NovelEnglishChapter 83: I spat (2)
“Come back quick.”
Yuri said as she turned back to Dohyuk, and flirted with him.
“I’ll warm the bed before you get back.”
“….”
But Dohyuk was now used to her and didn’t even blink.
“Run.”
After saying that, he kicked towards Yuri. However, it wasn’t Yuri who was struck. It was someone who jumped out through the ground between Dohyuk and Yuri. Dohyuk’s feet struck the man’s side and the fist hit Dohyuk’s stomach. Both men were thrown in opposite directions. They both rose up at the same time.
“Are you Jung Ilhu?”
“What?”
It was Dohyuk who spoke first.
“Who are you? No- wait. YOU….!”
Jung Ilhu seemed to recognize Dohyuk. There might have been a chance for him to attack in that slight moment where Ilhu was shocked and frustrated, but Dohyuk did not attack.
‘He’s strong.’
He felt it with the exchange just now. Ilhu was the type to fight with sheer strength like Dohyuk himself. Dohyuk knew that he was going to come out and attacked first, but even then…

Dohyuk was the one who took damage. The region allowed one to absorb energy but hurting another, and when they exchanged blows just now, Dohyuk felt his energy being drawn away in a large volume.
“Was it you that made the labyrinth disappear?”
“What if I did?”
“You f*cking bastard.”
Ilhu spat on the ground.
“Spit it out while it’s not too late.”
He seemed a bit relieved as he was threatened. To him, the labyrinth had disappeared for an unknown reason. That’s why it took him a while to dig himself out of the ground even with the little amount of damage he received after he was buried alive. Now, a reason for this problem in front of his eyes.
“Or you will die.”
The ‘reason’ was weaker than Ilhu himself. He too realized it through the exchange from a moment ago.
“You sound like you won’t do anything if I spit it out.”
“Oh, let me correct what I said.”
Ilhu nodded.
“If you die less painfully… oh crap. What the hell am I doing?”
And next moment, Ilhu jumped at Dohyuk.
Dohyuk dodged and launched counterattacks against the fists that were flying at him a snake from the space in front. There was a total of five exchanges, and the result…
“Ugh…”
It resulted in a blow to Dohyuk’s flank. It was right on top of the wound he had taken to help Giwon’s body recover. Dohyuk was thrown away as blood dripped from his mouth and wound.
He was strong. Was he strong as Jung Ilgyu? That was uncertain, but what was certain was that Ilhu was stronger than Dohyuk at the moment.
“I guess you will tell me some point if I beat you down. You know, I’m still traumatized from when you killed me.”
“…!”
“Talking with that bastard and dragging on? I can’t do that.”
Dohyuk stood up and took a step back as he glanced around.
“Stop rolling your eyes. There’s no one around here to help you.”
Dohyuk then saw people digging themselves out of the ground. They were weaker than Dohyuk, Yuri or Ilhu, but it was only a matter of time for them to dig themselves out of the collapse.
“Or call your friends who ran away.”
“…No.” Dohyuk shook his head, “I won’t do that.”
“Oh, I see.”
Ilhu nodded and raised his fist again. Dohyuk then stretched his palm outward.
“Huh? What’s that? Going to shoot a beam from your hand or something?”
“…Something like that.”
Ilhu then scoffed and jumped again. He knew that Dohyuk was trying to buy time for whatever reason already.

It was probably a bluff. And even if it was something, Ilhu was certain that it was probably easy to deflect.
“Try it, you bastard!”
And nothing came out from his palm. But…
“…?”
The area around them suddenly became dark. After Ilhu realized the sudden darkness was due to a shadow, he stopped to look up. There it was.
“Just like you said.”
The ‘Underground Labyrinth’ that was pulled out was standing upright on the ground, shadowing the sunlight.
“I spat it out.”
But Ilhu wasn’t listening to him. There was only one thing in his mind. The steel structure was now standing on top of the weakened ground because of the prior collapse. So, stopped thinking and began moving.
‘He…’
He glanced around, not to look for his people, but to see how far Dohyuk himself had gotten away. The ground was collapsing and so was the structure along with it. Screams erupted everywhere.
“GET UP!” Ilhu shouted as he ran. Fortunately, the tremor wasn’t as strong as last time, and the structure itself also didn’t collapse. It just caused a giant dust cloud. There were a few unfortunate ones that couldn’t get themselves out from the ground yet that were totally buried up this time, and no one from outside was hurt.
“FIND HIM! DO NOT LET HIM GET AWAY!”
People began searching for Dohyuk through the dust. They couldn’t find him until the dust died down, but they did manage to find something.
“F-Four Circle!”
Someone shouted and Ilhu quickly ran down to him. And then he saw the trace.
“…”
At the corner of the labyrinth was a small hall which was just big enough for a man to pass through. It was opened up like a can with a can opener. Through the sharp opening were Dohyuk’s blood and flesh.
