‘It’s using mutants?’
He cannot believe it .
The way this mutant fights is entirely different from the way the mutants he has experienced until now fought . It felt like he was going against an experienced and skilled soldier .
This mutant is using its environment and the mutants living in its territory .
In flight at that . It understands how battlesuits perform .
He gets goosebumps .
That isn’t just being smart . He can see the trap, but he can’t stop the chase . He needs to kill the Black Devil if he wants to complete the mission . He can’t know when he’ll find it again if he loses it now . The Rage guild has suffered too many damages .
They would just be taking a huge hit .
It could be creating a trap somewhere, so he needs to end everything in the initial place where they found it .
“Follow me . ”
Cha Jun Sung has the strength of a top level 8 .
This means he has absolute influence over the mutants in this world .
While Cha Jun Sung was digging the Ant Hell with the Bomb Ants, he used the Universe Eye to search the locations of flying mutants below them .
He hadn’t been able to find many through the first 3 he had installed .
Cha Jun Sung and Tyrant may feel equally strong to mutants, but instinct makes them surrender to Cha Jun Sung .
He used his level 8 standing to his advantage . He is like a commander forcing flying mutants into battle whether they want to go in or not .
That is how he makes them go against Tyrant .
He doesn’t need to exercise his dominion or manage them separately . All he needs to do is know their location .
They won’t be a match for Tyrant’s combat skills, but they will be able to chip away at his power .
There are a lot of mutants . There are a lot of flying mutants too .
If he thrusts them all at Tyrant, he will reach his limit even if he is a complete level S .
If that happens, he will put his subordinates forward and Cha Jun Sung will kill them one by one . He will end it all once he has killed enough of them .
This is the land of mutants .
Not of Lifers .
Cha Jun Sung is like a king here .
On the other hand, Lifers are savages who have invaded the king’s territory .
There are still many places he needs to go .
Most levels 3 and 4 are small in number, but there are a few that are useful even in small numbers .
“Those guys in particular will be able to deliver a hit . ”
It is hard to find level 7s, but he installed 8 Universe Eyes .
7 were left after one was destroyed, but there is no way that they won’t be able to find a level 7 with such an extensive search area . He found two species .
A male and female pair is living 120km away .
He needs to make Tyrant follow him there . He will test him a few times and then take the win . That will be the final place where he and Tyrant settle this .
***
Ack!
Tyrant yells .
His evil shout full of rage, rings throughout the area . Murderous intent emanates from it .
Blood drips down his battlesuit . Chunks of flesh are stuck on it too . Remnants of various species of mutants .
Rage guild members are standing around Tyrant .
About half a day has passed since they started chasing Cha Jun Sung, but there is no sign of progress . They keep feeling like they might catch him, but they never actually do . It actually felt like their allied powers were dwindling from tricks that they could see but had to endure even while knowing they were happening .
Cha Jun Sung, who Tyrant knows as Black Devil, made his escape routes the nests of flying mutants and moved through those . Whenever it feels like he is about to get caught, a mutant nest appears . There aren’t very many, but there are enough to hold Tyrant back .
When this kept happening, Tyrant fell back in order to save his energy, and ordinary Lifers filled in that empty space as Cha Jun Sung had expected .
Rage guild is superior in terms of power, but a few Lifers died every time they annihilated hundreds of mutants .
“There’s definitely an effect . ”
Cha Jun Sung looked at Tyrant in satisfaction .
Bringing different mutants together and controlling them is hard even for Cha Jun Sung . He would be able to do it if he wanted to, but it would be extremely difficult .
Dominion is forced . It doesn’t bring out sincerity . He chose the Bomb Ants because if their unique breeding power and efficiency .
[I think you will be able to lure them to the nest . ]
“I’ll have to . There’s still a lot of them left, but it’s time to take the bait . ”
Cha Jun Sung fell behind Tyrant and attacked the Rage guild members from among the mutants .
He used the mutants as shields .
He was able to reduce the force that had followed by about 30 to 40% .
“He’s more concerned with his pride than he is about the damages wreaked on others . I’m sure he thinks it’s fine if his guild members die out as long as he can catch me . Though he’ll probably see the reduced force at the end of the mission and go crazy . ”
It isn’t a personality that can simply be described as egotistic and proud .
Strategist, Blood King, and Dark Side would have come up with the optimal plan to take him on rather than chasing him like this . There is only one reason that Cha Jun Sung knows of for why Tyrant is doing this .
“He thinks of his guild members as expendables . ”
What are expendables?
Something you use once and throw away .
He thinks that he can replace them whenever he wants, so he is chasing him to such extents while suffering devastation .
That persistence resulted in his force being seeded out by the flying mutants that Cha Jun Sung brought them to .
He could do this dozens more times if they were to go farther away, but that would take them away from a level 7 domain .
He needs to mind his energy too . Cha Jun Sung will have to finish it up in the end .
He cannot kill the entire Rage guild by pushing subordinate mutants that die out quickly, on them .
He can’t just try to make gains . He needs to be prepared to lose, too .
Cha Jun Sung intends on ending this at the nest that they will go to next . They will become reliable allies .
Cha Jun Sung didn’t exercise his dominion over level 7 flying mutants in the first place because he knew that they would not succumb readily .
They are with hundreds lower level mutants, so he would have to kill them too if they got into a fight . So what could he do? He can only use them like this .
He could take a lot of damages with repulsive force if he tried to exercise dominion by force, and he discovered them later than he did the Bomb Ants .
Half a day had passed since he started running away from Tyrant .
It is a long time considering Cha Jun Sung’s speed at 120km, but he had been late in arriving because he had gone back and forth here and there .
“I see it . ”
A bustling metropolis .
High rises are lined up .
They are on the roof of a building so high they can’t see the ground . On top of the highest buildings at the center, in the middle of a bustling metropolis .
They are a pair of 9 Bijous .
As birds with 9 wings, they look very strange .
With feathers from head to hip, they look like western dragons other than the fact that they don’t have tails . Their heads were those of birds and not dragons, and their coats were made of fur and not scales .
Their sharply curled toenails look exactly like chicken feet . To put it simply, they look like the semblance of birds were forced onto the bodies of dragons .
They have two pairs of wings on either side, four pairs of wings with another single wing on their backs . The wing on the back controlled directions for quick turns . In airplane terms, they play the role of rudders . That is why they are much more advantaged in aerial war .
Flying mutants are in place in the buildings near the 9 Bijou in rank order, and they are not the same species .
They are underlings that are clinging to a stronger being . They number in just hundreds, but they can be called a force because they are made up of levels 5 and 6 .
Cha Jun Sung found his destination, stopped flapping his wings, and met the 9 Bijous’ nest at eye level .
Then he made a move to let them know that he arrived .
Kik?
The female turned her long neck like a giraffe’s and looks at Cha Jun Sung . There is murderous intent in her eyes . The sleeping male also woke up .
His reaction is the same .
They show the desire to kill him immediately .
“They’re **** . ”
[You played around with them so much, so it’d be weirder if they weren’t . ]
Cha Jun Sung bothered the 9 Bijous a little for practice before Tyrant arrived .
He didn’t fight them, but he kept challenging them from far away and running away .
These guys didn’t surrender to him like other mutants did .
They are doing their level’s worth .
The 9 Bijous withstand his power unlike the other mutants that got scared out of their wits whenever Cha Jun Sung roared .
“I need to call them in . Can’t chase them away . ”
He can’t roar at the 9 Bijous and send them to Tyrant . They don’t run away toward Tyrant, and come at him .
He realized after failing a few times . He needs to call them from the direction that he is going in .
[Tyrant will catch up in 30 seconds . ]
“Good . ”
The 9 Bijous only watch Cha Jun Sung far away . They don’t take any definitive actions .
But when he got closer…
Kyak!
The male and female spread their nine 40 meter wings that are a few times Cha Jun Sung’s size, and soar into the sky . He didn’t come here to fight them . He came to instigate .
Bang!
Cha Jun Sung had been keeping distance between Tyrant and himself, and now ran away toward Tyrant . The 9 Bijous are coming from behind him and Tyrant’s group is coming from the front .
They were about to overlap, but he is relaxed .
It is just 30 seconds .
He reduced the time so rapidly it couldn’t be felt, and they were coming from either side so Cha Jun Sung and Tyrant quickly met up .
“9 – 9 Bijous!”
The Rage guild hesitates . Tyrant is taken aback too .
In that time, Cha Jun Sung bypassed the Rage guild, killed a few, and went by .
Kyak!
The 9 Bijous come down on the Rage guild members and Tyrant, who haven’t been able to get a handle on the situation .
