Cha Jun Sung felt extreme fatigue. He has been in constant battle, starting with Odelia to Vanessa and Narsiel.

His mind and body are depleted.

He’s so tired he could just lay down right now, but he doesn’t stop fighting.

The second he stops, that cunning and sinister Narsiel’s attack will destroy his nucleus.

What can he do since he doesn’t want to die?

He has no choice but to fight.

And another reason to keep fighting is that this drag of a fight will finally end with this.

He transformed his left arm to resemble Hades. If only he could slice Narsiel’s upper and lower body in half!

Narsiel has 6 arms on her left and 6 on her right for a total of 12. He cut off a few while fighting in his battlesuit, but they regenerated and mutant Cha Jun Sung needs to fight against all 12 again.

At the end of an intense fight, he cut off 10. There are 2 left.

Those 2 arms cut Cha Jun Sung’s right arm and right leg at the same time. He doesn’t care about his arm, but his balance is off because of the leg. Rather than losing mobility, it was more of a disadvantage to lose his stability.

“I – I won! I won!”

“You’re delusional.”

Cha Jun Sung’s tail split into hundreds of pieces and bind up Narsiel. She cannot move because they have wrapped around her entire body like compression bandage. She was wrapped up so severely that she looked like a mummy.

“Let me go!”

“Die.”

He brought down his left arm’s weapon. Cha Jun Sung’s tail and Narsiel both get split in two. She’s split from her shoulder to her torso.

They’re both so tired neither of them are capable of rapid regeneration. Regeneration might somehow be possible if he gathers all the strength left in his body, but even that will take time.

He needs to kill the enemy. He needs to drive through while he can still kill her. He cannot give her time to regenerate and regain strength.

He had been moving elaborately before, but is now moving like a beast. Cha Jun Sung sliced up Narsiel’s body as if butchering meat.

There is a sweet taste in his mouth.

Cha Jun Sung did not regenerate his right arm and leg. It is much more important to kill Narsiel.

Cha Jun Sung dissects Narsiel, looking for her nucleus.

Ordinary mutants don’t have a distinct nucleus. If major organs like their brains and hearts are damaged, they die just like humans.

But beyond level 7 – especially at level 8 – they form a separate lump that is special like their source, and that is the nucleus.

There is a good chance that level 8s can die if something goes wrong with their brains or hearts as well.

He won’t know unless this happens to him, but there is a peculiar object that can regenerate his brain and heart if something happen to them. That’s what Beholder said. That’s why he needs to be sure to find and destroy the nucleus in level 7 through 9s. That’s the surest way of killing a mutant.

A grey, round organ comes out in Cha Jun Sung’s hand.

The nucleus.

The life goes out of Narsiel’s eyes as she watches this.

“How could I… In a place like this…”

“I’ll send you off one by one. Don’t worry. I’ll take this.”

Cha Jun Sung eats Narsiel’s nucleus.

It is just a temporary measure, but this will help recharge his nutrients. Right now, he’s grateful for even this much. It’s disgusting but it tastes pretty good, whether that’s because he’s a mutant or because it fits his appetite. The effects of eating the nucleus appeared only minutes after.

His right arm and leg regenerate and the wounds all over his body heal.

Narsiel’s nucleus isn’t Cha Jun Sung’s. He might be able to control it if he was healthy, but he lost agency when he became a mess of injuries.

That was the only role the nucleus played. He is satisfied with the results.
