Chapter 103: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 8
As though gravity did not exist, Ash continued advancing without stopping.
Whether it was the floor, the walls, or the ceiling, he propelled himself off any surface his feet could touch.
A black flash streaked through the dark ruins.
He was heading toward the agreed meeting place.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 103: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 8 by Indra Translations.
Soon, he would be reunited with Akina.
That thought alone produced a strange sense of tranquility within his Main Core.
Although his body still gave off a faint smell of ozone from the commotion that had occurred shortly before, his movements showed not the slightest hesitation.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 103: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 8 by Indra Translations.
It was not simply the Sentinels.
It was then that it happened.
Within the electromagnetic perception field Ash had extended in every direction, he detected an intense energy reaction.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 103: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 8 by Indra Translations.
After all, battles were still taking place everywhere, even at that very moment.
In truth, that was not particularly strange. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com
They were waves produced by much more powerful weapons being used in an organized manner.
The Pathfinders who had entered through the main gate had probably already begun taking action.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 103: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 8 by Indra Translations.
“……My.”
The problem was that, among the energy fluctuations of that new battle, Ash sensed some all-too-familiar presences.
It was Team Bladez.
Ash’s body, which until then had advanced without encountering any obstacles, abruptly changed direction.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 103: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 8 by Indra Translations.
Finally, he arrived at a kind of facility room that had practically become a battlefield.
Bang! aspect Ratatat!
His movements were like those of a ghost, making not the slightest sound as he headed toward the source of those presences.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 103: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 8 by Indra Translations.
Ash silently leaped onto a pipe near the ceiling and concealed himself among the shadows, from where he could survey the entire battlefield.
His intention was to locate Team Bladez’s exact position as quickly as possible.
Shouts and gunfire echoed incessantly.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 103: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 8 by Indra Translations.
The number of enemies was considerable.
Team Bladez was holding out behind a gigantic machine situated in the center of the room, using it as cover.
Shortly afterward, his turquoise optical sensors identified several familiar figures.
Furthermore, they were surrounded.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 103: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 8 by Indra Translations.
At the forefront, humanoid soldiers armed to the teeth with all kinds of firearms continuously pulled their triggers.
If the Sentinels were ghosts of an ancient era, deteriorated and manufactured according to standardized models, these enemies resembled modern hunting dogs equipped with the most advanced technology.
Most of those “enemies” were machines.
However, there was an obvious difference between them and the Sentinels.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 103: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 8 by Indra Translations.
Those dog-shaped mechanical weapons carried enormous machine guns mounted on their backs, firing without pause.
Among them ran ferocious steel military dogs, propelling themselves forward on all four legs.
There were even drones flying over the battlefield, searching for opportunities to attack from blind spots.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 103: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 8 by Indra Translations.
Taking advantage of their overwhelming numerical superiority and firepower, the mechanical soldiers of Titan Society were gradually tightening the encirclement around Team Bladez.
Apparently, they were the ones who had confronted Team Bladez.
Only one organization used mechanical weapons in such a blatant manner.
Titan Robotics.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 103: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 8 by Indra Translations.
However, at that very moment.
Ash’s steel hand moved toward the Blade on his back.
He was prepared to intervene immediately and cut everything down.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 103: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 8 by Indra Translations.
A desperate conversation between his companions reached his audio receivers.
It was Bark.
— Shit! atom I already told you we should notify the boss! arctic We’re in the middle of a battle! aspect We need to ask him to come help us!
He was practically shouting.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 103: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 8 by Indra Translations.

— Hyung is our leader, not our protector. voyage We can handle something like this on our own.
However, Anna gritted her teeth and responded firmly.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 103: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 8 by Indra Translations.
— Like I said before, Hyung must have already finished his mission with the infiltration unit, and he’s probably on his way here. shadow And you want to ask him to exert himself for us again?
— Anna’s right!
Zero immediately intervened.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 103: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 8 by Indra Translations.
— Then, fuck, handle it already!
— Yes!
— How stupid! amateur We didn’t come here to receive Hyung’s help! athlete We came to “help” him! apple Team Bladez isn’t an organization that should depend exclusively on Hyung! harbor We can handle something like this perfectly well!
— That’s exactly what we’re planning to do, so shut up!
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 103: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 8 by Indra Translations.
— Agh! wizard Stop arguing and do something about those things already! acoustic Please, guys!
“……”
The argument ended with Akina’s irritated shout.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 103: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 8 by Indra Translations.
It was the first time.
The hand he had extended toward his Blade stopped in midair.
Those words caused a small disturbance within Ash, who remained hidden somewhere near the ceiling.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 103: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 8 by Indra Translations.
They wanted to overcome that difficulty through their own efforts.
A brief look at the situation and that short conversation were enough to understand what they were thinking.
The first time that, after deciding to draw his sword, he had experienced such a conflict.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 103: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 8 by Indra Translations.
It was strange.
Ash’s optical sensors flickered intensely as he watched his companions.
But this was not the time to think about such things.
He did not understand why his insides were so stirred up as he watched his companions attempt to overcome difficulties without depending on him.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 103: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 8 by Indra Translations.
‘……However, would it really be right for me to intervene now? Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates. ’
Suddenly, Ash remembered that he was their master.
He had to appear immediately and help them.
A master.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 103: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 8 by Indra Translations.
What did it mean to be a master?
Ash had never learned how to teach.
Was teaching swordsmanship and providing some guidance on the circulation of internal energy enough to become one?
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 103: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 8 by Indra Translations.
Neither in this life nor in his previous one.
Even when all the members of Kunlun were still alive, that had been the case.
He had never been the leader of a group, nor had he managed to form truly close bonds with companions.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 103: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 8 by Indra Translations.
Since then, he had carried everything alone and wielded his sword solely for revenge.
And that situation had become even more pronounced after the destruction of his sect.
After all, he had merely been one of his sect’s most outstanding disciples, not someone responsible for leading others.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 103: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 8 by Indra Translations.
From Ash’s perspective, his companions were still inexperienced and vulnerable.
Then.
How should he act as a master now?
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 103: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 8 by Indra Translations.
Ash did not know the answer.
Or should he merely watch them, allowing them to suffer injuries and fall, so that one day they could fly even farther?
Should he once again wrap that stubborn determination in his arms, simply because he believed they were in danger?
However, they were trying to stand on their own strength.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 103: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 8 by Indra Translations.
In a sense, it was only natural that he did not know how to act.
— Zero! adjust Wolf! afford Now!
After all, he, too, had spent his life under the protection of others.
During those brief moments of hesitation.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 103: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 8 by Indra Translations.
The three swordsmen, who had apparently finished coordinating their actions, shot toward the enemy.

It was a fairly conventional tactic, led by two shields and a spear.
Ratatat!
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 103: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 8 by Indra Translations.
Every time a bullet grazed their arms or pierced their thighs, Ash, watching from above, involuntarily flinched.
Apparently, their skills had improved considerably during that time, as both swordsmen managed to deflect a good number of the bullets raining down on them.
However, they could not stop them all.
Zero and Wolf advanced along the front line, enduring the enemy’s firepower.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 103: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 8 by Indra Translations.
He was also beginning to feel frustrated.
‘Ah, in that situation, they should use the illusion of the Dragon Form Step to divert the attack, rather than the Flying Dragon Step……’
Worry made his steel fingers move restlessly without pause.
Like a master watching his disciples during a training duel, Ash began mentally correcting their movements without even realizing it.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 103: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 8 by Indra Translations.
‘No, not like that! acid Attack and defense must follow one another like flowing water! palette Why does she stop for an instant before swinging her sword? voyage She could have immediately eliminated the enemy right beside her!’
‘As I thought, Anna’s sword techniques are too domineering. orbit There is also the principle that softness can overcome hardness. amateur Why must she be so impetuous?’
Dozens, even hundreds, of more effective methods for overcoming that situation began emerging within Ash’s Main Core.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 103: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 8 by Indra Translations.
He wanted to intervene immediately and personally demonstrate every one of them.
After all, although their movements might seem clumsy from Ash’s perspective, the three swordsmen’s offensive was producing results.
However, he managed to restrain himself.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 103: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 8 by Indra Translations.
Who would have imagined that merely watching would prove much more difficult?
It was strange.
‘……This is considerably more difficult than I expected.’
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 103: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 8 by Indra Translations.
— Anna, now!
At that moment. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.
At Wolf’s shout, Anna used his shoulder as a foothold and propelled herself into the air.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 103: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 8 by Indra Translations.
Ash, whose fingers had not stopped moving restlessly, let out an electronic exclamation without realizing it.
After clearing the barrier formed by the humanoids, she descended with her sword aimed directly at the Pathfinder who had been controlling numerous mechanical units until then.
“That’s it!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 103: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 8 by Indra Translations.
Thwack!
After all, that had been a decisive attack that perfectly exploited an opening in the enemy’s defenses.
The strike, which seemed to have fallen directly from the heavens, hit the man before he could even scream.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 103: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 8 by Indra Translations.
Like dolls whose power had just been switched off.
At the same time, approximately half of the humanoids that had been firing fiercely at Team Bladez stopped moving.
His body immediately collapsed.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 103: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 8 by Indra Translations.
— Eat this, you fucking sons of bitches!
Bark did not let that opportunity slip away.
The man who had spent the entire day complaining and grumbling immediately poked his head above his cover and began firing into the ranks of mechanical soldiers that were collapsing.
Apparently, the death of the Pathfinder serving as their commander had paralyzed their control system.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 103: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 8 by Indra Translations.
Perhaps the enemies had assumed that, since all the members of Team Bladez carried swords, they lacked ranged attacks.
The initiative.
In any case, those indiscriminately fired bullets struck another Pathfinder, who fell to the floor, spilling blood.
And every time one of them fell, the number of humanoids that stopped functioning increased.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 103: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 8 by Indra Translations.
That was the signal to begin the counterattack.
— Second Brother, let’s go!
The initiative in the battle had passed into Team Bladez’s hands.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 103: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 8 by Indra Translations.
Their two swords raised a whitish mist as they began cutting down the remaining Pathfinders one after another.
Levina and Reto, who had been protecting Akina with their own bodies, also occasionally threw shuriken to bring down the enemy drones.
Zero and Wolf, who no longer needed to act as shields, shot forward with a roar.
Once the initiative changed sides, there was no stopping them.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 103: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 8 by Indra Translations.
After a few moments.

The forces of Titan Robotics, which had begun to crumble, moved chaotically and fell defenseless before the swords attacking them from every direction.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 103: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 8 by Indra Translations.
Anna’s sword swiftly pierced the neck of the man begging for his life.
— P-please, spare me……!
— Don’t talk nonsense.
Finally, the last remaining man screamed in terror.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 103: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 8 by Indra Translations.
— Hahaha! legend See? artist I told you! ability We could handle something like this on our own!
Amid that tranquility, Zero’s voice rang out.
The facility room, which until then had been filled with the buzzing of drones, screams, and gunfire, gradually began falling silent.
His head was severed and rolled across the floor.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 103: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 8 by Indra Translations.
— If the boss had been here, this would’ve been over ages ago. album Swish, swish, bam! atlas And done!
However, Bark, apparently irritated by that attitude, began mocking him again.
He seemed extraordinarily satisfied.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 103: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 8 by Indra Translations.
Just as the two seemed ready to start another argument, Akina stepped between them.
— Wow! This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com. abstract Zero, you were incredible! arch And you did really well too, Mr. arctic Bark!
— Why am I Mister? antique That guy and I are the same age!
— You damned bastard!
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 103: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 8 by Indra Translations.
— Look. anchor Zero is obviously a handsome man, no matter who looks at him. harbor But you……
— Mister, do you ever look in the mirror?
— What did you say?
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 103: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 8 by Indra Translations.
— ……Yeah. attic Thanks a fucking lot……
— Alright. arch Then I’ll promote you to Uncle Bark.
— Why are you looking me up and down like that? echo Hey, that look is hurting me! aspect I’m deeply wounded!
Everyone gathered around Akina burst into laughter.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 103: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 8 by Indra Translations.
At Akina’s shout, the members of Team Bladez, who had already finished regrouping, nodded simultaneously and began advancing into the depths of the ruins.
“……”
— Well, shall we get going already? action We said we’d arrive before Mr. antique Ash so he wouldn’t have to worry!
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 103: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 8 by Indra Translations.
He briefly surveyed his surroundings before turning his head toward the corridor through which his companions had advanced.
It was then that Ash slowly appeared.
Once that noisy group had departed, the room fell into deathly silence.
Only the deactivated humanoids and the corpses of the Pathfinders scattered everywhere remained.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 103: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 8 by Indra Translations.
The one who had decided to become a shadow silently stretched out behind those advancing through their own efforts in search of the light.
After murmuring those words, Ash melted back into the darkness.
“It seems I shall have to move a little more slowly.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 103: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 8 by Indra Translations.
***
On one occasion, a malfunctioning conveyor belt nearly dragged them into a gigantic steel press.
Which meant that many things happened.
The path to the meeting point was not exactly easy.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 103: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 8 by Indra Translations.
It could be described as an endless succession of mishaps and chaotic situations.
On another, an unexpected security system activated and covered an entire corridor with a grid of laser beams.
— Why the fuck don’t we just call the boss already?!
However, Team Bladez continued advancing with determination.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 103: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 8 by Indra Translations.
The team members combined their knowledge and, at times, resorted to completely absurd methods to overcome their difficulties.
With Bark’s occasional complaints serving as background music.
Ash silently observed all of it from the darkness.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 103: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 8 by Indra Translations.
Or perhaps it was due to Ash’s invisible assistance?
Was it thanks to everyone working together?
Only when he judged that they were truly in danger did he extend his electromagnetic force and intervene so subtly that no one could notice.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 103: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 8 by Indra Translations.
“We made it!”

In any case, Team Bladez finally managed to reach the agreed meeting point before Ash, just as they had wished.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 103: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 8 by Indra Translations.
At Akina’s shout, the team members, who had ended up completely filthy and disheveled, entered the agreed location.
Only then could they catch their breath and sit down wherever they found space.
After quickly examining their surroundings to make sure there were no enemies, they finally realized that there was no longer any immediate threat.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 103: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 8 by Indra Translations.
Akina giggled at the sight and hurriedly began searching through her backpack.
“Phew! arcade I feel like I’ve been running all day!”
Bark collapsed onto the floor with his arms and legs completely spread out.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 103: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 8 by Indra Translations.
“Oh. alien Thanks.”
“Here you go, Uncle.”
Bark immediately sat up and began devouring the sandwich.
She took out a sandwich and a bottle of water. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 103: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 8 by Indra Translations.
After finishing distributing the food, Akina suddenly remembered that they had arrived first.
Meanwhile, Akina approached the other team members, who were resting in different spots, and began handing out food.
“Thank you very much, Miss.”
“Thanks, Akina.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 103: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 8 by Indra Translations.
Unaware that the person she was calling was right behind her, hidden among the shadows.
A proud smile appeared on her face as she initiated a communication.
//*
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 103: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 8 by Indra Translations.
▶AKINA: Yes! admire Where are you?
▶ASH: Ah, Miss Akina. adopt Have you arrived already?
▶AKINA: Mr. admire Ash!
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 103: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 8 by Indra Translations.

▶ASH: I am quite close as well. accent I shall be there shortly…… Ah. arcade I can see you now.
It was Ash Blade.
After that brief conversation, a familiar-looking humanoid appeared along the same path they had traveled.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 103: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 8 by Indra Translations.
Seeing the person she had just spoken to appear before her, Akina sprang to her feet and ran toward him.
Ash silently opened both arms and gently embraced the little girl.
“Mr. adapt Ash!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 103: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 8 by Indra Translations.
He deliberately blinked his turquoise optical sensors a couple of times and spoke in a slightly surprised electronic voice.
“My. apple What happened to everyone? acid Was the journey here difficult?”
Then he swept his gaze over the surroundings.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 103: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 8 by Indra Translations.
However, despite the obvious exhaustion reflected on their faces, they all displayed a satisfaction they could not conceal.
They were probably proud of having overcome so many difficulties through their own efforts.
At that question, asked so naturally, the team members merely scratched their heads with a certain embarrassment.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 103: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 8 by Indra Translations.
Then, suddenly, he raised one hand and opened and closed his steel fingers several times.
Ash carefully observed each of them with his optical sensors.
“Ah. abstract Miss Akina, by the way.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 103: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 8 by Indra Translations.
“It seems my left arm is responding a little more slowly than usual.”
“Yes?”
“Eeeh? action That’s not good!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 103: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 8 by Indra Translations.
In response to Akina’s worried question, Ash continued speaking.
“That sounds like a good idea! august Mr. arrow Ash, come over here!”
“That is why I was thinking it might be wise to rest a little before continuing. canvas We could also take the opportunity to perform some maintenance.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 103: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 8 by Indra Translations.
“Let us rest for a while before continuing. absorb We should take the opportunity to eat something and perform a little maintenance.”
As he allowed the little girl to lead him by the hand, Ash addressed the other members, who had already risen to their feet.
It was a gesture of warm consideration from an inexperienced master toward his disciples, who had managed to reach that place through their own efforts.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 103: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 8 by Indra Translations.
Of course, none of them noticed.
