“Freezing field.”


Ice Queen’s battlesuit emits a chill that is almost at absolute zero.


The surrounding water freezes.


It is nearly on a scale of hundreds of meters. An ice island forms in the middle of the open sea.


The female Deep-Sea Teeth twists her giant body. The freezing field spreads like an epidemic and has an effect on the female’s body.


It has a power that would make most mutants below level 7 into ice statues, but it doesn’t have the same effect on level 8s.


The female’s movements grew slower as it continued to be exposed to the freezing field. Its muscles had stiffened from the chill.


“Buster blaze.”


“Chunmapo.”


Bang!


Boom Buster and Glare Gun combine the hand cannons they had in each hand into one. A beam comes out of a muzzle that is 1m in diameter.


The female’s body takes a hit from the beam and becomes dented. It is so big that it is impossible to create a wound with even a 9 combination offensive skill.


“Energy explosion.”


Nuclear concentrates the energy to his right hand.


Then a round, blue sphere as big as his head came up and compressed to the size of his fist.


It is a bomb.


It isn’t something he bought from the store.


It is a kind of energy ball that is created by grafting together the battlesuit’s energy and various techniques.


It’s power depends on the amount of energy that is poured into it. Maximum energy can topple a whole building.


Boom!


Nuclear’s energy ball enters the wound that is forming, and explodes. Large chunks of flesh scatter all over the ocean. Most of the Rankers battling the female are long-distance fighters. This is more advantageous because there isn’t anywhere to stand and fight.


Weapon Master, Chamma Sword, Dual Blade, Longines, Ghost Gun, Nile Tail, and Black Panther are fighting level 7s somewhere.


That doesn’t mean they can ignore close-range fighting.


The barrier needs to be firm so that those supporting from behind can feel at ease.


Han Chang Jin, who is wearing a battlesuit half times larger than those of other Rankers and even Cha Jun Sung’s, takes on the female’s attack.


The battlesuit’s surface is covered in silver metal. It is an iron defense characteristic with defense specialization of outer armor reinforcement.


Han Chang Jin put a thick chain through the female’s mouth and blocked it so it couldn’t dive.


It is impossible for him to do alone because of the difference in mass.


He placed a restriction on its movement like Ice Queen did so that the Rankers would be stuck to it and engage in a power contest as though fishing if it dives.


They got dragged that much, but the female didn’t create enough distance to run from the Rankers. She can’t abandon the baby.


There hadn’t been anything on the female’s back, but a deep cut formed near the dorsal fin and blood spilled out. Basil had approached in stealth mode.


The Rankers were well coordinated.


They used each of their abilities effectively, so they complemented each other’s disadvantages and maximized the advantages.


Each individual has their own clear characteristics, but it isn’t a mission that they can complete by doing well alone. It is a level A advancement. Park Jin Hyuk’s group refrained from personal behavior and increased power through team play. They were doing well without any problems until now.


Kyak!


“Oh. The Albatrus is getting pushed.”


The Deep-Sea Teeth called in too many sharks. It had already been long since the water near the Albatrus had been filled with the blood of sharks and Lifers.


Swarm of sharks got through the hail of bullets and submersibles barrier, aiming for the Albatrus that is being protected with a warrior barrier.


Due to the nature of the ship, it will be hard to handle if the battle gets into a second melee. Lifers take out their reinforced rifles and vibrating weapons, and dive.


There was no reason for them to get attacked when bringing on the long-distance attack, but the number of injured and dead is increasing as they take on the sharks.


‘Who do we need to take out?’


Strategist’s brain starts to turn. Ice Queen is optimal. If she wraps the Albatrus with a freezing field, it can endure the shark attack.


However, Ice Queen is the most important debuff Lifer in fighting against the Deep-Sea Teeth. Her role is as important as Han Chang Jin’s. Her presence decreased the Deep-Sea Teeth’s power by 20%.


‘It’ll take time for these people fighting against level 7s, so we need to take out at least 2 people.’


Strategist chose himself as one. They are fighting so well that he doesn’t need to orchestrate the battle. Who should the other person be?


“I’ll go.”


Kyoko appears in front of Strategist. She is least important of the 13 in battle. She has a greater role in support than in direct battle.


Strategist hadn’t thought of her because though she is a level A Lifer, her battlesuit has been renovated for medical technology.


“Jin Hyuk taught me how to shoot, so I’ll be able to hold my own.”


Kyoko takes a Diablo, a level A store sniper rifle, from her space compression bag. It has explosive power, so it is effective if used well.


“Alright. The two of us will go.”


“Okay!”


Park Jin Hyuk worried about Kyoko separating from himself, but he didn’t show it. As long as they have entered the mission, she needs to do her part as well.


Strategist and Kyoko retreat to support the Albatrus. The number of Lifers has visibly decreased. It seems at least 300 people have died.


The battle isn’t over. They can’t tell how many people will die going forward.


Bang!


Han Chang Jin gets hit with the female’s tail and goes flying.


He was flung with the fearsome power as if he were a pebble.


He went flying easily 500 to 600m.


The iron defense is protecting his body, but it is an attack weighing millions of tons. The impact will be big.


The female threw Han Chang Jin, and her next target is Ice Queen.


She had prioritized who to kill while fighting. These are the top two.


Boom boom boom!


Another hit with the tail. A tidal wave comes in.


Boom Buster and Glare Gun raise the hand cannon. All they have to do is vaporize or explode.


“Run!”


Nuclear yells.


Behind the wave, the 200m large female tries to jump into the Rankers.


Bang!


The weight isn’t convertible, but it presses the sea level and creates an incredible shockwave. A ripple will form even when a pebble is thrown into a calm lake.


The waves of the sea aren’t calm, but the aftermath is crazy.


“Is everyone okay?”


“We’re okay. This is insane. Overload taking a monster like that alone!”


Glare Gun spoke as though sick of it.


With Strategist and Kyoko out, there are 11 people. Those 11 people are battling one level 8.


“Why isn’t it coming out?”


It needs to come out if it went in, but it isn’t showing itself.


Did it leave the baby and run away?


That isn’t it.


Cha Jun Sung is still fighting with the male.


Park Jin Hyuk’s group and the Rankers went into the sky. Deep-Sea Teeth are big, so their shadows inevitably show if they are swimming near sea level.


“It’s coming.”


Something is coming up.


Is it the female?


They predict it to be the female.


Boom!


It is a giant water column. It is similar to the Turtle Babies that the Captain Turtles shot out. Half of the 11 people were swept under the water column.


Water pressure that can crush a battlesuit.


5 people couldn’t balance, and fall to the sea. From below, the female soars up with her mouth open.


Bang!


Someone flew toward the female’s face, and brought down a weapon. A wound deeper and wider than the weapon forms.


The female falls out of the direction of her attack from the pain on her face. Park Jin Hyuk’s group saw the person who helped them, and their faces brighten.


“Take the people who fell back, and reorganize. I’ll block her.”


It is Cha Jun Sung.


The battle against the male was very simple. He didn’t need to be calculating like he had been with Narsiel and Vanessa.


It is because he had lured it near sea level.


If he had been fighting deep in the sea where he needed to endure the water pressure, this wouldn’t have happened. Even the Albatrus was being pushed back.


The male had followed Cha Jun Sung, and shot a water cannon. It must be able to adjust the pressure, because it shot in spurts like a gun instead of shooting out in one long stream.


It might look tacky, but it has decent destructive power.


Each one could destroy a car.


‘Pattern input complete.’


Cha Jun Sung is sure.


As long as the Albatrus hangs on, he, Park Jin Hyuk’s group, and Rankers can take care of this. It won’t take a long time.


The male and female surround Cha Jun Sung from the front and back. He is relaxed.


“Idiots. Big guys like you aren’t suited for team play against small opponents like me.”


There is a lot that they occupy, but there isn’t much that they can attack.


They end up crashing whether they like it or not. On the other hand, there aren’t many places where they can hit Cha Jun Sung.


Those two huge bodies will get hit even if he shoots at them with his eyes closed.


“Environment is important too. Do you understand me?”


There is an unmistakable homeground advantage. Just as people can’t use their strength underwater, fish can’t use their strength outside of the water.


Sea level isn’t outside water, but the Lifers who are capable of battling in flight were able to escape the bothersome water pressure and recover some amount of freedom.


It is an environment in which they are at an absolute disadvantage. Strategist’s thinking had brought them to a place where they could be equals even if they couldn’t be at an advantage.


Cha Jun Sung watched the male and female pair growling in front of him, and took a deep breath.


He’ll be level S as long as he finishes this. There’s no higher from there.


He has enough points to go shopping in the level S store as well. If he eats those guys and combines the reward points, he could have over 20 billion.


“I wonder. What’ll it be like after if I kill Evil Queen.”


If he completes level S missions and kills all the level 9s, will that be the end of Life Mission? Is there an end to Life Mission?


Papat!


Cha Jun Sung stopped thinking and threw his body. If he started something, he needs to end it. When he attacked, Park Jin Hyuk’s group and the Rankers also started attacking with their guns.


“Be my foothold.”


There’s no point even if they reject this.


He isn’t doing this with the intention of getting permission.
