Global Awakening: Only I Can Respawn

Chapter 155: Calamity Strikes (3)

As the werewolves burst into the temple, their eyes fell on the only remaining container filled with Styx water. It was what they'd come for, but getting to it would not be easy.

Chiron had surrounded the container, their weapons raised. Alecton wasn't willing to give up YuWon yet. Hence, they were going to protect him and fulfill their promise to the angel.

"Tear them apart!" Graul roared.

Without another word, the werewolves launched themselves towards the Chiron. The temple was filled with the sounds of claws striking metal. As they continued to fight, one of Graul's followers saw his chance.

They pushed Alecton back to protect him from the onslaught. However, as the werewolves overwhelmed the guards, there was no one left to save Alecton. A werewolf realized the situation and lunged at the young leader.

As he was about to grab Alecton, the container behind him cracked open with a loud shatter. The sacred water of the Styx gushed out, spilling across the floor. For a moment, everyone froze.

Before they could notice what was happening, a pale hand shot out of the water, grabbing the werewolf about to attack Alecton, and snapping his neck with a sickening crack.

Tossing the corpse aside, the hand slowly withdrew. The man stepped forward, drenched in the Styx water as he stared at the werewolves.

"Tsk, I could have waited inside for a while longer," YuWon mumbled, looking at the broken container.

YuWon stood in the center of the temple, the water of Styx swirling around him like a living storm. The werewolves circled him, growling, claws ready.

"Don't just stand there! Rip him to shreds!" Graul yelled, pointing a finger at YuWon.

With a unified howl, the werewolves lunged at YuWon from all sides. The first wolf came at him from the front, its claws raised to tear his throat out.

But YuWon was faster. He sidestepped, his hand shooting out to grab the werewolf's wrist. With one smooth twist, he snapped the arm, then swung his other fist into the creature's chest, shattering its ribcage.

Another werewolf took advantage of the momentary distraction and leaped at YuWon from behind. Its claws struck YuWon, but there wasn't even a scratch on it. YuWon just shrugged and smacked the guy away.

The werewolf stumbled back, but YuWon pulled him back by the tail. He then grabbed him by the throat and lifted him into the air. Without a word, he tightened his grip until the werewolf's neck gave a sickening crack, then tossed the limp body aside.

Graul couldn't believe it. The werewolves had accelerated healing, but YuWon was killing them before their regeneration could kick in.

Two more werewolves charged at him from opposite sides, trying to corner him. YuWon crouched low and then jumped over them. As he fell, he grabbed onto their heads, slamming them into the ground with brutal force, shattering their heads like watermelons.

One of the werewolves let out a roar, throwing itself at him with renewed rage. YuWon caught the creature's arm mid-swing, then twisted it behind the werewolf's back, forcing it to its knees.

"You're not even a challenge," YuWon murmured, almost disappointed by the werewolves.

Before the werewolf could say more, YuWon delivered a crushing blow to the back of the werewolf's neck, shattering its spine. It slumped forward, lifeless.

"Keep attacking him!" Graul yelled desperately.

After hearing Graul's words, YuWon couldn't help but smile. The remaining werewolves hesitated for a moment, but their loyalty to Graul forced them forward. Unfortunately, it was a big mistake. But fortunately, soon they won't be making any of those anymore.

As time passed, they attacked in waves of four or five at a time, but YuWon dealt with them all with ease.

One werewolf tried to catch him off-guard, slashing for his side, but YuWon spun and grabbed its arm, using its momentum to flip it over his shoulder.

He followed up with a kick to its ribs, sending it crashing into another werewolf that had tried to sneak up on him.

"Too slow, too obvious," YuWon taunted, stepping over another fallen werewolf.

Another wolf tried to tackle him, but he dodged easily, slamming his elbow into the creature's temple. As it staggered, YuWon grabbed its jaw with one hand and the back of its head with the other, twisting sharply. The werewolf went limp, its neck broken.

One by one, the werewolves fell. Some managed to scratch him, but the wounds healed even faster than they had been inflicted. Soon, only Graul remained, but he had no intentions of fighting YuWon.

YuWon walked toward him, the blood of Graul's kin splattered across his skin. Graul's confidence was gone, replaced by pure fear. He took a step back, then another, before he sprinted toward the temple's exit.

"Oh boy," YuWon sighed, but didn't follow the beast.

After all, it was thanks to him that YuWon accomplished his goal. After all, he had intentionally let Lycaon's skeleton accompany him so the werewolves would follow the scent and attack the Chiron.

Since the Chiron were strong and devoted to their gods, YuWon deemed them dangerous. After all, he would fight them soon. If the Chiron sided with the gods, things would become unnecessarily difficult.

That's why YuWon planned to get rid of them without raising a finger.

As a thanks for helping him, YuWon would let the werewolf leave... his sight. But he couldn't assure the guy's safety beyond that.

As Graul stumbled outside, he was relieved, but it was short-lived. Within moments, he came face to face with the centaurs who had been waiting outside the temple's entrance.

"You're not going anywhere," Tehron announced.

Graul looked from the centaurs to YuWon, who had followed him outside. Realizing he was trapped, Graul thought about taking someone hostage, but it was no use.

The Chiron had already moved everyone out of Graul's reach. Soon they moved in, capturing him, and forcing him down as he struggled uselessly against their strength. The Chiron dragged Graul away like a dragging a corpse.

But as he was being dragged away, something strange happened. It was another earthquake. A moment later, something shot out of a nearby mountain... something that was on fire.

They didn't have to think for long, as the flaming substance fell right on top of Graul, killing him.

"What the hell?"
