Chapter 264: 264
Ep. 264
–
Kadun instantly closed the distance to the female Wolf with just one foot roll. His fist, which was bigger than an adult male head, flew towards the female Wolff's head.
A strengthening effect was even applied to the body that was born strong. His fists are truly powerful. If you just brush against it, the opponent's head will explode.
He expected the attractive female's head to fly off, but the results were different.
The female Wolf easily dodged the fist by twisting her waist to the side. Kadun's fist hit the air instead of the target.
The opponent took advantage of the recoil from rotating his body and hurled the golden javelin he was holding in his right hand.
"!"
Kadun was taken aback because he didn't expect the enemy to dodge and attack at the same time.
But he is also a skilled fighter. He quickly raised his wrist and struck the javelin at an angle.
The moment his wrist guard, made of very hard metal, collided with the opponent's short spear, sparks flew out with an explosion. Even though fireworks were flying right in front of them, the two didn't even blink at each other.
Kadun, who succeeded in deflecting the spear, took advantage of the opponent's hesitation to throw a kick. The target is the opponent's thigh. Like lightning cutting through dark clouds, his legs rush towards his goal.
In response, the female Wolf jumped up with the force of the spear being thrown out. It was a reversal of the opponent's power.
Kadun's toes barely passed under the opponent's feet. The enemy who dodged the attack retreated far back and widened the distance.
"Tch."
Kadun took a quick look at his wrist guards. Even though it bounced off perfectly, there was a big scratch on the protector.
'It's a protector made of megachrome alloy, but it's scratched.'
Megachrome is a special metal used to make the outer walls of very large space structures such as space cities. It is known to be very hard and heavy, so it is rarely used in reinforced clothing.
Even though he boasts excellent physical abilities, pure Megachrome was a burden, so he made a protector out of alloy. Of course, it was hard enough at that level, so there was no need to worry about it being destroyed when fighting the enemy.
'I need to be careful with that javelin.'
I don't know what it's made of, but its sharpness is unusual.
'But…'
I knew the opponent was quite strong, but Kadun thought it was still worth a try. His eyes focused on the opponent's short spear and ankles.
There was a lot of frost on the area where I collided with him.
Kadun is nicknamed 'Snowclaw' by other cartels. As his nickname suggests, he has the ability to radiate cold from his body. It was one of the powers I gained when I gained the power to transform into a beast.
One of the reasons why he did not bring any other ranged weapons even though he wore a high-grade reinforced suit was because of this cold release ability. Enemies who engage in close combat with him are quickly frozen by the endless cold. Even the largest animals will freeze to death in an instant if they do not have a means to preserve their body temperature.
And the other person was not dressed like Wolff of a primitive tribe. The only thing she was wearing was a sapphire necklace around her neck. Instead, black wave patterns were drawn along the exposed body.
'Savage bitch.'
Kadun hated Wolff for maintaining a primitive civilization. It was true that the opponent was a female with a very beautiful body, but his resolve did not waver.
If we fight at close range a few more times, that bitch will freeze to death.
The female Wolf lightly shook off her frosty ankles and took her stance again. She pulled back the window and lowered her posture. And blue flames began to bloom in his smooth amber eyes.
'what?'
When he met her eyes filled with blue fire, he felt as if he had taken a sip of a strong drug. His sense of reality faded away, and he heard whispers of unknown beings in his ears.
"I'm hungry!" "Kill me!" "Take out my intestines!"
'Mental attack!'
Recognizing the situation he was in, he immediately used his second ability, following the cold release.
"Khuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!"
The powerful roar he let out shook his brain. The unidentified whisper that had been encroaching on my mind disappeared in an instant.
But I still couldn't feel at ease. The female Wolf who had mentally attacked him was already right in front of him.
The javelin she was holding flew into his neck. He hurriedly leaned back to avoid it, but it wasn't perfect.
White fur and red blood drops decorate the air. If I hadn't dodged properly just now, my neck would have been punctured.
The problem is that the opponent's attack is not over yet. Sharp spear blades rained down like bullets from a storm gun.
He quickly crossed his arms. Regardless of other parts, it is dangerous if important organs, including the heart, are injured. And a golden javelin was stuck on top of his wrist guard.
"Ugh!"
The protector was quickly shattered and three or four large holes were made in his wrist. Instead of blocking, he fell backwards and lay down. A spear grazed his protruding snout. He lay down on the metal floor and vigorously kicked his legs into the air.
The left leg hit the back of the opponent's right hand hard. The opponent did not miss the single spear, but his upper body shook greatly. Before adjusting his stance on the other side, his right leg exploded into the enemy's abdomen.
With a loud bang, the female Wolff was pushed back loudly. The enemy flew for almost ten meters and landed safely.
Kadun was greatly surprised when he saw that.
'I was definitely hit by a cold discharge?'
It hit my wrist and stomach properly. It is normal for the cold to have already penetrated into the bones. Nevertheless, the opponent didn't seem much different from when they first exchanged offense and defense.
Kadun slowly stood up with his eyes fixed on the female Wolf.
"Do you think you have special abilities?"
Despite his questions, the female Wolf said nothing. She was just glaring at him with amber eyes that contained no emotion.
"…I guess it doesn't matter."
If the cold release ability doesn't work, you shouldn't fight like you are now. He decided to pull out the last card.
He clicked a few buttons on his chest. Then, the advanced reinforced suit he was wearing separated, spouting out compressed air.
In an instant, his naked body began to mutate. My muscles swelled and my bones twisted. The white hair covering the skin also became longer and thicker. The body type that was advantageous for walking on two feet suddenly changed into that of an animal.
Kadoon suddenly transformed into a ferocious beast with silver fur and leaped forward. He quickly approached the female Wolf and struck her with his front paw.
The female Wolff flew away with an explosion similar to when a patrol ship exploded. She was thrown into a building across the street. Due to the impact, the building could not survive and collapsed.
"You chose the wrong path."
Kadun growled as he looked at the remains of the collapsed building.
As if in response, something came out of the collapsed building.
As he had guessed, his opponent also had the ability to transform.
A beast with golden fur, in contrast to its almost white, silver fur. However, the specific appearance was very different from what he had imagined.
Its face resembled that of a similar cat or a wild beast, but it had horns on its head. Two curved horns, resembling those of a cult, rose above the corners of the eyes.
The body was that of an animal that walked on all fours like a cardoon, but unlike its upper body, which was covered in shaggy fur, its lower body and tail were covered in scales.
The other person's transformed form was not a single animal, but a mixture of the characteristics of several types of creatures.
'Was it not Wolff but the Hulk mutant?'
The monster that came out of the ruins largely shook off the mane surrounding its neck. And he spoke with his amber eyes shining.
「3 minutes.」
「What?」
「I can't keep this up for long, so I'll end it in 3 minutes.」
「You bitch….」
The moment he heard the other person's provocation and was about to attack.
She opened her mouth wide.
'What?!'
A huge amount of flames poured out from within and swept over Kadun.
–
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"
As I was about to pick up the pirate with my wing arms and put it in my mouth, I saw a huge pillar of flame in the distance.
'What about that?'
Among us, there are only three who can cause a fire of that magnitude without any special conditions. Me and Adhai, who can use psychic breath, and…
'Mother of Heaven.'
He transformed into a phantom beast other than a griffon and started the fire.
The effect of her special 'Hunting God's Transformation Shell' is that she can transform into one of the four phantom beasts excluding Griffon. And she has currently unlocked a total of three phantom beasts.
'The second phantom beast unlocked is the Wendigo, unlocked in the Dragon's Nest.'
The third phantom beast unlocked was unlocked after fighting the Gorgon Swarm, so it is not a phantom beast that can be used here.
Therefore, the phantom beast she transformed this time is the first phantom beast she unlocked before meeting me.
'chimera.'
Among the three phantom beasts she has unlocked, she is the one with the most powerful force.
Not only that, but when it comes to close combat, it is so powerful that it ranks among the top five phantom beasts that Wolff can choose from in the world of space survival.
'It was chosen by many players who pursue efficiency.'
Unlike the balance-type phantom beast, the Gryphon, which specializes in crowd control, and the Wendigo, which specializes in long-distance movement, the third phantom beast, the Chimera, specializes in power struggles.
Extremely hard leather, forepaws with tremendous destructive power, ability to spray ultra-high heat flames, high speed, etc. It is a specialist in close and mid-range combat.
'The opponent was a white tiger wolf, so he took it out as a counter.'
Before coming here, I received information about the Marcio Cartel's vice leader, so I guessed that he could transform into a white tiger.
White tigers are also a type that specializes in power struggles, but their tendencies are slightly different from chimeras. It has the characteristic of weakening the opponent and neutralizing the opponent's crowd control or psychic power skills. Simply put, it is a type that weakens and overwhelms the enemy.
However, the specs of the White Tiger itself are by no means inferior, so it can be said to be burdensome to deal with with a Gryphon or Wendigo.
'Originally, I thought I would help you, but…'
Since you've been transformed into a chimera, there's no need to do that.
'Because the chimera's combat power is as strong as when I used the symbol of the hunt.'
It is difficult to make a simple comparison with me, who has a more detailed growth stage, but it is true if limited to close combat. If it is a symbol of hunting written in the sub-adult stage, she wins. If it is the current one, I win.
Of course, although it is strong, it has a fatal flaw. Just the duration and cooldown.
'The duration is 30 minutes. I said the cooldown is one month.'
Before meeting me, she said that she transformed into a chimera when fighting another player, Muriel, but lost when the duration ran out.
It may be that the opponent is a player, but if not, it will be over in 5 minutes. The Mother of Heaven is a ranker after all, and she is also a Wolf ranker.
'Should we clean up the rest?'
"Now wait, wait, wait, wait…!"
I swallowed the pirate I was holding in one gulp.
This is the end for the pirates who jumped from the patrol ship I attacked. Perhaps the other kids' side was also gradually sorted out.
As I walked away from the burning wreckage, I saw PS-111 and No. 26. The two were close to each other, talking intently about something.
'What are you doing?'
"Are you here?"
"I scolded the bad kids!"
When I got closer, they greeted me. There were items from the bodies of dead pirates scattered around Room 26.
It was not disassembled to be eaten. In the first place, No. 26 can digest a body just by growing its body and inserting a corpse.
'I heard you study with PS-111.'
After leaving the dragon's nest, he became very interested in other creatures. Before, he was a guy who worked in sync with me or imitated me, but recently he's delving into more in-depth areas.
The ecology and habits of living things, the structure of the body, etc.
[Zuzuzuz (Did you study?)]
「Yes! "I study!"
"The main controller is very interested in the habits and reproductive activities of living things."
When I asked, No. 26 fired a powerful wave.
To be a good hunter, you must know a lot about your prey. I also became the best Amorph thanks to my vast knowledge.
'The more you know, the better.'
Is this what it feels like to see a child with a passion for learning? I stroked him with my wing arms. It climbed onto my wing arm, its body shining brightly.
[Zuuuu zzzzzzzzz (let's go find Adhai too)]
「Yes.」
"I understand."
"I" "It's over."
The tiger said he would come if I told him to, and a mixed white and red meteor fell from the sky. It was Aadhay who activated Red Gallagon's power 'Red Armor'.
The reason its body was red wasn't just because of the red armor. The smell of blood was strong from the pure white scales, like a pure white dress.
「I」「I'm having a hard time」「Please give me a ride」
「You ate the little baby's food. " It's not hard."
"It's hard." "
Please ride me." "You can ride me, little baby."
"I don't like it." "It's uncomfortable."
He got on my back, leaving PS-111 looking frustrated. Then he folded his wings and laid down leisurely.
'Sometimes it can't be so bad.'
There is no threat to us in this area anyway. Minions implanted with parasites are also sending signals that the organization members have been wiped out.
'It looks like the fight over there is over.'
After the pillar of fire disappeared, several loud noises were heard, but it has now become quiet. I picked up No. 26 and Adhai and moved with PS-111 in the direction of the Heavenly Mother.
In the center of the street, blazing with fire, there was a beast with the horns of a goat, the head of a lion, the upper body of a dragon, and the lower body and tail of a dragon.
It was the mother of heaven who transformed into a chimera. She stepped on a large lump of charcoal with her front paws and turned her head towards us.
"it's over. Although it took 10 seconds longer than expected.」
[Zuzuzu Zuzuzuzu (My skills are rusty)]
「…Is it because it's been a while since I transformed?」
She slightly squinted her amber eyes and put her foot away. Then the lump of charcoal coughed loudly and wriggled.
That being, whose entire body is blackened and who has lost all four legs, is the sacrifice that will raise her level of deification.
The assistant leader of the Marcio Cartel barely opened his eyes and glared at us.
"You guys…cough!" "What the hell!"
Instead of answering, I looked at Heavenly Mother.
"All I have to do is take out the heart and kill it. Before that, it doesn't matter what I do."
[Zuzuzuzu (Thank goodness)]
I approached the half-dead white tiger.
「What?!」
[Zuzuzu zuzuzu zuzu zuzu (I have a lot to ask you)]
He widens his eyes when he sees the black parasite protruding from his fighting arm.
If he hadn't come here, or if he hadn't been in this fortress, he wouldn't have ended up like this today.
He took the wrong path.
