation for a while. Because I became a Constellation, my world was recorded in the apocalypse. Because it was recorded, Gong-ja, I was able to meet you.

Yes, Raviel. Fate is indeed strange, I always feel that.

He is also known as Hamustra.

Why are he called that

Is that really important now?! Please focus on the story!

It feels extremely important. To the extent that, at this moment, it seems like nothing else is important.

Everyone wore expressions of intense concern, but the cat continued explaining regardless.

Second. The case where ones own sanctuary is connected. Like the 60th floors. Usually, subordinate worlds are connected, but there are cases where ones own world is directly linked. [The One with Tasty Knees] is such a case.

And who is that.

Also called Mutia.

Tasty, is it?

Are Mutias knees tasty?

If the first is akin to a service duty to the tower, the second is closer to a business method for accumulating power as a Constellation.

They seem similar.

Well, they actually are similar. As for this, Screaming Sky~nim will know more details when you actually reach the 90th floor However, these two methods share a common aspect in a different sense. They imply that one can set their own access rights to the sanctuary.

I nodded.

Any other methods?

Third is the administrator of the entire tower. For example, the pillars themselves provide access routes. [The One Who Tasts like Delicious Liquor] was caught by you using this method.

Hishmith Kritz let out a screech. The cat continued speaking while smacking its lips towards Hishmith Kritz.

Other than that, well, You have to be in the comparable status. Screaming Sky~nim, you would qualify, but that human would not.

I chuckled.

In short, Kim Yul has the authority to go to Constellation Killers sanctuary, but not the qualifications to go to the 90th-floor.

Conversely, I have the qualifications to go to a 90th-floor, but not the authority to go to Constellation Killers sanctuary.

One could say that each of us is missing one necessary requirement.

Its okay.

But put another way, it meant that we could compensate for what the other lacked.

And Kim Yul and I were already bound together.

We were in a relationship where we could call each other informally.

Kim Yul ssi is my apostle. My hands and feet. So, he can go not as [Hunter] but as [Apostle of the Constellation named Screaming Sky].

Huh? Ahhh, Aha! Indeed!

The calico cat looked back and forth between me and Kim Yul and then opened its mouth.

If he truly is an apostle, its possible! If the Constellation permits, an apostle can possess the same qualifications as the Constellation itself.

Kim Yul regained his memories because of me and was revived by me. Now that I have been completed as a Constellation, it is fitting to call Kim Yul my apostle.

Not just Kim Yul. Estelle, Sylvia, the Four Demon Lords, and the believers of the Infernal Heavens. All who received life from me are now equally my apostles.

Therefore, this operation has become possible.

Kim Yul ssi will cross over first, as my apostle, as our vanguard.

Just as [The Ox that Harvests Ruins] had once led its apostle, The Lady of the Golden Silk, to invade Raviels world.

This time, I will lead Kim Yul to invade the sanctuary of Constellation Killer.

And as soon as you arrive, please call for me. Summon me. Then, I will rush over immediately with my apostles and followers all at once.

All the pieces of the puzzle were in place.

With [The Eye Living in the Labyrinth], we know the coordinates. With Kim Yul, we can enter the sanctuary. Since I am Kim Yuls Constellation, I can respond to his call. Others, being my apostles or followers, can cross over with me.

Everything we have achieved from the 10th to the 80th floor made this operation possible.

Meow. Understood. At least from our perspective, there are no problems!

[The Cat that Bit a Gold Coin] also guaranteed the success of the operation.

So now all that was left was to execute the plan, but

Apostles? Followers?

Black Dragon Master muttered bewilderedly.

Wait a minute. I wasnt called out when Gong-ja was breaking through the heavenly floors! Im neither an apostle nor a follower or anything!

Then you can stay home and watch the house.

Count fanned herself leisurely.

Just so you know, Ive become follower of Gong-ja. Being recognized in the heavenly floors as a follower was synonymous with becoming a follower of Gong-ja.

Hmm. Then the first person to become a follower was me.

Crusader leisurely fanned not herself but the Count.

Thinking about it, Anastasia wasnt called as a Judge, huh? Is that so. She didnt meet the qualifications Thats regrettable.

Ah. She often brags about how she was the first to become friends with Gong-ja and whatnot, but in the end, true camaraderie is proven in places like this, isnt it?

Ahaha. I am, for now, a follower of my master too!

One by one, Crusader, Venomous Snake, and Heretic Questioner spoke.

.

Surrounded by the group, the Black Dragon Master suddenly glared at me with eyes blazing with some emotion.

And as if she felt betrayed by me, she exclaimed,

I, Ill convert!

But werent you an atheist.
