Chapter 104: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 9
In that manner, Ash and Akina remained seated beside each other, chatting naturally while the other team members rested in their own ways.
“Huh? zenith But there’s nothing wrong with it.”
Of course, there was absolutely nothing wrong with Ash’s left hand.
“It seems I was mistaken. arrow It is working perfectly again now.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 104: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 9 by Indra Translations.
“……And then, all of a sudden, a whole bunch of guys from Titan Robotics appeared! agent We had no choice but to hide, and……! portal Ah, what happened next?”
And, as expected, the conversation eventually centered on the great adventure Team Bladez had just experienced.
An opportunity to have a leisurely conversation had suddenly presented itself.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 104: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 9 by Indra Translations.
However, Ash did not interrupt her.
And he had witnessed it from a much higher vantage point, with considerably more information at his disposal.
In truth, Ash already knew absolutely everything Akina was telling him.
“My. timber Did something like that really happen?”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 104: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 9 by Indra Translations.
Apparently, Akina was delighted by his reactions, because she continued talking without stopping.
The curious thing was that her account was “slightly” exaggerated.
He simply let out an occasional exclamation of admiration.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 104: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 9 by Indra Translations.
Even enemies that had never existed appeared in her story.
“I’m serious! abstract There were…… at least fifty guys from Titan Robotics! atomic I’m sure there were more than fifty! altitude And if we count the robots, there were probably over a hundred!”
“We also encountered a gigantic Sentinel! beacon It was as big as our Revenant! aspect It had things that looked like Arm Blades on both hands! echo If it hadn’t been for Zero and Anna……!”
For example, the enemy Pathfinders, of whom there had actually been barely fifteen, had suddenly multiplied several times over.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 104: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 9 by Indra Translations.
“And we also had to run along a conveyor belt in some industrial facility! altitude We almost got crushed by a press in the blink of an eye!”
“And you managed to overcome all those dangers on your own? silence Truly impressive, Miss Akina.”
The old conveyor belt, which had actually moved slowly and jerkily, had become an uncontrollable trap.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 104: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 9 by Indra Translations.
However, he did not consider it necessary to point out those exaggerations.
Of course, Ash knew the whole truth.
“……Hehehe! attic Right?”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 104: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 9 by Indra Translations.
Time passed amid that pleasant, relaxed conversation.
He simply let out a quiet laugh while stroking Akina’s head as she continued proudly recounting her exploits. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com
After all, there was no need to do so.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 104: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 9 by Indra Translations.
Finally, when Akina was finishing her account, Ash stood up.
The atmosphere, which until then had been quite relaxed, once again filled with expectant tension.
“Has everyone finished preparing?”
At that small movement, the members of Team Bladez, who had been resting in various places, immediately rose and gathered around him.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 104: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 9 by Indra Translations.
Zero also nodded silently.
“Yes, Hyung. timber We can leave whenever you wish.”
At Ash’s question, Anna was the first to respond.
Ash looked each of them in the eyes.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 104: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 9 by Indra Translations.
The latter, who had somehow managed to obtain a little hair gel, had once again styled his mohawk until it stood completely upright.
Wolf. acquire Levina. orbit Reto.
And, finally, Bark.
Then he gave a thumbs-up.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 104: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 9 by Indra Translations.
“Because we’re back together with the boss! aspect Doesn’t that mean we’re invincible now?”
“Let’s kick their asses!”
“……Why are you so excited?”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 104: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 9 by Indra Translations.
Normally, Zero took every opportunity to mock Bark, even over the most insignificant things.
However, this time he nodded in agreement.
“Oh. canvas What’s gotten into you? athlete Normally, you insult me every time I open my mouth.”
“You’re not wrong.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 104: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 9 by Indra Translations.
“Don’t talk to me.”
“Fuck, but you’re the one who started talking to me!”

His turquoise optical sensors shone as though they could pierce the unknown darkness.
“Very well. arctic Then let us set off.”
At the same time, he turned his body toward the dark, deep corridor stretching westward.
Ash let out a small laugh as he watched those two, who seemed like inseparable friends despite their constant arguments.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 104: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 9 by Indra Translations.
Ash took the first step into the shadows, leading the way.
Behind him, the members of Team Bladez silently followed, united by bonds that seemed to have grown even stronger.
“Toward our destination.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 104: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 9 by Indra Translations.
The Hall of the Anvil.
***
It was the moment their true exploration in search of the Nexus Port began.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 104: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 9 by Indra Translations.
To the north, the facilities for storing and refining raw materials.
According to research conducted by humans fifteen hundred years ago, the Hall of the Anvil was divided into five sectors.
To the east lay the residential area.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 104: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 9 by Indra Translations.
That western sector was precisely the core of the gigantic ruins.
Finally, there was the west.
And in the center stood the hangar where finished weapons were stored.
To the south were the energy supply and waste processing facilities.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 104: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 9 by Indra Translations.
After all, that sector contained the most advanced technologies in the entire complex.
That was why Ash and Akina had decided to head west from the very beginning.
It was the production facilities area, where all components were manufactured and assembled.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 104: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 9 by Indra Translations.
Furthermore, numerous ancient threats were surely still lying dormant in various places.
Naturally, its security systems were the strictest in the facility.
And it was also where the Nexus Port that all the Pathfinders longed to find remained hidden.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 104: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 9 by Indra Translations.
However, Team Bladez had a map.
They even had travel routes specifically designed to allow a small group of people to infiltrate. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.
Or, to use Ash’s words, a treasure map.
Thanks to that, Team Bladez could use ventilation ducts and cable passages unknown to the others, thereby avoiding most of the traps and threats.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 104: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 9 by Indra Translations.
Like a pack of impatient hyenas, they had scattered in every direction, destroying and looting everything they encountered along the way.
The first of those unexpected factors was “other people.”
However, that did not mean unforeseen circumstances could not arise.
The numerous Pathfinders who had stormed into the facilities as soon as the main entrance opened.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 104: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 9 by Indra Translations.
Through their actions, they had awakened the ruins from their prolonged slumber.
Even corridors they could originally have passed through silently were, in many cases, filled with Sentinels that had already entered a state of alert.
As a consequence, alarm systems that might otherwise have remained inactive continued sounding throughout the facilities.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 104: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 9 by Indra Translations.
Some corridors that should have served as shortcuts had been blocked by collapses.
Fifteen hundred years had managed to deteriorate even that steel fortress, which had once seemed indestructible.
The second unexpected factor was “time.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 104: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 9 by Indra Translations.
And then.
For that reason, Team Bladez was forced to constantly modify its original route and make numerous detours.
Others were completely flooded and impossible to traverse.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 104: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 9 by Indra Translations.
“This way. abandon If we pass through this ventilation duct, we can completely avoid the energy control area.”
Team Bladez unexpectedly encountered another commotion.
While traveling along one of those alternative paths.

Then they looked inside.
Following Akina’s directions as she examined her Data Pad, Zero and Anna silently opened the heavy cover of the ventilation duct.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 104: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 9 by Indra Translations.
Finally, after completing all the checks, Anna nodded.
“Looks fine.”
They also carefully checked the floor to make sure there were no sections weakened by the passage of time.
“Perfect. abstract Let us continue.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 104: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 9 by Indra Translations.
Team Bladez advanced in single file, taking care not to make any noise as they ventured into the darkness.
At Ash’s words, the team members began entering the ventilation duct one after another.
However, that was not a major problem, since Ash and Anna possessed night vision.
Its interior was narrow and dark.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 104: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 9 by Indra Translations.
BOOOOM!
It was precisely then that it happened.
From beneath their feet, on the other side of the ventilation duct, numerous screams rang out, accompanied by a deafening explosion.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 104: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 9 by Indra Translations.
Ash immediately protected Akina, who had lost her balance, and ordered the other team members to stop.
The explosion was so powerful that the entire heavy ventilation duct shook violently.
“Whoa!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 104: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 9 by Indra Translations.
Thanks to that, he managed to perceive with extraordinary clarity the enormous open space beneath the ventilation duct.
‘It was not an attack directed at us. arctic Then……’
Then he quickly assessed the situation.
Ash’s electromagnetic perception, charged with a weak magnetic force, extended in every direction.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 104: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 9 by Indra Translations.
There were electromagnetic fluctuations coming from several dozen machines. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.
Apparently, another team of Pathfinders was in a dangerous situation.
And, confronting them, the biological signals of fewer than ten human beings.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 104: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 9 by Indra Translations.
After a few moments.
“Hmm? attic But those are……”
Her eyes widened slightly.
It was then that Anna crouched down and observed what was happening below through a small opening in the floor of the duct.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 104: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 9 by Indra Translations.
“Ah, yes…… I think they’re from Chaka Chaka.”
“Chaka Chaka?”
“Do you recognize those people?”
At that murmur, Ash asked quietly.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 104: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 9 by Indra Translations.
“……”
At those words, Ash personally approached the opening to examine the situation.
The Pathfinders below were fighting a desperate battle against numerous Sentinels.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 104: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 9 by Indra Translations.
“Choi Gyeongsu?”
He distinguished the figure of a man wearing a gas mask and frantically firing a machine gun.
Hearing Ash’s murmur, Akina, who was beside him, asked.
And among them.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 104: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 9 by Indra Translations.
“……Only by sight.”
Choi Gyeongsu.
“Is he someone you know?”
After that brief reply, Ash remained silent for a few moments.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 104: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 9 by Indra Translations.
However, their relationship was extremely superficial.
One of the members of the infiltration unit.
A man who seemed to have some connection to Ifrit and who was a descendant of Electro Punk’s legacy, the company that had manufactured his Bunny Hop legs.
He was certainly someone Ash knew.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 104: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 9 by Indra Translations.
“If this continues, they’ll die.”
And indeed, he was right.
It was then that Zero, who was also observing the situation from above, commented indifferently.

Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 104: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 9 by Indra Translations.
Zero turned his head toward Ash.
His question had a fairly simple meaning.
The situation of those fighting below was completely desperate.
“What shall we do, Hyung?”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 104: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 9 by Indra Translations.
Or ignore them and continue advancing?
That was the decision he was asking Ash to make.
Ash could not answer immediately.
Should they rescue them?
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 104: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 9 by Indra Translations.
Getting involved in an unforeseen situation would only mean wasting time and resources, as well as posing a potential danger to the entire team.
In fact, that situation could prove convenient for them.
After all, Team Bladez’s objective was still the Nexus Port.
If he considered only the benefits, the correct answer was to ignore them.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 104: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 9 by Indra Translations.
However.
If those people continued causing such a commotion, Team Bladez could at least pass through that area without too much difficulty.
Choi Gyeongsu was a fairly decent person.
However, there was something deep within Ash that prevented him from making that decision.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 104: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 9 by Indra Translations.
Frankly, finding such a person in Sanctum was not exactly easy.
Furthermore, he belonged to an ethnic minority and had an appearance reminiscent of the inhabitants of the Central Plains.
Regardless of his relationship with Ifrit, he was someone who possessed a minimum of kindness and common sense.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 104: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 9 by Indra Translations.
Would it really be right to ignore such a person and all his companions while they died before his eyes?
If he had been acting alone, he would have made a decision immediately.
Ash could not find an answer.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 104: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 9 by Indra Translations.
And that was precisely what worried him most.
It was then that Akina, who had been silently watching him as he reflected, commented naturally.
“You want to help them, don’t you? anchor Then do it.”
However, he was now accompanied by the members of his team.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 104: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 9 by Indra Translations.
“……We have no reason to do so. anchor No reason to help them.”
His optical sensors flickered for a few moments as he gazed at Akina. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.
At those brief words, Ash slowly turned his head.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 104: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 9 by Indra Translations.
Akina smiled broadly.
“You’re a wandering hero, aren’t you? alert A brave and generous person with a strong sense of justice.”
“Come on! galaxy What does that matter?”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 104: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 9 by Indra Translations.
“And I’m an aspiring wandering heroine.”
The soot staining her cheeks made her smile seem even brighter.
“If someone is in danger, especially if it’s someone you know, naturally we should save them. meadow Don’t you think?”
“Hmm?”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 104: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 9 by Indra Translations.
It was a truly pure and sincere answer.
“Does everyone agree?”
After gazing at Akina for a few moments, he turned his head toward his companions.
And that simple answer rendered all the calculations and conflicts that had occupied Ash’s mind insignificant.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 104: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 9 by Indra Translations.
At that extraordinarily materialistic idea, Anna let out an exasperated sigh. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.
“Let’s save them and then charge them for the rescue! crystal How about an unlimited pass to use Chaka Chaka’s services? album Ta-da! academy Now we have a reason!”
Surprisingly, the first to respond was Bark.

Shortly afterward, Zero nodded silently toward Ash.
However, no one objected.
Zero simply looked away, as though he considered those words unworthy of even a response.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 104: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 9 by Indra Translations.
“Hyung, you don’t need to consult us about every decision. agent If that is your will, we will simply follow it.”
“……I see. echo Understood.”
As though Zero’s words represented everyone’s feelings, the members of Team Bladez nodded simultaneously.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 104: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 9 by Indra Translations.
He watched what was happening beneath the ventilation duct for a few moments.
Ash’s optical sensors glowed faintly.
Finally, he made a decision.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 104: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 9 by Indra Translations.
Ash raised one of his feet, equipped with Bunny Hop, and brought it down against the thick steel plate forming the floor of the ventilation duct.
At that brief order, all the members of Team Bladez drew their respective weapons.
“Prepare for battle.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 104: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 9 by Indra Translations.
Choi Gyeongsu gritted his teeth.
***
“Ugh……!”
CRAAASH!
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 104: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 9 by Indra Translations.
And behind him, he could hear his companions’ terrified breathing.
The column he was using as cover was already half destroyed.
The barrel of the machine gun he had been firing without pause was completely red-hot.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 104: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 9 by Indra Translations.
Just as he was replacing the overheated barrel of his machine gun, preparing to fight to the death.
CRAAASH!
It was a desperate situation.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 104: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 9 by Indra Translations.
Choi Gyeongsu, the Chaka Chaka Pathfinders fighting alongside him, and the Sentinel Walkers attacking them all raised their heads simultaneously.
“……Huh?”
A terrible crash echoed from the ceiling.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 104: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 9 by Indra Translations.
The first to land was an enormous humanoid carrying a little girl in his arms.
Eight dark figures were falling from above.
Between the enormous steel plates.
Through the partially destroyed ventilation duct.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 104: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 9 by Indra Translations.
At that strange appearance, the nearest Sentinel Walker lunged threateningly toward him.
Slash!
However, that was all.
Despite his gigantic steel body, he descended gently until he touched the ground without making the slightest sound, as though he weighed no more than a feather.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 104: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 9 by Indra Translations.
“Yes!”
“I shall return in a moment.”
Ash calmly withdrew the Blade he had just swung and only then carefully lowered Akina from his arms.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 104: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 9 by Indra Translations.
“My, my friend. admire It seems we meet again.”
Then he turned his head toward Choi Gyeongsu.
“……Ash? alien Is that you, Ash?”
“Wait a moment. academy We shall talk afterward.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 104: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 9 by Indra Translations.
Choi Gyeongsu lifted his gas mask.
Before his deep electronic voice had finished echoing, Ash’s body was already moving again.
He charged completely alone into the center of the crowd of Sentinels and began unleashing a merciless storm of sword strikes.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 104: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 9 by Indra Translations.
And simply stood motionless, watching with an astonished expression as the one-sided massacre unfolded before his eyes.
