Chapter 135: Mutant Zodiac Saint (2)

Chapter 135 - Mutant Zodiac Saint (2)

The Taurus Saint was shocked by Lee Gun’s nonchalant words. However, this shock wasn’t limited to just him.

“That's…”

Hugo, who had been raging about his holy ground turning into a demon king’s palace, and the Virgo Saint Kevin froze as well.

Seeing Red Eye for the first time in their lives, the youngest Archer disciples looked like they wanted to pee their pants.

Even though the visible portion was just a part of the monster’s body, there was no mistaking that.

The monster had red claws much bigger than a person. Then there was its body, which was black as if that body held magma!

“Red Eye!”

Kevin looked unusually shocked. Hugo was foaming at the mouth.

Lee Gun wasn’t one to leave behind Red Eye alive and come here. Therefore, they had assumed Lee Gun had killed the monster or captured it.

So what was this? Pet? Household pet?

“You crazy bastard! Have you really lost your ever-loving mind?” Hugo was so far gone that he didn’t refer to Lee Gun as a friend.

Kevin looked at Lee Gun as if he wanted to ask how the man had caught this monster.

However, that information wasn’t important to Hugo. The Archer Saint could already imagine what his friend planned to do with the monster.

“Gun! You bastard! I bet you’re planning on raising it in my holy ground! Have you lost your mind?”

Lee Gun smirked at Hugo’s rebuke. “What? Don't you think it’ll do well guarding our home? I think it’ll do well as a guard dog.”

This baffled Hugo. “You caught Red Eye for it to guard our house?”

Hugo didn’t get the chance to chastise Lee Gun any further. A small crack had appeared in the air.

The monstrous hand once again came out of the crack and struck the ground.

[Kee-ehhhhhhk!!!]

Kwahng!!!

“Ahhhk!!”

The ground shook. The claws larger than a human scratched the ground. The building-sized hand went crazy as it tried to catch and eat the Taurus Saint.

Watching this was like watching someone play whack a mole.

Boom! Boom!

The Taurus Saint barely dodged the hand, but his opponent was a 170-meter-tall monster. Dodging it wasn’t easy.

Fortunately, Red Eye was blindly moving its hand. It was going by feel. If that weren’t the case, the claws would’ve ripped the Taurus Saint into pieces.

Boom!

Red Eye wondered why it couldn’t catch the Taurus Saint. It retracted its thick hand through the hole.

Boom!

Then, the starving monster pushed its face through the small crack.

[Kee-ehhhhhhhk!]

The heart-rending sound rang throughout the heavens. The monster opened its fierce mouth. However…

“Fuck! Shut your mouth!” Lee Gun kicked Red Eye’s face. “Your breath stinks, you lizard bastard!”

Kwah-jeek!

Red Eye wailed. The being considered humanity’s most-threatening calamity was whining. Nobody could shut their mouth.

At this point, they wondered if Lee Gun was the calamity instead of Red Eye.

Of course, Lee had killed this monster again and again within the Devil’s Tower. Him seeing the monster as a cute dog was understandable.

“How did Lee Gun tame that thing? There is no way a monster would become loyal to a human.”

Kevin’s flustered words only served to enrage Hugo.

“Does that look like it’s tamed? He just beat it with his fists!”

It didn’t matter in the end. The important thing was that Lee Gun had caught that monster.

After feeling the fear of death, the Taurus Saint glared at Lee Gun.

Lee Gun had said he was going to use Red Eye as a guard dog, but there was no way he would use a monster of that caliber to guard his home.

“Are you going to use it as a threat?” the Taurus Saint asked.

“!”

Lee Gun and the two Zodiac Saints looked at him. The Taurus Saint shook and ground his teeth, acting like he had discerned Lee Gun’s plan. “You caught it so that you can blackmail us with it, right?”

“Blackmail?”

“That’s right! Why else would you tame Red Eye? You probably will let it destroy cities if we don’t listen to you!”

The Taurus Saint was sure of this. Lee Gun would do it to increase the number of disciples under him and strengthen his temple’s power.

‘Red Eye has enough power to facilitate that.’

Just the sight of Red Eye would frighten people, so they’d probably move under Lee Gun. Humanity had already seen this monster’s power twenty years ago.

They had been unable to capture it, but for Lee Gun, the story was different. He was basically holding a large nuclear weapon in his hands.

Therefore, the Taurus shivered as if he understood everything. “Yes. You plan on using Red Eye to blackmail other countries and their people! You plan on growing your temple!!”

“What the hell are you talking about, idiot?” Dumbfounded at the Taurus Saint’s words, Lee Gun mockingly laughed.

The surprised Taurus Saint looked up at Lee Gun. Lee Gun had a harsh look in his eyes as if he wasn’t looking at a human. It seemed as if he were looking down at an insect.

“Is that all you guys can think about?”

“!”

Lee Gun’s serious voice was tinged with disgust. “You guys haven’t changed from the old days. You only care about peddling the lives of humans. Bastards!”

“…!”

Lee Gun's glare implied his hatred for the twelve Zodiac Saints. “Well, I wouldn’t have awakened if it weren’t for you guys.”

The Taurus Saint and Kevin looked confused. The Virgo Saint whispered to Hugo, “What does Lee Gun mean by that? How did they cause him to awaken?”

Hugo just shook his head from side to side. “I don’t know either.”

“What? You’ve known him the longest.”

“I’ve never met Gun before he awakened,” Hugo replied.

When the Archer Saint had met Lee Gun, the latter was already an awakened being. Lee Gun’s face had basically been ruined at that point.

At that time, Lee Gun had rescued Hugo, who had almost died at the hands of a monster.

That was why there was a veil of secrecy around Lee Gun’s awakening. Of course, only twelve awakened beings were supposed to exist, so the emergence of the thirteenth awakened being had left the world puzzled.

People were so curious about this that it was almost one of the three great mysteries of the world. Hugo also had been curious at the time. He asked which Zodiac had chosen Lee Gun and how Lee Gun had awakened.

However, Lee Gun didn’t have much to say. He hadn’t said anything about it until the end. The only piece of information he had was the fact that his friend had a roommate.

‘It doesn’t seem like a Zodiac chose him.’

All Zodiac Saints were chosen by Zodiacs as contractors. Of course, the story and the reason for the choice differed for each person.

However, it didn’t matter in the end.

Back to the present…

The Taurus Saint looked shocked by Lee Gun’s words and his claim that they had caused his awakening.

‘He doesn’t plan on using Red Eye in that way?’

Lee Gun viciously laughed. “Why would I go through with something so complicated? I know of a surer and simpler way to do it.”

“!”

Nodding, Lee Gun said, “Hey, snakey. Stick your head out.”

[!]

The monster, which had been extending its hand through the gap in a threatening manner, pulled its hand back, then brought its head out of the gap.

Everyone looked on in surprise, unaware of what Lee Gun planned to do.

Bbah-gahk!

Lee Gun grabbed the Taurus Saint by the throat and tossed him into the air.

“?!”

The Taurus Saint flew high into the sky. As if it had been waiting for this moment, Red Eye opened its mouth like an alligator, like a baby bird waiting for its food.

A hundred meters!

Fifty meters!

Ten!

The Taurus Saint screamed as he fell. “Ahhhhhhk!”

Red Eye looked like it was enjoying itself; it kept its mouth open.

The Taurus Saint quickly activated his skill and swung his fist. However, that attack was like a breeze to the monster.

“Shit!” In the end, the Taurus Saint’s struggles proved useless as he fell into Red Eye’s mouth.

The mouth snapped shut the next instant!

Kwah-jeek!

Everyone looked alarmed. Since the Taurus Saint was a Zodiac Saint, he didn’t die immediately.

“Koo-ooh-oohk!”

The firmly shut mouth started to open bit by bit.

“!”

The Taurus Saint was pushing open Red Eye’s mouth. He was struggling as he pushed against the roof of the monster’s mouth.

“Koo-oo-oo-oohk!”

The Taurus Saint’s muscular arms shook. His arm strength clashed against the monster’s jaw strength.

Unable to eat its prey, Red Eye violently writhed.

[Kee-ehhhhhhhk!!]

Hearing the roar, the Taurus Saint raged, and his eyes bulged. “You damn beast! Do you think I… I will let you eat me!!”

At that moment.

“What are you doing? Hurry up and eat him.”

When the man spoke, the Red Eye immediately snapped its mouth shut. Lee Gun had come flying to Red Eye and stomped on its snout with his foot.

Khwa-jeek!

Accompanying a scream, the sounds of teeth clashing against each other rang out.

Crunch! Crunch!

“Ahhhk!”

The scene shocked the Taurus Saint’s Constructs.

[You deserve to be struck down by the heavens!]

Ignoring the words, Lee Gun looked at the Constructs. “This kid is still hungry. I’m sure it’ll enjoy having more treats to eat.”

[!]

His snake eyes flashed.

The Taurus Saint’s Constructs screamed as they retreated. This was to be expected. In the past, Red Eye was considered the unknown civilization’s leader. Even the Constructs would have a hard time fighting it.

[We have to notify our master!]

[The Calamity has finally arrived!]

When the Taurus Saint’s Constructs ran away, Lee Gun clicked his tongue. “What the hell? Why are they running away?”

Hugo was baffled. Did this guy really not know why they were running away?

Clicking his tongue, the Archer Saint looked at his surroundings. He caught sight of the Virgo Saint’s Constructs, whom Kevin had called forth earlier.

Unlike the rough-looking Constructs of the Taurus Saint, Kevin’s Constructs were goddesses that looked like elves.

When several hundred of them couldn’t look away from Lee Gun, Hugo said, “Hey, even they are aghast at your—”

At that moment, they gathered near him and took a knee.

“?!”

They did it toward Lee Gun. This sight surprised Hugo.

The beautiful Constructs were observing courtesy toward Lee Gun, but that wasn’t the important part.

‘The Constructs are taking one knee?’

Of course, they weren’t pleading their loyalty. They were clearly showing respect toward Lee Gun.

Unable to watch this any longer, Hugo turned toward Kevin. “What the hell? Is your Zodiac a fangirl of Lee Gun?”

Kevin clicked his tongue as if answering that question was beneath him. Of course, he had an idea about why his Constructs were paying respect to Lee Gun. What was it?

‘He won’t be able to attack the Libra in a Demigod state.’

It was because Giselle was a Zodiac. A human’s attack didn’t work against a Zodiac; yet, Lee Gun’s attacks had worked against the Libra. What did that imply?

Kevin gulped as he looked at his Constructs, who were bowing to Lee Gun.

‘That is a sign of respect shown to a Zodiac.’

Of course, Kevin had no idea if the bow was directed toward Lee Gun or the Zodiac that might be possessing Lee Gun.

‘I think….’

Kevin furrowed his brows when he realized something.

At that moment, Lee Gun laughed as he looked at the shining horn he had acquired from the Taurus Saint. He also had the Leo Saint’s arm, which he had extracted from Red Eye’s stomach.

“Good! I can make two weapons with this.”

“What is that arm?”

“Of course, it’s the cat’s arm. I took it out of Red Eye’s stomach.”

The words appalled Hugo. Hugo had learned through a news article that the Leo Saint was still alive, and Lee Gun had taken the Leo Saint’s arm out from the Red Eye’s stomach. The Archer Saint had also received a text from his son bragging about what Lee Gun had done.

“What the hell? You planned on making a weapon with that?”

“Why did you think I took it out?”

“I thought you would use your regeneration ability to reattach the arm…”

Lee Gun blanched. “Are you out of your mind? Why would I do something so wasteful?”

After acquiring the body parts of two battle-type Zodiac Saints, Lee Gun let out a nefarious laugh. As expected of those who had received blessings from Zodiacs! Their severed body parts weren’t deteriorating.

Moreover, the bull horn was taken during the Taurus Saint’s Demigod state, so it was emanating the power of a Zodiac.

Lee Gun had never gotten a chance to make equipment with a Zodiac Saint’s body part before. “I’m looking forward to seeing what rank equipment will come out.”

Hugo was about to show his disgust when…

“!”

Lee Gun suddenly clutched at his stomach as if he was having a stomach ache.

[The consumed power of a god will be remade.]
