The Return of the Disaster-Class Hero

Chapter 105 - Public Execution (2)

Hugo was dumbfounded. His mouth fell open. That bastard abandoned him and ran straight for his wife?

'He was the one who said I should go to Sungjae since he was in danger!' That little snake.

The Archer Saint was sure Lee Gun had done it on purpose, but he wasn't in a position to even glare at the hospital room.

"Dad! Behind you!"

Hugo quickly turned his head at his son's desperate warning.

"!"

The woman who he had sent flying with his bombardment should have fallen unconscious. Yet, she was running toward him. Her hands emitted an odd light as she aimed for him.

Flash!

The light gave Hugo an ominous feeling. For some reason, he knew he shouldn't let it touch him. This ominous feeling became reality when the woman got close to him.

'!'

The magical energy of the Sagittarius disappeared. 'Shit! The power of my Zodiac...' His divine protection instantly disappeared as well. This meant he was completely defenseless!

The woman grinned when she reached an arm's distance from Hugo.

"...!"

Then she touched Hugo's heart!

Hugo realized something had gone wrong at that moment. Another explosion erupted.

Kwahng!!

The explosion was so incredible that it seemed as though two tanks had collided. Flames engulfed the surroundings, and an orange light spread everywhere.

Kwah-gwa-gwa-gwahng!

The explosion blasted away the forest, and the strange rays of light melted the birds.

"Saint-nim!"

The disciples' shocked voices boomed in the air. It was as if the woman had wanted to self-destruct alongside Hugo.

A deep sinkhole now lay on the floor, and the large coniferous trees had instantly turned into ash. In terms of the power, the explosion was strong enough to disintegrate someone.

Lee Jaewon and Goat had watched it all. Devastated, they sank to the ground. Their reactions were understandable.

'Saint-nim's protection vanished.'

The disciples received their Zodiac's blessing through their Zodiac Saint. The blessing would never disappear unless their Zodiac Saint was dead! The disciples knew what this implied.

"Saint-nim!"

Chun Sungjae's face hardened. The young man possessed excellent sensing ability, and he had also felt his father's energy disappear alongside the explosion. His legs turned wobbly without him realizing it, and his hands shook.

"Dad!"

At that moment...

"Kuh-huhk!"

A black object was flung out of the gray smoke.

"Cough! Cough!"

It was the woman. She clutched at her stomach as she retched.

Then, Hugo walked out of the smoke. "You're still a kid. You shouldn't blow yourself up."

"Saint-nim!"

"Dad!"

The Archer Saint held his bow in one hand and a wristwatch in the other. The watch was what had caused the explosion. It seemed Hugo had wanted to save the woman who had intended to blow herself up.
