The Illegitimate Who Devours Weapons

Weapon-Eating Illegitimate Son Episode 34

Heart pounding.

The moment I looked at it, it started beating loudly like a heart.

Thump!

No, it wasn’t just the gochi that was pulsating, emitting that ominous aura.

My heart.

My heart was beating fast, pumping blood throughout my body.

‘Black flag? Why?’

The black flag resonated with that beat.

Something inside Kochi reacted with my black energy, and the black energy inside my body slowly began to flow out.

-… … Is it a job? … … Is it a job? … … Is it a job? … … .

At that moment, an unfamiliar voice suddenly cut off and dug into my ears.

-Not yet. Ah, you, what a long wait. Rim… … is… … the… … king… … here. Finally… … .

A voice that is becoming increasingly clearer.

There was no need to wonder whose voice it was.

The sound of voices is transmitted from inside that cocoon.

And it’s scary to realize that.

Jeok-.

The heteromorphic object split apart.

* * *

In modern times, as hunter tactics developed, the role of the desk began to be emphasized.

Briefing, situation control, communications, long-distance supply, and combat support through various observation equipment.

It was a time when not everyone on the front lines knew how to wield weapons.

And the one who is currently supporting Class 5 is none other than Lee Jeong-ho.

-All power has been joined.

Lee Jeong-ho nodded at Choi In-ha’s report.

Preparations were completed faster than planned.

It was thanks to the youngest master’s ability to attract attention better than expected, and the cadets’ operational capabilities being better than expected.

“Thank you for your hard work. A change in horsepower has been detected 50 meters ahead. It looks like a semi-adult class is approaching, so move to the northwest.”

-yes.

Lee Jeong-ho swallowed dry saliva and looked at the screen installed at the base camp.

My heart rate and blood pressure are a bit high, but considering how nervous I am, they’re still fine.

It seemed that the magical power of the dungeon was somewhat suppressed, but this was not serious.

‘Thanks to the youngest master’s attention, the cadets had enough time to adjust. We were able to avoid the worst situation of having to fight without even adjusting.’

It was a crazy plan.

It was a crazy plan, but… … somehow, the more I heard about it, the more I couldn’t refuse it.

This was because I had faith that if the method the youngest master had suggested was followed, it would not only be a simple mission but also a great success.

Lee Jeong-ho glanced at the time.

‘It’s been 10 minutes since the communication was cut off… … You must have arrived at the nest by now.’

The moment communication is established is the start time of the operation.

Until then, Lee Jeong-ho’s job was to properly monitor the monitor and brief the monsters in advance.

Beep be …

At that moment, the transmission equipment started beeping.

“what?”

The graph showing the distribution of magic power within the dungeon shook.

‘Is this an error?’

No matter how unstable the dungeon’s magic power is, it never increases so suddenly and explosively.

Lee Jeong-ho’s expression crumpled as he checked the fluctuating graph.

It’s not a device error.

In the middle of the dungeon.

The nest of the human-faced birds.

Lee Jeong-ho’s eyes trembled as he read the number that appeared next to the red dot.

“Grade 5… … ?”

The magical power level that was constantly increasing finally surpassed the limits of the special 6th level dungeon.

* * *

It wasn’t a fix.

It was an egg.

It was the very anomalous phenomenon of the Forest of Human Faces that was given to Class 5 as a mission, born from this dungeon.

Jeez-!

A huge, blade-like leg extends out through the cracks of the split egg shell.

Sticky mucus was scattered everywhere, and a huge, heterogeneous shape appeared.

-iced coffee…….

Upper body human, lower body spider.

Where the head of the human-faced beast should be, the upper body of a human woman was stretched out, and from the waist down, a massive torso three times the size of a normal adult human-faced beast was revealed.

-Keeeeeek!

The adults guarding the eggs began to scream.

The unidentified ‘something’ that walked out stared blankly at the sky.

I swallowed dry saliva.

I can see that.

That monster is stronger than any of the human-faced people here.

The surprise didn’t end there.

-Keeeeeek.

Very slowly, the half-human, half-beast monster lowered its head and looked around at the human-faced monks.

-Children, I’m hungry.

Said.

A monster from a mere 6th level dungeon speaks human language.

‘No. I didn’t open my mouth. But how on earth… …!’

It’s not that there aren’t monsters that speak, but usually only when they’ve learned human language or are transmitting their consciousness to humans through thoughts.

But I was reading the consciousness of that monster regardless of its will.

‘Could it be a black flag?’

This has never happened before.

But that was the only reason I could think of.

-Kick! Kick!

The adults made their way together in unison.

The half-human, half-beast monster, walking leisurely like a queen, slowly climbed up the spider web and placed its mouth on the top of the hanging cocoon.

and.

Wood crack!

The moment the monster’s hand touched it, the sound of the gochi quickly crumpling and the skin twisting could be heard.

At the same time, a red mist-like magical power flowed out from Kochi and began to be absorbed by the monster.

‘Predation. It’s the ability of a superior monster.’

Now I know why there are so many of them gathered together.

‘If there’s a monster like that, there’s no way I haven’t seen it in the Pokedex. So… … is this a new dungeon that was created?’

In that case, that monster is essentially the leader of the human-faced people that this dungeon created.

If I had to give it a name, it would be the boss monster, the queen of the human-faced monsters.

The food stored in the cocoon is for the queen, not the liquids.

The reason the adults gathered was to protect their queen who was not yet perfect.

‘That’s not what we need to worry about now.’

A variable has appeared in the plan.

In the short time it took for the monster to satisfy its hunger, its head turned quickly.

When making plans, I didn’t expect there to be any variables at all, but this is too big of a variable to proceed as is.

There is still no information about the monsters, and the adults that should be scattered throughout the dungeon are gathered in one place.

‘… … variable. Is that really a variable?’

The moment I thought about it that far.

My eyes lit up.

My sixth sense is ringing the alarm.

Abdomen, directly in front.

Something is flying!

bang!

He swung his sword and defended himself immediately.

The spider web that had been wrapping me burst open.

I never even thought about maintaining the silver spoon.

The momentum of the incoming attack was so great that I had no choice but to immediately summon my magical power.

-What are you?

Hot! Hot!

The queen slowly approached me, climbing the trees and spiderwebs.

-What woke me up… … is inside you. Why is it that humans, that, that… … .

I put my hand to my ear.

-Give it to me!

Phew!

The queen suddenly unleashed her magical power.

The moment I accepted the strong sound waves that surged in with the magical power, my body staggered.

Peer.

The cry of a predator that subdues lower-level creatures.

But it doesn’t work on me.

simplicity and honesty-.

The black energy spread out as if it was going to cover my entire body, swallowing up all of Pier’s energy.

-This cheeky guy!

That moment.

Kwaaaaang!

The ground shook violently with a loud explosion.

The queen who had been hanging on the tree fell to the ground, and numerous adults trembled and screamed.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

A fire raged across the dark forest.

The Queen’s face shuddered.

-My forest… …?

The fire began to spread through the forest at a tremendous speed, like flowing oil.

-What the hell have you done!

It has begun.

The ear that was touched just before facing the Queen. There is a walkie-talkie installed there.

Receiving the radio again was the signal to begin the operation.

-It started! Let’s do it right now!

-Group 1! Let’s go! Please hold on as long as you can until we arrive!

I used my magical power to strengthen my entire body and glared at the queen.

“It’s a weapon called a magic bullet. Thankfully, this pesky nest has plenty of things to burn.”

Magic explosion bullet.

It was a firearm created by humans using magic stones.

An explosive that uses surrounding magical energy as fuel rather than being detonated by gunpowder.

The forest of the Inmyeonju is a place where spider webs with fine magical powers flow tightly. There is ample firewood.

-This is the base camp! Your Majesty, we just detected a level 5 magical power in the nest you are currently in. It seems like… …!

“I’m done. Just make sure to support the cadets first!”

A thick murderous aura flowed from the Queen’s face.

-Children! Quickly! Quickly, protect my forest!

Dozens of adults that had been huddled in the nest with the will of the human face all spread out into the forest.

The Queen’s Face revealed her huge fangs to me.

-You… … I will chew and swallow you myself.

I swallowed dry saliva and pushed my magical power into Mujin.

* * *

Choi In-ha shouted as soon as he heard the communication.

“Operation begins! Group 1, head straight to the nest!”

“Wait a minute. You said there was a variable in the nest! Are you sure we can just push through like this?”

Despite Kim Bo-seong’s shouts, Choi In-ha raised his sword without hesitation.

“It’s what the master instructed! It’s going according to plan!”

Class 5’s plan was like this.

First. After Lee Chul was captured, the original purpose was to film.

Second. While Lee Cheol is running wild and running around the forest, attracting attention, the cadets are installing explosives throughout the forest.

Lastly, Lee Cheol detonates a flare as a signal to reconnect the communication. Part of Squad 5 infiltrates, avoiding the eyes of the adults who spread out in all directions to put out the fire, and escapes with Lee Cheol.

It may sound like an easy and perfect plan when you just hear it, but it was actually crazy.

The reason why we don’t use firearms in dungeons is simple.

Gunpowder weapons that have not been magically activated will only work on lower-level monsters, and in the case of firearms that have magical effects, there is no way to know what kind of negative effects they will have on the already unstable state of the dungeon.

Moreover, it is not very admirable for a child of the Sungmu family, which worships strength, to use firearms.

But Lee Cheol didn’t care.

-Anyway, all we care about is the success of the mission. Besides, the orders didn’t say not to use firearms or burn down the dungeon.

Lee Cheol continued speaking with a sly smile.

-And… … Originally weak to spiders, insects, and fire.

Kwaaaaang!

The team that joined Lee Chul was Group 1, led by Kim Han.

The cadet team of Choi In-ha and Kim Bo-seong aims to secure an escape route.

Choi In-ha looked at Kim Bo-seong.

“How many grenades are left?”

“I gave each person three. What about you?”

“We are similar.”

-Keeeeeeeek!

The forest is in an uproar.

The smell of burning corpses and the screams of monsters echoed everywhere as the distant flames encroached upon the forest.

“That’s enough. Don’t be stingy and detonate them while you secure the escape route.”

Kwaaaaang!

The sound of another explosive grenade exploding rang out.

* * *

The adults were all scattered in all directions.

Now all that remains is the Queen’s Mask.

– You presumptuous human child. How can you do it all by yourself, even if none of my children are there? Do you trust your fellows who are running towards the nest?

“… … .”

-You’re stupid. My children have run off in all directions, and I don’t know if you’ll be able to get here in time. You can’t do anything to me…

I know.

Even though I had activated my aura, the monster standing before me was a 5th-level monster belonging to the upper-level group.

5th grade, boss monster, mutant.

If just one of them appears, it would be a problem, but if there are three of them mixed together, it would be a problem.

But even such a dangerous creature is still just a newly born spider.

“You are the one who takes me too lightly.”

I closed my eyes tightly and slowly opened them again.

Woof-.

A soft light like sunset filled my eyes.
