Chapter 11: The Betrayal and the Beast Within

  Recap:

  After 6 days of intense training led by Daesung and Jihan, the Allied Team (Daesung, Jihan, Zack, Jaesung, and Jisoo) prepares for war against the three major gangs: Hostel, Burn Knuckles, and the Workers. With Sakura—a mysterious fighter trained by Jun-Goo—on their side, they step into battle with confidence. But betrayal waits in the shadows...

  Sunday – The Battlefield

  The three gangs had gathered.

  On one side stood the Allied Team. On the other, their enemies.

  Each fighter faced their designated opponent, just like Tatsuya had planned.

  Daesung vs Hwan Doo & Bang Jitte

  Jihan vs Jake & Jinwoo

  Sakura vs Eli & Rowan

  Zack, Jaesung, and Jisoo vs the remaining fighters

  No more words. No more delays.

  The war had begun.

  Fists clashed. Kicks echoed. Blood splattered.

  The battlefield turned into a brutal chessboard, each move calculated—each mistake punished.

  Daesung, fighting alone against two, kept his stance tight. His body ached from blocking Hwan Doo’s punches while dodging Bang Jitte’s rapid strikes.

  Jihan flowed like water, trying to split Jake and Jinwoo apart but barely managing to defend.

  Sakura, on the other hand, looked too calm. His movements, too smooth.

  For a moment, it felt like the Allied side could hold on.

  But then… something snapped.

  Sakura suddenly pulled back.

  He dodged Eli’s punch—but not to counter. Instead, he walked away from the fight.

  Everyone paused. Confused.

  Sakura turned his gaze toward the Allied Team and smirked.

  "You really thought I was on your side?

  I'm the Second-in-Command of Burn Knuckles."

  Even Eli chuckled, stepping beside him.

  "And together… we’re the Deadly Duo."

  Jihan’s eyes widened.

  Even Tatsuya didn’t see this coming.

  Before anyone could react, Sakura and Eli launched a devastating surprise attack—this time, as a pair.

  Allied Team started falling.

  Zack was knocked out cold by a roundhouse kick.

  Jisoo got crushed against a wall.

  Jaesung was bleeding and barely standing.

  Jihan tried to regroup, but Jinwoo grabbed him from behind, and Jake landed a solid hit to his ribs.

  Daesung, wounded and panting, turned to see his team falling—one by one.

  The sound of a scream echoed in his ears.

  His vision blurred.

  His legs trembled.

  And then—silence.

  His body dropped to its knees.

  Eyes half open. No control. No thought.

  Daesung passed out…

  But he didn’t fall.

  His hands twitched.

  His head tilted.

  And then… he stood back up.

  Same body. Different soul.

  His posture loosened.

  His breathing slowed.

  His eyes didn't turn black—they stayed cloudy, unfocused.

  But the aura around him changed.

  Dark. Twisted. Wild.

  This was no longer Daesung.

  This was Crazy Daesung.

  He walked toward a broken fence, picked up two iron rods, and snapped them together like drumsticks.

  CRACK.

  In a blur, he vanished—and Rowan screamed as a rod slammed into his chest, sending him flying.

  Sakura turned to block—but Crazy Daesung twisted mid-air, slammed both rods down on his shoulders, and cracked the ground beneath him.

  Eli charged in—but he was too slow.

  Daesung spun the rods with insane speed—slamming one into Eli’s ribs, flipping him in the air, and smashing the second into his back before he hit the ground.

  His style was brutal. Erratic. Impossible to predict.

  It was not martial arts—it was a violent, primal version of Kali Arnis weapon combat—twisted by rage and instinct.

  Even Hwan Doo and Bang Jitte tried to jump in—but Crazy Daesung fought them all at once. Every strike was meant to break bone, not win points.

  Blood flew. Bones cracked. Enemies screamed.

  And still, he didn’t stop.

  The battlefield had turned into a horror scene—Daesung was the storm, and no one could calm it.
