Chapter 175: TQC Code (2)
The naked woman was so beautiful that she would cause anyone to exclaim once they saw her, but Chun Yeowun’s expression didn’t change one bit.
Rather, she was the only person who was concerned about the situation, as she was on the ground using her long hair to cover her chest out of shame.
“L-Lord!”
Hu Bong, who was halfway stuck in a wall, called for Chun Yeowun’s help. At the sight, Baekgi shook his head and said,
“Stop playing around and come out.”
“Hehe.”
Crack!
Hu Bong chuckled and then broke the shower room wall as he came out. Hu Bong, who possessed enough agility to easily break through the steel, was just fooling around by acting stuck in the bricks of the walls.
‘Hm.’
Chun Yeowun looked around. He was definitely where the coordinates were pointing, but he never expected to appear in a shower room. The problem wasn’t the location, but rather how TQC code was hidden.
‘That?’
Chun Yeowun’s eyes were gleaming as he held out his hand to pull in the mask next to the Bluetooth speaker.
The letter C was engraved on the surface of the mask.
“Ha!”
Chun Yeowun felt thrilled, as this was just what he was hoping for.
“You… seem to be one of the 10.”
‘!!!’
Hearing Chun Yeowun’s words, her face turned red as she no longer had anything to hide.
‘He knows who I am?’
Her true ident.i.ty was C, one of the ten executives; unlike the other executives who were replaceable, she was a key executive.
‘Chun Mu-seong!’
And in a few seconds, she managed to recognize the man’s ident.i.ty. She had never dreamed that he would ever come into her hidden base.
“You people seem to be using this place as a base.”
Chun Yeowun was feeling nervous: the presence of one of MS Group"s executives meant that the whereabouts of the item left behind by his descendant could be compromised.
“Lord Chun Ma.”
Mn Ran-yeong’s voice was full of worry, and Chun Yeowun looked at the C, who was on the ground. It seemed they all wanted to interrogate her to know exactly when MS Group began to settle at this location and if they had touched Chun Mu-seong"s item.
“Woman–”
It was then:
Kw.a.n.g! Kw.a.n.g!
The sound of something shattering with strong vibrations resonated throughout the building. When everyone looked toward the direction of the sound, the wall shattered and something flew at a great speed.
“Where does it think it"s coming to!”
Hu Bong quickly tried to block the foreign projectile with his sword,
Clank!
“What?”
Pak! Kw.a.n.g!
Hu Bong’s sword broke, causing his body to bounce back as it broke through a wall.
Kwakw.a.n.g!
“How dare you!”
Mun Ran-yeong, enraged at what she had just witnessed, hurried to move her husband away from any danger and unfolded a defense technique.
Papak!
‘!?’
Mun Ran-yeong’s eyes fluttered at the opponent, who didn’t seem to budge despite her using the best defense technique of her clan.
She wondered if some monster had appeared, but surprisingly a woman with unique colored clothes emerged.
“3rd Guest!”
C’s expression had brightened once she saw the woman; on the other hand, Mun Ran-yeong"s expression darkened.
‘What is this feeling?’
The feeling wasn’t her internal energy being blocked, but rather that of hitting a solid rock. Most people would suffer from internal injuries if they didn’t have an equal understanding of internal energy, but the defense technique didn’t seem to be working against this woman.
“I was curious about what kind of rats came, but I see it was just you.”
The woman in unique colored clothes, called the 3rd Guest, tried to swing her fist towards Mun Ran-yeong’s chest.
“Kuak!”
Mun Ran-yeong reflexively leaned back. At that moment, Baekgi moved in to kick the woman’s left ribs.
Pak!
‘!?’
Baekgi frowned. He always managed to keep up with Mun Ran-yeong, so he thought he had a chance against this woman, but his foot was hurt rather than the woman’s legs.
‘Why am I feeling this?’
Kicking the woman’s ribs felt like kicking a pillar made of some kind of steel with his bare feet.
“You… broke my leg?”
The 3rd Guest changed her path and decided to really break Baekgi’s leg, as it was still in the vicinity of her ribs, but Baekgi managed to react instantly.
Kwaang!
Her clenched fist had gone through the floor because Baekgi was able to pull out his leg at the last second. However, the moment her fist reached the ground, a crater was left in the ground; the 3rd Guest indeed held immense power.
‘What kind of power is that?’
There was no trace of any martial arts or internal energy from the woman. In fact, it seemed like her power didn’t come from internal energy but rather pure muscle strength, but it was hard to believe because her body didn’t show any noticeable muscle ma.s.s.
Phat!
Baekgi quickly extended his leg once more towards her chest and face, kicking 8 times in succession.
Papapak!
‘She isn’t even moving?’
Baekgi couldn’t hide his shock when his leg began to bleed with each kick while her body didn’t seem to be bothered by his relatively powerful attack.
“Haap!”
Woong!
Because the s.p.a.ce was very enclosed, Baekgi couldn’t exert much force and thus decided to change his tactics. He decided to wrap his feet and cover his leg with Invisible Energy.
Papapak!
The woman"s body was now being pushed back by the kicks that had their power amplified, but Baekgi wasn’t satisfied yet.
‘She could handle this too?’
It didn’t make any sense. Just who was this woman?
“You b.a.s.t.a.r.d!”
The woman was enraged at Baekgi for making her feel pain, so she tried to move when someone grabbed her body.
“That’s enough.”
It was Chun Yeowun.
‘Hm?’
Chun Yeowun, who held her, narrowed his eyes. He tried to seal her blood points right away, but that didn’t seem to work. He then realized:
‘No blood points?’
Humans should have blood points in the same spots in their bodies, but the woman’s body didn’t seem to have any. He was further confused when the woman said,
“Definitely different from what I heard.”
C shouted,
“If we don’t catch him, this sector is at risk, 3rd Guest.”
“I thought I wouldn’t have to deal with him, but I guess I can’t run from this ordeal.”
As soon as she said that, something amazing happened: a yellow light began to glow from her eyes right before a beam was shot from them.
Swoosh!
Chun Yeowun, who was. .h.i.t point blank, bounced back and flew through the wall.
Kwakwakw.a.n.g!
“Lord!”
Baekgi and Mun Ran-yeong shouted out of their concern for him. In the midst of the chaos, C grabbed a towel, wrapped her body with it, and put on her mask.
‘I’m glad Elena showed up.’
She fully trusted Elena, which was the true name of the 3rd Guest. Although she was called as a Guest, she was a superhuman within MS Group.
In other words, she transcended other human beings.
‘Strictly speaking, there is nothing human about her.’
Of course, she had come out of the Gate.
Since she had come out alone from the Gate, she would technically be labeled as a Special Ent.i.ty. Unlike the other three Guests, she couldn’t leave this place because she made a contract, but this was actually beneficial for MS.
Phat!
Elena ran towards Chun Yeowun with the rage of a frenzied rhinoceros, seeming like she wanted to crush his body.
Kwakwakw.a.n.g!
Pak!
As she dashed to kill him, Chun Yeowun stopped her while she was still moving. Elena, who looked at Chun Yeowun holding her, was shocked.
“You… you seem strong.”
Only a few people had even been strong enough to stop her, but Chun Yeowun didn’t even seem to have trouble doing so.
“Then try this!”
Since her hand was being restrained, Elena used her leg to kick Chun Yeowun’s neck.
Puck!
‘!?’
Her expression hardened; although she definitely hit his neck, she was surprised when the neck didn’t break and when Chun Yeowun didn’t even try to move.
“Are you done?”
“You… are you human?”
When it came to pure physical strength, Elena was considered a monster. However, after undergoing 5 bodily reconstructions, Chun Yeowun had already surpa.s.sed the limits of the human body and was now at the Void Master level, meaning that his internal energy surpa.s.sed that of the Spirit Beasts.
Elena smiled and said,
“Interesting. This is my first time seeing a human like you.”
‘She’s definitely not a human.’
Hearing her words, Chun Yeowun knew that she wasn’t human; her lack of blood points tipped him off, but he still looked for solid proof.
‘Well, it doesn’t matter.’
After all, he had seen so many non-humans that he developed a tolerance for them and didn’t show any surprise anymore.
Elena looked at him with excitement.
“Great. In this era, you, an earthling, and I, who have lived in a place with a gravitational strength 100 times that of Earth, shall compete to see who is the strongest of—”
Kw.a.n.g!
Before she could finish speaking, Chun Yeowun smashed her head with his fist.
Her neck was bent to the side by the fist that was infused with the unification of energy, causing her to collapse to the floor.
Even though her neck was bent, she still spoke,
“I was talking to you, coward!”
Chun Yeowun quickly closed the gap.
“Right, you talk a lot.”
While she was on her knees trying to get up, he used his knee to hit her in the stomach.
Kw.a.n.g!
“Ack!”
She normally didn’t feel pain from any physical blows, but this one was different; the unification of energy that focused all of the focused energy on one part of the body made her feel intense pain despite her strong body.
“Eik!”
She was angry that Chun Yeowun wasn"t giving her a chance to move, deciding to shoot another light beam from her eyes.
Swosh!
However, the s.p.a.ce between them where the beam should have traveled suddenly distorted when a black hole seemed to appear and suck in the yellow beam.
“What was that?”
“Did you think the same trick would work again?”
As soon as he said that, Chun Yeowun raised his fist again and slammed it into her stomach.
Bang!
“Ack!”
As a crater in the floor formed from the force, the two fell down again. While she was falling, the woman tried to move away from Chun Yeowun.
Pak!
Before she could go anywhere, Chun Yeowun quickly grabbed by her neck.
“Where are you going?”
“L-Let me go!”
Even though Chun Yeowun was falling as well, he was able to slap her in the face once again. However, her superhuman body allowed her to remain unharmed despite the force he had exerted.
“Uh, uh! Leee!”
Her mouth was mangled by the slap, slurring her p.r.o.nunciation. A normal human would have died from the impact, but this woman definitely wasn’t a human. In fact, her face turned back to normal right after and she didn’t show any signs of pain.
“You b.a.s.t.a.r.d! I will kill you!”
Elena’s face, which was back to normal spoke, normally. Chun Yeowun responded,
“You’re interesting. How much force should I use for you to feel a pain so unbearable you’ll be asking for death?”
‘!?’
Hearing those words, her eyes shuddered.
Kw.a.n.g! Kw.a.n.g! Kwakw.a.n.g!
The sounds of roaring created the atmosphere of an intense war. The vibrations were so strong that the tiles in the room were falling off. C, who felt the immense power, spoke to Chun Yeowun’s subordinates with a firm voice,
“Hear that sound? If you stop this now and surrender, I can guarantee your lives.”
In response, Hu Bong pointed his sword at her neck.
“What bulls.h.i.t!”
Baekgi snarled in a low voice. She wanted to run away while they were occupied with the fight happening below, but she couldn’t move because these three were too fast.
“This sector is my base and pride! It would be better to let go of the delusion that you can get out of here alive. Can’t you hear the sounds of their fight slowing down?”
As she said, the sounds of battling from below were slowing down, to which C smiled and continued.
“You must realize that the existence of Chun Ma that you believe so much is nothing more than a human when compared to the group with hidden pow–”
Thud!
Something appeared in front of her.
‘!!!’
C, who looked at what suddenly appeared, went stiff.
It was Elena, the 3rd Guest, whose face was a mess and whose arms and legs were both cut down, making her form hard to recognize.
“W-what is thi–”
Seeing her fl.u.s.tered reaction, Hu Bong smiled.
“It seems you’re the one who doesn’t understand. Hehe.”
