I’m not a Regressor

ere 5-Star.

As much as the skills he was using were unfitting for his level, the same amount of enormous mana was consumed as a side-effect.

“Fuu.”

“Are you tired already?”

Compared to Ohjin’s gradually progressing ragged breathing, Park Gunwoo was still doing fine.

“Why the fuck are you taunting when you’re holding on by using a blessing?”

Twe—

Ohjin spat out the collected saliva in his mouth.

Even if Park Junwoo was an 8-Star Awakener, it wasn’t possible to avoid getting shortness of breath after all those fierce clashes.

The reason why he wasn’t getting tired lay in the fact that he had received the blessing of ‘Noctua’.

It couldn’t be said to be his own strength.

“Kuhuhu! Then isn’t there no problem if you also receive the star of the Weaver Girl’s blessing?”

“I’m still doing fine, so there’s no need to call my goddess yet.”

“…You’re doing fine?”

Park Gunwoo looked at Ohjin with confusion.

The way he gasped for air seemed to be rather far away from ‘being fine’.

“You’re bluffing.”

“Are you sure? Whether I’m bluffing or not—”

Ohjin turned his body around.

“—confirm it yourself.”

He ran towards the broken glass window with all his might.

“Wh-What!”

“Catch me if you can.”

Raising his middle finger to Park Gunwoo, who urgently reached out his hand, he jumped off the 50th floor of the building without hesitation.

Fwooosh!!—

Fierce winds brushed past his cheeks.

As a thrilling sensation spread out from his spine, the entire view of the battle with thousands of demon beasts in Guro-dong could be seen with a glance.

“Hmpf!”

Bang! Bang!!—

He shot his wires at the building walls.

Like Tarzan swinging through the jungle on vines, he used the wires to fly from building to building while reducing his speed.

‘It was impossible to get up there without Riak’s help, but…’

It wasn’t hard to get down using wire shooters.

Whoosh! Whoosh!!—

Moving around buildings at a quick speed, he found his destination.

‘Over there.’

Ohjin, who found a mountain of demon beast corpses, recalled his wires and twisted his body in the air as if performing aerial acrobatics to land on the ground.

“Well, then.”

Ohjin looked up at the skyscraper that became quite far away.

He didn’t expect that Park Gunwoo would be unable to chase him.

‘He’ll chase me using whatever the means since he’s gone as far as to use a blessing.’

It was highly improbable for him to give up when he had given up several decades of his lifespan.

‘I should get prepared in advance.’

Ohjin climbed up the mountain of demon beast corpses after confirming that there wasn’t anyone nearby.

It was time to use the ‘hidden card’ he had thought of.

‘Will it really be possible?’

It was possible in theory.

Logic and reasoning also fit into place.

However…

‘Will I… be able to do it?’

Was it right to hastily lay his hands on the unknown power that had caused the destruction of the world once before?

“Ha,” he chuckled.

“Since when have I quibbled over stuff like that?”

Ohjin smirked and opened his hand.

Flutter!—

At that moment, Park Gunwoo appeared in front of him as black feathers scattered.

“You bluffed that you were doing fine, yet is running away all you can resort to in the end?”

Disappointed emotions were mixed in his low voice.

“I would have ran to where Lee Woohyuk is if I was planning to run away, you dumbfuck.”

Ohjin cackled out and rubbed his fully opened palm with the sharp blade of the spear.

His flesh tore, causing blood to spill out.

Mana was contained within the blood of Awakeners.

And in his case—

‘Black Heaven.’

—there was another kind of power that it also contained.

Drip, drip—

Black clouds started to spread out from the center of where the blood dripped down.

—To the extent where it covered the thousands of demon beast corpses scattered out in the area.

“Come to think of it… I forgot to tell you this.”

“What…?”

“Thanks for setting up this unlimited buffet for me.”

Cackle—

Ohjin’s shoulders shook up and down as he laughed.

He had never used the Black Heaven so widely before, however…

‘As expected, it works.’

There was never a need to have physical contact to absorb using the Black Heaven in the first place.

He started to think about the possibility of being able to absorb all the starstones hiding inside the black demon’s corpses in one go by spreading the Black Heaven’s clouds out wide.

—It was the hidden card that he prepared.

“Do you know the method of filling up a cracked jar?”

“…What are you scheming?”

Growl!!—

The black clouds that spread out started to dig into the corpses of the demon beasts.

Greedily and gluttonously…

The darkness of the Black Heaven devoured hundreds… thousands of starstones.

 

“You just need to chuck the entire jar into a pool.”

 

The mana that was beginning to run dry started to rise up with explosive momentum.

-Ring!

Black clouds escaped out of the gap of his torn palm and explosively gushed out while spreading out like fog.

[You will obtain a random ‘Ancient Constellation’ stored within the Black Heaven.]

A blue message that appeared in the darkness shone like a star.

____

T/N: The constellation Noctua is spelled ‘Owl’ in Korean just like how other constellations are in Korean (ex.
Draco->Dragon, Leo->Lion), but as Noctua is a constellation with no ‘named’ star, the celestial of Noctua has the name ‘Noctua’ romanized in Korean and the constellation itself is named ‘Owl’ so both the celestial and constellation share the same name.

P.S.
This might also happen with future constellations with Black Stars as they aren’t well-known enough to have named stars.
