Chapter 242

There were 10 constellations gathered here . I didn’t know where the remaining four were but maybe they were scattered somewhere in the scenario area .

[If you don’t yield…]

[I’ll eat you too . ]

The true voices of the constellations flowed from the mouths of the evil spirits . I didn’t hesitate and infused magic power into the sword .

[The exclusive skill ‘White Pure Star Energy Lv . 8′ has been activated . ]

It was Iris’ magic power instead of mine . Still, Iris was an incarnation who came all this way and her potential was considerable . The white energy was added to Eoren’s Sword and the aura around it became more abundant .

Eoren’s Sword was a weapon that could deal a powerful blow to evil spirits for 10 minutes . However, a powerful weapon didn’t necessarily mean I would dominate this place .

A constellation saw my sword and laughed .

[Hahah, slow down! Small constellation . Please entertain these old people!]

[What old people? I haven’t lived 500 years yet . There are those older than us . ]

Was it because this was the first time I was attached to a young girl’s body? My sword could only draw a clumsy trajectory through the air .

The constellations might not be able to use all their power but a constellation was a constellation . They ranged from great-grade to lesser-grade .

The constellations who gathered to become evil spirits released their status . Iris’ movements started to stiffen as the 10 constellations released their energy . Her body thrashed like she was caught in an invisible spider web . The spiders who trapped her were approaching .

I looked at Iris’ body that was trembling regardless of my will and bit my lips . It was always like this but this time would be different .

[Don’t look down on me . I am also a constellation . ]

So far, I had never properly released my status . I had been fighting my way through the Demon World scenario in a sick state . However, I had been steadily recovering my stories while riding on the Gourmet Association’s carriage . Thus, I might not be at a 100% state but I could use a ‘status’ that was almost equal to it .

[The constellation ‘status’ is released . ]

Some of my stories started responding to the situation .

[The history-grade story ‘Gourmet Association Heretic’ is rebelling against the surrounding oppression!]

[The legendary grade story’Demon King of Salvation’ is responded to incarnation Iris’ situation!]

The surrounding ground was split apart with a loud sound and the nearby forest shook . The constellations were astonished by the flood of sparks in the area .

In this scenario, the descended constellations could only use 10% of their power . On the other hand, I used ‘Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint’ instead of ‘advent’ and was able to release my original status .

[How can a newcomer have this much status?]

[…Is this really the ‘advent’ state?]

The constellations didn’t know this fact and were almost terrified . They were mistaking the current status as 10% of my original strength . It was the reason I was pushing myself in such an unreasonable manner .

[Either die or get lost . Choose one or the other . ]

I had to get them right not before they stopped being fooled .

[C-Cheeky bastard…!]

[…The Star Stream is really wide . Where did a guy like this pop up from?]

Some of the constellations shrank back from the pressure I gave off while others were burning with enthusiasm .

[Kuhahahat! The best dish . Today’s Gourmet Association Festival is the best!]

The constellations emitted terrible shrieks and the arms of the evil spirits stretched towards this side . I hurriedly stepped back and swung my sword but couldn’t cut off the incoming arms . Iris’ voice was heard in my head .

‘S-Sorry! I’m a terrible swordsman…!’

Shit . This was why my movements were like this . Blood splashed as Iris was wounded . Did they realize something from my movements? The momentum of the constellations was changing .

[…Something is strange?]

The constellations spread out and carried out sporadic attacks using the bodies of the evil spirits . I tried to defend by swinging the sword but it wasn’t easy since Iris’ swordsmanship skill level was too low .

The result was quite different from when I was in Yoo Jonghyuk’s body . Once again, I realized how great Yoo Jonghyuk was .

[Indeed . only that guy’s status is high . Get rid of him!]

[There is no need to worry about the sword . Hahaha, today we will eat!]

The worst situation that I wanted to somehow avoid was unfolding . The attacks of the evil spirits flew from everywhere . There was a small scythe that grazed my legs . A boomerang turned around and aimed at my back . A long spear pierced through a gap and struck my side . In less than a minute, Iris’ body was covered with wounds and bruises .

My physical strength was rapidly dropping . I hurriedly opened Bookmark and Way of the Wind but it felt awkward in Iris’ body . Eventually, my footsteps became twisted up and I was disoriented . The constellations aimed for this short gap and stretched out their arms towards me .

“Kuek…”

Iris was caught by the neck and hung helplessly in the air .

[You have bad luck, newcomer . ]

The constellations acted like it was over as they opened their mouths .

[It is eating time . ]

Grotesque fangs grew and digestive juices dripped from their mouths . Since they could customize the appearance of the evil spirits, it was really the worst taste .

I opened my mouth without hesitation . “I will activate the fifth bookmark . ”

In fact, I didn’t want to use this skill here . I wasn’t sure if Iris’ body could endure it, nor did I want to consume an excessive amount of probability . Nevertheless, there was no other way .

[The fifth bookmark is activated . ]

The moment that Bookmark was activated, an unexpected message arrived .

[The skill is not suitable for this person . ]

[The exclusive skill ‘Miniaturization’ is cancelled . ]

[The exclusive skill ‘Electrification’ is cancelled . ]

The power of Bookmark disappeared with the sound of sparks . Sometimes a skill wasn’t compatible with the chemistry of the body . But why did it have to happen now? I never expected this .

[Is this your last hurrah? Yes, give it a try . ]

Along with the ridiculing voice, a long tongue slipped out from the mouth of the evil spirit and started to strangle Iris’ throat . My prayers were blocked and I turned blue . I could feel Iris’ consciousness blurring . The connection with Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint was weakening .

[The attribute effect has accelerated your thinking ability . ]

Dozens of thoughts crossed my mind during this crisis until something was caught in the net .

…I didn’t know if it was possible . My understanding of the character was still low . Still, I could try it .

“I will release Knight of Revolution Mark Javier from the sixth slot . ”

I released my ‘status’ as much as possible and instantly escaped from the capture of the constellation . Then I continued speaking . “I will place the South Palace Management’s Breaking the Sky Sword Saint in that spot . ”

[The number six bookmark is activated . ]

An immense presence permeated me . I felt all the things I’ve read, felt and experience become one and nestle in my body .

[Your understanding of this person is insufficient!]

It felt like the first time I loaded Kyrgios Rodgraim .

[W-What…?!]

[…What power is this?]

Astonishment filled the eyes of the Gourmet Association constellations .

[The level of the character is too high to fully reproduce the skill level . ]

[The level of the character is too high so only a part of the skill is activated . ]

[The duration of the bookmark is reduced due to a low understanding of the character . ]

The original Breaking the Sky Swordsmanship was a skill that could only be used by women .

Yoo Jonghyuk overcame it with effort but it was unreasonable for me .

[Your current body configuration is similar to the physical makeup of the character in question . ]

To be exact, it would’ve been impossible with my original body .

[The exclusive skill ‘Breaking the Sky Swordsmanship’ Lv . 10 (+1) has been activated . ]

Thunder fell from the sky and nestled in Eoren’s Sword . I released the maximum amount of power possible at the optimum time . Everything was over before the constellations even noticed the situation .

[The exclusive skill ‘Breaking the Sky Thunder Sword’ Lv . 10 (+1) has been activated . ]

The blue thunder that could overturn the earth flew from the sky and struck everything in the area . The words of Ways of Survival passed through my head .

「 The Murim don’t consider the Breaking the Sky Sword Saint as one of the 10 Grand Masters . 」(TL: Changed teenage masters to 10 Grand Masters) .

The bodies of the evil spirits scattered into ashes without even screaming .

「 The Murim people think of the Breaking the Sky Sword Saint as a type of disaster . 」

Born as a small human and facing the constellations after hard work . This was the strength of the Breaking the Sky Sword Saint, a disaster of Murim .

[The skill has exceeded the talent of the incarnation body . ]

I felt something twisting as blood flowed . The result was obvious . It was a force that Iris and I couldn’t use because we weren’t transcendents . The sky blinked like a power failure had occurred .

The dazzling thunderbolts disappeared and there were no evil spirits left in the surroundings .

[The constellation ‘Brash Swamp Predator’ has been eliminated from the scenario . ]

[The constellation ‘Tranquil Island Gourmet’ has been eliminated from the scenario . ]

[The constellation ‘Forgotten Lord of Envy’ has been eliminated from the scenario . ]

…

[A total of 10 constellations have been eliminated from the scenario . ]

[You have earned an unbelievable achievement!]

[A series of impossible feats have been accomplished in a row!]

I was barely breathing as I looked up at the sky .

[The Star Stream is paying attention to your achievements . ]

[A new story for you is being prepared . ]

The constellation’s status might’ve been extremely limited but they still massacred the incarnations . Thus, there was no way I wouldn’t get a story .

Blood emerged from my mouth while pouring simultaneously from my ears and nose . Blood poured out from many holes and I almost became used to the taste . Fortunately, the probability allowed by the Gourmet Association meant I could still endure .

I plastered Iris’ broken body with fragments of the story . The shock from the Breaking the Sky Sword Saint’s technique had already caused Iris’ consciousness to disappear .

[The constellations of the Gourmet Association are astonished by the contents of the scenario . ]

[Some constellations of the Gourmet Association have become hostile to you . ]

I knew I would be hated . However, there was always something to gain from losing something .

[Some constellations of the Gourmet Association are very curious about your story . ]

[Some constellations of the Gourmet Association feel favourable towards you . ]

I stumbled away with Iris’ body and headed towards the volcano . Iris would survive once this scenario was completed . In order to complete the scenario, I had to throw the bracelet into the volcano lava .

There wasn’t much distance remaining . 40 steps, 30 steps, 20 steps…

My face became hot as I neared the lava . The cliff that I could throw the bracelet was clear when I felt someone’s presence . I expected them to appear now . There were still four evil spirits that I hadn’t finished off .

[Demon King of Salvation, you are doing something really interesting . ]

The familiar voice entered my ears as I tightly gripped Eoren’s Sword . I looked back and a familiar looking girl stood there . She was an evil spirit but her basic appearance hadn’t changed at all .

I opened my mouth . “Asmodeus . ”

Asmodeus was ecstatic, as if feeling pleasure that his name was called .

[…Ah, let me call you again . ]

The person who damaged Yoo Jonghyuk’s body and was the main culprit behind the third round failing .

I felt Asmodeus’ status slowly approaching . This was the power of only 10% . As expected, one of the 72 demon kings was on a different dimension .

I took a step back and vigilantly watched my surroundings . It was still a difficult situation . Even if I removed this guy, there were still three more evil spirits remaining . My chances of winning were gone if they came . So before that…

[Don’t be so vigilant . There are no other constellations . ]

Three small heads were hanging from the small hands of the smiling Asmodeus . The black cloak billowed around the severed heads . They weren’t the heads of incarnations .

A chill rose very slowly from the tip of my toes . In this brief moment, I understood why Asmodeus was described as a madman in Ways of Survival . There was a cold smile on Asmodeus’ face that was smeared with the blood of constellations .

[I devoured all of them . ]
