Volume 8 / Chapter 221

TL: LightCafe

Editor: Hungry Panda

It is just that the part of it being giant gets to them. The range of its sense of searching is incredibly wide for it to be able to detect something 20km away.

“How many are there?”

[There’s one. It’s appearance is being drawn through sonar detection.]

Uranos draws out what it looks like through a 3D video.

It looks strange. Like a mix of an octopus and jellyfish.

“It’s a Penomina.”

“Ah! I’ve heard the name before. What is it like?”

Sea General saw it being drawn out and spoke for Uranos.

Level 7 Penomina.

They live in the deep sea, so finding them is like finding a pin in a haystack.

Penomina is like that just as underwater mutants generally are.

“I won’t need to explain what it looks like. Its method of attack is its hundreds of tentacles that have a powerful poison on them. And there’s something disgusting inside of those tentacles. I guess they can be called something like mouths.”

Cha Jun Sung entered a level B mission.

It’s not a mission aimed for completion. They just picked it to have a mission in the Pacific Ocean.

That’s why they are ignoring it and out at sea, but the Penomina had appeared.

“And it’s strong.”

[Level B special mission Sea Watchman has been applied.]

As soon as Sea General’s notice ended, the special mission was applied.

Advancement, 50 million points.

It wouldn’t be applied as a sub-concept if the standard were lower than a level B mission, but the mission was applied because it is high.

The 1000 Lifers who boarded Albatrus found this out.

Even the Rankers who had been yawning, opened their eyes with the appearance of powerful mutants. They have become level A Lifers, but it is an opponent that they could or could not take on while on land. That means there’s a higher chance that they will lose while fighting in water.

It had been boring for the past few weeks because there had only been trivial ones, but wouldn’t something like that be able to show them what Albatrus can do?

“Let’s try using the spiral swill artillery.”

“We can’t.”

Nuclear wants to use the spiral swill.

Strategist turned him down right away. It is Albatrus’ top weapon, eating up an incredible amount of energy. It takes a long time and is complicated. They can’t use it on a mere level 7.

[I see it. Should we attack?]

“Wait a moment. Watch it so we can record it.”

Not much is known about high level underwater mutants. It’s good to get an idea of them while they have a chance. It’ll make attacking easier if they encounter them again.

Kyak!

The Penomina’s dull figure appeared in the front screen mirror image and suddenly went near Albatrus.

Penomina watched the enemy that invaded its area rather than attacking.

Its tentacles wave gently and allow it to move here and there.

It easily moved 100m every time it waved them.

“It’s huge.”

“It looks like it’s twice the size of Metal Giant.”

It looks meager because of its long tentacles.

Its real body is a fourth of that?

About 70m is the tentacles.

But it’s still a level 7 and the intimidation it gives off from pure size is at the top of the underwater mutants they have seen until now.

Penomina watches the Albatrus and creates distance.

950m.

There is a 10 times difference from what can be seen by the naked eye through just comparison.

It isn’t strong just because it’s big, but mutants are sensitive with sight.

It is the fear of an intruder.

“Uranos, try challenging it a little.”

[Hydraulic gun loaded. Launch.]

Boom boom boom boom!

Dozens of hydraulic guns that are always opened, attack Penomina.

It is 30% power.

They adjusted it weakly in order to watch its behavior.

The Penomina avoids all of the hydraulic guns. Then it created more distance.

It sees it as a danger.

“What if it runs away?”

“It might.”

[The distance has now reached 800m. If you want to fire the hydraulic guns, we have to raise the output to 70%. I recommend killing it with the maximum output.]

Hydraulic guns have short range.

Even when output is up to 100%, it can only reach a couple kilometers. Hydraulic impact guns go farther, and spiral swills even farther.

“It won’t come near.”

“From his perspective, the Albatrus will probably look like a higher predator. It just has no life.”

It’s similar.

Albatrus is a machine. It doesn’t have the energy of a living being.

It is moving however, so the Penomina slowed down its approach.

“It’s just right.”

“What?”

When Cha Jun Sung didn’t make sense, Basil looked at him in puzzlement.

“I’ll be right back.”

“What? You’ll be right back?”

“I thought about it but if the Albatrus is dangerous, don’t we need to go out and fight in the water whether we like it or not? I think it’s better if we fight in this relaxed state rather than being forced out.”

“I see!”

Basil immediately understood what Cha Jun Sung was saying.

He intends on experiencing the underwater world in advance just in case. It’s a fitting thought for him.

“What about support?”

“It’s fine.”

Strategist brought up support in worry after listening to Cha Jun Sung and Strategist talk.

Support?

They don’t need it.

They don’t need support for a mere level 7.

They already made their battlesuits specialized for underwater activity. There was no need to change the configuration method. They just adjusted it to withstand water pressure and to allow Lifers to breathe underwater.

“We’ll be able to see the difference between our battlesuits during battle in water and on land.”

Cha Jun Sung, who can freely adjust his Overbooster, has the confidence to fight better than any other Lifer.

Boom!

The Albatrus’ hatch opened, and Cha Jun Sung ran out.

The Lifers who had been spending their days bored with nothing to do, heard of Cha Jun Sung suddenly jumping out of the ship, stopped whatever they were doing, and focused on the screens.

Guest rooms, waiting rooms, headquarters, support headquarters.

They were all in different locations.

“It’ll be a good spectacle... The chance to see what a level S Lifer can do.”

Weapon Master spoke in a low voice while leaning against a wall with his arms crossed.

He had been resting in a guest room when he had gotten a radio from Strategist and made his way back to headquarters.

If he wants to examine Cha Jun Sung’s movement in detail, he needs to watch on a mirror image and not a normal screen.

Other Rankers had the same thought.

Park Jin Hyuk and Kyoko also appeared from their hiding place.

‘Ollaborke, you were smart.’

The Rankers know better than anyone why Strategist included Cha Jun Sung in the World Federation’s creation of the Albatrus.

To get 10 billion points in support?

That’s too much for a single Ranker to take on, but that wasn’t the reason. If they can’t do it alone, they need to do it in numbers.

It means that they can’t include him by force.

Strategist wasn’t looking for points. He wanted Cha Jun Sung’s situation and power.

Lifers who had advanced to level A were thirsty for level A missions.

If they hadn’t gotten the Albatrus drawings, they would have made their target level 8s living on the six continents with the Rankers’ experience.

They had put their lives on the line for level B advancement, too.

Making an attempt at level A in that state is a suicide mission.

This is where Cha Jun Sung comes in.

He’s the only lifer who has gotten through a level A mission alone.

But they hadn’t been able to get in contact with him.

If Rankers assist him with him at the center, they could get through a level A easily.

While discussing matters related to level A, Strategist got the drawings for Albatrus. Their path had been cleared.

The Rankers thought that it wouldn’t be possible with their own abilities, so they would get the help of machines.

They can take on a level 8 with the Albatrus’ abilities.

That’s when they had been able to reach Cha Jun Sung.

Strategist thought that they would be able to complete a level A advancement if they had the strength of Albatrus and Cha Jun Sung.

A picture of everyone being satisfied was drawn out in Strategist’s mind.

Then they got in contact with Cha Jun Sung, baited him with advancement, and succeeded.

‘It probably means that level A advancement is hard even for Overload with his abilities.’

Though they are the same level, an ordinary mission and advancement mission are completely different.

If he could do it with his own party, there would have been no reason for him to accept this.

The fact that he accepted Deep-Sea Teeth is proof that Cha Jun Sung wants the World Federation’s help as well.

Cha Jun Sung’s party and the World Federation work well together like gears, so they are doing what they can do now.

‘Blood is... It was unexpected...’

When they heard that Cha Jun Sung’s blood was the key to immunity for body modification, they thought that he was crazy.

Except for a few, they completed stage 8 of body modifications and became total level A Lifers.

Even they however, could not work up the courage to fight one-on-one against high level mutants.

They aren’t as well practiced in using the booster as Cha Jun Sung is, but there are a lot of other things that hold them back as well. But one of the two hidden cards in this level A mission, Cha Jun Sung, scrambled to face the level 7 Penomina himself.

Though they tried not to show interest, it couldn’t be helped.

‘Show us what you can do.’

Weapon Master’s eyes take in Cha Jun Sung’s form, who is showing in the mirror image.

He won’t miss the movement of even a single finger.
