Chapter 322

-I heard that the household members of the Undefeated Incarnation of Training are good friends with the rock snakes.

“...I don’t think that the household members see it that way.”

After a polite greeting, the rock giant addressed Choi Yeonseung once again.

-Then we must continue the fight.

“No...”

Choi Yeonseung was taken aback. Weren’t they about to make peace?

-I am grateful that you are kind to the rock snakes, but I made a promise to my master. I have to keep it.

Bang!

The rock giant was right. His master’s orders had nothing to do with the snakes. It would be shameful to disobey the orders of the explosive constellation for something so trivial.

Bang, bang, bang!

“But isn’t the battle pretty much over? You can’t even lay a finger on me, can you?” asked Choi Yeonseung as he dodged another attack. He thought well of his opponent, so he wanted to pursue him to stop the fight rather than knock him down.

This household member of the explosion constellation certainly knew a lot about this dungeon, so it was better to reason with him in order to get information.

-It’s not over yet! It’s not over until I am completely broken!

Swish!

Choi Yeonseung knocked the giant off balance and threw him to the side.

“Ugh!”

The Chinese hunters, who had been watching the fight with fascination, ran away with fright as the rock giant suddenly flew toward them.

“Oh, I’m sorry. I forgot about you.”

“N-no, it’s okay. Don’t worry about us!”

Of course, the hunters inwardly swore at Choi Yeonseung, but they couldn’t say it out loud here. They merely smiled and suppressed their anger.

“Do you still want to fight?”

-Yes!

The rock giant charged at Choi Yeonseung again. There were a few explosions and the floor shattered, but Choi Yeonseung dodged everything with ease. Once again, he knocked the rock giant off balance and flung him away.

“Now? Are you still going to fight?”

-Yes!!

“...Geez, just surrender and stop overdoing it.”

Before Choi Yeonseung could finish speaking, another group of hunters appeared behind him. They were the hunters led by Illaphael.

***

“I’ll help!” shouted Illaphael the moment he saw what was going on. It seemed that the hunters in the rear didn’t participate in the fight because their levels were low and they lacked skills.

Given that they were facing the rock giant, it would be difficult for those Chinese hunters to deal any damage to him due to his unique defense.

A large spear appeared in Illaphael’s hand. Since it was created by magic power, the spear wriggled like a snake.

“No... It’s okay.”

-I don’t care! Bring it!

The rock giant urged them to join the fight. No matter how many adversaries came at him, his pride wouldn’t allow him to back down.

Bang!

Illaphael flew in and kicked the rock giant, knocking him away. The rock giant screamed in pain.

-Six Thousand Flights!

Illaphael’s attack was quite powerful. Once magic reached a certain level, it became so powerful that it was difficult for martial arts to keep up with it.

He concentrated his magic power and released it in an explosive way, causing a devastating attack.n-)OvELBIn

“How is it? Was it helpful?”

Choi Yeonseung answered, “I was trying to persuade him to stop fighting...”

“...?”

Beside him, Louis cautiously added, “He’s familiar with a household member, so Hunter Choi Yeonseung was trying to persuade him.”

“...”

Illaphael’s expression completely changed after hearing that. He quickly tried to come up with an excuse.

“Ah... Well, the rock giant is arrogant and demanding, so it’s almost impossible to reason with him... You don’t know this. In addition, he’s the household member of another constellation! He probably won’t listen to you!”

“I think we were actually about to convince him...”

[’Endless Linked Explosions’ says he can tell you countless other evil deeds committed by the Chinese.]

When it came to China, the explosion constellation had ten times more intel than Choi Yeonseung.

Unlike Choi Yeonseung, who had just recently started to expand his influence, the explosion constellation had household members scattered everywhere. Thus, he had found out things that Choi Yeonseung had no idea about.

“This is definitely... Wasn’t the Chinese media making a scandal about South Korea dumping toxic waste?” asked Choi Yeonseung incredulously. He hadn’t expected those bastards to lie in such a filthy manner...

[’Endless Linked Explosions’ says there is no need to betray your master.]

[‘Endless Linked Explosions’ is just telling you to vent your anger that you have bottled up. He says that he will help!]

[‘Endless Linked Explosions’ whispers that the ‘Undefeated Incarnation of Training’ wants strength, and if you kill those hunters and become stronger, your master will certainly be satisfied.]

‘...Shit, it actually sounded convincing for a moment. I almost agreed with him...’

Choi Yeonseung came to his senses, and the goddess of sloth chastised him.

-Why would you even think about that?!

-I’m sorry, goddess, but I didn’t just come into being from nothing.

No matter how long Choi Yeonseung had wandered in the Abyss, his roots hadn’t changed. Above all, he was a Korean human. No matter how much he tried to detach himself from his identity, if two hunters, one from South Korea and one from another country, were both equally criticized, he would still feel worse about the hunter from South Korea.

Nevertheless, Choi Yeonseung wasn’t too troubled about this flaw of his.

‘I made my peace with this a long time ago.’

“You do have a point,” said Choi Yeonseung.

[’Endless Linked Explosions’ welcomes it!]

[’Endless Linked Explosions’ says that if you want, he will give you a chance to blow up not only China, but also other countries.]

“Hunter Choi Yeonseung?!”

“Don’t do this! We didn’t do anything!” shouted the Chinese hunters when they sensed that the atmosphere had taken a turn for the worse.

They thought everyone was going to work together to kill the boss monster on the second underground floor and go down, but now they felt that something was wrong.

The explosion constellation himself came out and tried to get the A-grade hunter to take revenge against them. Moreover, the constellation managed to sound very tempting.

It seemed like he would actually convince Choi Yeonseung!

“The other guys are the ones who did it! Taking it out on us wouldn’t change anything!”

“You’re better than this! Don’t be swayed by the likes of him!”

Seeing how the hunters desperately tried to plead with Choi Yeonseung, the explosion constellation laughed mockingly. This kind of reaction from humans was always amusing.

Of course, the situation was urgent, but the right response was an apology. The Chinese hunters should bow down and beg for forgiveness for their wrongdoings.

This wasn’t a matter of right or wrong, but of emotion. Constellations and mortals couldn’t be rational.

“Uhh, this actually makes a bit of sense...”

Illaphael looked a bit shaken. In any case, the household members of the angel constellation had decided to cooperate with Choi Yeonseung to clear the dungeon together. Thus, it wouldn’t be a bad thing for Choi Yeonseung to gain more power.

Of course, dozens of human hunters would die, but that wouldn’t be that big of a deal. After all, one could always find a way to clear their conscience...

“...But I refuse your proposal. It’s ridiculous to think that you could tempt me into doing something like that.”

“...”

Illaphael was embarrassed and lost for words. Choi Yeonseung had firmly rejected the offer of the constellation, whereas he...

[’Endless Linked Explosions’ is infuriated!]

[He asks why you are turning down the offer!]

“They said it earlier.”

[...?]

“They’re not the ones who did those awful things.”

[’Endless Linked Explosions’ is dumbfounded and asks if you actually believe that.]

[’Endless Linked Explosions’ is convinced that these hunters approved of those wrongdoings...]

“It doesn’t matter if I believe it or not. If some Chinese hunters committed terrible crimes, I can find them and make them pay for it. I won’t feel better if I beat up some innocent hunters that are weaker than me.

Choi Yeonseung was a human and a Korean. That couldn’t be changed. However, ever since he had pledged to become the master of Earth as a constellation, Choi Yeonseung was determined to have a more broad-minded mentality.

Of course, every time he heard China blaming South Korea for something they did, he genuinely wanted to beat up some people, but...

He wouldn’t let himself be swayed by emotions and become the puppet of another constellation!

[’Seed of the Realm’ is vibrating.]

[’Nobility’ is engraved on the seed!]

“...”

-...Uhm, this doesn’t bode well...
