Became an Evolving Space Monster - Chapter 363

“Nurse. What about Dad?”
“He said he can’t come today. So let’s play with my sister.”
“today?”
“■■, as you know, is a very busy person.”
“huh.”
“mom?”
“I bought our little one’s favorite pizza. Shall we eat it together?”
“huh.”
“Oh, don’t worry about the camera. It’s nothing special. Oh my, this looks delicious. Don’t you think?”
“huh.”
“When on earth was that broadcast filmed?”
“What’s it to you?”
“Are you crazy? What the hell are you doing with a child?”
“What about you? You were only interested at first and didn’t even come looking for me properly.”
“Ahem, I’m busy too. I can’t go in and out of the hospital every day.”
“Well, I guess that’s true with the meager amount of money you earn.”
“Huh. That doesn’t sound like something a woman who couldn’t even make a pittance and sold her child should say.”
“What? Who would say something like that about selling a child! With what kind of mindset did I have…?”
If I hadn’t been sick, this wouldn’t have happened.
If I hadn’t been in the car with my dad that day, this wouldn’t have happened.
I….
–
The auxiliary organ under the chin caught something foreign. The body that had been in a shallow sleep slowly woke up. As the senses returned to the body, the hot heat of the lava was felt again.
Could it be because I was submerged in boiling magma for a long time? I had a dream while I was sleeping for a short while.
‘It’s a boring memory.’
I had an accident when I was young and was hospitalized for a long time. More than half of my body was burned and I had to receive various treatments.
‘I never thought I’d fall asleep in a lake of lava.’
It got a little better after I became an adult, but before that, I had a hard time because of the trauma from the accident. It was so bad that I would freeze just watching a scene where someone lights a fire with a lighter while watching a movie.
‘If it’s okay to become an Aimorph, then it’s definitely an advantage.’
Because my strong body even heals my mental pain.
As I was thinking that, a wave came flying out of my mouth.
“Big baby, are you okay?”
[Zuzu (huh?)]
“Are you feeling unwell?”
It was a wave sent by number 26, inside the mouth of the central head. I guess it felt my emotions while I was dreaming.
[Zzuzuzu zuzuzuzuzu (It’s okay now)]
“really?”
“Heat” “Mood” “Unpleasant”
[Zuzuzuzu zu zu zu zu zu (Don’t worry, I’ll be out soon)]
After reassuring the worried children, I opened my eyes.
The atmosphere that had been peaceful until I jumped into the lake was now a complete mess.
The Vulcaroxes were lying around, torn to pieces, and the Stoners were nowhere to be seen, having all fled. The Lavaraptors, which had been diving with only their tails sticking out at the edge of the lake, were in the same situation as the Vulcaroxes.
And the person responsible for turning the lake into a scene of massacre is there.
The monster was about 11m tall, and its body was covered in red scales. There was a row of sharp plates on its back, and two long arms were added to its shoulder blades. Although it had four arms, its body shape was similar to that of a human or an ape, walking on two legs with its back straight.
That monster, which looks like a giant burning in flames, is a ferocious predator, the Pyromancer.
The one with its back to the center of the lake was holding the lava raptor with its four arms.
“Key, key!”
The lava raptor swung its tail in protest, but it did not back down an inch.
Instead of retreating, its four arms swelled up. Then, blood spurted out of the Lavaraptor’s body and it split in half.
“Ts …
The pyromancer let out a strange howl as he killed a monster that was half his size. Intoxicated with victory, he began to devour the spoils.
‘It’s an opportunity.’
I slowly approached the guy, traversing the lava lake.
Like most creatures that live on volcanic planets, the Pyromancer has extremely hard scales. It cannot be wounded by normal attacks.
‘Plus, he has an annoying ability.’
As the name Pyromancer suggests, Pyromancers have two special abilities reminiscent of fire.
One of them is a very powerful recovery ability.
Its resilience is such that it can instantly heal even fatal wounds.
‘Even if only the head remains, it can be regenerated within a few minutes.’
In return, a huge amount of energy is consumed, but looking at it another way, it means that as long as you have energy, you don’t have to worry about death. That’s why it knows this, so it continues to eat food to store energy in its body. It’s like putting firewood in to keep a fire going.
Since it is a creature that will constantly revive if you don’t kill it in one go, the strategy for attacking it is quite standardized.
Either use extremely powerful firepower to kill the guy in one blow, or… .
‘Or block the bastard’s recovery.’
I submerged my entire body in magma and pulled out the erosion tentacles from my back. The long, thick tentacles hidden inside the thick carapace came out and approached the thing.
The man was so absorbed in his eating that he didn’t notice what was behind him.
Just as the sharp appendage on the tip of the tentacle was about to grab the back of the creature’s head, the creature stopped moving.
“Tsk, tsk tsk?”
‘I got caught!’
The one that had been sniffing jumped forward as if it was falling over. Almost at the same time, the appendage of the erosion tentacle lightly brushed the back of the thing’s neck. Some of its scales were torn off and its blood sprayed into the air.
“Tsaaaah!”
The face of the creature facing you from the front resembles that of a lion, covered with scales instead of fur. The organs responsible for hearing have degenerated and disappeared, and instead, it senses objects with its highly developed eyes, nose, and tongue.
‘A pocket lion with no ears and a body covered with scales.’
A hideous looking monster roars at me, baring its sharp fangs.
[Zuzu zuzu (everyone come out)]
As the three mouths opened, the ones inside rushed out. As if they had planned it out in advance, No. 26’s psychic power caught the guy first. Then, Adhai, who was wearing ‘Red Armor’, struck the frozen Pyromancer.
“Tsaaaah!”
The guy who was hit by Adhai’s charge and had his upper and lower bodies separated fell to the ground, screaming.
Finally, Isabelle moved like a snake, wrapping herself around the torn torso of her enemy. Dozens of hands held his arms tightly so that he could not fight back. Then, she tried to stab the creature’s head with her Gallagon’s clawed tail.
“Tsk tsk tsk.”
But the Pyromancer’s regeneration was much faster than the creature’s movements. The plates on its back turned white. Knowing what this signal was, Isabel quickly untied herself.
‘You can’t leave it like that.’
When I saw the end of the guy’s arm attached to his shoulder blade pointing towards Isabel, I struck him in the center with my head.
The bastard’s body floats into the air. Along with it, the white light that colored the bone plate is seen moving to the two arms attached to the shoulder blades.
Just before the bastard was sent flying by the impact of colliding with me, he swung his white arm wildly.
The distance was so close that I couldn’t avoid it. The right horn that the bastard’s fingertips touched was half cut off.
“Pain relief activated!”
“Big man!”
The one who broke my horn flew backwards and crashed into the ash-covered ground.
Just looking at it, it seems like he suffered more damage, but that’s not the case. This one’s horn was injured, but the other one’s not injured at all.
I swung my erosion tentacle towards where the thing was stuck. The appendage on the tip of the tentacle sank into the thing’s shoulder.
“Tsk tsk tsk.”
The creature let out a cry of annoyance and swatted the tentacle away with its white arm.
“Pain relief activated!”
Another pain relief message. The tip of the tentacle with its appendage almost got completely cut off by the current blow. I quickly pulled the tentacle back.
‘It’s annoying.’
If the wondrous regenerative power symbolizes the ever-burning fire, then those white arms symbolize the heat of the fire.
The Pyromancer can convert stored energy into heat using the plates on his back. When the plates turn white, it means that he is ready to transfer stored heat to his arms on his shoulder blades.
And the arm that is filled with heat becomes a famous sword that can cut through anything. Its power is enough to easily destroy the hardest parts of my body, the skull and chest shells.
A predator with ideal means of attack and defense. That is the characteristic of a Pyromancer.
‘It ended without being cut thanks to the hellish vision.’
Normally, both the horn and the erosion tentacles should have been lost. They were barely saved thanks to the ‘Hell’s Vision’ that gave them a heat dissipation effect.
“Big man” “Are you okay?”
“Bad person! Bad person!”
“That shitty trait is still there.”
The children also stood back and worried about me. They knew that the enemy had a scary attack method, so they did not rush in rashly.
“Tsk tsk tsk.”
The guy was sticking his tongue out. It looked like he was mocking me.
This one has damage to one of its tentacles and one of its horns, but this thing looks fine without any wounds. If I were in that situation, I would naturally react in the same way.
‘but….’
This guy is not stupid either.
My erosion tentacles have a secret that Isabelle and the Pyromancer don’t know about. One of the only traits I possess is one that interacts with the appendages at the end of my tentacles.
It takes some time for the trait effect to take effect.
‘It’ll probably take 3 minutes, maybe 5 at most.’
Considering its size, it could be shorter than that. If it were to be attacked by the erosion tentacles here, it would be even shorter.
I retrieved the badly injured tentacle and pulled the other tentacle out. The creatures also began to move in time with my movements.
As before, this time, No. 26 was the first to attack. As the invisible psychic powers began to stir, the Pyromancer reacted immediately. Even though he couldn’t see it with his eyes, he sensed something approaching with his wild intuition.
The bastard moved nimbly and escaped the confinement that No. 26 had spread. However, the bastard did not panic and continued his next attack.
A purple shield connected to the tentacles of the thing hiding under the black ash burst out from under its feet. The lower part of its calf that touched the shield was instantly destroyed.
While the guy was floating in the air for a moment after losing his legs, Isabel flew towards him. Just like before, Isabel wrapped around the guy. The only difference was that the guy’s arms were holding onto the Pyromancer’s plate.
As the metallic sound came from Isabel’s arm, the plate cracked and a strong stream of steam erupted. The white color immediately drained from the thing’s arm as the organ that converted energy into heat was damaged.
And finally, Adhai flew towards the guy while wearing red armor. The target of the guy’s front legs, dyed red like blood, was the enemy’s head.
The man, who sensed that he could not escape because he was tied up by Isabel, took a drastic measure: ripping off his head and part of his upper body.
“What is it?”
“Tsaaaak!”
The creature tore off a part of his upper body and threw it at Adhai. In the short time it flew, the creature regenerated a part of his body and climbed on top of him.
“You” “Disgusting!”
As Adhai twisted his body to throw the bastard off, the bastard’s half-formed arm turned white.
At that moment, the bastard’s body was pushed by something invisible and rolled on the ground.
“Don’t bully little kids!”
“Tsk!”
The Pyromancer, who had briefly expressed his anger, immediately turned around and started running in the opposite direction. He was not running away, but trying to replenish his energy by eating other food.
‘Where.’
I pushed hard with both legs and kicked the ground. My body rose high even without spreading my wings.
“Tsaaaak!”
The running man is startled by the shadow that appears over his head. He tries to crush the man, but the man rolls to the side and dodges.
As soon as I landed, I immediately swung my tail at the creature. The creature, who was frantically stuffing a nearby corpse into its mouth, saw the two tails approaching him and immediately responded.
A white arm collides with my clawed tail. It had always sliced through my carapace like a sledgehammer, but not this time.
Considering my size, the size of the forceps is enormous. No matter how big the bastard’s arm is, it’s impossible to cut it off in one go.
While the pincers were squeezing the creature at their own expense, the erosion tentacles latched onto it, their sharp appendages piercing into its shoulder just as the other tentacles had done earlier.
