CHAPTER 4

However, for the time being, Yujin needs to keep running quickly in order to find a more advantageous location to fight the two monsters that are still chasing after him.

If there was one more thing that he could have that would give him an advantage over these two monstrosities, then it would be the entire grounds of the institution.  Yujin reasoned that since this was his homecourt, he had a significant advantage over his adversaries and could have easily won a gang war if the situation had been similar. 

Yujin, however, would need to come up with some new strategies in order to be successful in his battle against the monsters that he would be facing this time, rather than regular people. 

In order to do so, the fact that he would be facing monsters rather than regular people called for a different approach. And he was well aware that what he was about to do was nothing more than a wager on chance.

Yujin immediately ran across the corridors of the ground floor. He knew the monsters were still following him, so he abruptly had to resort to finding a way to escape from them. 

In addition to the challenge of evading capture by the two monsters, Yujin had to contend with the difficulty of avoiding the falling debris that was coming from the building. 

It would appear that the entire incident was caused by the tremendous force of the explosion, which shook the ground and caused the majority of the buildings to crumble and collapse. 

He had to get around it because if he didn't, Yugin would end up getting crushed beneath it. And on top of that, it would be the absolute worst case scenario for him to get caught and have those two abominable monsters that were chasing after him consume him alive.

At this point, Yujin did not anticipate that he would unexpectedly find himself at a dead end after another piece of debris fell in front of him and eventually blocked his path.  

Yujin experienced a sudden and overwhelming sense of dread as he realized that, in light of what had just transpired, there was absolutely no other way for him to get away from the two monsters any longer.

There was a hissing sound that came from behind him, and in an instant, Yujin hurriedly turned around to face the two monsters after he had heard their hissing. And just as he had suspected, the two monsters were virtually the same size as he was.

Even though their bodies took the form of humans, he noticed that each of them had the head of a snake. This was the one and only thing that stood out to him as being odd about them. 

It was no longer a mystery to Yujin why he had heard them making a noise that sounded like snakes hissing. 

The reason for this was due to the fact that they were monsters of a lower grade type that took the form of reptiles. It was possible that this kind of monster belonged to either the F or the E tiers, which meant that it was only a little bit stronger than Yugin.

Yujin didn't want to give the impression that he was overconfident, but it was possible that the two monsters he faced had weaknesses that he could exploit to win. 

However, if he were to be completely forthright, it would take him a little while to figure out how he would be able to triumph over the two monstrosities. At this point, he was outnumbered by the monster, but he had a strong desire to believe that somehow he would still be successful.

In the event that these two monsters do, in fact, belong to the lower ranks, then Yujin may still have the opportunity to gain the upper hand against them in the later stages of their fight. 

Almost immediately, Yujin began to look around and focus his attention on observing the surrounding area. The three of them were apparently standing in the hallway. It would be a significant challenge to actually begin the battle in this location.

If those two monsters managed to corner him at the same time, he would be defeated immediately. Because of this, Yujin needed to quickly devise a different plan of escape in order to get away from the two monsters and lead them to a much larger space.

Yujin had come to the conclusion that the only way to successfully overcome the monsters was to confront them head-on and give it his best shot. And because he saw that the majority of the floors were deteriorating at a slow pace, he made the decision to take this fight to the rooftop of the entire structure. 

On the off chance that there is such a thing as the ideal location for duels, it would have to be the rooftop deck.  Yujin had no choice but to immediately begin formulating a plan for how he could successfully escape from the two monsters that had been obstructing his path. 

It would appear that he was able to catch a glimpse of a fire extinguisher that was situated in the far end corner, which was situated to his left.  

The only difficulty that he foresaw in this scenario was that as soon as Yujin attempted to go and get it, the two monsters would immediately make their charge forward and attack Yujin head on.

Knowing that if he actually chose to do that, Yujin would be instantly caught, and he would die right before he could even take the extinguisher out of the glass box, it would be a risky move for him to make. 

Yujin was forced to make a decision about what to do next, despite the fact that the circumstances presented him with some really challenging options. If nothing else, he will be forced to remain here with the two monsters. And he would still eventually die if the falling debris were to crush him beneath.

Yujin, on the other hand, didn’t want anything like it to happen. He desperately wanted to believe that his escape plan could still have a chance of success. And all he needs to do is take advantage of the circumstance so that he can gain some additional time.

And then, after only a minute or two, an idea dawned on Yujin. This time, he intended to use the debris that was falling as his option to use in order to buy some time so that he could get the extinguisher.

Therefore, he immediately looked into the ceiling atop the two monsters.  He instantly noticed that the ceiling was slowly coming off. And with that, the very next thing he thought about doing was waiting for it to fall. 

The two monstrous beings, on the other hand, could not hold out much longer. When the two monsters finally decided to launch their attack towards Yujin, he quickly removed the other pair of his shoes and hurled them against the ceiling above the two monsters. 

Even though it was only a lightweight sneaker, it was sufficient to move the debris that was falling from the ceiling and cause it to crash down on top of the two monsters. This prevented the monsters from reaching Yujin. 

In an instant, Yujin hastily ran towards the extinguisher and destroyed the glass with his fist.

Amazingly, with just one blow from his bare hand, Yujin shattered what should have been unbreakable glass. It's possible that the rush of adrenaline he was experiencing contributed in some way to the force of the impact that eventually caused the thick glass to shatter.

Yujin wasted no time in using the extinguisher against the two monsters after he had finally been successful in obtaining it. As a result of the thick smoke that it produced, the monsters temporarily lost their ability to see, which provided Yujin with the perfect opportunity to sneak away and get away from those chasing him.

And he was able to carry it out without any problems. 

Yujin made a sudden dash for the staircase that led to the roofdeck as soon as he had successfully gotten them out of their line of sight. He was well aware that as soon as the monsters regained their sight, they would quickly be able to determine that he was no longer present and that he had successfully evaded capture and fled the area.

In addition, Yujin was able to observe the very distinct features of these two monsters they could easily track their prey down through his scent. Which was why Yujin had no doubt about them finding out where he could’ve possibly had to.

Meanwhile, Yujin tried to withdraw any other concern that would easily make him lose his focus. He patiently waited at the roof deck for their arrival anytime soon.

And Yujin wasn’t even wrong after he saw that the two monsters were able to catch up on him even though he had just hampered them. 

As Yujin watched the two monsters approach him while they were on their way, he immediately folded his fingers and cast a menacing glare in their direction. He did this as he watched them get closer to him. 

After that, Yujin then told the monsters, “Make sure that you have prayed to every god you know, because now that we have all the free space that we need, I swear to you that I’m going to go all out just to make sure that the two of you die in my hands.”
