Light of Arad: The First to Walk - Chapter 90



Only Noblemtl

090

It seemed like I had finally come to know the truth.

‘Yes, even if you have various abilities in reality, the reason you can’t survive here is because… …the environment is different. It would be even more so in a world with a medieval fantasy setting like Arad-.’

This is heaven.

In some ways, the old culture remains, but not as much as science.

A science fiction world that can be seen as more advanced than the ‘scientific civilization of Earth’ that Jinseong and Vivi lived in. It is a place where things like dimensional navigation ships can be created in an instant.

‘-The Geumgangrang that Melvin is riding right now is a robot with complete artificial intelligence. Not only that, as far as I know… … it means that the things that will happen in heaven later are possible here ‘right now’.’

Assuming that resources exist, it can be assumed that the environmental conditions for achieving them have already been created.

What about Vivi then?

Vivi, who can modify the that Jinseong himself uses in less than 5 minutes?!

“Karrrrrung!”

“Kyaaaaaaaah-s!”

“Ask! Tear them all apart and kill them!”

As the cartel member controlling the military dogs shouted, the two-headed AM-0 biters rushed towards Jinseong and Vivi.

“Your Majesty! I’ll take the right side!”

“Ah- , .”

Only after seeing Vivi skillfully running and counterattacking did Jinseong come to his senses.

What Vivi can do right now, and how far she is thinking.

And one more thing.

‘Is that… … really okay to do?’

Above all, there is the possibility that the work related to modifications she has continuously shown could create something ‘out of standard’, and what effect such development activities would have on the flow of the main scenario quest.

“This is not the time to think like that, ha-ap-!”

Jinseong quickly used his mobility to bypass the rushing AM-0 Biter, and then grabbed it from behind and lowered his flamethrower towards its lower body.

“Keeeeeeel-! Kkekeung!”

Now that you’re level 60, there’s no need to pour everything into these common monsters.

Right next to him, two more AM-0 biters thrust their teeth at Jinseong, but he simply extended one arm.

“.”

The level 50 skill, , which was used as a single skill rather than a combo during the Dark Knight era of the game Dungeon & Fighter, was cast.

Crack, crack, crack… … !

A skill that even puzzled Captain Luther, it makes the caster ‘invincible while casting’.

“Keuhung, keeuhung.”

“Kehehehe!”

It was only natural that the teeth of the genetically modified military dogs that tried to dig into Jinseong’s body would break apart.

It doesn’t just nullify their attacks.

The continuous attacks of the that make it impossible to even escape, followed by a fall and explosion.

────────────… … .

Jinseong easily cleared out the monsters without breaking a sweat.

Vivi hasn’t finished it yet, and even though she’s gotten used to the battle, it seems like her processing speed is bound to be slower than Jinseong’s.

What could be heard faintly during that gap was Heukgu’s voice.

[Kklekkle… … I thought you were weak against dogs because you were suddenly attacked.]

Jinseong shrugged his shoulders.

No matter how absentmindedly you are attacked, you will never face danger from normal monsters.

The same goes for named monsters and boss monsters.

“Is that really the case? If you’re dealing with normal guys, it shouldn’t matter… Wait a minute. That’s not what we’re talking about right now, is it?”

The moment where I try to tell you that if you’re going through a crisis, it’s not much different unless it’s a case of a ‘contaminated monster’.

Jinseong realized.

“Are you trying to say that I was weak to you? Then… Phew, Mr. Black Goo? Are you admitting that you yourself are a ‘dog’?”

What was the mistake contained in the remark that Heukgu blurted out without realizing it, the remark that was meant to slyly tease Jinseong?

Heukgu responded with a voice that was more embarrassed than ever.

[Wh, what are you talking about, I didn’t mean to say that-.]

“I see… Well, to anyone who looks at it, the main body inside the crack looks like a dog, right?”

[-That’s funny! I’m the other self of the Direji of the Black Disease! Do you think you can say that to me, a being who is not restricted by form and can transform at any time, Jinseong!]

I want to object strongly, but even if it were the main body of Direji, I would have nothing to say.

After all, Jinseong was the one who knew the settings of the game Dungeon & Fighter better than anyone else.

“But you’re the one in the form of a dog, aren’t you, Mr. Black Goo?”

The body of the Direzier of the Black Disease can actually be said to be amorphous.

There is no specific rule, it can change shape.

[How dare… … that… … .]

“Phew.”

But what about the appearance that the apostle himself chose and equipped in the Direzier of the Black Disease?

The moment the crispy truth in the setting touches that part, Heukgu has no choice but to keep his mouth shut.

[… … I’m getting so angry… … ]

Black Goo muttered.

Jinseong smiled with a sense of satisfaction.

“Then you have to tease the person who is going to tease you. Hehehe.”

Then I was embarrassed.

[I can feel that feeling in this way too. Hehe. It’s a different kind of anger than the blood-spitting rage I felt toward that Hilda.]

“Huh? What the heck? Are you crazy?”

Because what I heard from Heukgu, who I thought would be frustrated or angry, was laughter.

Do you even know what the situation is?

However, Jinseong could no longer talk to Heukgu.

“Huh? Mr. Jinsang? What did you say?”

“Oh, yes? No, no, are you done cleaning up?”

“Of course! Let’s go quickly! I see it over there, over there, over there, whoa, it’s a humanoid this time!”

Because Vivi, who had dealt with all of the twin-headed dog AM-0 Asti, came and made a fuss.

Near the barracks, which can be seen from a distance, humanoid, genetically engineered lifeforms are now beginning to appear.

“UM-9 Electon. That’s right.”

“Do you know my name? As expected…….”

“What’s the name, it’s just… I used to go around a lot. Don’t you remember Ipkiss among the named ones? If you think about how annoying their pattern was, their names come to mind like a chain reaction.”

The history of the game Dungeon & Fighter is long.

As level restrictions are lifted, the level ranges and dungeons that each user struggles with are bound to be somewhat different because of this.

However, from Jinseong’s perspective, who had already raised several characters since long ago, he had no choice but to experience difficult dungeon sections every time.

“Lip kiss? Was there such a thing?”

“……Let’s go.”

Jinseong could understand with just one word that Vivi was not a user with similar tendencies to Jinseong, so Jinseong had to just keep his mouth shut and walk forward.

* * *

The cartel supply base, made of tents connected to tents, was so large that it could be considered a kind of fortress.

Of course, there couldn’t be only mutant life forms created by modifying DNA.

The Cartel reinforced soldier guarding the supply base shouted as soon as he saw Vivi.

“What kind of guy are you!”

“Huh? What are you going to do with that?”

But, should we still say that Vivi is one step ahead?

“……what?”

“Shall I dismantle your body?”

Jinseong touched his forehead as he listened to the strange conversation that even confused the Cartel’s modified reinforcement soldiers and Cartel engineers.

“……Ms. Vivi, let’s just go. Please.”

“Heat, it was a joke! !”

Vivi immediately activated the control device and began the battle.

Above the supply base, which was as spacious as a fortress, a bomber that had been summoned was already in place.

────, ────, ────!

The Silver Buster, which tore through the tent and fell to the ground, had no chance of surviving the indiscriminate energy bombardment of the Cartel modified soldiers, Cartel engineers, and UM-9 Electons.

Even if there are any surviving enemies or AM-0 Astina or other Cartel engineers that will appear in the ‘next room’, there is no need to worry.

“Corona, Transform G-3, Raptor!”

Taaaaang, taaaaang… … !

Vivi was quite familiar with using the G series, which can be considered the main weapon of the female mechanic profession, along with the ‘normal attack’ damage using an automatic pistol.

“What do you think, Jinsang?!”

Vivi pushed up her glasses after neatly clearing out the remaining enemies.

Jinseong shrugged his shoulders as he looked at her, who was shrugging and asking for praise.

“I feel like I finally have the basic combo down, somehow.”

“huh?”

“You just got the Roll Sun timing, but you didn’t use it, right? I told you to always remember to charge with your body.”

Because in Jinseong’s eyes, there was still a long way to go.

I’ve reached a level where I understand it theoretically and can apply it, but isn’t that what Jinseong wants?

A level where you can use it freely, even unconsciously, while paying attention to other things.

It’s literally at a level where it has to be absorbed into your body.

Vivi said with a somewhat sullen expression.

“I, I remembered. But why did I have to do that now…….”

“You have to make it a habit. You’ll find yourself turning the transform keys on your own without even realizing it – oh, it’s not a keyboard so it’s a bit different, but anyway, you have to practice here so that you can adjust them right away. It’ll be easier later on. You have to prepare to transform into the main machine of , not . According to Vivi’s ‘analysis’, that’s the best. Right?”

At least from Vivi’s perspective, it was a statement that could not be refuted logically.

Vivi also remembers the videos of how many characters Jinseong used in the past and how efficient and rational the battles were.

All she could say was something close to a blunt complaint.

“They’re all dead anyway. But if the damage is enough- Ah!?”

“Kraaaaak-.”

As if to deny those words, an entity rushed from behind her.

AM-9 Crunchy, a twin-headed dog named monster based on AM-0 Asti, further enhanced.

The two-headed dog, which was rushing as if it would tear Vivi’s back apart, had to immediately let out a cry.

“-Kyaheeng!”

“They’re all dead?”

Because Jinseong, who had been using the mobile device, bypassed Vivi and cut down Crunchy who was jumping.

The AM-9 Crunchy, which collapses and rolls around, is a monster more than twice as large as the AM-0 Asti.

Vivi’s complexion changed slightly as she looked at the military dog’s teeth still wiggling even in its dead state.

“……I will work hard from now on.”

Jinseong let out a small laugh as he watched Vivi bowing her head toward him in an exaggerated manner.

‘He may seem stubborn, but that’s because he has strong self-confidence… … Aside from having strong self-confidence, he also knows how to admit and accept mistakes right away. Actually, I guess Gongdol is more of that type of person.’

Talent. If you give it the right input, it will give you the right output.

After going through several rooms, Vivi was able to clearly understand and correct Jinseong’s caution and move forward.

For Jinseong, who had built a reputation as an educational institution, it was only natural that he could not dislike a personality like Vivi.

At this point, with all of the AM-9 Crunchies taken care of, only one remained.

“Wow! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!”

The protagonist of the roar heard from far away.

“Whoooooooooooooooooooo!”

UM-7 Blaster, the boss of the dungeon ‘Supply Route Blockade’.

“Whoa! Whoa whoa whoa whoa!”

A transformed monster with a body much larger than the UM-9 Electon and an eerie green color.

However, is it inevitable that the sight of the boss yelling incessantly is somehow disconcerting?

“It seemed pretty scary when I saw it in a speech bubble before.”

Rather than feeling intimidated, it’s a pitiful and funny situation.

Vivi tilted her head as she listened to Jinseong’s muttering.

“Huh? Are there times when you’re scared, Jinsang?”

“That was back when wandering around here was the main content.”

“Your Majesty! Look behind you! Look behind you!”

Jinseong wanted to tell her a story from back then, but she wasn’t the type of person to wait and listen to something like that.

First of all, there were some shiny things visible behind the Boss UM-7 Blaster.

“Yes, I see. Is that what you were looking for, Vivi?”

What Vivi had been looking for.

If these mutant creatures were operated on/modified/produced here, the power and energy that was absolutely necessary would have been there.

“A small generator! Now I can do welding and anything else!”

The first ones to rush towards Vivi, who was jumping up and down with anticipation, were the UM-9 Electons supporting UM-7 Blaster.

They said.

“We are Dr. Giselle’s watchmen.”

“We are Dr. Giselle’s watchmen.”

Jinseong’s forehead wrinkled for a moment as he watched the DNA-mutated lifeforms repeating the same voice and the same comments.

“Giselle……”

As a user of the game Dungeon & Fighter, the name of the enemy I have been dealing with for a long time, the mad scientist ‘Giselle Logan’, was called.
