Chapter 108
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.
‘Is the Secretary a disciple of the Scorpio temple?’
If it was so, this was incredible news. Why?
‘There’s no way a Secretary would follow a Zodiac!’
That was right. The Secretaries had been awakened through divine blessings, yet in turn, they had betrayed the Zodiacs
As a result, the Constructs had hunted them down. The annoyance they had caused was added on top of their other sins. However, that wasn’t important right now.
“He’s going toward Madam’s hospital room!”
“?!”
Seeing the black doll heading toward the single room, the flustered Hugo and the Archer disciples raised their bows. However

[The foolish sun kneels under the true sun.]
“?!”
As the familiar voice rang, every Archer disciple fell to their knee.
Boom!
“Koohk!”
“Not this again!”
The disciples ground their teeth.
As if to make things worse, the force had become much stronger. They felt like a hydraulic press was trying to crush them. The force pressed down on their backs and heads.
“Oohk
!”
They barely withstood being flattened to the ground by extending their arms. At that moment, however, the sound of laughter hit their right ears.
“Ha ha ha! You guys are all four-legged beasts. Those who follow the Zodiacs are all idiots!”
The doll with the long hair disappeared as he laughed at Hugo’s party. It seemed the man was savoring the fact that he could make the stuck-up Zodiac Saint fall to his knees.
In the end, Hugo ground his teeth. Devoid of strength, he remained in the kneeling position. He thought about the horse sculpture that had come flying out of the slime’s mouth.
“As expected, he had the original Bible of the Sagittarius!”
That was why the Secretary could do this. Moreover, the original text that the Secretary had thrown wasn’t the only one.
‘It’s one of the 17,838 origin texts.’
The Secretary had used one of the original texts that he still had with him. It was a passage written in a different original text.
‘Those should be in the Archer’s holy ground. How can this be?’
Anyway, no one from the Sagittarius temple could lay a hand on the Secretary since the man possessed their original texts.
However

“Phew! Idiots!”
The second Hugo heard these words, his vision turned black.
At the same time, the sound of the hospital’s wall breaking rang out!
Kwahng!
“Huh-huhk
!”
Lee Gun had ruthlessly kicked Hugo and sent him flying.
Hugo threw up blood. He quickly got up as he clutched at his head. “Why the hell did—”
“You can move now, right?”
“!” Hugo was surprised when he realized that the power pressing down on him had disappeared.
Lee Gun had kicked him toward the shade, where the sun couldn’t reach him, to neutralize the Secretary’s power.
After all, the earlier passage said that they couldn’t move under the sun. If that was the case, Hugo would’ve preferred it if Lee Gun had closed the curtains.
However, being so kind wasn’t in Lee Gun’s nature. Moreover, it was more unlikely that he would be careful because they were inside a hospital. Lee Gun wasn’t that sort of man.
Hugo was about to make a remark when something surprised him.
“Kyahhk!”
A scream came from the hospital room.
“The assailant is going toward the room!”
“What? That room has only one person!”
Killing intent entered Hugo’s eyes when he heard the voices of the running nurses. It was his wife’s hospital room. ‘That bastard
’
Hugo activated his skill.
[Future Prediction - Tracking Eyes]
The color of his eyes changed. This was the Archer Saint’s Penetration vision. As expected of the temple of hunting, its Saint could see through anything. Above all else, Hugo got one more special skill as the Archer Saint.
[Future Prediction]
He could see five seconds into the future for the objects in his field of vision. As soon as Hugo activated this skill, he could predict everything that would happen within the hospital.
Flash!
The Archer Saint located his target, who had run away. The target’s location five seconds into the future was marked by a person highlighted in red.
Moreover, the red-colored person was at the end of the hallway instead of the hospital room! The Secretary and Chun Jiwoo stood there. Hugo saw the Secretary threaten Jiwoo with a knife.
After getting the coordinates where the Secretary would be standing, Hugo immediately set his aim. He pulled back on his bow.
Pahng!
The Archer Saint’s arrow avoided people and accurately headed toward its target.
Kwang!
A scream rang out alongside the deafening roar. His arrow had found its target! Hugo emitted a sharp killing intent as he headed toward the location in question.
Kwahng!
“Jiwoo! Are you alri—”
Hugo, who had been running hard, was dumbfounded at the sight.
“!!”
Pah-jee-jeek!
Lee Gun had grabbed the arrow he had sent flying, and he had done it with his bare hand!
“You—” Hugo was about to glare at Lee Gun as if the latter had lost his mind.
However, Lee Gun angrily said, “Hey, you wanna die? You shot him with the intent to kill.”
“?!”
Of course, Hugo was going to kill him. The Secretary was violent, and he had escaped once! Moreover, although it hadn’t happened yet, this suspicious man planned on attacking his wife!
Lee Gun picked at his ear in an impudent manner. “He’s my slave. He’ll have to write my bible until he dies.”
“
!” Hugo was dumbfounded. ‘Slave? Bible?’
The Archer Saint suddenly realized what Lee Gun planned to do. He knew it had been a possibility, but Lee Gun seriously planned to tame the Secretary!
“Hey! Have you lost your mind? Even the Zodiacs can’t do much against a Secretary! Since he acted so viciously, we have to kill him. If not—”
“You won’t be able to get rid of him.”
“I can get rid of him!”
“Whatever! Your attack couldn’t even go past my bare hand.”
Hugo felt a surge of anger, but at the same time, he was flustered. ‘What’s going on? Gun wasn’t present in the Future Prediction.’
In the five seconds into the future that he had seen, Lee Gun hadn’t been there. ‘I should’ve been able to see the future of all living human beings.’
Moreover, he could see Lee Gun’s future twenty years ago. ‘Well, even if I was able to see it, my prediction of his future turned out to be a miss.’
However, he couldn’t see Lee Gun’s future at all now. This didn’t matter.
‘The future of Jiwoo being attacked was erased thanks to Gun.’
His wife’s eyes twinkled as she looked at Lee Gun. Nothing had happened to her.
‘I’ve never had the future change even when a Zodiac was involved.’
While Lee Gun and Hugo were bickering with each other, the Secretary, who had barely escaped death, ground his teeth as he took stock of his situation.
‘Shit! What the hell is going on?’ He had no idea who this other person was. This other man had appeared out of nowhere. Above all else, the most unusual aspect was Hugo’s wife.
‘Why don't my abilities work against her?’
The Secretary had wanted to borrow Hugo’s wife to run away. So, he had tried to use the memory distortion skill of a Secretary. However, his ability had failed to work on the woman.
It didn’t matter in the end.
‘I have to run away for now.’
The Secretary didn’t know why the two men were bickering, but this was a golden opportunity for him! He tried to crawl away. However

“Ahhhk!”
The Secretary screamed when Lee Gun stepped on his hand.
“You wanna die? Where are you running away?”
“?!”
Lee Gun’s menacing smile made the Secretary tremble. The man stepping on his hand didn’t have the eyes of a hero. His eyes were closer to that of a murderer.
Lee Gun dismissively said, “Eeny. Meeny. Miny.”
A magical circle emitting green light appeared on the floor.
Flash!
[Did you call for us!]
Lee Gun snickered as he put forth a paper. “Stamp it!”
In response, Berserker fiercely raised his sword. Something terrifying happened next.
Poo-oohk!
“AHhhhk!!”
The sword stabbed through the back of the Secretary’s hand. When the red ink
 No, as soon as the blood started to flow, the Constructs grabbed the Secretary’s hand and stamped it on the contract.
This left the Secretary dumbfounded. “Hey! What the hell are you doing? What kind of paper is this?”
“Mmm? It’s nothing much.” Lee Gun grinned as he looked at the contract with the handprint stamped on it. “Soul Contract.”
“What?!”
“Ah. I misspoke! Missionary Contract.”
“
?!”
This was an S-rank contract Lee Gun had acquired from Yang Wei, who had paid a lot of money to buy it from the Contract Saint Kevin.
However, this contract had undergone the personal ministration of Fairy Monarch Raeriqueen. It was an upgraded Soul Contract.
The stipulations of the contract were simple. The one under the contract will enter Lee Gun’s temple. One will be loyal to Lee Gun. One will die if one lies to Lee Gun. One will use only items given by Lee Gun; otherwise, one will die. One will work on creating Lee Gun’s life until death.
The contract had a thousand stipulations.
The handprint stamped on the contract flashed, and this made the words on the contract flash as well.
[The Soul Contract has been activated.]
[Contract Complete!]
[The rank of the person’s soul under the contract is high.]
[Several clauses have been modified!]
The words in the contract were softened a bit.
For example, “One will die if one lies to Lee Gun” got changed to “One’s hair will be pulled out if one lies to Lee Gun.”
“One will use only items given by Lee Gun; otherwise, one will die.” was changed to “One will use only items given by Lee Gun; otherwise, one will suffer a stomach ache over which even death is preferable.”
‘I somewhat expected this, but his abilities are outstanding.’
The Secretary had enough power to soften the clauses of the Soul Contract. This was to be expected of someone who could correct and distort a Zodiac’s bible. However, it didn’t matter in the end.
‘This will be enough.’
With an evil smile on his lips, Lee Gun placed an item in the Secretary’s hand. “Here! This is a present for joining our temple.”
“?!”
Join? What nonsense is he talking about?
Lee Gun grinned as he pushed magical energy into the item. ‘A good beating is the solution to a know-it-all who believes in only his own ability.’
At the same time, the Wooden Fountain Pen That Cannot Write Lies roared.
[Appointment Contract is in progress.]
This was a contract even scarier than the Soul Contract.
