Chapter 2185 – [What Happens When a Constellation Is the Great Demon King]
One back-order guy, no, a year, died, but the clear itself was no problem. You can use potions to compensate for insufficient recovery, and as a constellation, I can provide support with those potions.
The stats of the men absorbed by Bae Seo-yoon did not return even if Bae Seo-yoon died. It disappeared and became weaker than before.
However, despite this, I was not greatly weakened, so I was able to somehow clear the 20th floor boss by randomly using potions. In the first place, I saved on consumables such as potions, so it wasn’t a huge burden for me to provide potions.
After clearly clearing the 20th floor, they were finally able to catch their breath and talk comfortably. The subject of the story is, of course, Bae Seo-yoon.
“Oh my god, how could such a bitch… I’m shocked that someone who seemed quiet and timid said that there was a person among the apostles whose personality was half as bad.”
“It must have been an act. I should have figured it out from the beginning.”
“If it weren’t for Yunho, we would all have died. It’s the same with Bae Seo-yoon and the potion given by the Constellation.”
“No, if it weren’t for me, it wouldn’t have been a dungeon where I had to use this much potion in the first place.”
“But it’s true that you saved me from that bitch and helped me. Thank you so much.”
The three men expressed their gratitude to Yunho. It’s a sight that makes you feel happy because you can see the sincerity.
On the other hand, let’s leave it unmentioned until Bae Seo-yoon reveals her true colors. Anyway, even if I said it was suspicious at the time, I would have defended that bitch and not been wary.
And the 20th floor was cleared. Numerous goods, rewards, and even stats. Even though it was only one person, they were able to receive quite a large amount of compensation because the number of people was reduced, and they received more compensation.
“Wow!!! What stats…!!!!”
“This is enough to replenish the absorbed stats.”
“I’m sorry, I couldn’t even absorb that much…”
“Thank you for rescuing me. Oh, when we leave, we will create a lot of good rumors about Yunho!!!! Please look forward to it!!!!!”
The three men whose stamina, mana, and stats were absorbed by Bae Seo-yoon were able to replace it with the reward for clearing the 20th floor. However, it is a loss as it is no different from not having part of the reward for one floor, but it is much better than dying.
After clearing the hierarchy, Yunho came out… Completely came out of the tower and rested at his home. It’s a very distraught expression.
[I am worried that it is because the Lord of Winter] Killed someone.]
“Ah, yes… I thought it would happen when I climbed the tower, but it happened earlier than I thought. It didn’t really hit me, but on the contrary, I definitely felt that feeling.”
[[The Lord of Winter] Says the important thing is to feel guilty. I encourage you by saying that the agony of killing someone is proof that you are still an ordinary person.]
“That’s all?”
[[The Lord of Winter] Advises that getting used to bad conscience is a big deal. I say that the fact that you are still having a hard time and pain because of your conscience is proof that you are still an upright human being.]
“… Thank you for your comfort, Constellation.”
I also know the feeling of murder very well. But unlike Yunho, I just perceive it a little more strangely.
Killing people is definitely a bad thing. It would be strange if you didn’t feel uncomfortable after killing a human who was alive just a moment ago.
But I don’t feel guilty even if I kill someone. On the contrary, if you kill a fucking bastard, you feel a cool and refreshing feeling of pleasure rather than feeling numb. The characteristic of being a celestial being makes me aware of my ideality.
I don’t know, but I know guilt well enough to know its strange nature. If he were a pleasure killer who only gets pleasure from killing people, he wouldn’t have had to go through this agony…
Anyway, what is important is remorse. Like the story of the triangle of conscience in the Native American proverb, when you do something that goes against your conscience, the angles of the triangle prick you, and it hurts, but when you do it often and the angles wear out, and you no longer feel the pain, that’s when it becomes a problem.
Even more so if the target is murder. Therefore, I have no choice but to provide serious and in-depth counseling personally.
While he rested, I spent time giving him counseling. Meanwhile, detailed rumors about Yunho spread throughout the world.
In fact, public opinion has changed a lot due to the incident with the streamer, but there are still a few people who doubt Yunho’s skills. I don’t know if it’s because she feels disharmony despite the fact that a 20th floor climber uses a 40th floor skill called Mana Blade, or maybe she’s just a reactionary who doesn’t want to admit what she’s been criticizing so far, but she’s having a hard time.
-Kang Yunho 〈 If you have constellation skills, it’s okay haha
-Have you heard the news yet? He’s good at skills, but he’s not good at skills.
-What news?
-The climber who attacked with him on the 20th floor revealed Kang Yunho’s constellation skill. I heard it’s a skill that increases the reward instead of increasing the level difficulty?
-?
-I don’t know how much it is, but even if it’s at least 2 or 3 times higher, you’ll be a mid-level apostle. If you keep doing that…
-Wow, shit. Who did he say his constellation was? [Lord of Winter]?
-I thought it was a fucking constellation, but it turned out to be a super long-lasting constellation!!!!!
-[Lord of Winter] What happens to Constellation Apostles? I’m in a hurry because I became a climber last week.
-Looking at it, there is no record and Kang Yun-ho is the first. Now, for the first time in a while, an amazing constellation has appeared, and there is a lot of interest from overseas.
-Even if you can’t become an apostle, if you recruit a guild and climb together with guild members…
-Are you really going to be the number one recruit? Whether from an individual perspective or when you consider that there will be apostles in the future.
There are two reasons why Yunho is attracting attention. As the constellation skill is revealed, it is a lottery that is guaranteed to win not only for mid-level climbers but also for the future with a bright future. Another is because it is an apostle of the constellation called [Lord of Winter], Which can make even newbies who have just become climbers to that level.〈 Br〉
If you want to become an apostle, it is important to first attract the attention of the Holy See. Since there is no separate algorithmic guidance in the constellation tower, I was not sure whether to look at it or not even if the constellation did something that might attract attention.
However, if you want to attract the attention of a Holy See who wants to become an Apostle, there is the simplest way. This is because you only need to be near the climber who has already become an apostle.
Even though it is a constellation, there are not many people who only watch their apostles 24 hours a day, but it is the same that they keep an eye on them. If there were such apostles around, there was also a high possibility of being chosen as an apostle.
An opponent that only has merit in engaging in it. Moreover, there were no problems with his personality. Then, it is bound to attract a lot of attention because it is so popular.
“Uh… I received a request for coverage from a broadcasting station.”
[[The Lord of Winter] Advises you to enjoy and relax by being treated like a celebrity.]
“Can I do that?”
It’s not the level of attention, but it’s become a hot potato, so I should enjoy it. I’m young and have been ignored before, so I’m probably hungry for attention, but I think I should make up for the mental damage I suffered from the murder this time.
And while Yunho was telling me to play, I had something to take care of. Because the bastard started a fight.
[A conversation request has been received from [Vine of Life]. Do you want to accept?]
“Hmm?”
[Vine of Life] Is none other than the constellation of Bae Seo-yoon, who made Yun-ho commit his first murder. I have a rough guess as to what kind of year it is that made such a year an apostle, but since one of my goals is to meet other constellations, I decided to talk about it.
And as soon as the conversation began, the poisonous will of [Vine of Life] Attacked me.
[Are you the [Lord of Winter], The constellation of the one who killed my apostle?!]
[If anyone hears it, they will know why he was killed for no reason. Since your apostle attacked and tried to kill my apostle first, if he counterattacked and killed me, wouldn’t there be nothing to say?]
[But my apostle is dead!!!!!]
The [Attracting Starlight] Constellation that I saw before was thrown away without any hesitation, whether I bought it or not, just as I had no interest in a broken toy. On the one hand, it may be because I was upset because I had a lot of faith points taken away from me while gambling, but in the end, it was no different from being treated that way.
However, the [Vine of Life] Seemed to have some affection for the apostle. Even though he is already dead and cannot be revived, he came to question me like this.
… It’s good that the constellations are attached to humans, but I don’t understand why this is so shitty. However, the other person at [Vine of Life] Explained my doubts very well.
[How could you kill that cute child?!]
[… Again, the girl started the fight first. They tried to kill my apostle, so he died fighting, so what does it matter?]
[No, then you should have just died. Just buy one!!!!!]
[?]
What? Aren’t you making such a fuss just because of that one dead apostle?
God is inherently unable to deny himself… Ah, since he is a human God, isn’t it meaningless to do things like self-justification? Anyway.
[Anyway, my apostle is dead, so give me faith points!!!!]
[… What does that mean?]
[3000 points I spent on that child!!! In addition, you will have to give an additional 2,000 points for a total of 5,000 points!!! Anyway, there will be points stolen from [Attracting Starlight], So there will be that much, right?]
Ah, I get it roughly.
[Vine of Life]’S attachment to the Apostle itself was sincere. But apart from that, there was also a purpose.
To her, her apostle was someone to feed and pet, but she was also baited. If such an apostle dies somewhere, he is the kind of opponent who will use that as an excuse to take away points.
There is attachment, but it is attachment to precious objects. If it were truly precious, what I am saying now would not be about compensation for damages, but rather a declaration of war.
[Yes, I will give it to you.]
[Then the story is fast. But…]
[You asked for 5,000 points, right? I’ll give you 10,000 points. Instead, please do not mention this matter in the future.]
[Well, if that’s the case.]
[And one thing. You have earned my enmity with this. From now on, you won’t look good to me, so behave well from now on.]
[Do you really mean to find my apostle and kill him?]
[You said shit, but you can’t blame the apostle. Even your apostles won’t fight and attack first. However… We’ll see about the constellation itself later. Got it?]
[Hmph, there’s no point in saying it like that, right?]
[That remains to be seen.]
Even if I end up fighting a phantom, I will be the judge of this civilization. Since I was the one who looked around here in detail in the first place, there is a high probability that I will be the one to judge.
[Vine of Life] I was able to briefly talk with the constellation. And I was able to roughly understand the tendencies of the constellations.
However, what they have in common is that the constellations do not view humans as one person. At best, they are viewed as pets, at best they are viewed as toys, and faith itself appears to be unimportant.
On the one hand, that was a bit questionable. At the point where they have faith points, they must be able to survive by receiving faith, so why don’t they take proper care of humans? In order to maintain existence as a god, greater resources are needed than now…
There are many questions. I have a lot of thoughts about it, but since I still have time, I’ll take my time and take my time. It’s only been about a month and a half since I came here.
And while I was researching, Yunho enjoyed social life. In particular, it is quite touching to appear on a TV program about a famous climber, answer an interview, and become successful.
-Apostle Yunho, if I had to choose the hottest apostle these days, I would pick Apostle Yunho. How do you feel?
-To be honest, I’m a bit confused… But I feel very grateful to the Constellation. This is the person who recognized, supported, and helped me from the time I first became a climber.
-Ah, you mean [Lord of Winter]? What kind of constellation is he? Since it is a constellation whose name has recently been revealed, people are very interested.
-You are an easy-going and very good constellation. I would say he feels like a close brother or friend. He’s such a good person that I’m just grateful to him, so I feel lucky enough to win first place in the lottery.
-If you don’t mind, I would like to know what kind of person [Monarch of Winter] Constellation likes…
It’s very fun to watch the broadcast with the MC asking me questions to get good conditions for me and Yunho praising me. However, the latter one is a bit embarrassing… No, it’s not a real constellation, and it feels like I’m faking it.
He may be a bit soft on the side, but he is determined when it matters and is a good kid. If I had a daughter in another episode, I might have married her off to Yunho.
Oh, what about Eden?
Haha, you bastard, haha.
First, if you like me and want to marry Eden, try surviving even after being hit by my evil emperor. If he can’t endure that, Eden is not worthy of being her husband.
No, other kids may not know, but Eden is a transcendental person, so if the problem is related to Eden, it’s probably also related to a transcendental person. Can a man who can’t even protect his own woman be called a man? I’ve been married to Zion for a long time, but I created Eden after I gained confidence after it was loaded.
Anyway, we’ve been hearing a lot of different stories, and along with that, there’s also some new news. There was news of a raid on the 70th floor of the Constellation Tower.
-Tiara Guild!!!! Conquer the 70th floor of Demon!!!!
-The Constellation Tower is expected to be 100 stories high. All that remains is the 30th floor!!!!!
-What does the guild leader of the Tiara guild want to achieve by conquering the tower!!!!!
There was news that the Tiara guild had previously offered to recruit Yunho, and that, under the leadership of that guild, he had cleared the 70th floor, the current highest level reached.
The Labyrinth Trial was initially focused on training, so it was a bit inflationary and there were over 100 floors just to keep growing, but this one had even 100 floors. If you think about that, you have cleared more than two thirds of the 70th floor.
And that served as an opportunity to deliver news to the Constellation Tower and the constellations within it.
[Currently, humanity on Earth has surpassed the 70th floor. In order to discuss future issues, we will hold a second Constellation meeting in one month, Earth time.]
Holy See?
I’m not sure, but I think it’s a place where you can meet all kinds of constellations and make a clear decision. I am also quite excited about that.
Perhaps that will determine the treatment of this civilization.
