Chapter 150 (1/2)
She diluted it to 60%. Even this much is a lethal dose that could kill a level 6 within 10 minutes. Cha Jun Sung fought for several hours after taking thousands of rounds.
He does not die or show abnormal symptoms even with that, and has heavy movement with paralysis like Beholder’s psychokinesis.
“This is it. Do it again. Talk or suppress – do whatever you need to create the conditions we need to capture him. That’s the easiest way if we’re going to take him to the palace.”
“Kikik! Yeah!”
Titan would have been able to bind him up, but this is not something that they can do. And it is not like they can take him after tying his arms and legs up. It is okay even if there is not a long period of time that they can control Cha Jun Sung’s mind. If they buy just a few days of time, they are prepared to make the most of it.
[It works!]
Beholder cheers. He succeeded in re-entry. Cha Jun Sung is physically exhausted from fighting Medusa under all sorts of restrictions, and he is experiencing hallucinations because of the poison. His mental defenses are bound to collapse.
[You’re the guy who came in before. Get out.]
[Me?]
[Yeah.]
[Did you go back to normal? It was a mess with two of you fighting before.]
[A part became stable because you were digging around. But that doesn’t mean I’ve gone back to my original self. It’s just a part. I’ll say it again. Get out.]
[I can’t do that. I have to take you to her Majesty. Do you know how far I walked? It was such a bother! Become one of us.]
[Where are we?]
It is unfair. Beholder can see into Cha Jun Sung’s mind, but Cha Jun Sung cannot see into Beholder’s. It is not a matter of who is stronger, but a difference in ability.
[Italy’s capital, Rome. You don’t remember anything? Not even who you are?]
[Me? I’m Cha Jun Sung. Didn’t you already see that?]
[I did, but it’s hard to believe. Hey! Are you really a human? We can communicate well. If all goes well, we won’t even need to fight.]
Beholder thought that the situation was going in their favor. It feels like if he keeps up a good atmosphere and sweet talks Cha Jun Sung, the battle could end now.
[Italy… Is this Europe? When you say Majesty, do you mean White Queen Lobelira?]
[You know her Majesty? Did you really kill that whore, Evil Queen?]
[If you don’t differentiate between reality and virtual… then, I did kill her. By the way, can I ask you for a favor?]
[What is it?]
[Can you help me so my mind can control my body? I’ll become one of you if you do that for me. I can’t do anything in this state.]
[Will it work if I separate the Oriax? I don’t think I can do it for very long.]
[A few days would be fine. Even a day.]
[Fine! I’ll try it!]
The situation is unraveling well. Beholder is happy that he completed his mission, and helped Cha Jun Sung’s mind to push the Oriax.
There is nothing to lose in gaining points with someone they will become colleagues with. But is there really nothing to lose? Pushing too far ahead without thinking is bound to lead to mistakes.
Beholder can figure out what Cha Jun Sung is thinking if he has the mind to find out. When the opponent became submissive, he skipped steps with the thought that he just needed to end it quickly. There is no way to know what might result from that.
An unreactive body on its knees. While Beholder was talking to Cha Jun Sung’s mind, his body did not move as though it were a machine with its engine turned off.
Medusa released the hallucinations. A tremendous amount of energy is consumed to maintain the hallucinations. She needs to rest in order to use it sparingly.
She wants to eat something, but this is a battlefield with level 8 monsters. Unless they are crazy, lower level mutants would not remain here. Every living creature will have run away as soon as Cha Jun Sung roared and revealed his presence.
If she cannot supplement her strength with nutrients, calming her short breath will provide her with conditions to fight in.
“Ha? All wounds healed in the time it would take for a cup of coffee to go cold? He didn’t absorb my poison as nutrients, did he? This is a problem if that’s true.”
Even if the poison has been diluted to 60%, it is harmful to the body unless it is a mutant that can handle poison. Though mutants have high detoxification capabilities and they are not affected, poison is still poison. It becomes an unnecessary attack.
