Chapter 324 – Special Episode 3. The Monster Bastard.
A terrifying feeling of intimidation pressed Jihyeok’s body. His bulk surged at breakneck speed, swinging his heavy club vigorously.
The sound of ripping air pierced Jihyeok’s ears. He pierced the spear as he avoided the club he swung with barely touching distance. However, the opponent also avoided it by spinning around with quick movements that were not suitable for its size.
After a round of battle, the two again slightly widened the distance. … I realized right away that each other was a formidable existence.
… I’m sure it’s just that I’m scared and jump.
Jihyeok bent his neck sideways, strengthening his fighting spirit. And I got along with him again.
Even with just one hit, a tremendous attack that could not be guaranteed was poured out. The club tore through the air and broke the floor. The zombie caught in it was crushed, his flesh and bones completely shattered.
It was a truly crazy fight. But for some reason, both of them were feeling an inexplicable euphoria. A fight against the strong. In fact, his size was the body that participated in this game to fight the strong, not to win.
Yes, it’s this guy I was looking for this guy
A smile that could not be hidden appeared on the lips of the big man who had been expressionless.
Crazy bastard.
Jihyeok was also laughing while swearing at him. After becoming a god, he too felt a bit of a sense of collapse because he had become so overwhelmingly strong. … How long has it been since you had such a close fight!
At that time, the club suddenly bent in an unexpected direction and swung around aiming for Ji-hyeok’s torso. He struck back with his spear and threw himself back as far as he could. However, the weak spearhead was helplessly crushed by the hard iron club. Fortunately, I dodged the attack, but now I had no weapon.
… Still, I couldn’t escape. Because this is an unavoidable fight.
Anyway, Jihyeok felt more comfortable with his fist than with his spear. Didn’t the Heavenly Demon unify the martial arts with one fist in an era overflowing with numerous weapons? Even with a human body—!
A weapon is just an extension of an arm. Weapons are meaningless if you fully understand the origins of martial arts.
As Jihyeok clenched his fists and gathered the momentum to fight again, the opponent laughed even more. He was a man who liked both his skills and his spirit. If he hadn’t met at a place like this, he could have been friends without a doubt.
Of course, he didn’t do anything absurd like throwing away his weapon in order to balance it. In a fight, it was a factor that had to be taken for granted.
The hulking swung the club hard again. Throwing away the spear, Ji-hyeok avoided the club more easily than before.
… This guy… !
So he swung the club faster and stronger, but the opponent avoided the club again and again. … It was an amazing talent that surprised me even in my size.
A rat bastard… !
Realizing that he was not an opponent to fight while conserving his strength, he eventually poured out his full power. Even if there was a risk of being eaten by zombies after pouring all my strength here, I was prepared to see the end of the fight.
ㅡ!
The speed of the figure suddenly increased by leaps and bounds to the extent that even Jihyeok could not predict. In the end, he allowed his attack to his left arm.
With a shocking shock, Jihyeok flew away and crashed into the wall of the building. The impact was so strong that he pierced the cement wall and entered the building.
He slowly approached the place where Jihyeok flew while loosening his thick trapezius muscles. A shock like this would have taken a lot of damage to the opponent. It may have become incapacitated.
… However, contrary to his size, Ji-hyeok walked out of the wall unscathed and swung his left arm wide after being struck by his club.
“It was a bit stiff, but thank you for letting me go, bastard.”
Jihyeok’s eyebrows wriggled at Jihyeok’s perfectly fine appearance. At least it would be normal for his left arm to be crushed beyond use, but it was a phenomenon he could not understand that it was intact like that.
… What? Why are you so fine? Was the impact weaker than expected? … No. There was definitely a feeling of being hit right in the hand.
The hefty gripped the handle of the club even tighter. Then, he screamed and ran to the opponent.
Ji-hyeok realized that if he fought while conserving his stamina, he would not win, so he raised his strength.
The moment an attack comes in, aim for that gap—.
The aura that he exudes was also usually not forgiving. He honestly pretended to be fine, but the shock he had just received remained intact in his body. … If one more attack is allowed here, even Ji-hyeok’s strong body will not be able to withstand it any longer.
One shot fight.
If it’s not me, he will fall. Jihyeok was determined to do so.
… And the moment of decisive battle quickly approached.
In an instant, he ran up to Ji-hyeok and swung the club with fearsome momentum. I thought the big opponent was right, but the club didn’t touch anything.
ㅡ!
At first, I deliberately pretended to swing it briefly, but in the middle I pushed his arm to increase the range. Then it would be natural that the opponent would not be able to predict… ! However, it seemed that the opponent avoided the club with a skill that was one step higher than that.
Before he could even think how he could have avoided it, Jihyeok’s fist pierced the hunk’s chest.
ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ!!!!
With a thump, the hunk’s chest and bones exploded. Its massive body leaped into the air and then fell again. And the zombies rushed over them.
The hulking twisted his body away from the zombies and rose again, but his chest was already punctured and bleeding. … He looked down at his chest and coughed up blood.
Massive defeat.
He raised his head again and looked at Jihyeok with bloodshot eyes.
“… Name.”
He asked Jihyeok’s name in a heavy voice.
“Kang Ji-hyeok.”
“Jihyuk Kang… I will remember.”
He slumped forward, closing his eyes. And on top of that, zombies piled up again. The giant’s flesh began to enter the stomachs of the zombies.
Jihyeok gritted his teeth as the pain pierced his body. His left arm, which had been hit with the club earlier, was red and bruised and swollen. The bones were also slightly cracked, so there was pain every time I moved.
At that time, a mutant zombie flew towards Ji-hyeok, hit him with a fist, and his head was crushed at once.
Jihyeok saw the zombies coming again and avoided the place.
More zombies came to the place where the big man fell.
· · ·
Dawn has arrived.
Time for the zombies that were moving towards the living to find their nest.
Exhausted Jihyeok took a seat between rusty cars on the road and lay down. So he slept soundly, and when he opened his eyes, it was the morning when the sun had just risen. His left arm, which had been broken and swollen, was visibly sunk as if it had recovered a lot.
Jihyeok, who took a deep breath and regained his strength, moved again. To be honest, I wasn’t expecting much from winning, but after catching a strong candidate for the championship, I thought maybe.
Still, it was forbidden to be careless until the end. Because we don’t know how many participants are still left.
While Ji-hyeok is walking alone in the city, he suddenly hears beeping sounds in his ears. He wondered what this meant. But the more I walked, the faster and louder the sound became. He went back the way he had come. Then the sound slowed down and quieted down again. … I guess this is like a warning sound. Like a restricted access area.
Jihyeok moved to the outskirts of the city just in case. But he started hearing the beeps again where he could have gone out before.
… After all, isn’t it all gathered in one place?
It was only then that Jihyeok grasped the true nature of this game. It’s a ploy to push them into one place like this and make them all fight.
In addition, the space where you can escape from zombies is also narrow, so naturally survival and fighting become more intense.
After wandering around for a while, Jihyeok found a shelter in the distance. It seemed there were survivors.
Acting as if he was dying, Jihyeok approached the front door of the shelter and pounded it with his fist.
“Sa-sa-save me… !”
The door creaked open. A group of scruffy-looking survivors greeted him. The number of heads, including Jihyeok, is eight.
There were also familiar faces there. The contestant, the man named Kai.
“Uh, you… !”
Kai looked at Jihyeok and pretended to know him. Jihyeok also sat close to him with a happy face.
“I really died and ran away. If I had given up, I would have died there.”
“Fortunately, the.”
Kai said he had a hard time and patted Jihyeok on the shoulder.
“You must have had a hard time getting here, but go to sleep. You’ll have to fight terribly again at night.”
“Yes.”
Jihyeok lay down on the musty bed. Kai’s kind face disappeared in an instant. He was thinking about how to take control of this group now. A face appeared that seemed to be of help, so you should use it well.
Of course, Jihyeok also had plans of his own. As long as he was also a participant, he was no different from an enemy.
… Tonight, I’ll have to deal with it.
Jihyeok squirmed and tossed a little. He, of course, closed his eyes and did not sleep. You don’t know when a guy named Kai will change, so he should be nervous.
The sun, which had risen for some time, had gone down, and a sunset soon appeared in the sky.
… Another hellish night was approaching.
