It was a magic circle where the snake created a circle, as if the enormous snake was chasing its tail.
Giselle and the Constructs she had called forth fell within the range of the circle.
Then, a green lightning bolt fell from the sky.
Kwah-gwa-gwa-gwahng!
Accompanying a thunderous sound, an incredible light detonated. When the light and the shock struck them, everyone screamed.
Hugo was the same, but he could see within the brilliant flash of light. On the roof of the building within the light, Lee Gun had disappeared; Hugo could only see a beast.
‘Serpent?’
How would he describe the sight? It looked as if the light falling from the sky was shaped like the open mouth of a serpent. This huge serpent was bigger than a building, and it seemed as though the serpent was planning on swallowing a beast whole.
At the same time, a fierce gust of wind blew.
Koo-goo-goo-goohng!
“Ahhhk!”
The wind was strong enough to disturb the Han river and the Olympic highway, which could be seen from the top of the Archer Saint’s building.
“Kyahhhhhk!”
The younger Archer disciples, who were within the building, screamed as they ducked next to the window.
Koo-goo-goo-goohng!
This looked like a disaster caused by a god. People near it couldn’t keep themselves steady. And that wasn’t all.
Boom!
The ground split, and Kevin and Hugo almost fell through the crack.
“Kuhk!”
“Koo-oohk!”
Hugo grated his teeth as he fell to the basement level. ‘He did say he acquired a new skill when he brought in the Secretary!’
It seemed this was an AoE skill that Lee Gun had never possessed before.
Hugo would have never imagined the skill to be so overpowered. Moreover, it was almost a divine skill in terms of the magical energy it consumed!
The screams of Giselle and her Constructs were reaching the hole Hugo was in from the outside.
[Ahhk!]
[Master!]
After the light swallowed her, the Libra vomited blood.
[Damn bastard!]
Lee Gun jumped off the roof when he saw the Libra rage. A contemptuous laugh escaped his mouth. “What? Did you think I’ll let you leave unscathed when you guys invaded my holy ground?”
“!”
Giselle raged as she ground her teeth.
Hugo, who had fallen into the hole, became angry. “Hey! Why would this place be your holy ground?”
Lee Gun ignored his friend as he picked at his ear. He watched Giselle’s body disperse as the light died down.
[The power of Absolute Order has been fully consumed.]
[The power eaten by the Serpent Bearer will be recreated within the stomach.]
The Libra’s gate, which had been opening, closed once again. The Libra’s power had been severed.
[Master!]
In the end, the Four Royal Guardian Gods’ summoning failed. They were sent back to the Libra’s holy ground.
Koo-goo-goohng!
Giselle was in agony.
[Kuh-huhk!]
[Master!]
The remaining Constructs viciously glared at Lee Gun.
[How dare he?]
[This is a declaration of war against the gods!]
[You are classless and rootless, yet you dare touch her!]
The Libra’s Constructs released their magical energies as if they were going to kill Lee Gun.
[Ahhk!]
However, the Constructs flinched when they heard Giselle’s scream. All of the Construct’s power came from their Zodiac. Their attempt at drawing out power was putting a burden on Giselle.
In the end, the Constructs grated their teeth as they returned the power.
[You will forever regret what you did today]
Soon, a gate appeared alongside the Libra’s symbol. The Constructs and Giselle were about to disappear into it. However…
“Where do you think you’re going, bastards?”
[?!]
Lee Gun appeared in front of them as he continued emitting light.
Bbah-gahk!
He then swung his fist and sent Giselle flying into the distance.
[Master!]
It was unclear as to how far she had flown. The only sure part was that Lee Gun had sent her flying toward the western sea.
[Master!]
The matter didn’t end there.
“You guys better not show up on my land ever again.”
[?!]
Lee Gun grabbed the Constructs by their heads, then tossed them into the gate.
[Ahhhk!]
[You mutant bastard!]
Lee Gun threw something as the gate closed.
As soon as the gate closed, an incredible light erupted on the other side.
Kwahng!
The Constructs’ screams were the cherry on the top.
And this was how the yellow magical energy disappeared from the Archer Saint’s holy ground. Finally, the Libra temple’s force had retreated from Korea.
At that moment, Kevin used Hugo’s back as a springboard to exit the basement. This angered the Archer Saint, but Kevin ignored him.
“You sent a Zodiac-rank flying. Amaz—” Kevin flinched as soon as he exited the hole, the reason being the scene unfolding in front of his eyes.
Oblivious to this, Hugo huffed in anger as he climbed out of the hole. “Gun! How dare you use your power so recklessly in my holy ground! I’ll have to fix the ground too! Anyway, you and the Taurus Saint will foot the bill for the repairs!”
Hearing those words, Kevin looked at Hugo with an odd expression. “I don’t think you’ll need to fix your building.”
“What? What nonsense are you talking—” Hugo screamed when he saw his building. “Ahk!!!”
His face turned pale as he shook. This was to be expected. The Archer Saint’s building looked completely different as if it had been molted.
[The Serpent Bearer’s power has swallowed the Archer Saint’s holy ground.]
[The holy ground’s building has been reconstructed into something new.]
The five-story building had turned into a sixty-three-story building. The lowest floors, which the Taurus Saint had destroyed, had new walls, and the ceiling was back. The building was pristine.
The cracked old outer walls were now shiny walls made of glass.
This made the younger Archer disciples within the building scream.
“My god! What the hell is this? Is this our building?”
“Amazing! Is this real life?”
No matter how one looked at it, the building was now a state-of-the-art tower. However, that didn’t matter right now.
[Lee Gun Tower]
Plastered on the building was Lee Gun’s name in enormous letters.
Everything within the Archer Saint’s holy ground was gone and in their place was Lee Gun’s workshop.
At a glance, this was an imposing sight. It looked like the Demon King’s castle. The building had a snake with a horn on it too, reflecting Lee Gun’s eccentric tastes.
The original sculptures of horses, which had been present beforehand, were lined up outside the first floor, making it clear that they were acting as gatekeepers.
Kevin had to speak out. “At this point, it isn’t the Archer Saint’s building. It’s basically the Serpent Bearer’s building.”
“Ahhk!!!!!” Hugo screamed as he grabbed Lee Gun’s collar. “You bastard! What the hell did you do?”
Lee Gun proudly laughed.
“What do you think? I fixed your building. Doesn’t it look better?”
It seemed the “Gluttony” skill consumed something to create something new. Moreover, the shape of the recreation reflected Lee Gun’s subconscious desires.
“Yes! A Zodiac Saint’s building should be at least sixty stories tall. If I’m being honest, the previous building sucked.”
Hugo screamed in an animalistic manner. “You-ahh-you-ahhhh!!!”
“What do you think? Is it respectable?”
Hugo looked at Lee Gun as if the man were talking nonsense. Flames erupted from Hugo’s mouth.
However, the building’s interior was full of adornments for the Sagittarius. Lee Gun hadn’t gotten rid of those, of course.
Nevertheless, Hugo couldn’t get over the weird-looking building! “Return it to its original form, you bastard!”
“Why?? I’m not a bully. I'm not going to take your building. You can use up to the tenth floor. The rest is mine.”
“Shut the hell up, and return it to its normal state!!!”
“Why?? Isn’t it beneficial to you if a five-story building becomes a sixty-story building? Can’t you see that your disciples are happy?!”
“That isn’t the problem. Just shut up and return the building to its original state! If you don’t, our friendship is done for real!”
Suddenly, the youngest Archer disciples protested from the window.
“We oppose it! We oppose it! If we’re being honest, the previous building was old and outdated! The restrooms sucked!”
“That’s right! Lee Gun-nim can have the top floors! We should agree to use the first ten floors! We agree!”
“In truth, I wanted to suggest we redo the interior, but we were too poor! Lee Gun-nim is the best!”
Really! Hugo was shocked at the shouts. He almost fainted standing up. However, the surprise lasted only a moment.
Boom!
A scream rang out with a loud sound accompanying it.
[Let me go! Why are you dragging me away?]
The Taurus Saint’s scream continued to reverberate in the air.
Everyone turned in surprise and witnessed the Taurus Saint being dragged away by his Constructs.
The Taurus Saint was still in his Demigod state, a large bull. Yet, his Constructs had put him over their shoulder and were moving away.
The reason was unclear, but the Taurus Saint’s Constructs were quickly evacuating him to some other location. They seemed wary of Lee Gun.
The Taurus Saint had no reason to know this, so he screamed in his upturned state.
[Why are you suddenly acting like this?]
[Shut up, Contractor to our master! That bastard is very dangerous!]
[That’s right! We’ll be in danger if we cross that god of calamity!]
Hugo became surprised as he tried to discern those sentences.
Doo-doo-doo-doo!
Lee Gun instantly moved past him.
Realizing what his friend was going to do, Hugo turned pale. He started turning his head. “Gun! Don’t—”
Before he could yell out, however, an incredible sound rang out.
Bbah-gahk!
It was the sound of a horn being broken.
“Where do you think you’re going after you stomped on my house?”
It was as Hugo had expected! Lee Gun lightly landed after kicking the Taurus Saint’s Constructs.
With their procession broken up, the Taurus Saint’s Constructs glared at Lee Gun with heat in their eyes.
[Shit! Oh my lord!]
[That bastard is like an evil spirit!]
The Constructs had been trying to discreetly extract their Zodiac Saint, so Lee Gun’s move had left them flustered. It was to be expected. Stories about Lee Gun were quite famous. There were a lot of rumors about him even amongst the gods.
‘I heard the Aries left its Saint and ran away because of him’ Wasn’t it said that the connection between the Gemini and its Saint was severed!
Even after these events, another, more terrifying event had taken place; the Constructs had heard their Zodiac utter a sentence in shock.
[As expected, is he the god of calamity?]
What those words meant was clear, but the only clear thing was that all the Zodiacs feared Lee Gun’s existence.
Therefore, the Constructs had orders to not get involved with Lee Gun if possible.
Lee Gun extended his hand, and Heaven's Punishment flew toward him!
Tuhng!
After grabbing the ax, he swung it.
The Taurus Saint screamed.
[Ahhhhk!!]
The horns of the upended monster bull had been sliced off.
“!!”
The Taurus Saint’s appearance changed. With the horns severed, he returned to his original form.
“Huh-uhk!”
The Taurus Saint vomited blood as he glared at Lee Gun.
“You wanna die? Why would I let you go unscathed?”
Kwah-jeek!
Lee Gun stepped on the Taurus Saint’s head, glaring at him with anger in his eyes. “I heard you talk a bunch of nonsense on the news. If we don’t want to be attacked by Red Eye, we should follow you guys?”
The Taurus Saint gnashed his teeth. This was true. However, he had never imagined a scenario where Lee Gun would be able to kill Red Eye. The Taurus Saint thought that even if Lee Gun somehow killed the monster with luck, he would suffer significant damage.
Giselle had planned on calling back Red Eye after the monster had destroyed a couple of countries.
The Taurus Saint trembled at Lee Gun’s words, but soon, he confidently smirked. “At the end of the day, only a few disciples saw you kill Red Eye.”
“!”
“Yes. The Leo temple saw you kill it, but the Leo disciples are prideful. Do you think they’ll allow others to know that you killed it? Moreover, no one will believe the Archer disciples; they are under the last-place Saint.”
Lee Gun contemptuously laughed at those words. “The sight of me killing it is meaningless.”
“What?”
Suddenly, the Taurus Saint screamed.
Boom!!!!!
When Lee Gun flicked his finger, something appeared on top of his shoulder. an enormous hand! The hand wildly moved as it tried to rip apart the Taurus Saint.
[Kee-ehhhhhhhhk!!!!]
The Taurus Saint froze.
The gate that had opened above Lee Gun’s shoulder was the Capricorn Saint’s pocket dimension. Normally, it was an isolated space that one could use as a pocket and store weapons in. However, that wasn’t important right now.
[Kee-ehhhhhhhhk!!!]
The Taurus Saint saw an eye. This being looked like it was going to push through the pocket dimension to eat him. The Taurus Saint recognized the teeth that tried to get at him! ‘Red Eye?’
“What… what the hell? Why is that?”
Lee Gun smirked as he answered him. “Why are you so surprised? Have you never seen a pet like him?”
“?!”
Pet, my ass! This psychotic bastard!
