Ep. 88
"I'm special special special dying? Die…"
Black transformed into a hideous person.
Even while her appearance changed, she continued to talk.
'This is the first time I've seen something change so strangely because of the Necrofactor.'
To briefly summarize her appearance, she looks like a mutated corpse monster from a classic horror game set in space.
The yak horns on his temples were grotesquely twisted, and two new eyes were located where all the hair had fallen out.
The right arm mutated into the shape of an elongated spear, as if the summoned Pain Spear had merged with the body.
There were overgrown mouths all over his left arm, with his tongue lashing out.
Thanks to the fusion of the black shroud and the body, the body was practically naked, but it felt more unpleasant than beautiful.
Even though I like alien monsters, I couldn't find anything appealing about her appearance.
"Shaaaaa!"
Black, or Necrofactor, kicked off the ground and jumped up.
When he raised his left arm in the air, purple whips came out from the mouth on his arm and rushed towards where I was.
As if the whips had an ego, they targeted my weaknesses from all directions.
Instead of avoiding the whip, I jumped into it.
He blocked the whip coming from the front with his head, and deflected the whip that pierced his side with the shield carapace on his wrist.
Some of the whips I couldn't block were aimed at my back and legs to tear me apart.
But don't worry.
"I can't forgive the soot that torments the big baby!"
The flying whip stopped in place as if it had been nailed in the air and then disappeared.
This is thanks to No. 26's 'binding' ability, which has become much stronger than before.
The psychic whips that flew at random were neutralized, and in the meantime, I approached the Necrofactor closely.
"go away! Turn it off, turn it off! die!"
The guy swung his arm fused with the Pain Spear at me with a vicious grin.
You can't just accept that. Not only is my regenerative ability blocked, but it is also because the Necrofactor takes away my vitality.
Necrofactor is a being that was created by sacrificing its life to Black Shroud.
Therefore, the more life force is robbed and offered to Black Shroud, the more it returns to its original form, that is, the human form before death.
The reinforcing effect remains the same, but the destabilizing effect gradually decreases.
In other words, the longer you delay when fighting the Necrofactor, the worse it is.
I turned my body wide to the side to avoid the Pain Spear he swung. There, he changed his Pain Spear into a hook shape, as if he expected me to dodge it.
'No problem.'
However, I was also reading his attack.
Just before its hook hit my thigh, a vampire tentacle came out from the end of my fighting arm and struck the guy in the side.
"urg! die!"
As it flew away after being hit by my attack, its left arm glowed.
'danger!'
I quickly lowered my head and straightened the crown-like carapace on the back of my head.
A thin black heat ray was fired from the mouth of the Necrofactor's left arm and struck my head.
'Ugh!'
I took a few steps back, saw the heat rays coming one after another, and quickly ran away.
Five black heat rays followed closely behind me, ready to tear me apart.
'There is no limit to energy consumption due to acceptance.'
The destructive power is definitely lower than when the mind is sane, but firing multiple shots at the same time is not a disadvantage.
The heat rays doggedly followed the tip of my tail, destroying everything around me, including houses, trees, streets, and cars.
"die! die! Kill it!"
The guy who was yelling irritably and shooting heat rays suddenly closed his mouth.
When I turned around, I saw a purple net tightening its entire body.
The person who threw the net was number 26.
As No. 26's tentacle twitched, blood spurted from its body.
"Kaaaaaaak!"
As the guy screamed and strained his arms, the restraints placed on No. 26 began to loosen little by little.
Seeing that, No. 26 switched to another attack without delay. Its long tentacles broke and dug into the ground.
"I'll kill you, kill you… ugh!"
He changed the target to No. 26 and tried to fire the heat ray on the spot, but his intention was not successful.
This is because thick tentacles rose from the ground and aimed for his arm.
The guy quickly retrieved his left arm and jumped back.
It retreated and swung its right arm, but the tentacles quickly became smaller and its attack ended up only cutting into the air.
'It has increased a lot.'
The Sea Demon can freely adjust its size when operating its tentacles.
No. 26 has previously shown skillful use of tentacles.
Is that why? Even after growing up, he was able to use it well in battle without any problems.
While the two were fighting, I moved quickly to close the distance with the Necrofactor.
I took a deep breath, waiting for the moment it landed on the ground.
As it exhaled, a long stream of flame burned its face.
"Kyaaaaaak!"
Necrofactors take half damage from all types of attacks, but that doesn't mean the pain goes away.
The thing was struggling, clutching its head as flames engulfed its entire body.
'I heard the burning pain is that painful.'
The four eyes of the man struggling in pain all focused on the flames. Reflection activated and the flames were reflected and spread around the creature.
Taking advantage of the time he was focusing on the fire, I stabbed him in the shoulder with the bone blade arm attached to his back.
No, I tried to stab him.
As one of the four eyes focused on my bone blade, an additional reflection was activated in the air, deflecting my attack.
As the attack from the arm on my back was pushed back and my body shook, its spear shot out, cutting through black smoke and red flames.
The goal of the spear is my hand.
Currently, I lost my tail and have not recovered, so the only weapons left are three fighting arms and a bone blade arm attached to my back. Among them, I'm planning to disable the combat hand that I use most often.
But there was something he didn't know either.
Just before the tip of the spear pierced my palm, my hand glowed purple.
The spear passed through my hand like a piercing haze.
"?!"
He's out of his mind, but he's probably quite embarrassed right now and his eyes are wide open.
I raised the fingernails of my good hand and cut the guy from bottom to top.
Unfortunately, it failed again this time. As he retreated and used reflection, my attack bounced in the wrong direction.
A whip came out from its left arm and tried to hit my arm, but No. 26 blocked it.
While the restraints were holding on to the guy's arms, No. 26's tentacles aimed at the back of his head at the same time.
"this person! "You fucking bastards!"
The Necrofactor screamed in anger and tried to fire a heat ray from its left arm.
I shook my head sharply and hit his left arm with my horn. With an eerie sound, the guy's arm was bent in a bizarre direction.
The guy with the heat ray blocked kicked me.
I don't know if it's because of his original characteristics, but his leg strength was by no means weak.
My stomach caved in and my body was thrown backwards.
Then, its Pain Spear flew in to stab me. I barely managed to block the attack by raising my fighting arms from my collapsed stance.
'We've already allowed an attack for the second time.'
Its power has become much stronger than before. The current attack tore off half of the shield carapace on my arm.
"Ugh, what is this…?"
Light came back to his eyes for a moment, as if his mind was recovering.
"Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss, I, I, special, special, special, special…"
Because it had not yet absorbed enough life force to suppress the instability effect, its eyes returned to a blurry state.
'It won't be easy in close combat.'
During close combat, there are situations where it is difficult to avoid the enemy's attack no matter what you do. The more you do this, the faster it becomes stronger.
'But it's also difficult to leave it entirely to No. 26.'
It has no means of attack that can effectively hit the Necrofactor.
Breaking necks with restraints, like when fighting humans, does not work on Necrofactors. Maybe it would be better if No. 26 was fully grown, but it lacks strength right now.
Saw-blade tentacles are also a double-edged sword. It is possible to injure the Necrofactor with its tentacles, but if it attacks, it will be a huge loss to No. 26.
Also, since No. 26 does not have a hard shell like me, even a light attack from Necrofactor can cause fatal injuries.
'I need to change my ways.'
At first, the idea was to disable the left arm, which was the most threatening weapon, but looking at the situation, it didn't seem easy.
Because even without reason, he was accurately aware of his weaknesses.
'There is no more time. 'Let's put everything on the line for this attack.'
"Die now! die!"
It lunged at me, baring its teeth like a rabid dog. The spear he wields turns into a hook and tries to hit me.
Because I moved faster than before, I narrowly avoided his attack. After kicking the hook stuck in the ground and breaking the guy's posture, I used the opportunity to look at No. 26.
The guy who felt my gaze briefly radiated light.
It means to follow any plan.
'good.'
I stamped my feet and launched myself backwards.
The guy who was aiming for my ankle by modifying the hook stuck in the ground clicked his tongue when his attack was in vain.
Watching him click his tongue, he definitely seems to have regained his senses more than before.
But I wasn't impatient.
The guy raised his left arm to fire a heat ray at me, who had widened the distance. At that time, the ground behind it split and tentacles came out.
No. 26's tentacles wrapped around the Necrofactor's left arm.
He tried to flick the tentacle away with his reflection, but at that moment, fragments of rebar under the destroyed road flew into his eyes.
"Kyaaaaaaa!"
I think it was originally intended to penetrate, but due to its resistance, it ended up only stabbing its eyes.
"Shaaaaa!"
The one whose vital area was attacked made a sound that could not be described as a scream or a roar, and grabbed the tentacle with its right arm and ripped it off.
No. 26's body trembled from the pain of his bare skin being torn.
So much so that I can even feel the tentacles of the guy holding me.
"are you okay! "It doesn't hurt at all!"
The guy who shouted like that tightened his tentacles and threw me high into the sky.
The direction No. 26 threw me was above his head.
As I was flying toward my destination, I turned my head and aimed at the top of his head.
And the psychic breath that had been prepared in advance poured down from above on him.
"What?!"
The guy must have decided that this was dangerous and quickly tried to pull back.
"You can't go!"
The restraints No. 26 put on with all his might hindered his movements. It was only an extremely short period of time, but it was enough time for the psychic breath to reach the guy.
The guy looked at No. 26 in disbelief, but it was already too late.
The dragon's flames mercilessly enveloped the Necrofactor's body.
–
'The enemy is faster than expected!'
Red, who was continuing to fire anti-aircraft fire at the enemy in the air, broke into a cold sweat without realizing it.
The tungsten bullet she fired with the coil gun and condensed plasma was obviously larger than a regular bullet, but it was difficult to say that it was clearly visible in this darkness.
Thanks to her psychic control web, she can sense and control bullets fired from a coil gun, but the enemy cannot.
The night in the space city was artificially created, so even though it was relatively bright, it was not easy to dodge all the bullets one by one like the Green Gallagon.
Code Red had experience fighting Gallagon along with other shadows.
But there was no one as agile and fearsome as the green demon she was dealing with now.
'Urgent support!'
She had already attempted to forcefully summon Black using spiritual attunement several times.
But all failed.
There was no response from Black.
This points to only one fact.
It's just that Black is in Necrofactor mode.
"Tsk!"
A red light came on from the coil gun and a message came out saying that there was not much ammo left.
The thing is so close that an ordinary person without any ability can see it with the naked eye.
Unfavorable circumstances awakened dormant emotions within her.
Fear of defeat.
'Emergency retreat!'
She threw away the useless coil gun and concentrated.
It was to lift the spiritual attunement placed on Black and summon her colleague Code Blue.
It was something she should never have done in the first place, but she was currently out of her mind because of the fear of death she had experienced for the first time in a long time.
A green meteor quickly approached the purple halo glowing above her head.
'There's still room.'
While fighting a while ago, I calculated the speed at which Green Gallagon was moving.
At his speed, he can't reach her before Code Blue is summoned.
That's what she thought, but there was one thing she overlooked.
Because Green Gallagon has not reached full speed yet.
"?!"
Its wings glowed bright green and its speed increased significantly.
A shock wave was generated behind the man's rapidly accelerating body. A roar that tore through the air rang out, and all the windows on the outer wall of the monument trembled.
With a loud roar, it closed the distance in an instant and then folded its wings back further.
As the surface area was extremely reduced under accelerated conditions, its speed was literally like that of a comet.
All the windows on the 50th floor, where the observatory is located, were broken due to the shock wave, and the chairs inside the observatory were scattered around.
'Misjudgment.'
Red closed his eyes when he saw the purple eyes of the guy who had already reached his nose.
Even after Green Gallagon destroyed her body, he passed through not only the observatory, but the entire floor.
Is it a coincidence?
The moment Green Gallagon spread his wings again above the monument, another dragon's fire was burning intensely in the distance.
