Ep. 90
There are a total of 3 patrol ships chasing Aadhai.
That spacecraft, which resembles a 40m long rectangular box, is the Aegis, a small corvette model used in Megacorp.
Of course, even though it is small, it has four plasma batteries, so you cannot attack it blindly.
'how will we do it.'
All around are ruins that Black destroyed with his psychic breath heat ray, so it is not suitable for hiding.
'If you're going to run away, I think you'll have to use the underground passage they took here.'
However, in this situation, running underground is not a particularly good option.
Aadhai is being chased right now. If you try to hide for no reason and accidentally get hit by a plasma bullet, it will be a big problem.
'Moreover, Aadhai is injured.'
The body smells like a mixture of human blood and animal blood.
If I don't plan on abandoning him here, I can't burden him any more than this.
'There must be some means to buy time… ah.'
Come to think of it, when I lost my mind, No. 26 threw Black and the cult corpses at me as food.
'After eating black, a text box definitely appeared.'
Because I was out of my mind, I only knew that something was flashing before my eyes, but I didn't look into it in detail.
I quickly checked the text box.
"Predation effect activated! Successfully acquired the 'Dragon's Majesty' gene essence.｣
｢Takeover 'Dragon's Majesty' among the creature characteristics of 'Code Black'.｣
｢Do you want to apply 'Dragon's Majesty'?｣
｢Predation effect activated! Successfully acquired the 'Pain Spear' genetic essence.｣
｢Takeover 'Pain Spear' from the creature characteristics of 'Code Black'.｣
｢Do you want to apply 'Pain Spear'?｣
｢Predation effect activated! Successfully acquired the 'Resistance' gene essence.｣
｢Stolen 'Resistance' from the biological characteristics of 'Code Black'.｣
｢Do you want to apply 'Resistance'?｣
All are powerful characteristics. Plus, one of them is something I need right now.
When I accepted everything, a new translucent text box appeared and my body began to mutate.
｢The 'Dragon's Majesty' trait has been applied. ｣
｢Can be combined with the existing 'clairvoyance'.'
｢The 'Dragon's Majesty' and 'clairvoyance' traits are fused. Evolves into the 'Watcher of Fear' trait!"
"Watcher of Fear: Instills indescribable fear into one specific intelligence. There is a certain probability that the target may be affected.
*P.S.: It goes without saying what the oldest human emotion is.｣
｢'Pain Spear' trait has been applied.｣
｢Can be fused with the existing 'Breath of Fire'.｣
｢'Pain Spear' ' and 'Breath of Fire' characteristics are combined. Evolves with the 'Corrupting Fungal Organ' trait! ｣
｢Corrupting Fungal Organ: Spews mold spores that deteriorate and contaminate the enemy's natural healing ability.
*PS: Corruption is another form of circulation."
This mutation occurred around the head and its surroundings.
Starting from the area around my eyes, the itchiness spread to my entire head.
Changes were made to the surface of the outer shell, such as being dented or protruded, and the horns also curved toward the front of the head, creating swirl-shaped patterns on the surface.
When I previously acquired a superpower-enhanced type, a geometric pattern was engraved on the carapace covering my head. On top of that, new patterns resembling eyes were added.
As the name 'Watcher of Fear' suggests, it had an appearance that made it feel as if numerous eyes were watching the outside world.
Change doesn't just happen overhead.
The combustion organ in my throat was lost, and a new organ that produced and fired microorganisms was created in its place. Thanks to the new organ, the entire neck became much thicker than before.
The 'resistance' characteristic was a change that occurred inside the body, so it was not clearly visible on the outside.
'good.'
After completing the evolution with new characteristics, I called number 26.
[ Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuw
"Are you talking about food with four appendages?"
[Zu (Yes)]
I didn't point it out because it wasn't a particularly wrong expression.
[Zuzuz zuzu zuzuzu zuzu (There's a person inside that metal box)]
"Yes. I can feel it.｣
[Zuzuzuzuzuzu (I can't catch everything on my own)]
"Yes, yes. "I'll help you!"
I'm glad he's a guy who understands quickly.
There may be one patrol ship, but there are three of them, so it is not easy for me to deal with them alone. Number 26 should help here.
[Zuzu Zuzu Zuzu (You have power)]
｢Power?｣
[Zuzu Zuzu Zuzu (Power that drives people crazy)]
If you can properly use the 'Fear of the Deep' trait, you can neutralize the crew aboard the patrol ship. You can.
'There were often cases in the game where the Sea Demon would focus its fear of the deep on tanks or supports.'
The Deep Sea Fear debuff effect at this time is so powerful that it cannot be blocked even if you have thorough immunity.
'This place may be different because it is reality…'
Also, the distance between this place and the location of the patrol ship is quite far, so even if No. 26 uses Fear of the Deep, I don't know if it will be able to reach the ship.
'no. 'If you think negatively, there is no end to it.'
Number 26 is still small, but it is still a Sea Demon.
'He can do it.'
Plus, he's a smart guy. If you just get the hang of it, you can definitely do it.
[Zuzu zuzuzu zuzu (Concentrate your power)]
｢Yes. "Uuuuuu!"
While No. 26 was trembling and concentrating, I looked at Aadhai.
This guy was hovering in the air around here with a patrol ship attached. Although it continues to evade the patrol ship's bombardment with spirited flight, its speed is gradually decreasing.
'I can't last much like that.'
[Zuz zuzuzu zuzu zuzuzu zuzuzu (I think I want to make my goal clear and hold on to it)]
｢Hold on?｣
[Zu zuzuzu zuzu (Yes. I will never let you go)]
｢I'll try.｣
Actually, I don't know if what I said is correct or not. I do not know.
I just briefly explained the sensation of focusing your senses on auxiliary organs when targeting someone.
But I think that was quite helpful to No. 26.
The colorful energy that was fluctuating over the guy's body converged in one place and took the shape of a huge eye.
"That's it!"
No. 26 gave a wave of joy.
At that moment, the auxiliary organ stood stiffly and warned me.
There is a very dangerous being in front of me.
The muscles in my fighting arms and legs contract with tension, and the blood flow of acidic blood in my body speeds up.
This feeling was the same as when I first encountered Sihyeon Eugene or Black.
'It was successful.'
The fear of the deep sea written by No. 26 must be influencing me.
As I thought, the fear that had been squeezing my heart quickly disappeared. I unlocked it after realizing that I was affected by the fear of the deep sea.
[Zuzuzu (good job)]
｢Aren't I amazing? Isn't it amazing?」
[Zuzu (Yes)]
I stroked No. 26, who was happy.
If I were to feel fear, the average flight attendant would never be able to endure it.
[Zuzuzu zuzuz (Throw me like before)]
"Yes."
It wrapped its thick tentacles around my waist.
"Go!"
The tentacle that was holding me shook violently, pushing my body into the air.
When it transformed into a symbol of hunting, its size reached 5 meters (excluding its tail) and it weighed so much that No. 26 could not throw me as high as it could.
However, now that the size and weight have been greatly reduced, I was able to fly to the location of the corvette at a very high speed.
In the air, I stretched out my fighting arms and launched the vampire tentacles towards the patrol ship.
As soon as the red tentacle touched the ship, small saw blades on the surface dug into the outer wall of the ship.
With my body still fixed, I clung to the patrol ship while retrieving the vampire tentacle.
The crew must have realized that I was on board, and the two turrets placed on the left side of the patrol ship were aimed at me.
I crouched down, dodged the first bullet, and crawled towards the nearby turret.
As I approached the turret, I activated my ghost claws and put my hand inside the turret.
I released the ghost claw just at the tip of the fingernail and cut off the part where the electrical circuit was.
'Just one thing for now.'
The turret that was targeting me made an error and soon stopped.
The remaining turret tried to shoot me, but I was already prepared for that.
The two rows of bone plates on my back collided with each other, sending out waves that disrupted the machine.
Sparks flew out from the joint of the plasma turret that was hit by the wave and was immediately neutralized.
Since the hijacking was successful, control of that turret is now in my hands.
The two turrets on the other side could not shoot me because my position on the outer wall was square.
'This is the end of external risk factors.'
The words shouted by the sailors inside the outer wall are detected through auxiliary organs.
The enemies are in a state of confusion due to an unplanned new enemy.
'It's still not enough.'
If this side contacts another patrol ship and tells them to shoot me, I will be finished.
We need to do more to prevent that from happening.
My auxiliary organ began to stir and search for anyone on the crew who had a strong metallic odor.
While the auxiliary engines were working, I hijacked the turret and aimed it at another ship.
As the screaming and cursing inside became even more intense than before, the turret spewed out a ball of intense green energy.
The energy sphere flew straight and struck the tail of another corvette.
The patrol ship that was hit was greatly shaken, but the flight itself seemed to have no major problems.
'It's definitely difficult for me to control it myself.'
Meanwhile, the auxiliary organ found the target I was looking for.
I activated Fear Watch on him and crawled to the side of the patrol ship.
In front of the door where the crew got on and off, I destroyed the terminal inside with my ghost claws.
'Let's finish it quickly.'
I ripped open the half-open door and entered the inside of the patrol ship.
–
"Damn it! Neutralize the 1st battery on the left!"
"The second shell on the left is also out of control! "Do something!"
"I have no choice but to turn off the fire assist AI system and then re-enable it!"
The interior of patrol ship number 1408 of the Defense Fleet was in complete chaos.
They were chasing a green flying object a while ago, but an unknown enemy ambushed them.
"Where has he gone! "It's not visible on the camera on the right!"
"Found on the upper camera! "What are you doing?"
"Whatever you do, you have to get him down!"
Even as the crew in the situation room was trying to figure out what to do about the monster, the defense forces aboard the ship did not neglect their vigilance.
Soldier No. 13, like his colleagues, was on high alert in preparation for an emergency that could occur at any moment.
At that time, all of the lights inside the patrol ship suddenly went out.
Then, the noise in the noisy boat disappeared in an instant.
"uh?"
Embarrassed, Soldier No. 13 held the Gauss rifle and looked ahead.
"What is it?"
After a while, the emergency lights turned on and the inside of the ship turned red. And he couldn't help but be shocked by the sight that was revealed.
Crew members were torn to pieces, sprawled out on the cold metal floor, and hideous-looking monsters were devouring their bodies.
"Ugh!"
"Hey, what's wrong?"
As he screamed, someone next to him placed a hand on his shoulder.
Soldier No. 13 looked around to see if it was a colleague, then gasped and stopped breathing.
This is because a being that looked exactly like a corpse-eating monster was smiling at him.
The monster, with black blood flowing from the corners of its eyes and its mouth torn to the ears, bared its teeth at him.
"Lord die!"
Soldier number 13 shot the monster with a Gauss rifle.
The monster, which had a hole in its abdomen big enough to fit a ping-pong ball, collapsed.
Then the monsters that were eating the corpse screamed and rushed at him.
"Aaaah! die! die! "Die!"
Each time the gun spewed fire, the monsters fell one by one.
Did he know that his colleague was dead? Numerous monsters appeared from other rooms and poured in here.
Soldier No. 13 was about to aim his rifle at them when a metal bullet flew out of nowhere and pierced his head.
Only after his head was pierced did he realize who the monster he had killed was.
"Fuck! "You crazy bastard!"
"hey! Wake! "Hold on just a little longer!"
"Medic!"
"headquarters! This is room 1408! "Soldier 13 went crazy and shot a friend!"
Without any time to regret what he had done, Soldier No. 13's mind was immersed in darkness.
–
'It's a success.'
Thanks to the soldiers being attacked by the Fear Watcher, 7 out of 20 people on board died.
'It's a downgraded version of Fear of the Deep, but it's usable enough.'
The Watcher of Fear can be said to be a deep-sea fear targeting only one person.
Of course, unlike the fear of the deep sea, it has the disadvantage that the effect that makes the target go crazy only activates by chance, but it is still a powerful enough characteristic.
'It's especially excellent when confusing the enemy like now.'
While the enemy was at a loss, I was running through the passageway inside the corvette.
Thanks to the soldier who went crazy due to the fearful watcher and opened fire in the situation room, all the National Guard troops are concentrated there.
Without them noticing, I raced down the aisle, thinning out the crew I met.
"Please save me! "Save me…Kek!"
I knelt down and pulled out the head of the screaming flight attendant, chewed his head once, and swallowed it.
As I was eating the corpse and running to the situation room, bullets came flying from there.
'It's a tungsten bullet. 'No way.'
Normal bullets, not penetrating bullets, cannot pierce my outer shell.
I turned my head inside the door of the situation room where the soldiers were hiding and opened my mouth wide.
The microbial production organ in the back of my throat kicked into gear and vomited a mold-filled lump out of my mouth.
"Ahh! "Fuck!"
Mold spores flew in a parabola, passed over the soldiers' heads, and landed inside the situation room.
The lump exploded, making a sound as if plastic containing food waste had been thrown to the floor.
"What is this…Uweeee!"
"Hehehehe! "Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu22
be besneakeing us to us the screams of soldiers hit by fragments of lumps.
Corruption Fungal Organ, which is a fusion of Pain Spear and Fire Breath, has a very different effect than the materials.
Only the Fire Breath feature of spewing something out of the mouth, which worsens the regenerative power of the Pain Spear, is inherited, and the rest are completely different from the effects of the materials.
'Because it's an infection-related fusion trait in the first place.'
Putrefactive fungal organs are characterized by the production of fungal spores that cause necrotic decay of the wound.
When the spores explode, the fungus inside comes out and infects other organisms.
To prevent infection, it must be treated with an antifungal agent or treatment that removes the fungus.
'If you keep your head straight, you can solve it without difficulty, but it will be difficult during battle.'
In the game, if a player is hit by a mold from a rotting fungal organ, they will immediately panic. This is because, according to the setting, creatures affected by mold suffer from the pain of their entire bodies rotting in real time.
It is impossible to provide first aid alone if there is no one around to help.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
….."
All the soldiers who were vomiting or screaming from the extreme pain were barely able to breathe.
Their faces were covered in pustules the size of fingernails, and their clothes were soaked with sweat, blood, and pus.
Some of them were bleeding black blood from their noses and mouths, as if their bodies had already rotted inside.
After confirming that all personnel on board the ship were completely neutralized, I entered the situation room.
'It would be nice to control it myself, but I can't control the warship alone.'
Although it may be a small probe, I cannot control the corvette model, which belongs to a warship, because my hands are lacking. At best, only autonomous navigation using AI is possible.
'It's unfortunate, but I have to do this at least.'
I set the direction in the direction of the friendly corvette shown on the radar and told the AI to charge at full speed.
The patrol ship's engine roared and the situation room where I was standing shook violently. While the patrol ship advanced furiously toward its target, I returned the way I came.
When I crawled out of the outer wall of the patrol ship, I saw that one of the two remaining ships was already falling toward the bottom.
On the ground, it was clear that No. 26 was disturbing the crew with the fear of the deep sea.
Meanwhile, the patrol ship I was on and the enemy were rapidly approaching. The enemy belatedly realized what this ship was going to do and quickly turned around.
As the ship narrowly passed by, I stretched out my vampire tentacles and switched to another patrol ship.
A patrol ship carrying fungus-infected soldiers lost its pilot and flew toward the dome surrounding the city in the distance.
｢Adult!｣
Adhai sees me from afar and shoots a wave.
'I'll say hello later.'
All that remains is this ship that I boarded.
There is only one small patrol ship left and the 20 crew members inside. They are the last enemies.
If the enemy had risked damage and shot the patrol ship I was on, things would not have turned out like this.
They made the wrong choice and now there is only one option left for them.
Just being violated.
