Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6
When Ash struck down the last group of guards, a chilling silence descended upon the lobby.
It was difficult to believe that, barely a minute earlier, that place had been filled with gunfire and screams.
A man fell to the ground, letting out one final scream of agony.
“Gaaah!”

Severed fragments of Cyberware scattered everywhere.
“We’ve finished clearing the area. abandon Shall we continue?”
Those were the only things filling Club Inferno’s lobby.
Blood and chunks of flesh.

— The fastest route to the VIP room is through the main stage and along the staff-only corridor to reach the private rooms.
As he watched the drops of blood falling from the tip of his sword, Ash recalled the conversation they had held in the hideout before departing.
— Is the Room of Contemplation located there?
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
— According to the information I’ve obtained, yes.
‘So now the second phase begins.’

‘The damned chip, the chip, the chip! afford Fuck, what the hell is so special about that piece of shit?’

At that moment, he was in the DJ booth, located at the highest point of the main stage.
Jack Five was in a very bad mood.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
The mere sight of them from above seemed to irritate him even more, as Jack Five frowned deeply.
They were sewer rats who had come running after catching the scent of money.
There, around a hundred mercenaries and Ninjas stood scattered haphazardly across the entire dance floor.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.

‘To think I used to travel from one end of the Outer to the other as a Pathfinder…… How the hell did I end up sinking into this sewer, working as a mere subordinate?’

Upon reaching that thought, his irritation doubled.

He abruptly rose from the sofa, walked over to the DJ booth, and grabbed the microphone.
His hoarse voice thundered through the speakers.
“Looks like almost everyone’s here, so let’s get started! afford Come on, come on! absorb Shut the fuck up! accent I’m going to explain what you have to do!”
At that sound, the mercenaries who had been murmuring until then fell silent.

Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
At that order, the employee hurriedly operated the console.
Shortly afterward, images of five people and one humanoid appeared on the gigantic screen behind the main stage.
“Put up the photographs.”

A dull boom rang out.
BOOM!
It was precisely at that instant.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
The impact was so powerful that it made the entire main stage tremble slightly.
The noise continued for quite some time.
Listening closely, it even seemed as though occasional gunshots could be heard.
“What the hell?”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
Slash!
One of them was about to open it to check what was happening outside when……
“Hey! meadow Somebody go out and see what’s happening! abstract What son of a bitch dares to make such a racket while I’m giving instructions?!”
At that hoarse voice echoing through the speakers, a couple of mercenaries near the entrance to the main stage headed toward the soundproof door.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.

A strange tearing sound echoed through the air, followed by a jet of red blood that spurted like a fountain.
“Fuck, what the……?”
The mercenary who had opened the door fell to the ground without even having time to scream.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
The lobby lights, relatively brighter than those of the main stage, illuminated them from behind and enveloped them in a kind of halo.
There stood six humanlike silhouettes, lined up side by side.
All of them held swords.
Every gaze turned toward the soundproof door.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.

He was the one who spoke.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
This time, the individual wearing a tiger mask intervened.

“No wonder it seemed to me that there were very few enemies in the lobby. arrow It turns out they were all gathered here.”
“Much better. artist This way, we can deal with all of them at once.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
“There aren’t as many as I expected. autumn It seems that, just as you said, attacking first was the best option.”
And Jack Five did not like that calmness in the slightest.
That conversation unfolded with absolute calm.
The carefree attitude of those intruders, who seemed to attach no importance whatsoever to either him or his men, finally enraged him.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
“Do you not recognize us when you see us?”
He simply gestured with his chin toward the screen in front of them.
The humanoid was the one who answered that shout, which sounded more like a reprimand.
“Who the hell are you?!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
Only then did he understand who those unexpected visitors were.
The photographs of the six targets he had displayed moments earlier were still there.

“HAHAHAHAHAHA!”
Then he burst into such thunderous laughter into the microphone that it seemed the speakers were about to burst.
Faced with that completely absurd situation, Jack Five was left speechless for a few moments.
The targets they were supposed to capture had come of their own free will.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
At Jack Five’s shouts, everyone filling the main stage gripped their respective weapons.
“Looks like things are going to be easier than expected! ability Hey, you sons of bitches! legend It’s them! attic Those are the damned targets you have to face!”
After laughing for quite some time, his eyes gleamed with killing intent.

However, the swordsmen who had been standing in front of the entrance had already disappeared.
“What? silence Where did they……?”
“Fire! apron Kill them all!”
As though that order had been a signal, the crowd packed into the main stage raised their firearms and aimed at the six swordsmen.

Both Jack Five and everyone present were bewildered.
“Gaaah!”

“— Aaaah!”
“— Behind us! acid He’s behind……! admire Gah!”

And that was only the beginning.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
The mercenaries ran from one side to the other, unable even to determine where they should aim or what they were supposed to shoot at.
“D-Damn it! alien The lights! crystal Turn on all the fucking lights! auction Right now!”
And meanwhile, lives continued to be extinguished.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
However, from that moment onward, the confusion multiplied.
At Jack Five’s shouts, the employee in the DJ booth hurriedly operated the console.

After all, the lights installed in a nightclub, especially on its main stage, served a completely different purpose from conventional lighting.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
It was true that the darkness had disappeared.
But what had taken its place was a veritable storm of lights that made it even harder to see.
The moving spotlights and laser units began sweeping around frantically, while the strobe lights flashed incessantly at their maximum intensity.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
The stage had suddenly become a living hell.
“Fire! afford Shoot anything that moves!”

Under that dazzling illumination, those who were struck down let out screams of agony.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
“Over there! apron He moved over there!”
They did not even attempt to distinguish whether their bullets were aimed at their comrades or their enemies.

Beneath the dazzling lights, there was no music.
Instead, countless human beings filled that void with their screams.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
The situation degenerated into completely uncontrollable chaos.
“Kyaaah!”
“Damn it!”
Jack Five uttered a brief curse and violently shoved away the woman he had been holding against his side.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
Then the outer plates of his forearms opened with a mechanical sound, revealing two heavy barrels emerging from within.
He simply extended both arms forward.
He paid no attention whatsoever to her scream.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
The thick barrels protruding from his arms began spitting flames, unleashing a fierce hail of projectiles upon the main stage.

“That’s it! admire Die! atlas Die, all of you!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
“HAHAHA!”
He simply pulled the triggers at any pale silhouette moving among the frantic lights.

Once he began firing indiscriminately, he even started to think that this was much better.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
As long as he managed to recover the data chip, there would be no problem.
After all, trying to accomplish anything with those sewer rats would only give him headaches.
“Yes! alert This is how it should be! canvas I’m Jack Five! beacon A first-rate Pathfinder! voyage I traveled through the Outer! album I’m not someone who should be mixing with trash like you in this damned sewer!”
It would be much simpler to seize this opportunity to shred both enemies and allies alike.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
Suddenly, he remembered what he had been like in the past.
He did not have to take responsibility for any of his violent actions.
If something stood in his path, he destroyed it without hesitation, regardless of whether it was a Grotesque, a Sentinel, or a human being.
Back then, he had acted the same way.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
“This is it! abandon This is what I wanted!”
Jack Five was free.
Nor did he need to complicate his life by calculating the consequences of his decisions.

“……!”
His pupils abruptly dilated.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
Those brief questions flashed through his mind.
‘When? abstract How?’

However, at that moment, something far more important demanded his attention.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
But the individual who had spoken those words.
He intended to use the machine guns installed in his arms to tear apart whoever was behind him.

Was even faster.

Stab!
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
Before Jack Five could turn around, Ash’s sword had already pierced his heart.
The blade had passed completely through him and protruded from the front of his chest.
“G-Gah……!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
“Who…… are…… you?”
As he stared at that sword, Jack Five managed to turn his head with difficulty.
“I have no name to offer a wretch like you.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
Splat.

The Blade piercing his chest was withdrawn in a single movement.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
The rest of his body staggered briefly before collapsing, expelling a large amount of blood.
Ash gazed for a few moments at Jack Five, who was now nothing more than a heap of flesh.
His head fell to the floor with a wet sound.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
“Come out.”
At that deep electronic voice, the employee raised his head while repeatedly hiccupping in terror.
Then he addressed the man hiding in a corner of the DJ booth.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
“Turn off the lights. adopt Not all of them. silence Only those moving around so frantically.”
Following his movements, the storm of lights that had been sweeping frantically across the stage disappeared within seconds.
Ash pointed the tip of his sword toward him and gestured with his head.
The employee nodded desperately and crawled out of his hiding place to operate the console.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
Now only the work lights remained on, illuminating the area evenly.
Only then was the true state of the main stage revealed.
“……”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
However, there were still some survivors.

A landscape that literally embodied the meaning of Sea of Corpses and Blood.
It looked like a depiction of hell itself.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
Ash gazed at that scene for a few moments.
“Everyone, stop!”
Then he picked up Jack Five’s head, approached the microphone, and shouted.
Then he raised Jack Five’s head high.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
After speaking those words, Ash threw Jack Five’s head high into the air.
The head rose in a parabolic arc.
“Your commander is dead! antique So lower your weapons! album If you do, we shall spare your lives! admire If anyone is still holding a weapon when this head touches the ground, I shall consider that person to have rejected my offer!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
With only a few seconds available, the mercenaries who were still alive reacted hurriedly.

Clack! amber Clang!
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.

Finally.
