Of course, the world of twenty years ago didn’t have disciples or awakened beings specializing in recording and analysis. Therefore, the quality of the videos was low; they were phone-recorded videos. Yet, these videos had dominated in terms of view count for the past twenty years.
Some disciples considered these small collections of videos as their bible. This was especially true for the video of Lee Gun’s raid against Thousand Legs. Only that video was over ten minutes long amongst all of them.
Lee Gun had “died,” so he didn’t get paid for the videos. However, if he were, the money he would have received due to the view count would have been unimaginable.
<He’s perfection itself. He didn’t use a single skill. He killed the monster with just his weapon.>
<‘Humanity’s Strongest’ video where you can best see Lee Gun’s foundation>
A lot of analysis was done on Lee Gun’s videos that put him as the model fighter. Unlike the Zodiac Saints, who fought with flashy skills, Lee Gun strictly fought with his weapons. This was also why although Lee Gun’s videos received praise, skeptics were still there.
[Fuckㅋㅋㅋㅋ That is all thanks to the Saints giving him buffsㅋㅋㅋ]
[That’s right! How is that possible without buffsㅋㅋㅋ]
[If it’s possible, he’s not human ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
A common discussion had happened about the videos.
“You guys stand back and just watch.” The person in the video held out his hand. “Also, give me a decent blade.”
Lee Gun nonchalantly shaking his hand left the disciples shocked.
“Are you going to fight it?”
The disciples were baffled.
“Hey, Lee Gun just said he’ll fight it.”
“Huh! You don’t even have blessings from the gods?”
Lee Gun’s words caused a stir amongst the disciples of the Pisces, the Capricorn, and the Taurus.
Then, several Leo disciples stepped forward. “Excuse me!”
The Leo Saint liked Lee Gun much more compared to the Gemini Saint. After all, he was obsessed with Lee Gun’s holy items.
“It’s impossible!”
“That’s right. You haven’t received any buffs from the Saints!”
“You won’t be able to fight the monster in your state!”
“You are only a B-rank! Stand back!”
“We will protect you. You should just watch from—”
“Fuck off. Who’s protecting who?” Lee Gun interrupted them.
“Kuhk!”
“Just give me a decent blade, bastards,” he shouted.
“It’s impossible to fight it on your own—”
Puhk!
The disciple who was badmouthing Lee Gun fell over. The reason was Chun Yooha. “Yooha! What the hell are you— Kuhk!”
In a flash, she performed a backbreaker on her comrade. Then, she tossed something that she had stolen from the disciple.
“Uncle!” She tossed a sword. It was the exact length as that of Lee Gun’s sword in the raid videos.
“You got a great eye.” Lee Gun snatched the sword out of the air with a satisfied expression. Then, he instantly unsheathed the sword.
Ssssrng!
[Common Gladiator Sword] A rank
– The sword blade looks like a fang.
A hint of madness appeared in Lee Gun’s smirk as he looked at the blade.
‘!’ The disciples gulped.
Déjà vu! The Lee Gun they had seen only through videos was standing in front of them right now. The man’s back as he walked toward the octopus looked the same as Lee Gun’s.
Chun Yooha, who had watched the video tens of thousands of times, felt her heart tremble. It was the easygoing manner in which Lee Gun walked. Despite that nonchalance, he oozed a sharp killing intent toward the monsters in front of him. His magical energy was like a sharpened blade.
That didn’t ease anyone’s tension, however. This was a completely different scenario than when Lee Gun had killed the monster in the past.
‘At the time, there were fewer monsters.’
‘Can he really kill it?’
‘By himself?’
‘He’s going to do it with no defensive gear?’
Should they be trying to stop Lee Gun even now? As they thought…
Pahng!
“!”
Accompanying a deafening roar, a black wave surged into the air. Then, Lee Gun disappeared. Speed of light! Lee Gun was so fast that it felt like the air was bending around him.
Lee Gun ran across the ocean. He had acquired the skill of running across the ocean when he had beaten up the Pisces disciples.
[The <Ocean Walk> skill will remain active for 5 minutes.]
The rough waves and the group of octopuses tried to get in his way, but it was useless.
[Rockface, Grass Cutter]
“Kee-ehhhhk!”
“Kee-ehk!”
As he passed them at the speed of light, dozens of octopus arms scattered into the surrounding area. The scattered arms squirmed.
Splash! Splash!
Cut into bite-size pieces, the octopus arms fell from the sky like rain. The disciples couldn’t close their mouths.
“A-are you sure he doesn’t have any buffs?”
However, they didn’t have the time to be surprised.
“Over there!”
The next moment, Lee Gun was in front of Thousand Legs. The disciples’ faces turned pale.
Boom!
When Lee Gun got close to it, Thousand Legs let out a deafening roar and lifted all its legs.
“Kee-ehhhhhhk!”
“Look out!”
It was as if the long legs would touch the heavens. Up, down, left, and right! The legs aimed for Lee Gun from all directions.
Shweeeeek!
Moreover, they were fast.
“Lee Gun-nim!”
It didn’t take long for their mouths to fall open.
“Hmmph!” With a chuckle, Lee Gun raised his blade.
Chun Yooha’s eyes turned round at this sight. She had seen this stance in the video.
The sound of air being cut rang out as a scream reverberated in the air.
[Sashimi Cut]
Suh-guhk!
“Kee-ehhhhhhk!”
An enormous leg of the octopus had been cut in an up and down motion into twelve equal pieces. The octopus sashimi fell into the ocean.
The leg Lee Gun had cut was the most important one. It was shaped like a hook. That leg looked threatening at a glance, but in reality, it was like a control tower.
Splash! Splash!
The nearby generals felt emotions surge up in their hearts. They felt like something wanted to boil up through their throat. The scene they had seen witnessed in their youth was being recreated in front of them.
“I’m sure of it. That appears at the four-minute mark!”
“He did it with a mere A rank blade!”
Of course, Lee Gun wasn’t done there.
“This monster is more energetic than the one from twenty years ago!”
Kwahng!
When Lee Gun kicked off the ocean, the spectators reacted in fright.
“Lee Gun-nim! Don’t!”
They reacted that way because of the direction Lee Gun took. As if he was having fun, Lee Gun jumped into the octopus’s beak.
“Lee Gun-nim!”
Thousand Legs thought it had hit the jackpot. It chomped down with its brutal teeth and swallowed Lee Gun.
Kwah-jeek!
However…
Suh-guhk!
“Kee-ehhhhhhk!”
The inside of its mouth was cut apart. Lee Gun happily took something out from the octopus’s mouth.
“Kee-ehhhhhhk!”
The sight wasn’t clear, but those items looked like the monster’s esophagus and innards.
The octopus sounded tormented. Its screams couldn’t be compared to before. They were on a different level as if it were begging Lee Gun to stop.
Go-ohhhhhhh!
Chun Yooha and the generals broke out from their reverie. In truth, in that video, there had been a moment where the screen would freeze; the viewers could only hear a horrible shriek. That scene had been a mystery for the past twenty years.
However, everyone now realized what had caused the horrible shriek.
‘That’s what he did!’ Chun Yooha put a hand over her mouth as if she found Lee Gun’s actions admirable, while the generals froze at the grotesque scene.
“Kee-ehhhhk!”
Lee Gun was like the devil as he pulled out even the intestines of the monster.
“Keeee…ehk!”
It was obvious now. ‘That scene was edited out.’
In truth, the disciples were now more afraid of Lee Gun, who was laughing like the devil.
As the octopus was in pain from having its innards ripped out, Lee Gun changed the direction of his blade.
Kwah-jeek!
The sharp blade emerged from the inside and pierced through the monster’s forehead. This was the killing blow.
Suh-guhk!
Spinning in a circle, the blade cut the monster in half.
Boom!
Finally, the cry of the monster disappeared from the ocean. The disciples felt their knees become weak at the sight.
[You have shaken the hearts of the unknown people.]
[The unknown people are directing their admiration toward you.]
[A deep feeling of worship is being directed toward the person in front of them.]
[There is a power within old memories, impressionable actions, and reverence.]
[You have formed a bible!]
[Achievement <Record Book> The records and oral stories of the 13th Seat are starting to get documented.]
[The gods are taken aback.]
[Several gods are taken aback by their influence being shaken.]
The disciples who had seen the action up close couldn’t shut their mouths.
“He really did it without any buffs!”
“He didn’t even use a skill!”
The reporters, who were landside, dropped their weapons and mics. It seemed they had forgotten how to talk.
With a crooked smile on his lips, Lee Gun turned around. “This is how you use a blade. Understood?”
The legend, who had returned from the dead, was standing in front of them.
* * *
“Hey, what the hell did I just watch?”
The producers were unable to shut their mouths. Until now, they had been broadcasting the live footage taken at Luzon island.
“We will recreate Lee Gun’s Raid!” The generals had left for the Luzon island with such ambitions. Thousand Legs was a monster famous for being killed by Lee Gun. So how could the generals not do the same?
The broadcast had been like watching a movie while knowing the ending. The producers had no worry. However, they had soon realized something was very wrong when the generals started running away.
However…
“Hey! What the hell was that?”
“Crazy! Even the generals couldn’t kill it, yet he did!”
A big ruckus erupted in the station in charge of broadcasting the feed. People all over the world, who were watching the Luzon island raid through the live feed, were in an uproar. The local channels, major foreign channels, and even small streaming sites were going nuts over the footage.
The maximum logins for the larger streams were at full capacity, so Chun Sungjae had logged into a smaller channel. He was shaking.

– Did you see it?
└ㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷ
└Crazy
└Is this for real?
└ Almost pissed myself!
– He used no buffs, right?
– Generals are like dogs begging for a treat.
└Several of them are sobbing
– The Octopus was killed in no time.
– Hood & training suit! King of fashion!
– He doesn’t need defensive gear! He didn’t get hit at all.
– Who said Lee Gun was propped up by the buffs?
-That’s a B rank?????
The chat moved at incredible speed, but Chun Sungjae didn’t pay any attention to it. He had been watching the broadcast live at his school, frozen in place.
“S…Sungjae?”
“No way!”
“Sungjae?”
“Why is uncle over there!” Chun Sungjae started crying. He could watch Lee Gun kill the octopus through a live feed. It was legendary. However…
“Why the hell am I here? I should have seen that with my own eyes! This was legendary! That fucking camera didn’t even get the right angle!”
“It’s fine. Your sister is there, so she can give you the details.”
“#$#*&*!!!” That wasn’t important at all. Chun Sungjae was about to choke Hahn Jimin while crying!
***
Luzon island!
The disciples had experienced the spectacle with their eyes and noses; they had experienced it through their skin. Therefore, they were more moved than the others who had watched the scene through their screens.
‘That’s the real Lee Gun.’
The disciples and Chun Yooha couldn’t close their mouths. This was on a different level compared to when Lee Gun had defeated the Flame Monarch. Lee Gun had merely kicked the Flame Monarch. He hadn’t used a sword.
The crowd, who had forgotten how to speak, started yelling.
“My god! The video of Thousand Legs Raid was really recreated today!”
“Amazing! He is overpowering!”
Someone suddenly had a thought.
‘The Thousand Legs video is considered average.’
The explanation for that video was “Lee Gun was that strong because he had received buffs.” However, the disciples knew the truth now.
‘Great Russian Expedition!’
That raid’s video had been erased off the internet. It was erased every time someone uploaded it onto the internet. People considered that video the best video of Lee Gun, the dream one.
Currently, it could be found on the dark web or in the possession of a collector like Hugo. That was the only reason Hugo’s children had watched that video.
Everyone had seen that Lee Gun had used just simple movement techniques to defeat Thousand Legs. They realized the implications of this!
‘The expedition was extraordinary. How strong is he?’
Boom!
“!”
Lee Gun dragged the octopus’s corpse to the shore, then walked toward Chun Yooha.
Sense of Awe! Solemness! The disciples parted like the red sea.
While walking toward Yooha, Lee Gun suddenly caught sight of something. He laughed. “Oh! You have that?”
The words made Chun Yooha remember something. Lee Gun was referring to the bone in her hand.
He said, “Since you broke your weapon, should Uncle make you a weapon with that? It’ll be a nice one.”
At that moment.
“Lee Gun!!!”
Lee Gun heard a familiar voice. It was the Leo Saint.
