The night is coming soon, along with the appearance of mysterious constellations in the sky, among the constellations of the Zodiac. Just being around made Seo Jun-Woo feel disturbed.
Now, he had just returned to his rented apartment that he had not occupied for a long time.
"Well, it feels so tired because too many things are happening."
He began to lie down in that place, trying to calm himself down. The bustle had continued since he had lost his way in the Dark Dimension, even after coming out, he was preoccupied with the ambush preparations of the Shadow Legion Guild.
Even the matters of war with the Zodiac Guild back then were still complicated. It's also a matter of people's views on the disappearance of another Zodiac Constellation.
He started to turn on the television, which is now being broadcast about everyone's silence.
"Reported Stars belonging to Constellation Zodiac Leo, disappeared two days ago, along with the appearance of strange Portals around the World. Now people are starting to get anxious to see how one by one, the Zodiac Constellation is starting to disappear. Actually what happened?"
A host was seen showing an anxious expression in front of a television screen. Along with video footage of people starting to give their opinion on it as well.
"This is clearly the sign of the downfall of our world! The Constellations fell, the Dark God must be the mastermind behind it all!"
"I heard, the Hunters of the Zodiac Guild began to lose Contact with their Constellation, and now as one of them were in fear. We all know, the Zodiac Guild still holds the control of so many Hunters around the World in their auspices, the disappearance of the Guild Elders, the disappearance of their Constellation, lowering the fighting spirit of all of them, he said, whereas at this moment it takes a lot of Hunters to fight," the host said again, starting to explain the situation.
One of the other hosts started commenting as well, though,
"really so. Currently the Hunter fighting spirit was in a dramatic decline especially for those affiliated with the Zodiac Guild, making the Regions around their Main Headquarters experience so many losses and fatalities,"
"Our line also tried to figure out the whereabouts of the Zodiac Guild Alliance's last Chairman, Kang Min-Hee, yet he still could not be contacted until this point. The Zodiac Knight Elders also suddenly disappeared at a time like this."
"Really, what happened after this?"
Seo Jun-Woo's expression listening to the news showed a bad expression. He also knew, there was a huge consequence after making a mess by eliminating the Zodiac Constellation.
Clearly because the influence of the Zodiac Constellation was so great at the moment, their disappearance was clearly making a mess. Although all he destroyed was his top, it was enough to make the other Hunters become frightened.
Seo Jun-Woo also knows, among the Zodiac Members, not to demand the possibility, that there are among those who are both victimized and deceived like Lee Cha-Eun. Many people knew nothing, but now that the Constellations were gone, they were also victims.
However, Seo Jun-Woo now sees that the Hunters rely more on Blessing's given by the Constellations than on relying on Strength alone and practicing. Unlike the past, when it was still the beginning where the Constellations had not greatly affected life.
Moreover, all of a sudden it was this kind of great disaster, which made everyone even more frightened. Seo Jun-Woo pondered for a moment, was his decision to exterminate the Zodiacs wrong?
However, they obviously could not be allowed to mushroom just looking at their behind-the-scenes behavior that was completely inhumane.
All their doomed research, clearly gaining the full support of the Zodiac Constellations themselves.
If left, how many more people will be victims?
It's pretty worth it, but it's not worth it either. In the midst of this kind of chaos, it had instead made more casualties due to the decline of the Hunters.
"Damn it, I just didn't think there would be anything like this,"
Right now on the news, the atmosphere is being shown from all corners of the world where only chaos and destruction are everywhere, just like the cityscape he saw during his return the buildings were falling down, he said, and the monster's corpse.
Fortunately enough, his Apartment Building, still in a safe state, it seems this place still has good enough protection because it is in the city center. But what about the more remote areas?
Even when there were Dungeons appearing, the areas that were in the interior were harder to reach and would have more casualties, let alone in times like these.
Seo Jun-Woo could not imagine it.
"No. I need to calm down. There is no point in thinking about the decisions I have made. It's all happened, no reset and no restart."
Until then, suddenly there are surprising things that appear on the television screen. There was a familiar-looking girl there holding a Press Conference.
Seo Jun-Woo who initially wanted to make sure the tv was soon grandfather with the girl figure that was on the screen.
"I am Lee Cha-Eun, a Zodiac Knight Guild Member. I know everyone must be confused about the disappearance of our Zodiac Elders and Constellations."
The girl seemed to have a calm expression as she began to give an explanation.
"He ... "
Seo Jun-Woo was completely speechless when she saw the girl on the television screen. She thinks Cha-Eun is currently in a depression, trying to figure out what happened to her and all the realities she later accepted.
Look at the girl now being in the presence of everyone starting to explain the situation. Starting from some of the crimes of the Zodiac Guild he had said, and the evidence gathered.
People were clearly astonished by Lee Cha-Eun's statement.
"We know you can't believe what I'm saying. Yet all the evidence is clear that these Guilds, and our entire Guild Alliance, harbour a shadow of an evil shadow of darkness. I know, the disappearance of the Constellations also confuses you all. The pillar that had been our support all along seemed to be smashed into pieces. It's heavy, for us and for all of you."
Lee Cha-Eun still had a sad expression when saying all that.
"I will make sure the Zodiac Knight Guild and the entire Alliance will be restored and repaired later. Everything will be fully researched and re-viewed. But now, it was not the time for those things because of the dire situation. I'm sure many of the people must have been angry after hearing the dark side of our Guild. But you have to hold back first, everything will be resolved."
He said it with calm exertion now. And it looked like it was sighing, really it seemed like it was preparing to say the most serious thing.
"And most importantly, I know, the original Hunter from the Zodiac Alliance is currently in a state of confusion.I know that among you there is really nothing to know about any of this. And now, you've become doubtful and fearful because our Constellation is gone. It's hard because we've lost most of our strength. But look around you again, people are still alive, we are all still breathing even after our Constellations have disappeared. We can still be fine without them."
He still continued his words.
"Only, a great calamity suddenly appeared all over the World, bringing the world into doom. So I hope everyone, who lost their Constellation, doesn't get too desperate. We still have people we care about and we must protect even if we lose most of our power. We must rise again, even without the Constellations. Believe that no one can be a pillar other than yourself, Believe in your own abilities, that you can get through this. You do not need to rely solely on Constellation, It is time that we begin to be independent and believe in our own strength, we must rise up, and begin the New Era, without relying on Constellation. You and I can get through all these crises, so believe in your own power, we can do it together, without them."
Those excited words also come to Seo Jun-Woo making him pound a little. He had not expected, at such a time, that girl was so brave, to say all these things.
To get people back up and standing on their own feet.
"Huh, right too. What am I afraid of? After all, people could always rise up in the midst of a crisis, just like escaping the Crisis seventy years ago. It will be a new Era as Cha-Eun said, to depend on oneself, without Constellation."
