Chapter 154 (1/2)

“….. This isn’t it.”

Cha Jun Sung sits on the ground with a devastated expression. He looked down at his hands and kept saying ‘This isn’t it’.

“I ate a mutant with my mouth. And thought it tasted good! I can’t control it! Does this make sense? I’m not an animal, but I ate a mutant with my mouth!”

He can accept taking in the mutant through touch, as he has removed the mask of a human ever since the Oriax took him on as a host.

“Is my mind becoming that of a mutant too? Have I lost myself?”

That is the only way to explain it. He thought that he might have the mask of a mutant, but that his core is human. He was wrong. Both his mind and body have become mutant.

If he keeps going like this, he might deny his nature and forget the fact that he was once human. That cannot happen. He cannot lose his mind as a human.

He needs to maintain it if he wants to return to reality. If he loses his mind, he might start to hope to stay in this place. Reality is the world of the hunters.

“Let’s just hold out for a few days.”

There is nothing he can do alone. Once the Oriax wakes up, he needs to find a way to send it out of his body. He ripped flesh and sucked blood within a day of coming back to his senses. It looks like he will not be able to last until he gets to Czechoslovakia.

Cha Jun Sung let out a sigh dejectedly and gets moving. However it happened, most of his health has returned since he ate the Devil Saurus.

He does not want to go blindly just because he cannot decide on a direction to go, so he will look around the area for things that he needs.

***

This is around when Cha Jun Sung arrives in Czechoslovakia. While he was going to Czechoslovakia, Medusa was going back to England with Beholder, who had become a nucleus. Titan and Kimeira had put their strength together to take over Blood Lord, and have dragged him with them. It had been possible because of Titan.

“Black smoke?”

“Yeah. Black smoke came out of his mouth. It was a good thing Beholder was there. If I had been alone, I would have lost. I’m pretty sure not even you would have been guaranteed to beat him either.”

Inferno is strong. He is surely the best of all of the nightmares in Europe.

Even in Asia, only Red Eye can take him on. There may not be more than 5 mutants that could take him on in all 6 continents.

But the black devil they met this time had been really strong. It felt like they had seen the Black Demon that they had only ever heard about. Though this does not mean that is really what happened.

No matter how strong a nightmare level mutant is, they cannot be compared to disasters.

“Black smoke, you say…..”

“Can you think of something?”

“No.”

“Don’t you think he might be Black Demon’s offspring? I didn’t think so at first either, but his characteristics, appearance, and combat style are too similar to what I’ve heard.”

“Forget it. I’ll report this to her Majesty. Take good care of Beholder.”

Inferno cut Medusa off. There is no way he is Black Demon, and he cannot be an offspring either. How can he be sure? It is a situation in which he can be certain.

“Your Majesty! It’s Inferno.”

“Come in.”

A fine voice comes from the office. Inferno opens the door and bows his head as soon as he enters.

It is out of respect, but also because of Medusa’s failure in the mission.

“So you failed.”

“I’m sorry. I should have gone myself. He is said to be too strong to capture with Medusa and Beholder’s power.”

“It is already a failure. I will hear the report properly. Lift your head.”

Inferno lifts his head. He can see the empress.
