I Became an Evolving Space Monster Chapter 76

Ep. 76

–

Templar Defense Force and monsters.

A fierce battle is taking place between three beings in the ruins of a collapsed sewer.

“Deputy leader! “I can’t hold on any longer!”

“We must retreat… evil!”

Every time the knights fired a plasma bolter, one soldier died. This side was also responding with a plasma launcher, but it was no use.

This is because the launcher has a charging time, so it is difficult to perform properly in a melee that takes place at a mid-distance like now.

It is a launcher that was initially brought with it to be used as a support weapon when fighting monsters.

I never dreamed of fighting the knights.

‘Why are the Knights following us?’

The crisis management team leader did not understand at all.

What’s wrong with the knights that they attack them?

The atmosphere was good before entering the sewer, and there were no major problems when entering and conducting a search.

The vice-captain of the knights was a person who knew manners, and the members were also well-disciplined.

‘It’s not a rebellion. It’s clearly an order from above.’

Vice-Captain Vickers said this a while ago.

You shouldn’t hand him over. That means they must be captured alive.

‘There’s something about the monster that we don’t know.’

Even in the middle of the battlefield, where his subordinates’ screaming bullets and plasma energy split the air, the deputy team leader’s thoughts continued.

‘The place where the monster first occurred was an apartment complex. At that time, I fought with the armed police and ran away. After that, the place he went to was the port district.’

There the monster killed the smugglers and escaped.

The port district police officer who discovered this was hospitalized and then…

‘The knights went there. oh my god. ‘It was destruction of evidence!’

The assistant team leader finally felt like his mind was becoming clearer.

‘It’s a biological weapon secretly created by the Edgerton family!’

I don’t know why, but the Edgerton family chose this special trade center as the location for the experimental subject’s mock battle.

‘It’s probably because it’s a monster created with street fighting in mind.’

Since the armed police were wiped out in the apartment complex, it can be said that the experiment was a success.

The people who appeared next were smugglers.

They must have been secretly hired by the Edgerton family to get this guy out.

‘They probably tried to anesthetize the monster and then move it.’

However, the operation failed and the scene was discovered by police detectives investigating a smuggler case in the port district.

There, the Edgerton family dispatched a group of knights under the pretext of protecting their old acquaintance.

‘Because I can’t leave the witness alive.’

The assistant team leader felt a shiver run down his spine.

Such a huge scheme and conspiracy was going on in a place he didn’t know about.

Doesn’t it seem like something out of a novel?

‘…I have to report this to the general manager.’

However, the current situation is not suitable for that.

He must hold out until communications are normalized before he has a chance to report this important discovery.

‘Is there some way?’

Most of his men were killed, so not much was left.

Only one soldier in charge of the launcher survived, holding the launcher fixed to the ground and continuing to focus on shooting.

A clearly unfavorable situation.

It was a completely unexpected person who reached out to him as he was wondering how to survive.

“Deputy leader! “The monster is only attacking the Templars!”

“what?”

“Look over there!”

The assistant team leader’s eyes followed the tips of his subordinate’s fingers.

What the subordinate said was true.

A monster with a long tail and multiple legs was slaughtering the knights.

–

‘Let’s go to the administrative district.’

It cannot be denied that Edgerton warships are also an attractive option.

Currently, this is where elite troops from top capitals gather ahead of the board of directors meeting.

Getting out before they try for my life is not a bad option.

Nevertheless, the reason why administrative districts were chosen was because it was judged to be advantageous in three aspects.

‘First you have to catch the cult to evolve.’

Currently, I have barely fulfilled the cult part of the conditions for evolving into a semi-adult.

If evolution itself is impossible, there is a limit no matter how many genes there are.

‘Genetic essence can be obtained sufficiently even in administrative districts.’

On the other hand, it is currently unknown whether or not a cult member was aboard Edgerton’s warship.

Seeing as they didn’t mobilize a cult to join the Knights when they captured me, it’s probably fair to assume that there isn’t a cult.

‘And once we board the warship, we can’t take the kids with us.’

No. 26 and Aadhai.

Although both have benefited me, they have never caused me any harm.

If you ask me whether there is any merit to abandoning them and riding on a warship, I can answer no.

‘In Aadhai’s case, there was a contract.’

In exchange for saving and protecting him, I promised to receive guidance on where Gallagon’s nest was.

If I break up here, I have nothing to gain.

And last.

‘T&C has less information about me than Edgerton.’

In the search of the sewer, Edgerton and TNC are working together, but in fact, the information gap between the two is quite large.

You can tell by looking at the armament of those who entered the sewer.

Edgerton brought weapons that were sufficient to subdue me.

The plasma bolter and blade claw are weapons that can pierce my outer shell, and I am also equipped with an assault pack in case of close combat.

‘Plus, I brought an additional launcher.’

The launcher is a weapon that can cause significant damage to other parts of the body except the head, which is the hardest part of the body.

Like this, the Knights tried their best to capture me alive.

‘On the other hand, not the National Guard.’

They also brought a launcher, but this is only a platoon-level support weapon, and other than that, the other equipment is not much different from the equipment worn by armed police during battles in apartment complexes.

‘The Knights did not share information.’

They probably did it for their own benefit.

In any case, thanks to the information control of the Knights, it is safe to say that the leaders of the special trade center know very little about me.

There is no doubt that the special trade center sees me as a threat, but they do not know how dangerous I actually am.

The more my enemies don’t know, the more I can do.

So it is to my advantage to hide out here in the administrative district.

‘I’ve made up my mind…’

Now all that’s left is action.

I rushed at the knights attacking the National Guard.

A knight who has just killed a soldier with his blade claw is raising his bolter and aiming it at another soldier.

I attacked him from behind and knocked him down.

“100 million?”

The knight fell defenseless, as if he had not expected the attack at all.

I held him down with my fighting arms so he couldn’t stand up, then bit his head with my mouth.

“Help me too…!”

The knight struggled in the water, but his resistance was useless as his fighting arms held him firmly in place, preventing him from rising.

I chewed his head off whole.

The helmet was crushed, and the knight’s brain came out through it.

After sucking up the stuff that flowed from the knight’s head, I left the corpse and jumped on new prey.

“shit! Catch him!”

When I, who was in the rear, suddenly hit the back of the head of the knight in front, Vickers shouted in anger.

I swung my tail towards the knights surrounding me.

The sharp thorn hairs rising from the end of the tail flew toward the knights.

They quickly raised their psychic shields.

The shield, which gained physical defense by extremely concentrating psychic power, neutralized my thorn hair.

The knight’s bolter, blocking the thorn hair, is heading towards my head.

Just before the bolter was fired, a penetrating bullet flew out and pierced his head.

“Damn National Guard!”

Just as Vickers had shouted, the National Guard was firing Gauss rifles at the knights.

Of course, they are not only shooting at the knights, but they are also shooting at me.

“Four people take charge of the National Guard, and the rest deal with the monsters!”

‘I can’t leave it like that.’

The person who will ‘kill’ me must be the National Guard. To do that, at least two or three people need to remain.

I pulled out a vampire tentacle from the right shoulder side of my fighting arm and swung it.

A red tentacle struck the head of one of the four knights. With an eerie sound, the knight with a broken neck fell to the ground.

“dare!”

One of the knights shouted at the death of his comrade and fired a bolter at me.

I quickly raised my head and blocked the plasma bullet from the bolter.

The outer covering of the head is the hardest part of my body. As the energy bullet collided, I felt a sharp pain in my head and neck, but I was still able to endure it.

‘Still, it’s dangerous if you get hit more than twice in a row.’

Even if it’s true that you can endure it, it doesn’t mean it doesn’t matter.

In order to reduce the area of attack, I crouched down in the water that reached up to the knights’ waists.

As he moved quickly using his four fighting arms and legs, the knights began to panic.

“Where did he go?”

The water level was low, so my back was clearly exposed to the surface.

However, it won’t be easy to make out my appearance because there is collapsed debris floating on the water.

“It’s over there!

One of the knights, trying to avenge his colleague’s grudge, turned on his eyes and searched around and found me.

He aimed his bolter at me.

“You fucking bastard…!”

“You idiot! damage!”

Vickers freaked out and called him, but it was already too late.

The plasma beam from the National Guard obliterated Bolter and his arm at once.

“Ahh!”

The price of ignoring the National Guard to catch me alone was high. The knight cried out, holding on to the arm that had disappeared along with the armor.

“Get that idiot back now!”

You can’t miss this great opportunity.

My arm fell off and I threw thorns at the panicked knight.

A thorn hair full of neurotoxin got stuck exactly where the arm was amputated.

As the screaming knight fell limp, the colleague who was supporting him was embarrassed.

I lunged at them and pierced them both at the same time with the horns on my head.

“Hehehe! “You monster!”

Even though the ship was pierced, the knight did not give up. He swung his blade claws and cut off part of the outer covering that covered my head.

‘I’m glad it’s a shell with little sense.’

If the monster’s tentacles were cut off, it would have hurt quite a bit.

‘It’s useless to resist.’

I shook my head wildly, still hanging on to him by the horns.

The knight groaned as the horn lodged in his stomach tore through his internal organs. His arm, which was trying to hit the top of my head, lost strength and went down.

“die!”

Another driver is aiming behind me.

I turned my head to match the plasma bullet he fired.

Naturally, the knight skewered by my head horns became a meat shield for me.

The sound of leather bursting followed by the acrid smell of burning meat stimulated my auxiliary organs.

“Avoid friendly fire! “Friendly fire is…sigh!”

“Vice-captain!”

Vickers, who was commanding with a harsh tone, was hit by a penetrating bullet and grabbed his shoulder.

The knights began to rapidly become agitated at the sight of their commander being injured.

After my surprise attack began, the situation of the war turned rapidly.

“good! “With the vice-captain injured, now is our chance!”

The National Guard was pressuring the Knights with momentum.

The soldiers standing at the front fired indiscriminately in the direction where the knights and I were, creating a fire net, while the soldiers at the rear moved the wounded and reorganized the battle line.

On the other hand, the knights’ battle line completely collapsed because of me.

Most of those dealing with the National Guard were unable to act due to my attack and the National Guard’s fire, and the other knights seemed confused about who to attack first.

In that situation, the commander was also injured, so the unfavorable situation for them accelerated.

“The operation is a failure! “Everyone retreat!”

Eventually, the word retreat came out of Vickers’ mouth as he was being supported by his subordinates.

‘Should I let him run away?’

Even if the relationship between the two families deteriorated rapidly because of me, there is a high possibility that they will maintain a cooperative relationship for a while because of the board of directors.

If I start hunting again after I go to the administrative district, I might run into them.

‘Because you never know what’s going on in the world.’

It would be best to reduce anxiety factors as much as possible.

I attacked them as they retreated and eliminated them one by one.

Not only I but also the National Guard followed the fleeing knights, as if they had decided to annihilate the knights on this spot.

“Deputy leader! “What do you do with that monster?”

“Piercing bullets are useless, so fire the launcher!”

As I was slitting the throat of one of the knights, I heard the voices of the National Guard.

‘Is it time to camouflage?’

I checked the number of remaining articles.

There are a total of 6 people running away, including Vickers.

There are still dozens of people left in the National Guard. They should be able to handle it without me.

‘Let’s stop here.’

I didn’t want anyone to suspect that I had been hit intentionally, so I grabbed the knight’s body and shook it violently.

Like an animal showing off its prey.

The National Guard, seeing this as an opportunity, fired the launcher.

Green light cuts through the water and flies towards me.

I was already using my auxiliary organs to figure out how the enemy’s attacks would come.

I straightened my head to align with the beam’s trajectory.

The beam, which could easily pierce the outer wall of the ship, collided with the shell of my head.

‘Pfft!’

The force was stronger than I expected and I took a few steps back without realizing it.

The thick outer shell absorbed most of the force, but the shock it could not absorb spread throughout my body.

Unable to withstand the impact, the outer skin of my neck and legs burst and blood gushed out from the inside.

‘…I can still hold on.’

My whole body was covered in blood in an instant, but I have regenerative properties. If only the brain in the head is not destroyed, an injury of this magnitude will heal quickly.

‘Activate the suspended state.’

I pretended to fall down after being hit by a beam and activated the ‘suspended state’ feature.

At that moment, all the strength left my body.

My body went out of control and fell into the sewer passage of its own accord.

The auxiliary organ under the chin, which had always been a source of support, sagging with complete loss of sensation.

I couldn’t see anything and I couldn’t hear anything.

The only sensation I felt was the chilling cold.

death.

It felt so real that I wondered if something was wrong.

‘It feels like this. But something feels familiar…’

For some reason, the feeling of déjà vu disappeared along with my scattered mind.

That’s how I died.
