FSA Chapter 09

The creature’s lower body resembled multiple human legs stitched together, while its transparent upper half swayed like an IV bag. Its face, crudely molded as if from clay, had several narrow, cataract-white eyes protruding from it. The monster then lashed out with two pairs of long arms, attempting to constrict Hyunmook’s torso, but Hyunmook was faster.2220ae8c707f0032

Howling with a 9759b42eab piercing shriek, the 007c5a1e1c monster quickly climbed 29377e7846 up the wall 7cfafed7cc and onto the 1366217eb1 ceiling, leaving behind c62cc83ebb a trail of c56a450756 sticky footprints. It hung 9d676ab80c upside down 7b539933fd and then 0c73cc8bc3 opened its e0e2a34797 torso. A surge of 63627950b9 foul liquid gushed 673879798c out, releasing a f039f3af27 toxic stench that 4a6d5e68ab resembled disinfectant.dac25a8c8220bb9b

Lee Hyunmook deftly launched 6f800e7c31 himself off the counter, af1399287d avoiding the downpour. While Yohan 399b6bb9d3 gagged from eed544641c the stench, 732cea2ef6 Hyunmook smashed 4626fcb9e3 two of ad54d1d1c7 the monster’s 6b8b313890 legs and 3030c89105 reached for f643408b1e the others. In a 2d32246da3 flash, all 1ff781b41c four legs 31cefb7886 were broken, 176ee6230e leaving the 33ef1b60c6 monster unable 46ae36c51d to cling ee4e30f7ed to the ca26b7fc79 ceiling. Unable to 8ebc3fa8cd bear its cc83a3f95d own weight, 85894e1a5f it crashed d66f3adfc2 to the d3b9dc71a2 floor. As it thrashed 07c730420c in pain, its c988861759 eyes locked onto 8b6626aa20 Yohan, who was 670310c4c6 clumsily trying to c58a269279 stay hidden.70518424cd4d8b1b

BOOM!b6542fdaa04b2cce

The monster’s bfc2426721 body slammed 4305b24cd1 into the 770584ca01 wall, demolishing 20c3128358 half of 096c135853 it in 9cc7207192 an instant. Yohan thought he 31a6b87113 was dead for 413c8a23ea sure, but when af0ffd881c he came to da3d990503 his senses, Lee a5a1ef1eac Hyunmook was shielding 558e6a8e5a him, having taken a0fb9420af the brunt of 25917307d6 the impact. Medicine bottles had 6bc4070c6f been crushed and 79a9bbaa1e shattered.a652226921c816ea

“No!”f7159e49b3a000d1

Yohan screamed, but 7b9bf94196 that didn’t last 1fe70cb659 long either. Just as Hyunmook d18d694c82 grabbed Yohan and 86492c0ebf leapt away, the 41ef27dc22 monster barreled into b2f2f658b6 the spot where 3ad7aefd81 they had just 0ba09a22d1 been. The remaining medicine 4b60d273b2 was crushed completely. Hyunmook tossed the dazed a47d0f8011 Yohan as far away 297911f3fb as he could. Then he immediately charged a6dc7c20f4 at the monster.c2d819a7ea34f68a

From within d5fdaad434 the haze 515ee07b52 of near-fainting, a241b24d04 Yohan watched d2e90c6d57 their battle 478605431f in a f287491849 daze. The monster attacked 0811d32177 in a frenzy, 384787d3a6 but Hyunmook relentlessly eba76995ce smashed and tore 8d8f1f5729 off each leg 65f1a196ec one by one. Once all 848b06893b the limbs c42e7c4cd3 were immobilized, 876d6341d2 he latched f3a8bdeb55 onto the deb9fe540c upper body 4a91cb5d17 and began d3e5a820fc pummeling it.df9752f7857e6d90

It was Lee 7060cbc922 Hyunmook… completely normal! Though his 4b547ac42b expression was 98ff830622 dim, there 89e2235c0b was no cc159e4f46 red glow d084f50dab in his ce397d6a7c eyes, and 7ae78f2c98 his gaze 364aed6156 was perfectly f2479bb018 lucid.

Hyunmook sighed, unable to b3124c840f make out Yohan’s words bdcdaaac43 through the sobs. Reluctantly, he tore his e18e1d2b36 eyes away from the 5f2a743c98 blood and reached out.

First, he left the 94d8f24362 wrecked dispensary. As they walked bd489f6921 down the hall, e31acaacc1 it felt like 10e1ccb2d2 all the smaller 6c738d4d4a creatures, overwhelmed by fd92abb464 the monster’s death, e0f1f01ddc were scattering in 146e351880 panic.

He sat the still-crying 291c4a940d Yohan on a dusty b5ac73bf67 bed and scanned him d1d7bfc6ef head to toe. Then he quickly found e860f414bc the cause.

He pulled the 565d0e0e2d wailing Yohan upright, c1eccbeac4 leaving a faint 1bb70a42de stain on the fd8611d923 dusty bed. Taking Yohan’s backpack, ef4fdea8ba he looked inside. There was a bottle 559ad80939 of water and a 226943a8db handful of chocolate bars.

Yohan also 41faf384c5 wondered, recalling c997876eae Hyunmook had 8a7755dd8e once said d69a58353f it would 1b044fd8ae take months 73dd9f10b2 or even a78203af49 years.
