Chapter 117

Weve arrived.

Lets go.

Six Heavy Walkers and one beast disembarked from the transport ship.

They had come here under Muriels orders to investigate if there were any survivors where the lightning had struck. Until a few hours ago, the lush land teeming with life had now become a desolate wasteland with only sand and death remaining.

They roamed the barren wasteland with various detection equipment activated, following Muriels command.

Huh? Hey! Theres something over here!

One of the walkers found traces left on the ground and called out to his comrades. As another walker approached with metallic clinks, he recorded the traces with the camera attached to the walker.

Leader, did you see this? There are dragging marks.

[Han, that crazy monster. Isnt it dead?]

It seems not.

[Ask the mother of the sky. Check how its doing.]

Yes.

One of the walkers pulled a large chain in his hand. The mother of the sky, bound by the chain around her neck, was dragged along lifelessly.

Gah!

Hey, this matches the creatures traces.

The one we know walks on two legs, but here, there are marks of dragging. What happened?

[Its better to speak honestly if you dont want to see your family die.]

Wait.

The mother of the sky reluctantly examined the traces in detail. Using her superior senses that surpassed advanced machinery, she grasped the condition of the target that left the tracespartially dragging his body, showing signs of injury with scattered pieces of skin between the dragging marks, and traces of acid reactions on the ground. Judging from the direction, he had entered the forest.

He dragged his body halfway. Hes injured, judging by the skin fragments between the dragging marks and the acid reactions on the ground. Judging from the direction, he entered the forest over there.

[Youre not lying, right?]

You can figure it out, cant you? Verify it if you want.

Currently, a special chip implanted by Muriel was lodged in the back of the mother of the skys head. It reads the wearers brainwaves to determine if they are lying or harboring impure thoughts. As long as this chip is implanted, the mother of the sky cannot speak falsehoods.

[Huh? Whatever. Its no surprise that he got injured after facing the gods.]

What should we do?

[He must not have gone far since hes injured. Find and kill him. If its the mother of the sky, you can kill it, right?]

If its an injured creature with a little strength, we can kill him.

[Hehe, did you guys hear that?]

Yes!

After the communication ended, the Heavy Walkers collected the scattered skin fragments and followed the traces leading to the forest.

Above their heads, the transport ship flew, confirming if there were traces continuing into the burning jungle.

Muriels subordinates had no doubt that they could easily eliminate the creature that left these traces. However, there was something they didnt know. Surely, the mother of the sky did not lie. Instead, she precisely answered only what Muriel had asked.

In the opposite direction that the walkers were heading, there were traces that the walkers did not discover. It was a partially collapsed pit. Many pits were formed by Redwoods or rocks, which were pulled out of the ground altogether. So, the pirates assumed it would be similar to other traces, but the mother of the sky with her extraordinary senses could perceive that it was a hole made by a serpent-like creature.

Ha, that Mofpbak. It evolved into an adult form by crawling.

The mother of the sky concealed the fact that she knew.

Her eyes, with a leash tied to the pirates, gleamed coldly.

When I begin a hunt, there are factors I check first: information, time, and location.

If I fight there, the attribute effect of Personification Sacrifice will shine.

Before evolving into a Quasi-Saint being, I acquired the attribute Personification Sacrifice in the swamp. On its own, it has no effect, but when corpses appear in the nest, the situation changes. If you possess the Personification Sacrifice attribute, the nest absorbs the corpses, providing the energy of the corpses to the owner of the nest. Even if limbs are severed, the energy absorbed through Personification Sacrifice accelerates my recovery, restoring me to my original state within minutes.

In other words, as long as corpses continue to be supplied, I become a living entity akin to a zombie.

Moreover, it can counter the Golden Spear.

I moved to find a new location to set up a nest. Since creating nests consumes a lot of energy, I didnt forget to intermittently supply energy.

Squeak?!

I seized a gorilla with an ant head using corrosive tentacles.

Named Andril, it is a carnivorous creature with specs surpassing those of a Nightstalker, but it was no match for me as a Quasi-Saint being.

If theres time, I would have liked to taste it.

Its regrettable that I cant.

After devouring a few more Andril, I found a suitable place to plant the nest and relaxed my body. As the mucus poured from my body and the nest was being created, a loud noise echoed from above.

Hmm?

It was the sound of a transport ship flying. The ship started low-altitude flight without caring about the covered trees. Then, seven large objects could be felt falling to the ground.

Have they already found me?

Even with a bio-scanner, finding me in this jungle is not easy. Detection devices often malfunction or reset in the middle.

Huh?

The enemies who landed from a distance began moving in a completely different direction as if they hadnt found me using the bio-scanner. They were heading towards the traces where I crawled here.

I dont know what happened.

I need to tidy up before the nest is compromised. Its more detrimental for the nest to be compromised than for me to be caught.

I released the link with the fourth nest I created and climbed up the tree silently.

Then, without a sound, I moved towards the location where the enemies were.

With my body elongated, if the distance between the trees wasnt too far, I extended my body to move, and if the distance was considerable, I utilized an aerial membrane.

After narrowing the distance with the enemies, I could see how they had pursued me.

Their formation consisted of six Heavy Walkers and one beast at the front.

The leading beast was something I had seen a few times in the game.

A Wolf that learned Divine Transformation?

A creature resembling a griffin from mythology, with the head of an eagle, the body of a lion, and a serpents tail. It was undoubtedly a Wolf.

Unlike Amorph, who aims for endless evolution, a wolfs journey to reclaim the divinity within his body plays a significant role in the story. a wolfs transformation ability is closely related to this setting. As he gets closer to divinity, he can transform into sacred beasts like griffins or unicorns, not ordinary animals.

Therefore, when a wolf transforms into a griffin, you can think of him as being between the stages of Ascendant and Quasi-Saint, compared to Amorph.

If its a griffin, its definitely possible, but its strange.

Because a griffins eyes are superior to Amorphs hyper-sensory abilities, it can track my traces even from high altitudes. I understand how they chased me on a transport ship, but theres a fundamental question remaining.

It seems like a named one, but why is it with pirates huh?

Observing the pirates while activating my camouflage, I turned my head for a moment, and our eyes met with the griffin.

It didnt seem to notice me and naturally turned its head. However, with Amorphs unique hyper-sensory perception, I could tell that it had recognized me but pretended not to.

I dont know why its acting like that.

Detailed information can be confirmed by capturing it directly. I cautiously moved towards the Heavy Walkers location.
