Chapter 498
Yu Jung-Hyeok was running towards the bridge, while <asgard>'s Constellations were chasing after him .
The Bald General of Justice shouted out . [Do your best, descendants!]
That prompted the One-eyed Maitreya to retort . [Your bald head is caked in sweat . ]
[Worry about your own head first . ]
[Aren't you going to help them?]
[I don't have an Incarnation, so how can I?]
[You can simply incarnate directly . ]
[You must've lost your mind after being trapped here for too long . With the remaining Coins, it's impossible even to send a symbolic form down there . ]
The Bald General grumbled unhappily and while wiping his head, looked behind him . That's where the boring monotone-coloured training hall lied in wait .
The 92nd floor scenario location, the 'Infinite Sanctum' .
One could only escape from this place after clearing a total of ten separate trials . And several Historical Figure-grade Constellations, including the 'Bald General of Justice', have been trapped in here for many decades .
The One-eyed Maitreya complained bitterly . [That damn Cheok family fool . What a terrible hardship this is all because of that man . ]
The first one to sniff out this <infinite sanctum=""> was the Goryeo's number one swordsman .
⸢If you're a true martial art practitioner, then you simply have to go there . The challenges are very easy, so you could say that place is more like an undiscovered, hidden candy . ⸥
The next person to clear this scenario after Cheok Jun-Gyeong, the Maritime War God, said this:
⸢Indeed it is quite doable . You'll be accomplishing a great achievement by clearing it . ⸥
The Historical Figure-grade Constellations that longed to reach the level of martial prowess attained by Cheok Jun-Gyeong and Yi Sun-Shin all headed to the 'Infinite Sanctum' after hearing those words .
And then, this was their sad state after several decades of failure .
[We've all momentarily forgotten that we are not the same as Cheok Jun-Gyeong or Yi Sun-Shin . ]
Regardless of where or what, talent would always pose an issue .
The Bald General spat out one sigh after another .
The collision noises of weapons repeatedly rang out from the centre of the training hall .
[Are those idiots still fighting?]
The One-eyed Maitreya's lone eye shifted over to the location where two old men were still duking it out . One was a tiger-like man with massive, rippling muscles, while his opponent was a fox-like man who enjoyed slim yet firm muscles himself .
Blinding shower of sparks exploded as two swords clashed in the air .
[Kim Yu-Shin! I'll definitely defeat you today!]
[Gyebaek, you're still no match for me . ]
The ⸢Stage Transformation⸥ suddenly activated around them and the Hwangsanbeol's battlefield spread out . It was none other than the very same battlefield Kim Dok-Ja had recreated in the past via [Ganpyeongui]
Kim Yu-Shin's Fragrant Dragon Flower Unit attacked Gyebaek, and the latter also unleashed his grandiose Status and crisscrossed the battlefield like a phantom .
It was indeed an amazing battle, but the other Historical Figure-grade Constellations simply looked on with bored expression on their faces . The 'Slumbering Lady of Fine Brocade' shook her head helplessly, while 'Founder of Hannamgun' tutted disapprovingly .
The One-eyed Maitreya sneered . [Even though they are showing off like that, they know the truth . They know that this isn't Hwangsanbeol . ]
There should have been a time when they fought earnestly . There was this deep-seated grudge, the resentment that couldn't be resolved even with one's death, after all .
These two betted everything of themselves and fought in Hwangsanbeol . Such a thing definitely did happen .
[Fable, 'Sun Setting on Hwangsanbeol', is continuing with its storytelling every now and then . ]
The fastest thing to get shaved away after becoming a Constellation was their own 'Fable' . The more a Constellation depleted its story, the weaker its power would get . They would grow bored, disinterested, fall into depression, or lose themselves in tedium .
Constellations would desperately seek out other Fables in order to escape from such a quagmire . In other words, they would search for a new tragedy to escape from this horrible eternal cycle, even if it was only for a brief moment .
Claaaang!
As the sounds of the weapons clashing got faster, 'Seo Ae One Stroke of Brush' spoke . [Still, aren't they fighting a bit more spiritedly than before?]
[It seems that the fire's been rekindled after the 'Demon King of Salvation' summoned them back then . ]
What the 'Slumbering Lady of Fine Brocade' said caused the Constellations to simultaneously shift their eyes over to the scenario channel . There they were, Kim Dok-Ja and Yu Jung-Hyeok crossing the bridge .
Han Su-Yeong had arrived on the other side and was busy shouting out .
- Kim Dok-Ja!! Faster!
The noisy clashings of weapons also ceased . Both Kim Yu-Shin and Gyebaek stopped recreating Hwangsanbeol before anyone had noticed it and began holding their breaths . One by one, beings gathered around the display panel out of curiosity .
Several of them saw the bridge Kim Dok-Ja was crossing and pretended to know what it was .
[Hold on, isn't that the 'Even-numbered bridge'? How nostalgic . ]
[What rubbish are you spewing now? You weren't even a subscriber back then . ]
[Hmph . . . . ]
Odin was chasing after the fleeing Kim Dok-Ja and Yu Jung-Hyeok . The godly spear Gungnir, famed for never missing its target, was now taking aim at the former's back . Not only that, the storm was growing stronger, gradually slowing down the duo's fleeing speed .
The One-eyed Maitreya shouted out . [What's this?! Odin, that guy is a Myth-grade Constellation, so what about saving his face . . . . ]
[Dok-Ja-gun is also a Myth-grade Constellation . ]
[Are all Myth-grades the same?? Our Kim Dok-Ja is a still weak wet-behind-the-ears Myth-grade!]
As if to say their fight earlier was a lie, Kim Yu-Shin and Gyebaek sat side by side before the screen and shouted at the same time .
[It seems that the descendant was negligent in his training . ]
[He might summon me again through Ganpyeongui . I should prepare for . . . . ]
[You think he'll call you, Gyebaek?? Obviously, he'll summon me when in that sort of a situation . ]
When the hint of Hwangsanbeol being recreated showed itself again, the One-Eyed Maitreya quickly issued a stern warning . [Both of you, shut your traps and just focus on the screen . ]
[Anyways, that man isn't going to throw Kim Dok-Ja again, I hope?]
Sparks were dancing around Yu Jung-Hyeok's right arm as he ran on the bridge . Just as Constellations began worrying, he suddenly grabbed Kim Dok-Ja by his collars with that arm .
[I knew it!! I bloody knew it . . . !!]
Yu Jung-Hyeok then powerfully threw Kim Dok-Ja forward, but also stepped onto the latter's back – and they began scything past the storm as if he was surfing the waves .
Right next second, the Gungnir thrown by Odin caused a massive explosion along with the blinding wall of light .
