The Return of the Disaster-Class Hero

Chapter 92 - What? Serpent Bearer? (3)

A BBQ restaurant near the dome.

"Damn it!" Lee Gun unconsciously cursed. He looked at the grill, which lay ruthlessly destroyed. "Shit! It still had some meat left."

As he had been starving, Lee Gun had come to a BBQ restaurant in Belgium before leaving for his destination. He started eating immediately after he entered the restaurant, wolfing seventy servings.

Normally, he would be full after thirty minutes of eating, but for some odd reason, his stomach refused to become full this time. Therefore, he had kept eating on Kevin's tab. He ate to his heart's content.

The problem arose when he was almost done eating meat. As he was close to getting full, as expected of him, he tried to steal Hugo's drink to finish off the meal.

Puhng!

'!'

However, when he grabbed the can, it exploded. This surprised him. Next was the grill's turn.

Boom!

Lee Gun was trying to pick up the remaining meat when his chopstick pierced through the grill pan. Lee Gun rolled his eyes at what happened.

As expected, all hell broke loose around him.

"What the hell? What was that sound?"

"Is it a terrorist attack?!"

"I heard another sound of an explosion earlier!"

"Kyahhk! Is it a terrorist attack?"

The culprit didn't even pay attention to the surrounding hysteria. He continued to pick up and eat the remaining pieces of meat.

There was only one reason the hard can and the grill reached those states at his hands. He had made a mistake in controlling his strength.

'Tsk! I made a rookie mistake.'

Yes, right now, Lee Gun couldn't control his power at all. It was all thanks to the body upgrade, which he had received as a reward for the Trial of Strength.

[Your body's upgrade has finished.]

[Your first shedding was successful. Your body has been strengthened.]

[You have shed your weak human body. Your body has once evolved toward the body of a Zodiac.]

The "Body Upgrade" that was supposed to take a full day was finally over. Of course, the only visible change was Lee Gun's skin. It now looked very smooth, like a peeled egg.

Therefore, Lee Gun assumed even if he had undergone an "upgrade," there weren't any big changes.

'This is....'

Lee Gun looked down at his hands in shock. He remembered this exact scenario. 'This is like when I awakened for the first time.'

Around twenty-five years ago, he had experienced the same thing when he first became an awakened being. His body had suddenly become that of a superhuman. It had taken him about half a month to get used to his new body. In the process, he had destroyed his desk and TV. It had been a mess.

Him being unable to control his new power meant only one thing. 'I've gotten stronger than before.'

This added to his surprise. The body awakening process had a limit. Moreover, Lee Gun had already awakened as a Saint-rank being, so his body had maxed out. There had been no reason for him to believe that his body would get stronger.
