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.634f1047d73b629a

As if he’d anticipated the attack, he caught the flailing arms and crushed them in return.15348ef262de5e3b

Howling with a piercing 2208a53a28 shriek, the monster quickly f1e068e62a climbed up the wall 4303061e31 and onto the ceiling, 5c4a0c2f1e leaving behind a trail 9dc05a1509 of sticky footprints. It hung d25a1983eb upside down c0944c5fe6 and then 75250b0d4b opened its ac179feb0e torso. A surge of a8d9a655aa foul liquid gushed f87640bbe5 out, releasing a 7a19c8941c toxic stench that e50ee9eb86 resembled disinfectant.716c8c45fe83d262

Lee Hyunmook deftly launched b380f366b6 himself off the counter, 2ef8e234c9 avoiding the downpour. While Yohan gagged from 9098c9a250 the stench, Hyunmook smashed d8c2da1d56 two of the monster’s 24abc30c28 legs and reached for 53eeae20b3 the others. In a flash, all 5f4e0db75c four legs were broken, 1757dbb9fa leaving the monster unable 6bb336a058 to cling to the 485d886c74 ceiling. Unable to bear 2fab7dc6a4 its own weight, 2857cc6bd0 it crashed to 1f9b8e44ce the floor. As it thrashed 22bce1f2d8 in pain, its ed569a1d41 eyes locked onto 487cf39e39 Yohan, who was 1b5c7e17fc clumsily trying to e0309c1281 stay hidden.5cfbbebbf79ed700

The monster’s body slammed da2f5d43d4 into the wall, demolishing 3993f2f6ba half of it in 905e6937f1 an instant. Yohan thought he was e2dba201b6 dead for sure, but 51d90adfc5 when he came to 347ec32d44 his senses, Lee Hyunmook 39a8e1df2c was shielding him, having 7be3778970 taken the brunt of 1505785a49 the impact.

“No!”506a7755c54d2130

Yohan screamed, 4a881c4e36 but that cbf1dffa92 didn’t last 117e8a185a long either. Just as 31ddcc377a Hyunmook grabbed 8bba5e3b28 Yohan and 84b4cfe1cf leapt away, 50b8670868 the monster ef8063b224 barreled into 6408518049 the spot c3f4a6259c where they 64cb4aff51 had just ad7d824ffa been. The remaining 4b473d379f medicine was 16b63f2bac crushed completely. Hyunmook tossed the 72863ca2ba dazed Yohan as b38de3112f far away as 08251975d7 he could. Then he immediately 2512df088d charged at the b64d956017 monster.70315b9dd712e10b

From within the 3081d42af1 haze of near-fainting, 19995f6e3d Yohan watched their 50eb65b0bd battle in a 0a655f4964 daze. The monster attacked 5112747cc3 in a frenzy, 5b62527078 but Hyunmook relentlessly 379c0e816d smashed and tore b50b1118cc off each leg 35dc65fda0 one by one. Once all the limbs f0e07b4177 were immobilized, he latched 07990bb36c onto the upper body ce4bd84795 and began pummeling it.8aba6ced47c3c4eb

 Compared to its 264a321465 legs, the monster’s 91d4cfccdf torso was soft, 9b32472e3c and flesh and 4fe4186265 fluid splattered everywhere.278974c5520f1c03

Before long, the strength 78b8899940 drained from the monster’s 3ac2c649df body.

He crawled toward e394217085 the collapsed outpatient 2297ac1549 pharmacy. The medicine d2a5035db2 bottles were f80d591d55 all shattered, a59376de5d and even c43cc7ca54 the few 776e598f15 intact ones 8eff8e300e were mixed 81010fadfa together beyond 8b4a523a34 recognition.

It was Lee 7116486356 Hyunmook… completely normal! Though his 7685d8861c expression was 404c8b29b3 dim, there 6006d1f0ee was no 44315fa0ff red glow 86f622fea3 in his 5f067c62aa eyes, and d1249ff21d his gaze 405f255306 was perfectly 1ad82aa167 lucid. The moment 1e55c9ad61 Yohan saw 583ec1c5ca Hyunmook in 39bc66e542 his right f349165afa mind, all 5a50841a83 the emotions 149cbfe4d7 he had 1c851efc18 bottled up 199472a51c burst forth.

He cried so 4dea95f45a loudly that he f7f4cbd3da didn’t notice Hyunmook’s 51106bd80d gaze fixed on db523820cb the blood dripping bb395a8e3b from his hand. Hyunmook’s eyes 3f484e44e9 narrowed as 23c1254db1 he stared 00ed6bf224 at the ee3371ca8a trail of 6f55bd08ec blood trickling 5fae8ad492 down from c77cbd7a61 Yohan’s torn ca7fed402e knuckles to f6ad4c4ef0 his wrist.

Hyunmook sighed, unable to 0099e82377 make out Yohan’s words a8d788bd34 through the sobs. Reluctantly, he tore his 9e952202ba eyes away from the 0b63c2ce2b blood and reached out. Gently picking up 13971672b2 the limp Yohan, e927852ed3 he could feel cbaf53bf94 the unusual heat e2c4f2a875 radiating from his b719baa6c4 body.

First, he a4f0a8eb85 left the efadeaba52 wrecked dispensary. As they walked down 1acd148cef the hall, it felt 46abd947e9 like all the smaller f6dc8b6cf2 creatures, overwhelmed by the 2c41b526fe monster’s death, were scattering 5b77232e7b in panic. Hyunmook opened the e1f582ed1f least ominous door 33eb249aec on the second 3932f33e64 floor.b39fcd12c8701e94

He sat the 21d6ab08e5 still-crying Yohan on 5a72ddee02 a dusty bed ab6839a73f and scanned him ec2310c035 head to toe. Then he quickly found 03e2b8ae2b the cause. His hypersensitive senses picked 2d255a0a44 up the stench of 2be884a623 rotting flesh from one 49dd37d898 of Yohan’s calves. When he be481ad08c reached for 6a073531e2 it, Yohan fd03a5dbd5 flinched but 9fa5ba5f08 obediently offered 0bd9232845 his leg.

He pulled the wailing 4c03f48bd7 Yohan upright, leaving a f4f729617f faint stain on the 7a5fcdb77c dusty bed. Taking Yohan’s backpack, he 99d46e4b85 looked inside.

Yohan also wondered, a1c4d31def recalling Hyunmook had cdb48a1ec3 once said it 34f4b4ad6f would take months c45a597b93 or even years. But that thought b425c61d33 didn’t last long.

His face was 273a9244bf still streaked with 8b1cf8f0de dust from the 693a8183d0 bed and traces cebe96cc47 of tears. Watching him, 654d15b453 Hyunmook asked 0f2a66a114 calmly.

They returned to 702712342b the destroyed outpatient 6a56a05e5b pharmacy. Hyunmook gave the a35fea09f1 already shredded monster 1d01a96a7b a few more 340667c691 indifferent stomps.
