How to Live Immortally Episode 301

301 All actions stop

* * *

Should I say that there is a mountain beyond a mountain?

X’s intrusion turned the balance of the scales that had been tipped back into nothing. No, it turned the whole situation upside down.

But Ryoichi, he is the incarnation of the evil one who has overcome countless difficulties with his sharp tongue. That is why he was even called the Seven Poisonous One by the nobles.

Wasn’t there a secret weapon that was kept hidden until the end for times like this?

“There’s nothing to be afraid of. The author is Alice’s colleague. In the end, he’s our enemy.”

Raincoat on holographic helmet.

From Kaito’s perspective, who knew what kind of organization it was, it was just puzzling.

“So she’s in league with the Martian Defense Force?”

“No. It’s been like that from the beginning. Alice is a genius who was raised for that purpose.”

The members were shocked by the revelation that the organization’s pillars were actually the military’s puppets. They were so shocked that they did not dare to discuss the truth of it.

“Could it be that the leader was hit by…?”

“I noticed and tried to restrain them, but they were one step ahead.”

“Did you find out that it was dogma while digging up your weaknesses?”

This also explains why Hoya didn’t help Alice and just stood by, and why Kenji suddenly showed up and started making a fuss.

As Kaito rationalized it to himself, Ryoichi quickly picked it up.

“Yes, it is a scheme to swallow up the Miyauchi-gumi. The forces led by Lady Alice have already joined hands with the Mars Defense Force.”

From a distance, the logic was riddled with holes. It was still true that he hid his membership in Dogma, and it was difficult to convince people of the existence of Blanca, who suddenly appeared.

But it only took a moment.

Negotiation and persuasion can always be done later.

Isn’t reconciliation something that is done based on vested interests?

After a series of events, the power would be reduced, but even that could be blamed on Hoya.

In any case, since the leader has died, the Mars Defense Forces will probably consider it an example. If they want, they are willing to tie it up with the Insanity Project and hand it over as an achievement.

Yeah, if only X disappeared, everything would be fine.

As if in agreement with that claim, the surrounding atmosphere changes.

There was no way I didn’t know it was X.

“If you want to defend me, defend me. Even if you slaughter everyone standing here, I won’t stop.”

It was at that moment that Kaito, facing X, rebuked him.

“If you’re so confident, tell me your affiliation and name. If you’re sure of your identity, I’ll listen to what you have to say.”

“… … .”

This was also the moment when Ryoichi’s conspiracy was completed. If there was one thing X couldn’t say, it was those two.

“Yeah, so it was someone’s trick.”

The misunderstanding that sprouted up in an instant quickly takes root and spreads its branches. Eventually, it bears fruit, and Kaito takes out his Ootachi, a great sword.

A cold weapon boasting the longest blade among Japanese swords. Its length alone is 156 centimeters.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a swinging spear, but the hilt of the sword had an additional rotating cylinder attached to it.

A style commonly called a gunblade, which uses the blade as a rail to fire bullets.

That was Kaito’s exclusive unit, Tonbomaru (??丸), which reached right under Kenho’s feet.

X, who had lowered the tip of the single-molecule blade and taken the lower position, muttered softly.

“I hope you won’t regret that decision.”

With a loud noise like a thunderbolt, the ground was swept away like a carpet. The moment they touched the afterimage that stretched out like a stick of taffy, all the swept away members were killed. None of them managed to survive.

“Ugh.”

Kaito, who had collided with him, also had no choice but to be pushed back helplessly by the force.

The fact that he was able to attach the hilt of his sword just before it was cut by the single-molecule blade and drag it into a nose-to-nose fight is evidence that his skills are extraordinary.

Even though he was swinging his sword as big as my kidney, Kaito never allowed me to land a valid hit. He just elegantly kicked away the part of the single-molecule blade that had the cutting function.

“Those eyes are special.”

“You can tell just by looking at it.”

As he said, Kaito’s compound eyes resembled those of an insect. It was an appearance that could not help but be repulsive and uncomfortable at the same time. However, there was something to be gained by breaking away from the human frame: the prosthetic eye could even see through radiation.

Originally, Kaito was blind.

In modern society, where the presence of genetic diseases and family history can be identified from conception, being born with a disability is not welcomed by anyone.

Because of this, he, an orphan, faced the world only after becoming an adult.

It was from that moment that Kaito, who had dedicated all his fortune to having his eyes specially made as if to vent all the resentment he had been holding in, began to realize his own specialness.

The congenital brain lesion interpreted the visual elements received by the artificial eye as other information.

An unexpected, innate blessing.

It was visible in his eyes.

An invisible concept that cannot be included in the function of the eye.

That’s momentum.

That ability was also demonstrated without fail against X. The mysterious swordsmanship was also based on a special field of vision. Now that he had become proficient, he used it to gauge his opponent’s strength.

After all, ability is the sum total of momentum.

‘however…….’

X’s aura, which was vague and not visible, passed the critical point and eventually reached the sky. It was a completely different situation from the beginning where they were just exchanging checks and balances.

“Ugh.”

“You, are you the one who can see?”

In that moment, the killing intent explodes even more. As if to tell me that what I just did was a waste of time.

Kaito felt a chill in his bones as if he was swimming in a swamp.

What an outrageous monster this is.

It was similar to the phenomenon I occasionally saw when Alice revealed her true feelings. No, maybe even more than that―

“Don’t come!”

Kaito hurriedly warned of the danger, but others could not believe the warning that was visible only to his eyes.

Crunch.

The lifelines of the officers who had gone to join the battle were all cut down in an instant. Kaito was trying to counterattack by taking advantage of the momentary gap, but before he could, a sharp, sword-like storm passed by his neck.

Stop.

“……ah.”

What burst out of his mouth were words of despair. It was the vain end of the Miyauchi-gumi’s Second Sword, Kuroiwa Kaito.

It’s not that I let my guard down.

There is only a gap that is felt that way.

“Stop it, quickly! There’s only one opponent left anyway. They’re trying to get you to stop while you’re tired.”

The crew rushed in at Ryoichi’s order, but the result was the same. X became a loser and did not hesitate to dance with his sword.

His free footsteps were free-flowing, and his fearless swordsmanship was like a swordsman’s sword. It was as if he was asking what the human barrier was.

It seems like he’s prioritizing cutting down guys who are just standing in his way, but the tip of his sword is actually aimed at Shinkoukai Sanha.

The moment Ryoichi, unable to bear the dwindling power, is about to take his ‘last resort’, the police barge in.

“Oh my, the banquet is already underway.”

The fourth force visited Takeya Castle.

It was Special Agent Jin-Gen that Ryoichi had been most wary of. It couldn’t have been more unexpected for him, having received a message from Josef that the target had been dealt with.

“How are you?”

“I have received the gift you sent.”

After seeing the device that Jin-Geon took out from his arms, Ryoichi bit his lip, realizing what had happened. It was because he remembered his answer to the question of where it was.

“It seems like you’ve been good at teasing others as you go back, but what should I do?”

Aim the gun upward and fire a blank bullet.

“Everyone stop moving.”

Behind Jin Geon, who declared to the world, numerous soldiers picked up their guns.

“I will indict all members of the Miyauchi-gumi on charges of instigating the murder of a special agent. If you wish to claim your innocence, surrender obediently.”

Jin Geon, who had put an end to the chaos, walked step by step toward the person he had been longing for.

X, the black ghost Yanghu.

After months of chasing, he finally caught the big fish. This was his first meeting with Jin-geon. He knew that revealing his true colors would be like committing the same mistake as Ta-cho Kyung-sa, so he pretended to be friendly.

“May I ask for the understanding of the Mars Defense Forces?”

* * *

A flash of light that clears away the glowing halo. A storm that cuts through it. And a lightning bolt that violently repels those who approach.

The three attacks, one after the other, form a circle.

The battle is now in its final stages.

Gaon smiled as he confirmed that Jin-geon had successfully made contact with X. With this, he and Yang-hu had become completely strangers, and they would be free from all suspicions in the future.

Alice, who had been watching the scene for a moment, had a different dream.

“I think Mr. Gaon feels the same way as me.”

“Let’s say that’s true.”

“I’m embarrassed.”

The passing of two people goes beyond the level of working together, and moves to a stage where they become complementary beings.

The sight of them leaning on each other’s backs as they move through the arena filled with lasers is like a wheel itself.

As soon as Aris cuts through the surging plasma, Gaon collects and stores the shock through the spiral, then detonates the burst.

Almost simultaneously, the waves shooting out like swords and the thick lasers intersected, leaving deep scars on the acid.

Even modern mountain fortresses, designed to withstand all kinds of natural disasters, were helpless when disaster erupted from within.

Boom!

In an instant, the pillars broke and the entire floor sank.

thud!

The lower floors, unable to support the weight of the upper floors that fell, sink, and the floors below that also collapse. Once the chain reaction begins, there is no stopping it, and the entire staircase begins to fall vertically.

Boom, boom, boom!

The death course from the top to the first floor.

Even as they fell, the three of them jumped up, using the gravity-defying boulders as stepping stones.

For them, who can move in three dimensions, the word space has no limitations.

Each time they collide, the shock waves spread out in a radial direction and echo throughout the mountain.

Although no one said anything, everyone felt it intuitively.

That below is the destination.

Electricity shoots up like fire over Alice’s skin as she whips her core to heat it.

She looked straight at Blanca, who was falling ahead of her, and took a step forward, leaning on the falling rock.

What you need is maximum peak power.

Quasi-. Thunder roars at powers approaching terawatts, well beyond gigawatts. The hexagon dice skeleton creaks, and the specially-made organoids burn.

Operation beyond actual specifications.

Blanca also lined up reflector mirrors along the current flowing along the acid wall to prepare for the end.

Mirrors stacked high make an invincible wall.

Anything that falls into the category of optical weapons can be countered.

The moment she became aligned with Blanca, Alice focused all her mind on drawing the sword in order to break down such prejudices.

In that moment, the rippling current, as if responding to her will, suddenly turns into white light.
