I am not a returner Episode 372
Constellation of the Black Star (8)
“Why is that crazy horse-headed bastard so tough?”
Ha-eun looked at Anceladus, who stood up unharmed, with an expression of disbelief.
The joint effort of five high-ranking awakened people.
They were not high-ranking awakened people who had barely reached the 9-star threshold, but each and every one of them were powerful people who lightly trampled on other high-ranking awakened people.
however.
‘It’s just that the scales are slightly split?’
Ojin looked at Anceladus with a puzzled expression.
I expected that the Black Star Constellation would be on a different level from the enemies I had fought so far.
But no matter how powerful the attack was, it didn’t even cause a single scratch.
‘It’s not a problem if you’re strong and sleepy.’
Absurd would be the best word to describe it.
The only damage that could be considered effective to Anceladus were Ha-eun and Oh-jin.
Neither Lee Woo-hyuk’s gust of wind nor Sakaki’s fist did any damage at all.
‘Is this a constellation?’
It felt like I was fighting a tank with a sword.
[Oh, how could this be… ridiculous!]
Vega looked at Anceladus with wide eyes in astonishment.
“what’s the matter?”
[It is a sanctuary.]
“Sanctuary?”
[Didn’t they say that when a constellation fully manifests itself with its own power, a sanctuary naturally surrounds its body?]
Vega chewed her lip with a nervous expression.
[Clearly, when you look at the video, there was no sanctuary around the body, so how could it be…]
“…It was hiding its power from the beginning.”
but.
It is so meticulous that it deliberately left footprints in the mudflats to set up traps.
Whether that idea came from the Heavenly Demon or Anceladus came up with it himself.
There was a good chance that he had hidden his powers from the moment he first arrived on Earth.
‘So you’re saying we need an attack that can penetrate the sanctuary and cause damage?’
Ojin frowned and clicked his tongue.
It might be possible for Ha-eun and herself, but for Lee Woo-hyuk and Sakaki, it was impossible.
[There is a way.]
At that time, Vega said with a determined expression.
“What way?”
[Anceladus’s sanctuary, unlike the sanctuary that the original woman had spread before, was spread out extremely finely only around the body. At that level… if you receive the blessing, you will be able to break through.]
The blessing of the constellation.
In addition to Vega, Regulus and Aldebaran were also present here, so a total of three people were able to receive the constellation’s blessing.
‘In my sister’s case, she has the power to pierce the constellation’s sanctuary with simple firepower.’
If there’s a problem.
“…How long can you last?”
[Approximately 10 minutes would be the limit.]
The constellation’s blessing does not last indefinitely.
Unlike Anceladus, other constellations bound by the restrictions of the law were extremely limited in the power they could use on Earth.
Of course, you can use your own power if you are willing to pay the price.
‘The problem is that the price is the extinction of existence.’
Even if a constellation the size of Vega could avoid extinction, it was impossible for the other two constellations.
in other words.
“Is this something called Time Attack?”
The time limit is only 10 minutes.
‘I have to kill him within 10 minutes.’
Ojin clicked his tongue as he looked at Anceladus, who was holding a trident and looking down at the surroundings with arrogant eyes.
“If there is no other way, there is nothing we can do.”
[Can you really defeat the author in 10 minutes?]
“It would be difficult with just a blessing.”
[Then…]
“‘Blessing’ alone.”
Ojin grinned and raised the corner of his mouth.
When I heard about the blessing from Vega, a plan came to mind.
“Vega, from now on, follow whatever I say.”
[…I understand.]
Vega, who was moving her lips as if to ask something, soon nodded silently.
Isn’t it Oh Jin’s plan and not anyone else’s?
As a parent who suffered misdiagnosis and stigmata, and as a lover who shared her heart, she could not help but trust and follow him.
“My plan is…”
He used Capricorn’s stigmata to adjust his voice so that only Vega could hear it so that Anceladus could not hear it.
As Ojin continued, Vega’s expression gradually became distorted.
[Ah, anyway, that method is….]
“This is the best for now.”
[Ugh.]
Vega frowned, as if she didn’t like Ojin’s plan at all.
“Please, Vega.”
[Ha… I understand.]
Vega sighed deeply and nodded.
[The sound of your head pounding hard can be heard up to here.]
Anceladus walked in a leisurely manner with a bitter sneer on his face.
He looked at the three constellations floating in the air and nodded as if provoking them.
[You know what you have to do if you want to save your child, right?]
The look on their faces shows that they already know what the constellations are thinking.
Vega glared at Anceladus with cold eyes.
[Your child will tell you directly who is making a fuss.]
Uuuuuuuung!
The brilliant silver light flowing from Vega’s body dwelled in Ojin’s body.
[Go, my child.]
The magical power of the stigmata throbbed as if it was boiling over, and an exhilarating shiver ran down my spine.
[Show that arrogant constellation how brightly the starlight you embrace shines!]
Along with Vega’s shout, light also emanated from the bodies of the other two constellations.
[Blessings of the wind to the brave lion.]
[Crush that horse’s head, Sakaki!]
The light emanating from the two constellations dwelled in the bodies of Lee Woo-hyuk and Sakaki.
“Hey, what do you think, people without constellations would live in sorrow?”
Ha-eun smiled and turned her head towards Koshiro.
“What is your shield constellation doing?”
“I heard from Aldebaran that the Shield constellation does not yet have the power to appear on Earth.”
“okay? Still, it’s better than someone who doesn’t even show his nose because he’s sleeping in bed.”
Ha-eun clicked her tongue and took out a piece of tobacco from the cigarette pack.
Grumble!
A huge fire dragon coiled around the tip of the stem as if it were a baton.
“Well, if you don’t have teeth, you have to bite at least with your gums.”
Even if she didn’t receive the constellation’s blessing, it didn’t matter to her.
The flame created by Ha-eun was powerful enough to burn down the constellation’s sanctuary.
“Me and Mr. Sakaki will join the vanguard!”
“Khaha! Jesu, please prepare a hit with something hot!”
Thus began the time attack with a limit of 10 minutes.
Quang! thud! Kuddeuk!
A blood clot that continues fiercely.
A series of explosions were powerful enough to devastate hundreds of meters of land around the area.
Oh Jin and Lee Woo-hyuk and Sakaki, who received the constellation’s blessing, pushed Anceladus without a break, and Koushiro’s appropriate support and Ha-eun’s one-shot firepower were added.
[Whoosh whoosh. Now time is running out.]
Anceladus took a deep breath and raised the corners of his mouth.
There were wounds from spears, swords, and fists all over his body, which was protected by the sanctuary.
“Ugh….”
“Chu blessing.”
Anceladus eventually survived alone for 10 minutes.
[Ugh… No more…]
[Fight…! Hold on with all your might, Sakaki!]
The expressions of Regulus and Aldebaran, who were giving blessings, distorted harshly.
As if the restrictions of the law had begun, noise began to appear around the bodies of the two constellations, as if an old video tape was being played.
[Woohyuk…!]
“Just a little bit… please hold on just a little longer!”
Regulus’s body becomes blurred and he begins to be back-summoned to the sanctuary.
Lee Woo-hyuk looked back at the disappearing constellation of Leo with anxious eyes and kicked his feet roughly.
“Push away!”
A sword that squeezed out the last of its power.
Lee Woo-hyuk, who turned into a fierce gust of wind, swung his sword towards Anceladus’ neck.
[Ugh!]
Anceladus, who was exhausted after 10 minutes of bloodshed, took a step back with an urgent look on his face.
“late!”
One step faster than Anceladus, who is taking a step back.
Lee Woo-hyuk’s sword cut Anceladus’ neck horizontally.
and.
Kaaaaang!
The sound of metal resounding loudly.
Lee Woo-hyuk’s sword, which was swinging at Anceladus’ neck, bounced off violently and rolled on the floor.
Lee Woo-hyuk looked back at the sword that flew out of his hand and looked pale.
“Oh, no.”
[Keuuuuuu!]
Joy flashed in the eyes of Anceladus, who was taking a step back.
[I guess you’re the one who’s late, young lion.]
“Damn it…!”
Anceladus lashed out his trident at Lee Woo-hyuk, who was frozen with a pale expression.
Just before the three sharp spear tips pierced Lee Woo-hyuk’s body.
“Hwaaaah!”
Sakaki ran with a roar and threw himself at Lee Woo-hyuk, hugging him.
Sigh!
The trident passed by, tearing the skin of Sakaki’s back.
“Kaaaaak!”
“Sakaki-san!”
“Oh ya bung!”
A scream came out from the mouth of Sakaki, who suffered a wound so deep that his vertebrae were exposed.
Sakaki staggered to his feet, placing his hands on the soggy muddy floor.
“A good man doesn’t fall down like this….”
Absolutely.
Sakaki, who had been struggling to get up, fell down on the mud.
“Oyabuuuung!”
Koshiro’s scream rang out.
[Hee hee hee hee!]
Anceladus let out a characteristic neighing sound and shook his shoulders.
[Now then.]
Among the awakened people who received the blessing of the Constellation, there is only one remaining.
Eyes shining with life turned towards Ojin.
“Huh oh oh oh oh…!”
Misdiagnosis is also dangerous.
Because Vega was of a higher rank than the other two constellations, there was still some blessing left, but that was gradually disappearing.
[My child…]
Vega gasped heavily, clutching her chest.
[No matter how much it is the constellation of the North Star, it seems there is nothing we can do as long as it is bound by the restrictions of the law.]
[Yes, Inomom…!]
[Heeheeheehee! Watch your child dying there in misery, O star of Orihime!]
Anceladus rushed toward Ojin with a bitter sneer.
“Ojina!”
Ha-eun urgently blocked his path, but Ha-eun, who was relatively weak in close combat and had poured almost all of her firepower over the past 10 minutes, could not stop Anceladus.
“Aaaah!”
Ha-eun, who was kicked by Anceladus’ foot, screamed and rolled on the mud floor.
“Noona!”
[Hehehe! Do you have time to worry about other people right now?]
“This bastard…!”
Ojin kicked his feet with burning eyes, as if a fire was burning.
The sharp tip of the spear pierced Anceladus’ chest.
Wow!
The window bounced away with a heavy metal sound.
“ah.”
The blessing energy disappeared from Ojin’s body.
and.
[Die, human.]
Pugh!
The three-pronged trident pierced Ojin’s stomach.
“Cluck cluck!”
Ojin fell to his knees, vomiting blood mixed with internal organs.
Intense pain traveling through the stomach.
In my fading consciousness, the urgent screams of Ha-eun and Vega rang out.
and.
“ha.”
The corners of Ojin’s blood-covered mouth turned up with a grin.
Ojin grabbed the pole of the trident stuck in his stomach and pulled it roughly.
[What…?]
Anceladus frowns as if he doesn’t understand what Ojin is trying to do now.
Ojin clenched his fist and swung it towards Anceladus’ heart.
[What a terrible bastard.]
Anceladus shook his head as if it was absurd.
Even with a spear pierced through my stomach, I still have the strength to swing my fist.
Even the Constellation couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration at that willpower that bordered on madness.
[This guy who has already lost his blessing will be able to break through Anceladus’ sanctuary…]
Purge!
Just before Ojin’s fist touches Anceladus’ chest.
The lightning flashed wildly, as if concentrated power was being released.
Quad deud deuk!
It’s not the blue thunderbolt you’ve seen before.
A black lightning that burns with pitch-black light.
