Plod. Plod.
Seong Jihan approached the cracked statue of the Constetion.
Among the beasts, there was a statue resembling a tiger. The crack was around its leg.
Come out from there now!
Although shouted from afar by a monkey-like monster reprimanded by a Constetion earlier, Seong Jihan did not respond. Instead, he struck the cracked statue with the Eclipse sword.
Then, the statues eyes sparkled.
[What do you think youre doing Breaking this wont cut off the Constetions support. Wasting your strength on trivialities!]
Is that so? Even if the statue breaks, the spirit remains, hence the Constetions support continues?
[Youve seen the spirit, have you? Yes. No matter how much you try to destroy me, the support continues. All that remains is for you to be overpowered by yers much weaker than you!]
Really?
[Yes, now scram!]
As the powerful aura from the Constetions statue surged, Seong Jihans sword, unable to properly pierce the statue, was on the verge of being deflected.
However,
Fundamental Divine Arts,
Annihtion Gods Secret:
Myriad Ghost Sealing Gods
As the Myriad Ghost Sealing Gods manifested from the swords tip,
Whoosh!
White smoky essence rapidly began to leak from the cracked statue.
[What is this!]
The spirit got sucked into the Myriad Ghost Sealing Gods instantly.
The Constetions statue, sensing its critical condition, shed a bright light attempting to somehow repel Seong Jihan.
But,
Lets feast a bit more.
Avoiding the counterattack, Seong Jihan continued to draw in the spirit with the Myriad Ghost Sealing Gods.
Although the crack was so small that he could not absorb the opponents spirit all at once even with the technique fully deployed, he felt a rapid fulfillment inside the Myriad Ghost Sealing Godspared to the amount he had consumed.
This might yield something more if I continue.
Seong Jihan recalled a game in the Northern Wall. There, absorbing fragments of a Constetions spirit with the Myriad Ghost Sealing Gods produced an item from within the formation.
Although he couldnt directly use this item, it contained the memories of a Constetion, aiding in increasing his stats.
Lets put this to good use again.
As the Myriad Ghost Sealing Gods continued to devour the spirit from the cracked statue,
The Constetion seemed increasingly desperate.
[You Stop standing there gawking and attack him quickly!]
But Im still having trouble controlling my power.
[Even if the statue breaks, its fine, just chase that creature away!]
Youre giving me permission?
Willing to risk the destruction of its statue to repel Seong Jihan, the observing monkey-like monster once again charged at him.
Ill join the fight!
Other yers, one after another, joined in attacking.
Boom! Boom!
As consecutive powerful attacksnded, Seong Jihan found himself forced to withdraw the Myriad Ghost Sealing Gods to avoid the blows.
Whoa.
The statue by then had more cracks.
Thanks, guys. Thatll help me feed.
What
Seong Jihan smiled lightly and thrusted his sword into thin air, summoning the Myriad Ghost Sealing Gods once more. This time, the formation was significantlyrger than before.
[No, hes creating it again]
The Constetion, seemingly not expecting Seong Jihan to immediately recreate a formation capable of absorbing the soul of a Constetion,
Will feast well.
As Seong Jihan fully activated the Myriad Ghost Sealing Gods,
Whoosh!
More spirits were absorbed from the cracked statue, and once the formation waspletely saturated,
Pop!
A massive fang emerged from within.
Finally, it appeared.
An item imbued with the experiences of a Constetion.
Despite containing enlightenment from a being entirely alien to humanity, as one who harbored Martial Soul without conflicting nature, Seong Jihan could utilize this to increase his stats.
Not the best time to absorb it, though.
With attacksing from all directions, Seong Jihan ced it into his inventory and looked back towards the Constetions direction.
Despite absorbing so much, the spirit of the full-fledged Constetion seemed to have more left to consume.
As expected of a Constetion. Plenty to feast on.
As Seong Jihan continued to dodge and maintain the Myriad Ghost Sealing Gods,
[Ah, this wont do. I will cancel my support and return to my sarcophagus!]
As the Constetions statue mentioned its sarcophagus,
Rumble
The ground split, and the giant statue promptly sank into the earth.
What? The Constetion is leaving
Damn, Ive lost some power!
With one Constetions support withdrawn, some yers felt their strength diminish.
They havent weakened much though. Did their power drop by about 2-3 percent?
Such a reduction was not enough to make a one-against-many battle easy.
Evaluating the opponents strength, Seong Jihan shifted his gaze afar.
He aimed for a location with as many Constetions statues as possible.
That direction should do.
Whoosh!
Seong Jihans form stretched towards the east.
Where are you running off to?
Quickly, lets chase him. Hes trying to do something rash with Constetions statues!
If we lose Constetions support, were doomed!
As the remaining yers hurriedly followed him,

The Graveyard of Stars Map.
The aspect of survival that had been dominated by Seong Jihan bore an oddly altered state now.
From an outside view, it appeared as though the yers sponsored by Constetions were jointly besieging Seong Jihan, putting him in an apparent disadvantaged position.
Why are the Constetions suddenly stepping in like this?
Just stick to receiving their support Ugh, its frustrating to see everything go south at thest minute.
Wow, Seong Jihans really good at dodging; those attacking him must be so annoyed.
For real, haha. Hes so slick at dodging attacks from all sides.
Humanitys viewers were worried the game might flip, watching this fight unfold.
Absorbing the spirit of a Constetion What kind of ability is that?
He doesnt break the statues with his power but uses the other yers power instead.
Nine Constetions have already retreated. yers movements have also slowed down significantly.
To win like this
Ah, I thought he was going to lose this time. That guy
Alien viewers, several levels more observant, were noticing a distinctly different aspect of the battle than what surfaced.
Using opponents power to break the statues and utilizing the Myriad Ghost Sealing Gods at the cracked parts to absorb the Constetions spirits were Seong Jihans tactics.
[This madman! If this continues, hell entirely rob us of our spirits And, Im returning to my sarcophagus]
Whoosh
As the tenth statue sinks into the ground, the power of opposing yers noticeably weakened.
No more running!
Fight me fair and square!
Shouting at Seong Jihan moving towards the next statue, the yers screamed, but
Fair and square when you 12 are ganging up? Does that even make sense?
Grr!
Unable to overpower Seong Jihan alone, the 12 yers banded into teams, making their words ring hollow.
It might be best to avoid attacking near Constetions statues, dont you think?
I was thinking the same around the fifth one. But that guy kept destroying them
Is that so?
Yeah. Just a crack on the statue is enough. Then he uses that strange formation to absorb Constetions spirits. Its a headache
If more Constetions return to their sarcophagi, the game is over for us. We mustnd a sessful blow.
If things keep going like this, hed be too much for us to handle. If the buff disappears further, were all doomed.
Facing certain defeat if the situation continued, the 12 yers were desperate to strike Seong Jihan,
[Useless beings Despite giving them tremendous power, theyre utterly failing to utilize it.]
Already losing patience, the Constetions sponsoring them were,
[Absorbing Constetions spirits This being is beyond the norm.]
[Lets give up on this game. Hes only doing this to exit early. If we lose more spirit here, well be stuck in sarcophagi even longer.]
[Right. Lets cut our losses this time.]
Observing the direction the battle was heading, the Constetions decided to no longer put their stakes in the 12 yers.
No, they can still do it! Theyre getting used to me! Just trust them a bit more! You dont want to lose your weapons, right?
After stashing the tenth Constetion item into his inventory, Seong Jihan, hearing the Constetions voices from afar, hurriedly shouted,
[Were withdrawing!]
[As for the weapons Sigh, well just make new ones.]
The Constetions had already given up on the game.
Rumble
Thend began shaking all around.
The Constetions statues, prominently standing on thend, swiftly hid themselves underground.
-What? LOL
-The Constetions are escaping??
-Seong Jihan desperately protecting their shields, haha.
-At least take a hit, man. If you keep slipping away like that, who would count on you? Haha.
And then,
This this is bad
Our blessings have disappeared
Looking at each other with distraught eyes were the 12 yers.
Bolstered by the Constetions support, they had once exuded a fierce might.
Now, they were reduced to mere yers.
Ha
Plod. Plod.
Seong Jihan sighed deeply and walked towards the 12 yers.
Among them, Seong Jihan was of the smallest stature.
However,
At his footsteps, the rest of the yers found themselves unwittingly taking steps back.
They had not managed tond a solid hit even with the Constetions support.
Now that the support was gone, they couldnt muster the courage to confront him.
Hey, you guys are also Constetion candidates?
That, thats right.
Really? From the Grand Master League?
Im from the Star League, actually.
Hearing that, Seong Jihan furrowed his brows.
The Star League, for those from level 450 to 500.
Why was this guy mingling in a ce for Grand Masters?
So, youre above level 450.
4-478.
Why so weak? You shouldve at least broken an arm or a leg of mine. Give the Constetions some hope.
Ssshhh.
As Seong Jihans shadowy sword began to glow more fiercely,
One of the yers grit his teeth and eximed,
You, you must have deceived us! How can a yer, not even a Constetion, possess such power?
Thats right. A being with sealed powers should not have this much strength!
As the yers, unable to ept the turn of events, started to voice their disbelief,
Shick!
Seong Jihan, having no intention of listening, swung his sword.
Their bodies were cleaved in two and fell apart.
[You have secured 1st ce in the Special Survival Map, Graveyard of Stars.]
With the game ending message popping up, normally, this would have meant logging out.
[You have secured 1st ce without any Constetions sponsorship.]
[You havepleted the epic quest.]
[You have received 100,000 Constetion Fame.]
[You can choose one item from the spoils of the Graveyard of Stars.]
This time, instead of returning to reality, Seong Jihan found himself summoned to a space filled with darkness because of the epic quest rewards that allowed him to choose from the spoils.
Ah, only one?
Hoping the fourfold rewards from having his abilities sealed applied to the epic quest as well, Seong Jihan was slightly disappointed it didnt extend that far.
As he mulled over this,
sh! sh!
Lights burst around him, revealing an array of weapons glowing in various shapes within the dark void.
[You may choose one item from among these.]
At a nce, there were over a hundred weapons. Most were not suited for human use, but an array of equipment unrecognizable to mankind.
Given the diversity of species, it seemed likely items would emerge this way
Theyre all too big for me.
Among the supreme Constetions, there seemed to be no species around the size of humanity.
Seong Jihan surveyed the equipment with a hint of disappointment. With so many pieces drawing from various cultures and styles far removed from humanity, no spoil immediately resonated with him.
Hmm I better look for something of value then.
Deciding it was better to prioritize value over utility, Seong Jihan thought something of high value wouldter be traded for a more suitable item.
Lets start treasure hunting, then.
Ssshhh
Seong Jihans shadowy sword began to rapidly freeze over.
