I Became an Evolving Space Monster

Inside a building in a small town near the port. A half-destroyed walker lies in front of me.

As expected, it didn’t go far. While hiding to cool down the overheated engine, I caught him.

‘If you run away, that’s where you’ll end up.’

I stretched out my small arm to my chest to pull out Number 25, who was hiding in the cockpit.

At that time, the number 25 inside came out quickly. It landed on the floor after cutting my finger with a sharp object.

“Are you going to die like this?”

A growling guy with a deep, rough voice, his appearance was very different from an ordinary human being.

The muscles of his entire body were bulging in a deformed manner, and instead of a hand, there was a bone knife reminiscent of a Japanese sword hanging under his right forearm.

‘Gene modification surgery?’

However, he did not look completely human like Akira Eugene. Just looking at his appearance, he appears to have undergone general genetic modification surgery rather than a special one.

‘Is this the final struggle? I thought he would run away, but this was surprising.’

Of course, you can’t defeat me with that much power.

I hit the floor with my two wing arms.

The floor cracks and fragments fly. I can see him moving through it. He uses the flying debris as stairs to narrow the distance between him and me.

I predicted its movement with my auxiliary organs and extended my wing arms in the direction it would come. It jumped with all its might, jumped onto the wing, and ran over the slightly folded skin.

The left head, seeing that, stretched out its neck to bite its prey. The 25th person narrowly avoided it by bending his waist to the side while running.

And as soon as it dodged the attack, it jumped onto the center’s head.

‘Are you trying to target auxiliary institutions?’

These thin tentacles under the chin are the only weak spots on Aimorph’s body. I quickly stored it inside the carapace of my jaw to avoid being cut by the bone knife.

However, the point of the knife was pointed at a different area. As soon as it landed on its snout, it stabbed me in the eye.

For Eimov, the eyes are not a very important organ. This is because there is an auxiliary organ that perceives vision, hearing, smell, etc. In fact, when using symbols of hunting, the visual organs sometimes disappear.

However, unlike my body, my mind is human. I can’t feel good when a sharp knife stabbed me in the eye.

[Zuzu (Stop!)]
“Kuok?!”

In a moment of frustration, I struck the enemy hard with my winged arm. The impact caused the knife stuck in his eye to break, and the guy went flying and fell to the ground.

‘Tsk, that’s annoying.’

With my small arm near my chest, I pulled out a piece of the bone knife stuck in the surface of my eyeball.

‘huh?’

A strange smell comes from the broken blade. There are ingredients other than my blood mixed in.

‘Does this smell feel familiar?’
“Cluck, clack, keukkeuk…cough!”

Then suddenly I heard laughter. Number 25, covered in blood, was laughing at me.

“it’s okay! “You finally caught it!”
“What do you mean?”
“That knife contains microorganisms harvested from the Gorgon Swarm! “Of course you know what that means, right?”

It’s a Gorgon Swarm. It’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time.

“okay. “By mutating the organism’s genes, we turn it into a quartz lump.”
“Tsk, those microorganisms were injected into an area close to the brain, so you are now dead.”

It’s not wrong.

The reason why the silicon-based creature Gorgon Swarm is ranked among the top in Apex is because of this ability. Since it changes from the genetic level, it cannot be restored to normal regenerative characteristics, and resistance is impossible even with resistance-related characteristics.

That’s how dangerous microorganisms entered the area close to the brain. It is understandable that he is confident of victory.

But there is one thing he doesn’t know.

“No matter how much you struggle, your eyes have already turned into minerals…”

The noisy voices gradually become quieter. The dirty face looks embarrassed instead of confident.

It’s a shame for him, but Gorgon Swarm’s microbes don’t work on me.

‘Because I ate it a while ago and specialized it.’

What was obtained in this way is the ‘Medusa organ’. The Gorgon Swarm’s microorganisms have long since taken root in me. The injured eye quickly returned to its original state.

“くそ! (Shit!)”

The guy who saw that ran out of the building in a hurry.

‘Where are you going?’

It flew its erosion tentacles towards the running target. The tentacle struck the enemy’s leg exactly like a coiled snake snatching its prey.

“evil!”

25th place, screaming and rolling around. I leisurely walked over and ripped off his two broken legs.

“Kwaaaak!”

Since its body has been strengthened through genetic modification, it does not die even if its limbs fall off. Even if it seems dangerous, just plant symbiotic spores.

“Well, I will definitely kill you! “Tear it to shreds… evil!”

It’s quite noisy to scream. He stuffed the severed leg into his mouth and removed his left arm as well. Only then did he keep his mouth shut.

‘Then should we plant parasites first?’

The parasite, having received orders, poked its head out from a small hole in the fighting arm. A black eel-like creature climbed down onto my hand and headed toward its new home.

‘After infecting them, pick them up…’

The moment I thought I had to go to the ship in orbit, the surroundings suddenly became brighter. Not just where I was, but the whole place was shining brightly.

‘Is this really possible?’

I quickly lifted my head and looked at the sky.

The dark clouds that had filled the sky just a moment ago disappeared everywhere. There was a small star floating in the smooth sky that looked like it had been laid out on blue silk.

I know what that being is.

It is the highest Apex creature on par with Red Gallagon and Vortex One, and is a higher species of Skywhale, a space whale swimming around the galaxy.

‘Arcane Orca?’
“I’m here! “It’s here!”

The 25th place, who was lying down in a state of Ottogi, shouts out in joy. As if I was expecting his appearance.

“Did you call me?”
“Kkkkk, yeah. I called. “You fucking bastard.”

It seems that 25th place attracted Arcane Orca.

‘The power of perks…oh!’

At that time, the star blinked once. As soon as I saw it, I quickly threw number 25 into my mouth. Within a few seconds, a sphere of light fell on me.

｢Pain reduction activated!｣
“Kwaaaaaaaa! “It’s hot!”

A large amount of energy burns the body. Small tentacles growing here and there were burning, and the carapace and scales underneath were turning bright red. A painful scream from 25th place was heard from inside the mouth.

The heat of energy didn’t stop at burning me. The nearby building and the nest on the ground also melted like heated ice cream.

The flame that seemed to engulf everything quickly died down. I woke up in a thick cloud of smoke.

Although his entire body was burned, the injuries were not fatal. The crushed carapace and melted tentacles had already recovered so quickly that they were visible.

After checking the condition of his body, he spit out the ranker he had kept in his mouth.

“Ugh, くそ….(Damn….)”

He also didn’t die thanks to my protection. The regenerative power gained through genetic modification was also extending his life.

‘What happened?’

Given the circumstances, the person who attracted Arcane Orca is ranked 25th. But looking at the situation, it seems like he can’t control that monster. If I hadn’t saved him, he would have been reduced to ashes.

‘Besides, Arcane Orca is a preemptive strike?’

Skywhale creatures are not aggressive except when eating or defending their territory. It is rare to first attack an opponent you have not even met directly.

‘Shall I ask?’

I immediately injected him with parasites. The completely incapacitated 25th place accepted the parasite without even a single resistance.

“Explain your perks right away.”
“My special privilege is to disguise myself as the nemesis of a certain creature and cause it to go berserk. Ugh, that guy came here because I thought he had a nemesis, ugh….” “Go
berserk? Does that mean you can’t control it?”
“Yeah, that’s right, everything.”
“You said you couldn’t defeat Arcane Orca in your current state, so you called me?”
“The original plan was to use my body as an attractant, you, ugh! The plan was to hand it over to Amov and hide. Then, you will go after Amorph first instead of me…”

From what I’ve heard, its perk seems to be the ability to lure a specific creature to a desired location. The trick is to inject a substance into the body that the creature to be induced dislikes, summon it, and force it to fight unconditionally.

Simply put, it becomes live bait.

‘So you attacked me too?’

Because I had eaten the leg of 25th place earlier, I also became a target. This may be the reason why a non-belligerent person dared to keep a check on him.

‘…If this has come to this, let’s catch it here.’

Although it arrived much earlier than expected, it was not without its drawbacks.

As long as he’s under the influence of the special, he’ll keep targeting me. It will be much easier to lure them to the place I want. There will be no need to fight or run away.

If you want to leave and save Aadhai, you must catch Arcane Orca. The sooner you hunt, the better.

‘good.’

I threw the ranker into the mouth of the left head.

This guy has a lot of uses. If you leave it somewhere else, it will be killed by Arcane Orca, so it is better to protect it myself.

Then he gave strength to his legs and jumped. As I spread my wings wide, my body rose high in the air.

At that time, the sphere flew out again and hit me. The body that had just recovered burned again.

All of Arcane Orca’s attacks in the game were impossible to avoid. This is because it is like a superluminal guided missile and will hit its target unconditionally.

It’s still the same now. Even with Eimoff’s extra senses, I feel like I can’t avoid that.

‘So I have no choice but to fill it with my body.’

I have many qualities that can protect and restore my body. That kind of check can’t kill me or stop me.

“Kwaaaaaak!”
‘Noisy.’
“Ahh…sigh!”

After quieting the noisy passengers, I accelerated while facing enemy attacks.

When the sky no longer looked blue, the target came into view. It was on the border between blue and black.

Arcane Orca, a being surrounded by a light so strong that it reminds me of the sun, awaits me.
