Chapter 2032: The Power Of The Circle of Constellations!

AUTHOR NOTE: Hey sorry, but I ended posting the wrong Chapter yesterday. This was Chapter 2032, not 2031, I’ve posted Chapter 2031 in the previous Chapter and moved yesterday’s Chapter into its proper position right now. So please read the previous Chapter to read what I forgot to post. For future readers, please don’t worry, everything is in order.

In a shocking turn of events, Elayne had awakened to not just one, but two entirely new and unprecedented Classes. Thanks to the critical Error she had deliberately induced within the System, she managed to merge and combine several Druid Circle options that were never meant to coexist. The result was the birth of two incredibly powerful and unique Circles: Constellations and Hell.

These were Circles of Druidic Magic that had never been seen before—ancient powers only theorized in forgotten tomes and whispered legends among the most reclusive sages. The deliberate fusion of multiple incompatible Circles, an act that would normally be considered utterly sacrilegious and sinful by traditional Druidic orders, had instead triggered something extraordinary. A brand-new, never-before-tapped source of power surged into existence deep within the Netherworld.

And this phenomenon was far from limited to the domain where Elayne currently stood.

Not at all.

The entire world of Arcadia felt the monumental shift. From the Realm of the Living high above, to the deepest abysses of Hell, across the endless sea of stars shining brilliantly in the Astral Plane, and most intensely within the Netherworld itself, a massive ripple spread through the fabric of reality. Powerful energies stirred and realigned in response to this awakening.

Many ancient and terrifying Old Monsters, feared Death Apostles, and even the Demon King himself sensed the disturbance. A profound anomaly had shaken the delicate balance of energies and powers flowing through the Netherworld. Someone had gained dominion over the Constellations themselves and, even more shockingly, had claimed an Authority over Hell. The news sent ripples of unease and curiosity through the highest echelons of power.

Each of Elayne’s new skills carried immense, world-altering potential. As she continued her fierce battle against the evil Jester, she quickly reviewed their descriptions once more, putting their powers into practice while the maddened jester rapidly revived himself again and again.

[Speech of the Stars – Tier 3: Level 1/30]

[You can speak in celestial stellar languages to issue commands, grant instant buffs, or reveal hidden truths and weaknesses to allies. You may also debuff foes with piercing cosmic insight. Constellations, Stellar Beasts, and other celestial beings can understand your words, and you can understand theirs.]

"YOU LITTLE BITCH... I’M GOING TO—!"

"Stop."

The power of Speech of the Stars activated instantly. Brilliant strands of starlight manifested from nowhere, binding Jester tightly for several crucial seconds. His eyes widened in utter disbelief as Elayne descended upon him like a falling comet, channeling the power of her next skill.

[Starry Totem – Tier 3: Level 1/30]

[You gain the ability to harness the power of constellations to alter your own form and/or summon a Starry Totem of a chosen Constellation to aid you. The available Constellations are drawn from a random pool of three. Each possesses unique abilities and powers. Leveling increases the strength of both the Totem and your transformation, as well as the duration you can maintain it, which consumes Spiritual Energy and Mana.]

Drawing upon the temporary blessing of [The Golden Lion of Eternal Radiance, Leo] from the Zodiac Constellations, Elayne assumed the power of his Starry Totem. This was a never-before-seen form of Totem Magic that called forth the essence of Constellations as if they were powerful guardian Spirits—similar to what her companion Mark had once achieved.

"D-Damn it! She’s too fast!" Jester snarled, clenching his teeth in frustration. His Chaos Energy struggled to keep up with her burning, radiant flames. With a single, mighty roar that shook the battlefield, Elayne paralyzed him once more and plunged her sword downward, cleaving and slicing his body into dozens of pieces in a blinding flurry of strikes.

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

"G-GAAAAHHHHH!"

Even as Jester screamed in agony, he regenerated at an incredible speed by spamming high-grade healing items through his special Player skill that allowed auto-usage of assigned items. In desperation, he pressed his hands together and reinforced his Chaos Energy, channeling forbidden Cursed Sorcery from Earth and fusing it with his own twisted abilities.

"You damn little bitch! You think you can interrupt my show and do whatever you please?!"

As he roared in fury, Elayne closed the distance once again. She spoke another stellar command, causing surges of starlight to bind him, but Jester violently brushed them aside with an explosive burst of his Chaos Aura.

"Dark Chaos Sorcery – Warped Entropy: Eternal Suffering!"

RUMBLE!

For a brief but terrifying moment, endless darkness swallowed everything around them. The spell trapped Elayne inside an endless purgatory of eternal pain and torment. Her entire body was submerged in destructive black miasma and chaotic forces that relentlessly tried to tear her apart at the molecular level.

"A mere Tier 3 cannot possibly survive a powerful spell from a Tier 5! This is how this world works!" Jester laughed maniacally. "Under specific rules that you cannot break like you could on Earth, you—!"

"Thousand Constellations."

"...Eh?"

[Thousand Constellations – Tier 3: Level 1/30]

[Channel the power of the Constellations and call forth their might into the Mortal Realm. Depending on which Constellation you summon, a different powerful spell will be unleashed. This is highly dangerous Wild Magic. With each level, the power of the summoned spell increases. Sufficient mastery over Speech of the Stars and Starry Totem will eventually allow you to choose and control the Constellations you summon.]

The moment she activated the skill, the entire world around her warped and twisted. Jester’s dark spell shattered like fragile glass as thousands upon thousands of radiant stars suddenly fell from every direction, bombarding his chaotic domain with relentless cosmic fury.

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!

"H-HUUUUH?!?"

Jester could no longer maintain even a trace of his playful demeanor. He screamed in pure disbelief as Elayne emerged unscathed from the remnants of his spell. She charged forward with her giant sword raised high, her aura blazing like a massive golden lion. Behind her, a colossal being began to manifest—composed of thousands of miniature twinkling stars.

It was the physical embodiment of a tremendously dangerous Wild Magic capable of calling forth the wrath of a Constellation itself...

And the one she had summoned wasn’t just Leo.

She had managed to call forth two Constellations at the same time.
