Became an Evolving Space Monster - Chapter 188
Only Noblemtl
Ep. 187
“Huh!”
I tried to tear Jason apart with the bone blade on my back arm.
But my attack went down the drain as the ‘Adjuster’ effect was activated.
The golden spear of the priest that the man was holding sunk deep into his eye.
The enemy had already anticipated the use of the coordinator. The blade bones surrounding the auxiliary organs were rattling busily.
Having predicted the direction in which Jason would appear, I rushed toward him without a moment’s hesitation.
“Revenant Agency… Whew!”
Jason, reconstructed from a few dozen meters away, screamed and then shut his mouth when he saw me quickly approaching.
The golden figure on his back hurriedly tried to transform its arm into a sword.
‘As expected, the compatibility between the tuner and the person boasting is not very good.’
From what we’ve seen so far, after teleportation, it always remains fixed in a human-like form. In other words, it can be seen that the weakness of the golden form is completely exposed every time it teleports.
The weakness is that there is a certain delay when the shape changes shape.
Before the golden figure could transform its arm into a sword, my combat arm clawed at it.
“Kwaaaaah!”
The guy whose face was scratched by my nails screams. Blood spurts from his eyes that were split in half by the nails.
The golden figure that stood on the back and firmly protected the summoner trembled unsteadily and then disappeared. The golden figure is deeply dependent on the vision of its controller. Since the creature temporarily lost its vision, the golden figure also had no choice but to disappear.
“This fucking dog…!”
He activated Reflection at the same time he swung his Purification. But I was already back. His attack was useless, cutting through the air.
“You little rat! You’ll be finished with one blow…!”
A new eye appeared on his forehead, where blood was pouring out of both eyes.
The name of that eye is ‘Third Eye’. It is a technique that grants the caster an effect similar to the auxiliary organ that I possess.
It’s a good detection skill that can detect invisible enemies or movements, but there’s one thing it doesn’t know.
“Undercover Fur: A perk provided by the ‘Clever Underdog’ trait. The subtle waves created by the swaying fur provide the user with a stealth effect that allows them to avoid detection equipment, traits, and skills.”
While the kids were holding him back, I prepared the clever underdog and the hunting symbol at the same time.
When the King of Monsters effect ended, he was reborn as a small monster 5m tall, using the fallen carapace as cover.
My body type is more like a centaur than a snake, with four arms for fighting extending down my lower body. On top of my body’s carapace and scales, I have strong protective hairs.
That’s not all, my body is equipped with a number of lethal weapons. Two new arms with bone scythes are attached between the hairs covering my back, and an auxiliary organ covered with bladed bones is waiting under my chin.
A clever underdog who uses agility as his weapon, and a symbol of hunting that greatly enhances his fighting prowess.
These are the final cards I have prepared to conclude this showdown.
Since you’ve already used the King of Monsters, a clever transformation into a weakling is impossible. ‘Organic Evolution’ has a cooldown of one month each time you use it.
However, the Revenant Agency overrides this restriction.
While the small organ attached to my heart is awake, I can use all of my attributes without limitation.
There are two reasons why we chose to go smaller instead of going bigger.
I don’t have much energy left right now. Even if I use something like the King of Monsters to grow giant, it won’t last long.
And if you grow bigger, it will be harder to avoid enemy attacks. Even now, blood is still flowing out of my neck, soaking my fur. It is not good to take any more damage.
‘Instead, it is finished in a short period of time.’
With this thick fur covering my body, there’s no way for him to detect me, not until he sees me with his own eyes.
Transformed into a clever underdog, I had a body structure similar to a centaur and ran across the snow on my four legs.
The guy who figured out my location by sound fired a barrage of psychic power techniques like Pain Spear at me. I narrowly avoided his attacks and approached him again.
Even though his vision hadn’t recovered yet, he read my attack and cast Reflection right away. He smiled in satisfaction as my arm stopped in midair due to the invisible energy field.
‘Funny.’
Is it because his eyesight hasn’t recovered yet? If he were looking at me directly, he would never have smiled like that.
Because the five human faces on my skull were glaring at him with tears of blood streaming down their faces.
「—–!」「—–!」「—–!」「—–!」「—–!」
“?!”
The human-faced beasts under my control sing in unison. The demonic melody tears apart their semicircular canals, paralyzing their movements.
While the bastard’s body remained stiff, the bone blade attached to my jaw moved quickly.
The paralysis of the human face has different effects depending on how strong the opponent is. Jason’s paralysis was lifted in an instant.
It wasn’t a metaphor, but the blade was really coming right at his nose, but he barely managed to avoid it by twisting his neck. Instead of cutting his neck, my blade went deep into his collarbone.
“Kwaaaaak!”
Even if it’s not as big as the neck, the collarbone is also one of the vital points. If that part is shattered, it will hurt a lot.
I twisted the bone blade to finish, but I felt nothing at the tip.
The guy who couldn’t stand the pain used the adjuster to escape.
‘This is the fourth time.’
The Coordinator’s remaining turn was now one. Jason’s body, which reappeared several dozen meters away, was clean.
There was no wound on that side, and this side was bleeding profusely from its neck, but the momentum was completely opposite.
He was glaring at me, but the emotion in his eyes wasn’t anger.
awe.
He is afraid of me.
“… Tsk.”
Instead of attacking me, the creature wrapped itself in a golden form. Its form was similar to the beam of light it used to move and attack, but there was one difference.
‘Blue light?’
As he was about to fly into the sky in a mixture of gold and blue, a drill made of rock and ice suddenly flew in from somewhere and hit him.
“I can’t go!”
“This dog’s daemon is…”
It was No. 26, with about a third of its body torn off. It had attacked Jason with the Demon Crush technique it had used to break the Ice Horror’s shell.
This attack must have done quite a bit of damage, as the golden light surrounding Jason shimmered. The beam of light transformed back into a humanoid form, transforming both arms into shields.
Meanwhile, the blue particles on the bastard’s body were gradually expanding their area. What had started at his feet and fingertips earlier was now covering his arms and legs.
‘I’m sure I’ve seen that look somewhere.’
Whatever it was, it was clear that the guy was preparing a desperate measure. That was understandable, since he wasn’t using any reflection or other techniques at all and was focusing on defense in his golden form.
‘There’s nothing that can break through that guy’s defenses…’
I ran to PS-111, who was lying on the floor with his whole body smashed up.
“are you okay?”
“The damage is very serious. The damage rate is 92%.”
As he said, the guy’s body was nothing more than a rag. His legs were all cut off, and his face was skinned so much that you could see his muscles.
“… I’m sorry, but I have a favor to ask.”
“There is no need to apologize. Instead, I would like to ask you to help me protect the main controller.”
I nodded and looked at the guy’s tail.
“Can you shoot?”
“It is possible if there is energy supply.”
At those words, I immediately reached out and put my arm to the guy’s mouth. The guy read my intentions and bit my arm without hesitation.
For a moment, I felt all the strength drain from my body. As my physical condition worsened, blood began to pour out again from the wound on my neck.
If it were a game, I would probably only have about 5% of my health left right now.
Still, I was not shaken.
‘If you make a mistake here, you all die.’
No, it would be better if I died. If I were to be captured by Jason, I don’t know what would happen to me.
“You have secured enough energy to use Demolisher against hostile creatures.”
It’s not just me who thinks this way. Everyone here is working towards one goal.
It’s about surviving together.
PS-111, who had replenished its energy reserves, barely aimed its tail at Jason. Looking at his body defending itself with a shield, it was already bathed in blue light up to his upper body.
I ran towards him, leaving PS-111 behind.
The distance between us was less than 50m. While the four legs were kicking the snow, my auxiliary organs detected another movement.
Something was falling rapidly from the high sky. The identity of the lightning-like being that was striking straight down was none other than Adhai. The creature paid no attention to the pain of its broken wings.
We were all giving our all to win this fight.
Jason sensed Adhai flying towards him and tried to adjust the angle of his shield.
That’s when his attention was focused elsewhere.
A Demolisher disintegration energy bullet was fired from PS-111’s tail. The blue energy ball flew without any hindrance and destroyed the golden shield.
Jason’s face is visible, with blue light rising up to his shoulders.
He seemed quite surprised by the attack, but he didn’t seem too shaken. Rather, there was a faint smile on his face.
Looking at that, I could tell what he was thinking. He probably thought that no matter what we did, it was already over.
‘Nothing to say.’
It ain’t over until I say it’s over.
Before the broken shield could be restored, Adhai collided with the golden figure’s shield. Jason and the golden figure shook violently, perhaps due to the acceleration.
“You” “What you did” “Give back”
Adhai’s wings and forelegs were completely broken by the impact, but surprisingly, this was not the end of his attacks.
The heavenly mother was riding on the boy’s back.
She, with her beak broken, swung the golden spear of the priest with both hands with great force. Jason opened his eyes wide as he saw the spear coming through the gap.
He quickly turned his head away, with only his neck left. The spear shattered one of the deer antlers sprouting from his temple and wounded his forehead and ear.
Relief appears in his eyes.
But that was his last mistake.
26, PS-111, Adhai, he was so focused on the Heavenly Mother that he forgot his most important enemy.
My arm moves as I reach his reach.
The bone scythe attached to the end of the arm digs into the small gap left between the regenerating gold particles. The sharpest weapon in Aimov’s body cuts down the target with precision.
The moment when you feel the sensation of the tip of the bone sickle cutting the desired result.
The golden figure in front of me disappeared along with Jason’s body. Immediately after it disappeared, the auxiliary organ picked up a small sound.
That was the sound I made when something fell on my snow.
To be more specific, it was similar to the sound made when something the size of a person’s head fell.
I picked it up off the floor.
‘It’s a success.’
A warm liquid soaking my hands, and a familiar, fragrant smell coming from it.
It was Jason’s head.
He had a faint smile on his face, as if he had not expected this kind of ending.
He died because he let his guard down from beginning to end.
‘How stupid.’
I put the spoils left by my foolish enemy into my mouth without hesitation.
