Chapter 29
Penthouse in New Gangnam District
A penthouse in Gangnam, rebuilt after the Great Cataclysm.
The Masters of Korea's top Guilds gathered to watch footage of Yoo Eunha.
Not because they were fans of Eunha.
They wanted to see firsthand the abilities of this mere student who caught the Association's attention and one-sidedly killed Kim Jae-soo.
"To subdue S-Rank Villain Kim Jae-soo so easily..."
"Hate to say it, but Kim Jae-soo was only strong because of the Flame of Purification Spear right? If we're being honest, his own skills were only A-Rank."
The blue-haired woman crossed her legs as she spoke.
Her name was Cha Jiyeon. She was the princess of the Cha family, one of the new Hunter clans that rose after the Great Cataclysm, and Guild Master of their Emperor Guild.
Known as the Ice Empress, she wielded powerful ice abilities and shocked the world years ago by creating an ice wall dividing Incheon and Seoul.
"Even so, does a student taking down an A-Rank Hunter look like fucking nothing to you?"
Baek Cheong-gang, who had been eyeing Eunha for recruitment after she one-sidedly killed Kim Jae-soo, felt Cha Jiyeon was getting too cocky.
With Kim Jae-soo's betrayal severely shaking the foundations of Korean Hunters, they couldn't ignore Eunha who subdued him.
Moreover.
She took down Kim Jae-soo with martial arts. That made her perfect talent material for the White Tiger Guild.
"How vulgar to say 'fucking'. Who said she was weak? I'm just saying. Anyway, Baek Cheong-gang, you're still so crude at your age."
"Oh yeah? Wanna go?"
"Your cotton fists probably can't even break my icicles."
As the two stood up from their seats, Firebat Kim Ji-hye slammed her bat on the table.
"Why are you all being so childish? Keep it up and I'll get mad too."
"Says the A-Rank."
"What did you say!?"
Kim Ji-hye, Eunha's instructor, was actually the one who gathered these Guild Masters.
What was she thinking getting mad after causing conflict by inviting Guild Masters who don't even get along?
A blonde man who had been quietly rewatching Eunha's footage in the corner spoke up.
"So why are we gathered here? You didn't call us just to watch a few seconds of Jinseok's sister taking down Kim Jae-soo together, right?"
"Fuck. Why are you all like this. You've all seen it already. Think I don't know? Your asses are squirming wanting to make first contact right? Ice Empress, you're saying that shit to lower interest while planning to approach her secretly."
"Ahem."
He wasn't wrong.
Every single one of them wanted to recruit Eunha to their Guild. They just weren't expressing it outwardly. Even Ice Empress Cha Jiyeon was similar.
Moreover, among the Guild Masters here, the women were Yoo Jinseok's heroines. Still holding onto their feelings for Jinseok even now, Eunha was the perfect recruitment target both for her skills and being Jinseok's sister.
"Wow, knew you were a fox bitch but you were secretly targeting her?"
"I heard the Association gave her the alias White Flame Sword Dancer. Means the Association has their eye on her too, so we need to move fast if we want to approach."
"She hasn't even taken the exam yet, let alone graduated. Scouting her now would be illegal."
Those were the rules. The Association could specially grant Hunter status to students in special cases, but Guilds without Association oversight couldn't make any moves.
At minimum they'd have to wait for graduation or final evaluations.
"But winning her favor should be fine right?"
"Fuck. You all still haven't given up on Jinseok? You'll end up old maids at this rate."
"None of your business. Even without being Jinseok's sister, someone of that caliber would be perfect for our Lily Guild."
Noah's Flower, the Guild Master of Lily Guild unrelated to Jinseok's companions, seductively licked her lips.
Rumors said Eunha was into yuri/les. If true, she'd be perfect for her Guild.
"Honestly with those skills she's amazing. Handling elements like that."
"Hmm, I'll have to think about it."
"Anyway, as a Hanseong Academy instructor, I'm warning you all. Try asking me to connect you with Eunha as a 'friend' and... *crack*"
"Says the A-Rank."
As Kim Ji-hye threatened them with her bat again, Noah pouted while a girl fiddling with Magic Gear in the corner looked on with disdain.
"For real. An A-Rank who's nothing without her bat acting all high and mighty."
"Don't want to hear that from someone your age still talking like that?"
"I'm eternally 17 so I don't age~ Still better than you who's useless without your bat. Weren't you drinking hangover soup when Hanseong got raided? Good job~"
"!!"
She only meant to warn them to give up on simply trying to recruit Eunha. But Kim Ji-hye finally snapped.
And that day, a pillar of flame rose from the Gangnam penthouse.
* * *
The Association Hunters pestered me for a while.
They asked what happened, talked among themselves, then said they'd text me later.
I don't want that.
Lee Yoo-jeong was nowhere to be seen, with only the Golem and Choi Siwoo around.
The feminized Choi Siwoo. Now this is a rare specimen.
They were even binding their chest with bandages, trying to stop their body from changing.
Those compressed breasts though, damn.
"*slurp* Amazing."
Honestly never thought I'd be attracted to Choi Siwoo.
Looking closer, their face seems different too.
Well, they were originally a pretty boy. But now they're an attractive woman with ash-gray hair.
I reached out to give a little touch when suddenly the Divine Sword next to Siwoo started thrashing wildly.
[Azhi Dahaka!]
"Hm? What, the Divine Sword? Now even that useless voice reaches my ears."
[I saw everything! To think you were Yoo Eunha!]
"Ahaha. So what? You're just a Constellation who has to beg Siwoo just to borrow their body?"
This bitch who can only stand with hands behind her back has some nerve questioning me.
[Eeek! What are you thinking! Are you trying to cause a Second Great Cataclysm?]
"Me? Why?"
[Think about what you did in the past!]
"That was then, this is now. I don't have reason to go that far anymore."
[What do you mean?]
It's annoying to explain everything, but the Divine Sword is ultimately an important weapon in this work regardless.
It would be troublesome to not get cooperation by refusing to explain out of annoyance.
Plus, the Constellation of the Divine Sword is beautiful. Extremely so. Perhaps from inheriting Azhi Dahaka's memories, I've become particularly aggressive about sex.
Right. What more needs to be said? Having already taken down Lee Yoo-jeong and Rosaria, I want this Divine Sword too.
"Ah, let's say living as a human is more fun. To be honest, I only see myself as someone who inherited Azhi Dahaka's power and memories right now. So I'm actually on humanity's side now. Need to filter out the Sins in this world first."
[How would you do that?]
"Wasn't my very existence an irregular to you? Different from before the regression? With me, we can prevent the world's destruction."
Only then did the Divine Sword fall silent for a while.
Everything will be different from before the regression. Clearly Choi Siwoo was the protagonist and Yoo Eunha was meant to die, but Eunha's death that significantly impacted the work was prevented by Eunha herself, not Siwoo, and that Eunha turned out to be Azhi Dahaka.
[How can I trust that?]
"I have lots of women following me, why would I? Kekeke. Believe it or not it's your choice but you can't get out of there anyway."
I stuck out my tongue and flipped them off.
[I can get out if Siwoo allows it!?]
Need permission and that's.
No, the Divine Sword's existence is important but Siwoo's appearance is important too right now.
Why they have axe marks instead of stick marks.
"More importantly, why is their body like this? Honestly wasn't planning to fuck them but was somewhat interested. Won't they get weaker as a girl?"
[It's my influence.]
"What? Hey, the fate of the world is at stake here. Tell me the details."
And so I heard the truth from this Divine Sword.
Setting-wise, I knew but this fucking Constellation was a lesbian. And they watched me playing with Lee Yoo-jeong. After regressing and having their fill of women, Siwoo became curious about what it feels like to be a woman.
They got somewhat caught up in the mood, but worried about decreased physical abilities, even if they did it they'd make them a woman after the final battle.
But the Divine Sword itself got horny. So that influence went beyond synchronization and greatly affected Siwoo's body.
Even if Siwoo's body was male, a mere human body couldn't resist the influence of a Constellation.
Naturally as that body constellationized, the flesh became the Divine Sword Constellation I'm talking to now.
In other words, when transformed to match that Constellation's appearance, they'd look quite fuckable.
Even now they're somewhat attractive, and the Constellation is a silver-haired goddess.
"Kekekeke..."
[Stop laughing, you lizard bitch. Thanks to your revival, Sin might become an even stronger enemy. No, you yourself might stab us in the back later.]
Well that's meaningless now. But hey, I exist right? Their back will definitely be sore.
But you know what? That's that and this is this.
"Setting aside what Siwoo wanted, you got so horny wanting to fuck me that you went beyond synchronization with Siwoo and now Siwoo is becoming you?"
[Don't make me confirm it again. I wouldn't have if I knew you were Azhi Dahaka.]
Lying bitch. I know this one's personality well.
In the original, Siwoo gets intimate with the Constellation through the Imagination World.
Though originally a lesbian Constellation, being an M-attribute pervert, they got conquered when pushed all the way.
Hilariously, that maximized their synchronization and made them stronger.
"Doesn't that turn you on even more? The Divine Sword who wants to save this world getting played with by the Evil Dragon who massacred 1 billion and caused the Great Cataclysm. Getting treated like a dog under the Evil Dragon, calling them master and being used like a slave."
[No. I...]
I know everything about you. You perverted bitch.
You must be excited.
The Evil Dragon, humanity's worst enemy. And though you should originally oppose such an Evil Dragon, the joy you feel as a female being dominated by them.
"What do you mean no. I know you're an M. If you want it that badly, make their body exactly how I like it."
[...]
"Then I'll play with you as much as you want."
[*gulp*]
Even then I didn't know.
That Siwoo's body would become a perfect female body in just one week.
