Chapter 270
The fairies thought that their previous monarch, Raeriqueen, was a worthless monarch, who they didn’t want to associate with. This was to be expected since she had capitulated to a mere human.
That human was Lee Gun. Moreover, Raeriqueen still fainted whenever she saw Lee Gun. That wasn’t all. She was afraid of Lee Gun to such an extent that she had thrown away her Zodiac and Zodiac Saint and pledged loyalty to Lee Gun.
That was why the fairies felt a great sense of betrayal.
‘That coward.’
‘Of all the opponents to be afraid of, she capitulated to a mere human.’
She was thought of as a disgrace to the prideful fairy tribe. However…
[Ahhhhhhhhhk! Stoppppppp!]
[Ahhhk! Please! Lee Gun-nim! Forgive us! Please!]
[Spare us!!! We give up! Please stop!]
The fairies were crying out.
“Ha ha ha ha. More varieties of you guys have popped up compared to the past! Extracting them is worth the effort!”
Poo-hahk!
[Ahhhk!]
Yes. Lee Gun was butchering the fairies he had caught. He had initially captured twenty fairies. However, it didn’t end there.
More fairies had come halfway to save their comrades, so the number catapulted to 50!
Lee Gun grabbed the heads of the elemental-looking fairies that floated through the air and laughed. “Ha ha ha! These pieces of trash are crawling out by themselves!”
These were magical beings born through the skill of the Zodiac of Magic, called Fairy Garden (Alfheim).
They were ingredients that would be reborn again even if he killed them. Still, they were living beings. A single death could last at least several hundred years. At most, it took them a couple of thousand years to be reborn.
However, Lee Gun didn’t care about that. “Yes. These extracts from the green ones were good for my upset stomach.”
[W-Wait a moment— Ahhhk!]
Poo-hahk!
“This one had great skin.”
Bboh-gahk!
[Ahhhhhk!]
“This one was great for headaches and hangovers!”
Poo-hahk!
The fairies were ruthlessly sliced and squeezed. They had their bones extracted. There was no mercy.
The fairies cried out in pain.
[You deserve punishment from the heavens! You won’t get away— Ahhhk!]
“Your voices are too low. If you want to cry, cry louder. Make your owner home out!”
[Ahhhhhk! Bastard!]
“Ha ha ha! The blue ones are rare. You guys make great ingredients as dyes!”
Blood flew in the air as the fairies were diced.
Hugo couldn’t keep his head up when he saw this.
“Ooh-oohk…!” He leaned against the telephone pole and put his hand over his mouth. “That cruel basta— Oohp!”
The slaughter of the toads in the past was like child’s play.
Hugo was used to Lee Gun’s odd actions, yet this was different. He felt as if a new trauma was developing. As he put a hand over his mouth, he had a realization.
‘I can see why Raeriqueen was traumatized!’
She had watched her precious subordinates get diced and extracted. No monarch in the world would be fine after seeing such a thing.
Moreover, the fairies were newly born in the Fairy Garden. This was why they didn’t eat meat. They were beings that ate only plants and morning dew.
‘They are beings that’ll throw up just from seeing animals slaughtered…’
[Ahhhhhk!]
[Please stop extracting us!]
[Please stop slicing up our comrades!]
[We’d rather be buried!]
Hugo turned his head slightly, and he almost barfed. Of course, he had no sympathy for the beings that tried to kill him. “Please… Can’t you kill them in a normal fashion— Oohk!”
Hugo felt like he wouldn’t be able to drink smoothies or fruit juices in the near future.
The powerful first fairy monarch couldn’t take the sight either. Chun Sungjae, who possessed this fairy monarch, dry heaved from being influenced by the monarch.
An indeterminate time had passed, and a reaction seemed to occur to the cries of these fairy subordinates.
An enormous beam of light fell in front of them.
Koo-goo-goong!
Hugo did a double take when he saw the beam of light, Lee Gun smirked, and the Chun siblings were surprised.
“That light…!”
The descending blue light clearly held the energy of the fairy kin! It was the fairy monarch that had hidden nearby to carry out the Zodiac’s mission.
[Warning! A being with powerful magical energy has appeared.]
[It is infused with the energy of Oblivion.]
[It is a being with an energy similar to a Zodiac.]
When the light finally dissipated, a queen appeared with both her arms spread to the side. She was supposed to carry out her mission, so she wasn’t meant to intervene in anything outside her mission.
However, she could no longer stand back.
[I can no longer stand back and hear my subordinates scream.]
Zzuh-uhng!
Seeing this immense power, Chun Sungjae immediately became guarded.
‘She is the new fairy monarch chosen by the Gemini.’
Light emanated from her eyes. Immense power rolled off the fairy monarch as she looked for Lee Gun.
[Weren’t you looking for me, Serpent Bearer?]
The fairy monarch seemed furious.
[I have appeared in front of you as you wanted. Stop torturing my fellow—]
“Ah! You should have come out a bit faster. I already sliced up every one of them.”
[??!!]
The fairy monarch froze when she saw the tragic scene in front of her. Things that looked like her subordinates were strewn across the ground.
Lee Gun was mottled with blood of various colors, including blue and green. He laughed as he looked toward his feet and saw the fairies crawl slowly toward the fairy monarch.
[O… Oh, Fairy Monarch! You shouldn't have come here! You have to run away…!]
[That’s right! This crazy bastard isn’t a god. He is the devil…!]
Lee Gun’s eyes flashed menacingly as he smiled. “What the hell? I guess a couple of them are still alive.”
The fairies crawling across the ground felt chills run up their spines when they heard his voice.
Lee Gun immediately raised Heaven’s Punishment.
Poo-hahk!!!!
Heaven’s Punishment had transformed into its stage 3 form. He stabbed it toward the fairies as if he was squeezing out lemon juice.
Kwah-jeek!
The weapon had a large spike, and at stage 3, it was taller than a human.
Green liquid flowed down the broad ax blade, and the fairy monarch froze.
Lee Gun ignored her as he lifted Heaven’s Punishment (Stage 3) with one hand. It weighed much more than a car.
Hugo once again placed his hand over his mouth when he witnessed Lee Gun do something deliberately. He heard an ASMR sound of juice being squeezed.
After some time, Lee Gun handed over two glass bottles to the fairy monarch.
“Here. Take this. These are presents for you.”
[Jam made out of fairies (SS)]
- Recovers 50% magical energy
[Marmalade made out of fairies (SS)]
- Recovers 50% magical energy
At a glance, one bottle looked like it held orange jam, and the other one looked like it contained carrot juice.
The fairy monarch lost her mind.
[Ahhhh! My subordinates!]
It was as if the mental attack was the optimal form of attack. The magical energy surrounding the fairy monarch shook.
Lee Gun laughed as if he had been waiting for this. “Sungjae, Yooha, get rid of her.”
The Chun siblings became angry.
“You aren’t our dad, so why are you ordering us?”
“That’s right! Only one person in the world can give orders to us! We only serve our dad…!”
Lee Gun tried to hold back his laughter.
Hugo gripped his face as if he wanted to die. “Children! It’s fine! Hurry up and get rid of her!”
As soon as Hugo spoke, the Chun siblings dashed forward.
“Dad told us to do it!!!”
“Let’s hurry up and get rid of her!!”
They rushed toward the fairy monarch. However, the fairy monarch wasn’t going to take this lying down. She extended her hand.
Kwah-jeek!
[Ahhhhk!]
[Oh, king— Kuh-huhk!]
Lee Gun found the survivors, and he wouldn’t let them attack. He once again used the extraction process on the fairies.
Kwah-jeek! Kwah-jeek!
This time, the fairies were juiced right in front of her, and the fairy monarch’s mind was completely destroyed.
Lee Gun’s ASMR attack seemed very effective. The Chun siblings’ attacks effectively hit the fairy monarch.
[Kuh-huhk!]
Kwah-jeek!!!
Chun Yooha’s scythe was in its stage 2 form, and it split apart the fairy monarch’s body.
[Rage Revival buff has increased the attack of Death.]
Death was influenced by rage. Therefore, Chun Sungjae was sure how his buff would affect his older sister.
Kwahng!!
[Ahhhk!]
Light erupted from the split body of the fairy monarch. The fairy was exterminated.
[The user of Oblivion has fallen.]
The fairy monarch had received the order from her Zodiac, and she was the user attracting the power of Oblivion to this place. To be precise, she was the medium.
That was why after her death, the power of Oblivion started to go awry.
“The fog is disappearing…!”
The fog had been as thick as though it was smog.
Hugo let out a sigh of relief when the fog started to slowly dissipate. That wasn’t all. The faces of the Chun siblings brightened when a core appeared from the fairy monarch’s body.
“Dad! We did it!”
“Praise us!”
“Really? You want him to compliment you?”
“Stay out of this, Hyung! I didn’t say I wanted a compliment from you, Hyung.”
“That’s right. You’re weaker than dad, so why do you keep saying dumb stuff—”
At that moment, the angry Chun siblings suddenly turned their heads, an odd expression appearing on their faces.
“I said something dumb?”
“…”
Their faces stiffened when they saw Lee Gun.
Lee Gun grinned. “Understood. I’m weaker than your dad, so I’ll just rest.”
As soon as he spoke those words, a wail rang out.
“Ahhhhhhk!!!!”
It was a wail that made it seem as if the sky was falling.
Hugo was thankful that his eardrums remained intact.
Finally, the Chun siblings screamed, about to slam their heads on the ground.
“W-We have sinned gravely!!”
They had realized what they had done up until now.
“Ahhhk! We fail as Zodiac Saints!!”
“I’ll immediately end this useless life!!!”
The Chun siblings cried out as if they really were trying to kill themselves. They started looking for a place where they could throw their body off from.
Lee Gun calmed them down as he approached the fairy monarch. “It’s fine. It happened all because of Oblivion. To be honest, your dad is the weird one. Thanks to him, I was able to end this without losing my power.”
“!”
Both siblings whipped their heads toward Hugo.
“Dad….”
“Why? Why were you fine??”
“Why was he fine? The condition for Oblivion was a faith of 500%, and he had a faith of 600%. You guys have 300% and 400% faith.”
“?!”
The Chun siblings were shocked. Of course, 300% and 400% were almost impossible figures too. However, that wasn’t important to them.
“H-How is 600% possible—”
Suddenly, both of them stopped speaking. As if they had an important realization at the same time, they seriously grabbed Lee Gun.
“Hit us!!!!!”
“Uncle!! Swear at us!!!!”
“No. Ignore us!!!”
“??!!” Hugo’s eyes turned round.
The two fanatics didn’t care as they looked for a convenience store.
“Alcohol! We need alcohol!”
“That’s right! We need liquor with high alcohol content! Noona! Let’s go buy some vodka!!!”
“Hey!! Chun Sungjae! You‘re underaged!!!”
In response to his dad’s angry shout, Chun Sungjae angrily replied, “Who cares if I’m underaged? I’ll be able to buy it if I buy a fake ID!!!”
“Hey! That’s not the problem!?”
Chun Sungjae became quiet only when Lee Gun said firmly that he shouldn’t get a counterfeit ID.
The siblings soon grabbed their father’s arms.
“Dad. I really respect you…!”
“Dad. You’re awesome. I really respect you…!”
Hugo despaired when he saw a look that he had never seen before from his children. It was the words he always wanted to hear, but the reason they respected him for…
‘Should I laugh or should I cry?’
Well, it didn’t matter.
Sssssk!
“The fog…!”
The dissipating fog finally disappeared for good.
When they checked articles on their phones, they were surprised.
“Uncle’s name is back!”
However, Lee Gun’s existence had returned to only East Asia.
“There must be another user calling in Oblivion. Unless I kill that person, I won’t be able to completely escape the fog of Oblivion.”
“They must have summoned multiple fairy monarchs.”
The Chun siblings had told Lee Gun that they would take care of them.
“Wait.”
“!”
“I was able to break the mind of the fairy monarch here, so you were able to defeat it easily. The same method might not work on the others”
“Then….”
Lee Gun took out something from the fairy monarch’s body. “It has a Bible. I’ll call Guisoon. She’ll help you…”
Lee Gun furrowed his brows when he took out a tablet from the fairy monarch’s body.
Hugo was surprised when he felt the oddness of it.
“Wait a moment. It looks similar, but it isn’t a bible.”
“It isn’t a bible?”
“Yes. That’s a Commandment.”
“!!”
The Chun siblings were surprised.
“The Commandment looks like the Bible, but it’s an item of the unknown civilization. Why does someone from a Zodiac’s side have it?”
“Of course, it isn’t the Zodiac’s item. It’s from the side of the monarch that they are cooperating with.”
“Isn’t this proof that they are tied up with each other?”
However, Lee Gun furrowed his brows. “I’m not sure. I don’t think it’s from the unknown civilization.”
“What?”
“I’ll just have to test it out.”
“Test?”
Lee Gun took out a fountain pen.
[Young Secretary’s Sadness (S)]
- Maker: Lee Gun
It was a fountain pen he made by hammering Guisoon’s data into it. He had made it in case he needed to fix something in his Bible. Of course, it didn’t function as well as a Secretary.
The pen could be used, for instance, when strange words appeared in his bible while Guisoon was passed out from exhaustion.
“If this really is the bible of the Zodiac of Magic, this will work.”
In fact, it might allow him to…
“I might be able to kill the Zodiac from here. I don’t have to search it out.”
Lee Gun fixed something within the bible. The bizarre phrases he wrote headed toward the Zodiac of Magic.
