Chapter 152 - End of the World (2)
Despite being choked, Lee Gun let out a frightening laugh. Then he shouted.
[Come out.]
He spoke just one sentence. However, it held a low timber that was different from his usual voice.
The tone of his voice was the same as his middle-to-low range, yet those who heard that voice shook. It was as if power was infused into his words. Were they the divine words of power?
The helmeted man felt an intense pressure from a god. He quickly raised his sword.
[You are merely an undeveloped Zodiac, yet you dare use the words of power!]
Lee Gun was a more dangerous sprout than the helmeted man had expected. Of course, the helmeted man didn’t take Lee Gun’s current actions seriously.
[As a Zodiac, you’re probably taking out a Construct! That isn’t much!]
The helmeted man laughed in derision when he saw Lee Gun struggle. He raised his sword.
Koo-goo-goohng!
[!]
A black rift opened in the sky as if it was answering Lee Gun’s call, looking like a rip in the sky.
“Kee-ehhhhhhhk!!”
Then, from the rift came out Red Eye, the enormous calamity that had tainted the whole world with fear twenty years ago.
The disciples’ expressions were a sight to behold.
The helmeted man flinched.
[That is…]
Finally, the roar of the tyrannical calamity rang through heaven and earth. Moreover, this was different from what had happened to the Taurus Saint.
At that time, a small hole had been opened in the sky. And right now, the rift in the sky was expanding accordingly to let through Red Eye.
When the space easily opened up, Red Eye pushed its front paw forward.
Boom!!
Its arm looked like it could lift and throw a whole mountain. Its limbs seemed to be made of steel.
Just the sight of the beast’s head made one’s knees wobble!
As the monster continued to squeeze out, black lightning crackled along its body, which was reddish-black as if it contained lava. Then, there was the tail that looked capable of instantly destroying a city!
Shocked, the helmeted man couldn't believe this.
[That’s the Red Eye, which our monarch was raising!]
He almost lost his grip on his sword in shock.
As for the disciples, they almost fell over when they saw the second coming of the calamity.
This situation couldn’t be compared to the newly summoned dragon and the gray dragon that the helmeted man had ridden here. Of course, they seemed to have a similar aura as Red Eye, but was that really true?
“Kee-ehhhhhhhhk!!!”
When the dragons stood next to each other, Red Eye clearly looked to be on a different level in every aspect, including power, presence, and the fear it elicited.
Just a roar from Red Eye made one feel the fear of death. That was also called the roar that caused silence. Rumors said that Red Eye’s roar would make a baby freeze from fear, and the baby wouldn’t be able to cry.
This could make everyone understand how this monster had almost driven humanity into extinction twenty years ago.
Moreover, it seemed like Red Eye had almost died in that small space.
Red Eye stretched its wings as if it had been waiting for this moment.

“Kee-ehhhhhhk!”
This frightened the Zodiac Saints and the disciples alike. Of all the things Lee Gun could pull out, this wasn’t it!
“Have you lost your mind? What have you just released?”
The mere presence of Red Eye was a terror to humanity. Its energy was so vast that humans couldn’t handle that.
“Half of the earth will be destroyed if you release it by mistake!”
The monster was a double-edged sword. That wasn’t all.
‘When Giselle called it out, it looked like a zombie…’
Yet, for some odd reason, Red Eye seemed to have regenerated skin and body. Were they mistaken? Moreover, it didn’t smell at all like a corpse, as if it had been revived.
However, their surprise didn’t matter. Red Eye’s unique shockwave spread forward.
Boom!!!
The shockwave split the ground, then upended the monsters the helmeted man had summoned.
This baffled the helmeted man. That shape, that power! That magical energy! He became certain. That was the Red Eye.
The helmeted man’s voice shook.
[Why is one of the great calamities our monarch treasures over there?]
Red Eye was a calamity so terrible that the unknown civilization had used it as the spearhead to humanity’s invasion. Moreover, its official name was “Fear.”
This monster was one of the four great calamities especially cultivated by the monarchs. It was the most treasured one amongst the four. Among its siblings, it was the fastest-growing one. And the monarchs treasured the abilities that it possessed.
Therefore, the humans killing it had been a painful blow; they had attacked in secret when Red Eye was in the process of storing its power.
Which Zodiac Saint had been responsible for timing the attack was unknown, but they had picked the absolute best time. This was a well-discussed topic amongst them, but that didn’t matter.
The important part was the fact Lee Gun had called forth Red Eye.
[Speak! Why do you have our monarch’s treasure?]
Hearing the shocked voice, Lee Gun mockingly laughed even as his neck was being squeezed. “What? What’s wrong with me having something that belongs to you guys?”
[You… you bastard!]
The flustered helmeted man tried to stab his sword into Lee Gun’s body, but…
Kwahng!!!
[Koohk!]
Red Eye’s hand came down next to the helmeted man as if it were saying he shouldn’t touch Lee Gun. Or maybe it was simply expressing its complaint.
“Kee-ehhhhhhk!!”
After it had exited space, Red Eye’s face was full of complaints. It had been trapped in there, so it was hungry. The only food Lee Gun tossed toward it was the Taurus Saint. However, the Taurus Saint possessed the strongest defense.
Red Eye had kept chewing on him, but his meat was so tough that the process was unsatisfactory. In the end, the Taurus Saint was so tough that Red Eye had spat it out.
That was why Red Eye was starving, and it roared, saying it was hungry. Its cry was also filled with loud protests.
The corners of Lee Gun’s mouth rose. “Eat everything except the humans.”
“Kee-ehhhhhhhk!!!
As soon as it received permission, Red Eye roared and attacked the monsters.
Kwahng!!
Its teeth instantly snatched the monsters.
“Kee-ehhhhhhk!”
That wasn’t all. The monsters seemed to know who was attacking them. Even as Red Eye snatched them away, they didn’t attack; they let Red Eye bite them. They seemed to have realized it had been their leader twenty years ago.
Kwah-jeek! Kwah-jeek!

At this point, the helmeted man was baffled.
[What the hell is it doing?]
Red Eye was one of the four great calamities. These four calamities’ origins were different from those of other monsters. These four were undoubtedly in the divine rank.
In other words, Red Eye wasn’t related to the monsters, and it liked to eat meat. This wasn’t out of the ordinary.
[You are on our side! Do you plan on betraying our monarch?]
However, the helmeted man’s voice wasn’t able to reach the excited Red Eye.
Kwahng! Kwahng!
[Prisoner no. 3 (Status: Vicious because hungry) is eating the monsters to satiate its hunger.]
[Prisoner no. 3 is affiliated with the Serpent Bearer.]
[It allows the eaten monsters to be converted into EXP. The EXP is rolling in to the Serpent Bearer]
[It is converted to contribution as a tribute.]
[This is enough to be considered an achievement.]
[Since this is accepted as an achievement, would you like to name Prisoner no. 3?]
“Yong Yong.”
[“Prisoner no. 3” has received the name “Yong Yong.”]
[Yong Yong(Status: Annoyed) has been attacked.]
[It is recovering as the Serpent Bearer’s Super Regeneration influences it.]
[Yong Yong (Status: Happy about a lot of food) continues to alleviate its hunger.]
In the end, looking angry and bitter, the helmeted man swung his greatsword. His attack made the black magical energy travel like a gale.
Kwahng!
Hit by the gale, Red Eye turned its head as if it were angry. Who dared interfere with its meal time? Red Eye’s cheeks had been full, and due to the attack, monsters had fallen out of its mouth.
However, Red Eye flinched when it turned its head. It seemed to have recognized the helmeted man.
Murderous intent came from the helmeted man as his sword oozed a chaotic energy.
[Have you already forgotten about your owner?]
Red Eye was surprised for a moment.
This helmeted man was one of the loyal subjects that served Red Eye’s owners. If the human world had the Zodiac Saints, their side had the generals.
The helmeted man bared his teeth.
[How can I tell our monarchs about this truth?]
The words seem to have shocked Red Eye. It opened its mouth. At the same time, the monsters it held in its mouth like acorns fell.
Red Eye had become nervous at the mention of the monarchs.
The helmeted man laughed at its reaction.
[Yes. That is how you should behave. If you realize who your owner is, you should start moving accordingly.]
In the end, Red Eye became self-conscious, and it thought about trying to attack humanity. But…
“I’ll kill you.”
“?!”
Red Eye froze when Lee Gun’s voice rang out.
Lee Gun’s eyes flashed even as the helmeted man held him. “You can try to go to the one that is far away, and I’ll beat you for it. Or do you want to get beaten by me right now?”
Red Eye started to shake. It could clearly remember Lee Gun killing it inside the tower and that too thousands of times. That wasn’t all. Outside the tower, Lee Gun had beaten it again and again. As a result, it had given up and became a prisoner!
The helmeted man sneered. He made Lee Gun’s words seem inconsequential.
[What the hell are you spouting? You are a low-rank god. Do you think you can really be compared to our monarch? Do not question the loyalty of the faithful beast!]
At the same time, the helmeted man let out a wild magical energy.
[Do you think it’ll move because you spoke? Become a tribute to our monarch!]
Suddenly…
Kwahng!!!
The helmeted man, who was about to cut Lee Gun’s neck, was sent flying.
[Kuh-huhk…!!]
It was Red Eye. Red Eye had hit the helmeted man with its tail.
The helmeted man looked to have taken significant damage. He vomited blood. Then, he glared at the Red Eye.
[What is the meaning of this?]
Red Eye bared its teeth as if to warn the helmeted man to not mess with Lee Gun.
Surprised, the helmeted man raised his sword. Red Eye was the treasured pet of the monarchs. Even he would have trouble facing off against this monster.
[Are you saying it is fine for me to tell the monarch about what you are doing?]
Red Eye looked like it didn’t really care as it slapped the helmeted man.
“Kee-ehhhhhk!!”
The fist close by seemed scarier than the fist that was far away.
Of course, the helmeted man had restrained Lee Gun. However, Red Eye couldn’t understand why Lee Gun had been allowing the helmeted man to hold him.
After being freed, Lee Gun got up. His eyes flashed. “You did well, Yong Yong. I’ll give you a reward. I’ll give you plenty of food.”
“Kee-ehhhhhk!!!”
Red Eye roared as if it were happy. As expected, it had made the right decision in switching owners.
“Also, I’ll only cut off your tail to use.”
“Kee… Kee-ehhhk??!”
Red Eye’s tail curled up.
This sight left the Zodiac Saints and the disciples dumbfounded.
‘That crazy bastard!’
They wondered if what they were seeing was real.
“Did… did Uncle just train Red Eye?”
“As expected of Uncle…”
Hugo was taken aback for an entirely different reason. Red Eye had been the reason Lee Gun had died. Hugo couldn’t believe Lee Gun was about to use the main culprit that had killed him.
‘He really has the nerve to do that…!’
At that moment.

[Koo-oohk…!]
Lee Gun approached the helmeted man, holding something in his hand.
