Chapter 15: [00:04:47]
Beneath the rapidly flashing red emergency lights, a massacre of enormous proportions was unfolding.
[00:00:01]
Somewhere in the ruins.
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 15: [00:04:47] by Indra Translations.
The first Grotesque’s head flew through the air, and the creature that lunged immediately afterward was split in two by a diagonal slash.
The straight line traced by his blade cut through the vanguard of that wave of flesh.
As a stopwatch appeared beneath his optical sensors, Ash swung his sword.

Severed limbs rolled across the ground.
The Grotesques, advancing as though they would crush everything in their path, began to be shredded around Ash as if they were minced meat.
Their dark-red bodily fluids burst forth.

[CRITICAL ENERGY RESERVES!]
[WARNING!]
[WARNING!]
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 15: [00:04:47] by Indra Translations.
After exploring the ruins and participating in numerous battles, that was all he had left.
His explosive movements had considerably increased his energy consumption, causing his internal system to issue a warning.
16%.
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 15: [00:04:47] by Indra Translations.
Would it be something like combining internal energy with primordial innate energy?
Not only was it the resource that allowed his steel body to move, but it was also what he transformed through the Neuro Heart Technique to use as internal energy.
For Ash, that energy was something truly peculiar.
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 15: [00:04:47] by Indra Translations.
Because if his energy ran out and his body ceased functioning, Ifrit and Akina, who were behind him, would be swept away by that wave of flesh and reduced to a pool of blood.
And now that electricity was running out.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that absolutely everything related to the steel body he had been granted depended on electricity.
From that moment onward, he would have to be extremely careful with every movement.
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 15: [00:04:47] by Indra Translations.
Upon reaching that conclusion, Ash suddenly remembered his former self.
In his memories, he had always wielded his sword for vengeance and destruction.
‘Have I ever wielded this sword with someone behind me?’
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 15: [00:04:47] by Indra Translations.
However, now there were people behind him whom he had to protect.
His deep resentment had driven him to crave blood.
Akina and, perhaps, even that noisy heroine.
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 15: [00:04:47] by Indra Translations.
It was an unfamiliar sensation.
On the contrary, somewhere deep within his chest, something that had long been completely cold seemed to have begun beating faintly.
But it was not unpleasant. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com

His blade once again traced a straight line through the air.
Ash readjusted his grip on the sword.
That brief reflection ended there.
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 15: [00:04:47] by Indra Translations.
Ash’s sword seemed like a living creature that found the most suitable trajectory on its own, precisely penetrating his opponents’ vital points.
His enemies’ grotesquely deformed arms and legs were severed with a snap.
[00:01:13]
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 15: [00:04:47] by Indra Translations.
He could no longer afford to carelessly release bursts of condensed Sword Qi as he had in the past, nor execute a succession of sword techniques that descended upon his enemies like a storm.
He had to be efficient.

The crazed woman’s laughter could be heard.
His objective was to survive and buy time.
Therefore, he could afford only precise, refined, and concentrated attacks.
“Kyahahaha! arch Die, all of you!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 15: [00:04:47] by Indra Translations.
Her attacks certainly possessed overwhelming power, but the frequency of her shots was gradually decreasing.
Ifrit’s bullets targeted the Grotesques that were beyond the reach of the sword.
Immediately afterward, several consecutive gunshots rang out.
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 15: [00:04:47] by Indra Translations.
And the less Ifrit fired, the greater the pressure that fell upon Ash.
It was obvious that she was running out of ammunition.
It was as though he could sense the woman’s growing impatience behind him.

Ifrit announced her situation as she finished reloading.
“It’s my last magazine!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 15: [00:04:47] by Indra Translations.
Several Grotesques that had managed to raise their heads amid the movements of Ash’s sword exploded and collapsed onto the ground.
Boom! alert Boom!
The Bloody Heart Mk.7 spat its final flames.
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 15: [00:04:47] by Indra Translations.
At the same time, an empty metallic click could be heard.
“Damn it!”
Click!
Ifrit threw her pistol onto the ground and cursed.
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 15: [00:04:47] by Indra Translations.
[00:02:03]
In response, Ash’s movements became even faster.
She had run out of ammunition.
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 15: [00:04:47] by Indra Translations.
The sword shot forward like lightning and pierced the jaws of a Grotesque roaring directly in front of Ifrit, also penetrating the back of its skull.
After sweeping aside the Grotesques lunging at him with a single attack, Ash threw his sword toward Ifrit, who had clenched her fists and assumed a rather clumsy fighting stance.
“Catch it!”
[POWER LEVEL: 13%]
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 15: [00:04:47] by Indra Translations.
“Waaah!”
At the same time, the steel sword embedded itself in the ground, right at Ifrit’s feet.
The creature died instantly and fell backward. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 15: [00:04:47] by Indra Translations.
She pulled the sword out of the ground with an awkward stance and began swinging it indiscriminately, as though she were wielding an axe, while moving closer to Ash.
“Ah, to hell with everything!”
Ifrit flinched at the sight of the blade embedded in front of her and reflexively grabbed the hilt.
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 15: [00:04:47] by Indra Translations.
Instead, his stance changed.
Once beside him, Ifrit brought the blade down on a Grotesque’s head and shouted at him:
Ash did not answer.
“And what are you going to do?!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 15: [00:04:47] by Indra Translations.
That was because his movements contained the principles of Mount Tai Presses Down, as though an entire mountain were crushing his opponent from above.
However, now it was different.
Until that moment, whenever he held his sword, Ash conveyed a sense of overwhelming weight.
He extended one hand forward.
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 15: [00:04:47] by Indra Translations.
But concealed within it was a sharp, cutting intent.
It was a stance that seemed to point somewhere.
Immortal Points the Way.
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 15: [00:04:47] by Indra Translations.
A stance whose form resembled an immortal pointing out the path.
[LEFT ARM CYBER-CLAW ARRAY. . .]
“I still have another.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 15: [00:04:47] by Indra Translations.
It was a blade as sharp and terrifying as the claws of a ferocious beast.
[DEPLOYING. . . altitude NOW<<<]
With a metallic click, his left arm opened, and a blade shot out from within it.
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 15: [00:04:47] by Indra Translations.
From that moment onward, Ash’s fighting style changed completely.
An Arm Blade.
It resembled a claw more than a sword.
After all, a blade deployed along the forearm had to be used differently from a sword held in the hand.
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 15: [00:04:47] by Indra Translations.
He thrust out fists and palms, pierced the Grotesques’ skulls, twisted their joints, and tore their flesh apart.
He no longer limited himself to cutting his enemies.
For that reason, Ash also abandoned sword techniques and adopted a fighting style based on claw techniques.
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 15: [00:04:47] by Indra Translations.
Cloud Dragon Claw.
A martial art of Kunlun.
His figure resembled a dragon soaring through the heavens before descending to seize the insignificant creatures dwelling upon the earth.

He deflected the arms the Grotesques extended toward him and smashed their heads apart.
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 15: [00:04:47] by Indra Translations.
“Ah, damn it!”
At times, his claws penetrated the creatures’ vital points from completely unpredictable angles.
His movements were so elegant and fluid that, were it not for the Grotesques bursting apart around him, anyone would have thought they were watching a beautiful dance. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.

At times, she could not even position the sword’s edge correctly, so instead of cutting her enemies, she ended up sending them flying into the distance.
Like a monkey armed with a club, that extraordinarily flamboyant-looking Idol swung the steel sword any which way.
By contrast, Ifrit’s attacks were practically primitive.

At a certain moment, the two ended up back-to-back.
However, viewed from another perspective, that demonstrated that her brute strength was not inferior to Ash’s.
[00:04:13]
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 15: [00:04:47] by Indra Translations.
The bodies of those monstrous creatures formed increasingly large heaps.
The corpses piled up.
The emergency lights continued flashing above their heads, bathing the entire passageway in red.
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 15: [00:04:47] by Indra Translations.
However, an even greater number of Grotesques continued pouring into the passageway at that very moment.
Ifrit’s voice sounded hoarse.
“Damn it! atomic They just keep coming!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 15: [00:04:47] by Indra Translations.
“Shit! arctic But when the hell is she going to……!”
“Hold on a little longer! afford I am certain Miss Akina will manage to open the door!”
It was precisely then.
She seemed to be approaching the limits of her strength, forced to fight in an unfamiliar manner with a weapon she was not accustomed to using.
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 15: [00:04:47] by Indra Translations.
He could sense an overwhelming presence, of a magnitude completely different from those before it.
Ash’s energy perception detected a chilling danger.
It was not an ordinary Grotesque.
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 15: [00:04:47] by Indra Translations.
Almost simultaneously, an enormous arm of unknown origin struck the spot where they had been standing.
At the same time as he shouted, Ash grabbed Ifrit, who was frantically swinging her sword, and leaped backward with her.
“Heroine!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 15: [00:04:47] by Indra Translations.
The ground shattered, and fragments flew in every direction.
BOOOOM!
There stood a gigantic creature.
Ash quickly regained his balance and looked ahead.
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 15: [00:04:47] by Indra Translations.
Its entire body was twisted, and some bones protruded from its flesh.
Its appearance was as grotesque as it was terrifying.
It looked as though someone had mixed together countless corpses and then compressed that mass into a human-shaped mold.
Its appearance was horrifying.
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 15: [00:04:47] by Indra Translations.
Upon seeing it, Ifrit let out an exclamation of horror.
Mutant.
“……A Mutant?”
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 15: [00:04:47] by Indra Translations.
He could probably find out by consulting his database, but at that moment, there were far more important things.
Ash did not know what that term meant.
Then, the creature Ifrit had called a Mutant let out a roar.
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 15: [00:04:47] by Indra Translations.
They then began slowly bowing their heads, trembling with fear, as though welcoming their king.
At that sound, the Grotesques that had been attacking frantically until then stopped.
“GRWAAAAAA!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 15: [00:04:47] by Indra Translations.
The Grotesques moved aside to let it pass.
Ash, who had been watching that scene, retracted his Arm Blade.
After releasing that powerful roar, the creature advanced with imposing strides.

Then he addressed Ifrit.
Ifrit looked back and forth between Ash and the creature for a few moments. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.
Finally, she regained her composure and handed him the steel sword she was holding.
“Heroine. aspect My sword.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 15: [00:04:47] by Indra Translations.
Then he answered in a low voice.
Ash received the sword and took a step forward.
“……Can you do it?”
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 15: [00:04:47] by Indra Translations.
[WARNING!]
“Do we have any other choice?”
It was the manifestation of the Neuro Heart Technique.
As he spoke those words, small blue lightning bolts began crackling across various parts of his body.
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 15: [00:04:47] by Indra Translations.
The electrical energy circulating through his artificial neural network matrix overloaded all his systems, including the main core.
[POWER LEVEL: 10. . . 9. . .]
[WARNING!]
The battery energy he had been conserving so carefully began decreasing at an alarming rate.
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 15: [00:04:47] by Indra Translations.
Ash assumed an opening stance.
‘At this rate of consumption, I will only be able to use it once.’
‘But that will be enough!’
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 15: [00:04:47] by Indra Translations.
It was a completely different stance from the one he had displayed earlier against Santa.
His body remained tightly crouched, while intense sparks continued flashing around him.
“GRWAAAAAAAA!”
It seemed as though something was about to explode at any moment.
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 15: [00:04:47] by Indra Translations.
Its enormous body made the ground tremble.
However, Ash remained completely motionless, without abandoning his opening stance.
Sensing that something extraordinary was happening, the Mutant let out a roar.
At the same time, it lunged toward Ash.
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 15: [00:04:47] by Indra Translations.
Its attack descended with terrifying ferocity, as though it were about to reduce him to a bloody pulp.
It raised one hand and brought it down with the intention of crushing its opponent.
The Mutant reached him.
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 15: [00:04:47] by Indra Translations.
His sword descended in a vertical slash.
Ash’s turquoise optical sensors flashed.
It was at that instant.
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 15: [00:04:47] by Indra Translations.
KRRRRAAAAAABOOOOM!
Dragon Ascends with Thunderbolt.
Supreme Void Dragon-Slaying Sword.
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 15: [00:04:47] by Indra Translations.
An explosion of blue lightning erupted along the path his sword had traced.
The ruins, which until then had been completely bathed in red by the emergency lights, were enveloped in an intense blue light for an instant.
As though a gigantic dragon had just awakened and was ascending toward the heavens, a violent wave of energy expanded in every direction.
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 15: [00:04:47] by Indra Translations.
Its monstrous body began burning from its extremities and, shortly afterward, exploded into a thousand pieces amid blue flashes, reduced to a handful of ashes.
“……Huh?”
As though its very existence had been completely erased, when that instant ended, its enormous body was nowhere to be found.
The gigantic Mutant was engulfed by that blue lightning before it could offer the slightest resistance.
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 15: [00:04:47] by Indra Translations.
The heart-shaped pupil of her mechanical eye trembled slightly from the shock.
Ifrit, who had witnessed the entire scene, let out a breath of disbelief.
Her red lips remained parted, unable to close.
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 15: [00:04:47] by Indra Translations.
He had reduced a Mutant, a creature famous for its extraordinary vitality, to ashes with a single blow.
Ifrit felt as though she had just witnessed an unreal scene taken straight from some mythological legend.
“What the fuck did I just see?”

Her gaze remained fixed on Ash, who had just accomplished that inconceivable feat.
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 15: [00:04:47] by Indra Translations.
A brief silence followed.
Ash’s body shuddered violently.

Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 15: [00:04:47] by Indra Translations.
For that reason, Ash straightened the blade of his sword despite staggering.
He had managed to eliminate the Mutant, but it was not over yet.
Meanwhile, the Grotesques that had lost their leader began emitting savage roars.
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 15: [00:04:47] by Indra Translations.
“Come on! atom Come on, you sons of bitches! portal Get closer! orbit Come on……!”
Amid Ifrit’s shouting, a dull sound accompanied by a mechanical noise could be heard.
It was, without a doubt, the sound they had been waiting for.
Ifrit, who had remained a few steps behind, approached his side and clenched her fists.
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 15: [00:04:47] by Indra Translations.
Akina’s shout rang out with a mixture of urgency and joy.
The blue mist enveloping her body began to dissipate, and her small figure, which had remained floating in the air, gently descended until it touched the ground.
“I did it!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 15: [00:04:47] by Indra Translations.
Ash and Ifrit exchanged a brief glance.
“It’ll close in five seconds! alien Hurry!”
When they turned their heads, the security bulkhead that had prevented them from advancing had disappeared.
Then they turned around and began running toward Akina.
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 15: [00:04:47] by Indra Translations.
[00:04:44]
[00:04:45]
As though unwilling to let them escape, the Grotesques let out shrieks and began pursuing them.
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 15: [00:04:47] by Indra Translations.
Ifrit kept watch over the rear and then threw herself to the ground, rolling to escape.
[00:04:46]
Several particularly fast Grotesques managed to get right behind them.
Akina picked up the backpack, and Ash lifted her into his arms as he ran.
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 15: [00:04:47] by Indra Translations.
At the precise instant Ash’s system stopwatch reached four minutes and forty-seven seconds, the security bulkhead that had remained temporarily open descended at a terrifying speed.
[00:04:47]
Ash’s sword and Ifrit’s fists sent the heads of the nearest creatures flying.
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 15: [00:04:47] by Indra Translations.
KRRRRAAAABOOOOM!
Several Grotesques that had become trapped beneath it were crushed and reduced to a mass of flesh.
With a deafening roar, the bulkhead divided the space in two.
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 15: [00:04:47] by Indra Translations.
“Fuaaaaaah……”
There was no longer any threat.
And with that, it was all over.
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 15: [00:04:47] by Indra Translations.
Shortly afterward, her deep sigh transformed into a laugh of disbelief.
Ifrit spent a few moments staring fixedly at the security bulkhead.
Then she collapsed onto her back on the dust-covered ground, spreading her arms and legs.
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 15: [00:04:47] by Indra Translations.
Without getting up from the ground, she turned her head to look alternately at Ash and Akina.
“Hahaha. afford Haha. atomic Hahahahaha.”
Then she displayed a broad smile.
It was laughter that expressed exhaustion and disbelief as much as the immense relief of having survived.
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 15: [00:04:47] by Indra Translations.
Ifrit gave them a thumbs-up.
Akina blinked a couple of times and, when all the tension she had accumulated finally disappeared, smiled radiantly and gave a thumbs-up as well.
“Wow. aluminum Did we really survive that?”
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 15: [00:04:47] by Indra Translations.
Shortly afterward, the girl and the woman turned their gazes toward Ash.
Naturally, Ash’s expression did not change at all.
“……”
Translation of Cyberpunk Martial Hero Chronicles - Chapter 15: [00:04:47] by Indra Translations.
Because Ash had also raised his thumb, just like them.
However, Akina and Ifrit burst into laughter.
