I Became an Evolving Space Monster

After departing from AG-01, I came straight to Gallagon’s nest without going any other way.

But when I got there, the nest was not in good condition. It seems that Aadhai absorbed more and faster energy than expected.

“What about your sister?”
“I have a new ship. “I’m trying to find a place to put it with my heavenly mother.”
“…Nothing happened, right?”

Isabel asks cautiously. I guess I’m worried about my sister PS-111 who is not here.

Well, the appearance has changed a lot, but there are no injuries in particular.

“I came back safely, so you don’t have to worry.”
“Phew, I see.”
“Anyway, I couldn’t see any Gallagons?”
“All the gallagons that can hunt have gone out to find food.”

On the way here, I didn’t see anyone else except the White Gallagon guarding the valley.

Gallagons value their young and eggs. Even if there are number 26, it is absolutely unusual for such a small number to be left in the nest.

‘It probably means that the situation is that desperate.’

I’m glad I came early. If I had been even a little late, it would have been dangerous.

“Eat this, big baby!”

Number 26, who was happy to see me, handed me a mushroom.

[Zuzuzu (thank you)]
‘It looks like you worked hard.’

Even without looking closely, it was clearly visible that he was noticeably thinner. The skin, which had been a captivating pink color until I left, turned white, and the movement of the tentacles became limp. It must have literally supplied energy to its limit.

｢Big baby, what is that?｣
[Zuzu (this?)]

Number 26 pointed at the Arcane Orca I was holding with its tentacle. I answered while chewing a mushroom that released sweet juice.

[Zuuuu zu (Aadhai rice)]
｢Rice?｣
[Zu zuzu zuzuzu zuzuzu zuzuzu (Yes. If you eat this, you will be fine)]
｢Really? really?”

It is food filled with the energy of a star. This should be enough to wake Aadhai.

“I’m going to go feed him right now. “Please see if there are any problems while absorbing energy.”
“okay.”

Thanks to Isabel’s special privilege, she can read the other person’s information. If you have her, you can handle any unexpected situation.

At that time, No. 26 stretched out its tentacles like hands and waved them.

“Are you giving me food? I want to watch it too!”
[Zuzuz, zuzu, zuzuzu, zuzuzu (stay here because it might be dangerous)]
“I want to watch the little baby eat, too!”

It is big and runs wild and throws a tantrum. The walls and ceiling are vibrating, and the Blue Gallagons in my arms are tilting their heads as if wondering what’s going on.

‘Do you want to see it that much?’

This is my first time seeing No. 26 like this.

Even if you tell them not to come, they seem to be chasing you. In that case, it would be better to take him with you.

[Zuzuz, zuzu, zuzu (Then let’s go together)]
｢Yes!｣

I took No. 26 and Isabelle and went to where Adhai was.

There was little change in the leader’s throne, which I had not seen in a long time. A lot of jewels piled up in the cavity, a huge ruby crystal towering in the middle, and a feeling of helplessness that gets worse the closer you get to the crystal. It was just like what I had seen and felt before.

I walked up to the crystal and put down Arcane Orca’s body.

The moment it touched the corpse, the red color of the crystal became even clearer. The crystal, stained bright red as if it was bleeding, began to engulf the Arcane Orca.

The golden bones shrivel and crumble in real time. The energy contained within flowed into the being sleeping within the crystal. At the same time, a red air current caused by the absorption of enormous energy shook the inside of the cavity.

I felt like if things continued like this, my energy would be taken away, so I quickly retreated out of the cave.

The bones of the Arcane Orca quickly disappeared. Not only that, the jewels on the floor were swept away by the air current and crumbled.

There is something unusual about the atmosphere. Isabelle, who was glaring at the decision, opened her mouth.

“There’s a problem.”
“what? Could it be that Arcane Orca is not enough?”
“No, it’s the opposite. “I have too much energy.”
“A lot? “Isn’t that a good thing?”

She shook her head at my question.

“It’s proof that we can’t estimate how much energy we need. “If you leave it like this, you won’t be able to wake up and will just repeat the absorption.”

It’s just as she said. The crystal that ate the entire Arcane Orca also covets the energy of me and the entire nest.

“What should I do to make it stop?”
“…I have already gathered all the energy needed for growth. If you destroy the crystal, Aadhai will also wake up.”

In some cases, animal eggs fail to hatch even after the time has passed for them to be born. I heard that in such cases, the shell is stimulated to induce hatching.

The current situation is similar to that case. If you break the crystal, Aadhai, who is sleeping inside, will come to his senses.

I took a step towards the crystal in the red storm. As soon as the wing arm touches the blood-red cloud, the energy is drained away.

The second heart in the chest, the ‘Dragon Heart’, quickly fills up with energy. However, the energy was used up faster than that.

At that time, when I stumbled without realizing it due to a strong sense of helplessness, the air current dispersed for a moment. The clouds that attacked me gathered behind me, not me.

“Big baby! cheer up!”

No. 26 has entered battle mode and is controlling the air currents with thousands of tentacles.

Of course, even if he were a guy, it would be impossible to stop the energy-absorbing storm. You can see its tentacles shrinking quickly. The time you can endure is at most ten seconds.

Still, thanks to that, I was able to reach a decision safely.

‘You have to destroy it with one blow.’

If we delay even a little bit, it will be over for all of us.

I swung my right tail with all my might. The pincers at the end of the tail collide with hard crystals.

｢Pain reduction activated!｣

The tail evaporated as soon as it touched it. At the same time, small scratches appeared on the crystal surface, which was uniform without any gaps.

A crack that gradually expands, like when a spider builds a nest. The moment the cracks spread across the surface, the red prison finally collapsed. At the same time, a large amount of energy condensed in crystals and air currents is dispersed.

Most of it seeped into the ceiling, walls, and floor, but some of it flowed to unexpected entities. No. 26, which controlled the airflow.

When I turned around, the body that had been bleached white had turned pink again. The dried skin came back to life, and the injured tentacles were also restored.

‘Have the stolen energy been returned?’
“I’m full.”

No. 26 is full of energy and looks like a puffed bun. I turned off the battle mode and just sat there. It looked as relaxed as if it had eaten a lot of delicious food.

‘What about Aadhai?’

First of all, No. 26 is fine. When I looked back again, I saw something I had never seen lying in the place where the crystal had been.

Is the length between 5m and 7m? Because it covers part of its body with its large wings, it is difficult to gauge its exact length.

The surface of the wing was red, just like the crystal, and its soft glow resembled the Rose Nebula. Inside the beautiful wings, a long, thin body was coiled.

It has scales that are a darker red than the wings, four thin but sturdy legs, a long, thin neck, and a moderately fleshy, plump tail.

The being that looked like a combination of an Eastern dragon and a Western dragon slowly raised its head.

The moment I saw the two shining eyes under the six bright horns, I realized who the being in front of me was.

[Zuuuu (adhai?)]
｢Big adult?｣

Red Gallagon, or rather Aadhai, responds to my wavelength. The guy’s head gets closer.

｢Size｣｢Small｣｢Body｣｢Are you hurt?｣
[Z(Huh?)]

Is it because of the narrow eyes? Purple eyes, which give me a more mature feel than before, examine my body thoroughly. The guy is worried now.

‘Why are you doing this?’

It is true that my body has changed into a ‘ghastly impersonator’, but it is not enough to worry me.

‘Don’t you remember what went into the decision?’

If so, this reaction is understandable. In just a few hours, you will see that I have completely changed.

[Zuzuzu Zuzuzu Zuzuzu (Don’t worry. We won)]
｢Really?｣
[Zuzuzu Zuzuzu (Yes. Are you okay?)]
｢Me?｣｢I’m okay｣｢?｣

It was only then that Aadhai realized the change in himself and hurriedly confirmed it.

｢?｣｢?｣

The amethyst-like eyes started from the neck and continued along the smooth body to the tip of the tail.

｢A big adult!｣｢I｣｢da｣｢I’ve grown up!｣
[Zuz zuzu zuzu zuzu zuzu zuzu (Are you hurting somewhere?)]
｢No problem｣｢No!｣｢Look!｣

The guy jumped up and spun around in place. At the same time, the tips of its wings and tail touched under my chin.

It felt hard to believe that it was covered in scales. I was surprised at how soft and good it felt, as if I had touched silk.

Next, it swept my wing arm with its long tail as if tickling it.

｢Tail｣｢Scales｣｢More｣｢It has become prettier｣
[Zuzuzu (so)]

It’s true.

She was beautiful enough during the White Gallagon era, but the cuteness was stronger back then.

But now, I feel the strange charm of both frailty and maturity coexisting. It may be thanks to these two factors: a slender body reminiscent of a dragon and attractive red scales.

‘It looks a lot different than what I saw in the game.’

In the game, Red Gallagon is much larger and looks fierce and majestic. What’s more, is Red Gallagon’s nickname the Red Tyrant?

On the other hand, Aadhai’s image was far from that of a tyrant. Maybe this difference occurred because they were female.

｢Big Adult｣｢Me｣｢Now｣

Just as he was about to say something, a pink tentacle appeared behind me and wrapped around him.

｢?｣

Number 26 grabbed Adhai and pulled him towards him.

“Little baby! Are you okay?”
“I’m frustrated.
” “Are you okay, little baby?”
“It’s frustrating.” “On purpose.” “Like that?”
“I’m glad you’re okay!”

The guy hugged the struggling Adhai tightly and did not let go.

“It looks like you were very worried, as expected.”
“…Are you really worried?”
“Originally, the two of you get along well. No. 26 taught us a lot. “You probably spent the longest time together after me?”
“….”

Isabel seemed to understand my explanation and kept her mouth shut.

Anyway, with this, Aadhai’s growth has ended safely.

‘There’s still a lot of work left to do…’

It would be okay to postpone it for a while.

With that in mind, I watched No. 26 and Aadhai fooling around.
