28 Tue – What He Really Wants (4)
Read from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Monsters crawling up from the lower floors invaded the peaceful ecosystem as always.The cavity where mushrooms had formed the forest quickly became a battlefield.
The gathered guardian spirits fought against the invaders of this lower level with all their might.
[The main force of the new corps newly established by the corps is an orc-based all-round force]
“If they were Orcs before they became units, they look stronger now.”
[Of course, there is no physical comparison. Containing the essence of the Legion, all ineffective parts have been cut out and converted only for combat]
Standing with their backs straight and walking upright, they were about 2 m tall, and their whole body was armed with compression-type muscles only to generate explosive power.
The existing Orc, which became the base, also boasted excellent muscularity and excellent physical strength, but of course the appearance was different from the beginning.
It was a body that could be said to be rather thin by removing all useless internal organs, but because of that, it was more flexible and resilient.
[The carapace armed all over the body is also made by combining the strongest carapace such as cave turtle, earth dragon scale, and giant beetle]
The black armor that was wrapped around his body gleamed.
The overall shape was similar to that of the existing goblin base, but as the size increased and the amount of muscle it contained increased, its power more than doubled.
[The biggest advantage of all-round soldiers is that they can easily prepare for any type of attack that the opponent is attacking]
A legionary with swords in both hands collided head-on toward the giant wolf, which spewed fire from its three heads that flashed in their eyes.
Although it was structurally unfavorable, it stopped at the line of being pushed around.
This is possible because the Legionnaires are not just living things, but a meticulously designed weapon.
“Aww…”
Blocking his sharp teeth, this all-round legionnaire pulled out a pair of arms from between the ragged back carapaces.
At the same time, he pierced the neck of the guardian spirit, who had been defenseless to block both hands, with his sharpened claws.
[The next all-round type is the assault type. Most of those belonging to this form are in the form of beasts]
The biggest advantage of the corps is that completely different types of soldiers move and attack with precision without any gaps.
A large quadrupedal beast ran wildly next to the all-round legionnaire who cut off the head of the attacking guardian spirit and attacked another guardian spirit.
They are similar in that they are armed with solid armor, but they have strong forelimbs and strong jaws.
Even a large opponent could not withstand the attack of several animals clinging to each other and biting them, and they collapsed one by one.
“It’s over… In the beginning, we had a lot of numbers.”
[I can’t be careless. Obviously, the creatures of this guardian spirit category, their fighting power is beyond imagination]
“Anyway, it’s impossible to compete in terms of productivity.”
I’m just calculating it for efficiency and maintenance cost.
A corps can draw more troops than it is now at one time.
Obviously, the guardian spirits endured well.
He persisted, and defeated numerous legionnaires, rendering them incapable of combat.
But that was all.
No matter how close they died, the corps did not stop and continued to advance.
With only one thought to kill.
The guardian spirits were being crushed by the absurd, deep murderous intent.
[As they were pushed out of the mushroom forest, the artillery-type Legionaries began to open fire. Victory has already fallen]
The new legionnaires, who deviated from the original form of modified toads, anchored themselves to the ground with strong legs, and aimed at the dorsal spines that ripped through the flesh.
As the size increased, the size of the thorns also increased, and the power to be ejected increased exponentially.
[Poison thorns that crossed the air started pouring down on them. It cannot be stopped by soft fur.]
“The wire… is pushed.”
The guardian spirits were gradually pushed back.
The black wave expanded its power that much.
[Are you finally leaving?]
But at that moment, the guardian spirits also pulled out a hidden tile.
powerful lightning. No, something that looked like a lightning bolt exploded and filled the phone screen.
I frowned.
Fortunately, the snowball didn’t last long.
“Is it really electric?!”
[The Legion does not know this level of knowledge about electricity. But it’s a power I’ve never experienced before, just like when I first encountered acid or fire.]
It was the moth that the Legion had captured for its purpose.
Dozens of legionnaires fell in one blow.
However, it didn’t look like it had been burned to death by electricity.
[I’m greedy]
“Yeah, of course.”
As before, the Legion was greedy.
Indiscriminate gluttony is one of the greatest forces of the Legion.
The flying species that had been waiting in advance spread their wings all at once.
[The most outstanding air combat ability possessed by the Legion. I added a reinterpretation of the Legion to its abilities brought from the birds of the Earth.]
Its shape resembled a bee with feathered wings.
Hundreds of such flying species attacked him at once.
[Once again, a flash of light exploded, and this time, dozens of people died. I found a sense of incompatibility with the two experiences. When it is attacked, an unknown special action occurs, all connections between entities are cut off, and the consciousness of the colony is extinguished]
“Hive consciousness…!”
[The more you look, the more you must acquire]
The corps dispatched a second force.
In the end, it was a battle of attrition that ended only when one side was exhausted.
And such a war of attrition was one of the things the corps was confident about.
[Have you lost the strength and will to resist anymore? Then it is our victory]
The moth could no longer emit blue flashes.
Before the moth could escape, the large flying species with their mouths wide open all at once blew out flames like flamethrowers.
“How long will the analysis take?”
[At least one day is needed]
The legion was victorious.
He also hunted the moth that looked like a captain, and killed all the guardian spirits that resisted.
All that was left was to analyze the loot.
“Whoa…”
I put down my phone, which I had been watching for hours, and sighed.
I thought I was going to win, but the tension I was holding on to was released.
“The more I look at it, the weirder it gets. What the hell is that cave? Is it natural?”
[I don’t know that yet]
“There’s still a lot left.”
The tension was released, and my mind was still complicated.
Still, there are many things to be concerned about in reality, but the world that is gradually expanding was also a problem.
There seems to be something, but it is clear.
“No. What’s the point of this?”
So serious, I shook my head.
There was only one way anyway.
No matter what secrets and stories there were in the world, in the end, there was only one ending.
It was an ending that ate us all.
Otherwise, it means we will die.
[Now I can think like a legion]
“I’m not very happy with your compliments.”
I snorted helplessly and left the room.
Outside, my brother and mother were watching the news with serious expressions on their faces.
It’s been a while since I heard good news in the news.
Perhaps it will be in the future.
“Evolution, to which Ji-yeon Cha belongs… This time, they said they would cross the gate in alliance with governments of each country. They said they succeeded in securing gate-related technology that had not been properly researched.
“…okay?”
As soon as he saw me, Kang Do-yeon approached me and whispered.
It wasn’t particularly surprising.
Cha Ji-yeon is a unit, and her player is a skilled being with excellent skills.
Because it was almost certain to move no matter what I used.
“Let’s be more careful for the time being.”
The only thing I was worried about was the safety of my family.
The anxiety that has been bothering me since the day I lost my father 10 years ago has evolved from a vague worry and is now gradually realizing.
*
[String. It is the string that connects the unit and the player]
A nest where silence flows.
It was all the movement of the six walls that squirmed occasionally.
However, unlike the silence, the inside of the corps was moving more violently than ever.
[Certainly, we are somewhat close to the answer. The power possessed by the Great Stem Guardian Spirit 4n1236, which was absorbed and disassembled this time, is not the same as the fragment of the last time it was absorbed, but it had a similar appearance]
All the computing power of the corps was wasted in learning new concepts.
It was such a shocking result, but the Legion accepted it as it had so far and succeeded in making it their own.
[This…will be recorded in our history. This is the moment when our corps first approached the soul.]
“…”
The whole corps throbbed.
All the corps, who temporarily stopped their actions, fell into a state of shock for a moment by this thrilling sensation.
The world, the senses, and common sense have expanded.
[It feels clear to me too. I have a clearer doubt about who we are, who he is. Strings are abnormally strengthened compared to other units and players. We are many and one. It is different from other units where the string connected to the player is divided into hundreds of thousands of branches for each entity. We are connected with him by only one string]
I got the trigger from the ghost piece and the hint from the guardian spirit.
With that, the Legion concluded.
The connection of these souls that I am feeling now has to do with their origins.
It was a kind of rope that could satisfy their hunger for knowledge.
[Unfamiliar emotions and strange feelings are flowing through the string. This is obviously his feelings and inclinations. don’t you feel it We are very close to him now]
The corps began to move again.
However, the inside was a little different from before.
