Global Awakening: Only I Can Respawn

"I already gave you the boss," YuWon sighed. "What more do you want?"

"You gave us the boss?" Park Kwon scoffed. "Everything in this building belongs to us. Even you."

"Kinky, unfortunately, I got a wife and someone else who I fancy. So why don't you fuck one of your crusaders like you did in the detention center?"

"Is this guy crazy?" Minhyuk glared at YuWon.

The crusaders unsheathed their weapons

"You dare insult us? Do you want to die?"

"Looks like you slept with a lot of guys, damn." YuWon laughed.

The Crusaders kept glaring at YuWon. Their reactions were natural. Some were angry because of his remarks; others were furious at the loss of so many men to the Basilisk. Still, it didn't seem like YuWon cared about them.

But for Park Kwon, the situation was more unsettling. Two dozen crusaders surrounded YuWon, yet he showed no signs of fear. Instead, he acted recklessly, almost as if daring them to strike. A person wouldn't act like unless they had something or someone backing them up.

Could it be a god?

To Park Kwon, gods were the ultimate power. Their blessing could make or break anyone in their little game. That made him suspect YuWon had received some divine favor and was acting so recklessly.

"How did you know we'd come?" Park Kwon asked.

"You think you're the only ones who can plant spies?" YuWon smiled.

YuWon didn't have a spy, but he knew how to make them believe he did. He already had a plan in motion. No one noticed, but a wisp left YuWon's arm and headed toward Minhyuk.

Minhyuk couldn't shake it off and soon found himself possessed by YuWon. Now was the time to deal a blow to Park Kwon.

"A spy, here?" Park Kwon scoffed. "You take me for a fool?"

He had brought the people he trusted from his prison days. No one there would dare betray him.

Unfortunately, his trust was about to be shaken to the core.

"A fool? Nah, I don't give that much respect to people like you," YuWon smiled. "As for your claim, would you like to correct him, Minhyuk?"

Park Kwon was stunned. He believed YuWon was trying to sow discord among his people. But to his horror, Minhyuk, his most trusted man, smiled and hurried to YuWon's side.

The crusaders gasped in horror. Never in their wildest dreams had they imagined Minhyuk would betray Park Kwon.

Meanwhile, Minhyuk bowed to YuWon, which infuriated Park Kwon even more. After all the years they had spent together, Minhyuk had never bowed to anyone—yet now he was doing so to someone like YuWon? He couldn't possibly get any angrier than he was.

However, it was just the beginning.

"W-What is this madness?" Park Kwin yelled, clenching his fists. "Minhyuk, you get back here right now!"

"He won't," YuWon said right before he snapped Minhyuk's neck.

Park Kwon's eyes widened in shock. Why did YuWon kill Minhyuk? He was supposed to be on YuWon's side. But before Kwon could process the thought, YuWon smiled and gestured toward the crowd.

"He outlived his usefulness," he said. "But he wasn't the only spy I had. Though I doubt any of them would come forward if I called them out now."

Park Kwon suddenly felt as if he were surrounded by enemies. YuWon might be lying, but could he trust anyone? Even Minhyuk, who was like a younger brother to him, had betrayed him. Thus, anyone could be his enemy there.

The Crusaders were thinking the same thing. Anyone among them could be a spy, ready to strike when they least expected it. They couldn't turn their backs towards their allies, or they'd be handing their lives to the enemy.

YuWon smiled inwardly. With just a few well-chosen words, he had turned the once-unified crusaders into a group of backstabbers.

"Take your men and leave," YuWon said, waving them off. "Sort out the mess with your people first and forget about killing the bosses. Alright?"

Park Kwon clenched his fists and began laughing.

"Leave? Why would I do that?" He snarled. "Now that it has come to this, no one but I will leave this place alive!"

Just like that, Park Kwon swung his scythe, killing a couple of his own men. YuWon didn't move, he didn't even raise his hand, yet Park Kwon's blade stopped before hitting YuWon.

"What trickery is this!?" Park Kwon yelled.

"Trickery? Are you blind?" YuWon smiled.

A skeleton appeared from behind YuWon, holding on to the scythe's edge. Skullee pushed Park Kwon away, and YuWon jumped at him. Park Kwon instinctively raised his right arm to block, but it was no match for the force of YuWon's punch.

A deafening crash followed as Park Kwon was sent flying, slamming into his own men. In the darkness, they mistook the impact for an attack and began striking at each other in panic. Several more crusaders fell because of the confusion.

"Return to Soo-Ah," YuWon instructed Skullee. "She'd need your help."

Skullee grunted before heading deeper into the dungeon. Meanwhile, the Crusaders remained in disarray, turning on each other. Park Kwon had become a part of the chaos, constantly under attack from his comrades. The only one untouched was YuWon, their target.

YuWon smiled before opening the community tab and typing something quickly for Professor Ming.

[Clear the floor. I'm heading upstairs now.]

Professor Ming received the word and hurriedly told everyone to step out. YuWon was coming their way, and the Crusaders would undoubtedly follow him.

She wasn't sure what had transpired downstairs, but YuWon had specifically told her to stay away from the Crusaders when they returned upstairs. She could only assume the worst and follow his advice.

YuWon jumped over the fallen Crusaders and ran ahead. Behind him, Park Kwon struggled to rise, his breaths ragged. But the moment he found his footing, he snatched the nearest man by the collar and crushed his skull.

The Crusaders were stunned and stopped infighting. Park Kwon's glare turned on them as he growled.

"Spy or not, I'll kill anyone who doesn't chase after that bastard!"

"L-Leave it to us, Boss!"

The Crusaders yelled simultaneously as they scrambled to obey, bolting after YuWon.
