The Return of the Disaster-Class Hero

Chapter 101 - I'll Take Your Seat (3)

For a moment, they wondered if they had heard wrong. What the hell was he talking about right now?

"What do you mean you don't have a Zodiac?"

"What are you talking about, Gun?"

In the first place, the world was abuzz because the thirteenth Zodiac Saint had shown up. Lee Gun not having a Zodiac made zero sense. However, Hugo did find it reasonable why Lee Gun was saying this.

'I've never seen Gun have an audience with his Zodiac.' Hugo perspired.

Yes, for a Saint, their holy ground was considered the holiest of locations. It was called the bedchamber of the Zodiac. It was the place within the temple where the Saint could directly meet and converse with their Zodiac.

The situation differed depending on the Saint, but Hugo had to have an audience with his Zodiac once a day. There, he offered tributes to his Zodiac and listened to any of the Zodiac's complaints and requests. Of course, the Zodiacs didn't have human bodies, so they didn't possess human appearance when they appeared in front of their Saints.

Anyway, Lee Gun had never convened with his Zodiac. 'He's a couch potato who always watched dramas and played video games all day.'

To anyone who looked at the situation from the outside, Lee Gun would look like some kind of king who ruled over the disciples. Some might even mistake him for a Zodiac.

In any case, Hugo had just assumed Lee Gun was a new Saint with no holy ground and that the new Zodiac didn't have any rules.

'It was odd that he released his Constructs in our holy ground.' If Hugo thought about it, the thirteenth Zodiac would never allow that.

In truth, a Zodiac would get furious if its Saint went into the holy ground of another Zodiac. Why would its contractor go to the house of someone else?

And yet, Lee Gun had mooched off Hugo in Hugo's holy ground for a month.

'If his Zodiac had made an appearance, it would have never allowed that.'

That was why Lee Gun could fearlessly traverse through the holy grounds of other Zodiacs.

Kevin asked in surprise, "That means you've never met your Zodiac? I assumed your Zodiac fixed your body."

Lee Gun looked at Kevin with loathing in his eyes. "Idiot! I recovered by myself."

"?!" Kevin was dumbfounded.

However, Hugo just massaged his forehead. Yes, he had heard it all before, but he hadn't taken it seriously. He had just thought Lee Gun had made a contract with a Zodiac and just hadn't realized it yet.

'After all, Gun doesn't have any experience with it.'

Hugo and the other Zodiac Saints had been with their Zodiacs from the start. He had assumed Lee Gun had later become the thirteenth Saint and that, unlike them, he didn't know how to meet his Zodiac.

Therefore, Hugo said to Lee Gun, "Gun, you probably don't remember it, but I'm sure your Zodiac appeared in your dream. Or maybe an animal tried to talk to you— Kuhk!"

Lee Gun disapprovingly looked at his friend. "I don't have one. Do you want me to hit you?"

'You already hit me!' Hugo wanted to say something, but the look in Lee Gun's eyes made him shrink back a bit.

"Right. Your Zodiac will appear soon. Don't worry about it." Some Zodiacs were very interested in humans, and some were indifferent to them.

Lee Gun dismissively nodded. If he was being honest, he didn't really know much about his power. The only certainty was that he had satisfied some condition within the tower to acquire this power. Moreover, the power might be the power of the thirteenth Zodiac.
