The Return of the Disaster-Class Hero

Chapter 35: No, That's Not It (2)

Commonly called <Berlin Wolf>, the Calamity that appeared twenty-four years ago in Germany had been one of the Seven Great Calamities. None of the Divine skills and weapons had worked against it.

Lee Gun, who had conquered one of the Seven Great Calamities, didn't care that the world had made a big deal out of that legendary event. He had a hard time remembering what had happened there.

"I can still remember it. I was about ten. The full moon had passed, yet Lee Gun hadn't exited the enemy territory. All the live coverage assumed that he had died."

"Ah."

Those words sparked a memory within Lee Gun. 'I guess they are talking about when I killed that bastard.'

He had exited that place after barely being able to take care of the Calamity. However, he had found the reporters basically playing the funeral march for him. So, he had beaten them up. Then, he had thrown the corpse of the monster as a response to the reporters who had considered him dead. His actions had been broadcast on live TV, and this had caused a ruckus.

Lee Gun hadn't paid much attention to it. The only thing he was sure of was that the monster had been a very troublesome beast. Even he had been close to giving up on killing it.

As the host said a few moments ago, Lee Gun had used the item in question to kill the monster, but...

"My god! I've seen it only in textbooks! Wow! This is nuts... Saint-nim?"

"That is mine no matter what happens! I'm willing to use all my assets to buy it!"

"..."

Chun Sungjae's eyes turned manic.

All these reactions made Lee Gun ask himself. 'Why are people clamoring for that item?'

The general of the Gemini temple gritted his teeth. It seemed he had no idea this item would be put up for sale in this auction. "There is no way we can let the Leo Saint have that."

Lee Gun scoffed in disbelief. "What? You were wagging your tail in front of the Leo Saint until a moment ago. I thought you planned on handing over all of Lee Gun's holy items to the Leo Saint?"

General Choi felt a surge of anger, but he pushed it down. "Amongst Lee Gun's items, there are those that must be acquired."

"Is that so?"

"They are called the Big Eight...." the general continued.

"There are eight items?"

General Choi's eyebrows twitched when Lee Gun acted cheekily. "Since you weren't born yet at that time, you might not be aware of this. All the Saints who tried to fight <Berlin Wolf> were trapped. They were close to being wiped out in Germany. Lee Gun had beaten all the odds to kill that monster, and he had used that item to do it."

As the owner of that item, Lee Gun couldn't stand it anymore. He spoke up. "That's not a weapon."

By its appearance, the item looked far from being a weapon.

"Well, it looks like a stick, but it's a weapon. The appraisers around the world determined it to be a blunt weapon," the general explained.

'Blunt weapon, my ass! It's just a bone.'

"It's theorized that this item was used to kill the horrible beast."

'I didn't kill that beast. I used this item to train it.' That monster had been a canine-type monster.

"The blood of the legendary monster caused that stain on the item."

The stain was from the monster's feces, but Lee Gun couldn't say that out loud. In the end, it didn't matter. 'Is that what the appraiser was talking about?'
