Rescue

Han Siyoon was equally shocked.
‘It’s become difficult to get out.’
Noticing that a high-level confession magic had been cast over a wide area, he chose to shut his mouth first.
And he looked for a way to escape the barrier.
As an S-rank, he could evade a low-level barrier just by shrouding himself in darkness.
‘But this is…’
I can’t get out.
Even without being a magician, he could tell.
The arrangement of mana was so dense it formed a solid surface.
Not even a fly could get out.
No one in the whole world could do such a thing.
‘Is this power related to a Constellation…’
I want it.
That thought occurred to him.
I want that Constellation.
I want to make that great power my own.
I want to tear out the Constellation’s heart and devour it.
I want to become a Constellation.
An unattainable desire welled up.
His golden eyes looked up at the ceiling, then at the blood-soaked veil.
‘It seems even a Constellation’s incarnation will be strained if it uses too much of its power.’
Now was the chance to capture her.
The darkness had returned, and he could use his skills.
‘If I capture that incarnation…’
The Crow’s Ruins will cut it up nicely and share it with me.
Just as Han Siyoon’s hand was about to reach for the Constellation’s incarnation.
A reddish magic circle appeared before his eyes.
“-!”
KWAGAGAGAGAGAGAK!
Sharp icicles instantly struck Han Siyoon.
The output was on a different level from before.
Even though he had surrounded himself with darkness as a reflex to offset it, scars remained all over his body.
“Sion, protect her!”
“I know without you telling me!”
The two contractors, who had woken up at some point, were showing hostility towards Han Siyoon.
“Lee Seonbaek!”
Yeon Taeseon also intervened in this confrontation.
He carefully lifted Lee Seonbaek and headed towards the lower part of the circular arena, which he judged to be safe.
The two contractors let them go.
Although they knew the white woman was their Constellation’s incarnation, they judged it safer to entrust her to someone they knew for now rather than fighting over who would serve her.
Also, the gaze of the man who had taken the Silent Calamity’s incarnation…
‘He had eyes that would never do anything bad.’
‘He looked like he would give his life for her.’
Yeon Taeseon didn’t know, but his expression looked quite desperate to others.
That’s why the two fanatics were also willing to hand her over.
‘Do you know each other?’
‘Just for a little while before.’
Han Sion’s gaze also played a part.
Even the suspicious Baek Jiye was convinced.
“You can’t go any further than this.”
Baek Jiye had learned one thing from her fight with Han Siyoon.
‘My magic’s advantage isn’t a variety of spells.’
Output.
The ability to put an excessive amount of output into a single spell.
A glass cannon that can, and must, pierce through any defense.
That was Baek Jiye’s role.
‘If I try to use a variety of spells to utilize my knowledge, it’ll be a mess.’
Her mana had increased explosively after the Mana Disharmony Syndrome was cured.
She had to make use of this.
“Hyung.”
Han Sion also came to his senses.
Instead of the monotonous and flashy attacks filled with anger, he became able to make more cool-headed and unexpected attacks.
Just from their auras, Han Siyoon realized that the fight from now on would be different from before.
Han Siyoon rolled his eyes in the direction where the incarnation had disappeared, and lowered his gas mask, exhaling a black breath.
‘Annoying.’
If I could just sneak away that incarnation, it would be a really good meal…
But to do that, there were too many mountains to climb.
A stupid younger brother, the association president’s cousin, a chaotic auction house, a closed barrier.
And…

[The Constellation, The Crow’s Ruins, grinds its teeth and orders a retreat.]
Even a Constellation.
‘I can’t do this.’
He soothed his disappointment and covered his body with darkness.
“See you later, little brother.”
Han Sion responded with a growl instead of a reply.
Han Siyoon melted into the floor and disappeared.
He could have chased after him if he wanted to, but Han Sion had no more time to waste now.
He had to find Cheon Sanho according to the scenario given by the Constellation.
“Lee Seonbaek! Get a grip!”
He also had to take care of the person presumed to be his Constellation’s incarnation.
“Should we split up?”
“We have to split up.”
With that, the two of them split up.
Baek Jiye went to find Cheon Sanho, and Han Sion went to find the incarnation.

The one who found him first was Baek Jiye.
“I’m going to die. I’m going to die. I’m going to die…”
Cheon Sanho was crying with a face full of despair, his hands and feet bound.
He might be able to get rid of the brand of contract termination.
As soon as that hope arose, he was kidnapped to this Awakener auction house he had only heard about.
And because he was a contract terminator, a premium was attached, and this F-rank body of his was sold for 10 billion won.
It was an unimaginable amount.
“I’m going to die…”
The fate of an Awakener dragged to an Awakener auction house was similar yet varied.
Being stuffed.
Being raised as a pet.
Being kept for ornamental purposes, just eating.
Among these, the last one seemed the best, but unfortunately, judging from the words of the audience when he was sold, it wasn’t that either.

“Oh dear, of all people, that person.”
“Wasn’t he famous for making stuffed specimens?”
“He’ll be a pretty stuffed specimen.”
“A stuffed specimen of a contract terminator, I might be a little jealous.”
This was the source of his despair.
“I’m going to die…”
Ah, my younger brother.
I’m sorry.
You’re only in the hospital because of your worthless older brother.
I couldn’t even make you smile brightly.
“I’m sorry…”
“What are you sorry about?”
It was then.
At the sharp female voice, Cheon Sanho’s body trembled.
When he lifted his head and looked, a woman with deep pink eyes and long black hair was looking down at him from outside the cage.
“I came all this way to save you, and all you’re saying is you’re going to die. Aren’t you going to get up? A man needs to have some grit!”
“Wh-who…”
“Baek Jiye. You’re Cheon Sanho. Right?”
Cheon Sanho nodded as if possessed.
A reddish magic circle shone with a strong light and unlocked the door.
KWADEDEUK! CLANK!
The mana-absorbing lock fell to the floor powerlessly.
She then, with an unbelievably immense mana control, unlocked the mana-blocking handcuffs that were binding Cheon Sanho’s hands and feet.
It was possible because they were low-grade handcuffs.
Cheon Sanho looked at his freed hands and feet as if he couldn’t believe it.
He knew who Baek Jiye was.
Baek Jiye.
The association president’s niece.
A magic genius.
Suffered from Mana Disharmony Syndrome but was completely cured.
The Silent Calamity’s contractor…
“What are you doing?”
But nowhere.
“Hurry up and get out. We don’t have time.”
Black hair that seemed to have captured the night sky.
Deep pink eyes that resembled a rose.
Long hair that swayed with the wind as she walked.
She…
There was no information anywhere that she was this beautiful.
At that moment, Cheon Sanho was pulled up from the abyss.
It was the moment Cheon Sanho fell in love for the first time.

On the other hand, in Han Sion’s case, there wasn’t much progress.
“Don’t look.”
Yeon Taeseon had blocked Han Sion.
‘Lee Seonbaek is not yet ready to face these guys in her human form.’
That was something he could naturally tell from her actions so far.
“Why? Isn’t she related to the Silent Calamity?”
“It’s none of your business.”
“No, I need to know. She is in critical condition right now. If she is related to the Calamity, we have a duty to serve her.”
“This damn fanatic.”
Sparks flew from their eyes.
It was a good thing Lee Seonbaek, who was below them, was unconscious; if she had been awake, it was a scene where she would have shouted at them to stop their power struggle and just treat her.
Cough.
Red blood once again stained the veil.
Yeon Taeseon became anxious.
‘I don’t have a potion.’
Usually, hunters always carry potions to heal wounds.
But the target to be used on was a Constellation.
Naturally, a potion of a corresponding grade was needed.
At least a top-grade potion, the maximum he could get was an elixir.
An elixir was a panacea that could even bring the dead back, so of course he couldn’t get it.
Yeon Taeseon, who had just regressed, couldn’t get a top-grade potion, let alone a high-grade one, and an elixir was something he couldn’t even dream of.
‘Han Sion doesn’t have a potion.’
This guy was a rookie who hadn’t even properly entered a dungeon yet.
Hoping for a top-grade potion was a luxury.
And it would be the same even if Baek Jiye joined.
‘Even if Baek Jiye comes, she can’t use healing magic.’
Lee Seonbaek was a special case because she was a Constellation.
Originally, healing was the domain of priests, that is, healers.
Like the saintess of America.
‘It’s not like I can summon the saintess right now.’
Even if the saintess flew over from America right away, Lee Seonbaek’s breath would run out and she would ascend to the starry sky faster.
Then there was only one way.
