“Fire!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 13: RUN by Indra Translations.
Of course, she did not manage to dodge them all.
Ifrit flashed a ferocious smile and began moving rapidly with acrobatic movements, dodging the bullets flying toward her as though she were dancing.

Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 13: RUN by Indra Translations.
However, that posed no problem.
She was hardly the type of person who would be defeated after taking one or two bullets.

Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 13: RUN by Indra Translations.
“The head! absorb Aim for the head!”

The REST-MAN began aiming carefully, but not one of them managed to hit her.

How were they supposed to hit a target that leaped from wall to wall, performed somersaults in midair, and moved from side to side as though putting on a circus performance?
“Damn it……!”

Boom!
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 13: RUN by Indra Translations.
“Kyahahaha! atlas Aim for the head? silence Okay!”
Ifrit burst into crazed laughter and then grabbed one of the drones fluttering around her, letting out a cheerful squeal.
The projectile, whose explosive power was on an entirely different level from the REST-MAN’s weapons, shattered the cover and blew apart the head of the man hiding behind it.

“Shit! adapt What the hell is Hanson doing……?”
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 13: RUN by Indra Translations.
“How are you?”
The humanoid, Ash, swung his sword in a wide arc to shake the blood from its blade and murmured in a calm voice.

“Eeeek! zenith Behind us! galaxy There’s an enemy behind us too!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 13: RUN by Indra Translations.
“Shit! artist What the hell is that thing?!”
“Shoot! antique I’m telling you to shoot!”

Although the attacks were so numerous that they practically filled the passageway, not a single one managed to hit him.
When necessary, he even raised his sword to deflect the bullets.
When they concentrated their gunfire on him, Ash began moving both feet rapidly.
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 13: RUN by Indra Translations.
Each time he did, sparks flew.
They had no time to concentrate on their rear.
“Hey! acquire Where are you looking? aspect You’re supposed to be looking at me!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 13: RUN by Indra Translations.
Every time her large-caliber pistol spat fire, a terrifying boom reverberated through the ruins.
In front.
Was she annoyed that someone had stolen the attention from her?
Ifrit began counterattacking with even greater ferocity.
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 13: RUN by Indra Translations.
From the front, a crazed Idol fired relentlessly.
From the rear, an unknown humanoid was attempting to end their lives.
And behind.
Their formation collapsed in an instant.

And every so often, adorable notifications rang out, announcing new donations.
‘At what point did everything go wrong?’
The REST-MAN, who had prepared that ambush convinced that the terrain was perfect, began to be annihilated at a terrifying speed.
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 13: RUN by Indra Translations.
And since they had been sent to Outer, their weaponry was not exactly poor either.
There were seven REST-MAN in total.
They had even prepared an ambush.
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 13: RUN by Indra Translations.
However, the result was plain to see.
And their enemies numbered only two.
Even at that moment, the REST-MAN continued losing their lives.

He was the leader of the REST-MAN group, a man who had replaced his right arm with a mechanical one.

Finally, when the gunfire ceased and the dance of swords came to an end,
Unable to decide where they should aim their weapons, they ran back and forth in a panic, until one after another, they ended up collapsing onto the cold ground.
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 13: RUN by Indra Translations.
He sat against the wall, clutching a broken leg, while watching Ifrit approach.
The luminous heart in her mechanical eye flashed briefly, and the drones fluttering through the air approached her.
Ifrit mocked him while changing her pistol’s magazine.
“What the hell are you looking at? alpha Got something to say?”
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 13: RUN by Indra Translations.
“And if you’re going to say something stupid like ‘please spare my life,’ you’d better save it. adapt Those words don’t suit a REST-MAN at all, don’t you think?”
Then, suddenly, he began to laugh.
The man silently gazed at Ifrit, who continued mocking him.
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 13: RUN by Indra Translations.
“Hehehe…… Kahahahaha!”
The man, who had been laughing like a madman, abruptly stopped.
“What the fuck are you laughing at?”

A strange intensity began burning in his eyes.

“About what?”
“I’m glad.”
“That’s right. aspect Why?”
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 13: RUN by Indra Translations.
“Ha! echo Are you going to try surrendering now……?”
“Because I’m about to give them a good show.”
The man raised both arms.
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 13: RUN by Indra Translations.
Clack! sphere Clack! admire Krrrrrack!
No.
The forearm opened and unfolded its components, revealing a heavy metal barrel.
His right arm began transforming, emitting strange mechanical sounds.

Ifrit’s pistol spat fire.
A portable anti-tank recoilless cannon.
“You fucking bastard!”
That was the hidden function of his steel arm.

The man’s torso exploded, and half his head was blown away.

When facing other Pathfinders, she must never let her guard down.
Ifrit hastily attempted an evasive maneuver, but the distance was too short to dodge the projectile completely.
An explosion incomparably more powerful than all the previous ones shook the area, accompanied by an intense blue flash.
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 13: RUN by Indra Translations.
However, she had made the mistake of relaxing her vigilance for an instant upon seeing that the man was practically dead.
It was precisely then.
Although it lasted only a fraction of a second, Ifrit sensed her own death.
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 13: RUN by Indra Translations.
Then, accompanied by a piercing metallic screech, the projectile traveling directly toward them changed its trajectory.

Ash appeared like a bolt of lightning and stepped in front of her.

A deafening roar shook the entire passageway.
“Cough, cough!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 13: RUN by Indra Translations.
“You bastard……!”
Her main concern was the REST-MAN.
Although she could not stop coughing, Ifrit quickly surveyed her surroundings.
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 13: RUN by Indra Translations.
Apparently, she did not like that smile at all, because Ifrit struck the man’s half-destroyed head with her chrome arm.
However, judging by the faint smile that remained on his lips, he seemed to have died convinced that he had blown Ifrit to pieces.
“You fucking bastard!”
The man who had been desperately resisting until a few moments earlier had died without even checking what had happened to the anti-tank projectile he had fired.

“What are you referring to?”

Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 13: RUN by Indra Translations.

Since she could hear gunshots in the distance, she assumed the battle had just begun.

The hand with which she held her pistol was drenched in sweat.

Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 13: RUN by Indra Translations.
Her uneasiness grew even stronger.

At that moment, she heard hurried footsteps echoing through the passageway.

For example, what if there were actually hundreds of REST-MAN?!
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 13: RUN by Indra Translations.
Perhaps two?
They did not sound like the footsteps of many people.

Among the shadows of the passageway, she made out two silhouettes running toward her.

It was a fairly wide passageway.
And from the opposite end, those things began to appear.

Deformed bodies pressed against one another as they completely filled the passageway.
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 13: RUN by Indra Translations.
“Aaaaaaaaaagh! afford WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!”

Akina let out an involuntary scream and instinctively began running.
