I Became an Evolving Space Monster - Chapter 224

Ep. 224

–

Ham Ort was dreaming.

The Pure White Queen, the great Od Grad’s companion and traitor.

She had a name that was both praised and despised, but it wasn’t like that from the beginning.

She opened her eyes and saw a familiar face in front of her. The black-scaled male she met when she had just shed her white-scaled form.

His impressively curved horns and eyes full of intelligence were called Od Grad.

When he first became the leader, he was such a good male that it is difficult to imagine now. He cared for his compatriots and young hatchlings more than anyone else, and knew how to respond wisely when a crisis came to the group.

That’s why she admired him. Not because he was the leader, but because I loved his wisdom, his strength, and his goodness.

His innocent face became blurred for a moment, but then became clear again.

Now his face is very different from before. The horns and smooth scales on their heads were all the same, but there was one crucial difference.

In the past, eyes full of intelligence were nowhere to be found. Instead, only anger and infinite hatred of unknown origin remained.

For what reason did a good being change like this? Is it because of the pressure of leading a group or for another reason?

The reason is unknown, but that is not the important part.

Whatever it was, the ‘great’ Ohd Grad she loved had completely disappeared from this world.

The black leader ordered her.

To kill her daughter.

As the herd grew, more and more people of their compatriots were unable to receive proper nutrition. Even healthy hatchlings become weaker every time the star changes.

In such a situation, her daughter, who was born small, was nothing more than a food eater.

She knew he wasn’t wrong.

Still, she wanted her daughter to live as long as she could.

One day, her daughter may go out hunting while weak and end up being hunted. Or, they may lose the competition for food with other members of their species and starve to death.

The world they live in is a harsh and cruel world. She can’t change the world. She knows it too.

However, I wanted to avoid killing my daughter because she was useless.

So she decided.

Let’s take advantage of the thieves who came to steal the eggs.

The figure of Od Grad in front of her disappeared like fog. Instead, a familiar darkness appeared.

She flapped her wings in the infinite dark space she had looked up from, whether from her nest or her hunting ground.

I see a small light in the distance.

A light that looks like the starlight that blessed her daughter when she was born, but is actually much smaller.

The light that burned Yoosung’s daughter gradually became smaller and soon disappeared.

The moment the world was plunged into darkness, she opened her eyes on the swamp.

–

Red Gallagon is a powerful predator that ranks in the top ten in terms of danger. Even though it is Gallagon in name only, it can be considered a different species in reality.

In addition to the psychic power used by regular Gallagons, they use a unique power and ability system called ‘Dragon Power’.

There are many different types of Dragon Power technology, but they have common characteristics. When the dragon power is activated, red light emanates from the body.

This was the same for Aadhai, the half Red Gallagon.

Red dye spread from its wings and horns, staining its body.

‘I’m still immature.’

The flow of energy burning like fire in its body was clearly due to dragon power, but it was very different from what I remembered.

It should not look like it is burning brightly like Aadhai, but rather it should look like a red air current is subtly spread all over the body, like coating scales.

The effects of all Dragon Power techniques are terrifying. So he must be able to control his power at all costs.

｢Too much｣｢Strong｣｢Control｣｢Difficult｣

[Zu zuz zuz (You can do it)]

“Little baby! Just do it like fluttering!”

“I’ll try.”

After hearing what No. 26 and I said, Aadhai began to concentrate. Most of the air currents coming out of the horns and wings disappeared and settled where they originally came from.

The remaining energy that was not able to do so seeped into the red wave pattern on the guy’s body. A bright red aura bloomed brightly around the eyes of the guy who succeeded in stabilizing his power.

The figure looked as if it had been made up with blood.

｢Success｣

‘Although it is unsafe.’

It was obvious that he was bluffing, but I didn’t say anything. Just being able to control that powerful power to this extent in a short period of time is amazing.

[Zuzuzuzu zuzzuzu (Do you have the power to use it?)]

｢One｣｢It seems possible｣

[Zuzuzuz (Try it once)]

The guy concentrated without moving from his spot. Soon, red light flowed from its four wings, staining its entire head and front paws red.

“and! Interesting! “The little one has become distracted!”

Number 26, which is sensitive to energy and wavelengths, immediately guessed what state Aadhai was in.

The name of that technology is ‘Red Armor’.

According to the setting, Red Gallagon focuses dragon power on specific body parts to protect important parts, thereby increasing hardness to an extreme degree. In other words, as No. 26 said, it is a characteristic that strengthens the user.

For a boss creature’s ability, it seems more boring than expected, but that ability is the main culprit in making it difficult to kill Red Gallagon.

‘Because it’s one of the best defense techniques in space survival.’

The key feature of Red Armor is that it cannot be destroyed by any attack.

No matter how powerful the weapon, such as the Cosmic Bolt of the Imperial Carrier or the Whip of God, cannot damage the area where Red Armor is activated. Since it is a dragon power technique, my horn, which nullifies psychic power, does not work.

So Red Gallagon’s weakness is not his head or his heart. The part where the Red Armor is deactivated is the only part that can cause damage to it.

‘The problem is that the actual Red Gallagon covers most of its body in red armor.’

In addition, Red Gallagon can move parts that cannot be covered by Red Armor at any time.

It is an enemy with incredible specifications, but it has only one weak point, and the only strategy is to attack its weak point as it moves from time to time. It is bound to be so difficult that you will feel dizzy.

‘It was really hard for me to catch Red Gallagon, too.’

After watching other players fight against it, I figured out its behavior algorithm, figured out where it mainly hides its weaknesses, and finally caught it.

‘It’s a trap that I couldn’t obtain the genetic essence even after doing that damn thing.’

I remember having to start over from the beginning because my hard work for several weeks was in vain.

Anyway, Aadhai is still immature, so only his head and front feet are covered in red armor. As he becomes more proficient here, he will be able to expand the range of Red Armor further.

If that happens, you won’t have to worry about his life anymore.

‘I was worried because he was small, but I’m glad he did.’

｢Feeling｣｢Strange｣

[zuzuzu zuzuzu zuzuzuzu (hit your head against a tree)]

｢It hurts｣｢I don’t like it｣

[zuzu zuzuzuzu zuzu zuzuzu (you won’t be in pain)]

Hearing what I said The guy hesitated and then walked near the tree. When the guy stabbed the tree hard with the horn on its head, the tree fell down helplessly.

｢Amazing｣

[Zuzu zuzu zuzuzu zuzu zuzu zuzu zuzu zuzu (As long as you have that strength, you will never get hurt)]

The guy who was hitting the fallen tree with his front paws, which were as hard as his head, looked back at me.

｢I｣｢I don’t know｣｢Big adult｣｢How｣｢Do you know?｣

[Zuzuz zuzuzu zuzuzu (I’ve seen it before)] ｢

Not me｣｢｣｢The power of the stars｣｢Kingdom｣｢Also｣ ｢Are you there?｣

[zuzuzu zuzu (not right now)]

｢?｣

The guy tilted his head, but there was nothing more to say other than this. Because I can’t say I saw it in the game.

‘Maybe we should talk about it someday.’

The fact that I am a foreigner.

I have to leave this world and return to where I came from. From the beginning, we are still moving towards that goal.

However, the closer I get to that goal, the more factors that make me conflict.

No. 26 Aadhai Mother of Heaven and PS-111.

What will happen to them if I leave? Will you get along on your own or will you miss me? Who is the Mother of Heaven, a player like me? If I see the ending, will we be able to return to reality together?

A thought suddenly occurred to me, and as I was still, No. 26 sent a wave.

｢Big babies are amazing because they don’t know anything.｣

｢Recognition｣｢Big adults｣｢Cool｣｣｢Strong｣｢Smart｣

｢Big babies have a lot of appendages and their bodies are very big.｣

｢Horns｣｢Wings｣｢They are all cool｣

Starting with issue 26, the guys poured out their pure emotions. Instead of answering, I stretched out my wing arm and petted them.

‘It’s a question that can’t be answered right away.’

You don’t have to choose today.

But one day, the time will inevitably come when you will have to choose an answer. If you don’t want to regret it then, you’ll have to keep thinking about it in the future.

[Zuzzuzu zuzu zu zuzuzuzu (You guys are a great gift to me)]

｢Gift? Big baby, are you hungry?｣

｢Me｣｢Big adult｣｢Say｣｢What does it mean｣｢I know｣｢Me｣｢Little adult｣｢Meaning precious｣ No. 26, who always

shows an innocent attitude, shows off his smartness as he has grown up. high. Even in real life, I have not been able to form deep human relationships with others. As he said, to me, who is sick both in appearance and in mind, these guys are very precious beings.

‘…Why did I suddenly have this thought?’

It’s not a bad thing to be sentimental, but there’s still a lot of work to be done. I let go of the two and relayed the message of what to do next.

[Zuuuu zuz zuz zuzzu zzu (Aadhai, you can release the power now)]

｢Confirmed｣｢Power｣｢Released｣

When the dragon power was released, its body returned to its original state.

[Zuzu zuzuzu zuzu zuzu zuzuzu zuzuzu (Okay. Next time, attack me with your original strength)]

｢Confirmation｣｢Big Adult｣｢Attack…｣｢?｣

｢Itchy? “Would you like me to scratch it for you?”

Perhaps because the words were omitted too much, no one understood. I explained step by step what I meant.

｢An adult｣｢The power of your own people｣｢Damage｣｢The more you receive｣｣Do you adapt?｣

[Zuz zuzu zuzu zuzu zuzu zuzuzu ((Yes. It’s a new power I gained while growing up)]

｢Unintelligible｣

Aadhai said directly It seemed difficult to understand, perhaps because he was in a position to attack me.

Mimic scales are an unfamiliar characteristic to Gallagons. It would be even more incomprehensible to Aadhai, who has lived his entire life avoiding attacks from other creatures due to his weak body.

“Big Adult” “Say,” “Always,” “Good,” “So,” “I’ll follow.”

[Zuzuz (Thank you)]

In the end, after explaining it a few more times, he understood what I said.

Aadhai stepped back and widened the distance between me and him. While preparing to attack, I also explained to No. 26: “Can I just do it

like I did when I scold the bad guy?”

[Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu zuz

Yes, both the big and little ones trust me.”

The reason I tried to activate the mimic scales while fighting enemies is because of the characteristic I possess, ‘Super Power Reflective Gloves.’

This characteristic is used when I take damage from a psychic power attack. It automatically reflects energy equivalent to 30% of the damage. If Aadhai had a large body and hard scales like a regular gallagon, it would not have been harmed by the reflected attack. Unfortunately, it has a weaker body compared to other gallagons

. His current defense power is lower than that of a regular Green Gallagon.

In other words, he is no different from a flying glass cannon. Even if he takes damage equal to 30% of the breath he shoots, it will be fatal. ‘That’s

why we need No. 26.’

No. 26 is psychic. The ability to control power is excellent. He can manipulate the reflected energy to nullify it or change its direction to make it fly somewhere else.

‘Since I got the Red Armor, I can help him on my own in the future, but…’

Currently, Aadhai is inexperienced in using dragon power, so he needs No. 26.

So me and the guys finished all the preparations. Adhai, who had gained a reasonable distance, sent a wave of thought towards me.

｢I｣｢Now｣｢I’ll attack｣

[Zu (Yes)]

｢If it hurts｣｢Tell me｣｢I’ll stop｣

[Zuzuzuz zuzu zuzuzuzu (don’t worry, shoot with all your might)]

The guy nodded slightly.

Soon, a bright purple light flowed from the bundle of tentacles hanging from the corner of its mouth. The psychic power, which had become so dense that it could be touched directly, solidified into the form of a small energy bullet.

And the first shot was fired. Behind the psychic breath that flew through the air, second and third energy bullet-shaped breaths poured out again.

Adhaiman’s psychic breath, which the other Gallagons did not use, flies towards me.

The moment the first shot landed on my head, a fairly powerful shock spread throughout my entire skull. Even while I was aware of the pain, psychic breaths continued to hit the same area.

But my pain is not that important here. Now we have to see where that attack will go.

Regardless of my will, the psychic reflective gloves were activated and 30% of the energy of the energy bullet fired by Adhai was reflected. Some flew towards Aadhai and some bounced towards No. 26 next to him.

And No. 26 caught it all without losing a single bit of energy.

Its tentacles waved like conductors directing a musical orchestra. The energies floating in the air gathered in one place and flew high into the sky.

‘it’s okay.’

[Zuzuzuzu zuz (Just do it like this)]

Is it because we fought together so many times? Even though it was their first time, everyone did it skillfully.

Afterwards, the same action was repeated several times.

Adhai was hesitant when he saw that my scalp was messed up, but I convinced him that it would be okay as it would recover quickly. Let’s pretend we’re practicing to fight Od Grad.

I don’t know if my persuasion worked or if he felt the need for training, but after hearing what I said, he attacked without hesitation.

When I was attacked by this guy about 30 times.

There was a change in my carapace and outer shell. The hard surface of the carapace and scales became mushy like jelly.

Within seconds, tiny scales sprouted from beneath the surface and covered the body. At the same time, a semi-transparent text box appeared.

｢Mimetic Scale Activation Target: Psychic Power｣

｢Duration: 3 days｣

｢Caution: Superpower reflective gloves are temporarily deactivated.｣

While I was looking at the text box, Aadhai’s psychic breath came flying again.

An energy so powerful that it made my entire head tremble collided with my skull. I didn’t feel any pain, just the sensation of being hit.

‘done.’

Preparations for activating the mimic scale are complete.

‘The next three days.’

No Gallagon, not even the black dragon Od Grad, will be able to harm me.
