At that moment, Chun Yooha received an SOS text from her brother that surprised her.
[Nooooona!!! Emergency!]
[Uncleâs chastity is in dangeeeeeeeer]
The first SOS was about the Scorpio Saintâs appearance. However, that was secondary to the incomprehensible texts that came afterward.
âUncle is in danger?â Moreover, Uncleâs what was in danger?
Grim, Chun Yooha replied to her brother. She wanted clarification, but he was unresponsive. This worried her. She wondered if something had happened to him.
âI already received something strange today!â
Chun Yoohaâs fine forehead furrowed a bit as she took something out of her pocket. It was the coin with a snake engraved on it, which had suddenly fallen in front of her.
âBy the look of its design, itâs an item belonging to Uncle.â
Yooha had tried injecting her magical energy into it. She had tried all kinds of other things as well, but the coin had yet to show a reaction.
In the end, she headed toward the Leo temple as she waited for a reply. She was going there to leave the temple.
âMy contract is about to end anyway.â
Of course, there were going to be a lot of objections to her leaving the temple. This included Stevens, who had brought her into the Leo temple. The objections from the templeâs officers were a given.
However, this didnât bother her much. She had a plan that would allow her to exit the temple.
âI have to take out all the items I placed in the templeâs care.â
To do that, she was headed toward the storage and distribution center. As she waited for her train, she looked at her phone. Soon, her eyes turned round. The reason was the breaking news.
Chun Yooha couldnât believe her eyes. âThis isâŠâ

At that momentâŠ
âHuhk⊠Huhk!â
A rich district in Hawaii!
âShit! This is crazy!â
Yoon Taewoo was running away because a monster had suddenly appeared in front of him. He didnât even get to put on his shoes as he ran out, unable to comprehend what was going on.
âShit! Why did he show up after Chun Sungjae?â
The older of the two Yoon siblings had lost to Chun Sungjae when the latter had unexpectedly awakened in the hospital.
Of course, until a couple of minutes ago, Yoon Taewoo had been receiving treatment from Constructs. These Constructs were the servants of the mansion. They were the daughters of Asclepius, the god of medicine.
Moreover, these SS-rank Constructs were goddesses of health and recovery. Amongst the Constructs that dealt with medical treatment, these were in contention of being the higher rank ones. Their abilities were considerable.
âMother did well in taking them from the Aquarius Saint.â
Of course, these Constructsâ abilities didnât deal with regeneration, and the rate of recovery was slow. It wasnât as if the vision Yoon Taewoo had lost in one eye would come back. However, this didnât matter.
âChun Sungjae! That arrogant bastard.â
As soon as he recovered from his injuries, Yoon Taewoo had planned on taking his revenge on Chun Sungjae.
âHeâs only a kid who just awakened to the general rank. How dare he do that!â Chun Sungjae was only a kid, yet he pushed himself forward as a genius.
Yoon Taewoo hated this. He had lost only because he underestimated his opponent. However, it would be different this time.
âIâll make you the same as me.â
In fact, he would make Chun Sungjae beg for death. Yoon Taewoo had planned on gouging out Chun Sungjaeâs eye. He was going to sever that kidâs arms and legs to make him a cripple. He was going to make him beg for forgiveness.
So what the hell had happened?
[Huh, huh-uhkâ Young Master!]
The servants protecting the mansion screamed as the door blew apart.
âAre you Yoon Taewoo?â
That bastard had shown up.
When the door got blown off, Lee Gun appeared, swinging his ax instead of sending a greeting.
Kwahng!!!
The mansion was instantly destroyed. Yoon Taewoo had been on the third floor, while Lee Gunâs single strike reached the basement!
This was the current situation that Yoon Taewoo had found himself in.
âYoung Master!â
Yoon Taewoo had been thrown into the swimming pool in the basement. He swallowed water as he waded through the pool.
Lee Gun laughed in contempt. âAs if hiding wasnât enough, you were basically on a vacation.â
He lifted his ax with a chilling smile.
Kwah-gwa-gwahng!
âKuh-huhk!!â
As a green light flashed, the swimming pool was destroyed from one end to the other.
âAhhhk!â
Yoon Taewoo had to run away on bare feet. âHuh-uhk! That crazy bastard!!â
The older Yoon sibling looked like a drowning rat as he quickly got out of the swimming pool.
Not even five minutes had passed since everything had unfolded! He was having a hard time understanding what was going on. âShit! Why the hell is he here?â
This place was one of the Libra Saintâs secret bases. It was a secret vacation home that no civilians could enter; it was also a holy ground. Here, the Libra Saintâs Constructs made weapons or manufactured tributes.
Even the officers of the Libra Saint couldnât enter this place. The only ones allowed in were the Constructs under the Libra Saint and her direct descendants, who were spread out across the world. However, even they had to use a special skill to enter these locations.
As for this particular four-story mansion, it was accessible only to Yoon Taewoo and his young brother. The fact that Lee Gun had attacked this place meant only one thing!
âShit! Siwoo! That moron!â
Yoon Taewoo was sure of it. That bastard Lee Gun had come here using his brother.
Sure enough, Lee Gun shouted at Yoon Taewoo, who ran toward the forest, âYou should just get caught without putting on a resistance, like your little brother. You have no chance of getting out of this, even if you run away.â
Yoon Taewoo ground his teeth as he hid amongst the trees. âThat moron really got caught!â
He had told his younger brother to grill Lee Gun and bring back proof. He had ordered his younger brother to strike from the back.
Now, things had become very complicated for him. His opponent was none other than Lee Gun.
âIf Mother finds out heâs here, sheâll flip out.â
Yoon Taewoo was well-informed about Lee Gun. Lee Gun was a man his mother hated to the core. That was why Lee Gun had been disposed of within the Devilâs Tower. However, that person had just appeared in front of him. However, it didnât matter in the end.
[Equivalent Exchange]
Yoon Siwoo activated the Libra Saintâs skill. He heard a voice coming from his pocket.
[The price needs to be paid.]
Yoon Siwoo took something out of his pocket.
[Genius Worshipâs Bag]
It was a holy item made by the genius master craftsmen of the world. This item looked like a leather pencil case. When Yoon Taewoo injected his magical energy into it, something popped out.
Flash!
It was bones.
[The price has been met.]
That wasnât all. Yoon Taewoo proceeded to take out a red gem that looked similar to the one his little brother had brought out.
âItâs too bad that I have to use this here!â
This red gem was the crystallized corpse of a monster Lee Gun had killed within the Devilâs tower.
Yoon Taewoo offered the items.
[You have paid the price.]
A yellow light spread across the forest.
Flash!
In a flash, the light covered the entire forest.
Koo-goo-goo-goohng!
Accompanying the sound of the ground exploding, the earth surged upward.
Kwahng!
Beasts pushed through the surface and revealed themselves.
[Go-oh-oh-oh!]
These beasts were monsters shaped like alligators. Each of them was the size of a building. Moreover, there were several hundred of them.
Yoon Taewoo immediately ran toward the beach. It seemed he already knew the monsters wouldnât stand a chance against Lee Gun.
âTheyâll buy me some time.â
According to his mother, Lee Gun didnât have an AOE skill.
âItâs my win if they last thirty seconds.â
There was a teleport facility near the ocean.
As Yoon Taewoo had that thought, he ran toward the forestâs end.
For some reason, people said Lee Gun was the thirteenth Zodiac Saint, but Yoon Taewoo found it ridiculous.
âThirteenth Zodiac Saint? Hmmph! His Zodiac still hasnât shown up. Itâs either a trash Zodiac or Lee Gun is a fake Zodiac Saint who doesnât have a Zodiac!â
At that momentâŠ
Boom!
Lee Gun turned his shoulder as he held Heavenâs Punishment. It looked as if he were stretching. He warmed up his shoulder.
[Your skill is ready.]
The corners of Lee Gunâs mouth lifted when he heard the voice.
[The trialâs reward has been released.]
[Serpent Bearerâs Unique Awakened Skill (SSS)]
Lee Gun took a big swing with Heavenâs Punishment. Accompanied by an incredible green light, Heavenâs Punishment roared.
Kwah-gwah-gwah-gwahng!
âAhhhhhhhk!â
The sound of an explosion rang out, and the wind pressure sent Yoon Taewoo flying.
âKuh-huhk!â
Even a robust adult male like him flew toward the shoreline like a piece of paper. Yoon Taewoo felt like a shrimp being swept up by a rough wave.
Yoon Taewoo didnât know what was going on. He threw up blood; he could barely flip his body over.
Looking at the sky, he cursed, âShit! Why does that bastard have to be so annoying?â
However, when he stood up, he froze.
âWhat the hell?â Yoon Taewooâs face turned pale as he saw the forest. It was to be expected. âWhere⊠Whereâs the forest!â
Yes, the broad stretch of forest that he had been in a moment ago had disappeared.
In its place was a circle, the trees within the circle having been evaporated. The same was with several hundred alligators.
The strength left Yoon Taewooâs legs. âWhat the hell? Lee Gun never had this skill before!â
It was an AOE skill.
At that moment, Lee Gun leisurely approached Yoon Taewoo. A very satisfied smile hung on his lips. âThis skill isnât too bad.â
Yes, the skill he had just used wasnât a divine skill. It wasnât something he could continuously use by acquiring data. It was a bit different. Divine skills could be lent out to disciples and Constructs.
However, the skill he had used was like the Creation Workshop skill and Death Instinct skill. It was a unique skill that only Lee Gun could use.
This was basically like the power and ability of a god.
âI really wanted to test out the new ability I had gained. Thank you?â
ââŠ?!â
Lee Gun placed the ax on his shoulder as he approached Yoon Taewoo. His eyes shone like that of a snake.
Yoon Taewoo unconsciously fell on his butt. âAhââ
Frightened, he raised his hands as if he was acknowledging something. âIâm sorry!â
â!â
âIâll announce it to the world. Iâll tell them we did it! Youâre trying to exonerate your friend, right?â
âOh!â
âI will confess, and I will let the law judge me!â
âIs that so? Youâll confess on your own?â
Yoon Taewoo laughed at Lee Gunâs reaction. He did it. Then, he got on his knees and planted his head on the ground. âIâm sorry! Iâll confess right now! Iâm even willing to go to prison!â
Lee Gun nodded. âYes. A prison sentence doesnât sound too bad.â
Yoon Taewoo was relieved to see this. At the same time, he smirked as he kept his head down. âEven if I confess, Iâll be given a suspended sentence.â
There was a reason he had easily dodged responsibility for the incident ten years ago.
Of course, this time, things had ballooned to a point where he was in the spotlight. Therefore, he would have to go to jail.
âHowever, Iâll be able to come out quickly once things calm down.â
The Libra Saint wasnât called the number one ranked Saint without reason. Moreover, the two brothers had enough support that they didnât need to borrow their motherâs power. They merely had to get their revenge after they would come out of prison.
âIâll recover my power in prison, then Iâll kill them all.â
This was why Yoon Taewoo had lowered his head. âIf you allow it, I will go meet Hugo Otis-nim, his wife, and children. Iâll seek their forgiveness first!â
âSure! Iâm sure Taeksoo and his family would be satisfied with that. They are kind people.â
âThenâŠâ
âThatâs what they would do.â
ââŠ!â Yoon Taewoo trembled when the voice hit his ears. He was surprised by the cold feeling, so he raised his head.
â!!â
Yoon Taewoo turned pale from fright.
Lee Gun possessed the terrifying snake eyes, and he was holding up Heavenâs Punishment. âIâm a piece of trash, so I wonât be satisfied with that.â
âWait a momentââ
The divine judgment fell.
* * *
The Libra Saintâs Holy Ground!
âThis is not good, Saint-nim. Articles about your sons areâŠâ
Giselle stole glances at her disciples. It was to be expected. The information about what had happened ten years ago was spreading around the world. Moreover, the media was doing this at an extraordinary speed
âIâm sure of it! The Virgo Saint is lending a hand. The Virgo Saint has a strong hold over the mass media.â
The sound of something breaking rang out.
Giselle destroyed the tablet PC, her eyes flashing in contempt. âLee Gun! Youâre going through a lot to clear your friendâs name.â
Giselle had gotten furious when she read the breaking news that implicated even her. However, that didnât bother her too much.
âThis isn't enough to shake our temple. What about Taewoo and Siwoo?â
When she spoke, the disciple acted oddly as he monitored her. âWe still havenât been able to contact the two of themâŠâ
âYou canât contact them?â
At that momentâŠ
[Saint-nim. We have received an item.]
âItem?â
Looking awkward, the Construct approached Giselle.
[I think it would be best if you check the item yourself!]
Giselle quickly got up. The Construct bowed low as it placed the item in front of her. The Constructâs face was pale as if it couldnât bear to see her face.
Finally, Giselle desperately opened the item. Then, her face distorted in anger.
âLee Gun!!!â
Her scream shook the holy ground.
