Light of Arad: The First to Walk - Chapter 91

Giselle, a mad scientist who rejects any restrictions to achieve the results of her desired experiments and satisfy her intellectual curiosity.

Vivi also reacted as if she couldn’t forget that name.

“Giselle! That’s right, that’s right, this is Giselle from here on out! Then meet Giselle-.”

“The only threatening pattern among UM-7 Blaster’s main patterns is its rolling attack, so don’t get caught up in it. If it takes a certain amount of damage, it will enter the small generator that Vivi saw and try to recover HP. Don’t waste time and attack it in one go.”

However, compared to Vivi, who was trying to welcome him warmly, Jinseong was extremely cold.

“huh?”

“If you fight like before, thinking that the damage will be enough, you’ll end up losing. Concentrate.”

“Yes, yes……”

Bibi tilted her head toward Jinseong, who was speaking seriously, but did she know that the atmosphere was such that she couldn’t even joke around?

Vivi immediately took out her automatic pistol and ran out.

“Other than that, it’s a pattern where you jump up big and then slam down with your shoulder like a wrestler. You can see it and dodge it, so be careful not to lose your balance by getting caught in the shock wave.”

“all right!”

In addition to improving her own skills by gaining confidence in battle, if she hears this kind of advice on pattern breaking, she will have nothing to fear!

Jinseong was lost in thought for a moment as he watched Vivi start fighting immediately after the gunshot rang out.

‘Perhaps the final battle here was against Giselle.’

Dungeon Area: Jinseong knew that the ‘Pursuit and Annihilation Battle’ on Mount Halt, where the final battle of the Antwerp Canyon took place, was the last of this series.

Field Commander Babylon, who had surrounded the imperial capital Ghent, has been defeated, and the supply base of the cartel organization that had advanced to Ghent has been destroyed and its supplies are being seized. With this defeat in battle as the starting point, a chase to completely destroy the retreating cartel continues.

Jinseong couldn’t help but feel a little nervous, knowing that he would be facing the mad scientist, Giselle Logan, in that very battle.

‘There hasn’t been any significant contamination yet. The card came out when Vivi stopped the AT-5T walker from being modified, so the contamination in this area is over… … You could say that… … .’

Considering the possibility of contamination, it is not something to be taken lightly. We must not let our guard down.

It’s different from normal monsters.

This is not just any NPC.

‘He is a character who tried to distort history and change the flow of the DnF game story. At least at this point, it would be right to think that it won’t just end.’

The opponent is Giselle.

The question is where and how the problem involving Giselle will arise.

Since Jinseong himself had not yet figured out any clues, he racked his brain even more furiously.

‘The only thing left in relation to Giselle is the UM-0 Ultimatum. There’s a genetically modified lifeform that’s even bigger and more vicious than that Blasto right now… … .’

There remains a boss that is almost three times the size of a monster like the UM-9 Electon.

I’ll be facing the next dungeon right away, but I’m not really nervous about facing it directly.

‘And there… … there is a large generator that is even bigger than that small generator.’

We know that pollution does not necessarily come from living things.

Well then, maybe there’s something else going on.

Even if this supply line blockage or genetically modified organisms aren’t involved, what about the next one?

‘If there’s nothing there, then the next part is dealing with Giselle herself.’

Broadly speaking, there are three opportunities for contamination or distortion to occur.

Of course, from Jinseong’s perspective, he hopes for a level where common monsters like UM-0 Ultimatum change a little bit… … .

‘After all, it’s the part related to Giselle herself – ugh, that’s probably the most likely.’

I could tell intuitively that the possibility of that was slim.

Considering the scope, form, and nature of the pollution that the has hidden until now, it would never come out that way.

Gisele Logan, you have to be careful about what kind of contamination you might get from it.

“I’m awake! I got it! Lord Jinsang! It’s over!”

Just as I was gathering my thoughts, Vivi’s shouts echoed through the supply base.

Jinseong looked at the monsters scattered around him and smiled faintly.

Even if there is contamination related to Giselle, there is Vivi for now.

There is another Bing-ui who is just as adept at combat.

The thought slowly began to creep up on me that if I could get some help from her, even if some contamination appeared, it would be a little easier than it was now.

Jinseong subtly praised her and even considered future events.

“See. If you focus, you can do it. More than you expect-.”

“Oh, let’s see, what’s the generator capacity? Is the wire this way?”

However, Vivi’s focus was already completely focused on the small generators.

Jinseong let out a small sigh as the sound of Heukgu’s laughter echoed faintly in his head.

* * *

There was nothing Jinseong could do to help.

Bibi ran around here and there on her own, gathering all the tools she could use, and before she knew it, there was a pile of stuff next to the small generators.

‘That’s a screwdriver. That’s a screwdriver too. A big screwdriver. Nipper one, nipper two, nipper three… . . . ‘

In addition to the objects that all look the same at first glance and are difficult to even call by their names, there are also specialized tools whose names I don’t even know.

“Okay, Jinsang! Please hold this in place!”

And even Vivi starts handling it like a fish in water.

“Huh? Oh, yeah.”

Jinseong, who had been blankly watching her actions, moved slightly at her call.

What she was trying to set up while fussing was the machine gun she had taken off the GT-9600.

“But what are you going to do with it? That machine gun you took off from the GT-9600? That’s it?”

Jinseong asked, lightly holding the bare gun with all of the ammunition belts removed.

Vivi tilted her head as if to ask why such a thing was asked.

Then he answered like a machine gun.

“Huh? Of course I have to cut it off! There’s a grinder here! And a generator to run the grinder! Looking over there, it looks like there’s something that can be used for electric welding. First of all, the belt where the bullet goes in here is a bit stiff, so if I have to do that first- Don’t you have something like a buckle, here?”

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

Why did she wait so long to reach heaven?

And how could he show off his pride in being able to stand out from the heavens?

‘When I didn’t even know the damage combos used in real battles, I seemed like a really thoughtless person, but… … That couldn’t be true. After all, I’m a user chosen by Nemer. I can’t come here without any special skills.’

Wow… … !

She is good at theory, but what else can she do? She is about to prove it to herself.

She asked, turning on the grinder.

“Oh, sir, Jinsang?”

“yes?”

“Is this okay to do?”

“What is it?”

“No, last time we stopped the AT-5T Walker from doing something. Snowball. This is okay to do, right?”

Jinseong’s eyes widened as he heard that question.

It wasn’t just a question of whether such behavior was acceptable.

“Will you listen if I tell you?”

Even though he had been waiting for this situation for so long, it was Vivi’s attitude of asking for confirmation from Jinseong at the last moment that truly surprised Jinseong.

When Bibi asked Jinseong again, he looked really embarrassed.

“I listened to you- Rather than listen to you, what should I say… Anyway, what Jinsang said makes sense… ”

Are you surprised that you yourself have come up with these ideas and asked these questions?

That answer alone was enough.

Jinseong smiled proudly for a moment, but his thoughts did not last long.

Whoosh whoosh… … !

Because an example is worth more than ten words.

“. I’m still using the one that Vivi modified for me. By the way, I’m so touched that you asked me that, I’m almost in tears-”

“Aha. I understand. Let’s go!”

“Uh, yeah? I understand already-.”

OMG────────!

“-Tears… are welling up. Oh, really, me.”

Jinseong couldn’t help but chuckle as he saw the tools made of Teroton alloy clashing with each other, sending sparks flying.

Jinseong thought as he listened to the fierce mechanical sound.

‘I guess I should say that the understanding is quick… … .’

What Jinseong himself wanted to say was simple.

The small generator and the AT-5T walker have different tracks.

It’s not like something that’s given for a clear purpose as a quest and something that’s distributed throughout the dungeon without much influence can be treated the same way, right?

Above all, the that Jinseong himself is already using is a weapon that Vivi modified.

In addition, Jinseong himself cannot be left out in terms of utilizing objects visible on the map.

‘I guess I should go to the Golden Cave again soon. I’ll have to go down to Arad anyways after rescuing the Celestial Princess, so I should pack some more then.’

What could he say to Vivi, who was in the position of using the gold they had accumulated in the cave of the dwarves that continued from the Kingdom of Pennes?

So Jinseong’s choice was to simply watch Vivi being remodeled.

“Okay, now let’s sand it down a bit – Mr. Jinsang! Can you pass me some of that sandpaper?”

“Polish? What is it?”

“That’s what’s in the cylinder. That’s probably it. Judging from the similar ingredients-.”

“Oh, there are more than five round cans here. What kind of…….”

“Just get out of the way. I’m sitting over there.”

After all, there wasn’t much Jinseong could do to help.

In the end, I had no choice but to sit on the chair Vivi had assigned and watch her move busily.

Cut something out.

Trimmed with something.

To hang or stick something.

‘The tools and materials are all things you’re definitely seeing for the first time… … It’s amazing that you don’t seem confused.’

As Jinseong blankly watched her move without any hesitation, another voice rang in his head.

[Kkukkukkuk… … Are you being treated uselessly, Jinseong?]

It was a black ball that came rushing in as if it had seized the opportunity.

Since the machine noise was so loud that Vivi would not be able to hear what he was saying to Heukgu, Jinseong also responded to his provocation with ease.

“It’s not that it’s useless, it’s just that it has different special abilities.”

[Anyway, isn’t it true that there’s nothing to do right now? They say that it’s useless in the Demon World.]

Direji’s face briefly appeared at the sound of the giggling voice of the black goblin.

Jinseong said with a sly smile.

“Who was that crouching alone in the Demon World?”

Who would dare say such things to whom when they were alone?

[No, it’s different… … That’s because all the other guys were afraid of my power and avoided me-.]

“That’s right. So you were alone after all. Hehe, being treated as useless? Is that right, Mr. Black Goo? And like I said last time, it’s not like the other kids were avoiding you because they were afraid of you, right?”

Changing the subject cleverly and teasing Heukgu was now a familiar and enjoyable game for Jinseong as well.

[-Useless, ahem, no. Speak straight, Jinseong! It’s just because I don’t need to hang out with guys who aren’t on the same level as me! I-.]

“Oh, right. Now that I think about it… Vivi!”

Heukgu raised his voice, but Jinseong, who remembered something, cut him off and called Vivi.

Vivi answered without even looking back.

“why?!”

Jinseong shook his head for a moment at the sight of her back as she focused on her work before continuing his question.

That was also one of the ideas that came to mind one day.

Heukgu took interest in the self-propelled mobile weapon, a giant robot made of Teroton alloy.

“By any chance, Ms. Vivi… can you make it?”

And what was it that Jinseong and Vivi were dealing with here?

“What are you making?”

“Genetic mutant life forms or… robots. Specifically-.”

Jinseong answered Vivi’s question.

Pointing to the distant body of AM-9 Crunchy, that is, the body of the two-headed military dog.

“-Something like a dog-shaped robot.”

If Vivi can make something like that, what can she do?

Jinseong already had a plan in his head.
