Chapter 137 – Fighting Tournament (4)

“P, avoid!!”
“Aww!!”
“Kyaaak!!”

People screaming and scattering in all directions along with a man’s cry.
And a black object covering it.

Geuggeuggeuk!!!!

Jackson, who had slid across the dirt floor like a cow plowing a field, hurriedly corrected his posture and raised his crossed arms over his head.

Poop!!!!

“Shit..!!”
(Shit..!!)

Swear words that spontaneously spring out from the heavy impact transmitted to the raised arms with crossed arms.
However, the situation did not end with blocking Kim Hyun-jun’s attack, which took his right foot down.

Whiik!!!

Jackson gritted his teeth and thrust his forehead at Kim Hyun-joon’s left foot, which was swinging toward the face under his raised arms as he twisted his waist while floating in the air.
Because it’s too late to avoid it.

Puck!!!!

Jackson’s head bounced back with the instep firmly stuck in his forehead, and Jackson rolled on the floor again, raising dust, but for some reason, Kim Hyun-joon, unlike before, did not move, even though he had an opportunity to push.
No, he couldn’t move.
It was because Dan Jackson’s defense, which brought his forehead as a last resort, cracked his instep.

“Shit…”

A low groan escaped his mouth.
Compared to the forehead, which is one of the hardest parts of the body, the instep was not as hard as expected.
In particular, the difference in characteristics between each other.
Kim Hyun-joon, whose attributes are focused on increasing strength and agility, is pushing Jackson unilaterally despite having similar stats. It was stronger.
And Jackson, noticing that he had been injured in the instep of the feeling he felt on his forehead and Kim Hyun-joon’s appearance that he did not push him unlike before, began to push Kim Hyun-jun for the first time in this confrontation.

Whoo!! Whoo!! Whoo!!

Jackson’s fist, which was swinging heavily and quickly as if each blow was a one-hit killer attack, was evaded by Kim Hyun-jun, who avoided using his left foot as much as possible, and an unavoidable fist flew towards the side.

Poop!!!!

Instead of avoiding the attack, Kim Hyun-joon, who folded his right arm in half and attached it to his side, blocked Jackson’s swinging fist, but his body bent in a semicircle and bounced to the side.
Completely block Jackson’s blow, which has strength that increases strength by 40% and strength of 32, despite having strength that increases strength by 30% to a strength of 31 and battle awakening that increases strength by 25% Because Kim Hyun-jun’s physical durability couldn’t stand it.

“Ugh!!”
“I win!!”

Jackson caught up with Kim Hyeon-joon, who was still floating in the air, flying to the side as if he was giving back what he had suffered, and activated the C-class trait, Continuous Strike.

『Consecutive Strikes (C) – 8 consecutive attacks. +10% strength and +20% speed when used. Cooldown 30 seconds.』

Jackson’s two fists wielded with greater strength and increased speed.

Puck!! Puck!! Puck!! Puck!!

Four fists piercing the body of Kim Hyeon-jun, who is firmly defending his face with his upright arms.
One shot on the left flank, stomach, hurriedly turned sideways guard, and then again in the stomach.
Kim Hyeon-joon, who was receiving Jackson’s fist with his teeth clenched as if he had forgotten to breathe, wouldn’t be strange if he fell down on his knees right now, but he endured with tremendous mental strength and his eyes twinkled through the slightly open guard.
Kim Hyeon-joon was also in a state where the C-class trait Seizing Opportunity was activated.

『Seize Opportunity (C) – Identify the target’s loopholes.』

Opportunity seized with loopholes graded by color.
The lowest grade is green, the next grade is blue, and the last most vulnerable loophole is colored red, providing Kim Hyeon-jun with information about the target.
And although Jackson’s face had already turned green from the first attack with a series of strikes, Kim Hyun-Jun waited for Jackson to expose more loopholes, taking the attack with his body to create the perfect opportunity.
And finally, a bigger loophole was exposed, and the blue-stained face turned red.

‘Now.’

Jackson’s fists are being swung at such close intervals that there seems to be no gap in the middle due to the power of the characteristic.
However, Kim Hyeon-jun used the information of seizing the opportunity and the much superior speed to dig into the gap of the moment.
Of course, I couldn’t stop Jackson’s fist, which was moving with the power of his character.

Kwajik!!!
Awesome!!!

Kim Hyun-jun and Jackson exchanged fists on their faces and sides.
Jackson’s nose collapsed with a broken nose bone, and Kim Hyun-joon suffered three broken ribs on his left side, which had already been hit once.
However, looking at the current situation alone, if I had to pick one that was more advantageous, it would definitely be Jackson.
Unlike Kim Hyun-jun, who momentarily paused at the pain coming from his side, Jackson’s left fist, which had not yet finished activating the characteristic even though his nose was broken, was flying toward Kim Hyun-jun’s face, where the guard was lowered.

‘The end!!’
(It’s over!!)

Jackson was confident of his victory.
Even if he couldn’t knock Kim Hyun-jun down with this attack, he thought that his victory would be certain, as the fists triggered by consecutive strikes would attack Kim Hyun-jun two more times.
Just one thing that bothers me…

‘Why are you still staring at me with those eyes?’
(Why are you still looking at me with those eyes?)

The fear of defeat or the fear of a flying fist, apart from those things, the resolute eyes that do not feel any anxiety.
The face of Kim Hyeon-jun, who was staring at him with such eyes, tilted to the side for a moment.

‘Why..?’
(Why..?)

Jackson was just confused by this situation.
It didn’t take long for Jackson to notice that his body, not Kim Hyun-joon’s face, was leaning sideways.

Swish-!!

Jackson’s body leaned on his side as his legs, which had been stained red, were swept away by Kim Hyun-joon’s cracked left foot.
Even in such a situation, the continuous strike, a characteristic, attacked Kim Hyun-jun’s right side with his left knee bent instead of the useless two fists to continue the next attack, but Kim Hyun-jun’s left knee, which floated in the air with the palm pressing the moving left knee, rather It was stuck in Jackson’s face.

Kwajik!!!
Thud!!!

Jackson’s continuous blows, which were slammed into the ground with his left knee slammed down, were canceled by forcible force, but Kim Hyun-jun’s characteristic opportunity, which was maintained throughout the confrontation regardless of whether he was attacked or attacked, was once again Jackson. Dyed her face red.

“I won again, Jackson.”
“… “

Whii profit!!!!

Jackson had no choice but to stare wide-eyed at the fist being slashed in the face as it cut through the wind.
However, it did not happen that Kim Hyun-joon’s fist slammed Jackson’s face down.
Just before the fist touched the tip of his broken nose, Kim Hyun-jun stopped and stopped.

Whoo!!!

Instead of the terrible pain, Jackson closed his eyes gently with the coolness and wind blowing on his face, took a breath, and opened his mouth accepting his defeat.

“I lost again.. As expected, the captain is strong..”
“You have become very strong too.”

Swoop-
Snap!

As Kim Hyun-joon’s hand unfolded, Jackson raised his right hand, grabbed it, and raised himself up.

“Wow!!!”
“Fuck! It’s a complete movie!!”
“The best!!!”
“It’s cool, Captain!!!”
“Jackson fought well too!!”
“Oohhh!!!”

The two achieved their original goal of relieving people’s accumulated stress through this confrontation.
However, Minseo, Juha, Kim Jihoon, Kwon Juhyuk, and Yang Woojin, who might face Kim Hyeonjun in the third round, were under extreme stress.

“That oppa has become stronger…”
“Sister… I don’t think Hyun-joon oppa can win even if he gets hurt..?”
“No, doesn’t the captain have to fall out with Ha-jin hyung?!”
“Yeah, right! You’re a different class in the first place!!”
“Oooh-!!! Behave shamefully!! Don’t get involved in the children’s fight and step back!!”

Kim Hyeon-jun, who glared at No. 1 Yang Woo-jin, who was booing him, frowned as he checked the condition of his left foot, which had deteriorated further from swinging it in a cracked state, and his side, which was in pain with three broken ribs.
Of course, this kind of injury has been suffered countless times so far, so it is worth enduring, but Kim Hyun-joon asked the moderator that he was not greedy for first place.

“What will happen to me if I abstain from here?”
“Ah… That’s because it advanced to the third round anyway, and only five people made it to the third round… You will be ranked 5th by forfeiture.”
“Wow!! Abstain!! Captain, abstain!!”
“Captain, if you are injured, get treatment first. What if something goes wrong?”
“You’re right! Aren’t you the pillar of our shelter! Don’t get hurt!”
“Right, brother. Hurry up and get some treatment.”
“I think that would be good. It’s because I’m worried about you.”
“… “

If you receive treatment according to the rules of the competition, you will be automatically disqualified or eliminated.
That’s why the 3rd round entrants and prospective entrants all came forward as one body and encouraged Kim Hyun-joon to receive treatment.
If he had expressed his feelings openly and honestly like No. 1 Yang Woo-jin, he would have gone and received treatment, although he would have been a little embarrassed.

“Continue.”
“Despicably true..!”
“Go get some treatment, brother!”
“The leader is petty..!”
“Is it really such a waste to give us 3,000 coins?!”
“Now the truth comes out. Yes, it would be a pity to yield 3,000 coins to you guys.”
“Ah, sir!! Are you okay! Everyone is only aiming for the side! Only the side!”
“No! My left foot hurt too! Step on his feet and break them!”

Seeing Kim Ji-hoon and Min-seo screaming to attack Kim Hyun-joon’s injured part, the moment Kim Hyun-joon burns his will to win, a very small bug escapes from Na-yeon Yoo’s ear, who was watching the confrontation.

“How is it?”
“What… Aren’t they bad people? There is no oppressive atmosphere, and it is very comfortable and nice.”
“Yes, but what are you going to do, brother?”
“Just because you’re in a good mood inside doesn’t mean you’re friendly to outsiders. And what makes it stronger than Juyeon is that those people also killed people and took away their characteristics.”
“That must be so. Because there is a limit to the characteristics obtained from monsters.”

A group of people gathered on the roof of the War Memorial.
Through what they have been through, they thought that other people would be no different, as much as they were wary of outsiders.
That’s why even though they had a hard time coming to the shelter, they stayed nearby and watched the situation.
It is because their lives may be in danger by stepping into the shelter recklessly.

“Then why don’t we use bugs to control and bring only one representative who is said to be the leader here? As long as we don’t lose, we won’t be beaten by one person.”
“Ha… Tell me how many times! Doesn’t work on people stronger than me? This only works for weak kids with huge stat differences.”
“It’s a terrible probability, but it can happen~ And do you know? Will I be weaker than you? It may be different from what you see.”
“… Are you stupid Are the eyes decorative? What is it? You can tell if you’re strong or weak by just looking at it! You can’t see it, he was really strong! But if you go wrong with such a strong person and run wild, who will take responsibility?!”
“Then what shall we do! We’ve only come this far, but we’re going back to Yangju?!”
“It is, but… “
“I’ll be there.”

All eyes were focused on the words of the man who was the leader of the group.

“Hyung, are you alone?”
“Dangerous what do you mean!”
“No. I can’t send you alone.”
“That’s right. If that’s the case, I’d rather use Buck to control the girl and have a conversation… “

Like a woman who was speechless, the three men around her also blinked blankly with stupid expressions on their faces.

“There was a way…”
“I know… There was such an easy way…”
“Why are we so stupid?”
“Fu…Then let’s do it that way.”
“Okay, brother. Buck, go back to that woman.”
“Eww, why are you talking to a bug that doesn’t even communicate?”
“Under… Me and Buck have a rapport.”
“Sympathy sucks.”
“Concentrate, but don’t keep talking!”
“Yes~ Yes~ Talk hard with the bug that you can’t communicate with!”
“This is real..!! Uh? Uh? No!!!”

A woman suddenly screams.
And Kim Hyeon-joon, who happened to be passing by Yuna-yeon, suddenly muttered while rubbing his itchy ear with his finger.

“Is that stupid bastard swearing at me?”

And after a while

Tada da dot!!!
Tada da dot!!!

With the sound of footsteps echoing urgently around, the two guards who were sitting on their chairs at the guard post north of the shelter jumped up.

“Survivors?”
“Hey, wait… I’m not being chased, so why are you running so fast? No way… “
“This..!! This is the North Post! A group of survivors are rushing towards you from about 300 meters ahead! Four people! Maybe it’s a red raid!!”
“Hey, hey! What are those people saying!”
“What?”

Once the radio is inserted.
The two guards listened to the small sounds coming from afar, and with such increasing concentration, people’s voices were heard.

“It’s dangerous!!!”
“Be careful!!!”
“Danger..? What’s dangerous?”
-This is the situation room! As soon as you find Kang Ha-jin, send him to the parade ground! The captain is attacking people right now!
“… “
“… “

Two security guards staring blankly at each other at incomprehensible cries and even more incomprehensible radio calls.
Meanwhile at the parade ground…

“Is this an event too..?”
“What nonsense are you talking about?!”
“Hyunjun oppa!! What’s wrong! Stop it!!”
“Captain!! Hyeonjun hyung!!!”
“Back off. Something is strange.”

An unbelievable scene where Kwon Joo-hyeok mistakenly thought it was an event and Jackson stopped Min-seo, Ju-ha, and Kim Ji-hoon from running away.

“Sah, live… Main… “
“Big..!!”
“Captain… “

Swoop-

When Kim Hyun-joon turned his head at the voice he heard next to him, his eyes were full of red blood.
Like the red eyes of a zombie.

『Host (A) – It controls the target through the created host worm and applies the information of the host to the controlled target. Coins and traits the controlled subject acquires are passed on to the host. Loss of control when controlling a strong target with an extremely high probability. Loss of control target’s ego and +30% increase in stats.』
