Chapter 59: Return of a Legend (1)

It seemed as if he could hear a scream. The god was in pain, the reason being the item Lee Gun had activated.

[The Two-faced god has received damage from the dreadful dark energy.]

Heiji, the Fairy Monarch, and the Chun siblings were all surprised. The Fairy Monarch was especially taken aback as it looked at Lee Gun.

“That item…”

Heiji’s gaze headed toward the item in Lee Gun’s hand.

Lee Gun laughed. In his hands was the core holding the soul of a god!

[Crab’s Core (Saint’s Soul level 33%, God’s Soul level 20%)]

Yes, this was the loot he had acquired during the press conference after taking care of the Crab Saint. ‘It also contains the soul of a god.’

The energy of the two gods clashed. In the end, the Gemini god tried to leave the unexpected situation. This was to be expected. The Gemini hated sharing a space with another god. All the gods participated in fierce territorial disputes. Moreover, Cancer was the Dark Star, and every god avoided the Dark Star.

The Crab’s core made a loud noise as if it was going into overdrive.

[The Two-faced god is surprised. It is momentarily trying to leave this place.]

However, Lee Gun wasn’t someone who would let a god leave so easily.

[Death Instinct]

Light erupted from him. Then, he punched the lightning, which was trying to bounce.

Boom!

[You have directly damaged the Two-faced god.]

[You have acquired EXP]

The clash led to an incredible backlash that sent all the items within the house flying. All the glasses were broken.

Crash! Crash!

It suffered only a scratch, yet the god felt humiliated for being injured by a mere human.

Boom!!

[The Two-faced god is trying to descend with its army]

This power was on a different level compared to before. It pressed down on the house.

Pah-jee-jeek! Pah-jee-jeek!

Cracks appeared on the ceiling and walls. The enraged Gemini tried to send its familiars down on Lee Gun. However…

Boom!

The Gemini God’s power greatly faltered. This was not unexpected.

[The other gods are on guard. They have blocked the Gemini’s move.]

[They object to the rule being broken.]

[To protect their holy grounds, they are driving out the Two-faced god’s power.]

[The Two-faced god cannot cross over.]

The energy of the Gemini god twitched. It jiggled as if it was glaring at Lee Gun. Then it went away as though it had no choice.

The sky cleared, looking like it had never been dark.

[The Two-faced god’s power is gone.]

[Your Saint EXP has increased by a massive amount.]

This had all happened in an instant. Everyone, who had felt fear at that moment, sank to the ground.

‘Crazy bastard.’ Heiji also trembled. She could surmise what Lee Gun had planned to do. ‘I’m sure of it. He was trying to kill a god!’

That was right. The severing of the connection between the Gemini god and the Gemini Saint was collateral damage. Lee Gun had done all of this to test something else. He had wanted to check how well his power worked against a god, whether killing a god was possible or not!

This was the reason Heiji shook. ‘He’s crazy.’

Lee Gun hadn’t returned just because he wanted his revenge on only the Zodiac Saints. This made him scarier. Although it was unbelievable, Heiji could feel his intention. ‘Maybe, it’s possible for him to kill a god.’

Lee Gun was weak, yet he was able to hurt her god. This made her realize something. ‘Is this why the Sheep god was the first one to run away….’

The Sheep god had run away after Lee Gun’s appearance. Everyone thought the Sheep god was a coward and whimsical. There was a lot of chatter about why the god had run away, but this confirmed it for her.

‘It was because of Lee Gun.’ Heiji fell into turmoil. ‘What did he do inside the tower for the past twenty years? That is not the power of a human.’

Lee Gun didn't care what she thought. He just grinned while looking at the sky.

* * *

[The Two-Faced god’s self-esteem has been completely crushed.]

[Until now existed no being that could steal a contractor who had made a direct deal with a god.]

[Several beings are afraid of losing their Saints. They have run away.]

[Your EXP has risen by a lot.]

[The familiars of the other gods are cheering.]

[You have earned fame from those familiars.]

[Your Divine Influence has increased.]

[You have acquired Saint EXP]

[You have acquired Saint EXP]

[You have acquired a massive amount of EXP]

[Your level has increased by two.]

[Rookie God (Lv. 9)]

[All the EXP will be automatically converted into points]

[Total Points: 12]

Lee Gun was satisfied that he was able to injure the Gemini god. ‘I’ve gained more than I expected.’

First, he was able to test his power against a god. That was huge. He didn’t know about the other Divine skills, but at the very least, <Death Instinct> would allow him to exchange blows with a god. This exchange had provided proof for what he had thought.

‘I can fight the gods.’ This was something impossible twenty years ago. Of course, Lee Gun was still weak, but he was strong enough to get confirmation that his power worked. ‘I just have to raise my level.’

If he could equip himself with a weapon, everything would be more perfect. In any case, this experience had allowed him to smoothly raise his level. ‘I was able to raise two levels by scratching a god.’

This was the benefit of hitting a god. When Lee Gun had bashed the Leo Saint at Drachma, he had only been at level five. The most interesting part of all this, however, was the next notification.

[When you reach level 10, you will go through a special trial.]

[According to the disposition you have established up to this point, the trial will be used as a base to activate a special quest.]

[Serpent Bearer’s Awakening (SSS rank)]

Special trial: it was called a trial but was similar to a job quest. Lee Gun found this development interesting.

‘Also, my penalty will end in a fortnight.’ Everything was turning out according to his plan. Lee Gun laughed.

“Lee Gun!”

Lee Gun turned his head when he heard Heiji’s voice. However, he wasn’t looking at the sculpture.

“Lee Gun! Take me out of here right now!”

_{The latest_epi_sodes are on_the novel35.COM website.}

Yes, Heiji was screaming from one of Sungjae’s figurines. Lee Gun had directly put her soul into the figurine. It was the figurine of his idol. The problem was the figurine’s stance. The figurine’s head was being squeezed by a Lee Gun figurine.

Even if that was just a figurine, being placed in a headlock by a figurine made in the image of Lee Gun was humiliating for Heiji.

“Hurry up and change my position!”

Lee Gun sneered as if he found her request to be foolish. “What about it? You must be loving it because you look younger now.”

‘This bastard!’

“Anyway, be thankful that Sungjae doesn’t own one of your figurines.”

“…!” Heiji felt humiliated, but she could only ground her teeth. She knew better than anyone that she was in a very bad spot. Why?

‘Shit! He left me in here and just took Raeriqueen’s soul.’ Heiji was sure of it. Lee Gun was probably going to dispose of her soul and use the Fairy Monarch’s soul.

‘Of course, Raeriqueen will submit to that bastard.’ Just the sight of Lee Gun had the Fairy Monarch clutching at its head in fear.

In the end, the scenario that Heiji was most worried about unfolded in front of her.

“I will make the Souls swear loyalty to you!

“Oh, great Lee Gun-nim! Please show me mercy!”

The Fairy Monarch trembled as it gave its loyalty to Lee Gun.

Heiji despaired, while someone else was laughing like a madman.

“Hahaha! You deserve it!” The ghost of Yang Wei didn’t hold back. “I knew you would get captured! Hahaha!”

Hugo, who had brought Yang Wei with him, looked at this scene with his mouth open. “Oh my god! Oh lord!”

The Archer Saint had come running here when Lee Gun had called for him. However, the sight baffled him. He had known it would be a possibility, but he never expected to see the Gemini Saint in such a state.

‘She’s the woman who went toe-to-toe with Gun.’ She was a woman who had sent a meteor toward the heart of a city just because Lee Gun was there. Heiji wasn’t a Saint to be trifled with.

‘What? He severed the contract between a god and a Saint?’ Hugo was so baffled that he couldn't speak. His heart had already been in his mouth before he arrived at the house when he had seen the sky suddenly darken.

‘It’s the descent of a god.’ He had been basically watching the gods fight an all-out war. What had alarmed Hugo the most was that his lazy god had his hackles up too. This drove home the fact that the situation was very dangerous.

Therefore, Hugo had rushed toward his son’s house, but what actually happened?

‘He punched a god?’ Hugo had never even thought that was possible. This made him scared for a moment.

However, Yang Wei had already guessed what had happened. ‘I would have never put it past him.’ He had also suffered under Lee Gun’s hands because his god had run away, and he remembered the words his god had left behind before that.

[He’s capable of feeding on a god.]

‘Of course, I had no duty to tell the others about it.’ The other Zodiac Saints considered Yang Wei’s disappearance a boon. They only cared about the advantages it created.

On the other hand, Heiji was in the dark about all of this, so she felt cheated. However, she quickly got over such emotions. ‘Alright. Do what you want.’

It seemed like Lee Gun wanted to put Raeriqueen to use by putting the Fairy Monarch in her body.

’It’s useless. You’ll never be able to find my body.’ Heiji let out a contented smile. Her confidence wasn’t unfounded.

Just a while ago, Sungjae had received a call/

The elders of the Gemini temple, one of the two large factions propping up the temple, had contacted him. They were a group that moved separately to the generals; they were the watchers who monitored the disciples. So, of course, they would step forward at the news that Chun Sungjae wanted to leave the temple.

Chun Sungjae received a notice from them.

- Chun Sungjae. As a high-rank disciple, your act of betraying a god is heavy.

- You will receive judgment from God.

The young man’s face had frozen for a brief moment.

This had made Lee Gun take up the phone. He then said, ‘Shut up! If you want your Saint back, bring your Saint’s body to me. I’ll give you one day to accomplish this.’

The elders might be put in danger, but it didn’t matter.

‘The elders can transfer my soul.’ This was a special skill of the Gemini Saint. ‘I’m sure I’ll be able to find a way to return to my body with their help.’

The Gemini temple’s disciples could use magic even with the absence of the Gemini god. It wasn’t a fluke that Chun Sungjae was able to use magic with zero percent faith.

‘If one understands the theory of magic itself, one can use several spells without the power of the gods.’

Of course, not everyone could do it. The [Genius Attribute] was needed. Moreover, Heiji had placed numerous spells on her body as a contingency. If the elders could bring her body here…

At that moment, Lee Gun suddenly started laughing. “Do you really think I’ll let your peons bring your body here?”

“!” Heiji was surprised.

Lee Gun let out a wicked laugh. “I’m sorry, but the earlier conversation was a feint!”

“What?”

Lee Gun snorted as he pointed at Hugo. “Do you think I called him here to eat lunch?”

Heiji felt her heart sink.

“Hey, take it out.”

At Lee Gun’s words, Hugo sighed and took out a piece of paper.

[Book Containing Anything - Copy] S rank

Lee Gun had ripped out a page from the holy item he used as an inventory. When he let his magical energy flow into the paper, Heiji was finally alarmed.

[The Saint’s body has been summoned.]

A statuesque body of a beautiful woman had appeared.

It was her body. Heiji was baffled. Her body was supposed to be in her holy ground, so why was it here? She asked, “How did you…”

Lee Gun let out an evil laugh. “What do you mean how? I told Taeksoo to rob your house. I called your peons to bring your body here because I wanted to see if Taeksoo had brought the real one or not.”

“…?!”

This was what Lee Gun had told Hugo to do in the earlier call.

- Hey! Go to the crazy bitch’s house and find her body for me.

- Crazy bitch’s house? Japan?

- Yes. If I’m correct, she should be holding the Soul Register.

As instructed by Lee Gun, Hugo had gone to the Gemini Saint’s holy ground. Of course, the holy ground had spells that prevented intruders from entering it. However, they didn’t matter.

‘I have the badge of a Gemini general. I can use this to enter this place.’ This was how Hugo had stolen all the goods from the Gemini Saint’s holy ground

“Take this! You were looking for this alongside her body, right?” Hugo tossed an old notebook.

[Soul Register], Heiji was shocked when she confirmed it was her item. “That makes no sense! My body is protected by dozens of Constructs. You don’t even have a bow, so how…!”

Suddenly, Heiji had an epiphany. ‘Lee Gun made him a weapon.’

This was to be expected. As a Maker, there was no way Lee Gun would allow his friend to run around without any weapon. Lee Gun had indeed made a weapon for Hugo. Of course, it wasn’t a Royal holy item(SS rank). It was a temporary weapon Hugo would use until Lee Gun made him a better weapon. However, that temporary weapon was powerful enough for Hugo to rob an empty house.

Heiji became desperate as she realized everything was turning against her. She could already see what would happen soon. “Please! Please don’t put Raeriqueen in my body! I’ll follow all your demands! Please!”

Lee Gun didn't pay attention to her as he laughed. “Well, I don’t have to do that. I can kill you both”

“What?”

Lee Gun instantly pressed his foot down on Heiji’s head.

Kwah-jeek!

It was as if he wanted to make her head explode with his foot. Since Heiji body no longer had a contract with a god, it was very weak. Lee Gun had only applied slight pressure, yet her body was showing a reaction.

Heiji was shaking. ‘He’s really planning on killing me.’

As if to prove that point, Lee Gun took out a short sword. It was the one that had pierced his back twenty years ago. Then, he asked, “From what I heard, a weapon with a similar symbol made an appearance at Cheongwade.”

“!”

The corners of Lee Gun’s mouth lifted. “Did you stab me?”
