The Return of the Disaster-Class Hero-Chapter 340: I'm here for you (1)

It was a shocking sight. Yooha’s eyes turned round at the sight in front of her. It was rare for Lee Gun to blink his eyes in surprise like this.

Their reactions were expected since before them were banquet wine, women, and music. They could see a pond made out of alcohol and a mountainous amount of various meat types and dishes…

“Ah-ha-ha! I don’t want to go back home. This is heaven!!”

“Oh-ho-ho-ho! My dear! Please take this glass too.”

A man was sitting among the gold, jewels, and women…

“I’ll be treated as Gun’s minion if I go back to the human world! Why would I go back? Ha ha ha! This place is the best!”

That crazy bastard was doing this?? Lee Gun became angry.

Yes, Hugo was drinking alcohol and eating meat in front of them. He was having a good time. He also had goddesses by his side!!

“Oh-ho-ho-ho, my dear! Why aren’t you eating as much? We got a lot of great alcohol here.”

“Oh, Pushover god!”

“You have 600% Faith. How is such a thing possible?”

“Please show us the way!!”

Everyone on the earth was currently worried about Hugo.

[He was suddenly dragged away to an unfamiliar world!]

[What if he gets tortured there because he is a human?!]

[Gods are known to be cruel…!]

However, the idea of him being tortured after being kidnapped was bullshit.

“Pantheon is the best! I’ll live here for the rest of my life!!!”

Lee Gun’s eyes turned fierce. “What nonsense is this….”

A violent murderous intent emanated from his body. It was the power of Death, which he had suppressed when he reached the Divine world! “I went through hell to get here, yet he’s having a good time with women?”

Anubis, who had been dragged along by Lee Gun, was surprised to see this. He screamed. “Stop! The palace will be destroyed! This is what I told you!! Pushover doesn’t want to go back home…!”

Anubis had already warned Lee Gun multiple times while being dragged along. He said it would be useless even if Lee Gun went to Hugo!

“He has 600% Faith. There is no way we’ll treat him poorly— Kuhk!!!”

Lee Gun stepped on Anubis, who was flapping his mouth.

When Yooha saw her dad having a good time amongst women, she was about to step forward. Unexpectedly, Lee Gun gestured at her to forget it. He stopped her.

“Uncle?”

“Your father isn’t a degenerate like that. I’m sure Hades did something. He might have lost his memories.”

“!”

Amongst Hades’ abilities was a technique called River of Lethe (Forgetfulness). This was something Lee Gun had guessed might happen.

“There is a chance that he’ll try to run away. There is no way Hades would sell Hugo without erasing his memories.”

“Then…!”

“Let’s wait a bit. At this point, I think it’ll be useless even if we take him by force. Let’s be calm and explain the situation first…”

“Ah! Who was my previous owner? He was called Lee Gun. He was a narcissist who was full of himself. He was a masochist virgin— Kuh-poo-huhk!!!!”

“Kyaaaaa!!”

Lee Gun instantly flew through the air to kick Hugo. The thought that he had suggested Yooha a moment ago was nowhere to be found. Lee Gun went crazy as he stomped on Hugo.

“What the hell did you just say? I’m a narcissist who’s full of myself? I’m a perverted masochist? You called me a bad-tempered bald kid?? You want to die?”

“K-Kuh-huhk! Why are you adding more words to what I said— Kuh-huhk!”

The surprised servants quickly tried to grab Lee Gun, but it was useless.

Kwahk

Lee Gun lifted Hugo by the scruff of his neck. “Whatever. Let’s go home, asshole!”

At that moment…

“What are you doing?”

One of the male gods serving Hugo made a gesture with his hand, and something surprising happened.

Ooh-kong!

“!”

A circle appeared under Lee Gun and Yooha, and a deep hole formed beneath them.

[It’s a tunnel that leads outside of Duat.]

[You are being banished.]

After falling into the hole, Lee Gun and Yooha were about to be sent outside of Duat.

However, Lee Gun’s eyes flashed. In a flash, he held Yooha in his arms to jump out of the hole.

The Constructs were surprised by his incredible speed.

Lee Gun angrily looked at Hugo. The look in his eyes hadn’t changed at all despite his daughter and his best friend being in danger just a moment ago.

Hugo coldly said, “I’ll ask them to open a way out of the underworld. Go back. Don’t interfere with what I’m doing.”

Lee Gun’s face hardened. “You really want to live here?”

“It is none of your business. Also, a replacement for me should have been sent to you, right?”

“…!”

“Also, why are you here in the first place?” Hugo laughed as if he was dumbfounded. “I even wrote a letter saying you shouldn’t come here. Did you not understand what I was saying?”

Lee Gun didn’t speak when he heard those words. He scoffed. “Huh.”

His already-limited patience seemed to have come to an end. As proof of this, Lee Gun let out a bright smile. “I see. I have no choice if that’s what you want.”

“Yes. You finally understand what I’m saying. Give my regards to everyone—”

“I’ll head back after I kill you.”

“?!!”

Bbah-gahk!!!!

Lee Gun’s fist landed on Hugo’s face. Then, Lee Gun let out a frightening laugh. “If I can’t take you back, let’s just have your funeral here instead.”

“What— Poo-huhk!! Ahhhhk!!”

Lee Gun struck Hugo as if he were beating up a monster.

Bbah-gahk! Bbah-gahk!

The gods of Duat screamed as though they were watching something unspeakable.

“Kyhhk!”

“Pushover-nim!”

Lee Gun didn’t hold back at all. He was using his power as if he didn’t care if his opponent was a human or a monster.

The only reason Hugo was able to endure the beating was that Lee Gun was controlling his power.

If he killed Hugo instantly, Hugo wouldn’t be able to feel pain. This was why he refrained just enough so that Hugo didn’t immediately fall unconscious. He was beating Hugo to give him maximum pain.

Hugo’s consciousness started to fade, and he became panic-stricken.

‘Damn it! This is completely different from what I was told!’

While this being looked like Hugo, he was an Olympus Construct wearing Hugo’s appearance. He was here under Hades’s orders. He had to pretend to be Hugo and fool all the gods gathered here.

Moreover, he was ordered to tell the snake god to go back home if he came looking for Hugo.

Of course, sending back a god wouldn’t be hard. He just had to wound the snake god’s pride, and the snake god would go back.

“Ok. I understand. You can die here if you don’t want to go. You have no right to see Miss Jiwoo and Sungjae.”

“Koo-huhk! Koo-huh-huhk! Kuhk! Ggoo-ehhk!!”

At this rate, the Olympus Construct would die before the transaction could take place! The Construct vomited blood. He had never expected the snake god to say he’d kill Hugo. The gods who had put Hugo’s appearance on him had placed protective power around his body. This included Hades!

‘Damn it! He is breaking the barrier?’

Something more problematic had to be addressed before that.

‘What kind of psycho beats up his best friend like this!!’

The Construct was sure Lee Gun was letting his rage consume him. There was no reasoning with him.

At this point, Hades’s Construct desperately clutched at Lee Gun. He was supposed to keep his mouth shut, but the Construct realized he might die if things continued. “E-Excuse me!! I have something important to tell you—!”

He was about to say that he was a fake. At the very least, it would let Lee Gun regain his reason!

“Excuse me! I’m a fake!!”

“I know, idiot!!!”

“?!!!”

The shocked Construct screamed as if he felt aggrieved. “Then why are you hitting me?”

“It’s pissing me off that you said those words with that face!!”

What the hell!!!

Lee Gun’s deadly fist, which had sent Red Eye flying before, flew toward the Construct.

Kwahng!!!

Lee Gun’s power was too strong as the protective power around the Construct shattered.

Kwah-jee-jeek!

“K-Kuh-huhk…!”

That wasn’t all.

“Kyahhhk!!! Who the hell is this?”

“Where did Pushover-nim go?”

When Lee Gun beat up the Construct to a pulp, the Construct shed skin shaped like Hugo. It was the Hugo mask that the Construct had been wearing.

With the makeover reversed, the Construct’s true face was revealed.

The Constructs of Duat were shocked at this sight.

“What the hell! He’s a fake?!”

They were the Constructs who had been serving Pushover. Aside from being surprised, they were also angry.

Yooha, who had been in the distance, was also stunned by what she had witnessed.

On the other hand, Lee Gun’s eyebrows rose in anger as he shook off the blood on his fists. “There is no way Hugo will badmouth me when he is drunk.”

The surprised Yooha asked as she approached Lee Gun, “Then the letter written by Dad that Uncle saw…”

She wanted to ask if it was fake.

Lee Gun furrowed his brow. “No. That was Taeksoo’s penmanship.”

Lee Gun recognized Hugo’s penmanship. It was also why he was pissed.

“Everyone fell for it because he’s wearing this.”

“Ahhk!!”

Lee Gun took a familiar wristwatch from the Construct’s wrist.

This surprised Yooha. “It’s the watch that Dad always wore since a long time ago…”

Although it was used as the badge of the Sagittarius temple, this was a precious item that he had received from someone in the past.

Lee Gun put away the watch as he got up.

As he did so, Yooha found an item fallen near his feet. “Something is under you, Uncle…”

Lee Gun immediately destroyed the item using Death.

‘!’

It was the Hugo mask, which had fallen off the Construct’s face.

Lee Gun’s expression became frosty. Although he had only glanced at it, he recognized it. He realized where the mask had originated, and he could tell if it was the real deal or not.

They had created the perfect disguise using the mask and the watch. It was good enough to fool the gods.

“Where is Taeksoo?”

“!”

Lee Gun’s cold voice pierced through the Construct and the gods of Ennead. “I’m pretty sure I heard a sound nearby, but I can’t pinpoint the location.”

Anubis, who had been dragged here by Lee Gun, desperately tried to run away through the door when he heard that.

Kwahng!!

“Koohk!!”

The surging energy of Death pressed down on Anubis. “Where are you going, doggie?”

“…!!”

Anubis gritted his teeth when Death captured him. He had brought Lee Gun to this place for a reason.

‘They were supposed to finish the transaction while I buy time. Is the transaction still ongoing?’

Anubis had immediately alerted his superior when Lee Gun had come knocking. Since Lee Gun’s target was Hugo, Anubis was supposed to keep Lee Gun busy. While he did so, Hugo would quickly be transported to Ennead. Lee Gun would be unable to go there since it was a sealed region!

‘Maybe, the deal hasn’t been finalized yet?’

However, a problem had to be addressed before that.

‘Sound?’

The transaction was supposed to happen on the lowest floor of the palace, the labyrinth. Was it possible that Lee Gun could hear the sound emanating from there? However, Anubis’s surprise lasted only a moment.

“Oh, Messenger of Death. It seems the deal hasn’t even started yet.”

Anubis was dumbfounded when his underling whispered to him. “Why hasn’t the deal gone through yet? The transaction should have started a long time ago!”

“For some reason, the Great Spirit has yet to arrive…!”

Anubis was taken aback. The Great Spirit was always on time. So what happened?

Kwahk!!

“Take me to the place where the transaction is taking place before I dismantle you.”

“There is no way I’ll tell you— Kuhk!!”

When Lee Gun grabbed Anubis’s neck, Anubis’s canine face ceased to exist because of the power of Death. It changed to the face of a human. Moreover, Anubis’s armaments were dismissed by force.

At that moment…

“Gun!”

The gods within Anubis’s shadow sounded flustered when a voice rang somewhere.

[I’m sorry! He suddenly started going berserk at the trading place!]

“What? Stop him right n—”

Lee Gun instantly disappeared.

* * *

While Lee Gun was at the Osiris palace, Hugo was located on the lowest floor.

“Ooh-oop!”

Hugo was at the trading place, being pressed down by the gods. The Constructs were sweating as they were barely able to hold down Hugo.

It was expected since Hugo was a very powerful Construct. Exhausting him was a colossal task.

“Why the hell is he suddenly trying to escape?”

“He was quiet for a while, so why…!!”

“Ooohp!”

A bandage was wrapped around Hugo’s face to shut him up.

“What’s going on? What happened while I was gone?” Hades returned after going outside for a moment. He furrowed his brow as he looked at Hugo. “Did the product do something?”

“No, it’s nothing. It seems he doesn’t want to be sold. For some unknown reason, he went berserk when he heard a sound coming from above…”

Hades snorted as he sat down. “So, when will the Great Spirit of Ennead be here?”

Hades sat down, seeming to be in a foul mood. It was only normal since he had gone into debt. He had to pay for the damages caused by Lee Gun. He also had to pay taxes to the Divine world soon. His home and body were close to being sold to pay the debt.

This was why the completion of the deal was his highest priority.

“Time is gold. I cannot waste any more time. When will he be here?”

“For some unknown reason, our communication with the Great Spirit has been severed… However, the master of the underworld said he’ll come here as a proxy.”

“Ah. I see!”

It didn’t matter if another god came. So Hades was about to speak up.

Kwahng!!!

“Ahhhk!!”

A scream rang out within the trading place. All the gods within the trading place, including Hades, were surprised.

“Who is it?”

Hugo flinched as he started to tremble. The reason was the familiar voice.

“I’m here for you.”
