Chapter 119: Chapter 119- Ominous Sounds

When he realized who it was, he turned around and yelled. "I can see the two of them! We need to get them out of there!"

"Y-Yes sir!"

Immediately, the scouts stepped forward as they rushed inside the forest. By the time they stepped inside, they realized that the cracks had spread so far and wide that they couldn't even find an easy path to reach Talon and Hyun-Jae.

So, Chin-Hwa took the lead as he quickly jumped daringly, crossing the distance as he approached the two of them.

"PRESIDENT!!" He yelled as he reached them. "What happened to her?!"

Seeing her bloodied state, Chin-Hwa reached forward to carry her, only for Talon to pull away.

"Out of my way..." He said in a low yet extremely cold tone.

Chin-Hwa flinched visibly when he saw that terrifying look on Talon's face and immediately retracted his arms. The young man's aura was as terrifying as ever, if not even worse.

Talon then continued moving as if he was conscious of it. In reality, however, everything was now a blurred mess to him. He could vaguely see that someone was standing in front of him but he couldn't really know who it was so his natural instinct kicked in.

"What is happening?" Chin-Hwa blinked as he quickly rushed after them. "Hey, wait! You can't move! You're heavily injured!" He yelled as he stared at Talon.

Just a mere glance at him horrified Chin-Hwa. His body had so many see-through holes in it that he questioned how this man was still alive.

But, Talon ignored him completely as if he wasn't there.

So, all Chin-Hwa could do was move along with him, completely terrified at how much resilience Talon had.

"You can't pass that crack! Let me help goddammit!"

However, Talon completely ignored him as he sprang to his feet, passing the crack with ease as if it wasn't even there. Landing on the other side, he continued moving.

'What?! He can still jump that far with his injuries?!' Chin-Hwa blinked in shock at what he saw.

He could swear he saw that one of Talon's legs was injured and yet he was able to do what Chin-Hwa barely did in his peak health. It was but another reminder of how monstrous that young man was and how hard it was to even compare to him in terms of strength.

*CRACK*

'I will definitely work harder than before to not let anyone die! I don't want to bury any more innocent souls!'

As she continued healing her, Chin-Hwa was called by Go Young-Soon.

"We need to move from this place." He said as he looked around him nervously. "The cracks are spreading really fast and they're going to reach our area soon."

The precise location the students were in was located in a lower level than the other places around the forest and the research center. Because of its level, the earthquakes didn't hit it immediately.

But, that didn't mean that this would last forever. The pulses were growing in intensity by the second. At this point, the entirety of Seoul came crumbling down with no buildings left intact for the most part. The only ones that remained standing were the sturdier buildings that can tank earthquakes.

Chin-Hwa knew that very well. But, he didn't know if they could even evacuate this place as a group. Hundreds of students moving through a very dangerous terrain at the same time is a spell for disaster.

Not to mention the condition Talon and Hyun-Jae were in. There was simply no way they could leave this place and even if there was, where are they supposed to go?

"No, we're staying here." He shook his head.

"Bu-"

"No buts. If we leave, we're all done for. Our best chance of survival is if we reach the research center. We have to continue moving forward!"

"..."

'Though, crossing that distance is going to be a challenge.'

As they were like that, suddenly, they heard a loud noise coming from the distance that sent shivers down their spines. The sound was chaotic and certainly inhumane.

Chin-Hwa's eyes moved to the direction the sound came from and he frowned hard. "No way..."

His eyes squinted coldly. The sound was very familiar to him as he heard it before not that long ago. The ground started shaking even more than it already was.

"S-Sir?" Go Young-Soon called him with a pale expression.

To which Chin-Hwa turned around and said. "Get everyone ready..." Then, he unsheathed his katana. "The war... Isn't over..."
