Unbreakable

Chapter 112: City of God (4)

Sunghyun stopped speaking as he was shocked.

“I’m not only talking to you. If there’s anyone who thinks that I’m making the wrong choice, that is because you are weak. You cannot do anything with your own powers. If you think it’s unfair, become powerful.”

Yuri silently mouthed an ‘oh’ from behind.

‘That’s interesting.’

It was basic logic. You are weak. If you have a problem, become strong.

In fact, that was the primary rule throughout the entire world right now. It was just that it was surprising to hear it come from Dohyuk himself.

“So... so you were just...”

The boy frowned as he dropped the sickle. His leg shook and tears began to pour from his eyes.

“You are just like them in the end...”

“No, you are wrong,” Dohyuk eyed him coldly. “I told you the answer. Become strong.”

“What are you...”

“Like I said, the reason why you wish to kill Jung Ilgyu is because you are weak. What do you think you would do if you were stronger than him right now?”

Dohyuk pointed at Ilgyu’s cross.

“Think. If you are stronger and you can easily tie him to that cross anytime you want even if that bastard is in perfect condition, would you still die for vengeance? To kill him?”

“...”

“No. You will be different. You will find another way to make him suffer and live like trash rather than kill him out of misery. Maybe you’ll take him out of the prison sometime if you feel gloomy so you can beat him up and put him back in. Something like that.”

That is...

Obvious, Yuri thought, and so did Sunghyun. However, there was a simple reason to not agree with those words.

“Bullsh*t...”

“What of it?”

“Not everyone can be like you! Stronger than him? That’s easy for you to say! Do you think I lost my family because I wanted to? If I knew how to be strong...!!”

Sunghyun then stopped in the middle of his sentence. It seemed like his voice was also being amplified through the city. A hand was placed over his shoulder.

“There is a way.” Dohyuk looked down at him, “To make you become strong.”

He had a very bright smile on his face. “I, too, was much weaker until I fought Jung Ilgyu.”

Then he pointed at Blass who had been watching it all unfold silently.

“Let me introduce you. He is the warden of the prison and the instructor to teach you how to fight.”

The words he said were enough to make everyone including Sunghyun open their eyes in shock. He was the warrior who fought against the illumination until the end.

“He was unlucky, so he had to hide underground for centuries... but now he’s out here and he taught me how to fight. He has the strongest weapon that the weak can use to fight against the strong.”

He did exaggerate a bit, but what everyone was going to be astonished about had yet to come.

“And with that weapon, I defeated Jung Ilgyu.”

Dohyuk looked up and now everyone was listening to him.

“Anyone is welcome! If you want, do your work and come visit the instructor for a lesson. He will teach you everything that he taught me. And if you become stronger than those you want to kill out of these prisoners...”

Dohyuk promised, “I will allow you to beat them up in a fight or even kill them. But of course, that’s only if you wish to do such a thing. From what I see, if you become that strong, you will not wish to do that. ...Hmph.”

Dohyuk scratched his head and glanced at Blass.

“But our instructor here needs to know how many volunteers we have... so let’s do this. If you want a lesson, stop what you are doing and gather up at the tent. I will give you 30 minutes.”

Before he could finish, people began rushing out of the city wall. And within ten minutes...

“...”

Blass saw the ‘entire’ city population gathering at the designated location. Of course, Sunghyun was there also.

“How do you like it?” Dohyuk grinned at Blass.

“I don’t know what you were going to ask me to do, but those people are my payment.”

Thirty thousand uncorrupt people yearned to be taught how to become strong, and to learn the ways that Blass had studied and trained alone for over centuries.

“Quick, I need an answer. People are cold.”

“...”

Blass wordlessly moved back into the labyrinth.

Then, the metal labyrinth began changing its shape to form the prison that Dohyuk had requested it to be.
