The Return of the Disaster-Class Hero

Chapter 65: Oh, I heard you guys are doing well? (4)

“You idiots! You guys can’t even kill an octopus?”

Sergeyevich was surprised to hear the voice. The voice wasn’t far away, yet he couldn’t see anyone. ‘Am I hearing things?’

Then, Sergeyevich’s underling urged him to act. “Saint-nim! Please hurry! The disciples of the Leo temple are losing.”

Sergeyevich grabbed his remote control. The Goat Saint was about to activate the holy item he had installed near the ocean. As he reached toward the button…

“Look at this.”

“!”

The switch was destroyed, and he heard a menacing voice.

Pah-gahk!

“…!” The Goat Saint didn’t even have the time to be surprised as something headed for his chin.

Shweek!

It was a hand that could rip through a boulder.

“…!” The surprised Goat Saint dodged, but he soon heard the sharp laughter of his opponent. The trajectory of the fist had changed.

Bbah-gahk!

The Goat Saint’s vision shook. His chin had taken a hit in the end. “Koohk!”

“Saint-nim!”

The Goat Saint quickly tried to create distance. His head had been rocked, but thankfully, it was a glancing blow. Although Sergeyevich was the Maker Saint and a Maker, he was talented enough to go toe to toe with Lee Gun. However, the power behind the punch gave him goosebumps.

Sergeyevich glared at his opponent.

A tall man wearing a black hat stood there. “I was wondering where you were calling from. You were here?”

The Goat Saint’s eyebrows drew down in a fierce manner when he saw that sharp smile. ‘I wasn’t mistaken.’ The man’s face looked different, but that insolent way of speaking was the same. Unlike his young face, the man in front of him had a very adult-like voice.

“Can it be? Are you Lee Gun?” The Goat Saint was sure of this. It was the voice he had heard through the phone earlier.

His subordinate was surprised. For some reason, the Goat Saint looked taken aback. Of course, this had nothing to do with his ability.

“This makes no sense. You are more handsome in person.”

“!”

Yes, after Lee Gun had appeared on TV, the Goat Saint had gathered all his photos that had appeared on the internet. However, Lee Gun looked very different from the videos. The cameras hadn’t been able to capture the real thing.

“Wow! I can’t believe he looks so much worse on the screen… Kuh-huhk!”

Kwahng!

After sending the underling flying, Lee Gun approached the Goat Saint while cracking his knuckles. “I planned on going to the Virgo Saint, but I decided to come to you first. Repeat after me! Say thank you.”

“Wait a moment. Please wait a moment.”

Lee Gun let out a bright smile in acknowledgment. “Bet! I’ll stab you once for each second I wait.”

“…!”

Lee Gun strode forward. His slime changed into a large hammer, resembling the weapon he had used in the past.

[Hammer That Grants Achievements] That hammer was famous for being one of Lee Gun’s eight great holy items.

Of course, Lee Gun’s identity as a Maker wasn’t common knowledge. As for his hammer, everyone thought that it was a buff-type weapon, not a smelting hammer.

Whenever Lee Gun hit something with that hammer, something unique would occur. Currently, he was holding a fake hammer with the help of the slime’s transformation. However, the way he held the fake hammer made it clear that he was the real owner of that hammer.

“This!”

“!”

“I heard you took it and are using it to manufacture weapons.” Lee Gun emanated fierce magical energy. He was ready to fight from the get-go. The light in his eyes looked full of savagery. “Give it to me! I need it to repair a royal holy item.”

The Goat Saint furrowed his brows. The royal holy item probably referred to the Archer Saint’s bow. He replied calmly, “A legend-rank monster has arrived. Shouldn’t we kill it first?”

Lee Gun acted as if he didn’t understand the Goat Saint’s words. He changed the hammer into a blade. Now, the slime was a flat knife used to cut leather. The blade was rectangular like a floor scraper, but it could be used to skin a person, a terrifying weapon!

“I heard over ten thousand people are gathered here. You guys can’t even kill an octopus with that number?”

“Octopus is an understatement. There is a chance they might not be able to kill it.”

“I heard they are giving you guys a massive amount of money to kill that monster. If you can’t earn your keep, you should go out and die in the process.”

Seeing the psychotic smile on his face, the Goat Saint knew that this man was really Lee Gun. So, he replied, “I have no plans of fighting you.”

“One!”

“If someone really did put you in that trap, I’ll find the culprit with you.”

“Two!”

“I’ll return all your items. I’ll do it right now….”

“Ten!”

It was like talking to a brick wall. The flat blade turned into a fillet knife.

However, Lee Gun suddenly looked toward the ocean. He could feel Chun Yooha’s energy in the area, but the energy had soon disappeared. The screams coming from the ocean were just frivolous noise.

The Goat Saint had no idea why Lee Gun was distracted, but he took advantage of this. He started moving his hand. In truth, Sergeyevich had made an item as a precaution in case he came face to face with Lee Gun.

“Good!” The Goat Saint let out a savage laugh.

[Warning! The Black Goat has opened a Summoning Door.]

[Warning! The energy of a natural enemy can be felt from beyond the Summoning door.]

“Slime.” For some odd reason, Lee Gun suddenly released the slime from its transformed state. “Eat that.”

Looking overjoyed, the slime expanded its mouth.

“Huh-uhk!”

Lee Gun then threw the slime toward the Goat Saint, who was taken aback.

“Saint-n— Ahhhhk!”

[<Clump of Creation Clay> has eaten the Black Goat’s energy]

[<Clump of Creation Clay> has swallowed the Black Goat’s item.]

That wasn’t all. “Torch.”

[Prisoner Torch (Status: Shaking in Fear) has been summoned.]

Lee Gun fed Torch to the slime. The slime’s stomach changed into an inferno from hell.

“Stay there for now, you Goat bastard!” saying that, Lee Gun jumped toward the ocean.

Screams were still coming from the ocean. The reason was the numerous disciples who were brought here to record this raid. Then there were the people from the media.

“Do you think they will be ok?”

“There is no way they will be!”

Did Thousand Legs call them forth? The ocean was filled with octopuses. Just a single one of them could take down a disciple, yet ten of them had appeared once. No! There were twenty of them.

“This is futile. This place will become a red zone too!”

“Recreate Lee Gun’s raid, my asss…!”

At that moment, Lee Gun was heading toward the ocean, surprising the reporters.

“Hey! You’ll die if you go that way!”

Lee Gun just ignored them. The reporters stamped their feet.

“You really will die!”

“Who is that guy!”

“Does he have a death wish?”

The reporters were about to chase after Lee Gun, but someone quickly held them back. It was one of the reporters, whose face had turned pale.

“What? What’s wrong?”

“He’s Lee Gun…”

“What?”

“That person is Lee Gun!”

“Whaaaat?”

* * *

“Deputy General Chun Yooha!”

The screams rang out on top of the ocean surface. Chun Yooha, who had saved a disciple, had fallen into the ocean. She furrowed her brows.

“Deputy General-nim! Are you ok?”

After climbing out of the water, she was uncharacteristically in a difficult situation. ‘My weapon…’

Her gaze headed toward the leg of an octopus. It was great that she had saved a comrade. However, she had lost her weapon when she came out of her light form. As if to make things worse…

Kwah-jeek!

“Ah!”

The enormous octopus leg broke Chun Yooha’s red spear as if it were a tree branch.

This made the disciples rear back in fright.

“That’s Scarlet Light’s S-rank weapon!”

That red spear was a general rank weapon created by an SS rank disciple. It was legendary for having a fire attribute.

Splash!

“Eden!”

The hunters of the ocean increased in number and started dragging the disciples into the ocean.

Splash!

“Kuh-huhk!”

The disciples felt fear strike their hearts. Thousand Legs was in front of them, its underlings behind. They could run nowhere. In the end, they had one choice left.

“We’ll do it how Lee Gun did it. We’ll make sure we do it to a tee!”

“What? Are you sure that’s a good idea?”

“We have no choice!”

The generals glared as they stepped forward.

“Get in formation!”

The disciples charged. They used a joint skill.

[Joint Skill]

[Nocturnal Beast]

Joint skill was a collaborative skill that needed a thousand Leo disciples.

Magical energy surged in the form of a divine beast.

Kwah-jee-jeek!

As expected of disciples of a battle-type Saint, their attack skills were top tier. For an instant, their energy was on par with a Saint.

“Over here!”

“Attack that part!”

In the famous video, Lee Gun had rushed toward the monster’s largest leg.

‘That must be its weak spot!’

Of course, each of the suction cups in the monster’s leg was as big as the Leo Saint. Just being grazed by it would mean certain death, but the disciples didn’t care about that.

“It’s fine! We are S rank! Stick to the left like the footage… Huh-uhk!”

Kwahng!

The enormous leg sent the frontline flying.

“…!”

Their formation instantly broke apart. S rank or A rank, all the high-rank disciples were ruthlessly sent flying into the ocean.

“Help me!”

Everyone was frozen. The fact that they had tried to follow the video was laughable.

‘We can’t even get close!’

Their formation broke as they became food for the monsters.

“Ahhhk!”

Then…

Shweeeek!

The heaven and earth rang as a streak of red light sliced through the octopus legs. She had put lightning over the weapons she had picked up, then thrown them like spears.

Kwahng! Kwhng!

The enemy’s legs exploded as if laser beams had hit them.

“Chun Yooha!”

Chun Yooha charged forward. She was the only one amongst the disciples who could get close to Thousand Legs.

Shweek!

“As expected of one of the Ten Stars!”

Chun Yooha’s eyes flashed. She had watched that video of her uncle so much that she could recreate it with her eyes closed. Moreover, she had trained and refined her body to a point where she could do something like this.

Scarlet Light moved deeper amongst Thousand Legs’s tentacles, and she surged into the sky.

Fifty meters…

Thirty…

Twenty…

Finally, Zero meters!

Chun Yooha pushed past the tentacles to hit the monster’s weak point, but…

“Koohk!”

“Chun Yooha!”

Chun Yooha was flung back. She used a falling technique to regain her balance.

‘As expected, it is too fast!’ She furrowed her brows as she regulated her breathing.

The blow was a glancing one, but it was powerful.

‘We can’t kill it.’ The disciples turned pale as they sunk to the ground.

“It’s an S-rank monster, yet even one of the Ten Stars can’t approach it!”

“As expected, we need buffs from the Zodiac Saints like Lee Gun!”

One of the generals gathered there had a thought. ‘Are you kidding me? Do they really think this monster can be killed with the help of buffs?’

There was a difference between seeing it and being in it. In the video, Lee Gun’s movement looked simple and easy.

However, when the disciples had tried to replicate his moves, they had realized it wasn’t true. Even if they received buffs, they would never be able to pull it off.

Executing those movements wasn’t easy. The crazy part was that Lee Gun made it look easy.

“Ahhhk! Look up!”

The monster fully spread its body, lifting its large legs into the air. There was no hope.

“Shit. This is the end!”

They were about to scream in tears when…

“Get out of the way, assholes.”

“…!”

They heard the sound of the wind being cut along with a familiar voice. Then, something surprising happened.

Kwah-jeek!

The devil-like octopus legs fell to the ocean.

“Kiehhhhhhhk!”

The disciples heard the monster cry for the first time. Thousand Legs retreated in pain, leaving everyone shocked.

“Who was it!”

“Over there!”

Chun Yooha turned to look. She couldn’t believe her eyes. ‘Uncle!’

Lee Gun was standing on the ocean. Unlike the heavily-equipped disciples, he had worn very little.

There was just a hood and a tracksuit on him. The disciples were shocked.

“Has he lost his mind, coming here in that outfit!”

The commotion was brief, then someone yelled, “That’s Lee Gun!”

“What?”

“I’m sure of it! I saw him at the press conference!”

The disciples screamed. Most of the reactions consisted of them doubting if this man was that hero.

As for the hero, he clicked his tongue, finding them lacking. “Kids these days can’t even catch an octopus.”

The disciples felt aggrieved and yelled.

“It’s too strong! It might be too high in rank for us to kill it!”

“It’s completely different from the video! We have to run away!”

“Don’t get your panties in a knot.” Lee Gun snorted.

Boom!

“Ahhhk!”

Thousand Legs roared as it fully emerged from the ocean. The disciples sank to the ground.

However, Lee Gun’s eyes flashed. “Whatever! This is a good thing. That monster’s legs are pretty useful”

As soon as he approached the octopus, he heard a warning.

[Caution! You are still under a penalty.]

[If you do not use the ability of the Serpent Bearer, your body might face a great burden.]

Lee Gun laughed away the warning. He didn’t need to use his abilities for a monster like this. In fact, he had killed this monster in the past without using any abilities.

“Lee Gun-nim!”

“It’s fine. Just watch.”
