Chapter 368: A Mistake
[Many Constellations are happy to see some blood after a long time.]
[The Constellation 'Abyssal Black Flame Dragon' is waiting for the final confrontation to take place.]
[The Constellation 'Scribe of Heaven' is looking at the situation with narrowed eyes.]

But just as they were about to counterattack, 20 clones of Su-young rushed over the tides of people and jumped over the shielders, their target was the kings in the middle mainly Haru.
CLANG* CLANG*
They knocked down the flurry of ice shards that came their way with ease.
"I won't be able to help much," Jin-ah was mainly focusing on the crowd in the front so she had little power to spare.
"Me too," Alea was also fully focused on reinforcing the frontlines so that they don't get overwhelmed, she was also tying down the attackers who were rendered immobile. She now also had to make sure that more people don't jump over the frontline.
'We aren't going to get anywhere until we find the 'real' one,' Dok-ja glanced at Su-young who was still standing by the dungeon.
"Leave them me," Hae-in said and swung her sword in a circle sending a slash made of light.
SKRK*
All of the clones that were in the air were cut into two.
"Well, I'll go ahead and lessen the numbers," Hae-in smiled and flashed away going straight into the middle of the people, cutting and knocking people down before they even have a chance.
She had also made a name for herself among the constellation with her fighting prowess alongside Kanae.
[The Constellation 'Titaness of Enlightenment' is watching the confrontation with a grave expression.]

But this constellation seemed the most interested in Hae-in according to her observation.
"So, any special orders?" Hee-won asked while getting ready, after seeing Hae-in and the others go and fight she also felt like doing her part.
"Kill if you think your life is in danger," Haru said and Hee-won shook her head.
"That's as clear as it gets I guess," Saying that she rushed into the crowd and started to deal with the attackers as Haru was already gone from where he was before.
'This is troubling,' Dok-ja could also feel the gravity of the situation.
If Dok-ja kills someone his King attribute 'King of No Killing' would be gone, so he'll need to be extra careful with this as his only option was knocking people out.
The current situation was too chaotic where a simple mistake can lead to a huge loss for him, and if he keeps acting like this it also increases the chances of him getting exposed.
"You don't have to kill them if you can't handle it, I'll finish them off for you," Dok-ja heard Hee-won and looked at her, "It's alright, you are part of our group as well, and helping each other is natural for us."
"Yeah, Ahjussi you should let us know if you have any problems," Jin-ah laughed while sending out blunt icicles to knock out the attackers.
"Yeah, it makes stuff a lot easier," Alea also chimed in and Dok-ja felt a little weird, he didn't know he was looked on this favorably in the group. He thought they were suspicious of him but rather they were trying to help him.
It made him feel guilty for what he has been doing behind their back, but…
'Why are you calling me an Ahjussi?' Dok-ja couldn't endure being called that by a college student.
"What happened, Ahjussi?" This time it was Alea, and Dok-ja was stuck with an arrow labeled 'Ahjussi'.
"Looks like the Ahjussi is too touched by our kindness," Hee-won laughed while dealing with the attackers as well.
'Stop already I am not that Old!!' Dok-ja couldn't handle it and started to take out his anger on the oncoming attackers.
"I wonder how long you can keep that illusion going? You should be starting to run out of mana," Su-young knew there was no way out of here now.
The number of people on Haru's side of roughly 100 and the amount of people they were facing was a little over 300.
To combat that Haru had used his illusion skill on the people in his area of activation turning them against the others that were attacking. This added a safety wall but it was getting chipped away little y little, no Su-young was allowing it to be this way.
Su-young could've easily ended the lives of the people in the illusion and used the time it takes for Haru to put new people into the illusion to rush his group.
But she was letting it be, because Haru's illusion was too good, it controlled the five senses of the victims, and because it was that high level the cost to activate it would be equally big.
That is why she had gone with these numbers to attack Haru's group and trap them, this way Haru has no choice but to confront the people.
From what Su-young had observed Haru was a softie through and through, he would avoid killing people as much as possible, especially when the people in question are helpless like the current ones who were surrounding him and his group.
Right about now, Haru should be in big trouble trying to figure out what to do, but…
'Where did he go?' Su-young couldn't find Haru anywhere in the area.
"I'm here~," But then a voice came from behind Su-young startling him.
"So, you still have some tricks aside from the illusion," Su-young turned around and 'looked' at Haru. He had come to know that Haru had high stats to match that absurd ability of his, which is what made him that deadly.
But Stats can be increased by anyone as long as they have the coins.

'And I have a lot of coins now thanks to this guy,' Su-young looked at Haru
"Of course, did you really think I didn't have anything else?" Haru tilted his head, and the answer came quickly.
"Yeah you look like a one-trick pony after all," Su-young smiled.
"If you thought that you'd be here yourself instead of hiding like a scared cat," Haru smiled as well.
'Do you think I am stupid enough to show in front of you after seeing what you did?' Su-young did see Haru one shoting a king, so there was no way he was going to come out in front of this person even if his ability was unusable now.
He was thinking that maybe he can trick Haru into believing that he had really come out in front of him, But…
Haru already knew that Su-young wasn't here, he was hiding in the surroundings from where he can see the battle clearly in order to control the clones.
The clones can't see because of the blindfolds, so Su-young would have to control them manually like he has been doing this entire time. But it was quite difficult to find Su-young in this area because there were a lot of vantage points that can be used around here.
So, even if Haru deals with all of the clones, unless he finds the real Su-young he wouldn't be able to put an end to the attack of the people.
"Unless you can search through the entire Jong-du district and find me, This is checkmate," Su-young grinned, it was easy what Haru was trying to do here, Buying time won't help him in any way, unless…
"Yeah it is, but I am not the one who got checkmated here," Su-young's eyes jumped for a second after hearing that but he quickly regained his composure.
"Now you're just bluffing,"
"Should we test it out?" Haru smiled as Su-young's clone tried to attack him with a dagger but it went right through Haru like he was made of mist.
And before Su-young could turn around his head fell on the ground in an instant.
"Yes, this feels just right, you should be more used to this as well," Haru smiled and picked up Su-young's head from the ground and removed his blindfold.
"Damn you bastard," Su-young cursed while grinding his teeth.
"You've made an impressive plan but, you made one mistake," Haru said with a smile that irritated Su-young to no end, but…
"What? Did your supporting constellation pull something from his ass?" Su-young scoffed.
"No need to try and waste time here, for all you know I might be just behind your real body while you think that you are running away," Su-young clicked his tongue as Haru said that.
