Chapter 7 (1/2)
-[He is approaching due to the man’s noise. I recommend you flee.]
“His specialty is the same as it is in the virtual reality version?”
-[It is the same.]
“Then it’s okay. I can hold my breath.”
-[We will generate a special mission with your permission.]
-[Level D mission: Predation of Cyclops] [Goal: Attainment]
-[Scenario: The owner of the closed area appeared due to a reserved lifer’s drunken tirade. Avoid the Cyclops’ detection and watch its predation] [Reward: 5000 points]
Cyclops.
It was a name given to him because he looked like the one-eyed giant in Greek mythology. The only difference was that instead of one, there were dozens of eyes on its face.
He boasted a steel-like strength with muscles covering his 9-10 meter long body. His strength was as intense as his size, so he could even crush a truck.
Among mutants with uncanny abilities, he was called an original strength. He was among the top of Level 5.
Boom!
As the ground and building shook, powder flew. Cha Jun Sung held his breath and looked towards the next building. He could see a large figure.
The Cyclops detects life through their breathing. It is dangerous if one moves wildly, but the Cyclops thinks that someone is inanimate if he holds his breath and is careful in his movement.
The Cyclops’ method is to differentiate between what is potentially harmful and what is not.
“Cyclops? Hah! You’re so mad I killed you that you appear in my dream?”
The man spoke gibberish. Any skilled lifer needed to deal with the Cyclops as a required mission. It was popular one because there were a lot of rewards.
Burup!
Gulp!
One of the Cyclops’ eyes focused on Cha Jun Sung’s exact location. It looked away after a moment because he did not move and held his breath.
“Come at me asshole! I’ll give you a blast with my +13 Titan!”
Though the man was speaking nonsense because he was drunk, Cha Jun Sung could tell that he was a skilled lifer in the game.
The weapon he mentioned was a laser with tremendous power. It had a weight and volume that only someone at an elite level could lift.
One could handle it by going through body modification and using the battle shoot skill, but it cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. It was not an exaggeration to say that the man had invested his life savings for it.
Boom.
The Cyclops just rolled its eyes around and did not act. Was it confused because the man did not fear it?
Kung!
Its thick arm lifted into the air. He stood still with patience. It observed the man out of curiosity, but that was only momentary.
Kwang!
One blow. A part of the building crushed under the Cyclops’ blow.
“Huh?”
The man flailed his arms. He stumbled as the roof collapsed under the force. It would have been the same even if he had not been drunk on alcohol.
Pat.
The Cyclops snatched at the falling man. It was not careful and its strength capable of ripping a man apart showed, destroying the bones in his body.
The man’s broken bones must have dug into his organs, because blood sputtered from his mouth. His eyes rolled back in pain and he began to convulse.
“Cr, crazy…..”
Cha Jun Sung stepped away from the window for a moment to take a breath as he watched the following scene. His body shook as though his own bones were being broken.
Eujuk.
Kyak!
The man’s arm was being chewed. The next were his legs, head, and body.
It was obvious that it intended on giving him pain as it ate him. The Cyclops had a horrid personality and was careful with his meals like a gourmet enjoying delicacies.
