Zeng!
The floor of the cave where the monster stepped was dug deep with a loud sound, and the monster who threw his body at the same time as the recoil quickly closed the distance.
Get a card!
The metallic skin stood upright like thorns, and large awl-like claws protruded from the tips of the two outstretched hands.
The widely spread fingers turned into ten awls and charged as if they were going to make John’s body full of holes, and was about to be pierced right now.
thud!
John’s body flew backwards as if someone had pulled him, and the revolver fired.
bang! bang! bang! bang! bang!
Five bullets flew from the muzzle of the revolver, which had completely emptied the magazine in an instant, and at the same time, the monster’s back wriggled, and a piece of flesh suddenly came out and covered the front.
Bubbeobuck!
The bullets that flew in the form of a pentagon pierced the flesh all at once.
“What?!”
John’s superpowers changed the composition of the bullets and set them on fire all at once.
Fire.
“Kuk!”
The bullets that ignited all at once inside the flesh burned the tissue from the inside, and the same ingredient as that of napalm used the body tissue of the monster as food to increase momentum.
Titi tititing!
John glared coldly at the flesh that had begun to turn red in an instant, skillfully reloaded it, and then pulled the trigger in succession.
Bang bang bang!
The bullet fired at a speed reminiscent of the rapid fire of a single action reached the monster’s body again, and there was nothing that the tip of a bullet made of single molecules could not penetrate.
Bubbeobuck!
“Keep!”
Roaring!
Once again, the stuck bullet started to ignite, burning the monster’s flesh, and the momentum increased even more.
T-R-R-R-R-Ling!
The cylinder after reloading turned with a cheerful sound, and the moment I was about to pull the trigger again.
Cranky!
With the sound of something large tearing, the burning flesh flew towards John, and John had no choice but to roll his body sideways in a hurry.
bang!
The cave vibrated loudly with a roar, perhaps due to its heavy weight, and smoke, which did not look very good for health, rose rapidly along with the distinctive smell of burning flesh.
‘Body fluids are toxic.’
With information about the opponent in his head, John straightened up.
exhilaration!
With the sound of cutting through space, ten awls flew to pierce John’s body, and John, who sensed the movement with this ability, calmed his eyes and moved his fingers.
Hung!
The panel rose as if it had been there from the beginning, and the panel reinforced with adamantium and various metals seemed to be able to defend against enemy attacks again.
but.
Kwajik.
“Suck?!”
The panel that could block even the most small missiles had been pierced in vain, and John, surprised, reflexively turned his body.
Wooddeuk.
“Kuk!”
It dodged most of the awls, but one dug into John’s left shoulder, mangled muscle and bone.
His left arm drooped along with the pain running through his whole body, and John rolled on the floor again with his teeth clenched.
‘The panel was pierced. There’s even rigid body magic.’
Quaggagak!
As if he had waited, John’s thoughts accelerated as he watched the awls digging into the spot where John was.
‘The sharpness of the awl is beyond imagination. Impossible to block. It is probably the resistance to the ability unique to mutants that was pierced by rigid body technique.’
“die!”
Pleasant love!
A scream erupted from the monster’s mouth, probably feeling the fishy scent of blood, and at the same time, countless awls were fired into the entire cave.
It’s an awl that was shot at random, but that’s why it’s a more dangerous situation.
Whoa!
Eight panels overlapped at a slight interval, blocking John’s way.
Quagga Gagagak!
The first panel was pierced too lightly, and the awl, which did not die, penetrated the second panel, but lost a little power in the third panel, passed through the fourth, and was blocked at the fifth panel.
Although it is simple, it implemented the principle of space armor, and John’s panels, which were continuously improved, were built to defend against enemy attacks.
Sighing, John let out a light sigh, and pulled out the awl that had dug into his shoulder.
‘Kuu!’
The faint scent of blood spread everywhere, and the blood that began to flow from the wound was black, so it never looked normal.
‘poison. Tissue necrosis.’
A dark red aura was spreading around the awl, necroticizing John’s body.
Although rigid body art was actively moving and preventing its spread, it was clear that it would act as a fatal variable in a combat situation like now.
aww
A military greatsword was held in Moon John’s right hand, and the greatsword was embedded in the wound.
‘Kuu!’
The pain of digging into raw flesh with his own hands seemed to make him lose his mind, but John’s hands were unstoppable.
hard.
John’s face turned white as the muscle and bone were cut out by turning the greatsword around the place where the awl had dug in, and cold sweat poured down his face like rain.
Took.
The dark red mass of flesh fell to the floor and soon melted away with grotesque smoke.
If he had hesitated even a little, John’s whole body would have been like that.
John’s face hardened.
The left arm, which had lost its volume in an instant, looked as if it would tear away from the body at the slightest shock.
Whoa!
The agency pulled out this ability with all its power, and the overheated output focused on the rigid body technique, rushing directly to the wound and eradicating all the monster’s poison.
No matter how much it is said that the mutant organization itself resists the ability, there is a limit to some extent.
I ignorantly took and pressed it with enormous power, and soon the dark red color disappeared and bright red blood flowed.
Push!
Several injections taken from the inventory were inserted into the shoulders and thighs, and the nanomachines and regeneration potions began to play their part actively.
Tang! Tang!
The sound of the syringe falling on the floor rang loudly, and I took out a fist-sized ball from my inventory.
“Keuk!”
Even though he hesitated for a moment, he shoved a wad into the open wound with a bold touch, and the pain, however John, was not easily tolerated.
“There!”
The sight was obscured by the rising gas and the awl that attacked in all directions. In such a situation, the monster’s awl heard John’s groan and flew again, and the layered panels blocked John’s way again.
Kwajijijijijik!
The appearance of the panel shaking loudly with a terrible sound made it look like it would break through at any moment, but John gritted his teeth and raised his ability.
Uzijik.
A bundle of artificial protein, calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium reacted to John’s ability and changed its composition, filling up John’s lost volume.
“······Queue!”
The missing bones were connected and the severed muscles followed.
Blood vessels are connected, blood flows again, and the pain of finding a place for a broken nerve and connecting is more than you can imagine.
“······after.”
However, in exchange for the pain, John was able to avoid amputating his arm, and he was able to recover some of his lost fighting power, so he was able to withstand it.
Kudo deuk!
The panels that were defending against the indiscriminate attack were distorted with a bizarre sound, and it seemed like they would all be pierced right away, but it could be said that the role was fully fulfilled as it bought time for first aid.
John’s eyes, with his face dripping with cold sweat, turned grim.
Jijik.
With a light electronic sound, the body slowly melted into the landscape.
***
Empty!
A loud sound resounded in the messed up cave, and the monster, who had been shooting an awl like crazy, stopped moving.
“……Huh.”
The sound of exhausted breathing came out of nowhere.
It is said that they turned into mutants and obtained powers that transcended the human species, but mutants are also living creatures.
It is said that it has a completely different ecology from normal life, but it is natural that it is exhausted because it consumes an absurd amount of body mass in an instant and pours in attacks.
‘I need to supplement my nutrition.’
It required as much energy as intense activity, and in my experience, there was no energy source comparable to humans.
The smoke and dust had gone a little, and the monstrous man’s mouth was torn and a vicious smile formed as he looked at the lump of iron with awls stuck in it.
profit.
Unknowingly, the drop of saliva hit the floor and created toxic gas, and my hungry instinct urged me to run and eat the living body that was sure to be lying around behind me.
The monster was lucky.
Thanks to receiving Lina’s attack with her body the other day, her resistance to fire greatly increased, and because of that, she was able to avoid being hit by the flames ignited inside her body.
Successive attacks further increased resistance to fire, and the awl polished solely for the purpose of penetrating completely neutralized the enemy’s defense.
The poison filled in the awl was not of a quality that humans could endure, so it was obvious that the enemy’s life and death were not checked.
There was no real breathing sound or sign.
I lost my mind after living a pitiful day by day, and when I woke up, I was something other than a human being, but I liked that at least.
strength.
Just by looking at it, he had obtained power that surpassed those with dazzling abilities, so it was worthwhile to become a monster with that alone.
‘mother!’
Feeling a faint connection with her mother, who now became her everything, filled her with a sense of fulfillment.
“I have to go back.”
As long as the enemy came all the way here, it wouldn’t be any different than another road.
The feeling of fullness faded, and anxiety rose sharply, and the monster’s steps quickened.
I felt like I had to replenish my nutrition and go to my mother’s side, so I moved my feet wildly.
Fortunately, this fight made her stronger, so she should be able to defeat the enemies who are aiming for her mother without much difficulty.
At that time, I pushed through gas and dust and roughly pushed a lump of iron with awls in it, following my instinctive desire to replenish my love and hope for my mother and nourishment.
“······yes?”
In a situation where only bloodstains remained on the floor and nothing was visible, the monster’s mind went blank for a moment.
“……Has it been chopped?”
It is said that it was based on humans, but the monster’s intelligence, which was originally a normal person, declined as he transformed into a mutant, and he did not react as quickly as he did when he was a human.
And.
hooked
“······yes?”
That gap was more than enough for John.
Pushik.
The syringe that casually dug into the metal skin poured its contents into the monster’s body, and the syringe that fulfilled its role soon fell to the cave floor.
Empty!
With a clear sound, John’s figure appeared like a mirage on one side of the cave, and the monster’s body, which confirmed the prey, swelled up like a hedgehog once again.
“You are tenacious!”
He was full of hunger, but the murderous intent and madness towards the living thing ignored all of that, and the moment when the awl was about to pour mercilessly again.
“······yes?”
thud!
The monster’s knees fell on their knees and collapsed to the floor of the cave without realizing it.
