“Good – goodness!”
“It’s – it’s a monster.”
Levadan shows up in the mirror image.
The Lifers on board and Strategist who got information from Cha Jun Sung were able to see Levadan better than Cha Jun Sung could.
1255m in length and 100m in diameter. It looks like a dragon from some comic book or classic novel. That’s Sea God Levadan.
It is a legendary monster.
It has six pairs of horns on its head and looks like a reptile. But the moment they look at it, its eyes make them lose the will to battle.
The blue scales all over its entire body made the Lifers feel sick.
[Levadan! We finally found its location!]
All of the helpers including Uranos said similar words, in a similar tone at the same time as though it had been planned.
The Lifers are taken aback. They found the location?
Levadan wanders around thousands of meters deep into the sea.
Due to this, not even artificial intelligence can find it. It showed itself occasionally, but that was really rare.
It isn’t on land like other level 9s, so it is hard to find. But for whatever reason, it has appeared in front of the Lifers.
[We need to put a location tracking device on it.]
Uranos shows consciousness.
It falls out of Strategist’s will. But that doesn’t mean he acts however he wants to. One wrong move could mean annihilation.
[Uranos. Lifer Cha Jun Sung says that he will buy time for us to get away.]
[Odin. You must know as well, but this is the perfect opportunity to keep an eye on Levadan, who has been out of our reach. Do you understand what I’m saying?]
Odin agrees with this as well.
Levadan is elusive, popping up in the east and the west. That’s why they hadn’t been able to create missions related to it.
[Wait. It’s something that you all can’t do, so I’ll ask him what he thinks.]
Odin tries Cha Jun Sung.
He knows the secrets of Life Mission to an extent. Therefore, it is easy to explain when relaying sensitive issues.
Cha Jun Sung is half and half on installing a location tracking device. He’ll fight Levadan if he needs to, but he won’t provoke it first if he doesn’t have to.
[The authority is applying a special mission.]
[Level A advancement mission: Installation of a location tracking device]
– Goal: Attainment
– Description: Install a location tracking device on ruler of the broad sea, Sea God Levadan, and get out of the mission area!
– Reward: 10,000,000,000 points. Lucky box.
It isn’t a level S mission because he isn’t meant to fight.
But the reward for a level A advancement is 10 billion points. It is of an entirely different class. How many points would it have been if he were to kill it? It would be tens of billions of points.
“It’s dangerous to run away in the ocean. Uranos, operate floating mode.”
Floating mode. Albatrus is a submarine.
That means it is inefficient to put all the energy into the booster, but it can fly in the air for even a moment.
No matter how big and strong Levadan is, it cannot fly in the air without wings. He will soar into the air and return to Mechanic City.
“Let’s kill it with spiral swills. There’s no reason to keep saving it.”
“The opponent isn’t good.”
If they fire the spiral swills, it will use all of the ship’s energy. It takes time to fill it up as well. There’s no guarantee that they will hit and kill it. They can’t take the gamble.
Boom!
Albatrus’ booster tilts vertically and takes the ship 950m into the air.
Levadan isn’t showing any strange movements.
It isn’t here to fight. It has come out of pure curiosity.
The Lifers think differently.
They have a similar mindset as Cha Jun Sung. They won’t hit first if they aren’t provoked. This new phenomenon is interesting as well.
The Albatrus flies.
It goes up hundreds of meters, but they cannot be at ease even if they have gone several kilometers because of Levadan’s length and the breadth of its attack.
Levadan glares and looks over the bloody battlefield. Sharks are either floating or in pieces all over the place. Their king and queen and their baby are dead, too.
[Interesting.]
[Really?]
Levadan is talking to itself, but Cha Jun Sung responds.
Odin raised the volume on the voice amplifier. Cha Jun Sung’s sound becomes amplified by several times.
It is a conversation between mutants.
It is the principle of telepathy. The high and low tones of their growling with emotions mixed in, relay their messages.
[Are you the same race?]
[I’m a human… the same race.]
He isn’t talking about sea mutants. He’s talking about his nature.
Cha Jun Sung was going to say that he is human, but he just admitted it himself.
[This is the first time I’m seeing something like you. What is that? Is that a shell?]
[I guess you could say that.]
[Show your real self. Are you showing yourself to me with a shell?]
[I can’t live in the ocean. Without this, it’s hard for me to breathe.]
He needs to breathe on his own if he releases the battlesuit and awakens, but Cha Jun Sung is a land mutant, so he can’t act freely. He’ll have to swim since he won’t have a booster, and it will get pathetic. He probably won’t be able to show the power of a level 7 either.
[I understand.]
[Why did you come here?]
[I was on my way home when I smelled something sweet. I turned around and came here because I wanted to see what was going on.]
Oh! It seems Lifers’ blood lured Levadan as well. If they had known a level 9 would react, they would have reconsidered using blood as bait.
[Other guys were going to come to, but they decided not to when they realized I was coming. If they had come, you wouldn’t have been able to take them on with your tired body.]
It is fortunate that Levadan has no intention to fight them.
He is confident that he can run away, but he doesn’t know what damages there might be.
Vroom!
Cha Jun Sung looks up toward the sky.
Albatrus is returning. He is alone. If he returns, they will feel much more liberated.
[I’ll ask. What are you?]
[A hunter.]
[Hunter?]
[I live to hunt, to kill things like you. You’ll be hunted down by us one day too, though it won’t be easy.]
Levadan roars at the sudden provocation.
The sea shakes with sound waves ringing everywhere. It is laughing in disbelief, not in anger.
[Hah! Me? I’m the ruler. Nothing can take me on.]
Cha Jun Sung took out a machine the size of a fingernail, and went toward Levadan.
He is doing this because he knows that it doesn’t want to fight.
A weak sense.
It is similar to the proportion of a single grain of sand to a beach, but the Levadan is able to feel even the smallest changes in its body.
[If you keep this piece on you, hunters will go looking for you shortly. Take it off if you’re scared, and keep it on if you’re confident.]
It is a level 9.
It won’t reject him because of its pride.
[My day to day is boring. I’ll enjoy ripping and breaking those that try to challenge me as they did in the past.]
Cha Jun Sung went back again. In actuality, he wanted to hurry up and get away.
It is hard to even withstand Levadan’s energy. He is feeling the pressure he felt from Black Lord.
Considering the ocean as an environment, not even Black Lord would be able to beat Levadan in a fight here. No level 9s really.
[Even being in front of you is tiring. If you allow it, I want to go.]
[Those guys. Did you do that?]
[We combined our strength, but I was at the forefront. Why are you asking?]
Levadan gestures toward the Deep-Sea Teeth. It grows dark.
[Are you strong?]
[Here? In the sea?]
[Your nature itself.]
[Nature? I guess you could say I’m strong. But I can’t beat you.]
Cha Jun Sung didn’t show unnecessary pride.
Levadan has the temperament of Black Lord and Red Eye.
[Is that so? Fine. I won’t kill you. But prove it.]
Boom!
Levadan’s body compresses and shoots out like a spring. The attacks of giant species usually begin from their bodies.
Boom boom boom!
Cha Jun Sung went back as much as it came at him with his reverse booster.
However, the Levadan is much faster. A 1200m body can’t be ignored.
No matter how diligently an ant moves, it becomes meaningless next to a human step.
Its huge mouth with sharp teeth opens.
Its mouth is several times larger than that of the Deep-Sea Teeth. Cha Jun Sung didn’t avoid it first. The attack range is wide, so he can’t avoid it easily. If that’s the case, it’s better to wait and first figure out where it will attack.
‘It is a simple bodily attack pattern? It’s plenty strong just looking at this, but Lifers could catch it if they came in as a huge group.’
He doesn’t let down his guard. There’s no way a level 9 can only do this much.
The beyond level 7 sea mutant he has seen until now has skills other than bodily attacks like sucking in water pressure and shooting its breath.
If Levadan shoots that, it will show a power that is incomparable to that of its underlings. And he was too right.
Boom boom boom boom!
It is a long spear formed out of the water.
Levadan sucked in seawater, didn’t let it out all at once, but fired it little by little as though spitting.
The problem is that the spitting cycle goes four or five times per second. Each spear goes at supersonic speed.
The difficult situation continued.
Papapat!
Cha Jun Sung was busy avoiding them.
He isn’t avoiding them by seeing them with his eyes and hearing them with his ears. It is with his mutant instincts and immediate reactions of his battlesuit. The firing cycles get shorter and shorter. It is like a machine gun.
Cha Jun Sung hits away the water spears flying at him with Hades.
Incredible repulsive force.
He loses balance because his hands and feet are entangled.
A water spear collides with Cha Jun Sung’s chest. The energy barrier was the first to reduce the shock, and the battlesuit’s armor was the secondary measure to do so.
Even that isn’t enough, so he goes flying far away even with the water’s resistance.
‘I can’t use all of the battlesuit functions because there isn’t enough energy.’
He wasn’t able to go over his gear after battle. He can’t even use 50% power so as of now, he can’t respond to a simple attack.
Levadan goes soaring.
It is going for him while he is struggling to find balance again.
‘Damn it!’
Should he use the reverse booster to get away?
No.
It could be expecting this.
Then he will go in a direction that isn’t expected. Forward.
Cha Jun Sung goes to meet Levadan. There is embarrassment in Levadan’s eyes.
That small thing is thinking of taking him on?
Hades scrapes by Levadan’s eyes. Then he goes flying high. Levadan struggles in pain and glares up at Cha Jun Sung, who is looking down at it from the sky.
[I’ll let you go. This wound – I won’t heal it and I’ll just leave it. Did you say beings like you will come looking for me? I’ll welcome a challenge any time.]
[You have succeeded in placing a location tracking device on Levadan’s body. You have earned 10 billion reward points.]
He has already opened level S missions and the store, so this does not get replicated.
Only Cha Jun Sung got reward points for the location tracking device.
With this, the cumulative amount is 30 billion. He has gained the foundation to go into a level S mission.
Levadan dives into the sea.
It came here out of curiosity, but it was pretty fun. It came a long distance, but it had its worth.
“There’s really no way to know what’ll happen with this world.”
He entered a mission to advance, but hadn’t dreamed he would meet Levadan.
It is a variable.
If he had been weak, he would have been killed by this variable.
He needs to get stronger. If he wants to stay alive, he needs to get stronger.
Cha Jun Sung was deep in thought, and then went back to reality.
When Cha Jun Sung opened his eyes however, he wasn’t in reality, the briefing room, or Mechanic City, but in some random place he had never seen before.
