Chapter 402 - That's not what I meant (2)
In truth, Lee Gun had made all kinds of preparations for Abyss’s arrival. “Mmm. There might be a fight, so I’ll have to strengthen the defensive barrier.”
A monarch would be visiting him, but it was merely coming over for a night snack. Moreover, it was targeting only him, so the probability of a large-scale battle occurring was low.
‘I won’t let that happen in the first place.’
However, his opponent was a monarch. If he did something it didn’t like, Abyss might lash out in anger.
If that happened, Lee Gun just had to shut it down. It wouldn’t be a big deal except for its size. Abyss was massive, so a fight with it could destroy the building, and there was a high probability that it would cause a commotion.
‘If that happens, everyone will be worried.’
Just the mere news that a monarch had invaded again could frighten humanity. This was why it would be best that the public didn’t know that Abyss had reappeared.
“Alright. I put a barrier up so that no one can come in. I’ll have to strengthen the soundproof barrier too.”
Lee Gun had acquired defensive skills when he had absorbed the Taurus temple. He placed all of them over the entire building.
Flash! Flash! Flash!
‘Also, that idiot is making me worried.’
Lee Gun furrowed his brow as he thought about Hugo. In truth, he had believed Hugo because of his faith. So when Wind stated that the absolute value of faith could be manipulated as well, Lee Gun’s trust in Hugo had hit rock bottom.
Lee Gun clicked his tongue in annoyance.
‘Whatever. I’ll just get rid of him if need be.’
He dusted off his hands as he looked at the enormous pile of fried chicken. If he could get Abyss to get addicted to the taste of chicken instead of his body, he might be able to train it. This was why he was hopeful as he ordered delivery of late-night snacks. He had prepared everything if things turned out bloody.
“What the hell? Why isn’t that bastard coming?” He had waited for a long time, yet Abyss hadn’t come.
When midnight passed, Lee Gun was annoyed. “Whatever. I waited as long as needed.” He turned off the lights and went to sleep.
It was unclear as to how long had passed.
[Are you sleeping already?]
Someone approached him and spoke.
Lee Gun assumed it was Abyss. This was why he let his annoyance known. “Do you realize what time it is? Why the hell would you show up now for a midnight snack—”
Lee Gun flinched. Smooth hands were probing his body, and blue hair spilled atop him.
He saw a gorgeous, naked woman.
[As promised, I am here to eat you.]
Abyss had come to meet Lee Gun.
‘This bastard was female!!’
Lee Gun was in a state of mental panic when he realized the woman’s identity.
Abyss was a whale! That was the form that Lee Gun had known until now! He had vividly seen the crazy whale acting as though it had been at a buffet. It had gone crazy in Olympus. So what the hell was this?
Abyss seemed oblivious to this. She happily whispered near Lee Gun’s ear.
[I never expected you to agree so easily.]
‘If I knew eating me had such a meaning, I would have never agreed to it!!’
[I don’t mind, but I thought you would have a problem with getting together with a monster.]
‘Why the hell was the notification silent? Why didn’t it warn me about this situation!!!’
It had always given him a caution or a warning as if it was a worried parent, so why was it silent now?
Lee Gun was angry, yet the notification remained silent.
‘!’
At that moment, Abyss started to take off Lee Gun’s clothes one by one. He didn’t even have the time to stop her as his shirt was brushed aside. A cold yet gentle finger touched Lee Gun’s firm body.
‘?!’
Soon, her hand started to wander toward the no-go zone.
Lee Gun screamed as he grabbed Abyss’s arms and bared his teeth. “What the hell? Why do you look like that? Have you lost your mind?”
[What? I told you I was going to come and eat you.]
“I didn’t know you meant it that way! In the first place, why are you doing this to someone you consider prey?”
Abyss tilted her head in puzzlement.
[Cluders like to eat. We also like to do it. We are overflowing with an appetite for food and lust.]
Lee Gun’s expression was a sight to behold.
Abyss didn’t seem to care as she smirked.
[Of course, the best is to satisfy both at the same time. That’s why I normally do the deed before I eat my prey, or eat while I do it. Didn’t you agree because you knew this? That’s why I came in the form I’m most confident in.]
Lee Gun looked at her as if something was wrong with her. It also seemed his words weren’t getting through to her. “Also, you are female??”
[Mmm. I changed into a form that I thought you would like. You don’t like it?]
“…?!!”
Abyss was impatient. She tried to escape Lee Gun’s arms. She wanted to eat right now.
[Well, others do get confused because I normally spend my days in my battle form.]
Battle form??
When she saw Lee Gun’s expression, she laughed instead of answering him.
In truth, Cluders had two forms. The first was what the humans called monsters. It was the monster form, called the Battle Form.
The other form was the Hunting Form, which was closer to the gods or humans in appearance.
In other words, it was a version that made them attract prey through beauty and handsomeness.
This appearance either tempted or brought down the guards of their prey. It was used to eat humans and gods. They were like succubuses and incubuses.
Abyss looked at her beautiful naked body as she spoke.
[I like this form because it attracts a lot of prey. However, I cannot eat a lot in this form, and I’m limited to eating only male prey. That’s why I eat everything in my battle form.]
“….”
[Mmm. As the greatest hunter amongst us, Eternal Change can probably eat both men and women. He can’t be satiated, so he can continuously eat…. I might not look it, but I do have a high taste.]
“….”
When Lee Gun’s expression continued to worsen, Abyss smiled in a satisfied manner.
[Anyway, I won’t kill you. I like you, so I’m going to take my time eating you.]
Was she crazy??
In the end, Lee Gun came to his senses and tried to escape from Abyss. However, she was extremely strong. It was expected of a being that ate gods, but that didn’t matter in the end.
Boom!
[!]
Lee Gun instantly flipped Abyss and pressed down on her.
Abyss looked stunned.
[Do you plan on taking the initiative?]
“What?! Stop talking nonsense….”
[Mmm. This feels like I’m being eaten, and I don’t like that. Alright. I’ll make an exception for you.]
“Fuck off! I don’t need...”
[I’m not sure you can do it since you’re a virgin.]
“What did you just say?!!!” An angry Lee Gun reached out toward Abyss when…
As Lee Gun attacked, Abyss let out an embarrassing sound.
[Ahhng. Not there!]
When she moaned, Lee Gun felt like he was having a mental breakdown. However, Abyss seemed to have purposefully aimed for this moment. She immediately put Lee Gun on his back. Then she smiled as she spoke.
[Just let me teach you. Didn’t you put up a strong barrier because you wanted to do this? No one will be able to come in here.]
That wasn’t the reason he had put up the barrier.
Lee Gun tried to bring down the barrier.
‘!’
However, Abyss grabbed Lee Gun’s face gently, yet her strength was immense. She was trying to kiss Lee Gun.
Kwah-jeek! Kwah-jee-jeek!
[Huh?]
Suddenly, the building’s barrier, which should be impossible to break, started to crack. The sound of glass breaking rang out as Lee Gun heard familiar voices.
“Uncle!!!”
“Gun!”
He heard his niece, nephew, and Yeonwoo coming up from the lower floor. Then they clearly saw it.
A naked Abyss had climbed on top of Lee Gun’s body and was about to kiss him. This angered them.
“How dare a monster try to jump Uncle?!”
Lee Gun greeted them. “I’m glad you guys are here. First, get rid of the dangerous—”
“Uncle is ourssssssss!!!”
“Uncle’s first is mineeeeeeeee!”
“….”
It seemed they were more dangerous than Abyss.
Lee Gun particularly beat down Chun Sungjae. He hadn’t called for them, yet they had all gathered here.
It left him puzzled. “Whatever! How did you guys know to come up here?”
“We heard the notification!”
“!”
Yooha brought out her chaotic red spear.
As Constructs of the Serpent Bearer temple, they had suddenly heard a notification when they were about to go to sleep. So they had come running in surprise. The content of the notification was simple.
[The Serpent Bearer is baffled.]
[The Serpent Bearer is about to get eaten by Abyss.]
[The Serpent Bearer’s chastity is in danger.]
Lee Gun’s expression became distorted. Why did they get a notification, but he didn’t get any? Anyway, it wasn’t important right now.
“Whatever. Get out of the way. Take your hands off Uncle!”
“How dare a monster do this!”
Lee Gun was somewhat moved by their gesture. “Guys….”
“Change places with me!!”
These assholes…
On the other hand, it seemed the one that was the angriest was Yeonwoo.
“You have no conscience as a monster.” As though she was ready to fight a life-and-death duel, Yeonwoo moved toward Abyss.
Lee Gun spoke up. “You don’t have to go that far, Yeonwoo. We just have to chase her away…”
“Gun!! You shut your mouth!!”
“….”
Yes, ma'am. Lee Gun looked at Yeonwoo as if he couldn’t understand why she was acting this way. His niece and nephew were a given. But he had no idea why Yeonwoo was so angry.
“Ag… I knew this would happen.”
At that moment, Hugo clicked his tongue as he came up. He acted as if he had expected this.
Lee Gun’s eyebrows rose. “What? You knew what she was aiming for?”
“The fact that you didn’t know makes you a bigger idiot— Kuh-huhk!!!”𝑓ree𝑤𝘦𝚋𝐧𝘰ve𝑙. co𝒎
Hugo received a beating.
“You want to die? Traitor! Why didn’t you say anything?”
“What!! I was going to say something, but you were the one who didn’t want to listen to me!! You made me shut up!!”
When Abyss came face-to-face with Yeonwoo and the Zodiac Saints of the Serpent Bearer temple, she looked offended.
[They are humans who don't even possess Divine status, yet they point their blades at me?]
It meant the only one who could kill her was the snake god.
[I’ll eat everyone except the snake god.]
“What?”
[I won’t kill them. I’ll just torment them.]
When she looked into Lee Gun’s eyes, Abyss changed her course of action. She was about to turn back to her whale form when…
[Where are you, my Creator?]
“…!”
When Lee Gun heard the voice once again, he flinched as he turned his head.
Yeonwoo’s eyes turned cold. She had felt the menacing energy of those that had killed her owner.
[The Creator is here.]
[He is here.]
At the same time, suspicious shadows wearing cloaks rushed into the buildings.
Yeonwoo raised her blade because of this.
‘As expected, they are…!’
It was those aiming for the Creators. After Aslan’s death, they had roamed around graves as they madly searched for his corpse. They had even dug out his grave. Also, they had gone missing when Aslan disappeared.
It seemed they had come for Lee Gun. Yeonwoo was sure of it.
Abyss seemed to recognize them.
[Ah. The Evil Gods.]
The Chun siblings were about to activate their skills when the enemies tried to make their move against the Creator.
At that moment, Abyss flashed a mysterious smile as she used her ability. Her Pond ability swallowed up the evil gods who had been approaching Lee Gun. She had sent them to a different location.
Abyss then looked at Lee Gun.
[There are too many distractions here.]
“!”
[Since I sent away those who were aiming for you, you should let me take you to a nice place.]
“It seems you still haven’t come to your senses..”
Yooha, Sungjae, and Yeonwoo were about to approach Abyss when…
Kwahng!!!
“!”
Someone blocked Abyss’s path.
Everyone was surprised by the newcomer.
“Hailey!”
It was unclear if she had come because she knew what was going on. However, Hailey blocked Abyss’s path. For some reason, she looked furious.
“Why are you here?”
[You are Red’s child. You know, I like you, but it seems you’ve forgotten your standing.]
“If you hadn’t gone over to Time, we would have had the same rank. Why are you here?”
[Why else? If you covet something, you have to call dibs on it. If not, someone else will steal it.]
“!”
[Unlike someone who continues to flitter around him, I’m not an idiot who will just watch him.]
Hailey became angry when Abyss spoke as if she was singling her out.
Lee Gun furrowed his brows when he saw this as if he was unable to comprehend what was going on. “Why the hell are they fighting? We just have to chase Abyss away from here. That’s all we have to do.”
Hugo looked at Lee Gun, dumbfounded. “Are you this oblivious?”
“That’s enough, bastards.”
It seemed Abyss didn’t plan on making any concessions. When she approached Lee Gun, he let out a sigh as he tried to use his ability. He planned on sending her to a different land.
Tuhk!
“!”
Abyss had said Lee Gun would be stolen if Hailey didn’t call the dibs on him. It seemed her provocation had worked. Hailey suddenly turned around and firmly grasped Lee Gun’s hand.
“??”
Flash!
“!!”
Hailey and Lee Gun instantly disappeared.
“U-Uncle?!!”
The Serpent Bearer had been kidnapped.
