Chapter 108 (1/2)
Cha Jun Sung hit the shins of a Tairoque coming at him from the side.
The legs made of knotted muscles breaks in one blow. It could not believe what it was seeing as its fierce eyes looked surprised. Tairoques are level 3.
It has the intense strength and durable body like a Krollion, but it is appropriately twice as strong because it is of a higher level. But Cha Jun Sung had destroyed it like a bug.
Bang!
The booster went into action from the battlesuit’s elbow and creates a hole on the Tairoque’s face. It had added strength to his direct assault.
He did not even take out the Wolf Kill. He could feel the fun of beating it with his bare hands. The strong level 3 fell to the ground. It is too weak.
Koharu took her twin daggers and sweeps through hundreds of level 2s. Every time she passed one, its head rolled off its neck.
She pursues a clean battle. Whether she slices them up or cuts their heads off, it is the same that they die. She saves her strength and only aims for the vitals.
There is a sharp sound and something comes flying behind Koharu. It is a disgusting tongue, wet with sticky mucous.
Koharu turns and swings the dagger. The tongue is cut off and spews blood. People do not have eyes on the back of their heads, but battlesuits do.
A full defense sensor monitors the danger of a constant radius and shows this to the wearer on a real-time screen.
Unless they are inattentive, level 1 through 3 are massacred.
Kung!
“It’s loud!”
“It’s here.”
Par Jin Hyuk looks to where the sound is coming from. The Tairoque’s evolved form, Tairos, comes at them while toppling over any building in its way.
It will be extremely angry because they have killed its subordinates and made its home into a mess. There must be a wife or child among these too.
It is incredibly strong as a true body-oriented mutant should be. On its way, it pulled an iron street lamp. It is going to use it in substitution for a weapon.
“Hold out… for a little.”
-[60% of battle core deployed.]
-[Mutant scan! Height 4.95m, estimated weight 1.5t, judging by the shaking of its muscles, killing it with a blow is difficult and must use the Wolf Kill!]
“If I have to use the Wolf Kill against a mere level 4, what do I use against a level 5?”
He said that and it does not matter whether he uses it or not, but it is a matter of pride. He is sure that he needs to get a level 4 with his bare hands in order to be able to take on a level 5.
Cha Jun Sung approaches the Tairos. It swung the street lamp around so he could not come near. A massive sound tickles his ears.
-[Distance from Tairos 7.6m, it is the distance to avoid being hit with the street lamp.]
Bang!
Stone powder sprays from a building hit with the street lamp. It would have been tricky to take it on if he had only had body modifications. It is a power that could kill him if he is hit.
-[Repeated swinging, calculating route. Now! Dig through!]
The routes to attack Tairos were marked in blue on the hologram. They are a little different, but most of them wield to the same place.
Odin’s wielding showed a small gap and went a signal. Now is the time.
Cha Jun Sung ran toward the gap. He has not configured the overbooster yet so there was a frustrating feeling, but he does have the battlesuit.
-[Impulse 4.5t! The battlesuit’s left shoulder is weakly broken.]
“Ack! Damn it!”
He had gone in, but it seems he had not matched to the signal well. Cha Jun Sung was hit by the street lamp, flew dozens of feet, and became embedded deep in a building.
“Wow! It’s a homerun!”
“Jun Sung!”
Before the street lamp hit the battlesuit, a mechanical grain in nanometric units strengthened the external elasticity and reduced the shock he received as much as possible.
“This asshole!”
Cha Jun Sung jumped out of the building and ran at the Tairos without looking back. The Tairos thought him stupid and swung the street lamp around again.
“I’ll smash you to pieces.”
The street lamp flying down collided with Cha Jun Sung’s kick. He thought that he would be pushed back by weight and location, so he used the booster for high speed too.
The street lamp as thick as his thigh is bent at a 90 degree angle, but Cha Jun Sung is still fine. It does its 10 million points worth.
Cha Jun Sung leapt. He jumped nearly 8m and leaned his body horizontally to strike from on top of the Tairos’ head.
There is the sound of its skull cracking. Its mouth is shut and a few teeth the size of a fist come out with blood.
The Tairos’ brain was shaken and it stumbled as it lost its balance, and fell to its knees. It suddenly became eye level with Cha Jun Sung.
“It’s not over. This time, I’ll take your eyes not your teeth.”
It does not understand the human language. Even if it could, it could not respond because it is looking at another world.
Cha Jun Sung hit the Tairos’ temple with a high kick. The temporal bone could not withstand the shock, and its eyeballs burst. This is a deadly hit.
The giant collapses. As the bones broke, it wounded the brain as well. It is as good as dead since it cannot function. And it will really die.
Cha Jun Sung’s hand went into the burst eye, and ripped the brain.
-[You have earned 20,000 points and 12,000 achievement points.]
He had killed it with his bare hands as he had decided he would. They must have been generous with the achievement points because it had been a one-on-one battle. 60% is the limit for achievement points. They do not give more than this.
The lower level mutants run away when the level 4 dies. They fully recognize that these people are stronger than them. They may be dumb, but they know fear.
‘We need to get over the wall, but how do I explain it? Should I just suggest it?’
The wall that Cha Jun Sung needs to get over is the east wall. They had decided on a direction and come this way, but he could not think of a reason to give them.
“This is no fun. Do you want to try going over the wall? Should we try out a level C special mission?”
It is a standard tactic. It is a city where the front is blocked. There is no excuse to climb it.
“Let’s go.”
“Huh?”
“I said let’s go. As long as we have the battlesuits, it’s easy to run away. Let’s try it out!”
“Forget you.”
Cha Jun Sung ignored Park Jin Hyuk’s opinion. He is always like that. Cha Jun Sung looked at Koharu and Kyoko. Their thoughts are more important.
“I think it’s okay.”
“I did want to try out a level C, so it’s a good thing.”
He had received permission.
***
Cha Jun Sung goes over the wall. The height is not really a problem. As long as nothing is blocking them and it is just high, they can even get over hundreds of meters.
There are many ways to do it, whether they climb up or use their strength to break it down.
Because it is dark, it is dreary outside the wall. Strictly speaking, it is the same inside and outside the wall. It is a world where mutants are everywhere.
It is a harsh environment for a weak human to walk around in without protection.
“Odin, location.”
-[932. 35. Setting direction coordination. Setting complete.]
If they go around randomly, they will get lost or be placed in a dangerous situation. It is helpful in many ways to set a direction in advance.
The basic battlesuit raises a Lifer’s attack power to level 5 or 6.
