Chapter 120 (2/2)
“A knife!”
“It’s better than a knife with its cutting force.”
Bang bang bang!
It is truly a splendid combat. Park Jin Hyuk never formally learned martial arts, but an instinct for fighting mutants is awakened in him.
He is not used to fighting Lifers, but he definitely has the basics down.
“Tricky.”
He always feels it, but it is laborious to fight someone with a battlesuit. There is no way to quickly overpower them if they know how to use even half of the functions.
Moderate attacks are detected by sensors. Because of that, they are able to avoid or block. There needs to be an accumulation of damages or one big hit.
Bang bang!
A smoke arrow explodes and smoke covers the roof. Park Jin Hyuk activated his senses. He does not need to be able to see with his eyes. They are super human.
There is a flood of attacks from several directions, but he took care of each one without falling to the surprise. After a few minutes, the smoke melted away.
“Is it because you’re Overload’s party member even if you’re not a ranker?”
“Eavesdropping like a little rat.”
“At times like this, it’s called just listening.”
They can hear each formations conversations through the radio. They can identify the situation without having to ask. Overload is Empress of Light’s reinforcement.
‘He’s strong. Makung? There are 36 rankers like this including Jun Sung and Koharu?’
He thought that he would have the upper hand in a close encounter battle, but Makung brandishes the bow like a sword.
He put the Head Hunter forward whenever he could not avoid it, but a scar formed each time. If it does not recover adequately, he has a feeling it will be broken to pieces.
“Why are you fighting so vigorously? Is there a reason to overdo it? Even if you are reinforcing Empress of Light, you’re just getting involved in someone else’s affairs.”
There is not enough motivation. Unless oneself or the party that one is in is in danger, it is a loss to risk their lives. At least, that is how Makung thinks.
“You don’t need to know that.”
“Is that so?”
If there needs to be a reason, shall he say that he does not like the flow or atmosphere of Makung and the murderers? He is understanding with his heart rather than his head.
“Let’s end it. I need to help them over there.”
“Says who….. Ack!”
The Hybrid Demon has a cylinder as thick as an arm attached to a special part by the trigger, that does not block vision.
There are 10 spokes, each a half size larger than a chopstick, inside the cylinder. They are not shot with bowstrings, but with a special device that controls the shots.
It is so hidden that unless one read the Hybrid Demon manual or owns it, they would not know that it is there. Such a thing went off right from under his nose.
It happened in a moment. Park Jin Hyuk could not avoid it. A spoke went through the battlesuit. It did not go through completely because of the reinforcement of the outer shell, but half of it is embedded.
“Ah!”
It is not over. An electric current of tens of thousands of volts went off in the part that it dug into, and paralyzed his whole body. If he had been the average person, he would have been electrocuted.
Makung pulled the bowstring all the way to the end and shot with the highest power of penetration.
An arrow goes through his shoulder. Park Jin Hyuk is embedded on the wall by the pushing force. His feet are off of the ground and he is hanging like a doll.
“I’m a murderer with more than 500,000 kills in the virtual version as PKs. Even if this is reality, that know-how is all here.”
Makung taps his head with his finger. Life Mission is a virtual game that left the keyboard behind and used EEGs. He had done PKs as though his life depended on it.
When Cha Jun Sung was Overload, he did not enjoy PKs but also killed 100,000 through similar contents of PVP and while taking care of all types of bastards.
It is the same for Koharu. In that sense, this is where Park Jin Hyuk lacks experience as someone who only did Life Mission for a short amount of time. He has the talent, but he is still developing.
Park Jin Hyuk lifted his hand to pull the arrow out. His arm will not reach above his chest. The electric current continued and prevented normal recovery for his body.
“It’ll keep up for 2 minutes. I won’t give you pain.”
“You…..!”
A laser aims at Park Jin Hyuk’s head. He intends to get him with a single shot.
“That’s… funny. You think you’re the only one with a wild card?”
Tang tang tang!
He tried to hit him with the Head Hunter, but the shot did not even get Makung’s foot. A bullet flings out from between the two of them. His arm does not go up.
“What a pity.”
“It’s a trick.”
Bang!
Park Jin Hyuk pretended to shoot a bullet and set off an explosive bomb that had been loaded. Makung is startled and retreats. That is when he set it off again.
Bang bang bang!
Park Jin Hyuk had shot it to under his foot. It cannot move with magnetism, so he is going to find assistance in fire power. It is dangerous, but he has no choice.
The wall he is hanging on collapses and he falls to the bottom of the building.
-[Battlesuit breakage rate 35.5%. Falling. Lifer’s current state is of paralysis following electric shock. Transforming to automatic pilot mode, activate booster.]
The booster turned on right before crashing and reduced the speed. If he had collided as is, he would have died. He still cannot move his body.
“Is it a grenade? I could take a real hit if I underestimate him.”
Makung looks down. It seems he is still paralyzed. All he needs to do is fire one shot. But everything needs to be done when the opportunity is there.
Pew pew pew pew!
Guns are firing from somewhere. Makung quickly ran away. Looking carefully, something appeared next to Park Jin Hyuk and is attacking him.
Cha Jun Sung had sent Hercules.
“Cyborg?”
He had heard that Overload has a toy. Makung aims his bow. At best, it is a high level. It can be finished with a few shots.
-[Makung, we’re retreating.]
-[What? I’ve got him. I’ll kill him right away and go help you.]
-[No, it’s just a retreat. The situation isn’t feasible. We’ll explain later.]
A radio came in from Dark Side. The murderers seem to be disorderly, but they follow the rules that they have set well. Rashness is unnecessary.
“You’re lucky.”
Makung retreated. Hercules identified the enemy disappear, took Park Jin Hyuk, and went back to Cha Jun Sung. There was no order to pursue.
