Chapter 3
As millions of questions started popping into Jee-Han's head, he tossed glances between the two unknown figures standing across from another and frantically observed the surrounding area.
"What the hell... wasn't there an old man jogging by that pole?" From his observations, with the shape that old man was in there was no chance in hell he could have jogged out of Jee-Han's vision in this short amount of time.
He frantically kept looking around, his heart beat growing faster with each passing second. His breathing was starting to become rigid as he tried to calm down but couldn't as he was being crushed by the amount of pressure those two were creating. He stole a quick glance over the woman's status bar, his eyes widening in shock at her apparent level.
«Soul Blaze Fist User»
Level 32 Kwon Shi-Yun
What?
Did he read that right?
He looked again just to make sure he was reading it correctly and nodded to himself before his jaw dropped completely.
"Level 3-32!? Who the hell is this amazon woman with such a high level!?" He then realized that if he were to compare the both of them, she would be at least eight times stronger than himself. The mere thought made him shiver in fear and he could feel beads of sweat beginning to fall from his forehead.
Against his better judgment, he turned his head to examine the other figure and prayed that he wouldn't be in for another surprise. Unfortunately, he was in for another surprise.
«Black Summoner»
Level 38 Hwan Sung-Gong
This had to be cruel joke. This dude seriously had a level of 38, even making him stronger than the amazon woman in front of him. If Jee-Han wasn't settled on running away before, he definitely was now.
He didn't even understand what they were doing standing on top of those buildings in the first place but it surely couldn't result in anything good for him.
"What the hell's going on here!? Wait why do I care, I just need to run! Yes that's it, I should run!"
With his mind made up, Jee-Han slowly began backing away from the scenario and was planning to run like hell the moment they were out of sight. It was his only chance to survive.
Adjusting his glasses, Sung-Gong examined the young girl before him with a murderous glare that could intimidate any normal person. He quickly took note of the girl's blazing aura that surrounded her body and chuckled, coming to a realization.
"The Soul Blaze Fist, meaning to burn one's soul. I've heard that everyone in Yunhonmoon practices this ancient Martial Arts style, is that correct?"
The girl in question didn't even bother to hide her open distaste and tightened her fists, rage filling her eyes.
"You bastard... How dare you attack my clan, Black Summoner!" She roared, startling Jee-Han during his attempted plot to escape unnoticed.
"You're mistaken. I only acted out in self defense against your clan; they're the ones who had to stick their noses in my business, which of course cost them dearly."
"Don't act like your innocent! You know the rules that were established by the Yunhumoon, Chunbumoon, and Existence Eater. You broke the agreement first and violated the terms, so take responsibility for your actions!"
At this point, Jee-Han had stopped attempting to run away and tried to listen in on what they were arguing about but he couldn't make sense of anything they were saying. All he heard was stuff about clans, agreements, and taking responsibility.
"Wait a minute... did that tuxedo dude knock up that red haired chick and is trying to get out of the relationship? But he looks old enough to be her father... is he a pedo?" These dangerous thoughts were quickly dismissed before Jee-Han tried to focus back on escaping.
"You know, for such a well known and prestigious clan of martial artists, they weren't as strong as I expected them to be."
Shi-Yun's eye brows twitched in response as she heard her clan being disrespected and her aura began to burn with more rage than ever.
Sung-Gong smiled lightly before patting his three headed beast on its head.
"Well, it seems you're too riled up to listen to reason so why don't we dispense with words and use actions instead".
He snapped his fingers. As if a trigger was released, his three headed dog roared with all of its might before pouncing towards Shi-Yun. She clicked her tongue in response and also jumped from her spot and headed straight for the creature.
Whilst in mid air, one of the dog heads produced a column of flames towards Shi-Yun but instead of dodging, she leaped right into the flames with her fist forward, barely phased by it.
"Am I dreaming right now? I want to wake up please!" Jee-Han watched the two engage each other in mid air with a flabbergasted expression and lost the strength to move his legs.
"I've got to... move!" With quick thinking, he pounded his arms into his legs to cease the shaking and decided to make a break for it in the opposite direction. Unfortunately, he didn't get very far before his entire body stopped moving and he felt a slimy and disgusting sensation on his ankle.
"Did I step in some jelly or someth- What the hell!?" Looking down at the source, a poodle of brown ooze was sucking in his leg and then suddenly, it began to stretch and lifted him into the air upside down, causing Jee-Han to scream like a little girl.
"Hoh... now look at what my cute little slime has caught. If you value the life of this boy, you'll quit trying to interfere in my plans, Yunhonmoon girl" Sung-Gong stated with confident grin as his three headed dog landed back next to him.
Shi-Yun grunted as she landed softly on the ground and glared at Sung-Gong. She then looked at the dumb looking civilian that got himself caught and cursed her bad luck.
"Damn...he's using a hostage. How'd this kid even get in here in the first place? Whatever, I'll worry about that later. I can't let him get dragged into our mess so the question is how do I save him?" Shi-Yun couldn't figure a way out of this situation.
As he was being hung upside down, Jee-Han finally stopped screaming and took a few deep breaths before frantically staring at the mysterious man in the tuxedo and saw a large group of slime's being gathered below his feet. He didn't know how he was doing it but he believed that he was the source of these monsters and scanned him up and down to see if he could recognize him.
Suddenly...
«DING!»
A skill has been created through a special act! Through continuous observation, a skill to find the target's information, "Observe", has been created.
[Observe (Passive) Lvl 1: EXP: 0.00%]
A skill created by "The Gamer" to analyze and showcase information regarding anything he identifies.
Huh?
Jee-Han didn't understand a clue what was going on but the notification that appeared before him snapped him out of his flailing and he read the information regarding his new skill.
"What's this, a new skill? I can create skills? That's awesome but right now I need a way to survive this crazy situation!"
He used all of his strength to look up and examine the disgusting brown slime holding on to him at the moment.
"Well I might as well give it a shot, please do something useful. Observe"
«Black Slime Level 16»
HP: 1200 | MP: 500
A slime that lives in the demon world. It keeps its demonic power inside, and has the ability to strengthen its body.
"So... these monsters have stats too? Makes sense but this is useless right now! How do I escape this thing's grip, it's so tough!"
Sung-Gong stared at the dangling body of Jee-Han for a bit and wondered why the boy was talking to himself before dismissing it and turning back to Shi-Yun.
"Well? What's your answer Blaze Fist user of Yunhonmoon? Will you abandon this ignorant bystander in order to avenge your clan? Are the Yunhumoon all that heartless?"
Shi-Yun began to grit her teeth in frustration at the cheap taunts he was throwing at her. Who the hell was he to call her heartless when he put most of her friends and comrades in the hospital for months for no justified reason! She remembered the nightmare of being informed of the incident yesterday and rushing back to headquarters only to hear their cries of agony. Even her own brother, someone she looked up to greatly and respected was lying in a hospital bed covered in bandages all over and was so humiliated he wanted to take his own life. As his sister and also as a member of the Yunhonmoon clan; she had to make Sung-Gong pay.
However, her clan's teachings came above her own personal priorities and she needed to save the life of a bystander even if it meant giving up on her revenge. It was the law.
