Ep. 262



Kadun was once a slave.

Actually, it’s not anything special. Because most Wolfs live as slaves.

Men are combat slaves and women are sex slaves. If you are unlucky, you may become a test subject for Megacorp Star Union and end up in the lab.

The only better life for Wolff would be to become a space pirate.

What crime have they committed that they are suffering like this? When young Kadun cried out to the chieftain of the tribe, the chieftain said:

It is said that they were once gods who ruled the planet, but they quarreled with each other due to their arrogance and violence. After an almost eternity of struggle, Wolf lost his godly power and fell into ruin. And God’s descendants are paying for the sins of their ancestors.

It didn’t take long for me to realize that the chieftain’s story was nonsense.

The tribes are scattered somewhere in the universe where the chieftain has already died. They were all wrong.

The reason Wolf is persecuted is simple. Because they are weaker than cults.

The order of nature is a cruel law. Just as a predator is not morally reprehensible for eating its prey, it is natural for a powerful cult to trample on the weak Wolf.

In order to avoid being stepped on by the strong, you have no choice but to become strong yourself. Having traveled through countless arenas and soaked his hands in blood, he became stronger than any other Wolff.

Montana Marcio, a different kind of powerhouse from the cult, was the only one who could see his potential. He spared no effort in supporting Kadoon’s continued growth.

Kadoon also obeyed Montana, knowing full well that serving him would benefit him.

It has been 10 years since Kadun became the deputy head of the Marcio Cartel. He even gained the ‘body of god’ that the chieftain had spoken of in the past.

Although he had tremendous power in his hands, he was not impressed. Because Wolf’s myth was no longer an important factor to him.

Just as a cult follows providence, Kadoon served the order of the might of the jungle.

So, he was scheduled to train today at the private training center located at the headquarters. Unless a subordinate suddenly rushed into the training room.

“There’s fog in the inactive area?”

“yes! “A pirate on patrol filmed this!”

A subordinate, full of energy, handed him a terminal. When I pressed the button, the recorded video was played.

“It’s a religious area for cultists. “Did the life support manager say there was nothing wrong?”

“They say it is not a device problem, but someone artificially spread it.”

“It’s artificial. “What are the results of the analysis?”

“They say engineers are gathering together to investigate.”

Although the spread of contaminants within the district was a serious matter, it was not something that Kadoon should be directly involved in. It is a question of expertise rather than authority, and it would be more reasonable to resolve it by talking to engineers.

Even the subordinate in front of him would not know that fact. The reason he came to report to Kadun was different.

“I guess that has something to do with the fog and the druggies. Before the wimps died, they talked about spiders in the fog.”

“Spider in the fog?”

Kadun checked the video again.

It was hard to see what was in the fog. However, the flow was not natural and abnormal. As if to hide something inside.

‘A creature that controls the fog that drives humans crazy.’

Several similar creatures come to mind. ‘Angel Spider’, which catches its prey with a web made of psychic power, ‘Red Mist’, a wild beast that neutralizes its prey by spraying hallucinogenic pheromones, etc. As the vice president of the Marcio Cartel, who relays pirate transactions, he has come into contact with many rare creatures.

“Bring the guys who took this video.”

“The patrol unit that took the video showed symptoms similar to those of drug addicts...”

I don’t know exactly what that creature was, but it didn’t seem like an easy opponent. Well, that means his subordinate came to visit Kadun.

‘What kind of bastard left something like that loose?’

Not all pirates who come to the fortress are successful in trading smuggled animals. There are many cases where transactions fail. Some pirates who fail in their transactions abandon rare animals in inactive areas and run away because they do not want to bear the cost of transportation.

Kadun saw this incident as a similar case.

「Dogging?」「I don’t understand」「I can’t」

「I have to keep it up.」

「I」「I can’t see」「Where are you?」

“Gallagon’s gas flow cannot be observed visually.”

Everyone hid in different places and in their own way. Toxic gas spread throughout the area, but no one was in pain.

‘It seemed like he used his brain to some extent, but...’

Unfortunately, the opponent wasn’t very good.

I listened to the kids chatting and waited for them to come in.

After about an hour, the toxic gas in the area began to dissipate. They are also slowly preparing to rush in.

Soon, a slight vibration was felt in the air. Three patrol ships full of pirates entered the area.

‘You’re here.’

The pirates aboard the patrol ship are all wearing mid-level reinforced suits and armed with psychic rifles and Gauss rifles. In addition, the deputy chieftain came wearing a Wolff-style uniform and even a high-level reinforced uniform.

‘That’s an incredible amount of specs for a pirate subject.’

Muriel’s subordinates weren’t that bad either. Can we really say that he is a pirate running an orbital colony?

‘The problem is that everything is being read.’

There are three minions who have not yet been discovered. They are sending me information, one person aboard each patrol ship.

They think the 5 people they threw as bait are the end. They have no idea that three spies are with them.

‘Then let’s get started.’

I organized the information I had obtained and sent it to the kids. We have fought together more than dozens of times so far. The guys quickly understood my wavelength and started moving.

Following the children’s movements, I also crawled out of the church. My giant winged arms trampled the cult symbol on the ground, crushing it.

‘The distance from them is 1km.’

One of the patrol ships is attempting to land in a square 1km away. Considering the speed at which I move, the distance is not far at all.

I moved my wing arms and fighting arms and ran in their direction.

Buildings made of alloy blocked me in the middle, but my body pierced through the obstacles. As I race, destroying buildings, I see a pirate ship.

There are dozens of meters left until the patrol ship lands. I pulled out the erosion tentacles hidden on my back.

Six huge tentacles fly towards the ship, like giant snakes that appear in mythology. The patrol ship’s guns move quickly, as if they didn’t know they would be attacked while landing.

But that choice is the wrong answer. They had to take evasive maneuvers to avoid my tentacles.

My tentacles wrapped around the stern of the corvette. The hull shook greatly and the ship’s guns completely missed their target.

I captured the patrol ship and pulled its tentacles towards me. The pirates aboard the ship opened the hatch at the rear as if they thought it would not work. This is because you will not die if you jump from a few tens of meters since you are wearing a mid-level reinforced suit.

It’s wrong. Because my eroding tentacles are holding on to the stern of the ship. Some of the tentacles swallowed the pirates floating in the air whole.

“be careful!”

“Fuck you baby!”

“Ugh!”

Unfortunately, the number of my erosion tentacles is not enough to devour all my enemies. Only four pirates were eaten by the tentacles, and the rest landed safely on the ground.

‘It’s not over yet.’

“Everyone scatter!”

“Crazy monster bird...uhhh?!”

“The ship is falling! damage!”

I dropped the corvette with its tentacles wrapped around them on their heads.

Heavy drinking, the smell of gunpowder and blood.

Elements familiar to Eimov announced the start of the hunt.
