Chapter 100: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 5
Ash walked silently at the rear of the formation.
The drainage duct was shrouded in silence.
At some point, the gunfire and explosions had faded away. galaxy Now, only the occasional drops of water falling from the cracks and the sound of cautious footsteps could be heard.
However, that was only how things appeared from the outside.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 100: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 5 by Indra Translations.
After all, he had extended his electromagnetic perception in every direction to prepare for anything unexpected.
For example, that everyone was communicating with someone.
Even at that very moment, his Main Core was processing enormous amounts of information at high speed.
Thanks to that, he could perceive certain things.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 100: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 5 by Indra Translations.
He was only capable of distinguishing the shape, density, and direction of their flows.
In that world of electromagnetic forces he had only recently discovered, encrypted communication signals took precisely that appearance to his senses.
Those communications resembled extremely fine threads of light.
He could neither know their contents nor identify their recipients.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 100: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 5 by Indra Translations.
For example, Velma.
There was not just one signal coming from her Cyberbrain.
However, that alone constituted an extraordinarily valuable source of information.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 100: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 5 by Indra Translations.
Furthermore, since it flickered constantly, he seemed to be exchanging only essential information.
Ifrit’s thread was a little peculiar.
That meant she was communicating with several people simultaneously.
By contrast, Chad had only one thread.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 100: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 5 by Indra Translations.
She was probably continuously storing video recordings in her broadcasting drones.
Instead of extending outward, it circulated chaotically around her body.
He had heard that the Outer was a place where no one could be trusted.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 100: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 5 by Indra Translations.
His optical sensors gleamed.
Suddenly.
‘Hmm?’
However, discovering that everyone had begun acting according to their own interests as soon as they entered the facilities was as unsettling as it was interesting.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 100: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 5 by Indra Translations.
Those signals were directed at each other.
Assault-3, from Apex, and Vlaki, an independent Pathfinder.
It was because of the signals being exchanged by the two men leading the formation and using mapping drones to guide the group.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 100: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 5 by Indra Translations.
Why use private communications when they could speak directly?
‘……They are plotting something.’
Seven Pathfinders had gathered to deactivate the energy source of the main entrance.
Did they need to converse in secret, without the others hearing them?
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 100: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 5 by Indra Translations.
However, the reality was very different.
That long, dark space was filled with an invisible web of conspiracies.
The drainage duct through which they were advancing seemed extraordinarily peaceful.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 100: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 5 by Indra Translations.
Not even Ash knew what they would find at the ends of those threads.
“Bunny Hop, huh? atlas It’s the first time I’ve seen a pair installed on someone.”
For the moment, he could only trust the cold sensation of the Blade he held in his hand.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 100: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 5 by Indra Translations.
It was then that someone addressed him.
‘Chaka Chaka Industries…… correct?’
Ash observed him for a few moments before replying in his deep electronic voice.
It was a man wearing an old gas mask.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 100: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 5 by Indra Translations.
“Are you familiar with this model?”
“They don’t seem to be out of control…… Did you develop some special operating system to control them?”
The man nodded.
Then he spoke in a voice with a peculiar accent, slightly muffled by the gas mask.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 100: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 5 by Indra Translations.
“I simply learned to use them. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com meadow With my own body.”
“Huh? airport You don’t? anxiety Then how the hell……?”
“I have nothing of the sort.”
“How?”

“Ah. riddle Now that you mention it, we haven’t even properly introduced ourselves.”

“By the way, I believe I have yet to hear your name.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 100: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 5 by Indra Translations.
With a small sound, the rubber seal came away from his face.
The man removed his gas mask.
Click.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 100: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 5 by Indra Translations.
An inexplicable sadness and a penetrating intelligence coexisted within it.
Unlike the Pathfinders who dyed their hair countless colors or covered their faces with mechanical implants, this man had completely black hair.
The face revealed beneath it was considerably different from those of most Sanctum citizens.
His face, with its pronounced features, bore the marks of passing years.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 100: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 5 by Indra Translations.
His black eyes, whose depth seemed impossible to determine.
The man spoke in a deep, resonant voice, though with a slightly unusual accent.
However, there was something that attracted even more attention.
“My name is Choi Gyeongsu. album You saved my life earlier. adopt Thank you.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 100: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 5 by Indra Translations.
Observing that reaction, the middle-aged man named Choi Gyeongsu gave a small smile.
Ash’s optical sensors blinked briefly.
“……Choi Gyeongsu?”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 100: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 5 by Indra Translations.
Was this the first time he had seen a face like that?
“Looks like this is your first time seeing someone from an ethnic minority.”
Ash remained silent for a few moments.
No.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 100: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 5 by Indra Translations.
Not exactly.
He had gazed upon faces like that for several decades.
Did it seem familiar?
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 100: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 5 by Indra Translations.
Because his general features closely resembled those of a person from the Central Plains.
In this world of steel, his appearance felt extraordinarily out of place. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.
Ash hesitated for a few moments, unsure whether he should consider that appearance familiar or unfamiliar.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 100: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 5 by Indra Translations.
“Ah. atom It’s nothing special.”
Finally, he decided to change the subject.
“By the way, how do you know these legs so well? silence As I understand it, this model was released quite some time ago.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 100: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 5 by Indra Translations.
“……Your father designed them? abandon Then, do you perhaps belong to Electro Punk……?”
“Hahaha. altitude Electro Punk. beacon It’s been a long time since I heard that name.”
“It’s just that my father was the one who designed that model.”
Choi Gyeongsu’s expression turned bitter.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 100: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 5 by Indra Translations.
“That’s right. sphere Although you could also say I don’t. palette After all, that name no longer exists.”
Choi Gyeongsu nodded.
Ash briefly recalled something Santa had told him.
— They’re called Bunny Hop. acquire They’re the masterpiece of Electro Punk, a company specializing in Cyberware that disappeared during the Corporate War.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 100: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 5 by Indra Translations.
Ash reflected for a few moments on what he should say.
Those words passed through his Main Core.
The Corporate War.
Finally, he gave his legs a light tap.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 100: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 5 by Indra Translations.
Then he let out a bitter laugh, although he also seemed to feel a certain relief.
“They are the best legs I have ever used.”
At those words, Choi Gyeongsu was momentarily speechless.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 100: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 5 by Indra Translations.
It was then that a high-pitched, piercing voice interrupted them.
“What’s this? academy Have you two already become friends?”
“My father would have been so happy to hear that.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 100: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 5 by Indra Translations.
“Are you still livestreaming even in a situation like this?”
Ash let out a faint sigh.
The woman raised two fingers in a V sign in front of the drone hovering around her, making sure Ash and Choi Gyeongsu appeared behind her.
It was Ifrit.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 100: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 5 by Indra Translations.
“It’s a vlog.”
“I’m not livestreaming.”

“Then?”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 100: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 5 by Indra Translations.
Ifrit winked at him.
Ifrit gave Choi Gyeongsu a light nudge and spoke to him familiarly.
“We’re too far from Sanctum, so we can’t transmit the data in real time. abstract I’ll edit the video later and upload it. silence Besides, these kinds of behind-the-scenes scenes are usually really popular.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 100: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 5 by Indra Translations.
Ash looked back and forth between them.
“So stop making that face. arch Every time I see you, you look like you’re at a funeral!”
“Hahaha.”
“And do something about that laugh of yours. riddle You sound like someone who’s already given up on everything.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 100: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 5 by Indra Translations.
Choi Gyeongsu gave a faint smile.
“I’ll always be grateful to you for that.”
“It seems you know each other.”
“Of course. sphere After all, I’m Chaka Chaka’s only advertising model.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 100: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 5 by Indra Translations.
“Hahaha. admire President? galaxy Don’t exaggerate. palette I just run a small workshop.”
“There you go again! athlete Why do you always act like that when you’re supposed to be the company president? amateur Straighten your back and walk with pride!”
At that moment.
“What? academy Chaka Chaka used to be Electro Punk?”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 100: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 5 by Indra Translations.
It was Assault-3, from Apex.
A voice that was impossible to identify as human or mechanical suddenly interrupted the conversation.
Choi Gyeongsu’s expression immediately hardened.
“I suppose cockroaches have quite a long lifespan. abstract I was sure we’d exterminated all of you a long time ago.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 100: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 5 by Indra Translations.
“What the hell is this damned pile of scrap talking about? orbit What a pain.”
At the same time, Ifrit growled as she glared at the cyborg who had modified practically his entire body with mechanical components.
“Tell that damned third-rate Idol to get lost.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 100: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 5 by Indra Translations.
“So, when do we get to devour Chaka Chaka? airport Have you gathered any worthwhile technologies yet?”
Assault-3 approached with long strides, his red optical sensors, embedded across the entire surface of his face, gleaming intensely.
Ifrit shouted furiously and was about to aim her Dragon Breath at him when Ash stopped her and took a step forward.
“You damned bastard……!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 100: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 5 by Indra Translations.
His electronic voice sounded indifferent.
Then he looked directly into Assault-3’s optical sensors.
“Do you not think a guide should be looking forward rather than backward?”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 100: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 5 by Indra Translations.
However, it possessed a firmness comparable to steel.
After all, he had just remembered the scene in which Ash had destroyed a mountain of rubble with a single attack.
“……Stay out of this, buddy.”
Assault-3 flinched slightly.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 100: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 5 by Indra Translations.
“How much farther out of the way would you like me to be? afford I am already walking at the rear.”
“By the way.”
“Shit! Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com. athlete That’s not what I meant……!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 100: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 5 by Indra Translations.
“How am I supposed to pronounce your name?”
“Assault…… Three? apron Or Number Three? sphere I have never heard such a strange name.”
“……What?”
Ash discreetly positioned himself between Choi Gyeongsu and Assault-3 as he continued speaking.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 100: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 5 by Indra Translations.
Ash’s voice contained not the slightest malice.
“It’s Assault-Three!”
On the contrary, he seemed to be asking a question motivated by completely sincere curiosity.
And that was precisely why it was even more irritating.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 100: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 5 by Indra Translations.
Ash took a step forward.
“Very well. absorb Assault-Three.”
Ash’s turquoise optical sensors, gazing down at him from above, emitted an icy glow.
As his enormous mechanical body approached, a shadow fell over Assault-3’s head.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 100: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 5 by Indra Translations.
“……”

A chilling sensation ran through Assault-3’s entire body.
“Stop provoking others with foolishness and concentrate on the mission. anxiety Have you already forgotten why we gathered here?”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 100: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 5 by Indra Translations.
Faced with that icy pressure, resembling killing intent, he involuntarily stepped backward.
After blurting out that curse as though he had suffered a spasm, he turned around irritably.
“Shit!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 100: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 5 by Indra Translations.
Once that tense situation came to an end, Choi Gyeongsu addressed Ash quietly.
Assault-3 did everything he could to ignore the electronic voice he heard behind him.
“Then please continue your hard work, Assault-Three.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 100: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 5 by Indra Translations.
“Thank you.”
“……Hmm? antenna Of course.”
“Are you truly grateful?”
Ash shrugged and gave his legs a light tap.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 100: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 5 by Indra Translations.
“I will.”
Finally, he gave a faint smile and nodded. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.
At those words, Choi Gyeongsu’s eyes wavered briefly.
“If you truly wish to thank me, you could inspect these legs later. beacon I have the impression that the left one responds a little more slowly than normal. anxiety Although it does not appear to be a neural network problem.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 100: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 5 by Indra Translations.
As though the previous altercation had never occurred, silence once again took hold of the drainage duct.
And amid that tranquility.
After that brief exchange, the infiltration unit, which had momentarily stopped, resumed its advance.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 100: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 5 by Indra Translations.
Cracks began appearing between the members of that hastily assembled infiltration unit.
How long had they been walking?
***
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 100: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 5 by Indra Translations.
Finally, at the end of the long, dark drainage duct, they found a gigantic armored door blocking their path.
Velma took out her Data Pad and manipulated several options.
“I’m going to begin the Deep Dive.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 100: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 5 by Indra Translations.
She briefly swept her gaze over those present before finally stopping on Ash.
“You and Chad will be the Main Assaults.”
Then she removed the glasses she had been wearing all that time and put them in her breast pocket.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 100: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 5 by Indra Translations.
Ash approached Velma.
While Mr. acid Chad nodded.
“Alright.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 100: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 5 by Indra Translations.
Without her glasses, her smile seemed slightly softer than before.
Velma let out a small giggle.
“How interesting. adapt Do you trust me?”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 100: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 5 by Indra Translations.
“Because we both belong to Trinity. wizard Even if we don’t have a personal relationship, there are relationships between our corporations, don’t you think?”
“Then why?”
“Of course not.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 100: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 5 by Indra Translations.
The woman, who wore her long hair tied back, approached Ash and spoke almost in a whisper.
“Hmm. amber Then I’ll change my explanation.”
“Relationships between corporations, you say? riddle It seems you have forgotten something. advance I am Foundation’s Ambassador. arcade That means I do not belong to the corporation.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 100: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 5 by Indra Translations.
“Let’s consider it the beginning of a personal relationship.”
At those words, which seemed to carry a certain seductive insinuation, Ash slowly turned around.
Then he drew his Blade and spoke quietly.
“……”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 100: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 5 by Indra Translations.
Velma’s eyes narrowed with obvious interest.
“It seems you still do not understand.”
“What?”
“Our relationship has already begun.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 100: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 5 by Indra Translations.
“Since the moment I awakened in that scrapyard.”

“Since when?”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 100: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 5 by Indra Translations.
Faced with that enigmatic response, Velma tilted her head slightly, bewildered.
“Do what you must do. riddle I shall do what I must as well.”
Ash turned his head slightly and glanced sideways at Velma.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 100: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 5 by Indra Translations.
Velma gazed at Ash’s broad back for a few moments.
However, Ash did not look at her again.
“……”
Finally, she connected a cable to the port at the back of her neck.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 100: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 5 by Indra Translations.
Chad and Ash remained silently watching their surroundings while protecting Velma, whose body floated due to the levitation phenomenon.
Her eyes immediately lost focus, and her body began floating gently in the air, like a doll from which all strength had been removed.
Was that the true ability of Omni-Cell’s Chief Technomancer?
In any case, the procedure did not take too long.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 100: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 5 by Indra Translations.
The armored door blocking the infiltration unit’s path began opening, accompanied by a strange creaking sound.
Creeeeak!
After a few minutes.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 100: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 5 by Indra Translations.
A corridor covered in dust.
Finally, the Hall of the Anvil revealed its interior. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.
And their first impression was simply that of a silent corridor.
Without any movement.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 100: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 5 by Indra Translations.
“Perfect!”
Assault-3 clapped his hands together and spoke enthusiastically.
Without any apparent threat.
Then he was the first to peer through the doorway.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 100: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 5 by Indra Translations.
However, the corridor remained surprisingly silent.
“Hmm. matrix It’s pretty quiet.”
“……Seems that way.”
Vlaki also craned his neck to look inside.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 100: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 5 by Indra Translations.
BEEEEEP!
Because just as both of them finished passing through the door.
But, as the saying goes, one should not tempt fate.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 100: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 5 by Indra Translations.
The red lights on the ceiling began flashing, bathing the entire corridor in an intense crimson glow.
A deafening alarm began echoing everywhere.
“W-what the hell?!”
And then.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 100: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 5 by Indra Translations.
A distorted mechanical voice emerged from the ancient speakers.
— Unauthorized organisms must immediately cease their vital functions and……
— Warning. harbor Warning.
— Unauthorized organisms have been detected intruding into Sector 7.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 100: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 5 by Indra Translations.
If a Technomancer had opened the armored door through a Deep Dive, why was the alarm system still functioning?
That was strange.
Before the announcement could finish playing, hundreds of Sentinel Walkers began emerging from the walls and ceiling.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 100: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 5 by Indra Translations.
Sensing that anomaly, Ash turned his head toward Velma.
“My.”
“What have you done?”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 100: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 5 by Indra Translations.
However, despite those words, a satisfied smile adorned her lips.
She simply took her glasses out of her breast pocket and began cleaning them with absolute composure.
Velma remained completely calm.
“It seems I failed to bypass the alarm system.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 100: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 5 by Indra Translations.
Her eyes shone with an innocence as unsettling as that of a little girl eagerly awaiting a present.
Her gaze turned toward Ash.
“I suppose we’ll have no choice but to fight our way through, will we?”
