The Return of the Disaster-Class Hero

Untitled Part 49

Lee Gun let out a bright smile.

For some reason, Sophie got an ominous feeling. She rarely saw Lee Gun laugh that way.

Of course, Lee Gun always wore a mask that covered half his face in the time they had known each other. The only visible thing was his deformed skin. So, it was almost impossible to read his expression. However, one thing was the same every time. His eyes were narrowed as the edges of his eyes pulled back.

'He probably laughed like this behind his mask.' Moreover, his current appearance was a problem. Seeing that smile, Sophie felt her heart almost tremble.

However, she remembered who he was. 'W...what is he thinking? How can he laugh when a missile is heading toward us? Moreover, the missile is powerful enough to destroy this country!'

This made Sophie speak loudly. Afraid, she stumbled backward on instinct. "Hey man. Did you hear what I just said?"

"Yes. You're being noisy."

"It seems you don't know this, but the missile was created by the Goat Saint for dealing with large monsters!"

The missile was nicknamed the Guinea Pig. The Goat Saint was a Maker, and he had installed this Divine weapon on each continent. The missile was powerful, but it was terrifying for another reason.

'You'll become the Goat Saint's guinea pig.'

When both humans and monsters got exposed to the powder created by the explosion, they turned into experimental soldiers for the Goat Saint. The Goat Saint was called a Maker, but he was capable of materialization. He could materialize skills and apply effects to items.

Moreover, it wasn't as if Lee Gun could take on a missile.

It was unclear as to how Lee Gun took her explanation, but he let out a terrifying smile. "Yes. It's fine. Your inherent attribute will be enough."

"...!" Sophie felt her heart sink. She had an idea about what Lee Gun was thinking.

Lee Gun was indeed having a treacherous thought.

<Divine Attribute>. Like racial attributes, each Saint had unique attributes. These were innate abilities they had received from the gods.

The Aquarius Saint's Divine attribute was <Material Liquefaction>, <Innate Cup>, and <Water Generation>. Material Liquefaction was especially useful. It was a neutralization skill that liquified anything she touched.

In the past, when Lee Gun had been unable to acquire that skill, he had become sad. If he could liquefy the materials that couldn't be melted, he would be capable of creating truly special items. In any case, Sophie's ability would be able to liquefy a missile. Lee Gun was sure of this.

As expected, Sophie realized his plan and immediately turned her back to him.

"Hey, Why are you running away?" However, Lee Gun grabbed her.

Sophie became apoplectic. "Are you nuts? You are thinking about throwing me toward the missile. I know it!"

"I'm not. You just need to let me hit you a couple more times, and it won't be a problem."

'What?' She looked at him. 'What nonsense is he talking about?'

Lee Gun again let out a bright smile. "Don't worry! I'm a kind person. I won't beat you like a dog in front of the crowd."

"...?" That wasn't the problem! Sophie was about to scream but...

Bbah-gahk!

The Saintess was sent flying as her scream escaped her mouth. The frontal bone of her skull felt like it was about to break. It was so painful that she was unable to scream.
