Returnee’s Life Report-Chapter 87

< A Single King Is Enough (4) >

================================

Lee Ho swung the dagger, but it was blocked by the Godfather’s sword. He then glanced at the blade the Godfather was holding.

“That’s Tosuka’s Sword.”

It was the legendary weapon that, in the myth, had killed Orochi. Takeshi had told Ho that he got that sword from Japan.

“Did Takeshi tell you?”

Lee Ho ignored that question. Instead, he prepared for the next move. Aura was flowing inside Lee Ho. His heart was beating. The golden aura was ready.

You used the skill ‘Rush.’ ] [ You used the skill ‘Haste.’ ]

[ You used the skill ‘Enhance Strength.’ ] [ You used the skill ‘Concentration.’ ]

[ You used the skill… ] [ You used the skill… ] [ You used the skill… ]

To be honest, Lee Ho was not using his skill. Instead of relying on the system, he was controlling

the aura all by himself.

Lee Hwan had told Lee Ho to do so. He’d told Ho that was how to master the use of aura. So Ho had done exactly what Hwan had said. That had allowed him to defeat Jin Yong.

The Godfather changed his posture. He also felt that, in some way, Lee Ho had changed.

Soon, Lee Ho disappeared from the Godfather’s sight. The Godfather knew that Ho was attacking him, and he tried to block the attack, but it was far too late.

The Godfather was pushed back. He collided with the mountain.

Quickly, Lee Ho made another attack, but the Godfather responded calmly to it. The lightning then formed.

You activated the ‘Power of the Lightning God.’ ] All of your stats increased by thirty. ]

By activating that skill, the Godfather became far stronger. The Godfather and Ho attacked simultaneously.

Crash. Lee Ho was pushed back, and the Godfather collided with the mountain again. Both of them threw their weapons at each other, and they clashed together.

The Godfather stood up. The sword returned to him. He was making lightning for the attack.

Lee Ho summoned his dagger as well. Then he used his foot to kick at the sword. The Godfather was astonished. To be honest, he couldn’t understand the situation now.

Lee Ho swung his dagger. But the Godfather also worked hard to become stronger. He easily blocked that attack.

Yet, he couldn’t block everything.

Despite using the lightning, Lee Ho’s dagger sliced through the Godfather’s fingers. But the lightning struck Lee Ho, and he was pushed back.

The Godfather was quite confused. Ho was much stronger than he’d expected. He had to concentrate on making strong lightning for the attack, which meant that the last lightning strike had not damaged Ho. He hadn’t even used his unique ability, but he was still too strong.

The Godfather was now stronger than he had ever been before. And with his new power, he should have been faster than Ho.

However, Lee Ho was matching him. How could this be happening?

Lee Ho spoke.

“I suppose that the gate you cleared is related to Tiamat. What is that power you’ve got? The power of the lightning god?”

“…I suppose you know something.”

Lee Ho did not answer. He reached his hands to the sky, the snow moving as he controlled it.

“I’ve got the power of the sea god. Though, I never expected it to work with snow as well. After all, snow is a type of water.”

“…”

“Let’s get serious, shall we?”

The Godfather looked around. Until then, the fight had been a means of checking each opponent’s power. The winner would get everything. He was ready for the real fight.

“Interesting.”

He meant it. The Godfather liked the current situation. In fact, he was satisfied. The rule was quite simple.

“Want to know about my ability?”

Lee Ho did not answer. The Godfather smiled.

“As far as I know, you’ve never lost. With that unique ability and your speed, you were strong. In addition, you were calm and reasonable. That had led you to your position now.”

“What do you want to say?”

The Godfather was still smiling. Some might have felt frightened by that.

“Why do you think I didn’t fight with Jin Yong? It’s because I thought I could persuade him. That was the actual reason.”

The Godfather’s body was glowing.

“Unlike Raul, I could defeat Jin Yong and persuade him.”

That was true. Jin Yong became Lee Ho’s ally once Ho had defeated him. If the Godfather had won the fight against Jin Yong, he would have followed the Godfather.

With this, the Godfather clenched his fist. His aura changed to red.

“I don’t like the side effects of this skill, so I use it only when I really have to.” The Godfather smiled. “My unique ability is simple. It’s called ‘Limit Break.’”

Lee Ho frowned. He sensed that the Godfather was becoming more and more voracious.

***

A man and woman were climbing the mountain together.

The man frowned. “Come quickly.”

“I’m doing my best, you know.”

The man smirked. He thought that the woman was too slow, so he went down to her.

“I’ll carry you.”

The woman smiled. “Thanks for your offer, but I won’t sleep with you.”

“Still snappy as usual. Just let me carry you.”

Sophie laughed. Obviously, she wasn’t going to let that man carry her.

“I’m okay. So move.”

Raul laughed as well. What a snappy girl.

The two of them then continued to the mountain until they saw Lee Hwan. Seeing him, Raul smiled.

“Hey, bro. Why did you ask us to climb by ourselves? It would have been better for us to use teleport. That climb nearly killed me.”

“Well, you weren’t killed.”

“Of course, I wouldn’t actually die from that. But can’t you see that I’m sweating?”

Lee Hwan looked at Raul’s forehead. It was shining. But Hwan wondered one thing. “Why did you cut off all your hair?”

Raul smiled. “This is American Style, bro. You need to learn fashion.”

Lee Hwan didn’t answer. Instead, he looked at Sophie, and they greeted each other. If it weren’t for Raul, the place would have been quiet.

“But why is she wearing those clothes? The temperature is extremely low, you know. Also, why is she lying down? Is she a sniper?”

Kim Yoo-Jeong smiled awkwardly. It was no use trying to explain to Raul.

Raul looked closely, and he exclaimed, “Wow, I’ve waited a while to see this.”

Raul was observing the man who had transformed himself into a man-lion.

“I remember that his name was Jong-Geun. It’s been a while since I’ve seen… What the hell? Hey, bro!”

“What?”

“Isn’t that Alan Bermandi?”

Sophie also was surprised to hear that. She came closer and looked closely. Then she exclaimed, “OMG! Alan was the Godfather’s spy?”

Lee Hwan thought that both of them would be surprised to hear that most SS-rated hunters were spies.

Hwan sat down and told them, “Let’s watch together.”

Raul and Sophie nodded. In fact, Raul did not have any intention of doing so, but he asked, “Hey, bro, is this aura distortion?”

“You feel that?”

Raul was correct. Hwan was distorting the space so that no one could detect their presence.

However, Raul had noticed it. He was the first person on Earth to notice it.

“I remember that Ho used a similar thing before.”

Lee Hwan knew that Raul was about to break the wall. He was certain that Raul would become stronger.

“I suppose there is a rat from a distance.”

“A rat?”

“Ignore my words and check. I’ll teach you how to use some skills.”

Raul laughed and looked at Ho’s fight. Sophie did too.

Both of them saw Lee Ho more than Lee Hwan. They knew that Ho never started a fight he would lose.

He did tie a lot, but that didn’t mean that he lost. In addition to this, he won every fight he started.

He knew that this fight would be the same.

Sophie checked Lee Ho’s power.

[ Lee Ho ]

CA ?(PA ?) ] Godfather ] CA 76,552,342 (PA ?) ]

Sophie was stunned by the Godfather. His power had been about 60M. Now it was 70M.

Sophie was astonished to see that. He had grown rapidly.

However, Ho was still matching him.

That made Sophie wonder about the exact size of Ho’s power.

Raul was more interested in their fight. Yoo-Jeong was monitoring the fight with her scope while Sophie measured their power.

“Interesting,” Lee Hwan murmured.

Sophie then asked, “Are you going to watch?”

“Why?” Raul asked.

Sophie looked at Raul for a bit. Then she repeated the question to Lee Hwan. “Your brother might die.”

Sophie had her reasons.

As soon as the Godfather used his ability, his power changed.

[ Godfather ]

[ CA 115,442,782( PA ?) ]

It was overwhelming. Apart from Lee Hwan or Lee Ho, he was the strongest.

In short, he was twice as strong as Raul now.

Lee Hwan was interested in that.
