Dozens of tanks the size of buildings go down the road in a line. There were no lane boundaries because of the size of the tanks.

After riding for a while, they arrived at a city with no life to be found as per usual.

“Stop.”

Lifers reverse their tanks at Tyrant’s signal.

These large tanks will draw too much attention, so they need to go on foot. The Rage guild checks their gear. Their faces are hidden behind helmets, but their expressions are unusually grim. Even Tyrant retreated from his madness and acted with caution.

“That’s the axis.”

As a result of calculating the activity radius of the Hundred Eyes, there is a high chance that the Universe Eye is currently in that city. It could be a base.

Tyrant destroyed the Hundred Eyes in order to hide the Rage guild and to lure Cha Jun Sung.

At some point, they used the Hundred Eyes as indicators to find Cha Jun Sung. It had been easy to find the Hundred Eyes because they had micro reconnaissance robots everywhere.

That’s how they calculated the radius and arrived here.

[Master. We found the Universe Eye 600m above sea level.]

Tyrant smirks.

It is as he expected.

This is where it started.

2 raids, 2000 take the sky. 8 raids, 8000 are on ground.

[Shall we destroy it?]

[Do it.]

Bang bang bang!

A meteor falls from far away. It is a phenomenon that formed as the Universe Eye fell. It lost its functions.

[Split into 2 raids and surround the city. Scourge everything that leaves.]

They block the air from east and west. It’s a small city.

The 2000 Lifers wearing battlesuits in the air couldn’t find anything. They have no doubt that Cha Jun Sung entered in a small group.

‘That’s right. You never liked going around in large groups. That’s the type of guy you are.’

He will postpone progress on Black Devil for now. There is no time limit.

It won’t be too late to finish it even after killing Cha Jun Sung.

There are only gains even if he fails.

Bang bang bang bang!

The small city becomes completely devastated due to weapons of mass destruction like white phosphorus shells and cluster shots. The fire power becomes concentrated, creating a big explosion. The buildings didn’t just come down, they were reduced to ashes. Mutants also disappeared. That kind of fire power would be dangerous even for a level B Lifer.

It would have little effect on Cha Jun Sung and his party members, but he isn’t trying to kill them. He is trying to cut off their flow with a surprise attack.

[Go in. Aim for a break.]

The 5 groups that had been surrounding the small city kept closing the distance.

They entered the city and inside the city, they got close enough to see each other. Even still, they couldn’t find Cha Jun Sung.

‘Did I guess wrong? With the route that the Hundred Eyes were destroyed, he should be able to figure out that the person doing it is coming this way...’

Cha Jun Sung will know that someone is destroying his gear. He will definitely be curious, and he could be tracking them instead.

That is this place.

If he came here, they should have met or there should have been a sign that they would run into each other.

The guild members who had been in the sky, came down.

The city is small, so they basically searched the entire place.

Tyrant looked at the buildings nearby.

‘He’s either coming from another region, or he’s hiding somewhere here.’

They just need to wait and see if it’s the former. If it’s the latter...

[Search everything.]

As soon as Tyrant’s search order fell, everyone went in except the 2 raids protecting him.

No. They were about to move.

Rumble.

“Earth – earthquake?”

“This feels similar to the earthquake in my country.”

An earthquake is a natural disaster.

The small city shakes crazily.

The Rage guild members aren’t taken aback. They would have been scared if they had been bare bodied, but they trusted that they could take on even nature if they were in their battlesuits.

The earthquake became stronger and cracks began to form on the surface like a web.

Tyrant watched and decided to get away. If the ground breaks and crumbles away, the guild power will be scattered.

As if it read Tyrant’s mind, the ground fell away before he could give his order.

It fell deep.

Boom boom boom!

The Rage guild members turned on their boosters and maintained their balance. They increased their output and flew high.

“Phew! It looks like it could be hundreds of meters deep.”

One of the guild members whistles and changed his view to night mode, looking down into the abyss.

It looks endless.

“It’s weird.”

“What is?”

“Look around. Doesn’t the shape of the collapsed ground look strange?”

“Not that you say that, yeah. It’s really clean.”

The person questioning and the person agreeing.

Lifers look around.

They couldn’t tell while it was falling, but the shape of the collapsed grond really is unique.

It looks like a tool was used to dig out the area underneath where they were standing.

“Look up!”

This was blurted out.

The Rage guild members who had been trying to get out of the abyss looked up. Something dark red was falling on them.

Thousands of flying Bomb Ants.

The Rage guild members hadn’t been able to get out of the abyss yet.

They narrow as much as they get out.

The two groups collided without even greeting each other.

Bang!

Bomb Ants self-destruct.

With explosions everywhere, the next round of Bomb Ants exploded, creating a chain explosion.

The Rage guild members who had almost escaped the abyss were stopped by the explosions. They could withstand one or two explosions, but their bodies were swallowed up with explosions raining down on them.

The battlesuits had only been getting scratched up, but slowly began to crack until they were completely destroyed. Guild members on board outside were either hit by the Bomb Ants’ wreckage or plummeting to the ground. They were dying one way or another.

Ack!

“Get through! Get through and get out!”

The cadres urge the guild members.

Their disadvantage in terms of the terrain is too severe. They cannot find a path out. The only way to survive is to face it head on.

Bang bang bang!

The top was still a mess – there was no progress.

The guild members’ abilities were high though, so they weren’t getting pushed back even if they weren’t able to push forward.

“You idiots! I’ll get through. Follow me!”

“Yes!”

Tyrant was frustrated with the way they were hesitating, and took the lead.

Bombs were alit in both of his hands. One of these can get rid of a radius of dozens of meters. If he throws them, it’ll clean up everything within that radius.

Bang!

“The side!”

“They’re coming from the sides too. Ex – explosion! Ack!”

Inside the collapsed ground, a hole forms in the wall and ordinary Bomb Ants throw their bodies to attack the guild members.

They self-destruct once they get close, and the Rage guild was getting attacked from two places – the ground and sky.

There was a lot of damage.

Cha Jun Sung had planned the larger frame of the plan, while Odin planned the details.

This is the moment when the Ant Hell, a plan that can cause a lot of damage at once, can succeed.

***

“Bastards. They’re giving so many.”

Cha Jun Sung can hear notifications of the points he is earning.

Level C is 500,000. Level B is 5,000,000.

It is more than twice the amount of points for mutants. It is reflective of the fact that it is not easy to kill Lifers. On top of that, he got PK points separately and that was the real deal.

[You have earned 7,000,000 points and 4,200,000 achievement points.]

[You have earned 5,000,000 points and 3,000,000 achievement points.]

[You have earned 18,000,000 points and 10,800,000 achievement points.]

PK points are 10% of the points that the Lifer had. As time with Life Mission went on, Lifers accumulated a lot of points.

He gained points at an incredible speed.

He was just sucking up the points.

If he completes the mission, he might never have to worry about points again.

[The number of flying Bomb Ants has been reduced to the hundreds. Tyrant or the Rage guild will jump out soon. You must get ready.]

The Universe Eye searching this area was destroyed, so it was impossible to see inside the hole. However, they had a basic idea of what was going on.

Cha Jun Sung has a couple micro reconnaissance robots as well. Those robots checked the situation inside the hole for him.

Beep beep!

The inside of the hole shows up hazily on the PDA hologram. It was full of dust because of the Bomb Ants’ self-destruction and Lifers’ response. The view is very shaky because of the impact as well.

Papat!

Cha Jun Sung had gotten an understanding of the flow, and left for the battlefield.

He didn’t interfere in the battle, but stood next to the hole in the ground.

“Shall I do some fishing?”
