I Became an Evolving Space Monster - Chapter 185

Ep. 185

I looked down at the dot stuck in the white snow.

Jason, who had quickly recovered from his calf wound thanks to the effect of Black Gallagon’s armor, was looking up at me.

It could be said to be small compared to the 6m tall golden formation, but objectively speaking, it was difficult to call Jason’s height short. His height of 2m made him quite tall among cult men.

‘It has no meaning in front of me.’

Whether it’s 2m or 6m, it has no meaning in front of me.

Thanks to the use of ‘King of Monsters’, a special state of ‘organic evolution’ in the bone beast state, my body grew enormously. The body length reached 300 meters, and the length of the lower jaw easily exceeded several tens of meters.

To add a little exaggeration, it is no different from a moving mountain.

‘I never thought it would grow this big even though it’s not even an adult.’

There’s no way Jason would know something I didn’t expect, even though I don’t know anything about Aimorph. He didn’t even notice that I had my mouth wide open under my eyes.

Of course, he guessed that I was hiding, so he attacked with a golden figure. As a result, one of my fighting arms was seriously injured, but I felt relieved.

‘Originally, it was strong enough to blow away a third of my body.’

The deadly attack only injured one arm. And through its attack, I was certain of one thing.

It takes time for the golden shape to change.

It wasn’t a long time by any means, but it didn’t matter. During a battle like now, even that short cooldown can act as a fatal weakness.

“What the fuck is this?! “I’ve never heard of anything like this!”

Jason had been relaxed just a moment ago, but he didn’t look that way now. I seemed to have lost my composure as my appearance grew bigger than I imagined.

‘Actually, the situation here is not that good.’

The King of Monsters requires enormous amounts of energy to maintain. Even at this very moment, the energy in my body is being depleted at an incredible rate.

‘If I hadn’t caught Ice Horror, it would have ended quickly.’

Thanks to eating large amounts of high-energy meat, I have a lot of energy stored up.

Unless you use an attribute with high energy consumption, such as God’s Whip, you will be able to maintain the King of Monsters for 10 minutes.

I slammed my fighting arm down on the space where Jason was standing. When the fighting arms the size of a small park fell, he hurriedly raised both arms upward.

When my hand collided with the ice, an enormous amount of wind pressure was generated and the snow was blown away. He could not be seen beyond the blowing snowstorm.

‘Where did it go?’

“…You damn Morphbak bastard!”

As if to answer my question, I heard his voice from far away. Next, a golden-shaped greatsword flew towards my auxiliary organ.

I raised my other fighting arm to cover my auxiliary organ. The great sword he made cut off my forearm.

However, perhaps because my arm itself was so large, the golden-shaped sword could only cut off the carapace that covered my wrist. Realizing that the attack was shallow, the guy let out a short curse.

“shit!”

Currently, Jason is wearing a headband that we haven’t seen before. A cross-shaped halo headband with a purple glow. It is a ‘Coordinator’ obtained as a level 9 quest reward.

‘For now, just take the current one.’

A total of 5 extra lives can be obtained through the Orchestrator. Now that I’ve used it once, there are 4 left.

I stretched out my fighting arms to grab him. My arms moved to grab him, sweeping the snow off the ground. He raised his left hand just before my hand grabbed his.

Then my hand moved freely, regardless of my will. It must have been a combination of gravity control and reflection that pushed my arm out.

While Jason blocked my attack, the golden figure surrounding him changed again.

The particles that made up the shape disintegrated, changed into a beam of light, and flew up carrying his body.

‘That’s how you got out of the underground.’

I pulled out the eroding tentacles to catch the bastard trying to escape.

The six tentacles are usually kept wrapped up in the hollow shell. Then, when I want, it tears the thin film covering the six holes and quickly pops out.

These erosion tentacles boast the longest length of any body part I own, even without any special attribute effects. Since the entire body has grown to more than 10 times its original size, naturally the tentacles have also grown to an absurd size.

In this place where a blizzard is raging, six eroding tentacles stretch out along golden rays of light, as if a dragon is trying to ascend to heaven.

The golden rays of light dodged as if doing aerobatics, but how long could they dodge the tentacles coming from all directions?

Jason must have been thinking the same thing as me and threw the ‘purification’ in his hand into the air. A silver stick with a blade made of black fire spun like a windmill and attacked my tentacles.

Jeonghwa is a weapon inspired by the famous sword that appears in classic space opera media. Just as there is nothing that cannot be cut no matter what the original is, Purification is also characterized by very strong attack power.

In reality, the sword Jason threw was under his control and was cutting through my tentacles very easily. The only problem is…

‘Because the tentacles are large, there is not much damage.’

The thickness of each tentacle far exceeds Jason’s height. It is not easy to inflict fatal wounds even if you attack it hard with a sword sword whose length stays at the stem of 1m.

Its current attack is like an ant stabbing a person with a toothpick. It is not easy for ants to kill a person unless they stab a vital point with a toothpick.

Even if the wounds are deep, I have the characteristic of ‘regenerative power’. Unless the tentacle is completely cut off, a wound of this magnitude will heal quickly.

‘Of course, it consumes quite a bit of energy.’

Each time the eroding tentacles cut deeper, the time it took to keep the King of Monsters shortened, but I didn’t show it.

What I will do is simple.

Making it look like it overwhelms it with its massive size.

In other words, violence of magnitude. This is the weapon I have prepared.

“Tsk!”

Jason must have decided that attacking with purification was pointless, so he retrieved his sword again. The beam of light that surrounded him returned to the form of a golden figure hanging on his back.

When I swung my arms while floating in the air using gravity control, a golden figure began to attack.

A shining golden sword was stuck in one of the erosion tentacles. I succeeded in cutting more than half of it, but was unable to cut it completely.

It was so painful that I felt pain relief, but I didn’t show it. Instead, taking advantage of the fact that the figure was unable to move, it targeted Jason’s body with other eroding tentacles.

When he saw the tentacles rushing towards him with their appendages wide open, he quickly stretched out his left hand. The reflection was activated and the tentacles were thrown away.

However, it is not at all easy to shake off all the tentacles attacking from six directions, each of which is hundreds of meters long. No matter how talented a ranker he is.

“Ugh!”

The sharp appendage of the erosion tentacle grazed its leg. It was a part that had been torn by my teeth and then recovered.

“This bastard is real!”

When I kept attacking the same area, Jason screamed. With that, a huge purple whip shot out from his left hand and flicked away my tentacles.

While he was fighting the tentacles and expressing his anger, I quickly approached him. As the large figure, which was over hundreds of meters high, ran at a speed, the ice beneath it shook and shattered.

I opened my mouth wide in the snow fog that rose as I moved. The lower jaw was split in two and the teeth packed in it were exposed to the outside.

‘I’ll just swallow it.’

If other humans had seen me, they would have trembled at my ugly appearance, like a maw in the abyss. Jason also let out a short curse as the giant mouth, which was tens of meters long, closed in on him.

“Shit!”

As if reacting to his swearing, the golden shape transformed into a beam of light. Jason barely escaped my lips. The guy who saw the jaw closing with a bang let out a loud scream.

“You crazy bastard!”

As soon as I heard him shout, an intangible force came over my neck and head. In addition to Gravity Control Binding, more than a few psychic power techniques were placed on my head and neck.

‘Ugh!’

It is an enormous power. Regardless of skill, the output of the opponent’s supernatural power exceeds that of No. 26.

The psychic reflective gloves must have been reflecting it, but he was even reflecting it back and causing damage to me.

“Die… 100 million?!”

He was screaming and trying to twist my neck, but his body suddenly stopped like a doll whose strings had been cut. Before he knew it, invisible threads were tightening his body.

There is no need to tell who the owner of that thread, which is made of highly compressed energy, is.

“Bad guy! What are you doing to my baby?”

Beyond the intensifying snow storm, a pink, almost purple creature is seen.

A notoriously strong enemy in the game and a being who was thought to never be a comrade.

And the first friend I made since coming to this world.

It was Sea Demon No. 26.

While No. 26 was exerting his restraints with all his might, a dragon flew up behind him.

｢Me｣｢Cold｣｢Patience｣

The impressive being with bright green wings and a long, plump tail is the small Gallagon Adha. On its back was a beastman with the head of an eagle and the body of a lion.

“Damn you, you think you’re going to lose it?”

The Mother of Sky, in Griffon beast-man mode, growls and lets out a wave of thought. Since the two have worked together several times before, they prepared to work together again this time.

Jason’s eyes widened as he saw Gallagon and Wolf approaching at very high speed.

“Holy shit!”

A purple fire burned in his eyes. Then, the purple energy escaped from his body and turned into numerous thorns.

It is an advanced psychic power technique called ‘Morta’ and has the effect of nullifying the action of other psychic powers.

“uh? “It’s loose!”

When the sharp thorns touched the invisible thread, No. 26’s restraints were immediately released.

Jason, now free, quickly twisted his waist to the side. This is because the Mother of Heaven, who was already so close that she could touch it if she stretched out her hand, hurled out the priest’s golden spear.

“Tch!”

The blade of the spear cut through the guy’s armor just in the nick of time. As the armor on the abdomen broke, Black Gallagon’s fragmented scales flew into the air.

“dare…!”

Jason roared in anger and waved his arms towards the Heavenly Mother. The golden figure synchronized with him also changed its arms into sword form and swung them wildly.

Adhai, carrying the Mother of Heaven, performed amazing aerobatics to avoid the attack. Jason kept an eye on Aadhai’s movements while blocking my erosion tentacles with his reflection.

“You insolent bastard!”

｢Danger!｣｢Danger!｣

Jason stretched out his hand, and Adhai stopped as if fixed in the air. Like No. 26, he also used restraint.

Taking advantage of that opportunity, the golden figure slashed its sword in a straight line to cut Aadhai and the Heavenly Mother apart.

‘Do you think I’ll just leave it like that?’

I spread out all of the glide shields on my combat arms and swung them vigorously in the direction where Jason was hovering.

The result created by mixing three elements: size, weight, and strength, was truly terrifying. A strong wind with tremendous force hit Jason hard.

“Huh?!”

Since he couldn’t even reflect the wind with reflection, he had no choice but to face the natural phenomenon I had created.

He closed his eyes as air was knocked out of him and snow particles hit his face. The golden shape that responded to sight crumbled into particles just as it was about to cut down Adhai.

“Don’t hit the little one and the middle one!”

No. 26’s psychic power on the snow field flowed into Aadhai. The powers of the two powerful psychics collided and the bonds on Aadhai weakened.

｢Thank you!｣

After releasing the restraints, Aadhai flapped his wings once and flew at his characteristic lightning speed to hide behind me.

“Moffak, you bastard! “What on earth did you do to manipulate Sea Demon and Gallagon?”

Jason opened his eyes and looked at the sight and screamed. He seemed more shocked by me moving with other monsters than by being linked.

‘Manipulation.’

He seems to think I’m controlling them with parasites, but that’s impossible. Because parasites can’t control large numbers of people in such detail.

And my colleagues are not the only three.

‘There’s still one more left.’

Number 26 is not the only one on the ice, which has been dyed pure white by the non-stop snowfall. The special friend he brought is waiting, hiding under the snow.

[Zuzu (Now!)]

Screamer, no PS-111, received my signal and jumped out, sprinkling snow.

PS-111, a spider-shaped monster with four pairs of legs and the head of a human woman. A new part had formed on the back of the guy, where there was nothing other than a mixture of machinery and flesh.

It was a tail. Similar to a scorpion’s tail, the end of the tail, which was curved above the body, had an object instead of a poisonous sting.

The pointy end of a harpoon reminded me of a demolisher.

‘It was successful.’

I secretly gave him an order. While I fight and lure away Jason’s men, go around and absorb the Demolisher.

The guy who created a new weapon by absorbing the Demolisher activated the weapon he had prepared.

A dark blue energy bullet that evaporates falling snow and flies away. Its target was right at Jason’s feet.

“!”

He realized it too late and tried to avoid it by turning his body. But this time, his numb thighs were the problem.

The Demolisher’s power to disintegrate everything engulfed the lower part of his left ankle.

“Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!”

Jason screamed, his left foot flying clean off. Now that he was panicking, I hit him with my fighting arm to inflict as much damage as possible.

I could definitely feel my fingertips, but I couldn’t see the guy flying away after being hit.

Eventually, a purple light flashed far away from us and its body was reorganized. The lost ankle was also back to its original state, but he didn’t seem to have forgotten the pain he had just felt.

“I will kill them all!”

With a shout, a purple line appeared from above its head and flew into the sky. I know what that image means.

‘Thunderer!’

Like Muriel, he also came with the Thunder God.

‘If I use it here, I’ll get caught up in it too.’

Even if you dodge it using the Adjuster effect, Raishin’s striking range is very wide, so it is impossible to avoid it completely. Jason is a cult ranker, so he probably knows that better than anyone else here.

‘Either I have something to believe in, or…’

I lost my senses due to anger.

Whatever it is, it seems he decided that he could kill me with the Thunder God.

If it were a game, his decision would be correct, but not here. Because I use the King of Monsters and two Bone Beasts, I won’t die even if I get hit directly by the Thunder God.

‘But not the kids.’

[Zuzuzu (everyone gathers)]

I stretched out my fighting arms and picked up No. 26 and PS-111. I was about to fall back, hugging everyone in the group with my small arms around my chest, but Jason ran up to me.

“Where are you going?”

The dozens of psychic techniques he unleashed grabbed my lower body.

“Moffak! “You die here!”

Jason’s face was distorted like a demon. The golden-shaped blade behind it flew into my carapace.

–

‘…As expected, Morph Park. It’s damn strong.’

Jason clicked his tongue inwardly.

He knew very well that the guy was infamous for his devilish skills. But I had no idea that he would fight this well in real life.

Among the rankers he killed, there was none as annoying as Moffak.

‘shit. I should have just waited for Gallagon.’

In terms of strength, Cold Blood Ranker was not that easy, but he had helpers at the time. Thanks to Chloe and Cynthia, we were able to win without difficulty.

In fact, if Black Gallagon was present in this fight, Moffak would already be dead.

‘Tsk, I didn’t expect there to be a colleague.’

Even Akira, who knows Moffak the best among his group mates, can confidently say that he travels alone. Jason has also fought Moffak several times, so he knows what kind of personality he has.

In the game, he was completely alone. Let alone cooperation, there was no communication with anyone.

Like Eimorph, who wants to feast on all life, all beings are enemies to him.

To put it mildly, the community even said that this was an AI created by the developer.

That’s why Jason was shocked that he was dragging NPCs around. It was unclear whether he was a slave ruled by parasites or whether it was a special effect he had.

‘If I can’t finish it with this attack, I’ll have to retreat.’

It is a very shameful conclusion, but it cannot be helped. I have no choice but to be satisfied with getting information about him today.

“die! “Die!”

Unlike his cold and calm interior, on the outside he screams as if he is consumed by anger. The sight of him going crazy was an act.

There was no choice but to hold on to the enormously large target.

‘Because I can escape anyway.’

The third perk he got. If you have the ability you gained by catching the Metallic Gremlin Ranker, you can easily escape from this situation.

While the battle between the monsters and Jason continued, Thunder God completed all preparations.

‘Kill!’

“die!”

The moment Jason’s outside and inside became one and shouted, yellow flames fell from the sky.

A transcendent power created by an orbital weapon named Thunder God.

In front of the sacred fire, which can be called a manifestation of God’s will, Aimov tries to revolt. Just as the devil imitated and blasphemed the power of God, yellow flames spewed out from its mouth.

The power of the two thunder gods came together and shook the sky. Psychic materialized in the form of snow, ice, and thunder. The dance of the thunder gods created by material and power was truly majestic.

It was an awe-inspiring sight that even Jason Joja, who had expected this, was impressed. He was momentarily distracted, but quickly came to his senses.

‘As expected, it’s weak!’

Compared to the attack it fired when fighting the imperial carrier, the attack it fired now was definitely weaker. It’s as if the energy output is insufficient.

‘okay. Double gigantism and the power of the god of thunder. It would be difficult to write both.’

Jason thought as the thing grew to the size of a mountain. If it continues to grow like that, the amount of energy consumed by the body will be extreme.

His prediction was correct. I could see cracks in the armor of the guy who was pouring out the power of the Thunder God.

As a result of the double enlargement, its armor has become incredibly thick, but it has now reached its limit.

‘The opportunity is now!’

As Jason concentrated, the golden figure began to shrink. Instead, the sword part of the guy only grew infinitely bigger.

After a while, the golden figure disappeared and only a huge ball of light covered Jason’s body.

Jason changed his golden shape into the beam of light he had been using for evasion and reset his goal.

It was a kind of trick that was only used for evasion. The golden figure in the form of a ray of light is one of his most powerful offensive weapons.

‘My body becomes a bullet.’

Aimorph’s carapace broke apart and began to shrink in size. The power of the thunderbolt fired by Raijin is also rapidly decreasing.

‘Just a little more…now!’

The moment the Thunder God’s light went out, Jason gave a command to the golden figure.

Fly forward and crush its head.

The moment he thought that, his body was no longer on the snow field. The pitch-black blood smeared all over the golden figure was instantly absorbed by the particles.

He turned his head and looked back.

What was there was a huge monster with a large hole in its neck. Even then, it avoided his attack, so its neck, not its head, was pierced.

Of course, that doesn’t change the fact that the wound he suffered was fatal.

Like a kite with a broken string, the monster’s body slowly fell.
