FSA Chapter 18
by camiYohan’s eyes widened. I’m stronger than my brother…?ff896cd139a002d5
That was c564f5d0b9 his first c596e0a9ba thought, before f89b0b3021 he processed 062fed5bf2 the word 09083460eb Hyunmook had 3ba7859b95 added:Purification. Instead of 55bd1c92a6 being shocked 8bcbaa5627 again, Yohan 83b111072f tilted his 0e3932306c head in 74134559cb confusion.Purification?63c58046890b3693

Yohan was so bewildered 3f0c9f0c06 that he couldn’t immediately 1d0d88d204 accept it. The idea that 76acb9c09f he could heal b02f43b724 corruption didn’t feel 90e0d5a83e real at all. Hyunmook glanced around, then c68fcf6b51 reached into the dirt feba03d988 and pulled something out.5a66b51bc482e15c
A frog.e0a649079d0227ed

“Wait, that frog’s… 586fe99aba normal?!”d903d13f4217ab16
Yohan shouted a195fce13d in surprise. Since falling into the 3f62f5aa9a Abyss, he’d never seen ff3f00a606 a single normal living fc56f7623d creature aside from himself 2811b15bbf and Hyunmook. The frog in Hyunmook’s b7211e8904 hand croaked weakly and 20a1fd56a2 flailed a bit. It was huge, but 0147604e6d looked completely normal and 6f6b62ba9f healthy.b9835f35bde20696

Yohan finally began 1a09a55edc to grasp the 2b392d82ab reality of the 9a002da573 situation. He was fb561fed3d now a 0ac66a4374 high-tier Awakened, 22c26d7aa2 and… he 1e0ccfcfa9 could purify 6560fab98d corruption. An incurable affliction, now f6f485192e treatable by him?!316bceaca3d7cf3f
Even more than being 36bd72d71f a high-tier Awakened, what 2b819fa049 thrilled him to his b8ec602a32 core was the ability 7b66c46c1a to heal corruption. Responding to ff3b02dc3b his joy, f74e7c823e the cluster 71ee632e4d of light 713b243bde above his 44d530951c hand shimmered b17ed9eaa6 more brightly.f3a2ac31678ff246

“No wonder things felt d75fea5c0d off. Usually, food starts e81a455470 to rot or a6324388ff mutate the moment e85dbf65cb it enters the c47be59340 Abyss. But the stuff you f6a8e0a278 picked up somehow stayed 63ebe56b96 edible. You, too, 80d5fa5002 no matter 6122ea7bbd how much 9bfcb40980 time passed, a283e76bd2 never showed 6564dd6f85 signs of aabfa2c131 corruption.”c2f7eb35fa39da6e
Only then 64aa9f1728 did Yohan df81095be5 understand why 7740fdc603 Hyunmook had 320660d0a4 been reluctant 870bcab1cf to eat 20fbc1b344 the food 6c5ddd8d3b he brought, e2c042d295 always inspecting 6d26bac574 it with 1d251679d7 suspicion.98aa7c4429e94b6d

Would he never have to face the terrifying “Mad” Hyunmook again? Yohan asked, practically bouncing with excitement. Hyunmook smiled faintly and replied:c5b2681e0051cf05

Yohan blinked in disbelief. Hyunmook got c65c86f71d up, gently fe0cc6958b pushing Yohan 5a0618e32b back down f0a107b299 when he 42666459a0 tried to b7365cb177 stand.9e99355498b08027

Before Yohan could 32db0e7f62 protest, Hyunmook had 35e53c6d51 already walked away. Still dazed, 539973399f Yohan watched 41cbc238cc the man 1695724131 who had b392cf8aef nearly died 1caf0610b1 just moments fa9a2a1a4b ago now de55402ae2 calmly bending 8aa19de226 over to 9a7ec2f1df pick up 3b884a5577 dented cans 0ef8080ce8 of food.1c85c9563c597cde

A small bird, perhaps 58bfb8112d another thing Yohan had 19978bf715 unknowingly purified, chirped overhead 4e01c99bcc and flew past. The once 357f62e751 dark-brown grass 756e61fec7 now looked cdff532ce2 freshly green 9bae86b11a and healthy. Within the radius of 5c67169c05 Yohan’s ability, even something 8e71957118 like sunlight seemed to 91ec566e78 faintly shine.89e783f8fd6ecd59

Disappointed, Yohan murmured bfc7dd3736 to himself, then 27b2261db8 shook his head. Hyunmook was jumping 8821d85148 to conclusions. If he 31169c229f kept purifying 475f23f276 him, over ea7580efc5 and over 1cfe2ee531 again, surely 2c6763abaa one day, 286404157b he’d return 219c6028be to normal. Steeling himself with determination, c10dbc8fbf Yohan’s eyes lit up… 33648c502b only for the light d8a058dbb7 hovering above his hand 44185540e7 to suddenly vanish.179c8c856e3656f8

“What’s wrong?”cb32326707d622f4
Hyunmook returned, arms 00ecd592e5 full of cans, 7326afe451 and set them ee4834f3a8 down on the 272f6a3cc7 ground. Yohan, flustered 90077dbef4 and panicked, 0a886db008 cried out:353821e33ff7daca

Hyunmook’s calm 245f3b1867 demeanor helped d3c06a12b7 settle Yohan’s 888eb00209 panic. As he bd3cf7b496 said, Yohan c056eae9f1 did feel 1c9f24ab5a kind of… d24a981c8e drained.148615b1af059d00
Once he’d 05be5e63f6 soothed Yohan, 7bd0798027 Hyunmook began ca56057a2b sorting through 3f2e805b62 the cans. About one-third 7b564fa251 were too dc437c2d92 damaged or cc9ed24ab2 contaminated to 85d61c9426 eat, another 72fb629245 third were 4a89ba9b15 dented or 3134adb5eb leaking. Only the remaining third 21d550a7b8 were still intact. Yohan looked on in f55e45c7fe despair.940350cfba231509

Nodding, Yohan began 93be22c8a4 opening cans one bd311bb546 by one. Meanwhile, crouched beside the e95b7b3fbb fire, Hyunmook skewered something 7f7654fa20 and placed it over 86e9e189c3 the flames. When Yohan saw what f4723c013e it was, he gaped. Three frogs, cleaned d6e3d55456 and prepped, were 771de5dc6b roasting on sticks.776ff7524227c529

He pointed a29b8ac56a in shock. Hyunmook adjusted 2f3e2ceba0 the skewers 59c94a3117 and replied:6f66bb106b201b5f
“Even if 0dbef8cfd3 you release a3931d0d26 them, they’ll 09fd57a8bd either die df6f5b1296 or become c5d7102db7 monsters again. Better to eat them ae859025b7 for calories.”b9b763a84512445f

Though it was a bit of a shock, Yohan realized Hyunmook had a point. He remembered when “Mad Hyunmook” once served up rotten monster frog legs and called them a side dish. Compared to that, this roast frog looked actually edible.068d7d8acf6c74e1

The biggest frog Yohan 37686b2da1 had ever heard of e7eae21dc9 was a bullfrog, but 63019e9776 these looked way bigger, 258b76a707 almost chicken-sized.b32e5909cf1aecfb

“I see…”b98824b3dc24f345
Suddenly curious, Yohan 3007c7b428 wondered—if he purified 88f6dd5df0 a giant monster adc7cdc447 frog, would it 1eecb30727 turn into an 270c5b13bc oversized frog roast? That led 7690313eac to another 98e351fa36 question:71610f587c450bc5

Yohan’s eyes 24743ebb8c sparkled so e36e556f91 brightly that 76e0be9b5c Hyunmook absentmindedly 966f1fa5ea reached out. His fingers f10f07d30d lightly tapped a0c29bbcb9 Yohan’s warm 03f7706b47 cheek, then 6f83d392c8 ruffled his bba265e1cd hair. Yohan’s face flushed even ef97474d7a more. The frogs f0ee1c51b0 sizzled over 5b0356b45d the fire.b143114ef11e061d
For the first time 81fdf06453 since falling into the 0bb95098c7 Abyss, they had a 6ee88daf43 full meal. Even with some cans 8b7e9bfd28 ruined, there were still 8f2ff3f483 plenty. Hyunmook said he c010c29002 didn’t need any, 370cbe2340 but Yohan bravely 04efd1262b tried one of 73013e01f2 the frog skewers. It didn’t look great, 012bc93695 but it actually tasted… 2e4cd8e90d not bad. Like mildly seasoned chicken.d1d91bdc1b3fba5a

After their c3ab5a3cb7 satisfying meal, fde7d397f4 they packed 1f6f495ec2 up again. Since Hyunmook’s backpack had 65b4f81220 been torn to shreds, cddc3b1129 they used the mattress 67ff981381 cover they had tied dbb0b7ce46 themselves together with as e97aa7e702 a makeshift bundle.

Yohan answered sheepishly. Even though his bag d4c3201264 didn’t feel heavy anymore 4f6710ab50 after Awakening, he appreciated 2f5cee7c67 the gesture.

Thinking about it, ec3406871d Yohan realized Hyunmook e1ee54c0c9 was right. Not all Awakened had 2ae164b10e the same strength or f1d8f87fdc physical prowess. Melee dealers and f6522a7c3f tanks like Hyunmook d680f2f124 were strongest among 9f110c2b4a equals, followed by 4b2b2a2036 supporters, then healers.40d002b938f60124
