The Return of the Disaster-Class Hero

Chapter 106 - Public Execution (3)

The development surprised Hugo. As the woman emitted that strange light, his fingers turned cold.

'How is this possible?'

This should've never occurred to him, someone who served the god of the sun. Why?

Since he served the god of the sun, his body always generated intense heat. He would have a tough time feeling the cold unless someone dropped him in Antarctica.

His fingers turning cold underscored the severity of this situation. Hugo became vigilant.

'As expected, this is the ability of a Secretary.'

He was sure of it. The Secretary's ability was threatening his Zodiac. As if to prove this, Hugo heard a voice in his ears.

[In jealousy, the cloud took the place of the sun. The humans below the cloud were unable to receive the blessing of the sun.]

"...!" Hugo became sure. It was slightly different, but the passage was somewhat familiar.

'Bible.'

All Zodiacs possessed scriptures that were considered holy books. In other words, Bibles existed, and these Bibles were already completed. However, none of the twelve Zodiacs could open and use their Bibles. No one knew why.

Hugo had thought this was the curse of the Secretaries. The reason?

'Gun can open his bible.'

As the thirteenth Zodiac, Lee Gun was a rookie Zodiac that had appeared after the extinction of the Secretaries.

Hugo surmised that Lee Gun could avoid the curse of the Secretaries. He wondered if that was the reason Lee Gun could freely open and use his Bible.

He might be thinking about the matter too simplistically, but that wasn't important right now.

'I'm pretty sure that passage is from the Saggitarius's Bible.'

Of course, Hugo had never seen that Bible before. However, his Zodiac had written down all the passages that it remembered. Therefore, Hugo had a general idea of how the bible went.

He needed to know his Zodiac's achievements to propagate them to his disciples. This also allowed him to use his abilities, par for the course.

However, this passage that the voice spoke was a bit different.

The original passage was - The sun sent the light of its blessing beneath the cloud. The grateful humans beneath the cloud received its blessing.

However, the passage that he had heard was - In jealousy, the cloud took the place of the sun. The humans below the cloud were unable to receive the blessing of the sun.

Hugo furrowed his brows at this realization. 'The content is different!'

He was sure that this was the editing ability of a Secretary. It was as expected. He felt the Zodiac he served rage.

[That damned sect is at it again.]

As the dark voice rang, Hugo's body started to burn up.

Woosh!

An incredible power slammed toward the ground.

Boom!

It felt like being crushed by the force of gravity!

Kwah-gwahng!

"Koohk!"
