Episode 159

There are quite a few special mutants.

If you add up all the ones that appeared in the original, there are about 20 of them. That’s quite a lot, but if I had to pick the most difficult ones, there were three.

‘Monster, Blade Ears, Hive Mother.’

Among the special mutants, these are the ones that have the strongest powers and also give the best rewards.

If only I could handle these guys.

‘The remaining special mutants can be easily subdued.’

This is because the buffs and accessories they give are excellent. So you have to get off to a good start.

It’s like rolling a snowball.

And if possible, you should deal with all the special mutants before attacking the Seed of Evolution.

‘Otherwise, when you attack the Seed of Evolution, special mutants will swarm you.’

A special mutant for the Legion Commander.

If you fight these at the same time, you won’t win. You should deal with the special mutants first, so that you can make the Seed of Evolution strategy easier.

“Ah, Mr. Baek Sa-jun! Is that you?”

“Hold the shield! If it breaks, it’s X!”

“I know, I know. I know how to maintain it.”

As I was lost in my thoughts, the hunters came.

Baek Sa-jun pointed to the warehouse without saying a word.

“Oh, and please ventilate before going in.”

“You say we need to ventilate the inside of the warehouse?”

“Yes. I have ventilated the room, but there will still be poison inside. Be careful when entering if you don’t want to be poisoned like those mutants.”

“I, like that.”

The corpses of mutants were seen in the warehouse.

The mutants were dead, discolored and blue. Some had completely melted away.

The hunters who saw the appearance of the addicted mutants trembled and hurriedly ventilated the warehouse.

“Wow, there’s a lot of food?”

“I think I can hold out for quite a while! I’ll take care of the things that need to be consumed quickly today… … .”

“Is there anyone who knows how to cook?”

The hunters began to move food.

Baek Sa-jun watched them from a distance and summoned the two subordinates.

It was Iria and Cerberus.

‘It looks like he wasn’t forcibly summoned, so he didn’t get hurt by the legionnaires.’

If you are forcibly summoned, it takes time until you can summon again, which is annoying.

Baek Sa-jun summoned Iria again.

Jinjo, who appeared in front of him, suddenly started moving his hands busily and started explaining something.

– Ooh, ooh. Ooh… … .

“What, Inma. Speak, speak.”

– Woof woof… … .

“It’s so toxic, so toxic. It doesn’t give up on the concept.”

Baek Sa-jun clicked his tongue.

If we were to interpret Iria’s words, it would be as follows:

– I discovered a safe zone while fighting the legionnaires. The location is… … .

Baek Sa-jun remembered the location that Iria had told him about. But that location seemed familiar.

It had to be that way.

“It’s near where the colony mother appears.”

It’s a bit far, but not that far.

Baek Sa-jun was lost in thought. Should he stop by the safe zone first or strike the colony mother first?

‘The latter would be better.’

There is no need to rush to the safe zone.

This is because Baek Sa-jun would have become somewhat safer after strengthening his ‘Will to Resistance’ by level 2.

[The level of ‘Will to Resistance’ is shared by all safe zones.]

The good news was that the strengthening of the ‘Will to Resistance’ applied to all safe zones.

Rather than applying individually to each safe zone, all safe zones can receive the same effect.

“On the way to catch the colony mother, I might as well take a look around to see what other safe areas there are.”

– Ooooh, ooooh.

“You think so too? Okay.”

Baek Sa-jun got up from his seat.

You can leave the food to the hunters. It’s dangerous to stay here for too long.

Because it can attract the attention of the legionnaires.

“Let’s go. We have to do what we have to do.”

The colony mother must be dealt with.

Baek Sa-jun walked through the ruined streets, wearing the used by the skeleton.

* * *

Daejeon Yuseong-gu, ruins.

It was a normal street before the seeds of evolution appeared, but now it has collapsed.

The mastermind was walking through the ruins.

– Kki, ah, gaaaaa… … .

At first glance, it looks like a giant bear.

But if you look closely, you can see that it’s not just a simple bear, but a number of mutants woven together to form a giant bear.

And one more thing.

– Clang! Clang!

– Ughhhhhhh… … .

There were numerous eggs embedded on the bear’s back.

The eggs cracked and wriggled, and somewhat smaller mutants poured out from inside.

The egg that released the mutants melted and new eggs sprouted on its back.

[Mother of the colony.]

That was the bear’s individual name.

A monster created by a colony of numerous mutants, and can continue to create mutants with its own power as long as it has sufficient nutrients.

– Ugh, ahh, ahhh… … .

The swarm mother walked out of the ruins, letting out a strange, ear-piercing scream.

To find new food to nourish them, just like the humans they ate when they were first born.

– Kkieeee, eeee… … .

The colony mother bowed her head.

I saw corpses strewn around. People who had died before they were mutated, and dead mutants.

This also becomes the nutrients for laying eggs.

The bastard opened his mouth.

-Whoooosh!

– Kkiei, ah, aaaah!

At that moment, a fierce flame engulfed the swarm mother.

From the head of the man who bowed his head to his back, the scorching breath of hell and the flames burned him.

– Kkwadkku!

– Krrrr… … !

And a monster fell from the sky. Cerberus sank its claws into the hive mother.

The bastard’s body was frozen for a moment.

– Taaaaaang!

Three bullets were fired in quick succession.

It was a magic bullet fired by Magnus while riding on top of Cerberus. A large-caliber bullet that explodes the moment it hits the enemy, and two reinforced bullets.

The magic contained in Matan has been revealed.

– Clang!

– Saaaaa… Jeez!

As the space in all directions split apart, numerous chains appeared between them and pierced the mother swarm.

The sphere of bitter cold that follows.

A number of spheres containing the bitter cold rotated, freezing the mutants that made up the colony mother.

– Kkiei, aaaah!

– Krrrrrr… … !

The colony mother screamed.

The mutants that made up the thing burned, froze, and fell apart as they shattered.

But that was only for a moment, as another mutant crawled out from within and built its body.

– Kkaaaaaaah!

And the mother swarm shaking violently.

The eggs that sprouted on its back hatched all at once, giving birth to countless mutants. And it quickly created new eggs and gave birth to more.

– Kwaaaaah!

– Gaaaaaah!

Hundreds of mutants were created in an instant and leapt towards Cerberus and Magnus.

That was the power of the colony mother.

The power to create an overwhelming number of mutants in an instant. But that doesn’t mean the main body is weak.

– Kkiei, aaaah!

– Keuheuheu!

The hive mother held Cerberus with both feet, its claws deeply embedded in her body.

Then, the mutants that formed its feet transformed into long tentacles and pierced Cerberus.

Cerberus screaming in pain.

– Kkaaaaaaah!

“That thing is hideous.”

The moment the swarm mother, who had pinned Cerberus down with her tentacles, tried to bite him.

I heard a snapping sound.

– Kwaaaaang!

And then the corpses explode.

The corpses strewn across the ground exploded all at once, engulfing the swarm mother and her mutants.

And then someone rushed through the explosion.

– Kwaaaaah!

It was a skeleton.

The guy who charged in in an instant absorbed the blood around him and created a .

A wave of blood melted the mutants.

And then he immediately raised the on his blade, then jumped while kicking the ground.

– Crunch!

– Kkieeeeee… … !

“Cerberus! Don’t miss!”

An ominous sword energy cut down the tentacles in one stroke.

As if it had been waiting for that moment, Cerberus erupted into flames from all over its body. Then, it pierced the swarm mother with its feet, which had been strengthened by .

It was to prevent the guy from escaping.

‘The colony mother is fast for her size.’

If the situation is judged to be unfavorable, they will create numerous mutants and use them as bait before running away.

That was to prevent that.

– Kkaaaaaaah!

– Kyaaaaah!

A swarm mother lets out a scream of rage.

As if responding to the bastard’s roar, the mutants he had created kicked the ground, targeting Baek Sa-jun and his followers.

That number alone is in the hundreds.

If you take into account the number of eggs that the colony mothers continue to lay, the number will soon surpass a thousand.

‘A number that an ordinary hunter would be unable to handle.’

But it’s a different story for necromancers.

Baek Sa-jun caused a commotion. As the sands of death blew in, corpses rose up around him.

Corpses that were resurrected as undead. quickly enveloped the undead.

“Stop the mutants.”

– Ghhhhhhhhh!

– Gooooooo!

The undead charged.

Two golems trampled the approaching mutants, and the Death Knights ran through the ruins, cutting down the mutants that blocked their path.

Then, Dark Paladin emitted an ominous light, and along with it, Baek Sajun also cast a curse.

– grants the friendly undead an impure light. The undead are strengthened.

– The colony mother is inflicted with the . The weakens the mutants.

An ominously black light.

The undead, strengthened by the Dark Paladin’s skills, clashed with the mutants and engaged in a fierce battle.

– Kiaaaaah!

– Gooooo… … !

In the process, quite a few undead were destroyed by mutants, but it didn’t matter.

That’s because so many mutants died, and their corpses were soon resurrected as undead.

This place, with its many corpses, was Baek Sa-jun’s stage.

‘Then, slowly… … .’

Taking advantage of the gap between the undead and the mutants, the three factions launched a joint attack on the swarm mother.

Baek Sa-jun raised his head.

“Iria.”

The colony mother’s gaze was focused on the three groups.

And that was the moment Baek Sa-jun had been waiting for. Iria, who had turned into fog, transcended space.

Iria appears on the back of the swarm mother who was fighting her followers. She raises both arms high.

– Phew!

– Kkiei, eeeek… …?!

And then he thrust his claws, sharp as blades, deep into the body of the colony mother.

Crimson blood flowed down her fingernails and soon seeped into the body of the colony mother.

– Pushy profit!

– Kkieeeek!

The sound of rotting flesh spread.

The blood that had seeped into the swarm mother’s body was corroding her flesh. The swarm mother writhing in pain. Iria and the skeleton moved.

– Crunch!

The Bloodstained Sword and the Hellfire Sword simultaneously cut off both of the Hive Mother’s legs. The Blizzard-infused magic bullets fired in succession struck the severed sections of her legs.

And Cerberus crushed him.

– Kuuuung!

A colony mother that is buried in the ground.

The two legs that were about to regenerate and stick together were rolling on the ground because the cut surfaces were frozen.

The creature screamed in agony and tried to spawn more mutants, but it was too late.

– Kkieeeeeek!

The attack by the retinue destroyed the egg before that.

And before the swarm mother could come to her senses, Baek Sa-jun’s undead latched onto him.

They were undead injected with .

– Kwaaaaang!

– Push profit!

Venom Ghoul, the undead exploded, engulfing the hive mother in a venomous blast enhanced by her poison.

As its body decayed, it gave off a foul stench.

I tried to play it quickly, but the poison was so strong that the playback speed couldn’t keep up.

“I’ll send it neatly.”

– Kki, eeeek… …!

Baek Sa-jun used .

A reaper appears behind him. A giant scythe splits the body of the swarm mother, and countless souls emerge from the cut surface, exploding all at once.

– Kkeue, ah, ah… … .

The swarm mother collapsed, unable to withstand the repeated attacks. The mutants that made up its body fell away and tried to run away.

Baek Sa-jun didn’t miss them.

“Kill them all without missing a single one.”

– Kwaaaaah!

The group that hunted the mutants that formed the colony mother. It wasn’t difficult to deal with them since their numbers had already been greatly reduced.

And when they were all dead.

– Special mutant, ‘Mother Colony’ is dead.

– Special rewards are given.

The colony mother is completely dead.

And between the bastard’s corpse, the rewards that Baek Sa-jun had been waiting for appeared.

Evolution crystals and special accessories.

But there was no time to confirm that.

– Kiiing!

It was because a sharp mechanical sound was heard.

Beyond that, new enemies appeared.

“You’re here.”

They were legionnaires.

But Baek Sa-jun had a smile on his face when he saw them. It couldn’t be helped.

‘This is a good opportunity to check the effectiveness of the accessories.’

Because it was such good timing for him.
