Chapter 145 (2/2)
Beep beep!
[Lifer Cha Jun Sung has evolved into a level 8 mutant, the mission has advanced to level A. The block on returning has been released. Will you return to reality?]
“Level 8…..”
“Shouldn’t he be a level 7 if he was absorbed by the Oriax? This is at the level of the Nightmares.”
“He lives up to his name even in death.”
“Shut up!”
Park Jin Hyuk is in a frenzy as he punches a wall near him. It was a fairly high stonewall, but he punctured a hole and it cracked.
“The mission is a failure. Let’s leave.”
The force members return to reality. There is no hesitation. They are strangers. Only friends are saddened by the deaths of others. Park Jin Hyuk understands with his head too, but he feels sick as he cannot understand with his heart.
“Let’s leave.”
“Koharu?”
Koharu led Park Jin Hyuk. Her face does not look good either. Kyoko and Violet are not very different either.
“You want to leave? What about Jun Sung? You don’t know what happens if we leave him in the mission?”
“I know.”
“Then?”
“What can we do in this situation? Level 8. The helpers violated the laws and released the block on returning. You know what that means.”
Lifers grew a lot over 2 years, but they still have difficulty with level 6.
Mutants get stronger by level. But starting from level 7, the mutants are monsters that can destroy entire countries. Even if there are dozens of top level 6s, they cannot beat 1 level 7. Level 8 is a Nightmare.
Parasite King and Red Eye are on the same level. Mask? Even while wearing a battlesuit, a person would be ripped apart in a second. They have no choice but to go back.
“Don’t give up. We can come back. We can come again when we’re stronger.”
“Again?”
“Jun Sung isn’t dead. The Oriax doesn’t kill its host. I don’t know why he advanced to level 8 from 7, but there’s still hope.”
Koharu pats Park Jin Hyuk’s shoulder.
“Fuck, fuck. I’m going to come back no matter what. I’ll get strong beyond belief and come back.”
Tears fell from Park Jin Hyuk’s eyes. He cannot endure this without crying. If Cha Jun Sung really has become a mutant, there will be a level A mission, won’t there?
There are very few level 8 mutants. Even if individuals overlap, there won’t be more than 100 of them. They will be able to find him just by reading the mission descriptions.
Kung!
As Park Jin Hyuk was returning to reality, he heard what he guessed was Cha Jun Sung’s mutant roar. It is stronger than the roar he heard at first. They all hung on to their shaking consciousness as all of the force members and then Park Jin Hyuk’s group left the mission.
***
Bang bang bang!
A black demon roams the city. It is different in appearance alone from the top level mutants that are created in factories. It destroys everything in its way, whether it is a mutant or building.
It would be easy for him to take a path going around, but he ignorantly forces everything out of the way because his sanity has gone blank white. He has grown from the original 6-7m into about 10m in height. The easiest way to distinguish an individual mutant’s strength is its size. Mutants grow larger as they go up in level.
Of course this is not an absolute. Cha Jun Sung’s size is at a level 5’s standards, but his strength is that of level 8.
Cha Jun Sung’s left arm is malformed. It has gotten more than 3 times longer and thicker. It has multiplied in size so he looks like he has a child’s body with an adult’s arm. He uses that to smash down a 15-floor building in front of him.
The shock from the blow goes into every corner of the apartments. The giant wreckage splits in half and shakes the ground as it falls.
Level 1 and 2 mutants had been living there, but that does not matter. Cha Jun Sung cannot be bothered to fight with the enemies inside.
Kyak!
The mutants who witnessed the destruction site, trembled in fear as they scattered and ran away. The energy that Cha Jun Sung gives off is full of death.
A tail with hundreds of strands transformed into sharp skewers and pierced through the mutants running away. They even extended to 300m in length. He must have eyes on the back of his head because he did not let a single one get away. He repeated this action 2 or 3 times and killed more than 1000 on the spot.
Ko!
Hiding mutants either passed out or died of heart attacks from his roar. Cha Jun Sung is drunk with the top priority of mutant instincts, the instinct to slaughter. He felt alive while killing.
Boom boom boom!
Cha Jun Sung swept through the dense areas of the apartments with each strand of his tail, moving as though alive. They changed into sharp knives or blunt bats, devastating the area.
Boom!
Once he destroys an area for no reason, he moves on. A decided place? He does not have any. He just goes where he wanders in.
Kung?
Cha Jun Sung’s eyes looks dozens of kilometers away, all in different directions. Something is idling nearby. His senses pick up movement, but it is pretty fast. It does not stay in one place, and keeps moving back and forth.
