Chapter 150: Countermeasure Complete

Episode 150

The executives naturally had no choice but to rely on Kim Jinsung.

Currently, the only ones in Boko Haram who were on par with Isaac were Dangote, the master, and Alopsky.

But it was also difficult to send out Dangote, the master of the Boko Haram Clan, at this point.

“It’s a bit early, but I think Alopsky should go next. I need to face Jason.”

Dangote explained why he couldn’t participate.

He glared at Jason with hatred, as if he wanted to kill him.

Kim Jinsung nodded.

“…Alright.”

He had wanted to go out early anyway, so he was about to walk forward without any objections.

But someone else jumped out before him.

“Akuma, you?”

Dangote asked in surprise, but Akuma continued walking towards the center without even looking at him.

Isaac looked at Akuma, who had stopped in the middle, with a surprised expression.

“…I didn’t expect you to be the next one… Didn’t you get beaten up by Bruce, the leader of Hunter Team 1, and almost died?”

He continued to provoke Akuma, who remained silent.

“You think you can beat me when you couldn’t even defeat Bruce? Do you have a death wish?”

Akuma ignored him and continued to warm up, then assumed a fighting stance.

Isaac scoffed and also took a fighting stance, saying,

“Well, you must have some hidden trick up your sleeve if you’re coming out here. Let’s see it!”

He gestured provocatively, just like he had done to Wishan earlier.

Akuma charged at him.

Isaac exclaimed in admiration as Akuma closed the distance in an instant.

“Oh~ You’re definitely faster than Wishan.”

He said mockingly and raised his arm in a relaxed guard.

**Thud!** Akuma’s fist lightly struck his guard.

Akuma then closed in and swung his elbow.

But Isaac, as if he had anticipated it, raised his other arm.

“A simple combo like this…”

**Thwack!**

“……!”

Isaac couldn’t finish his sentence.

Akuma’s elbow strike had landed a heavy blow on his raised arm.

Even though he had blocked it, the impact was so strong that Isaac’s entire body staggered.

Akuma didn’t miss the opportunity.

He immediately attempted a knee strike to Isaac’s face.

Isaac reflexively raised both arms and barely managed to block the attack.

As he was blocking with both arms, he couldn’t avoid Akuma’s following punch.

**Thud! Thud!** Two consecutive punches landed on Isaac’s jaw.

“Ugh…!”

Isaac stumbled backward for the first time, groaning in pain.

His eyes, as he wiped the blood from his mouth, were filled with surprise.

‘This guy is strong!’

He had to admit that he had been a bit careless, hearing that Akuma had been defeated by Bruce.

But Akuma’s fighting prowess was not to be underestimated.

‘He might even be stronger than Bruce…?’

As Isaac thought to himself, Akuma assumed a fighting stance again.

“It’s true that I got hit hard by Bruce that time.”

He said to Isaac.

“But if we fight again, I’ll win for sure.”

He charged at Isaac again.

Isaac, now fighting seriously, started exchanging blows with Akuma.

The two of them engaged in a fierce battle, neither giving an inch.

They exchanged attacks relentlessly, occasionally landing a hit or a combo on each other, but neither of them showed any signs of backing down.

The executives from both clans, watching their intense battle, couldn’t hide their surprise.

‘What the hell? Why is that monkey’s lackey fighting so well?’

‘The Akuma I know is definitely not this strong…’

‘Why does he look several times stronger than he did in actual battles?’

As everyone focused on Akuma’s unexpected performance,

“…Right. I forgot.”

Dangote’s quiet voice reached Kim Jinsung’s ears.

“Akuma gets much stronger in unarmed combat situations like this.”

His unique ability was that any successful unarmed attack would always inflict damage on the opponent.

This was a secret only Dangote, who had been with him since the beginning, knew.

‘No matter how strong Isaac is, it won’t be easy to defeat Akuma in an unarmed fight.

No, judging by the situation, Akuma might even win…’

**Thud!**

A loud impact sound reached Dangote’s ears.

Akuma’s combo had landed on Isaac’s face again.

Isaac staggered back, seemingly heavily impacted.

“Whoa?!”

“Here it comes!”

“No!”

The executives from both clans shouted in surprise, seeing Isaac in danger.

Akuma didn’t miss the opportunity and threw a punch at Isaac’s head with all his might.

“Say goodbye!!”

He shouted, certain that this punch would crush Isaac’s skull.

His fist landed squarely on Isaac’s temple.

**Thud!** A loud impact sound rang out.

…And nothing happened.

‘W-what?!’

**Thwack!**

Akuma’s head suddenly snapped to the side as he stared in shock.

Isaac’s fist had landed on his jaw.

“!!”

“No?!”

“What?!”

The Boko Haram executives cried out in disbelief as they watched Akuma fly through the air.

Why was Isaac unharmed after taking a direct hit from Akuma’s punch?

And Akuma had been sent flying with just one punch!

“……”

Only Kim Jinsung remained silent, observing Isaac with sharp eyes.

Akuma, who had crashed to the ground, struggled to get up, shaking off the impact.

“……!”

His eyes widened.

Isaac was already standing right in front of him.

He reflexively threw a punch, but his aim was off, still reeling from the impact.

Isaac easily dodged the attack and landed an uppercut on Akuma’s jaw.

**Crack!** A bone-shattering sound rang out, and Akuma’s eyes rolled back from the impact.

Isaac grabbed his head with both hands and twisted it forcefully.

**Crunch!**

Akuma’s head twisted 180 degrees, and he collapsed limply.

He was dead.

“……!”

“V-Vice-Master!”

“Yes!”

“Well done, Isaac!”

Cries of shock and cheers erupted from both sides.

The Boko Haram Clan executives were stunned, especially Dangote, the master.

“N-no…!”

Dangote stared wide-eyed, speechless, as Pablo’s shout reached his ears.

“Isaac wins again! Boko Haram, send out your next fighter!”

At Pablo’s coldhearted words, a man stepped forward.

The Slaughterhouse executives, who had been cheering, suddenly fell silent.

‘It’s Alopsky!’

‘He’s finally here…’

Alopsky, the one who was considered to be potentially stronger than even Dangote, the master of the Boko Haram Clan.

The one they had to be most wary of in this Winners Match.

Isaac’s expression also changed instantly as he saw Alopsky.

He assumed a fighting stance with a tense expression, something he hadn’t shown before.

One man was observing Kim Jinsung, who was silently preparing to fight, with particularly keen eyes.

It was Ricardo.

‘I heard that Russian guy is the reason why Boko Haram has been pushing back Slaughterhouse so relentlessly.’

Ricardo, who had been receiving regular reports from Dangote about the situation between the two clans, was well aware of Alopsky’s achievements.

That’s why he had specifically changed the duel format from a team battle to a Winners Match.

He knew that Boko Haram had a better chance of winning with the Winners Match format because of Alopsky.

‘He definitely looks better than the other weaklings who came out before, but…’

As Ricardo thought to himself,

Kim Jinsung, ready to fight, raised his hand and beckoned Isaac towards him.

He was mimicking Isaac’s gesture towards Wishan and Akuma earlier.

“…Ha.”

Isaac chuckled and shook his head.

He wasn’t the type to be easily provoked by such a gesture.

Kim Jinsung shrugged, seeing Isaac’s unfazed reaction.

“Then I guess I’ll have to go first.”

He muttered to himself and dashed towards Isaac.

No, he flew.

“……!!”

Isaac’s eyes widened.

Kim Jinsung had reached him in the blink of an eye and was already throwing a punch at his face.

It was a speed he couldn’t possibly dodge.

‘Damn it! But I can at least withstand one hit…’

**Thud!**

His thought was cut short.

He was sent flying backward by Kim Jinsung’s barrage of punches.

He crashed to the ground, just like Wishan and Akuma before him.

“…Ugh…!”

But unlike them, he couldn’t get up immediately. His brain was rattled from Kim Jinsung’s attack.

He tried to force himself up, but

“……!!”

he froze as he saw Kim Jinsung standing right in front of him.

“Now I understand.”

Kim Jinsung said quietly.

“You have an ability that makes you immune to the first attack, right?”

“!!!”

Isaac’s eyes widened more than ever.

“I’ve been watching you, and something felt off. Why were you unharmed after taking direct hits? It’s not like Wishan and Akuma are that much weaker than you.

But then I noticed that you do take damage when you’re hit with a combo. That’s when I realized… Yikes!”

He leaned back, dodging Isaac’s sudden punch.

He then counterattacked with an uppercut.

**Thud!**

His fist landed squarely on Isaac’s jaw, but Isaac seemed to be unaffected.

Isaac tried to counterattack, but

**Thud! Thud!**

“Ugh…!”

Kim Jinsung’s left fist was faster, landing a series of punches on his abdomen.

As Isaac doubled over in pain,

“See? I was right.”

Kim Jinsung said with a confident grin.
