The Return of the Disaster-Class Hero

Ch 83 - Trial of Reputation (3)

Hugo couldn't believe his ears. 'What the hell did they just say? They want us to kill the Virgo Saint?'

The statement was so shocking that Hugo almost sobered up on the spot.

Goat was also surprised. 'What kind of disciples want the death of their Saint?'

This was unheard of. It was like asking someone to assassinate the pope or a king. The Zodiac Saints were that special. Moreover, the prince was making the request in front of a large crowd.

The confusion Goat felt soon turned into surprise when he surveyed his surroundings. 'What the hell!'

All the people in the pub were frozen. It was as if time had stopped. It was the same for the Leo disciples, who had been fussing over their tablet a moment ago.

Yes, this wasn't a regular magic spell.

'This is the Virgo's Divine skill!'

The Virgo was a battle-type god, but also the god of contract. This skill was the Virgo's <Contract Space> skill.

In other words, Prince Pelio had created a pocket dimension where he could make a contract with Lee Gun. Aside from the ones making the contract, the pocket dimension excluded everyone else. The time for those excluded people within a certain radius would stop as well.

Of course, the people under the skill wouldn't be aware of the time stop. From their point of view, only a second would've passed, the blink of an eye.

The skill should've affected Goat in the same way. 'So why am I....'

It didn't take Goat long to realize why he wasn't frozen. Hugo had placed his hand on his shoulder. Goat felt a powerful magical energy. It seemed Hugo had counteracted the Virgo's influence using his power.

This surprised the Virgo disciples.

'At the end of the day, he's a Zodiac Saint.'

The Virgo disciples had wanted to exclude everyone except Lee Gun.

"You're asking Gun to kill your Saint after you put up this barrier. What are you guys trying to start?" Hugo asked.

The Virgo disciples gulped when they saw Hugo's hard eyes. A moment ago, the Archer Saint had been praising Lee Gun in a drunken state. Yet now, he was almost like a completely different person.

Of course, it didn't matter. In the end, the Archer Saint was Lee Gun's comrade. If he was included in this talk, he might become a big help. There was no downside to this.

Hugo spoke. "Don't do anything funny— Kuhk!" Hugo grabbed his shin as he fell over.

After kicking him, Lee Gun said, "Talk to me after you sober up."

"Huh-uhk...!"

"S-Saint-nim!"

"Jeez! Really!"

Hugo felt like dying from pain. The Virgo disciples couldn't believe what they were seeing. They were having a hard time picking up their jaws from the floor.

They never expected to see a Saint in so much pain. The Archer Saint was considered the weakest Saint, yet he could tank skills sent by a countless number of people. Therefore, they cheered when they saw Hugo, a Saint, in pain.

They had no choice. Why?

In truth, disciples couldn't attack their Saints. This wasn't just talk. Accomplishing that using their abilities was impossible, the reason being that their powers came from their god and the Saint.
