Auntie Min-jung Senses My Crisis, Then Bares Her Massive Breasts
"What?????"
Whoosh!
Even when Kim Min-jung had called out to him moments earlier, Geum Tae-yang had kept his eyes locked faithfully on Sung Gap-yong. But the moment he absorbed the shocking information she delivered, his expression twisted in surprise and he glanced back over his shoulder.
"Look over there...! That—no, that guy clearly has an erection. Down below, that shape—that's definitely hard...!!"
When Kim Min-jung first mentioned it to Geum Tae-yang, the urgency of getting the critical information out had overridden any hesitation, and she'd spoken without reservation. But having to describe Sung Gap-yong's erection a second time made that blush-inducing part of him register fully in her mind. Even a milf like Kim Min-jung, who had witnessed countless men's cocks over the years, found herself faltering as she brought it up again.
Down there???? His lower half is really in that state????
Still, though she hesitated, Kim Min-jung ultimately described Sung Gap-yong's situation below the waist with unmistakable clarity. So Geum Tae-yang shifted his gaze back toward Sung Gap-yong, who was slowly pushing himself up into a standing position.
"????????????"
And his eyes went wide in an instant.
Holy shit, that bastard really does have a hard-on???? When the hell did he get that up????
Just as Kim Min-jung had said, Sung Gap-yong—now upright and in a combat stance—had a fully constructed tent pitched at his crotch from his raging erection.
He definitely wasn't like that when we were facing off. So... did he get hard while charging at Auntie and A-young????
Facing an unknown opponent in combat, Geum Tae-yang had scrutinized Sung Gap-yong in meticulous detail. Drawing on that memory, he was certain that even up through the moment Sung Gap-yong had slipped sideways to dodge his charge, the man's lower half hadn't been anything this filthy. That left only one conclusion his mind could reach: Sung Gap-yong must have gotten hard while rushing toward Kim Min-jung and her daughter. From the moment the man had started scaling the wall, Tae-yang had only ever seen his back.
"Auntie's right. That bastard's got a boner. Unbelievable."
Geum Tae-yang finished verifying the information Kim Min-jung's side had provided, and concluded that this filthy piece of intel left no room for debate—it was the plain truth.
"Oh my god... Sung Gap-yong, even dead, what on earth is he doing...? He always had plenty of dirty rumors floating around when he was alive—almost as bad as that child's father—but still..."
"Huh... interesting. So even after turning into a zombie, a lot of his human personality sticks around? No, wait—if that were true, regular zombies should be the same. Is it an Awakened Zombie thing?"
Faced with Sung Gap-yong's preserved, filthy truth, Kim Min-jung and Park A-young each reacted in their own way. The demure Kim Min-jung delivered a sincerely scathing rebuke of the middle-aged man's undignified posthumous state, while genius Park A-young—true to her dopamine-addicted, curiosity-driven nature—kept turning over the data, trying to extract more information.
If he really got hard while charging at Auntie and A-young, what does that mean? Was that bastard dodging me just so he could run over and rape Auntie and A-young???
That motherfucker is dead!!!!!
Geum Tae-yang had a more detailed reaction of his own. Once he roughly pinned down the moment of Sung Gap-yong's erection, the mechanism behind the man's movements snapped into concrete focus. He had assumed that the Awakened Zombie Sung Gap-yong, once in combat stance, had assessed the overall battlefield and then bolted sideways to target the relatively weak link—Kim Min-jung and her daughter. But that wasn't it. The primary objective was raping Kim Min-jung and her daughter. Geum Tae-yang had merely been an obstacle in the way.
"Auntie! That bastard's treating you and A-young as rape targets right now. Keep that in mind."
As a man, the situation was infuriating—but this was a combat scenario. The moment that registered, the Combat Mental Master trait kicked in on Geum Tae-yang.
Combat Mental Master
Mind remains perfectly calm, analytical, and free of trauma during combat.
So he kept his voice steady as he relayed the uncomfortable truth he'd uncovered to the mother and daughter he loved behind him.
"Oh my god! That lunatic—daring to go after my daughter! Just try coming back this way!! I'll snap that cock of his clean in half!!"
Thud!
"What. So he thought he could shake you off that easily, Tae-yang? Did he figure once he got to us he'd be able to do something about it?"
Kim Min-jung snapped in fury, pulling Park A-young into her arms to shield her beloved daughter. Meanwhile, Park A-young was hard at work analyzing the intentions of the Awakened pervert zombie Sung Gap-yong.
"Looking at that bastard's face right now, he seems rattled by my ranged attack. That means at the very least he registered that he got hit by a long-range strike and fell off the wall."
"If you read it that way, then yeah—like you said, A-young—he figured I only had close-range options and thought he could shake me with some weird movement."
One of the best gauges of cognitive ability is an opponent's expression. Geum Tae-yang could tell that the Awakened pervert zombie Sung Gap-yong's face had changed a great deal from the beginning. The Awakened pervert zombie was flustered by Tae-yang's ranged capability.
"Alright. I'll close in on him again."
Thud. Thud. Thud.
Geum Tae-yang made a second approach toward Sung Gap-yong. This time, instead of a high-speed charge, he chose to walk carefully forward.
"Grrrrrrrrrr...! Krrrrrrrrr...!"
Step back...! Step back...! Step back...!
The Awakened pervert zombie Sung Gap-yong bared his teeth and snarled. He was projecting pure hostility toward Geum Tae-yang as the man drew near. And yet he kept edging backward. In other words, the hostility right now was closer to wariness—born from sensing a powerful opponent.
He's got enough cognitive ability to feel wariness, and he still pulled that stunt earlier? Does that mean the drive from his sexual urges is just that powerful for him?
Even now, looking at him, the pressure I put on him doesn't seem light—but he still can't bring himself to give up on the mother and daughter behind me.
Still fully erect, the Awakened pervert zombie Sung Gap-yong was putting the defining traits of someone who'd turned into a zombie while already Awakened on raw, naked display. Geum Tae-yang confirmed it as he closed the distance at a measured pace, and used that information to gradually build a plan for how to handle this unknown creature.
In the end, I've got to finish this!!!
—Fwoooooooosh!!!
The instant he closed the gap back inside roughly ten meters, Geum Tae-yang shot forward like a bullet once more. The reason he'd approached slowly just before hadn't only been to size up the enemy—it was also to make sure Sung Gap-yong couldn't, the way he had in their first standoff, slip past Tae-yang himself and target the two women behind him.
—Thuuud!!!
Geum Tae-yang's right hand raised the Projected Iron Pipe high—
—Whaaaaaam!!!!
—and the first mana-charged strike came whipping toward Sung Gap-yong's skull.
"Kyaaaaaaaaah!!!"
—Shhhhhhhk!!!
Sung Gap-yong dodged Tae-yang's first hit with another sidestep. But just as Tae-yang had intended, he never found the timing to open up serious distance.
—Whaaaaaam!!!
Apparently deciding Sung Gap-yong had moved exactly as predicted, Geum Tae-yang immediately swung a second iron-pipe attack.
"—Kraaaaaaaah!!!"
—Shhhhhhhk!!!
But the Awakened pervert zombie Sung Gap-yong dodged that one too.
—Lurch!!
Yet Sung Gap-yong's body tilted hard a moment later. He'd pulled off two evasions, but his balance had already been compromised from the first dodge, and the continuous motion finally made him collapse out of position.
Even if the zombie buff sharpened your senses, and even if the swing arc on this Projected Iron Pipe is wide—there's still a massive speed gap between us!!!
—Wham!!
Geum Tae-yang recognized it and pressed the assault. He immediately shortened his grip on the Projected Iron Pipe for a third strike.
Die, you bastard!!!!
—Claaaaaaang!!!!!
Then, still in its brilliant mana-saturated Projected Iron Pipe state, he smashed it into Sung Gap-yong's head.
Kh... figures?
But the impact sound wasn't a meaty thud—it was a metallic clang. The moment that sound reached him, Geum Tae-yang's face filled with frustration.
"Grrrrrrrrr...!"
Hsssssssssss...!
Sung Gap-yong's head had turned a gleaming silver. Enhanced Skin had activated over his skull.
I wondered, and sure enough—even as a zombie, special skills still fire...
—Shhhk!!
Confirming that Enhanced Skin—the pinnacle ability of the tank-oriented Enhanced Human class—had activated, Geum Tae-yang clicked his tongue and opened the distance again.
"!!!!!!!!!!!"
Then his eyes flew wide open.
—Swoooooooosh!!!!!
He'd thought he'd put enough space between them—but Sung Gap-yong's attack had already reached right in front of his face.
What?? Did it stretch??? Even if he attacked with his fingertips, that reach is way too long. After climbing walls like that, he's basically a full-on beast!!
—Swoooosh!!!
It was too sudden to dodge on pure physicals. So Geum Tae-yang used Transcendent Step to slip Sung Gap-yong's attack.
Transcendent Step
Rapid, friction-defying repositioning — instant evasion executed.
The secret behind the ability that forced even Geum Tae-yang to burn Transcendent Step was flexibility—that beast-like physical quality. From the way he'd charged at Kim Min-jung and her daughter, Sung Gap-yong had already looked animalistic, and now he attacked with an arm stretched nearly ten centimeters longer, flaunting joints and muscle that were absurdly limber.
Eat this first, you bastard!!
—Whooooooom!!!
To break the flow of the opponent's successive irregular attacks, Geum Tae-yang threw a low kick to interrupt the rhythm.
—Claaaaaaang!!!
But even that low kick, Sung Gap-yong blocked through Skin Enhancement.
Whoa... those reflexes are actually broken??? Yu-mi said even she couldn't use it to this degree.
Watching it, Geum Tae-yang couldn't hide his astonishment. According to Jo Yu-mi, when defending against a fast, strong opponent's continuous assault, you usually didn't block every hit with partial Skin Enhancement—you either went full-body enhancement, or you tanked with the relatively higher durability Enhanced Humans had over other classes. But Sung Gap-yong, thanks to the instinctive reaction speed he'd gained from zombification, had made real something even Jo Yu-mi couldn't pull off.
If that's how it is...!
—Thud!
Geum Tae-yang recovered the leg he'd low-kicked with and shortened his grip on the Projected Iron Pipe.
In the end, this is a pure physical fight!!!!
—Fwoooosh!!!
Then he lunged at the Awakened pervert zombie Sung Gap-yong.
—Whaaam!!! Whaam!! Whooooom!! Whaaaaam!!!
With the Projected Iron Pipe held short, Geum Tae-yang unleashed rapid consecutive strikes from even closer range—
—Claaang!! Claaang!! Clang! Claaang!!!
—and Sung Gap-yong blocked every single blow of that storm of punches with partial Enhanced Skin, without missing one.
It burns less mana than full-body enhancement, sure—but it still burns. Keep blocking long enough and he'll run dry and it's over!
It was a situation Geum Tae-yang had fully predicted. His plan treated landing his own attacks as a given constant, and used his overall superior physicals to eventually grind Sung Gap-yong into the dirt.
"This is going to take a while. We might have to hope no other enemies jump in as a variable mid-fight."
Watching the flow of combat and reading Geum Tae-yang's intent, Park A-young voiced the concern the Tae-yang who'd settled on this strategy would be fretting over.
"......"
Kim Min-jung seemed to understand A-young's words as well; she watched Tae-yang's fight with a face full of worry.
I can't just sit here. I have to help Tae-yang!
True to form, protective-to-the-core mama Kim Min-jung couldn't simply stand by and watch. And so—
Ziiiiip...!
—she suddenly yanked down the front zipper of her suit.
