Episode 172

– Kiririk!

I heard the gears meshing.

The fortress walls soon split apart. Beyond them, numerous legionnaires were the first to appear.

It looked no different than usual.

[A, B… … .]

[From me, again, life… … .]

But their behavior was strange.

A voice full of noise. He walked out unsteadily, looking very precarious.

The legionnaire at the very front raised his head.

[I feel it.]

Kkwadduk!

The legionnaire’s body split open with a loud noise, and an endless stream of mucus flowed out from within.

Slime that covers the surface of the legionnaire in an instant.

The mucus began to mutate.

[Ugh, damn it… … .]

The mucus covering the surface is a hard shell, and the mucus sticking to the split areas of the body is flesh.

Another slime mutated into a twisted arm.

Like a mutant.

[Strength, and life… … .]

[I feel a strong… power… … .]

It was the same with other legionnaires.

The rising flesh mixed with countless machines, transforming the form of the legionnaire into a horrific form.

In the form of a mixture of mutants and legionnaires.

– Kiiing!

I felt a strong force coming from the legionnaires. A powerful force coming from somewhere unknown was giving them an incredible amount of power that was different from usual.

The flesh-and-blood machines moved faster than usual, and the weapons emitted an ominous glow.

“You look hideous.”

Baek Sa-jun frowned.

Even the visuals that dealt with all kinds of undead naturally elicited the impression that they were ‘gross’.

If you think about it, it was an obvious result.

‘He’s the one who creates mutants while claiming it’s evolution.’

These are the guys with appearances that are so frightening that even seeing a mutant might make you dream about them.

They put that out as a result of evolution, but there’s no way it would be normal if it were the evolution of a legionnaire.

It was an expected result.

“So, when do you plan on changing?”

Legion members evolving into monsters.

Beyond that, the commander of the legion appeared. Unlike the other legionnaires, he had not mutated.

The commander walked out at the front of the legionnaires, wearing a robe that covered his entire body.

[That’s new.]

The commander said so with his eyes closed.

[I never thought I’d feel my heart beat again.]

A sound came to his ear.

The sound of mechanical parts working, coming from a heart made of steel. And the sound of a mechanical heart pulsating as if it were alive.

After awakening the gift called , I felt something called ‘life’ that I had never felt before.

– Crunch!

The commander spread his arms without saying a word.

Then the bastard’s arm split open, and numerous fireballs appeared inside. However, the fireballs were not aimed at Baek Sa-jun.

-Whoooosh!

– Kwaaaaang!

The fire was directed towards where the mutants were.

The powerful firepower unleashed by the Legion Commander’s weapons annihilated the mutants under him.

The hunters who were watching were confused.

“What, what? Why are you… … .”

“What are you up to?”

The Legion and the mutants are allies.

He couldn’t help but feel embarrassed, as he was killing his own allies. Of course, as a legion commander, it wasn’t like he killed mutants without thinking.

The reason he killed them was simple.

– I have gained enough experience.

– Level has increased.

It was for testing.

After obtaining the Steel Heart, the status window that had been dyed black is now working properly.

Whether you can ‘grow’.

The results are now before our eyes.

[Ha, hehe… hahahahahaha!]

The commander burst into flames.

The effects of the Steel Heart are still in effect. In that state, you have been able to reach levels that you could not originally reach. It was all an effect of evolution.

[Evolution. Yes, this is evolution.]

A sense of satisfaction welled up.

I felt like the limit that was slowly approaching was moving away. Now I didn’t have to be obsessed with improving myself, because I could level up.

A new path appeared before my eyes.

[Baek Sa-jun. And.]

The commander’s body twitched.

A stem extending from the Seed of Evolution was stuck on his back. Feeling the power transmitted by the Seed, he accepted his evolved form.

The bastard’s body twitched.

[You guys will become my nourishment.]

The commander took off his robe.

Then the creature’s appearance was revealed. It was a horrible sight, its entire body covered in writhing mucus.

The mucus gathered behind the bastard.

and.

– Kurrururur… … .

The slime mutated into giant wings.

It was a horrifyingly shaped wing made of flesh. And after a while, the flesh on the wing began to twitch and numerous fireballs shot out from within.

An uncountable number of firearms.

“everyone.”

Ki-ki-kik, moving firearms.

Baek Sa-jun gave orders to those around him.

“Prepare the shield.”

– Woof woof… … .

Numerous firearms were fired.

There was no target. Numerous bullets, shells, and lasers were fired at hunters on all sides.

It was a barrage of indiscriminate slaughter.

“Hey, stop it!”

“Barrier… Ugh!”

The hunters hastily deployed their defensive shields.

It is a defensive shield strengthened with numerous buffs, so it can block even the strongest blast.

That’s what they thought.

– Kwaaaaang!

“Oh, you’re crazy!”

That was until the commander unleashed his first barrage, immediately followed by another.

The first saturation hit the shield. It shook violently and was half-broken.

Soon the second barrage of fire poured down.

– Kkuadduk! Pfft!

“Kuaaaah!”

“Keuh-euk!”

The shield was completely destroyed, and the hunters hiding underneath were mercilessly attacked.

Two massive volleys of shelling came in quick succession, virtually simultaneously.

There was no way to stop it, and no way to stop it.

“Ugh, ahhh… … .”

“Damn it. My arm… …!”

Thick smoke enveloped all directions.

Beyond that, all that could be seen were the fallen hunters. Most of them were still alive thanks to the buffs related to defense, but that was it.

He was unable to move due to a major injury.

That wasn’t all.

– Clang!

“Ahhhhhhh!”

“Tongue, Hyunmin!”

Numerous tentacles appeared from all directions.

They were sharp tentacles covered in machinery. They pierced the fallen hunters in an instant.

– Phew!

“Kahak… … !”

They were tentacles protruding from the commander’s arms.

The hunters who took relatively less damage cut down the other tentacles, but they were unable to do anything about the tentacles that pierced the fallen hunters.

The tentacles took the lives of the hunters.

[Ah, ahh… wonderful… … .]

It wasn’t like I killed many hunters.

The commander only killed the hunters who fell near him. But the results were great.

He felt himself growing as his level increased, and his energy returned.

– Kiiiiiing!

“Oh, you’re crazy!”

What’s surprising is that saturation isn’t over yet.

The commander instantly generated energy and recharged the firearms that shot out from his wings.

As if it had infinite power.

“This, this scale of attack… … .”

“You keep pouring it down without stopping?”

“Is that a horse… Keuk!”

The hunters were astonished.

It was a sight that could not help but be astonishing. The gunfire was so intense that it devastated the surrounding area. Didn’t they fire such a barrage twice in succession?

And you keep doing it again without stopping?

[I’m looking forward to it.]

The commander looked back at the hunters’ faces.

And Baek Sa-jun, who was among them. He was also caught in the gunfire and collapsed on the ground.

Their faces were filled with despair.

[How much can you grow if I kill you?]

The hunters in Daejeon are of a high level.

Besides, you’ll probably have grown more after experiencing this apocalypse. If you kill those guys, you’ll gain a lot of experience points and be able to grow a lot in one go.

The wings covered in flames emitted light.

[Now, die… … .]

– Kwaaaaah!

At that very moment.

A single flying object rushed towards the commander. In an instant, the flying object, which had come close to him, generated a strong blast of air and breathed black breath at him.

-Whaaaaah!

[Yeah, you were there.]

It was Le Wicken.

The corrosive breath he exhaled engulfed the wing of the legion commander. The flesh was instantly corroded, and the protruding weapons lost their support and fell off.

But that didn’t mean anything.

– Push profit!

[Entity name, Dragon. It has become such a pitiful sight. It was at last given a proper form.]

The commander had overwhelming regenerative powers.

As if the decay of his flesh was an illusion, he regenerated in an instant.

The same goes for the firearms that fell off.

A new flame burst out from beneath the flesh.

[Baek Sa-jun. You were stealing corpses like a grave robber, and all you made was this hatchling?]

“… … .”

The commander laughed at Baek Sa-jun.

All of the bastards’ firearms were aimed at Le Wicken. The firearms that had absorbed the energy emitted light.

[You destroy, and I will recreate.]

“You hatchling? Are you blind?”

Baek Sa-jun said, raising his body.

The commander ignored what he said and continued to fire a barrage of shots at Le Wicken.

To be exact, I was trying to pour it out.

– Kuuuuuu… … .

That was until a green and black light began to engulf LeWicken’s body.

The commander frowned. He felt something like a powerful life force coming from that light.

I don’t feel good.

– Kwaaaaaaaah!

The commander, who had paused for a moment, unleashed a powerful barrage on Leweken. Numerous bullets, shells, and lasers struck Leweken at the same time.

– Kwakwakwakwang!

A tremendous roar echoed through the sky.

It was a blast that instantly neutralized numerous hunters. There was no way a hatchling like this would be safe.

Everyone thought so.

[… … !]

Beyond the thick smoke.

Until a gigantic figure revealed itself.

[This is… … .]

An overwhelmingly large body made of bones.

A giant wing sprouts from the back. A suffocating black aura blooms from the entire body.

A powerful energy felt with him.

“Does that still look like a hatchling?”

That was the bone dragon.

A bone dragon, even larger than the machine-created Leweeken by the legion commander, appeared in the sky.

It was the result of the growth of Lewicken, who was a hatchling.

[LeWicken used .]

[All abilities are strengthened by 2 levels. The hatchling’s body has become stronger, befitting a dragon.]

[The skills you have will be strengthened, and ‘Dragon Language Magic’ that can only be used when you are a Bone Dragon will be unlocked.]

Gift, .

LeWicken was filled with the power of ‘life’ that he would have been able to handle if he had grown normally.

That power was what made the guy grow so quickly.

– Kuuuuuu… … .

A spark appeared in Le Wicken’s empty eyes.

The flame shook violently with anger. The bastard’s gaze was directed to one place: where the legion commander was.

The guy was showing great anger towards the commander who had killed him and turned him into a machine.

And Baek Sa-jun.

“good.”

It did not stop LeWicken’s wrath.

“Show me your anger.”

– Kwaaaaah!

A mighty roar that filled Daejeon.

LeWicken showed his anger with all his might.
