The Return of the Disaster-Class Hero

Ch 108 - Trial of Intelligence (1)

What popped out from the slime's mouth was a person's hand.

Hweek!

Hands and legs abruptly flew out, shocking everyone.

"D-Dismembered body parts?"

The disciples of the Sagittarius temple, who had brought along the slime, were taken aback. Of course, the slime had indeed excitedly eaten the prisoner before they had dragged it here.

"However, the person was alive when it ate him!"

"Did the slime digest him already?"

Normally, that would be impossible. But this was Lee Gun's slime. It was like its owner; it liked causing trouble.

This matter left them baffled.

"Hey! He was our only lead!"

Unlike his confused subordinates, Hugo fiercely furrowed his brows. "Get out of the way."

It seemed he had noticed something. Pushing his subordinates aside, he put his hand into the slime's mouth. Then...

'!'

He found an unexpected item.

Hweek!

"...!"

A horse-shaped sculpture!

"Ah!" Hugo's gaze unknowingly followed the white sculpture. It was to be expected.

'That's the original bible of the Sagittarius!'

Yes, this sculpture wasn't normal. Although it looked like a normal horse sculpture, it was the primary source engraved with the history of the Sagittarius. It was an item that Hugo had to recover as a Saint! Therefore, despite him being flustered, he instinctively reached out.

At that moment...

It seemed the person had been waiting for this opportunity.

[Shadow Movement]

Taking advantage of that moment, someone exited the slime.

Kwahng!

"!?"

A black object disappeared in front of their eyes. It was a skinny doll.

"Ah!"

The doll moved at incredible speed.

Even Hugo lost sight of it for a moment, and this made him even more flustered. 'I can't believe I got distracted.'

The fact that this person had disappeared from the visual field of a Zodiac Saint meant that he was moving at extraordinary speed.

This impressed even Lee Gun. "Oh! He's not too bad."

Unlike the relaxed Lee Gun, who showed admiration for this person, Hugo was shocked. It was to be expected. Since this human moved at this speed, he couldn't be a normal human.

'He's a high-rank awakened being.'

Since the man was a Secretary, his abilities were not beyond the realm of possibility. However, it still bothered Hugo.

'Scorpio!'

Yes, the Scorpio temple was the temple of thieves. As expected of its name, the Scorpio was a Zodiac that boasted the fastest speed. Moreover, this Secretary was using the power of the Scorpio. It was the reason for Hugo's surprise.
