Chapter 12 - Ch. 12 Fruit of Nakdong River (1)

Junghwa falls to one knee as he continues to hold up Mr. Park's pressure.

Damn it! What did he do to get so strong?! Did he go on a murder spree or something?

Mr. Park grins as he feels Junghwa's arms tremble. " I'm finally gonna get you, you brat. This is what you get. For ruining my life!"

" Argh!" Junghwa groans as he feels more pressure. His eyes widen as he sees a crimson aura seeping out of Mr. Park.

He's preparing to use a skill!

I have to find a way to get out of this situation!

Junghwa looks around for any possible weapon he could use to fight. Seeing that there wasn't anything, he began to look for any weaknesses on Mr. Park's body.

Where could I hit him to distract him?..

His neck? No, he'd probably cut me down before I could land a hit. So where? Where can I attack? His shoulder? Ribs? Solar plexus? Liver?

....What if?...

Junghwa suddenly gets the idea to attack a specific part of his body. A place that is considered the most sensitive part of a man's body. A place, that when hit with full force, can cause pain nearly equivalent to childbirth. That place is the one and only... crotch.

It's a shameful and cowardly move to pull against another man. But I don't have another choice right now... it's either this, or death.

Gathering his last bit of strength, Junghwa clenches his teeth and concentrates on his legs' strength, slowly getting up from one knee and standing firmly against Mr. Park's overwhelming pressure.

" UHHHAAAAAAHHHH!!!" He screams, his voice cracking as he uses his whole body's strength to push Mr. Park back.

Junghwa's eyes redden and his veins bulge as he feels pressure building in his head from overexertion of his body's current limits.

Beads of sweat slowly drip down Mr. Park's forehead as he watches Junghwa stand up to his strength.

Now's my chance!! I have to hit it before we start falling!!

In one swift move, Junghwa gathers strength to his right leg, then he kicks upwards, hitting Mr. Park's crotch.

Mr. Park's face twists from anger and confusion to shock and extreme pain as he his eyes roll back.

Junghwa falls back with Mr. Park landing on top of him, knocked out.

-[ +0.2 Strength]-

-[ +0.2 Intelligence]-

" Hah.. Hah... I did it~" said Junghwa as a smiles forms on his face, one that turns into a grin. " I fucking did it!! Ahahahaha!"

Junghwa felt extreme joy and pride after beating an enemy that was stronger than him, but maybe a bit too much joy.

" Ahahahaha!! Haaaah!"

Junghwa notices that Mr. Park begins to foam at the mouth from the pain.

" Ughh! Get off me!" Said Junghwa while pushing Mr. Park off himself.

Junghwa stands up with a big grin as he looks at the view of the sun glistening off the river, and multiple smoke coming out of dozens of places in the city.

He looks to his left and sees a pod of dolphins jumping out of the water before getting caught by giant red tentacles and pulled into the water. He smiles brightly.

He looks to his right, towards the city. He sees goblin being devoured by a swarm of large blue bugs, then those same bugs get sucked into the mouth of a giant red frog as if being vacuumed.

His eyes widen with awe as he watches two thick iron walls break out of the ground on either side of the giant frog. Before the frog could react, both walls slammed into each other, completely turning the red frog into a pile of mush.

Amazing~ I wonder what amazingly strong creature killed that frog...

Out of the shadows, a gigantic bear wearing iron armor that seemed like it was dug out and mended into it's skin. The great bear began to eat the mush, paying no mind to it's surroundings.

Junghwa calmly looked up at the orangish red and cloudy sky that covered the sun from being seen, but not from being felt.

Screeeech!...

His eyes widen as he feels a wave of heat pass through him. He sees a golden dragon fly over him, and it flies into the distance. The same dragon that flew by him in his previous regression.

Junghwa ran after it. Although his body was worn out, but his instincts forced him to run.

He ran a bit down the hill before jumping over a fence. While in mid-air, he glances up at the dragon then he looks down. He sees a steep and slightly rocky hillside patiently waiting for him.

His eyes widen in shock as he falls and yells. " Why would they build a school on top of thiiiii-?!"

He falls onto on the hill and begins rolling down, instinctively protecting his head as he collides with various small and big rock. "Son of a-! Ow! Shit! Damn it! Ah-oww-! Oof!"

FUUUUU...!

After successfully escaping Mr. Park attack, leaving Junghwa behind in the process. The three friends continue to run in the direction of the closest shopping center.

They begin to slow down as they arrive at a short bridge over a small canal.

Shinhui suddenly falls to her knees on the bridge, sobbing.

As soon as she does, Minjoo and Jinsung turn around and run to her side.

Whoosh...

She looks around at the trees, leaves swaying from the wind blowing. She listens to the sounds of the water flowing as she wipes her eyes.

She clutches at her chest as her voice trembles." We left him... We just.. left him! How could we just leave him there?.."

Shinhui looks up at Minjoo and Jinsung, who stands in front of her with regretful expressions. " ...How could you two, his friends, just leave him!? How could you just do that?! You were his friends long before I ever was! So why?! How!? How could you just abandon hi-!"

"Shut up! Just.. shut the fuck up!" Yelled Minjoo, shocking Shinhui as she completely turns her gaze towards her.

" Do you think we don't feel like shit for leaving him?! He's been our friend for 2 years, but we just left him!..." Yells Minjoo her gaze darkens and her eyes tear up.

Shunhui and Jinsung turn their gazes downwards as their expressions darkened.

"..But..." Says Minjoo. Her tone hopeful.

They both look up at her, their eyes widen slightly.

Minjoo clenches her hand into a fist and continues. " ..I trust Junghwa. I believe in him... I believe that Junghwa will survive and return to us. If not today, then he will return one day..."

Shinhui's eyes widen as Minjoo walks up to her disheveled self, and extends her hand out. " Do you believe in Junghwa?"

Shinhui looks at her extended hand, her breathing intensifies momentarily before she exhales deeply.

She looks up at Minjoo with a renowned drive, and she takes her hand, smiling confidently. " Yeah!"

Minjoo smiles and pulls her up, then she turns to Jinsung, and she nods at him. As if saying, "Understand?".

Jinsung nods back with a confident expression, as if replying, " I understand!".

The three friends advance forward with Minjoo leading them. With complete confidence in their friend, Junghwa's survival, they walk forward with serious expressions.

" Aaahhh-!"

Splash!

Junghwa finally reaches the bottom, landing on the edge of a lake.

Junghwa pushes himself up, coughing and groaning. " Damn it.. that fucking hurt..."

He looks at the water, and is momentarily shocked from how red the water was turning.

Huh?... Why is the water turning red? I don't think I'm bleeding, although I have MANY bruises...

Blood.. The students.. That's right! I'm covered in the students' blood! Blood.. Blood.. Blood.. attracts predators!

His eyes widen. " I have to get the fuck out!"

Swoosh! Splash! Hisssss!

Junghwa quickly runs out of the water right as a giant blue snake that's at least 20 meters long jumps out and bites the area he was just standing on.

The Aqua Python

" Oh crap!" Yells Junghwa as he begins running away.

Hissss!

The large snake chases him through the forest, shattering trees and small boulders in it's way.

" Oh shit! Oh shit! Oh fuck!" Junghwa continues to run away, running in zigzags around trees, jumping over fallen trees and small boulders. He continues running. " My fucking hip hurts!"

GRRRR! ARF! ARF!

Junghwa gasps as he hears a small pack of wolves nearby.

He looks to his left and sees a pack of 6 wolves with white and blue fur closing in on him from the right.

The Indigo Hounds

They chase him along the right side of the snake but they kee a safe distance from it."What the fuck??!.."

" Aaaahhhh!" He yells with a slight and tired groan.

" Just keep running! There's bound to be bigger and stronger predators!" Yells Junghwa to himself as he continues running.

Bzzzzz! HISSSS!

Suddenly, a swarm of blue beetle-like bugs attack the pack of wolves. Causing them to stumble and fall as they whimper and try to escape the large swarm that is quickly eating their fur, skin, muscles, and bones.

The Navy Gluttins

" Ha! That's one down!" Yells Junghwa in celebration of one of his enemies.

He continues running from the giant snake. Tired, he glances back at it right at the moment that it gets bitten and picked up by a red and much larger snake.

The Crimson Python.

He watches in awe as the crimson-colored snake devoured the smaller blue snake, as if slurping a noodle.

He smiles and continues running forward until he reaches the edge of the Nakdong River.

He looks up at the sky as the great dragon suddenly swooped down into the ocean. The area around it began to boil.

Then it resurfaces, holding a struggling giant red octopus in it's jaws. The octopus attempts to grab the dragon's face, but it spasms back, feeling the immense heat that continues to cook it alive.
