"Ah….."

It is unbelievable even after seeing the atrocity with his own eyes. It is a force that left with vigor, but they plummeted within moments.

Where did it go wrong?

Right, it was from then. It started getting twisted once they met that Lifer. He brought them here.

A Lifer whose whole body was pierced with dozens of odd looking tentacles is writhing in pain. It made holes in the battle suit itself.

The tentacles suck something in. His helmet was ripped off by the strong hit, and the Lifer's exposed middle-aged bare face is shriveling as though he is growing older.

The strength he gained from body modifications disappears. He looks healthy on the outside because of how large the battle suit is, but the Lifer is hollow as the life is being sucked out of him. He died with just his skin left behind.

"Ha… Good. So good! There really is a taste to bothering humans!"

She is red. Red like blood. 8 legs, resembling a spider, a lower body the size of a 3 story building contrary to a normally sized beautiful woman's upper body - a peculiar appearance that distinguishes her from common mutants. A strange and inexplicable aura comes from this red spider woman.

She is Evil Queen's youngest daughter, Princess of Fresh Blood Odelia.

"Eh eh….."

"I was worrying because the number of humans living in my area had decreased drastically, but it was a blessing that you all appeared! You have a lot of vitality too!"

They are weird humans who started appearing a few years ago. They are different from the weak ones. They do not pose a threat, but they fight.

There is fun in torturing them. The humans living in the empty buildings and bunkers in her area are so boring they make her yawn. They die of things like heart attacks just from something small like having an arm or leg cut off. But these special humans do not die easily even under torture.

Their blood is good quality too, so it was excellent for replenishing her nutrients.

About 10 to 100 people go around together, but her energy consumption is low even if she fights all of those numbers at the same time.

Odelia only came face to face with Lifers a few times.

She just listened to what Evil Queen and her 3 sisters told her. But starting not too long ago, she was able to come across Lifers periodically. These strange humans, Lifers, were not easily visible. That is why she used her head. Since she cannot find them, she will make them come to her.

"Ho ho. Good job. I'll ask you to keep doing a good job. You know what happens if you don't listen, right?"

Odelia looks behind her as she speaks. A Lifer is leaning on the wall and looking at her. His eyes are empty. He does not seem like a person who is alive.

"… How much more do we have to do this crap for you to let us go?"

Odelia smiled, baring her sharp red teeth, instead of speaking. The Lifer wanted to rip that face apart, but held back.

He does not have the strength or ability to rip her face apart, and he cannot run away.

The moment he runs away, Odelia will kill his only sibling.

Papat!

Lifers who were watching for an opportunity realized that they could no longer deal with it and ran away. It just so happened that Odelia was talking to the Lifer who brought them to this place. They cannot save their strength. If they put their battle suits in maximum output and run away through the sky, she will not be able to follow them because she does not have wings.

"Where are you going?"

The thick fur on her spider body extend to hundreds of meters and tie up the Lifers who are running away. Their movements are so slow she yawns.

"Let go! Let me go!"

"Sa - save me! You crazy bastard! You're a Lifer too! Fight! Ack!"

Odelia did not kill the noisy Lifers, but settled with binding them up. She choked them and knocked them out since she cannot block their mouths. The Lifer watched this and closed his eyes. This is a nightmare.

"At least let my brother go! Aren't I enough? Please!"

"No."

The man grinds his teeth. His brother is being held prisoner by Odelia. He escorted Lifers to Odelia in exchange for sparing his brother's life.

Until now, he repeated this 6 times. Hundreds of people died in this pain. He will not be able to repent for these sins even in death. If hell exists, he will probably go there. He killed other people in order to save his brother.

'How…..'

It was a 5000 point level D mission. He had entered with a light heart.

He was going to help his brother grow because he is a level C Lifer, but they absurdly ran into Odelia. He thought it was a dream. It does not make sense.

There are degrees to special missions. There is an extremely low probability of entering a level D mission and running into a level 8 mutant. Even a dream would be terrible, but this is reality.

'If there is a god, please save us…"

He cried out to god inside. There is no god in this world.

"Damn! Not here."

Cha Jun Sung arrived in Dallas. He had been delayed on his way while helping other Lifers, but it had not taken long. Did it take about 2 weeks?

When he arrived, he settled his heart and focused on finding Odelia.

The first place he went was where he discovered Odelia in the virtual version. It would be nice to find her in one try, but it looks like it will not be so easy.

"Ah! Am I going to have to search through all of Texas at this rate? What a pain."

Texas is one of America's 51 states. It cannot be underestimated. Just one state is 7 times the size of Korea. The scale alone is different.

Texas is a problem but what if Odelia is in northern, eastern, or western America unlike in the virtual version? He is going crazy just thinking about it.

He needs to move thousands of kilometers, but it won't get that far.

The first summons area is always in the vicinity where the mutants are presumed to be. The criteria for this vicinity is decided on mission level.

Even if it is level A, they would not separate them into poles.

Accordingly, there is a high probability that Odelia is somewhere in this wide Texas encompassing Houston where he first started out and Dallas where he ended up.

'Oriax, can you find her?'

[You would have felt her too if she were close. There's really no need to ask me.]

The two of them share their senses. Cha Jun Sung had just asked himself.

He wants to absorb a high level mutant like he did in Public Underground to find out, but even that is difficult because Odin is watching him. He is in the middle of a level A mission. It is not a situation in which he can turn off his PDA. He needs to maintain his logged in state even if it is just to see the electronic map.

"Where do I find this crazy bitch?"

Ack!

Odelia!

Cha Jun Sung maximized his battle suit's microphone and yelled. He would like it if she got caught like this, but Odelia is not in Dallas.

If he yells, his throat will just hurt. There are a lot of mutants as it is a large city.

They noticed his presence and went at him little by little, but they were handled with a few cuts.

At this rate, there could be a level 7. Of course he cannot be sure.

"Whew! There's a lot of time. We'll meet at some point if I keep digging around. It doesn't have to be Odelia. Anyone, get caught. I'll take care of you."

The mission he is in is at such a high level that a special mission does not form no matter what mutant he meets.

This process is included in Path of Blood.

But the mission will change automatically if he meets a stronger mutant like one of her sisters, so going after this is another method.

He does not care which of the 4 sisters he meet, but he wants to avoid the 2nd daughter if he can. She is strong. The 1st and 3rd are perfect.

"Come to think of it, it's weird. There isn't a mission related to the 3rd daughter."

Cha Jun Sung organized the expected level 8s by mission as he went through the list of level A missions before entering Path of Blood. It was not difficult.

It was like Europe's Inferno, Medusa, and Titan, and Asia's Red Eye and Dragon.

The mutants he is familiar with are the subjects of level A missions. If it is North America, it must be Evil Queen's 4 daughters and a few other level 8s, but only the 3rd daughter was nowhere to be seen.

Benukiz of Depravity.

That is Odelia's 3rd sister.
