Chapter 65

Episode 14 – Master of the Throne (2)

The pages of Ways of Destruction flashed in my head. A light streamed through my head and the strings of light started to line up. They were the text of Ways of Survival.

[Heok...?]

Kim Yushin discovered something was wrong and his presence became noticeably thinner. The old fox noticed quickly.

[The echo of the constellation connected through Echo of the Stars has disappeared.]

At the last moment, Kim Yushin's astounded voice was heard.

[What are you...?]

Then Kim Yushin was gone.

I was surprised as well. I expected it to be possible with Fourth Wall, but I didn't think the Ganpyeongui connection to the constellation could be broken so easily.

The encounter in the Theater Dungeon was a hint. The Fourth Wall had destroyed the theatre master the moment he tried to look inside my head.

I was hoping the same thing would happen to the constellation but Kim Yushin noticed quickly and ran away.

[The constellation 'King Heungmu the Great' has doubts about your existence.]

[The constellation 'King Heungmu the Great' will be watching you closely in the future.]

In any case, I was still being followed by the old geezer.

"...Are you okay?"

"Yes. I'm fine. But..."

What was this? I looked up and found that my limbs were tied up with magic power. It was a chrysalis-like appearance. Yoo Sangah's face was completely red.

"That... I couldn't run away but I couldn't let you attack me."

I roughly understood what was going on. She used Binding Thread on me during that short interval. I thought she was frozen with surprise but she was actually using a skill.

"Your improvisation is amazing."

"...I'm sorry."

"It is a compliment. If I start acting strange in the future, act like you did now."

"I-I will release you!"

Yoo Sangah looked embarrassed but I was serious. It was my mistake when I thought of her as an ordinary office worker.

I looked back and saw Min Jiwon looking between me and Yoo Sangah with curious eyes. "Well...it turned out like this. I came to help only to end up being helped."

I nodded. "We will be enemies the next time we meet."

"...Why don't you join us now? It is a common proceeding in dramas."

"This isn't a drama."

"My friend! Make friends with faith. It is the banner of our Hwarang." Min Jiwon said with a smile before moving away.

Could she be a good king? I don't know. Perhaps even the King of Beauty didn't know.

"We will go as well. Lee Sungkook-ssi! Come on."

Lee Sungkook emerged from behind the building with Lee Gilyoung. This bastard, when did he hide in such a place?

I took my companions and started to move north.

The place that Kim Yushin's Gather the Hwarang swept through was devastated.

The armed forces of the small kings were lying all over the place. This was the dignity of a proper constellation. Kim Yushin was a cowardly but useful constellation.
