Avoid Yandere Constellation

It had only been an hour since we invaded the cult’s branch.

Yes, just an hour.

It was a short time, enough to play a couple of famous games.

Despite the short time,

-Boom! Bang!

Half of the cult’s branch had already been destroyed.

[The Goddess of Fate says that you all look like trash.]

I couldn’t deny it.

After all,

“Hmm, this isn’t the fight I expected…”

“It’s boring.”

None of them showed any signs of fatigue or injury.

Well, I had expected this, but seeing it in person made me feel a little…

I mean, it’s a bit like watching a horror movie where you know the ghost will appear, but it’s not scary at all.

It’s a similar feeling.

As I had this thought, I looked at the clean path in front of me.

Unlike the pile of corpses behind us, the walls were clean.

The path was so clean that it felt out of place.

“It’s obviously a trap.”

William nodded without hesitation, as the path in front of us was too unnatural.

‘Even in the original story, it was obvious…’

I didn’t expect it to be like this.

I thought it was just a game, but it wasn’t.

The traps were so obvious, just like in the game.

I turned to William and asked,

“What should we do, Professor?”

“Hmm.”

“I’ll do it.”

As William was pondering, Skaya confidently stepped forward.

Then, she snapped her fingers.

-Whoosh!

A complex incantation appeared on the ground.

Sion widened her eyes in surprise.

“Hmm? What’s this…?”

As she was surprised,

-Crash! Boom! Bang!

Countless traps were destroyed one by one.

From the sound, it seemed like most of them were arrow or magic bomb traps.

‘Hmm, with these traps…’

No one would have been injured.

The people here, including me, were strong enough to withstand arrows.

The only one who might have been affected was Sion, but even she could have easily destroyed these traps.

As for the magic bombs, they could have been avoided with perception.

[The Goddess of Fate says it wouldn’t hurt to let them have a little fun.]

No, I want to let them have some fun, but it’s too obvious.

They seemed to have prepared something ambitious, and I felt a little guilty for ruining it so easily.

I imagined that if the branch leader were here, he would be very surprised.

We had destroyed all the traps with just a snap of our fingers.

As I felt sorry for the branch leader, who wasn’t present,

“Then let’s finish this quickly!”

Skaya urged us to hurry.

We nodded and ran through the trap area without any hesitation.

.

.

.

Another hour passed.

We searched every room thoroughly and either destroyed them or killed the hidden enemies.

Now, only the branch leader’s research room remained.

We smashed the door in front of us.

“W, what?! Already?!”

A man who looked like a third-rate villain had his eyes wide open in shock.

He couldn’t believe what he was seeing.

‘Hmm, it’s over.’

As I thought this, we were about to approach the branch leader when,

-Whoosh!

A phone vibration sound came from somewhere.

What’s that? It sounds familiar.

The others also looked around, as they had heard the sound too.

At that moment,

“Khehehehe.”

The branch leader started laughing as if he had taken drugs.

We turned our attention to him.

Then, he crossed his arms with a confident look.

“Finally, it’s done! I’ve completed it!”

…Could it be?

I hoped my guess was wrong and turned up the volume as much as I could.

Then, I turned towards the sound, which was now clearer.

-Whoosh!

As expected, unlike in the original story, the incantation was activated.

Damn it!

.

.

.

When Kaine was on Earth,

After finishing his part-time job, he played the game as usual.

“Damn it, developers! This is clearly a balance-breaking game!”

He said this as he played the game with a hunched back.

Not long after,

-GAME OVER.

His character, or rather, Kim Soo-yong, was dead on the screen.

“Damn it! This is a trash game! I hope the developers go bald!”

He cursed the developers and drank the drink next to him.

Then, he turned his attention back to the screen.

He opened the guidebook and read it slowly.

“The highest-tier demons are the strongest beings in the demon world, excluding the Great Demon. They possess strength that is on a different level from high-tier demons…”

Well, I understand that they are on a different level, but…

Isn’t it too different?

When we fought the high-tier demon, even professional gamers would have cried.

I defeated it with my pure skills without any difficulty.

So, I thought the highest-tier demon would be manageable.

But that was arrogance.

The highest-tier demon couldn’t be defeated with just a finger snap.

In fact, when I fought the highest-tier demon, I couldn’t even reduce its health by a fifth.

The difficulty is so high that it’s reasonable to suspect that the developers made this game to mess with the players.

“It’s not just a high difficulty…”

It’s an impossible level.

It’s so difficult that…

-Is this a balance error by the developers?

-Agreed. Did they expect us to clear this?!

-Hey, you guys have no conscience! You just want us to spend money!

-LOL

-I cleared this game.

-Really?

-No, I’m just joking. LOL

Even in a community of veterans, such comments were made.

It wasn’t just the veterans, but also those who had spent a lot of money on the game.

-Hmm… I can’t deal enough damage.

-Maybe they made it like this so that people like us can’t clear it.

-Huh.

They were in an uproar because they couldn’t clear the game.

Normally, most people would give up at this point.

However,

“If we give up here, we’re not true Koreans.”

It’s not for no reason that Koreans are known for their gaming skills.

In other countries, not being good at games is just disappointing, but in Korea…

‘Let’s go to America, Mom and Dad.’

Of course, since he was an orphan from birth, this didn’t affect him much, but it still didn’t feel good to hear it.

‘Anyway, that’s not the important point.’

I took a detour, but to get to the point,

I’ve never spent money on games before.

I thought it was a waste of money.

Honestly, I thought it would be better to put in the effort to clear the game instead of spending money.

But looking at the wall in front of me, I realized that was my arrogance.

The difficulty of the game made me realize that there are things that can’t be achieved through effort alone.

Thanks to the developers, I was forced to face reality.

“I’m going to spend money on the game right now!”

Without hesitation, I spent money on the game for the first time.

.

.

.

Kaine shook his head to clear his thoughts.

He looked at the incantation with a stiff expression.

‘Could it be that he’s possessing a highest-tier demon?’

As he thought this,

“Cough!”

Dwayne suddenly coughed up blood.

He was so surprised by what was happening to his body that he looked at the incantation like a broken doll.

“What, what’s going on?”

The incantation was absorbing the sacrifices and the corpses in the branch.

But that wasn’t enough, as it was also swallowing Dwayne.

“Damn it! What the hell is this?!”

There’s one thing Dwayne didn’t know.

Demon possession can only be successful with the incantation taught by Andrew.

Kaine and his group were stunned by the sudden situation.

After all, the magic power emitted by the incantation was not normal.

‘It’s too late to stop it now.’

If they approached the incantation now, they would most likely be swallowed.

Everyone was aware of this, so they just stared at the scene in front of them with tense faces.

No one moved.

About ten seconds passed.

“Kyaaah! Save me!”

The third-rate villain was completely swallowed by the incantation.

Then,

-Spark!

Black sparks flew from the incantation.

The demon that Kaine had just spent money on for the first time.

The strongest beings in the demon world, excluding the Great Demon.

Those beings were now…

“It’s been a while since I’ve been in the human world.”

They appeared in front of them.

“…”

An alarm bell rang in their heads.

They knew that if they didn’t move now, they would die.

Acting on instinct, Kaine moved.

However,

“Cough!”

It seemed like he was too late, as half of his heart was destroyed.

Along with the Holy Cross.

“W, what?!”

“Kaine!”

“Darling!”

“Oppa!”

[The Goddess of Fate says she’s preparing to descend right now!]

Kaine’s critical condition shocked his companions.

Rain quickly ran over and said,

“…”

She bit her lower lip and shook her head.

His companions couldn’t believe what they were hearing.

Kaine endured the pain and said,

“Don’t… look away… just look straight… ahead… I… can’t… be saved…”

His words caused tears to well up in his companions’ eyes.

They all knew that it was impossible to save him.

After all, half of his heart was gone.

The only reason he hadn’t died instantly was because of his extraordinary physical abilities.

If not for that, he would have died long ago.

In the end, they all made up their minds and turned their attention to Kim Soo-yong and his group, who were fighting the highest-tier demon.

The next moment, they glared at the highest-tier demon as if they were going to kill it, and took a step forward.

Meanwhile, Kaine…

-Bang!

He focused on observing the fight in front of him.

‘I couldn’t avoid this, damn it. Since I’m going to die anyway, I might as well gather as much information about that guy as I can.’

It would be pathetic to die here without gaining anything.

The highest-tier demon calmly spread his hand, and…

“Damn it!”

Suddenly, Burke’s ear started bleeding, and he died.

What was that…?

Kaine wasn’t sure what kind of attack the demon had used, but he had figured out one thing.

It was a sonic attack.

‘It was a good thing I turned up the volume beforehand.’

If he hadn’t turned up the volume to the maximum, he would have had a hard time figuring out the demon’s attack.

But just in case, he needed to confirm it.

[The Goddess of Fate says she’s ready now!]

“A…ni…

[What are you talking about?!]

The Constellation had a seizure.

Kaine ignored her reaction and said with all his might,

“Anyway… I… will… reincarnate… so… that… guy… uses… sonic… attacks… right…?”

[…The Goddess of Fate says it’s correct.]

The Constellation confirmed it.

Now, it was okay to die.

Kaine slowly relaxed his body.

Or rather, he couldn’t put any more strength into it.

His body was turning cold, like it was freezing.

His vision became blurry.

His face turned pale.

His sight gradually darkened.

His eyes began to lose focus.

Not long after,

[You have died.]

With that message, the reincarnation began.

.

.

.

After that, they challenged the highest-tier demon again.

[You have died.]

They died again.

This time, they tried to stop the incantation, but…

[You have died.]

It was too late, and they couldn’t stop it.

So, from his second reincarnation onwards, Kaine realized one thing.

He realized how absurd the highest-tier demons were.

After defeating the highest-tier demon, the succubus queen, Ange had overwhelmed her, and Kaine had unknowingly become arrogant.

From then on, Kaine changed his mindset and continued to challenge the demon.

[You have died.]

[You have died.]

[You have died.]

[You have died.]

…

…

…

…

After countless reincarnations, he finally found a way to defeat the demon without anyone dying.
