BANG!!!!
"You're dead, you son of a bitch!!"
The monster flew through the air from the furious kick.
And everyone was shocked at the face that appeared.
"Uncle!!"
"Igeon!"
It was. The one who had cursed and blown away the monster was none other than Igeon.
And right after Igeon had calmed the rampaging Stage 4 monster.
He seemed to have caught on to the situation here.
As evidence, in one hand, Igeon was holding a cloth-wrapped follower of the Virgo constellation.
It was the follower who had brought tea pudding and ended up blamed for destroying the Star Palace.
And.
“You little bastard, try dying!!”
[Ku-huk!!!]
Igeon, who had blown away the monster, landed on the ground.
He looked at his shed skin, which had been on the verge of having its hair pulled out, and murderous intent blazed in his eyes.
“Bastard, there's a proper way to pull it!!!”
A menacing aura rose from Igeon's body.
It seemed that Igeon's memories from 20 years ago had resurfaced.
It was the time when the more he used his abilities, the more his body deteriorated, and even his hair fell out in clumps.
Sure enough.
“Back then, I bought all the things that were supposedly good and applied them again and again! I ate everything that was good for hair, but it failed, so I ended up shaving it off, aaaah!!”
A murderous glint rose in Igeon's eyes, that wouldn't have been strange if he cried.
“Anyway, I worked so hard to revive it!! And you dare pull it out?!”
“...No, it's thick now.”
The one who answered was Hugo, who had come chasing after Igeon, gasping.
“In the first place, that's just a shed skin….”
But Igeon seemed to feel differently.
Even if it's shed skin, its appearance is undeniably his own!
“I'll wipe those bastards out, sdjkfhsdk#$*#$&*!”
At his rarely seen rage, the Cheon siblings were restless, and Hugo sighed.
After all, being always by his side, he couldn't not know Igeon's anger.
‘It didn't show much, but there was one year when the risk was particularly severe.’
Thanks to that, at that time, he was extorted for money by the Aquarius constellation (?), and how sad he was in front of the mirror.
Anyway, when the risk got so severe that the top of his head flew off, and he even considered shaving his head, he was so depressed that no one could talk to him for three days.
‘But honestly, even when he shaved his head, it suited him.’
In fact, among fans now, there's a costume evolution history called Igeon's Cosmos, and among them, the shaved head period, called the 4th phase, was quite popular and many figurines were made.
And because that was when he had the foulest temper... no, the toughest time, it's one of the times he and the kids like.
But.
[Ku, ku-huk…!! This snake bastard!]
Igeon, who had no way of knowing him, immediately summoned the Heavenly Punishment.
“I'll grind you up and make you into hair tonic.”
It was when Igeon was about to grind up the monster of the [unknown] side with Heavenly Punishment.
“Wait! You can't touch it now!”
“!!”
It was Steven.
And as soon as his shout fell, the monster that had flown away clicked its tongue as if disappointed.
[Quite quick on the uptake!]
But the monster's eyes flashed as if saying it was enough.
At the same time, a massive flash of light spread out.
Igeon immediately stepped back, but it seemed he was slightly touched by the flash.
Sure enough.
“……!!”
Igeon's body, enveloped in light, gradually shrank.
The monster of the [unknown] side that had been hit and flown away had used a trick.
It was the power of [ ].
[Body time reversal]
The monster seemed to have been aiming for this from the start.
Indeed, watching the light envelop Igeon, the monster laughed haha.
[I didn't expect the Snake Master to be here. This is perfect!]
And if it turns him into his pre-awakening age, even Igeon would be an ordinary human!
Of course, because of this power, a considerable amount of magic was consumed, but it didn't matter.
[With that, he won't be able to use the power of the Holy God!]
“Uncle!”
At the familiar sight, the Cheon siblings panicked.
They immediately understood that something had happened to Igeon.
So they hurriedly took something out from their arms.
It was the object that had returned them to normal after being attacked by [ ].
“Wait! We'll return you to normal right away….”
But their eyes widened.
It was because the light disappeared and Igeon quickly took a stance.
“Uncle!”
“Bastard, you're pulling a stupid trick!”
Igeon glared furiously.
But the expressions of those looking at him had changed.
Moreover, this time, even Hugo, Kevin, and even Steven's expressions changed.
There was no helping it.
“Damn, cute!!!”
“????”
Indeed.
Igeon had changed into a 10-year-old appearance.
Hayley, who was about to attack the enemy, froze for a second.
And Cheon Seongjae, who had shouted first, reflexively looked for a camera before realizing.
He realized that, no matter what, this was not the time for that.
And that moment.
[If I take you along with the shed skin, the master will be pleased.]
The monster of the [unknown] side smiled cunningly and tried to kidnap Igeon.
But right then.
“Igeon!”
[!]
Steven snatched Igeon away as if tying a bag of rice.
“!”
And the sight of a muscular giant over 190cm tall hoisting a 10-year-old kid was truly like a rugby player carrying a rugby ball!
Steven gritted his teeth, saying he knew this would happen.
“Damn! Our Holy God almost got done in like this too, so I warned!”
Hugo, who was following, was surprised.
“What? The Lion was hit too?”
“Yeah! That bastard invaded! The kidnapping attempt failed, but there was damage and he turned into a little kitten…!”
“!!”
Hugo was surprised, but Kevin glared.
“Why is that Lion bastard in our sanctuary without permission!! Did you come to start a war!”
“Ah, what nonsense! I came because Igeon called me to make a weapon!”
“What? Why would Igeon make a weapon for you?”
“Why! Because I did a favor for Igeon!”
“What?!”
Kevin was furious.
“Are you kidding?! I do all of Igeon’s requests and he won't even spar with me once! Why, for a bastard like you!!!”
As Kevin tried to strangle Steven shouting to die, and Steven likewise tried to grab him by the collar, Hugo raised his voice.
“Both of you stop it! Is now the time to fight?!!”
The opponent meant that even the Holy God of Leo had been threatened.
‘It's dangerous.’
In the end, Hugo rescued Igeon, who was squirming buried in his clothes.
“Anyway, Hayley! Kids! Turn Igeon back….”
“Move!!!”
“Kuhuk!!”
Igeon, having pulled up his clothes, kicked Steven and Kevin.
The two fell with groans.
At the same time, they couldn't help but be surprised at the strength with which Igeon had sent them flying.
“What, did he just throw us?”
“Igeon!”
If he returned to his pre-awakening age, he couldn't use his powers.
But with the strength of an ordinary human, he absolutely couldn't send an adult flying.
Especially not with the strength of a 10-year-old!
In other words.
“What. That means he didn't lose his strength!”
“What?! I heard Igeon awakened around the age of twenty!”
They weren't the only ones flustered.
‘That's nonsense.’
Even the monster that turned Igeon into a child seemed flustered.
And for good reason, because it saw the menacing dark green light emanating from the 10-year-old Igeon's body.
And there was no doubt.
‘That's the Snake Master's power!’
Because of that, the monster could only gape.
‘Nonsense. How can he use his ability as a child?’
But regardless, the 10-year-old Igeon called the Heavenly Punishment.
“Come!”
At his master’s call, the Heavenly Punishment appeared in Igeon's hand.
And perhaps because its weight was suited for an adult body, Igeon frowned momentarily at the heaviness of the weapon.
But it seemed he could still swing it, as Igeon's eyes flashed.
And.
“Die!!!!!!”
The Heavenly Punishment roared roughly.
The power of [ ] that had risen to the 4th stage mercilessly struck down the monster.
BOOM!!!
A terrifyingly powerful black light engulfed the Virgo sanctuary.
At the same time, everyone screamed and was blown away.
“Kgh…! Wh-what power!”
“As expected of the 4th stage’s power…!”
When they opened their eyes after flying, the Virgo sanctuary was gone.
And the monster that had taken the attack had half of its body blown away.
At that sight, the slime on Cheon Seongjae's head glowed and wriggled, and the Cheon siblings seemed shocked.
“What, Uncle can use his power even when he's young?”
Their suppression of their desires hadn't been in vain.
They had agreed not to use it because if they turned Uncle back to his childhood, he couldn't use his power!
“Uncle can use his power even when he's young… he can use it….”
“…The 4-year-old version must be cute too….”
At the kids' crazed gazes, Hugo raised his voice.
“You guys! Stop having useless thoughts and turn Igeon back quickly!”
And it was then.
[Kgh…!]
The monster of the [unknown] side, only its head remaining, vomited blood.
It had barely avoided instant death by activating the power of [ ], but the power of [ ] was too strong.
‘What is this. The [power] this guy uses should be the power of the previous Holy God Ouroboros.’
His name was Square. He was the butler and left-hand man guarding the [ ] lord.
And he was a talent who had been with [ ] for a long time and even personally selected general-level beings.
He knew better than anyone about the 13th Snake Master that his master was targeting.
So he also knew the limits of the 13th's power.
At the same time, he knew that no matter how strong that power was, it wouldn't work against his lord.
It was certain.
‘Clearly it should be the same power as the previous generation. What... is this difference in power!’
It's like even if the power is the same, the wielder makes the difference in its might.
Or perhaps, it's like the difference between the power borrowed by a follower from the master and the power the original master wields.
‘This guy is no ordinary fellow.’
But that made it all the more necessary to bring this guy to the lord.
‘It's a bit dangerous, but if I call the soldiers….’
But then.
‘……!!!’
Square was greatly surprised upon seeing the slime on Cheon Seongjae's head.
‘That...! Could it be!’
For some reason, Square became urgent after seeing the slime.
‘I must quickly tell this to the master…!’
Finally, as lightning flashed from Square's body, the Virgo followers urgently shouted.
[Little Snake Lord! Be careful! That bastard's forces are unusual!]
[Even the [ ] lord was in his past appearance!]
[It seems like there's some scheme!]
But Igeon sneered coldly.
“Like I care.”
Little Igeon raised the Heavenly Punishment high.
Well, he was curious about what this guy was and what his goal was, but anyway.
‘He's been an enigma since the time at the Demon Tower.’
A guy he tried to figure out but never could.
And finally, it was the moment the Heavenly Punishment struck down on the bastard's head.
Flash!
Was it because the power that had evolved to the 4th stage and the power the bastard was wielding collided?
‘……!’
A strange scene unfolded before Igeon's eyes.
Was it a scene of a wide ruin filled with corpses?
[Ridiculous. Even this isn't enough.]
It was the memory of [ ].
