Life Mission

“I have a question. Will you answer it?”

“...”

Cha Jun Sung’s silence was consistent.

It is important for him to find a weak spot somehow and get away. It isn’t good to drag out the fight over a long period of time.

“You’re on the same side as those dead guys over there, right? Why have you come here?”

Cha Jun Sung felt something strangely familiar.

The mutant has an unusual form. He is sure this is the first time he is seeing it, but he feels like he’s seen it before.

“If you tell me, I’ll let you live. I promise. Honestly, I don’t really care about killing you guys. You live and I get my question answered. Isn’t that a good deal?”

Her tone is gentle as though comforting a child, but aso heavy.

Cha Jun Sung spoke as if he had nothing to lose.

“Evil Queen?”

“You know me?”

Evil Queen blinks her bizarre looking pupils and looks at Cha Jun Sung.

Her expression shows surprise of ‘How does he know?’

“You know me? Now I know. I knew you guys were looking for something. Who is that? So you guys were looking for me?”

Evil Queen fell into a misunderstanding from Cha Jun Sung’s question.

She thinks Lifers are looking for her. It is half true but also half wrong. World Federation is looking for Bon Load, not Evil Queen.

It is just that since she is Bon Load’s container, it is true in the end.

“Was what I killed in South America a shell?”

“Wow! I guess it’s really true. I put 50% of my strength into it. Well, I guess you guys have gotten pretty strong too, so you guys should be able to catch it if you swarm in together.”

“Don’t kid yourself. I killed it alone.”

“Really? Then my alter cut that arm off?”

“Yeah.”

Evil Queen laughs in excitement.

There isn’t much that interests mutants at her level. It is because they have become numb. It was a pity that her limb had died, but that had led her to meet this Lifer, Cha Jun Sung.

Why?

He stirs her interest.

“I killed your daughters too.”

“All of them?”

“Your second oldest who went into a second awakening was a little difficult, but she died too.”

Cha Jun Sung spoke as if he had done all of it.

Evil Queen doesn’t know anything anyway. She doesn’t have the ability to tell whether he is telling the truth or lying.

“So it’s true.”

Evil Queen and Bon Load are the only ones that know about Vanessa’s second awakening. He can only be saying that because he saw it before he killed her.

“Then did you kill the three brothers as well?”

“Three brothers?”

As soon as Evil Queen woke up, she had looked for the three brothers.

She can take care of everything on her own, but she wants to avoid the bothersome things. But they weren’t there. All traces of the three brothers had disappeared long ago.

Cha Jun Sung found the meaning hidden in her short question.

Three Evil Bones.

It is the mission he completed with World Federation before coming back to the past.

“If I did?”

“You killed all seven? I guess that’s possible if you killed my alter and Vanessa.”

Evil Queen made her tentacles rigid and spread them wide like a fan.

She had awakened both arms. She intends on using a little strength.

“It’s not your usual form.”

“This?”

Evil Queen looks at her body. Cha Jun Sung wants to know what Evil Queen went through here. She is way too different.

“I became one with my darling.”

“One?”

Papapat!

Hundreds of tentacles soar toward Cha Jun Sung. He avoided the attack moving back and forth freely with the Overbooster as though he had expected this.

Of course Evil Queen won’t keep her promise. That’s the kind of bitch she is.

‘I’ll kill you.’

Honestly, it doesn’t feel like he can kill her, but he intends on injuring her as much as possible. That’s the goal. He has no lingering attachments nor regrets toward life.

“Force 866, annihilating confirmed.”

“The last coordinates they sent?”

“122.675.22. point.”

Beep beep.

Weapon Master enters the coordinates in his PDA.

It is an area with a Universe Eye installed. He is going to get a gauge on the situation before adding in troops.

“I can see it.”

“That’s appalling.”

A Hundred Eye goes into the forest and films.

It is the worst.

They have been hit so hard that they don’t even have recognizable forms.

Bang bang bang bang!

Roaring heard through the Hundred Eye.

They aren’t outbursts or explosions. It is the sound of something colliding.

Did a Lifer survive?

Weapon Master steered the Hundred Eye toward the sound. Two objects keep colliding and moving away from each other. He got closer.

“White Ghost.”

This is the name that World Federation had given this new mutant. They call her White Ghost because there isn’t anything in particular to call her. That White Ghost and a Lifer are fighting.

There is no support.

How could there be support when the entire force has been annihilated?

“He’s not a Federation Lifer.”

He is clean without any superfluity. He doesn’t get pushed back even while going up one-on-one against White Ghost, who has killed thousands of Lifers.

But it doesn’t look good. White Ghost has gone through partial awakening, but she hasn’t completely awakened. They can’t tell where she came from and it’s incredibly bothersome.

“Huh?”

“You too?”

Park Jin Hyuk points at the Lifer fighting White Ghost.

Next to him, Koharu meets the eyes of each party member in turn. The battlesuit he is wearing to the type of weapon he is using. That is Hades. Overbooster.

Cha Jun Sung.

“It’s Jun Sung!”

“Now that you say that...”

“It’s Overload.”

The Rankers discuss. It is Cha Jun Sung in their eyes as well. That is a fight between Overload and White Ghost.

“That mutant – how strong is it? I’m sure that’s a level 9.”

Cha Jun Sung, the first level S Lifer.

After he was infected by a mutant inside a mission, he gained a different strength from other Lifers.

Could it be because of that unique point?

He can take on any two of Weapon Master, Chamma Sword, and Empress of Light at the same time.

The strongest of all Lifers can’t establish dominance over a mutant that has only gone into partial awakening. That is a level 9.

“His left arm doesn’t move.”

Weapon Master discovered something strange after watching Cha Jun Sung’s actions carefully. His left arm doesn’t move.

It looks like he is wearing clothes but only one arm looks natural.

It looks unnatural.

According to his extensive experience, that’s what happens when a Lifer with an arm cut off is wearing a battlesuit.

“It was cut off before he started fighting White Ghost.”

If it had been cut off while fighting, the entire part should have been cut off. He is sure that Cha Jun Sung is fighting with one arm.

“We need to help him!”

Papat!

Park Jin Hyuk began to move.

It is poisonous to act alone while living in a group, but he can’t just sit back and watch this video. As soon as Park Jin Hyuk began to move, Koharu, Basil, and Violet followed him.

“I thought Overload said he couldn’t go into missions beyond level A?”

There wasn’t a clear answer to Strategist’s question. They just don’t know. Logic doesn’t make sense in Life Mission.

“Decide.”

Weapon Master’s one word.

They wouldn’t try to go rescue an ordinary Lifer, but it is Cha Jun Sung.

He is worth going to save even if it is difficult and they might need to sacrifice thousands of people.

“If we save Overload, there will be 4 level S Lifers on our side. It’s early, but we need to face it head on if we can’t avoid fighting with White Ghost.”

If they drag out time and are taken apart one by one, they will lose even a fight that they could win. Weapon Master is appealing to that aspect.

“I agree.”

Chamma Sword had been sitting quietly, and took Weapon Master’s side. Even if they go, it doesn’t mean that they have to fight with White Ghost.

White Ghost could get away, or they could get away. No matter how great a mutant, it can’t act so freely in front of 100,000 people.

“Only those beyond 8 combinations will go.”

Rankers save the coordinates in their PDAs. The direction they need to go in as well as the distance are marked. Strategist ordered for only the Lifers beyond 8 combination to go in.

The few elite are going to take on one mutant. It could actually be more uncomfortable to fight if they all go swarming in. there would be a lot of people but limited space to attack.

It is better to increase mobility than to get tangled up.

“I’m nervous.”

“Let’s go.”
