Transformation or Death - Transformation or Death chapter 265

265 – Storm (4)

meteor. Among them, meteors visible during the day.

It was a public auspicious sign of this era.

That beam of light is a signal that a magical girl is busy on the move.

It was a trace of someone rushing through the sky to save someone in danger.

But now, for Ara, that shooting star was not auspicious.

“You can’t come!”

I screamed hard not to come. But it is a distance that cannot be reached. Despite Ara’s cries, the meteor came closer and closer to the ship.

Within seconds of seeing the first meteor, a huge flash of light hit the ship.

Quagwang! The deck shattered, pieces of wood flew, and huge waves hit the ship. Ara frowned as she felt the spray hit her face.

‘Who came?’

The spray had turned into fog, making it difficult to see what was ahead. Ara linked her vision with the mascot and checked the rescuer who had arrived.

The magical girl’s light reflected off the water droplets and shone like a pearl. Mysterious silver light. Ara recognized the identity of the person who arrived.

“Silver Luna, the princess of light, appears here! “In the name of the moon, I will not forgive you!”

It was Silver Luna.

The first magical girl in this generation to awaken divine power. She is a person of considerable power. If such a person were to become a member of this ship, there is no need to imagine how great a threat he would be to humanity.

Ara shouted again impatiently.

“Hey, over there! Run away now! “You shouldn’t be here!”

“…?”

Silver Luna turned her head at the urgent voice.

‘Where have I heard that before…’

It was a voice that was not unfamiliar. While reading her memories to recall the owner of the voice, Silver Luna discovered some people beyond the pale water mist.

“Lemon! cyanogen! maroon? Even mint…”

All the missing magical girls were there. Silver Luna, forgetting the warning someone had just given her, approached them as if she were possessed.

“Thank goodness! “You’re alive!”

I naturally stretched out my hand. She had no doubt that they would hold hands.

But what came back was a stern rejection. The girl called Lemon swung her fist at Silver Luna. humming-! The noise of violence tearing through the rough sea breeze confused Silver Luna.

If I hadn’t pulled my hand away right away, my wrist would have been broken.

“Protect the captain!”

“The sea water is coming in! “Lay the boat!”

The missing magical girls began to command skillfully.

“Lay the boat!”

“Lay the boat!”

“No, I’m a newbie, but I’m being arrogant. Tsk, that’s it. “Lay the boat!!”

Beginning with her instructions, identical cries were heard among the sailors, as if in a round song. They sat in their assigned seats and rowed. The ship shook and shook.

A ship wandering on the sea floated in the air. The Argo instantly became an airship. Under the influence of gravity, the sea water that had accumulated on her deck flowed down.

Even at that moment, Lemon attacked Silver Luna. Her arms and legs, wrapped in her fragrant starlight, came aiming for Silver Luna’s vital spot.

Silver Luna dodged all the attacks as if she had known about them in advance. In contrast to his cool-headed movements, his facial expression was tearful. The arrogance that I wore like a trademark was hard to find.

“Why, why are you attacking me…?”

I couldn’t understand. Lemon wasn’t the only one attacking. Other magical girls who had gone missing with her also swung their weapons, aiming for her Silver Luna’s blind spot.

“Did I usually cause you that much trouble…? “I hurt you with my words and actions…”

Ara, who was looking at that, tried to open her mouth again.

“That’s… Eup!”

Someone covered her mouth to keep her quiet. Ara raised her head above her own in surprise. The monster she saw for the first time was covering her mouth.

From noble mtl dot net

‘who….’

What kind of monster is it, what is its constellation? What is that ability? Is he a monster in the headquarters’ records? Her head spun rapidly.

“quietly.”

She, who rarely forgets what she saw once, quickly contrasted her memories with the identity of the monster who had silenced her. Fortunately, he was a monster who remained in the headquarters’ records.

‘…the monster of the Lyra constellation.’

As Ara recalled the details, she was so shocked that she was unable to continue thinking. He was not physically shocked. It was a mental shock.

‘Already… a dead monster?’

Because the monster in the constellation Lyra was a monster that was exorcised by his predecessors in the past.

How did the dead monster come back to life? The secret cannot be revealed at the moment. Even dead people can come back to life, so there’s no reason why the monster didn’t do that.

This is a time when a quick decision is needed. If it is a fact that cannot be revealed, it is better not to think about it. Ara quickly erased that question from her head.

‘That’s not important right now.’

Ara looked at Silver Luna’s fight again. Even though it was a battle against many, she was not pushed back at all.

‘Aren’t you brainwashed from the moment you board the ship…?’

Even after quite a bit of time had passed since boarding the ship, there was no sign of any abnormality in Silver Luna.

“everyone! If you have any complaints, say it out loud! Of course, I am wealthy and popular, but if I do something like this out of jealousy, I will be crossing a river that I cannot turn back from…”

“What are you saying!”

“Unlucky!”

Although he shows emotional turmoil, he does not appear to be a shipmate.

‘The condition for brainwashing wasn’t boarding…?’

Maybe there are other conditions other than boarding. Ara glanced at the wound on her calf.

‘Why did I get this scar…? How did he feel so threatened that he resisted to the point of inflicting injuries like this…?’

You have to think of it. That memory will be the strongest clue. If the divine magic girl is taken away like this, it will be a huge loss.

“…sorry.”

bang! Ara’s body, lost in her reminiscences due to her sense of duty, swayed greatly. The wound on her calf already made it difficult for her to maintain her balance. If it weren’t for the monster covering her mouth behind her, she would have fallen forward.

The cause of this shaking was Silver Luna’s foot stomping. There was a dent where she stepped. An unusual current of air flowed.

The air around her swirled like a whirlpool. Her starlight became darker and more intense, and just looking at it made my skin tingle as if I had been struck by lightning.

Light exploded from her pendant.

‘Are you really trying to use divinity…? ‘Here?’

It is too fragile a ship to withstand the divinity. If you use that, your stomach will spread.

It is quite far from the sea. If the ship is destroyed here, it will fall into free fall.

‘I’m tied up right now and can’t even transform…?!’

Silver Luna, who had made up her mind, pursed her lips.

“We’ll cover all your treatment costs later… so just be a little quiet for now!”

Subdue all magical girls. Each of them was a veteran with extensive experience. If you come forward with an appropriate attitude, you will be met with a counterattack.

It would be better to just close your eyes and use divinity to quickly subdue everyone.

“Then let’s go… Wow!”

An arrow flew. Four feet at the same time. Three came from the square and one came from the front. The arrow that came from the front pierced Lemon’s chest right in front of her eyes.

Silver Luna waved her hand and deflected the arrow. Each arrow was heavy. He quickly deflected one foot and tried to respond with the other, but due to its heaviness, time was delayed. As I bounced off three shots slower than expected, I had no time to respond to the other shot.

Silver Luna made a mistake in calculating her strength and was hit by an arrow defenseless.

bang! Silver Luna bounced all the way to the bow with a loud noise. Just before she fell, Silver Luna grabbed the carved goddess statue on the prow, pinning her body to it.

“No…”

Silver Luna came back onto the ship and witnessed a shocking sight.

“Lemon, you can’t die here… huh?”

Lemon, who must have had a huge hole in her chest, was clean without a single wound. Even the clothes weren’t frayed at all.

Even if we assume that a magical girl’s clothes can be repaired quickly since they are woven with magic thread, it doesn’t make sense for her body. Lemon did not have that kind of recovery ability.

‘That’s…’

Ara knew the recovery. It was identical in appearance to the strange recovery ability used by Argo Family executives in the past.

‘Argo… Could this be the new headquarters of the Argo family…?! Well, I heard that the Argo family was wiped out in the fight with the scorpion, but here…’

Ara’s head became even more confused.

“The most basic way for a magical girl to respond is to prevent transformation. Try that shit again. “I will stop you again.”

Amundsen flicked his empty bowstring as he watched Silver Luna board the ship again.

“You coward.”

“oooh crap.”

“shut up! “This is the standard response!”

The sailors around him criticized him, but Amundsen persevered.

“Hoo….”

The monster who called himself the king observed Silver Luna with interest.

“This is so precious….”

“Like a red comet in your heart!”

At that time, as if repeating the appearance of Silver Luna, a new comet approached and struck the ship. The boards on the deck were carved and scattered again.

“Red Vega appears!”

As I looked up along the pieces of wood, I saw starlight coming one after another in the air.

“It’s urgent.”

“It’s not that good to be first.”

“Chanchic Show (Damn) …! “I thought I would be first…!”

“Guys, be serious.”

Not only Red Vega, but also the most powerful figures among magical girls arrived one after another. Among them were Odette and Watcher, who were clearly treated as monsters.

“Uh, benefactor?!”

Silver Luna turned red and looked at the Watcher. She also had no doubts about their presence among magical girls.

‘Have we officially entered into a partnership?’

Ara, who was isolated from society’s information on a remote island, did not know the Watcher’s current social status. Ara felt fear for a moment before she even thought about that question.

Gathered here are the strongest people at the top of humanity. They are the only hope for humanity.

‘Wait a minute, if all these people fall under that monster…’

Humanity is at an end.

“A hero recognizes a hero! I knew it at a glance! “You guys are strong!”

The monster opened his mouth. He was not embarrassed by the presence of so many intruders and welcomed them back to the station.

Watcher looked at him and felt familiar.

Although they looked different, the atmosphere they gave off was very similar. Appearance looks like wooden planks glued together, waist with something like a belt attached…

“…Jason?”

The Watcher muttered the name.

“Hmm, it’s been a while since my name was called. You’re always called captain or your majesty, a fool or an idiot, etc. “Did you know what I looked like before I opened my eyes?”

The monster confirmed that the name was his.

“I’m going to turn.”

Feeling a headache, Watcher touched his forehead. What on earth happened to change you like that?

‘No, it has changed so far and that is probably its original appearance.’

It became clear. This storm was created by Jason, not the sea serpent. The huge shadow that I saw must have represented this ship.

The culprit in this commotion is Jason.

[Are you going to kill me?]

‘Just… take a look.’

I reserved my answer to Spica’s question. Among the members of the ship were Amundsen, Ara, and magical girls who had gone missing in Japan. I don’t know what harm would come to them if they tried to kill Jason right here.

Above all, I didn’t want to hit Jason’s head as he was the only one among the monsters who protected civilians.

“They’re heroes and heroines who know me… It’s fun.”

Jason smiled and sat down in the helm seat.

“It’s fate that we met like this, so why don’t we at least talk about it? Put away your weapons. “It will be enough to brag about your strength later.”

“Now, wait a minute, Captain! Are you planning to leave the intruders alone?!”

One of the Japanese magical girls protested.

‘captain…?’

I didn’t understand why a magical girl would use that title for a monster.

I looked down at Ara and saw that she was glaring at him intensely as if she wanted to say something.

“If you want to talk, why don’t you release the hostages first.”

“hostage? Ah… Orpheus, I told you not to be too rough with me.”

Jason clicked his tongue as he looked at Ara, whose mouth was covered.

The Lyra monster called Orpheus laughed awkwardly.

“I think the excitement will be ruined if I don’t shut this woman’s mouth. “I’m sorry, but I’m going to keep you quiet for a while.”

“okay! Are you going to make a lot of noise again? “I’m going to stop even talking to you.”

Amundsen also helped.

“Well… I can’t help it when my comrades say this. “I’m sorry, but I’ll leave it as is.”

It was an attitude that did not tolerate objections. He appeared to be considerate, but was thoroughly overbearing. He solidified his position as the center of this game.

In the first place, the act of consideration is sympathy. It is the goodwill that the strong give to the weak. Jason defined the intruders as weaker than himself.

“Now then, what should I talk about… Okay, I guess I should first explain why I’m wandering around this vast ocean.”

His words and actions were relaxed.

“I’m greedy. If you want, you are the type of person who will only be satisfied if you get everything in your hands. From delicious food and drink, to armor and weapons, decorations and decorations, works of art, land, sea, sky, and even people.”

“My dream is to take control of this world. And these are my colleagues who will take over the world with me.”

A clear goal. His eyes were full of eagerness. It was completely different from his wandering past.

Everything changed: appearance, speech, personality, values, and sense of purpose. He was no longer the Jason Han Jaejoong knew.

“You saw stars, Jason.”

Jason heard that and laughed heartily.

“Of course I saw it! When I saw it, I wanted it! “I plan to make even the countless stars in the sky mine!”

Jason stretched out his hand.

“What about you too? Won’t you join me? Won’t you use that power for me? “Don’t you want to have the world with me?”

At that moment, Ara’s eyes sparkled. Her instinctive fear and rejection came flooding back. She made her arrow again and tried to stab it in herself. She had her body restrained.

“Be my comrade!”

With those words, Ara’s act of defiance stopped.

Those were the words.

Those words were a sign of brainwashing. I figured it out, but I wasn’t particularly impressed. It has no meaning anymore. I didn’t really feel like resisting the brainwashing.

Gradually, the question of why I tried to resist disappeared, and soon even the memory of trying to resist disappeared.

Orpheus took her hand from her mouth.

“…It’s awesome.”

Every single word Jason said made a huge impression on her.

“I said something…”

Yun Seol-hwa sighed deeply.

“What I want is not the world. “One person is enough.”

“There is that person in the world.”

“Because of that person, there is value in the world. So I’ll decline your offer. “I want to achieve it with my own strength.”

Jo Ayun nodded.

“There is always only one companion for me. I don’t want to be your colleague. Besides, I’m too busy and too capable to support just one person’s dream.”

“I have the same opinion. My role is to embrace, not dominate. “I’m not interested in your greed.”

Jaejoong Han also expressed his intention to decline.

“…Me too, yes.”

Baek Ah-hee opened her mouth.

“My role is a guardian. Not a ruler. I have no desire to own this world. “I don’t have any…”

She blurted out her words.

“…I’m a little interested.”

Baek Ah-hee’s firm resolve wavered.

“I’m going to turn.”

Han Jaejoong frowned. A headache prickled his brain.

I quietly observed the battlefield from above, where a single word from the enemy created an atmosphere of unrest.

Hostility began to turn into admiration.

“It’s an enemy you can’t fight without your brain….”

Jaejoong Han noticed that brainwashing was now being used.

[hey! Let’s learn that quickly! You should also use hypnosis to make girls go crazy! Oh right, was that already written? Well, then change your common sense! Legal enslavement of magical girls by hypnotizing the entire nation…]

Hearing Spica’s voice in the throes of excitement, like a middle schooler telling obscenities, Han Jaejoong let out a deep sigh.
