Volume 9 / Chapter 237

Raid captain slapped his cheek covered by his battlesuit, and woke himself up.

He thought he had been dreaming.

He briefly looked over the mission description, but the reward points were 8 billion.

This means the mutant in front of him is a level 8, and a top level 8 at that.

It doesn’t make sense. It feels like he is experiencing all of the bad luck he would have suffered from throughout his entire life right now.

“Cap – Captain…”

“Stay – Stay calm.”

The Lifers couldn’t remain calm.

They thought that today could be the last day of their lives.

A level 8 is a nightmare.

‘He’s pretty qualified as a captain.’

Cha Jun Sung kept an eye on the raid captain’s behavior in the midst of this excitement. He doesn’t know about the captain’s abilities, but he seems to have talent as a leader. He becomes rational rather than panicking. He is thinking.

Papapat!

As the head was blocked, the Lifers who had followed behind were stopped in flight. Hundreds of them have been blocked by Cha Jun Sung.

“Damn it! They are leaving the allied guild!”

“Damn!”

Lifers checked the mission description and left the battlefield.

They cannot return immediately, but they intend on running away.

3 forces of personnel got away as soon as Cha Jun Sung appeared.

He didn’t even want to know what they looked like.

They are all Lifers with a lot of experience. They can come up with a rough idea just by looking at the reward points.

Even a mission worth tens of thousands of points is difficult, but this isn’t something in the millions but billions. There’s no answer.

“Sh – Should we attack?”

“No! Wait!”

The captain quickly stopped his subordinate from taking action. Success is the only way for them to survive, but this mutant’s attitude is strange. All he does is watch them.

“If he’s a level 8, his intelligence will be similar to ours. We can just think that we’ve run into another person. Talking to him might work. Battle is our final option.”

[He is a wise leader. He wants to get control over the situation rather than challenge Lifer Cha Jun Sung. I think that it will end well.]

Odin translates the Lifers’ language for him.

It is hard to say where exactly they are from because they use several different languages, but the captain in charge speaks in Ukranian. He is from a country in Eastern Europe.

Cha Jun Sung looks behind him.

The Queen Bomb Ant, who had run far away, has stopped and is watching them from afar.

Wouldn’t she think of getting her Bomb Ants together and coming back?

She really is a sly bitch.

She is acting as if they had never been running away, to come back and use Cha Jun Sung like a counterattack tool.

[Go back, you stupid bitch.]

Cha Jun Sung’s roar was translated, browbeating the Queen Bomb Ant. This stable atmosphere will be completely ruined as soon as she comes back.

The level 8 vicious roar frighten the Queen Bomb Ant and Bomb Ants and make them retreat.

His roar had this kind of effect even from afar.

There is no need to try to put into words how it was for the hundreds of Lifers near him.

Tang!

Cha Jun Sung felt a stinging pain in his shoulder and turned his head. It is a bullet twice the length of a human finger, from a reinforced rifle.

It didn’t go all the way in. This amount of force cannot get through his skin. It is so weakly stuck that it would fall out if he flexed his muscles.

It is situation that no one had been expecting. The area was swept in silence.

The Lifer who had pulled the trigger realized what he had done and began shaking in fear.

He attacked a level 8. He felt like he might go crazy.

His finger had relaxed under the extreme tension, and he had fired his reinforced rifle. But it had unfortunately hit Cha Jun Sung’s shoulder.

Cha Jun Sung pushed the bullet out with his muscles, and regenerated within 1 second.

A clear metallic sound rang as the bullet hit the concrete floor.

It is volatile.

All of the Lifers were frozen. They had been trying to end it quietly, but one person had messed it up. They cannot avoid it. They need to fight.

“That stung.”

“Korean?”

The raid captain asks.

His expression was hidden behind his battlesuit, but he was taken aback. This was the same for the other Lifers.

“If you can understand what I’m saying, listen carefully. I’ll let you live. Go back.”

Cha Jun Sung could understand what the Lifers were saying as well thanks to Odin.

But he didn’t want them to know that he had understood.

It would be extremely suspicious for a mutant to be able to speak multiple languages. A one-sided warning should have an immediate effect.

“Captain?”

“Let’s go back.”

The captain decided to quit the mission.

Cha Jun Sung’s magnanimity and the ability to have a conversation was fortunate.

They can live.

Ring ring!

An alarm sounds.

It is a notice that they have the opportunity to quit their mission.

The Lifers’ faces brighten. The mission failure penalty isn’t much. They would just have some points taken away. That’s cheap compared to their lives.

They even thought about trying another mission in a different region, but western America is Black Devil’s territory.

That would be the wrong thing to do.

Cha Jun Sung looked behind him again.

The Bomb Ants went into their advance base, and he couldn’t see them. His dominion will have more effect now.

Cha Jun Sung’s wings flapped and he left the Lifers, flying in the direction the Bomb Ants had disappeared in. He doesn’t care what the Lifers do.

He won’t bother them as long as they don’t inconvenience his mission.

“Uh… Master.”

“What is it?”

“I think someone has launched a Universe Eye.”

“Universe Eye?”

Tyrant questions his subordinate. The subordinate doesn’t sound sure either.

He wouldn’t have said ‘I think’ if he had been sure.

“I will pull up the screen.”

Zing!

The battlesuits became interlocked, and the large city that the Rage guild is staying in came up on Tyrant’s hologram.

Tyrant watched the video carefully.

It is a video that a guild member had filmed moments ago with a micro reconnaissance robot.

The robot, resembling a dragonfly, discovers something and zooms in when it gets a view on something the size of a child’s fist.

“Hu – Hundred Eye?”

Tyrant’s voice quivers slightly. The Hundred Eye is a small search device that the Universe Eye ejects to cover a more extensive area.

It is a level S store item. How is that in this place?

“How was it discovered?”

“By coincidence. One of the guild members got bored and used one of his own micro reconnaissance robots. He says that he found it because he had been pushing it around here and there for fun rather than to do a search.”

“Has it been discovered?”

“The robot may have been in the Hundred Eye’s scan, but it shouldn’t have been caught because of our blocking devices.”

Radio wave blocking devices are spread out throughout the Rage guild’s camp.

If these are used, equipment of different frequencies instantly become neutralized.

The Rage guild uses these because of other Lifers outside of their guild. Mutant senses are dozens of times more sensitive than those of humans.

Because of that, they hate the sound of neutralized frequencies. They serve as a form of eradication like bug spray to mosquitoes.

“Level S. Is he nearby?”

To Tyrant’s best knowledge, there is only one other Lifer besides him who can own a Universe Eye.

Cha Jun Sung – there is only him.

Not if he is with the World Federation, but what if he is alone or with a small party? It is a chance for him to end it easily.

“Can we avoid him?”

“It may be possible if we take on the bothersome, but even this is uncertain. He moves fluidly, so we cannot predict his movements.”

Blocking devices need to be installed, so they cannot protect from movement.

That is why they create damage, but cannot provide that much help. They need to choose between going through blatantly or crushing it.

There are 10,000 people in the Rage guild. There are too many of them. They need to take extremely annoying measures if they all want to avoid the Hundred Eyes.

First off, passing through the city is out of the question.

Someone will get caught.

No matter what.

“Fine. Crush it. It’s better than getting caught. A Hundred Eye means that the Universe Eye is somewhere within a 100km radius.”

“Yes!”

A subordinate left.

Tyrant became lost in the thought that he might get advancement and Cha Jun Sung simultaneously.

Without knowing what state Cha Jun Sung is in.
