Chapter 134: CH 134: Time Bomb (MUC 2)
Some of the people had tried to escape, but the beasts that were fighting each other were blocking the way. They tried stopping the fight by controlling their beasts, and even Dave had instructed his beasts to stop fighting so the people could leave.
But Hyun had used that chance to summon his own 300 beasts, all of them charging through the entrance with rage and ferocity. And bithe Dave and the people had no other choice but to instruct their beasts to fight them. But now, escaping had become difficult for them, especially with Hyun’s beasts blocking the way.
Kim Hyun strolled to the right-hand side of Dave, his movements deliberate and calculated. "Do you think you can handle me, kid?" he taunted, his voice low and menacing. "Do you really think I can’t blow up myself and everyone in here?" Dave’s expression remained stoic, but his eyes betrayed a flicker of tension.
Without warning, Kim Hyun’s finger pressed down on the red button. The crowd’s collective gasp was audible, and for a moment, everyone held their breath, expecting the worst. "Nooo!" The sound echoed through the air, but instead of an explosion, a beeping sound began to emanate from Kim Sun’s location.
The sound grew louder, more insistent, and the crowd’s panic intensified. Kim Hyun’s laughter cut through the chaos, his eyes gleaming with sadistic pleasure. "Haha, look at everyone’s faces," he cackled. "They’re so scared to death."
As the reality of the situation sunk in, Kim Hyun’s expression turned mock-serious. "You must have thought it will blow up with this. I only activated the timer on the bomb," he announced, his voice dripping with malice.
Before he said this though, Dave didn’t believe that the bomb could blow off. He couldn’t hear any sound coming from it, so his only thought was that the bomb must be fake. However, seeing that the timer had started counting, he’s more than convinced that the bomb is real.
"Now we all have one minute to say our last prayer." He closed his eyes, his lips moving in a exaggerated gesture of prayer, before he opened them again to fix Dave with a piercing gaze.
"You still have about 40 seconds to stop the time bomb, you know." he said, his voice cold and detached. "I’m going to give you a chance. If you move fast enough, you should be able to stop the bomb by cutting the blue wire...but I hope you’ll still have enough time to save Ella as well." With a flourish, Kim Hyun pressed the red button again, and the timer on Ella’s bomb started beeping, counting down with a relentless precision.
The crowd’s collective breath caught in their throats as Kim Hyun’s smile grew wider. "So, who will you save first? Ella or Sun?" he asked, his voice dripping with anticipation.
