I Became an Evolving Space Monster - Chapter 395
I have several characteristics that completely change the shape of my body. A symbol of hunting in which body parts increase, or ‘organic evolution’ in which the entire body shape changes, etc.
Bone Beast is also one of those talents, but it is slightly different from the ones mentioned above. This is because it does not show any significant changes other than its body becoming larger and its carapace becoming thicker.
‘That’s right.’
I checked the body with both the hunting symbol and the bone beast applied at the same time.
The body shape itself was similar to that used when hunting symbols were used. The disappearance of vision, the highly developed auxiliary organs under the jaw, and the creation of a new bone sickle arm between the waist and pelvis are characteristics that are unique to the symbol of hunting.
What is different is that thick thorns reminiscent of stalactites have sprouted all over the body. It protruded not only from areas that originally had thick carapace, such as the head, back, and chest, but also from the arms, fingers, and tail. However, there was no problem in moving at all.
The reason is because of the structure of the spine.
The large thorns growing all over its body were made from small, saw-blade-shaped bone fragments gathered together. When I move, it freely deforms, folding or straightening accordingly. Thanks to this, I felt like I was wearing nanomachine armor from a science fiction movie.
“A huge amount of energy is observed. The body shape, color, and color are different.”
“White A, Moprani.” “Well, I’m watching.”
PS-111 and Isabelle were also surprised to see me change.
Isabelle in particular seemed impressed by not only the appearance but also the change in color. As he said, my carapace and spines are now silver and white, so it feels a lot different. So much so that if someone who doesn’t know Amorph well sees me, they’ll think I’m a completely different creature.
‘Let’s stop here to check the condition of the body.’
Now that the mutation is complete, we need to move quickly. Something has changed in the text window, but I don’t have time to check it.
‘Void Dice’ lasts a total of 3 minutes. Originally, the Hunting Symbol and Bone Beast cannot be used together, so there is a high probability that one of them will be canceled when the effect ends.
‘Or both are released.’
This is my second time using the Void Dice, so I don’t know what the results will be.
‘no. ‘Let’s not worry about that now.’
I opened my wing arms, which had shrunk during my transformation. The energy released from the wings pushed my body forward.
As I approached at high speed, the Heavenly Sword, a ship presumed to be carrying an enemy ranker, began to move.
「Goal, energy, concentration, becomes.」
PS-111 hanging on his back warned. As he said, an enormous amount of energy is gathering at the front of the ship, which resembles a sword. Since it is lightweight, it will not have the same power as a super weapon, but it will definitely not be the main gun of an ordinary battleship.
I immediately stopped flying and immediately used ‘Complex Spectral Object’ and ‘Variable Biological Weapon’ together.
Energy blooms from the surface of the body covered with clusters of thorns. At the same time, the shell that houses the erosion tentacles also wriggles.
While the haze gathered together to form a translucent mirror shape, the carapace on its back rapidly thickened. The armor of the powerful Apex creature, Magmasaur, is materializing on my body.
[Zuz zuzuzu (all down)]
As my torso swelled into a scarab-like shape, I brought Isabel and PS-111 under my chest.
At that time, the enemy’s energy cannon finished charging.
Energy heat rays similar to Gigacracker’s ion cannon spread light and get closer. Even if it is not a super weapon, it feels like it has enough energy to destroy an entire fleet.
The heat ray flying at incredible speed collides with the complex spectral body. A huge tray made of energy fields shines like a prism and shakes.
However, unlike usual, he was unable to immediately reflect the enemy’s attack.
The complex spectral object only reflects attacks from energy types that have been damaged by it. For other attacks or attacks that cannot be reflected, the damage is reduced by half.
Since the restrictions were removed thanks to the Void Dice, it might be possible to reflect this as well, but I wasn’t sure. So I bought insurance, and my expectations were correct.
The spectral body lasted for a moment, weakened the heat ray, and then disappeared. The residual energy of the heat ray assaulted me.
‘huh?’
Although defense was increased through variable biological weapons, it was not expected that it would completely offset the damage. The heat ray fired by the enemy ranker’s warship was powerful enough to activate ‘Pain Reduction’ in succession.
But the pain I felt was extremely minimal. Although the high fever was burning my body, the damage did not penetrate deep into my body.
‘This?’
The moment the heat ray hit my body, the clusters of thorns on the surface shook like waves. All the thorns on his body were folded, like a hedgehog laying down its needles. As the thorns piled up, the distance between the carapace and the thorns became narrower.
「Outer shell structure, highly hardened, confirmed, interesting.」
「Sister, be careful with your head.」
PS-111 It’s just as you said.
The material of these newly formed spines is the same as bone. Thanks to the fact that they interlock with each other to form a biological shield, defense power increases exponentially.
Thanks to this, it was able to withstand being hit by weakened heat rays while passing through a complex spectral body.
Eventually, the enemy’s attacks gradually subsided. The thorns that had been tangled on the surface were also straightened out again.
The Heavenly Sword, which released a heat ray once, retreats. Seeing that the movement was more urgent than before, I don’t think I expected this result.
‘Where are you going?’
There is now approximately 1 minute and 30 seconds left.
I spread my wings and chased after him. Battleships trying to protect the enemy ranker rained torpedoes and heat rays at me.
The thorns on the surface moved constantly to defend against enemy attacks. PS-111 and Isabelle, who were held in my small arms near my chest, also helped me keep the enemy in check.
As I didn’t stop at all, enemy battleships jumped out in front of me.
A huge barrier made of alloy blocks blocks me. If it had been like before, I would have turned around and taken a detour, but not this time. I rammed into the enemy battleships without stopping or turning around.
The intense explosion caused by the collision envelops me. The unexploded battleships push me back to the station. The warships of Megacorp and Star Union are carrying out ramming tactics at the front.
It’s foolish. I put the Ice Horror’s carapace on my head and beat them up. The sturdy ship armor that can withstand even the harsh conditions of space collapses like a sand castle.
Some ships targeted my waist and chest. PS-111 and Isabelle quickly climbed onto the ship’s deck.
「Don’t worry about us!」
「Heavenly Sword, we must remove it.」
Isabel shot a strong wave of thought.
The guy is right. You must not miss the enemy ranker here.
I cut down battleships with the bone scythe arm attached to my lower back. The outer wall, which was several meters thick, was cut like a piece of paper. This is thanks to applying the Pyromancer’s abilities to the bone scythe arm.
And he grabbed the two pieces of the battleship at once with his fighting arms. The combat arm, which mimics the Giganterium’s body, swells menacingly. In that state, the battleship was swung hard.
The steel club in my hand sweeps away the enemies surrounding me. As the ships were destroyed, explosions occurred repeatedly. I moved forward through the heat wave.
There was a heavenly sword there. He was preparing to fire his heat ray while the battleships captured me.
The distance is not that far. At this distance, you should be able to grab it and pull it with its erosion tentacles.
At that time, my body suddenly shook violently.
The Star Union’s Zax Alpha-class battleship, which was bigger than me now, hit me from above. The tentacles protruding from the armor were blocked by thick armor.
‘but….’
There is still one more way to attract the enemy.
I opened my mouth wide towards the Heavenly Sword. The tongue muscles connected to the inner double chin increase rapidly. Then the double-chinned tongue stuck out like a bullet.
Dradsong’s tongue, embodied by a variable biological weapon, is stuck in the front of the Heavenly Sword. The guy couldn’t avoid it because he couldn’t move while the heat ray was being prepared.
I pulled the tongue embedded in the outer wall of the front of the ship towards me. As the distance between me narrowed, the energy gathered in the enemy ship began to dissipate. It was clear that he was trying to cancel the heated weapon and pull out another card.
There are only ten seconds left.
There are many obstacles and time is running out to fly directly to attack the enemy.
‘Is that all there is?’
Since the dragon’s heart was disabled, I tried not to use it as much as possible, but there was nothing I could do.
The monster’s tentacles move according to my will. The energy stored in the body is converted into psychic power and gathered into the tentacles. The white tentacles are soaked in a familiar purple color.
A visible concentration of psychic power came out of the tentacles and gathered in front of the snout.
‘Now 5 seconds.’
The sphere floating in front of the head elongates. The purple line extends like the horizon created at dawn.
A powerful shield similar to that used by cults appears from the Heavenly Sword to defend against psychic breath. However, even he could not overcome the breath created by the dragon’s power.
The shield that held for a moment broke and the breath directly struck the Heavenly Sword. An explosion stronger than when a battleship exploded occurred, and the shock wave swept through the surrounding ships.
The thorns that protected me crumbled as soon as they were hit by the shock wave. At the same time, the gigantic body gradually shrunk.
「I don’t know what it is, but
it’s over.」 「Energy loss, body color, shape, restored to previous state.」
Because the duration of the Void Dice has expired, the Bone Beast is being canceled.
‘The symbol of hunting is still maintained.’
Since they are incompatible characteristics, it seemed like only one of the two was canceled.
‘Still, I’m glad I finished it before the effect wore off.’
As I thought so, I suddenly sensed a huge flow of energy from afar.
‘Sail at faster than light speed!’
Judging by the amount of energy felt through the auxiliary engines, a sizable fleet is attempting to sail at faster than light speeds. The enemy ranker must have called for support right before it oxidized along with the ship.
‘Dangerous.’
I have already used up a lot of strength and characteristics. It’s not a good idea to keep fighting a large fleet. Moreover, if there are other rankers among the enemies, things become much more complicated.
‘Here we use the Black Devourer Cannon…’
While I was thinking that, the enemy fleet leaped into the inner star system. More than hundreds of battleships appeared, clad in blue light and tearing through the black space.
You may lose your temper due to the energy drain, but you no longer have time to consider the risks.
Just as I was quickly preparing the Black Devourer cannon, I felt a familiar figure behind me.
It was Gallagon, Aadhay, who was faster than anyone I knew. A purple sphere emerged from the bundle of tentacles located at the corner of its mouth and flew towards the fleet.
The little sphere looked very fragile and insignificant. However, the owner who created the sphere was the Great Dragon Queen. It is a power that Red Gallagon tempered with starlight.
When the purple sphere, Star Flame, collided with the leader of the fleet, an enormous wave spread everywhere. It was such an enormous explosion of energy that it paralyzed the auxiliary organs for an instant.
After the energy dissipated and the shock wave subsided, nothing was felt in the area where the Star Flame swept over. The reinforcements called by the enemy disappeared without leaving even a little dust behind.
「The Power of Stars」「Twice」「It’s Hard」
Aadhai, who has wiped out the enemies, approaches staggeringly. The guy looked very tired, probably because he fired Star Flames continuously while not being a full-fledged Red Gallagon. Is it so bad that even Red Armor can’t maintain it?
「Big adult」「Me」「Did you do well?」
[zuzuzu zuzuzuzu (it was a perfect move)]
「Praise」「I’m happy!」
The guy who sensed the sincerity in my brief compliment expressed joy.
‘He did enough.’
You can rest now. Of course, the battle is not over yet, so I have to protect it. I stretched out my wing arms towards him.
At that moment, Adhai’s body trembled.
‘huh?’
A sticky liquid flows from the small Gallagon’s abdomen and spreads throughout space. He slowly fell onto my hands.
‘Aadhai?’
As soon as I realized that the liquid was blood, I quickly grabbed it and pulled it inside my body.
「Amo, f! Enemy ahead, in the rubble!”
Without any time to worry about Adhai’s condition, Isabel’s thought wave flew in.
Just as he said, there was something among the debris left behind when the Heavenly Sword exploded. A strange-looking creature was watching me, holding a rifle-shaped weapon.
‘Akira Eugene!’
The undead Megacorp ranker is aiming for my head.
