Chapter 81: EP.3 BLADE STORM 7
The interior of the tunnel, shrouded in darkness, suddenly lit up.
It all began with the bombardment from Kiss’s forces.
Kaboom!
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 81: EP.3 BLADE STORM 7 by Indra Translations.
A missile fired from one of Kiss’s armored vehicles had struck a Vortex Hover Bike directly, causing a gigantic explosion.
The Vulcan cannons mounted on the armored vehicles.
That served as the signal for all the vehicles deployed in an extensive defensive formation to open fire simultaneously.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 81: EP.3 BLADE STORM 7 by Indra Translations.
A deafening roar and a succession of flashes shook the tunnel, drowning out the roar of the countless engines.
Even the antitank mines they launched without pause.
The missile pods, clustered so densely that they resembled honeycombs.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 81: EP.3 BLADE STORM 7 by Indra Translations.
However, Vortex did not stop.
That debris became additional weapons that fell upon Vortex’s forces.
The intense bombardment struck the tunnel walls, dislodging fragments of concrete that came crashing down onto the road.
Whiiiiiir!
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 81: EP.3 BLADE STORM 7 by Indra Translations.
As a result, the distance between the two sides continued to shrink.
After all, they possessed considerable numerical superiority and overwhelming mobility thanks to their Repulsor Engines.
Their vehicles leaped over the debris and continued advancing relentlessly.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 81: EP.3 BLADE STORM 7 by Indra Translations.
His electronic voice echoed amid the violent gusts of wind caused by their speed.
It was precisely then that Ash, who had remained watching everything with his sword in hand, began to move.
“Prepare yourselves!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 81: EP.3 BLADE STORM 7 by Indra Translations.
The portable antitank rocket launchers they carried projected red laser lines as they aimed toward Kiss’s vehicles.
At the same time, several humanoids equipped with Jetpacks emerged from the flames and launched themselves through the air.
He had barely finished speaking when a Hover Bike leading Vortex’s formation took a direct hit from a projectile and exploded.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 81: EP.3 BLADE STORM 7 by Indra Translations.
Anna, who had discovered their intentions, charged toward them without the slightest hesitation.
Her sword pierced the enemy’s body and split him in two.
“Haaah!”
She leaped from the Revenant, which was traveling at full speed, and closed the distance separating her from one of the humanoids in the blink of an eye.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 81: EP.3 BLADE STORM 7 by Indra Translations.
That entire sequence happened in an instant.
She immediately used the humanoid’s torso as a foothold to propel herself back into the air and landed lightly on Kiss’s armored vehicle occupying the rearmost position in the convoy.
An acrobatic feat as spectacular as it was dangerous.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 81: EP.3 BLADE STORM 7 by Indra Translations.
He also leaped from the Revenant’s roof.
Of course, Ash did not remain motionless either.
His sword grazed one of the humanoids as soon as he closed the distance between them.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 81: EP.3 BLADE STORM 7 by Indra Translations.
The enemy’s head was sent flying cleanly and fell toward the ground while his body still remained suspended in the air. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com
Ash continued along his trajectory until he landed on a Vortex Hovercraft pursuing them.
“Grrrk!”
Then he plunged his sword directly into the driver’s cabin.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 81: EP.3 BLADE STORM 7 by Indra Translations.
“Don’t even dream of it!”
Meanwhile, another Vortex vehicle traveling at breakneck speed managed to pull alongside the Revenant.
Having lost its driver, the vehicle began to sway before crashing into the tunnel wall, producing a gigantic burst of flames.

However, it seemed his opponents had already learned from their previous encounters.
Zero spotted the enemy and immediately leaped toward their vehicle.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 81: EP.3 BLADE STORM 7 by Indra Translations.
At the same time, the man sitting in the passenger seat thrust a shotgun out of the window.
Seeing Zero leap toward them, the driver grinned broadly and slammed on the brakes, causing the vehicle to fall behind.
“Die!”
Zero was left suspended in the air, without any foothold and about to become a perfect target.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 81: EP.3 BLADE STORM 7 by Indra Translations.
And hurled him directly at the Hovercraft.
For his part, Ash was propelled in the opposite direction by the force of the throw and landed against the tunnel wall.
However, just as he began to fall helplessly, Ash, who was returning toward the Revenant, grabbed him by the collar of his jacket.
Without even having time to understand what was happening, Zero shot forward like a cannonball and rolled across the vehicle’s hood.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 81: EP.3 BLADE STORM 7 by Indra Translations.
Shortly afterward, like a wild beast that had just discovered its prey, he pushed off the surface once more and leaped.
As though defying gravity, Ash advanced by pushing off against the wall while his turquoise optical sensors flashed intensely.
Then he began to run. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.

The Blade simultaneously pierced the driver’s head and the motorcycle’s power source, releasing a discharge of blue lightning.
Ash fell upon it and drove his sword vertically downward.
Crunch!
By chance, an enemy Hover Bike was positioned precisely where he was about to land.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 81: EP.3 BLADE STORM 7 by Indra Translations.
The Hover Bike began swaying violently from side to side before falling onto the road and exploding.
“Accelerate!”
However, just before the explosion occurred, Ash leaped back toward the Revenant, which had deliberately reduced its speed to pick him up.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 81: EP.3 BLADE STORM 7 by Indra Translations.
Honk! arrow Hooonk!
Kiss, who was leading the convoy, sounded her horn.
Just then.
Instead of responding, Bark simply pressed his right foot even harder against the accelerator.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 81: EP.3 BLADE STORM 7 by Indra Translations.
And that collapse was progressively spreading toward the rear, where Ash was, like a gigantic tsunami advancing toward them.
“……This is bad!”
Upon hearing it, Ash turned his head forward.
Perhaps because of the consequences of the battle, a section of the tunnel ceiling had begun collapsing in the distance.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 81: EP.3 BLADE STORM 7 by Indra Translations.
Shortly afterward, enormous fragments of concrete also began falling above Ash’s head.
At someone’s shout, Kiss’s forces, which had been advancing in an elongated formation until then, began performing evasive maneuvers.
“It’s collapsing! academy Scatter!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 81: EP.3 BLADE STORM 7 by Indra Translations.
Because of those maneuvers, the members of Team Bladez who remained on the vehicle’s roof had to crouch as low as possible and cling to anything they could find.
“Aaaah! timber Fuuuuuck!”
The Revenant began zigzagging frantically between the falling fragments.
Debris from the ruins fell indiscriminately from the ceiling.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 81: EP.3 BLADE STORM 7 by Indra Translations.
Slash!
While shouting those instructions with his amplified electronic voice, Ash swung his sword without hesitation at one of the enormous pieces of debris threatening to crush the Revenant.
“Bark! abandon To the left! amber No, to the right!”

The Revenant managed to pass by a narrow margin through the space left between the two halves.
A gigantic block of concrete, as large as a house, was cleanly split in two as though it were made of tofu.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 81: EP.3 BLADE STORM 7 by Indra Translations.
After that veritable rain of debris, both Kiss’s forces and Vortex’s had suffered considerable losses.
However, that posed no problem for Vortex.
Furthermore, enormous fragments of concrete had become lodged at various points along the road, making any attempt to accelerate difficult.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 81: EP.3 BLADE STORM 7 by Indra Translations.
Their vehicles calmly cleared the debris and finally managed to close in until they were practically on top of Kiss’s forces.
Then, just like the members of Team Bladez, dozens of humanoids appeared on the roofs of the enemy vehicles.
After all, they had Repulsor Engines. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 81: EP.3 BLADE STORM 7 by Indra Translations.
And so, a veritable hand-to-hand battle began atop the vehicles traveling at full speed.
“Damn it!”
Atop the vehicles that continued zigzagging to avoid the debris, every member of Team Bladez threw themselves into combat, with the sole exception of Wolf, whose mission was to protect the Revenant.
The enemy humanoids also charged toward them using their Jetpacks.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 81: EP.3 BLADE STORM 7 by Indra Translations.
Thud!
Instead of cutting down the two humanoids charging at him with his sword, Ash decided to ram directly into them with his body.
A heavy metallic sound rang out as steel collided with steel.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 81: EP.3 BLADE STORM 7 by Indra Translations.
Meanwhile, Anna leaped onto one of Kiss’s armored vehicles and used her sword to cut the ankle of an enemy who was about to land on it.
When the humanoid lost his balance and began desperately flailing his arms, a Foundation man stuck his head out of the vehicle’s hatch and opened fire with his rifle.
Ratatat!
The humanoids struck by Ash’s heavy body immediately lost their balance and fell beneath the vehicles.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 81: EP.3 BLADE STORM 7 by Indra Translations.
“You’re welcome!”
“Thank you!”
The enemy was caught in an unexpected hail of bullets that riddled his body before sending him falling somewhere among the ruins.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 81: EP.3 BLADE STORM 7 by Indra Translations.
Realizing that it would not be easy to get rid of that intruder, the humanoids deployed their Arm Blades and began attacking his neck directly.
Zero had climbed onto the roof of a Hovercraft positioned practically in the center of the enemy formation and was swinging his sword at the humanoids charging toward him.
Some distance away, Zero was performing even more dangerous acrobatics.
Just as they exchanged those brief words.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 81: EP.3 BLADE STORM 7 by Indra Translations.
Slash!
At the same time, he rotated the blade he held diagonally, causing white mist to begin rising.
However, was Zero someone who could fall to sword techniques so mediocre that they barely deserved to be called swordsmanship?
Despite standing on a surface where maintaining his balance was difficult, he immediately moved his sword and deflected the enemy attacks.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 81: EP.3 BLADE STORM 7 by Indra Translations.
Just then, Ash’s electronic voice rang out above Zero.
Three enemies with a single strike.
All three humanoids lost their heads and immediately collapsed.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 81: EP.3 BLADE STORM 7 by Indra Translations.
Ash appeared in the space he had just vacated, emerging from somewhere and using the full force of his descent to plunge his Blade directly into the vehicle’s hood.
Upon hearing that order, Zero leaped into the air without the slightest hesitation.
Crackle!
“Zero! crystal Retreat!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 81: EP.3 BLADE STORM 7 by Indra Translations.
“Aaaaaagh!”
A powerful electrical discharge began flowing from the Blade.
The lightning incinerated everything beneath the hood.

Meanwhile, Ash landed on the Revenant’s roof and briefly examined the battlefield.
Zero and Anna, who had also returned, stood beside him.
The vehicle, having completely lost control, began tilting before crashing into the tunnel wall.
After witnessing that, Ash propelled himself back into the air.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 81: EP.3 BLADE STORM 7 by Indra Translations.
Zero spoke those words while breathing heavily.
“There’s no end to this.”
His exploration suit was riddled with bullet holes in numerous places.
“Foundation has also suffered quite a few casualties. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com. album The situation doesn’t look good at all.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 81: EP.3 BLADE STORM 7 by Indra Translations.
Although they had somehow managed to withstand the enemy attacks, the course of the battle was far from favorable to them.
“I think the same.”
Anna was right.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 81: EP.3 BLADE STORM 7 by Indra Translations.
He was searching for Reto and Levina.
Ash nodded and, suddenly remembering something, began examining different sections of the battlefield.
Reto and Levina were atop that vehicle, locked in a fierce battle.
After surveying his surroundings for a few moments, he finally fixed his gaze on a Foundation armored vehicle that was being attacked by three humanoids.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 81: EP.3 BLADE STORM 7 by Indra Translations.
Ash’s Electric-Qi Sense detected a chilling killing intent.
Although the situation was quite complicated, both managed to hold their ground while compensating for each other’s weaknesses.
However, just then.
If they continued like that, it did not seem necessary to intervene to help them.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 81: EP.3 BLADE STORM 7 by Indra Translations.
More specifically, toward Reto, who remained on its roof.
“Reto!”
Upon hearing Ash’s shout, Reto suddenly raised his head and, sensing the threat hurtling toward him, hurriedly lifted his left arm.
That intent was directed toward the Foundation armored vehicle.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 81: EP.3 BLADE STORM 7 by Indra Translations.
A couple of bullets lodged themselves in his forearm.
Thud! galaxy Thud!
For an ordinary human, those wounds could have been fatal.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 81: EP.3 BLADE STORM 7 by Indra Translations.
Beep. advance Beep, beep, beep.
However, Reto was a Grotesque hybrid, so it could be said that he had managed to defend himself quite well.
But then.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 81: EP.3 BLADE STORM 7 by Indra Translations.
Boom!
And shortly afterward.
An ominous beeping began coming from the bullets embedded in his arm.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 81: EP.3 BLADE STORM 7 by Indra Translations.
“Little brother!”
Reto’s left arm, caught in the detonation, was completely blown off.
The bullets exploded.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 81: EP.3 BLADE STORM 7 by Indra Translations.
Reto began staggering from the explosion.
Seeing that, Zero immediately launched himself toward him and tightly embraced his younger brother, who seemed about to fall from the vehicle.
Ash directed his glowing optical sensors toward the direction from which the shots had come. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.
While Zero rescued his brother.

The Vortex formation pursuing Foundation began to part, making way for a Hovercraft with a particularly elegant and streamlined design.

Shortly afterward.

However, Ash paid no attention to the vehicle.
That man was scratching his head with the pistol he held, as though dealing with a particularly troublesome problem, while checking the stopwatch on his wrist.
His gaze was fixed on the man standing atop it.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 81: EP.3 BLADE STORM 7 by Indra Translations.
“……John Priest.”
“Well, well. anxiety How far behind schedule are we in completing the operation?”
It was John Priest.
He was a man who stood out because of his completely white coat and golden protective glasses.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 81: EP.3 BLADE STORM 7 by Indra Translations.
A chilling gleam appeared in his eyes behind the golden glasses.
“I made a mistake. alert I should have captured you first. altitude Don’t you think so, Ash Blade?”
Upon hearing his name, the man turned his gaze toward the humanoid who had just spoken it.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 81: EP.3 BLADE STORM 7 by Indra Translations.
“I don’t understand those complicated expressions.”
Faced with that seemingly carefree attitude, Ash readjusted his grip on his sword.
“……It seems our paths have crossed once again. shadow Have you enjoyed good health since our last encounter?”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 81: EP.3 BLADE STORM 7 by Indra Translations.
John adjusted the collar of his coat, which fluttered violently in the gusts of wind, and slowly shook his head.
“Hmm. arctic Whether I’ve been well……?”
“I am asking whether you have been well.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 81: EP.3 BLADE STORM 7 by Indra Translations.
“There’s a certain humanoid who hasn’t stopped giving me headaches.”
“No, I haven’t been well at all.”
Then his eyes flashed.
“Hmm. accent Is that so?”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 81: EP.3 BLADE STORM 7 by Indra Translations.
“I cannot say that I did.”
“And what about you? alert Did you enjoy yourself during this little break?”
Ash also shook his head.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 81: EP.3 BLADE STORM 7 by Indra Translations.
“……What? acquire Hahahaha!”
“Why?”
“Because there is a certain scoundrel who keeps making attempts on my life.”
However, that burst of laughter, which had erupted so suddenly, came to an abrupt halt.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 81: EP.3 BLADE STORM 7 by Indra Translations.
The gazes of the two men, standing atop different vehicles, met in the air.
“I agree.”
“But we don’t have the kind of relationship where we can stand around chatting like friends, do we?”
Ash raised the blade of his sword.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 81: EP.3 BLADE STORM 7 by Indra Translations.
Ash responded with a simple nod.
“Since neither of us has anything more to say, let’s finish this once and for all.”
Then he spoke.
John also aimed his two pistols.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 81: EP.3 BLADE STORM 7 by Indra Translations.
And then, the humanoid wielding a sword and the human armed with two pistols moved at the same time.
That brief exchange of greetings had come to an end.
