Ch.126126. Evolved Dinosaur

Clearly, Cheongi tried to protect me. At the last moment.

To be honest, I didn’t know where I was running to.

I just ran blindly.

I thought we had reconciled. I thought once we got through this incident, we could go back to how things were before.

But now, there’s no going back to how things were.

Yu Deokmin.

Before the regression, we had a good relationship, but not anymore.

He’s the worst being who turned this academy into a mess.

That bastard.

I’ll definitely kill you with my own hands.

My emotions were boiling over.

All I had left to do was one thing: request help using Cheongi’s smartwatch.

But my hands were trembling.

It’s not fear. This is because of anger.

I have to kill that bastard. No matter what!

I don’t know how far I’ve run, but the atmosphere remained strange.

I took out my card and checked my points.

DNA Points: 35,050

This is enough. Enough to become a monster that can catch him.

-Purchase Evolution

The evolution card began to glow. At that moment, my feelings were simple.

I just wanted something powerful and massive enough to tear that bastard to shreds.

Ferociously.

A voice speaks seductively in my mind.

Yes, that’s right. I need to become ferocious. Otherwise, my mind won’t be at peace.

Among countless silhouettes, everything needed to deal with him was being combined.

[Species]

[Add DNA Beast]

I need more overwhelming firepower and savagery. I need to become bigger.

With all my wishes, the evolution began.

I just need to be able to discharge powerful destructive force. To project firepower and counterattack mercilessly.

With all my resentment, I finally reached evolution.

I can see it. How my form is changing.

Not bipedal, but four legs struck the ground. Each foot was adorned with bone-white metal.

On my back covered with those metals, there were missile batteries on both sides, and similarly, there were ejection ports wrapped in pure white bone on my flanks.

Data comes in. I assess the terrain. I confirm my evolved information.

As I stepped on the ground with these feet, I saw a monster approaching.

One of the batteries on my back rotated in that direction.

[Tracking Missile]

As a missile was fired, annihilation-level destruction occurred right in front of me.

The monster disappeared without a trace. Points came in, but I felt nothing.

My vision was focused solely on the enemy. In this storm, the others are in danger.

They’re in danger.

[I’ll kill him.]

To help…

[To kill]

I move.

[I move to kill.]

I rushed forward with my enraged body.

Mahanaga is what’s known as an alpha species. A high-ranking individual that dominates other monsters and rules tyrannically.

The Magician Guild’s operation had certainly succeeded. But Mahanaga’s roar and absorbing power were faster than they expected.

Mahanaga’s body had grown to about 15 meters. Though not as powerful as when Jo Seonghui fought it in the past, it was enough to capture the three people here.

But even in this desperate situation, they didn’t give up.

Jo Seonghui had anticipated the worst-case scenario.

The Magician Guild had already been advancing since the rescue was completed.

So if they could just hold out, they could somehow buy time.

But things didn’t go as planned.

The Magician Guild’s entry team was being blocked by the monsters here, which would delay them.

“See? Nothing ever comes easy.”

Aerial broke the syringe. She had absorbed it into her sword, Gram.

“Hide me. Just once is all I need.”

At Aerial’s words, the other two immediately used their abilities.

Though they disappeared from sight, it was certain they were still here.

Yu Deokmin went berserk and began firing powerful energy lasers.

Lightning riding the wind and lasers fired indiscriminately in all directions, making it impossible for anyone to escape.

And first, one of those responsible for the concealment fell.

The two revealed people were targeting Yu Deokmin.

Not long after, even the one providing flight fell. And finally.

Surprisingly, Aerial was right below Yu Deokmin.

A spot difficult to detect due to his massive size.

Even Aerial was soon struck by lightning, but her throwing skills remained powerful.

Gram, containing the syringe, shot up like lightning.

The moment this strike hit, Yu Deokmin felt a violent rejection reaction from within.

Aerial flipped her middle finger.

[This was being developed as an antidote to the red powder. It was over a decade ago. To prevent Mahanaga from absorbing it, we used the corpse of the ‘Spiral Goat’ with opposing characteristics.]

[I heard the two species don’t get along in Crevasse?]

[That’s right. Their characteristics are opposite. Absorption and emission. I wanted to experiment with this but failed. It was too dangerous. But when the opponent is a monster, the more dangerous, the better, right?]

The last silk pouch left by Jo Seonghui contained a drug made from the cells of Mahanaga’s rival, the Spiral Goat.

The moment the power of emission, opposite to absorption, mixed in, Mahanaga lost function in mid-air.

Yes. They should escape in this gap. If only the Magician Guild would arrive in time.

But they weren’t coming. Aerial was supporting the two instructors with her tired body as they fled.

“Aerial. Go ahead.”

“Shut up. It’s my choice. I can do this much!”

She tried hard to run and survive, but soon she was pushed back by an intense force from behind.

“Ugh!”

Her back felt scorching hot, and pain spread throughout her body.

“Are you okay?”

She was looking after the two who had been badly injured while helping her.

They were unconscious, but fortunately, their injuries weren’t fatal.

“Ugh!”

Turning her head in the midst of the impact that nearly made her lose consciousness, she could hear Yu Deokmin’s laughter.

[Your pathetic state is amusing, Aerial. Die!]

Just as lightning was about to be fired again, a thunderous sound like a fighter jet passing by echoed.

It exploded in the air. Enough to make even the powerful Mahanaga stagger for a moment.

“!”

She heard massive footsteps. At this moment, Aerial recalled someone in her mind.

‘Could it be?’

A dinosaur.

When she turned her head, an incomparably massive body appeared. While Mahanaga was certainly huge, the entity that appeared now seemed twice as large. Above all, it had a massive body structure like a beast.

It was moving.

Aerial felt a chill. It was definitely a dinosaur.

But it was different from before.

The black-skinned dinosaur, seemingly impenetrable with its hard, protruding skin, was approaching with bone-white metal wrapped around it.

The upper part of its face was also covered with what looked like bones, with horns rising menacingly.

But what was most different was the launcher on its back.

Two were attached near the waist, and another hung on the back.

There were also turret-like structures mounted near the shoulders.

This four-legged creature. Moving like a wingless dragon, it shook the ground as it passed.

Aerial focused more on its eyes than on the contrasting white and black body.

‘It’s angry.’

Different from its ferocious face. Purely eyes with an angry expression.

That’s why she felt a sense of fear.

‘…’

Angry? At what? Aerial felt a momentary pang of sadness.

She hurriedly picked up the two people with both hands and moved.

She also placed Cheongi’s corpse on her shoulder and began to run.

*

Yu Deokmin was bewildered by what shouldn’t be happening.

‘Mahanaga can control monsters with its roar. That’s why I absorbed it…’

His knowledge rivals that of Do Jonghyun. That’s why he used this roar and absorption to grow with the power of surrounding monsters.

‘I… I am Mahanaga itself! I can surpass Jo Seonghui!’

It was the perfect opportunity to eliminate Aerial and Do Jonghyun.

But now a strange monster appeared before his eyes.

It boasted a quadrupedal form larger than himself.

It had a form similar to a Brachiosaurus, but with a short neck and more of a feeling of a large predator.

Black skin contrasting with armor in the form of white bones. Strange devices were attached on top of its back.

[A monster I’ve never seen before.]

Yu Deokmin soon realized there was no need to ask.

If it attacked him, it was an enemy. He tried to rise into the air to intercept the enemy that couldn’t fly.

But the launchers on its shoulders and back all opened fire at once.

[Tracking Missile]

Countless missiles were being fired from there.

[Does it think it’s some kind of battleship?]

Yu Deokmin tried to counter with lightning and lasers, though incredulous.

But this missile barrage was stronger than he thought.

Above all, the missiles were emitting powerful electric shocks with their explosive aftermath.

These electric shocks covered all his attacks.

The moment they broke through his defense and hit his body directly, he felt another staggering pain.

Not just one. This time they came in volleys.

Each one was heavily tormenting Yu Deokmin.

As Yu Deokmin couldn’t hold on and fell, he saw something rising from below.

[Levitation]

The dinosaur was ascending through the launchers attached to its sides.

Not the free movement of a flying creature, but literally levitation. But what mattered was that it had gotten close to him.

At this moment, the launchers rotated, changed direction, and were charging toward him.

[Claw Enhancement]

The moment the ferociously grown metal claws were swung, they reached him, infused with magic power.

Mahanaga’s body was instantly punctured and fell endlessly.

[Keogh… Keogh!]

In the midst of all the pain, Mahanaga’s body was trying to regenerate again.

And the armored dinosaur that had ended its levitation was glaring at him.

[Please…]

He tried to plead pathetically, but what came back was a ferocious roar. The monster began to crush the trembling Yu Deokmin with its front legs.

Once, twice, three times.

[Control Loss]

It began to slash ruthlessly and violently, without restraint.

[It hurts… It hurts…]

Even as he began to regenerate from being literally torn to pieces, what remained before Yu Deokmin was only the dinosaur’s strike, aiming at him with its mouth open.

[Gaia Flame]

A powerful laser like flames was literally grinding Mahanaga.

[Aaaaargh!]

Yu Deokmin’s scream echoed, and his consciousness grew dim. In the disappearing cells, Yu Deokmin’s consciousness gradually faded.

[Control]

At this moment, the dinosaur stopped all movement.

And as its form disappeared, a small human appeared in the circulation of magic power.

[Huh?]

He knew it better than anyone. It was Do Jonghyun.

[Do Jonghyun! So you’re the one… interfering with me until the end! No! I can’t lose to you again! Fuck!]

Feeling extreme anger, Yu Deokmin’s consciousness was extinguished.
