116 Tue-Everyone Has a Side (4)
“after…”
hot and dry air. barren and rough land.
Looking back, she sighed. The gate was gone.
The night that I returned home and came to see my mother felt like a dream.
The connection with Eve is basically one-way on the Eve side, so there was no way to know the situation on that side first.
“Because we’re like sisters, I can feel it. You can’t quite get it right.”
“Reina?”
Then someone approached her and spoke to her. Reina, who took off her mask, approached her with a faint smile as if she had been waiting.
“I’m on a mission right now…”
“I received his orders, and returned for a while to lead a new military class.”
Knowing that Reina was currently leading the Legionnaires on a mission to annihilate the only creatures in the world, the dragons, she was slightly surprised, but Reina just smiled lightly.
“Is the clothes you’re wearing ‘there’ attire? It’s strange. It’s showing a woman’s legs up to her thighs.”
“…that doesn’t matter.”
Kang Do-yeon, startled by the gaze looking up and down, transformed her body once again.
It twists from the skeleton, and internal organs repeat extinction and creation. The skin was covered with rough, tough leather and a hard black carapace, transformed into the body of a complete monster.
‘Now I feel more comfortable this way.’
As she looked down at her hand, her red eyes flashed from her darkened eyes.
The body of the corps was thoroughly designed and made for the purpose of combat and to extract maximum efficiency. At least it can’t get any better than this when it comes to moving your body.
And just yesterday, after a long time, he had transformed into a human body.
Obviously, before that, he changed into a human form and infiltrated a local city to extract information from an investigator.
At that time, returning to the human body, I felt another sense of stability.
But not yesterday. Something was awkward and uncomfortable. It was inconvenient and inefficient.
“…”
Kang Do-yeon trembled for a moment. He couldn’t believe he had such a thought.
“Ah… I know what it is.”
Reina, who approached Kang Do-yeon, who had hardened like that, smiled and whispered in her ear.
“Finally, you, too, have begun to wish for true evolution.”
“Evolution…? No. This is…”
“I understand. It’s only natural that you’re still reluctant.”
Reina smiled and hugged him from behind and wiped Kang Do-yeon’s body with her hands.
Reina touched the body that was covered with rough and hard carapace, and looked at her with an ecstatic face, as if she were touching the finest silk.
She couldn’t resist the touch.
“Obviously, you know with your head. Compared to the fragile human body, this beautiful body is perfect. Don’t be afraid. It’s a blessing and a miracle.”
Reina’s eyes twinkled openly whispering in her ear. From the moment she was reborn, Reina had already been working with her firm beliefs.
Union with the Legion is a blessing, an essential condition for the true evolution of the savage and inferior species.
That idea became even more solid as he succeeded and developed the realm of the extreme of magic, which was not achieved even in the days of human beings.
‘What am I?’
Confusion came to Kang Do-yeon’s head, who was affected by that thought.
Until now, just to become stronger, I gave up being human and fought as a monster.
Then Eve rewarded her that much, and she continued to grow stronger.
Because of that, I didn’t have time to think about what exactly I was and what kind of existence I had to be.
It was part of the confusion that he chose to kill only those who wanted to fight without touching the civilians.
“Think about it seriously. The first of the proud corps, my sister, my supervisor Kang Do-yeon.”
Even though Reina jumped out of her seat, she could hardly move and stood blankly.
“…”
“Did you think about it?”
“Aww!”
When Kang Do-yeon, who had been standing for hours, raised her head again.
She turned around, startled by the sudden voice from behind.
“Eve?!”
There stood Eve, who must have been on Earth. Not in the form of a human, but in the form of a legion with sparkling red eyes.
“how…”
“This body is just my avatar. I can be anywhere under the power of the Legion.”
“So, in any way.”
“Replicating.”
“It’s possible.”
“you also.”
“That too.”
“my.”
“Some.”
However, with a grin, Eve revealed her true identity.
At the same time, the eggs in the nest cracked, revealing various shapes.
“Unbelievable…”
Kang Do-yeon was startled to see them.
Because the faces of those who have now torn eggs naked are so familiar.
Not only himself, but his older brothers Shinwoo and Raina, the locals who ate them, etc.
They spit out each word in different voices and lined up with cold faces without any emotion.
“They’re humanoids that I made to see if they’d be needed for camouflage.”
“Hey, but it’s just the appearance of the same thing.”
“That’s right. Fundamentally, they’re just like other legionaries.”
When Eve gave the command once more, their bodies twisted wildly, transforming them into universal legionnaires out of their human form.
Kang Do-yeon noticed that their body was made of pluripotent cells just like her own.
Eve’s pluripotent cells, which have very poor energy efficiency, were unusual because they had only invested in their avatars or high-end individuals such as Kang Do-yeon and Reina.
“I’ll give you a mission, Commander. Lead them now, cross the gate and ‘infiltrate’ their world. It’s as if I’m on Earth in disguise by his side.”
“You want me to sneak in?”
“How they are responding. More than anything else, we will cross-verify the information we have obtained from Earth to determine the truth of what exactly they are and what purpose they came from.”
Eve gave Kang Do-yeon a mission. She blinked for a moment, then closed her eyes tightly and then opened them again.
When I woke up again, my eyes hadn’t moved. The mask that was created as the skin tissue changed gradually covered his face.
“After you got that information?”
“When we’ve got enough power here. We’ll flip it over in one go.”
Eve grinned as if asking something obvious.

“Everyone, back off!”
“Oh my gosh…”
“Is that magic too?”
A place where quite a few people gather and murmur.
They were all looking at the sky. New buildings were coming down ‘from the sky’ over the half-broken city.
“There are a few additional installations, but you should be able to use all the facilities.”
The man’s attire, who stood in the front and looked at him proudly, was a little different from the locals.
He clapped himself in congratulations as he saw that the heavy building that had descended from the ship fell to the ground.
“Look. We’re here to help you!”
People responded with applause and applause as well. The various policies to win the favor of the locals who suffered a major disaster in a short period of time have worked very well so far.
“That’s great. I heard you came from another world like us on that gigantic airship.”
“They said they killed all those terrible black bugs.”
The two men, tired of the evacuation life leading their families, also clapped and muttered.
Aside from everything else, the most reassuring part was the disappearance of the monsters that once gave them a terrible hell.
“Is that really true?”
“Uh?”
Then someone spoke to them. It was a woman with short black hair, standing right next to her.
As their eyes met and she smiled a little, their alertness that had risen for a moment softened slightly.
Compared to the other refugees, she seemed to be in better condition, but at first glance, she was just an ordinary woman.
“Didn’t you know because they were evacuating? The monsters’ nests disappeared completely. They said they burned them all down.”
“Ah…they are.”
She nodded. The man began to talk more about whether he was a little excited or whether he liked her reaction.
“Are they great people?”
“To be honest, it’s more powerful than magic. Wizards can’t summon such a big house.”
“Ah… But their magic seemed a little uncomfortable.”
When she made a big reaction, the men who had added one more story to it suddenly started arguing among themselves.
After watching it for a while, she raised her eyebrows and opened her mouth again.
“Then, will they continue to help us?”
“Well. That’s because high-ranking people should be able to negotiate well.”
“Our situation is not very good. How great it would be to cooperate with people from another world who brought dozens of such large steel aircraft.”
At her question, they sighed and confessed the truth.
Already, the local people’s public opinion has turned a lot. The stronger and more mysterious force that appeared in the yard where those who should be the center of gravity were already fascinated people’s hearts.
‘…I guess I’ll have to get someone involved. But is this really their purpose? Charity?’
She slipped away from them, erased her expression and escaped from the crowd.
This is a ruined city where refugees have settled.
At one time, it was one of the cities where she, Kang Do-yeon, led the legionaries and raided.
