The Constellation Returned From Hell-Chapter 341

The ones currently fighting the summoned minions in the sky were China’s esteemed fighter jets, the J-32. These high-tech fighter jets were equipped with air-to-air missiles, glide bombs, and guided bombs with which they could pinpoint and attack precise locations!

In the era where magic was essential, the fighter jets were naturally also equipped with various magic artifacts, including invisibility magic.

As could be seen from these fighter jets, the Chinese military had some kind of plan. The people in the city had said things like “Are you initiating a bombardment now? Are you insane?!” However, the Chinese military wouldn’t just bomb an area full of civilians unless they were crazy.

-Can we really just destroy the shield?

-Don’t worry. If we use the power of the artillery brigade and the power of a constellation, we’ll be able to break through the defense. From now on, we are going to burn the vampire with a precise bombardment!

-There are complaints from the hunter clans gathered at the scene right now. No matter how many self-propelled guns and howitzers we use, it won’t help. I’d rather ask the hunters to support us with their magic power...

-Isn’t it the same with hunters? They can’t break the shield! Almost all of them are arrogant and get all sorts of special treatment! Didn’t they whine for military support during the last monster wave when they thought they were at a disadvantage?

In any country, the hunters and the army didn’t get along very well.

The hunters looked down on the military and claimed that they never helped during monster waves. Meanwhile, the military hated hunters because they always ended up asking for their help when they found themselves in trouble, and then they still sucked up all the rewards.

That was especially true in China, where people in power had rigid mentalities and internal conflicts were widespread.

-If you can’t pierce or break the shield itself, the clan leaders will be humiliated.

-Don’t worry. We’re using new shells this time.

-...Is it a newly developed shell from the research institute?

The reason the officer had asked that question so anxiously wasn’t because he was worried about the power; it was because he wasn’t confident at all in their internal production of weaponry.

-No, we’re using ammunition imported from the United States.

-Ah, then it should be fine.

-There is also the power of the constellation!

After carefully planning the operation, the military units gathered near the city initiated the artillery fire. At the same time, the fighter jets also entered the battle and prepared to coordinate.

-What? Isn’t it more powerful?

-It doesn’t make sense… But it’s actually more powerful! The amount of magic power has increased significantly!

-What? Have they developed a new weapon?

-But the Academy of Military Sciences isn’t even that good...?

The Chinese hunters in the city watched the bombardment with shocked expressions. Unfortunately, the Chinese military and the Chinese research institutes weren’t very trustworthy when it came to raids.

Distrust had been building up ever since the Abyss gate had opened. After all, it was to be expected, given how many times the party lied about weapons, claiming that they could wipe out A-grade monsters when in reality they barely functioned.

-By the way, this power really is no joke.

-Did they make a contract with an evil god constellation?

-How can you say something like that? They must’ve really developed a new weapon.

-Wow... The Academy of Military Sciences is finally showing some results for all those tax money...?

-I hope they’ll provide support for raids in the future.

The hunters kept debating on how the military had managed to come up with such powerful weapons, but they were suddenly stopped by something above them.

A fighter jet had just fired a missile through a hole in the shield.

-Ohhhhhh!

-Isn’t this amazing?!

Even the hunters who hated the military couldn’t help being impressed by their coordinated attacks! They had weakened the shield with artillery fire, made a hole in it, then fired a smart missile through it with precision to snipe the boss monster!

This was the pinnacle of human science and technology. Of course, there was also magic involved, but when witnessing such innovation and tactical prowess, one couldn’t help feeling a sense of pride in the achievements of humanity…

-...Wait. Uuhh… Where is it going??

-Hey! Why is that thing going down?

The delighted hunters were suddenly startled and pointed toward the missile, which, instead of detonating mid-air, was heading toward them.

-What the hell is this?! Hey! Stop it!

-I... I can’t stop it now.

The hunters at the scene tried to grab the officer by the collar, but it didn’t make a difference. Everyone present had a terrible premonition.

‘It’s ■■■ing over’

Then, with a dazzling white light, the missile disappeared.

***

“I don’t know why they accepted the offer of an evil god constellation,” Choi Yeonseung grumbled as he used Air Steps.

There was a misconception that people couldn’t fly without using magic, but Choi Yeonseung’s movements had become limitless after mastering martial arts. After all, would he have defeated countless enemies if he could only move around on the ground?

Choi Yeonseung jumped through the air in quick succession and caught up with the flying missile.

‘If I touch it the wrong way, it will instantly explode.’

Moreover, this wasn’t an ordinary missile; it was affected by the explosion constellation. Thus, it was possible that it was infused with some kind of evil magic.

If Choi Yeonseung wasn’t careful with this…

‘I have to destroy it instantly.’

Choi Yeonseung used Origin of the Celestial Divine Arts and Concentrated Energy Arts!

After he condensed his internal energy, he shot it at the missile with a dazzling white light, hitting it directly.

The missile, which should’ve exploded with a thunderous roar, quietly melted away. As the concentrated energy disintegrated the missile, it looked like it was snowing.

[’Endless Linked Explosions’ is annoyed!]

‘I have to pretend like he’s not here.’

There were times when it was better to ignore the opponent instead of replying to them, and this time it was exactly that.

[’Endless Linked Explosions’ wonders if you can keep stopping the next ones!]

Boom!

As the explosion constellation exerted his power in frustration, the number of dots moving in the sky increased significantly.

“That crazy bastard...” Choi Yeonseung gritted his teeth.

Indeed, it wasn’t unusual for fighter jets to launch missiles; it was just that these ones were using the power of an evil god constellation!

-Successor, it looks like he is trying to weaken you physically.

‘Probably.’

The judgment of the explosion constellation wasn’t exactly wrong. After all, there was a limit to a human’s physical strength and stamina.

Not even A-grade hunters could continuously block incoming missiles without suffering any damage. Even with the blessings of constellations, they were still mortals after all.

‘There will be suspicions, but...’

Choi Yeonseung amplified his internal energy. The explosion constellation might argue later, “No way! How did you do that?” However, when it came to such things, the fool was the one who got tricked.

Even if it was unfair and unbelievable, the explosion constellation would have no right to argue.

‘... I’ll stop it.’

Bam!

The concentrated energy, much more powerful now, shot forth and disintegrated all the missiles it touched.

The explosive constellation was outraged as he witnessed how this overpowered ability seemingly erased things from existence. That martial artist, who had reached such high levels that even other constellations coveted him, possessed some unique strength… But it was still futile!

“...”

Choi Yeonseung frowned as he saw more missiles raining down on the city.

‘Tsk, no choice but to block them all…!’

At this point, Choi Yeonseung wondered if it was worth going through all this trouble to save the citizens…

***

“He blocked it! He blocked it!”

“I don’t know if I’m supposed to cheer for him, but... I’m glad!”

The Chinese hunters patted their chests in relief. Some of them even had family members or relatives living in the city. Thus, they were glad that the hunter managed to repel the missiles.

“...Wait, is he… Choi Yeonseung?”

“What? He’s here as well?”

“I guess he came here to negotiate for some hostages... Uh, but why is he helping us?”

“Humanitarian aid??”

As the Chinese hunters were muttering in confusion, more missiles flew toward them. They were horrified. What were those crazy bastards thinking…?!

“Have they turned on us? Stop it! Stop! If you don’t stop, I’ll kill you!”

“D-Don’t do this! The authority here...”

“Forget the authority. If you don’t stop right away, I’ll use wide-area magic on the command center over there!”

One missile flying at civilians could’ve been brushed off as a mistake or some technical malfunction, but dozens of missiles were clearly deliberate.

The hunters didn’t know what kind of lunatic had made this decision, but whoever it was, they clearly only cared about killing the vampire.

“This bastard! Stop it now!”

“Eek! If you don’t stop this now, I’ll report all of you to the superiors...”

“How can you still say that in this situation? Don’t you see what the military is doing?! Report that first!”

There weren’t only Chinese hunters and soldiers at the scene. Foreign reporters had also gathered to cover the shocking events unfolding in Guangzhou.

“What’s going on? Are they bombing indiscriminately?”

The reporters hadn’t realized what was happening at first, but as they looked around and listened to the Chinese hunters yelling at an officer, they quickly understood what situation they were in.

After realizing that something was wrong, they turned their cameras to where the hunters were looking. A fighter jet launched missiles at them...?

“Nothing is going on! Hey! Stop filming!”

The soldiers rushed over to control the situation. No one could’ve imagined that this would happen.

“Why aren’t you helping? Please help!” the soldiers shouted at the hunters. No matter how pissed off the hunters were, they were still Chinese, so they should help.

“...Would you cooperate if you were me, you crazy bastard?!”

“You’re taking us for idiots...!”

Of course, the only thing the soldiers received from the hunters were heavy punches. They tried to withstand the attacks, but they were soon overwhelmed.

Bam!

“Cough...!”

“If you can’t manage to stop your shitty missiles from blowing us into pieces, you should help us with everything you can! You always take the cores and everything else after raids, but now you’re doing something like this?! Take care of this mess! I’ll kill you if you mess with my clan!”

“Just go in there and die!”

The reporters filmed with excitement the rare scene of Chinese hunters and soldiers fighting with each other.

It was a real scoop!

“...Haven’t you seen enough? Why the hell are you still recording?!”

“U-uh… I was taking photos up there. Shouldn’t I get that?”

At the reporter’s words, the hunter who scolded him looked up. The missiles were melting away one by one.

***

‘I got all of them.’

Choi Yeonseung landed on the rooftop of a nearby building, his countenance riddled with exhaustion. He wasn’t tired because he had used too much internal energy or anything like that; he could just replenish his internal energy whenever he wanted.

Rather, he was mentally exhausted because of the pressure; if he had missed one missile, the entire city would’ve been destroyed. He didn’t have to care about destroying the surroundings or causing casualties when he fought in the Abyss. He could just go ham…

[You have obtained a lot of respect.]

[The power of existence has risen.]

[The power of a constellation...]

[The realm of martial arts has grown stronger!] fre enovelkiss.com

“?”

Choi Yeonseung was puzzled by the sudden world messages.

‘What did I do just now?

You... You crossed the line.

“Let’s stop here,” replied Choi Yeonseung, irritated. He had already repelled everything the explosion constellation had thrown at him.

The fighter jets had disappeared as well. It seemed that the chaotic bombing had scared off the Chinese High Command, causing them to order the jets to retreat.

Do you think I have no other way to destroy this city?

“Do you?”

Don’t underestimate the power of a constellation, you arrogant mortal! I can do anything I set my mind to!

“...!”

Choi Yeonseung suddenly felt a large amount of power of existence coming from the explosion constellation.

‘That crazy bastard?!’

A constellation could crush mortals whenever they wanted, and the explosion constellation could do that if he unleashed all the power of existence he had.

The difference in power was so great that if a constellation and a mortal fought, the mortal would stand no chance.

…They would lose everything!

‘Is he really going to do this?’

-We’ve provoked him too much...!

The moment the goddess of sloth gave a warning, the other constellations, who had been spectating, proceeded to lend Choi Yeonseung their powers.

[The ‘Six-Winged Angel Who Hunts Dragons’ is warning you of danger! He grants you the ‘Power of Existence Wings’!]

[The ‘Goddess of Balance Who Walks Ahead’ screams that it is dangerous! She is concentrating on ‘Future Sight’!]

[...]

“...!”

Choi Yeonseung was genuinely moved by how quickly the other constellations jumped to his aid. He generally thought of them as a nuisance, but at such moments of crisis, they could be good allies!

[The ‘Warrior Stained with Madness and Blood’ sends you his blessings!]

‘...Why is he sending it?’
