Chapter 189: 189
Ep. 189
It is impossible for me to defeat White Gallagon, as I only escaped fatal wounds but have difficulty even standing properly.
Just as there is a big difference between Blue Gallagon and Green Gallagon, White Gallagon is far superior.
Gallagon's claw sword held by the Temple Guardians. The characteristics of Gallagon's claw used by Sihyeon Eugene are all elements derived from White Gallagon.
That's not all.
'Monster's Tentacle', an attribute that did not exist in the game. This ability to shoot psychic breath using tentacles is White Gallagon's unique trait.
And unlike me, he can fire his psychic breath wildly. Its destructive power may be stronger in its semi-adult form, but unlike me, it has no limit to its shooting abilities.
'If we fight, we will inevitably lose.'
I turned and headed towards Aadhai.
[Zuzzuzuzu (I have to run away)]
Aadhai's flight speed had dropped significantly because his wings were broken. I grabbed him, held him tightly in my arms, and ran like crazy.
｢Big Adult｣｢Kingdom｣｢Appearance｣｢Me｣｢Pursuit｣
[Z(What?)]
As soon as I finished saying those words, two green Gallagons appeared in front of me. Unlike the dwarf Aadhai, those boasting a height of nearly 10 meters blocked me.
I was about to turn to the side when I felt a huge amount of energy being concentrated behind me. Next, a purple heat ray passed right in front of me.
｢Ham Ort｣｢Says｣｢Stop｣
When I turned around, White Gallagon was leisurely following me. Its tentacles, which had been deeply dyed purple, slowly returned to a light red color.
White Gallagon only burned the dirt in front of my feet with his psychic breath. It was meant as a warning.
'What are we going to do?'
Aadhay is unique, but the original Gallagon is a very ferocious creature. He rarely forgives those who invade his territory. It's not for nothing that Gallagon's Nest is classified as one of the most difficult hunting grounds.
In fact, the Green Gallagons were straining their muscles to attack at any moment.
There is only one reason why they stay still.
It's because of that strangely calm White Gallagon.
'I want something.'
I quickly took a look at White Gallagon. Judging from the relatively small length of the horns and thick tail, the sex of the animal is female.
Gallagons are creatures with sexual dimorphism. Males are slightly stronger than females, but this is meaningless in this situation.
The body length of the white gallagon is more than twice that of the green gallagon. The wings are currently folded, but when unfolded, their majesty will be amazing.
Up to this point, it had the same characteristics as the typical White Gallagon, but there were two differences.
I didn't really notice it when I first saw it, but when I looked again, there were black scales all over its body. Maybe it's a trace of the dried blood of another living thing.
'He's too skinny for a Gallagon.'
Both the Green Gallagon that was wary of us and the White Gallagon in front of me were very thin. Because the ribs were exposed on the side.
Of course, just because the other side is hungry doesn't mean I can win. Because I am also significantly weakened.
'Let's start with the conversation.'
[Zuzzuzu (What do you want?)]
White Gallagon tilted his head as the monster's tentacles trembled and created waves.
｢Amazing｣｢Kingdom｣｢Say｣｢Is it possible?｣
[Z(Yes)]
｢Strange kindred｣｢Me｣｢Introducing｣｢Ham Ort｣
White Gallagon who introduced himself as 'Ham Ort' continued to send out thought waves.
｢Ham Ort｣｢I need it｣
[Zuz zuzu zuzu (What do I need?)]
Instead of answering, he raised his front paw and pointed at Adhai in my arms.
｢Daughter of the Meteor｣｢Special｣｢Kingdom｣｢Salvation｣｢Necessary｣
[Zeuuuz (Aadhaiga?)]
｢Ham Ort's group｣｢Weak｣｢Great Od Grad group｣｢Strong｣ ｢Daughter of the Meteor｣｢Unconditionally｣｢Necessary｣
It was difficult to understand accurately due to Gallagon's unique speaking style, but to summarize briefly, it is as follows.
White Gallagon Ham Oort's group is competing with other Gallagon groups.
And it is said that they are inferior to the opposing group.
Of course it has to be that way. Because the leader of the Gallagon group is always Black Gallagon. The only case where another Gallagon becomes the boss is an event where Red Gallagon appears as a raid boss.
'White Gallagon is in the lower to mid tier of Apex.'
Although it is much stronger than Ice Horror, it is weaker than Black Gallagon. With such weak strength, he cannot protect his people from other monsters targeting the dragon's nest.
'Then it's even weirder.'
Since the group is led by White Gallagon, it is naturally weaker than the Black Gallagon group. In such a situation, would having Aadhai make a difference?
'Is there something special about Aadhai?'
I kept looking at him, but I didn't see anything special about him other than his extraordinary intelligence.
What's more unique is that he grew from Blue Gallagon to Green Gallagon while he was away from me. Since I don't know Gallagon's growth process, I can't tell if it's special or not.
'…how will we do it.'
If you refuse, they will most likely say that they will take it away by force. Because gallagons are naturally such creatures. It is safe to say that there is no case like now where Gallagon requests conversation in a 'gentlemanly' manner.
However, it is also difficult to hand over Aadhai like this.
This is because it is unclear why the Gallagons, who despise the weak, suddenly need Aadhai. This is a guy who was kicked out because he had a physical disability.
'It's even more dangerous if you use it in a war between groups.'
Aadhai is a precious person who has been with us until now. I can't hand Aadhai over unless I know exactly what they're thinking.
At that time, as if he had read my thoughts, he let out a thought wave with perfect timing.
｢Ham Ort｣｢Says｣｢Daughter of the Meteor｣｢Precious｣｢Life｣｢Protect｣
[Zuzuzuzu (Protect?)]
｢That's right｣｢My child｣｢Me｣｢Child｣｢Protect｣
'What? '
Among his school of thought, there was information that I couldn't just hear and ignore. I looked at Aadhai in my arms.
[Zzuzu zuzuzuzu (Is that true?)]
Adhai hesitated but then nodded.
｢Kingdom｣｢Parents｣｢Right｣
｢Great Od Grad｣｢Pack leader｣｢Meteor's Daughter｣｢Exiled｣｢I｣｢Couldn't stop it｣
Ham Ort said briefly. It seemed like there was something deeper going on, but he didn't give any explanation.
It seemed like he wanted me to skip Aadhai since he had made it this far, but I couldn't do that.
Because Aadhai's reaction was not the reaction he had when he met his mother.
The reason his body trembled intermittently was not simply due to the cold.
Something must have happened when he was expelled.
[Zuz Zuzu Zuzuzuzu Zuzu Zuzuzu(I abandoned you once, can you not abandon me a second time?)]
｢Ham Ort｣｢I swear｣｢Daughter of the Meteor｣｢Life｣｢Protect｣
[Zuz Zuzuzu Zuzuzu( What if you say no?)]
｢Me｣｢Strange compatriot｣｢Saved｣｢There is a reason｣｢You｣｢Yuseong's daughter｣｢Guardian｣｢Ham Ort｣｣｢Thank you｣｢But｣ That guy has a long
neck He bent down and put his head close to the tip of my muzzle. The guy spoke while leaving a distance of about a piece of paper.
｢Ham Ort｣｢Fight｣｢Do not avoid｣｢What you want｣｢Acquire｣ The
eyes that gave off a beautiful light like amethyst flashed menacingly. The Green Gallagons behind us also growled loudly.
Looking at its reaction, it seems that the only way to survive is to pass Aadhai.
If it were like before, I would have done that without hesitation. Rather, he would have tried to use Aadhai as a bargain and establish a friendly relationship with the Gallagons.
'but.'
A strange, unknown feeling does not allow this. All I could think about was that I didn't want to let him go like this.
This is incomprehensible. I don't know why I'm doing this when emotions can't be higher than survival instincts.
'…You're crazy.'
Is it a symbolic side effect of hunting or is the brain stopping functioning due to lack of energy?
The reason is unknown, but one thing is clear: I am crazy.
Because I'm trying to channel what little energy I have left into God's whip.
Negotiations broke down and just before we rushed at each other, Aadhai suddenly escaped from my arms. The guy managed to stand in front of Ham Ort with his broken front leg.
｢I｣｢Gradual Adult｣｢Contract Completed｣｢I｣｢Mother｣｢Compatriots｣｢Return｣
[Zeuuuu (Aadhai?)]
Aadhai maintains a confident attitude even though he is shaking.
Ham Ort looked down at the guy for a moment and nodded slightly.
｢Meteor's Daughter｣｢Judgement｣｢Wise｣
The guy grabbed Adhai with his front paw. It was not a strong grip, but careful footwork as if handling treasure. The guy who had Aadhai in his hand put him on his back and spread his wings wide.
Pure white light filled the forest with tangled branches. Ham Ort spread his wings shining like the sun and disappeared, taking Adhaj with him. Next, Green Gallagon also escaped into the spot left by Ham Oort.
One by one, snow fell where they had left.
'….'
Adhai didn't look at me until the end.
But just before Ham Oort leaves.
A thought wave as feeble as a snowflake falling from the sky tickled my tentacles.
'Hello?'
The last words he left were not other words but a farewell.
Now that the contract to take them to Gallagon's nest has been completed, he will return to his compatriots.
'…I thought I was smart, but I feel stupid.'
When I said that, 'Oh, is that so?' If you thought you would just say this and move on, you would be greatly mistaken.
He acted that way because he thought it was best to follow Gallagon. If I hadn't done that, not only I but the other kids hiding in the forest wouldn't have been safe either.
I trudged along the way I came. They returned to their temporary shelter with the still remaining corpse of Green Gallagon and the remains of Screamer.
"Big baby! We're in big trouble!"
"What happened?" Adhai suddenly runs out and the Green Gallagons…huh?"
When I returned to the nest, No. 26 and Mother Sky greeted me. PS-111 was in a dormant state, perhaps because it had run out of energy.
[Zuzuzu zuzuzu zuzu (Eat this first for now)]
｢Big baby, where did the little one go?｣
｢…No way?｣
[Zuuuu zuzu zuzu zuzu (Aadhai went far away for a moment)]
｢Far? ｣
[Zuzuzu zuzuzu (family is here)]
｢….｣
｢Then you won't go with us anymore?｣
I shook my head firmly.
[Zuz, zuzuzu, zuzuzu, zuzu (No, that will never happen)]
If Adhai went because he wanted to, there is nothing more I can do. And even more so if it wasn't another Gallagon, but the mother who gave birth to him came and took him in person.
But I remember.
He said he wanted to stay with me even after the contract ended.
It is irrelevant how the Gallagons treat Aadhai. If he wants to join us, it's my job to listen.
'For that to happen, recovery comes first.'
I cut open Gallagon's stomach with my fighting arm. Then he tore off the half-cooled intestines and threw them to the Heavenly Mother.
[Zuzuzu Zuzuzuzu Zuzu Zuzuzuzu Zuzu Zuzuzu Zuzu (It must be hard to eat because the beak is broken. This will be better)] ｢…Okay.｣ The
Heavenly
Mother looked at me for a moment and began to tear out the intestines without saying a word. Number 26, who was watching from the side, also carefully ripped off Gallagon's wings.
'…Still, I got important information thanks to talking to him.'
The leader of the Gallagon horde has enormous authority. Usually the oldest Gallagon in the group is the leader, but this is not always the case.
If a young but powerful Gallagon appears in the group, he can challenge for the leader position. In other words, the leader of the group can be replaced at any time.
'When the challenger wins.'
And Ham Ort called me a 'strange compatriot.'
If they recognize me as something similar to Gallagon, there is only one answer.
To become their leader.
'This time I will prepare thoroughly.'
Being helpless like today is enough for me. Once everything is ready, I go to rescue Aadhai.
I made a promise while chewing Gallagon's front leg.
