Volume 9 / Chapter 262

10 sentinels float in a rectangular form . They are in proper arrangement so that they can go into battle at any time .
Right now, the sentinels are empty . Excluding the cyborgs sitting in the cockpits, all personnel have gone down to the ground .
They can only clear large areas with bombs . They need to go in themselves and dig in if they want to take care of the smaller parts more carefully .
1 raid was dispatched in this area .
A 1000 person force unit was scattered out to carry out their mission to annihilate mutants .
In other words, 10 forces .
“Hyper Kick!”
Boom!
A level 6 mutant Ghost Deer’s back is destroyed under one Lifer’s kick .
Disgusting chunks of flesh fly with that impact . The advantages for insect series mutants are powerful force, health, and defense . Of those, defense is the best but it is over once that collapses .
Boom!
A grenade goes into the caved in back .
An explosion inside .
The Ghost Deer stretches helplessly . Its organs are crushed . Similar things happen nearby . Lifers grouped in forces bomb straggling mutants and are overwhelmingly on offense .
“Alright alright . Hurry up and clear this, then rest . ”
The force leader speaks as he brushes traces of the Ghost Deer from his leg .
His battlesuit’s lower body, under the knee to be precise, is abnormally developed .
He had modeled it with more focus on one area . His may not be like that of Rankers, but his battlesuit is a 7 combination that is on a similar level to that of most large guild masters . He is actually the master of a large guild with roots in the Netherlands .
The force he brought in is made up of elite guild members . The 100,000 that entered together are ranked by ability in World Federation as well .
“As expected from master’s Hyper Kick! It’s one hit for a man . ”
“If you can get past 9 combination, you won’t fall behind Rankers either . ”
The force leader felt lifted by the members’ compliments . If only there wasn’t a difference in the combination numbers, he would pack a hit that wouldn’t fall behind any other battlesuit .
Even if the combination count is the same, the types of combination considering factors like whether it is specialized for battle or support make a huge difference in power and ability .
The force leader was sure .
If the Hyper Kick reaches 9 combination, not just his lower body but his entire body would be strengthened .
“We’re done here . It looks like the other forces are finishing up as well . ”
One by one they reported that they had completed their duty via their radio channel .
There are several radio channels . It gets messy if 100,000 use a single channel . They have force channels that at least 100 people use . Only Strategist got integrated management of all of the channels in the communications sector at headquarters, and everyone else acted within the channels they were allowed .
[Raid 85, respond . ] [Raid 85 responding . ] [Forces are coming in over the radio in order, but we’ve been disconnected from forces 841 and 846 . 8 forces get together immediately and find what happened to them . ]
The force leader’s face dropped at the new mission . This was the same for the force members . They lost contact with 2 forces . This is a bad sign .
“The raid channel was quiet . ”
A tranquil jungle .
They heard several explosions in sequence because they were fighting mutants, but losing connection with 2 forces is a separate matter .
If something had happened to them physically, they would have ignored channels and yelled ‘Help!’ into the radio . But there had been nothing .
“This is worrisome . ”
“Damn it!”
The mission experience of the 100 people here combined reaches over tens of thousands .
Veterans among veterans . They thought of the worst case scenario first .
“It would be nice if they were just being lazy, but there’s no way that’s the case . In this kind of situation, there’s a high chance that they were killed without a sound . It’s 200 people . ”
They could understand with level E, level D, and level C Lifers with battlesuits .
But for that to happen to level A and B Lifers?
[Force 849, go to the location I call out . ] [Yes . ]
The coordinates sent over raid 85 leader’s radio enters the direction they need to go in, and it gets marked in the battlesuit helmet .
“Alright, let’s go . ”
“Huh? Fo – force leader, over there…”
“What?”
Right before the force leader moved in the direction marked . A few force members discovered something and pointed .
Then at that moment…
Black shadows flew violently through the air at the force members’ heads . They were thin cloth-like fluttering tentacles .
It penetrated exactly 90 .
Level A Lifers reacted and avoided the attack, but all level B Lifers were killed .
“What – what on earth is this!”
“Ugh! They got away again . Huh? 10 lived again? This is really funny . ”
The place that the few dead force members had pointed, where the sound was coming from . The surviving level A Lifers turned their heads .
“They’ve advanced a lot when they used to die on contact . They avoided my surprise attack?”
Sunlight reflects off the white hair that falls to her waist . Her skin that looks soft like silk distracts them .
The **** Evil Queen walks out from the jungle . The 10 people are unable to move . A heavy pressure crushed them .
The force leader beat that pressure and took steps backward .
His experience until now tells him .
That woman isn’t a human . She is a level 8 mutant at the least .
He can understand why they lost connection with 2 forces . Level B Lifers got swept away like sand in a wave with one surprise attack . Of course there’s no way they would be able to get in contact with them .
On top of that…
Their minds became heavy like their bodies, and their mouths felt heavy too . For it to be this difficult for pioneer like level A LIfers to get a word out .
Evil Queen rolls her eyes . They roll around like toys . It isn’t fitting for someone with such a pretty face, like something out of a horror movie .
Only a couple seconds had passed since she appeared, but it felt like a thousand years to the Lifers that had been reduced from a force to a party .
Papat!
Evil Queen made the first movement . She looks like a weak female human, but she was so fast that not even a level A battlesuit could detect her .
“Hurry up and report!”
No one could get to their senses .
The force leader’s realization was when they finally got a grasp on the situation and flew everywhere like grenade fragments . All he has to do is open his mouth .
Huh?
The sight of the force members tilts . It is strange . The world reverses .
‘How?’
The force leader looked at themselves and hardened like plaster .
He wants to ask . Why is she looking at them like that . To tell him since they can’t see .
The 9 people other than the force leader are divided into dozens of pieces as her tentacle is brandished like whip . Their battlesuit outer armor rips like paper .
“It’s the same pattern . 90 die in the first round, 9 in the second, and 1 survives in the end . So this is how 100 people are put together . ”
“This is crazy! You crazy bitch!”
Boom!
The force leader aimed a Hyper Kick at Evil Queen’s neck . It is a frantic struggle for survival with dozens of tons of power behind it .
Bang!
Evil Queen lifts her arm . Her thin straw-like arm blocks the attack of a 7 combination battlesuit that is thicker than a woman’s waist .
Very lightly .
It wasn’t actually light . The surface that Evil Queen is standing on is unable to withstand the Hyper Kick, and collapses . The impact had gone through her .
“You aren’t weak . It would have taken some time if there had been 100 people like you . ”
There’s no need for her to awaken . Being in her human state is plenty .
It’s just that they become bothersome like flies if there are a lot of them .
[Save me!]
Evil Queen’s hand goes through the battlesuit’s chest .
The force leader’s chest is also penetrated .
He spoke over the radio right before he died unlike the others . It is because he was able to compare the similarities that existed when Evil Queen massacred the first and second forces and then the third force .
Not even a level A Lifer would have been able to withstand it without having gone through the 7th stage of body modifications and a 7 combination battlesuit .
The force leader who had been so proud of his Hyper Kick had only been half level A Lifer . That means he was weak .
A level A Ranker could easily take on one party .
“The path is fun . I get to warm up . Let’s see . There are still a lot . ”
Evil Queen’s senses transcended even those of level 9 .
They are so developed that she could hear a needle falling from several kilometers away .
She can feel it .
There are a lot of Lifers like this nearby . Much more than she’s killed already .
“They’re coming on their own . ”
Until now, Evil Queen went looking for them herself .
But this time, they came to her from all different directions . Is it because she killed them later than she normally did?
Evil Queen used to be human, so she knows a lot about machines . This kind of armor will have a means for communication inside .
700 Lifers heard their fellow Lifer’s scream and surround Evil Queen . A few already began reporting . Soon, they will see Evil Queen’s appearance .
But they won’t be able to determine species or identity with just that .
“I think it’ll be fun this time . ”
Bang!
Evil Queen ran toward the encirclement .
It might take longer than when she killed 100 people, but it’ll still be easy if they have similar abilities .
