I Became an Evolving Space Monster - Chapter 363

–

“Dad, I’m so sick…”
“Really? Should I ask for some painkillers?”
“no. Just release this. “It hurts and I can’t breathe.”
“■■ Hey, isn’t there a teacher to take off the bandages right now? Let’s solve it tomorrow. huh?”
“Yes….”
“He’s nice. We ■■. Oh, by the way, Dad brought a fun movie? Let’s see together.”
“huh!”

“Nurse teacher. “What about Dad?”
“They said they couldn’t come today. So, let’s play with my sister.”
“today?”
“As you know, ■■ is a very busy person.”
“huh.”

“mom?”
“I brought our cutie’s favorite pizza, right? Shall we eat together?”
“huh.”
“Oh, don’t worry about the camera. Because it’s no big deal. Oh my, this looks delicious. right?”
“huh.”

“When on earth was that broadcast filmed?”
“What does it matter to you?”
“Are you crazy? “What on earth are you doing with a child?”
“And you? “I was only interested at first and didn’t even come to visit.”
“Huh, I’m busy too. “I can’t be in and out of the hospital every day.”
“Well, I guess you would say that with the amount of money you earn.”
“her. “I don’t think that’s what a woman who sells her child because she can’t even make that little money would say.”
“what? Who would say something like that for selling out their child? “What kind of heart do I have…”

If I hadn’t been sick, this wouldn’t have happened.

If I hadn’t gotten in the car with my dad that day, none of this would have happened.

I….

–

An auxiliary organ under the chin caught something foreign. The body that had been in a light sleep gradually woke up. As my senses returned to my body, I felt the scorching heat of the lava again.

Is it because I was immersed in boiling magma for a long time? While I was asleep for a moment, I had a dream.

‘It’s a boring memory.’

When I was young, I had an accident and was hospitalized for a long time. This is because more than half of his body was burned and he had to receive multiple treatments.

‘I never thought I would fall asleep in a lava lake.’

It got better after I became an adult, but before that, I had a hard time because of the trauma of the accident. It’s so bad that when watching a movie, just seeing the scene of lighting a fire with a lighter was enough to make my body stiffen.

‘If becoming an Amorph makes you feel better, it’s definitely an advantage.’

A strong body also heals my mental pain.

As I was thinking that, a wave flew out of my mouth.

｢Big baby, are you okay?｣
[Zuzu (Huh?)]
｢Are you not feeling well?｣

It was a wave sent by No. 26 inside the mouth of the central head. I guess he felt my emotions while I was dreaming.

[Zuzzu zuzuzuzu (I’m better now)]
｢Really?｣
｢Fever｣｢I feel｣｢Not good｣
[Zuzuz zu zuzu zuzuzu (Don’t worry. I’ll be out soon)]

After reassuring the worried kids, I opened my eyes.

The atmosphere that had been peaceful until I jumped into the lake was now completely disrupted.

The Vulkaroxes were torn to shreds and scattered around, and the Stoners seemed to have all run away. The Lavalaptors that were diving at the edge of the lake with only their tails out were in the same situation as Vulkarox.

And the person who turned the lake into a scene of massacre is there.

The monster was about 11 meters tall, and its body was covered in red scales. There is a row of sharp bone plates on the back, and two additional elongated arms are attached to the shoulder blades. Although it had four arms, its body shape itself was like that of a human or ape, with its back straightened and walking on two legs.

That monster that looks like a burning giant is the Pyromancer, a vicious predator.

The one with his back to the center of the lake was holding a Lavalaptor with four arms.

“Ki, kiik!”

The Lavalaptor resisted by swinging its tail, but it didn’t back down at all.

Instead of retreating, its four arms swelled up. Then, blood poured out of the Lavalaptor’s body and it split in half.

“Tsueuu, Tsuaaaa.”

The Pyromancer, who tore a monster half of his body to death, let out a strange cry. Intoxicated with victory, he started devouring the loot.

‘It’s an opportunity.’

I slowly approached the creature, crawling through the lava lake.

Like most creatures living on volcanic planets, Pyromancers also have very hard scales. It cannot be injured by normal attacks.

‘Besides, he has some annoying abilities.’

As the name suggests, Pyromancers have two special abilities reminiscent of fire.

One of them is a very strong recovery ability.

Its resilience is such that it can heal wounds large enough to cause death in an instant.

‘Even if only the hair remains, it can be regenerated within minutes.’

In return, a huge amount of energy is consumed, but if you look at it another way, it means that you don’t have to worry about death as long as you have energy. Because they know this, they keep eating food to store energy in their bodies. It’s like trying to keep a fire going by adding firewood.

If you don’t kill it in one go, it will constantly come back to life, so the strategy for attacking it is rather standardized.

Either use very strong firepower and kill him in one hit, or…

‘Either stop him from recovering.’

I submerged my entire body into the magma and pulled out the erosion tentacles from my back. Long, thick tentacles hidden inside the thick armor came out and approached the creature.

The guy was so caught up in eating that he didn’t notice what was behind him.

Just as the pointed appendage at the end of the tentacle was about to grab the back of the guy’s head, the guy stopped moving.

“Tsu, tsk tsk?”
‘I got caught!’

The one who was sniffing fell forward and jumped out. Almost at the same time, an appendage of an erosion tentacle lightly grazed the back of its neck. Some of its scales were torn off and its blood splattered into the air.

“Tsuaaaaak!”

When faced from the front, its face looks like a lion with scales instead of fur. The organ responsible for hearing has degenerated and disappeared, and instead, objects are sensed with highly developed eyes, nose, and tongue.

‘It is a pouched lion that has no ears and its body is covered with scales.’

A hideous-looking monster roars at me, baring its sharp fangs.

[Zuz zuzu (everyone comes out)]

When the three mouths were opened, the children inside jumped out. As if they had planned a plan in advance, No. 26’s psychic power caught him first. Next, Adhai, wearing ‘Red Armor’, attacked the frozen Pyromancer.

“Tsuaaaa!”

The guy whose upper body and lower body were separated from Adhai’s charge fell to the floor screaming.

Finally, Isabel moved like a snake and wrapped around the enemy’s torso, which had been cut in half. Dozens of hands held his arms tightly to prevent him from resisting. And then he tried to stab the guy in the head with Gallagon’s clawed tail.

“Tsutsutsu.”

However, the Pyromancer’s regenerative power was much faster than his movements. The bone plates on its back were stained white. Isabelle, who knew what that signal was, quickly relaxed.

‘I can’t leave it like that.’

When I saw the tip of the guy’s arm attached to my shoulder blade pointing towards Isabel, I hit him with my head in the middle.

The guy’s body floats in the air. At the same time, the white light coloring the bone plate can be seen moving to the two arms attached to the shoulder blades.

Just before it flew away due to the impact of colliding with me, it swung its white arm widely.

The distance is so close that it cannot be avoided. The right horn that the guy’s fingertips touched was cut in half.

｢Pain relief activated!｣
｢Big adult!｣

The guy who broke my horn flew backwards and landed on the ground covered in volcanic ash.

Looking at that alone, it seems like he did more damage, but that’s not true. This one has a damaged horn, but the other one has no injuries.

I threw a tentacle towards the place where he was stuck. The appendage at the end of the tentacle got stuck in the guy’s shoulder.

“Tsutsutsu.”

It cried out in frustration and hit the tentacle with its white arm.

｢Pain reduction activated!｣

A pain relief message pops up again. The current blow almost completely cut off the tip of the tentacle with its appendages. I quickly pulled the tentacle back.

‘It’s annoying.’

If the amazing regenerative power symbolizes an endlessly burning fire, those white arms symbolize the heat of the fire.

Pyromancers can convert the energy stored in their bodies into heat using the bone plates on their backs. When the bone plate turns white, it means it is ready to transfer stored heat to the arm of the scapula.

And the arm filled with heat becomes a famous sword that can cut through anything. Its power is enough to easily destroy the skull and thoracic carapace, which are the hardest parts of my body.

A predator with ideal means of attack and defense. That is the characteristic of a pyromancer.

‘Thanks to the illusion of hell, it ended without being cut.’

Normally, it should have lost both its horns and its tentacles. It was barely cut thanks to the ‘Illusion of Hell’ which provides a heat dissipation effect.

｢Big Adult｣｢Are you okay?｣
｢Bad Human! “Bad human being!”
“Those shitty traits are still the same.”

The kids also stayed back and worried about me. Because they know that the enemy has terrible attack methods, they do not rush in.

“Tsutsutsu.”

The guy is wagging his tongue. It looked as if it was laughing at me.

This one suffered damage to one tentacle and one horn, but it looks fine with no injuries. Even if I were in his shoes, I would definitely react that way.

‘but….’

This one is not stupid either.

My erosion tentacles have a secret that Isabel and the Pyromancer don’t know. The only trait I have is one that interacts with the appendages at the end of the tentacles.

It takes some time for the trait effect to take effect.

‘It will take about 3 minutes, at most 5 minutes.’

Considering its size, it might be shorter than that. If you receive additional attacks from erosion tentacles here, it will become shorter.

I retrieved the badly injured tentacle and pulled the other tentacle out. The kids also started taking action in response to my movements.

Just like the first time, this time too, No. 26 launched the attack first. As the intangible psychic power fluctuated, the Pyromancer responded immediately. Even if you can’t see it with your eyes, you have a wild sense that something is approaching.

The guy moved nimbly and escaped the scope of No. 26’s restraints. One guy didn’t panic and continued with his next attack.

A purple protective shield connected to the tentacles of the creature hiding under the black ash protruded from beneath its feet. The lower part of his calf that touched the shield was instantly destroyed.

While the guy lost his leg and was floating in the air for a moment, Isabel flew towards him. Just like before, Isabel wrapped him around him. The difference is that the guy’s arms are holding onto the Pyromancer’s bone plates.

A metallic sound came from Isabelle’s arm, the bone plate cracked, and intense steam came out. The organ that converts energy into heat was damaged, and the white color immediately drained from its arms.

And finally, Aadhai flew into the guy wearing red armor. The target of its blood-red paws is the enemy’s head.

Sensing that he could not escape because he was tied to Isabel, he took drastic measures. Just tearing off the head and part of the upper body.

｢What is it?｣
“Tsuaaak!”

It tore off part of its torso and threw it at Aadhai. During the short time it was flying, the guy who had regenerated part of his body got on top of it.

｢You｣｢Disgusting!｣

While Aadhai was twisting his body to throw the guy off, the guy’s arm turned white.

At that time, his body was pushed by something invisible and fell to the ground.

｢You can’t bully a little baby!｣
“Tsuak!”

After briefly expressing his anger, the Pyromancer immediately turned his back and started running in the opposite direction. They are not running away, but trying to replenish their energy with other food.

‘Where.’

I strengthened my legs and kicked the ground. Even without spreading my wings, my body rose high.

“Tsuaaaaak!”

The guy running is startled when he sees a shadow falling over his head. I tried to crush him like this, but he rolled to the side and avoided it.

As soon as I landed, I swung my tail at the guy. The guy who was hastily stuffing a nearby corpse into his mouth saw the two-pronged tail coming towards him and immediately responded.

The white arm collides with my clawed tail. He’s been the guy who’s been cutting off my carapace like a radish, but not this time.

Considering my size, the size of the tongs is enormous. No matter how big of a guy’s arm it is, it’s impossible to cut it off all at once.

While the pincer was sacrificially squeezing the creature, the erosion tentacle was targeting the creature. The sharp appendage stuck into the guy’s shoulder, just like the other tentacle did earlier.

“Tsu, tsuaa!”

Since I wasn’t the only one here, he gave up his weapon. The guy who cut off his own arm quickly widened the distance.

“Tsuaaaaak!”

Although he had been fatally wounded several times in less than a few minutes, he was no different from when we first encountered him. It was truly a wonderful recovery.

That guy probably knows that too, so he roars proudly.

‘Well, I wonder what it will be like.’

This is the third time. The number of times the eroding tentacle’s appendages injected ‘something’ into its body.

“Tsuaa, evil?”

The thing stops moving. The guy who sensed an abnormality occurring in his body tilts his head.

However, it is too late to realize this now.

“Tsu, Tsutsu?!”

The guy looks at his crystallized shoulder and becomes embarrassed. I swung my other arm and broke the scales on my shoulder, but it was no use.

Because the silicon-based microorganisms I injected have already spread throughout his body.

“Is that by any chance?”
[Zuz zuzu zuzu zuzu zuzu (what you think is right)]

A trait named after a mythical monster that turns anyone who looks at it into stone.

The ‘Medusa organ’, the only characteristic of the environmental adaptation series, was turning the Pyromancer into a piece of quartz.

“Twaaagh?! Tsuaaaaak!”

The guy struggled, breaking the parts of his body that were turning into a crystal-like substance.

If the back of the neck was first attacked and then the shoulder was stabbed, if those areas had been cut out, this wouldn’t have happened. It is useless to remove the contaminated area before the microorganisms in Medusa’s organ spread.

One guy didn’t know that, and even left that part behind to regenerate the rest of his body. Thanks to this, microorganisms were able to quickly spread throughout the body.

Now, its transcendental regenerative power is practically neutralized. In a situation where its regenerative power and the Medusa organ are walking a tightrope, it will not be able to regenerate its body hastily.

[Zuzu zuzuzu zuzu zuzu zuzuzu zuzuzu zuzu (Do you think I came to catch you without thinking?)]

A pyromancer with the body of an ideal hunter.

The Apex creature that had once been so confident was no longer there. The thing in front of me was just scared prey.

As always, it was never difficult to kill prey that had lost its will to fight.

A word from the author (author review) Please take care of zakuti.

｢Medusa Organ: Silicon-based microorganisms are injected into the target to mutate their genes. Beings with mutated genes crystallize in stages over time.
