The Return of the Disaster-Class Hero

Chapter 120: Really? Is It Him? (3)



Chapter 120: Really? Is It Him? (3)

At that moment, Chun Yooha received an SOS text from her brother that surprised her.

[Nooooona!!! Emergency!]

[Uncle’s chastity is in dangeeeeeeeer]

The first SOS was about the Scorpio Saint’s appearance. However, that was secondary to the incomprehensible texts that came afterward.

‘Uncle is in danger?’ Moreover, Uncle’s what was in danger?

Grim, Chun Yooha replied to her brother. She wanted clarification, but he was unresponsive. This worried her. She wondered if something had happened to him.

‘I already received something strange today!’

Chun Yooha’s fine forehead furrowed a bit as she took something out of her pocket. It was the coin with a snake engraved on it, which had suddenly fallen in front of her.

‘By the look of its design, it’s an item belonging to Uncle.’

Yooha had tried injecting her magical energy into it. She had tried all kinds of other things as well, but the coin had yet to show a reaction.

In the end, she headed toward the Leo temple as she waited for a reply. She was going there to leave the temple.

‘My contract is about to end anyway.’

Of course, there were going to be a lot of objections to her leaving the temple. This included Stevens, who had brought her into the Leo temple. The objections from the temple’s officers were a given.

However, this didn’t bother her much. She had a plan that would allow her to exit the temple.

‘I have to take out all the items I placed in the temple’s care.’

To do that, she was headed toward the storage and distribution center. As she waited for her train, she looked at her phone. Soon, her eyes turned round. The reason was the breaking news.

<Breaking news! The Archer Saint sheds the false accusation from ten years ago.>

<The true criminals whose actions led to 5,000 people becoming vegetables involved the children of a major firm.>

<The real criminals were the two high schoolers who were witnesses at the time?>

<The two brothers are the real criminals. It’s revealed that they are the children of the Libra Saint.>

<How much did the Libra Saint tamper for the sake of her children?>

Chun Yooha couldn’t believe her eyes. “This is…”

* * *

At that moment…

“Huhk… Huhk!”

A rich district in Hawaii!

“Shit! This is crazy!”

Yoon Taewoo was running away because a monster had suddenly appeared in front of him. He didn’t even get to put on his shoes as he ran out, unable to comprehend what was going on.

‘Shit! Why did he show up after Chun Sungjae?’

The older of the two Yoon siblings had lost to Chun Sungjae when the latter had unexpectedly awakened in the hospital.

Of course, until a couple of minutes ago, Yoon Taewoo had been receiving treatment from Constructs. These Constructs were the servants of the mansion. They were the daughters of Asclepius, the god of medicine.

Moreover, these SS-rank Constructs were goddesses of health and recovery. Amongst the Constructs that dealt with medical treatment, these were in contention of being the higher rank ones. Their abilities were considerable.

‘Mother did well in taking them from the Aquarius Saint.’

Of course, these Constructs’ abilities didn’t deal with regeneration, and the rate of recovery was slow. It wasn’t as if the vision Yoon Taewoo had lost in one eye would come back. However, this didn’t matter.

‘Chun Sungjae! That arrogant bastard.’

As soon as he recovered from his injuries, Yoon Taewoo had planned on taking his revenge on Chun Sungjae.

‘He’s only a kid who just awakened to the general rank. How dare he do that!’ Chun Sungjae was only a kid, yet he pushed himself forward as a genius.

Yoon Taewoo hated this. He had lost only because he underestimated his opponent. However, it would be different this time.

‘I’ll make you the same as me.’

In fact, he would make Chun Sungjae beg for death. Yoon Taewoo had planned on gouging out Chun Sungjae’s eye. He was going to sever that kid’s arms and legs to make him a cripple. He was going to make him beg for forgiveness.

So what the hell had happened?

[Huh, huh-uhk— Young Master!]

The servants protecting the mansion screamed as the door blew apart.

“Are you Yoon Taewoo?”

That bastard had shown up.

When the door got blown off, Lee Gun appeared, swinging his ax instead of sending a greeting.

Kwahng!!!

The mansion was instantly destroyed. Yoon Taewoo had been on the third floor, while Lee Gun’s single strike reached the basement!

This was the current situation that Yoon Taewoo had found himself in.

“Young Master!”

Yoon Taewoo had been thrown into the swimming pool in the basement. He swallowed water as he waded through the pool.

Lee Gun laughed in contempt. “As if hiding wasn’t enough, you were basically on a vacation.”

He lifted his ax with a chilling smile.

Kwah-gwa-gwahng!

“Kuh-huhk!!”

As a green light flashed, the swimming pool was destroyed from one end to the other.

“Ahhhk!”

Yoon Taewoo had to run away on bare feet. “Huh-uhk! That crazy bastard!!”

The older Yoon sibling looked like a drowning rat as he quickly got out of the swimming pool.

Not even five minutes had passed since everything had unfolded! He was having a hard time understanding what was going on. “Shit! Why the hell is he here?”

This place was one of the Libra Saint’s secret bases. It was a secret vacation home that no civilians could enter; it was also a holy ground. Here, the Libra Saint’s Constructs made weapons or manufactured tributes.

Even the officers of the Libra Saint couldn’t enter this place. The only ones allowed in were the Constructs under the Libra Saint and her direct descendants, who were spread out across the world. However, even they had to use a special skill to enter these locations.

As for this particular four-story mansion, it was accessible only to Yoon Taewoo and his young brother. The fact that Lee Gun had attacked this place meant only one thing!

“Shit! Siwoo! That moron!”

Yoon Taewoo was sure of it. That bastard Lee Gun had come here using his brother.

Sure enough, Lee Gun shouted at Yoon Taewoo, who ran toward the forest, “You should just get caught without putting on a resistance, like your little brother. You have no chance of getting out of this, even if you run away.”

Yoon Taewoo ground his teeth as he hid amongst the trees. ‘That moron really got caught!’

He had told his younger brother to grill Lee Gun and bring back proof. He had ordered his younger brother to strike from the back.

Now, things had become very complicated for him. His opponent was none other than Lee Gun.

‘If Mother finds out he’s here, she’ll flip out.’

Yoon Taewoo was well-informed about Lee Gun. Lee Gun was a man his mother hated to the core. That was why Lee Gun had been disposed of within the Devil’s Tower. However, that person had just appeared in front of him. However, it didn’t matter in the end.

[Equivalent Exchange]

Yoon Siwoo activated the Libra Saint’s skill. He heard a voice coming from his pocket.

[The price needs to be paid.]

Yoon Siwoo took something out of his pocket.

[Genius Worship’s Bag]

It was a holy item made by the genius master craftsmen of the world. This item looked like a leather pencil case. When Yoon Taewoo injected his magical energy into it, something popped out.

Flash!

It was bones.

[The price has been met.]

That wasn’t all. Yoon Taewoo proceeded to take out a red gem that looked similar to the one his little brother had brought out.

‘It’s too bad that I have to use this here!’

This red gem was the crystallized corpse of a monster Lee Gun had killed within the Devil’s tower.

Yoon Taewoo offered the items.

[You have paid the price.]

A yellow light spread across the forest.

Flash!

In a flash, the light covered the entire forest.

Koo-goo-goo-goohng!

Accompanying the sound of the ground exploding, the earth surged upward.

Kwahng!

Beasts pushed through the surface and revealed themselves.

[Go-oh-oh-oh!]

These beasts were monsters shaped like alligators. Each of them was the size of a building. Moreover, there were several hundred of them.

Yoon Taewoo immediately ran toward the beach. It seemed he already knew the monsters wouldn’t stand a chance against Lee Gun.

‘They’ll buy me some time.’

According to his mother, Lee Gun didn’t have an AOE skill.

‘It’s my win if they last thirty seconds.’

There was a teleport facility near the ocean.

As Yoon Taewoo had that thought, he ran toward the forest’s end.

For some reason, people said Lee Gun was the thirteenth Zodiac Saint, but Yoon Taewoo found it ridiculous.

“Thirteenth Zodiac Saint? Hmmph! His Zodiac still hasn’t shown up. It’s either a trash Zodiac or Lee Gun is a fake Zodiac Saint who doesn’t have a Zodiac!”

At that moment…

Boom!

Lee Gun turned his shoulder as he held Heaven’s Punishment. It looked as if he were stretching. He warmed up his shoulder.

[Your skill is ready.]

The corners of Lee Gun’s mouth lifted when he heard the voice.

[The trial’s reward has been released.]

[Serpent Bearer’s Unique Awakened Skill (SSS)]

Lee Gun took a big swing with Heaven’s Punishment. Accompanied by an incredible green light, Heaven’s Punishment roared.

Kwah-gwah-gwah-gwahng!

“Ahhhhhhhk!”

The sound of an explosion rang out, and the wind pressure sent Yoon Taewoo flying.

“Kuh-huhk!”

Even a robust adult male like him flew toward the shoreline like a piece of paper. Yoon Taewoo felt like a shrimp being swept up by a rough wave.

Yoon Taewoo didn’t know what was going on. He threw up blood; he could barely flip his body over.

Looking at the sky, he cursed, “Shit! Why does that bastard have to be so annoying?”

However, when he stood up, he froze.

“What the hell?” Yoon Taewoo’s face turned pale as he saw the forest. It was to be expected. “Where… Where’s the forest!”

Yes, the broad stretch of forest that he had been in a moment ago had disappeared.

In its place was a circle, the trees within the circle having been evaporated. The same was with several hundred alligators.

The strength left Yoon Taewoo’s legs. “What the hell? Lee Gun never had this skill before!”

It was an AOE skill.

At that moment, Lee Gun leisurely approached Yoon Taewoo. A very satisfied smile hung on his lips. “This skill isn’t too bad.”

Yes, the skill he had just used wasn’t a divine skill. It wasn’t something he could continuously use by acquiring data. It was a bit different. Divine skills could be lent out to disciples and Constructs.

However, the skill he had used was like the Creation Workshop skill and Death Instinct skill. It was a unique skill that only Lee Gun could use.

This was basically like the power and ability of a god.

“I really wanted to test out the new ability I had gained. Thank you?”

“…?!”

Lee Gun placed the ax on his shoulder as he approached Yoon Taewoo. His eyes shone like that of a snake.

Yoon Taewoo unconsciously fell on his butt. “Ah—”

Frightened, he raised his hands as if he was acknowledging something. “I’m sorry!”

“!”

“I’ll announce it to the world. I’ll tell them we did it! You’re trying to exonerate your friend, right?”

“Oh!”

“I will confess, and I will let the law judge me!”

“Is that so? You’ll confess on your own?”

Yoon Taewoo laughed at Lee Gun’s reaction. He did it. Then, he got on his knees and planted his head on the ground. “I’m sorry! I’ll confess right now! I‘m even willing to go to prison!”

Lee Gun nodded. “Yes. A prison sentence doesn’t sound too bad.”

Yoon Taewoo was relieved to see this. At the same time, he smirked as he kept his head down. ‘Even if I confess, I’ll be given a suspended sentence.’

There was a reason he had easily dodged responsibility for the incident ten years ago.

Of course, this time, things had ballooned to a point where he was in the spotlight. Therefore, he would have to go to jail.

‘However, I’ll be able to come out quickly once things calm down.’

The Libra Saint wasn’t called the number one ranked Saint without reason. Moreover, the two brothers had enough support that they didn’t need to borrow their mother’s power. They merely had to get their revenge after they would come out of prison.

‘I’ll recover my power in prison, then I’ll kill them all.’

This was why Yoon Taewoo had lowered his head. “If you allow it, I will go meet Hugo Otis-nim, his wife, and children. I’ll seek their forgiveness first!”

“Sure! I’m sure Taeksoo and his family would be satisfied with that. They are kind people.”

“Then…”

“That’s what they would do.”

“…!” Yoon Taewoo trembled when the voice hit his ears. He was surprised by the cold feeling, so he raised his head.

“!!”

Yoon Taewoo turned pale from fright.

Lee Gun possessed the terrifying snake eyes, and he was holding up Heaven’s Punishment. “I’m a piece of trash, so I won’t be satisfied with that.”

“Wait a moment—”

The divine judgment fell.

* * *

The Libra Saint’s Holy Ground!

“This is not good, Saint-nim. Articles about your sons are…”

Giselle stole glances at her disciples. It was to be expected. The information about what had happened ten years ago was spreading around the world. Moreover, the media was doing this at an extraordinary speed

“I’m sure of it! The Virgo Saint is lending a hand. The Virgo Saint has a strong hold over the mass media.”

The sound of something breaking rang out.

Giselle destroyed the tablet PC, her eyes flashing in contempt. “Lee Gun! You’re going through a lot to clear your friend’s name.”

Giselle had gotten furious when she read the breaking news that implicated even her. However, that didn’t bother her too much.

“This isn’t enough to shake our temple. What about Taewoo and Siwoo?”

When she spoke, the disciple acted oddly as he monitored her. “We still haven’t been able to contact the two of them…”

“You can’t contact them?”

At that moment…

[Saint-nim. We have received an item.]

“Item?”

Looking awkward, the Construct approached Giselle.

[I think it would be best if you check the item yourself!]

Giselle quickly got up. The Construct bowed low as it placed the item in front of her. The Construct’s face was pale as if it couldn’t bear to see her face.

Finally, Giselle desperately opened the item. Then, her face distorted in anger.

“Lee Gun!!!”

Her scream shook the holy ground.
