The Crow’s Ruins showed no reaction.
It was as if his time had stopped, with no emotion, no movement, and not a single word, he just stood there like a frozen statue.
At least until I was thrown out of the place where I had been and returned, he only shed tears of blood like boiling lava from his eyes in anger, and showed no particular reaction to me.
Thanks to that, I was able to return to reality stably, without being consumed by his quiet anger.
A black crystal rolled at my feet.
It was what was once Han Siyoon.
“Lee Seonbaek!”
“Constellation-nim!”
Sion was the first to run to me and examine my body.
His hands, as they examined my body, were careful and clumsy.
It was a sincere concern.
And from behind him, Daisy, with a strangely sparkling appearance and holding a tree branch awkwardly, tilted his head at me and then slowly approached.
“Are you the Silent Calamity?”
His voice was surprisingly clear and quiet.
So I answered in the same way.
“Yeah.”
“Are you my friend?”
“Maybe?”
“Seonibaek Lin?”
“I was, once.”
Just then, a warm embrace enveloped me.
Daisy, with a sparkling starlight in him, had hugged me.
In the warmth, like sunshine, was the scent of flowers from a distant memory.
“I’m so glad to meet you like this.”
“…”
Many emotions were contained in that.
Longing, relief, and joy.
I should be the one feeling that, so why are you feeling such emotions?
The reunion greeting was short but deep.
“Kill them.”
But in between, a chilling voice echoed, distorting the air in the cave like it was underwater.
“Kill them all. I understand. I understand. I understand. I will do as you command. Yes.”
It was Lilac, with black tears streaming from his eyes.
As a soul belonging to The Crow’s Ruins, it was clear that he was greatly influenced by the emotional state of that Constellation.
His current appearance was just a result of the Constellation’s intense emotions being poured into him.
I pulled Yeon Taeseon, who was confronting him with a broken sword, with my telekinesis.
His face was stained with blood, and his breathing was ragged, stopping and starting repeatedly.
“I’m sorry.”
“The Regressor is weak.”
“That thing was almost like an incarnation of a Constellation.”
He admitted his limit.
“It was difficult to fight as a human.”
“That’s true.”
So, I smiled and looked back at Daisy.
Daisy looked at me awkwardly and then smiled back.
“Daisy.”
“Yeah.”
“Kill that thing.”
“Huh?”
Daisy blinked for a moment.
Yeon Taeseon and Sion grumbled.
“If only I had my unique skill.”
“I’m jealous.”
“No, is this something to be jealous of?”
Daisy found it hard to understand why these two handsome swordsmen were so jealous.
But he had no time to swallow her surprise.
Because I had lifted Daisy with my telekinesis and placed him in front of Lilac.
The old enemies faced each other again.
With a slightly flustered look.
“…”
“…”
After a brief silence, Daisy spoke in a tone as if he were confessing to his first love.
“Uh, Lilac?”
“Yes.”
“Actually…”
Daisy said shyly.
“I kept regretting that I am gonna kill you so easily.”
Lilac opened his mouth.
A scream that sounded like dozens of cockroaches flying around was emitted.
Daisy deflected it with his branch.
The branch of the World Tree trembled and acted as if it were disgusted.
“I never liked you from the beginning.”
My friend has no eye for people.
Saying that, Daisy raised his branch high.
And brought it down.
PAAAAAAAAK-!
There was no great battle.
Lilac was a poison to a Constellation, and the current Daisy was a fraudulent being no different from a low-rank Constellation.
‘Though he’s sucking up my starlight like crazy.’
Daisy’s unique skill was as fraudulent as it needed my help, and it had the disadvantage of being activated according to my will.
The efficiency was also not very good.
But…
Thump! Thwack! Whack, thud!
Seeing Lilac being beaten to a pulp, the starlight didn’t matter.
I clapped my hands and watched the scene, and that funny scene continued until The Crow’s Ruins, who couldn’t stand it anymore, retrieved Lilac.
Of course, it’s not that Lilac didn’t attack.
He also swung his whip and inflicted damage on their souls with his screams.
But it didn’t work at all in the state of Constellation-ification.
It was a pity.
“Oh, he’s gone.”
“The Crow’s Ruins retrieved him. Because it seemed like there was no chance of winning.”
I cut off the starlight that was being consumed enormously.
Daisy, who was sparkling strangely, also returned to a handsome man like sunshine.
His unique skill had been deactivated.
When I looked at the entrance of the cavity, the large coffin was gone and the stone door was properly open.
It was proof that The Crow’s Ruins had incurred a huge loss and had gotten nothing in return.
“Then let’s go!”
“But Seonibaek, can I ask for an explanation? The dimensional jump…”
“Let’s do it later. We have a lot to talk about.”
I stretched Daisy’s cheek.
He made a rather awkward expression and then nodded.
It seemed like his face was a little flushed.
“This is the first time I’ve seen you talk so much…”
“More importantly, Constellation-nim, how should we report this to the outside world?”
Sion took a step forward.
Yeon Taeseon was pouring potions behind him.
As soon as I saw the handsome man soaked in water, Daisy, for some reason, blocked my view.
“Since two S-ranks have entered this place, everyone will expect there to be something. But if we return empty-handed financially, our search ability will be questioned.”
“Even if we reveal Daisy?”
“That’s that and this is this…”
Certainly, the fact that three people came in and four came out is a huge scoop, so it would probably capture the reporters’ attention at once, but to avoid any possible suspicion, the gist was that we had to take something with us since we had entered the gate.
And the more guild funds we have, the better.
I roughly nodded and started walking.
My contractors, who had roughly finished their preparations, followed behind.
Sion seemed a little expectant of how I would solve it, and I answered with a gesture after coming out of the cave.
Under the clear sky, I pointed to the middle of the black ash forest.
Pop.
A magic stone popped out of the ground.
Pop. Pop. Pop. Poook. Pop.
They were all magic stones of very high purity.
Every time I pointed my finger, a magic stone would pop out from the ground or from a tree.
Sion looked at the magic stones one by one with a dazed expression.
Each was a magic stone of a purity that would be worth billions.
“I’ve been here quite often.”
The other name for the Ash Forest was.
The magic stone aging corner.
It wasn’t a forest that the Magic Tower Heads frequented for nothing.
The reporters were still in a state of murmuring.
It was because of the bombshell that the white-haired woman had dropped.
“A Constellation? That woman is a Constellation?”
“The Silent Calamity?”
“Can a Constellation just walk around like that?”
Everyone was murmuring, but their hands were honestly typing rumors.
[Breaking] The Silent Calamity appears? Nate Guild, shocking statement in front of the gate!
“…you think? In the first place, a Constellation itself has rarely been observed.”
A reporter with a delinquent face, who was smoking his fifth cigarette, said.
But his hands were typing a rumor article, so he was quite diligent.
Though his mouth was not at all.
“That woman must be delusional. Maybe because she’s pretty, she has some flaws…”
KWANG!
The laptop the man was typing on exploded without any warning.
The man, who had suffered minor burns because he was close, let out a scream and a groan.
“My hand…!”
“What? Why did it suddenly do that?!”
“If you just kept your mouth shut, you’d be halfway there.”
At the high, clear beautiful voice, everyone’s gaze turned to the entrance of the gate.
It hadn’t been long since they had entered, but four people were coming out.
Four people.
Three had entered, but there were four people.
“We’ve discovered a resident of a new continent… no, a new dimension.”
My plan was this.
Reveal Daisy.
Reveal that there is another dimension.
Reveal that Daisy is the new contractor of the Silent Calamity.
Roughly reveal that I am the Silent Calamity.
People will not be able to come to their senses.
‘Hmm. It’s just a scoop terror.’
I wondered if it was okay to just reveal all this, but we had already come out of the gate and had shown Daisy’s appearance.
I’ll just have to get a little scolding from Jiye later.
Sion stepped forward.
“There will be an official announcement from the guild shortly.”
