“Dad, I’m so sick...”
“Really? Should I ask for some painkillers?”
“no. Just release this. “It hurts and I can’t breathe.”
“■■ Hey, isn’t there a teacher to take off the bandages right now? Let’s solve it tomorrow. huh?”
“Yes....”
“He’s nice. We ■■. Oh, by the way, Dad brought a fun movie? Let’s see together.”
“huh!”
“Nurse teacher. “What about Dad?”
“They said they couldn’t come today. So, let’s play with my sister.”
“today?”
“As you know, ■■ is a very busy person.”
“huh.”
“mom?”
“I brought our cutie’s favorite pizza, right? Shall we eat together?”
“huh.”
“Oh, don’t worry about the camera. Because it’s no big deal. Oh my, this looks delicious. right?”
“huh.”
“When on earth was that broadcast filmed?”
“What does it matter to you?”
“Are you crazy? “What on earth are you doing with a child?”
“And you? “I was only interested at first and didn’t even come to visit.”
“Huh, I’m busy too. “I can’t be in and out of the hospital every day.”
“Well, I guess you would say that with the amount of money you earn.”
“her. “I don’t think that’s what a woman who sells her child because she can’t even make that little money would say.”
“what? Who would say something like that for selling out their child? “What kind of heart do I have...”
If I hadn’t been sick, this wouldn’t have happened.
If I hadn’t gotten in the car with my dad that day, none of this would have happened.
I....
–
An auxiliary organ under the chin caught something foreign. The body that had been in a light sleep gradually woke up. As my senses returned to my body, I felt the scorching heat of the lava again.
Is it because I was immersed in boiling magma for a long time? While I was asleep for a moment, I had a dream.
‘It’s a boring memory.’
When I was young, I had an accident and was hospitalized for a long time. This is because more than half of his body was burned and he had to receive multiple treatments.
‘I never thought I would fall asleep in a lava lake.’
It got better after I became an adult, but before that, I had a hard time because of the trauma of the accident. It’s so bad that when watching a movie, just seeing the scene of lighting a fire with a lighter was enough to make my body stiffen.
‘If becoming an Amorph makes you feel better, it’s definitely an advantage.’
A strong body also heals my mental pain.
As I was thinking that, a wave flew out of my mouth.
「Big baby, are you okay?」
[Zuzu (Huh?)]
「Are you not feeling well?」
It was a wave sent by No. 26 inside the mouth of the central head. I guess he felt my emotions while I was dreaming.
[Zuzzu zuzuzuzu (I’m better now)]
「Really?」
「Fever」「I feel」「Not good」
[Zuzuz zu zuzu zuzuzu (Don’t worry. I’ll be out soon)]
After reassuring the worried kids, I opened my eyes.
The atmosphere that had been peaceful until I jumped into the lake was now completely disrupted.
The Vulkaroxes were torn to shreds and scattered around, and the Stoners seemed to have all run away. The Lavalaptors that were diving at the edge of the lake with only their tails out were in the same situation as Vulkarox.
And the person who turned the lake into a scene of massacre is there.
The monster was about 11 meters tall, and its body was covered in red scales. There is a row of sharp bone plates on the back, and two additional elongated arms are attached to the shoulder blades. Although it had four arms, its body shape itself was like that of a human or ape, with its back straightened and walking on two legs.
That monster that looks like a burning giant is the Pyromancer, a vicious predator.
The one with his back to the center of the lake was holding a Lavalaptor with four arms.
“Ki, kiik!”
The Lavalaptor resisted by swinging its tail, but it didn’t back down at all.
Instead of retreating, its four arms swelled up. Then, blood poured out of the Lavalaptor’s body and it split in half.
“Tsueuu, Tsuaaaa.”
The Pyromancer, who tore a monster half of his body to death, let out a strange cry. Intoxicated with victory, he started devouring the loot.
‘It’s an opportunity.’
I slowly approached the creature, crawling through the lava lake.
Like most creatures living on volcanic planets, Pyromancers also have very hard scales. It cannot be injured by normal attacks.
‘Besides, he has some annoying abilities.’
As the name suggests, Pyromancers have two special abilities reminiscent of fire.
One of them is a very strong recovery ability.
Its resilience is such that it can heal wounds large enough to cause death in an instant.
‘Even if only the hair remains, it can be regenerated within minutes.’
In return, a huge amount of energy is consumed, but if you look at it another way, it means that you don’t have to worry about death as long as you have energy. Because they know this, they keep eating food to store energy in their bodies. It’s like trying to keep a fire going by adding firewood.
If you don’t kill it in one go, it will constantly come back to life, so the strategy for attacking it is rather standardized.
Either use very strong firepower and kill him in one hit, or...
‘Either stop him from recovering.’
I submerged my entire body into the magma and pulled out the erosion tentacles from my back. Long, thick tentacles hidden inside the thick armor came out and approached the creature.
The guy was so caught up in eating that he didn’t notice what was behind him.
A purple protective shield connected to the tentacles of the creature hiding under the black ash protruded from beneath its feet. The lower part of his calf that touched the shield was instantly destroyed.
While the guy lost his leg and was floating in the air for a moment, Isabel flew towards him. Just like before, Isabel wrapped him around him. The difference is that the guy’s arms are holding onto the Pyromancer’s bone plates.
A metallic sound came from Isabelle’s arm, the bone plate cracked, and intense steam came out. The organ that converts energy into heat was damaged, and the white color immediately drained from its arms.
And finally, Aadhai flew into the guy wearing red armor. The target of its blood-red paws is the enemy’s head.
Sensing that he could not escape because he was tied to Isabel, he took drastic measures. Just tearing off the head and part of the upper body.
「What is it?」
“Tsuaaak!”
It tore off part of its torso and threw it at Aadhai. During the short time it was flying, the guy who had regenerated part of his body got on top of it.
「You」「Disgusting!」
While Aadhai was twisting his body to throw the guy off, the guy’s arm turned white.
At that time, his body was pushed by something invisible and fell to the ground.
「You can’t bully a little baby!」
“Tsuak!”
After briefly expressing his anger, the Pyromancer immediately turned his back and started running in the opposite direction. They are not running away, but trying to replenish their energy with other food.
‘Where.’
I strengthened my legs and kicked the ground. Even without spreading my wings, my body rose high.
“Tsuaaaaak!”
The guy running is startled when he sees a shadow falling over his head. I tried to crush him like this, but he rolled to the side and avoided it.
As soon as I landed, I swung my tail at the guy. The guy who was hastily stuffing a nearby corpse into his mouth saw the two-pronged tail coming towards him and immediately responded.
The white arm collides with my clawed tail. He’s been the guy who’s been cutting off my carapace like a radish, but not this time.
Considering my size, the size of the tongs is enormous. No matter how big of a guy’s arm it is, it’s impossible to cut it off all at once.
While the pincer was sacrificially squeezing the creature, the erosion tentacle was targeting the creature. The sharp appendage stuck into the guy’s shoulder, just like the other tentacle did earlier.
“Tsu, tsuaa!”
Since I wasn’t the only one here, he gave up his weapon. The guy who cut off his own arm quickly widened the distance.
“Tsuaaaaak!”
Although he had been fatally wounded several times in less than a few minutes, he was no different from when we first encountered him. It was truly a wonderful recovery.
That guy probably knows that too, so he roars proudly.
‘Well, I wonder what it will be like.’
This is the third time. The number of times the eroding tentacle’s appendages injected ‘something’ into its body.
“Tsuaa, evil?”
The thing stops moving. The guy who sensed an abnormality occurring in his body tilts his head.
However, it is too late to realize this now.
“Tsu, Tsutsu?!”
The guy looks at his crystallized shoulder and becomes embarrassed. I swung my other arm and broke the scales on my shoulder, but it was no use.
Because the silicon-based microorganisms I injected have already spread throughout his body.
“Is that by any chance?”
[Zuz zuzu zuzu zuzu zuzu (what you think is right)]
A trait named after a mythical monster that turns anyone who looks at it into stone.
The ‘Medusa organ’, the only characteristic of the environmental adaptation series, was turning the Pyromancer into a piece of quartz.
“Twaaagh?! Tsuaaaaak!”
The guy struggled, breaking the parts of his body that were turning into a crystal-like substance.
If the back of the neck was first attacked and then the shoulder was stabbed, if those areas had been cut out, this wouldn’t have happened. It is useless to remove the contaminated area before the microorganisms in Medusa’s organ spread.
One guy didn’t know that, and even left that part behind to regenerate the rest of his body. Thanks to this, microorganisms were able to quickly spread throughout the body.
Now, its transcendental regenerative power is practically neutralized. In a situation where its regenerative power and the Medusa organ are walking a tightrope, it will not be able to regenerate its body hastily.
[Zuzu zuzuzu zuzu zuzu zuzuzu zuzuzu zuzu (Do you think I came to catch you without thinking?)]
A pyromancer with the body of an ideal hunter.
The Apex creature that had once been so confident was no longer there. The thing in front of me was just scared prey.
As always, it was never difficult to kill prey that had lost its will to fight.
A word from the author (author review) Please take care of zakuti.
「Medusa Organ: Silicon-based microorganisms are injected into the target to mutate their genes. Beings with mutated genes crystallize in stages over time.
