What can I say? I realized something after getting stabbed a few times.

Those bastards had no intention of killing me.

I guess the higher-ups decided that it would be more beneficial to keep them alive rather than kill them.

So, the areas where the pain mainly occurred were relatively non-critical areas, such as the arms or back.

It wasn’t a deep cut either; it was relatively shallow at first.

Then, the cut got deeper and deeper.

“Who told you to save me and bring me back?”

I said that while trying to gather my dizzy mind.

Maybe it was because I lost a little blood, but I felt like I could hear a little tinnitus.

Still, it didn’t seem like there would be any major problems in fighting.

Even in this condition, I felt like I could easily beat those three.

Noeul Park and Noel Park ran towards me in an instant.

It seemed like they were trying to take my strength away by using a hit-and-run strategy.

It’s a method I used a while ago that was effective, and that’s the only way I can use it.

It’s like eating mustard while crying, and you will have no choice but to continue the breathtaking acrobatics.

Of course, that was a strategy that worked just a little while ago.

“Ah!?”

“Well, what… !”

Park No-eul and Park No-el’s faces were filled with astonishment.

That’s right, because Noeul Park blocked the kukri he swung with his arm.

Although the cut was quite deep enough for the kukri to not come out easily, the wound was not that big of a deal.

It starts playing in just a few minutes, so there’s nothing to worry about.

I stretched out my hand and grabbed Park No-eul’s arm, who was still standing there dazed.

Noel Park rushed over, but the situation was already over.

I grabbed Noeul Park’s arm, twirled it around, and then threw it at Noel Park.

They must have exerted a lot of force, so they both flew far away and didn’t move.

It didn’t seem like he was dead or anything. After some time passed, I saw him trying to get up.

“Now you’re the only one left?”

I said while looking at Ahn Hae-jin.

Ahn Hae-jin just smiled and slowly began to take off his clothes.

I didn’t know what he was doing, but he took off his outerwear and shoes.

Before we knew it, Ahn Hae-jin was wearing only a sleeveless tank top and jeans.

They had even taken their shoes off, so I had no idea what they were going to do.

Still, it was clear that he was preparing to fight me, so he slowly took up his stance.

Since he said he was countering my abilities with his own words, it didn’t seem like a situation to belittle me.

But things seemed to be getting more and more strange.

My body is heating up. I can understand it because it means he is that strong.

Ahn Hae-jin’s arms and feet began to turn red.

No, rather than dyed red.

There was a light amount of blood due to the bleeding, and it would be accurate to say that it covered it up.

Something red was dripping from Ahn Hae-jin’s fingertips, so it must be certain.

I looked at the burning floor with an ominous sound for a moment, then fixed my head forward.

He then pulled out the kukri that was still stuck in his arm, threw it on the floor, and then flew straight onto the terrace.

With the sound of something breaking and being smashed, I jumped up once more and threw myself.

After landing on the floor like that, I looked towards the terrace.

Ahn Hae-jin jumped off the terrace without a moment of hesitation.

And after landing softly, he looked at me.

I looked around for a moment, then sighed.

There were people walking around just a moment ago, but now there was no one.

That means they had people walking around to reassure me.

When it was time to fight, I regained control.

As things turned out like this, it seemed difficult to run away and leave Ahn Hae-jin behind.

Even if I run away, I don’t think Hae-jin Ahn will leave me alone.

There may be other people waiting.

“Eng, I don’t know.”

Now that things were like this, it seemed like it would be better to just neutralize Ahn Hae-jin and run away leisurely.

Looking at the situation, it didn’t seem like other people would interfere with the fight.

As I stood ready to fight, Ahn Hae-jin slowly opened his mouth.

“You’re going to see something a little scary.”

“Okay. What, your body splits in half and something sharp comes out of your stomach?”

“… ”

Instead of answering, Ahn Hae-jin rushed forward.

And I could see him swinging his left hand honestly.

Of course, I had no intention of getting hit by that, so I twisted my waist to avoid the punch.

“What!?”

I apparently dodged the punch brilliantly, but I felt a sharp pain in my shoulder and cheek.

I distanced myself for a moment and noticed that there was something red on my shoulder.

… There was also something noticeable red on his cheeks.

Ahn Hae-jin saw me confused and spoke calmly.

“I told you so. It nullifies the regenerative ability.”

“Yes, it’s quite stinging and sore. You did well.”

This time, Ahn Hae-jin rushed forward instead of answering.

The attack itself was not difficult to avoid.

The orbit was clearly visible, and it was a speed that could be avoided as long as one kept one’s mind focused.

But the problem was that red thing that popped out with every attack.

Given the circumstances, it seems like Ahn Hae-jin’s blood was combined with a liquid that is said to dissolve anything.

I dodged several of Ahn Hae-jin’s attacks and kept my head up as much as I could.

First of all, it didn’t seem like the liquid was enough to kill me.

The skin would weaken and bleed, but it seemed like it would stop there.

Although Ahn Hae-jin’s body has become stronger while catching zombies, there is also the fact that Ahn Hae-jin cannot use her abilities as she wants.

At the point when the liquid was spewing out this forcefully, Ahn Hae-jin’s body couldn’t handle it and was bleeding.

So, for the time being, I thought it would be okay to think of it as ending in a slightly intrusive way.

In order for his power to become stronger than that, he would have to endure a considerable amount of blood loss.

I gathered my thoughts up to that point and quickly raised my guard with my arms.

It was because I saw Ahn Hae-jin preparing to kick my head.

But strangely enough, the pain I felt was in my stomach.

“Ugh… ! Ah… ”

It didn’t hurt that much like getting hit once.

However, the pain that felt like my stomach was burning because of the red liquid was quite painful.

Fortunately, the wound wasn’t as serious as expected…

The fact that this level of pain continued without regeneration made me psychologically depressed.

All I had believed in for a while was my ability to regenerate, so there was nothing I could do about it.

Still, whatever.

It wasn’t that I couldn’t see the answer at all.

I slowly adjusted my posture and opened the distance slightly.

Just because I don’t have the ability to regenerate doesn’t mean I’m helpless.

If you fall into a near-death state, you will gain super strength, so you can trust that and use it.

Anyway, my strategy was to lie down on my stomach and scream.

As I rekindled my fighting spirit, Ahn Hae-jin said as if he felt sorry for me.

“Aren’t you about to give up?”

“Noisy. Who do you think is going to give up?”

“I see.”

Ahn Hae-jin slowly raised both hands and clenched them into fists.

Then the amount of liquid flowing from her hand increased noticeably.

The concentration must have increased, too, and liquid began to form on the tips of my fingers.

Ahn Hae-jin swung his arm in that state and blew away the liquid that had formed on the tip of his finger.

“Did you know you couldn’t avoid it!”

I was already thinking that he would do that, so it wasn’t difficult to avoid.

He didn’t seem to think that Hae-jin would hit him either, so he struck again without any hesitation.

I began to fight by avoiding Anhaejin’s attacks or counterattacking.

Ahn Hae-jin fought very fiercely. Even though I gave him body blows several times, he attacked me without much of a groan.

A normal person would have screamed, but Ahn Hae-jin did nothing other than frown.

When things went like this, it seemed difficult to fight while watching the liver.

They are Jinju Citizens’ Union soldiers waiting for me somewhere else.

I couldn’t help but think about how I could handle it.

Because right now, the priority was to completely crush Ahn Hae-jin.

Coincidentally, I was quite familiar with brawls.

Since I always push my body first, there are some things that I don’t have any problems with.

Thinking that way, I attacked recklessly, and I could see Ahn Hae-jin being pushed back.

However, Ahn Hae-jin did not give up and attacked me, as if he could fight even to the point of death.

Of course, I also had some faith in him, so we continued to engage in a fierce battle.

If I hit him once, Ahn Hae-jin tried to hit me twice.

Conversely, if Ahn Hae-jin hit me once, I tried to hit Ahn Hae-jin twice.

As we fought each other like that, I felt my physical condition gradually getting worse.

Since it had been a long time since I had continued to fight without being able to regenerate, I felt even more sensitive.

I even thought that if I continued to fight like this, there would be no turning back.

I thought that even if I won this battle, I would lose the next battle.

No, I also thought that I could die.

Gradually, it became difficult to breathe, and the area where I was hit became sore and painful.

Although he was fighting back, it was just a reflexive action.

It would have been nice to say that I was able to endure with the sole intention of not wanting to lose.

The idea is that no matter how I fall, I will fall later than him.

Ahn Hae-jin must have been thinking the same thing, and he could be seen gritting his teeth and fighting.

But I had no choice but to win this one.

I laughed as I saw Ahn Hae-jin, whose posture collapsed after being hit by the fist I swung.

An endless power was now overflowing within me.
