The Return of the Disaster-Class Hero

Chapter 60 - Return of a Legend (2)

"Did you stab me?" The deep, lingering voice sounded torn up. It was to be expected.

Lee Gun understood the others didn't like him for hunting alone. So, he was satisfied with cutting off their arms and legs. However, it was a completely different story for the bastard who had stabbed him in the back.

As if to prove this sentiment, the light in Lee Gun's eyes changed. The tone of his voice became completely different, filled with murderous intent, rage, and coldness. Moreover, he became terrifying.

The Chun siblings and Hahn Jimin froze when they heard the voice. There was a hint of a smile in Lee Gun's voice; it couldn't be mistaken. Yet, they felt as if a knife was cutting through their ears, and chills ran up their spines. Lee Gun still sounded familiar to them, yet he was also like a stranger.

However, the Saints were different. Yang Wei's soul hid within the bag. Hugo stiffened with his arms crossed. All the Zodiac Saints were familiar with this version of Lee Gun.

Hugo was Lee Gun's best friend, but even he became antsy as he looked at the front door. In truth, he just wanted to run away. When Lee Gun's voice changed like that, even he had a hard time handling his friend. He would be lucky not to get stabbed from standing too close to Lee Gun. And that wasn't all.

'Somehow, his temper has gotten much much worse than before.'

No, it would have been weirder if Lee Gun remained unchanged after being trapped within the tower. Lee Gun was hiding a world of pain in his heart.

Heiji was especially uncomfortable. She bit her lips. As his nemesis, she knew this version of Lee Gun better than anyone else. She knew he was tough to handle when he got like this. "Stab you? What nonsense— Kuh-huhk!"

Heiji's mind turned faint. She could see blood from a short distance away. Lee Gun was stabbing her body with the blade. With the severing of her connection to her god, her defense blessing had disappeared.

Lee Gun extracted the blade and flicked the blood.

"Kuhk!"

The empty body convulsed. It was still alive, still taking damage. Heiji's soul felt the impact of this.

"Hoo-oohk...!"

What she experienced wasn't physical pain, but more like a nauseous feeling. She was about to tell him to stop, but Lee Gun had already swung his arm.

Poohk!

"Kuh-huhk!"

Lee Gun let out a savage laugh toward Heiji. "I'm not a patient man. If I drag this blade across the throat, it's game over."

Lee Gun was about to extract the blade once again when Heiji screamed. "W-Wait a moment!"

At this rate, her body would really die from blood loss. It was already close to a state of no return. She asked again, "Stab you? What do you mean— Kuhk!"

Lee Gun laughed. "Don't act ignorant. After I killed Red Eye, I had to take this out of my back. Why do you think I fell into the trap?"

"...!"

The memory of that moment made Lee Gun grind his teeth. Of course, the pain didn't come from betrayal. He didn't have a close relationship with the others in the first place, so he didn't feel such emotions. Lee Gun was just pissed off that he had been trapped within an infinite-reset tower as a test subject. It made him feel violated.

Of course, he had also gained a massive amount of EXP for clearing the tower. He had acquired the abilities of the Serpent Bearer.

He said, "Once you put someone in such a trap, you should be ready to pay the piper. Right?"
