Transformation or Death - Transformation or Death chapter 294
294 – Snake’s Head (3)
The touch on my shoulder was unpleasant. The wet feel of the tongue felt more like the blood of something the snake had eaten rather than the snake’s saliva. Heavy and sticky. The snake’s breath became wind and passed by my cheek.
“Even a simple rabbit runs away when a lion approaches, so why would I obediently let you eat it?”
puck. As he swung his fist, the arm holding his shoulder burst and fell away. The tip of his masked tongue smiled lowly and looked at the cross section of his severed arm.
“Anyway, it doesn’t matter what you decide.”
The snake turned its head back and the tip of its tongue also moved away. Other heads came around the snake.
“I eat anything. “No matter how big it is or how strong it is, you must put it in this mouth.”
The bodies of nine snakes moved as if surrounding the Watcher. It wrapped its tail around its neck, strangling its windpipe, and gradually came closer, as if trying to stuff its weakened body into its mouth.
A shadow is cast. No matter where I looked, there were only snake scales. The texture of the scales looked closer to armor made of scales than to that of an actual snake. I could feel the hardness like iron armor just by looking at it. I couldn’t even make a scratch with the cannonball, so even if I swung the knife, it felt like it would break in reverse.
A unique fishy smell and a noise similar to the sound of metal rubbing against scales. It was covered in scales everywhere, so it felt spectacular. The wall of scales was so huge that it felt like a mountain range with scales moving rather than a snake.
From noble mtl dot net
The only evidence that indicated that the scaly mountains were snakes were the heads that were present when you turned your gaze to follow their movements. nine heads. Huge heads, often sticking out their tongues and exhaling, looked eerily down at the Watcher.
Seven of the nine heads were opened. One was the head whose neck had just been decapitated by the Watcher’s attack, and the other was the head in the middle who had been talking to him earlier.
Fazizik. Sparks flew from the open mouths. Starlight gathered in that mouth. Each star shined in a different color.
What was particularly special among them was the largest head below. The mouth split into two and the head also split into two. The head, divided into two, was similar in size to the heads of other snakes.
“What the fuck is that….”
I thought it was too big for some reason, but it turned out to be two heads merged into one.
‘…for a moment.’
So the snake has ten heads, not nine, or more?
‘If, as predicted, every head has different abilities…’
That’s dangerous.
The Watcher who had made his decision did not hesitate. Starlight gathered in his hands. The gathered light was condensed into a very small form like a firefly. Dozens of points of starlight were created in the same way. It was a short time, less than a second.
The dots circulated in a circle in my hand. Like electrons revolving around the atomic nucleus, they each rotated while maintaining their own trajectories. In this way, a sphere made up of dozens of dots was created. As the dots repeated rotation, the sphere condensed again and turned into a single dot.
That point had an absolute coldness that took away all the heat around it. The Watcher’s fingertips slightly froze.
The power of ice concentrated to its limit. The starlight, compressed to the limit, vibrated strongly as if it would explode at any time.
[ASTRONOMICAL OBSERVATION.]
The observed stars are reproduced here in the palm of your hand. The radiance of the beloved dwelled there.
[SIRIUS.]
It is the birth of a star.
[THE BLACK HOLE.]
Soon, it was death.
The principle of the star was realized within him and shone as a miracle.
The compressed light was liberated.
Quaaa-! The light, which extended in all directions while making a strong sound, soon erased the sound. Colors were erased, air flow was erased, and even movement was eventually erased.
What unfolds is a world of black and white.
[OVER THE TIME.]
Time froze.
The Watcher took his first steps into the frozen world. He used the snake’s body as a springboard to jump, and then he climbed onto the head of one of the snakes. He even stepped on the snake’s head and jumped up, eventually reaching the head of the snake he had just spoken to.
When I looked again, I saw that the snake’s head was different from the other heads, with shiny colored scales all over it. It’s hard to confirm because it’s black and white, but there’s a high probability that it was golden.
The Watcher determined that this head with golden scales was the main body.
I guessed that from the fact that it had intelligence on its own, and the way it seemed to be leading other heads, etc.
I flinch. The right leg that was stepping on the main body was shaking.
“I’m dying from pain….”
The poison seeped deep. Fortunately, it did not spread throughout the body, but the right leg lost its function.
[What kind of poison is this… Why… Why isn’t it getting better…!]
Spica muttered bitterly. Not only did the treatment progress, but even the painkilling effect decreased.
‘I’m okay. Rather than healing, focus on adjusting output first.’
[what? Are you crazy?]
‘Just do that for now. ‘It’s not too late to heal later.’
[It’s late, you idiot. Healing must be done right then!]
‘…please do me a favor.’
Tsk. A clicking sound was heard from her belt.
[Don’t regret cutting your leg later?]
‘I’ll ask for healing then.’
[Are you an asshole?]
The red starlight flowing down the bridge disappeared.
“…Ugh… Ugh… Ugh….”
Intense pain shook my whole body and mind. The pain was felt only in one leg, but the price was paid throughout the body. My eyes are spinning. Breathing was difficult and even maintaining balance was difficult.
As his head was lowered, the Watcher took a step forward with his right foot and straightened up. Her painful moans were transformed into cheers.
“Ugh… ahhh!!”
Starlight shines on my legs. The flesh covered by the armor was rotting and cracking, and a crunching sound was heard as if the bones inside were broken. But there is no stopping.
He was the one who endured the pain that could lead to death. The pain that could not kill only made him stronger.
The principles of the universe are contained in small legs. Brilliance of all kinds of colors fluctuates and dyes the bridge like a luminous body.
The light forged the leg like a blade. I raised my leg, which was enveloped in a sharp flash of light, straight up. The flexible, raised legs covered half of the Watcher’s face.
“aaah!!!!”
With a shout that I couldn’t tell if it was a cheer or a roar, I slammed my leg down on the soaring trajectory.
Sreung! A razor-sharp line of light split the snake’s head. The whole body was cracked like glass shattering around the one place where the kick hit.
Blood shot. Blood gushes out like a waterfall, and the snake’s head falls off.
At the same time, the black-and-white world regained its original colors. It didn’t make much of a difference because there were snakes all over the place with black shadows.
Still, there was a difference before and after the stop, and that was that the snake, which had as much blood as its size, had its head cut off and the surrounding area painted red.
Watcher was also covered in blood. I looked around from the snake’s neck as it collapsed, its entire body drenched in blood.
There was no confusion for the snakes that lost their bodies. They turned their heads and glared at their original target, the Watcher.
The starlight gathered inside their mouths flashed. Before I knew it, the light had a clear shape and color.
Light became breath.
Condensed power, commonly called breath, erupted in various forms.
Flame, freeze, thunderbolt, wind, sand, poison, light. As the huge breaths came together, it looked like a meteorite approaching.
The Watcher grasped the nature of all breaths in an instant and then stretched out his hands. Starlight with a breath-like quality gathered in his hand.
The principle is the same as in case of contradiction. Rather, these attacks were the most convenient and easy to deal with.
There was no one in this world who could beat him in a simple battle of strength.
For him who mastered the principles of the universe, the principle of force was the easiest solution.
Rays of various colors collided with the breath. The brief battle of strength between Ray and Breath ultimately ended in Ray’s victory.
The beam of light that pierced the breath reached the heads behind it.
Shoo! Instead of avoiding the beam, one head came towards it. It was one of the heads that had been split in two.
The snake opened its mouth wide and devoured the ray of light.
[What crazy…]
Han Jae-joong forgot what to say at that absurd sight. Spica took his heart and placed it in her mouth.
It was a crazy sight.
The crazy scene didn’t end there. A snake was eating a freshly cut body.
It was also one of the two snakes that split apart. At the same time, it was the only snake that did not shoot its breath.
Gulp. Golden scales grew from the snake that swallowed the dead body in one bite.
The snake opened its mouth. Just like the body before, the tip of the tongue was in the shape of a person wearing a mask.
The tip of the masked tongue spoke.
“Just as you thought, that head was the main body. But if there’s one thing I’m wrong about, it’s that the body isn’t important to me.”
The snake’s neck wriggled. I could feel the head I had just swallowed being digested inside.
“What’s the point when you can be replaced at any time?”
It ate the main body and became the main body. The snake grinned. The tip of the tongue was also distorted by the movement.
“My heads are at odds. Since they are each other’s competitors, they prey on each other like this. “No matter how big you get or how many heads you have, when you come to your senses, there are only nine left.”
Slurp. The snake’s heads began to move.
“By the way, I was quite surprised. I never thought it would be that strong. If this continues, the rest of the heads will also disappear.”
The snake admitted.
That guy is strong. Even though one of his legs was disabled by poison, that’s it. He is very talented and has excellent military power. To that extent, it easily surpassed the snake.
The snake thought he wasn’t at his best yet. I didn’t have the confidence to take him down head on, even though he would use more skills and strength here.
“In any universe I have ever seen, I have never seen you as strong as you are now. That’s amazing. How did you get so strong? ”
So, please step aside for now.
“Unfortunately, now is the time to step down.”
Snakes are cunning animals.
When it sees an opponent that neither its poison nor its teeth can work with, it is an animal that does not show stubbornness and quietly curls its tail and runs away.
The heads of the snakes began to disappear one by one.
“See you again later.”
Just like that, the darkness surrounding us disappeared.
“When you are at your weakest, my head will swallow your head.”
With one final curse, the snake disappeared completely.
Only the blue sky remained there.
**
After finishing work, Han Jaejoong headed to where Jo Ayun was.
“You idiot, you idiot!!”
As soon as Jo Ayun saw his face, he poured out a series of curses.
“If you’re dead, why did you go alone!!”
Seeing my beloved younger brother giving me loving advice with tears in my eyes, I felt like my tension had gone away.
“Sorry. But it’s so worth it. “I got quite a bit of information.”
“Where are you hurt?!”
“Uh… a little bit… but… whatever! It’s not worth worrying about! Let’s eat first! “I’ll tell you while I eat.”
“This guy is really… Ugh, okay. How can I break that stubbornness? Oh right. Be careful, brother. “Ahi is so upset because of her brother…”
He adjusted his belt while listening to Jo Ayun.
Piyung. With a light mechanical sound, the armor wrapped around the body became starlight and dispersed.
“So what do you want to eat?”
It was the moment when Jo Ayun turned around to see his face.
Right next to Han Jaejoong, a snake the size of a human was opening its mouth.
Jo Ayun immediately threw a butterfly. But her snake’s movements were faster than hers.
Kwasik! The snake bit off Han Jaejoong’s head in one bite and swallowed it. And then it disappeared before the butterfly could reach it.
Quadang. Han Jae-joong’s decapitated body was lying on the floor.
