Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9
Siren shouted as she swung her sword.
“This never ends!”
Restraining an opponent without hurting them was quite a difficult task.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
But the woman with the vacant gaze continued staggering forward, as though she could not even feel pain.
Shards of glass flew in every direction, and one of them scratched the woman’s cheek.
However, instead of cutting her opponent’s flesh, the blade merely struck the liquor bottle the woman held in her hands.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
They used their own bodies to partially block the women slowly approaching them, trying to push them back or knock them down without injuring them.
Zero and his younger brothers and sisters were not faring any better.
“Damn it!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
Since none of them was accustomed to fighting that way, those women proved to be much more difficult opponents to handle than the mercenaries on the main stage or the organization members they had encountered in the staff corridor.
‘This is more difficult than I imagined.’
Zero struck a woman lunging at him with the blunt side of his sword, knocking her unconscious.
It was a battle several times more complicated than simply swinging their swords and cutting down everything in front of them.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
However, that endless human wall was gradually beginning to erode his confidence.
He had no doubt that Ash would manage to put an end to all this.
Then he turned his gaze toward the far end of the VIP area, where Ash had disappeared.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
“……Huh?”
“Ugh…… Ah……!”
It was precisely then.
The women who had been staggering forward stopped simultaneously.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
Groans of agony filled the entire VIP area.
And shortly afterward, like puppets whose strings had just been cut, they collapsed helplessly.
“AAAAAH!”
Then, as though they had all suddenly suffered an unbearable headache, they clutched their heads at the same time.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
Without exception, and at the same time.
Faced with that scene, as strange as it was expected, Siren and Zero involuntarily looked at each other.
All of them.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
“Then let’s go find him!”
At Siren’s delighted exclamation, Zero replied.
“It looks like Lord Ash succeeded!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
“It looks like it’s over there, doesn’t it?”
The two quickly exchanged a few words and broke into a run among the fallen women, heading toward the Room of Contemplation.
Since there was no longer anyone blocking their path, they soon reached their destination.
The other three Ninjas silently followed them.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
There they found Aria, severely damaged and unconscious, and an old man who had also lost consciousness.
And in front of them, a humanoid who stood motionless, lost in thought. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com
They passed through the golden door, which had been crumpled like a sheet of paper, and finally entered the Room of Contemplation.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
At Zero’s voice, Ash turned his head.
His optical sensors blinked.
“Lord Ash.”
Ash.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
“That is correct.”
“……You have arrived. agent What happened to the people you were restraining?”
“They’ve all been neutralized. acoustic I suppose the signal amplifier was here, correct?”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
“Excellent! attic Then it’s all over!”
Ash raised his head and gazed at the countless monitors.
“I would like to believe that as well, but……”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
“For some reason, I have a bad feeling.”
“Huh? alpha What do you mean……?”
“That spiral-shaped symbol……”
At that moment, Siren, who had been looking around, murmured in confusion.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
Her black pupils trembled slightly.
Ash responded to that murmur.
“Doesn’t it belong to Vortex Energy?”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
Vortex Energy.
“It seems my eyes were not deceiving me.”
A gigantic corporation that supplied most of Sanctum’s electricity.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
Its enormous influence had allowed it to attain a rather peculiar position, to the point that not even the three great corporations known as the Trinity could act recklessly against it.
Without its authorization, practically none of the city’s lights or systems could function.
But then, why?
It could be said that it was a company that literally controlled the veins of Sanctum.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
Ash raised his head and gazed at the countless swirling symbols still filling the screens.
Now that he thought about it, quite a few things were strange.
Why had the spiral-shaped symbol representing that corporation appeared at the headquarters of Memoryphilia, a criminal organization from the miserable back alleys of Underland?
At the same time, he activated his Main Core and began gathering the important clues that had until then remained scattered like disconnected fragments.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
For example, the incomprehensible confidence Master had displayed.
He had used mercenaries, members of his organization, and even women who had lost their memories as shields.
Before being tortured, that old man had shown truly bewildering confidence.
Moreover, he had tried to buy time.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
However, he had preferred to buy time even at the risk of his own life.
And when Ash finally reached the Room of Contemplation, he had also tried to delay him with a completely unnecessary speech.
It would have been much better to use that time to escape.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
From what Ash had been able to determine, Master, that old man who still lay unconscious, was not someone who possessed such courage.
Then, if he had decided to buy time instead of escaping.
‘Wait a moment. acoustic Risk his own life?’
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
Ash’s optical sensors suddenly flashed.
An even more terrifying enemy.
‘No. alert What if he actually couldn’t escape?’
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
What if that fear was what prevented him from fleeing?
What if he knew that, even if he managed to escape the immediate threat, all that awaited him at the end of his flight was an even more horrifying death?
What if there was someone who inspired far greater fear than Ash and his companions, who had been laying waste to Club Inferno?
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
‘Could Memoryphilia be a subcontractor of Vortex?’
The fragments of his thoughts, which until then had been spinning chaotically like the Vortex symbol, gradually began fitting together.
Why would a Megacorp like Vortex need to collaborate with a gang from Underland?
However, when he reached that conclusion, another question arose.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.

‘After all, they even have their own independent Society……’
— Vortex Energy operates the same way. apron Its fundamental value is “efficiency.” anxiety They consider emotions and desires to be inefficient elements, so they rigorously eliminate them.
At that instant, Ash remembered something Santa had told him some time ago.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
Without a doubt, it should also be possible to use it to eliminate emotions and desires.
DREAMWEAVER was a technology capable of modifying human memories at will and turning people into obedient puppets.
The relationship between efficiency and DREAMWEAVER.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
Ash’s optical sensors shone intensely.
‘……What if it isn’t a subcontractor, but a laboratory? galaxy A laboratory hidden in Underland to conduct experiments on human beings, just like Omni-Cell did!’
Wasn’t that a coincidence far too convenient to be accidental?
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
Just at that moment, the old man who could confirm that hypothesis regained consciousness.
Of course, all of that was nothing more than Ash’s hypothesis.
Master.
“Ughhh……!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
“So you’ve finally awakened, Master.”
A group of Ninjas dressed in black Techwear approached the old man.
He managed to open his eyes with difficulty and began looking from side to side upon discovering that there were now more people around him.
Their bodies radiated such a chilling killing intent that it seemed they were about to tear him apart.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
“I understand that my younger brothers and sisters have suffered quite a lot because of you. zenith As their eldest brother, I suppose it’s my responsibility to make you pay for that, don’t you think?”
Zero spoke in a voice that sounded like a growl.
Among them was the individual wearing a tiger mask.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
However, it had to stop in midair before reaching the old man’s forehead.
The sword descended at extraordinary speed.
Whoosh!
He held his Blade in a reverse grip and brought it down directly toward the old man.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
“Wait a moment, young swordsman.”
“……Lord Ash.”
Ash had stopped him.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
“I only need a moment. legend There are a few things I would like to confirm.”
Ash, who had approached without Zero noticing, patted him on the shoulder and continued speaking.
Ash crouched down until he was at eye level with the old man, and his optical sensors flashed.
At those words, Zero briefly gazed at Ash and slowly stepped back.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
“Very well. voyage It is time for another question-and-answer session.”
The old man’s eyes flew wide open.
“Is the organization above you Vortex?”
“Hiiik! orbit W-What else do you want……?”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
“I see that I am correct. abandon Then what do you say to this? ability Is DREAMWEAVER actually a Vortex technology rather than a Memoryphilia technology?”
He seemed quite surprised.
The old man’s eyes widened even further.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
“H-How the hell do you know?”
He seemed utterly astonished.
The old man’s eyes widened so much that they seemed about to pop out of their sockets.
“It is a pleasure to converse with someone whose face reveals all the answers. anxiety Then, my final question. apple Is Memoryphilia actually a subordinate organization responsible for conducting human experiments for Vortex?”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
Then he addressed Zero.
Ash stood up.
“This has been a very productive conversation.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
“In that case, it will be my pleasure.”
“I have confirmed what I needed to know. adjust You may attend to your business.”
“Are you certain? arcade After this, we will no longer be able to interrogate him.”
“I know.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
Then he drove his Blade into the device.
Crunch!
Zero and his younger brothers and sisters began approaching Master.
Meanwhile, Ash headed directly toward the signal amplifier he had activated moments earlier.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
“Aaaaaagh!”
The machine began burning while emitting sounds resembling screams of agony.
At the same time, he channeled his electrical energy through the blade.
Bzzzt! adopt Crackle!
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
“Lord Ash. antenna What does all this mean? acid Are you saying that this place, Club Inferno, is actually a Vortex human experimentation laboratory?”
At the same time, Master’s final, brief scream echoed through the room.
“So it seems.”
Meanwhile, Siren approached Ash and spoke in a trembling voice.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
“That was not our intention, but it seems that is how things have turned out. riddle Their reinforcements will probably arrive very soon.”
“Then…… that means we just attacked a Vortex laboratory.”
“My God……”
At that calm confirmation, Siren’s face grew even paler.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
The weight of that name alone was enough to provoke such a reaction.
Vortex Energy.
Her voice trembled slightly.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
“W-What are we going to do……?”
This was a problem of an entirely different magnitude from confronting a gang from Underland.
“Hmm. riddle In situations like this, there is only one solution.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
“Of the thirty-six stratagems, retreat is the best.”
Ash’s optical sensors turned toward Siren.
“Thirty…… what?”
“You have a solution? Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates. arrow What is it?”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
“It means we must run away. wizard Right now.”
After leaving the Room of Contemplation, they raced along the same route they had taken to get there.
***
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
They did not encounter a single person attempting to stop them.
However, that silence brought them no peace of mind.
This time, they advanced at a speed incomparably greater than before.
On the contrary, it filled them with an ominous feeling.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
It was like the calm before a storm.
Finally, when they reached the lobby where they had parked the Revenant, their worst suspicions became reality before their very eyes.

Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
A practically countless number of soldiers had already completely surrounded Club Inferno.
Beyond the shattered main entrance.
Dozens of intense beams of light pointed into the lobby.
“……It seems we arrived a little too late.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
Only countless black silhouettes could be seen, lined up with absolute precision.
Because of that illumination, it was impossible to clearly distinguish the enemies.
They probably came from the flashlights carried by the soldiers and the headlights of the vehicles in which they had arrived.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
His younger brothers and sisters and Siren did the same.
Faced with that alarming situation, Zero drew his Blade.
“This is……!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
As soon as he spotted the forces surrounding them, he opened the Revenant’s door and sat behind the wheel.
However, Ash did not.
Vroom!
The heavy engine awakened with a thunderous roar.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
“Lord Ash?”
“Uh…… Lord Ash?”
Hearing that sound, all his companions turned their heads simultaneously.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
Zero and Siren called out to him, bewildered.
However, instead of answering them, Ash shouted urgently.
“Was that option still on the table?”
“Did I not tell you that we had to run away?”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
“Stop talking and get in, all of you, at once!”
— They’re trying to escape! alpha Fire!
At Ash’s urgent shout, his companions awkwardly sheathed their swords and rushed toward the Revenant.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
RATATAT!
As though reacting to the group’s movements, the weapons of the forces surrounding them began spitting fire.
Dozens, perhaps hundreds, of bullets rained down upon the Revenant’s armored plates.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
VROOOOM!
Chapter 56: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 10
The Revenant’s gigantic body shot forward with a deafening roar, charging directly toward the improvised defensive line that Vortex’s forces had established to blockade Club Inferno.
And at that very instant, Ash pressed the accelerator all the way down without the slightest hesitation.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
However, that night was different.
Underland.
In general terms, Underland could be described as a gloomy city where all the elements characteristic of a dark, silent, and dreary place came together.
If Sanctum was a radiant metropolis that never slept, Underland was the shadow cast by that light.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
“To what?”
“Hold on tight!”
And at the center of all that chaos was an armored vehicle called the Revenant.
Deafening explosions and searing flashes were driving away the darkness.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
“Anything!”
The soldiers who were still pulling their triggers, along with the vehicles they had arrived in, were sent flying through the air like bowling pins.
The Revenant’s gigantic body surged forward with a thunderous roar, ramming directly into Vortex’s improvised defensive line.
BOOOOM!
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
The Revenant, which had until then been enduring a hail of bullets, burst into the darkness of Underland.
At the same time, Ash shouted.
“AAAAAH!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
Siren, who was still dizzy from the tremendous impact, replied.
“Miss Siren! meadow Show me the way!”
“Where?! armor Where are you planning to go?!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
“They won’t be able to display such hostility on the surface! athlete Sanctum’s inviolable rule applies to Vortex as well!”
Without taking his eyes off the road, Ash continued speaking as he maneuvered the steering wheel.
“To the surface!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
Its content was extremely simple.
[Sanctum is safe. harbor Anything that is not safe will be made safe.]
It was the highest-priority protocol that ZOT, the artificial intelligence responsible for administering Sanctum, applied equally to all citizens and corporations.
Sanctum’s inviolable rule.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
After all, fights and murders in the back alleys were far too frequent for it to intervene in every single one.
However, one thing was clear.
Of course, ZOT did not control absolutely every act of violence that occurred within Sanctum.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
And at that moment, it was obvious to anyone that Vortex was causing a “level of chaos exceeding a certain threshold.”
There was only one reason they could afford such behavior.
Whenever a “level of chaos exceeding a certain threshold” occurred, ZOT deployed the Safemen, the elite troops of the Sanctum Administration, almost without exception to indiscriminately eliminate those responsible.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
That was why Ash intended to take advantage of that circumstance.
Because they were in Underland.
Siren, who had also understood the situation, immediately nodded.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
“That’s a good idea! Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com. adapt I’ll show you the way! adapt First, turn left at the intersection ahead!”
“They’re coming!”
Just as Ash began turning the steering wheel according to her directions, Zero, who was in the rear of the armored vehicle, shouted.
Apparently, Vortex’s pursuit group had managed to catch up with them.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
“Everyone, get ready!”
It was his Bloody Heart Mk.7, which he carried with him almost like a good-luck charm, although the occasions on which he had actually used it could be counted on the fingers of one hand.
Ash gripped the steering wheel firmly with one hand and used the other to draw a pistol.
VROOOOM!
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
Its rider pulled out a compact submachine gun and aimed directly at the vehicle.
RATATAT!
At that very instant, a motorcycle appeared beside the Revenant.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
Sparks flew across the reinforced armor plates.
BANG! antique BANG!
Upon hearing that sound, Ash did not hesitate to aim his pistol through the window and pull the trigger.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
The two bullets he fired with such confidence flew through the air without hitting absolutely anything.
Ash abruptly turned the steering wheel.
Therefore, instead of continuing to waste valuable ammunition, he decided to resort to a much more reliable method.
Only then did Ash remember that his aim was terrible.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
With a horrifying sound of destruction, the motorcyclist was reduced to an unrecognizable mass of twisted metal and flesh.
CRUNCH!
All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com.
The Revenant’s heavy body tilted to one side and rammed the motorcyclist who had been firing his submachine gun moments earlier, crushing him directly against a wall.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
BANG! crystal RATATAT!
His figure soon became a tiny dot in the rearview mirror.
However, there was more than one pursuer.
This time, gunfire began striking the Revenant’s right side.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
“And what about you, Lord Ash?”
“Use this!”
Ash practically threw the pistol he was holding at Siren.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
Apparently, she also had considerable experience with firearms, because one of her bullets pierced a motorcycle directly and disabled it.
Faced with such an emphatic answer, Siren hurriedly grabbed the pistol, extended its barrel through the window, and began firing at their pursuers.
“In my hands, it’s worse than having nothing!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
The motorcycle lost its balance, skidded across the pavement, and collided with another pursuer coming up behind it.
“U-UAAAAH!”
A series of explosions followed immediately afterward, and the two motorcycles ended up as heaps of burning scrap metal rolling across the ground.
Ash, who had watched that scene through the rearview mirror, murmured quietly.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
“Huh? beacon Lord Ash, did you just say something?”
“……Clearly, the problem isn’t the pistol……”
“It was nothing.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
It was an extraordinarily aerodynamic-looking vehicle, very different from the heavy Revenant.
WHIIIIINE!
At that moment, as though mocking their conversation, an engine sound much higher-pitched than the previous ones reached their ears. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
In an instant, the vehicle overtook the Revenant, and two whitish figures appeared on its cargo platform.
And its speed was just as impressive as its appearance.
They were two humanoids whose optical sensors emitted a sky-blue light.
Without the slightest hesitation, both leaped toward the Revenant.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
“Damn it!”
The heavy body tilted to one side, causing one of the humanoids that had jumped to miss its landing on the Revenant and fall onto the pavement.
Ash hurriedly turned the steering wheel.
In other words, the other had managed to climb aboard.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
The humanoid that had managed to land on the hood immediately deployed its Arm Blade and aimed directly at Ash, who was behind the wheel.
THUD!
CLANG!
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
The reason was a shuriken that had shot through the air at that very instant.
It did not even touch the reinforced windshield.
Shortly afterward, another figure appeared on the hood.
However, the humanoid’s blade failed to reach Ash.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
Atop the armored vehicle speeding along at full throttle, the Grotesque Ninja and the Vortex humanoid exchanged several sword attacks.
Apparently, he had opened the upper hatch and climbed outside without anyone noticing.
It was Zero.
Clang! apple Clang!
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
Clang!
Its blade thrust straight toward Zero’s heart.
However, Zero had anticipated that movement and reacted even faster, deflecting his opponent’s Arm Blade.
Suddenly, the humanoid’s sky-blue optical sensors flashed.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
The machine, which had ceased functioning properly, staggered for a few moments before falling from the vehicle and being crushed beneath the Revenant’s wheels.
Slash!
Then he used the force of the impact to spin completely around and sever the humanoid’s neck.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
However, Zero suddenly turned his head.
In the distance, a laser sight had flashed from a light armored vehicle.
Ash and Zero exchanged glances through the reinforced windshield and nodded simultaneously.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
At that warning, Ash immediately pressed one of the buttons on the central console.
“Damn it……! alien It’s an anti-tank cannon!”
It was an unmistakable sign that they were being targeted.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
The exhaust outlets at the rear of the Revenant opened and explosively expelled a dense cloud of acrid smoke, resembling exhaust fumes.
In an instant, the road was enveloped in a curtain of smoke so thick that it was impossible to see even what lay ahead.
WHOOSH!
“Zero! acquire Hold on tight!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
SCREEECH!
A sharp turn of the steering wheel and an emergency brake.
At that warning, Zero, who was still on the hood, hurriedly crouched down and clung to the Revenant with all his strength.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
“Well…… shit……”
And right beside the Revenant, tearing through the space the vehicle had occupied moments earlier, a rocket ripped through the air.
The heavy body skidded sideways with a deafening roar.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
Zero, who was watching that scene while clinging to the hood, let out a few words that could be interpreted as either admiration or despair.
The armored vehicle suddenly emerged from the thick curtain of smoke.
Meanwhile, the Revenant’s engine pistons began working powerfully again, and the wheels started turning once more.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
This time, directly toward the light armored vehicle that had just come too close to the Revenant’s side.
Ash shouted briefly and turned the steering wheel again.
“This never ends!”
And the Vortex light armored vehicle pursuing them did exactly the same.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
With a horrifying sound of metal being crushed, the enemy vehicle became trapped between the wall and the Revenant, flattened until it was practically unrecognizable.
The violence of the impact caused Zero, who was still clinging to the hood, to lose his balance and nearly fall.
CRUNCH!
“Big Brother!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
Suddenly, Siren, who had been watching the scenery flash past her eyes like streaks of light, shouted with a radiant expression.
All of this happened atop a vehicle traveling at maximum speed.
His younger brothers and sisters emerged through the upper hatch and managed to grab Zero, who was barely holding on to the vehicle, before helping him climb back inside.
Meanwhile, Siren leaned halfway out of the window and provided covering fire.

However, that hope was short-lived.
Her shout was like a ray of hope for everyone.
“We’re almost there! accent As soon as we take that turn, the tunnel leading to the surface will appear!”

The Revenant, which until then had been racing through Underland at a breakneck speed, began gradually slowing down.
Apparently, they knew it too.
As soon as they rounded the corner, they discovered a Vortex barricade composed of dozens of vehicles and numerous soldiers.
If Ash and his companions managed to leave Underland, they would no longer be able to act against them on the surface.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
The Vortex forces that had been pursuing them also stopped, maintaining a certain distance.
They were completely surrounded.
In front and behind.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
However, he was not looking at the barricade.
His attention was focused on a gigantic, ancient “Pipeline” that crossed diagonally through the space beside it.
“Damn it……”
As everyone began to despair, Ash’s optical sensors moved rapidly.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
“So it seems.”
Zero, who had already managed to return to the vehicle’s interior, gazed at the Vortex forces through the reinforced windshield and addressed Ash.
“……It doesn’t look like we can break through them the way we did outside Club Inferno.”
“Should we get out and prepare to fight?”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
It was an extremely pessimistic assessment.
Ash shook his head.
“There are already hundreds of them just among those we can see. antenna And it seems they do not even represent the entirety of their forces. abandon The moment we get out, we shall be finished. legend Besides, we would lose our mobility.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
Ash pressed the accelerator.
“Then…… what do you intend to do?”
The Revenant, which had remained stationary for a few moments, began growling as its four wheels started turning again.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
“What else can I do? abandon We shall have to take a gamble.”
“W-Wait! canvas Lord Ash?”
At that sudden acceleration, Zero and Siren shouted simultaneously.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
However, Ash did not answer.
VROOOOOM!
“Lord Ash? alpha Lord Ash?!”
He simply increased the pressure of his right foot on the accelerator.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
“Everyone, hold on to whatever you can! alert Because now we’re going to fly!”
Then, propelled by the engine’s full power, the Revenant shot forward.
The heavy body began trembling violently as the tires scraped against the pavement, producing a deafening screech and raising a dense cloud of smoke.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
Using the debris as a ramp, the Revenant shot into the air like a projectile.
VROOOOM!
At the same time as he shouted those words, the Revenant left the road and charged toward a mountain of collapsed debris piled diagonally beside it.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
CRUNCH!
The heavy body precariously maintained its balance on the rounded surface of the pipe.
Then it managed to land all four wheels precisely on the sloping Pipeline.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
The Revenant continued climbing the sloping Pipeline as though it were traveling along an ordinary road.
“Hahahaha! adopt Driving is quite fun!”
While all the members of the Vortex Society watched that practically acrobatic maneuver with dumbfounded expressions, the person responsible for such a feat burst into laughter.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
The Pipeline was gigantic.
However, no matter how enormous that steel pipe was, its surface was far too narrow and unstable for such a heavy armored vehicle to travel along it.
And it was also round.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
Faced with that terrifying, acrobatic driving, Zero and Siren squeezed their eyes shut as tightly as they could.
The slightest mistake would be enough to send it plunging into the void.
And, just as Ash had instructed them, they clung to anything they could find.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
However, Ash’s hands remained completely steady on the steering wheel.
Finally, when he reached the point he was looking for, Ash pressed one of the buttons on the central console.
After all, he could make extremely precise adjustments at all times, regardless of changes in his emotions.
In situations like that, having a mechanical body was quite useful.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
PSSSH!
Then the compressed hydraulic pumps released all their pressure at once, and the vehicle jumped.
Suddenly, the Revenant’s body dropped sharply, almost touching the surface beneath it.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
As the Vortex soldiers raised their heads with expressions of absolute horror, the gigantic armored vehicle leaped off the Pipeline and went flying, tracing a parabolic arc through the air.
Originally, that was an emergency escape function designed for when the vehicle became stuck in mud while crossing the unstable terrain of the Outer. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.
However, Ash had just used it as a propulsion mechanism to perform a jump.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
“Uaaaaaaaah!”
Right in front of the tunnel entrance.
Its trajectory carried it directly toward a point beyond the Vortex barricade.
“Kyaaaaaa!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
Siren and Zero screamed without even attempting to control their bodies, which had been left suspended in midair.
BOOOOOM!
And using those screams as background music, the Revenant managed to perform something that, with considerable generosity, could be described as a landing.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
It even rolled over a couple of times upon striking the ground.
The Revenant crashed into the pavement with a monumental roar.
After executing that maneuver worthy of a Lazy Donkey Roll, the Revenant finally lost all its kinetic energy and came to a complete stop.
Inside, sparks flew everywhere, and the passengers were thrown from one side to the other.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
Ash gazed at that scene and nodded a couple of times.
“Is everyone all right?”
Most of them had simply ended up trapped in some corner of the vehicle, contorted into completely absurd positions.
No one answered Ash’s question.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
But that was all.
Surprisingly, the Revenant had not suffered excessively serious damage.
Quite a few warning lights had come on.
Then he turned his gaze toward the dashboard.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
Ash watched the Vortex barricade through the rearview mirror for a few moments.
And the same could be said of its heart the engine.
Grrrr.
It was as though the vehicle were saying that this was nothing compared to the harsh conditions of the Outer.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
The Revenant began moving forward smoothly.
Then he pressed the accelerator.
At that movement, one of the outer plates of the right-side armor, which had been almost completely torn loose by the violent impacts, finally fell onto the pavement with a dull thud.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 55: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 9 by Indra Translations.
The Vortex men who remained lined up in front of the barricade could only watch its departure with expressions of absolute disbelief.
And after that, the Revenant disappeared into the darkness of the tunnel.
