Chapter 147 (1/2)
Italy is on the verge of chaos. There were already clear signs of destruction as the world collapsed, but this is confined to humans.
It was a time for mutants to lay down a foundation just as humans developed from ancient times. And who knows? They might rebuild the world.
In this flow, mutants in Italy were living peacefully in their respective areas. That was until a demon full of madness appeared.
The demon that appeared out of nowhere destroyed, killed, and ate everything that was in its way. It was only quiet while resting.
It only took a few days for it to destroy an entire area.
It ran amuck like this for several months. It did not tire and only became worse. It is basically a natural disaster.
Beholder rolls a yellow eyeball. In front of him is the wreckage of what looks like a skyscraper.
“The first impact was the big hit, but the attack was divided as it walked through it.”
“Mutating?”
“This isn’t just a normal mutation. It’s a whole body mutation. Hee hee!”
Beholder responded to Medusa’s question with confidence. His eye has the ability to see what other beings cannot.
He figured out that Cha Jun Sung is a mutant that can change at will just by looking at the wreckage, and that he can change his entire body.
The ability to mutate is an ability that varies in value by the beholder, whether it is seen as common or valuable. Nothing can imitate it unless it is at the highest level.
There is a difference between whole body and body part mutation. One can change the entire body at will in the former, and the latter means that only parts – like the arms or legs – are changeable.
“How many mutants are there that can do this?”
“There can’t be over 5 in all of levels 1 through 9. And since it’s a level 8, there can only be Red Eye. I want to hurry up and meet him so I can see what he’s like.”
“Just find him.”
“Hmph!”
Beholder raised his hand. Hundreds of eyes the size of millets popped up.
They split into hundreds and thousands like cell division to be implemented in various ways like searching for a target or surveillance.
“Spread out. Relay everything you see to me.”
Beholder shook his hand. The eyes that had been bunched together flew with the wind. They have a kind of telepathic ability that works within a radius of hundreds of kilometers.
They know what lives in Italy, so it will only be a matter of time before they find what they are looking for.
***
A sharp blade goes through a tunnel rat’s chin. There were a lot but he killed all of them. There is no fun in killing them because they are low level.
Cha Jun Sung’s tail wraps around a tunnel rat and absorbs it whole.
Though he gained a stamina that does not tire when he became a mutant, it is not infinite. Since he is a living being, he needs to supplement as much as he uses. He fortunately has not faced a strong enemy yet, so he has not been wounded yet.
If he gets wounded, the balance gets out of hand because he needs to pay attention to recovering the injury in addition to physical stamina. It is difficult to expect smooth flow.
Cha Jun Sung likes the tunnel. Not the tunnel itself but the environment – he likes the dark. This is in the Oriax’s nature, not his own.
Darkness is black like the Oriax. This environment provides him with a protective color without having to do anything, so this feels like his nest.
Cha Jun Sung laid down anywhere and closed his eyes. He does not run around like crazy all 365 days of the year. The only time he is quiet is when he is resting.
Though it looks like he is sleeping but is not very different from usual because he leaves his senses open to capture external dynamics. It is better to say he is recovering psychological stability.
Wing wing!
Several hours after Cha Jun Sung stops moving in the cave.
He can hear the weak sound of bees flying around. It is bothersome and he pretends he does not hear it. It is because he does not feel hostility. He just thought of them as annoying bugs that would wander around and then leave.
