Volume 6 / Chapter 147

Editor: Stealth

Italy is on the verge of chaos. There were already clear signs of destruction as the world collapsed, but this is confined to humans.

It was a time for mutants to lay down a foundation just as humans developed from ancient times. And who knows? They might rebuild the world.

In this flow, mutants in Italy were living peacefully in their respective areas. That was until a demon full of madness appeared.

The demon that appeared out of nowhere destroyed, killed, and ate everything that was in its way. It was only quiet while resting.

It only took a few days for it to destroy an entire area.

It ran amuck like this for several months. It did not tire and only became worse. It is basically a natural disaster.

Beholder rolls a yellow eyeball. In front of him is the wreckage of what looks like a skyscraper.

"The first impact was the big hit, but the attack was divided as it walked through it."

"Mutating?"

"This isn't just a normal mutation. It's a whole body mutation. Hee hee!"

Beholder responded to Medusa's question with confidence. His eye has the ability to see what other beings cannot.

He figured out that Cha Jun Sung is a mutant that can change at will just by looking at the wreckage, and that he can change his entire body.

The ability to mutate is an ability that varies in value by the beholder, whether it is seen as common or valuable. Nothing can imitate it unless it is at the highest level.

There is a difference between whole body and body part mutation. One can change the entire body at will in the former, and the latter means that only parts - like the arms or legs - are changeable.

"How many mutants are there that can do this?"

"There can't be over 5 in all of levels 1 through 9. And since it's a level 8, there can only be Red Eye. I want to hurry up and meet him so I can see what he's like."

"Just find him."

"Hmph!"

Beholder raised his hand. Hundreds of eyes the size of millets popped up.

They split into hundreds and thousands like cell division to be implemented in various ways like searching for a target or surveillance.

"Spread out. Relay everything you see to me."

Beholder shook his hand. The eyes that had been bunched together flew with the wind. They have a kind of telepathic ability that works within a radius of hundreds of kilometers.

They know what lives in Italy, so it will only be a matter of time before they find what they are looking for.

A sharp blade goes through a tunnel rat's chin. There were a lot but he killed all of them. There is no fun in killing them because they are low level.

Cha Jun Sung's tail wraps around a tunnel rat and absorbs it whole.

Though he gained a stamina that does not tire when he became a mutant, it is not infinite. Since he is a living being, he needs to supplement as much as he uses. He fortunately has not faced a strong enemy yet, so he has not been wounded yet.

If he gets wounded, the balance gets out of hand because he needs to pay attention to recovering the injury in addition to physical stamina. It is difficult to expect smooth flow.

Cha Jun Sung likes the tunnel. Not the tunnel itself but the environment - he likes the dark. This is in the Oriax's nature, not his own.

Darkness is black like the Oriax. This environment provides him with a protective color without having to do anything, so this feels like his nest.

Cha Jun Sung laid down anywhere and closed his eyes. He does not run around like crazy all 365 days of the year. The only time he is quiet is when he is resting.

Though it looks like he is sleeping but is not very different from usual because he leaves his senses open to capture external dynamics. It is better to say he is recovering psychological stability.

Wing wing!

Several hours after Cha Jun Sung stops moving in the cave.

He can hear the weak sound of bees flying around. It is bothersome and he pretends he does not hear it. It is because he does not feel hostility. He just thought of them as annoying bugs that would wander around and then leave.

But they stopped in one place at one point and floated. Cha Jun Sung left them to stay floating or wander, but suddenly felt unpleasant. It feels like those bugs are watching him.

He compresses a finger to be thin like a needle and stabs the bug to bring it in front of him. He wants to see closely what kind of bug it is.

An eye? Black dots are all over a hazy gray marble embedded with veins. These dots blink as though they are alive.

Cha Jun Sung swells the needle like a chestnut bur and makes dozens of holes in the eye. By instinct, it does not feel like an autonomous creature. The inside becomes quiet. This did not happen again even though time passed. Cha Jun Sung is satisfied and rests in peace and comfort.

Beholder focused while standing in one place and laughed as he opened his eye.

A few weeks had passed since he arrived in Italy. He searched for the new mutant Inferno mentioned in that time, and discovered it not too long ago.

"Kik kik! It is Italy, but it's pretty far."

"Where?"

"Rome."

Cha Jun Sung had gone south from Firenze to Rome. It had not been easy to get a sensory circle of the country even though Beholder had sent his eyes. Doing the country in its entirety was impossible, so he had to separate it into parts.

Beholder frowned. He knows why and the irrelevant Medusa has a rough guess.

"The nerve! He killed my eye!"

"It should have fallen back if it saw him."

He felt the pain that the piece of him felt from Cha Jun Sung. They have an indirect connection, so the main body is affected when an issue arises with a part.

"I don't know. I'll need to scold it until it's right before death!"

Beholder has taken a hit, but he is being sensitive with something that is not a big deal. Medusa left him alone because she knows his personality well.

From her point of view, Beholder is like a child. He has uncensored emotional ups and downs. He is good-natured at times and evil at others.

His real self of those…..

'SE Beholder.'

He is sneaky and evil. The way that mutants think cannot be the same as with humans because their law and order is the struggle for survival. They think nothing of others' lives and do whatever it takes to achieve what they want. In these ways, Medusa and Beholder are the same.

"What does it look like?"

"Look like? Like this?"

Tentacles as long and thin as hair draw what Cha Jun Sung looks like on the concrete ground. It is smooth like a knife cutting through tofu. There is no way to be sure of its behavior, but it is a level 8 in ability.

Medusa has a strange expression after seeing Beholder's drawing. Because it is drawn well? No. The image in the drawing is strangely familiar.

"Red Eye?"

"What are you talking about?"

"I guess you won't know since you've never seen him. This drawing looks like Asia's Red Eye. There are differences in the small details… but they're the same overall."

"Kik kik! Then is he a brother or something?"

"No. He would be the Black Demon's son if he's a brother, but he wouldn't be here."

Black Demon lives in Korea. Could it have come from Asia to Europe to run wild in Italy? That is nonsense. Say that by chance, it came all the way here. Would Black Demon let his son run wild? If he left him alone, Red Eye would get involved.

They only look alike on the outside, and the new mutant is an entirely different creature from them.

"It'll take a few days."

"Hurry hurry!"

Beholder urges Medusa. He gathered and sent his eyes in a line to the place where he discovered Cha Jun Sung. With this, there is no reason for them to stray off path.

  

Volume 6 / Chapter 148

Editor: Stealth

Cha Jun Sung roars with his chest puffed out in the middle of the city. How much time has passed since this crazed version of himself has lived inside the mission?

He will not know even if he comes to his senses. He needs to meet another Lifer or his PDA in order to regain his lost time or go back to reality. If he continues in this state, it is questionable whether that day will ever come.

If he meets Lifers like this, he will annihilate all of them,much less hold a conversation. Is there really a way to go back?

"Hee hee! It's him!"

"That's the right level. We need to fight to know, but its physical ability should be superior."

On top of a tall building.

Beholder and Medusa exchange their impressions of seeing Cha Jun Sung with their own eyes. Judging only by physical ability, they will be overpowered.

Beholder's fighting power is a low level 7. Instead, he has various abilities and the one he uses most is mind control.

He can even take on two level 7s. This envious ability is something that all Lifers and mutants are averse to in all ways.

"Will it be possible to talk to him?"

"Kik! He seems to have gone a bit severely insane, but I'll try."

He is not saying that he will face him. Beholder will go inside Cha Jun Sung through mind control to talk to his sane thoughts.

Medusa waits next to him. If something goes wrong and he fails, she needs to interfere and block Cha Jun Sung. It is good if everything goes smoothly, but there is nothing to lose in this going badly.

She licks her lips with her long tongue. The snakes on her head also flick their tongues. She likes fighting. She likes the negative atmosphere of it even more. She wants to rip his skin and see his tender insides. Like minds gather together. Like Beholder, Medusa is not completely sane.

'Huh?'

While Medusa was lost in her imagination, Beholder used telepathy to go into Cha Jun Sung's mind. As they are at the same level, his defenses are strong.

But he falls a little short of those at the same level. If they are 10, he is at around 7 or 8? He did not think much about it because it is not important.

[Get out of my body!]

[This is mine.]

[Huh? There's one body, but 2 minds? Who's who?]

There are 2 minds. The 2 are fighting over one body.

He has gone into the minds of countless humans and mutants, but this is the first time he is seeing something like this. Beholder became curious.

[Hee hee! Are there 3 if I get in there too? If I win, is this mine?]

He cannot go into the body, but he would be able to control it like a limb. This is normally not something he is able to do, but it might be possible when it is in such a messy state.

[Hey hey.]

There is no response even if he speaks. Is this the reason why the mental defenses were low?

[Ki ki ki!]

Beholder instinctively goes into the mind. They are so busy fighting among themselves that they do not realize an enemy has intruded. This is probably what fish in troubled waters means.

He went into various places and gained information on the new mutant and Cha Jun Sung. The more he learns, the more surprising it is and the more mysterious Cha Jun Sung becomes.

[How strange for an Oriax to take a human as its host. Huh? There are levels to us, too. What level am I? Let's see…… Level 8?]

[Life Mission? Game? Earth? Helper? This human killed Evil Queen? The whore in South America? He met Red Eye inside a mission?]

[We're inside a mission right now? It isn't Earth? I don't understand.]

Beholder is confused. Is this all true? He cannot describe the mental state of this human, Cha Jun Sung.

He moved past this question however. He can do the understanding later. First, he needs to kick the fighting minds out and make this body into one of his limbs. He could become at the same level as Inferno if he makes a level 8 into his limb.

[But what's that?]

While he was slowly getting involved in the fight, something caught Beholder's attention. It does not have a clear form like other information. It is transparent and hazy.

This means that this is something Cha Jun Sung does not know either. Beholder thought.

'Should I open it?'

He can do it after taking over the mind, but he is curious. Beholder cannot restrain himself when he is curious. Looking at the situation, there should be no problem from opening it.

Beholder opens the hazy thing. Is it something fun? He opened it with great expectations, but it did not meet up to his hopes.

[Ugh!]

His mind is being pushed out. He is forced out by a power that came in like a typhoon. He would not have opened it if he knew that this would happen.

"It didn't go well?"

"Huh? Hee hee! He's just crazy. He's a crazy bastard. Let's knock him out and take him."

Beholder hid his mistake. She cannot know unless he says it himself anyway. And all they have to do is take him back.

Kung!

Cha Jun Sung's body twists. There is no big change externally, but he seems to have become more refined. He had already been perfect physically, but he is now transcending that perfection.

"What did you touch in there?"

Medusa gulped as she saw the goosebumps forming on her skin. She is feeling fear for the 3rd time in her life. The first was when she saw the Empress for the first time, and the 2nd was when she saw Africa's disaster.

Cha Jun Sung finishes changing and breathes out. Black smoke comes out when he breathes.

"Black… Smoke?"

"This doesn't make sense! How could he be here? I checked!"

All top level mutants that succeeded in evolution as individuals have a characteristic that distinguishes them from other mutants.

Beholder is his body and Medusa is the snakes on her head. They do not know how Cha Jun Sung is breathing black smoke, but that is the trademark of Black Demon Aduroque, who is dominating Asia.

Cha Jun Sung's eye goes around and finds the exact location of Beholder and Medusa's hiding place. He still feels the madness, but it feels stable.

"Who… it is?"

Cha Jun Sung has not been able to use human language since he lost his sanity. But now, he is unsteadily asking about the identity of the foreign beings. It is a great development.

"Fall back and support me."

"I promise! He isn't Black Demon!"

Medusa had been in human form but woke up her original state and released her strength. Her slender feminine body becomes covered in muscles and she grows to be 5 meters.

Other than the fact that her hair is made of snakes, she is still beautiful, but her legs combined and changed into a snake's tail.

Medusa pulled her neck bone with strength. Then, a spear made of bone 8 meters long was curiously formed. A clear liquid dripped from the handle, and it is poison that could kill a level 6 mutant just by touching it.

Cha Jun Sung had made his way to Medusa, made both of his arms into blades, and brought them down.

Medusa was going to avoid it, but blocked it thinking that they should meet for the first time.

Boom!

Though they are mutants, it must still be flesh colliding, but the sound it made is comparable to a mission exploding. The shockwave generated from the center of the crash shattered all of the windows within radius.

Bang bang bang!

Cha Jun Sung had leveraged himself to float in the air but bounced back because of the shock, and Medusa plummeted down when the ground collapsed under her.

When there isn't much of a difference in ability in a fight, it is better to be attacking from above than it is to be below. Medusa reaped damages in this crash, but this is it. She is alive. She came out with not even a scratch.
