"Do you have a plan?" Ji Yoo asked, looking at the champion with desperation.
"Seems like you have no other option but to trust me, don't you think?"
At Min Sung's reply, Ji Yoo immersed herself in thought. Then, upon making up her mind, she clenched her eyes tightly, opened them, gave the champion a short, affirmative nod, kicked the ground and disappeared into the distance.
"Heeheehee. Where's this confidence coming from? You? Settle this? You?? Ehehehehehehe!"
Despite shaking due to pain, Ace didn't stop laughing. At that point, Min Sung took the dagger piercing Ace's hand and pulled it out in one swift motion.
"Ughhhhh! Aha! Ahahahaha!"
Clenching his blood-gushing left hand, Ace rolled on the ground to and fro. Then, glaring piercingly at Min Sung, he said, "Oh, you don't think that this will be over when you find that director, do you? No one else can diffuse that bomb but me! Do you really think I'll give into your threat when I'm not afraid of death? Heeheehee! Seoul will be in ruins no matter what, and it will become a barren land! All because of me!"
However, Ace's confidence in himself quickly dwindled when he looked at Min Sung's cold, heartless eyes. Min Sung was responding in completely different ways to those Ace was used to seeing in other humans.
"You… have practically no emotions, don't you? But why? Why try so hard to save this city?" Ace asked, his eyes filled with extreme curiosity.
"I have my reasons."
Hearing that, Ace waved his wounded left hand, splattering blood all over the place, and said, "Hehe! You can torture me all you want, but you'll never find out where that bomb is, and neither will you do anything to stop it. Soon, Seoul will be wiped out from the face of the Earth, and it will be BEAUTIFUL! Countless innocent lives will be lost, all because you maggots weren't strong enough! Heeheeheehee!"
Looking at the champion with glistening eyes, Ace, staggering, rose to his feet, spread his arms open and kept on, "You CANNOT stop me, and it has nothing to do with brute strength. There's just no way. Heeheehee! Now, tell me. How does that make you feel? Go ahead! Torture me! Break me! Kill me!"
Looking at Ace, whose face was exuding madness, Min Sung put the dagger away. Shortly after, Ace felt his vision blur all of a sudden. By the time a puzzled look appeared on his face, Min Sung, who had closed in on the terrorist in the blink of an eye, threw a heavy punch on Ace's stomach. The impact sent the terrorist flying. Landing on his back, Ace rolled across the ground. However, he was still laughing despite vomiting blood.
"Ahahaha! Cough! Hahaha!"
Then, sitting up on the ground, Ace fanned his hand and said, "Again! Again! Again! Heeheehee! Clock's ticking! Time is on my side!"
Walking toward the terrorist, Min Sung furrowed his brow and asked, "Is it a time bomb?"
"Heeheehee! At the end of the day, you and I aren't so different."
"I asked you a question," Min Sung said, stomping Ace's knee, shattering it in a similar manner to his arm.
"Aghhhhhhhhh!" Ace let out in harrowing pain. However, he grasped and rubbed his face, laughing maniacally.
"Heehee! Heeheehee!"
Looking up at the champion with blood-shot eyes, he kept on, "Of course, it's a time bomb! This tiny little city will go up in flames, and countless people will die. Heeheeheehee! Fantastic, isn't it!?"
"This day will be your last, and you will never play with bombs ever again. Doesn't that make you sad?" Min Sung asked. At that point, a serious look never before seen on Ace appeared on his face.
"You can't kill me as long as you have a reason to protect Seoul."
"You're not getting out of here alive," Min Sung said, scoffing at Ace.
"If you kill me, the entire city will be consumed in flames! Now that you know that, will you still kill me!?" Ace said. However, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded by how completely devoid of emotion the champion's eyes were.
"You really mean it… Heeheehee! You really are planning on killing me. Ahahahahahahaha!" Ace said, laughing maniacally. Furrowing his brow, Min Sung stomped on Ace's shoulder, shattering the bones to pieces.
"Agh! Heehee…"
Trembling from the pain, Ace looked up at the champion, his eyes gleaming with intrigue.
"Ahhh…! I didn't think I'd come across a hunter like you in a country like this. I couldn't have known in my dreams!"
While Min Sung stared intently at him with cold eyes, Ace kept on, "But in the end, you're just a speck in the sky. You have no idea about the things that are unfolding."
"..."
"If you think that girl represents this country, you're gravely mistaken. She, too, is just another ant."
"You're becoming more of a chatterbox. A way to cope with your death, perhaps?"
"Soon, all hell will break loose, and there will be nothing you can do to stop it. You too will be swallowed by the great chaos. The day the 'Tower of Demons' opens up, this world will turn into hell."
Hearing that, Min Sung's face suddenly hardened.
"Did you say… demons?"
"Huh! You know about them too, don't you!? Heehee! This just keeps getting more and more interesting. Who the hell are you anyway?"
Instead of answering, Min Sung picked Ace up by the collar slowly as if he weighed hardly anything.
"Not only are you clearly beyond the realm of miscellaneous types, but you also know about the demons… Heeheehee! Things are taking an interesting turn!" Ace said.
"Tell me more about the demons."
"It wouldn't change a thing even if you were to know more about them. Seoul will be destroyed, and you too won't escape the grasp of death…"
At that moment, Min Sung pulled Ace closer and said, "Enough blabbering. The demons. Explain them."
"Why should I? That just doesn't sound like a fair trade to me," Ace said with an evil grin on his face. At that point, staring at him with eyes that seemed to be bursting with black flames, Min Sung's expression hardened.
"I've fought those 'demons' you're referring to. I know a thing or two about them."
Hearing that, Ace's eyes shook.
"... You've fought them? You fought the demons? You!? That's impossible…"
"Why don't you experience it yourself?" Min Sung said, his lips curling into a subtle smirk. Letting go of the hand with which he was holding the collar, he grabbed Ace by the neck. With a loud snapping noise, demonic energy started to flow into the terrorist from the tips of the champion's fingers.
"Agh! Ugh!" Ace let out as his veins started to swell up, writhing while throwing his head back in unbearable pain. It felt as though every cell in his body was being torn to shreds.
"Aghhhh!"
Despite being wide awake, Ace was trapped in a nightmare, hallucinating as if suffering from a delusional disorder while hell unraveled right before his eyes.
"Painful, isn't it? Those creatures caused me a lot of trouble when I first came into contact with them, and I'm sure it won't be any different even for a nutjob like you."
"Aghhhhhhhhh!" Ace screamed, his mouth agape, tears running down his cheeks. As if trapped in the gaping abyss, his eyes were filled with hopelessness beyond that of extreme terror.
"Ugh! Agh! Ugh… Sniffle."
When Ace started to sob, a subtle smile appeared on the champion's face.
"P-p-please.... Please… Stop this… M-make it stop! Please…" Ace said weakly, his skin drying up and cracking like a drought-stricken land, his hair turning gray and falling out by the handful. The extreme terror swallowed his heart whole.
"P-p-please! Sniff. Sob. I'm scared. Please! Get me outta here...."
Then, just as Ace was about to fall unconscious, Min Sung let go of him and let him fall on the ground.
"Ugh… Eugh…!" Ace moaned, shaking uncontrollably, covered in tears, unable to look at Min Sung in the eyes.
"Your perception of chaos is mere child's play in comparison to what you've just experienced: pure, unadulterated chaos."
Avoiding looking directly into Min Sung's black, gaping eyes, Ace curled up in a ball. However, Min Sung kicked him in the ribs, shattering them, the sternum, and parts of his spine. With half of the bones in his body broken, Ace was sent flying toward Ho Sung.
"What the!?" Ho Sung, who had been watching quietly, let out, startled by Ace flying toward him. At that moment, the sword in Ho Sung's hand pierced through the terrorist's heart.
"...?"
Confused, Ho Sung's eyes darted back and forth between Ace's lifeless body and the champion in the distance. Then, Ho Sung's body started to glow gold.
