The Constellation Returned From Hell

Chapter 420

Chapter 420

Antony looked at the fallen hunter in bewilderment.

A dungeon that was at least A-grade had exploded and there was an emergency, but this hunter was most concerned with eating something

It was even more absurd because it was an A-grade hunter that was acting like this

What nonsense are you saying? Get up! Quickly!

Ugh... Please get me something to eat

Despite Antonys rebuke, the hunter persisted with his request.

Seeing him continue to beg for food, completely disregarding his image and pride, Antony realized that this hunter was actually starving.

Step aside, urged Choi Yeonseung. The nightmare demons have thrashed him. We should give him something. You have any food on you?

Ugh, I guess it cant be helped

Antony took out the emergency dungeon rations from the bag on his back. He hastily peeled off the wrapper and put the chocolate bar into the hunters mouth, only for him to spit it out.

...Hey, is this Japanese guy ignoring my gesture?!

Stop. Even if he wants to eat it, he cant. He needs some water first.

The hunters defeated by the nightmare demons were extremely weakened. They were so dehydrated that they looked like desiccated corpses, so there was no way they could eat hard food like a chocolate bar.

Wait. Rather than just water...

Choi Yeonseung rummaged through his space pocket.

He had once used this space pocket to store Abyssal monsters, but now he used it as a warehouse for his large farm. That was where the orcs, his household members, stored all the crops they worked hard to grow.

Thanks to this, Choi Yeonseung always had an abundance of fresh ingredients at his disposal wherever he went, unlike when he used to wander through the Abyss.

The orcs always offer me delicious things.

Choi Yeonseung was taken aback when the orcs first gave him the ice-cold well water in a jar as an offering. He knew it would be good, but

Oh, this is way better than I thought!

Contrary to his initial skepticism, the well water offered by the orcs turned out to be amazingly great.

There was a special well in his realm called the Magic Power Well. The orcs carefully tended to it so that the magic power of the earth surrounding the well kept growing. Thus, it wasnt just cold, refreshing water from a well. It was the water of life, rich in magic power!

[Well Water Bestowed by the Undefeated Incarnation of Training:

This water has a strong revitalizing effect thanks to its tremendous magic power. It heals and rejuvenates the drinker.]

Choi Yeonseung was a bit surprised to see that even his name was attached to the water.

-It must be gratifying to see the subordinates in your kingdom work so hard to achieve great things for you.

The goddess of sloth spoke as though she could tell how Choi Yeonseung felt.

-Didnt your subordinates also make things for you, Goddess?

-My subordinates were lazy and didnt do well.

-Oh That makes sense.

Choi Yeonseung stopped the conversation there and took out the water to give it to the hunters.

Antony looked at it skeptically and thought to himself, Isnt that just regular water? However, he was surprised a few seconds later.

The hunters were visibly better seconds after drinking Choi Yeonseungs water. It was hard to believe that there could be such immediate effects.

Growl...

...

The hunters of the Japanese clan Namahage flushed in embarrassment.

Once they came to their senses, they realized how pitiful they mustve looked while drinking the water. They couldnt believe that they had begged for food in a situation like this

Uh This is good. Ive regained most of my energy.

There isnt much magic power to be recovered.

!

The hunters were surprised by Choi Yeonseungs words. Normally, one couldnt tell how much magic power other people had just by looking at them.

Even if a hunter used various tricks for detecting magic power, it would still be hard for them to tell with precision how much magic power another hunter had.

However, Choi Yeonseung had assessed the condition of these hunters with just a glance and no magic.

Is it because hes the master of martial arts?

Still, I never thought he could just see our magic at a glance like this.

Hey, eat this.

Antony took out the chocolate bar he had offered earlier. The Japanese hunters werent exactly eager to eat it, but they reluctantly accepted it out of consideration for his kind gesture.

No, theres no point in giving them something that helps so little with recovery, explained Choi Yeonseung. They need to eat something warm.

Choi Yeonseung snapped his fingers and summoned a blue flame with the power of his internal energy. He also released a small amount of energy to flatten the surrounding ground and carved the nearby rocks into bowls.

Ill cook the pork the orcs have given me.

There wouldnt be any point in giving these weakened hunters a dish made of monster meat. That kind of food acted like a tonic that gave powerful buffs to the person who ate it, but these hunters currently needed to recover.

Choi Yeonseung took out the adamantium frying pan, sprinkled some oil into it, cut the pork into small pieces and started frying them.

However, some uninvited guests had just joined them.

[The rampaging nightmare demons draw on the power of the realm!]

Is it a potion? Or the water of life developed by the Icarus clan?! W-why did he give me something like this? Is this okay??

Kohei, hurry up and try it. This is really delicious.

...Dont you care about your reputation? The other hunters over there are watching...

...

The hunter who was ravenously eating his food averted his gaze at Nakaos words. He felt embarrassed when he realized it.

Choi Yeonseung said, You guys are famished, so eat however you like. Dont worry about how you look. Just eat quickly. You need to recover.

T-thank you. This pork belly fried rice I really like this Korean dish.

Choi Yeonseung and Antony chuckled at that, and Nakao was a bit confused, not knowing why they reacted like that.

Huh?

I dont think this hunter has done many interviews in his life, Antony told Choi Yeonseung.

Yeah. Theres no need to say such things when there are no reporters around.

Rather, youll only seem pretentious if you say such things these days. You can no longer fool Koreans by saying that you love Korean cuisine after trying the kimchi and fried rice at the airport.

But some reporters want those kinds of reactions, so it cant be helped. And also, didnt you say in an interview a while ago that you like Korean food? People called you pretentious back then.

I said that because it was delicious! Those who havent tried it in a dungeon wont know what it tastes like...

After listening to the conversation between Antony and Choi Yeonseung, Nakao finally realized what this was about.

E-excuse me. I said I like it because Ive tried it before, explained Nakao. Theres a Korean craze in Japan these days...

Eh, I guess.

Theres no need to do this just because I saved you, replied Choi Yeonseung as he waved his hand.

...

Nakao was dumbfounded, but he put up with it and resumed eating. Putting aside its recovery ability, the dish was actually delicious.

Uhm, can I have another bowl?

Hey, you dont have to force yourself to do this!

N-no Really, I just...

Forget it. It was just a gesture of goodwill.

***

The Russian hunters from Shilka, Gvozdika and Buratino, succeeded in completely sealing off the city. They hadnt dealt with all the monsters that had come out of the dungeon, but it was still a great success just to prevent them from entering the city.

Thank you so much!

It wouldve been a disaster if it werent for those overseas hunters.

The hunters from each clan expressed their sincere gratitude to Han Seha and the other hunters. The staff members of the clans also felt the same way.

Soon, the government will conduct a separate official audit. I say this is our chance to earn some medals.

Everyone was chatting in a friendly manner, but there were a few people who stood on the side and were anxious.

They were the officials from Japan and China.

The situation here was Russias business, but the Japanese and Chinese officials wouldnt be able to avoid punishment if their raid teams were wiped out.

Moreover, the Korean side had requested to cooperate, but both the Japanese and Chinese officials had declined.

Wait, said the anxious Japanese official.

?

Why did the dungeon explode even though there was still time left?

Maybe the Russian hunters are blind? Han Seha answered without thinking.

The Russian hunters cleared their throats with embarrassed expressions.

Actually, isnt the clan that entered the dungeon last thats at fault? proposed the Japanese official.

Are you crazy? a Russian clan leader replied as though it was absurd.

If someone could cause a dungeon to explode at will, they were a constellation, not a hunter. How could one hunter cause a dungeon explosion?

Thats right. We wont let this go. We will officially hold you accountable!

With the herd instinct in full effect, the Chinese official instantly jumped to support the Japanese official.

The rest of the hunters were dumbfounded by these two officials.

These lunatics are trying to avoid all responsibility...?

Of course, the governments of Russia, South Korea, and the US werent to blame for this, and they would vehemently deny these absurd accusations.

However, even if these accusations were baseless, they were enough for the Japanese and Chinese officials to avoid responsibility in their respective countries. That was all they wanted.

Regardless of international relations or whatever, they would protect their positions before anything else!

Should I just kill this bastard? If everyone here keeps their mouths shut, no one will know.

Thats pretty tempting.

As the Russian hunters whispered ominously among themselves, someone shouted from behind, Enough with this nonsense!

...?!

The Japanese official turned his head and was stunned to see the hunters whom he had presumed dead.

They were glaring at him fiercely.
