Cha Jun Sung took a short break in reality, and then entered the mission. He told Park Jin Hyuk’s group that he was doing some traveling for vacation.

They didn’t show any unexpected behavior like offering to go along.

They seemed to want to spend some time relaxing because the long mission they had just gone through had taken a toll.

[One of the helpers will act as you, Cha Jun Sung, in reality.]

Communication isn’t possible in different dimensions.

Many problems can arise while Cha Jun Sung stays in a mission as the Black Devil.

It is strange for someone who said they were going on vacation to be living inside of a mission.

That is why they prepared a replacement to act like Cha Jun Sung and keep in continuous contact with Park Jin Hyuk’s group. This is so that he can focus on just the mission.

“Feels empty.”

Cha Jun Sung looks down at his body.

The battlesuit that had always been there is gone. All he has are his casual clothes, which don’t fit in with the mission.

He put his combat equipment in the space compression bag, and left it in reality. He has come in with his bare body.

Cha Jun Sung gained several privileges through Black Devil.

First, he can summon the space compression bag that he left in reality at any time. If he inputs his locations, it will come flying to him like the mail.

Second, Jigneon made his PDA small. There is a difference in what it can do compared to the watch type, but he can use it as an earpiece. There is no problem for him to stay in contact with Odin even in mutant form. He hears Odin’s voice in his ear instead of from his wrist.

Third, all of the lives he kills are converted into points. Mutants are a given, but even Lifers are counted according to their level. These are distinct from PK points. He can get points for killing, and he can also take the points that they had accumulated. The method of calculation is different.

Fourth, the 8 billion reward points for the Black Devil mission. This goes to Cha Jun Sung if he kills Tyrant. Each level S item is worth billions of points. Cha Jun Sung invested all of the points he got from Deep Sea Teeth to improve his specifications.

Thanks to that, he was even able to get switching gear but it is impossible to cover the disposable items.

He’ll be able to cover the points that go out from disposable items if he completes Black Devil. He can gain a lot of points if he does well.

“You said this is Canada, right? Why did you choose North America as the mission area?”

[It might be just the virtual version, but Lifer Cha Jun Sung spent 10 years in North America. You’re more used to it than the other five continents.]

He is thoroughly satisfied.

There is no place that is more familiar to him, though there are many more places that he has not been to than he has been to because it is so big.

“Do you really think Tyrant will come in? We don’t know when he’ll enter and we don’t know for sure whether he’ll even come or not. Don’t you think we’ll get old and die while waiting for him?”

Cha Jun Sung asked Odin how he knows that Tyrant will enter the Black Devil mission.

This is how Odin responded:

[Tyrant is suffering from insufficient points ever since he became complete.]

[That is why he hunted the Rogue Scorpion Monarch. Even if he is the master of a large guild, he won’t be able to satisfy his ambition once he has opened the level S store. He’s always been extremely ambitious, but it exploded since he surpassed the starting point.]

[What would be the way to gather the points he lacks and to open the level S store? It is advancement. According to an analysis of Tyrant’s actions, the probability that he will try it within a month is over 90%.]

“What about the other 10%?”

[Within two months.]

“Let’s say that’s all true. What’s to say that Tyrant will enter my mission?”

There are 5 advancement missions.

The probability is 20%.

[There’s no need to cling to guarantees. Africa’s cocoon mission is 15 billion. Lifer Cha Jun Sung, would you try it?]

Try it?

Leave an 8 billion point mission to enter one that is worth 15 billion?

They need to be cautious with their first tries. It is stupid to bravely enter the one of the highest difficulty.

“Am I crazy?”

[Tyrant is the same.]

“Even without that, there are four. Then it’s 25%?”

[Where did Tyrant play in the virtual version?]

“South America... Oh! Thinking about it, he’ll be familiar with this place as well.”

Tyrant also conducted his missions in South America.

It is his hometown. The reward points are the same. It is inevitable that his eye will go to this mission more than ones in other continents.

[We didn’t mention North America in the mission description multiple times for no reason. There are additional devices that should make him feel like he should enter. We’re sure that Tyrant will choose this mission.]

Jigneon went somewhere with Borteth.

Borteth followed him because his scheme has already been set and has nothing to worry about. The remaining supervisor is Gabenu. He is filling Jigneon’s empty seat.

As the chief authority on Cha Jun Sung and Tyrant’s Black Devil mission, he is going to subtly twist it to another level A mission in the worst case scenario.

Cha Jun Sung and Tyrant are the only Lifers who are able to enter an advancement mission anyway, so no other Lifers will be disadvantaged even if this happens.

While talking to Odin for a time, he heard an uncomfortable sound in his ear.

Gatecrashers that have come following Cha Jun Sung’s odor.

“I’ll need to put matters related to him aside, and take care of everything in the vicinity.”

Cha Jun Sung’s clothes ripped and his body shows. The Black Devil made its first appearance with an overwhelming aura.

***

Woong!

A summons gate appears and countless Lifers come out.

They look to be over a thousand. It’s a giant group of thousands.

A full core that used the whole level A mission entry limit – 100,000 people.

The Lifers who entered, acted quickly and in unison. They created dozens of round walls in order.

There was a single person standing in the middle of the deepest and smallest wall.

“Master. Nothing in particular seems strange.”

“It is the initial summons area. It’ll be safe, so break the boundaries, spread out, and look around. We need to know where we are before we go.”

Papapat!

Tyrant gave orders with his arms crossed and an arrogant expression on his face.

Then, members of the Rage guild split into groups of 100 to go investigate.

“He he! North America... This is an optimal advancement mission for me.”

He felt it as soon as he saw the description.

Black Devil mission, related to North America where his homeground had been in the virtual version. There was nothing more he would ask for.

‘We’ll get a feel for the difficulty level with this before completing the mission.’

An unknown existence. The mission that Borteth hoping for is of a concerning difficulty. Even if he completes Black Devil now, he doesn’t have any immediate thoughts.

He will make a move once he has considered this and that and decided that it isn’t a loss.

About 30 minutes passed.

The forces in guild Rage return one by one. They are in a small city in northern America.

Ring ring!

Tyrant’s electronic map opens and pinpoints the location his subordinates have given him.

It is a level A item.

He is the only one in the Rage guild with one.

“Should we go north or south.”

Tyrant considers the area south of the point on his electronic map. He can’t split the guild power of 10,000 people in half. action

He has filled up the number of people he can bring in even with the abilities of a complete Lifer, just in case. He has gained the strength to fight against a level 8, but he doesn’t know what could happen.

Circumstances could change. He needed sacrifices that he could use as shields.

A very reliable 10,000 shields.

They will be quicker in finding it if they split up, but it becomes more dangerous.

He isn’t in a rush.

All he has to do is complete the mission even if it takes some time.

With this kind of power, they won’t get pushed back even if they come across a large group of mutants with level 8s in it.

‘I can’t use my precious level S items. This is my life.’

Tyrant feels his space compression bag and smiles in satisfaction. The level S store is a treasure chest. The level A store is as well, but level S is another universe.

He has 20 Universe Eyes that all Rankers know and frequently used as equipment specialized in navigation, but he has no intention of using them.

He won’t do something so unnecessary when he has a mighty labor force in front of him.

‘I need to open level S no matter what. I can do it. I’ll crush everyone. I’ll go beyond Rage and take over Bloody Kingdom.’

Tyrant’s imagination stretched out in his mind. He’s confident that he could take on all of the Rankers in Bloody Kingdom right now, but it isn’t the right time.

He will make them surrender. He can’t have the proper influence if he kills all of them.

‘You too.’

Overload. Life Mission’s strongest. He can’t be taken down with a 9 combination explosive, but it doesn’t matter. All he has to do is break down this wall.

“Have you decided, Master?”

“We’re going north.”

The U.S. is Evil Queen’s territory.

No one except Cha Jun Sung has seen her, but there is fragmentary information. They need to be cautious of even 0.1% danger.

Woong!

Boom boom boom!

Rage guild members go back to a mode of transportation that is as big as several buses combined. Tyrant and the cadres board a tank.

This happens everywhere – chores like driving are left to the underlings.
