Chapter 131 (2/2)
He cannot expose himself and make a fuss like they can. If he does, there will be a lot of restrictions put on him in reality. There will be disadvantages, whether they are from the world federation or the Japanese government.
That is why he is leading a dual life. It is thrilling in its own right, but he has been complaining because he cannot get directly involved. He is finally able to fulfill that desire today.
Tyrant strokes the vertical launch device. It is an item that the rankers of Blood Kingdom bought just in case. They had hoped that they would not need to use it, but the situation has changed.
The guild said that they would help fill up the points that he loses from firing the white phosphorus shell, but it does not seem like they will need to do that.
Tyrant is personally the master of Anger, Japan’s top guild. He basically bought all of the items he needs and he can accumulate a couple 10 million within a few months.
On top of that, there will be as many Lifers who die as there are points he loses from firing the shell, so he might even come out even. He will know for sure once it goes through.
Tyrant mounts the white phosphorus shell. It is almost as big as a person. It does not go off as soon as it is launched, but divides into hundreds of small bombs. Each of those bombs has 10 times the power of a grenade. It is like a missile.
It divides in the sky and as it falls to the ground, the primary explosion goes off with fragments flying.
The real part is next. The white devil billows white smoke, and the phosphorus component is here. If left at room temperature, it burns. The principle of it is similar to modern weaponry, but its force is entirely different. It is said to be the basic form, but it can melt through a battle suit. The best they can do is to not be hit with it.
“Koharu is there?”
Blood King’s group does not know that Koharu is Amhu, but Tyrant knows.
It had been difficult to see her lately, but he did not know that she had gone over to Overload. They often worked together in the virtual, and they are now completely stuck together.
“Bitch! I’ll cook you with Overload.”
If he cannot have her, he will crush her. That way, no one else can have her. ‘There’s no meaning if she’s not mine’.
He he!
[The white phosphorus shell will launch in 5 seconds.]
The countdown began. The numbers go down. When 1 became 0, what is known as the worst non-nuclear weapon in reality, penetrated the air.
***
Bang!
Tyrant is dozens of kilometers away from the street in zone H. But it was delivered to the Lifers with a vibration that he could feel weakly.
“What’s that sound?”
Blood King and Cha Jun Sung look up. The battle suit’s enhanced hearing catches a loud roar. There is no way to tell what it is. It is not something that can be detected by sound.
A gauntlet comes flying from the front. He quickly turns his head to the side and brings his left foot up. A curving high kick is about to hit Blood King’s face, but the opponent’s other hand blocks Cha Jun Sung’s attack.
Cha Jun Sung is immobile while mid-kick, and Blood King body checks his chest. It is an iron force that he only saw in the game. Cha Jun Sung is pushed back by the force, and uses the booster on his back to steady himself.
“Tricky.”
Blood King is a fighter. He drags close encounters out over a long period of time. Cha Jun Sung is also confident in fighting from the kick boxing and kendo he learned, but he gets pushed back when the distance is so small. Everyone has a distance that is more of an advantage to them. Cha Jun Sung’s is one where he can brandish his sword freely.
“What a pity.”
“A pity? What is?”
“I wanted to keep fighting, but the situation won’t allow for it.”
Cha Jun Sung does not understand. Is he trying to run away? It seems likely from the way he is slowly backing away.
[There are 2 minutes left. We’re getting out.] [It’ll become hell on earth.]
They can hear the shell slicing through the air with their battle suits.
Blood Kingdom’s cadres know what it is, but the world federation and Cha Jun Sung’s group do not, so they do not pay mind to it and continue to focus on fighting.
Papat.
“Huh? You assholes! Where are you going!”
“Don’t chase him.”
War Hammer yells at Palbi Blood, who suddenly stopped fighting him and left. War Hammer stops Wind Wing from chasing him. It is not just Palbi Blood who is retreating. All of Blood Kingdom’s cadres are leaving at the same time.
It could be a trap. They cannot act alone, and must identify the situation first.
“Why aren’t the regular guild members leaving?”
“They could be cooking something up.”
War Hammer thought there might be something to what Wind Wing is saying and observes the situation, but the phenomenon unfolding before them is strange.
“They’re surprised?”
The guild members are taken off guard. They do not know what to do, as if they are children who have lost their mothers. The cadres left all at once and the command system collapsed.
As time passes, the phenomenon spreads like fire and swallows Blood Kingdom.
The world federation’s Lifers fight accordingly and the situation is reversed.
“I hope you come out alive.”
“I won’t lose you this time.”
In the two heart method, he raised the time limit to the highest vibration.
If the power is turned on, retention time is barely 5 minutes, but he cannot lose this opportunity. The battle suit’s energy is now under 10%.
“Look up.”
Cha Jun Sung stays aware of Blood King as he looks up at the sky. Something big that looks like a bullet is coming down like fireworks.
[Unidentified objects approaching. Scanning….. Scan complete! Lifer Cha Jun Sung! You need to get away immediately! That is a compressed white phosphorus shell!]
Cha Jun Sung’s eyes tremble. He has never come into direct contact with a white phosphorus shell before, but he knows what it is. It is coming here now?
Papat!
Blood King laughs as he gets farther away from Cha Jun Sung. Cha Jun Sung needs to catch him, but there is now something more urgent.
