Chapter 534
Indeed, his tenacious will to live proved that he didn’t want to be put together with that other A-grade hunter!
“Did you guys know? Huh, I guess most of you didn’t know.”
The other hunters on the ground didn’t struggle like Gerrity, but they were pleading their innocence with their eyes.
-We really have nothing to do with the Master of Slowness and Silence!
But regardless of their hesitation, Chris Aaron kept nodding expressionlessly at them, as if in trance. It became apparent that the hunters were more inclined to kill Chris Aaron than Choi Yeonseung.
‘You son of a bitch! If you’re going to die, die alone! Why drag us in with you?’
‘You crazy A-grade hunter...!’
Denying any involvement with the constellation wasn’t enough. Once Chris Aaron admitted that they were all involved, the hunters almost burst into tears.
-It looks like he made a vow when signing a contract with the Master of Slowness and Silence.
The goddess of sloth knew the Master of Slowness and Silence, so she quickly figured out Chris Aaron’s condition.
Some constellations demanded sacrifices out of their subjects before accepting them. It was clear that the Master of Slowness and Silence had taken away Chris Aaron’s voice.
-Can he do that?
-The Master of Slowness and Silence is quiet and dull, so it’s easy to be mistaken about him. However, he’s never kind to his household members. He’s just indifferent.
-Yes. I can feel it.
Choi Yeonseung glanced at his opponent. Even though he was human, his eyes were lifeless. Signing a contract with the Master of Slowness and Silence was certainly beneficial, but it was clear that Chris Aaron’s ego had been snatched away, reducing him to a puppet.
Bam!
Chris Aaron fired a shot at Uranta, whose arms were bound. Now that it was revealed that he was the household member of the Master of Slowness and Silence, this fight had turned into a battle of pride for the Warrior With a Hammer and the Undefeated Incarnation of Training!
[The ‘Warrior With a Hammer’ says to give it a try!]
[Uranta is granted new powers!]
The Master of Slowness and Silence was one of the most powerful constellations on Earth, but no constellation would just lower their tail and flee in this situation.
Furious, the Warrior With a Hammer abandoned one of his kingdoms, using the extra power of existence to bestow new powers on Uranta.
‘Not good!’
Uranta emitted a powerful force from his whole body, which weighed down on everyone around him. However, Choi Yeonseung was frowning.
This was a poor tactic against the Master of Slowness and Silence. In fact, most constellation powers were bound to be ineffective against him. No matter the power, he could just nullify it with his own power.
Moreover, very few constellations had fought against the Master of Slowness and Silence. If he had any experience against him, the Warrior With a Hammer wouldn’t have gone with this method.
Uranta’s hammer exuded a great power of existence.
[Uranta casts the power of the ‘Warrior With a Hammer’, the Hammer of a Guaranteed Hit!]
The power of existence in the hammer made it so that no matter where it was thrown, it would seek out its target and land. That was bound to be effective against Chris Aaron, who had been dodging attacks for a while.
However, the Master of Slowness and Silence didn’t stay still either.
[The ‘Master of Slowness and Silence’ grants a power.]
[The power of the ‘Warrior With a Hammer’ inside the hammer has fallen silent.]
The powers of the Master of Slowness and Silence and the Warrior With a Hammer clashed. It was a battle between constellations that overlapped with reality, and the silence constellation came on top.
The hammer flew in the air and fell helplessly on the ground.
“!!!!”
Uranta looked stunned. He wasn’t hurt, but the shock he felt was tremendous. For those who truly served a constellation, defeat was tantamount to the collapse of their world.
Chris Aaron took aim with the intention to kill Uranta.
Bam!
However, Choi Yeonseung quickly jumped in, launching an attack on Chris Aaron before he could activate his power. He was dealing with an opponent who could nullify all kinds of powerful magic in the blink of an eye, so he forgot about powers and decided to only focus on martial arts.
Faster!
Stronger!
Choi Yeonseung’s punches pierced Chris Aaron with dull sounds. No matter how hard he tried to defend himself, it was impossible for him to get the upper hand against Choi Yeonseung in close combat.
Since Choi Yeonseung wasn’t using Concentrated Energy Arts or any other power skills, Chris Aaron first tried to slow him down.
[Chris Aaron activates the Curse of Nails.]
True to its name, a powerful flow of magic surged forth and enveloped Choi Yeonseung entirely. It felt like the whole world was slowing down.
However, Chris Aaron didn’t know that the opponent in front of him was a constellation, not a mortal.
“!”
It was then that Chris Aaron finally showed an emotion—he was baffled.
Choi Yeonseung broke through the power and rushed at him.
Origin of the Universe Fist!
Chris Aaron was then struck by Origin of the Celestial Fist and got obliterated.
[The ‘Master of Slowness and Silence’ activates his power.]
The collapsing Chris Aaron suddenly disappeared with an unnatural movement.
With that, the Master of Slowness and Silence stared at Choi Yeonseung.
[The ‘Master of Slowness and Silence’ is quite annoyed by you.]
“It goes both ways!” Choi Yeonseung said bluntly, not hiding his true feelings at all.
They were beyond reconciliation at this point, their rivalry past the point of no return. There was nothing they could do. Choi Yeonseung had become a threat to the Master of Slowness and Silence, and the Master of Slowness and Silence was also blatantly trying to get rid of Choi Yeonseung...
[The ‘Master of Slowness and Silence’ says he doesn’t understand why you are making so much noise with your pointless struggle.]
[The ‘Master of Slowness and Silence’ says that if humans cooperate and don’t go against their predestined fate, he will be as merciful as possible.]
‘...What kind of bullshit is that?’
-Uh... Just don’t bother. You can just ignore him.
Being transcendent beings, some constellations would say things that were absolute nonsense to Choi Yeonseung.
The enemy in front of him was just like that.
‘So what, we should just lie down and die because he can’t be bothered?!’
Was the slowness constellation out of his mind?!
“Well fuck you! I’ll blast KPOP at max volume for twenty-four hours a day in all my territories in China!” Choi Yeonseung shot back.
Although he didn’t understand the exact meaning of Choi Yeonseung’s words, the Master of Slowness and Silence could clearly tell that Choi Yeonseung was determined to make as much noise as possible.
He was now grimacing at Choi Yeonseung.
[The ‘Master of Slowness and Silence’ says he doesn’t understand why you are doing this.]
[The ‘Greedy Owner of the Treasure House’ is furious and wondering what happened!]
The Greedy Owner of the Treasure House belatedly heard about the situation.
It would be understandable if the good god constellations targeted his territory. However, the Master of Slowness and Silence was different.
Both of them were part of the same secret alliance. But without saying a word, the Master of Slowness and Silence sent his household members to attack the territory of the treasure house constellation.
You...! You better have a good excuse for this!
No matter what excuses or explanations the Master of Slowness and Silence offered, the Greedy Owner of the Treasure House would not let this go.
But the Master of Slowness and Silence went one step further than him. He didn’t bother making any excuses at all.
[The ‘Master of Slowness and Silence’ says that you and your household members were too loud.]
......
The Greedy Owner of the Treasure House doubted his ears.
What did he just say?
It wasn’t an apology or an excuse...
[The ‘Chef of Endless Gluttony’ tells you that you have been tricked!]
[He says it was a mistake to trust this constellation in the first place.]
[The ‘Undefeated Incarnation of Training’ says that being deceived is part of life.]
[He warns you not to get too close!]
Despite their hostile relationship with the Greedy Owner of the Treasure House, Choi Yeonseung and the chef constellation went ahead and gave him some advice.
Compared to the slowness constellation, who was a formidable opponent, the treasure house constellation was more of a pushover. Thus, it would be troublesome if the treasure house constellation made a mistake that resulted in the Master of Slowness and Silence becoming even stronger.
Of course, their advice fell on deaf ears.
You shameless traitor!!
The Greedy Owner of the Treasure House descended to his own realm and instantly charged at the Master of Slowness and Silence. He was about to deliver a powerful blow to this arrogant intruder!
[The power of the ‘Greedy Owner of the Treasure House’...]
[The power of the ‘Master of Slowness and Silence’ is activated.]
Compared to the emotional outburst of the Greedy Owner of the Treasure House, the Master of Slowness and Silence was terrifyingly cold.
Even though he wasn’t familiar with combat, the Greedy Owner of the Treasure House was confident because he was in his own realm, which was why he attacked so hastily. However, he was quickly immobilized by his opponent.
Choi Yeonseung managed to witness the Greedy Owner of the Treasure House being penetrated by the attack of the Master of Slowness and Silence.
Bam!
A battle between transcendent beings took place high up in the skies of the realm.
“...!”
Then, golden rain fell, some of it coming from the wounds sustained by the Greedy Owner of the Treasure House.
The household members of the treasure house constellation were flustered and shifted their gazes to the sky. They couldn’t see it, but they could tell something had happened to their master.
[The ‘Master of Slowness and Silence’ attracts your treasure.]
The treasure house constellation was enraged as the enemy pierced through him and stole some of his riches.
Sabrons...! Come closer!
The treasure house constellation summoned his favorite household member. He had to prevent the Master of Slowness and Silence from taking his property and becoming the master of this realm. He had to preserve his wealth by bestowing treasures on his own subjects. It was a waste, but this wasn’t the time to be stingy.
Take it!
The key of the treasure house constellation fell from the sky.
Sabrons was there, stretching out his hand...
And Choi Yeonseung swooped in and took the key.
“?”
“???”
“?????????”
He had been there all along, from the moment the treasure house constellation was hit. Sabrons hadn’t realized that Choi Yeonseung had been behind him all this time.
The moment he snatched the key, Choi Yeonseung felt that the order and laws of this kingdom were shaken and transferred to him.
[You have collected the most wealth in the realm.]
[The ‘Fourth Abyss Kingdom’ has become yours.]
...
It wasn’t just the Greedy Owner of the Treasure House; even the Master of Slowness and Silence found it absurd.
In fact, even the Warrior With a Hammer, who was on Choi Yeonseung’s side, was baffled. Sure, their task was to take control of the kingdom, but no one had expected the raid to end like this.
You crook...!
The moment the constellation tried to attack, Choi Yeonseung made a declaration.
[The ‘Undefeated Incarnation of Training’ orders you to pay off the remaining debt now.]
[He urges everyone to attack the ‘Master of Slowness and Silence’.]
Realizing that he no longer had anything to gain and that he was outnumbered, the Master of Slowness and Silence quickly gave up and backed away.
[The ‘Master of Slowness and Silence’ disappears from the realm.]
[The debt owed by the ‘Greedy Owner of the Treasure House’ completely disappears.]
The debt of the Greedy Owner of the Treasure House also disappeared, but given the situation, he couldn’t care less about that.
You... You... YOU...!!
[The ‘Warrior With a Hammer’ tells you to calm down.]
[The ‘Chef of Endless Gluttony’ tells you to calm down.]
On behalf of Choi Yeonseung, the other constellations stopped the treasure house constellation from attacking, which made him even more furious.
