The Return of the Disaster-Class Hero (Return of the catastrophic hero) - Chapter 404

Their faces were so close that their noses were almost touching.

“…!”

It was such a sudden move that Lee Gun’s mouth opened in surprise. Soon, Hailey made her move.

The underlings of the Scorpio temple cheered.

[That’s it!! Princess!]

Ecstatic, the Constructs shouted from inside Hailey’s shadow.

[Just like that !! Push harder!! Suck the soul out of the snake god!]

[No, Princess! Move your hand a little lower!]

[Lower!! That’s right! Just a bit lower!! Ohhhhhhhh!]

[Get a little closer! That’s it! Ohhhhhh! That’s it!]

[No, a little more! Be more direct!]

However, their meddling didn’t last long.

Flash!!

It seemed she wanted them to shut up. Hailey used her power to send her underlings somewhere else.

Her underlings screamed as they disappeared.

[Ahhhk! Princessss!]

[You must! You must suceeeeeeeed!]

In the end, the irritants giving advice completely disappeared. The only ones left in the room were Lee Gun and Hailey.

* * *

Around that time.

[What the hell did you sayyyyyyyyy?!!]

Carly was raging on the other side of the phone call.

[You’re telling me the Scorpio Saint kidnapped Lee Gun-nim?!]

Carly was about to shoot laser beams from her eyes as she conversed with Yooha on the phone. Currently, Carly was leading the Libra temple as the Libra Saint. Her holy ground in Australia had been invaded by the angels and the new Zodiac Saints. She was fighting to reclaim her territory.

Moreover, Yooha would never call Carly, yet things had changed right now.

“Anyway, Uncle was sent to the holy ground of the Scorpio temple. The true location of the Scorpio temple’s holy ground is hidden, but won’t you be able to find it if you use your Golden Rule skill? Anything is possible for your temple if the right price is paid.”

Carly was screaming as if something completely unexpected had occurred. She had planned on growing her power, looking for the day when she would be able to take Lee Gun for herself!

[Dad’s chastity…!!!]

“Hey, halfling. Are you listening to me?”

[Alright! I’ll find him right now! I’ll find him and bring him here!]

When the call ended, Yooha immediately looked at the idiot next to her.

Chun Sungjae was letting out killing intent.

“Why are you so angry, Sungjae?”

“How can I not be angry right now!” Chun Sungjae had decided to join hands with Yooha, and he was contacting other people too. “Since those of the Sagittarius temple are geniuses at tracking, I contacted the older brothers and sisters at the Sagittarius temple!!”

A fire was shooting out of Chun Sungjae’s mouth as he showed her his phone.

Currently chatting with 52 members of the Sagittarius temple

[Jaewon: What? You want us to track down the holy ground of the Scorpio temple?]

[Sungjae: ㅇㅇ!!!! Uncle was kidnapped! Chastity in danger!!! Hellllllp!!]

[Jaewon: Ah. Our Zodiac is absent, so we can’t use our power^^]

[Sungjae: ????? You can borrow magical energy from the Serpent Bearer temple though!!!]

[Jenni: We shouldn’t interrupt in such matters ㅎㅎㅎㅎ]

[Jihoon: Lee Gun Hyung-nim has to lose his V-card!]

[Shu: I want to see children that look like Lee Gun-nim!]

[Goat: I don’t want to be cursed by interrupting unnecessarily…]

[Jaewon: Let’s just cheer for them!]

[Sungjae: #*$&$#*!!!]

“Dammit! They are the worst traitors!”

Since they were of no help to him, Chun Sungjae almost broke his phone as he shut it off.

“I shouldn’t have expected much since the original Zodiac Saint of the Sagittarius temple wasn’t helpful…”

Chun Sungjae glanced at Hugo.

After stopping Abyss with his son’s help, Hugo was grinning for some reason.

‘Ah. I’m glad I gave him the information.’

Not too long before Hailey had kidnapped Lee Gun, Lee Gun had beaten up Hugo for not telling him about Abyss’s intention beforehand.

At the same time, Lee Gun had grabbed Hugo’s shoulder and asked that question.

– Hey, Oh Taeksoo. You are a married man, right?

– What? Yes… Of course… You already know this?

– Since you have three kids at that age, you must be good at it as a married man, right?

– …What? God at what?

– Tell me how to do it.

Theft is never good, try looking at bit.ly/3iBfjkV.

– …What did you just say?

– Tell me how to do it!!!

He had no idea what had happened, but it seemed Abyss had slighted Lee Gun for some reason and made him angry.

– Give me a demonstration!!!! Teach me directly!

– What the hell are you saying, crazy bastard? Why would I tell you anything about that?

– What? I did my best to teach you!!! Did you already forget about the favors that I did you, bastard!!!

– Have you lost your mind? How can you equate that to this? Also, you were never kind to me!

– Why not!! It isn’t as if I can spy on you guys in your bedroom!!!

– Ahhk!!!!

Hugo had cursed up a storm when Lee Gun said things that shouldn’t be said. Still, he had told his friend about everything that he had to know. It was why Hugo had relatively high expectations.

‘This uncle will have a nephew or a niece!’

When Lee Gun had his children, Hugo would get his revenge on him by doing the same thing as Lee Gun had done to his kids.

Chun Sungjae shook as he watched his father keep grinning. Hugo was enjoying this situation, but the Zodiac Saints of the Serpent Bearer temple were angry.

‘Still, how dare she kidnap him in front of his Zodiac Saints?’

His pride was hurt, but she dared kidnap a Zodiac to a different holy ground?

“Really! You are a Construct of the Serpent Bearer, so you should feel the seriousness of this situation! Our Zodiac was kidnapped! It isn’t the time to be smiling!”

Hugo bit his tongue. “I guess you are right. While Hailey might not do it, Scorpio might have ill intent. It might not let Gun go…”

Scorpio was the most mysterious of the thirteen Zodiacs. No one knew its true identity.

“I can see how it might be dangerous for….”

“Damn it! My plan got blown up! I was going to change my body into something glamorous, and I planned on seducing Uncle???”

“Are you being serious…?” Hugo’s expression was a sight to behold.

Yooha ignored them. She snatched away Sungjae’s phone. “I don’t want to contact this person, but this person can get the job done..”

“…?”

Who was she trying to contact?

After the phone call ended, Yooha said something to Chun Sungjae, which made the light in his eyes change. Then he mumbled something.

After a while, he summoned someone.

Flash!

It was none other than the Constructs of the Scorpio temple! They were shocked when they saw the handsome young man in front of them.

[What the hell? Aren’t you the Zodiac Saint of the Serpent Bearer temple!?]

[Shit! How did he bring us here?]

It was supposed to be impossible, but Sungjae had worked as a religious sect leader for two years. He had done it inside an Eden colony, so his ability had increased by a lot.

Chun Sungjae grabbed the monstrous heads of the Scorpio Constructs as he asked, “Tell us the location of the Scorpio temple’s holy ground while we are still being nice.”

[Hmmph. It’s too late. The atmosphere was great!!]

[That’s right! There is no way we’ll let the snake god go! We’ll make him the son-in-law of the Scorpio— Ggoo-ehhk!]

Someone had a bright smile on her face as she grabbed the Constructs’ shoulders.

“Please lead the way.”

Chun Sungjae was surprised when he saw who it was. “Y-Yeonwoo noona?”

“Right now.”

The Divine status appearing from her body made the eyes of the Scorpio Constructs and Chun Sungjae turn round.

She had a bright smile on her face as a new Divine status could be felt from her body.

* * *

Around that time…

A storm hit the quiet holy ground of the Scorpio temple.

Kwahng!!!

[Ahhk!!]

An enormous explosion erupted within the holy ground of the Scorpio temple. The one to find and invade the hidden holy ground of the Scorpio temple was the Gemini Saint Heiji.

“Wow, Hailey! You beat everyone to the punch?”

The Constructs of the Scorpio temple were surprised when a Zodiac Saint suddenly invaded their holy ground.

[How did that woman find this place?]

[How did she enter this place?]

Heiji scoffed as she laughed. “How dare you underestimate a Zodiac Saint.”

At that moment, Heiji made a gesture with her elegant hand. Numerous disciples were summoned within the holy ground of the Scorpio temple.

Flash! Flash!

It was a teleport.

“Uncle!!”

The Serpent Bearer Zodiac Saints, a curious Hugo, and Yeonwoo appeared.

This place was the inner part of the Scorpio temple’s holy ground. A direct summon was supposed to be impossible here. However, Heiji was known as a great magician Zodiac for a reason.

They had invaded the holy ground using the coordinates Heiji had given to Yooha. As if that wasn’t enough, she had summoned many people within the interior of the holy ground.

The only one who could locate and enter the inner part of a holy ground was Heiji. This was why Yooha had called her.

“Find Uncle!”

They started moving busily.

The defenders of the Scorpio temple lamented when they saw the Scorpio Constructs held within Yeonwoo’s hands.

“Our location was revealed to them.”

It didn’t matter. Intruders had entered the holy ground. They ground their teeth. There was no way they would let intruders bypass them.

“Over there!”

[!!]

The intruders(?) quickly located Lee Gun.

“It is Uncle’s energy!”

[Ahhk! No! Right now they are—]

They quickly opened the door to the room.

Kwahng!!

Yeonwoo and Heiji turned pale when they looked into the room at the same time.

“Gun!”

“…?”

Lee Gun looked at them in askance. “Why are you guys here?” He was sitting down, putting on his clothes.

Yeonwoo and Heiji were taken aback by this sight. Yooha looked around, but no one was present in the room.

Hugo, who had followed them, looked surprised as well. “G-Gun? You are alone? What about Hailey?”

“Ah. She was here until a moment ago.”

“?!”

After he finished wearing his outer garment, Lee Gun got up. “I told her that I wanted to meet Scorpio.”

“…!”

“This is great. I was going to call for Sungjae and Yooha.”

The intruders were confused by his words. In truth, there was something more important to them.

‘Is it before or after?’

They had to check. Soon, they approached Lee Gun. Their eyes flashed as they reached out toward him.

[I never expected my brother Eternal Change to take his acting so far]

[!]

Wind was furious, and the other monarchs started to sweat.

[What do you plan to do, Father?]

[What else? The promised time is nigh.]

A long time ago, Wind had made a promise with the other siblings when Eternal Change was executed within the Divine world.

They were approaching the period when the Cluders would be the strongest. Soon, the sleeping monarchs and the scattered Cluders would all be gathered, and all the life within the dimensions would be eaten. That was the promise.

That period was right now, and it coincided with the revival of Eternal Change, who had been executed. Didn’t Eternal Change predict this before he disappeared?

– I’ll be awake by that time. We’ll destroy them all. Only Cluders will be left.

That was what was supposed to happen, but he never expected Eternal Change to be reborn as a human.

Anyway, Wind had been creating monarchs for this moment. He had raised the ones he considered talented. When he had unleashed Time, it had been a rehearsal for this moment.

[This is good. Eternal Change is someone capable of tricking even us. I’m sure he is working toward hunting down the Creators.]

[That means…]

[I’ll use the snake god to make the strongest monarch.]

The second-generation monarchs flinched.

[That means you want to kill the snake god and use his corpse!]

[It will inevitably lead to fighting Eternal Change…!]

Wind laughed at their words.

[No. Eternal Change wants only the Divine status of the Creators. There is only one thing remaining that Eternal Change wants. Creators have something he couldn’t obtain.]

[!]

[He will be satisfied only if he takes things for himself. That’s why we just need to separate the Divine status of the Creators. There is no reason for him to fight his siblings then.]

Wind and the Cluders planned on eating the colonies of the gods, the humans, and the gods of the Divine world. They would turn the land of the Divine world into the land of the Cluders.

[If I turn the snake god into a monarch, Time wouldn’t be able to hold a candle to him. A monarch that would be considered the greatest of all time will be born. He’ll be quite helpful in our work.]

Wind laughed.
