Chapter 326 (1/2)

“Hmm. Orabeoni, this is what you mean. You went to Fortren or something and got an owl by chance. You found it was an owl with special abilities and it was actually a Lechuza?”

“Yes, that’s correct.”

I nodded a bit and confirmed Park Maksuns words.

“Now. You have good luck. It is a jackpot. A jackpot.”

Park Maksun let out an old-fashioned laugh and I laughed along with her. I hadn’t given a detailed explanation to Park Maksun. There were too many stories to tell if I started from the beginning. In any case, I currently just wanted to rest.

“Uhuh. I want to sleep.”

“Ouch. I can sit down and relax.”

Park Maksun sat down, stretching out her legs and pounding her waist. I made a small pillow with Jinny’s clouds and lay down on the side. Some time passed and the main character of the snoring sound wasn’t me, but Park Maksun.

“Snooore!”

“......”

She said she didn’t want to sleep but her nose was dirty.

“Groan.”

I immediately raised my upper body and stared up at the sky. Then I looked down and stared at the ground. Night on the continent was very beautiful. It happened at this time...

“This...?”

[The first apostle, ‘Prometheus,’ is sensing the energy of constellations.]

[The third apostle, ‘Atlas,’ feels multiple constellations.]

It was as Prometheus and Atlas said. The place I was currently looking at was the entrance of the Orca Kingdom where a large number of people were standing. However, they were blocked by a barrier and couldn’t enter. At a glance, it was clear that the strong power of the constellations that Prometheus felt was coming from there.

“I can't even rest properly. Aigoo.”

I barely got onto my knees and woke Park Maksun up by shaking her.

“Park Maksun.”

“Snooore!”

“Park Maksun!”

“Cough! W-What is it? What? Huh?”

Park Maksun was embarrassed about sleeping well. She made eye contact with me before coughing and shifting her gaze. I talked to her like nothing had happened. “Wake up. We have to get off.”

“Oh my my, already? It is terribly fast. It is truly the 5G era.”

Park Maksun rubbed her eyes, dusted off her butt and stood up. A short time later, we were able to meet the constellations led by Aries and the soldiers of Metheus. Metheus's soldiers shouted when I appeared from the sky and raised their weapons.

I raised my hand to stop them from cheering. Then Kim Sujeong and Ma Seokdu approached me.

“You’re here, Father.”

“It is hard on both of you.”

I gently comforted the two of them and approached Aries from behind. Her hair was even more curled up than before.

[I heard from the two of them that you were coming. However, something unexpected happened. The barrier surrounding the kingdom is much stronger than we thought. It seems we need to find another way to attack.]

I heard Aries’ words and turned my gaze back to the barrier in front of me. The pale violet and pink barrier exuded a bright light like no one was allowed in and out. If all the constellations came here and joined their power with me then it might be possible. However—

“I have a way.”

[...You have a way?]

“Yes.” I glanced back at Aries. If it wasn’t possible from the outside then it was possible from the inside. “My little brother is in there right now.”

He was a bit untrustworthy, but let’s trust him first.

At Dark Moon, the residence of the dokkaebi king...

Around this time, Mido’s group was struggling against the dokkaebi king. The dokkaebi king, Shokkobi, was very strong. In the first place, Shokkobi was the first dokkaebi, like Mudur was the first orc. His strength had accumulated from the past until now and he reached the point where he could even surpass a constellation. In any case, the group was forced to be helpless in front of Shokkobi’s formidable power.

[Ugh, the strength of the dokkaebi king is this high...!]

The archer star, Chiron, barely escaped the bat that swung at him by bowing down. Behind Chiron, the wasp constellation, Musca, flew up and stabbed the long stinger on the back of his hand toward Shokkobi’s leg.

[Haaaat!]

However, Musca’s sting couldn’t penetrate Shokkobi’s skin. Musca was amazed. His stinger could pierce even steel. The fact that it was blocked meant that Shokkobi’s skin far exceeded the strength of steel.

[This is ridiculous...]

The rabbit constellation, Lepus, passed by Musca like the wind. He used the power of his hind legs and moved at a dazzling speed. Lepus left a faint afterimage behind and captured Shokkobi’s attention. In the gap, Chiron’s arrow found its target. Chiron was known as the Sage of the East and he started to look for the enemy’s weakness using Sage's Eyes.

Chiron was once called a weapons master because he could handle all the weapons in the world using Sage's Eyes. Now he was holding a bow in his hand.

[Over here!]

Chiron released the bowstring and the place his arrow aimed for was Shokkobi’s Achilles tendon. For the first time, a scream emerged from Shokkobi’s mouth.

“Aaack! These guys! It hurts!”

Shokkobi stared at Chiron, who fired an arrow at him, with wide open eyes.

“Kuuack. A single constellation is looking down on an original existence!”

Shokkobi’s body was filled with a burning energy and he raised his bat high and swung it downwards. It was clear that something was unusual.

“Oppas. Isn’t this a dangerous situation?”

“Shit. I think we should avoid it!”

“Hey! Kim Hyeonu. Is there no way? You’re a tanker!”

“Do you think I don’t feel any pain? If I’m hit by that, I will die immediately!”

Eun Jeonghyeok, Park Taehyeon, Kim Hyeonu, and Mido were helpless. Half of the Icarus Guild members had already been hit by the bat and were in a situation where they couldn’t attack. Therefore, the attack about to be released would have tremendous destructive power. It was evident that he was gathering energy.

“Guruk!”

Chunza had been ordered to wait until Mido was in danger and now she flew toward Shokkobi from a distance. Mido also noticed it and shouted loudly, “Ah, Chunza!”

Chunza ignored her and appeared in front of Shokkobi who was gathering a huge amount of energy. Chunza raised the magic power of the moon to pour out various magic and the bright yellow power of the moon embraced Chunza. It happened the moment the image of the owl formed on Shokkobi’s retinas...

“Crescent...?”

Shokkobi put away the energy he had accumulated.

At the Orca Kingdom, Duke Doug’s mansion...

Currently, Drain was scouring the mansion to see if there was anyone like him who wasn’t affected by the mental magic. The first one he found was naturally Duke Doug. The mansion was empty and it wasn’t difficult to find the duke’s room. Drain carefully opened the door and stepped inside.
