The Return of the Disaster-Class Hero

Chapter 104 - Public Execution (1)

At that moment, Chun Sungjae was near a hospital within the Scorpio Saint's holy ground.

'Ah! This is driving me nuts.' He was losing his mind.

That's right. He felt like his life was in danger. The reason was the pursuers tracking him down.

"Chun Sungjae! Your efforts are useless! Come out!"

"Thirteenth Saint? Hmmph! The new Saint probably can't take more than one blow."

The men and women searching the forest near the hospital ground their teeth.

"In the first place, why are we legitimizing the thirteenth Saint? We should use this opportunity to wipe them out."

"Yeah! Our prestige will go down if there's an additional Saint. We have to get rid of this terrible Saint early on."

"He can't be too far away! Search the surroundings!"

"We just have to avoid Lee Gun!"

Chun Sungjae, who was hiding above in a tree, furrowed his brow.

'It seems the twelve Zodiac Saints are having a get-together.'

More than a hundred people were near him. Of course, there was a reason for these people making such a big fuss.

[Lee Gun-affiliated temple has its first disciple in Chun Sungjae!]

[A bonus skill can be acquired if a temple's first disciple is killed!]

[This skill is "Faith Destroyer," an SS rank skill!]

The media was basically putting up ads about him.

'He's the new Saint, so I can see why they are doing this.' Chun Sungjae had expected this to happen when he became his uncle's disciple. Why?

Disciples rarely developed new skills. 'Aside from during the baptism, skills do not show up afterward.'

In Baptism, a Zodiac or a Zodiac Saint awakened the humans. It was an awakening ceremony.

After receiving the baptism, the humans would become superhumans and unlock skills. These skills were called "Disciple Skills."

Each person unlocked unique skills. These skills were influenced by the distinct characteristics of the Zodiac they served and their own personality.

For example, if a person talented at running met the Sheep Saint, that person might develop a skill called "Make Money Rain Dash."

These were the abilities of the disciples, and their worth varied depending on those skills. However, that didn't matter right now.

"I found him! Over there!"

"!"

Even the high-ranked disciples had come to kill Chun Sungjae.

"Get out of the way! He's mine!"

"General-nim!"

"Faith Destroyer can destroy a Saint! We have to acquire it!" The man who said this raised his weapon, an enormous ax! "Lee Gun's disciple is nothing!"

Imbued with enormous strength, the ax hit the tree.

Kwahng!

The strike sent an enormous tree falling toward Chun Sungjae's head.

'Tsk!' Chun Sungjae opened his arms. Then, he disappeared as if something had sucked him in. It was the Teleportation spell. He reappeared on the neighboring tree.
