Unbreakable Chapter 168

Yuri heard Giwon's words and…
"Everyone heard the Judge's words?"
She shouted at the people . "Today's training is over! Go take a break and be on standby!"
The trainees shouted in acknowledgment, but no one seemed to notice that her relaxed and cool posture was all but a lie . It was only Giwon who knew, and that's why he asked after everyone left .
"Are you okay?"
"Am I okay?" Yuri asked back as she pointed at herself in disbelief .
"Why? You worried that I'm scared sh*tless? You know I'm not . "
"…"
Just like Giwon, Yuri was a veteran . She had lived tens of years in the previous life . The city was facing a giant battle they had never faced before, but there was a difference between that and all the hard situations they faced throughout their lifetimes .
"Ugh… Let me go take a cold shower . "
There was more on their mind than just their own safety .
"Good idea . Don't take it too heavily and…"
"Say that to yourself . " Yuri snapped coldly, "You have mother and sister . And I heard you have a lady too? Thought you were living together . "

"…Even then, I won't be held back by them to do my part . "
"Yeah, yeah . "
She spoke and reached to her back to bring up a hip flask . After the supply of food grew to be plenty, Yuri began to distill her own alcoholic beverages that she had been carrying around . She tried to bring it up to her mouth and stopped .
"It was a few months ago… but I told Mayor this . Don't try to take all the burden… everyone is stronger than you think . Let them do their own thing . "
"You did . "
"Yeah, I did . I gave him advice as an 'adult . '… and look at what I've become . "
She hadn't known then . She never knew how this city, and what the people would mean to her eventually . She thought she had adapted to this world; she thought she had been transformed to not need something like this . But, they too needed this city . They just gave up because they knew they couldn't get their hands on it .
Now, they had it .
"I should focus . "
Now, they couldn't bear to let it be taken away from them .
"You go ahead . "
"Are you not entering the city? You have other business to take care of?"
"Yeah, I do . "

She closed the lid that she didn't even drink from and pulled out her whip .
"I only concentrated on 'commanding' for a few months . I should condition myself too . "
She then waved Giwon off .
"Go on . "
"I can be of help if you are trying to practice…"
"Aren't you busy? Go tell the people and have them organized . "
"…"
"That is your job here, smart boy . "
Giwon nodded and turned . He understood Yuri . Not only that, but he wanted to ready for the upcoming battle also .
'We've changed . '
It wasn't sure what this change was going to bring to them, but even if the result was going to be bad…
'I will…'
Never regret . Giwon was certain of it .

"They're moving," Blass observed them and Dohyuk opened his eyes . They were on the watchtower . Dohyuk had already sent the watchman back to the city . It was 49 hours after the 7 regions had appeared .

"Slight right from the center . You'll see it too . "
"Yeah . "
There was a small moving silhouette at the brown hill from afar . There were about twenty of them .
"There won't be a lot . "
This was the information he got from the man who was abandoned by Grava . The ones that the gods took with them when they moved regions were the ones who were worth it . No matter the case, the number of enemies going down was a good sign . The bad part was that all the remaining ones were probably elite warriors .
From the six new regions of Antem, all the fighters were the strong ones that had been handpicked by him .
Dohyuk stood up and turned back . It was the opposite side of Antem's region, and where his people were standing .
"Mr . Mayor!"
People gasped in astonishment as they watched Dohyuk .
"I won't need… a speech . "
People knew what Dohyuk was going to say, so he shot his fist up to the sky and thrust it forward .
It was the signal . The war had started . Ten thousand people began to move . People quickly moved up to the second wall, and Dohyuk also moved back . The space on the watchtower wasn't large . Dohyuk didn't stop there and threw himself down from the tower . The landing was quiet . As he jumped down, he turned back . There were brown rocks all over .
-They live underground .
That was what Blass said . If there were tens of men outside the land, it meant that their attack was imminent . He heard his people preparing themselves on the wall . Dohyuk began to run . The wall was wide and there was a lot of people, so they would need time to get ready to defend . They couldn't wait until Antem launched an ambush . Dohyuk was going to buy time first .
As he ran through the land, something soared from the ground beneath him . It was like a worm, but with millions of small legs .
-Rockstorm Worm-
Tens of meters of the long body emerged from the surface, but the remainder of the body was still underground . It then charged at Dohyuk, and he dodged the attack so the worm dived back down into the ground again . While it dug itself down, its small legs kicked up the dirt, spreading the rocks all over the place . Those rocks shot out like rifle bullets, hence the name 'Rockstorm' .
Dohyuk did not dodge any of them, however . The rocks were strong, but Dohyuk had gained enough strength to withstand everything . The problem was its body . He couldn't just strike it down .
"…"
Dohyuk took a deep breath and prepared to move . Twisting his waist, he kicked with a slicing motion on the worm . The sound of metal clashing against metal was heard, and something was ripped apart before it dropped onto the ground .
It was the worm . It was ripped into two pieces as it writhed in pain . Yet, its upper body was already in the ground, and it was still moving . Dohyuk then readied and jumped twenty meters into the sky . And from where he had been standing, the worm jumped out toward Dohyuk in the air .
"You have no chance," he scoffed . Dohyuk kicked it down . It was a strong opponent . If it wasn't for Dohyuk, the worm would've threatened the entire city . Thankfully, Dohyuk was more prepared .
He had all kinds of options he had absorbed through the equipment .
The worm's head was crushed down and Dohyuk felt the soft tissue from within . And by using his heat, he baked it thoroughly .
"This . . "
"It smells like shrimp," someone said from the wall .
