Chapter 132 - Don''t Touch What is Mine (2)
Lee Gun held a deep hatred for the twelve Zodiac Saints. They were the reason he had awakened as the “thirteenth.”
Lee Gun had divided his dislike for the Saints into different categories: the fishbone rank, the parasite rank, and the toxic waste rank.
In the fishbone rank were the Scorpio Saint, the Virgo Saint, and the Pisces Saint. The Taurus Saint, the Leo Saint, the Aquarius Saint, and the Goat Saint were in the parasite rank.
Anyway, most of them were under the parasite rank, and up to that point, Lee Gun considered them a necessary evil. As, at the time, the only awakened beings that could protect humanity were them.
If they went too far, he could beat them up and keep them in line. If words didn’t work, he could use his fists to give them a lesson on morals.
However, the toxic waste rank was different.
‘They aren’t humans.’
Of course, both the parasite rank and the toxic waste rank were the same in that they did more harm than good. However, a clear difference existed between them. Lee Gun had made the parasite rank by human standards.
If these “parasite-rank” Zodiac Saints didn’t cause harm, the title of a parasite could be taken off.
On the other hand, those in the toxic waste rank caused revulsion at a physiological level. The representative being of this rank was the Cancer Saint, with the other member being the Libra Saint.
Of course, they weren’t the Zodiac Saints who stood out the most. Lee Gun had rarely shed with them in the past. However, the Libra Saint had be the first-ranked Zodiac Saint as soon as he had died. Then, she had pushed his best friend toward the abyss.
Bba-gahk!
***
Back to the present!
A fist suddenlynded on the Libra Saint’s face.
Everyone’s mouth fell open. A fist surrounded by light had instantly hit the right side of the Libra Saint’s face.
Like a grinder, Lee Gun’s fist ruthlessly broke Giselle’s facial bones and jaw bone.
Ooh-doo-doo-doohk!!!
The huge swing of the fist smashed her teeth and skin!
Bba-gahk!
The fist sent Libra Saint flying at a terrifying speed.
Kwahng!
There wasn’t even time to see what had happened to her face.
Flying like a bullet, the Libra Saint went through the wall of the Archer Saint’s holy ground, then kept mming through an endless parade of buildings. She flew so far that one couldn’t see where she ended up.
Boom! Boom!
The blow had sent her several kilometers away.
In the end, Hugo and Kevin couldn’t close their mouths.
‘What kind of power is that?’
Lee Gun’s opponent had been the first-ranked Zodiac Saint.
‘This is crazy!’
‘Not even the Taurus Saint and the Leo Saint could take her feet off the ground!’
That was right. Something simr had happened in the past. It had taken ce around twenty years ago, after Lee Gun had died.
The Libra Saint had yet to ascend to the top. To solidify her base, she had challenged everyone; she needed loyalty from each Zodiac Saint.
Of course, the prideful Taurus Saint and Leo Saint had mocked her.
[You always stayed in the back during the battles. Stop talking about this nonsense.]
[Do you think you can do anything you want now that Lee Gun is dead?]
[You’re a Zodiac Saint who was unhelpful in killing the monsters!]
The two men had gotten angry as she told both of them to attack her. They punched at the same time.
[Get out of the way, cat!]
[You get out of my way! You’re getting in my way!]
It was an epic sight.
Two of the strongest battle-type Saints had attacked at the same time using their full power.
Of course, many disapproved of this because the two men were charging toward a woman with no weapons. Moreover, the size difference between them was too big. However, it didn''t matter in the end.
The two full-powered punches couldn’t move her by even a millimeter.
In terms of strength, these two Saint were the strongest. Yet, in front of the hits of these two defiant men, she hadn''t even budged an inch. It was truly a sight to behold.
[What the hell? Is that all you got? This is disappointing.]
Giselle had her arms crossed as she let out augh that gave them goosebumps. It was augh fit for a horror movie.
The Libra Saint wasn’t a battle-type Saint! Therefore, the Taurus Saint had received a shock; he then decided to work under her. The Leo Saint had taken a hit to his pride, and this made him obsessed with Lee Gun’s weapons.
There was a good reason all the other Zodiac Saints avoided the Libra Saint. The Virgo Saint was the second-ranked Zodiac Saint, but he knew the probability of him losing to her was high if he attacked her head-on. Therefore, he had focused on a more defensive battle than an offensive battle n.
And Lee Gun had sent a woman that strong flying with one blow?
This was why everyone was dumbfounded as Lee Gunnded on the ground.
‘He’s strong. I knew he was powerful, but….’
Kevin was unable to close his mouth. Hugo seemed bbergasted as well.
However, when they saw Lee Gun’s appearance, their shock increased even more.
‘That look is…’
At this moment, Lee Gun looked different from usual.
[Divine Status: 80%]
[You have activated Death Instinct(D)]
[Death Instinct(D)]
- All magical energy will be used to release the aura of a god for three seconds.
It was like an engine on overdrive.
Lee Gun shone from head to toe. Moreover, the light surrounding him was an enormous power that could overawe his surroundings.
His hair stood on end as it swayed from the influence of the magical energy. His eyes were red, and odd symbols emanating light graced both his arms.
It was a sight that caused a sense of awe. A thought sprouted in their minds.
‘Zodiac?’
It wasn’t for no other reason. As Zodiac Saints, they constantly dealt with Zodiacs and the inner world. They had sometimes glimpsed the battle between Zodiacs and seen something simr.
The Zodiacs of the Virgo Saint and the Archer Saint were humanoid. And Lee Gun looked much more like them.
Moreover, these Zodiac Saints could feel a sensation from the light surrounding Lee Gun.
‘Divine Status!’
It was divine power. This shocked them.
‘Why would Lee Gun have…’
‘Is it possible that Gun can be a demigod?’
However, this felt different from the demigod state. In the end, it didn’t matter.
‘There is no way she could have survived from such an impact!’
They looked in the direction where Lee Gun had sent the Libra Saint flying.
‘I’m pretty sure I heard her skull break.’
At that moment…
“Lee Gun!!”
“?!”
The sudden voice gave the two Zodiac Saints goosebumps.
The voice wasing from the road, and someone was walking down that unlit road.
The angry voice made Hugo and Kevin feel like they were watching a horror movie.
“I never expected you to be capable of this.”
“…!!”
Yes, this person was the Libra Saint. Of course, she didn’t look like her normal self.
“It seems you’ve caused a great injury to me.”
The Libra Saint’s face came into view. Her facial bones werepletely out of ce, her jaw was unhinged, and her skull was bashed.
However, she didn’t seem to feel any pain. The corners of the Libra Saint’s lips rose. “It seems you’ve released a pretty useful skill. Still, you won’t be able to kill me with—”
Bbah-gahk!!!!
The proudlyughing Libra Sain was sent flying once again.
After kicking her, Lee Gun let out a harshugh as if to say she should stop speaking nonsense. “I had hit you lightly so that you coulde back quickly. You’re a snail. You took so long to crawl back here.”
“…!!!” Giselle ground her teeth.
Unlike before, she couldn’t get up easily this time. In truth, she couldn’t put strength into her arms and legs.
When she realized the identity of the skill, she gnashed her teeth. ‘He released his divine power.’
Yes, this skill allowed a Zodiac to release the Zodiac Saint’s power to the fullest. Basically, it was a divine skill.
In truth, Giselle had been able to send the Taurus Saint, who had his absolute defense, and the muscr idiot Leo Saint with the same type of skill.
A Zodiac’s blessing was a divine power, but there were levels to such a power. The blessing was set to defend them against monsters and other humans. Even the amazing Zodiac Saints were incapable of withstanding that power since they were mere humans in the end.
‘If I want to defend against a divine skill, my Zodiac has to descend.’
Lee Gun cracked his knuckles as he red at Giselle. “Did you really think that was my full power?”
“!”
“It’ll be too boring if I end you in one blow. You deserve a beating more than anyone.”
This woman had bullied Hugo, and she was somehow rted to Lee Gun being trapped within the tower. There was no reason for Lee Gun to go easy on her.
“Did you enjoy the present I sent you? I put in a lot of effort just for you.”
“…!!!”
That bastard! Giselle ground her teeth when she remembered the tragic state of those two children. However, her angersted only a moment as a meteor-like fist came flying toward her.
Bbah-gahk!
“Kuh-huhk!”
This fist, which had previously crushed her face, broke her ribs now. Then, it impacted her spine.
Kwang!
There wasn’t even time to breathe.
In front of this ruthless sight, the two Zodiac Saints unconsciously retreated a step. If they had taken a hit from Lee Gun like that, they really would be dead.
In reality, Giselle had taken significant damage. At that moment, Hugo was sure of it.
‘Giselle won’t be able tost at this rate.’
However, that thoughtsted only a moment.
“!”
The light around Lee Gun’s body slowly dissipated.
[The release period of Death Instinct hase to an end.]
[You Divine Status has fallen to 68%]
[You have consumed all of your magical energy.]
[You are unable to meet the requirement (Divine Status 70% & above). You cannot use the Death Instinct.]
Death Instinct was a powerful skill, but it had an equallyrge downside. Lee Gun needed to fulfill the requirement to use the skill, yet it wasn’t as if he could fill his Divine Status quickly.
Divine Status was basically the power of a Zodiac, and one needed the belief of a hundred disciples to fill it by even one percent.
Giselle was well aware of this, so she stood as if this was her opportunity.
“Without the Divine skill, I can—”
Seeing this, Kevin and Hugo quickly prepared their skills. They knew how powerful Giselle was. If they didn''t support Lee Gun, he would be in trouble.
Suddenly…
Click!
“!”
A camera shutter sound rang out.
“Ah! Sungjae! This is Uncle.” After quickly retreating, Lee Gun had made a phone call.
Everyone was surprised by him taking a picture in this situation.
Lee Gun continued, “Yes! Did you see the picture I sent you? That’s the bloody mess of the Libra Saint’s face.”
“!”
“Uncle did that. Uncle caved in the face of your mother’s enemy. Isn’t Uncle the best?”
A wail immediately came back on the call.
- Uncle really is the best!!!!!!
The sound of him cheering was the cherry on top.
[The faith of a disciple with high faith has increased.]
[Your faith has increased by a lot.]
[Your Divine Status is filling up.]
[Your Divine Status reached 70%.]
[You have used the Death Instinct.]
A light emanated from Lee Gun’s body once again. With a viciousugh, the man kicked Giselle one more time.
Bbah-gahk!!!!
The mouths of Kevin and Hugo fell open. What the hell had just happened right now?
Sent flying away again, Giselle looked baffled.
Lee Gun smirked as if to show off. “If you have one disciple with high faith, he’s worth a hundred disciples.”
“!!”
Of course, his magical energy was still drained, but it didn’t matter.
[You have recovered 10% of your magical energy.]
[has activated its power.]
Hugo flinched. Kevin looked at him as if to ask what was wrong, but Hugo just furrowed his brows.
What the hell was that? The Archer Saint felt as if his magical energy had been drained for a moment. Was he mistaken?
However, he didn’t even have the time to inquire about it.
“You’re a mere mutant!” A yellow light erupted from Giselle’s body.
However, Lee Gun viciouslyughed as he grabbed her chest and neck. “Why don’t you die at the hands of this mutant?”
Too-hahk!!!
Lee Gun’s fierce fist punched through Giselle’s face.
