The promise with April was suddenly broken, but this was force majeure.

‘I was going to wait until the end, but if you do this, you’ll think I’m tired and gone.’

Shin Jeul was now glaring at the monster with an annoyed face.

I was trying to score points with April, but wouldn’t it be embarrassing if it ended up like this?

The good news is that as soon as it appeared, I realized it before anyone else.

“Let me see, you’re crawling on all fours?”

Until now, most monsters were bipedal, but this one crawls on all fours.

There is a monster in the shape of a jewel lizard whose entire body is studded with crystals.

It didn’t look unusual. Moreover, above all, it is quick.

Isn’t it suddenly running forward in an instant?

“!”

While Shin Jeul was hurriedly backing away, the lizard swung its tail.

The moment a storm passed under the Shinjeul Bridge, the surrounding buildings began to collapse like a landslide.

‘One hit with the tail? The scope is wider than simple tail slapping!’

The moment Shinjeul landed again, the lizard took advantage of its four-legged walking and attacked quickly.

Isn’t it like approaching from right in front of your nose and spreading your teeth?

“Hmm!”

Shin Je-ul was pushed backwards by the force and held on by holding on to the chin of the person trying to bite him.

“Hmm!”

[Kooo!]

A huge sound can be heard right in front of you. Shin Je-ul realized that he felt a strong load on both arms.

And one after another, his body is pushed, scraping the floor.

‘His rushing power and speed are excellent!’

A monster with strong rushing power and the ability to walk on all fours.

But he wasn’t embarrassed.

It’s strong, but that’s it.

If you don’t have any other special abilities, you can just strengthen yourself.

“I’m stronger than I thought, but I also brought a new skill, right?”

And the AI begins to show him new options.

Yes. Another skill gained by becoming Ultria Level 3.

[Form Change]

-enforce

And at this time, Ultria’s dark blue color began to glow and suddenly change.

The light was creating a red pattern on the clothes.

A new technology called Form Change is now being used for the first time before his eyes.

As a red pattern was engraved on his body, Shin Jeul felt as if his power to block the monster had weakened.

‘It’s not that I got weaker, I just got stronger.’

Shin Jeul felt as if he had gained the power of Lamia.

“Go!”

And he got up from his seat in an instant.

I grab the jaw of this crystal lizard monster and stand up again.

Feeling less than half the pressure than before, he grabbed the monster’s chin and started spinning it around.

The monster was thrown away with a strong wind, similar to a giant swing in professional wrestling.

Coo thump!

The monster rolled over on top of the broken building, and Shin Jeul started running.

But his body somehow feels heavier than he expected.

‘This is slow speed.’

Shin Jeul felt it instinctively even without saying it. As with all changes, if there are parts that become stronger, the parts that become weaker are obvious.

[AI reports.]

-We need to improve our fighting style through form changes.

However, the effect that offsets the shortcomings is certain.

Lamia, which values power more than anything, must accumulate its power before using it, and this is application.

‘From now on, I will have to use it well in conjunction with other blueprints.’

As soon as he finished calculating in his head, Shin Je-ul threw his knee at the monster that was about to rip off its head.

However, perhaps because of its heavy body, the monster retreated back as quickly as possible.

And isn’t the tail containing the shock wave from earlier being swung?

“town!”

Shin Je-ul sees the tail for a moment and catches it exactly.

The shock wave emitted from the tail reaches the body.

The aftereffects could be heard throughout the body, but there was one thing that was different from before.

‘sick. But it’s worth it.’

Here is another advantage of this form change. I was able to survive the attack to some extent.

Shin Jeul pulled his tail again and ran at the same time.

I left behind the protruding crystals and lowered my knees toward the head.

A heavy sensation is conveyed, and this lizard monster finally falls.

‘Good.’ What about gene destruction rays?’

[Genetic destruction ray]

-72%

The gene destruction ray could not be used yet.

Meanwhile, this lizard monster also attacks Shinjeul’s legs with its tail.

“Hmm!”

At the same time, Shinjeul also fell, and streetlights and roads began to shatter along with it.

Shin Je-ul also stands up, fearing that the opponent will regroup and attack again.

However, the monster did not rush like before.

Isn’t it just that the crystals embedded in his body are starting to glow?

‘It’s dangerous.’

Shin Je-ul, who instinctively realized that the next attack was dangerous, got up and ran again.

[Equipped with blueprint]

-Laser cannon

His laser cannon fires straight and reaches the opponent.

“Huh?”

However, as the laser light began to be absorbed by the crystal on the monster’s back, something became strange.

As the crystals emit a brilliant light, doesn’t this lizard begin to grow even larger?

‘Are they absorbing light?’

Shin Jeul suddenly saw waves of light spreading from the crystal, forming a film.

‘Use the absorbed energy!’

What if this happens, and the gene destruction ray, which is also a ray machine, is blocked?

‘It could be dangerous if you use this carelessly.’

An important special move was sealed. When Shin Je-ul was worried for a moment, the monster, which became even bigger, began to charge.

The charge was clearly threatening, especially with the energy film surrounding the body.

Rather than blocking the blockage head on, Shin Jeul tried to avoid it.

However, if you calculate the weight caused by the form change, the resulting deceleration, and the lizard’s acceleration, it is a wrong choice.

Before he could dodge, the lizard pounced on him.

The lizard’s energy shield flashes and hits the entire body.

“Ugh!”

This time it was a pretty painful attack.

Shin Jeul stood up, but this monster rushed at him again.

With the impact, all the small windows in this area are broken and the road is cracked.

‘Slow. It’s definitely slowed down.’

Shin Jeul crashed into the building and rolled over.

Instead of being strong and resilient, this body is slow.

In this case, it is obvious that there will be a form change that increases speed.

In fact, there was another form change in the status display visible to his eyes.

[Acceleration]

Just by hearing the name, you can guess what form it will take. However, the acceleration form, on the other hand, will have less destructive power.

‘But my fighting method hasn’t changed. ‘You have to use form changes properly.’

Since it’s slow, it’s inevitable.

And as it slowed down, its defense and strength increased. What does that mean?

‘Let’s switch. It’s the same during competitions. It will depend on my physical condition.’

He abandoned his previous tactics.

As the opponent charged with Mak, who had once again absorbed energy, Shin Jeul did not dodge.

Normally, I would dodge and counterattack, but in this case, I literally used a body slam.

They felt a heavy sensation on each other’s bodies and jumped out.

However, Shin Jeul held his balance more stably than before and smiled.

‘It’s much easier to hold on!’

Yes. His body became stronger. If you change your form, you should utilize it there.

In keeping with his strong body, his fighting method was simple.

Just move forward and raise your guard thickly.

In that position, he started walking through the city, and the monster also started charging.

Shin Jeul could have used another blueprint, but he had no intention of using it.

This is because this form change must be properly absorbed into the body.

Change your tactics and defeat them accordingly.

Now, Ultria, who has this red pattern, strengthens her legs to meet the charging opponent.

Then, he slowly punched his fist like a telephone punch to break the energy membrane.

The fist collides with the membrane and collides. Shin Jeul’s body swayed and the lizard also hesitated for a moment.

‘Not yet.’

[AI explains.]

-Check the opponent’s attack pattern. A tail slap appears.

The opponent, who has already turned his body about one-third, once again casts a tail strike containing a shock wave.

“I already saw it! You idiot!”

But Shin Jeul instead rushed forward. The shock wave from the tail strike hits the body.

“Ugh!”

It hurts, but I can endure it.

Shin Jeul grabbed the opponent’s tail with his chest and threw it with all his might to the other side.

[~~~!]

The monster screamed as it floated in the air, and a huge vibration shook the area.

Shin Je-ul kicked his opponent in the face while he was struggling while his opponent was upside down.

Coo!

As the heavy blow entered the opponent, the monster staggered and fell down, weaker than before, and the man realized that it was time to finish him off.

[Genetic destruction ray]

-100%

The gene destruction ray had to be fired, but Shin Jeul hesitated for a moment.

This is probably because I saw it absorbing the laser earlier.

‘Is this okay?’

If it is absorbed again, it becomes really dangerous.

Therefore, Shin Je-ul paused for a moment and eventually realized that it was time to take out a new weapon.

Another weapon he created. A weapon to be used when the gene destruction ray cannot be used.

“It’s a short shell!”

The moment he shouts happily, the blueprint creates a hologram with blue light.

[Equipped with blueprint]

-Short shells

A new weapon was summoned, and short shells according to the blueprint began to slowly appear in front of him.

“This!”

A long, cylindrical, black cannon appears in front of him.

A handle to hold on the shoulder, a handle to hold in front, and a handle to pull the trigger in the back hand.

“Bazooka?”

The form was the commonly known bazooka.

However, it was characterized by a battery that was twice as thick as the slender bazooka.

The inside was described to Shin Jeul’s eyes, and there was already a small warhead inside.

[The gene destruction ray can be charged.]

“Are you coming!”

Shin Jeul saw his opponent come to his senses and stand up and immediately grabbed the bazooka.

With it draped over his shoulder, Shin Jeul finally takes aim at the enemy with the bazooka.

[Automatic aiming system activated]

He carries it on his shoulder and the HUD pops out like glasses to assist.

The aim moves and catches the enemy.

[Capture completed]

“Fire!”

Shin Jeul fires a cannonball without waiting. As soon as he presses the trigger, he feels a shock wave that causes his body to flinch.

“Hmm!”

But its power is outstanding.

It penetrated the opponent’s energy shield, went inside, and made contact with the body.

Soon the shell exploded.

Smoke and explosions rose high into the sky, and Shin Je-ul confirmed that the monster’s body was no longer visible.

“Do you like it?”

It blows cool. And explosion. It could be said to be an herbal medicine that condenses a man’s romance.

Shin Je-ul now stretched out his hand with a satisfied face. Because I have to disappear from here along with the pillar of light.

***

Although this huge disaster was sorted out, April’s expression was not so bright.

‘If you do this, your part-time job will be lost again!’

I applied because the hourly wage was higher than that of construction work, but my part-time job was lost due to a fight between giants.

Of course, part-time work has stopped. Because it was a natural disaster, I had no choice but to receive only one day’s wages.

“Ha.”

April trudged out of the collapsed building with regret.

She looked left and right just in case.

“Did you go? It has to be that way.”

How can you be there when a giant and a monster are fighting?

‘If you’re going to wait for me, I’ll wait until the end… It must have been unreasonable, right?’

April shook her head.

Because it was not a normal situation. It was a time when I was trudging along, exhausted, without even knowing why I had such expectations.

“It’s over. April?”

“…!”

April turns directly to where the voice came from.

There, Shin Jeul was smiling, looking tired.

“Shin Jeㅇ… No, what is God? Were you there?”

“I was avoiding it well. So, can you continue your part-time job?”

“It was ruined. Giants and monsters worked hard to destroy it.”

“Really… I can’t help it.”

For this brief moment, Shin Je-ul looked somewhat sorry, but April didn’t notice.

That’s because other emotions took precedence.

“What are you talking about? Still, you’re proud? Wait until the end.”

“Because I was the one who said I would come in the first place. I have to do this much.”

“Hey… you’re manly?”

At this time, April was slightly moved by Shin Jeul’s attitude.

Of course, she quickly abandoned that attitude.

“I made an appointment with someone. I woke up, but of course I have to wait.”

“It’s good to have cheer up.”

“Well, I still waited. good. What is God? Are you hungry? I’ll buy you something.”

April waved the envelope of cash she had received to Jeul Shin.

“I think I’m blessed.”

“Are you sure?”

April felt much more comfortable than before with Shin Jeul bowing slyly.

Although the meal itself was short-lived, she went home feeling the best she had felt in a while.
