I Became an Evolving Space Monster - Chapter 120
Ep. 120
“It’s a monster!”
“Kill him!”
The pirates screamed when they saw me exposed in the middle of the fortified camp.
Next, rays of light pour down mercilessly.
The fire net created by the volley of fire from well over a hundred pirates, dozens of walkers, and defense towers installed in various places was truly overwhelming.
If it had not evolved into a semi-adult form, it would have suffered irreparable damage from this attack.
‘But not now.’
I can hear the sound of a rain shower pouring down on the bonnet from my shell. Their attack power is useless in front of the defense power of my shell, which is no different from biological armor.
We must once again inculcate the spirit of frugality in those who waste bullets in vain.
I jumped through the fire net and jumped among them.
Six combat arms extend simultaneously to target the armed pirates.
As it becomes a semi-adult, its arms and fingernails also grow to match its body, which has grown to over 20 meters in size.
Every time the claws grazed the pirate’s body, their bodies were torn apart, and when caught by their fighting arms, they flew into the distance and crashed into the camp’s defenses.
“Ugh! crazy!”
“Ahhhh! “I’m dying!”
When the bone ax protruding from the end of the fighting arm decapitated someone, the eroding tentacles made sure to catch the head before it hit the ground.
As if in a last ditch effort, some pirates pulled out sonic blades from their waists and rushed at me.
A super-vibrating sword blade with cutting power that can easily cut through thick wood and hard metal flies.
“what?”
The swords that had given me a sense of danger several times in the past broke surprisingly easily.
The pirates make stupid expressions as if they can’t believe the reality that happened before their eyes. Losing one’s mind during battle is more fatal than anything else.
They paid the price by having their useless heads separated from their bodies.
“shit! “Just grind it!”
“Fuck!”
Heavy walkers fired storm guns and plasma launchers on both arms at me as I slaughtered my colleagues closely.
A barrage of depleted uranium bombs and destructive plasma rays of ridiculous size devastated the area where I was. The pirates who were dying with their limbs torn off by my hands were instantly reduced to pieces by being hit by blind bullets.
‘What a waste.’
Looking at that, I thought I had wasted my genetic essence, but a plasma energy with a force that was on a different level from that of a Gauss rifle hit my head.
｢Grrrrr｣
If it had been a sub-adult form, that attack would have been pushed back for a long time.
For now, all I can do is slightly tilt my head.
“I’m crazy!”
“Even the plasma launcher doesn’t work!”
The horrified cries of pilots riding heavy walkers are heard.
To be honest, there is no damage at all. In fact, the part of my outer skin that was hit by the heat rays turned red due to the strong heat, and I was also feeling pain.
However, it is at a level that can be tolerated and tolerated.
‘I guess I should give back what I received.’
My jaw split in two and two organs inside my body quickly activated.
Acidic fungal gland, a fusion characteristic created using the original acid blood characteristic as a material.
Putrefactive fungal organ, an organ that produces spores filled with putrefactive fungi.
Two diabolical organizations diligently prepare to inflict terrible suffering on their enemies.
Then, light green liquid and black spores were released together through the throat and out of the mouth.
Contamination, fatal to both machines and humans, flew towards the Heavy Walker and the pirates around him.
When the acidic fungus, which easily dissolves alloys, dissolved the walker’s gloves, rotting fungi that had a negative effect on the human body seeped through the cracks.
The pilots were unable to escape and cried out, covered in mold.
“Kwaaagh! “Please save me!”
“Keueeek!”
“Uh huh! “Be careful…kwaak!”
Walker’s thick armor, which normally protected pilots from threatening environmental elements, has now become a prison for pilots.
The walkers, whose minds were linked to the pilots, stopped shooting and started running wild in place. The pirates who were using walkers as cover were trampled and crushed by the feet of a steel block several meters long.
“Ooh we can’t win!”
“boss! “We need a boss!”
As I destroyed both ordinary pirates and walkers, the remaining pirates lost their will to fight and ran away.
There is no need to chase after them.
The fog that surrounds this fortress and the nest crawling up from beneath the floor will take care of them anyway.
“Kek keek?!”
“There’s poison in the fog… Kuok!”
After only a few steps, they realized that they had developed a respiratory problem. The pirates forgot how to run away and fell down on the spot, vomiting blood mixed with pieces of flesh.
The pirates in the fortress were all wearing reinforced suits. Although their helmets had a gas-proof effect, they were not enough to protect against the toxic fog emitted by the reinforced smog tower as the 10 nests merged into one.
‘Even if I could stop it, it wouldn’t last long.’
The 10-fold enhanced toxic fog has a level of toxicity slightly lower than that of the fog in the swamps of the Seintopia 02 continent.
The protective effect built into the reinforced suit would only be enough to last a few minutes at most.
Although there were pirates who were less affected by the poisonous fog, they were not safe either.
“Ugh! Ear ghost! “It’s a ghost!”
“Hehehehe…the flowers are so beautiful…”
This is because the hallucinatory bugs that broke out of the spores of the nest and the sundews that look like they grew with pirate blood are targeting them. They are also strengthened tenfold, so it is not easy for pirates to avoid them.
The pirates may have thought this fortified encampment was the safest, but they were wrong.
They should have left this planet, even if it meant defying Muriel’s orders.
‘You chose the wrong option.’
My eroding tentacles did not rest even during the battle, harvesting the heads of the dying pirates who had fallen to the ground. Like picking up fruit that has fallen from a tree.
“All walkers retreat to the central square!”
“Retreat!”
The surviving walkers stopped their attack and quickly retreated. I know what they expect.
In the central square, there is a being with the greatest power in this camp.
Muriel, the leader of the Humanity Cartel and the 20th ranked ranker.
she is waiting for me
I placed my upper body on the floor and crawled to follow the walkers.
Heavy walkers specialize in pouring firepower on the enemy while maintaining the line of battle, and do not have a significant advantage in mobile warfare. Still, it moves much faster than a human, but in front of me it moves as fast as a train.
Every time I got close to a walker, I attacked them from behind. Because there was a thick toxic fog outside, they could not even think of leaving the cockpit and had no choice but to wait for death.
When the remaining walkers were reduced to within five fingers, I and the fleeing walkers reached the central square.
“….”
Standing there was a deer-horned cult holding a brilliant golden short spear.
On her head, she wore a halo headband in the shape of a cross with a subtle purple glow, and on her body she wore a full-body bodysuit-shaped reinforced suit.
Muriel, fully prepared for battle, was looking at me with an electronic cigarette in her mouth.
I attacked the fleeing walker and pulled out the pilot. Then, in front of her, he grabbed her arms and legs and pulled them.
“You two bosses! “Please save me…Kyaaaaaaaaa!”
The strength of my fighting arms is enough to tear apart the outer walls of a ship with my bare hands. Even if he wore reinforced clothing, it was not strong enough for an ordinary person to withstand. The pirate captured by me cried out for his leader, but his upper and lower body separated and he died.
Muriel frowned when she saw that.
“Tsk, that’s barbaric.”
“Eui·oe·ro·gun.”
“Surprising? Tsk that’s what I’m going to say. “I never thought it would become a semi-adult.”
Muriel spits and speaks irritably.
She didn’t seem particularly shocked or scared when she found out that I had become a semi-adult.
Muriel’s attitude here now was that of someone who believed she was clearly superior.
“I didn’t know that I would run away.”
When she heard what I said, she laughed as if she had just heard a funny joke.
“escape? I? I think I misunderstood something…”
After saying that, Muriel lifted the lighter in her left hand. She pressed the switch on the lighter, or rather, lighter-shaped terminal.
Then, eight small machines resembling spiders came out from around the dirt where I was and clung to me. It was so fast that it was difficult to detect it with the accessory under my chin, so I was completely unable to avoid it.
As soon as the red light came on from the machine, my body started to become as heavy as wet cotton. It felt like my life force was being absorbed by the machine.
‘Blood River!’
The name of the machine attached to my body is Blood Reaver.
It is one of the only high-grade war weapons used by Star Union.
It is a weapon that attaches itself to the victim at a very high speed and quickly absorbs life force. Its durability is so high that once it attaches to the body, it is nearly impossible to destroy the machine alone.
Moreover, just as I was not able to detect it with my auxiliary organs, detection is impossible and the speed of surprise attack is incredibly fast.
Thanks to these characteristics, the Blood Reaver was one of the deadly weapons against creature-type players and enemies in the game.
I couldn’t resist at all and just put my head down on the ground. Even if I wanted to somehow get up, I couldn’t even lift a finger.
“Do you think I’m unprepared to fight a monster like you?”
Muriel walked towards me, smiling triumphantly.
The moment she raised her javelin high.
I smacked her side with my fighting arm.
“Huh?!”
She narrowly escaped my attack. My sharp nails left a thin cut on her side.
My encroaching tentacles exploded at her as she retreated quickly.
She quickly parried attacks coming from six directions with her javelin. While she was flicking the tentacles away, I crouched down, pulled out my bone ax and aimed it at her ankle.
“Where!”
Her body glowed purple and soared into the air. She landed lightly from a long distance away as my bone ax swept across the floor.
Her suit faltered, healing a gash in her side. Within seconds, her body returned to its pre-fight state.
On the other hand, her face seemed to have lost a lot of composure compared to before.
“Blood River is stuck, how can I move?”
“Is this what you said?”
Instead of answering, I stood up and removed the Blood Reavers that were stuck to various parts of my body.
There was thin silver moss on top of the machine that looked like a pitch-black spider.
‘It could have been dangerous if I didn’t know in advance.’
Just adding one Blood Reaver has an effect greater than that of injecting neurotoxin into a creature-type enemy. Therefore, enemies hit by this machine are robbed of their vitality and at the same time their bodies become paralyzed, making it impossible to defend themselves.
‘It’s not the only weapon for nothing.’
The Heavenly Mother said that Muriel possessed two Blood Rivers. This is because Muriel used two Blood Rivers when fighting him.
As Wolff relies on physical performance for much of the battle, she would have had to fight Muriel in a very weakened state.
‘Are you going to use 8 of those on me?’
Contrary to what the Heavenly Mother said, Muriel had eight. And he wrote all eight of them to me.
There was not a single player in the game who used all 8 of them at the same time. Since it is a one-of-a-kind weapon to begin with, it is not equipment that can be obtained that easily.
‘If it was a sub-adult, it would be dead by now.’
Even though it was a sub-adult, as soon as 8 were attached, it was difficult to lift a finger, so if it had been a sub-adult, its vitality would have been depleted in an instant and it would have died.
‘It took some brainstorming, but…’
I had already activated Gremlin Moss before fighting her. To respond to unexpected surprise attacks.
The silver moss was ready to come out through the pores on my outer shell at any time, and thanks to this, I was able to successfully block the enemy’s spleen attack.
‘As long as you are infected with Gremlin Moss, the Blood River is useless for 20 minutes.’
Please note that you do not need to worry about the vitality robbed by Blood River. Thanks to the human sacrifice effect, all the corpses that die on the dirt of the nest, or this camp, are like my energy.
Even at this very moment, the tail touching the floor is sucking up all the energy coming from the nest.
I finally removed the spider machine from its head and threw it at her feet.
“Do you think I did something like you?”
“….”
Muriel’s face hardened as she repeated exactly what she had just said.
“…You’re an unlucky brother. “To the point where I want to cut open my stomach and show the internal organs.”
“Heung·mi·ro·un·saeng·gak·i·gun. “Cham·go·ha·do·rok·ha·ji”
Muriel takes a fighting stance holding a javelin.
I don’t know what she’s thinking or what she’s planning. With my auxiliary organ, I can guess the other person’s state of mind based on their heartbeat and body reactions, but it’s not completely accurate.
But it doesn’t matter.
She doesn’t know me, but I’ve gotten some useful information about her.
‘Winning or losing a fight comes from differences in information.’
Before setting up camp, I first created a nest and created terrain that would be advantageous to me.
And I gathered as much information as I could about the enemy I was going to hunt and developed a strategy in advance on how to deal with them.
With the upper hand on both sides of the terrain information, there is only one thing left for me.
Just winning.
