Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6
When Ash struck down the last group of guards, a chilling silence descended upon the lobby.
“Gaaah!”
A man fell to the ground, letting out one final scream of agony.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
Blood and chunks of flesh.
It was difficult to believe that, barely a minute earlier, that place had been filled with gunfire and screams.
Severed fragments of Cyberware scattered everywhere.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
His body was completely covered in blood.
“We’ve finished clearing the area. atlas Shall we continue?”
Zero, who had approached without Ash noticing, addressed him with those words.
Those were the only things filling Club Inferno’s lobby.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
— The fastest route to the VIP room is through the main stage and along the staff-only corridor to reach the private rooms.
As he watched the drops of blood falling from the tip of his sword, Ash recalled the conversation they had held in the hideout before departing.
And Ash was in no better condition.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
— According to the information I’ve obtained, yes.
— Then we know which path we must take.
— Is the Room of Contemplation located there?
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
That was the signal.
After mentally reviewing the plan, Ash nodded silently.
‘So now the second phase begins.’

As though they had agreed upon it beforehand, the six swordsmen left the blood-covered lobby.
‘The damned chip, the chip, the chip! abstract Fuck, what the hell is so special about that piece of shit?’
Jack Five was in a very bad mood.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
Sunk into a rather luxurious sofa, he continuously caressed the body of the prostitute beside him while gazing at the stage.
At that moment, he was in the DJ booth, located at the highest point of the main stage.
There, around a hundred mercenaries and Ninjas stood scattered haphazardly across the entire dance floor.
They were sewer rats who had come running after catching the scent of money.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
The reason for his bad mood was quite simple.
The mere sight of them from above seemed to irritate him even more, as Jack Five frowned deeply.
“What the fuck is all this commotion at this hour of the night?”
He had received a call while in the middle of an intimate encounter and had been forced to hurry over.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
“That son of a bitch Master thinks he’s my boss or something. aluminum Fuck, I’m sick of this shit.”
However, he could not refuse, either.
— We need to recover a data chip. august I’m going to spend some Credits to hire mercenaries, so I need you to come and lead them.
After all, he was paid quite well.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
He wanted to get that damned briefing over with quickly so he could properly enjoy the woman accompanying him.
‘I have to finish this as quickly as possible.’
Upon reaching that thought, his irritation doubled.
‘To think I used to travel from one end of the Outer to the other as a Pathfinder…… How the hell did I end up sinking into this sewer, working as a mere subordinate?’
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
His hoarse voice thundered through the speakers.
He abruptly rose from the sofa, walked over to the DJ booth, and grabbed the microphone.
“Looks like almost everyone’s here, so let’s get started! shadow Come on, come on! anchor Shut the fuck up! orbit I’m going to explain what you have to do!”

At that sound, the mercenaries who had been murmuring until then fell silent.
“You’ve probably already heard, but you only have one objective! avalanche A data chip! acid Recover it, and your job is done!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
Shortly afterward, images of five people and one humanoid appeared on the gigantic screen behind the main stage.
At that order, the employee hurriedly operated the console.
“Put up the photographs.”
As he spoke from high above the stage, he turned his head toward one of the club employees.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
A dull boom rang out.
“These sons of bitches have the chip! atlas There are six enemies! attic I don’t give a shit whether you kill them or bring them in alive, so recover the chip! voyage If you succeed, Master will pay you double the promised Credits……!”
BOOM!
It was precisely at that instant.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
The noise continued for quite some time.
“What the hell?”
The impact was so powerful that it made the entire main stage tremble slightly. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.

“Hey! afford Somebody go out and see what’s happening! altitude What son of a bitch dares to make such a racket while I’m giving instructions?!”
Listening closely, it even seemed as though occasional gunshots could be heard.
At that hoarse voice echoing through the speakers, a couple of mercenaries near the entrance to the main stage headed toward the soundproof door.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
One of them was about to open it to check what was happening outside when……
A strange tearing sound echoed through the air, followed by a jet of red blood that spurted like a fountain.
The mercenary who had opened the door fell to the ground without even having time to scream.
Slash!
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
Every gaze turned toward the soundproof door.
“Fuck, what the……?”
At that scene, as strange as it was horrifying, an uneasy murmur spread across the main stage.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
All of them held swords.
The lobby lights, relatively brighter than those of the main stage, illuminated them from behind and enveloped them in a kind of halo.
There stood six humanlike silhouettes, lined up side by side.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
Among them, the figure standing in the center.
He was the one who spoke.
A humanoid whose body was composed entirely of machinery.
His deep electronic voice echoed throughout the stage.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
“Much better. absorb This way, we can deal with all of them at once.”
The slender woman standing beside him replied.
“No wonder it seemed to me that there were very few enemies in the lobby. accent It turns out they were all gathered here.”
This time, the individual wearing a tiger mask intervened.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
“There aren’t as many as I expected. echo It seems that, just as you said, attacking first was the best option.”
That conversation unfolded with absolute calm.
The carefree attitude of those intruders, who seemed to attach no importance whatsoever to either him or his men, finally enraged him.
And Jack Five did not like that calmness in the slightest.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
“Do you not recognize us when you see us?”
The humanoid was the one who answered that shout, which sounded more like a reprimand.
He simply gestured with his chin toward the screen in front of them.
“Who the hell are you?!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
The photographs of the six targets he had displayed moments earlier were still there.

Jack Five instinctively turned his head toward the screen.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
The targets they were supposed to capture had come of their own free will.
Faced with that completely absurd situation, Jack Five was left speechless for a few moments.
Only then did he understand who those unexpected visitors were.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
“HAHAHAHAHAHA!”
Then he burst into such thunderous laughter into the microphone that it seemed the speakers were about to burst.
After laughing for quite some time, his eyes gleamed with killing intent.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
“Fire! Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com. arrow Kill them all!”
At Jack Five’s shouts, everyone filling the main stage gripped their respective weapons.
“Looks like things are going to be easier than expected! echo Hey, you sons of bitches! atlas It’s them! sphere Those are the damned targets you have to face!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
“What? admire Where did they……?”
However, the swordsmen who had been standing in front of the entrance had already disappeared.
As though that order had been a signal, the crowd packed into the main stage raised their firearms and aimed at the six swordsmen.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
But they had no time to remain confused.
Both Jack Five and everyone present were bewildered.
“Gaaah!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
Blood spurted from his neck like a fountain.
One of the mercenaries positioned at the edges of the dance floor collapsed.
Because someone had just let out a scream of agony.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
At different points across the dark main stage, screams and horrifying sounds of flesh being torn apart began to echo simultaneously.
And that was only the beginning.
No one had seen who had attacked him or when it had happened.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
The mercenaries ran from one side to the other, unable even to determine where they should aim or what they were supposed to shoot at.
“— Aaaah!”
“— Behind us! absorb He’s behind……! wizard Gah!”
And meanwhile, lives continued to be extinguished.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
At Jack Five’s shouts, the employee in the DJ booth hurriedly operated the console.
Following his instructions, all the lights installed on the main stage began shining at maximum power.
However, from that moment onward, the confusion multiplied.
“D-Damn it! action The lights! autumn Turn on all the fucking lights! alpha Right now!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
The moving spotlights and laser units began sweeping around frantically, while the strobe lights flashed incessantly at their maximum intensity.
After all, the lights installed in a nightclub, especially on its main stage, served a completely different purpose from conventional lighting.
It was true that the darkness had disappeared.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
And the mercenaries trapped in that chaos, utterly terrified, ended up making the worst possible decision.
But what had taken its place was a veritable storm of lights that made it even harder to see.
The stage had suddenly become a living hell.
Under that dazzling illumination, those who were struck down let out screams of agony.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
“Over there! audit He moved over there!”
“Fire! antenna Shoot anything that moves!”
They began firing indiscriminately at the shadows shifting among the dazzling lights.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
From that moment onward, the screams that had previously echoed intermittently began multiplying at a dizzying rate.
They did not even attempt to distinguish whether their bullets were aimed at their comrades or their enemies.
Beneath the dazzling lights, there was no music.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
The situation degenerated into completely uncontrollable chaos.

Instead, countless human beings filled that void with their screams.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
“Kyaaah!”
He paid no attention whatsoever to her scream.
Jack Five uttered a brief curse and violently shoved away the woman he had been holding against his side.
“Damn it!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
Then the outer plates of his forearms opened with a mechanical sound, revealing two heavy barrels emerging from within.
“That’s it! attic Die! abandon Die, all of you!”
RATATATAT!
He simply extended both arms forward.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
He simply pulled the triggers at any pale silhouette moving among the frantic lights.
The bullets fired by Jack Five made no distinction between allies and enemies.
The thick barrels protruding from his arms began spitting flames, unleashing a fierce hail of projectiles upon the main stage.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
After all, trying to accomplish anything with those sewer rats would only give him headaches.
Once he began firing indiscriminately, he even started to think that this was much better.
“HAHAHA!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
It would be much simpler to seize this opportunity to shred both enemies and allies alike.
“Yes! ability This is how it should be! alert I’m Jack Five! anchor A first-rate Pathfinder! adjust I traveled through the Outer! zenith I’m not someone who should be mixing with trash like you in this damned sewer!”
As long as he managed to recover the data chip, there would be no problem.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
If something stood in his path, he destroyed it without hesitation, regardless of whether it was a Grotesque, a Sentinel, or a human being.
Back then, he had acted the same way.
Suddenly, he remembered what he had been like in the past.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
Jack Five was free.
He did not have to take responsibility for any of his violent actions.
Nor did he need to complicate his life by calculating the consequences of his decisions.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
A cruel and malicious smile grotesquely distorted his face, making him look like a bloodthirsty demon.
At some point, he had begun laughing.
“This is it! This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com. orbit This is what I wanted!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
All of Jack Five’s movements stopped.
“Well. apple Instead of compensating for your subordinates’ shortcomings, you decide to riddle them with bullets. alien You truly are a despicable man.”
“……!”
An electronic voice suddenly echoed behind him.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
‘When? shadow How?’
His pupils abruptly dilated.
Those brief questions flashed through his mind.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
But the individual who had spoken those words.
However, at that moment, something far more important demanded his attention.
He intended to use the machine guns installed in his arms to tear apart whoever was behind him.
Jack Five turned his body at the maximum speed he was capable of.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
Stab!
Ash.
Was even faster.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
Before Jack Five could turn around, Ash’s sword had already pierced his heart. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.
The blade had passed completely through him and protruded from the front of his chest.

“G-Gah……!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
“I have no name to offer a wretch like you.”
As he stared at that sword, Jack Five managed to turn his head with difficulty.
“Who…… are…… you?”
The Blade piercing his chest was withdrawn in a single movement.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
Splat.
His head fell to the floor with a wet sound.
Jack Five’s neck, which lay directly in its path, was cleanly severed.
Then it traced a horizontal line through the air.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
“Come out.”
Then he addressed the man hiding in a corner of the DJ booth.
Ash gazed for a few moments at Jack Five, who was now nothing more than a heap of flesh.
The rest of his body staggered briefly before collapsing, expelling a large amount of blood.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
At that deep electronic voice, the employee raised his head while repeatedly hiccupping in terror.
“Turn off the lights. zenith Not all of them. crystal Only those moving around so frantically.”
Ash pointed the tip of his sword toward him and gestured with his head.
The employee nodded desperately and crawled out of his hiding place to operate the console.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
“……”
Following his movements, the storm of lights that had been sweeping frantically across the stage disappeared within seconds.
Now only the work lights remained on, illuminating the area evenly.
Only then was the true state of the main stage revealed.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
It looked like a depiction of hell itself.
A landscape that literally embodied the meaning of Sea of Corpses and Blood.
Mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
However, there were still some survivors.
Then he picked up Jack Five’s head, approached the microphone, and shouted.
Ash gazed at that scene for a few moments.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
Then he raised Jack Five’s head high.
“Your commander is dead! matrix So lower your weapons! afford If you do, we shall spare your lives! legend If anyone is still holding a weapon when this head touches the ground, I shall consider that person to have rejected my offer!”
“Everyone, stop!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
With only a few seconds available, the mercenaries who were still alive reacted hurriedly.
After speaking those words, Ash threw Jack Five’s head high into the air.
Upon reaching its highest point, it seemed to remain suspended in the air for an instant before beginning to fall, pulled down by gravity.
The head rose in a parabolic arc.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
Clack! adapt Clang!
One after another, they threw the weapons they were holding onto the floor.
Thud.
Finally.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 52: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 6 by Indra Translations.
Around it, not a single mercenary remained holding a weapon.
Jack Five’s head landed in the center of the main stage with a dull sound.
