Chapter 101: 101
Ep. 101
"When do you think the repairs will be finished?"
"How many hours will it take?"
"Haha, it took a long time. Oh, and the camera seems to be damaged, so let's fix that too."
I answered that I understood and ended the communication.
'Let's rearrange it.'
I thought as I chewed on the engineer's arm.
What should I do first before taking control of the ship?
The original plan was to secure energy to maintain control after invading the pirate ship.
This is because it was thought that if there was a lack of energy after the erosion was completed, control of the ship would soon be lost.
'But things have changed a bit.'
Previously, when I was in charge of a Megacorp escape ship, I preyed on pirates.
Not by biting and eating them directly, but by creating eroding tentacles inside the stomach.
'The period of time you can maintain control after eating has increased.'
I assumed that it would be impossible to secure additional energy after taking control of the ship, but I was wrong.
Even when I eat an enemy with the eroding tentacles, my energy reserves increase.
'Eating with my tentacles is the same as feeding with my mouth.'
This is almost certain, seeing as the predation effect was applied to one of the pirates.
This means that there is no need to worry about securing energy for erosion.
'But we can't just erode it blindly.'
You cannot cancel during erosion, so you must remain still for 5 hours. It is difficult to respond flexibly to enemy attacks when you are unable to move.
'It's better to go safely even if it causes erosion later.'
The number of pirates on this huge ship, approximately 300 meters long, is 85.
The fewer their numbers, the better for me.
'First of all, I have to reduce it.'
What should I aim for first?
From what I heard from Justin, this ship is carrying a lot of bombs with strong firepower. It is said to be a bomb used to destroy evidence after plundering another ship.
'Honestly, I don't think he'll kill himself just because of me.'
If you find yourself at a dead end, you never know what they will do. Or, the captain could plant a bomb without his subordinates knowing and then escape alone via the ship's plane.
'First, let's make sure they can't escape.'
If the planes on board the ship are destroyed, the other side will not be able to use bombs carelessly.
If we organize the next bomb, the means for them to threaten me will be greatly reduced.
'The aircraft is in the hangar.'
I am currently unable to disable the surveillance cameras because I used the Hijacking trait for the Nightmare Horizon material.
Maybe I can get it by fusing hijacking again. It's not easy to get to the hangar while avoiding the eyes of enemies with this size.
But there is nothing impossible in this world.
'Let's make a nest first.'
I stuffed the engineer's corpse into my mouth and crouched down.
Black mucus, similar to that produced when the stomach is eroded, flowed from various cavities in the body.
'It's going to be temporary anyway, so there's no need to make it perfect.'
All I need is to be able to closely monitor enemies within a 100m radius from where I am standing.
The semi-hardened mucus was forming spores and stems, gradually expanding the area.
When the size of the nest roughly exceeded the area where I was lying, I attached the tip of the auxiliary organ to the nest. I felt like my body was being dragged into the metal plywood of the ship, similar to the erosion tentacles.
After confirming that the link to the nest was successful, I checked the area that could be detected as a nest.
'good. 'This is fine.'
Now that you have a small but operational nest, let's move on to the next step.
There is a trait obtained by killing pirates on an escape ship.
I had a few opportunities to use it, but I didn't, and now the time has come to take advantage of it.
｢Tooth Fairy Nest: The body develops an organ that creates a 'tooth fairy colony' of man-eating fleas with sharp teeth. Tooth fairy swarms can be created up to 3 times a day, and the control distance is 100m.
*P.S.: Who on earth came up with this name?"
Even before I boarded the pirate ship, there were egg sacs scattered all over my shell except for the hole where the tentacles came out.
This egg sac is a nest containing a group of 'tooth fairies', fighting parasites.
The Tooth Fairy's Nest is a trait created by combining the physical-related trait, Dental Grip, and the infection-related trait, the Fur Flea trait.
'The fur flea trait can usually be obtained from wild animals, but I was surprised.'
It is a trait that can be obtained with a high probability by eating animals whose bodies are covered in fur, so I had no idea that I would get it here.
'Is it because he's a smuggler?'
One of the pirates who came in from the escape ship was already infected with fleas. When I devoured him, the fleas on his body were also digested, allowing me to acquire new characteristics.
'The fur flea itself is not a useful ability.'
It is a characteristic that has negative effects, such as dwarfing. This is because possessing the characteristic causes a semi-permanent condition called itchiness.
'But if you fuse it, it's completely different.'
When combined with the Tooth Grip trait, it is transformed into a useful infection-related trait.
'Come out, guys.'
When the Tooth Fairy's nest was activated, the egg cases on its back burst and black bugs came out.
It looks exactly like a regular flea, except that it has large teeth and a mouth instead of eyes on its head and is the size of a child's palm.
Unlike fleas that suck blood, tooth fairies eat anything with their sharp teeth.
These loyal soldiers don't care if it's meat or metal. It just bites what I tell it to do.
'Sort all.'
Dozens of tooth fairies gathered in front of me, obeying my will.
Number 26, who was ignoring the engineer wearing a spacesuit next to him, saw this and approached.
"wow? Who are they?"
No. 26's body sparkled as if he was fascinated by the tooth fairies gathered together.
[Zuzu zuzu (The kids I made)]
｢Make it? Is this the baby that the older baby gave birth to?」
[Zuzuzuzu zzuzu (Similar, but a little different)]
｢Aren't they babies?｣
As the control distance is written in the tooltip, the Tooth Fairy is a kind of summon created by me.
A consumable item used to draw the enemy's attention or hide it in an unexpected place to launch a surprise attack.
'I also used it well when playing games.'
Unlike the parasitic colony, which was implemented as a kind of debuff technology in the game, the Tooth Fairy was implemented as a combat summon.
This is of great help to Amorph, who can only play alone.
'Honestly, the specs themselves aren't that good.'
This scary man-eating flea moves quickly and has high attack power, but it has clear limitations.
Since it's a bug, it has no defense, so even a laser rifle shot will kill it. If it is a strong creature like the Hulk Mutant, you can kill it by stomping on it.
'So you have to use it well to get the full price.'
It's bad news for pirates, but I'm one of the people who uses the Tooth Fairy well.
'To each person's location.'
After hearing my command, a group of tooth fairies bounced and disappeared up the stairs of the cargo hold.
Although they were invisible, the unique signals sent by the tooth fairies were constantly being transmitted to my auxiliary organs.
The destination of the Tooth Fairy group is a hangar containing naval aircraft.
'The hangar is located near the front of the three-story hull.'
They quickly climbed up to the third floor, bouncing around on their strong hind legs, and then entered the hallway leading to the hangar.
'Pirates in the middle.'
I was aware of the pirates' movements through the nest in advance and informed the Tooth Fairies of this.
Man-eating fleas gnawed at nearby vents and hid inside them.
< The motion detector says there's something here? >
< There's nothing, right? >
< Isn't it like a fucking ghost has taken over the ship? >
The pirates wandered the hallways for a while, carrying motion detectors that kept showing warning signals, and then left for another place.
I couldn't feel any movement from the pirates, so I ordered again.
'Advance.'
The entrance to the hangar suddenly appeared in front of a group of tooth fairies who were moving quickly and hopping up the hallway.
There were two guards standing in front of the door, smaller than me but much taller than an ordinary human.
One was a monster that looked like a gorilla, and the other had a head that resembled a rhinoceros. Although they were different looking monsters, there was only one similarity: they had metal plates implanted here and there on their bodies.
'There's a Hulk mutant?'
Their true identity was Hulk mutants, with their hideous appearance due to the inharmonious transplantation of various types of genes.
They stood there yawning as if they were bored with standing guard.
'Hulk mutants are impossible.'
I retreated the group of tooth fairies.
It is impossible to deal with the Hulk Mutant with these. Every time he hits the Tooth Fairy, one of them will die.
Even if it were possible for the tooth fairies to kill the Hulk mutant, they wouldn't do it.
'It's a precious chunk of genetic essence, but you can't blow it away.'
I'll take care of those two myself later, and I order the group of tooth fairies to enter the vent.
You'll have to go back a bit, but it's better to sneak into the hangar through the vent.
Man-eating fleas stand in two rows and walk inside the vent. Perhaps if someone other than me had seen it, they would have thought it was a truly transcendent sight.
'A vent.'
While controlling a group of tooth fairies, I suddenly remembered the first time I became an Amorph.
When Eimoff's life began in the cargo hold of Meteor's research vessel.
I walked around the vents and hunted while avoiding people's gaze.
But now I am trying to hunt down countless pirates in a ship much larger than the research vessel.
'I went in.'
It took some time, but the group of tooth fairies safely arrived in front of the vent attached to the hangar ceiling.
Perhaps by a twist of fate, the vent on the hangar ceiling was of the type with rotating blades that had been found in the cargo hold of a former research ship.
'Run at them all and gnaw them all.'
Back then I risked my life to avoid the blade of the vent, but not now.
Dozens of tooth fairies gnawed at the mechanical device near the edge of the vent. Soon, sparks flew out and the blades of the vent slowly slowed down and eventually stopped.
The tooth fairies put the blades away and jumped inside the hangar.
Inside, Star Union's old fighter jet was sleeping quietly.
'Destroy everything.'
The tooth fairies clung to the bottom of the aircraft, exposing their sharp teeth.
Although there is a camera inside, it will be difficult to notice the Tooth Fairy's movements unless someone is paying close attention.
Its body is black, just like the floor, and its size is as big as a child's palm.
Since those things are only moving around on the bottom of the aircraft, if you see them from beyond the camera, it would be easy to mistake them for rats moving around.
How much time has passed like that?
The thick hangar door opened and a group of armed men entered the hangar.
< Something wrong inside the hangar! >
< You idiots! There's a problem inside, what are you doing outside? >
< Oh, we did our best to protect ourselves! It's unfair! >
< You guys are worse than fucking monkeys! >
The pirates noticed the abnormality in the hangar sooner than I expected.
They began using electric lights to find man-eating fleas under the aircraft.
< Ugh! >
< You crazy bugs! >
When the man-eating fleas attacked the pirates, they freaked out and started shooting. Every time the red laser light flashed inside the dark hangar, the tooth fairies burst out.
< Ahhhh! Take this away from me! >
< Quaaaagh! My face! >
Some of the surviving Tooth Fairies clung to the pirates' bodies and bit their flesh. The pirates screamed in pain as their skin was torn by razor-like teeth.
< Helps too! >
< You damn slug! I want you to take it away quickly! >
The Tooth Fairies worked harder than expected, but unfortunately there were no deaths on the pirate side.
This is because the Hulk Mutant guards went around and removed the Tooth Fairy from the pirates with their bare hands.
The group of tooth fairies that entered the hangar was instantly annihilated.
But it wasn't too disappointing.
< Fuck! Are all the aircraft on board damaged!? >
They fully responded to my intentions.
'The retreat route was blocked.'
And they don't know, but it's not over yet.
Before I knew it, the egg case that had grown on the shell burst and a new group of tooth fairies surrounded me.
'The aircraft carrier has been cleaned up.'
The next target is the bombs stored in the armory.
Hunting is not just about chasing down prey.
What and how much you prepare before the hunt begins is also an important factor in hunting success.
Knowing the prey in advance and ensuring that the prey is in the position and state you want.
They don't know me, they don't know where I am, they don't know what condition I'm in.
There are only three differences between their positions and mine.
As game hunters and hunters.
'Once all the bombs are cleared…'
This is the only survival space in the barren space of outer space.
It will become a darkness that devours foolish prey.
