Global Awakening: Only I Can Respawn

Chapter 96: Strength Rules (2)



Chapter 96: Strength Rules (2)

I didn't think they would find a target so soon.

YuWon had thought his harshness with Joon would have knocked some sense into their head. After all, that was why he showed off his strength to them. He wanted to scare them so they won't dare take a step against him.

He turned around, only to see the people eyeing someone behind him. YuWon looked back from the corner of his eyes.

Are they going for Yeji?

It didn't matter if they were going for her or someone else on his team. He would not let them touch anyone.

"Everyone... get ready," YuWon mumbled, bringing out his swords.

YuWon was the first to move. He grabbed one attacker by the neck, lifting him off the ground like a rag doll. The man gasped for air, his hands clawing at YuWon's grip.

The next moment, YuWon slammed the guy's head on the ground, knocking him out.

The man groaned in pain but was still alive. YuWon didn't want to kill anyone yet. After all, he needed them to feed the baby fire giant. It would wake up soon, and if they didn't fill its belly in time, all hell would break loose.

The awakeners saw YuWon and their steps faltered. They knew little about him, but they weren't fools.

They had survived many days in the apocalypse, and their survival instincts had developed. They knew YuWon wasn't someone to trifle with. But the threat of the baby eating them was much scarier.

Hence, they kept moving ahead, their eyes locked on Yeji. As they got closer, the rest of YuWon's group sprang into action. Gina was the first to join the fight and knocked an attacker away with a single punch.

"Stay back!" Gina shouted.

Lysandra, too, was quick to defend Yeji. She moved her hands, trapping as many people as possible in her vines. Even then, the people kept rushing towards them as if someone had possessed them.

"It's that bastard again," Yuna muttered, pointing at the guy next to Joon.

YuWon looked up and recognized him. It was the same guy who had orchestrated the rebellion back at the base. The guy must have joined Joon's group after fleeing that night.

Joon stood by the man, watching the chaos with a smug grin. The two of them were behind the mess.

Joon knew YuWon was strong, but no one could fight forever, and he had been counting on that. His plan was simple: tire YuWon out, then strike when the time was right.

But Joon had underestimated YuWon. But one couldn't blame him for his oversight. After all, the oracle's glass could only show him someone's level and stats, not their skills.

"He won't escape this time around," YuWon mumbled.

A wisp of a soul slithered out of his hand and attached to the nearest guy. The man turned and hit the person behind. But things didn't stop there. He kept hitting people randomly.

Soon, their planned assault had fallen apart and turned into a full-blown riot. Joon watched in disbelief as his plan fell apart. His confident smile disappeared as he turned to the man next to him and grabbed his collar.

"What's happening?!" Joon yelled. "Why the hell are they fighting with each other instead!?"

"I-I don't know!" Daeshin shook his head. "Someone else must be messing with their heads--"

But before Daeshin could say anything, there was a thudding sound, and he crumpled to the ground, unconscious. Joon looked at Daeshin lying on the floor, wondering what had happened.

"Looking for someone?"

Just then, YuWon appeared before him as [Ether Walk] ability faded away. The smug grin on Joon's face earlier was long gone, since he was face-to-face with the one person he had hoped to avoid.

"You—!" Joon's eyes widened.

Panicked, he threw a punch at YuWon. But YuWon was faster, YuWon caught Joon by the arm and pulled him closer.

Using the momentum, YuWon swung Joon around, slamming him into the ground. Before Joon could recover, YuWon reached down and grabbed Daeshin's limp body as well.

"Let go of me!" Joon yelled, thrashing wildly once he realized where YuWon was headed.

Unfortunately for him, YuWon's grip wasn't that easy to pull away from. Besides, with all his men trying to calm the people, there wasn't anyone to save him.

YuWon dragged both men across the floor. Behind them, the people kept fighting, ensuring Joon's bodyguards didn't have the time to save his ass. He looked up and saw the baby giant stir.

Just a couple more seconds...

As they reached the cage, YuWon tossed Joon and Daeshin into the cage with no hesitation.

"This was your big plan?" Joon smirked, noticing the giant wasn't awake. "I can just... do this!"

A moment later, Joon's body turned to dust and scattered across the floor.

"Tsk... the bastard jumped bodies again," YuWon clicked his tongue, looking around. "Doesn't matter. I won't tire of killing you. Let's see how many bodies you have. But where will you run?"

YuWon turned his attention towards Daeshin, groaning in pain as he woke up. But the baby giant also woke up at the same time. The creature sniffed the air, its nostrils flaring, and then its gaze fell onto Daeshin.

"No... no, no, no!" Daeshin scrambled back, pressing himself against the bars. "SOMEONE HELP ME—!"

But there wasn't anything anyone could do as the baby giant grabbed Daeshin by the leg. The man screamed, struggling to free himself, but it was all in vain.

The giant's grip tightened around his other leg as it pulled Daeshin closer, drool dripping from its massive jaws.

"YuWon, help me! Please, I—"

The man's words got cut off as the giant bit down, tearing into him. Blood splattered across the cage as the creature ripped him apart, piece by piece.

Even YuWon couldn't help but close his eyes at the sight. After finishing the meal, the baby giant let out a satisfied burp, curled up on the floor, and closed its eyes, falling back asleep.

[The baby is full and fell asleep.]

[It will wake up again in 3 hours.]

"Three hours..." YuWon whispered. "That should be enough time to find Joon."
