Global Awakening: Only I Can Respawn

The monarch growled, ordering the remaining hobgoblins to kill YuWon.

One hobgoblin swung the club, but YuWon sidestepped the attack at the last second. Sadly, the goblin behind him couldn't and got squashed.

Just like before, YuWon quickly climbed up the hobgoblin's arm to get the upper hand before the creature could do anything. He then punched the side of its head, deforming the head, and it fell to the ground, dead.

The second hobgoblin roared in anger, but learning the lesson from his dead comrade, swung the club horizontally. YuWon ducked and slid between the creature's legs and kicked the hobgoblin's knee, making it buckle and drop to one leg.

"Soo-Ah!" YuWon yelled, not wasting time on the injured hobgoblin.

"I got it!" Soo-Ah yelled back.

A moment later, Skullee rushed to the hobgoblin. A moment later, Skullee rushed to the hobgoblin. He ran up and ram through the hobgoblin, forcing it to the ground, before stomping it to death. Then he kept going after the goblins.

The third and fourth hobgoblins attacked together, approaching him from both sides. YuWon knew he couldn't dodge both, so he made a split-second decision.

He charged at the hobgoblin on his left, sliding under its legs as the creature brought its club down. The club smashed into the ground where YuWon had been standing, but he was long gone.

YuWon got up from the ground, jumped, and clung on to the hobgoblin. The creature struggled to throw him off, but he quickly wrapped his arms around the neck before twisting his hands, breaking the hobgoblin's neck.

The fourth hobgoblin hesitated for a moment and that was all YuWon needed. He grabbed a fallen club and swung it with all his weight behind.

The club hit the hobgoblin's chest, followed by a sickening crunch. Clutching its chest, the hobgoblin stepped backwards. Not waiting for the creature to recover, YuWon delivered a punch to its side.

The Hobgoblin leaned to its side, dropping its club. He ran up, grabbed the hobgoblin's arm, and twisted it hard. The hobgoblin's shoulder quickly snapped, and it howled in pain, dropping to its knees.

Once the hobgoblin was down, YuWon kicked it in the face, breaking its skull and killing it.

Not only the monarch, but even the humans looked taken aback by the strength YuWon displayed by crushing the hobgoblins one after the other.

Now, only one hobgoblin remained. This one was different—bigger, fiercer, and stronger. Strangely, it had no weapons, unlike the ones before. But before YuWon could ponder about it, the monster let out a furious roar and charged at YuWon.

"Eager to die?" YuWon smirked.

With that, he charged towards the hobgoblin as well. The hobgoblin swung both arms as if wanting to trap YuWon in a bear hug. But he ducked and then delivered a quick jab to the creature's side.

The hobgoblin grunted, staggering back, but it wasn't down yet. It threw another punch, faster than before. But YuWon was quicker. He countered with a hit to the jaw, followed by a powerful kick to its knee.

The hobgoblin roared in pain, its leg buckling under its weight. Even then, it wasn't enough to make the creature kneel.

"Just drop already!"

He grabbed the hobgoblin by the shoulders and drove his knee into its face, shattering its nose. The hobgoblin stumbled back as blood gushed out of the broken nose, but it still refused to fall.

The pain only fueled the hobgoblin's rage as it charged YuWon again. As it swung its fist, YuWon ducked under the blow and before jumping up and hit its chin with an uppercut.

Since nothing else seemed to work, YuWon went for the male's universal weakness. Before it could recover, YuWon grabbed its shoulder and slammed his knee right into the hobgoblin's crotch.

The hobgoblin groaned in pain, its strength failing as it dropped to one knee.

"This ends now," YuWon mumbled.

YuWon kicked the monster's neck with all his might. Following a crunch, the hobgoblin's neck bent out of shape and a moment later, the hobgoblin's eyes went blank, and it collapsed to the ground, dead.

Fighting the hobgoblins took longer than he thought. But he could finally deal with the monarch. He turned and there it was, in the center of the chaos.

The monarch's gaze locked onto YuWon, and for a moment, the world seemed to freeze as the two measured each other.

But the next moment, the monarch smirked. It raised a clawed hand and gestured for YuWon to come at him. YuWon didn't hesitate and accepted the invitation.

Without a second thought, he grabbed a fallen club and charged at the monarch. Using the corpse of the last hobgoblin as a springboard, YuWon jumped into the air.

The monarch's eyes never left him as YuWon brought the club crashing down with all his strength. He heard a loud bang, but something was wrong.

YuWon didn't feel like his strike connected as intended. Landing behind the monarch, he spun to see the bastard holding the sword over its head.

Then what was that bang...

YuWon looked down and in his horror, it was the club that had shattered, not the monarch's head. He had put everything in that strike, but the monarch hadn't even flinched. It stood there, unfazed, with a disgusting smile that revealed its rotten teeth.

"Damn it," YuWon muttered, dropping the club.

YuWon had barely looked away from the monarch, but in that second, it was already before him. YuWon wanted to step away, but the monarch's kick came faster than he thought.

YuWon barely had time to react. He raised his arms in a desperate attempt to block the strike, but the force behind the monarch's blow was strong. The monarch's kick shattered YuWon's right forearm, flinging him backward and causing him to crash into the ground several feet away.

YuWon gasped, struggling to breathe. But he had no time to get better, as the monarch was already standing before him. With a smile, the monarch raised the sword over its head, ready to deliver the killing blow.

It's going to be a pain to start all over again.

YuWon braced himself for his death and closed his eyes. After all, he had no way to block the next strike. But just as the blade was about to come down, someone jumped before him, parrying the blow.

"I didn't think... you'd sleep in the middle of the fight, boss."

Min-Joon's voice startled YuWon and his eyes shot open. But Min-Joon wasn't the only one there. Skullee and Gina were there too, pushing against the monarch's blade.
