The Constellation Returned From Hell

Chapter 99



Chapter 99

‘What nonsense is it saying?’

The cat constellation’s words dumbfounded Choi Yeonseung.

Hunter skills like magic and martial arts were secrets of great value. Many hunters entered dungeons just to obtain a magic or martial art book. Yet it suggested spreading information like that on the Internet?

[The ‘Cat of Lava and Magma’ finds it unfair because there are already quite a few videos like that. It says you’re not aware, so why are you criticizing it?]

‘...... ’

Choi Yeonseung looked as if he found it difficult to believe.

“Gutierrez.”

“What is it?”

“Are there videos on how to learn magic on Youtube? There isn’t, right?”

“There is, though?”

“... ! ! !”

Choi Yeonseung was shocked. There was?

“None are about rare magic, of course. Even videos about 3rd-circle magic are already hard to find, but the ones about 1st and 2nd-circle magic that are common because they’re released a lot.”

That was right. The times had changed from when Choi Yeonseung was still active. Back then, there were only a few spells available, a few hunters, and no individual broadcasts...

He was now in a completely different era. The awakened hunters no longer had to focus on risking their lives inside dungeons. As long as they awakened, they could achieve success in many different ways. They could join raid sports, broadcasting, or go into business...

Choi Yeonseung watched the videos Elisabeth showed him with a look of shock and dismay.

[Actual story of a 6-year-old hunter’s raid.]

[Billions of dollars in one month? An intensive analysis of a hunter’s life!]

[An F-grade hunter’s secret to making 100 million in three months!]

[Korean national team’s coach, Lee Changsik. Is this okay? Receiving special treatment just for being an A-grade hunter...]

[Hunter-turned-chef’s super simple steak recipe!]

It was amazing how many videos there were! Even back when Choi Yeonseung was still active, many people envied and were interested in hunters. Once it became possible for individuals to easily broadcast and upload videos, that interest exploded.

“Don’t just search with the terms ‘hunter’ or ‘raid.’ Try searching for ‘Magic Arrow’.”

He followed Elisabeth’s advice, and other videos came out.

[A must-see video for those who don’t have any skills to use! The easiest way to get the 1st-circle magic, Magic Arrow!]

[Easily target E-grade dungeons with one Magic Arrow! Follow along and learn how to cast Magic Arrow!]

[Goodbye, ordinary Magic Arrow! Subscribe right now to get a high-ranking Magic Arrow!]

“... ! !”

Choi Yeonseung was shocked. What was all this? There were many ways to acquire magic spells. They could learn using items like magic books obtained while going around dungeons or?from someone who had a skill they wanted. The latter was a much more difficult method.

If a hunter was qualified, then they could immediately learn it from a magic book. On the other hand, they’d have to keep practicing the skill until they had perfected it if they learned it from others. They could also get seriously hurt if they made a mistake. It was difficult to listen to others and copy magic in the first place.

Of course, Magic Arrow was just 1st-circle magic, so it was really easy to learn...

Still, should it be released in a free video?

“There is nothing to be surprised about.”

Elisabeth thought it was a bit funny.

Choi Yeonseung, who was usually always calm and unaffected by anything, actually seemed shocked!

“1st-circle magic spells that have been released a lot like Magic Arrow have often had hunters figured out how they work. Isn’t it less than $1 anyway? Publishing videos like this will make money pour in through advertisements.”

“I don’t really need money.”

Choi Yeonseung wasn’t short on money. He didn’t have a lot either, but Hwang Gyeongryong was one of the richest people in the world. That man would pay as much money as needed for work!

“Rather than making money, it’s to help hunters who don’t know anything about martial arts. Isn’t it okay? There are very few videos related to martial arts.”

Choi Yeonseung taught martial arts to hunters for free. He was unbelievably a push—No, he did an act of kindness, and his intentions were very honorable.

-We’ll be fighting monsters together. I don’t mind teaching you this much.

If he spread martial arts through videos, hunters around the world would see it and be interested. Many people were currently interested in martial arts due to what happened in Las Vegas and the UHC match.

“Are there really no videos related to martial arts?”

“Uh… Why don’t we search for it?”

Elisabeth searched for ‘martial art.’

[Why did martial arts disappear? Hunter World’s analysis.]

[I put a martial arts book obtained from a dungeon in the auction house for $1. No one is buying it...]

[Who among the 1st generation hunters will disappear quickly? Those famous for martial arts...]

Afraid that Choi Yeonseung would get hurt, Elisabeth immediately turned off the video.

“Why turn it off?”

“N-Nothing.”

“I’m not that hurt, so turn it back on.”

Those weren’t the only videos, however.

[Las Vegas raid’s live broadcast.]

[An old hunter at the age of retirement did something amazing?!]

[UHC Maximilian Fitzpatrick vs Choi Yeonseung.]

[The resurrection of martial arts? Let me tell you what martial arts is!]

“Hmm. Unexpectedly, I am interested.”

Most of the videos had no value, and those who talked about martial arts were just E-grade hunters! Hence, it was only natural that few hunters knew about martial arts. It hurt his heart to watch E-grade hunters stammering and talking about martial arts, which they didn’t even know much about, on other people’s broadcasts.

‘Martial arts isn’t like that.’

“Um. There is certainly no harm in raising the basic level of martial arts.”

"Right?”

Elisabeth was delighted when Choi Yeonseung expressed interest. Her opinion was helpful.

“There are some hunters I know who are famous for this. I can call them to help you.”

“Do you really have to?”

“Don’t underestimate Youtube. Beginners will be buried without anyone even noticing them.” Elisabeth spoke seriously. Many hunters were now posting videos, making the industry very competitive. Just being a B-grade hunter wasn’t enough!

“... Isn’t it okay if it is me?” Choi Yeonseung asked while folding down his fingers one by one. He had been in the Abyss for 30 years and was a 1st generation hunter, a martial artist, a B-grade hunter, and a member of the Icarus clan...

“That isn’t enough! I will help you.”

“You don’t have to...”

“I know this editor who used to be a director. He’s really amazing and has great artistic talent.”

“......”

“For those who will make an appearance, among the hunters here...”

[The ‘Cat of Lava and Magma’ asks if the hunter should be stopped.]

Elisabeth was talking excitedly to herself, only to suddenly stop and ask, “By the way, what are you going to film?”

“Um... I will make the basic martial arts I gave you, the ‘Beginner’s Martial Arts Set,’ easier to learn.”

The Icarus clan members were some of the best talents in the world. They were all B-grade and were among the top 1% of hunters. The Beginner’s Martial Arts Set was made with them in mind. Hence, it could naturally be more difficult for normal hunters to learn. He decided to go?with Super?Simple Beginner’s Martial Arts Set!

“... Why don’t you change the name to something cooler?”

“Really? Well, If I have to, I can?use Supreme?King’s Swordsmanship as a cover.”

Cool!

Elisabeth hesitated. Come to think of it, what she learned was called Beginner's Swordsmanship. It would give her a stomach ache if hunters went around saying that they had learned the Supreme King’s Swordsmanship.

“No. Come to think of it, shouldn’t Super Simple Beginner’s Swordsmanship be good enough?”

***

The idea for the video was good, but they had to finish training first.

A place where monsters became stronger every time they went up a floor. On the 4th floor, a B-grade monster, the ice wyvern, spawned. It was a bit embarrassing, but the hunters killed it easily. With Choi Yeonseung at the front and Odaigon in charge of the buffs and?heals, the rest of the hunters could comfortably run around. In fact, the two filled more than half the roles!

“Wait. If B-grade monsters are already appearing on the 4th floor, then what about the 5th floor?”

“The 5th floor will also be filled with B-grade. It honestly wouldn’t be strange for the same monsters to emerge.”

Even hunters belonging to the same grade had differences in power. The same was true for monsters. It started at B- and ended at B+. Even within the same grade, the hunters were divided between strong and weak. The hunters currently predicted that this dungeon would be around 10-15 floors. After all, its original version had more than ten floors. Taking that into consideration, the 5th floor would likely be filled with only B-grade monsters, perhaps even the slightly weaker B-grade monsters.

[You have entered the 5th floor.]

-■■■■■■!!

A horrifying shout echoed, and the hunters stiffened.

A monster’s unique roar! The screams that a monster emitted with its magic power dealt high damage, much like area-of-effect skills. However, the hunters here were all B-grade hunters with a level of 200 or higher. In addition, they had cast defensive magic before entering. What type of monster would immediately try to damage them?

‘Banshee!’

Opaque and looking like evil spirits, the banshee screamed and released magic power from all over her body. It was also a powerful ghost-type monster?that ignored most attacks. Hence, it was rated A-grade! The hunters cursed Ernest for putting an A-grade monster on the 5th floor instead of settling for B, B+, or even A-.

‘He’s crazy!’

‘Aren’t they overreacting?’

As everyone was cursing Ernest, Choi Yeonseung alone felt admiration.

‘This is only proper. After all, this is how a real dungeon functions.’

Hunters couldn’t know what would come out of dungeons. What they knew in advance and what they could actually face were different! This was a great way to train them to avoid panicking inside a real dungeon.

-Wise Healing Waves!

Choi Yeonseung and Odaigon didn’t take much damage from the banshee’s screams. Choi Yeonseung protected himself with internal energy, and?Odaigon?countered the monster’s attack by releasing strong magic power from his body. As Odaigon freed the hunters, Choi Yeonseung charged at the banshee to buy time. The moment he used Origin of the Celestial Step, he?disappeared as if he teleported.

Extreme speed!

Unable to aim at Choi Yeonseung, the banshee became flustered and hesitated. Meanwhile, Choi Yeonseung was already behind the banshee. Sword energy flashed and split the banshee apart.

[The banshee has protected herself with the power of evil darkness!]

[It has absorbed most of the?sword energy!]

“!”

-■■!

The banshee screamed and shook off Choi Yeonseung. She didn’t have a physical body, and she protected herself with dark magic. Hence, despite being directly hit, she was still quite unharmed. He had to attack with more magic power or stronger sword energy!

‘Isn’t this too much?’

Choi Yeonseung smacked his lips together with regret. He took the initiative and landed an accurate attack, but he failed to kill her. Hence, he adjusted his skill level from the top of first class to the beginning of peak class. His level went up to the low 300s, and his hunter rank reached A- from B+. That much improvement shouldn’t raise suspicion from the other constellations.

However, this situation disappointed him. Apart from concentrated sword energy, he now had to use sword energy sparingly.

‘It isn’t like there isn’t a way, though.’

Choi Yeonseung was far too experienced to let being unable to use concentrated sword energy stop him from killing monsters. In addition, Odaigon, Choi Yeonseung’s household member, was here!

“Odaigon. I need your help...”

“I’m coming!”

“Hey! Why did you stop using recovery magic?!”

The hunters were shocked to see?Odaigon?just throwing away everything and going straight to Choi Yeonseung. That showed his true personality!
