Player Who Became A Constellation [EN]: Chapter 108

Player as a Constellation – Episode 108

The shadow of the beast tears apart dozens of cavalrymen and throws them into the air.

The massive horses and the Imperial Guard riding them floated lightly in the air like dolls, the burning pain making them realize this was reality.

They struggled to survive, but it was clear anyone would die falling from this height.

The Imperial Guard, falling rapidly due to gravity, stared at the approaching ground with eyes distorted by fear.

Just as their heads were about to touch the ground, they were mercilessly devoured by the shadow that flew in again.

“……!!”

The elite cavalry of the Kron Empire were helplessly destroyed by Loki’s black shadows.

The soldiers of Asgard smiled as they watched.

“The formation… has collapsed!”

“The Constellation is with us!”

“Massacre them!”

For the elite troops of Asgard at the forefront, nothing could be better.

Dozens of beast shadows continued to tear apart and devour the Kron Empire’s Imperial Guard.

In their wake, crimson flames blazed, consuming life.

Behind them, the Asgardian cavalry charged, hunting down the remnants.

The spear blades tore through the armor of the Imperial Guard, the screaming white masks, and trampled over their corpses.

Houts [war cries] and majestic drumbeats. The sound of horns echoed as the white army, running across the earth, gradually stained the enemy’s camp.

The seemingly solid ranks of the Empire collapsed so absurdly easily.

“……!”

Kashar jumped up from the palanquin.

He stared silently at the terrifying monster that had dashed forward and crushed the Imperial Guard.

‘What… is that?’

It was something he had never seen before.

Magic? No, there’s no way you could create something like that with magic.

A monster? He had never heard of or seen such a monster.

Then is it a being from mythology or fairy tales?

‘Before that… can this really be described as a monster?’

It was truly a disaster.

That black calamity, as if the wrath of God had taken shape, covered the sky and devoured life.

There was no hesitation, no mercy.

The Imperial Guard seemed to have become sacrifices to appease the wrath of God.

As the Imperial Guard was breached in an instant, Kashar turned his gaze to the slave soldiers.

6,000 troops were rushing towards him.

But in front of them were approximately 30,000 slave soldiers.

Seeing this, Kashar smiled awkwardly with a stiff body.

“I see. So the numbers didn’t matter from the start?”

The enemies wouldn’t have cared how many slave soldiers the Kron Empire had.

Normally, charging into 30,000 troops with 6,000 troops is a reckless act.

However, if the target is a calamity, it didn’t matter whether the number was 30,000 or more.

“Kkeua…aaaack!”

The slave soldiers at the front glanced at their surrounding comrades.

The white warhorses that had crushed the Imperial Guard in an instant were galloping wildly, snorting.

The unidentified demon at their head was about to unleash black monsters on the Imperial slave soldiers.

This was not an illusion.

It was not a hallucination created by drugs.

It actually existed.

Otherwise, this phenomenon could not be explained.

Fear spread through the ranks of the slave soldiers.

They instinctively realized what kind of end they would meet if they resisted them.

The trembling of the earth seemed to represent their heartbeats.

Black shadows rose into the air again.

The slave soldiers desperately shot arrows and aimed spears at it.

They continued their meaningless resistance against the beast that they couldn’t reach, or even if they hit it, their weapons would burn and disappear.

The black beast seemed to laugh at them as it descended to the ground once more.

Right above the heads of the slave soldiers.

Bang!

A violent shockwave spread through the slave soldiers along with the explosion.

“Kkeuaaaack!!”

The slave soldiers who couldn’t withstand the impact completely collapsed.

The slave soldiers at the front couldn’t resist their curiosity and looked back at the roar coming from behind.

Towards them….

“…Die!”

The Asgardian cavalry collided.

The very center of the 30,000-strong Imperial army was devoured by the jet-black monster, and the front was trampled by the white cavalry.

The screams of despair filled with the slave soldiers’ resignation echoed.

They threw down their weapons and scattered in all directions.

The Asgardian soldiers did not chase the fleeing slave soldiers.

They simply stepped on, cut down, and pierced the beings in front of them.

Their mission was twofold.

One was to rescue the survivors of the Hubel territory.

The other was to capture the commander of the slaves, the Emperor of the Kron Empire.

“Do not chase those who flee!”

“Find the Emperor!”

They grabbed the reins, wielded spears and swords, and advanced quickly.

Even though they had penetrated to the center of the enemy, their speed did not decrease but rather increased.

“It’s over.”

Brilliant sunlight shone down from the sky.

Loki’s shadows were sucked back into his body.

The victory or defeat had already been decided.

The Kron Empire’s slave soldiers had become meaningless.

The only will left to them would be, ‘Run away to survive.’

“Hans must have had a hard time.”

Not only did he create the shortest route to Ronia, but he also blocked these slave soldiers with mediocre soldiers.

Loki turned his gaze to the Hubel territory.

Slave soldiers who were unaware of the outside situation were popping out and being slaughtered by Asgardian soldiers.

Now, all that was left was to reach the Hubel territory.

That’s what Loki was thinking….

“Wh, what is it?”

“Wait! Everyone, step back…!”

A loud explosion was heard, and dozens of Asgardian cavalrymen floated into the air.

“…….”

Loki turned his gaze.

In the distance, there was something surrounded by Asgardian soldiers.

A luxurious palanquin that could be considered extravagant, and the slaves carrying them.

And above them was a human with thick, fleshy, brown skin.

“That’s the commander!”

“Capture him!”

As the Asgardian cavalry charged, the human pulled his hand back.

His thick arm stretched elastically and, with all his might, grabbed one of the cavalrymen’s heads and crushed it.

“That guy is…?”

The Emperor of the Kron Empire, Kashar Kron.

The commander of the slave soldiers was resisting to the end.

“Damn it! What are these gnats!”

Kashar swung his hand at the cavalrymen surrounding him.

His arm, using the divine artifact [Elasticity], stretched out and tried to strike the cavalrymen.

But for some reason, each of them reacted nimbly and avoided it.

Even if he managed to hit them by luck, they didn’t die.

They were bleeding and breathing, but they survived, whether they were fatally wounded or not.

‘These guys… are strong. Each one of them is on par with the Imperial Guard I raised… or even better.’

More than 6,000 soldiers who surpass the limits of humans?

That’s ridiculous!

Even the Kron Empire spent decades and spared no expense to barely create the current Trainer Imperial Guards.

But this unit with an unknown flag has a much stronger force than that…!

Kashar gritted his teeth.

He understood why King Ash feared them.

At the same time, he realized his foolishness.

Why did he draw his sword against those with this much power?

‘These guys were on the continent? How have they been hiding until now?’

Kashar groaned.

It’s dangerous. But it’s not a problem.

He is one of the 12 heroes.

A being who even killed the Demon King.

No matter how many gnats there are, they cannot kill him.

“Die!”

An Asgardian cavalryman held a spear blade and threw it towards Kashar, who was riding on the palanquin.

The spear blade flew as if it would pierce Kashar’s shoulder, but it couldn’t penetrate the thick blubber and bounced off instead.

“……!”

As the Asgardian soldier was startled, Kashar grabbed the spear blade he had thrown and threw it at the Asgardian soldier.

The spear blade pierced through the Asgardian soldier’s body.

“…It seems like spears don’t work on him?”

“Then does that mean swords don’t work either?”

“What should we do?”

“…….”

Kashar frowned.

Normally, you should be scared when you see this sight.

The spear blade doesn’t pierce, and he’s even showing strength that surpasses humans, but they have interesting expressions instead.

Even though their comrade died, they are only looking at Kashar and muttering, ‘How should we hunt him down?’

“You bastards-!”

Kashar spat out his anger, his pride hurt.

“Elephant hunting, is it?”

The Nord soldiers smiled.

They rotated flails [ spiked metal balls] with chains attached and threw them at Kashar.

Dozens of chains bound Kashar’s body from all directions.

The cavalrymen who bound the flesh scattered in all directions.

The chains tightened with the sound of flesh twisting.

Kashar’s arms were spread to the left and right, and even the legs supporting him on the ground shook slightly.

“Pull!”

The Nord soldiers tried their best, and the horses tried to run at full power, but Kashar’s tough body didn’t move.

“…Is it okay to kill that guy?”

“There’s an order to capture him, but there’s no order to capture him alive.”

The Nord soldiers grinned slyly and pulled the chariot and fixed it.

A small ballista [crossbow-like siege weapon] loaded bolts and aimed at Kashar’s head and body.

“Ugh! Bad taste.”

“So what…! Those who surrender are spared and released. But those who resist are killed. That’s the rule of Asgard.”

The Nord soldiers aimed the ballista at him as if they were playing an interesting game and pulled the trigger.

With a thud! The chariot shook, and the bolts flew quickly.

Kashar looked at the Nord soldiers, his forehead bulging with blood vessels, and his brown skin turned red as his blood boiled.

They were daring to treat him like a toy!

“You bastards-! What do you think you’re looking at the Emperor as!”

Kashar pulled on the chains tied to his arms and deflected the flying bolts with his fists.

Thanks to this, the bodies of the Nord soldiers holding the chains were thrown back.

The deflected bolts returned to the chariot, overturned it, and blew away the Nord soldiers riding there.

The Nord soldiers who were surrounding Kashar stared at him, startled.

They were surrounding him, so they didn’t know, but now they realized that he was an opponent that couldn’t be caught with ordinary attacks.

“This… is dangerous, isn’t it?”

“What should we do?”

The Asgardian soldiers had troubled expressions.

It was too much to surround him, but there was an order to capture him if they just let him go.

It was truly a difficult situation.

It was the same for Kashar.

The opponent was too tough.

No matter how much he beat them down and showed his majesty, they were not ‘afraid’ and did not release the encirclement.

Rather, they were tightening the encirclement even more.

“Slaves! Do something about those guys! Use yourselves as bait to break through the encirclement!”

Kashar ordered the slaves who were carrying the palanquin he was riding on.

The slave soldiers trembled at Kashar’s command, put down the palanquin they were carrying, and charged at the Nord soldiers.

Thanks to this, the slave soldiers who were late to escape lost their balance and were crushed to death under the palanquin, and Kashar, who was riding on the palanquin, staggered.

“Kkiaaaack!”

“…What is this?”

The Asgardian soldiers kicked, stabbed with swords and spears at the charging slave soldiers.

The slave soldiers who saw their comrades being killed in an instant were terrified and busy running away.

The Asgardian soldiers deliberately opened the way for them to be released.

It was a sight of them practicing the guideline of ‘If you resist, you die. If you surrender, you are released.’

The reason why the Asgardian soldiers were not killing the slave soldiers carrying the palanquin was because they had not attacked first.

“Get out of here! You bugs!”

Kashar slammed his hand, which he had thrown back, forward with all his might.

His massive arm stretched out and flew towards the Asgardian soldiers like a whip.

The Asgardian soldiers, engulfed in the shock along with the explosion, were thrown back.

Somehow, some managed to avoid the impact with parkour in the air, but the soldiers who were hit head-on by the whip-like hand died on the spot.

“…It’s dangerous!”

“Where is Commander Kudan?”

“Where are the Berserker warriors…?”

Kashar breathed roughly.

He was more angry and excited by the opponent’s reaction than tired from using his strength.

“You bastards! Why aren’t you scared! Why aren’t you backing down! How dare you hold your heads up straight in front of me, the Emperor! Kneel! Bow your heads and tremble!”

“…What nonsense is that guy talking about?”

The Asgardian soldiers shook their heads.

Kashar gritted his teeth.

The sound of his teeth breaking could be heard.

Even the great kings are made to bow their heads to the ‘Emperor.’

He is the son of God and his representative, and his command is absolute.

The lowly things that should be bowing their heads are holding their heads up straight and ignoring him.

For Kashar, this humiliation was a first.

“He really is like an elephant.”

At that time, a voice that touched Kashar’s nerves was heard.
