Chapter 200 – Being Born From an Egg (02)

Sticky bodily fluids surround my body.

My whole body was wrapped in unpleasant, unpleasant substances, and a stench that made it difficult to breathe was taking over my body.

‘Ugh! Inori is hiding alone in the [Shadow Pocket]!’

It may be because my shadow sac is small, but I just used a wooden sword to shatter the shell of this egg.

Whoa whoa!

It explodes in the air, exploding slime and shells with a terrible odor.

Surprisingly, no demon energy was felt, but instead, the larvae demons filled in this egg case exploded from the impact, and numerous demons were eliminated in the air with a single blow.

“{No! The egg the king entrusted to me…!}”

Priestesses with the [Valkyrie of the Battlefield] Trait and winged demons were fighting, but the captain who seemed to be leading them was glaring at me.

“{If you are interfering with our cause, die!}”

The demon with scales all over its body, including its wings, was gritting its teeth and trying to attack me.

“Come.”

Pop!

Using [Shadow Granting Art], I fixed the hand holding the handle, descended from the air, and swung the wooden sword towards the demon attacking me…

Sreuk.

Pretending to do so, I gave it some paint and laughed at it as it spread its wings and dodged my attack.

“Heh!”

“{How dare you! On a trivial human subject!}”

When it saw my expression, it became extremely angry, stretched out its wings and attacked me, and the moment its shadow covered my body.

“Inori.”

Push!

[Shadow thorns] Erupted from my body and pierced its head and heart.

Even a body covered in thick scales could not block attacks caused by [Shadow Thorns] That ignore defense.

“{You tricked me…!}”

After confirming that the demon was dead as the demon energy was disturbed, I passed by Golem No. 2 and Chris, who were fighting frantically in the air, and fell to the ground.

“[Shadow enchantment]…”

I tried to hold on by casting [Shadow Impartment] On my legs and spine, but because I was falling so fast, the trajectory of [Shadow Impartment] Was disrupted little by little.

At this rate, the chance of protecting my legs and spine if I fall is 50 to 50, so while I was a little worried, the shadow I created began to spread wide, and Inori moved right under me and spread her arms her .

‘It must be heavy’

Whoa whoa!!

I throw myself into the shadow spread by Inori.

The moment I fell, Inori wrapped her arms around my body and caught my body by falling into her her own her her [Shadow pocket].

Bogrrrr…

Inori, who was hugging me tightly in the shadows, accepted me without saying a word and buried her face in my arms, but I could see that her her heart gauge her her, which always maintains four spaces, had already filled five spaces.

She must have liked the fact that he believed in her and let her go, because her disposition, her desire for loyalty, was still shining like a fire.

‘Rather, I am more grateful for the help I received.’

We fell with Inori into the depths of the [Shadow Pocket], And after a while, we use [Shadow Ninjutsu] To open the bag again on the ground and pop out.

“Aren! Are you okay?”

Sir Andre, who was cutting off the head of a mid-level demon that had lost its wings nearby, asks worriedly.

To an outsider, this process will appear as if it had sunk to the ground and then rose again.

“Yeah, well… Okay.”

Rather than falling with [Shadow Grant], It was like falling safely.

The slime on my body has been peeled off in the air, but there is still a bit of smell left, but the other people who have dealt with half-demons and larval demons all smell the same, so I’m not the only one who has a problem.

“So, is this the end?”

Due to the priestesses with the [Valkyrie of the Battlefield] Trait, they had a certain degree of advantage in air combat, and the ground battle was almost settled.

In fact, the current royalist troop loss was extremely small, and the ducal faction’s troops were reduced to 100++ again, so I think this coronation event is almost over.

‘Isn’t it over yet?’

Carefully approach the place where the huge egg case that fell earlier is located.

In a place where neither demons nor royalist soldiers approach, you can see an egg case that has been shattered by the impact of falling to the ground.

Because my wooden sword had already exploded in the air, about half of the egg case had burst and the remaining contents were leaking out.

– Additional goal: Stop the birth of ? (In progress) –

The additional goals are not over yet.

Crackling- crackling-!

My vision becomes blurry, as if there is noise.

I looked around to see if a bug had occurred to me, but Sir Andre was also frowning and the Cylian who was forcibly captured and protected next to him was also rubbing his eyes, so it seemed like I wasn’t the only one .

= ? Struggles to come out of the egg =

“This is…”

“Aren?”

The Cylian looked back at me, probably because he felt it was similar to the ‘voice’ I was using, but I shook my head.

= Egg is a world =

Now I know the identity of this voice.

It was a system message, but rather than telling you about an event, if you explain something like whispering in your ear.

This is a narration.

‘Something big is coming’

= Anyone who tries to be born destroys a world =

Although it was slightly changed, it was a familiar sentence.

Swallowing nervously, he clenched his hand holding the wooden sword. The Valkyries of the battlefield, who had been suppressing demons in the air, also landed on the ground and surrounded the broken egg nest.

= The bird flies towards God… =

Support!

A clear system message came into my head along with the noise that was so loud that it hurt my ears.

– Additional goal: Stop the birth of ? (Success) –

“…Haa…”

Only then could I breathe a sigh of relief.

This was because there was evidence that something in this egg had been disposed of before I was born.

‘If the thing in this egg had been born without interference, it would have created a powerful enemy that cannot be dealt with at its current level, right?’

The difficulty level is still close, but if you think about the mission that is given as a penalty for failure, it feels terrible.

When no more voices could be heard from the nest, everyone was sheathing their weapons, thinking the battle was over.

“{The name of that god…}”

The name was about to come out of the mouth of the plastic-wearing demon who died after being pierced by Inori.

Wow!

“Ahh!”

I immediately swung my wooden sword and smashed its head and body, causing scales to fly everywhere, injuring several soldiers, but I had no time to think about that.

But a little faster than that, the mouth of the intermediate demon whose head had been cut off by Sir Andre, with only the head remaining, completed the sentence.

“{Abraxas}”

Excited.

A beating was heard from that broken egg case so that everyone present could feel it.

“Everyone… No, only the most elite… Prepare for battle.”

Although Sailian was exhausted, he was so nervous that the smile he had been wearing until now disappeared and he gathered together the elite soldiers.

“Ordinary soldiers, run away from now on without looking back.”

It was something a commander should not have said, but the soldiers froze, nodded, and began to run away.

In the escape situation, chaos broke out and people pushed each other and made a fuss, but the people who were supposed to lead the retreat in an orderly manner were all watching that egg nest without blinking an eye, so they had no time to pay pay attention to the soldiers. .

Exciting…

The beating sound rings out once again.

“Aren!”

The moment when I, who has the most powerful destructive power in this place, is about to rush in with a wooden sword.

Excited. Excited. Exciting!

My heartbeat quickened and I heard a system message sound in my ears.

Tiring-

– Additional goal: Born imperfectly ? Remove-

“Damage!”

Sigh-!

A broken egg splits apart.

A world is divided.

As the soft egg case bursts, its contents, the unborn ‘bird’, opens its eyes.

A being that hasn’t been created properly yet, and isn’t even good enough to be called a chick.

There was not even a trace of feathers, and within the cloudy and thick yolk, the being that was preparing to be born had finally opened its eyes.

No, since they don’t have eyelids, it would be more correct to just say ‘they turned their pupils to look at us’.

I swing the wooden sword with all my might and strike at this being.

Tiring-

– Additional goal: Born imperfectly ? Removal (successful) –

An indestructible wooden sword of 99999 strength, an item equivalent to a cheat key.

I swung, thinking that with this damage I could be pulverized without a trace.

Whoa whoa!!

The contents burst out in an instant and I remembered that I had finished it.

Because system messages don’t lie.

‘What, this is easier than I thought…’

Tiring-

– Additional goal: Born imperfectly ? Remove-

But at that moment, the mucus that I had destroyed came together again, and the unborn bird opened its eyes again, stretched out its egg string like a snake, and used it as a leg to pick up a piece of the broken egg case on one of its arms.

Whoa whoa!

Tiring-

– Additional goal: Born imperfectly ? Removal (successful) –

However, it was still the same as being broken if hit by a wooden sword.

– Additional goal: Born imperfectly ? Remove-

However, it only appears as it plays much faster than before!

‘Damn it!’

It’s not that it couldn’t stand its defenses, but that this bird, no, Abraxas, kept coming back in the manner of being ‘born’ when it was ‘destroyed’.

In other words, you can kill, but you can respawn infinitely!

“It’s a monster!!”

Even a swordsman from a famous family who followed Marian and fought against demons that transcended common sense threw his sword in shock at the situation unfolding before his eyes his.

When the bird saw the famous swordsman trembling like Pilbu, it immediately opened its mouth and swallowed the swordsman.

Gulp.

– Additional goal: A born imperfectly?? Remove-

The protruding eyes are stuck in place because they can’t keep their shape.

“Don’t get eaten! Run away now!!”

“Save me…”

One elite soldier gets caught in a bridge made of rope before he can escape.

“Ahh! No!”

A soldier who appeared to be a friend tried to catch the soldier being dragged away, but even his arm was caught by a thick attack that looked like a whip swung by the bird.

‘Danger…!’

It was just a part that looked like a string, but it wrapped itself around the soldiers’ bodies like a living snake, then dragged it into its mouth and swallowed it.

– Additional goal: ABP born incomplete? Remove-

As feathers soaked in mucus sprout little by little, the beak begins to harden.

Now it has turned into something like the chick inside an egg that I saw in the picture in science class.

Even though its legs were snakes, it wore a shield, and its shell was like armor.

“Step back!”

“Your Majesty! No!”

When the Valkyries on the battlefield threw white spears or cut with swords, it had some effect, but it only slowed down the regeneration speed and could not prevent the bird’s attack.

‘What should I do?’

There was no monster like this.

There was no attack against this enemy.

The moment I saw an enemy that I couldn’t defeat with a wooden sword, my hair instantly turned white.

Sigh! Plop plop!

In an instant, a [Shadow Thorn] Came out and attacked the bird, but the bird didn’t take any damage, only shaking for a moment as a hole was created in its body.

The Valkyries on the battlefield were fighting for their lives and buying time against the bird, but the bird quickly learned their fighting patterns and was counterattacking more and more menacingly.

‘Should I evaporate it? Use Alice’s [Star Magic] To evaporate in an instant… But what if you fail? If something goes wrong, Alice will die?’

“Master.”

Inori also suddenly jumped out of the shadows and was next to me.

“You can’t run away…”

“No.”

Right now, Inori’s black eyes had a clear heart shape engraved with love.

“Master. Do you trust me?”

“…”

“So much so that you leave everything to me?”

I tried to ask what that meant, but the answer was revealed in Inori’s eyes hers.

The question is whether you trust Inori enough to entrust her life to Inori without the slightest means of defense.

She was asking if I could go into her shadow even in a situation where I couldn’t protect myself with [Shadow Ninjutsu].

I was able to answer that question without hesitation.

“Of course.”

There was no way I wouldn’t trust the heroines I risked my life to protect.

In normal cases, I would give my opinion, but in their field of expertise, listening to their opinions was the right answer.

As if satisfied with the answer, Inori took off the mask that was covering her face and hugged me.

“Then please give it to me. My lord’s shadow.”

The shadows of the two become assimilated.

I have her share her with her the minimum shadow that she can use her [Her Her Shadow Ninjutsu], And even her her [Her Her Her Her Her Shadow Pocket] Her.

The moment Inori’s shadow and my shadow were perfectly shared, Inori seemed to melt… It wasn’t just a metaphor, or hiding in my shadow, but it really replaced my shadow.

“Inori. There must be a way, right?”

She, who had become a shadow, could not answer, but as we had already become one, I was able to guess her intentions.

“Okay. In that case… “

[Shadow ninjutsu].

It literally combines two people’s ninjutsu into one.

Just as Yujiro’s father and Saori’s mother did, and even more so, I extend my shadow with Inori who has become one.

My shadow, which has a variety of abilities, and Inori’s shadow, which can transform at will, merge, and the abilities of the two people merge.

And we awakened new abilities.

Slurp.

A wide shadow spreads beneath the flying bird, surrounded by Cylians and Valkyries.

Gurgling!

As the Valkyries, feeling ominous, retreated, they roared within the leaking mucus, suggesting the pleasure of victory.

The ground beneath their feet was already covered with our shadows.

“Start.”

Cheoeok-

When I traced the ground with my foot as if opening a [Shadow pocket], The trace appeared in the shadow, and the shadow surrounding the bird opened its mouth.

Contained within it are teeth made up of numerous [Shadow thorns].

“Chew… Chew…”

The bird, which had been hacked to pieces by teeth made of [Shadow Thorns] That ignored its defense power, was reduced to a paste and began to be torn apart.

Of course, the bird will try to be resurrected once again.

“If you chew it… You have to digest it.”

Inside is a deep darkness that can swallow everything… Even a mysterious bird like that can digest it.

Finally, the mouth closed, and the shadow became Inori’s new form and attached itself to my feet as if nothing had happened.

The entire process ends with the mask around the neck being put on.

Tiring!

– Additional goal: ABP born incomplete? Removal (successful) –

– Shadow Predation –

– Two shadows become one. The object is swallowed up by an increasing shadow, a mouth like a zipper that can be easily opened at any time, anywhere, teeth that exceed physical and conceptual limits, and an abyss of an abyss that even the people themselves do not know about. If you swallow something by mistake, even if it’s something you value, be careful because you can’t get it out again –
