Chapter 125 - 30 Hours Before Invasion (3)

[The Libra Saint and the others aren't picking up my call. Please! Without you, my holy ground will…]

Lee Gun replied with a single sentence. “You should jump in the ocean and just die.”

[…!]

The reply shocked the person on the other side of the phone. He was so taken aback that he was unable to speak. However, the surprise lasted a moment. It seemed the meaning behind his words hadn't broken through. The other person changed his approach.

[A hundred million civilians are currently within my holy ground. They'll all die without you…]

“That's none of my business. You guys can become fish food for all I care.”

Lee Gun's opponent seemed to be at a loss for words. He didn't speak. He had never seen Lee Gun display this attitude before.

If one asked whether Lee Gun was an easy pushover, the answer was: he wasn't. However, Lee Gun unexpectedly didn't like civilians getting hurt. He wouldn't even wait for the Zodiac Saints; he killed the enemies as soon as possible. 

Lee Gun didn't even use to care about his body taking damage. It was secondary to him saving the hostages. 

Therefore, the Pisces Saint had assumed Lee Gun had a personality that couldn't pass by when people were in danger. 

It seemed Lee Gun read his thoughts. He said with a laugh, “At the time, I hated to see you guys treat human lives as business. That was why I did that.”

[…!]

“You should protect your holy ground. Why are you asking someone else to do it? I didn't think you were like that, but you're totally a bully.”

[That's not it—]

“You called me out of nowhere, and you want me to save your family first? What's up with that?”

This made the other person flinch. A groveling tone appeared in his voice.

[Gun, I'm really sorry! I was desperate, so I didn't realize I—]

A menacing look appeared in Lee Gun's eyes. “Gun? Fuck off! How dare you use my name like that? Are you my friend?”

It seemed Lee Gun's cold voice surprised the other person. Now that he thought about it, Lee Gun hated when other people referred to him as Gun.

This meant he didn't want the Pisces Saint to pretend they were close. It was also why the Pisces Saint prostrated himself in front of Lee Gun.

[Lee Gun… No, Lee Gun-nim. I'm sorry for contacting you like this! I should have visited you beforehand.]

Lee Gun laughed in contempt. He had no plans of dragging this call out for long. “What will you give me in return?”

[I'll give you everything you want. Just say it…]

“I want your life.”

The sound of the phone falling could be heard. 

Lee Gun didn't care as his eyes flashed. “I've always been curious about it. I wonder if I can use a Zodiac Saint as an ingredient for a weapon.”

[?!]

“Your request has been received.”

[W-Wait a moment—]

Click!

Lee Gun mercilessly ended the call. He had said he would grind up a Zodiac Saint to create a weapon. 

When the brutal call ended, the one to speak up in the frozen room was Hugo. “I'm not going to use that weapon.”

“I won't give it to you in the first place.”

“…!”

At the same time, Hugo asked Lee Gun while entering his son's new room, “What's going on? Wasn't that the voice of the Pisces Saint?”

The Pisces Saint was a magician Saint second only to the Gemini Saint. The Gemini Saint was like a magician that dealt with magical engineering. She gave off the feeling of an academic. The Pisces was like a druid. He gave off a feeling of nature.

That was why it was called the natural sciences and liberal arts of the magic community.

Since these two magician Saints possessed opposite dispositions, the two of them didn't get along at all. The Gemini Saint represented the Two-faces. At a basic level, she wanted to control the elements. She had a propensity for destruction. 

On the other hand, the Pisces Saint was like a fish that couldn't live without water. He wanted harmony. Seeing them close to each other would be the unusual thing.

Moreover, the Pisces Saint suffered from laziness, and he was a hikikomori. He never appeared in front of the masses. In fact, he had gone off the grid in the past five years. That was why the member of the Ten Stars under him was having all sorts of trouble.

“Why would he call you directly? It makes no sense!”

“It seems he's that desperate.”

Of course, it was out of the ordinary. The Pisces Saint was famous as the Shape-Shifting Saint. He was also famous for his Taming skills and powerful seals. His powerful taming magic and transformation magic meant he could temporarily turn the monsters into allies.

That was why he was a Saint who rarely took damage. A mere monster invasion shouldn't have made him call Lee Gun so desperately.

In the end, it didn't matter.

“It's fine. I'll take his head and acquire his holy ground.”

Hugo clicked his tongue. “Are you sure it'll be fine? The Taurus Saint's territory is next to it. You don't get along with him.”

Lee Gun smirked as if Hugo were talking nonsense. “It doesn't matter at all.”

“What? What do you mean?”

Instead of answering, Lee Gun used his skill.

[You are using the Missionary skill.]

[You can choose 2 options.]
