  ‘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 pissed.”


  [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.
