Global Awakening: Only I Can Respawn
Chapter 130 - 130: Disaster Evaded?

YuWon frowned. He had hoped the attack would knock the Hydra-ling down, as it did to Michael and his lackeys. As his plan failed, YuWon decided to take some other measures.

But just as he was about to attack the Hydra-ling, he heard a loud gurgling sound. A second later, a sudden water jet exploded from the swamp directly under the Hydra-ling.

The monstrous creature got thrown into the air. The sudden force caught it off guard, and it began thrashing its heads wildly while in the air.

"Well, that wasn't what I had in mind…"

YuWon realized what had happened. [Tectonic Slam] wasn't meant to be used on water. So when he used the skill, it targeted the solid surface under the dense swampy waters.

The shockwave then created enough pressure for a water jet to shoot outward, throwing the Hydra-ling in the air. As the Hydra-ling descended, YuWon saw an opening.

As soon as Hydra-ling came close, he swung both blades at it. As Anna said, the reanimated weapons could break through the Hydra-ling's scales. However, it couldn't inflict deep wounds.

YuWon swung the Noir blade next, but even then, the wound wasn't deep enough to kill the being. However, as YuWon jumped away, he noticed something strange.

A blackness spread from where he had hit the Hydra-ling. Within seconds, the darkness seeped into the Hydra-ling's flesh, causing it to screech in pain.

"What the hell--?"

[Achievement: You call that Invincible? is active. The Awakener will deal 20% damage.]

The beast began thrashing wildly, hitting anything and everything in its way. It slammed into several nearby water lily pads where some awakeners stood. The force knocked overturned the leaves, sending them into the reanimated-filled waters below.

Meanwhile, YuWon had his eyes somewhere else.

This... system.

YuWon's mouth twitched as he read the new title he had unlocked.

[Achievement unlocked!]

[Title: Exhibitionist]

[Description: Flashing enemies? Only a true exhibitionist could come up with such a strategy. You deserve a reward for this!]

[Effect: When fighting naked, lowers the enemy's reaction speed by 20% and their defense by 12%.]

Meanwhile, the awakeners were in chaos. Some were struggling to hold on to the edge of a water lily pad. But the reanimated beings were relentless. They grabbed the fallen awakeners and dragged them deep into the water.

The awakeners tried to fight back, slashing and stabbing the reanimated with whatever they had, but it was useless. The creatures were relentless and kept pulling them until their screams faded.

It seemed the sudden pain had made the hydra-ling lose control of the reanimated creature.

"Well, that went south real fast," Lucifer commented, handing his shirt to YuWon. "By the way, wrap this around your waist."

YuWon looked at the shirt but then declined. If he wore anything, the [Exhibitionist] title effect would disappear. He didn't want to do that, especially against someone with defense as vigorous as the Hydra-ling.

Lucifer stared at him for a second, then he began grinning like an idiot as he placed a hand on YuWon's shoulder.

"You don't need to explain," he said. "I'm so proud of you, YuWon. I always knew you'd eventually embrace your true self and come out of the closet."

"What the hell are you on about—?"

"You don't have to explain," Lucifer cut him off. "It's fine, man. We all have things that excite us. And if you ever want to explore other, uh… fetishes, you know where to find me. I'm always happy to help a friend in need."

"Lucifer shut the hell up," YuWon stared at him, dumbfounded.

"Don't worry," Lucifer winked. "Your secret's safe with me."

YuWon sighed again, rubbing his temples. The idea of smacking Lucifer crossed his mind, maybe even kicking him in the nuts, but that would probably egg him on even more.

In the end, YuWon turned his attention back to the Hydra-ling, who was still flailing around and causing more destruction in the swamp.

"How do we kill that thing?" YuWon muttered. "Getting close to it while it's thrashing around isn't a good idea. But we can't just leave it like this."

"You got a plan?"

"...would I be standing here if I had a plan?" YuWon sighed. "Wait... maybe I do. I'll need your help."

"What do you need?"

YuWon told him what he wanted to do. As the plan unfolded, Lucifer's grin widened, and he nodded. With that, they split up and headed toward the hydra.

YuWon took the left side while Lucifer went to the right. The Hydra's heads hissed and snapped in their direction, ignoring the searing pain.

Just as the Hydra's left head lunged at YuWon, he sidestepped, and the head slammed into the ground, missing him by inches. Lucifer did the same on the other side. Out of sync, the heads couldn't focus on one target.

The heads growled at one another, before YuWon threw a stone at them, getting their attention back. The heads lashed out, but once again, they couldn't target both YuWon and Lucifer simultaneously.

Their frustrations grew and so did their anger. Once again, the two heads lunged, one went for YuWon, the other for Lucifer.

"Now!" YuWon shouted.

In perfect sync, both YuWon and Lucifer leaped forward and punched the heads with all their strength, sending the heads crashing into one another. That was the breaking point.

Both heads hissed and snapped at each other, their irritation turned into full-on aggression. The next moment, the heads lashed at one another, each head trying to bite the other's throat.

As the heads continued their violent struggle, the second head let out a roar. In response, the reanimated corpses lurking in the swamp moved, climbing up the water.

The second head called for them to attack the other head. However, they couldn't scale the body. Instead, they attacked the Hydra-ling's shared body.

The reanimated creatures clawed and bit into the Hydra-ling's flesh. Their blood spilled across the swampy waters as the heads thrashed about. With each passing moment, the Hydra-ling grew weakened.

The two heads, now heavily injured and bleeding from the constant attacks, kept tearing at each other until they had no strength left. The creature let out a last roar before as the heads slumped to the ground.

As the Hydra died, so did the reanimated creatures. One by one, they fell into the water, sinking into the swamp without a sound.
