The Return of the Disaster-Class Hero

Chapter 9: Some strange bastard appeared (2)

At that moment, in another place...

"What? The constructs in Korea are gone?"

China's Yang Wei was one of the twelve Zodiacs, named the <White Sheep>. He was under Aries of the Golden Fleece.

When he received the unexpected news, his expression turned solemn. "Hey, didn't they make a fuss about Lee Gun coming back to Korea?"

"Yes!"

"Now our constructs in that country have gone missing?" Yang Wei asked.

"Yes. Our Korean branch was also surprised by the development. It seems we'll have to investigate this matter."

Yang Wei refrained from massaging the back of his neck. In this era, the unknown civilization had stolen large swaths of territory from humanity. Due to this, the world map had changed in the past, and the borderlines of the countries had lost their meaning.

Instead of independent countries, everyone moved according to their coalition. Replacing the borderlines on a map, domes marked boundaries now. These protective barriers stopped the monsters' invasion. In this era, they were protecting human civilization itself.

"My god! Aren't the constructs responsible for maintaining the domes?"

"Some of those constructs ran away?"

Yang Wei let out a small groan when he heard unrest among the disciples. The news about Lee Gun had already spoiled his morning, and now he had to deal with the news about the constructs.

'Please give it a rest. Uh?' Of course, the news was shocking.

The eighty-eight constructs were a shadow army directly belonging to the gods. Only the Zodiacs could order them around. Basically, the constructs were not humans, but transcendent beings. Of course, the Zodiacs and the constructs served the same gods. However, the constructs always looked down on humans. Such beings ran away?

'Why? Who caused it?'

"One of the other Zodiacs might've caused him?"

Before cooperating as comrades, the twelve Zodiacs had sniped each other's EXP. They stole disciples from each other and used the EXP gathered by the disciples to grow the power of their respective god. They were enemies with each other, so of course, they didn't have a good relationship with each other. It was commonplace for them to attack each other, but...

'The constructs never ran away before.' Yang Wei became more and more anxious. 'We failed to clear the Red Zone, and now this...'

Honestly, there had been an unofficial raid to the Red Zone just a while ago. The matter had been kept a secret. Several of the Zodiacs had participated in the raid; everyone had been confident, but they had failed once again. If this got out, the press would swarm them like ants. Moreover, he could imagine what they would say.

- You needed Lee Gun!

Of course, that phrase was taboo amongst the twelve Zodiacs even after twenty years. Yang Wei thought, 'Shit! We thought it would be possible to deal with the monsters Lee Gun killed in the past.'

"It's fine. So what happened there before our constructs went missing?" he asked. As if to make matters worse, the constructs had disappeared in a region near the Devil's Tower. Of course, this bothered Yang Wei.

"I don't know the details, but a disciple from the Gemini Temple was robbed in the streets."

Yang Wei's heart instantly sank at his subordinate's words. "Robbed? By whom? Was it perhaps a middle-aged man?"
