Chapter 152 (2/2)

“There has to be a way. Let’s wait until this guy wakes up.”

Beholder put the Oriax to sleep. They fought over the body night and day, and then cooperated with Beholder once he recognized him.

There is no choice, regardless of liking and not liking. A stranger is about to come in and take over if he does not cooperate. And the result was not bad.

Their impassioned minds cooled down enough for them to put everything else aside and discuss solutions. Now, they need to decide.

They cannot have two minds in one body. One needs to have total control or the body needs to be split into two.

“It seems possible…..”

The original two bodies are that of human and mutant. Cha Jun Sung was absorbed by the Oriax, but the Oriax does not kill its host.

The interesting thing here is that the fun Beholder had made it so that the stronger Oriax got pushed back by Cha Jun Sung’s seemingly weaker mind.

“Can this guy fall away from the host? Won’t that work then?”

It was like that in the virtual version too. They abandon the host and run away if it is no longer needed or in danger of death. They can separate on will.

If reality is the same as the virtual, he can become a simple human like before. He does not care that the Oriax would be going back to its life as a level 6.

If he keeps living with the Oriax in him, he might have to live in this place forever while fighting other mutants. He is totally against that type of primitive life.

“I’m hungry…..”

He recognizes that he is a level 8. He is a predator that can go anywhere in the world without fear, but he needs to eat in order to survive as he is still a living creature. At this state, he would only be able to take on one or two big attacks. It would be too much to fight a level 7, but he can definitely catch a level 5.

Cha Jun Sung walks through a desolate city. An average human would have worried about mutant attacks while walking this street, but it is nothing for him.

It is novel and interesting. There are novels where the subjects are a perished world, and Cha Jun Sung also read those types of books with interest.

“I’m sure there will be survivors if I look around, since there were in the Dead Ark.”

Hiding in a world that is open to mutants – how difficult and painful must that be? It is better to commit suicide than to be ripped apart into pieces.

“Huh?”

Cha Jun Sung slowed down after walking for a while. Though he has been injured, he has no trouble seeing or hearing. He can feel the movement through his level 8 senses.

Boom!

“There’s one. It’s far away, but it must be pretty big judging by the vibrations coming through the ground.”

Weak vibrations tickled the soles of his feet each time the mutant took a step. It is about 1km away. He is certain that it is big.

“As long as it’s not a level 7.”

Cha Jun Sung gulps. He looks like a person who has something delicious in front of him. But does he himself know what kind of expression he has on right now?

He would have doubted himself if he had even a small hand mirror.

***

‘Devil Saurus.’

It is a top level 6 mutant evolved from lizards and looks like a giant carnivorous dinosaur from the cretaceous period, but it is twice as big.

A long curved horn of 6 meters is on its head as though it is a rhinoceros. It is twice the width of a human.

Devil Saurus used its arm with sharp nails to chew deliciously on mutants it has hunted. It is a dinosaur but its arm is so well-evolved that it would be able to use a sword well if given one.

‘Is it a Caicus? It’ll be impossible to take it on if the Caicus is the opponent.’

The Devil Saurus’ food is a Caicus. It is hard to determine because he is so far away, but it must not have been able to resist much before dying.

He understands. Devil Saurus is small but still 20 meters tall and 30 meters long. The bigger ones are even bigger by a full head.

Though the Caicus is strong, it is a level 5, meaning that it is ranked only in the middle as a predator among all levels 1 through 9.

‘Should I get it?’

He said that anything is okay as long as it is not a level 7, but it is ambiguous. The Devil Saurus can take blows. It is possible that it will withstand Cha Jun Sung’s attacks.

‘Two big attacks.’

He is not in an awakened state and mutation is difficult. If he puts all of his strength into one arm and attacks twice, he will basically become human for the time being.

While he was thinking for a while, the Devil Saurus burped. It is a physiological reaction that all living creatures show! It is full.
