Ep. 54

"Cough!"

The sniper who fell from the top of the container coughed up blood. His heart was pierced and he fell to the floor, but what appeared on his face was not pain but puzzlement.

He didn't understand why he became like this. He didn't know where the attack came from or who shot him.

The sniper who bothered me died without being able to answer the question until the end.

｢What happened?｣

｢…Dwayne's link has been released.｣

After confirming that the sniper was out of breath, I approached Jade.

Currently, Jade has difficulty even moving her eyes due to my neurotoxin. Therefore, he had to watch without filtering his colleague's death.

How will he accept the fact that his colleague died right in front of his eyes?

Would it be more painful than having a broken limb? Will I be consumed with revenge on my colleagues? Or is he resigned to the thought that he will soon follow suit?

'I still have a long way to go before I die.'

His suffering was not over. Because I plan to hunt down all the companions he brought with me and then kill him.

I grabbed Jade's body, redirected my vision, and went to the sniper's body.

The sniper's armor, which had been transparent before being hit by the spine, had returned to its original state.

'Is this a high-grade reinforced suit?'

There may not seem to be much difference between high-end reinforcement clothing and intermediate reinforcement clothing just by looking at their names, but in reality, there is a significant difference.

For example, if the mid-level reinforced suit has an appearance similar to clothing, the upper-level suit is closer to a type of armor suit.

The equipment the sniper was wearing was also in the form of high-tech armor.

'Looking at it, it looks like they sacrificed defense by adding multiple options.'

I'd like to take a closer look, but we're in a combat situation right now. I stopped paying attention to the reinforced suit and grabbed the body.

'The right hand will do.'

He grabbed the corpse's right hand with his fighting arm and pulled it straight. Perhaps due to Eimoff's transcendent strength, not only his hand but also his wrist was torn off.

With one hand, he held his wrist, which was leaking blood, and with the other he picked up the sniper coil gun that was lying next to the corpse.

'The fingerprint recognition device… it's here.'

Sniper coil guns do not have separate triggers. Instead, there is a fingerprint recognition device on the right side, so only registered users can use it.

'It was designed this way for security purposes.'

I put my sniper's finger on the sensor next to the coilgun. After a while, an electronic sound was heard and the coil gun light came on.

'Where should I check the bullets first?'

When I touched the terminal attached to the coil gun with my finger, a list of bullets was displayed on the screen. Only the AP bullet item on the list was glowing yellow.

'good.'

AP bullets are special bullets created by Megacorp and Star Union for anti-psychic warfare. A special substance is implanted inside the bullet that blocks the flow of psychic power, so when you are hit by this bullet, psychic power cannot be used for a certain period of time. Even if it misses, the bullet is destroyed and scatters special substances around, making it difficult to use psychic power within that range.

'No. 26 and Adhai must have had a hard time.'

I focused my attention on my back while holding the coil gun. The carapace split open, and huge wings resembling insect wings stretched out from inside. Then my wings flapped vigorously and my body soared upward.

'The second target is the cult.'

From the sky, I aimed my coil gun at the enemy in the distance.

A cult wearing a tiara can be seen behind the enemies.

I pressed the coil gun's sensor with a sniper's finger.

Is it because of the power of superpowers? Perhaps sensing an ominous premonition, the cult turned its head towards where I was flying.

When she saw me, she opened her mouth to shout something. At the same time, the coil gun was fired.

–

Recently, she often recalled memories from the past.

Actually, it wasn't a memory I really wanted to recall. It wasn't because it was a bad memory.

Every time she thought about her childhood, she also thought about the deaths of her family.

She had to watch her loved ones die in a place filled with disgusting smells.

That memory turned her family's death into a knife and stabbed her.

It was a pain that seemed like it would last forever, but at some point she began to feel less pain.

I still have nightmares sometimes, but it's better than before.

She knew what healed wounds.

New family.

The family she was unable to protect in the past is comforting her in her pain.

Of course she knows. That the children who are now by my side and those who are dead and gone are different creatures.

But I don't know why, but recently I started to get greedy.

A desire to become stronger to protect the family.

In fact, high-level thinking methods such as 'greed' and 'craving' were unfamiliar to her.

Of course, I had felt the need to protect the group before, but that feeling was closer to a kind of instinct. It's the kind of thing where you eat when you're hungry and sleep when you're sleepy.

Desires can be satisfied, but greed cannot be satisfied. Being unfulfilled leads to something better.

She could feel herself being changed by something unknown. It was more than a change.

Obsession, impatience, and desire for affection to protect the new family at all costs.

In other words, she was transcending the limitations of her race through 'emotion'.

Although she was afraid of the surprising change, she actively accepted it.

This was because she instinctively felt that emotions made her strong.

"I caught all the fucking mountain fuck rollers!"

"Let's deal with it quickly and go save Jade!"

"Geuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu any) any whatsoever whatsoever! any any whatsoever any whatsoever any any any any whatsoever]]!")

the baby animal cried out in front of her. She glared at those attacking the poor cub.

Although they looked completely different, they had a common smell.

The smell, identical to that of those who had mercilessly killed her people, made her even more uncomfortable.

Painful memories prickled her and anger fueled her strength.

"good! "I'm the last one… 100 million?!"

"frost!"

The second the battle began, her powers succeeded in capturing that smelly thing over there.

During the fight so far, her powers were not working properly. This was because waves similar to those used when talking to her favorite child were disturbing her.

The fact that those bad guys were using the means that had given her good memories also made her feel bad.

Her six tentacles all aimed at the smelly thing. The six-branched purple stem grabbed the opponent's appendage and began to pull it violently.

"Wow!"

"Fuck! Jennette you bitch! what are you doing?! "It looks like a tin can!"

"Fuck you! "Wait!"

She, who was holding the smelly object, called out to the small child. Although the younger child was much lacking compared to the older child, he was a good child who worked hard to grow.

｢Adult｣｢Support｣

The little child did not disappoint her expectations. The small child spewed out a purple power similar to hers from its mouth.

The purple force flew towards the smelly thing and cut off one of its appendages.

"Kwaaaak!"

The smelly thing with its severed appendages was spraying a foul-smelling liquid. The smell was similar yet different from the meat she had eaten many times. I never wanted to eat food that smelled that bad.

"frost!"

｢Grrrrrrr｣

"Fuck Nimmi Mountain! Jeanette!"

The bad guys became agitated when something smelly hit them. Meanwhile, the baby animal that was still alive bit down on the smelly thing with all its might.

"…If this continues, we'll all die. "Survival is more important than Operation Hope."

"What?"

"Whether Gallagon dies or not, let's kill them first."

"Wait! "I'm going to the captain, so stay calm…"

"Dwayne! I just got my arm cut off! "I tell you to stay calm and do something!"

The bad guys are muttering something. It was like that before, but muttering like that wasn't a very good sign.

"Fuck, I don't know either."

｢…I will apply immediately after checking with the captain.｣

The thing with little hair on its head took out something that looked like a blunt stick. Although it was her first time seeing it, she instinctively knew that the object was dangerous.

She tried to respond, but they were one step faster. The little furry thing attacked her with a blunt stick inside a thick cylinder.

The stick protruding from the end of the cylinder rushed towards her at high speed.

She spread purple stems like a net for defense, but it didn't work in front of the things he was shooting at. The purple stem disappeared like smoke and the stick tore through her tentacles.

"Adult!"

I almost fainted from the extreme pain, but I managed to come to my senses after hearing the small child's cry.

I tried to somehow emit the purple streak again, but was it because I couldn't concentrate due to the pain? The unknown power she possessed did not obey its master.

she recalled.

What happened when the purple power did not help her in a desperate moment?

I can't lose my family again.

A nightmare I wanted to forget has come true. That fact came upon her as a pressure.

"for a moment? He's trying to do something!"

The feeling of 'desperation' was driving her to another level. Desperation spread throughout her body and her tentacles began to change little by little.

But bad things didn't allow her to change.

"frost!"

"A masterpiece on the subject of monsters!"

Before she knew it, something that smelled like a fallen baby animal was running towards her and kicking her with its appendages. A dizzying pain struck her and the changes taking place in her body stopped.

"I'll skin you alive, you fucking monster."

"Hope! Now! Capture Gallagon!

"Got it!"

The smelly thing growled and pulled out a sharp stick. While the smelly one approached her, the hairless one aimed at the small child.

She urgently fired a wave at the small child to run away. The small child remained motionless, as if he was reluctant to run away alone.

｢Run!｣

｢Me｣｢Adult｣｢None｣｢Run｣｢Reject｣

｢Quick!｣

She fired waves as if she was screaming with all her might, and only then did the little child move. Unlike her, the small child can fly up from the ground, so he can run away without difficulty.

But bad guys crushed her expectations.

"Where are you running away from?"

The little furry thing shot out what looked like a net and entangled the small child. The little boy tried to shoot the purple force, but it was no use. This was because the strange waves coming from the net were suppressing the small child's strength.

"Let me cut off that damn tentacle first."

She thought.

He failed again. She and the little child will die here.

What is different from before is that the eldest child escaped safely from here.

A big kid who is better than her, much stronger than her, and cooler than her.

As an older child, it was clear that she would survive her death.

Thinking like that, she felt some kind of regret.

I wanted to be there for my eldest child as he grows up to be a wonderful person.

Unfortunately, that won't happen.

The smelly thing approached right in front of me and raised its sharp stick high.

"Die…huh? what?"

"Dwayne? Dwayne's link is broken!"

At the moment when death was about to happen, a miracle occurred.

"what?"

｢No way…huh? Wow!｣

"Jenette?!"

"canister! "The link is broken!"

The bad guys were muttering to each other, but the atmosphere was different from before. There was a feeling of urgency that something was wrong.

"Check Jennet…Can! Damage!"

"uh?"

And "it" fell from the sky.

"It" crushed the smelly thing and stood up.

The monster with eight appendages and a long tail was something she knew well.

A wonderful child who went from being as small as her to growing up so well.

Her favorite eldest child in the world.

[Zuzuzu Zuzuzu (It's very late, isn't it?)]

The thing she called Big Baby spoke to her.

The waves sent by the older baby seemed to be somewhat embarrassed or embarrassed.

If only she knew what feelings were.

You would have immediately recognized the identity of this feeling rising within you.

It was 'exhilarating'.
