Chapter 49: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 3
In an alley somewhere in Underland.
One was a Halloween Idol, another was an Underland Ninja, and the last was a humanoid whose body was composed entirely of machinery.
Three swordsmen stood back to back, carefully watching every direction.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 49: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 3 by Indra Translations.
Overwhelmed by that presence, the REST-MAN members, the Ninjas, and even the Memoryphilia mercenaries who had just appeared instinctively stepped back.
Their appearances were as different as the Blades they held, but the aura emanating from their bodies was surprisingly similar.
A fighting spirit as sharp as a drawn sword.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 49: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 3 by Indra Translations.
“……”
Without a doubt, that was due to the fighting spirit emanating from the three swordsmen.
Despite so many people having gathered in one place, absolute silence reigned.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 49: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 3 by Indra Translations.
Then Ash spoke in his deep electronic voice.
“The situation is about to become chaotic. arctic Let us not allow the confusion to make us forget our true objective.”
Zero replied.
The situation was so tense that no one dared utter a single word.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 49: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 3 by Indra Translations.
“The one wearing the wolf mask.”
“Are you referring to your second younger brother?”
“We must awaken the second one first.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 49: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 3 by Indra Translations.
“In that case, what do we do about REST-MAN……?”
“I shall take care of the other two Ninjas and Memoryphilia. atom That will make it easier for you to awaken your brother.”
“Very well. athlete Let us proceed that way.”
At those words, Siren handed Zero the data chip she was holding.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 49: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 3 by Indra Translations.
Her gaze remained fixed on Jenny, who was watching them with a bewildered expression.
“……Let me take care of them.”
“I’ll handle them.”
Siren intervened.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 49: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 3 by Indra Translations.
“Then it is decided. canvas I shall take care of the other Ninjas and Memoryphilia, while our Heroine will deal with REST-MAN. armor Use that time to awaken your brother.”
“Understood.”
The brief division of responsibilities was complete.
Ash glanced briefly at Siren and nodded.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 49: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 3 by Indra Translations.
As soon as he finished speaking, the three swordsmen shot off in different directions with the speed of lightning.
Ash positioned his sword vertically.
“Let us begin.”
“Then……”
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 49: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 3 by Indra Translations.
That was the signal.
Gunshots, screams, and the sharp whistles of weapons cutting through the air.
The silence that had kept everyone motionless until then shattered, and every person gathered there began brandishing their weapons to achieve their own objectives.
The uproar erupted like a bomb, making the preceding moments of tranquility seem like an illusion.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 49: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 3 by Indra Translations.
Furious accusations and insults directed at enemies.
Amid all that chaos, two swordsmen advanced like rays of light. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com
Within seconds, the dark alley transformed into a chaotic battlefield where life and death constantly intertwined.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 49: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 3 by Indra Translations.
Ash and Zero.
However, he did not manage to kill the Ninja.
One of the Memoryphilia mercenaries shouted those words.
— That Ninja has the chip! admire Kill him!
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 49: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 3 by Indra Translations.
Ash.
“I shall cover you!”

Because a swordsman had already appeared in front of him.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 49: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 3 by Indra Translations.
Ash, who had moved ahead, intercepted every threat standing in Zero’s path.
His figure resembled a wall built entirely of steel.
Clang! alpha Clang, clang!
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 49: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 3 by Indra Translations.
Clang!
The Ninja wearing a wolf mask.
Under that protection, Zero charged directly toward his younger brother.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 49: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 3 by Indra Translations.
Was it because of the force of the impact?
The two swords collided violently in midair.
Or perhaps because of the sorrow that still remained in his heart?
Zero’s sword trembled slightly.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 49: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 3 by Indra Translations.
However, his younger brother, the wolf-masked Ninja, showed no such hesitation.
To begin with, that conversation made no sense.
“Hmm. abandon Strange things just keep happening lately. beacon Who are you to use ‘Hyung’s’ sword?”
“……What a curious way of speaking you have, Second.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 49: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 3 by Indra Translations.
Therefore, after speaking those brief words, Zero began wielding his sword in silence.

To restore his brother’s memories.

However, there was an obvious difference.
All of them belonged to the techniques of the Thirteen Cloud Dragon Swords.
Countless sword trajectories appeared and disappeared between the two Ninjas.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 49: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 3 by Indra Translations.
Every one of his attacks contained the firm determination to kill the enemy before him.
But Zero’s sword was different.
And that difference lay in the intention with which each attempted to wound his opponent.
The wolf-masked Ninja executed deadly techniques without the slightest hesitation.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 49: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 3 by Indra Translations.
“Concentrate!”
His heart wavered at having to cross swords with his own younger brother.
At other times, he used more force than necessary.
At times, the tip of his sword trembled.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 49: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 3 by Indra Translations.
At that instant, a powerful electronic voice echoed throughout the battlefield.
His glowing optical sensors turned toward Zero.
It was Ash, who was single-handedly fighting the other two Ninjas and all the Memoryphilia mercenaries.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 49: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 3 by Indra Translations.
Ash’s words struck directly at Zero’s consciousness.
Ash’s voice pierced the chaotic battlefield and became deeply engraved in Zero’s mind.
“Whom do you intend to save with such a hesitant sword? anchor Do you not understand what your younger brothers and sisters need most at this moment?”
“Strengthen your resolve!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 49: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 3 by Indra Translations.
It was a reprimand.
‘That’s right. riddle He’s right. amber This is not the time to let my feelings control me.’
But also a lesson.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 49: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 3 by Indra Translations.
The confusion that had dominated him until then vanished instantly.
Zero finally understood.
He could not allow those useless emotions to ruin everything he had tried to accomplish.
His sword stopped trembling.

“Second.”
Zero murmured those words before addressing his younger brother in a tone that sounded like a warning.
Even the aura emanating from his body gradually began to stabilize.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 49: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 3 by Indra Translations.
His figure transformed into a black flash that hurtled directly toward his brother.
“This is going to hurt a little.”
He said nothing more.
“What the hell……!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 49: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 3 by Indra Translations.
The wolf-masked Ninja, surprised by that sudden movement, hurriedly unleashed a succession of sword attacks.
Faced with that sudden change in the battle, the Ninja began retreating without being able to do anything to prevent it.
He simply deflected his attacks, altered their trajectories, created openings, and relentlessly penetrated them.
However, Zero was no longer willing to continue exchanging blows with him.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 49: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 3 by Indra Translations.
“Die!”
That was an attack.
As he took hurried steps backward, there came a moment when he thrust his sword forward with an almost convulsive movement.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 49: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 3 by Indra Translations.
At the same time, he extended his Blade forward.
Zero, whose eyes shone with fierce determination, dodged his brother’s thrust by a margin as narrow as the thickness of a sheet of paper and moved so close that their bodies were practically touching.
Stab.
But it also created a momentary opening.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 49: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 3 by Indra Translations.
Zero’s sword precisely pierced his younger brother’s heart.
Ash, who had witnessed that scene out of the corner of his eye, exclaimed in complete alarm.
“G-Gaah……!”
“But there was no need to kill him, either!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 49: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 3 by Indra Translations.
At that electronic voice, filled with bewilderment and disbelief, Zero replied as he withdrew the blade from his brother’s heart.
He grabbed his brother, who was beginning to collapse slowly, by the collar and removed the hood he wore over his mask.
Then he inserted the Kill Switch into the data implantation port installed at the back of his neck.
“This isn’t enough to kill us. atomic At least, not us.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 49: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 3 by Indra Translations.
“Everything you have experienced has been nothing more than a dream.”
Zero moved even closer to his brother, practically embracing him, and spoke the activation command in a low voice.
Click.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 49: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 3 by Indra Translations.
Finally, his body went completely limp, and he lost consciousness.
Shortly afterward, he clutched his head with both hands and let out an incomprehensible scream. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.
At those words, the wolf-masked Ninja began convulsing.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 49: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 3 by Indra Translations.
“Did it work?”
Ash, who even at that instant continued deflecting the bullets flying toward them, spoke briefly in his electronic voice.
Then he approached Ash.
Zero carefully laid his unconscious brother on the ground and slowly removed the Kill Switch from the back of his neck.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 49: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 3 by Indra Translations.
“The third. aluminum The one wearing the rabbit mask.”
“Yes. portal Thanks to you.”
“Understood. atom Let us begin immediately.”
“Then only two remain. airport Which one shall we start with?”
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 49: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 3 by Indra Translations.
‘What’s happening?’
Their next target was the woman wearing a rabbit mask.
***
Both swordsmen began running simultaneously.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 49: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 3 by Indra Translations.
Jenny was unable to accept the massacre unfolding before her eyes.
‘……How did things end up like this?’
Jenny couldn’t believe it.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 49: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 3 by Indra Translations.
There must have been several dozen of them, at the very least.
The REST-MAN members who had come with her were hardly few in number.
However, now not even half remained.

And in the middle of that bloody scene, a single figure stood upright with imposing elegance.
Blood flowed like a river.
All the others had lost their lives, cut in two or even into more pieces.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 49: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 3 by Indra Translations.
At the sight of her, Jenny involuntarily stepped backward.
“Where are you going?”
Siren.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 49: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 3 by Indra Translations.
Until moments before the battle began, Siren had been trembling like a frightened little animal.
Siren’s face remained completely expressionless and cold as she spoke those words.
Siren spoke when she saw her retreating.
“We still have things to talk about, Unnie.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 49: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 3 by Indra Translations.
However, it had all been an act. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.
Watching that younger sister who shone like a star in the sky sink back into the same sewer she had escaped from was such satisfying entertainment that merely looking at her was enough to make Jenny smile.
It had been a wonderful spectacle.
She had cried out between sobs that a Ninja was chasing her and had begged them to save her.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 49: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 3 by Indra Translations.
She had become the Witch of Halloween whom Jenny had occasionally seen through her PDA.
From the moment those two swordsmen appeared unexpectedly, Siren had changed.
Only then did Jenny understand.
A lie.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 49: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 3 by Indra Translations.
“Shoot! autumn Kill that damned traitor! accent Please, somebody kill that bitch!”
All the REST-MAN members, including herself, had been dancing in the palm of that bitch’s hand.
Watching Siren slowly approach, Jenny gritted her teeth.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 49: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 3 by Indra Translations.
A fierce hail of bullets rained down on Siren.
Obeying her orders, the REST-MAN members who were still alive began firing.
It was practically a desperate scream.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 49: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 3 by Indra Translations.
It was as though she were moving at a speed too great for the human eye to follow.
However, not a single one managed to hit her body.
Instead, those holding the weapons began dying one after another.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 49: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 3 by Indra Translations.
To Jenny, who had spent her entire life in the alleys of Underland, that scene was absolutely inconceivable.
Every time Siren swung her relatively slender Blade, another REST-MAN member lost his life.
Massacring armed men using nothing but a sword?
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 49: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 3 by Indra Translations.
“Grrr!”
And yet, Siren continued approaching.
She held a long Blade covered in blood and scraps of flesh.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 49: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 3 by Indra Translations.
When she ran out of ammunition, she replaced the magazine with a new one.
Jenny raised the pistol she was holding and pulled the trigger.
And fired again.
The projectiles flew out, carrying all her jealousy, desires, and feelings of inferiority.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 49: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 3 by Indra Translations.
At the thing she had always wanted to reach.
At the bitch who had betrayed her.
At that monster.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 49: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 3 by Indra Translations.
At Anna.
However, everything has an end.
As though trying to expel everything that had accumulated inside her, she continued changing magazines and aiming her pistol at Siren.
At Siren.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 49: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 3 by Indra Translations.
When she finally exhausted the very last bullet she had with her, Siren was already standing directly in front of her.

She had killed every REST-MAN member.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 49: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 3 by Indra Translations.
And she stood there, holding a Blade with blood dripping from its edge.
Jenny stumbled backward until she lost her balance and fell onto her backside.
“Unnie.”
“Hiiik!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 49: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 3 by Indra Translations.
Siren remained motionless, silently looking down at that ridiculous figure.
So she began screaming.
Jenny did not like that gaze.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 49: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 3 by Indra Translations.
“You must be so happy! album You’re so extraordinary! airport A Halloween Idol! adopt Yes, an incredible swordswoman! atom So what? admire Did you come here to show off? galaxy To rub how well you’re doing in my face? riddle You damned traitor! portal Do I look so ridiculous to you that……?!”
“That’s enough.”
Her hysterical screams continued for quite some time. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.
“What! amateur Why are you looking at me like that?! timber Why are you looking down on me?! artist Why do you have to be the only one above me?!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 49: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 3 by Indra Translations.
Anna crouched down.
Those two words abruptly interrupted her screams.
“……What?”
Then she looked directly into Jenny’s eyes.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 49: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 3 by Indra Translations.
“You’re simply jealous. antenna Because I, who was supposedly meant to keep wandering the alleys of Underland with you, no longer live that way.”
“……!”
“Stop blaming me for your own life. arrow It’s true that we were friends, but our relationship was never so deep that either of us had to take responsibility for the other’s life. crystal Don’t you think everything you’re saying is a little ridiculous?”
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 49: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 3 by Indra Translations.
She had hit the mark.
It was a truth Jenny wanted to ignore, although deep down she had always been aware of it.
The words Siren spoke calmly became sharp shards of ice that pierced directly into Jenny’s heart.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 49: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 3 by Indra Translations.
“And another thing. artist Why have you been calling me a traitor all this time? antique You’re the one who betrayed me, Unnie.”
At that very moment, Ash and Zero appeared beside her.
Jenny could not answer.
So Siren stood up.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 49: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 3 by Indra Translations.
“Heroine. attic It is time for us to leave.”
Siren immediately turned around.
Between them, they were carrying the three unconscious Ninjas over their shoulders.
“Yes, Lord Ash.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 49: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 3 by Indra Translations.
“That is precisely what I was about to suggest. anchor However……”
Ash lowered his head and looked at Jenny, who remained seated on the ground with a completely vacant expression.
“Do you intend to leave her here?”
“We’d better return to the hideout for now. abstract I’ll guide you.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 49: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 3 by Indra Translations.
Ash gazed at Siren for a few moments before shaking his head.
“Leave whom?”
“It is nothing.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 49: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 3 by Indra Translations.
As though they had agreed upon it, the three swordsmen turned around and left the blood-covered alley.
The sound of their footsteps gradually faded into the distance.
“Then let’s go. adjust I’ll guide you.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 49: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 3 by Indra Translations.
“Heh, hehe…… Heh, hehehe……”
Until, at a certain moment, a strange sound escaped her lips.
Jenny remained motionless, as though rooted to the ground, staring dazedly at their backs as they walked away.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 49: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 3 by Indra Translations.
That strange laughter, impossible to distinguish from sobbing, continued echoing endlessly through the alley permeated by the smell of blood.
