Became an Evolving Space Monster - Chapter 230
Only Noblemtl
Ep. 229
Six Gallagons flying under the light.
Three Gallagons with green scales, the white Gallagon Nel Germa, Ham Ort with his wings almost fully restored, and Adhai with red makeup.
Above the gallagons, familiar figures were seen.
Above Ham Ort was the Sky Mother, transformed into a Wendigo, and above Nel Germa was the mutant Screamer PS-111.
In front of them, I see a small pink balloon above Adhai. It is Sea Demon 26, nicknamed the Devil of the Deep.
Everyone gathered here to help me as I left alone.
“Odd Grad!” “I command!” “Attack!” “Attack!”
The black dragon kept giving orders, but no one followed him. Among the wavering men, a skinny white gallagoon stepped forward.
“Great Odd Grad” “Black” “Red” “Color of the Stars” “Red” “Strength”
“No!” “Enemy!” “Just a traitor!” “That’s a lie!”
“Same race” “Lies” “Impossible” “Color” “Lies” “Impossible”
In the setting, Red Gallagon is a mythical being that rules over all Gallagons. He is one of the few creatures that can instill instinctive fear in Gallagons, who are called cosmic dragons.
‘Of course, Adhai hasn’t fully grown yet.’
The guy’s dragon power is extremely weak compared to the Red Gallagons I’ve seen. His strength is even lower than Odd Grad.
Yet there is only one reason why the Gallagon herd is agitated.
Because of the evil deeds of the black tyrant, Odd Grad.
He abused and starved his own kind, ignoring the protests of the Gallagons, who had a strong sense of kinship, and killed the weak young.
If he had acted like a ‘normal Gallagon’, the pack would have obeyed his orders, since he was their leader who had protected them all this time.
But he was never a good king for Gallagon.
“Odd Grad” “Emotion” “Understanding” “Difficulty” “Explanation” “Request”
“!”
Besides, the means to control his own kind have now disappeared from his grasp.
The bastard’s treasure, the ring that hid his emotions, fell off along with his forelegs when I attacked him with my bone sickle arm.
And that ring is now mine. I hold it tightly in my small hand to my heart.
“You bastard!”
Odd Grad growls at the sight.
He had been exploiting Gallagon’s inability to lie until now, but now he could not. It was not hard to imagine how the other Gallagons would view him once they found out his true feelings.
‘I probably look like a total lunatic.’
Otherwise, he would be seen as an evil tyrant who enslaved and massacred his own people.
The skinny white galleon that rebelled against Odd Grad continued to shoot the thought waves.
“Fellow” “Stronger fellow” “Follow” “New leader” “Decision” “Necessary”
The one who clearly expressed his refusal to fight retreated. The other Gallagons also followed him and retreated.
The only enemies left are Odd Grad’s companions.
Could it be a coincidence? Last time, one of my attacks killed me, so I only had six companions left.
As it happens, there are six beings here who can fly.
‘If you add up the number of people on the back, there are more of us.’
No further thought or conversation is necessary.
From now on, power determines everything.
I kicked the ground and flew up.
The wound on his neck hasn’t completely healed, but the bleeding has stopped thanks to the shell he developed while transforming into the ‘Symbol of the Hunt’. He needs nutrients to fully recover.
The genetic essence of Black Gallagon would suffice.
I approached Odgrad, waving my wings that had red veins shining on them.
Due to the effect of the symbol, my wings have become much larger and stronger than before. Odd Grad is surprised to see me flying faster than expected.
“You insignificant seed!”
I clung to the thing and swung my tail wildly, accelerating. The pincers at the end of the tail flew at the thing with a fierce sound like a giant hammer.
Even without the power of foresight, Odd Grad decided to dodge, judging that he could not stop it. One of the black wings slightly bent and the creature’s body tilted forward. The pincers on its tail passed over the horn on its head, scraping it.
The guy who narrowly avoided my attack fired his psychic breath right there. Unlike me who had to charge, it was definitely fast.
But the bastard’s breath couldn’t do much damage to me anymore.
A body enhanced with symbols, and with the effect of mimic scales. My body is currently almost completely immune to psychic powers.
Of course, there was nothing I could do about the physical force of the bastard’s breath. The bastard pushed my body backwards and quickly fell back.
While I and Odgrad fought, the battle between his companions and my colleagues also began.
Nel Germa, who showed above-average combat prowess, flew into the midst of Odd Grad’s companions. Above him, PS-111 repeatedly fired blue energy bullets from the Demolisher from its mouth.
One of my companions was hit by a bullet that disintegrated the material at the tip of his wing, and he quickly warned his fellows. The gathered enemies quickly dispersed as if they were going to fight me.
“The enemies have dispersed as planned. Please prepare yourselves.”
“acquaintance”
One of the scattered enemies flew towards the Green Gallagons of the Ham Ort group. It was likely that they would tear apart the weaker enemies first and quickly join their kin.
But my colleagues could not have been unaware of such an obvious attack. The pure white queen, whose injuries had not yet fully recovered, blocked the path of her white companion.
The Heavenly Mother riding on the guy’s back used the ‘Ice Demon’ that she had prepared in advance. The White Gallagon, which had been flying fine, was infected with the Wendigo’s madness and began to target her.
The mad Gallagon shot his breath at her, but she dodged the purple heat ray with ease. She jumped into the air while holding onto the horns of Ham Ort’s head.
The heat ray missed and she fell to the ground according to the laws of nature, but Ham Ort skillfully turned his head to catch her.
“Are you okay?”
“…If I say it’s okay, will you stop?”
“Small Being” “That It Can’t Be” “I Know”
“Tch, let’s clean this up quickly!”
The combination of the Ice Beast and the Pure White Queen fell behind, dragging their crazy companion along. Meanwhile, the other Green Gallagons moved to support Nel Germa and PS-111.
“If you follow my instructions, your life will be in no danger.”
“Adult” “Trust” “Me” “Trust”
“Me” “Pain” “Dislike”
“You can trust me, there’s a 63% chance it’ll end up with a cut off tail or a hole in your wing.”
“Suddenly” “Anxiety”
“Nel Germa” “Pointing” “Fact” “All” “Saying” “Unnecessary”
A total of two companions, each a combination of green and white galleons and mechanical creatures.
There are still three enemy companions left.
But their situation was never good, because they had to deal with my friends, No. 26 and Adhai, who had been breathing together for a long time.
Perhaps because of their frequent experience fighting together since the space city, the two were toying with the three White Gallagon companions.
Adhai, whose outstanding flying skills were already a strength, was flying across the battlefield at a terrifying speed. No Gallagon in the place could keep up with this guy who was as fast as a bullet fired from a railgun.
The companions, who failed to chase the guy, tried to shoot Adhai down by firing psychic breaths. However, the guy was on board with our greatest psychic power expert, Number 26.
As he waved his tentacles as if directing over the red meteor, the direction of the heat rays would bend or the energy would simply dissipate.
When the companions’ attacks were nullified, Adhai also changed direction and charged back at them. The one with the red armor activated on its head struck one of the companions.
The combination of its near-sonic speed and its indestructible horns gave it incredible thrusting power. It pierced through its companion’s abdomen.
The White Gallagon, whose stomach was punctured by a bullet more than 4m long, died instantly. No. 26, who had been clinging to the creature’s back, suddenly jumped out.
“This is fun! Do it again!”
“I hate it” “It’s messy”
As expected.
We must have discussed how we would fight before coming here because our breathing was in perfect sync.
“You bastard!” “Where are you looking!”
While I was watching the guys fight for a moment, Odd Grad swooped in. He raised his head to stab me in the chest with his horns.
As expected of a smart guy, he saw that the person wasn’t dead even though his neck was half cut off, so he immediately aimed for another part.
If it were any other time, I would have said it wasn’t a bad decision, but not now.
There is no way for him to survive except to run away from this place.
‘I won’t leave you like that, though.’
I turned my body slightly to avoid the creature’s lunge. Its horn only managed to scratch the surface of my chest carapace.
The one whose attack failed quickly tried to pull his head away, but this time I was faster. My fighting arms caught the thing’s horns.
“!”
The predator leech’s hands activated and the creature’s energy was quickly absorbed through its horns.
Even a large creature like the White Gallagon would not last long in my hands and would become a mummy. In order to escape from me, the creature fired its psychic breath while still holding onto its horns.
The force of the impact pushed my body back sharply. I tried to hold on somehow by using my hands, but failed as my horn broke.
“I will kill you!” “I will kill you!” “I will definitely kill you!”
The sight of a male Gallagon losing all of its horns in an instant was truly pitiful. Seeing the horns in my hand crumble and turn to dust, the creature let out a blast of angry thoughts.
“Only you!” “Never!” “Never!” “I won’t forgive you!”
The man, completely out of his mind due to anger, spread his wings and flew up into the sky.
‘escape?’
The bastard’s presence quickly fades away.
I quickly checked the kids fighting. It didn’t look like they were going to lose, unless the Gallagons watching us from afar got involved.
Rather, the situation was more favorable for this side. I felt relieved and chased after Oddgrad.
I could feel the creature’s aura as it flew up, its black cloak with red patterns fluttering.
‘What are you doing?’
A massive amount of energy was emanating from his body, just like when he uses the psychic storm ‘Maelstrom’.
‘You know it’s no use to me… .’
The moment I thought that, images quickly flashed through my eyes.
Now that I have lost my sight, in the symbolic state of hunting, there is only one case where images are visible.
Predator sense, that is.
The characteristics that tell me the future by summing up environmental factors are warning me. Thanks to the representation effect, the image of the future that the predator sense tells me is much more detailed.
The massive energies gathered by Odd Grad are not intended to be shot into the sky to create a localized psychic storm.
The sole purpose of that black dragon is to destroy me.
The energies gathered according to his will gradually concentrated and soon changed into something similar to a familiar energy. Red diamond energy, dragon power.
‘how?’
He’s an aged Black Gallagon, not a Red Gallagon. He’s not a special individual like Adhai.
Besides, when I looked into it last time, it was definitely Black Gallagon. So, something new variable was added while fighting me, but I don’t know the cause.
‘You’re drinking my blood?’
My body contains a large amount of White Gallagon’s genetic essence. Perhaps he also took some of that essence by drinking my blood.
‘No. That’s not important right now.’
The dragon power he created was much more unstable than Adhai’s. Dragon power should have been a bright red diamond color like Adhai used, but Odd Grad’s power was closer to a reddish purple.
That means it’s mixed with psychic powers.
And then the foul compound rained down on me in the form of a huge beam.
“I was hit by Odd Grad’s attack.”
“I’m dead.”
Before my predatory senses die down, the last thing I see is an attack that I also know.
‘… Starflame.’
It is one of Red Gallagon’s main weapons, and is a technique similar to the bombardment of orbital weapons such as the Brain God.
‘But it’s very different.’
Since it was an attack based on dragon power, it should have been pure red, but when viewed through the predator’s senses, the star flame was closer to purple.
‘He’s on the edge.’
It’s unclear why Odd Grad is suddenly on the verge of growth, but his attacks are also incomplete.
The starflames fired by a true Red Gallagon are unstoppable, but not yet.
I stopped approaching the bastard and prepared my psychic breath.
‘We have to push with maximum firepower.’
All the energy absorbed from Odd Grad a little while ago must be poured into the symbol effect of the hunt.
For the first time since I fought the Imperial Carrier, my body reached its limit. All remaining energy was converted into psychic power, leaving only the bare minimum to protect my body.
Perhaps it was because it possessed more psychic power than was allowed. Its black scales and shell glowed a light purple. The tentacles of the monster, which contained the most energy, glowed a vivid purple beyond the heat ray.
“You insignificant being!” “Be judged!”
The moment I fully charged my psychic power, he attacked.
A purple sphere with a red sheen changes into a thin cylinder and falls over my head. My senses are extremely sensitive, so it feels slow, but in reality it is as fast as the speed of light.
Just before the deep purple heat ray touches my body.
My psychic power, which contained all my strength, was also fired. When the heat ray I shot collided with Starflame, a tremendous amount of recoil crushed my body.
“Pain relief activated!”
‘No! I can hold out!’
As expected, his attack is imperfect. If it were a normal Starflame, it would have disintegrated me without any resistance.
Could it be because of the representation effect? The thickness of my breath itself was not inferior to that of the Star Flame. In fact, the incomplete Star Flame he shot was on par with the psychic breath I was shooting.
“I” “A being blessed by the stars!” “Never” “I will not give up!”
He knew he couldn’t overpower me, so he kept powering up Starflame.
The output is almost equal. The competition will be decided by who has more energy.
And he had a slight edge over me, wearing the hunting emblem.
‘Ugh!’
The struggle between me and him began to tip towards his victory. The intense heat of the Starflame burned my skull. Despite the presence of the mimic scales, my skull was slowly melting away.
‘Just a little more…!’
This was their first time using Dragon Power, so their firepower was gradually decreasing. I gritted my teeth and concentrated despite the pain of my shell and scales melting away.
At that moment, I felt a strange sensation in the part where the scales had melted. It felt like small creatures like ants were crawling around, but strangely enough, it wasn’t unpleasant. That strange feeling continued outside my body. It was like hair blowing in the wind.
‘huh?’
And it wasn’t just a feeling.
Before I knew it, earthworm-like things with sentient beings were growing out of the melted flesh inside the shell.
‘What is this?’
It was strange. Even in the midst of the pain caused by the struggle with Starflame, I was concerned about the changes in my body.
The earthworms that I feel are not organs that have grown from my body. They are not even matter.
It was made of incomprehensible energy. It was a state where unknown energies were intertwined with psychic powers. It was as if someone had refined the chaos into a thin bundle of stems.
‘Refining the chaos… Really?’
As soon as I became aware of the changes in my body, the worms began to gather together. The worms were as thin as hairs and soon grew into tentacles as large as my erosion tentacles.
The bundle of tentacles that emerged from the wounded area shot out at incredible speeds like an arrow leaving a bowstring as soon as they merged. They stretched out endlessly like a beam fired from a ship’s main gun, and where they were headed was Odd Grad.
“?!”
As the tentacle attack flew towards me, the thing quickly ended its Starflame as if it had read the future. The energy that had been burning me disappeared immediately, and the psychic breath blew off one of its legs.
The creature quickly tried to dodge the approaching energy tentacles, despite his injuries. Most of them were successfully evaded, but one energy tentacle pierced the creature’s tail. Having achieved its purpose, the tentacles melted away into thin air.
“Kuaaaaah!”
For the first time, Odd Grad screamed. Even though he had only lost one tail, the pain was so great that he could not even properly emit thought waves.
‘Whatever it is, now is your chance.’
I flapped my still-healthy wings and flew towards the creature. The creature also slowly fell, as if it was no longer in the right state of mind to continue flying.
“You bastard!” “You bastard!” “You bastard!”
The pain, hatred, and various resentments that the black dragon spits out seep into me.
As the distance between us grew closer, one more emotion was added to the thought field.
It was probably the fear of death.
What is the black tyrant looking at now?
The sight of Aimov flying in with his mouth open? Or the future shown by his precognitive abilities that have helped him so far?
“Great Odd Grad” “Never” “Never Defeated…”
His ideology could not continue until the end.
The decapitated corpse of the black dragon disappeared beneath the clouds.
[Zuzu zuzuzu zuzuzu (Your future is over)]
With my back to the sun, I swallowed the bastard’s head in one bite.
