The Return of the Disaster-Class Hero

Chapter 78 - Trial of Strength (5)

The item that emitted light in Hugo's breast pocket was the holy item Lee Gun had made and given to Hugo.

"What the hell is this?" Hugo didn't have time to be surprised as screams erupted from all directions.

Wehhhhhh!

Wehhhh!

The branches revealed their treacherous teeth as they converged upon him. Hugo violently shook free from them. His disciples kept shooting their arrows, but they couldn't kill the enemies.

"Wehhhhhh!"

It seemed the monsters had concluded that they needed Hugo's power if they wanted to eat Lee Gun.

"Wehhhh!!!!!!"

The grotesque monsters kept tenaciously running toward Hugo. They knew that in the past, they had greatly benefited from the Archer Saint's power. The branches seemed like a school of piranhas. Their teeth were powerful enough to break stones.

Hugo reflexively tried to raise his bow again, but he heard an earful of swear words.

"Idiot! I told you to let them bite you!" Lee Gun shouted.

"?!"

Lee Gun subdued the monster in front of him as he yelled, "Throw away your bow!"

'Fucking hell! How can he say that after seeing their teeth? Those teeth will reach my bones!'

Lee Gun continued, "You don't want to listen to me? Who cares! You have no wealth to leave behind! There's nothing to be worried about!"

"What? You...!" Hugo wanted to say that Lee Gun was the biggest jerk in this world, but in the end, he just threw away his bow.

Boom!

This surprised Goat. "Saint-nim!"

The heavy bow made a divot on the ground. Overjoyed, the branches charged toward the defenseless Archer Saint. However, Hugo heroically laughed. "I'll trust you! If my children cry because of this, it's all your fault."

"Saint-nim!"

The group of tree branches acted as if they had found the jackpot. They rushed forward, while the Archer Saint took a pose like a soccer goalkeeper. He shouted, "Alright! Try eating me! I'm just like dry meat! I won't taste good!"

Wehhhhhhhhh!

Some branches attacked his neck, which they found the tastiest. Others attacked the thighs since they were easy to hang onto.

"Saint-nim! You shouldn't do that! What are you doing?"

"Look after my kids!" Hugo was full of spirit, but also scared. He clenched his eyes shut. As he thought he was going to follow his wife and subordinate...

Paht!

An incredible amount of light rushed out of him. The intensity couldn't be compared to before. Then, something surprising happened.

"Wehh—"

"Wehh—"

Letting out death cries, the branches shriveled and fell to the ground.

"Wehhhh—"

Then, they turned into pieces of fragments that resembled coal. Their small hands, feet, and shark-like teeth, all disappeared.

"...!"

While everyone was still in a state of shock, Hugo let out a shout.

"Koohk!"
