Avoid Yandere Constellation

At that moment, Lise, who had been watching the mummy’s battle, felt something off and looked around. Then, she tilted her head.

‘Huh? Where did the Young Master go?’

He was nearby just a moment ago. But now, Kaine was nowhere to be seen. Lise was confused, and Kage, who was nearby, ate the snacks she had received from Kaine as a bribe.

“Master went to the bathroom.”

“The bathroom?”

“In this situation?”

At her words, Lisanna and Lise were dumbfounded. After all, going to the bathroom in this situation seemed absurd. But…

-Kyaaaak!

-Kiiieeeek!

The monsters couldn’t even step into the estate, which made sense. After all, even Kage was leisurely eating snacks and watching.

So, it wasn’t strange for Kaine to go to the bathroom in this situation. The situation was so relaxed that it was almost unbelievable.

After confirming that Lisanna and Lise had turned their attention back to the mummy, Kage thought…

‘Master! Hurry up! I’ll get in trouble if they catch you!’

She was anxious inside.

Mild stared at his arm, which had a hairline fracture.

‘Tsk! What a brute.’

Mild clicked his tongue inwardly. On the outside, he looked calm, but in reality, he was quite anxious. First of all, there was nothing to gain from fighting the guy in front of him, and time was not on his side. If he got caught up with the guy in front of him, the monsters would soon arrive. But…

‘That’s not an option.’

If the guy in front of him was weak, it would be a different story.

‘But that’s not the case.’

The moment he thought he had caught the guy off guard with his illusion magic, he thought he had won. Usually, it would have ended there. But, contrary to his expectations…

‘I didn’t expect him to block it so easily.’

On top of that, his weapon was absorbed into some kind of pocket dimension. As Mild furrowed his brows, Kaine was also feeling a bit anxious. However, unlike Mild…

‘If I don’t hurry, I’ll lose my points.’

He didn’t want him to escape; he was worried about losing his target. Kaine had secretly come here with his companions. What if the constellations and the Lise found the branch leader?

‘I won’t be able to kill him.’

Of course, he could trust the saints and the two constellations. But Origin was a different story. She was still shouting ‘Byaaack!’ and slaughtering monsters.

Without a doubt, if she found the branch leader, he would be dead before Kaine could even ask her to let him handle it. So, he needed to act quickly.

After making up his mind, Kaine stomped the ground.

• Boom!

•

Just one stomp, and it sounded like a bomb exploding. Mild widened his eyes.

‘So fast!’

He dodged Kaine’s punch towards his face by barely turning his head. Then, he grabbed Kaine’s arms with both hands and…

-Boom!

Slammed him into the ground. Normally, this would have been a very effective hit. But, as expected…

“Hmm.”

Kaine had a calm expression on his face. Then, he opened his mouth…

“Keep holding me like that.”

As he said this, Kaine used his inventory in front of Mild. At the same time…

• Whoosh!

•

The weapon he had absorbed earlier was infused with Demonic power and launched towards Mild. Mild concentrated Demonic power in his hand to deflect the weapon, but…

-Pffft!

He couldn’t completely deflect it, and it grazed his cheek. Blood flowed from his cheek. Kaine smirked and said…

“Your weapon is pretty good.”

“…….”

Mild ignored Kaine’s taunts and took a step back. He calmly assessed the situation.

‘The tricky pocket dimension ability seems to have a radius of about 10 meters.’

Kaine’s physical abilities were superior to his. So, he needed to kill the guy without worrying about his back. Otherwise, he might be the one to get killed.

.

.

.

At that time…

“When will this end?!”

The Goddess of Fate slaughtered monsters with an annoyed expression.

‘Hoo. Why am I doing this?’

She had come here to spend time with Kaine, nothing more. She hadn’t come here for anything else.

But for some reason, not only had a few constellations and her romantic rival interfered, but now these strange guys were causing trouble. Constellations and a romantic rival? She could somewhat forgive them. At least they didn’t interfere at the critical moment. They had a bit of conscience, it seemed. But…

“I, ugh! You bastards!”

She couldn’t forgive these guys. Especially since they interrupted at such a critical moment! The moment she was creating a sweet atmosphere with Kaine!

“Why! Are you interrupting meeee!”

She expressed her anger, which had gone beyond annoyance. Then, she released a lot of holy power.

-Waaak!

It pierced the dark sky. The monsters, which had been rushing like pollution, turned into dust. It was as if the pollution was being purified.

Everyone behind her knelt down, witnessing what seemed like a miracle. They prayed as if they had seen a miracle, unaware that she had released holiness just to vent her anger.

With all the monsters gone, the Goddess of Fate looked around with beady eyes. She didn’t care about the praying people.

“I’ll kill the one who caused this.”

.

.

.

Mild, unaware that he had been marked by the Goddess of Fate, continued to exchange blows with Kaine.

-Boom! Boom! Whoosh!

They had been fighting for a short time. Normally, there would have been brief conversations, lasting only a few words. But for people who had reached a certain level, it was a life-or-death moment.

For them, killing someone in 3 seconds was like eating porridge. And the same was true for the two of them.

“…….”

“Hoo…”

The two men faced off. Mild, enjoying the fight with Kaine, sank into thought.

‘That guy…’

Where does he end? He had thought the guy’s abilities were limited to physical enhancement and pocket dimension. But…

‘That wasn’t the case.’

His ability to predict and move before Mild’s attacks. His arms stretching and shrinking. Even his use of light and the color of his power to deceive the eyes.

The guy in front of him was fighting with a variety of abilities. As if testing his own strength.

Mild had faced countless enemies, but…

‘This is the first time I’ve seen someone with such diverse abilities.’

Most people had at most one or two abilities. And the same was true for the cult’s leaders.

‘They’re strong, but…’

They didn’t have as many abilities as this guy. Even Andrew, who was the leader, didn’t have as many abilities. As Mild took a moment to catch his breath and think, Kaine spoke to him.

“Hmm. I think I have a good idea of my level now.”

“….Were you really testing your level against me?”

“Hmm? Yeah, you’re the perfect opponent to test my level.”

Kaine smirked, and Mild’s eyebrows twitched.

“Fine. Let’s see if your level is good enough to test mine!”

Mild said, using his illusion magic. At the same time, his figure disappeared from Mild’s sight.

‘Hmm. Is this that again?’

Whenever he was in a tight spot, the branch leader would use illusion magic to escape. It was getting tiresome.

However, there was definitely a limit to how many times he could use it. Otherwise, there was no reason for him not to use it consecutively.

‘From my observations, he can only use it three times against me.’

Kaine closed his eyes and maximized the volume adjustment. Then…

-Rustle!

He heard the guy’s footsteps. There was no way he could just ignore it.

Kaine stomped the ground towards the sound. But…

“I expected that.”

Where the sound came from, there was a dead body, not the branch leader. It seemed that he had used his dead subordinate as a decoy.

‘First time.’

The branch leader swung his palm horizontally behind him.

-Whoosh!

Normally, Kaine would have been hit, but…

‘Transformation.’

Kaine, who had various abilities unlike others, could easily dodge this attack. He used transformation to shrink his body.

Mild’s attack ended up hitting a tree behind him instead of the empty air.

• Crunch!

•

The tree was cleanly cut, as if sliced with a sword. Kaine transformed back to his original size and performed a backspin blow towards the branch leader. And as expected…

‘Second time.’

The branch leader turned into dust. Then, he appeared in front of Kaine and thrust his palm.

• Whoosh!

•

Just before the branch leader’s palm pierced Kaine, he used his inventory to launch a weapon. Then…

‘Third time.’

The branch leader’s figure turned into smoke again. Just then…

“Die!”

The branch leader’s voice, filled with killing intent, came from behind. The next moment…

-Swish!

Kaine’s body was cut in half. Or so it seemed. But…

“….?!”

Kaine’s body slowly began to dissipate, like an afterimage. Just then…

“Hey. Is this the end of your tricks?”

Kaine’s voice echoed in his ear, sending shivers down his spine.

“I’ve seen your level.”

As he finished speaking, an eerie chill ran down Mild’s spine.

To shake off the fear, Mild shouted loudly and spun around.

“Aaaaaah!”

As he swung his palm, infused with Demonic power…

-Boom!

Before that, Kaine had layered Demonic power and magic and thrust his palm into the branch leader’s face. A bomb-like sound echoed as the branch leader flew away.

-Bang!

He collided with a large rock. The rock shattered and crushed the branch leader.

-Guuuuung!

The sound of the branch leader’s dying breaths echoed in Mild’s ears. From the sound, it was clear that he was done. He wasn’t an illusion this time.

As Kaine approached the branch leader, pinned under the rock…

-Thud. Thud.

His footsteps were quite clear. Kaine asked…

“Huff… Huff… How did you know my limit was three times?”

Curiosity filled his voice. Kaine responded with a smirk…

“Why should I tell you? Just die wondering, you bastard.”

“…….”

The branch leader didn’t respond. Or rather, he didn’t have the energy to speak.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

“Hoo…”

Kaine took a shallow breath and examined his body.

‘I need to be more careful with stacked physical enhancements.’

He had only used it twice, and for a short time, to dodge the final attack and punch the branch leader in the face.

Even though he hadn’t fully exerted his Demonic power, his body felt like rags.

“I need to train my body more.”

As he thought this…

[Quest Completed]

A message appeared before his eyes, indicating that the branch leader was dead.

‘Now, what should I buy with this?’

Kaine fell into a happy dilemma, not remembering that Kage was waiting anxiously.
