Chapter 227 – 227. Terrible Hybrid

Four devils and two beasts died.

Half of the blood demon’s body was torn off, but it was barely breathing thanks to its persistent vitality. The Lamechs also looked seriously injured, but did not die.

“Gotcha.”

I caught the queen.

A boss monster that has become extremely strong by absorbing the dragon veins of three bosses.

It is only called a field boss in a game sense, but in reality, this guy was also a great disaster for humanity.

“Whoa.”

A city on fire.

I unsummoned all the broken dark spirits. It would probably take quite a lot of magic stones to re-summon it.

It’s fortunate that the rest of the party has its own supply of magic stones to run the base, but it would be quite a headache if these guys crawled out constantly.

“Inho!”

“Ah.”

As I was looking down at the queen’s dead body lying around with a blank expression, Uncle Junho appeared with Balrog.

It played a big role in the city cleanup work. Since Gimhae has become a sea of ​​fire, most things will burn to death.

“You had a hard time.”

“You.”

“Yes?”

“My complexion is not good.”

“Ah. Really?”

Now I am in the form of a vampire. Isn’t that why my complexion is bad? Because vampires are naturally pale.

“That’s not it. No. You’ll figure it out. “I’m sorry for meddling.”

The man tried to add something, but then shook his head as if it was a pointless meddling.

[He looks a little mentally tired.]

‘Really?’

If even Agaf says this, it means it’s time to rest. After just stopping by Busan, I will check out some bases starting this evening and then take a rest. I’m really going to rest. It was too much work.

“Let’s move for now.”

There is still work to be done.

We must go down to Busan and capture Sado. We cannot just ignore the danger that is right around the corner. Let’s cheer up a little more.

Tak!

As soon as I got into the car driven by Junho, I opened a can of coffee and drank it. Before caffeine enters the body, it is broken down by the resistance stat.

It’s terrible, but I no longer get the effects of caffeine when I drink coffee. Moreover, even if you drink alcohol or pour it into a box, all the alcohol will disappear within 3 minutes.

Perhaps cigarettes or drugs would also not have much effect and would volatilize and fly away.

In many ways, it was beyond human control. In the first place, only the mind was human, and the body had almost no traces of human beings.

As expected, when I consumed the red fruit of Xaettle, parasites were created in my body and my body was also reorganized.

It has become difficult to truly call ourselves human. Because more than half of the body is no longer human.

‘What will happen to my child…?’

Actually, that’s what I’m most worried about. What kind of being will my child be born with?

Are we going to be half parasitic and half human? Or are you born as a yoma or an angel?

[I’m worried for no reason. I will be born as a human.]

‘Is that so?’

[Okay. The energy of the yoma, the power of the heavenly world, or Xiaetl has settled in your body and has not changed your fundamentals. You are human Now I just wear various accessories.]

‘…’

Thank god. After hearing Agaf’s words, I calmed down a little.

Well, I’m better than Junho, who can only drink water with his photosynthesis skill.

‘Anyway.’

After killing the queen of the Alcids, my survival level increased by one more.

With this, I achieved a survival rating of 50 and ascended to the ranks of true transcendents. Just as I was wondering what kind of change had occurred, I was able to find out right away when I checked the newly acquired skills.

[Road of Transcendence (S)]

[Effect: You will be able to react in a split second and sometimes go beyond your limits.]

[Handicap: Survival rating must be 50 or higher. This handicap cannot be erased.]

This is the skill you gain as soon as you reach survival level 50. The description of the skill was very vague. Being able to react in a split second, or being able to overcome limits.

‘The queen’s awakening stone and soul stone…’

As if the racial characteristics had been forcibly forged into skills, it seemed much better to use it as a dark spirit than to learn it myself.

I will try to summon him later when I arrive in Busan.

‘Spiritual and physical transactions are…’

After offering the queen’s soul and body, three red reward boxes were given. There was no other compensation. I’ll have to go back to the base and open this later.

I guess I should just open the red one. Since a building protrudes from the red reward box, if you tell Leona to open it, and it collides, a catastrophe will occur.

Last time, Asmorphia took action, but now she is not there.

‘What’s left is.’

Confirmation of awakening stones and soul stones has been completed, and spiritual and physical transaction rewards have also been confirmed. Now all that’s left is to receive the initial attack reward.

This time, I was able to receive the reward for being the first person on Earth to capture the mushroom beasts, namely the Migo Combination and Queen Alcid, by catching and killing them.

Another 3 options will appear. And in one of them, the evil spirit must have been playing a prank.

First, let’s catch and kill the Migo combination and receive the reward.

[Reward List]

[One. Idol of the Twisted Mushroom: Purple mushrooms can now be collected by coating an idol with blood, placing it in an enclosed space, and then sacrificing the corpse of a creature. If you take purple mushrooms, you will be ‘cursed of immortality’ for 1 hour.]

[2. Destroyed Mushroom Idol: Red mushrooms can now be collected by coating an idol with blood, placing it in an enclosed space, and then sacrificing the corpse of a creature. If you take red mushrooms, you will be subject to the ‘curse of erosion’ for 1 hour.]

[3. Idol of Crushed Mushrooms: Yellow mushrooms can now be collected by coating an idol with blood, placing it in a confined space, and then sacrificing the corpse of a creature. If you take yellow mushrooms, you will be subject to the ‘Curse of Knowledge’ for 1 hour.]

What kind of reward is this?

If you eat a mushroom after putting a corpse in it, you will be cursed?

[The curse of immortality is a curse that prevents you from dying for one hour even if your body is destroyed. And the curse of knowledge will allow you to utilize your brain 200%?]

“Wow!”

Ainus, who was quietly observing the reward, told him about the curse. He thought it would be bad because it was a curse, but in reality, it had a tremendous effect.

[Instead, since it is a curse, the more it accumulates in the body, the worse it becomes. If the remnants of the curse of immortality continue to pile up, your mind will probably collapse. Conversely, if the curse of knowledge overlaps, your body will melt.]

“…”

There seemed to be a side effect.

Just when I was about to be disappointed again, Agaf opened his mouth.

[But this will also be solved if we bring that toad alchemist then.]

“Was it Kerrr?”

[Wasn’t it Keker? I’m not sure.]

You may be able to find a place to use it. You can think of it as a reward for farming materials along with the Orb of Hell.

‘Then what is number 2?’

Destroyed Mushroom Idol.

It is said that if you take it, you will be cursed with erosion.

[This.]

‘No way.’

Is this a reward offered by the evil spirit?

No, this time it felt perfect. To be honest, I could have chosen without knowing.

[It’s getting more and more sophisticated.]

[I might play around with this later by placing it at number 1 or 3 instead of number 2.]

[Thank goodness I can only interfere with one item so far.]

As Agap and Ainus said, I thought that I might come up with a variation of the past exam in the future.

It’s a shame that these two gave me information quickly, but if I had to choose on my own, I might have chosen number 2.

‘I’ll have to discuss this with the toad guy later.’

First, I don’t think it’s something I would choose based on my judgment.

Then here is the next reward. It is the reward achieved by killing Queen Alcid.

Squeak.

“Huh?”

When I was about to check my reward, the car suddenly stopped.

“Because the road is blocked.”

“I see.”

The road was blocked by cars. It is very artificial.

“Mister.”

“Uh.”

“Please lower your upper body and do not get out of the car.”

“Oh, I understand.”

As soon as I finished speaking, the man lowered his upper body, and I summoned Balrog in front of the car as if to protect him. No, I tried to summon him.

Taaaaang!!!!

“Kwaaaaa!!!!”

The windshield of the car shattered, and a bullet landed in my shoulder. The durability stat was high, so it couldn’t pierce the skin, but my left arm trembled from the dull impact.

Someone shot us from a distance. Moreover, it prevented the summoning of my dark spirit. How did you stop the summoning of the dark spirit? Items that prevent summoning? Or that kind of skill?

Kwaang!!!

I kicked the car door down and quickly ran outside.

There are people who catch and kill people who crawl in here. Probably with a high probability.

‘It is not a person.’

This is not the work of the same survivor.

Is there any reason to attack a seemingly empty light vehicle with a gun like that? It doesn’t matter if it’s a truck full of luggage.

It’s literally just me and Junho, so why bother wasting bullets to kill someone?

‘Either an alien species or a fanatic unleashed by the apostle of the evil spirit.’

Either it’s a guy targeting me, or it’s a ghoul targeting an awakened person with skills, a veteran survivor strong enough to drive around in a car on a winter night.

Since ghouls can absorb skills through predation, isn’t there a high possibility that they are ghouls?

[Both are wrong.]

“Huh?”

[That is…]

Kwaaang!!!!!

“Oh my!!!!”

At that moment, something crashed in front of me.

Large body.

Wings similar to those of a devil, strange ovipositors on the back, and spewing spores and telekinetic fields.

A giant with rotten flesh here and there.

A zombie, no, a ghoul. Even…

“What the hell is this?”

A ghoul with tentacles growing.

[It is a ghoul touched by the evil spirit.]

A hybrid appeared.
