“All right naval guns 3 to 12 are inoperable! Numbers 1 and 11 on the left side also don’t work!”
“What a ss! A warship! “How did you sell the naval aircraft?”
“yes? Send your aircraft to fight the tallic gremlins?”
“Fuck you, do you want to just lie down here? “Get it out quickly!”
“Oh, I understand!”
The interior of the pirate ship’s situation room was extrely noisy.
Many people are afraid of space dogs, but there are many things in space that are scarier than pirates.
The tallic gremlin that suddenly appeared was one of those beings.
Those little demons with tal skin are a scourge to those who travel through space.
The sharp teeth can easily grind even the hardest alloy armor, and the unique wavelengths emitted from the skin can easily neutralize the detection function of drones or torpedoes. A horde of hundreds of tallic gremlins is an opponent that even the latest battleships have to be nervous about.
But now there are at least tens of thousands of enemies attacking the pirates. Frank, the vice leader of the Shinomitsu pirates, had never heard of a group this large.
“Communication manager! “What happened?”
“Bah, communication is not working because of the jamr! “We can’t even contact other ships!”
“You idiot! Then you just have to get out of the radio range right away!”
“Rear thruster damage exceeds 65%! “The speed decreases drastically!”
tallic Gremlins are very fond of refined tals. The reason they attack ships is not to eat people, but to eat alloy.
Although they have a much smaller body than humans, they have a fearso appetite. The mont they attach to the ship, this ship, which is over 100 ters long, will quickly disappear into their stomach.
And Frank, who lost his pirate ship, will die wandering in outer space.
‘Damn it, it was definitely a safe star system!’
The reason he ca here was because he heard that this was an opportunity for a rare creature to seize. It is true that I ca because I thought it was an opportunity to make money.
However, before coming, I checked in advance to see what risk factors there were. This is an area where trade ships and mining ships co very rarely. There is no reason for tallic Gremlin to co here.
‘But why are those bastards coming out here?!’
If I had known this would be the case, I would never have co here.
“Boss! “Their movents are strange!”
At a ti when I was regretting it later, my subordinate shouted in an embarrassed voice.
“No, they are moving away!”
“what?”
Frank quickly checked the hologram map. The dots that were about to attack the pirate ship were moving sowhere else.
‘Is that…?’
An unidentified ship sign was floating where the space marauders were heading. Perhaps due to radio interference, it was only clear that it was a ship, but other details were not confird.
“I don’t know what the fuck was, but it worked. “We have to run away from this gap….”
The mont I decided to escape while they were fighting, the boat suddenly shook violently.
–
‘Are you coming this way?’
The group that was about to devour three ships is flying towards . As if I was more important than them.
Currently, the vessel surrounding my body is a fusion of biological tissue and alloy. From the tallic Gremlin’s point of view, I am not particularly appetizing food.
‘Well, I’m thankful that you ca from over there.’
When I got ‘Nightmare Horizon’, I fought tallic gremlins for the first ti in this world. I rember narrowly winning even though it was a dium-sized group.
‘But not anymore.’
I modified the ship and made ‘heated thorn armor’. Contrary to its na, thorns similar in appearance to long spears were created on the front.
And when the temperature of the spike reached its limit, it was fired at three ships. Red thorns flew one after another and hit the target.
‘Because you can’t run away.’
The thrusters have been completely disabled, so there is no escape from here.
After preventing the ships from escaping, I prepared to fight the approaching horde.
Since you have to fill your stomach by eating enemies, you cannot use powerful attacks. Instead of exploiting the guns mounted on ships, hand-to-hand combat should be fought.
‘There are good traits for that.’
I applied the powerful defensive characteristic ‘Destroyer Carapace’ to the ship. In the case of the main body, it is always applied regardless of my will, but I needed to activate the eroded ship at my discretion.
The shape of the black sli covering the hull changes rapidly. The surface, which was smooth as obsidian, swelled to a bumpy shape and changed to resemble the outer shell of a magmasaur. When the feature of feverish thorny armor was added, large thorns sprouted all over the belly.
I reflected the characteristics that can be used one after another on the ship. The front of the ship split and transford into an elongated snout with tusks, and a tail with huge pincers erged from the back.
Now no one will look at and think I’m a pear. My appearance now is closer to that of a giant monster wandering in outer space.
｢■■■?｣
Those who were closing the distance wince when they see the ship transford into a monster.
｢■■!｣
I wondered if he was trying to run away, but he wasn’t. The bodies of those who stopped for a mont glowed blue. ‘Warp Boy’, who is mixed in the group, used ‘Warguide’, a large-scale faster-than-light navigation technology.
Soon, hundreds of tallic gremlins burst out of space around . The swirling mouth that fills my face opens wide and tries to bite .
‘Where!’
I opened the ‘harvester’s maw’ on the front wide. The mouth of a 500m-sized ship is tens of ters wide. It lunged at its enemies with its mouth open, like a whale eating a school of fish.
｢■■■■?!｣
The enemies that were accelerating to cling to were unable to avoid them and entered my mouth. I closed my jaw and swallowed whatever was in my mouth.
“Predation effect activated!”
Is it because I swallowed dozens of them in one go? While the ssage in the text window ca to mind, I felt a little hungry.
anwhile, tallic-colored marauders were clinging to . They struggled to sink their uniquely sharp teeth into the carapace of the Destroyer.
｢■■?｣
Unfortunately for them, the outer shell surrounding the bio-ship was very thick. It is easy to damage the surface, but penetrating inside is another story. It takes quite so ti for them to get inside.
‘I won’t wait until then.’
I swung my long tail and swept it across the carapace. Only six pieces remained where the tail passed.
｢■■■!｣
｢■■■!｣
Even though their compatriots were being massacred one after another, they seed to have no intention of stopping. They were just biting my skin with their teeth as if this was the only way.
‘Where is the leader?’
If there is a large group or more, there is always a commander entity, ‘Tittabos’. There are no uninvited guests on the ship, so they are probably hiding sowhere in the group where the warp boy is.
I cleared out the surrounding enemies with my mouth and tail and moved toward the group where Taitabos was hiding.
｢■■■■■!｣
From the group, individuals several tis larger than the tallic Gremlin ca forward. Those beings with both arms dyed black are ‘Wolfram Goblins’. They are a higher species of tallic gremlins and are specialized for long-distance control.
A horde of Wolfram goblins aim their arms at . Thousands of rock chunks fired from my fingertips rain down on .
That projectile is Wolfram Goblin’s excrent, mixed with microorganisms that corrode tal. It can be said to be truly fatal to an ordinary ship, but not this one.
I continued to move forward, fending off enemy attacks with my body. And when the distance got closer to a certain extent, the heating spikes attached to the entire ship were activated.
The black thorns turned red as if soaked in blood. The tallic gremlins near the thorns were lted by the high heat.
I rained down hot thorns on my enemies. So could sense the danger and escape on their own, but most could not. The silver cloud created by tens of thousands of birds was filled with holes pierced by thorns.
‘I’ll probably try to avoid it next ti.’
As expected, the warp boys demonstrated their abilities, and the silver clouds turned blue.
While they’re back, I’ll have to harvest the corpses of my enemies.
With that thought in mind, I was about to step forward, but sothing strange happened.
‘what?’
Suddenly, I felt a powerful flow of energy coming from all directions. This energy, felt nearby, is the trace emitted when attempting faster-than-light navigation.
‘Aren’t you trying to retreat?’
The warp boys in the group are attempting to teleport close to .
Enemies, one-third of the entire group, appeared right in front of us. The remaining two-thirds moved to the rear as if to block my escape route.
‘Why are you so belligerent?’
Even though they have different ecological chanisms from ordinary living things, they are still living things. When they are hungry, they eat, and when their compatriots die, they are afraid.
It is abnormal to be so focused on attacking when so many of our compatriots are dying.
‘When I think about it again, it’s strange that I even showed up here.’
To feed that many tallic gremlins, you need at least as much alloy as a space city. However, there are no tal structures and not many ships in this star system. Under normal circumstances, there would be no reason for them to show up here.
A large group that suddenly appears for no reason. Different behavior from the typical tallic gremlin.
I’ve seen sothing similar to this before.
‘Kesha Arma’s tallic Gremlins.’
Cynthia, a player from the Returned Sect, once brought in a large group to fight . Even then, they showed strange movents.
‘Could it have been sent by the player?’
When I thought about that, I felt my blood run cold.
If this is a trap, I am now in great danger. Because you never know when players will co here.
While I paused for a mont, they quickly narrowed the siege. The enemies that appeared from the front focused only on climbing on and eating away at my outer skin. Even before it ca into my mouth and was about to be eaten, it didn’t stop biting.
‘…We need to get out of here as quickly as possible.’
[Zuz zuzuzu (Help everyone)]
Unless I abandon ship, the characteristics I can use are limited. Here, I won’t have to clean it up alone, but I’ll have to get help from other kids.
“It’s a fight!”
“Outside” “The sll” “It’s strange”
“It seems there are more enemies than I thought.”
Number 26, Adhai, and Mother of Heaven, who received my wavelength, prepared for battle.
“We will help too.”
“Sister, wait a mont. “We can’t do that.”
[Zuz zuzu zuzuzu (the two of you stay)]
PS-111 also wanted to apply, but Isabelle and I stopped them.
A significant portion of his and Isabel’s bodies are made of tal. If you make a mistake and the part that controls your brain is attacked, it can be a big problem.
So, except for two, the rest ca out.
“I thought it was a lot, but what is this…?”
As soon as she ca out, Heaven’s Mother was surprised to see a swarm of silver monsters. Transforming into griffon form, she imdiately sprayed out agate-colored particles that controlled pressure. The enemies around her were instantly crushed.
｢enemy｣｢forrly｣｢eldest adult｣｢bullied｣｢mood｣｢bad｣
Aadhai, who rembered that I had previously been in trouble because of the tallic Gremlin, donned the ‘Red Armor’ and began the slaughter. It ramd into its enemies and turned them into pieces of at.
“The little one is right! These are the kids who bullied my eldest baby! “I will scold all the bad kids!”
The last issue, No. 26, also entered battle mode. The body of the guy floating in space grew rapidly. At the sa ti, nurous eyes appeared on the pink skin.
Enemies flinched as their eyes, made of psychic power, shone. Sea Demon’s unique skill, ‘Fear of the Deep’, is activated, showing a terrifying illusion to enemies.
‘good. We have to get rid of them quickly…’
Suddenly, all the tallic gremlins around started running towards No. 26. Including all the guys who were fighting with Heavenly Mother and Adhai.
｢Wait?!｣
｢Little Adult｣｢Danger!｣
Not only that, but the group behind also started traveling at faster than light speeds around No. 26. It was a natural movent, as if this was the goal from the beginning.
‘shit!’
There is a wide gap between a semi-raid boss-level creature, the Sea Demon, and a re tallic gremlin. Even if hundreds or thousands of them attack, it is difficult to injure No. 26.
But there are more than tens of thousands of enemies fighting us now. Even if he can’t win against No. 26, there’s a good chance he will inflict fatal injuries.
I quickly moved to the front of No. 26 and intercepted the enemies.
I used all the ans at my disposal, including the tail, the mouth, and the guns on the ship.
Thousands of them died in an instant, but the number of enemies was much greater than that. As many people as there were dead clung to No. 26.
｢Big baby!｣
‘Abandon ship…!’
Just when I tried to protect it by imdiately canceling the erosion, No. 26, covered in tallic gremlins, shined.
‘huh?’
A monster with tal skin so close together that it looks like a silver jellyfish. The light flowing through the gap had nothing to do with pain.
The color of that light was the color that appeared when No. 26 was in a good mood.
｢■■■｣
｢■■■｣
｢Itchy!｣
They wrapped No. 26’s body tightly and did nothing. It looked truly comfortable, like a baby being held in its mother’s arms.
Number 26 fluttered its fins as if it was tickled by their actions.
｢What is it?｣｢What is it?｣
｢…Is tallic Gremlin acting cute on her now?｣
Aadhai and the Mother of Heaven say a word each ti they see this.
‘What happened?’
I used to surprise and deceive others, but now it was the opposite.
The unimaginable sight made , like them, just stare blankly.
