As soon as Cha Jun Sung returned, he washed up and sat in front of the computer. Before, he would have been passed out for half a day in fatigue. But his body has become that of a monster’s. Rest? His strength will go down, but he can withstand several months without sleeping and eating. It has been a long time since he has surpassed being human.
[Large guilds are going crazy right now. There are a lot of places that have reaped damage because level C Lifers who went into missions, didn’t return.]
[I heard that one force completely evaporated.]
[The news has been buried by level C Lifers, but many more level D and E Lifers have died. It’s not surprising because this happens every time, but it’s on a large scale this time.]
Not returning from a mission means that they have gone missing. Going missing inside of a mission means death. Each guild tried to keep their matters under wraps, but that is not possible. Someone who died is someone’s friend. Hundreds of thousands died, and this is the first time that so many people have been unable to return since the game was stabilized. It is odd.
“In level C? But there’s no reason to be annihilated unless they’re attempting advancement.”
Beep beep!
Cha Jun Sung looks over level B through E missions in turn.
“There are fewer than when I entered. There were few then, too.”
Levels D and E are as usual, but C and B – especially B – are extremely limited. There had been about 100 when he chose Weasel Hunting, but there were a few dozen now. Level B was small normally, but this is severe.
“Why is this like this?”
[There has been an error, so we are tuning the missions. It will take some time.]
Odin vaguely explained it away. Cha Jun Sung does not have the ability to figure out whether that is the truth or a lie. He cannot be suspicious either.
“There are only 2 advancement missions?”
There are just two 50 million point level B advancement missions. There are bugs in the game too, so there must be in real life. He subconsciously went past it.
[When are you planning to advance?]
“Right away in the next mission.”
[Can you… push back the timing a bit?]
“Push back timing? Are you infringing on my personal opinions right now?”
[No.]
The advancement missions on the PDA are related to the war between the 2 disasters. Odin likes Cha Jun Sung. All helpers like the Lifers that they have raised. What he said now is also against the rules.
[If you really have to advance, I wish you would go in alone. This is all I can say to you.]
Under the premise that Cha Jun Sung is alone, Odin can help him come back alive even if he cannot complete the mission. The minimum is satisfied if he has the combat ability of level 7.
“There’s something you want to tell me without the higher ups knowing, isn’t there?”
[There is not.]
Odin stopped talking. Cha Jun Sung did not ask either. Odin tends to say something and disappear, but nothing is useless. It was the same with Dead Ark, but there is a lot that comes in helpful if he keeps it in mind.
Alone. Alone, he says? Advancement missions are not running away or anything like that. If Odin is getting involved to warn him, he shouldn’t ignore it. Something is up.
Blood Lord slithered like a snake and moves from the head. The monstrous blades stuck all over its body flips the ground like a field. Europe’s mutants follow behind. It is not because Blood Lord is the leader. They are following White Queen, who is riding on top of him.
Kirung!
Blood Lord’s high and wide view comes from the front and discovers the enemy. Of all of his senses, his sight moves the fastest.
A heterogeneous entity of white, White Queen smiles. A white ripple spreads in her expression. It is beautiful and horrifying.
Though she looks gentle, she is another level 9 disaster who rules a continent. She does not show it all of the time, but she is wrapped in total madness inside a nice wrapping.
“They’ve come in hordes.”
“They look to be at least 3 times us in number. I can smell a tussle.”
Medusa added an explanation to Inferno’s dull tone. They cannot get an exact number, but in a space occupied by mutants, the area became so full with mutants multiple times the allies that it became frustrating.
As they get closer, the mutants’ bones throb from the aura of the disasters at the head of each side. Levels 5 to 6 were not even able to show their energy. Even without awakening, their energies seep out.
Cruel King’s side brought lower level mutants in addition to higher levels, but they already felt heavy pressure from Blood Lord’s aura as a top predator before White Queen. Their levels are so low that they are not recognized as equivalent to levels 8 or 9.
