Narsiel waves her hand blade horizontally. She is aiming for Cha Jun Sung"s neck and chest. Even if she gets him, she couldn"t kill him with one blow. Cha Jun Sung maximized his armor"s strength, and he is maintaining the energy barrier. The Overmode is in 70% activation.
Cha Jun Sung ducked to avoid the attack, and shot up to the sky with his Overbooster. He flew up about 20m before reversing the booster and falling again. He is holding Hades behind his back with both arms, and its booster turns on.
Diversion. His target is Narsiel, who is slower than Vanessa. He is so fast that he thought he would be able to get in a knife wound.
Hades cut through 4 of Narsiel"s 12 arms. If he just cuts through a little more, it looks like he could cut through the remaining 2 as well.
A sharp attack. A sharp thorn with a white base pierces through the energy barrier. Fortunately, he slowed down and avoided it on time.
The bone attack is a characteristic of hers, not something she got from Evil Queen. It is just a snippet, so there is no way to know what it is.
Tatat!
As soon as Cha Jun Sung avoided the thorn, the exhaust stopped and distance formed between them.
He almost ran into trouble by trying to go for flesh and bones from the beginning of their battle. Those two want his life, not his flesh. So they take gains and retreat without being greedy. It is not a situation where he can end it with one blow like with Odelia.
"You have the ability to kill Odelia."
"The one who went to Evil Queen is stronger than me. Whatever. We"ll just die together."
Cha Jun Sung provokes Narsiel and Vanessa. It only half worked. They are worried about their mother, Evil Queen, but they also believe in her. Just as Red Eye thinks of Black Demon as a G.o.d, Narsiel and Vanessa see Evil Queen as a mountain that will not bow to anyone.
"Does it not work? Vanessa is worrying. She won"t show her strength."
Vanessa does not come to the front, and only supports her sister. Narsiel is the power. Her battle style and patterns are generally the same as in the virtual version. But just because he knows her patterns does not mean something strong becomes weak, so it would have taken more time than with Odelia even if they had been fighting one-on-one.
She has the power of a lion resembling 4-legged beast, but she has 12 arms that act as legs. Level 8s are all unique in appearance.
Vanessa is a little over 5m tall. A gray hide covers her body as if a female body is wearing tights. Her face is bizarre, but it is bearable to look at. Her sharp arms and legs are bent like scythes, and are her main means of attack.
Cha Jun Sung stays alert with Hades, and skims Vanessa. She has awakened. Being awakened means that there will be no further changes to her physical appearance.
He was unsure of the source of the hidden strength, but he can guess.
Either she becomes firm in order to block the opponent"s attack, or she becomes so fast the opponent cannot see her, or she becomes so sharp she can pierce through barriers.
A triplex is the most important thing to a mutant.
Cha Jun Sung did not activate his Overmode 100% either. It does not seem like Vanessa will overcome the Overmode, but there is a way if she does happen to get over it.
Becoming a mutant on Narsiel"s mutation. He does not know how much Odin figured out, but he will reveal everything if he is wrong. The power being consumed now is overwhelmingly high. Cha Jun Sung"s power is just from maintaining the human body while strengthening it.
Even if he loses to Narsiel and Vanessa in this state, it is just his sh.e.l.l that has lost and not his person. He will hide as much as his enemy hides.
Woong!
"Human. You know what that is, right?"
"I don"t know. I wouldn"t tell you even if I did, so don"t ask me you b.a.s.t.a.r.d."
The Heavy Gravity crying loudly in the sky. Odin said that it is not a weapon that can be summoned for long, but it has already been over 5 hours.
He does not know if the gravity field is still in effect. He has not tried to escape the battle region and he has not tried to attack the Heavy Gravity.
He cannot pay attention to something else when he has two powerful level 8s in front of him.
Odin left the battle to Cha Jun Sung and searched for a way to break through this situation. They are both doing their best in their respective fields.
"Why is this guy so quiet? He hasn"t spoken for months now."
He is talking about the other ent.i.ty, the Oriax. Recently, ever since he met Black Demon, the Oriax began to talk less and one day just disappeared.
He won"t respond even when Cha Jun Sung tries to reach out. If there was a problem in his body, the Oriax could just communicate what it is but he is just quiet.
The more surprising thing is that Cha Jun Sung is gradually forgetting about the Oriax. He does look for the Oriax, but it feels like it"d be okay even if the Oriax isn"t there when he"s looking for it.
Truthfully, he had regained control over his own body while the Oriax is a gate crasher that b.u.t.t in one day, a mutant.
If the Oriax disappears for whatever reason, Cha Jun Sung will go back to normal when he was a normal person with one personality and body. The only thing that bothered him a little was that he cannot become a human if the Oriax does not separate itself. He does not know how to separate it on his own.
These days however, he has the thought that it isn"t so bad to live as a mutant either. There are no disadvantages. There are only advantages. He is starting to take on the personality of a mutant without realizing it.
The kind of personality to see something to an end once it is started. If Black Demon is another version of himself existing in this world, doesn"t that mean that he himself could become level 9 as well?
Cha Jun Sung grazes the ground with Hades. The resting period is over. He has no intention on running away anyway, but he can"t do so as long as the Heavy Gravity is here.
Click!
Hundreds of cameras on the Heavy Gravity either filmed or took pictures of the battle between Cha Jun Sung and level 8s.
The filming has been going on since the beginning of battle until now, even though half a day has pa.s.sed.
A crack similar to the one that formed when the Heavy Gravity was first summoned is forming behind it. It is still small, but it is getting bigger.
It lasted longer than Odin had calculated, but it was proof that it was reaching the limit of its summon time. The gravity field nearby blinks.
That was not the only change. The gravity field seen at a wider range is fading. Cha Jun Sung and Narsiel"s group did not know this.
Boom boom boom!
Cha Jun Sung approached Vanessa and head b.u.t.ts her. She is twice as big as he is, but the battlesuit flung her away. Vanessa"s body gets buried deep in a building. Cha Jun Sung turns on the Overbooster and follows her. His speed is faster than flying.
Bang bang!
Narsiel smashes the building. She cannot go in because she is so large. Cha Jun Sung attacked again while Vanessa was trying to regain her balance. This is his chance. Vanessa has been separated from Narsiel. Just attack? He uses all power. A thunderous sound comes from his battlesuit.
"This is something a little different, since it"s an attack to make sure I kill you."
The entire Overbooster turns on. His body twists and is about to lose control. It is not a skill that Cha Jun Sung can maintain consistently. If he mistakes the booster output by even 0.1%, it becomes impossible for him to stand. He needs to gear everything to keep balance in focus.
Cha Jun Sung"s best one-shot attack is drawing his sword. It can deliver a deathblow with a burst from the booster. What if he could do this dozens, hundreds of times?
The air is divided. Once? It is hundreds of times. Vanessa"s eyes open wide because of the chilling wind pressure created from Cha Jun Sung and Hades.
This is completely different attack from what she had seen so far. As mentioned before, it is an attack meant to kill no matter what. What should she do? She needs to find a way to survive.
"I"m too slow to avoid it. My sh.e.l.l won"t be able to withstand it to block it."
Narsiel is entering late from outside, but she is a few beats too late. Her eerie enemy"s teeth will arrive first.
Cha Jun Sung"s face is covered by his helmet, but he does not doubt his victory.
The battlesuit"s energy is at 30%. It was a difficult fight. He knew Vanessa is hiding her strength, but he can just kill her before she uses it. If he kills Vanessa now and then kills Narsiel who will be left alone, he can just barely block his battlesuit"s blackout.
Vanessa"s body is cut up into pieces. Her arm, her leg, her body.
"Ugh! You"re, you"re the third."
"What is?"
"Seeing… Seeing my other face!"
Bang bang!
