Chapter 105: Finally, Disaster (4)
No one here would have any disagreement.
The fact is that everyone is now witnessing a bizarre scene that is difficult to see twice in one’s life.
Kwaaak!
The boxing gold medalist who had manifested into a ghoul was delivered a flying knee kick by Gyeongbuk’s Strongest Sword.
Then, strange lines, so absurd that they seemed terrifying, flowed from the Strongest Sword’s mouth.
“This battle is supported by the intergalactic weapon brand Dogo… I am Jeong Yeongwoo 07, the strongest in Gyeongbuk and Gangnam, representing humanity on Earth.”
“Ah…?
“What?”
Songpa’s Strongest Sword, Seocho’s Strongest Sword, and dozens of masters from Gwangjin-gu all opened their mouths at the same time.
Incomprehensible.
Is this what they call fear of the unknown…?
Forgetting for a moment that he was also human before being a mutant, Cha Dooseong stared blankly at the local Strongest Sword in front of him.
「What… did you just say?」
However, Yeongwoo was preoccupied with something else.
‘What’s this?’
He just realized that Cha Dooseong’s arms, which blocked the knee kick, were wrapped in a gray metal armor.
So, this is probably…
‘Oh, it’s a weapon. Because this person doesn’t have a sword.’
Is that why?
Even though there was clearly hostile physical contact, Cha Dooseong seemed to be unaffected by the pain.
Just like Kim Taejoon’s granite exterior, Cha Dooseong’s arms were also being treated as both weapons and armor.
‘If that’s the case, I have to break through the guard and land an effective hit.’
While Yeongwoo was thinking this way, Rohm signaled the next move.
It was none other than…
‘…Low kick?’
From the start, these cunning and vicious prisoners had no intention of using anything but their fists against the boxers.
Since a hologram was already striking Cha Dooseong’s left leg heavily, Yeongwoo swiftly moved his body.
Hyaat!
As Yeongwoo twisted his pelvis to kick low, Cha Dooseong noticed and withdrew his body smoothly.
「This bastard.」
He then looked at Yeongwoo with a puzzled expression.
It was because he felt that this martial charlatan surprisingly knew well about boxing evasion techniques.
Boxers generally maintain a wide gap between their legs.
About 1.5 times wider compared to the basic stance of a kickboxer.
This is necessary to control the weight distribution, which moves rapidly due to punches, ducking, weaving, and so on, in a stable manner.
As a result, they were naturally vulnerable to attacks targeting the legs like low kicks.
Hyaeeak!
Even to Yeongwoo’s clumsy low kick, Cha Dooseong reacted excessively.
「You…」
But who was Cha Dooseong?
He was once at the pinnacle as a boxer.
Moreover, because he had been involved in all sorts of disputes and fights even after being expelled from the boxing world, he was not only skilled in combat as a sport.
Shaaat!
Eventually, Cha Dooseong slipped away sideways, disappearing from Yeongwoo’s sight.
“…!”
Yeongwoo quickly twisted his body to chase after Cha Dooseong.
Hyaeeat!
But it was too late, as a body hook shot out from the position already occupied by the opponent in his field of view.
Pweeooeok!
“Oof…!”
For a moment, he felt intense pain in his side.
“Ha… huh?”
But soon, all the pain disappeared.
「Berserker」 – Mutant Charm
[Ignore a certain level of pain.]
Due to the overwhelming strength of Cha Dooseong’s punch, ‘Berserker’ blocked the pain.
「…Huh?」
Cha Dooseong felt discomfort once again.
To his surprise, as he instinctively weaved, Yeongwoo’s elbow flashed over his head like lightning.
‘Crazy, he’s really something else.’
Yeongwoo admired inwardly as he watched Cha Dooseong evade once again.
Then…
Baaack!
Once again, an uppercut came from below, hitting his chin and lifting his head upward.
“Ugh!”
As Cha Dooseong withdrew his upper body with a weave, he simultaneously threw a left uppercut.
Hit squarely on the chin, Yeongwoo’s vision completely lifted upwards, leaving him vulnerable to the opponent’s follow-up.
The liver shot, also known as the ‘body shot.’
Pwong!
With an unbelievable sound of impact, Cha Dooseong’s punch completely scrambled Yeongwoo’s organs.
“Cough!”
Blood gushed from his mouth as if it were flowing back through his esophagus.
Since Yeongwoo’s blood was practically toxic, contact had to be avoided, but Cha Dooseong didn’t know that.
「You bastard, die.」
Thinking he had finally broken through the opponent’s ‘luck,’ Cha Dooseong smoothly swung a left hook as Yeongwoo’s head, drenched in blood, descended back due to gravity.
Hyaeeak!
「You son of a bitch!」
Taeaeaeaeang!
A strange sound rang out from Yeongwoo’s head as it was struck by the hook.
「Vanguard」 – Relic Helmet
【This helmet does not get damaged.】
This is because the helmet covering Yeongwoo’s head was equipment that could not be ‘damaged’.
Of course, that didn’t stop his kinetic energy, so Yeongwoo’s head turned violently and blood spurted out.
“Pugh!”
「Huh? What…?」
A strange sensation he had never felt before in his life.
Then, suddenly, excruciating pain engulfed his entire body.
「Agh…!」
Nevertheless, even in this situation, Cha Dooseong didn’t forget that he was in a match, no, in a duel.
He quickly stepped back to increase the distance between him and his opponent.
Truly, the epitome of mental strength.
‘Oh my god.’
Yeongwoo was astonished at two things.
First, Cha Dooseong’s incredible mental fortitude as seen before, and second.
Tatat!
Amidst this, ‘Rohm’s Bottom’ was casting a spell to kick Cha Dooseong’s left leg.
‘A martial art that’s essentially based on the floor.’
Yeongwoo thought this while already launching a retaliatory low kick following the hologram.
Rushing towards the opponent, who couldn’t even properly open his eyes due to experiencing the taste of agony.
“You’re done for!”
As Yeongwoo willingly became one with Rohm’s Bottom, he mercilessly lunged at Cha Dooseong, causing a brief but palpable anxiety among the audience.
However.
「Ugh!」
Cha Dooseong was much more vicious than people had anticipated.
Feeling a threatening aura beyond the shredded view, he rather attacked Yeongwoo.
It was a brawl driven purely by physicality and determination.
Hyaet!
As Cha Dooseong closed the distance, Yeongwoo’s low kick only grazed his thigh.
Meanwhile.
Thunk!
Planting his foot firmly on the ground with a forward step, Cha Dooseong immediately swung his upper body and unleashed a short hook.
Essentially, it was a response akin to hoping for a lucky punch when cornered during a match.
However, it was the best course of action for now.
Leaving the distance open would only allow continuous low kicks.
「Gaaah… … !」
As Cha Dooseong started the fight with a scream that was unclear whether it was a shout or a scream, Rohm’s bottom ordered Yeongwoo to backstep.
Retreating to set up a slow barrage of low kicks.
However.
“…Fuck it.”
Yeongwoo didn’t heed the advice of the legendary martial arts.
Firstly, because he knew he could win without going that far, and secondly, he wanted to quickly put a stop to that bastard’s antics.
The notorious ‘stubborn’ tendencies recognized by the system emerged again.
“Fuck it, that’s enough.”
Boooom!
Eventually, as Yeongwoo began to mix it up with Cha Dooseong, something unexpected happened.
Ding!
The distinctive notification sound of the Dogo quest rang out, and a system message appeared.
《Quest rewards have been increased.》
Indeed, the ‘Romanticism’ reward had risen from 2 million karma to 3 million.
[Dogo] “Romanticism”
[Mission] Engage in a solo battle with Cha Dooseong using bare hands and win.
[Reward] 3 million karma
[Special] You must disclose the fact that you are supported by Dogo.
“Huh…?”
It was such a surprising event in the midst of the brawl that Yeongwoo was momentarily stunned, and as a result, Cha Dooseong’s heavy hook grazed his head, eliciting yet another fountain of blood.
“Arrgh!”
Thunk-thunk!
Blood soared into the sky, then quickly rained down on Yeongwoo and Cha Dooseong.
The audience murmured in disbelief at the sight.
“What the…?”
The scene before them had become so bizarre that it was no longer recognizable as a fight.
And at this point, Rohm’s Bottom also relented to Yeongwoo’s stubbornness and presented an alternative.
Thunk!
As the hologram, which was stepping back, realigned itself, it began to throw a hook while stepping on Cha Dooseong’s left foot.
“Ah.”
Sensing that the brutal fight was coming to an end, Yeongwoo immediately followed the guide.
Kwaak!
As Yeongwoo stepped on Cha Dooseong’s outstretched left foot, the dynamics of the brawl changed drastically.
With Cha Dooseong’s left foot pinned down, the movement of his left ankle was naturally restricted, reducing the effectiveness of all attacks involving the lower body.
On the other hand, Yeongwoo could still unleash most of his attacks with full force.
Thud, thwack!
From then on, it was essentially like hitting a frozen piece of meat tethered to a ring.
「Urgh!」
Despite being a gold medalist, Cha Dooseong showed a decent guard rate even in such situations.
However…
Due to the accumulation of too much damage from the previous brawl and pain infliction, even his sturdy guard gradually weakened.
Thud!
When Yeongwoo suddenly started focusing on attacking his abdomen, the pain from that area became too much to ignore, and Cha Dooseong occasionally lowered his guard completely to defend his abdomen.
‘It’s over.’
This was a fact even Yeongwoo, who wasn’t familiar with boxing, could understand.
The opponent’s face was completely messed up.
Thud, whack!
As the essentially one-sided beating continued, survivors from Gwangjin District began to open their mouths one by one.
“Ah…”
It was because they sensed the impending doom.
It was reminiscent of the scene they witnessed when they first arrived at this park in response to the call of Gwangjin’s Strongest Sword.
That vicious violence was now being fully reciprocated upon Cha Dooseong.
Thwack, smack!
“…”
Yet, no one in this place felt joy or amusement at this.
Thwack.
“…”
Eventually, when Cha Dooseong’s legs lost their strength, he knelt on the ground, and Yeongwoo grabbed his head with both hands.
Crack.
Then…
Swoosh!
This time, Yeongwoo precisely delivered a flying knee to Cha Dooseong’s forehead.
