She diluted it to 60% . Even this much is a lethal dose that could kill a level 6 within 10 minutes . Cha Jun Sung fought for several hours after taking thousands of rounds .
He does not die or show abnormal symptoms even with that, and has heavy movement with paralysis like Beholder’s psychokinesis .
“This is it . Do it again . Talk or suppress – do whatever you need to create the conditions we need to capture him . That’s the easiest way if we’re going to take him to the palace . ”
“Kikik! Yeah!”
Titan would have been able to bind him up, but this is not something that they can do . And it is not like they can take him after tying his arms and legs up . It is okay even if there is not a long period of time that they can control Cha Jun Sung’s mind . If they buy just a few days of time, they are prepared to make the most of it .
[It works!]
Beholder cheers . He succeeded in re-entry . Cha Jun Sung is physically exhausted from fighting Medusa under all sorts of restrictions, and he is experiencing hallucinations because of the poison . His mental defenses are bound to collapse .
[You’re the guy who came in before . Get out . ]
[Me?]
[Yeah . ]
[Did you go back to normal? It was a mess with two of you fighting before . ]
[A part became stable because you were digging around . But that doesn’t mean I’ve gone back to my original self . It’s just a part . I’ll say it again . Get out . ]
[I can’t do that . I have to take you to her Majesty . Do you know how far I walked? It was such a bother! Become one of us . ]
[Where are we?]
It is unfair . Beholder can see into Cha Jun Sung’s mind, but Cha Jun Sung cannot see into Beholder’s . It is not a matter of who is stronger, but a difference in ability .
[Italy’s capital, Rome . You don’t remember anything? Not even who you are?]
[Me? I’m Cha Jun Sung . Didn’t you already see that?]
[I did, but it’s hard to believe . Hey! Are you really a human? We can communicate well . If all goes well, we won’t even need to fight . ]
Beholder thought that the situation was going in their favor . It feels like if he keeps up a good atmosphere and sweet talks Cha Jun Sung, the battle could end now .
[Italy… Is this Europe? When you say Majesty, do you mean White Queen Lobelira?]
[You know her Majesty? Did you really kill that whore, Evil Queen?]
[If you don’t differentiate between reality and virtual… then, I did kill her . By the way, can I ask you for a favor?]
[What is it?]
[Can you help me so my mind can control my body? I’ll become one of you if you do that for me . I can’t do anything in this state . ]
[Will it work if I separate the Oriax? I don’t think I can do it for very long . ]
[A few days would be fine . Even a day . ]
[Fine! I’ll try it!]
The situation is unraveling well . Beholder is happy that he completed his mission, and helped Cha Jun Sung’s mind to push the Oriax .
There is nothing to lose in gaining points with someone they will become colleagues with . But is there really nothing to lose? Pushing too far ahead without thinking is bound to lead to mistakes .
Beholder can figure out what Cha Jun Sung is thinking if he has the mind to find out . When the opponent became submissive, he skipped steps with the thought that he just needed to end it quickly . There is no way to know what might result from that .
An unreactive body on its knees . While Beholder was talking to Cha Jun Sung’s mind, his body did not move as though it were a machine with its engine turned off .
Medusa released the hallucinations . A tremendous amount of energy is consumed to maintain the hallucinations . She needs to rest in order to use it sparingly .
She wants to eat something, but this is a battlefield with level 8 monsters . Unless they are crazy, lower level mutants would not remain here . Every living creature will have run away as soon as Cha Jun Sung roared and revealed his presence .
If she cannot supplement her strength with nutrients, calming her short breath will provide her with conditions to fight in .
“Ha? All wounds healed in the time it would take for a cup of coffee to go cold? He didn’t absorb my poison as nutrients, did he? This is a problem if that’s true . ”
Even if the poison has been diluted to 60%, it is harmful to the body unless it is a mutant that can handle poison . Though mutants have high detoxification capabilities and they are not affected, poison is still poison . It becomes an unnecessary attack .
It is easier to send it out than consume nutrients inside and detoxify . Then it is one of two cases . He either sucked up the venom to use as nutrients as Medusa said, or he stupidly did not expel the poison and is detoxifying from the inside .
“This won’t do . My dear children, go hunt for mommy . ”
Kyak!
Medusa stroked the snakes camouflaged as hair and they fell out to combine into one and become a venomous snake 3 to 4 meters long .
She had not shown this ability while fighting with Cha Jun Sung . She has only ever shown this ability once in her life! It was in a battle of order with Inferno .
The colorful snake grows farther from Medusa’s view . Its writhing is like that of a sneak, but it is as fast as an arrow . Medusa sent her children because she cannot leave . She needs to guard Cha Jun Sung because there is no way of knowing what might change .
The snake must not be underestimated because it is small . It is still a level 6 . If bitten by its fangs, a Lifer who has gone through the 4th stage of body modifications would not last 10 seconds .
Grey hair grows where the snakes had been . It is the hair she had when she had been human .
Cha Jun Sung did not show change even after several hours . He is still on his knees . Medusa relaxed and waited .
“Kihit!”
Beholder approaches from outside the battlefield . It is over . She will need to hear from him to know whether it was a failure or success, but it looks like a success .
“You’re here . How is he?”
“Kikik! Fortunately, we could communicate! His mind is split into two, but one side is for us . I helped that side to push down the other . ”
“For how long? When will he wake up?”
“2 days minimum, 3 days at most? It’ll get longer and longer if I hold him . I’m sure he’ll be completely eaten later . 5 minutes is enough to wake up . ”
Medusa’s expression becomes light . It took a few months to search for him . She relaxed and put her heart to rest .
Twitch .
“He’s moving . ”
“Hee hee!”
A weak vibration, Cha Jun Sung’s body is reacting . It started from his fingers and toes, spread to his elbows and knees, and ended with his body and neck .
9 eyes open . There was no difference in his intensity, but he was not full of ferocity and savagery as he had been before .
Cha Jun Sung put his palm with sharp nails on concrete . When he squeezed with strength, the stone floor shaves off under the gruesome grip . He ground the stone fragments he held in his hand and let the powder fly with the wind .
Boom!
His knees straighten . The world looks small when looking at it from 10 meters in the air . Why is it so small? It is a toy? His senses that are amplified by the hundreds of what he had as a human tell him that he has become a being that exceeded limits .
“Like this?”
Cha Jun Sung changes his body . He has never changed the way he wanted to with a sane mind, but he is used to it . His body must remember .
“How do you feel?”
“I feel?”
A sound from ahead . Medusa in her sleeping state and Beholder in his awakened state . He cannot think of the word to express himself .
“It’ll be strange for now . You’ve abandoned yourself and evolved into a new being . But that ends soon, too . Adapting is quick . ”
They understand Cha Jun Sung . There is no mutant that feels natural from the beginning after recovering normality . This was the same for Medusa and Beholder . How could they be natural when they do not know how anything worked out?
“The White Queen wants me?”
“You know her Majesty?”
“We’ve never met . I just know that she’s looking for me from my conversation with Beholder, but I don’t understand . Why is she trying to meet me?”
“Why else? She wants to gain an upper hand in the fight against the disasters . ”
“The 6 disasters… . . ”
