Chapter 173: Episode 33 – Reading Again (4)
Early chapters because I will be busy the next two days with Chinese New Year.

Sparks wrapped around my body as I felt the signs of a probability storm. This was a big burden for a single constellation not of the narrative-grade to bear.
I thought the records of how Cheok Jungyeong faced an army alone were exaggerated. However, rather than an exaggeration, the stories had been reduced.
In fact, Cheok Jungyeong had become much stronger than what was written in Earth's records after becoming a constellation. In other words, there were sword masters who would become nervous just hearing about this constellation.
Still, I had to endure it. If I couldn't withstand the spirit of Cheok Jungyeong, I couldn't break the 100 Days Seal.
[Your 'status' is currently sealed.]
[Your main skills are currently sealed.]
[Time remaining: 100 days]
The 100 Days Seal, which could be carried out by the three highest beings of the constellation 'Hongik', was the highest-grade seal that sealed up the target's abilities.
[Eat garlic and mugwort and endure for 100 days.]
Of course, this seal wasn't necessarily a bad thing. If I could eat garlic and mugwort for 100 days, I could receive Hwanin's blessing and wake up the potential of my body.
However, now I didn't have enough time. Han Sooyoung watched the garlic and mugwort pouring from the sky and asked, “Hey, isn't it almost done?”
“The power is so strong that it is hard to control. Just wait.”
I took a deep breath and controlled my magic power. Cheok Jungyeong lent me strength in response to my call but didn't say anything in his true voice. He just handed me some of his strength, as if saying 'try it if you are confident.'
As a result, I had been controlling the story that had been running wild for 30 minutes. It seemed like my whole body would burst.
I watched the grumbling Han Sooyoung and suddenly became annoyed. “This is all because of you. This wouldn't have happened if you didn't use me as a shield.”
“I didn't do it on purpose.”
“Do you expect me to believe that? Based on what you have always done…”
It seemed like many complaints had piled up and I couldn't help nagging. How many minutes had passed?
Han Sooyoung slowly got fed up and shouted, “Ah, I apologize! Yes, I used you as a shield. What do you want me to do?”
I wanted to say she was brazen-faced but then a presence suddenly intervened.
[The constellation 'Abyssal Black Flame Dragon' interrupts with a cough.]
[The constellation 'Abyssal Black Flame Dragon' says that Han Sooyoung never used you as a shield.]
[The constellation 'Abyssal Black Flame Dragon' says your death is your responsibility.]
Han Sooyoung shouted, “Hey, you shut up and stay still! Saying unnecessary…!”
“What does he mean?”
“It is nonsense. Don't worry about it.”
[The constellation 'Abyssal Black Flame Dragon' claims that Han Sooyoung didn't protect your heart to protect your black fire dragon.]
…My black fire dragon?
“That's why I…” Han Sooyoung hesitated before starting to talk. “I mean, Jeon Woochi's attack… flew to that place.”
“…Hah.”
I was so dumbfounded that I forgot the important situation and sighed. Han Sooyoung hesitated as she stared into my eyes and bit her lips. “That… you would be a bit unhappy if you lost that function so… I shifted the direction.”
“That's why it hit my heart?”
“…Well, there is such a story.”
It was an absurd story. Han Sooyoung didn't wait to see how I accepted it and added swiftly.
“I-I didn't have any strange thoughts. Don't be mistaken. The Black Flame Dragon bastard was shouting that I should protect the whale…”
