Became an Evolving Space Monster - Chapter 368
Only Noblemtl
A creature with agate-colored wings was flying towards them, carrying a large spider-like entity.
I flew towards my enemies in the burning battlefield beneath the volcano.
The magmasaur, lying face down with its neck raised, looked at me with its six eyes. Its tail, which had been immersed in the blazing fire, rose up. And it swung its tail at me.
It’s a tail that swings lightly as if it’s annoying, but I can’t let my guard down. That tail alone is over 60m long. It’s a light restraint from his perspective, but from my perspective, it’s not at all.
A heavy tail, like a pillar supporting a building, flies toward me.
It was an attack that I should have avoided, but I didn’t.
“Pain relief activated!”
The heat of the melted rock, and the pain felt all over my body. Before I knew it, I was lying on the floor of the cave.
‘I knew it, but you’re still strong.’
Magmasaur is different from the top tier Apex bosses I’ve played against so far.
Gallagons that hunt in packs based on their high intelligence, Sea Demons with various psychic power abilities, Vortex Ones that trample their opponents with their powerful specs and skills, and many other Apex.
Unlike them, Magmasaurs do not form groups or use psychic powers. They only have one attack technique that shows overwhelming destructive power.
However, the reason he is classified as one of the top Apex players is because of his overwhelming physical specs. The attacks coming from his 300m tall body are powerful enough to shatter mountains and split the earth.
Not only that, but its hide is extremely hard and difficult to damage. This is because the various metals mixed in the rock have been constantly melting and hardening, resulting in an extremely dense bond between the materials.
In other words, it is safe to say that the creature is a living, moving lump of ultra-high-strength alloy.
If the attack power and defense power are high, the speed should be low, but as you can see now, the attack is quite fast. It is hard to imagine that it is a tail swung by a monster with a size of 300m.
The only drawbacks to the Magmasaur are that it is extremely heavy, which slows its movement speed, and that it cannot fly.
‘It’s a strong enemy, but…’
I’ve caught him many times in games. I’ve caught enemies stronger than me countless times.
I forced myself up from the floor.
The membrane of the right wing was severely torn by the blow just now. The wing arm itself was also injured to the point where the bone was exposed through the shell. In addition, the biopipe and shell were also considerably damaged.
The pain was so severe that I had a headache, but I could bear it. Because this injury was also intentional.
“Kurur”
The guy who saw me not dead tilted his head. It was because it was the first time he had seen a creature that had been hit by its tail and came back to life. I roared loudly at the guy.
“■■■■■■■!”
“Kururururung”
As the guy and I howled at the same time, the cave shook as if an earthquake had occurred. The magma on the floor responded by spewing upward.
The volcano demon must have judged me to be a tough opponent, so it prepared to get up. In the meantime, I used my hind legs to kick the ground.
My body leaps forward like a missile that has just been launched. With each step, the cavity vibrates.
The tail flew towards me again as I charged through the fountain of gushing magma. I charged forward with the momentum I had been running with.
The tail passed over the ends of the biological pipes on the carapace, but the main body was not hit. I crouched on the magma, crawling with my wing arms and fighting arms.
After becoming an adult, he crawled on the ground outside of a spaceship for the first time in a long time. He prepared his ‘transformable bioweapon’ while running on magma using his four arms and two legs.
In the meantime, the bastard’s tail curled around and came back to me, but the distance had already been shortened sufficiently. I braced my arms and legs and kicked the floor that had been half-liquefied by the heat.
The bastard’s long neck bends and tries to wrap itself around me as I float in the air. Of course, the bastard’s neck is also very strong. If it catches me, even I will be crushed to pieces.
One, I didn’t dodge, but pulled out all the tentacles hidden on my back. Six tentacles were stuck in the neck of the flying thing. The pointed appendages at the end of the tentacles bent like hooks and grabbed the rough leather surface.
If it were another creature, I would have injected the ‘Medusa Organ’ here, but unfortunately this trait does not work on him. It is now used for a different purpose.
I pulled myself forward with strength in my tentacles. The head on the end of the neck of the flying thing collided violently with mine.
“Kurur?”
“Grrrrr”
The shock was greater than expected, and the bastard opened his eyes wide. Six eyes were fixed on my transformed head.
The central head is protected by the ice horror’s skull shell, which is something that no one living in the Flame Kingdom has ever seen before.
While the creature flinched for a moment, the heads on either side moved and bit the enemy’s neck. Then, each of them spat out acidic breath and putrid mold spores.
“Kurururururung!”
Magmasaur whines in annoyance. The neck I am held by shakes violently as it tries to shake me off. My body, which is hanging on to it, changes according to my will. My fighting arm twists and a bone scythe protrudes from the inside of my palm.
I struck the giant beast’s neck and torso together with my combat arm, which had transformed into the weapon of the ‘Hellside Hornet’.
“Kururur!”
“Grrrrr!”
The blade didn’t even penetrate halfway because the outer shell was so hard. But that was okay. I didn’t think I could inflict a fatal wound on the creature with this anyway.
‘It’s enough to drop the anchor.’
The guy is trying to get up, perhaps because he’s starting to get feverish from being continuously attacked.
One guy doesn’t know yet. The real airstrike hasn’t even started yet.
The combat arm that had transformed into a scythe held the thing’s body, the two heads, and the erosion tentacles around its neck, so the distance between me and the thing was very close.
My monster’s tentacles prepare to activate their powerful weapons. The energy spread throughout its body is converted into psychic power and gathered in its head.
“Kurururung!”
With a short, loud roar, the thing’s forelegs burst out from the magma and fire on the ground. The large, thick legs, like pillars supporting a building, strike the neck of my right head.
“Pain relief activated!”
‘Ugh!’
The right side of his neck was easily torn open by the bastard’s kick. It was a serious injury, barely avoiding amputation.
The one that disabled my right head tried to kick my body. I blocked the attack using my forked tail. The tail wrapped around my thick leg, and I bit my ankle with the pincers on my right tail.
The thing stopped attacking because my tail was annoying. It raised its front leg high to crush my tail. The moment it hit the ground, my tail would be completely crushed.
I kicked the ground with both legs and pushed the guy hard. The guy, whose posture was unstable because one leg was floating, stumbled greatly under my weight and strength. The magma in the cavity stirred, and the guy’s entire body, which had been locked, was exposed to the outside.
The one that was being pushed back with one of its front legs lifted up began to brace itself by putting strength into its hind legs.
I wish I could push myself to the wall, but right now I’m just gathering energy for my breath. This is my limit.
The bastard’s long tail rips through the wall and floor behind him as he rushes toward me. The distance is so close that it is impossible to dodge. The force that had just thrown me to the ground hit me again.
Is it because I suffered in the fire? Memories from the past come flooding back. The car that crushed me, the strong smell of oil coming from all around, the intense pain.
The fear and pain I thought I had forgotten are creeping up on me, trying to eat me up. If it were real, I would have frozen in place.
But I am moving. This pain, this situation, is all my intention.
The organ inside my body, Tyrantroid, sensed serious injury and began to activate.
A substance that strengthened my body was secreted and spread evenly throughout my body. As the Tyrantroid took effect, my body grew rapidly.
“Kur?”
The guy who saw my body growing in real time was shocked.
‘It’s too early to be surprised.’
Tyrantroid makes my body bigger and increases my energy output depending on the extent of my injuries.
‘So if I use psychic breath in this state, it will be more powerful.’
During the melee with the thing, all of the energy was gathered. The tentacles attached to the left and center heads glowed a bright purple. The monster’s tentacles, flowing out like hair from under the back of the skull, moved forward.
There was no reason to hold on to him any longer, so he released his erosion tentacles and fighting arms. At the same time, he powerfully unleashed the massive amount of energy he had accumulated so far.
The entire space was instantly dyed purple. Two psychic rays struck the enemy with brilliant light.
The magmasaur was hit by my breath from a distance and was pushed back sharply. No matter how hard its outer shell was, it could not ignore my breath fired from close range.
The guy who had been retreating in a daze due to the breath collided with the wall. The wall melted away due to the guy’s hot outer skin. The guy was pushed inward, breaking the wall surrounding the cavity due to the pouring psychic breath.
‘Okay. It’s going well.’
To be honest, I don’t think this alone will be enough to defeat him.
It will take damage from the Tyrantroid-enhanced breath, but it won’t be fatal. Even then, the molten rock and magma will cover the damage and form a new outer shell, so it’s hard to say it’s a serious injury.
Even knowing that, there was a reason why he lured the guy near the common wall and shot him with psychic breath.
‘I have to get him out of here.’
This is his home ground. It’s hard to get him out by normal means.
So we have to make the enemy come out on his own.
‘For example, if this place, the deep part of the volcano, were to collapse.’
This space was currently in an unstable state due to the great shock caused by the fight between me and that bastard. Fragments of the collapsed ceiling rained down from above, and magma with tremendous power gushed out from below.
The pressure coming from all sides only makes my strength stronger. Like metal that has gone through a forging process, the strength of my breath grows stronger.
‘Just a little more…!’
Just when I thought there wasn’t much time left before this place collapsed, a light flashed from the hole the thing was stuck in. Black lightning split into tens of thousands of branches and swept through the entire cavern.
It was a shock equivalent to being struck by the tail of the thing. The heads on both sides were burned by lightning, and the central head was also badly damaged by the monster’s tentacles. The breath stopped right away, and the body fell to the ground out of control.
Kururururururung
Then the sound of the thunder he fired was transmitted to my auxiliary organs.
The name of that attack just now was ‘Ion Lightning’.
This is the only ranged attack skill that Magmasaur possesses. The name ‘King of Fire and Thunder’ is not an empty boast.
“Kurururur”
I can hear the creature’s roar above my head, which is stuck in the magma. It sounds like it is declaring victory, that it has won.
‘I’m sorry, but it’s not over yet.’
The black lightning he just fired drove a wedge right into the volcano that was about to explode. The magma beneath the ground where he and I were standing was stimulated and began to erupt.
I was swept away by a wave of magma and crashed into a rock mass that was either a wall or a ceiling. In fact, it is meaningless to distinguish between them now. The cavity where the magmasaur resided was already finished.
My body, thrown out by the explosion, continued to push through the ground. Along with it, the flame of my life was quickly extinguished.
“Pain relief activated!”
‘Don’t lose your mind!’
If I faint here, everything will be in vain. I tried to keep my wits about me as I watched the pain relief messages popping up like crazy.
‘For now, I’m out of the blast radius.’
I felt through the auxiliary organs that I had been pushed to a place close to the current surface. I dug up the dirt with my head in the center, the only intact body part, and went up.
The first thing I saw when I arrived on the ground was a cloud of enormous flames. A huge explosion that easily surpassed the antimatter bomb. The supervolcano where the magmasaur was staying had completely exploded.
And in the middle of hell, built of fire and ashes, was the thing.
A 300m long sauropod with a red-hot coat is running towards us.
He can’t help but be furious, his nest and food storehouse blown away. He won’t stop until he kills me.
‘That applies to me too.’
The reason I brought him up to the ground is not simply to weaken him.
What I had. In order to make the most of it, I needed to lure the enemy into a battlefield that was advantageous to me.
“Big baby!”
I have friends here who can help me.
‘And the characteristics too.’
After being attacked repeatedly by enemies and being caught in an explosion, my body reached its limit. Just enough to activate the ‘Revenant Organ’.
“Kur?”
The one running towards me stops. The six eyes on its long snout are full of alertness.
Is it because he is wary of the fact that I am different from what he saw in the basement? Or is it because I, who looked like I would die at any moment, am standing there without a single scratch?
Maybe it’s ‘both’.
“Grrrrrrr”
“Grrrrr!”
I became the ‘Symbol of the Hunt’ and used my mouth to tear the biological membrane that had formed as both heads regenerated. The two heads that had been turned to charcoal and then reborn began to growl powerfully as soon as the membrane was torn.
This concludes the preparations for hunting.
Defeat the Magmasaur in this location.

‘Fuck!’
