LM Volume 4 Chapter 109

TL: LightNovelCafe

 

Koharu whizzes by in a zig zag between the hunter’s legs . Light red blood flows out from the places scratched by the twin daggers .

It is thin compared to the body, but the strength is considerable . Even with twin daggers, they leave scratches at best . It might cut off if she saws at them, but she does not have the time for that .

When the hunter strikes its scythe down, it creates a hole in the ground and scatters debris everywhere . Even then, the end did not go out .

The hunter takes its wings out of its back and flies up into the sky . It cannot fly for too long because of its weight but it is threatening in its use to switch location .

If it flies into the sky, Koharu below it becomes exposed . In terms of a game, it is like a pattern that she needs to read in order to catch it .

Koharu did not overdo it in attacking it and used the booster to retreat far enough so she could respond . It is her battle style .

If meeting her as an enemy, it is a frustrating style . Since she is careful in all of her actions, she does not get caught up in a fight of numbers or when provoked .

As the hunter lowered, it settled in a spot dozens of meters away . Koharu ran at it as soon as it landed on the ground .

No matter how large it is, how thick its shell is, and how durable it is, it is not invincible . If it is hit over and over again to create wounds, any life form becomes exhausted .

The hunter however, also has a brain . Is it because it experienced the same attack multiple times? As soon as she came close, it swung the scythes around and walked backward .

It kept her from approaching it and created more distance when she was slowed down . It is an action that she cannot underestimate just because it is slow .

“They’re neck and neck . ”

“It’s strangely boring . ”

“I would have given it flesh for its bones, but Koharu has the type of personality where she doesn’t want to give anything when she takes . That’s why she was criticized a lot in the virtual version too . ”

She does not have a refreshing big hit . She takes the enemy down with an accumulation of damage . It could be seen as a boring fight as Park Jin Hyuk said .

 

‘But the Empress of Light is different . ’

He has never met her for himself, but he has seen her battle videos dozens of times .

Forget dog fights . She is not cowardly, but she mobilizes all methods in order to win . On top of that, she is incredible with a spear .

A spear’s specialty is mid-range . If the opponent comes closer than that distance, she does not retreat and breaks their joints or rips them apart with her teeth .

Empress of Light carries out a battle that people who do not know her would be doubtful of, as if it were nothing . Cha Jun Sung had also been bewitched while watching her .

‘Two days north, a small town before arriving at Volgograd . ’

Cha Jun Sung calculated the appropriate time . Empress of Light has entered several weeks before they did . She will be happily killing mutants right about now .

She prefers solo missions . The reason is that she is well acquainted . It takes a long time until completion, but there is a generous reward in exchange for the time .

There are pros and cons to going party and solo . They can receive less points in exchange for safety and swiftness, or they can gain a ton of points by risking the danger and being later .

The interesting thing is that there are people who show greater strength when they are alone . There is nothing for them to take care of so in a dangerous situation, they only need to look after themselves .

‘That’ll be its own type of mission . Going through a level C alone was too much . She’s outnumbered . ’

Empress of Light is strong . By her specifications, she does not get pushed back by a level 5 .

What she is pushed back by is numbers . She can sweep through the underlings but the burly ones are hard . In simple terms, she is lacking in endurance .

It is impossible for someone acting alone to increase their endurance .

1 person cannot become 2 people . As a mission’s difficulty becomes harder, the mutants also become stronger . It is a never-ending chronic problem .

Bang bang!

As the fight between Koharu and the hunter rises, they only focus on the opponent .

There is less of a burden in a single battle with 1 mutant, but not even Cha Jun Sung has the confidence to take on a progressive mission alone .

According to research, the 500,000 point mission that the World Federation took on had 100,000 to 120,000 level 1 through 3 mutants, 50 level 4s, and 2 level 5s .

Empress of Light has taken on 200,000, which is not even half of the 500,000, and even if they say that it would be 40% of the number, it is not a level that she can handle .

No wonder she has been forced into a corner and has been placed in danger . It is an error of judgment on her part .

The hunter’s thinnest leg is cut off under Koharu’s repeated attacks . The damage is beyond regeneration .

It has been cut off but cannot be seen as great damage to a level 5 . Its blood is boiling and blood and flesh is about to protrude from the wound .

Koharu focuses her attacks intensively on the leg that is cut off . Since it is before the sturdy flesh has been formed, it went cut out easily like jelly .

Besides, there is something else she is going after . It is the body’s balance .

When the hunter tried to turn its body to attack Koharu, it wobbled to the side where the balance was cut . It collapsed a small part .

It may not seem like it, but a person cannot walk properly if even a thumb or pinky toe is cut off . Everything has a role for use .

Mutants are the same . Just because a wound is weak does not mean that it does not have an effect on the body . All ends come from a start .

Koharu stepped on the back of the helper that lost its balance, and went up . She ran up and brought her twin daggers down on its big eyes .

Insects’ eyes are compounded . Their sight is wide, so they can detect attacks from behind without trouble . The hunter did not miss that moment either .

The hunter’s joint folds abnormally and it falls down . There is a deluge of scythes . If hit, one can be skewered from the head .

She takes steps . Left, right, front, back – Koharu dances . She is avoiding attacks that could grind whole cars by a sliver .

Koharu stabbed both the hunter’s eyes and quickly jumped down .

“Koharu!”

“Koharu! It’s dangerous!”

Park Jin Hyuk and Kyoko scream . The hunter put up full defenses . It could switch direction if there is any place to take a step, but it is the air .

-[Reverse booster activated! Output rate 30%, distancing from enemy field of command . ]

The booster attached on her arms and legs turned to the reverse and instantly flew Koharu up . An afterimage appeared, and the hunter ripped that afterimage .

There are 2 boosters on her back, 2 each on her elbows and ankles, for a total of 6 .

It is possible to transform to the desired direction, so if the power output is fully activated, she can fly in the air but it is ineffective to use this continuously .

There would be nothing they could do if they need to create a dogfight for whatever reason, but they need to save their energy in case there is a ground battle like the one they are in now .

Koharu retreated and used all of her strength to throw the twin daggers .

The hunter brandishes its scythes . It missed one of the daggers because of a pain of its eye ripping, and the other dug back into the eye .

The vibrating function is on . The dagger in its eye kept shaking and widened the wound . They cannot imagine how painful it is .

It cannot regenerate until the dagger has been pulled out . There is no point in its trying .

“Ack!”

“What is that?”

The hunter lifts its scythe and digs out its own eyeball . Koharu was trying to pick up the dagger from the ground, and was surprised . She did not know that it would go to such lengths!

The hunter becomes angry and struck down at Koharu’s back . It can only see the woman who caused it great suffering . It is half out of its mind .

Cha Jun Sung interfered . The booster with output rate of 100% moved him above the hunter’s head within moments . It was almost like teleportation .

The Wolf Kill penetrated through the thick shell and bones to stab the brain . She had been surprised when she saw it digging out its own eye, but she did not let her guard down and moved out of the way .

While it was stuck in the brain, Cha Jun Sung moved the Wolf Kill forward so it emerged, splitting the hunter’s head . It still does not die and is only in a craze .

“Took you off guard, didn’t it?”

“Yes . ”

“I didn’t know that it would dig its own eyes out either . It might have been able to act in response because it could watch the battle . ”

Koharu went to the hunter, sprawled out and trembling in anger . Letting her guard down is one thing, and she needs to end it now . Of course it would die even if she left it alone .

-[You have earned 120,000 points and 40,000 achievement points . You have earned 100,000 reward points and 50,000 achievement points for completing the mission . ]

220,000 and 90,000 . Is this the class of level C? It is incredible considering she caught 1 mutant . Everything had been possible because they had the battleshoots .

The hunter is in the lower ranks of level 5 . Koharu did not show it, but her pride was hurt . She struggled this much with a lower rank .

“You can win, right?”

“There is 17% left of the battleshoot’s energy level . 2 would be difficult . ”

She can win if they fight again, but 2 of them is too much . She could do something about it if she puts her life on the line, but beyond that is impossible .

“We can fill in whatever we’re lacking slowly by upgrading . Don’t be discouraged . ”

Cha Jun Sung would have finished it faster than she did . The Wolf Kill’s power could get through the hunter’s shell more effectively than her twin daggers could .

Koharu only has one disadvantage . She has trouble getting the upper hand against mutants with strong defense . She will need to change her weapons to something more powerful .

Koharu takes a square object out of her space compression bag . It is a disposable charger for her battleshoot . If she leaves it plugged in, it will supplement .

Pew pew!

“What are you doing?”

“Test . ”

Park Jin Hyuk shoots the Head Hunter at the hunter’s corpse . The explosive embeds in the skin and makes blood splatter out, but the wound is not deep . It is just a scratch .

Bang!

The bomb goes off and a part of the corpse becomes sunken in . A large piece of flesh falls off . Even still, Park Jin Hyuk’s frown remains .

“Hm . I would have suffered if I fought this too . Look at its defense . It’s like a turtle . ”

The hunter puts all of its trust in its scythes and sturdy shell, and does not take defensive behavior . It starts by attacking and ends by attacking .

Cha Jun Sung scratched his cheek at Park Jin Hyuk’s complaint . Even if he says that, he would have been fighting ferociously .

“It’s a bit boring for a level C, so shall we go around and earn points?”

The destination is already decided . They can warm up until they meet Empress of Light . If they want to complete a 200,000 point mission, they need to get fired up .
