Chapter 130: Do You Want to Die or Live (3)

The bowstring came undone, and the bow became crooked.

“Huh?!” Hugo screamed. His face turned pale.

Crack!

Something outrageous happened next. The bow that held the light of the fierce sun broke into pieces.

This shocked everyone.

‘The royal holy item!’

It wasn’t called a royal holy item without reason. Even the broken pieces shone like sunlight, a striking scene. However, that didn’t matter in the end.

“Ahk!” Hugo’s mind turned white. ‘Wait a moment! What the hell is this?’

The bow, which had worked fine up until now, had suddenly broken apart, and he had no idea why.

His reaction was understandable. ‘Gun fixed it, so there’s no way it should’ve broken apart!’

Hugo knew Lee Gun’s skill better than anyone. Lee Gun uncharacteristically had a meticulous personality. He had a lot of pride when it came to his items. Therefore, he became enraged if his items were destroyed.

That was why the bow itself was not the problem. It was…

‘Shit! Did I put too much power into it because it was a royal holy item?’

A Zodiac Saint could bring out a hundred percent of their power with the royal holy item. Having regained his holy item, Hugo had been overjoyed. He had pulled up all his power for a change. That must have caused a problem.

Right now, only one thought appeared in the Archer Saint’s head. ‘G-Gun will kill me.’

More importantly, he was about to die to this bastard right now!

“Die! Archer!”

As soon as the bow broke apart, the Taurus Saint wildly rushed Hugo.

Koo-goo-goohng!

Right now, the Taurus Saint resembled a bull that had seen a red cape! “Had you surrendered without causing trouble, we would’ve made you an ally as we had great regard for your abilities. However, it seems you really want to die.”

“Fuck?!”

Normally, the Taurus Saint had a rational and level-headed personality. However, when he activated his ability, the light in his eyes changed. A madness entered those eyes. It was as if he couldn’t stand the scene if he didn’t destroy everything around him!

Kwah-gwah-gwah-gwahng!

Then, a brown light emanated from the Taurus Saint’s eyes. Everything in his path was destroyed. It was an incredible amount of power, and he was really fast!

‘Shit!’ Hugo quickly got out of there.

Woosh!

Uniquely nimble as an archer, he quickly climbed the wall. Hugo lightly landed on an air conditioner installed outside the third floor.

Boom!!!

“!!?”

The charging Taurus Saint smashed his fist against the walls of the building.

Crack!

“Fuck! Does he realize how much this building is worth?”

As cracks appeared on the five-story building, the outer windows broke and its foundation shook.

Kwah-gwah-gwahng!

The outer wall of the Archer Saint’s holy ground completely fell. With an incredible sound, the outdoor AC that Hugo was perching on fell as well.

“Shit!”

Hugo cursed as he landed on top of a traffic light. “That bastard only knows brute strength!”

One-third of the Archer Saint’s building lay in ruins.

[A part of your holy ground has been destroyed.]

Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt

[All of your Zodiac’s power is being redirected toward recovery and defense of the holy ground.]

Hugo’s holy ground had withstood attacks by the monsters. So he clicked his tongue when the wall fell.

‘As expected of the three great battle-type temples…’

In terms of battle ability, the Taurus temple was arguably in the top three.

The first was the Leo temple; they were the golden warrior collective who could use every weapon in the world. The second was the Libra temple; they were a collective of magic warriors who could pull out special abilities through contracts and constraints. The third was the Taurus temple; they were a relentless collection of martial artists who charged forward using their absolute defense.

Originally, the Sagittarius temple had been a battle-type temple as well. Having hunters with absolute accuracy, this temple was called the fourth great battle-type temple. They had been ranked last even then.

‘The Taurus Saint is troublesome.’

Amongst the battle-type temples, the Leo temple relied heavily on weapons. That was why they were obsessed with Lee Gun. Moreover, if their weapons were destroyed, their opponents would have some chance of winning. This wasn’t the case with the Taurus temple.

‘Their bodies are their weapons.’

Most disciples within the Taurus temple didn’t use weapons. They were a group that purely fought with muscles.

In fact, the Taurus Saint’s robust arm was enough to destroy Hugo’s royal holy item.

Bbah-gahk!!

Hugo had been standing atop the traffic light when his vision turned black.

“Kuh-huhk!”

It felt like sparks were flashing in front of his eyes. Then, he felt a pain in his firm stomach.

The next moment, Hugo came crashing into a building inside the Archer Saint’s holy ground.

Boom!!

The momentum made him break through the wall on the other side as he fell to the ground.

Boom!

“Huhk…!!”

Hugo vomited blood, then reflexively touched his stomach. ‘Shit! He did this while I received a blessing.’

His ribs were broken, and his internal organs were a complete mess. In the end, Hugo tried to retreat to a different location for a moment.

“Kuhk!”

However, a sharp rebar fell from the sky and pierced his stomach.

Kwah-jeek!

The thick rebar went through his stomach and firmly lodged into the ground. As a Saint rank, Hugo didn’t die immediately. That wouldn’t happen unless his heart or head were completely destroyed. However, he was incapable of moving right now.

‘Shit! The size difference between our temples is too large!’

Hugo’s opponent was the third-ranked Saint with three hundred million disciples.

As brown lightning emanated from his eyes, the Taurus Saint moved closer to Hugo. It seemed he had intentionally missed Hugo’s heart in his previous attack.

“I was surprised when I thought your royal holy item was fixed, but looks like, it wasn’t.”

“No!”

Lee Gun had fixed it! Lee Gun had fixed it, but he had destroyed it once again! Hugo knew that if his friend found out about this, he would get into a rage!

‘Shit! I’ll come up with some excuse!’

This didn’t matter in the end.

“You stupid cow! I’m going to demand compensation for damages, so you better get your money ready— Kuhk!!”

The Taurus Saint sneered as he twisted the steel rebar inside Hugo’s stomach. “I’ll beat you to a pulp until you can’t speak. I wonder if you’ll betray Lee Gun and come to our side then.”

“Fuck off! I’d rather pledge loyalty to the pigeon that shits on my house than join you guys.”

The Taurus Saint had high hopes. That was why his eyebrows twitched. “Is that so? Then I have no choice. I’ll make the new Archer Saint join our side.”

Finally, the Taurus Saint’s fist flew toward Hugo’s head.

Kwah-jeek!

“Kooh?!”

However, a beam of light appeared above the head.

Flash!

The beam of light made the Taurus Saint groan.

“Koohk!”

The Taurus Saint’s fist was deflected as if it had been hit by a hammer.

“What the hell?”

This incredible killing intent surprised everyone. The Libra Saint, who had been watching everything with interest from the sidelines, flinched too.

Soon, a familiar voice rang out. “You guys are pathetic. Are you so bored that you would bully the weak?”

“!”

The one to walk out of the alley was none other than the Virgo Saint Kevin.

The Taurus Saint and the Libra Saint looked taken aback by his appearance. They would’ve never imagined Kevin, of all people, would choose to help Hugo.

In truth, Hugo also looked confused, as if he were asking why Kevin was helping him.

Kevin ignored him as he cut the steel rebar piercing Hugo’s stomach with his sword.

Kwah-gwah-gwahng!

The sword cut the steel rebar like paper, and the rebar fell to the floor.

Then, Kevin tossed Hugo a healing potion and said, “You were punching up beyond your means because Lee Gun repaired your royal holy item. And you broke it like some half-wit.”

“What?! I-I didn’t do it!”

“You stole Lee Gun’s time, yet you lost to the Taurus Saint. The title of a battle-type Saint is wasted on you.”

“What?!”

“You’re an idiot who can’t even earn your keep. You shouldn’t go around telling you’re partnered with Lee Gun.”

“What the hell?”

“Whatever. Just go pick up your broken holy item. I’ll buy some time for you.”

“!”

The Taurus Saint furrowed his brows when Kevin showed signs of attacking. The Virgo Saint was the second-ranked Zodiac Saint.

In terms of the sword, he was the strongest amongst humanity. Him joining Lee Gun’s side would cause a lot of headaches for them.

However, the Taurus Saint soon laughed in contempt. It was clear to see that Kevin’s sleeve was empty. “You are a swordsman who has lost his arm. Your power has diminished, so how dare you—”

Suddenly…

Poo-hahk!!!

Blood erupted from the Taurus Saint’s thick arm.

“Koohk!”

In a flash, his muscular arm went limp. The tendons in his arm had been cut. With bloodshot eyes, the Taurus Saint looked behind him.

Standing there was the laughing Virgo Saint. “If you plan to talk, you should talk through your skills. You’re a douchebag who’s ranked only third.”

“!”

“You’re under me, yet you talk as if you’re better than me.”

The Taurus Saint’s face distorted. ‘As expected of the second-ranked…’

At that moment…

“This is great!”

“!”

The Libra Saint, who had been watching this with interest, burst out laughing. “I planned on looking for you anyway. I’ll now be able to kill two traitors here.”

As soon as she spoke, a terrifying yellow light appeared around her.

Hugo’s and Kevin’s mouths fell open. A gate had opened in the sky.

Koo-goo-goo-goohng!

Constructs poured out of the gate! Kevin and Hugo froze at the imposing sight.

‘Shit! The eighty-eight Constructs!’

All of them hadn’t been summoned, but each Construct could call forth their own familiars. They numbered several hundred. Moreover, each of them was at the Divine rank!

Taken aback by the development, Hugo looked at that Libra Saint. ‘Shit! It isn’t her clone.’

He had thought she wouldn’t enter Lee Gun’s land, so he had assumed she had sent a clone. However, things became clear when she used her abilities.

‘She’s the real deal.’

Hugo ground his teeth. ‘We cannot win if the Libra Saint came here in person.’

Moreover, there was the army of Constructs as well.

When Hugo shook, Kevin scoffed. “Why are you shaking? We just have to call forth our Constructs.”

Hugo looked baffled. “I thought you can’t use your power in Asia. There are almost no Virgo disciples here.”

Kevin glared at Hugo as if the latter were speaking nonsense. “This is the Archer Saint’s holy ground. Of course, you just have to call forth your Constructs as the Archer Saint…”

“I’m sorry, but my holy ground just fell. I can’t call forth any Constructs. That’s why you should take care of them instead of me.”

“?!”

What the hell did he just say?

Hugo snorted. He didn’t care if Kevin was surprised or not. “Moreover, I don’t have my royal holy item, so I can use only 40% of my power. That’s why you should be the tanker.”

That didn’t sound right! Of course, Kevin had come here to help, but that was a bit…

“Are you playing with me? Hurry up and call Lee Gun so that he can fix your royal holy item!”

Hugo blanched. “Fuck! Why would I call someone who’s killing Red Eye! He’s busy! Also, you’re strong! Just shut up and become a tanker! We just have to protect my holy ground!”

“Hey! You just don’t want to call Lee Gun because you broke the bow, right?”

At that moment…

Koo-goo-goohng!

The summoned Constructs locked onto Kevin and Hugo. The Taurus Saint was about to charge forward to break Kevin’s royal holy item.

Flash!

“!!”

However, the Constructs started to disappear as an enormous light sucked them in.

“Huhk…!!”

The light emanated from a building with the Archer Saint’s holy ground!

[Huh-uhk! Master!]

[Ahhhhhk!]

The Constructs screamed as the light swept them up. Everyone’s eyes turned round at their disappearance. The reactions were to be expected. This was the light of a Zodiac!

In the face of the fierce power of a Zodiac, the Constructs lost their powers. They disappeared.

This shouldn’t have been surprising since they were in the holy ground of a different Zodiac Saint. However, there was another reason for the surprise.

‘That’s not the light of the Sagittarius?’

Since this was the holy ground of the Archer Saint, the light that should’ve exploded forth should’ve been the light of the Sagittarius. However, the light that had shown up was green.

‘Serpent Bearer!’

Their surprise lasted only a moment as the next second, the Taurus Saint screamed.

Boohoo-gahk!

The Taurus Saint had planned on killing Hugo and breaking the Virgo Saint’s royal holy item.

However, a ruthless hit sent him flying away. Then, a voice rang out.

“What are you bastards doing in my holy ground?”

A familiar face dropped in front of them.
