The Return of the Disaster-Class Hero

Chapter 197: Attack from Within (4)

[Please select the location of the Engrave skill.]

A mysterious green light flashed. It was as if the light had captured one’s soul. Then there was an exquisite golden light that looked like the aura of the sun. It was as if warm gold dust was sprinkled on top of the green light.

This shocked the Virgo’s Constructs.

Lee Gun’s power, which they had witnessed many times, was bestial, rough and destructive. It gave off the imagery of a wraith. One could feel a deep-seated grudge from the power as if he had lost his family and wanted revenge. This was why Lee Gun always looked like an asura when he fought.

His black and green lights were heavy and destructive. That was the divine status of Death.

But this situation was different.

[My god! What is that? It’s so pure and warm!]

[I feel my vitality returning just from being in its presence!]

[Is that Baby snake-nim’s divine status of Life?]

[That’s right. Manufacturing is an ability under the divine status of Life.]

[It’s a power that breathes life into things!]

The Virgo’s Constructs were seriously discussing the topic, but their gaze remained rooted at a certain location on Lee Gun’s body.

[A…Anyway, the power of a Zodiac is the power of a Zodiac Saint!]

[That means the Zodiac Saint of Life can use a power similar to creation?]

[Yes. The Zodiac Saint of Death can use a power similar to Space Control.]

[As the Zodiac Saints and the Constructs grow stronger, Baby snake-nim will grow much stronger.]

Lee Gun was a baby snake with a tiny temple, but depending on his growth, he could become a snake capable of swallowing the entire universe.

When it had become known that his temple had two divine statuses, Lee Gun had been marked as out of the ordinary.

Therefore, the Virgo Constructs looked at Lee Gun as if he was amazing.

Of course, this annoyed Hugo as he kept covering his daughter’s eyes. “Gun! Do you mind putting on your underwear before doing anything?”

However, his friend didn’t care about what he said. Lee Gun brushed his hand across Heaven’s Punishment’s handle.

Then, the mark of the Serpent Bearer appeared on the back of his hand.

Pah-jeek!

A small lightning bolt erupted, leaving a mark where it passed. It was an unknown shape. A mark appeared on the handle that was as tall as a person!

Flash!

[Engrave has finished.]

[No one else can use the weapon now aside from its master.]

[Engrave has raised the durability of Heaven’s Punishment.]

[It can become harder or weaker depending on its owner’s will.]

There was more.

[As an effect of Engrave, Heaven’s Punishment has developed a new skill.]

[I Choose You (SS)]

[Heaven’s Punishment (EX)]

Skill in Possession: Aside from the three-stage transformation, two other useful skills have been added to the weapon.

Of course, the weapon developed something odd too.

[Personal characteristic Freak Genius has been activated.]

[Freak Genius: You can always create something exceptional, but it won’t come out normal.]

[Under the effect of Freak Genius and Engrave, Heaven’s Punishment might want something from its owner.]

[The owner granting what the weapon wants will be ideal.]

[If you do not grant its need, the weapon might go berserk.]

Lee Gun was amused.

‘I have to create one with a terrible personality and give it to an enemy.’

The item’s ability might be useful, but it would slowly destroy the owner the more it was used. Lee Gun had already used some of his items like that.

After putting on his pants, Lee Gun suddenly threw Heaven’s Punishment from the base of the mountain.

Kwahng!

This surprised the disciples around him.

“Gun?!”

“Lee Gun-nim?!”

The weapon flew so far that it couldn’t be seen with the naked eye.

“Heaven’s Punishment.”

As soon as its name was called, the weapon spun backward. It flew back like a boomerang, and the disciples cheered when Lee Gun caught it.

“It came back by itself!”

“My god! Everyone rents the Bag because no one can do that!”

“That’s right! The Capricorn’s Bag is incredibly expensive to rent…!”

The disciples rented Bags one could take items in and out from.

It was like the Gemini temple renting out the Teleport spell. The Virgo temple rented out contracts. The Capricorn temple’s specialty was renting out pocket dimensions(Bag). Hugo’s watch-shaped badge also had the rented Capricorn skill. He could put his bow in and out of the badge.

‘I use it because I need it. However, the monthly rental fee is pretty high.’

He had to replace it, so it was inconvenient in many ways.

With such a weapon, even if he forgot about the weapon, it wouldn’t matter. Even if he lost grip of the weapon fighting a monster, he could call forth his weapon at all times.

“Amazing! Lee Gun-nim’s weapon wasn’t made by the Capricorn. I should’ve known it was extraordinary when I learned that Lee Gun-nim made it!”

“The other gods can’t do that, right?”

Even so, Lee Gun looked a bit unsatisfied with the weapon. He could summon Heaven’s Punishment from locations that he couldn’t see, but there would be a delay on the battlefield.

And so, Lee Gun took out a permanent marker from his pocket.

[Come Here (A)]

Manufacturer: Lee Gun

– Set Coordinate Pen (Marking)

– If you draw a certain shape on an object, it’ll be summoned to the location with the same shape drawn.

For example, Lee Gun could draw the same shape on his hand and phone. That would allow him to summon the phone to his hand. Lee Gun had created this skill using the data he had extracted from Hugo and the Gemini Saint. The pen was made using the “Coordinate Tracking” and “Teleport” data.

Lee Gun drew a cloud on the head of Heaven’s Punishment. He then drew the same shape on the palm of his hand.

This action prompted Sungjae to ask, “What are you doing?”

“Ah! I’m getting rid of the summon delay.”

With this, Lee Gun could eliminate the time the weapon took to fly to him.

At that moment…

[The power of the Designer has been activated.]

[Would you like to change the qualified behavioral pattern into a skill?]

[Temple energy may be consumed to make a qualified behavioral pattern(Macro) into a skill.]

Lee Gun’s eyes turned round when he heard the unexpected notification. This had appeared when the new divine name had newly appeared with the EX rank.

The power of the Designer has been activated. He wasn’t sure what it was, but if he had to guess, an act he had done before could be made into a skill. It could be added to an item.

His hypothesis seemed to turn out right. Something amazing happened when he used the power of the Designer.

[You have consumed Temple energy.]

[The pattern has been changed into a designed value skill.]

[The Engrave skill has been upgraded.]

[The summoning method of the Engrave skill has been modified.]

Lee Gun laughed. Heaven’s Punishment was happy as well that its owner’s name was engraved on it.

Then, Lee Gun tossed the weapon into the water.

Splash!

“Heaven’s Punishment.”

As soon as he called its name, a light appeared as he held Heaven’s Punishment again in his hand.

The disciples’ jaws fell to the floor. Their expressions were completely different from before.

“What the hell? Is that item teleportation?!”

This time, Hugo froze. In less than a second, Lee Gun had held Heaven’s Punishment again.

However, since Lee Gun had completely ignored his word about wearing underwear, a different light gleamed in Hugo’s eyes.

“Hey! What the hell was that right now?”

“What do you think it is? It’s the Serpent Bearer’s Engrave skill. It can summon any weapon within a second.”

The eyes of the Archer disciples turned round. The Engrave skill was a temple skill that had never existed before. If one had to make a comparison, it was a mixture of the Sagittarius’s skill and the Gemini’s skill.

“My god! After Super Regeneration, now this…”

“Even the Capricorn can’t make such a weapon….”

No other god could create such a thing. In the first place, the fact that Lee Gun’s weapon hadn’t been made by the Capricorn had been shocking.

Of course, Hugo had told them about it before, but that was something he had said when he was drunk. They had assumed those words were drunk words.

Hugo’s eyes seriously flashed, “Hey! Do that for me too!!!”

Lee Gun completely ignored him as he called for his niece and nephew. “Come bring your weapon, Yooha. Uncle will engrave it for you.”

“I said do it for me too?!”

“It’s done. Oh yeah, Sungjae. I made your royal holy item. Go get it from the workshop.”

“Really?!”

“Hey! Do it for me!! Engrave it!” Hugo tenaciously pushed his royal holy item toward Lee Gun.

Lee Gun clicked his tongue as he used his Engrave skill. “Is that good enough?”

“Thank… Uh? What the hell? Why can’t I summon it? Bow of the Sun! Bow of the Sun…!”

Lee Gun gestured with his hand.“Come here, Sun.”

The Archer Saint’s royal holy item was immediately summoned into Lee Gun’s hand!

Hugo screamed in fright. “Have you lost your mind? Why didn’t you engrave my name? That’s mine…!”

“You never asked for your name to be engraved?”

“What the hell?!”

“Hell yeah. I gained the Archer Saint’s royal holy item. I want a hundred thousand won every time you borrow it.”

“Hey!!!”

* * *

Around that time…

[The Serpent Bearer has used the Engrave skill as a foundation to design the Return Type item. The design of the mysterious item is something both good and evil covet.]

[The Serpent Bearer is happy because he has acquired the treasure of the Sagittarius temple.]

[The Sagittarius tells the Serpent Bearer to return the royal holy item of the Sagittarius temple. He takes out gold coins.]

[The servants of the Virgo temple comment that the Serpent Bearer has a fun time teasing his best friend.]

[In truth, the Serpent Bearer plans to upgrade the stolen royal holy item of the Sagittarius temple.]

[Since he has no reason for knowing this, the Archer Saint cries as it clings to the Serpent Bearer’s tail.]

[The Serpent Bearer tosses the Archer Saint in annoyance and heads toward the west where the enemy’s nest exists.]

[The young Zodiac Saint of the Serpent Bearer has received his royal holy item from the exalted owner.]

[Kevin Hazard is in danger as he confronts the Libra within the Libra’s holy ground.]

The Secretary let out a cold sweat as she watched the numerous words get written into her notes.

Yes, this was a skill she had gained after she became Lee Gun’s disciple. The skill’s name was the Secretary’s Page(S).

As the Secretary, she could gather all records related to the Serpent Bearer with this skill. She could do it in real-time. As she was updated in real-time, she picked out useful parts from the Secretary’s Page, then transcribed them to the bible, all under Lee Gun’s order.

‘If I put in something strange, I will be immediately punished by the fountain pen.’

It didn’t matter in the end. Currently, she was looking at the notes for a reason.

[Will you do it or not?]

A monster resembling a cockroach stood in front of her. It was a monster sent to her by the monarchs. The Secretary had decided to accept a deal from them.

‘If you help in the destruction of the Serpent Bearer, we’ll help you escape from there.’

The Secretary was quick on the uptake, so she had realized the unknown civilization was gunning for Lee Gun’s temple.

‘I doubt I’m the only one they approached.’

It was why the monsters had invaded. The Secretary was the only way they could attack the Serpent Bearer.

She had Lee Gun’s Serpent Bearer Bible open.

[Gospel of Sungjae]

[Page 72. Uncle’s thing was huge and imposing. Of course, he was referring to Heaven’s Punishment.]

The Secretary despaired when she saw the weird page that had just appeared.

‘What the hell is that fanboy doing?’

She wondered what kind of effect such words could have. However, that wasn’t important right now.

[Will you do it or not?]

It felt as if a knife was being sild into her throat. She flinched. “Alright! I’ll do it!”

The Secretary thought it wasn’t that bad of a deal. At this rate, she would continue to be Lee Gun’s slave. The writing was on the wall.

Although she hated the monsters, she hated the Zodiacs and their disciples more. “Ah! It’ll be difficult for me to do this by myself.”

[Alright. We’ll send you one more person.]

“!”

The cockroach summoned a picture.

[Do it with him. He will surely betray Lee Gun.]

“This person?”

The Secretary was rattled when she saw the picture. The person in the picture was none other than Hugo.

[We have analyzed everyone around him. He doesn’t seem to be a pushover. There is no way he’ll always suffer under Lee Gun. He must have grievances against Lee Gun.]

[Lee Gun stole his wife and his disciples. Lee Gun stole everything from him.]

[He must be full of resentment.]

The Secretary sweated when she heard those words. Her brows furrowed.

‘There is some logic behind that.’

Yet, why did she feel so uneasy?
