Ep. 184

Even as I crawled up from the underground, white particles began to fall from the dark sky. The quiet snowstorm has returned.

The guy and I glared at each other through the falling snow.

"why? "I've grown just like you. Are you dissatisfied?"

An enemy player laughing at me with a relaxed expression. The golden figure shining brilliantly even in the falling snow was firmly protecting the summoner.

Instead of reacting to his ridicule, I thought back to the battle just now.

'That mysterious particle.'

At least it is certain that it is not made of psychic power. If that were the case, it would have been reflected at least a little with the super-powerful reflective gloves.

'Besides, size is meaningless.'

The size of the golden figure is only about 5m to 6m at most, but that is a trick. Just now, when the golden figure swung its sword-shaped arm, it stretched out in length.

No, to be precise, as soon as the arm was swung, the arrangement of the golden particles that made up the arm changed, transforming into a thin, long sword.

'It looks like sword energy, but it's actually under the guy's control.'

In other words, that golden figure is a summon that freely changes its body. There is no such concept of summons in the game.

'It's either a new technology or…'

It might be the effect of a special privilege he has. Just like the 'Plunder's Indeterminate Polyhedron' that I obtained after killing Muriel, this guy also killed someone and robbed them of the privilege.

'At least two or more.'

I tried using insight on enemy players to see if I could get anything, but nothing came out. The only message is that it contains information that cannot be verified, the same as when seeing Muriel.

The only information available was the name of the enemy player.

'It's Jason.'

The lack of real name was also the same as Muriel.

Aside from what I saw through insight, the predator sense activated from underground did not bring up its name properly. Not only that, but it was visible in fragments and sporadic areas with a lot of noise.

'Is it because the player is the opponent?'

I don't know why it comes out this way, but I'll have to think about that later.

After gathering my thoughts in a short period of time, I started moving again.

The blunt claws on the tail and lower body of the beast that appeared when it turned into a bone beast kicked the snow and ice hard.

My 100m body shoots forward like a storm. In an instant, I got right in front of the cult player, Jason, and struck him down with my fighting arm.

"joy."

A golden figure snorted and blocked my attack. As soon as I touched his shield, the bone thorns on my arms broke off.

"You say it's no use?"

Jason, who was holding his left arm just like the image, lifted his right arm. In accordance with the summoner's movements, the golden figure attempts to attack me once again.

A golden sword sliced through the carapace of my head. When my head came into contact with his sword, intense sparks flew out.

As the head carapace boasts the best defense power on the body along with the claws at the end of the tail, it was not easily cut. Although it was not possible to prevent scars dozens of centimeters deep from forming.

"We'll see how long I can hold out…"

While he was adjusting his posture again, I pulled out all 6 tentacles from his back. Tentacles sticking out like snakes hiding in a jar entangled the golden figure.

In that state, I applied force to the erosion tentacles and pulled the figure. Jason, who was connected to the image, also felt momentarily shaken.

My tail flew towards the faltering creature, sweeping the snow on the ground. The claws at the end were wide open.

Due to the bone beast, the size of the pincer is approximately 10m. If you are caught by claws as hard as the ice horror carapace, you cannot escape, even if you are a dragon slayer set.

"You thought…?"

But Jason was still relaxed. The moment it opened its mouth, the golden figure disintegrated into particles and escaped between my tentacles.

In the blink of an eye, the reconstituted figure quickly created a shield to block my pincers. The shield-shaped left arm was a darker golden color than the rest of the body.

"It's easy."

And a golden figure counterattacks like a fencer extending his sword. I lifted my head up to avoid the attack aimed at the auxiliary organ under my chin.

But its attack is not over yet. Jason, who had been quiet until now, kicked off the ground and jumped into the air.

The shield surrounding it disappeared, my tail passed under its feet, and it flew up, stepping on the snow in the air like a step, and slashed at my chest.

Jason is much smaller than me, so I don't have to worry too much, but the problem is the summon hanging on his back.

This is because a huge golden blade reconstructed from behind the person floating in the air came flying at me to cut my body into pieces.

'this!'

It's a difficult situation to avoid by turning your body to the side. I quickly opened the glide film on my fighting arm.

The original glide film is for gliding and is not suitable for flying on the ground.

However, as my body grew in size, the gliding membranes on each of my six arms also expanded. With six wings, each of which can easily exceed tens of meters, it would not be impossible to briefly levitate the body.

I spread my skin and swung my arms vigorously. A strong wind blew below me, sending my body flying upwards.

"Ac!"

Jason blinks as the wind blows in. The sword that was about to cut into my abdomen suddenly dispersed into golden particles.

"Take care of your talents!"

With his shout, the sword that had lost its physical power instantly returned to its original state and made a shallow cut through my exoskeleton. Meanwhile, in the air, I fell back and swung my tail forward as if I was sweeping a broom.

I thought I was going to make a golden shield like before, but this time I did something different. When it opened its left hand wide, an intangible energy field appeared and pushed my tail in the opposite direction.

It was 'Reflection', a psychic power technique that reflects the opponent's attack.

As the energy contained in the tail was reflected, a tremendous recoil hit my body, but I took advantage of the recoil. My large body was pushed back a long way by the flow of reflected energy.

A huge spear made of golden particles flew towards me as I landed on the snow field. I countered the enemy's attacks, which were persistently targeting my auxiliary organs, with eroding tentacles.

The spear, whose orbit was distorted by the tentacles, turned into a small particle of light and then returned to its original owner's body.

"You bastard. "There's nothing to do but run away, right?"

"…."

"Why are you keeping your mouth shut? Who is that handsome guy ranked 5th? huh?"

Jason looks at me and chuckles. But I didn't answer.

Because there was something more important than that.

'What did you just do?'

I gained two pieces of very important information in just a few minutes.

'When he blinked, he lost reality.'

Jason blinked for a split second due to the wind created as I flew into the air. In that split second, the golden shape was broken into particles.

It was literally a blink of an eye, but I didn't miss it.

'That shape is influenced by its senses.'

In particular, vision appears to play an important role in composing shapes. Shooting a sword or throwing a spear is also likely to be neutralized if you are out of its line of sight.

'And there is a cooldown to change shape.'

After blinking, the reconstructed golden figure tried to cut me with its sword again, but failed. Immediately after that, my tail tried to hit him, but he turned into a shield and didn't block it.

'Unlike the first time, I blocked it with reflection.'

This part is not clear yet. We can't rule out the possibility that he was setting a trap or that he took that action without much thought.

'Let's try an experiment.'

I spread the curtain wide and vigorously swept the floor. The ground in front of me cracked, and ice shards and snow that had just begun to pile up flew into the air, blocking my view.

And then I turned around and started running in the other direction.

"Are you trying to run away from this place with no cover?"

Running away. Of course not.

Because of me, the elevation difference in the ice plain has become severe, but there is no place to take refuge. Moreover, unlike my pitch-black body, the place is covered only with pure white snow, so I can't hide.

'But it doesn't matter.'

What I'm going to do from now on is make it look like I'm trying to hide myself.

–

'As expected, Morph Park is a bastard. 'You'll figure it out right away.'

Jason clicked his tongue briefly in the pure white snow. It's been a while since he's been fighting, but he's already noticed the weakness of the special he used.

The identity of the golden figure connected to his spine is a colony of parasites in the form of tiny particles.

Because the size of the organism is so small and each organism is closely connected, the entire colony appears to constitute a single entity.

It is normally stored inside Jason's body, but whenever he activates the privilege, it comes out and forms a golden shape, connected to the spinal cord as it is now.

In other words, Jason is nothing but a living nest and brain of parasitic creatures resembling golden particles. Therefore, his cognitive ability is greatly affected.

What he cannot see, the parasites cannot see, and what he does not know, the parasites also do not know.

'I can't believe you were able to catch it in such a short moment. After all, he's crazy.'

Strictly speaking, it could be said to be a weakness, but Jason wasn't too worried. He has psychic powers so powerful that he holds the position of priest in a cult empire. There are many ways to enhance cognitive abilities and senses.

Jason stood there and cast psychic techniques that strengthened his senses. Then, information about where the thing had moved came into his head one after another.

The energy of the guy that is quickly moving away, even the thought wave flying somewhere like a thin solid line. Jason checked everything without missing even the smallest piece of information.

'Break down your thoughts. Are you trying to summon a slave?'

We already know that he is a parasite and enslaves Wolff. Because I saw it through the eyes of a temple guardian.

'Now that I think about it, is that Gryphon Wolf a player?'

Considering the circumstances, there was a high possibility that it was Wolff Player, according to the message Muriel left before her death.

'Player.'

If it's a man, it's useless other than a special bonus, so kill it right away. If it's a woman…

'It's been a while since I've been a slave to Wolff.'

Jason, who decided to play around with it and kill it, leisurely followed the traces left by Moffak.

The traces he left behind were almost completely lost in the growing snow, but it didn't bother him at all. Psychic power does not fade away to something like an eye.

He chased after the guy with the 'memory site' activated, which reads the memories contained in objects.

He can't run away.

About 5 minutes passed like that. Jason stopped on a bare snowbank.

'Ha, I did something.'

When I read my last memory, I saw him standing here, digging hard in the snow.

It's not some kind of child's play; all they do is run away and hide themselves under the snow. Jason couldn't help but laugh at the guy's ugly appearance.

'But just in case.'

He activated a defensive psychic power skill such as Reflection and raised his arms high in the sky. Then the golden-shaped sword behind him expanded to tens of meters in size.

'I guess this is enough, right?'

Jason, who had grown into a figure that was easily larger than a third of the creature's body, swung his arms wide toward the snowdrift. A golden sword so large that it could be seen from the huge mountain range in the distance was also plunged into the snow.

Several fragments flew into the air along with the explosion.

Through his heightened senses, he could sense that the fragments contained pieces of flesh from the bastard's body.

Looking at the pieces on the floor, the part he had just destroyed looked like the bastard's arm. This is because huge finger joints that could easily cross at least 5 meters were lying on the snow.

'huh?'

Jason was shocked to see that the wreckage was bigger than he expected. Even if it was about 100 meters long, its fingers were not that big.

'What's so big… wait?'

Jason, who thought something was wrong, quickly stamped his feet and lifted himself up. At that moment, something huge came out from under the snowbank where he was standing.

"What the fuck?!"

For a moment, Jason thought two small mountains had grown beneath his feet. It seemed like it could easily jump tens of meters, but surprisingly, it was a mouth.

The jaw, which had been wide open on both sides below the eyes, began to close to swallow him. It's as if a bear trap hidden by leaves is activated.

I couldn't get the time right to activate the shield. Although Reflection is already being cast, it is impossible to block the enormous jaws coming from all directions.

In the end, the only way is to pull your body back. He kicked the air and fell backwards quickly.

Jason managed to escape by avoiding the narrowing jaws that looked like wall traps in an ancient tomb. However, he could not avoid it without a single injury because he had never expected a huge mouth that could easily span tens of meters. This is because one of his legs was scratched by the teeth in his mouth just before he escaped.

"Ugh!"

The horse was scratched, and each tooth was bigger than his height. Since those huge teeth grazed his leg, it would be correct to say that his leg was torn, not scratched.

"Fuck Nimmi!"

Thanks to the dragon slayer set he was wearing, his wounds healed quickly, but it didn't take away the pain. However, it had been a long time since he had felt such intense pain, so Jason let out a harsh curse.

The owner of the mouth in front of him slowly began to raise his body as if responding to an insult.

"Fuck you… uh uh uh huh?"

For a moment, I thought a solar eclipse had hit this planet, but no.

It was not the shadow of the moon, but a shadow created by some living thing.

The owner of the shadow covering the snowy plain was someone he knew well.

The creature Jason most loathes…

｢■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■!｣

A monster he does not want to face even in his nightmares.

Amorph, which was over hundreds of meters tall, roared in front of him.
