Aries and the constellations were finally able to escape the labyrinth of dreams. We passed through a long passage and finally faced Satan.
[Worms like you aren’t worth living.]
These were the first words Satan spoke to us. At the same time, two large horns grew from his head. Satan greeted us in a threatening manner with 10 horns and six wings wide open. Then he let out a huge red demonic energy. Next to Satan was a large beast that seemed to be a combination of a goat, a lion, and a snake. It was very similar to the chimera I killed in the World Competition not long ago.
[Ha, worms? Don’t make me laugh. You vile bastard! You are dead!]
Aries was the first to show hostility to Satan in front of her and rushed over with the Fleece Knights. The other constellations showed off their own skills as they soared into the sky. It was as beautiful as a meteor in the sky. I stood there and stared blankly for a moment. However—
[Stupid.]
Satan whistled and all the movements of the constellations ceased like they were frozen in place. Satan started to take down the constellations one by one, showing movements that couldn’t be pursued.
[Hahahaha!]
Satan’s mad laughter mixed with the screams of the constellations. The damage was even greater when the chimera was added. Unexpectedly, Satan was so strong. I quickly moved to stop him. Damn. If I had known this, I would’ve brought Cat Baker with me.
“Grow, Yeouicho.”
I immediately swung the large Yeouicho, attacking Satan and the chimera at the same time. Satan and the chimera were pushed back against different walls. Then Solar Phoenix appeared and flew toward the chimera. The flames of Solar Phoenix blew through the castle, tightly trapping the chimera.
[Phoenix? I was told you were dead. You are alive...?]
However, Satan couldn’t continue speaking.
[......!]
It was because I jumped in front of him and threw the Black Night Arrow. The black explosion that was followed by a storm of icicles struck Satan’s entire body and started to spin.
[Kuek. You are the human who got through my maze. You aren’t even affected by my mind magic. What are you?!]
“I’m a very ordinary grandfather.”
[Bullshit!]
“Flying Weather Dance.”
Satan was roaring while being hit by the Black Night Arrow. Meanwhile, I danced in front of him and expressed a beautiful snow field. Immediately, a fierce blizzard struck from the open sky.
“Flower of Snow.”
The blizzard rushed straight toward Satan’s body and snow flowers blossomed all over. The snow flowers in full bloom finally burst. In the wreckage of the icicle storm, the snow flowers blossomed again. It was like a divine judgment punishing the demon to be trapped in an eternal ice hell.
[Ugh! Youuuuu!]
However, Satan was tough.
[The demon king, ‘Satan,’ is reading your memories using Demon’s Interest.]
[Satan has stolen and learned your magic.]
The words that followed was a shock.
[Blade Wind.]
“......!”
A great wind blew in front of me.

At Dark Moon, the vampire earl Alexandra’s castle...
Meanwhile, James split up with Choi Chuntaek and returned directly to the Vulcan volcanic zone. There, he met his constellation Desperado and gained more strength. Damian didn’t rebuke him for not bringing the Star Fruits. Instead, he hoped James would focus on becoming stronger in the hopes that it wouldn’t happen again.
Thus, James was on the road once again. Then he accidentally discovered a secret passage leading to Dark Moon, a territory of the vampires. James secretly killed the vampires here and leveled up at a terrifying speed.
A bullet of light lodged in a vampire’s head.
[Your level has risen.]
James looked at the level up message in front of him with satisfaction. Dark Moon was like a treasure trove for James. James possessed the constellation skills of elemental bullets and he was able to use bullets of fire, ice, light, and shadow. The light bullets had the greatest killing effect. The low-ranking vampires who were shot with them died without using any strength.
“This way! There is a hunter here!”
He heard the voices of other vampires outside the forest. James hid himself using stealth. The vampires had a high level and were very strong. If they came in high numbers then James would find it hard to kill all of them. In any case, James returned to his hideout. He was currently using a small cave as a hiding place. Among the vampires, James was known as the ‘vampire hunter.’ The walls of the cave were covered with hand drawn coarse maps and X-sign maps, not to mention the rewards.
“I don’t think it is here.”
James pointed an X mark on the castle he had been searching around. This was where Alexandra, the vampire earl ruled. In fact, he was just trying to level up. Then he read Arkstagram a while ago and found out that Mido was in Dark Moon. She had come here to save her constellation who was in danger. In any case, it was good. James could also level up by the way. He was secretly searching for Mido’s constellation.
“Should I clean up this place?”
James left his hideout again and climbed the high mountain. Then he injected power into his pistol. The pistol started to twist and change. It finally became a sniper rifle. This was a newly created constellation skill obtained after meeting Desperado last time. To put it simply, it was sniper mode.
Click!
“......”
James looked down the mountain with the sniper rifle on his shoulder. Then through the scope, he examined the castle of Alexandra. Alexandra was drinking wine with the window open and enjoying the entertainment. James pulled the trigger without hesitation.
“Phew.” James confirmed Alexandra’s death and stood up with a satisfied smile.
[Your level has risen.]
It was time to head for the next castle.

At Dark Moon, the residence of the dokkaebi king...
“Aargh, why aren’t you teaching me?!”
Park Taehyeon lost his temper at the dokkaebi in front of him.
“Our dokkaebi don’t teach just anyone magic.”
A small dokkaebi shook his index finger and expressed his disapproval. Park Taehyeon wasn’t satisfied and was arguing with the dokkaebi. He grabbed a broken horn and tried to pretend to be a dokkaebi, but it didn’t work. They insisted they couldn’t feel the aura of the dokkaebi from the horn and that they couldn’t teach magic. They couldn’t teach those without horns.
“Sigh.” Mido was sighing as she watched Park Taehyeon. Currently, Mido’s group were staying in the dokkaebi village while waiting for the troops Crescent had told them about. He said that Hecatiana would soon be sending wizards and witches here. However—
“Time is always passing. When will they come?”
The constellations who came with her, including Chiron, were settled here. Musca knew her intentions, but he just said there was no other way. Even so, her constellation was currently suffering. The messages he kept sending were proof. Recently, the frequency of the rescue requests gradually decreased.
‘I don’t have time to do this...’
Park Taehyeon continued trying to learn magic while Kim Hyeonu and Eun Jeonghyeok went to hunt the monsters in the area, saying they would become stronger. Mido was forced to stay here because of Chunza, but according to the words of the dokkaebi king, Shokkobi, Crescent’s cave was a place where time passed slowly.
10 days inside was like one day out here. In any case, once he entered, Crescent wouldn’t come out for a long time. Shokkobi said that it would take a while. Time was flowing without stopping.
‘This isn’t going to work. I have to go alone.’
Mido finally decided to leave the dokkaebi village.

“Cough.”
I spat the blood in my mouth. I had just been seriously injured in the previous attack. I would’ve died in one shot if I hadn’t taken out the Shadow Dagger and moved quickly.
“This is crazy...”
I turned to Satan again. I never dreamed that he would be able to copy my skills.
[Huhu. Are you angry? Be angry. It will entertain me.]
Satan stood up while instantly recovering from his wounds. It was a really terrible recovery power. Just then, the flames of Solar Phoenix engulfed my body. It was the phoenix’s characteristic, healing flames.
[Groan.]
Aries and the constellations shook their heads. The phoenix’s flames had also struck them. Once Kim Sujeong joined in, the constellations were healed in no time. Meanwhile, Ma Seokdu raised me up.
“Are you okay, Brother?”
“It’s nothing.”
“You have a great personality. I didn’t expect you to rush straight to that big guy.”
“Shut up. This time you should help as well.”
“I understand.” Ma Seokdu summoned an ice shield around his arms.
Then Drain appeared behind me from somewhere. “B-Buroder, are you okay?”
“Where have you been until now?”
“I was a bit scared so I was hiding. Huhuhu.”
...He was speaking very proudly.
[The crab star, ‘Kirkinos,’ is sighing.]
“Ah, right. Wear this.”
“......?”
My eyes widened as I looked at the clothes that Drain handed me. They were clothes and shoes made from Belphegor’s leather and horns that I had recently entrusted to him. I put them on without hesitation. The purple light it gave off was a bit old-fashioned. The rise in stats was enormous.
“Why are you only giving this to me now?”
“Huhu. I forgot.”
“......”
This damn bastard.
[What are you saying?]
Just then, Satan flapped his six wings and once again fired Blade Wind. I felt invisible blades surrounding me from all sides. I shouted loudly, “Seokdu!”
“I know! Wall of Cold!”
Ma Seokdu smashed the ground with an ice shield and a huge ice wall was created in an instant to block the incoming wind. This was truly the majesty of the shield constellation that boasted the strongest defense.
[Hmm, Tiarudo is here. I forgot. But...]
This time, a hot fire was created in Satan’s hand. I instantly realized it resembled the power of the sun that I had used. It wasn’t really the power of the sun. The problem was that it would contain a lot of strength. The huge fire left Satan’s hand and flew in a straight line, melting the wall of cold.
“...Keuk. You son of a bitch!”
Ma Seokdu struggled to block it. The crisis wasn’t only with us, but also with Solar Phoenix. The chimera was a beast with unprecedented power. It constantly threatened Solar Phoenix with a poisonous breath. The chimera’s main weapon seemed to be poison.
I quietly called out the being in the shadow straight away. “Fenrir.”
“...I’m listening.”
In fact, Fenrir had been hiding in the shadows from before I opened the door. I had pre-summoned him and it seemed like it was time for Fenrir’s strength.
“Put this in that guy.”
I pointed to the chimera and dropped something small into the shadows. It was one of Alexus’ battle gears. It was the Poison Eating Sword that was said to be able to absorb all the poisons in the world.
