Chapter 178: Damned Zodiac (1)

Chapter 178 - Damned Zodiac (1)

The enormous canine was several meters long.

Lee Gun carried it on his shoulder. The canine was as big as a mammoth’s tusk, enough to crush Lee Gun. However, he was nonchalantly balancing it with just one hand. This sight shocked the Zodiacs.

Although the canine looked like an incredibly well-polished ivory, it was clearly a tooth! That made one wonder if Stevens had brushed its teeth very well.

Of course, the Zodiacs at the scene knew to whom the tooth belonged. The commotion that erupted among them proved this.

[The scent of a beast lingers, shocking the Zodiacs.]

[The Zodiacs ask why is that here.]

[They are taken aback. They ask who dared extract its tooth.]

Kevin had chased away his Zodiac and returned to his original self. He was shocked too.

The Cancer had descended in person. Kevin knew he would suffer more damage, but he decided it would be best if his Zodiac descended in person, too. So, he was going to use Direct descent instead of Possession descent.

“What the hell! I can feel the power of a Zodiac from it. It isn’t a monster’s tooth.”

“Of course, you feel it since it’s the tooth of the Leo.”

Kevin almost screamed at Hugo’s response. “That’s crazy?! Are you saying he pulled out a Zodiac’s tooth?”

Kevin wondered how Lee Gun had been able to directly touch the body of a god.

Hugo clicked his tongue. “He took Stevens’s arm because he wanted to use it as an ingredient. Naturally, he’s capable of taking the Zodiac’s tooth.”

“?!”

Lee Gun being able to extract the tooth was fascinating, but the even more astonishing thing was that he planned on using a god’s body part as an ingredient.

Hugo hadn’t seen it for himself, but he could imagine what kind of expression his friend had when extracting the tooth.

‘He probably pulled out even the cheekbone.’

The Zodiac was probably furious for having its absolutely healthy tooth pulled out.

[The Leo asks what you will do with its tooth.]

[The Leo demands its tooth be returned.]

[It is exasperated. It asks if you are aware of how long would regrowing the tooth take?]

[It is angry that it can’t chew meat yet.]

[It also says its fur won’t grow back where the hide was peeled from its back.]

[It says that if the tooth isn’t returned, it’ll raze this place to the ground.]

The Leo was in the divine world, monitoring Lee Gun. It ground its teeth.

Lee Gun completely ignored the Leo. “If you can’t chew on meat, you can get an implant.”

These bastards had a lot of money.

Lee Gun then threw the enormous canine into the sky, yelling, “Slime.”

The slime, which had turned into Lee Gun’s nail clipper, emitted a light as if it was responding to his call. Then something surprising happened.

Elongating itself like clay, the slime wrapped itself around the canine. It extended its body once again to merge with Heaven’s Punishment, which was in Lee Gun’s hand.

“!”

The slime used its body to replace the broken parts of the ax.

[Clump of Creation Clay taps on Heaven’s Punishment to awaken it.]

[Heaven’s Punishment is not answering.]

[No presence can be felt from Heaven’s Punishment.]

Lee Gun furrowed his brows. He treasured his creations; they were like his children. Naturally, he didn’t feel good when he heard that notification.

Heaven’s Punishment was his partner. It had been with him since he was an inexperienced awakened being. He had made this weapon in the early days, and it had always supplemented his shortcomings in battles.

As its owner, he was the first to know that Heaven’s Punishment had met its end when it was destroyed.

‘I'll be sure to avenge you.’

The Zodiacs had looked down on the weapon because it was made out of mortal ingredients.

Lee Gun’s eyes flashed. The simple weapon that was wrapped up alongside the canine started letting out a black light.

This spectacle took the Cancer aback. Its reaction was understandable since the Leo was an offensive Zodiac that had one of the highest attack abilities amongst the Zodiacs.

If one had to make a comparison, the Leo was like the strongest of spears. Of course, no one had tried to use an offensive Zodiac’s body part as an ingredient. No one had even thought about it.

Now, this weapon would be on a different level compared to a weapon created through mortal ingredients. That would be true even if it looked like some stone tool!

Boom!

Lee Gun picked up the weapon affixed with the canine. His actions made the startled Cancer take a step back.

Right now, Lee Gun looked different from the time when he held his ax. At this moment, he looked like the reaper holding a scythe.

No one had time to get surprised at this sight as Lee Gun instantly disappeared. Although he had used the slime to connect the items crudely, that wouldn’t hinder him in his attacks.

[It is infused with the power of the Leo.]

[Obsession] [Sadism] [Intimidation] [Penetration ability that can end life] [Bleeding] [Mutilate] [Bloodsucking] [Triumphant] [Hypersensitivity] [Majestic] [Hissing]

[Each attribute is assigned a different skill.]

[You feel a vast power.]

[The ability that remains within the debris of Heaven’s Punishment is being drawn up.]

Arriving in front of the Cancer, Lee Gun jumped high in the air. He used the Cancer’s crustacean legs to jump and jump again! Before he knew it, Lee Gun was atop the Cancer’s head.

The Cancer’s Constructs tried to get in Lee Gun’s way, but that was useless.

[Koo-ahhhhhk!]

[Ahhhk!]

When the Constructs tried to get close to Lee Gun’s black light, they turned into ashes.

[A portion of the Death’s power awakened.]

The black light destroyed the Constructs. The light touched their arms, legs, and heads. Any body part that the light touched ceased to exist. As a result, the Constructs that had flown into the air plummeted toward the ground in fright.

Lee Gun then picked up the stone tool that looked like a scythe.

The Star of Darkness was taken aback, but it soon let out a mocking laugh. It had never seen anyone do that with a Zodiac’s body part.

[You are a mere rookie. Do you think you will be able to do something because you pulled out the cat’s tooth?]

Lee Gun’s weapon came crashing down on the Cancer’s body.

Kwang!

Incredible lights clashed against each other.

The Zodiacs were tense within this light. However, they weren’t too worried.

[They say the Cancer’s body is on the sturdy side.]

[They all roll their eyes. They say that item isn’t even a weapon. There is no way he could wound the Zodiac.]

Koo-goo-goohng!

As a large explosion took place, Hugo and Kevin heard a groan. They felt like they would be swept away by the fierce winds that accompanied the light.

‘Gun. That bastard.’

Was it because he had leveled up through the living corpse of a monarch? It was an incredible amount of power. It was a power that made humans— No, it was a power that made even the numerous Constructs feel fear.

The owners of the Temples possessed countless stars of glories(Constructs). The Zodiacs were gods that had earned the qualification to own temples amongst the countless gods. They were beings that could rally and must the stars like a galaxy.

They had been chosen to become the owners of the temples, so their powers were on a different level compared to the other gods.

The next second, the power of the owners clashed against each other.

Kwahng!

Light erupted, and the sea surrounding the holy ground rolled violently. It was as if the impact would split the sky.

When the light dissipated, the Zodiacs frantically moved in their lighting form.

[The Zodiacs quickly check the status of the Star of Darkness.]

[There is no way it would fall without getting wounded when hit with a power of that magnitude. They are shaking.]

Then…

[What wound?]

With the cloud of dust disappearing, the Cancer laughed. Lee Gun had brought his weapon down on its body, but the canine couldn’t break the crab’s carapace that was like armor.

The Zodiacs relaxed when the surface had only a scratch.

[It was to be expected of a rookie.]

[There is no need to be scared.]

The Zodiacs laughed.

The Cancer tried to extend its arm, but…

Zuh-uh-uhk!

“!?”

The Cancer’s hard body split open. This started from the location where Lee Gun had brought down his weapon.

At the same time, a scream rang out.

[A crack has appeared on the Star of Darkness.]

[You were successful in breaking open the Star of Darkness’s shell.]

This development caused a commotion amongst the Zodiacs.

[The Zodiacs are abuzz. The cat’s tooth really worked against the crab.]

[It was unexpected and shocking. They expected the cat’s tooth to break.]

[The Leo became angry when they completely disrespected its tooth.]

The ground suddenly shook.

Boom!

It was the Cancer.

“!”

Surprised, Hugo and Kevin looked at the Cancer. They didn’t expect it to have any power remaining. They had trusted Lee Gun up to this point, but in the end, they had no choice. Both of them took a knee. They were preparing the ritual.

“I call forth the Sagittarius!”

“Shit! One won’t be enough…!”

For some reason, two of the Zodiacs monitoring the Cancer became frightened for some reason.

Lee Gun laughed as if something interesting happened.

‘I knew it was a possibility.’

Yes, when he had cracked open the hard shell, that had revealed the content within, and it was problematic.

The Zodiacs flinched at that sight.

[The Zodiacs are abuzz.]

[The Zodiacs are cursing. They express their dismay.]

They could see the souls of gods within the broken shell. They were all the gods that the Cancer had eaten up to this point. However, something was more shocking. It was the identity of the Cancer, who had eaten all the souls.

“As expected, half of you belong to the other side.” Lee Gun was sure of it since he had seen a monarch before.

‘Unknown civilization.’

The Cancer was half Zodiac and half monster. Whether the Cancer had fallen or if it was mixed from the start was unclear.

The Zodiacs, who had appeared as avatars, were in turmoil when they heard Lee Gun’s words. Them panicking was inevitable.

Lee Gun just laughed.

‘There was a reason the Libra was able to easily make a connection with the unknown civilization.’

Jean-Louis had dropped Lee Gun into the trap for a reason.

Moreover, the ability to eat the power of a Zodiac resembled the abilities of the unknown civilization.

‘It seems some of the Zodiacs knew about it.’

A couple of the Zodiacs in their avatar forms just quietly glared at Lee Gun. However, that wasn’t important right now.

“I’ll end you, you scum.”

At those words, the eyes of the disheveled Cancer flashed.

[The Star of Darkness states it will never happen again.]

[There is no way it will fall for the same attack. It laughs.]

[The Star of Darkness strengthens its body.]

This made Lee Gun smirk.

“Whose holy ground do you think this is?”

[!]

His eyes flashed.

[Creation Workshop]

Something surprising happened.

Koo-goo-goo-goohng!

“!”

The Leo’s canine flashed with green light.

[The flame from the 2nd holy ground(workshop) is being drawn up.]

[The divine power is chipping away at the divine body part.]

[It has been imbued with the Serpent Bearer’s special attribute.]

[Fatal Blow] [Sharpness]

Kwah-jee-jeek!

The process was rough, so Lee Gun couldn’t use it on a normal ingredient.

The weapon was being made in real-time! Accompanying green lightning bolts, the edge of the canine was getting ground down.

Kwah-gwa-gwahng!

When each lightning bolt dissipated, a sharp edge started to take form! The canine kept getting polished until it was sharp enough to slice through a soul.

The Cancer instinctively felt death from this sight.

[The Star of Darkness requests a trade with the monster bull.]

[With the strongest shield, it would be able to block the cat’s tooth and the power of the god of calamity.]

An avatar flinched at the request. This avatar was shaped like a brown turtle. It was the Taurus. For a moment, the turtle mulled over the Cancer’s request for a trade. It was about to let out its power, but…

“You’re too late.” Lee Gun swung the scythe-shaped tooth as if he would punish all the Zodiacs. “The one who put hair loss and impo— Fuck. The one who put those curses on me is really dead.”

Finally, the power of death clashed against the Cancer.

Kwahng!

An enormous explosion erupted. At that moment, a star became extinct.

It was death.
