48 Tue – Corps VS Corps (2)
“…he’s afraid.”
“Yeah. I feel it too.”
“And I feel a deep resentment.”
“Since that day, my brother hates and hates demons. Because he destroyed our family.”
“dare…”
anger boiled over.
It is not an emotion that comes from outside. The intense anger felt by the Legion itself.
The whole corps was agitated.
“Calm down. My brother has crossed the gate now, and we have other work to do.”
Gang Do-yeon stepped in and comforted the corps.
The legion soon regained its sanity.
Kang Do-yeon herself knew that this was what the corps wanted from her.
“That’s right. To meet him… we need to get out of here as soon as possible.”
“Oh, we’re meeting? How about we meet?”
“…I don’t know.”
The Legion frowned.
There are still quite a few cases like this.
A phenomenon in which one’s reason and emotions do not catch up with each other and do not understand each other even though they are clearly aware of it.
Now that the Legion had acquired some knowledge, they knew what was causing this phenomenon.
It was because he lacked experience and lacked self-esteem compared to the knowledge he had accumulated and the computational power he could mobilize.
“It’s not that efficient.”
From the legion’s point of view, it was to suffer inefficiency because of the needlessly created ego.
Sub-minds like Kang Do-yeon are trying to reduce it.
However, Kang Do-yeon, who is more ‘adult’ than the corps, was still only a 17-year-old girl who was still mentally immature.
[The scouts continue to be intercepted. Also, it was clear that they had advanced intelligence and a network of contacts.]
“You know what’s going on? Go and deal with them.”
“…Okay.”
The Legion shifted its mind and concentrated its consciousness elsewhere.
He now jumps on a limb for himself.
So, he had to see the results himself.
“Ugh…”
In the dark passageway, a mournful yet creepy cry rang out.
The legion’s scouts spread all over the place, seeing with their eyes and hearing with their ears.
[It is different from the usual bactericidal infection. Its appearance and behavior are different from the data]
Destroying Bacteria Infectants who start encountering one by one on the 40th floor or higher.
But all of them were strange.
Obviously, they were the ones who infected the living creatures in the cave, including the moonlight fairies, so it was all about having an excessive tumor or a part of the body that was deformed.
“What is this…”
But they were different.
It’s obviously based on a moonlight fairy, but something that looks like a head is attached to her chest, or her limbs have been turned into bizarre hooks, etc.
The degree of mutation was about to damage the original shape.
[Obviously, those words came out of the prisoner’s mouth. Infectious objects upstairs were so bizarre and dangerous that our ancestors told us to avoid them.]
Despite their disgusting appearance, they were more aggressive than the other Infected Infects.
It sensed the movement of the scouts and ate them in various ways, such as stretching out their tentacles or waving their hands.
[Able to know. Those unusual strains of sterilization are trying to manipulate the Legion’s genetic information through the scouts they have eaten now. It was the moment when the Legion first met an opponent capable of manipulating genetic information.]
‘dare.’
The legion was, of course, enraged.
If nothing else, genetic manipulation and analysis was one of the pride of the Legion.
It is the Legion that devours the savage and imperfect things, analyzes and combines them to develop.
Now, that strain of sterilization was nothing but a challenge against the Legion.
“Kill me.”
Kang Do-yeon clenched his teeth.
The mask didn’t come out. Now she has grown to some extent, and she knows it well.
drew his sword
A power engine embedded in his heart radiated energy.
heart, arms and legs.
There are a whopping five power engines of the corps embedded in her body.
With strength unmatched by any other Legionnaire who has one in his heart, she smashed the ground and spurted.
“That… ah… ah ah ah ah!”
[Recognizing their approach, they let out a horrendous scream from the organ presumed to be the mouth dotted with the Infected, and then rushed in, wielding large claws.]
In the end, Kang Do-yeon, who was agitated by the creepy and bizarre appearance, was covered with a mask about half of her face.
At the same time, energy was emitted in the form of a slash from the sword that exploded dark red energy.
“OMG…”
Kang Do-yeon stumbled from her seat.
It was a blow that he spit, but he didn’t know it would be like this.
Because this was the first battle using a power engine, there was no data for the corps either.
The slashing slashes only subsided after cutting the infected object with a size of 2m or more in half and making a large cut to the bottom of more than a dozen meters.
“Ginger.”
However, the infected did not die immediately.
Even though her body was split in half, she came to attack her, even if she somehow got up or crawled.
[Other Infectants heard the sound and began to flock. But it’s also somewhat foreign]
The joint, not the whole neighborhood, was vibrating.
Kang Do-yeon slashed the enemy wielding claws while crawling on the ground once again.
As a result, it became minced meat, but it was difficult to see that it had completely stopped breathing.
[The Legion decided to learn more about them]
Soon, the mutant infectious agents, screaming and running like crazy, began to flock in.
The Legion also sent troops to fight him.
After all, I’m used to the war with infectious agents now.
“What?!”
She turned her head to avoid something that had flew in an instant.
What was shot was a bone thorn like a large poison sting.
The enraged corps also began to bombard the poison stingers.
‘…maybe not easy.’
Gang Do-yeon, as well as the entire corps, had an intuition.
The enemies that are swarming like that now may be stronger than any enemies I’ve ever met.
The Legion sprinted forward and rushed towards the Infected.
In the first collision without slowing down, Kang Ji-yeon fired a slash forward once again.
[Elite legionaries raised their output]
Still, the corps had already completed another leap forward.
[Resonance and Amplification. This is the ability we got from the gods of the moonlight fairies]
All of a sudden, dark red energy condensed in front of the body of the legionaries running at the front, including Gang Do-yeon, who covered their entire face with a mask, and became a shield.
[The Moonlight Fairies, the oldest enemies of the Destroyer. I subdue them with their last legacy]
“Knock…”
“Keek!”
Infected objects that collided with the energy force field with a bang received the same amount of shock and were thrown away.
stings and acid, etc.
The various and terrible means of attack possessed by the Infectious Bacteria of Sacrifice could not penetrate this energy force field.
However, the attacks of the legionaries attacking inside the station were locked in them.
Black waves of various configurations and sizes began to push back after some hesitation.
[Its aggression and ability cannot be compared with existing destructive bacteria]
In the middle of the nest, while the soldiers of the Legion continued the battle.
The Legion continued to carry fragments of the Battlefield-produced Bacillus Infestation to the nest, using some of the small and medium-sized troops that crawl on the floor.
“The cheeky bastards who dared to transform the Legion into a part of them and devour it.”
At the same time, it was the nutrient of the corps, and it was the subject of analysis and finding out.
Besides, he was now mixed with strange anger.
“Dissolve, digest.”
The swarm’s tentacles mercilessly slashed at the wriggling flesh.
The mucus secreted from the tentacles is the legion’s digestive juice.
Numerous cells encased in the mucus weakened the subject and began to disintegrate into cell units.
Usually, at this stage, most of the victims are disassembled and dismantled without any resistance.
“…?!”
[But this time, the enemies were the only creatures that we met in the first place capable of cellular warfare. They started eating the cells of the corps they were attacking in reverse.]
The corps’ nest, which was undergoing digestion, quickly hardened and began to warp at the same time.
The corps began to be pushed by the toxin emitted by the mutant sterilizer.
The gnomes took over the nutrient procurement system using the cells of the Legion that they infected first.
The energy they put in actually gave them a boost, and as a result, the destroying bacteria began to multiply infinitely like cancer cells within the swarm.
[If we go on like this, the whole thing will be attacked by them. The corps, the predators that eat anything, will be eaten in reverse.]
Gluttony is the innate essence and nature of the Legion.
To deny it is to deny the meaning of existence.
“no.”
But the Legion has already done all the calculations.
At the same time, he admitted his mistake.
“It’s not enough to grow claws and teeth.”
In the meantime, it was true that he had only paid attention to the reinforcement of the legionnaires.
Because until now, I have never met an enemy who dared to stand up to my abilities.
If you take this event as an opportunity and prepare for it as an experience, this alone is a great harvest.
This was the legion’s conclusion.
The corps attempted a new type of attack inside the nest where fierce war was taking place.
Thin tissues, like the roots of a tree, began to forcibly penetrate into the infected tissue.
At the same time, strong energy waves were emitted from the roots in a chain, killing all cells in the vicinity.
“The possibilities of form are endless.”
Another power that gave the legionaries a transcendent power that transcends reality.
The Swarm’s Divine Tree was already growing rapidly in the middle of the widest stem layer.
There was no law that that power had to be used only in visible battles.
The eyes gleamed under the mask.
The craving for knowledge that would make me stronger was also growing stronger.
