I Became an Evolving Space Monster

Chapter 360

“Salman, the cargo has departed. Estimated arrival date is in 7 days.”
“okay.”

Salman nodded after hearing what the chamberlain said during the meal.

“If there is a problem in the middle, it will be difficult, so please keep in touch.”
“All right.”

At the master’s command, the chamberlain bowed respectfully and stepped down.

Salman cut the meat on the plate again with a knife. It was a steak made from the meat of Vulkarox, the beast he ruled. Even if you slaughtered a large bronze bull, the edible portion was only about the size of a plate.

I took a piece of the precious meat with my fork and put it in my mouth. The downside was that the meat was a bit tough, but the flavor itself wasn’t bad. There was a lot of very expensive spices added, so it couldn’t have been tasteless.

However, it was not enough to satisfy his tongue, which grew up eating all kinds of precious foods while living in reality.

‘Tsk.’

There is no ice cream filled with saffron and vanilla here, nor is there any Iberico jamon from the farm he owns. That fact made it difficult for him.

‘Everyone is so amazing. It’s been this hard for me, even though I’ve only been there for a few years. How did I survive for such a long time?’

The time he spent in this world was only three years. Even though it is this painful, I can’t even imagine how difficult it must have been for the members who lived longer than him.

Salman took a sip of the cult wine with renewed admiration. The meat was so-so, but the wine had a raspberry-like flavor, so it was edible.

Just as he was about to finish his meal, a strange sensation struck him. A feeling of chilliness, as if you were in a warm place and then suddenly felt a cold breeze on the back of your neck. He knows very well what that feeling means.

It was a signal sent when one of the animals controlled by Salman sensed danger.

‘Vulkarox?’

Asuka 44 has a different type of surveillance system than other planets. This is because there is Salman who rules over all kinds of animals.

He scattered the animals under his control all over the planet. Surveillance cameras are alive and moving around, watching for intruders.

And when the animals spot an intruder, a signal goes out to Salman.

Like now.

‘Who is it?’

According to a signal sent by Vulkarox, a gigantic creature that had never been seen before was wandering near Dradsong’s territory. Since Salman had previously ordered him not to fight a strong enemy, he ran away from the mysterious monster.

‘Tch, I intentionally didn’t link my vision because I was tired.’

Salman’s special privilege, ‘Beast God’s Lasso’, can link body functions with the monster he dominates. However, because there were many restrictions when connected, it was not a function I used often.

However, there have been several instances in the past where the creatures he controlled gave false reports. This is because even if you dominate and give orders, you cannot improve the low intelligence of wild animals.

This happened because Vulkarox, who was now on his plate, also sent a wrong signal.

‘But I guess I’ll have to check just in case.’

Salman called the chamberlain with a gesture.

“Send a ship to check Dradsong’s territory.”
“All right.”

He finished the rest of the wine, thinking it was a mistake made by stupid Vulkarox, as usual.

[Zuzu Zuzuzu (Are you all okay?)]
“Whew, I thought I was going to get crushed to death.”
“I’m fine!”
“There’s no problem except that 11% of the tail is damaged.”

I used my three heads and six erosion tentacles to clear the rocks on my back.

The fragments of the ground that had risen high into the sky fell intact on my head. As soon as I saw the rain of falling rocks, I grabbed the kids with multiple arms and ran.

The scope of the explosion created by No. 26 and the Mother of Sky together was truly enormous. If it didn’t have the ‘reinforced hind legs’ feature, it would have been crushed by the falling rocks.

I won’t be harmed by a blow of that magnitude, but the kids won’t be. If we had been even a little late, Heavenly Mother or PS-111 would have been injured.

‘Actually PS-111 was injured.’

While running, its tail was slightly damaged by falling rocks and lava. Fortunately, the demolisher at the end of the tail was not damaged.

[Zuzuzu zuzuzu (Can you cure it?)]
“If you have the right organic matter, you can repair it.”

The guy who said that turned his head upward.

Isabel, who had caught her prey, was descending. It was sticking dozens of arms attached to its body into the body of a large toad monster.

Every time Dradsong struggled, his arms moved slightly. Probably tearing the insides of the guy’s body with sharp nails.

?Me??First??Discovery??Cutting in line??Disgraceful?
“Cutting in line. “It’s more important to get your hands on something first than to discover it first.”
?Negative??Pretty Child??Disappointment??Disappointment!?
“If you let your guard down on anything, it will be taken away like now.”

Aadhai followed behind, pouring out his dissatisfied thoughts. Of course, Isabel didn’t care at all.

By the time the two came down, Dradsong was barely breathing. Isabelle approached me holding a monster.

“You have to kill to get the trait, right? Is that the case here too?”

I nodded and the guy handed over the loot to me without saying anything.

In the case of Cold Blood, you must complete several objectives to unlock advanced contracts. Among them is Apex hunting.

‘You don’t have to catch the dance song.’

It is also an Apex, but it is not included in Coldblood’s objectives.

‘Or does it not matter now that your body has changed?’

Either way, Dradsong’s body is unnecessary for him.

I prepared to feast on the new genetic essence. It is a ‘symbol of hunting’ that increases the probability of acquiring characteristics when predating.

The characteristic effect is activated and my body changes.

As the carapace covered the eyes on the central head, vision became dark. Instead, the auxiliary organs were much strengthened, and the changes occurring in the body were vividly felt. A second jaw, the pharyngeal jaw, protruded from each head, and the carapace and horns covering the head became thicker.

It wasn’t just the head whose structure changed completely. The body size also doubled compared to before, and new bone sickle arms protruded from around the waist.

“This…?”
“Oh, by the way, is this your first time seeing Isabelle?”

When my appearance suddenly changed, his eyes widened. Next to me, Heavenly Mother nodded in understanding.

“They say that if you change into that form, the probability of acquiring the genetic essence increases.”
“…What? “Then it’s not a scam?”
“Well, it’s not like you can transform at any time. There are also many restrictions.”

Isabelle mutters blankly. Hearing that he was an Amorph but was being called a fraud, it felt like an unprecedented situation.

After completing my transformation, I picked up the dance song Isabelle gave me. As its body grew well over 100 meters, this very large carnivorous toad almost looked like a hamburger.

‘You should eat carefully.’

Its corpse has many uses. It would be difficult if you accidentally ate all parts other than the head. I stuck out my double chin and bit down on its broad head. Its skull was crushed, and thick liquid, flesh, and brains oozed out from inside.

‘This tastes unique again, doesn’t it?’

His brain tasted like the curry I had eaten at an Indian restaurant before. The spicy taste that pleasantly stimulated the tongue struck my mind first, followed by the greasy flesh that neutralized the taste.

When I ate Lavalaptor, it tasted slightly spicy, but I think it was a mixture of lava and various acidic substances that created this flavor.

‘I want to eat more, but…’

That can’t be done because there are kids waiting.

I placed Apex, whose head was missing, on the ground. The Mother of Heaven, who returned to her form as a beast, went first. She began to peel off Dradsong’s outer skin with the priest’s golden spear.

“If it’s about skinning you, I’ll help you.”
“thank you. “Please take care of the tail area.”
“I understand.”

While they were working on the body, I shoved what I was chewing down my throat. And then I waited for the expected text box to pop up.

‘huh?’

Thanks to Aimorph’s unique digestive power, Dredsong’s meat quickly turned into energy and disappeared. However, the text box notifying successful predation did not appear.

‘what? no way?’

A similar thing happened before. When catching a couple of Crystal Wings on a frozen planet, the predation effect only appeared on one of them.

The symbol of hunting only greatly increases the probability of successful predation, but does not necessarily allow you to obtain the trait. I liked it because it was easier to catch than I expected, but I never thought the result would be like this.

“huh? Amorph, didn’t it show up again?”

She had almost completely removed the skin and was embarrassed to see me still like that.

[Zuzuzzu zuzuzu zuzu (I guess so)]
“I thought it was a scam, but it’s not necessarily true.”

Isabel’s regretful reaction became even more painful.

“Do you want to find a new one right now?”
[Zuzuzuzu (It must be difficult)]

Moreover, I was quite disappointed that I had lost the symbol of hunting even though I had transformed at best. You may think that all you have to do is find new dance songs, as Heavenly Mother said, but it is not easy. Because it’s almost impossible to find the guy hiding underground within the time limit.

Just as I was about to give up, PS-111, who had been quietly peeling off his skin, opened his mouth.

“From the airship, we obtained all the ecological information about the dragonsongs that inhabit this planet. “A total of three individuals, including this individual, are under surveillance.”
[Z(What?)]
“If you want, I will also tell you the locations of the remaining two.”

PS-111 speaks stiffly as usual.

But at this moment, it sounded extremely warm. It’s like the voice of an angel.

[Zuzzuzu zuzu zuzuzu zuzu zuzuzu zuzuzu (Tell me the location of the closest guy from here)]

19 minutes after an unexpected savior appeared.

With exactly two seconds left until the end of the hunting symbol, I succeeded in feasting on the dragon song.
