"From now on, it's a battle against time. So we must be quick." I said as we moved quickly

"We have to make our move before the landlord coalition finds out." I reminded them as we made it up the stairs

"I want Huiwon and Sangah to take Gilyeong to platform number 4." I ordered as Huiwon split off with the others as Hyeonseong, Leon, and I started rushing to the destination.

|LEON TAKUIRA|

We were running up another set of stairs as Huiwon and the others hadn't caught up yet.

"Excuse me, Dokja." Hyeonseong said as I kept glancing back at them while I ran up front

"I don't feel so sure about this." Hyeonseong said as Dokja looked surprised

"The others are counting on me to make this work, but I'm worried." Hyeonseong sighed heavily as he continued speaking "I don't know if I can do this." Hyeonseong said in an unsure voice as I almost reached the top of the staircase

"It'll be alright. I know I can rely on you" Dokja assured as Hyeonseong smiled

"Thank you for saying so. Actually, this is the first time anyone's ever depended on me." Hyeonseong mentioned cheerfully as I glanced back at Dokja and Hyeonsoeng as I was three steps away from the top of the stairs

"No one's ever relied on me, even in the army." Hyeonseong said as I reached the top of the staircase with Dokja and Hyeonseong 

"I would like to hear more about you when this is all over." Dokja said as I observed the surroundings

"I get a strange feeling when I'm talking to you. It's..." Hyeonseong began to say as he reached the top of the staircase 

"As if you've known me for a long time." Hyeonseong said nervously as Dokja stared at him as I noticed something

"Hey, Joonghyuk's friend!" Someone yelled as we turned towards the group of people as they were holding a woman hostage

"Is it just the two of you? Where are the others?" One of the men asked as the woman looked at us with a desperate look

"H-Help me! Please!" She begged as her hair was being pulled out

"Oh, don't worry about her." They said

"She just refused to sell her room to us." They informed as I looked over at Hyeonseong who was extremely angry

"Let her go." Hyeonseong demanded as the one holding her by the hair looked at Hyeonseong

"What?" He said with a irritated look as he dropped her and grabbed his bat

"Who are you? Who the hell are you to order us around like that?" He asked as the other two men walked alongside him

[HYEONSEONG WANTS TO ACT OUT JUSTCE OUT OF FREE WILL.]

Hyeonseong looked at us as we nodded as Hyeonseong glared at the men

[HYEONSEONG LEE'S ATTRIBUTE IS ALMOST READY TO BLOSSOM.]

"CRASH!"

We dashed straight through them, cutting an arm off or two as we ran straight to where Pildu Gong was.

"P-Pildu! Over there!" One of his men warned as Pildu glanced at us. We kept charging forward, with our goal in sight as they started to run towards us.

[HYEONSEONG LEE HAS ACTIVATED THE STIGMA, GREAT MOUNTAIN PUSH LV.1]

They got repelled back as Dokja made it into Pildu's zone

[THE STIGMA, MILITARIZED ZONE LV.4 OF THE CHARACTER PILDU GONG HAS BEEN ACTIVATED!]

The turrets charged up to the max as I jumped in 

"Here!" Hyeonseong yelled as he tossed his shield to us as Dokja grabbed it and blocked the incoming shots

"BAM!"

          "BAM!"

                    "BAM!"

"POW!"

We were both fine as the shield had blocked all the attacks successfully as Pildu Gong stood up with a smirk on his face

"If it isn't the squatters." Pildu said with wide eyes

"From the look of things, I'm guessing you're not here to pay me. What is it?" Pildu asked in an irritated tone as he seemed annoyed. It also looks like he upgraded his skill...

"I've decided to give up on squatting." Dokja declared as I heard someone running towards us

"Interesting. So you're after my property?" Pildu scoffed with a fat, smug smirk on his face.

[PILDU GONG'S MINI TURRETS ARE BEING LOADED WITH ENHANCED MAGIC BULLETS.]

"ZOOOOM."

"Di-"

"P-PILDU!" Someone shouted as multiple people ran pass us, I noticed one of them had a sword wound on their back. Jihye must have used the weapon I gave her...

"Dokja, Hyeonseong." I said as Dokja nodded with Hyeonseong looking at us

"It's now, Hyeonseong." Dokja said with a slight smile

"Go give them hell." Dokja ordered as Hyeonseong looked at his fist and clenched it

[HYEONSEONG LEE'S ATTRIBUTE IS BLOSSOMING!]

[TWO CONSTELLATIONS ARE INTERFERING. THE BENEFIT OF THE AWAKENING SHALL BE IMPROVED.]

Wow...this is amazing...

|KIM DOKJA|

-This is quite astonishing.

This was one of my favorite scenes from TWSA. That golden light...to see it happen before my eyes. I felt overwhelmed, but...this is the reason why Hyeonseong Lee was one of the strongest supporting characters in TWSA. It was because...

[A NEW STIGMA HAS BEEN UNLOCKED WITH THE BLOSSOMING OF HIS ATTRIBUTE.]

...no one could match Hyeonseong Lee's power in TWSA when he used this skill.

[HYEONSEONG LEE HAS ACTIVATED THE STIGMA GREAT MOUNTAIN CRUSH LV.1]

A yellow glow shone from his hand as he yelled and slammed his fist into the ground

"CRRRAAAAASSSSHHHHH!!!"

The floor started cracking as Leon and I quickly backed up out of the range of the attack

[THE GREEN ZONE HAS BEEN DESTROYED.]

[PILDU GONG'S PRIVATE PROPERTY HAS BEEN DEMOLISHED.]

The ground caved in on Pildu Gong and his men as the sounds of rocks crashing against each other lasted for awhile before it finally came to a stop

"Dokja, Leon." Hyeonseong panted as he looked at us with a grin

"If...if you two can tell me more about yourselves sometime after everything is over..." Hyeonseong gasped tiredly as he was grinning widely

"I, too...want to tell you more about me. I want to know you guys more." Hyeonseong said as I was quite surprised, but there was a strange feeling of happiness.

"I'll only end up boring you." I said as Leon answered with "Sure, why not?" 

"Ugh...H-Help me out..." Someone groaned from amidst all the rubble as we went to check it out

"But first, we should end this." I said as Pildu Gong looked up at us with a glare while he was in a weakened state

"W-Why you lousy..." He began to say as he stopped when he saw my smile

"Let's take a trip back to a time..." I started saying "When none of us owned any private property." I said happily
