Chapter 283. Constellation Uprising (3)
BOOM!
Joo Minha had no way to dodge Lee Jukheon’s attack.
So instead...
he simply moved one finger.
That alone was enough to force Lee Jukheon to his knees.
Just like Kang Yujin before him.
“Ugh... aaagh!”
Lee Jukheon tried to move with all his strength.
But he couldn’t get back up.
It was the authority of ‘Gravity Manipulation’ granted to Joo Minha by Taigong Wang.
“That’s rather cruel, Lord Lee Jukheon.”
Looking down at him, Joo Minha spoke slowly.
“To point a sword at your own companion.”
“How can the bastard who sent his companion to Hell say that...?!”
“Lord Kang Yujin violated a taboo.”
“But you, Lord Lee Jukheon, had done nothing wrong.”
Joo Minha’s voice remained cold.
“I had every intention of continuing to build our friendship as companions in the future.”
“What a load of crap...!”
Pinned to the ground, Lee Jukheon struggled and tried to throw his sword.
Even the sword was dragged down by gravity and struck the ground.
“Where is Lord Kang Yujin?”
“And Daji?”
“And the Nameless King?”
“Why don’t you...”
Lee Jukheon forced a smile.
“Ask them yourself...!”
At that moment...
Kang Yujin burst out from behind the building.
But there wasn’t only one.
More than thirty Kang Yujins appeared.
“Daji created clones...!”
There was no need for [Disruption Barrier].
With Joo Minha’s skill in projectile-type magic, destroying thirty clones was easy enough.
All he had to do afterward was find the real one...
“Too late!”
Kang Yujin’s voice came from behind him.
Another Kang Yujin had burst out from a position even closer than where Lee Jukheon had appeared.
Even Lee Jukheon was just bait for this...!
Joo Minha immediately used ‘Gravity Manipulation’ on Kang Yujin.
But Kang Yujin had already thrown his flail at him.
“Ghk...!”
Joo Minha pushed his concentration to the limit.
He used ‘Gravity Manipulation’ to stop Kang Yujin from approaching...
while firing a barrage of projectile magic at the clones rushing toward him.
At the same time, an automatically deployed magic barrier blocked Kang Yujin’s flail.
BANG!
Part of the flail had been caught by ‘Gravity Manipulation,’ reducing its power.
Even so...
the magic barrier shattered in a single hit.
Joo Minha himself remained unharmed.
"...!"
Staying alert, he moved.
Using magic...
he widened the distance as much as possible.
“Joo Minha!”
A booming voice rang out.
Reinforcements had arrived.
“Lord Nezha...!”
The A-rank Constellation ‘Divine Child of Three Heads and Six Arms,’ Nezha, came charging forward with weapons in all six hands.
“We attack together!”
“Understood!”
Joo Minha immediately began supporting Nezha.
He was always at his best when assisting someone else rather than fighting at the front alone.
“OOOOOH!”
Kang Yujin and Lee Jukheon had already broken free of the gravity field.
Nezha rushed toward them with terrifying momentum.
Joo Minha supported him with a storm of projectile magic.
“Lee Jukheon! Be careful!”
“I know... ugh!”
Joo Minha knew very well how dangerous Kang Yujin and Lee Jukheon were when coordinating with each other.
So he scattered projectile magic between them...
breaking their teamwork apart.
“Joo Minha, you bastard...!”
Lee Jukheon’s eyes widened as he shouted.
“You’re really going to keep doing this?!”
“I have no choice, Lord Lee Jukheon...!”
Still casting magic, Joo Minha kept watching his surroundings.
He expected Daji to appear and interfere.
And exactly as expected...
she did.
“HAAAH!”
Daji burst out from the snow and charged toward him.
Apparently trying to keep him from interfering with Kang Yujin and Lee Jukheon...
she attacked Joo Minha with sorcery using flames, lightning, and more.
But at that exact moment...
“Sorry I’m late.”
A black rod suddenly flew in.
Seeing it...
Daji immediately stopped her attack and dodged.
“Randeng Daoren!”
Nezha shouted with delight.
A man with hair like blazing flames approached.
It was the S-rank Constellation ‘Immortal of the Burning Lamp,’ Randeng Daoren, who had been contracted with figures such as Yang Weizheng in China.
“Everyone, be careful!”
“That man is Randeng Daoren, the one who defeated Wen Zhong in the war three thousand years ago!”
“He’s stronger than Nezha in direct combat!”
“Stronger than this guy?!”
Hearing Daji’s warning...
Lee Jukheon shouted in disbelief.
“And I’m not the only one.”
More Constellations began appearing around them.
“Searching the Spirit Realm by force only created backlash.”
“It’s better to capture Kang Yujin and the others here in the Material Realm.”
“That would be preferable.”
Joo Minha nodded.
“Sending them to Hell was a mistake.”
“We should subdue them properly this time.”
“Agreed.”
Kang Yujin and Lee Jukheon, who had been fighting Nezha, hesitated and stepped backward.
Daji also watched the surrounding area with a serious expression.
Looking at them...
Nezha raised the Fire-Tipped Spear.
“All of you...”
“end here.”
Just as the surrounding Constellations were about to attack together...
BOOOOM!
An arrow flew in from somewhere...
and caused a massive explosion across the Alaskan ground.
“Who...?!”
Caught in the blast, Randeng Daoren raised his head with a pained expression.
“Pleased to meet you, everyone.”
Someone was approaching from beyond the encirclement.
“I am the ‘Pure-White Hero,’ Arjuna.”
“You bastard...!”
Randeng Daoren threw his Constellation Armament, the Qiankun Ruler.
The black ruler-shaped throwing weapon disrupted the balance of yin and yang, inflicting devastating internal injuries on its target.
But a man beside Arjuna jumped forward with a massive shield and blocked it.
“A little stick like that is nothing against my shield!”
“That shield...”
“‘Invincible Hero’ Achilles...!”
It wasn’t only Arjuna and Achilles.
More Constellations began appearing one after another outside the encirclement.
“The Knights of the Round Table!”
“Charlemagne’s Twelve Paladins too!”
