I Picked a Mobile From Another World - Chapter 231
Episode 231 [Encounter (1)]
The ruins within the mountain range were largely divided into three.
Step pyramid and surrounding buildings above ground. And at the very bottom is the tomb where the owner of the ruins sleeps.
Lastly, the middle square where various grave goods showing off the power of the dead were placed.
In the square are the treasures of the tomb owner. Mummies of slaves and wives buried together.
Thousands of earthenware figurines. Terracotta warriors filled the square.
Scattered among the terracotta warriors were long bones that looked like snake bones and egg shells.
The Terracotta Warriors had suffered great and small hardships after the monsters entered here, but today they were suffering great damage.
A huge snake came from underground and settled down, crushing the Terracotta Warriors.
Hundreds of earthenware soldiers returned to the dust, and treasures that had survived for a long time were covered by the earth.
The huge serpent that came up from the underground tomb took its place in the square and did not move any longer.
Originally, the monarch planned to catch the humans outside with the races that came running.
But that plan was ruined thanks to the humans who invaded the nest.
They tried to stop humans from entering the nest, but failed because the humans destroyed the path.
If the person giving me advice was alive, he would have told me a different way. The monarch felt a little regretful about killing the contaminated human.
In the end, the monarch had no choice but to wait for humans here.
It would be difficult if the nest collapsed while fighting with humans in the burrow.
With this underground plaza, there was no need to worry about it collapsing even if there was intense movement.
There were a lot of little things on the floor, but they weren’t enough to impede movement.
Kwazijic.
As the monarch slowly turned over, dozens of earthenware soldiers broke apart. It would have been an uproar if archaeologists found out, but there was no one here to stop the monarch.
After a while, humans appeared from a large cave.
*
The awakened people who entered the underground plaza turned pale when they saw the huge snake coiled in the center of the plaza.
There was a huge snake that you only see in monster movies.
“Could it be a sculpture?”
“You’re wagging your tongue? Are there any moving pieces?”
“There was also a robot exhibit in Japan. I heard that it has also been transformed….”
“I’m sure there is something like that in a place like this.”
Some awakened people ran away from reality and said,
“No, is this a monster again? “It was a more hardcore work life than I expected.”
“Are you going to resign?”
“No way. Isn’t it dangerous anywhere else? “The best place is one with plenty of equipment and good grades.”
Some of the awakened people said realistic things.
However, the rest of the awakened people looked at the huge snake located in the center of the underground plaza with nervous expressions.
Unlike the other awakened people, Kyung-hoon was examining the walls and ceiling of the underground plaza.
“How does it look?”
-Rail guns cannot be used. There is a greater than 70% chance of the ruins collapsing when using the railgun.
– Please be careful of large sword destruction attacks.
Kyung-hoon clicked his tongue at Eve’s answer. As expected, the terrain was bad.
If it weren’t for the enemies rushing in, it would have been much better to fight on the ground.
In the end, the main weapon had to be sealed for fear of the ruins collapsing. It seemed like the fight was going to get difficult.
Shane, who entered the square last, looked around and tilted his head.
“Where are the other snakes?”
Snakes that were small, around a person’s waist, and large, thicker than a tree, attacked Gyeong-hoon and his group.
Moreover, the snakes were so long that their tails could not be seen.
After the first attack, another passage was opened in advance, so there was no direct combat, but no one in the party noticed the signs.
Kyung-hoon also wondered why there were no snakes in sight.
He had thought that snakes would greet the group when they came here, in addition to that giant serpent.
While the giant snake and the group were examining each other, Eve recognized the snake’s identity.
-It looks a bit different, but it is a monarch-level Jormungand. Finally, a monarch-level giant snake has appeared in this world.
-It is a giant snake-type mutant that grows by eating its own kind. The rank ranges from knight level to monarch level. The monster in front of you clearly looks like a monarch.
It’s been a long time since Eve read the contents of the encyclopedia.
Kyung-hoon also remembered. It was a monster that had been fought in Brazil.
At that time, Gyeonghun’s level was low and the monster was only a knight level.
“What did you say your weakness was?”
-The feature of being faster in water than on land…
was a really useless feature.
“Is there anything known about the monarch level? “It won’t be the same as the knightly level.”
Kyaaaaaak.
At that time, the huge snake opened its mouth towards the group.
Green spittle fell and melted the floor, and a terrible smell flew toward the group. If it were an ordinary person, I would have fainted just from the smell.
-Perhaps…
“I understand. Was the added trait poison?”
Kyung-hoon then spoke to Shane.
“Please take care of your teammates.”
Shane stood in front of the rest of the group and answered,
“I’ll support you.”
[This place. my. It’s a nest. Food too. [No way…]
The moment Shane finished speaking, images poured out toward Kyung-hoon and the group.
“Ugh!”
“What is this!”
The group screamed as they experienced their first mental attack.
Ta-ta-ta-tang!
At that moment, the machine gun opened fire. Shane stepped forward.
The image froze due to the sudden gunfire.
“Vasily! Shield!”
At that moment, Kyung-hoon shouted,
“Yes, yes!”
Buuuuung.
Kyung-hoon jumped as he heard the sound of a shield being deployed behind him.
*
[Death. Resolution. I have to…]
A storm of images came again, but this time there were no screams. Vasily’s shield blocked the image to some extent.
However, it was not a shield to block mental attacks. I didn’t know how long I would last.
Ta-ta-tang! Whoa!
Bullets and flames flew over Kyung-hoon as he ran.
Inside the shield, Shane and the Awakened began to attack.
Unfortunately, the Awakened’s attack could not penetrate the monarch’s defense shield. Only the organ bullet fired by Shane pierced the shield and set the skin on fire.
But it was a great help in blocking the view.
In an instant, Jormungand got closer. The giant snakes I had seen before were incomparably larger.
It wasn’t the size of an earth dragon, but it looked about the size of a snake wrapped around a high-rise building that I saw in an old movie.
Kyung-Hoon looked at Jormungand’s head engulfed in flames.
“There was a mana stone in your head, right?”
-It was located behind the cerebellum.
Kyung-hoon had not forgotten the memory of digging up Jormungand’s mana stone in Brazil.
Chik chik.
The monster’s green spit flew through the flames. It was poison.
Now there was no need to consciously move mana.
The moment my mind moved, the mana circulating in my body spurted out from under the soles of my feet.
My body soared upward without even hitting the ground.
The venom passed under my feet and
I roared.
The poison that fell on the floor melted the stone slab.
Cheek, chik.
Next, poison continued to fly, but all of it only passed by Gyeong-Hoon’s feet.
Kyung-hoon soared higher and higher. Every time he took a step, mana spurted out and his body soared upward.
-Does it seem like the light angle has increased further? Shall we call it Eogichungso? A walk in the air?
It was a use of mana that no one had been able to accomplish. Eve talked about the name of a technique she saw in a martial arts magazine, but Kyung-hoon didn’t reply.
It wasn’t that great. All I did was use the reaction of mana to float my body.
A snake head full of thorns approached me. He soared up to the head of Jormungand.
Gyeonghoon infused mana into the great sword.
He intended to plunge the great sword into the head and explode it.
If you are unlucky, the mana stone will be shattered, but there was no time to worry about the mana stone right now.
Ugh.
Cracks began to appear in the great sword.
The thorns covering its head were quite cumbersome. It was not easy to insert the sword while avoiding the thorns.
Kyung-hoon kicked his foot again and shot forward.
The target was the monster’s eye.
Kyung-Hoon thrust his sword forward, and the monster’s elongated pupils narrowed even further.
At that moment, the hair on the back of my head stood up.
Those eyes were not ones that sensed a threat. Rather, it was the eyes of a bug that had fallen into a trap.
“shit!”
Although the sword had not been inserted yet, Kyung-Hoon immediately infused mana into the sword.
At that moment, thorns covering his face began to grow.
It was like a sharp tentacle. And at the end of the tentacle, a snake head appeared.
It looked like a thorn, but it wasn’t a thorn. The thorns covering its head were all the heads of small snakes.
All the snakes that grew from Jormungand’s head rushed towards Gyeonghun.
Dozens and hundreds of snakes, big and small, were shot out with their mouths open.
Some snakes tried to shoot fire, while others tried to spit venom.
However, neither flames nor poison spewed out.
First, the sword Kyung-hoon was holding exploded.
Kwaaaaang!
With the explosion, fragments of the great sword poured towards the monster.
Puff puff!
The snake’s head filled with flames was cut off, and the snake that was leaking venom was crushed.
Most of the snakes that were attacking were swept away by the explosion.
Kyung-hoon was also thrown back.
Although I blocked the explosion with a shield, I was too close to the enemy.
The shock was not small. Kyung-hoon also flew for a long time and ended up on the floor. The stone slabs were shattered and the earthen soldiers were scattered to pieces.
Kyung-hoon, who was sitting on the floor, pulled out the great sword from sub-space again.
Crumbling.
The snakes that had grown from the monster’s head were torn to pieces.
Only the body remained, flopping over its head.
But the rest of my body was immediately sucked into my head. And then it returned to its original form.
No, it wasn’t a thorn. Numerous snake heads were sticking out above Jormungand’s head.
Everything recovered in an instant.
“I’m sure they weren’t the ones who attacked in the passage, right?”
-I think that’s right. The appearance is also the same.
“It’s much bigger. And you pulled it out that long? “It’s not even a rubber band.”
-It is not impossible as long as you pull out just one long piece.
Seeing as they attacked one by one, it seemed like Eve was right.
“So, not only the length, but also the size can change.”
In this case, poison was not the problem.
“Are you using characteristics for each head? “It’s an unbelievable monster.”
-It appears that the original monster has the ability to manifest in its body the kind it ate.
“Are you saying that all of those snakes are of the same species that that guy caught and ate?”
– Not sure, but very likely.
Sssss.
While Gyeonghoon was talking with Eve, Jormungand was also keeping a lookout for Gyeonghoon.
Jormungand never thought there would be such a strong human.
If I had known that such a strong person existed, I might have been cautious.
But I couldn’t back out now.
Jormungand made his compatriots appear again.
The thorns covering its head shot out at the humans.
Numerous snake heads grew towards strong humans and other humans.
Flames shot out, and broken stone slabs and earthen soldiers flew towards the snake.
“shit! “It’s gross!”
“Shield! “Defense shield!”
The awakened people screamed, spouting flames and throwing objects with telekinesis.
The faces of the weak awakened people turned white.
Tudadadada!
Shane also pointed his gun at the approaching snake head, but another snake head continued to grow behind the collapsing snake head.
However, there were only a few snake heads attacking Shane and his group.
bang!
The great sword exploded and hundreds of snake heads were torn off.
But the snakes grew again and shot towards Kyung-hoon.
Gyeong-Hoon dodged his body as if he were flying, raised his sword to cut off the snake, and opened up his greatsword when there was danger.
The underground square was a mess.
Countless snakes burst out, but there was no end to the snakes growing from Jormungand’s head.
I brought many great swords, but there was no answer to this.
Kyung-hoon felt like he was increasingly being put on the defensive.
At that time, something strange appeared in Kyung-hoon’s eyes.
There was someone sneaking up next to the coiled body of Jormungand.
An awakened person who secretly followed the party to the ruins.
It was Yeongcheol.
