Jigneon flicks his finger .
A hologram appears in the air, showing a mission area .
Boom boom boom!
Thousands of Lifers are engaged in a vicious melee against mutants .
Cha Jun Sung saw this and remembered fighting in the ocean . The battles are the same, the only difference being land and sea .
“What mark is that?”
A familiar guild mark . It is on the tip of his tongue, but he cannot recall it . He said that it would be Bloody Kingdom, but that isn’t the mark of Bloody Kingdom .
“It’s a level A mission . ”
“Huh?”
Was Bloody Kingdom big enough to go into level A? Something that even the World Federation has been putting off? Are they pushing through with volume?
It’s level 8 if it’s a level A .
The World Federation could technically go into a level A . If all of the Rankers go up against level 8s, they would be able to complete the mission at the cost of great damage . They haven’t attempted it yet because they want to complete it without making sacrifices .
“That’s the Lifer Borteth chose . He gave him benefits under the table . ”
Boom!
A giant explosion occurs far from the Lifer and mutant battlefield . It is like the power of a missile falling .
Boom boom boom boom!
Even after the giant explosion faded, there were continuous explosions . The point of view changes .
A Lifer is fighting against a large mutant .
“Scorpion? Ugh! I think I can remember what that is! What was that called?”
“Rogue Scorpion Monarch . ”
“Oh right!”
A giant scorpion with an equal mix of black and white, brings down four pairs of pincers and three poisoned tails in order to crush the enemy .
Black fog floats near the scorpion in a 30 to 40 meter radius . It is an extremely poisonous fog that burns skin just from contact .
Level 8 Rogue Scorpion Monarch .
He is sure that it is the mutant that Poison King succeeded against in a one-person raid in order to enter the disaster ranking . Cha Jun Sung watches the Lifer fighting against the Rogue Scorpion Monarch . He will know who it is right away if he is a Ranker . Rankers have unique combat styles . It isn’t because they are strong, but because they have individuality .
“Tyrant!”
“Ha ha ha ha! Die!”
A hologram comes up in response to a harsh voice coming out of the battlesuit . It seems this is how the Lifer is being watched .
Tyrant is a terrorist .
He battles using bombs like Nuclear, who he is affiliated with . That is why the guild mark had been so familiar .
He is part of Bloody Kingdom, but he also runs a guild called Rage . This means he doesn’t have to go around with the guild members of Bloody Kingdom .
Zing!
A bomb in Tyrant’s hand becomes red . A red membrane was covering the bomb . A haze flickers around his hand .
“Red light bomb . ”
9 combination battlesuit red light bomb . It isn’t a bomb that is sold in the store .
It is handmade by buying the materials . It is Tyrant’s unique skill to coagulate his own energy into a special bomb . It is similar yet distinct from similar terrorist Nuclear’s energy explosion with a pure energy ball .
It is a skill that can be used if it is combined with a level B battlesuit .
It isn’t fascinating, but its power bothers Cha Jun Sung .
The red light bomb left Tyrant’s hand and every time it exploded, the Rogue Scorpion Monarch’s fog trembles .
It is one against one .
To be able to battle one-on-one against a level 8 .
“Did he reach completion?”
“Tyrant is on the exact path that you are on . ”
Jigneon said it in a roundabout way, but Cha Jun Sung understood him .
There is one way of reaching completion without going through advancement . If Borteth had given Tyrant the choice of following him for benefits .
“… Did he give Tyrant an opening card? Why to someone like him?”
Nod .
“Because there’s no better tool . Think about it . He’ll be easy to control because he’s greedy and selfish . More so than Blood King or Dark Side . ”
He agrees with what Jigneon is saying .
It isn’t that Tyrant isn’t smart . He’s the type who is willing to give mutual help if he can get what he wants .
When limited to the two-dimensional world of Life Mission, which isn’t touched by modern earth’s power, then he is someone who can do whatever it takes .
“It’s strange . Forget the card . How did he do his body modifications? What about the side effects? It isn’t something that can be done easily . ”
Did he withstand the side effects?
Even the World Federation Rankers had been stuck at stages 7 and 8 before he helped them . It is normal to hesitate more when it comes to stages 9 and 10 .
“We created Life Mission . The items and body modifications – all of it . The supervisors know how to weaken the side effects that come with body modifications . There is a different way for each person . Borteth used that on Tyrant . That’s how that guy got through stage 10 . The only difference between you and him is the 1 combination battlesuit . ”
Jigneon didn’t mention Cha Jun Sung’s mutation .
He is only comparing them as humans, with what can be seen to the naked eye .
“I told you before, didn’t I? You’re my challenger . I can’t leave them to be so reckless . This experiment needs to flow naturally . The only subjects are Lifers and mutants . Anything beyond is unnecessary . ”
Cha Jun Sung could get a glimpse of Jigneon’s personality . He is an old-fashioned type who is stubborn and places a lot of importance in principle .
Those who aren’t would see this is as frustrating, but he doesn’t seem to be a bad person .
‘Though I can’t tell what you’re really like . ’
He didn’t show it on the outside .
Rather than respond to Jigneon, Cha Jun Sung watched Tyrant fight against the Rogue Scorpion Monarch .
He is strong . He has found his strength from the virtual version .
From the way he is switching items, it seems he scraped together everything he needed with his ample points as a foundation .
If he fights as Jigneon’s pawn, he can win .
He can win narrowly . The difference in Ranker strength is like a sheet of paper .
Even with 10 combinations, it is difficult to take on two Rankers at the same time .
It is a win if if is one-on-one, but a loss if it is two-on-one .
If fighting strength has to be calculated, Cha Jun Sung is 1 . 5 and 1 is a Ranker . That difference becomes distinguished amongst Rankers, but this is the average .
“You said that I’m a **** . Why do I need to fight with Tyrant?”
They were enemies in the virtual version, but they have not come across each other in the reality version . There’s no need to bring up old feelings for no reason .
“Are you confident you can be free from Borteth? We may not like what he’s doing, but he’s a supervisor . Level S Lifer? That’s nothing compared to a supervisor . ”
For the conversation to go like this, something has gone seriously wrong .
“So your point is that you’ll watch my back from Borteth . ”
“I can’t give you the benefits that Borteth gave to Tyrant . That goes against the purpose of Life Mission . However, I can protect you from Borteth . That doesn’t go against the rules . ”
‘A threat…”
Honestly, Cha Jun Sung is suspicious as to whether he really will be threatened and if what Jigneon is saying is the truth . He doesn’t want to become a **** .
But it also doesn’t seem right to ignore all of this .
He might go completely berserk if there is another incidence like Heavy Gravity .
‘Let’s say I accept . How do we kill Tyrant? If he has the same tendencies he did in the virtual version, he’ll always have a string of subordinates with him . ’
The World Federation will accept if he asks them for help . The two powers are enemies . There are a lot of people who have an axe to grind against Bloody Kingdom .
But it isn’t something he can bring up to them easily .
It’s related to survival . He doesn’t want to bring Park Jin Hyuk’s group into it either . He completely took them off the list .
Should he just hit and retreat by himself?
This is the most comfortable method, but he wants to take care of the situation without revealing his identity . He is desperate for a sparking idea .
“Are you considering what will happen when you accept or reject in your mind?”
“Well…”
He didn’t deny it .
As important as this is, he needs to be that much more cautious .
