The Protagonist’s Younger Sister Revives as a Constellation Episode 080

[Caw caw! Caw caw!!]

The short, harsh sounds seemed to mock us.

“That thing?!”

Kang Seo-u’s eyebrows twitched once as he pulled out his staff and raised it toward the sky.

A red flower bud bloomed from the green-tinted staff and instantly grew in size.

A bullet shot out from inside the enlarged bud, soaring toward the crow at the front that was mockingly cawing at us.

The bullet, which had transformed into vines while drawing a parabolic arc, wrapped tightly around the monster’s body and slammed it to the ground.

The crow hit its head as it fell to the ground, rolling its eyes back and staggering around dazed.

[Caw, caw caw!!!]

As if the one that had been mocking us was the leader of this flock, another crow nearby cried out again.

Feathers scattered everywhere from the powerful wingbeats. Like a pillow fight where the pillow had burst, the feathers obstructed our vision.

After that, it was complete chaos—no, crow chaos.

Flying winged monsters versus one human with firearms and one Constellation.

We were outnumbered.

What I newly learned was that guns were a useless choice when a few faced many. I couldn’t even hit their fluttering wings, let alone their bodies.

My Hunter status window didn’t have any suitable skills, so I had no choice but to fight with my bare hands.

Since humans don’t glow when using skills, I couldn’t even use Constellation skills as a decoy.

When I get back, I’m going to practice shooting first thing!

At least Kang Seo-u’s bullets were manifested through skills, so the seeds that extended like tentacles transformed into vines and bound the monsters’ wings.

As I regained my composure and aimed again, my head was pecked for the third time.

I gritted my teeth and shouted toward the invisible Kang Seo-u.

“Oppa, the wings! Attack the wings!”

Oh, speaking out loud lets me directly convey the core’s location? I briefly admired this while swatting away a monster.

“Oh! Got it!”

Hearing my shout, Kang Seo-u changed the form of his bullets again.

This time he restrained the monsters by binding them with thorned vines.

A crow deeply pierced by the thorned vines that gradually tightened around it vanished on the spot.

However, there were still countless crows left to deal with.

Sigh, why are we gunners?

Jin Sehyeok handled them so easily that I let my guard down for a moment. I shouldn’t have forgotten that the protagonist is an S-rank Hunter.

When Jin Sehyeok conquered the Crow Dungeon, he had a skill called 【Glacier Hunt (S)】, so these small fry were laughably easy for him.

Even though they’re both S-rank, the reason Kang Seo-u is struggling is probably due to skill differences.

I suddenly thought that if Kim Igyeol had been in this dungeon, it would have been perfect for dual sword training.

Attack with one hand, defend with the other. This place is perfectly suited for dual swords.

I had only thought about it, but a familiar weapon passed before my eyes.

As if entranced, I rolled my eyes following the light’s afterimage.

And at the end of that afterimage, I smiled helplessly.

I must be seeing things. Otherwise, why would Kim Igyeol be in this dungeon?

I was trying hard to deny what I had seen, but Kim Igyeol’s sword once again cut vertically through space.

The Unwavering Sword I had given him revealed its presence by emitting a brilliant light.

Even after rubbing my eyes and opening them again, it was still Kim Igyeol standing there.

With trembling hands, I pointed at Kim Igyeol. My mouth fell open without me realizing it.

“…Why is he here?”

“Who?”

Hearing my voice, Kang Seo-u looked around.

“Huh. Kim Igyeol?”

“Jin Serin? Kang Seo-u hyung?”

This wasn’t a hallucination. Kim Igyeol also seemed bewildered.

He casually swatted away the flock of crows rushing at him as if they were annoying, then approached us.

Watching Kim Igyeol approach, Kang Seo-u asked in a confused voice.

“Why are you here?”

“I was running an errand for noona and ended up coming in.”

In his left hand hung a torn plastic bag. The logo on the bag was from a cafe famous for its desserts.

Kang Seo-u and I alternately looked at the bag and Kim Igyeol.

Receiving our gazes, he looked down at his left hand, which had lost its weight, with empty eyes.

“Some crow robbed me on the way here.”

Kim Igyeol replied in a deflated voice while casually swatting away the attacking crows.

At the mention of being robbed, Kang Seo-u furrowed his brow and muttered with a mixed expression of pity and bewilderment.

“Crows eat desserts too?”

“Maybe because the plastic was shiny.”

Kim Igyeol answered with an indifferent face, saying he didn’t know that counted as shiny, and had somehow approached my side.

That’s probably not the reason. I recalled what I had seen in the original work and spoke to Kim Igyeol.

“Did it happen to have fruit flavors? Or maybe something with figs?”

“That’s right. There were also desserts with fig jam inside.”

Kim Igyeol, who had swatted away a crow diving for my shoulder, looked down at me with eyes asking how I knew.

It seemed like they took it because they wanted to eat it, not because the plastic was shiny.

The owner of this dungeon is a fruit killer, especially figs.

Their love was so exceptional that they created a fig garden in the Second Area. If we go just a little further from this area, the sweet fragrance will probably hit our noses immediately.

[Screech screech, caw caw!]

[Caw! Caw!]

[Kek, grrrowl!]

Since the fighting humans had gone still, the monsters exchanged incomprehensible cries among themselves.

Before it was too late, I told Kang Seo-u and Kim Igyeol to cover their ears.

Constellation ‘Noble One Who Returned from Death’ sponsors the item ‘Noise-Blocking Earplugs (A)’.

I didn’t forget to find an item from the store and give it to Kim Igyeol.

Seeing him obediently put on the item I gave him, when before he would have just stared, made me choke up with emotion.

Skill 【Unwavering Tranquility】 is activated.

I wiped my dry eyes with the back of my hand for no reason and recalled the strategy Jin Sehyeok had used.

Rather than killing them indiscriminately, we needed to fight through the attacking crow monsters and the feathers obstructing our vision to find the path.

There was an invisible barrier between areas, so once we moved to the next area, we would part ways with this flock of crows.

“Ugh! They keep coming endlessly!”

From a little distance away, Kang Seo-u shouted as if the endlessly appearing monsters were annoying.

Unlike Kang Seo-u, who was firing off skills more irritably than before, I was relaxed.

Thanks to Kim Igyeol guarding my side, the crow flock was split in two. The presence or absence of someone watching your back makes such a huge difference.

Even while pulling the trigger at monsters, I glanced at Kim Igyeol as he silently swung his sword.

Kim Igyeol didn’t use his 【Sanctuary】 skill, even though he had that high-performance shield skill.

It looked to me like he just forgot about it, but that’s actually better.

Growing from B-rank to A-rank (13.7%)

-Mental cultivation (2/10,000)

-Training (190,321/300,000)

-Monster elimination (92/500,000)

-A-rank or higher dungeon clear (1/20)

-Irreplaceable skill acquisition (0/1)

After a long time, I opened Kim Igyeol’s growth window to check it.

All he does is eat and train, so his cultivation stats have noticeably increased. But this isn’t what I wanted to see, really.

I focused on the ‘Monster Kills’ section. Even now, the numbers were rising in real time.

That crow was truly a filial monster.

Then I became concerned about the plastic bag (or what used to be one) still rustling in Kim Igyeol’s hand.

I sent him a message.

Constellation ‘Noble One Who Returned from Death’ says it would be better to throw away that trash and fight with both hands, eyes gleaming.

After checking the message, he put the plastic into his inventory and drew another sword.

Even in the midst of this, his refusal to litter anywhere showed he had received excellent home education.

However, contrary to my expectation that Kim Igyeol, who had been standing guard in front of me, would now charge forward, he remained in place and only parried the incoming attacks.

…What is he doing right now?
