Chapter 152 (1/2)

“The restriction not to kill him became a hindrance because we had to hold back our strength.”

She cannot be sure whether or not she can kill him, but she had held back on her power in the final attack because of the pressure to capture him alive.

If she had stabbed at him with all of her power, he would not have been able to run away even if it killed him.

Medusa picks up Beholder’s nucleus. She cannot just leave it here.

The area has been recognized as a battlefield for top level mutants, so anything ambiguous cannot come. She must rest as much as she can before going.

There are a lot that will try to take advantage of her weakened state once she leaves this place.

While Medusa was sitting in front of her bone spear, she heard a strange sound ahead. Something is coming. There are a lot of them. More than 50.

“Hey hey! She’s really here! It’s like the mission said – Medusa is here! She’s on the brink of death!”

“Wow!”

“Does that mean we’re catching a level 8?”

“That’s a mutant I thought we’d only see in a level A mission, but we’re finding her in C.”

Everyone is wearing battlesuits, and they are force Lifers. Medusa considered what was going on and remembered something.

One day, strange humans started appearing to hunt mutants.

They were organized and came in by level. It is not something that is happening in just Medusa’s area, but all across Europe and the 6 continents.

Medusa’s lips twist coldly. She cannot understand the words that these humans with odd shells are saying, but she can get an idea from their behavior.

She was able to communicate with Cha Jun Sung because they are both mutants. It is Italian, but mutants are able to translate automatically.

“Mere humans… They’re not even mutants and they’ll come after me when I’m weakened? Actually, this is good. I’ll eat you and supplement my health.”

Beep beep!

Medusa’s Italian is translated to the Lifers.

“You know you’re 1.8 million points right now? 1.8 million is tremendous for hunting a single mutant, but you can’t beat us with that body. Alright! Let’s start!”

Medusa is ranked level 8 in level A missions. But as an aftermath of her combat with Cha Jun Sung, her mind and body have collapsed to level C 1.8 million.

She had become a target after a few hours since the mission was reestablished.

What Lifers would have been crazy enough to go into a mission to catch a level 8 mutant? They would not even be able to enter because level A has not been opened.

Medusa grabbed her bone spear and stood up. This is a part of her. When she consumed the remaining nutrients, the bone spear shrank to 3 meters.

“I won’t just kill you. I have something to ask you too.”

Medusa’s eyes spark. They are insects that do not know their place. She will show them what hell is.

***

Meanwhile, Cha Jun Sung escaped from Medusa and moved wildly without setting a direction. Like Medusa, he is not in a great state either.

He will get away first. It will be a long journey to Czechoslovakia and he does not have a sense of east and west, so there is no guarantee that he will take the right path.

This is not the earth that he lived on. He needs to establish a foundation to live in this world for the time being, whether that is a map, compass, or food.

“I’m all out of strength.”

It has been long since he hid his black smoke and steel-like body. He devoted himself to recovering while he ran away, but he could not expect rapid regeneration.

He needs to be relieved that his injuries have not gotten worse.

He cannot retain a demonic force any longer. He is defenseless from now on.

His black skin changes to a skin color that is almost white. External characteristics that are not fitting for humans like his horns and tails disappear.

He looks just like the human Cha Jun Sung did, before he became a mutant.

Cha Jun Sung feels his face with his hand. He is naked when he looks down, but there is nothing that shows he is a mutant.

He cannot look at himself because he does not have a mirror, but it is a face he had for dozens of years. He can figure out whether it has come back just by touching it.

“It’s me from the outside.”

The body is Cha Jun Sung. He has just been put down due to extreme consumption of his nutrients and health. He is only human on the outside, but mutant on the inside.
