<h4>Chapter 260: Episode 49 – The Best at Something (2)</h4>
The moment I opened my mouth towards the constetions,the frightened Han Myungoh raised his hands. “D-Don’t include me! Honestly, I don’t think I will be any help.”
He was frightened. All participants and helpers would be at least a great-grade constetion. It was a power that Head Manager Han of Mino Soft didn’t have.
I touched Han Myungoh’s shoulder and told him, “Please fill in the number of people. It isn’t a real death even if you die in there. Just close your eyes and y the game.”
The Mythical Battlefield had a total of three chances. If I lost this round, I could make up for it in the next round and the round after that.
“B-But it will be painful!”
“Yes.”
“Then I don’t want to! I won’t...!”
“Thank you, Department Head-nim.”
[You have gained ‘Demon Earl Han Myungoh’ as a helper.]
[Number of helpers spots left: 5 people.]
It would be nice if I could get a better pinch-hitter but there were no suitable talents. I could choose Mark or Aileen but they were honestly inferior to Han Myungoh, who was a demon earl.
“I will naturally participate.” Jang Hayoung bumped his fists like he had been waiting.
[You have gained ‘Dimensional Mover Jang Hayoung’ as a helper.]
[Number of helpers spots left: 4 people.]
How much was Jang Hayoung’sbat power now? I heard he came third in the martial artspetition but... I couldn’t feel it because I wasn’t present. The Jang Hayoung of any round hadn’t seeded the Breaking the Sky Swordsmanship during this period.
I turned my head towards another Breaking the Sky Sword Saint disciple. “Breaking the Sky Master.”
Woof!
The answer was simple.
[You have gained ‘Knowledgeable Dog Breaking the Sky Master’ as a helper.]
[Number of helpers spots left: 3 people.]
The transcendent dog Breaking the Sky Master could definitelypete with the great-grade constetions. This dog would obviously be a big help in this fight. By the way, the expression of the Breaking the Sky Master wasn’t good.
Grrrr! Woof!
The Breaking the Sky Master’s blustery gaze was directed towards a dog. I knew what he meant.
“That’s right. He is a new colleague.”
Woof woof woof!
“It can’t be helped even if you don’t like it.”
Osu, who had been watching quietly, started sniffing the butt of the Breaking the Sky Master. Then the Breaking the Sky Master had mes in her eyes as she kicked his forehead.
Yiiiip!
He wasn’t reliable but I had to add him as a colleague. He was better than Han Myungoh because he was a great-grade constetion.
[You have gained ‘Dog Who Threw Himself into the mes’ as a helper.]
[Number of helpers spots left: 2 people.]
One of the remaining two spots was for Yoo Jonghyuk.
[You have registered ‘Supreme King Yoo Jonghyuk’ as a helper.]
[The character is currently not nearby.]
[Once the person epts the offer, they will be automatically summoned to the battlefield.]
[There are five minutes remaining.]
Now I had one spot left.
[The constetion ‘Demon King of Salvation’ is looking at the constetions.]
I could feel the eyes of the constetions on me. Let’s get a volunteer.
“Is there anyone who can be a helper?”
To be honest, I thought there was no way there would be no applicants. The constetions in the channel were those who had been following my story all the way here. If there was more than one volunteer, I might be able to rece Han Myungoh. By the way...
[The constetion ‘Queen of the Darkest Spring’ is making an unknown smile.]
[The constetion ‘Bald General of Justice’ wipes his head hard.]
[The constetion ‘Mass Production Maker’ isining of back pain.]
...Shit.
[Many constetions are turning their heads away from your eyes.]
I red at the sky with disapproving eyes. This stage might not be deserving of Persephone or the Mass Production Maker but there were the great-grade constetions...
I sighed and turned towards Jang Hayoung. “Jang Hayoung, did you contact the constetions I mentioned?”
“...Yes.”
In order to prepare for this day, I asked Jang Hayoung to get in touch with some constetions.
“What about Maritime War God?”
“He said he will think about it.”
I frowned. How long was he going to think about it? No matter how much he was worried about the probability... Was he afraid of going against other nebe?
[The constetion ‘Bald General of Justice’ is wiping his head with a towel.]
Originally, my n was to bring Breaking the Sky Sword Namgung Minyoung and Paradox Baekchung Kyrgios Rodgraim. However, these two people were now in Murim.
“Goryeo’s First Sword?”
“There was no answer.” At this point, I felt a bit betrayed.
[The constetion ‘Bald General of Justice’ has a traffic expression as he wrapped the towel he wiped his forehead with around his head.]
It couldn’t be helped. If this happened, I had to choose the second best thing.
[The constetion ‘Bald General of Justice’ is nodding and looking at you.]
“Asmodeus. Didn’t you say you would help me?”
A sinister ck star in the corner of the sky wriggled at my words.
[The Demon King of Lust and Fury is looking at you.]
[The Demon King of Lust and Fury says he will help from the third round.]
...From the third round?
[The Demon King of Lust and Fury wants to test if you deserve his help.]
I bit my lip. This damn demon king was now measuring me... I wondered if I could make it to the third round. Fortunately, I didn’t see any names of demon kings among the helpers on the other side.
[In the Melledon, the constetion ‘Founder of Humanity’ has been designated as a helper.]
[In the Bercan, the constetion ‘The Last Pharaoh’ has been designated as a helper.]
[In the Melledon, the constetion ‘Poked Out His Eyes’ has been designated as a helper.]
[In the Melledon, the constetion ‘General of Banara’ has been designated as a helper.]
There were the modifiers of some fearsome constetions, even if they weren’t demon kings. I could even see some narrative-grade constetions. The desire of the constetions to tear, chew and taste this scenario could be felt on my skin. It was a situation where I had to grasp at any straws.
“Uriel.”
[The neb Eden is troubled by your suggestion.]
[The demon kings of the Demon World are paying close attention to the movements of the nebe ‘Eden.’]
...I forgot that this was the Demon World. The image of Uriel and the writings of the Scribe of Heaven appeared in front of my eyes. As long as the agreement between the two groups persisted, Uriel wouldn’t be able to participate in the game. In the end, I reached out for another straw.
“The Great Sage the Equal of Heaven.”
However, the reaction of the Great Sage the Equal of Heaven.
[The constetion ‘Prisoner of the Golden Headband’ is scoffing at you.]
[The constetion ‘Prisoner of the Golden Headband’ is clicking his tongue at the constetions of the other industrialplexes.]
He seemed to think that this stage didn’t fit his pride as the Monkey King. It would hurt his self-esteem to lower himself to this scenario.
[The constetion ‘Abyssal ck me Dragon’ is chuckling towards you.]
Jang Hayoung asked like he had heard the message. “What about the fire dragon?”
“No.”
“Why? He’s better than I thought.”
I knew the Abyssal ck me Dragon wasn’t a bad guy but his power was too risky to borrow. Crucially, there was a separate ce where the Abyssal ck me Dragon was needed. I eventually sighed. “It can’t be helped. The only remaining constetion is...”
“Who...?”
[The constetion ‘Bald General of Justice’ is holding his bamboo stick like he has been waiting.]
“Jang Hayoung, send a message to Secretive Plotter.”
[Some constetions are surprised by your choice!]
The constetion Secretive Plotter. Of the four main constetions in my channel, he was the only one whose identity I didn’t know. I didn’t know why he hadn’t showed up in my channel when the Great Sage the Equal of Heaven and the ck dragon had appeared.
[A small number of constetions are afraid of your choice.]
[Some constetions are trying to dissuade you from your choice!]
The reactions of the constetions were understandable. I wasn’t sure about the identity of the Secretive Plotter but it was highly likely he was an outer god. He also had enough influence to knock away the great old ones. Perhaps the other constetions were deeply conscious of this fact.
Jang Hayoung typed something in the air before calling out to me, “Kim Dokja. Did you say it properly?”
“Why?”
“Look at this.” Jang Hayoung showed me the screen he had entered. The following message was on the screen:
[This modifier doesn’t exist in the Star Stream.]
I was stunned and asked Jang Hayoung, “Did you enter it correctly?”
“Do you think I’m a fool?”
Jang Hayoung once again entered ‘Secretive Plotter.’
[This modifier doesn’t exist in the Star Stream.]
Secretive Plotter... this modifier didn’t exist?
[The constetion ‘Prisoner of the Golden Headband’ is making an interested expression.]
[The constetion ‘Abyssal ck me Dragon’ is curious.]
[The constetion ‘Master of the Skywalk’ is turning on thework.]
[A number of constetions are searching for Secretive Plotter.]
I didn’t think it would be like this and was momentarily paralyzed.
[There is one minute remaining.]
In fact, there were cases where constetions had multiple modifiers. However, was that the current situation? A modifier had disappeared?
“What now?”
Jang Hayoung stared at me with nervous eyes. The remaining time was less than 30 seconds.
[The constetion ‘Bald General of Justice’ is screaming and standing up!]
I looked up at the sky. It was hard to ignore him anymore.
“...Samyeongdang, please help.”
The moment I spoke, lightning shed in the sky.
[The constetion ‘Bald General of Justice’ is using probability to summon an incarnation body!]
I stared at the incarnation body that was being formed in the dazzling light and thought about it. It might be better to have a trustworthy allypared to a strong but uncontroble constetion. At the very least, Samyeongdang was one of the constetions who supported me when I first got the rights to open a neb.
The summoning ceremony ended but the light still hadn’t disappeared. A closer look showed a sh of light from the head of Samyeongdang. I used my hand to form a curtain as a voice was heard.
[It’s been a while, Kim Dokja.]
I was impressed by the true voice that contained a formidable history. Dogs and cats could be constetions if they were lucky. This didn’t mean they were constetions.
“It’s been a long time, Samyeongdang.”
The three metres tall monk. He held arge bamboo stick that was like a giant tree. The great-grade constetion ‘Samyeongdang’ finally revealed his true self.
[You have gained ‘Bald General of Justice’ as a helper.]
[You have all your helpers!]
.
.
[All participants havepleted recruiting their helper.]
[The game ‘Mythical Battlefield’ has appeared in the Demon World!]
