Chapter 157 (1/2)

Cha Jun Sung encountered countless mutants while going through the virtual version of Life Mission. It was the same while going through the virtual version. However, he is going through the same experience again while remaining in the mission since Public Underground.

Bang bang bang bang!

2 mutants fight. One looks like a human like the Caicus but it is almost 60 meters tall, and the other is small at about 5 or 6 meters.

There is no way to imagine just from size, but the 2 mutants are at neck and neck. It is a battle of monsters. The aftermath is a mess of collapsed buildings.

“Metal Giant and Twister! It’s fun to watch such vigorous guys going at it!”

Cha Jun Sung could not take his eyes off of the battle. They are both level 7s. Metal Giant is also called Iron Giant. Like its name and appearance, it uses its enormous size and strength to smash everything.

Boom!

Even now, a 15-story building goes down under its fist.

The dusty area swirls and creates a sandstorm. It moves around as though alive. It must be alive from the way it goes at Metal Giant. That is Twister’s combat style.

Twister has large and small spiral blades all over its body. It rotates its body and approaches the enemy to grind it up.

“Looks like Metal Giant will win.”

[The situation isn’t good and you can’t ignore each of their weaknesses and strengths.]

There is no way to deny their strength as level 7s, but Twister’s blades are not having an impact on Metal Giant. Among level 7s, Metal Giant is among the top 10 while Twister is on the weaker side. They are on separate poles. Even as part of the same level, there are bound to be a distinction between the weak and strong.

“Twister’s side?”

[Metal Giant is big, so it’ll take time to take over its body. Twister is better if you want to end it quickly.]

Over several days, Cha Jun Sung and Oriax exchanged opinions and consulted on finding out about Public Underground through humans and mutants. They even talked about Oriax’s abilities. It is a parasitic type. As long as the conditions are right, it could take over high level mutants as well.

Though it does not kill the host, it takes over the mind so that the information that the host has is handed over. This is how they are trying to get information.

It cannot be parasitic indefinitely. As its nutrient and energy consumption were extreme, it needs to leave enough time. That is why they came up with high level parasitism.

Level 7s have low activity levels compared to their wide area. These are conditions in which they can win on quality rather than quantity. Oriax made the suggestion and Cha Jun Sung accepted it positively. They tried it once and it was a success.

Unfortunately, they did not get the information that they wanted. They just absorbed a mutant at random.

Metal Giant brings its left hand down on Twister.

It might be thought of as slow, but it is not. Its attack range is wide as well, so one needs to be cautious.

Papat!

Twister moved to the side to avoid the left hand. Blocking it is too much. If it gets hit, it will be crushed so that its head is next to its foot.

Metal Giant predicted that Twister would avoid the left hand and calculated Twister’s route to bring down its right hand.

Bang bang bang!

Blood splatters and bones break. Twister is injured and embedded in the ground. Metal Giant’s hand is also severely ripped up from the force of the tornado, but there is no danger to its life.

“It’s over. Let’s go.”

Bang!

As soon as Cha Jun Sung awakens, his inner demon shows itself. He rushes at the back of Metal Giant’s head. He cannot leave Twister to die. It could have information that he needs.

[Ugh! A surprise attack from a level 8 to a level 7. How embarrassing. Let’s end it quickly.]

Both of Cha Jun Sung’s arms change into great swords. He put his palms together to fuse them, making it an even bigger sword. It became nearly half of Metal Giant’s size.
