What popped out from inside was none other than a human hand.
Whoosh!
And everyone was startled by the menacingly flying hand and leg.
“A, a torn corpse?”
Thanks to that, the Singungjwa holy disciples who had brought the slime were flustered.
Of course, before dragging it here, it was true that the slime had happily devoured the prisoners.
“What we put inside was definitely a living person…!”
“No way, did the slime digest them in that time…!”
Of course, normally they would think that couldn't be, but the opponent was none other than Lee Geon's slime.
It was a creature that, resembling its damn master, could cause any kind of trouble.
So they had no choice but to be flustered.
“Hey! It's the only clue!”
But unlike his panicking subordinates, Hyugo fiercely narrowed his brows.
“Move aside.”
Had he noticed something?
Hyugo pushed his men aside and stuck his hand into the slime's mouth.
But at that moment.
‘!’
An unexpected item also popped out from inside.
Whik!
“……!”
And what popped out this time was a horse-shaped statue!
“Ah…!”
Hyugo's gaze involuntarily followed the white statue.
That was only natural.
‘The Singungjwa Bible Original Text!’
Indeed. That was no ordinary statue.
Though it looked like an ordinary horse statue, it was an original text carved with the history of Singungjwa, one by one.
Naturally, as a saint, an object that must be protected at all costs!
Thanks to that, the flustered Hyugo instinctively reached out his hand.
And right at that moment.
As if aiming for that.
[Movement of the Shadow]
Without missing that instant, someone burst out from inside.
Bang!
“!?”
A black something disappeared before their eyes.
A slim figure had escaped between them.
“Ah!”
It was tremendous speed.
In an instant, even Hyugo lost sight of it.
So, honestly, it was to the point of being flustered.
‘No matter how much they stole his gaze.’
To disappear from a saint's sight, it's no ordinary speed.
Thanks to that, even Lee Geon admired.
“Oh. Not bad.”
However, unlike Lee Geon who was leisurely admiring, Hyugo looked very flustered.
That was only natural; with this speed, they were obviously not an ordinary human.
‘High-level awakener.’
Well, if it's Seogigwan, it's fully possible, but the point that surprised Hyugo was elsewhere.
‘The Scorpio Throne!’
Indeed.
The Scorpio Throne, fitting the name of the Thief Throne, boasts the fastest speed among the 12 Thrones.
And Seogigwan was currently using the power of the Scorpio Throne.
But that's why Hyugo was flustered.
‘No way, is Seogigwan a holy disciple of the Scorpio Throne?’
This was a tremendous matter.
Why?
‘There's no way Seogigwan would follow a Throne!’
Indeed.
They were those who had awakened by receiving God's grace, but eventually betrayed God.
Thanks to that, they were hunted with the added charge of being offensive to the retinue gods.
But right now, that wasn't important.
“Toward the lady's hospital room!”
“?!”
The black figure was heading toward the private room.
The flustered Hyugo and the Singungjwa holy disciples raised their bows.
But.
[The foolish suns kneel under the true sun.]
“?!”
Along with a familiar voice, all the Singungjwa holy disciples kneeled.
Thud!
“Argh!”
“That thing again!”
The disciples gritted their teeth.
Moreover, this time the intensity was stronger. As if a press was crushing down, it pressed down even their backs and heads.
“Urgh…!”
And as they barely held on with their arms to not be completely crushed, a laughter struck their right ears.
“Hahaha! All of you are four-legged beasts. As expected, those who follow God are all fools!”
The long-haired figure mocked Hyugo's group and disappeared.
Being able to make even a high-and-mighty saint kneel must have been quite satisfying.
In the end, Hyugo, forced to kneel with strength drained, gritted his teeth.
Just like the horse statue that flew earlier.
“As expected, they had the Singungjwa Bible Original Text…!”
That's why such a thing is possible.
And the original text was not just the one they threw just now.
‘It is one of 17,838 pieces.’
In fact, the Singungjwa original text that flew over was a different passage from the one just used.
‘How did they get something from the Singungjwa sanctuary.’
Anyway, as long as the opponent has that, Singungjwa cannot do anything.
But right at that moment.
“Ah, fool.”
As soon as the words fell, Hyugo's vision went black.
Simultaneously, the sound of the hospital wall breaking echoed!
Crash!
“Heok…!”
Without warning, Hyugo was kicked by Lee Geon and sent flying, coughing blood.
At this, Hyugo clutched his head and leaped up.
“You brat, what the h…!”
“Can you move now?”
“!”
Hyugo was surprised to realize the force that had been crushing him disappeared.
Because the spot Lee Geon kicked him to was a spot where sunlight didn't reach.
It was to neutralize Seogigwan's power.
Because the earlier passage was that.
Well, if that was the case, it would've been nice if they'd just drawn the curtains politely.
In the first place, he's not a personage who would show such kindness. Even more so, he's definitely not one to care whether this place is a hospital or not.
In the end, just as he was about to say something, Hyugo was startled.
“Kyaak!”
Because a scream came from the direction of the hospital room.
“An intruder in the private room!”
“What? There's only one person there right now!”
At the nurses' rushing voices, murderous intent surged in Hyugo's eyes.
That place was his wife's hospital room.
‘That bastard.’
Simultaneously, a skill activated.
[Future Prediction – Eye of Pursuit]
Hyugo's eye color changed.
It was the Clairvoyant Eye of Singungjwa.
Fitting for the Hunting Throne, it could see through walls, and above all, for a saint, there was one more special function.
[Future Prediction]
It could see the future 5 seconds later of visible objects.
And the moment that skill activated, he could predict everything in the hospital.
Flash!
Simultaneously, Hyugo found the fleeing target.
The location 5 seconds later was marked like a red person.
And the location of that red person was not the hospital room but the end of the hallway!
There, Seogigwan and his wife were.
It was a scene of Seogigwan threatening his wife with a knife.
And finally, the moment he grasped the coordinates where he would be standing.
Hyugo aimed at the location.
And drew the bowstring.
Twang!
The arrow of the divine bow flew accurately toward only the target, avoiding people.
Boom!
Along with the sound of the explosion, a scream rang out.
The arrow had hit!
Just as Hyugo, with blue murderous intent, headed to the problematic place.
Crash!
“Jiu! Are you oka…!”
But the diligently running Hyugo was flabbergasted.
“!!”
Sizzle!
Lee Geon was holding the arrow he had shot.
And with bare hands at that!
“You…!!”
When they sent a gaze asking if he was crazy, Lee Geon got angry instead.
“Hey, you're dead. What if you shot to really kill?”
“?!”
No, then we should deal with him. He's a guy who even violently escaped!
And although it hasn't happened yet, he was an intruder who was going to attack my wife too!
But Lee Geon nonchalantly picked his ear.
“This is my slave. I have to make them write my Bible until they die.”
“……!”
Hyugo was dumbfounded.
‘Slave? Bible?’
At the same time, he caught on to Lee Geon's intention. He had thought it might be, but was it really his idea to tame Seogigwan?
“Hey! Are you crazy? That's a guy even the holy gods couldn't handle! As long as he comes out this ferociously, if we don't deal with him…!”
“Someone you can't deal with anyway.”
“We can deal with him!”
“What are you saying. When it was blocked by my bare hands.”
At those words, Hyugo was indignant, but at the same time flustered.
‘What? In the future prediction, Geon wasn't there.’
Indeed.
Clearly when he saw the future 5 seconds later, Lee Geon being here was not visible.
So that was why he was flustered.
‘The future of all living humans should be visible.’
It was something that was clearly visible 20 years ago.
‘Well, even so, Geon's future was always off the mark, but.’
Now it's not visible at all.
Anyway, it was good.
‘Because of Geon, the future where Jiu was attacked disappeared.’
In fact, nothing happened to his wife who was looking at Lee Geon with bright, sparkling eyes.
‘Even with the holy gods' matters, the future had never changed once.’
That moment.
While Lee Geon and Hyugo were fighting.
Seogigwan, who had barely survived, was gritting his teeth and watching for an opportunity.
‘Damn, how did this happen.’
Who is this guy that suddenly appeared, and above all, the side of Hyugo's wife was strange.
‘Why hasn't Seogigwan's ability been working since earlier?’
Seogigwan, at this moment, tried to borrow Hyugo's wife and escape.
He had tried to use memory distortion.
But his ability doesn't work only on that woman?
Anyway, it was good.
‘First, we have to escape.’
I don't know what, but now while they're fighting is the perfect chance!
Just as Seogigwan was sneakily crawling to escape.
Right at that moment.
“Argh!”
Seogigwan, whose hand was stepped on by Lee Geon, screamed.
“You're dead. Where are you escaping to?”
“?!”
At the menacing smile, Seogigwan shuddered.
Because the gaze was closer to a murderer than a hero.
But regardless, Lee Geon called someone.
“Il-nam, I-nam, Sam-nam.”
Along with that voice, a green magic circle rose from the floor.
Flash!
[You called!]
Lee Geon chuckled and held out a paper.
“Stamp it.”
As soon as the words ended, Berserker raised a knife high.
At the same time, an astounding thing happened.
Stab!
“Argh!!”
A knife was driven into the back of Seogigwan's hand.
And as ink, or rather blood, flowed, other retinue gods grabbed Seogigwan's hand and stamped the seal on the contract.
Seogigwan seemed flabbergasted.
“Hey, what is this! No, more than that, what kind of paper…!”
“Hmm? It's nothing special.”
Lee Geon looked at the contract stamped with the palm print and smirked.
“A soul contract.”
“What?!”
“Ah. Slip of the tongue. Missionary contract.”
“……?!”
It's an S-grade contract obtained from Yang Wei before. The one they say was bought for a high price from Kevin of the Contract Throne.
But now it's a soul contract upgraded by none other than the Fairy King, Leriquen, personally.
The terms of the contract were simple.
Enter Lee Geon's Throne.
Be loyal to Lee Geon.
If you lie to Lee Geon, you'll die.
Use only items given by Lee Geon. If not, you'll die.
Work writing your Bible until you die.
And so on, 1,000 items.
Simultaneously, as the seal stamped on the contract flashed, the text of the contract also flashed.
[The soul contract activates]
[Contract complete]
[The soul grade of the contractee is high]
[Some terms are modified]
The text was somewhat softened and changed.
For example, [If you lie to Lee Geon, you'll die] became [If you lie to Lee Geon, your hair will be pulled out] to that extent.
[Use only items given by Lee Geon. If not, you'll die] became [Use only items given by Lee Geon. If not, you'll feel a stomachache that's worse than death] to that extent.
‘Well, I expected it, but he's a guy with more outstanding ability than I thought.’
To think he can soften the terms of a soul contract.
As expected of guys who can even distort and revise the Bible.
But what does it matter.
‘This much is fully sufficient.’
As if to prove it.
Lee Geon placed an item in Seogigwan's hand and laughed viciously.
“Here. A gift for joining our holy order.”
“?!”
Joining?
Seogigwan wondered what nonsense that was, but Lee Geon smirked and infused magic power.
‘For a guy who acts up relying only on his ability, a whip is the remedy.’
At the same time, the fountain pen that cannot lie roared.
[Proceeding with the ownership contract]
It was a contract more fearsome than the soul contract.
