Chapter 270

Yoo Jonghyuk’s entire body was trembling .

「…I can’t die . 」

「 I will never die here . 」

Yoo Jonghyuk’s desperate will was being conveyed through Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint .

“Hey, you…”

This Yoo Jonghyuk refused to ‘regress . ’

[The sponsor of incarnation ‘Yoo Jonghyuk’ is looking at his incarnation . ]

Yoo Jonghyuk’s sponsor was silent as this situation occurred for the first time . It was a mysterious silence . It seemed to be both angry and sad . Or perhaps there was no response . Not long after that, the gaze on Yoo Jonghyuk disappeared .

[The stigma ‘Regression Lv . 3’ has been cancelled . ]

Crazy, something like this was possible . The light of the stigma disappeared and Yoo Jonghyuk once again sagged down . His barely opened eyes closed and his mouth was mumbling something . I felt his desperate will to live . It was Yoo Jonghyuk’s unique commitment to somehow survive .

Yoo Jonghyuk’s thoughts were heard in my head .

「 Break it down . So I can eat . 」

I pulled out another Great Return Pill, turned it to powder and poured it into his mouth . The stories of the fallen man slowly stopped collapsing .

“…It’s fine . ”

Yoo Jonghyuk was betting everything into this round . He decided to forsake the premise that it was okay to fail a few times and to remain in this world . Perhaps he had lost consciousness but Yoo Jonghyuk didn’t say anything else . Instead, the stories wrapped around Yoo Jonghyuk’s body shone brightly .

[The story ‘Life and Death Companions’ wants to continue . ]

Life and Death Companions . It was a story that didn’t exist for Yoo Jonghyuk in the original novel .

「 “What is your relationship with Yoo Jonghyuk?”

“We are life and death companions . 」

It was at Chungmuro . It was clearly the conversation I had with Gong Pildu . I couldn’t help laughing . Now we would really live together or die together .

I ran while holding on tightly to Yoo Jonghyuk . My party members shouting in the distance could be seen .

I felt a hot heat behind me . Together with a fierce wind, fireballs narrowly brushed over my head . The chasing constellations were already right behind me .

[Did you call the demon king? Do you know what you have done?]

The constellations roared as a formidable aura poured towards me .

[Stupid bastard . Now the 73rd Demon Realm will perish!]

I shouted at Lee Hyunsung in front of me instead of replying to them . “Lee Hyunsung-ssi!”

Yoo Jonghyuk’s body flew through the air and Lee Hyunsung caught him . At the same time, I turned around and reflexively punched out . A running constellation collided with me and screamed .

Electrification struck the tail of the Scorpion Goddess and then Unbroken Faith slashed at the Thunder Eating Bird . The Blade of Faith absorbed power and shone brightly . Blood splashed and I unleashed with all the power of Electrification .

The number of constellations that followed me was seven . It was a number I couldn’t afford by myself . The bigger problem was that the dark clouds in the air were thickening . Dark clouds flocked like a sinister omen and the stars shining towards the 73rd Demon Realm disappeared one by one .

In fact, this was why I didn’t call Asmodeus until now . A series of dark lightning fell from the sky and the frightened constellations jumped back . Sparks flew in the air and the demon kings descended .

Now that Asmodeus was here, nothing was holding back the other demon kings . Unfortunately, the demon kings weren’t on my side .

[The demon king ‘Maker of Discord’ has appeared in the Demon World!]

[The demon king ‘Monarch who is a Philosopher about Corpses’ has appeared in the Demon World!]

The summoning of the incarnation bodies alone seemed to surpass the other constellations . Now there was no one who could help me .

[The 73rd Demon Realm is responding to your story . ]

The only thing I could believe in was the stories I had built .

“Everybody, step back! Maintain your strength as much as possible while I buy time!”

Then one of the party members went wild . There was a roaring sound from my side .

“Department Head-nim? What…”

Han Myungoh activated One-Legged Swift Runner and started running somewhere at a tremendous speed . It was the direction I came from . It was the place that contained Demon King Asmodeus .

***

[Ahahahahahat!]

Demon King Asmodeus laughed cheerfully . Arrows of light struck all over his body and blood flowed from his torn arm . However, only feelings of pleasure and joy could be seen on the face of the little girl .

[I’m happy! This is fun!]

Many constellations lost their incarnation bodies due to the Bloody Grip . However, there were still many constellations remaining .

The demon kings were basically existences equal to narrative-grade constellations . Normal constellations were unknown but there was no chance for Asmodeus to win against one of the Lokapala, Surya .

Surya opened his mouth like he couldn’t understand . [I wonder why, Demon King of Lust and Fury . ]

There was the sound of a giant drum bursting in the distance . Perhaps the constellations chasing the Demon King of Salvation were having the final showdown .

Surya couldn’t understand it .

Why were these humans still resisting? Why was a demon king taking sides with a human?

Asmodeus smiled like he was slightly exhausted . Surya raised his left hand and the attacks of the constellations ceased .

[Asmodeus, why are you siding with trivial humans?]

[Siding… I’m not siding with anyone . ] Asmodeus grinned while licking the blood on his hands . [It just seems fun . ]

[…Fun?]

[You don’t know . What is the story of the Demon King of Salvation?]

[I also saw it . It is a common story . ]

Asmodeus made a big fuss at the words .

[Hahahahat! Surya! You must’ve lost your eyes from all the light pouring out! I told you before . If you want to enjoy the stories for a long time, take good care of your eyesight . ]

[…I admit that the child is a good one among the new stars . However, it is a normal level in the Star Stream . He doesn’t yet have a myth-level story . ]

Surya frowned as his status spread out .

Asmodeus was still laughing . [A myth-level story… you have lived for a long time but you are still judging the stories by that?]

[It is only human history . No evaluation is needed . ]

[All stories eventually depart from history . ]

[…Asmodeus, you played around in the Gourmet Association and now you’re saying this . Then do you want to keep going? You will eventually lose your incarnation body . ]

[Well, I suppose . But before that…] The constellation was narrowing the distance one step at a time and Asmodeus suddenly opened his mouth . [By the way Surya, why are you obsessed with the Demon King of Salvation?]

[…Obsessed? What do you mean?]

[It isn’t just you but the nebulae . Isn’t that right?]

[It seems you are the one who is blind . ]

[At best, it is human history as you said . Yet you and Vedas keep trying to recruit the Demon King of Salvation . You failed and now you’re trying to kill him . This isn’t exactly like a giant nebula . ]

[…]

[At this point, I want to ask something . Why are you doing this?]

Surya had no words for a moment . There was a subtle emotion on his face . Surya hurriedly raised his right hand as if to hide his feelings . It was a sign for the constellations to attack . At this moment,

Asmodeus said, [Wait, ahaha… hahahat . I see . Surya…]

[…]

[You… I heard about what happened at the Gourmet Association .

Surya’s raised hand stopped .

[The Demon King of Salvation is pursuing the ‘last scenario . ’ That’s why you hate him . Right?]

Surya’s fingers trembled, showing his agitation . Asmodeus scoffed at the shaking .

[It is because you can’t get the qualification of the end . ]

A spear of light pierced Asmodeus’ body . Asmodeus’ lips held a deep ridicule as he was constantly pierced by spears of light .

Blood dripped down . The urgently implemented incarnation body was much weaker than usual . Asmodeus held the intestines that were flowing from his torn skin .

[…The human body is really uncomfortable . ]

Asmodeus ignored the incoming constellations and looked up at the sky . Stars could be seen through the dark cloud . The light and darkness in the sky were competing against each other .

The strong existences surrounding the 73rd Demon Realm were moving . Asmodeus had lived for a long time but he hadn’t seen something like this before .

Today, something tremendous was happening in the Demon World .

Surya’s spear of light moved and the constellations poured magic power towards Asmodeus . The moment that Asmodeus’ incarnation body was going to die .

Dududududu!

A cloud of dust obscured the view of the constellation . The astonished constellations paused for a moment and someone embraced Asmodeus’ small body . Even Asmodeus was surprised this time . He had lived for many years but had never been saved by anyone .

[You…?]

Han Myungoh was running while carrying him . One arm and a part of Han Myungoh’s left arm had disappeared from the constellations’ attacks .

Asmodeus muttered with a bemused expression . [Why…]

He knew the identity of this person but Asmodeus couldn’t understand why this person came here . Han Myungoh might be a member of his household but this loyalty…

Han Myungoh strongly hugged Asmodeus without answering . A blind and big heart could be felt . The emotions weren’t directed at Asmodeus .

Asmodeus smiled as he was held in Han Myungoh’s arms .

[Really, this scenario is truly interesting…]

***

“I’m sorry everyone . I think you have to come with me . ”

The moment Kim Dokja said, this, Lee Hyunsung was the first to stand up .

“I was waiting . ”

Yoo Sangah and the Breaking the Sky Master followed while the frightened Shin Yoosung clenched her fists . Osu, who was the size of a guinea pig, barked .

It was a humbling power but they were determined . Humans didn’t back down in front of the ‘status’ of the constellations .

There was an explosion and the battle began . One blow broke bones, two blows caused a deep wound and three blows couldn’t guarantee their life .

The demon kings were making things more and more chaotic . The demon kings flew through the air like released strings .

“Kuheeok!” It was Lee Hyunsung who flopped down first .

The chimera dragon screamed as its wings were broken .

Jang Hayoung sat down and watched all of it . “Ah, ahh . Ah…”

Jang Hayoung was overcome by overwhelming helplessness and couldn’t move . The Breaking the Sky Swordsmanship that Jang Hayoung learnt was too weak . The techniques he learnt through the wall weren’t enough to deal with the constellations .

Jang Hayoung held the place that was hit by the demon king and gazed at the fighting Kim Dokja .

The Demon King of Salvation he had long wanted to meet was struggling .

His ribs and right arm were broken . Jang Hayoung wanted to fight together . Only the stars in the sky were shining without mercy . There were so many stars so why wasn’t anyone helping them?

[The exclusive skill ‘Unidentified Wall’ is activated!]

In fact, he had done it many times already . He sent messages several times to the modifiers Kim Dokja mentioned but there was no reply . Nevertheless, Jang Hayoung kept sending unanswered prayers to the constellations .

‘Please, please just one person . ’

[The Unidentified Wall asks, “Do you really want to help?]

The wall was slightly vibrating .

[The Unidentified Wall asks, “Do you really want to help?]

He nodded . ‘I want to help . I can accept any price . Please . ’

The next moment, numerous messages appeared in front of Jang Hayoung’s eyes .

-Hello . Do you perhaps know Kim Dokja? He is looking for constellations…

-Hello constellation . You don’t know me but I have to ask a favour… if Kim Dokja…

-Constellation, please help me . Kim Dokja is in danger .

-Please help . Please…

… . .

Jang Hayoung read the hundreds of messages that surfaced in front of him with a blank expression .

They were all messages from himself .

[There are currently 124 messages waiting to be sent . ]

To be exact, they were messages he thought he had sent .

“W-Why…?”

Goosebumps covered his entire body . It was the reason why a reply didn’t come from numerous constellations .

[The Unidentified Wall said, “I was told not to send it”]

“Who?”

[The Unidentified Wall says, “It is an existence higher than me . ”]

He didn’t know who it was . However, Jang Hayoung could see what he had to do now . “Send them . Right now! Send all of them!”

The Unidentified Wall was silent for a moment .

[The Unidentified Wall is sighing . “Don’t regret it . ”]

The next moment, his head was going to burst from the pain .

[124 messages have been sent . ]

Like water being discharged from a damn, numerous messages were released from Jang Hayoung and flew through the sky . Time passed . One minute, two minutes… Jang Hayoung stared up at the sky without releasing the string of hope .

[The constellation ‘One-Eyed Maitreya’ has entered the channel . ]

Then somebody answered . Similar to a meteor shower, the sound of people entering the channel didn’t stop .

[The constellation ‘Brash Swamp Predator’ has entered the channel . ]

[The constellation ‘Seo Ae Il Pil’ has entered the channel . ]

[The constellation ‘First Spiritualist of Joseon’ has entered the channel . ]

[The constellation ‘Goryeo’s First Sword’ has entered the channel . ]

[The constellation of a small planet has entered the channel . ]

The distorted balance of the sky changed and Jang Hayoung listened to all the messages with joy and despair .

[The constellation ‘Secretive Plotter’ has entered the channel . ]
