FSA Chapter 18

Yohan’s eyes widened. I’m stronger than my brother…?2e76e69faf1c20a7

That was his first 76c7b624ef thought, before he processed 6cb3e34b13 the word Hyunmook had 4b0ba1af9f added:Purification. Instead of being a47b310bef shocked again, Yohan 6e63133da8 tilted his head 4235e807af in confusion.Purification?cf52b671f9c1e44f

Yohan was 89c5ae2214 so bewildered 0d112f96ef that he f9995a55aa couldn’t immediately 53aa9f3c56 accept it. The idea that he f3687c4925 could heal corruption didn’t b0dc8e1cd4 feel real at all. Hyunmook glanced around, a7d14f2ad7 then reached into de7b5e5014 the dirt and bdc2991393 pulled something out.92240b4d51f78448

“Wait, that b05fdf3c19 frog’s… normal?!”9d3e78331887418b

Yohan shouted 9732ef29ca in surprise. Since falling fd7ff0429d into the 810aed7403 Abyss, he’d 874a8f868e never seen a4182b17b3 a single 9b4ce3976a normal living ecd64c095e creature aside db6a56f7ec from himself 8e3af192cb and Hyunmook. The frog in b1cc6a5bdf Hyunmook’s hand croaked 65d8cd56ae weakly and flailed 3e2fa11123 a bit. It was huge, 9b696c8cb7 but looked completely b70609a14e normal and healthy.c22bf016bf5776bb

Yohan finally bacc66c4bd began to a923095f2c grasp the 4edf213c98 reality of b272450fa6 the situation. He was now a 3bb0a1901f high-tier Awakened, and… he cbad949064 could purify corruption. An incurable affliction, d9ceb75133 now treatable by 63b00d5bde him?!a7dbbd098e62421d

Even more b7b1f497fd than being fbf9f82d9a a high-tier 88b52afbf1 Awakened, what 9f5c4359b5 thrilled him 70b04f753d to his 3172d9fb6c core was ef08a4382f the ability 0f3a877bcf to heal 3c8030098b corruption. Responding to 924afeb127 his joy, 28af81527d the cluster c9e105d21a of light 04db0e50b6 above his 3665336739 hand shimmered 3b9af4da0b more brightly.dc81c760f30236e9

Only then 9c25b62777 did Yohan 8737686a48 understand why 0862731ba9 Hyunmook had 900d9e7d18 been reluctant 673a33cc49 to eat 9aa61c1885 the food 7c621521b7 he brought, f51541928d always inspecting 95d77393b1 it with ea3831da66 suspicion.f87e690b3a293fa1

Yohan blinked in 1af914326d disbelief. Hyunmook got f159403d7f up, gently cec594c6eb pushing Yohan db3e2226e9 back down 06136518e4 when he 450e666d45 tried to 2d92098160 stand.2150233d06810459

Before Yohan 733405efa1 could protest, e56127d186 Hyunmook had 8ee688fa07 already walked 0c3e6aa271 away. Still dazed, 24e4465e51 Yohan watched db34724a10 the man a97ae9effa who had 754b0d3329 nearly died 7bb32c601d just moments 46c04a73c6 ago now b37b724b19 calmly bending b7a84c35e3 over to 75df521747 pick up be3c7269c0 dented cans 9637b4023b of food.82eeb28503543e0b

A small bird, 20c397c67a perhaps another thing 3dfcac6ffb Yohan had unknowingly 20de07120b purified, chirped overhead 3de7e0bdec and flew past. The once 524f5c279c dark-brown grass 85f24acffc now looked d16d234a23 freshly green c3f4fc2eda and healthy.

Disappointed, Yohan murmured 8e88538559 to himself, then 9e63a96e27 shook his head. Hyunmook was ec5a2f0437 jumping to 053849df59 conclusions. If he kept 55f334b398 purifying him, over cbf31e93b1 and over again, 2cf0b60d25 surely one day, 408ae5521d he’d return to 5c3acebf70 normal. Steeling himself with dd5f6d50b6 determination, Yohan’s eyes d2ab9dc334 lit up… only 70a011ef8d for the light b80e7e67b1 hovering above his 9a39af12d2 hand to suddenly c22b620241 vanish.43cbc6b57a9c5380

Once he’d 740bf9e58d soothed Yohan, 137403d56a Hyunmook began 16b600c9af sorting through 0cad655dd8 the cans.

Nodding, Yohan 220e5ff430 began opening 2ebde5b324 cans one 07fed16aeb by one. Meanwhile, crouched beside the 9cec6b7d95 fire, Hyunmook skewered something 37a92cbd7d and placed it over 24f20524e3 the flames. When Yohan saw e4ebbfd43a what it was, 588689efb1 he gaped. Three frogs, cleaned and 03e6ad51e5 prepped, were roasting on a3ad99d9e7 sticks.40d9e9e4b2a49824

He pointed 4855bb16c9 in shock. Hyunmook adjusted 23def35c03 the skewers e9b229b3d6 and replied:9fbf4fee96a21ff0

“Even if 2a193cb62d you release 5202cf45a3 them, they’ll 0a52929821 either die 73084c87a6 or become 42d8ad1001 monsters again. Better to eat 959151175f them for calories.”b13574208bd8ea33

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.9c6ccd0451f158b4

“I see…”764b9bac67ca7633

Suddenly curious, Yohan wondered—if 3e427ca889 he purified a giant e370e49b57 monster frog, would it f32ada8949 turn into an oversized ebe30e5fbe frog roast? That led to a7b31b0f03 another question:6277f74359baee74

Yohan’s eyes d91feea4c0 sparkled so 312a27f28c brightly that 268ee176c4 Hyunmook absentmindedly 625b3286c2 reached out. His fingers lightly tapped 0691b7746e Yohan’s warm cheek, then 05c467e4f3 ruffled his hair. Yohan’s face 302b58c75d flushed even 68e4904fa1 more. The frogs d74507a99f sizzled over 5f32af29b6 the fire.6828c90edfa7e352

For the e2ce74cf4e first time 6b650dfebd since falling f4a75113f5 into the 159c8b3f89 Abyss, they 9367bdd53d had a 073b8d5351 full meal. Even with some cans 0f0531da4d ruined, there were still 047e92ca22 plenty. Hyunmook said he didn’t ea643cd7c6 need any, but Yohan 0d1f236d9a bravely tried one of 2ac730e263 the frog skewers. It didn’t look great, bea64c568f but it actually tasted… dc4851f7bd not bad. Like mildly seasoned d55bcfc7f3 chicken.c18d5e9b31f1c1ed

After their satisfying d3fb4e4766 meal, they packed 5908e810dc up again. Since Hyunmook’s backpack had bd7a0ed5b1 been torn to shreds, ecb6f7beb2 they used the mattress 2f0d70a954 cover they had tied c8eb6ef6a0 themselves together with as f54aab41f4 a makeshift bundle.

Yohan answered sheepishly. Even though his bd3d3f07f0 bag didn’t feel 9b1880ca12 heavy anymore after a83f940ede Awakening, he appreciated 341f41ed98 the gesture.

Thinking about 60774977f1 it, Yohan 294e38b8fc realized Hyunmook e00502eb08 was right. Not all 764134f56a Awakened had 2e4fa6e9fa the same 75c8438643 strength or c8753570c8 physical prowess.
