Ep. 228

The Gallagons flying this way suddenly stopped and changed their formation. They kept their distance and surrounded the mountain peak where I was.

Soon, purple lights flashed beyond the clouds. They surrounded me in a circle and fired a volley of shots.

'also.'

Psychic breath that densely decorates the wide sky. Even Aadhai, the fastest Gallagon I've ever seen, was difficult to avoid.

'I have no intention of avoiding it.'

I spread my wings and fighting arms wide to greet the flying purple waves.

Soon, the breath emitted by the dragons of space attacked the mountain peak.

The jewel's nest that lost its owner was shattered, and the trees that made up the small forest were caught up in a hail of energy. The ground beneath my feet collapsed and the tip of the peak was completely blown away.

Due to the barrage of psychic breath, a large-scale avalanche occurred on the mountainside. It was so enormous that it seemed as if the entire mountain had been washed away with snow and ice. The explosion caused by the psychic breath was buried in the roar of the avalanche and was not heard.

"Stop,"

Od Grad ordered, and the Gallagon group stopped. Breath's salvo was powerful enough to rival the Cult Empire's fleet. Thanks to this, this place became a mess to the point where it could no longer be called Twin Peaks.

One of them approaches through the blizzard to check.

At that timing, I vigorously waved my newly formed wings with red stripes. The snow and ice covering me fell and my body rose rapidly.

My wings become a storm and drive away a blizzard. Green Gallagon is embarrassed to see me looking fine. It was surprising that there was not a single wound despite the heavy barrage of artillery fire.

I rushed at Green Gallagon, who couldn't react properly. The horn, which had become much more vicious than when we had seen it before, pierced the creature's abdomen.

The guy is writhing in extreme pain. I grabbed his body with my fighting arms to shorten his suffering.

And then, with the strength of his arms, he tore the guy's body apart. Gallagon's blood soaked my cold scales. Among the scattered fragments, he did not miss the head and grabbed it with the claws of his tail.

The Gallagons seem to be intimidated by my cruel appearance and become agitated.

Only Od Grad, who was flying steadily behind Gallagon, was able to maintain his cool.

｢Black Slayer｣

He attacked first as a check, but he must have expected that I wouldn't die from this. Of course, I didn't expect there to be no injuries at all.

｢You bastard｣｢It has changed｣

[zuzu zuzuzuzu zuzu zuzuzu (I prepared to hunt you)]

｢Foolish｣｢Great Od Grad｣｢I will not be defeated｣

When he nodded, the Gallagons surrounded me from afar. This distance has been narrowed. Since it has been confirmed that the breath does not work, the intention is to try to win the match through hand-to-hand combat.

I flicked my tail and threw the Green Gallagon's head into my mouth. I inhaled Gallagon's sweet blood and took out the most powerful weapon I had.

The black scales covering its entire body glow eerily in unidentifiable colors of green and purple. Rainbow-colored tar flows from the abyss and flows down the monster's tentacles that extend from the back of its head to the chin of its neck.

And the essence of the abyss formed at the tip of the tentacle. The bubble-shaped psychic breath moved to engulf the enemies.

The Gallagons who saw the bubbles quickly dispersed. As it dispersed, it threw something it was holding with its front paws into the air.

What they threw was the flesh of an unknown creature. Against my will, the flying psychic breath hit the piece of meat first.

The chunk of meat melting from the psychic breath fell to the invisible surface.

It's hard to see because it's far away, but the other guys are also holding several pieces of the creature's flesh with their front and hind feet and tail.

'…smart?'

It was clear that Od Grad had been researching my characteristics just as I was analyzing him.

The psychic breath with the color of the abyss has very strong firepower and a chain explosion effect, making it very effective in melee with groups. This is because if it devours all the organisms, it will automatically rush towards a new target nearby.

The downside is that it does not identify enemies and the projection speed is slow. Od Grad had identified this weakness in that short period of time and had prepared a countermeasure.

'If there had been No. 26, it wouldn't have been a big problem…'

He must have come here because he knew I was alone. That's probably why I chose that method.

The Gallagons that had nullified the enhanced psychic breath approached me. Since they are so close, I can no longer use the colors of the abyss.

A gallagon with pure white scales swung its front paw at me. Its sharp claws scratched across my carapace.

Feeling sparks flying above my head, I opened my lower jaw and bit into its arm. Before the enemy could withdraw his arm, I grabbed his body tightly with my fighting arm.

Another Green Gallagon lunged at my back. I strongly swung my limp tail toward the ground. A heavy blow was felt through the pincers attached to the end of the tail.

He let go of Green Gallagon, who fell with a broken neck, and pulled White Gallagon's head back. The arm in his mouth was torn off as well, and a thought wave containing his pain echoed in the air.

"Push in" together.

At Od Grad's command, the Gallagons rush in all at once.

I bit the head of the howling White Gallagon and swung my tail. The one flying ahead lowered his head in surprise when he saw my tail. Meanwhile, I threw down the headless corpse and jumped into the crowd of bastards.

The green and white scales glowed dizzyingly, and their claws scratched my carapace and scales. One of the white gallagons pierced my side with its horn. Gallagon's sharp horn pierced the scales and dug inside.

"Pain reduction activated!"

The text box warned, but I ignored it. I acted like this on purpose to wipe them out all at once.

Sharp claws and sharp horns rained down to kill me. Without hesitation, I stretched out my four fighting arms and caught them.

Grasping their body parts tightly with four long fingers, I activated the trait I had acquired by feasting on the Blood River.

'Hands of predatory leeches.'

Then the condition of the Gallagons held in my hands changed suddenly.

The smooth scales shriveled rapidly and the skin and muscles became flabby. The hard horns on its head crumbled and the moist tentacles dried out.

Within a few seconds, the four Gallagons were reduced to desiccated mummies. At the same time, the wound on my side healed rapidly.

Although I have a trait that helps with regeneration, it was at a completely different speed. By the time the guy who stabbed me was captured and robbed of his life, even his scales had been restored to their original state.

Just like God's whip, the effect of the Predatory Leech's hand was simple.

Absorbing the enemy's energy and restoring my body. However, the effect was just so good that it was ignorant.

"Get back!" "You bastard." "Your feet." "Be careful!"

Odd Grad, who was smart, quickly realized the effect of what I had done. The gallagons that were clinging to me and clawing at me quickly retreated.

'Where are you going?'

The moment I tried to catch the tail of the fleeing White Gallagon, a breath of immense power hit me.

'Oud Grad.'

Finally, the guy came forward.

I looked at the area hit by its breath. In the area that was hit directly, the scales and skin peeled off, exposing the muscles inside, and the surrounding area became hot.

Even with the 'mimetic scales' applied, this much damage. It could definitely be said to be something outside the standard. However, thanks to the energy absorbed by the predatory leech's hands, the wound healed in an instant.

'huh?'

A familiar color appeared on the heated carapace for a moment and then disappeared. A strange light mixed with green and purple. It felt similar to when I activated the color of the abyss…

｢Pain reduction activated!｣

'Ugh!'

My thoughts couldn't continue. This is because Od Grad suddenly flew towards me and hit me.

Is it because of the added acceleration? Its horn easily tore through the skin on my fighting arms and wings. I tried to catch him, but he retreated far away at super acceleration.

'…Is this because it is something other than the standard?'

This is a tactic that Adhaj mainly uses, but the results were on a whole different level. Because of the difference in size and power, the destructive power was incomparably terrifying.

It circles and flies towards me, who is falling due to a hole in the wing. I used 'Fear Watcher' enhanced with the color of the abyss.

An ominous light emanated from my carapace and colorful bubbles were created.

The moment I used my ability, another Gallagon shot a psychic breath at the bubble. The bubble that exploded along the way could not go any further and fell to the ground.

I regenerated the skin on my wings with the absorbed energy and tried to increase altitude, but Od Grad blocked me.

It was so fast that it could truly be called black lightning. Its horn flies in to pierce my abdomen.

But this time, I was prepared too. Just in the nick of time, its horn grazed my side and I threw out a tentacle and tried to entangle it. One almost grabbed the guy's back foot, but failed because the guy kicked him hard.

While I was fighting with him, other Gallagons were targeting me. Just like Odd Grad, they used their super acceleration ability to attack me with their claws and fell right away.

'…Are you saying you're going to lose your strength like this?'

Their number exceeds dozens. Even if each attack succeeds just once, it can inflict considerable damage to me.

Like a smart guy, he chose a cunning method. Apart from showing an arrogant attitude.

But I also have a knack for hand-to-hand combat.

I took advantage of their attacks.

A green gallagon flies in to attack me. Perhaps due to its immaturity, it entered hyper-acceleration earlier than the others.

'It is difficult to change the orbit at hyper-acceleration.'

After predicting its flying trajectory, I dodged and stretched out my eroding tentacles. Its attack missed, and the erosion tentacle I threw grabbed its wing.

Green Gallagon is embarrassed. I stretched out my fighting arms to absorb all of its energy.

｢That ability｣｢Cannot be used｣

But Od Grad did not let me recover from my wounds. The black dragon's breath flew out and burned all of Green Gallagon, not me.

As befits an extraordinarily vicious one among Gallagons, he chose to sacrifice his own people.

'okay. Just do it.'

But I wasn't frustrated. Because this was ultimately beneficial to me.

Since then, similar events have occurred several times. As soon as I tried to use the predatory leech's hand, it fired its breath and eliminated the recovery source, i.e. its own kind.

I also approached them to fight back, but it was not easy to chase after the guys flying at super acceleration. If I had to somehow catch it and recover my stamina, Od Grad's attack would come at me without fail.

At this point, Od Grad killed more people than I did, but the Gallagons were still following him. Although he felt disrespectful, he did not betray Od Grad and serve the new king.

The tide of battle was increasingly tilting towards them. The energy absorbed by the predatory leech's hand had already run out, and the injuries on my body were gradually increasing.

"Pain reduction activated!"

Just now, Od Grad flew in and ripped off one of my fighting arms. Instead of throwing away my arm, he even drank the blood in it.

It was a clear provocation towards me. I shot psychic breath in response. Because the color of the abyss was not applied, Od Grad did not dodge and spit out a flame composed of supernatural powers.

Like the sun rising over the sea at dawn, purple light spread over the black sky.

It was a majestic sight created by Black Gallagon and Aimorph, who possessed Gallagon's genes.

But from my point of view, it wasn't that good. I was shooting with all my might, but he wasn't.

During the struggle, the guy increased his breath output significantly, as if he wanted to end the game. The tug-of-war was going on, and as if one side lost strength, the psychic power was suddenly focused on me.

The psychic breath he shot was added to the recoil of my power, hitting my entire body. The mimic scales prevented the body from disintegrating in an instant, but pain and injury were unavoidable.

Some of the skin burned off and my body fell onto the peak.

During the fall, a strange light flashed again on its red-hot shell and then disappeared.

Before I could even figure out why I kept doing this, a huge shock hit my mind. My body was thrown onto the mangled peak.

｢Pain relief activated!｣

Rather than thinking of pain, my first thought was that I was tired. After paying attention to the text box, I looked up at the sky.

'How much time has passed?'

It's been quite a while since we started fighting them. There were still a lot of dark clouds in the sky, making it extremely dark.

No, except for one place.

There was a white line in the middle of the clouds due to the power struggle with Od Grad. A white light was visible through the cracks in the clouds.

At that time, black wings blocked the light. Od Grad had landed in front of me.

I quickly stretched out my fighting arm, which was buried in the ground, but he easily dodged it, as if he had known it in advance. It used its ability to see the future to avoid my surprise attack and hit my arm hard with its tail.

The guy who broke my arm easily knocked away the encroaching tentacle with his front paw. Meanwhile, I was preparing the colors of the abyss and tried to fire a psychic breath at the guy.

"It's no use."

The bastard, who had foreseen it, swung his front paw and cut my monster's tentacles into pieces.

"Grrrrrr!"

Instantly, my head turned white and I screamed without realizing it. A message popped into my mind that pain relief had been activated, but I couldn't make any sense of it.

This was the first time I had experienced such terrible pain since I had been hit by the Abyss-colored version of the Fear Watcher. I couldn't do anything or think anything.

｢The Black Slayer｣｢Weakness｣｢I saw through it｣

｢Grrr….｣

｢Great Od Grad｣｢Strength｣｢Didn't you know｣｢Foolish one｣

He pulled me out of the ground. Even now, I should have grabbed him with my fighting arms, but I didn't have the strength to do so.

The guy who was pressing me down with his hind feet and tail is talking.

"This time too" "Great Od Grad" "Victory"

He raises his ringed paw high. The sun's light pours down from the split sky and illuminates the guy's back.

That halo of light I haven't seen in a long time. The moment I saw small dots moving inside.

I took out the card I had saved until last.

"Die."

It swung its front paw and tore off a piece of flesh from my neck. My blood poured out and I lost consciousness.

Looking at me, who was mortally wounded, he triumphantly drank the blood flowing from the wound.

He clearly seemed to believe that he had won.

His attitude points to only one fact.

[Zuzuzuzu (That's it for now)]

｢?｣

[Zuzuzu Zuzuzu (The future you saw)]

Odd Grad is shocked to learn that I'm not dead. In that gap, I used the 'bone sickle arm' that grew on my back to cut him down.

Specifically, the front paw of the guy wearing the ring.

"You guy!"

The guy who lost his front paw in an instant quickly took a step back. I picked up the body parts that fell on the ground and absorbed them.

"Why don't you die!"

Odd Grad looks at me as the wound on my neck heals and becomes angry.

The only thing that the guy who can see into the future misses is Aimorph's weakness itself.

To kill Aimorph once and for all, you must destroy its head and heart. Not the neck or any other area.

"Brothers!" "Black Slayer" "Kill!"

It spread its wings and flew up, scattering thought waves. It doesn't matter whether it charges at me or shoots its psychic breath, kill it right away.

But the Gallagon group did not move.

｢Od Grad｣｢I command!｣｢Black Slayer｣｢Kill!｣

Od Grad ordered again, but they did not even look at him. At this point, all the Gallagons except the Black Dragon were fixating their gaze on one place.

[Zuzuzuzuzu (Ode Grad)]

"You!"

Instead of answering, I pointed my finger at the sky.

The first bright light I have seen since coming to this planet. Six Gallagons can be seen with their backs to the light.

Od Grad is startled when he realizes who they are.

I looked at the red dragon in their midst and spread out waves.

[Zuzzuzuzu (Serve the Queen)]

Abandoned people and traitors.

Beings from the past have come here to assassinate future tyrants.
