I Became an Evolving Space Monster

Episode 315 – Relic (2)

–

‘It’s unexpected that it wasn’t an outspacer.’

The situation was very bad.

Si-hyeon also expected that he was not a pure out-spacer. That type of outspacer did not exist in the Megacorp data archive.

Still, I judged that it was either a variant equivalent to the queen or a completely new outspacer.

But it was neither.

‘Abyss Destroyer’ is an artifact that selects and destroys only specific genes. If he is an outspacer, death is inevitable.

However, even though it was touched by the Abyss Destroyer’s wavelength, it did not die. Just got injured.

We already know that that monster strengthens itself through advanced genetic manipulation. The reason it collapsed after being hit by the Abyss Destroyer was probably because the outspacer genes that make up its body were destroyed.

In fact, that alone is fatal damage, but problems still remain.

‘What was once a scary being has now become a wounded beast.’

There’s no way that smart monster wouldn’t know what a terrifying weapon the Abyss Destroyer is. It was clear that he would chase after her somehow before she ran away.

Although there are a lot of cults roaming around in this underground area, it is unlikely that they will kill that monster. It will be fortunate if I don’t become the sacrifice that restores him.

That’s why he didn’t bring his men in the first place. If you bring them in without any combat training, they will just end up as food for you.

In the end, she has to deal with him herself. Even from her perspective, leaving the monster alone would be too risky. I have to end up here somehow.

‘I need genetic information to kill him.’

If you collect the monster’s genetic information flesh or blood and place it in the Abyss Destroyer, the artifact will analyze the genetic data on its own. Once the analysis is complete, you can kill him.

‘The problem is how to harvest the guy’s flesh…’

Even though the gene unit was damaged, the guy ended up collapsing on the floor. Injuring a monster with incredible durability and outstanding intelligence and collecting genetic data was no easy task.

At that time, a mechanical groaning sound reached her ears.

“Hmm, where are we?”

This was the sound made by Lila, who was lying on the floor.

The life management suit, which had been in a temporary state of recovery after receiving a strong shock, returns to normal and begins to move. She struggled to get up and leaned her back against the wall.

“What happened? “Have you defeated that monster?”

“It’s a failure. “We succeeded in injuring him, but we failed to kill him.”

?….?

Laila closed her mouth at Sihyeon’s words.

A moment later, a modulated voice came from the silenced life management suit.

“Then what do you plan to do?”

“They will come after me before I get out. Know.”

“How about informing the cults and moving together?”

Yesterday, when Sihyeon was preparing to go underground, Nern contacted her.

If you’re going to fight him, join forces with the cult. If he talks to Alshas, the cult will support her.

“That seems difficult. There’s no way they’ll leave my relics alone.”

“I guess so.”

Sihyeon rejected Nern’s offer.

This was because it was clear that the cults would try to get their hands on the Abyss Destroyer when they saw it. Even if it was Kisos who promised to support her.

The Abyss Destroyer is something only she can use, but will that give them up? It was easy to imagine how the cult would treat her.

‘But if I continue like this, I will die.’

She looked down at the crystal battery mounted on the Abyss Destroyer.

This battery obtained with the artifact was analyzed for its composition and structure, but no information was found. It is completely unknown what it is made of and how it operates, but like the main body, this equipment also possesses transcendent power.

The crystal battery is responsible for charging energy so that the Abyss Destroyer can continue to fire gene destruction waves.

Of course, just because there is no battery does not mean that the console does not work. As a result of experiments before coming to Berzan 02, the remaining amount of already charged energy remained in the weapon even when the battery was removed.

However, the only way to supply energy to the Abyss Destroyer is to equip it with a crystal battery. I tried every method, but charging failed.

That means that without the crystal battery, the Abyss Destroyer is effectively a disposable weapon. If you want to continue using the console, this battery is essential.

‘Current energy remaining in the battery is 60%.’

When this energy is used up, it must take time to recharge. It’s not that long, but it takes about a day to complete charging, so you can’t use it all the time.

‘Twice from now on.’

Since each shot consumes about 30% of her energy, she has a total of two opportunities left to counterattack him. You have to harvest its flesh and attack it within those two times.

But he must be expecting her to use the weapon again. Using her and Lila as bait won’t work anymore.

Unfavorable situation in all conditions except for artifacts. She bit her lip.

‘In the end, there is no way.’

The only way was to join the underground cults and see if there was an opportunity. I had no choice but to take advantage of the moment he was fighting the cult and harvest the flesh, then wait until a situation came up where I could use the weapon.

‘It’s like feeding a monster…’

It is a monster that absorbs genes and strengthens the body. If you fight the cults, your injuries will recover quickly, but there was no other way.

Just as she made her decision and was about to open her mouth, Lila spoke first.

“wait a minute. I received a call from Captain Nern. She said she would help her because she now has a way to provide support on her own.”

Thanks to the communication device built into her life management suit, she can receive simple messages.

‘Nerne is helping us?’

There are numerous cult warriors underground, so there is no reason for him to help Sihyeon and his party. As if they were aware of Sihyeon’s question, Lila continued to explain.

“According to the cult advisor with Nern, there was talk of capturing him from above.”

“Capturing him alive? “I’m out of my mind.”

They both had that thought at one time. As a result, one person died and another person became unable to live without the suit.

“It seems like they decided that the only way to kill them before that was through relics. Nerne said that the advisor also has a deep resentment because he lost his family. “

It looks like he received support from Alshas.”

Currently, Alshas is unable to directly participate in the operation and is acting as an advisor. Still, his reputation is that of the captain of an imperial carrier. It would be possible to give a powerful weapon to Nern instead of myself.

“Once I sent you the coordinates, come there…”

Before Lila finished speaking, the passage shook slightly. The two, who knew what that meant, were shocked.

“You’re a bastard. “Guide me to the coordinates.”

“Okay.”

The thing that vibrates the underground passage is getting closer to them.

The two ran towards the coordinates sent by Nern.

–

‘You’re not joining a cult?’

Contrary to my expectations, Sihyeon and her colleagues were heading in the wrong direction. Looking at the traces they left behind, it was far from where the cults were located.

‘It didn’t cause any communication disruption.’

There is no number 26 here and I have not used ‘Dark Veil’. Because communication is not smooth, it is difficult to believe that they are running away to a strange place.

‘Is there some intention?’

If you’re just trying to kill time, there’s no reason to go anywhere other than where the cults are.

All you have to do is tie me up as bait for the cultists and use a weapon. Why would someone throw away a good bait and act like that?

‘If you go in the direction you’re going now, you’re close to the ground.’

At first glance, it looks like they are giving up the fight and trying to run away, but that cannot be said with certainty. Sihyeon Eugene is the person who hit me hard. There is a high probability that they have prepared a trap that I am not aware of.

Perhaps her followers on earth are preparing a trap.

‘It’s a trap.’

It’s true that I’m worried, but the important goal now is to destroy her weapon. Now is the time to move even if you know it is a trap.

I entrusted guard to the two heads on either side and increased the speed of the chase.

The opponents are also humans wearing reinforced suits, but they cannot move faster than a 60m Amorph.

Soon, the other person’s footsteps began to be heard. By this time, they would have realized that I was following them.

As I ran, I called out to the human beings.

Small monsters with human heads and bodies resembling insects crawl out of a nest located on the lower part of the carapace of the back. Five human worms clung upside down to the ceiling of the cave and crawled quickly.

“!”

Sihyeon, seen from afar, swung his left arm wide towards me. Gallagon’s claws protruded from the back of his hand and fired a sword wind made of psychic power.

I rushed forward while being hit by a sword wind. The weapon that attacked me is hanging on her waist.

‘good.’

I was watching the surroundings with both heads, wondering if they were hiding it again, but there was no need to do that anymore.

Tentacles all shot out from my back and headed towards her waist.

A colleague wearing a reinforced suit who was following behind her pointed the muzzle of the Slayer’s gun in his hand at the tentacle. A dark blue light flashed and I felt a sharp pain coming from one of my tentacles. The performance of the reinforced suit was quite good, and even though I shot it while running, it hit the appendage of my tentacle.

However, it doesn’t have much meaning. The remaining five tentacles are heading towards Sihyeon.

“Tch!”

Wings protruded from her back and she soared quickly into the air. Some of my tentacles landed on the ground where she was standing and some followed behind her.

When the tentacles’ pointed appendages tried to grab Sihyeon, she defended herself by folding her wings to minimize the bulk of her body or creating shields on both arms to bounce them off. When it was difficult to block, I took advantage of my size and deliberately flew between the tentacles, causing them to tangle with each other.

She manages to slip through the tentacles that fill the underground tunnel. I felt this before, but the combat sense was so good that it reminded me of battles with players.

‘But tentacles aren’t everything to me.’

While attacking with tentacles, my body became even closer to the enemy. The right side of my head moved to swallow the vision whole.

“Where!”

The moment it opened its mouth wide and was about to swallow her whole, a mechanical sound was heard from below. A colleague wearing a reinforced suit struck the ground where I was standing with both hands. My legs were slightly wobbly because the floor was slightly lifted.

‘It’s a bother.’

?Pfft!?

Instead of using my disabled fighting arm, I hit the opponent hard with my winged arm. The enemy flew away like a fly hit by a newspaper and landed on the wall.

Next, the left side of my head fired an acid breath towards the wall where the opponent was stuck. Unfortunately, the opponent who did not faint this time urgently dodged the breath.

“Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

! Not only did the reinforced clothing melt, but even the bare legs protected inside disappeared entirely.

“Damn it!”

Si-hyeon, seeing his colleague suffer, drew his weapon again.

I hadn’t used it until now, but seeing that I was finally pulling it out, it was clear that there were limitations.

‘It seems like the type that has a limit to the number of times.’

Besides, there aren’t many left. Two or three times at most? They probably acted like that because they didn’t have much opportunity to attack.

The crystal mounted on the weapon rotates and emits an eerie light.

I know that I cannot avoid those waves in this narrow underground space. But this time, unlike before, I prepared in advance.

‘now!’

“What?!”

Five human beings hiding in the ceiling flew at her. She was preoccupied with me and was taken aback by the sudden appearance of the number.

One of the beasts shot a paralyzing sound wave at her. For a split second, her body stopped and then moved again.

However, even if it was only a short time, it was enough time for Inmyeonsu. The beast that approached her used its sharp front legs to strike down the arm holding the weapon.

“Ugh!”

With a short groan, she let go of her weapon. The moment the weapon fell from my hand, the crystal stopped rotating.

The other Inmyeonsu was about to destroy the weapon when Sihyeon reached out for the falling weapon.

A whip made of psychic power shoots out from her palm and flies towards the weapon. The front paw of the inmyeonsu approaching the falling weapon is about to touch the weapon.

In a split second, I gave a new command to the person in charge. As a result, the trajectory of the front foot was slightly distorted.

The whip wrapped around the weapon first with a slight difference. Immediately afterwards, the beast’s front paw struck the surface of the weapon. A short impact sound followed, and the weapon wrapped around the whip returned to its owner.

“…!”

After recovering the weapon, Si-hyeon tried to activate it but stopped. He noticed something strange about the weapon that resembled a vacuum cleaner.

Her eyes are focused on the floor.

There was a crystal that had lost its light. Instead of slamming the weapon down, the assassin who received my order struck the crystal attached to the top to separate it.

My head was already moving when she realized that.

I put my head down on the floor with my mouth wide open. The dirt, sand, and crystal weapon inside were sucked through my long neck and into my body.

“You!”

I fly in as she cuts down the people around her. When my tentacles and heads got in the way, she responded with reflection.

The head and tentacles retreated backwards and Gallagon’s claws decapitated me. But that alone is not enough to make you vomit out things that are about to be digested.

If she had had time, the heads on the right and left were preparing to attack again on both sides.

Because of that, she had no choice but to be content with covering up the blood gushing from my neck. Protecting her right head with reflection and her left head with a shield, she retreated.

Meanwhile, all the objects I swallowed were digested. Then I felt intense heat inside my body.

?Acquisition conditions: Genetic similarity to ‘player ■■’?

?Confirm acquisition conditions. Disarms the defensive wall.?

?Compatible with the strong enemy’s badge, ‘Plunderer’s Irregular Polyhedron’.?

?Applying ‘Plunderer’s Irregular Polyhedron (Void Dice)’.?

‘This?’

It felt completely different from when the Marauder’s Indeterminate Polyhedron was activated. It seemed as if not just a part of the body was changing, but the entire cellular unit that made up the body was being reborn.

Just like when evolving.

“I got a call! “I’m in the air right now….”

“Tell them to attack right now!”

While I was unable to move due to the sudden change, I felt the enemies moving away. Correspondingly, powerful energy was concentrated above my head.

And then, distantly intense heat and light poured down on me.
