Slap Punishment

"Kangho, you son of a bitch! What is the meaning of this?!!" Gaseo demanded angrily.

"I... I can't trust anyone anymore," Kangho stammered, his sword still raised, though his conviction wavered. "My friends betrayed me, and I won't let it happen again."

"Y-Your friends betrayed you?!" Gaseo stammered, clearly shocked by the news. "I see, so that's why you've been acting weird lately. However, what do your friends have to do with me?"

"Sorry, but you need to die, or else I won't have peace of mind." Kangho said in a cold, determined voice.

Kangho didn't want to explain to Gaseo why, at this moment, his sole intention was to kill Gaseo and swiftly move on.

"Bastard! I don't know what's wrong with you, but it seems like you've gone crazy!" Gaseo exclaimed.

"Yeah, I know. So now, die!" Kangho declared as he charged at Gaseo.

Gaseo smirked with confidence, choosing to stand still this time. He knew all too well that Kangho's attack lacked the strength to harm, let alone kill him. Having confronted the formidable Rank 1 and 2 Demon Leaders not too long ago, Gaseo considered facing someone like Kangho a mere walk in the park—a challenge not even worthy of comparison to his recent battles.

DIAGONAL SLASH!!!

CLANG!!!

Kangho's sword hit Gaseo's left shoulder and stopped there.

'What?! How is he still standing?! No way, what's going on?!' Kangho thought.

Kangho didn't stop there, and continued to attack Gaseo a few more times.

HORIZONTAL SLASH!!!

DIAGONAL SLASH!!!

VERTICAL SLASH!!!

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

Kangho felt as if each strike landed on Gaseo was akin to hitting solid metal, despite the seemingly ordinary appearance of Gaseo's clothes.

'You've got to be kidding me?! Since when did Gaseo become this powerful?!' Kangho thought.

If Gaseo hadn't reached the A-Class level, he wouldn't have stood a chance against Kangho. Unfortunately, Kangho picked the wrong time to challenge Gaseo.

During this time, Gaseo laughed out loud evilly.

"Hahahahahahaha!!! Bahahahahahahaha!!!"

For the first time in Kangho's life, he felt genuinely scared of Gaseo. It seemed clear that the situation wasn't in his favor, and the thought of not making it out alive crossed his mind.

"Y-You bastard! Since when did you get this powerful?! How dare you lie and keep it a secret from me?!" Kangho said.

After a good ten to fifteen seconds of laughter, Gaseo calmed down and replied, "Well, you didn't ask me, so how's that my fault? After all, in your mind, you've always looked down on me and considered me a loser, right?"

In a blink of an eye, Gaseo appeared in front of Kangho, grabbed his neck, and lifted him in the air. It happened so fast that Kangho couldn't react.

"Kekeke! How does it feel? I bet you're feeling hopeless now, right?" Gaseo said.

Kangho stood in stunned silence; he couldn't believe Gaseo's incredible speed.

At this time, Kangho knew he was fucked.

"'G-Goo... fuk... yourself, you fuc...king...lo...serrr!!!" Kangho stammered, his words muffled by Gaseo's tight grip on his throat.

"What did you just say?! Speak properly! I can't hear you!" Gaseo said.

During this moment, Gaseo came to the realization that he was at fault for gripping Kangho's throat too tightly. Acknowledging this, he promptly loosened his grip, allowing Kangho to speak more easily.

"PUAAAA...!!!" Kangho exclaimed, finally able to breathe properly.

"Haha, my mistake. My bad, I didn't see that." Gaseo apologized.

"You fucking loser!!! Go fuck yourself, bitch!!!" Kangho said angrily.

PAA!!!

SLAP!!!

Gaseo delivered a hard slap to Kangho's face, using it as a form of punishment in response to Kangho's earlier curse.

"You fucking bastard!! You dare to slap me?!!" Kangho exclaimed, his anger escalating even further.

PAA!!!

SLAP!!!

Gaseo slapped Kangho again.

The slap from Gaseo fueled Kangho's anger, prompting him to retaliate by launching an attack against Gaseo.

"Grrr!!! You son of a bitch! Die!!!"

HORIZONTAL SLASH!!!

DIAGONAL SLASH!!!

VERTICAL SLASH!!!

THRUST!!!

"Die!!! Die!!! Die!!! Die!!! Die!!! Die!!! Die!!!"

Kangho's furious screams echoed with every strike as he unleashed his anger on Gaseo.

Gaseo didn't bother to block; he just smirked and picked his nose. To him, the ongoing attacks seemed like a free massage, and he oddly enjoyed the situation.

'Don't stop, Kangho! Keep doing it! I love it! Hahaha!' Gaseo thought.

Gaseo genuinely enjoys the sword-attack massage, so he secretly wishes Kangho wouldn't stop.

After approximately five to seven minutes, Kangho became exhausted and ceased his attacks on Gaseo. It appeared that Kangho was so consumed by anger that he wasn't even aware of his own actions.

"Huff! Huff! Huff!" Kangho gasped, trying to catch his breath.

"Oh, you done? Took you long to calm your anger, huh? Well, I'm not surprised as you've always been that type of person." Gaseo said.

"Shut the fuck up, you pathetic loser!" Kangho shouted, frustration evident in his voice as he addressed Gaseo.

PAA!!!

SLAP!!!

Gaseo slapped Kangho again.

"You bastard!! You dare to slap me again?!"

PAA!!!

SLAP!!!

"Keep talking, bitch! And I'll keep slapping you!"

This time, Kangho remained quiet as he didn't want to get slapped again.

PAA!!!

SLAP!!!

"Grrr!!! You son of a bitch! What was that for?!"

"Keep showing your anger, and I'll keep slapping you!"

"Bastard! I already kept my mouth shut, so what else do you want?!"

PAA!!!

SLAP!!!

"Watch your language, you motherfucker!"

"Fuck you! Fuck you! You fucking loser! Suck my fucking d**k!" Kangho said, while showing his two middle fingers at Gaseo.

PAA!!!

SLAP!!!

"Grrrrr!!! You think I care?! Go to hell, you fucking loser! Fuck you!" Kangho said.

PAA!!!

SLAP!!!

"Well, keep talking! I'm free the whole night, so I don't mind slapping you until you learn your lesson."

"Learn my lesson?! Fuck you, bitch! You think I give a fuck?! Fuck you!"

PAA!!!

SLAP!!!

"Cool, you wanna play games with me, huh? Well, let's see how long you can survive my slap."

Gaseo's slap was so powerful that Kangho's face started to swell.

"Bring it on, bitch! You think I fucking care?!! Suck my fucking d**k, you loser!!"

BAAAMM!!!

SMACK!!!

This time Gaseo didn't slap, but smacked Kangho.

The smack was so powerful that Kangho flew eight meters to the left and crashed into a tree.
