Chapter 28 : [Kings War (2)]
Yu Junghyoek is carrying Kim Namwoon corpse while Lee Hyunsung is clearing a path through the battlefield.
[A few Constellations are sharing your pain]
[You received 200 coins]
[Some Constellations can't wait to see an epic revenge]

They managed to reach the defenders side, unharmed, and Yu Junghyeok deposes Kim Namwoon on the doctor's floor.
When he gets back the battle is over as the enemies are leaving, some of them are looking even more afraid than when they were fighting.
Yu Junghyeok, to Kong Pildu : "Did you made a deal with the Tyrant King ?"
Lee Hyunsung, not letting Kong Pildu time to answer : "Remember the punch I threw before ? It was strong enough to make him forget his first goal and retreat in order to recover. Then, the entire army just followed him without a word."
Kong Pildu : " True, but he also didn't forget to yell at us that he will come back soon for revenge."
Yu Junghyeok : "Revenge ?! We are the one needing revenge her !"
Ki Kangdae : "Calm down, this guys looks very strong. He has three attribute and he looks like he also have a powerful Constellation."
~Right, I forgot he too can scan for attributes.~ Yu Junghyeok remembers.
Him, so rushed that it seems aggressive : "What are those attribute !"
Ki Kangdae : "Well... 'Tyrant King' of course, which is Hero grade just like the 'Brawl King' and Kong Pildu's 'Fortified King'."
Yu Junghyeok almost forgot Kong Pildu is a King now because of his 'Fortified King' attribute which isn't as noticeable as the other two Kings he encountered. He got this attribute by luring another group who didn't have a King into Chungmuro and acquiring their flag with the same strategy as for the Brawl King. His special skill activates whenever he stands still and virtually adds his Agility levels to his Stamina stats, making him really tough. It even works on the buff he gets from his private property which makes him even more powerful.
Ki Kangdae : "He also is a 'Titan Decapitator', Rare grade, which looks like my 'Head Hunter' attribute and Kim Namwoon..."
He stops talking as he realizes he is talking about his recently dead comrade.
Everyone looks down quietly until Seyna Kim breaks the silence : "And he is 'The Greatest Society Hater', just like Choi Hangyu was, Legendary grade."
Yu Junghyeok : "Are you sure, he doesn't have an explosion related ability ?"
Seyna Kim : "Then it must be a much wider skill than we expected."
Yu Junghyeok : "Right... It's Legendary grade after all."
Lee Hyunsung : "Then what do we do ?"
Kong Pildu : "First, let's sleep. Those bastard attacks us in the middle of the night."
Lee Hyunsung : "And then ?"
Kong Pildu : "Then ? I don't know, just sleep now."
~Classic Kong Pildu.~ Yu Jungheok tells himself.

[7 hours later]
Everyone in the station is weaken up by the guards.

Yu Junghyoek opens his eyes and a blue holographic screen appears in front of him.

He turns left and says : "Still risking our life helping someone else grow stronger, right Namw... Oh..."
He realizes his friend is not here anymore.
Yu Mia : "Are you all right Junghyoek... ?"
Yu Junghyoek : "...Yeah I suppose..."
Ki Kangdae enters the room : "Yu Junghyoek, Kong Pildu wants to see you."
He walks to the Landlords' floor, joined by Lee Hyunsung and Seyna Kim.
Kong Pildu is looking at the map on a table, talking with the Brawl King and some other people.
Kong Pildu : "What about our new prisonners ?"
Brawl King : "The Tyrant King used his Autority to prevent them from speaking."
Yu Junghyoek, entering the room : "Good morning Kings."
Everyone keept talking about the ancient Brawl King as a King in order to respect him even if he lose his title, this was Seyna Kim idea and some think it help keeping peace among Chungmuro group.
Kong Pildu : "Yu Junghyoek, there you are !"
Brawk King : "Good morning, we were trying to update our subways map but we couldn't get anything from Yesterday night's prisonners."
Soon after the beggining of the Fourth Main Scenario the Brawl King decided to gather intels about the other leaders' territory. When Kong Pildu take their group flag and stations he obtains the map and updated it from time to time.
Lee Hyunsung : "And what about the scenario ? Are we really going to fight every groups just for a throne ? There are no penalty for staying here safely and 2,000 coins isn't a lot."
Kong Pildu : "What do you think ? Of course I want to be the Absolute King !"
Lee Hyunsung : "You will just kill us all, I wont let you do that !"
~He sure grew some confidence, I am almost proud of him and it now make no doubt he will survive in this world.~ Yu Junghyoek analyses.
Yu Junghyoek : "Enough !"
Everyone stops speaking, even Kong Pildu.
Yu Junghyoek : "Try to think in the other way... Who else will become the Absolute King if we don't try to ?"
Lee Hyunsung : "..."
Kong Pildu : "The Tyrant King of course, that makes it even more important that I become the Absolute King. I am a bit surprise to see you by my side Yu Junghyoek but I appreciate it."
Yu Junghyoek : "I think you got me wrong, what I want to say is that we have to cooperate with the other Kings in order to prevent the Tyrant King from becoming Absolute."
Kong Pildu : "What are you saying ?! Why would I team up with those looser ? I am..."
Seyna Kim, talking over him : "You are too weak to do that alone."
Kong Pildu : "How could you ...!"
Seyna Kim, talking over him again : "Did you beat the Tyrant King yesterday night ?"
Kong Pildu : "Well..."
Seyna Kim : "Kim Namwoon sacrified himself and Yu Junghyoek almost did the same in order to allow Lee Hyunsung to hit him by surprise and this monster survived their attack..."
Kong Pildu, taking a few seconds to answer
~Tsss... Damn it !~
Him : "... You are right, let's contact the others"
