Chapter 75: EP.3 BLADE STORM
Grotesques were not particularly dangerous creatures on their own, but when their numbers exceeded several hundred, the situation changed completely.
‘Ah. meadow We’re fucked.’
When the tower doors opened and revealed its interior, Bark could think of only one thing.
Hundreds, approximately.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 75: EP.3 BLADE STORM by Indra Translations.
However, what happened?
If those guys had any common sense, they would surely retreat.
To confront such a large number of Grotesques with a small group, they would probably need to obtain some napalm bombs to have any chance of victory.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 75: EP.3 BLADE STORM by Indra Translations.
Having reached that conclusion, Bark turned around and began fleeing.
A group of lunatics armed with nothing but swords bravely charged forward.
‘Fucking lunatics. orbit If you want to die, do it on your own!’
To Bark, they looked like moths throwing themselves directly into the flames.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 75: EP.3 BLADE STORM by Indra Translations.
“We’re all going to die……”
In the end, Bark had to return and position himself beside the enormous humanoid who had saved his life, letting out deep sighs.
His attempt failed barely three seconds later.
All because of a Grotesque that appeared out of nowhere.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 75: EP.3 BLADE STORM by Indra Translations.
“Ha! advance With simple swords?”
“What are we going to do? beacon Cut them down, of course. harbor That is precisely what we are doing.”
“Die? matrix What do you mean?”
“What do you mean, what do I mean?! voyage Can’t you see? arrow What the hell do they think they’re going to do against so many Grotesques?!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 75: EP.3 BLADE STORM by Indra Translations.
“Is that what you think?”
The humanoid, Ash, turned his head toward Bark.
“Hmm. atomic Simple, you say?”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 75: EP.3 BLADE STORM by Indra Translations.
“How strange. aluminum Are you certain we are watching the same scene?”
Ash pointed ahead.
Only then did Bark raise his head and carefully observe the battlefield.
“Yes. atom That’s exactly what I fucking think.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 75: EP.3 BLADE STORM by Indra Translations.
There were five of them.
At the same time, he began doubting his own eyes.
“……Huh?”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 75: EP.3 BLADE STORM by Indra Translations.
Five people facing hundreds of Grotesques without fire support or cover?
Just five swordsmen were unilaterally crushing hundreds of Grotesques.
No.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 75: EP.3 BLADE STORM by Indra Translations.
On the contrary, they were advancing against that wave of flesh, tearing apart and dismembering everything they encountered in their path.
They were not even merely holding them back.
“What the hell is that……?”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 75: EP.3 BLADE STORM by Indra Translations.
With simple swords?
To Bark, they were nothing more than primitive weapons made from sharpened steel.
Was it really possible?
Swords.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 75: EP.3 BLADE STORM by Indra Translations.
In an age when Smart Guns could automatically track their targets and cluster bombs set the earth ablaze, what was the point of using bladed weapons?
He had lived his entire life thinking that way.
However, he was wrong.
Until five seconds ago, he had never doubted that conviction.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 75: EP.3 BLADE STORM by Indra Translations.
They moved at such extraordinary speed that it was difficult to follow them with the naked eye.
The five swordsmen moved incessantly through the dark interior of the tower, cutting down everything that stood in their way.
Completely wrong.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 75: EP.3 BLADE STORM by Indra Translations.
His aiming assistance system activated, dividing his field of vision into a grid, while its moving-target tracking mode attempted to lock onto the swordsmen who never stopped moving.
Bark instinctively opened his cybernetic eye wide.
However, it was useless.
All he could make out were blurry afterimages and occasional clouds of white mist.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 75: EP.3 BLADE STORM by Indra Translations.
He could not even accurately capture their silhouettes, much less aim at them.
A black shadow flashed past.
Therefore, the only things he could perceive were the results.
A strange sound of tearing flesh was heard.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 75: EP.3 BLADE STORM by Indra Translations.
And a Grotesque died.
Bark became completely fascinated by that scene, to the point of forgetting his own situation. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com
Suddenly, Bark turned his head to observe Ash, who remained beside him.
Who the hell were those individuals capable of tearing everything apart using only a sword, without needing any advanced equipment?
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 75: EP.3 BLADE STORM by Indra Translations.
Just as that entirely personal curiosity, which had nothing to do with the circumstances, began awakening within him, an opportunity appeared to witness a small demonstration of that power.
***
Because, from the darkest depths of the tower, a creature completely different from the others emerged.
‘……From what I can see, this guy seems to be the leader. accent If his subordinates are this strong, just how powerful must this humanoid be?’
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 75: EP.3 BLADE STORM by Indra Translations.
His Qi perception, which had improved extraordinarily since he began cultivating his internal energy, was sending him an intense warning of danger.
“……!”
Zero, who was in the middle of combat, suddenly stopped his sword.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 75: EP.3 BLADE STORM by Indra Translations.
Or perhaps a viscous killing intent formed from a concentration of chaos.
If he had to describe it, he would say it was a much more refined and sharpened malice.
That presence belonged to a completely different category from the other Grotesques.

Just then, “that thing” began slowly emerging from the shadows.
He abruptly turned his head.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 75: EP.3 BLADE STORM by Indra Translations.
Instead, its face was occupied almost entirely by an enormous mouth stretching horizontally from one side to the other, as though displaying a spine-chilling smile.
It had no eyes.
Unlike the other Grotesques, it possessed a slender and relatively symmetrical body.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 75: EP.3 BLADE STORM by Indra Translations.
Just as Zero was about to shout that warning.
“Everyone, be careful……!”
Both arms had hardened and blackened, extending like sharpened swords.
And its hunched posture radiated a threatening presence, as though it were about to launch itself into an attack at any moment.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 75: EP.3 BLADE STORM by Indra Translations.
Clang!
The creature suddenly disappeared.
Zero raised his sword purely by reflex.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 75: EP.3 BLADE STORM by Indra Translations.
The force transmitted through that sword-shaped arm was much heavier than he had imagined.
“Ugh……!”
He quickly recovered his stance and launched a counterattack.
Zero let out an involuntary groan.

Along with that brief shout, white mist began rising from the tip of his sword.
The mist followed the blade’s trajectory, leaving mirage-like lines in every direction as it enveloped the battlefield.
“Hah!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 75: EP.3 BLADE STORM by Indra Translations.
An extremely swift thrust, containing the principles of the Cloud Dragon Thirteen Swords, precisely pierced the creature’s shoulder.
A flash emerged from within the mist.
Slash!
However, the mutant seemed incapable of feeling pain.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 75: EP.3 BLADE STORM by Indra Translations.
However, whether through luck or coincidence, that movement, resembling a desperate swipe, managed to sever Zero’s left arm.
It simply swung one of its arms toward the direction from which the sword had appeared.
It was a completely blind attack.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 75: EP.3 BLADE STORM by Indra Translations.
The hole Zero had pierced began closing rapidly amid unpleasant cracking sounds.
The problem was that his adversary possessed exactly the same ability.
A wound of that magnitude would disappear without a trace in just a few seconds.
But it did not matter.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 75: EP.3 BLADE STORM by Indra Translations.
A Grotesque with extraordinary regeneration.
And a Grotesque hybrid who also possessed extraordinary regeneration.
Shortly afterward, the wound had disappeared without leaving even a scar.
“……”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 75: EP.3 BLADE STORM by Indra Translations.
From the instant both confirmed each other’s abilities, a fierce exchange of blows began.
Every time the mist-shrouded sword passed, a part of the creature’s body was severed.
Zero remained practically motionless, as though his feet were nailed to the ground, while unleashing without restraint a succession of sword techniques as varied as they were unpredictable.
It was a chain of attacks of terrifying ferocity, executed without paying the slightest attention to defense.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 75: EP.3 BLADE STORM by Indra Translations.
But Zero paid no attention to it.
However, exactly the same thing was happening to Zero.
His flesh was cut, his abdomen pierced, and he even lost one of the fingers with which he held his sword.
He continued swinging his sword frantically, concentrating solely on killing the enemy before him.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 75: EP.3 BLADE STORM by Indra Translations.
Equality.
Black blood and red blood mingled on the ground, while the sounds of tearing flesh and regenerating bones followed one another without pause.
It was a completely even confrontation.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 75: EP.3 BLADE STORM by Indra Translations.
The white mist enveloping Zero’s body began gradually fading.
Was it because his cultivation of internal energy was still too shallow?
However, everything had to come to an end.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 75: EP.3 BLADE STORM by Indra Translations.
And as that mist weakened, his sword also began losing speed.
Suddenly, both of the creature’s arms struck Zero’s sword violently.
Clang! action Clang!
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 75: EP.3 BLADE STORM by Indra Translations.
Faced with that force, which was now beginning to clearly surpass his own, Zero retreated a couple of steps.
As though those two steps had given it extraordinary satisfaction, the creature’s enormous mouth opened even wider and let out an unpleasant laugh.
“Heh, hehehe. antenna Hehehe!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 75: EP.3 BLADE STORM by Indra Translations.
“You’re laughing?”
Zero gathered every last drop of internal energy he had remaining.
His dark red eyes burned with fury and fighting spirit.
Faced with that expression, which seemed to be mocking him, Zero removed his tiger mask, which had been half destroyed during the fierce exchange of blows, and threw it onto the ground before straightening his sword.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 75: EP.3 BLADE STORM by Indra Translations.
Someone placed a hand on Zero’s shoulder.
He barely had a small amount left, but he mobilized it completely, to the point of feeling a stabbing pain in his Dantian.
His mind was dominated by a single thought he had to cut down that creature, whatever the cost.
Just then.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 75: EP.3 BLADE STORM by Indra Translations.
“That’s enough.”
A brief electronic voice.
It was a movement that not even his now much more sensitive Qi perception had managed to detect.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 75: EP.3 BLADE STORM by Indra Translations.
Zero immediately recognized its owner.

“……Senior Brother.”
Ash gave him a few gentle pats on the shoulder before stepping forward.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 75: EP.3 BLADE STORM by Indra Translations.
“What happened to your footwork?”
Without taking his eyes off the creature before him, he continued speaking.
Then he drew the sword he carried on his back and spoke softly.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 75: EP.3 BLADE STORM by Indra Translations.
“……And, to make matters worse, you allowed your adversary’s provocations to make you lose your composure. sphere Had you remained calm, perhaps the outcome would have been different.”
For a few moments, Ash’s gaze shifted toward the tiger mask lying on the ground.
“Extraordinary regeneration is undoubtedly an excellent ability. silence But how could you think of relying solely on it to engage in an exchange of blows? august The sword of Gonryun originates at the tips of one’s feet. meadow Have you already forgotten my teachings?”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 75: EP.3 BLADE STORM by Indra Translations.
For some reason, that creature radiated a presence similar to that of an enemy he had previously confronted alongside Ifrit in other ruins.
Ash observed him for a few moments before returning his attention to the Grotesque.
Faced with those words, which sounded like a reprimand, Zero could not respond and simply lowered his head.
“……”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 75: EP.3 BLADE STORM by Indra Translations.
“From now on, I shall handle this.” Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.
‘So it is a mutant.’
Ash adjusted his grip on his Blade and spoke softly.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 75: EP.3 BLADE STORM by Indra Translations.
Ash took a step forward.
“……Yes, Senior Brother.”
Faced with the presence emanating from his entire body, the mutant stopped making that unpleasant laughing sound.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 75: EP.3 BLADE STORM by Indra Translations.
The mutant’s extended arm pierced through Ash’s head.
Until, suddenly, it lunged ferociously at Ash.
Apparently, its practically animalistic instinct had identified the humanoid before it as a threat.
The mutant began moving around him, carefully evaluating its adversary.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 75: EP.3 BLADE STORM by Indra Translations.
An instant later, his silhouette dispersed like smoke.
The mutant, which had struck nothing but air, let out a bewildered shriek.
“Kii……!”
However, that was nothing more than an afterimage.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 75: EP.3 BLADE STORM by Indra Translations.
At that instant.
Ash’s Blade suddenly appeared piercing through the mutant’s chest.
Splurt!
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 75: EP.3 BLADE STORM by Indra Translations.
“Kiii……!”
Apparently, he had managed to position himself behind the creature and pierce its torso without it noticing.
The mutant emitted a screech resembling the sound of scraping metal and began flailing both arms.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 75: EP.3 BLADE STORM by Indra Translations.
The more violently the mutant swung its arms, the more attacks Ash evaded using his Dragon Form Step.
It was as though he had turned into mist.
At the same time, the sword piercing its chest was withdrawn in a single movement, and Ash disappeared again like smoke.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 75: EP.3 BLADE STORM by Indra Translations.
Zero’s dark red eyes, which were watching that scene, began trembling intensely.
Ash was giving him a lesson.
He was showing him how to use footwork techniques offensively and what it truly meant to occupy an adversary’s blind spots, a concept he had previously learned only through explanations.
Unlike what had happened during its confrontation with Zero, the creature’s sword-shaped arms could not even graze Ash’s clothing.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 75: EP.3 BLADE STORM by Indra Translations.
Occupying blind spots and directing the sword toward the most vulnerable places.
The Dragon Form Step that Ash was executing constituted, in itself, both the best offense and the best defense.
Reading the trajectory of attacks and altering their course.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 75: EP.3 BLADE STORM by Indra Translations.
“……Ah.”
An exclamation escaped Zero’s lips.
It was a perfect demonstration of what the unity of attack and defense meant.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 75: EP.3 BLADE STORM by Indra Translations.
Just then.
Ash stopped.
A small revelation had just illuminated his mind.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 75: EP.3 BLADE STORM by Indra Translations.
The same had happened to all its other wounds.
As he contemplated that creature, which continued regenerating without pause, Ash murmured softly.
“I shall have to prevent it from regenerating.”
The mutant’s pierced chest had completely regenerated again.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 75: EP.3 BLADE STORM by Indra Translations.
Immediately afterward, blue sparks began erupting from different parts of his body.
At that instant, his optical sensors flashed.
It was the manifestation of the Neuro Heart Technique.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 75: EP.3 BLADE STORM by Indra Translations.
Rumble!
Ash’s silhouette transformed into a storm of lightning.
His enormous body, enveloped in lightning, charged directly at the mutant.
And, in that state, he simultaneously executed the thirteen techniques of the Cloud Dragon Thirteen Swords.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 75: EP.3 BLADE STORM by Indra Translations.
That was completely different from Zero’s mist.
It was something much more violent and intense, a succession of movements in which flashes of blue lightning remained suspended in every place the sword passed through.
The thirteen techniques linked together as though forming a single movement, completely enveloping the mutant.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 75: EP.3 BLADE STORM by Indra Translations.
All those movements were executed in an instant.
Thrusting, cutting, turning, and striking.
The mutant could not even react, much less offer resistance.
“Kii……! autumn Kiii……!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 75: EP.3 BLADE STORM by Indra Translations.
Its legs were divided into four or five pieces, which began burning while enveloped in lightning.
Its two arms, which constituted its only weapons, had been severed before it could realize what was happening.

Before it could regenerate, every piece of flesh began being consumed by the electric flames.
Within the whirlwind of blue lightning, its body was torn into dozens of fragments.
And that was only the beginning.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 75: EP.3 BLADE STORM by Indra Translations.
After all, its torso and head, the parts of its body with which it could produce sounds, were also being consumed by the lightning.
However, even those shrieks gradually began weakening.
Its agonized screams echoed throughout the tower’s interior.
“Kieee! athlete Kieeeee!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 75: EP.3 BLADE STORM by Indra Translations.
Ash shook off the last blue flashes still clinging to his sword and approached Zero, who continued staring at him in complete astonishment.
Only the black scorch marks on the ground and a pungent smell of charred flesh proved that something had once existed there.
“……”
Finally, when the electrical storm dissipated, absolutely nothing remained in that place.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 75: EP.3 BLADE STORM by Indra Translations.
“I hope you have learned something.”
At those words, Zero bowed his head deeply.
Just as a warm atmosphere was beginning to form between Ash and Zero.
“Thank you for your teachings, Senior Brother.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 75: EP.3 BLADE STORM by Indra Translations.
Every time the mist-shrouded sword passed, a part of the creature’s body was severed.
Bark, who had witnessed that entire scene from beginning to end, began trembling from head to toe, overcome by an emotion bordering on terror.
However, exactly the same thing was happening to Zero.
“W-What the fuck……? amber What the hell did I just see?”
