I Have Become a Death Worm

“Kyu, hwaaaaak─────!”
Kwaaaaa-!
I immediately chased after them, emitting a resounding sonic blast.
There was no hesitation at all.
Because it was so damn fun.
Huuuung-!
Snow-white dust rose over the vast desert.
The desert sharks fled frantically.
I pursued them.
I had been depressed from being possessed by a monster against my will.
But then these things I extremely hated in my previous life appeared before me?
I certainly can’t miss such fun toys!
Catching up to their tails was instant.
Tung! Kwadddddd-!
Savage crushing sounds like cars being scrapped echoed.
They were pulverized as if private cars hit by a speeding train.
Having become a runaway locomotive, I joyfully smashed the desert shark group.
“Sha, shaaok…!”
“Shuaaaak…!”
“Krurrr…!”
Now what echoed from them were cries that seemed almost pitiful.
Dogs that tucked their tails after completely losing the fight.
I continued to ram them.
Kwang! Wadddduk-!
The scenery from outside would look like “why is that desert heaving so much over there?”
Because a crazy villain is committing reckless acts.
I could annihilate them all at once but I don’t.
Toys are best when you keep playing with them.
But suddenly a momentary question arose.
I hadn’t thought of it while busy ramming and playing.
What would happen if I ate these creatures?
“Kyuruuuu…!”
Consumed by curiosity, I opened wide my tightly closed mouth.
Shushushushushu-
Immediately, with the inflow of vast amounts of soil and sand, more than six desert sharks swimming near my mouth were sucked in.
Like a whale in the ocean sucking in plankton and swallowing them along with seawater.
I chewed the prey that had entered my mouth in abundance.
Kwasuk-
The desert sharks were immediately crushed in my mouth.
Suddenly something appeared in my vision.
[The power of the separated half-soul awakens. You have awakened Physical Predation.]
[E-class Physical Trait: Desert Shark has been acquired.]
A message different from Wang Junlin and the Three Battle Wolves.
Additionally, all kinds of ecological and behavioral information about them arose.
Traits were imprinted as if I had literally become them.
It applies to monsters too, not just rational beings?
This is quite useful?
Kwassssss-
The chase that had begun at some point had already reached quite a distant place.
It seemed I had chased them for easily more than 10km.
I poked my head out onto the surface and looked around.
It was still a golden desert spread widely in all directions.
A magnificent scene with mechanical weathering carved like waves amid mixed sand dunes of moderate height differences.
However, some rocky mountains existed like markers on the left and right of the horizon.
I had come to a completely different area from where I had been wandering.
Shwaaaaa─────!
Suddenly a grand movement and yellow dust arose from all directions in the desert.
Numerous brown fins and streamlined bodies rose from the sand surface.
“Kyi, shashashashok-!”
“Shaaaak-!”
“Shiiiik-!”
The desert sharks burst into fierce roars.
Their number was at least 1,000 at minimum.
A different dimension in numbers compared to those I had been kicking.
Even those being chased by me all turned their direction at once.
The atmosphere was as if they would no longer flee but confront me.
“Kyurut…”
I stopped the pursuit and observed the unexpected situation.
I had always thought I was in the position of the pursuer.
But it seems I was actually being lured to their hunting ground.
Kwass! Kwass! Kwass!
The desert sharks waved their tails that had shot up from the desert surface at regular intervals.
What are these bizarre series of movements?
Is it some kind of boss summoning ritual?
Passssss-
As if confirming my premonition, suddenly something began to rise from the front like a submarine surfacing.
An overwhelmingly huge brown body and red eyes are revealed.
“Krurrrruk.”
What appeared was an enormous desert shark.
Roughly like a desert shark that had eaten a super mushroom.
But its momentum and appearance were very ferocious, and each of its fangs was large and thick enough to pierce a car body.
The moment I saw it, an exclamation burst from my mouth.
“Kyuruut-!”
A volume of at least 100 tons with a height of 20 meters at minimum.
A fantasy species very famous among kaiju vs enthusiasts.
The big and beautiful megalodon of the desert.
“Kya, shaaaak-!”
Kwass, kwass-!
It roared and roughly stirred the sand behind it with its tail.
It seems displeased with me entering its territory while slaughtering its minions.
“Kyu, uuuuut-!”
When I also countered with a grand roar.
A momentarily intense question arose.
About the monster taming ability acquired from consuming Wang Junlin, the hunter from China’s 8 major guilds, Fantasy Paradise Guild.
Monster taming is literally the ability to tame magical beasts or magical creatures.
Though considered lower rank than summoners or spirit mediums, it’s practically the representative of tamers.
Instead of miserably beating these creatures up right now…
What if I tried taming them?
“Kyururu…”
I growled softly and steeled my will.
The method of using power was already input in my mind.
It’s as easy and natural as browsing knowledge on Wikipedia or taking an item out of a drawer.
Everything naturally follows the instructions.
I spoke to the desert sharks.
[Bolm…sho, ol…!]
I activated telepathy, a basic ability of tamer classes.
Though the pronunciation is blurred, a halting voice emerges.
I exerted an even higher level of concentration.
[…Submit to me. Desert sharks.]
Suddenly a very deep and dignified male voice flowed from within my head.
It resonated in my head similar to normal speech.
I had certainly expected a harsh voice like scraping metal.
But it was like a deep, resonant male voice actor.
Why does it remind me of fantasy dragons?
Suddenly something appeared before my eyes.
[These are sand fish troops subject to the Yellow Sand Whale King. Submission is impossible until the commanding military leader in charge of exerting control becomes vacant.]
I felt bewilderment at the system message that appeared.
The Yellow Sand Whale King is the military leader who shares rule over this Grabadra Sea with me.
It controls the desert fish centered around the desert whales, the sand whales, which are the largest and most powerful among desert fish.
The term “Four Great Lords” refers only to the most powerful monsters in their respective regions when the Shahar Great Desert is divided into four sectors.
The Albino Death Worm acted as a solitary individual, while the other lords each commanded subordinate kin.
Naturally, in the vast western continent with an area comparable to the Sahara Desert, it’s impossible for only four classifications to live.
Specifically, the Four Great Lords are analogous to four emperors, and below them are six military leaders comparable to six kings.
In total, there are about 10 leaders of the most powerful magical beasts and magical creatures.
Of course, the six military leaders are weaker compared to the Four Great Lords, which includes the Albino Death Worm.
That is the standard evaluated by otherworlders and earthlings.
There is Earth scientific research indicating that the direct subordinates of the Four Great Lords and Six Military Leaders have their own communication systems.
However, it’s uncertain whether the rest have such interactions.
Naturally, the relationship is not like humans where monsters other than subordinates offer tribute and loyalty to the lords.
Usually they just avoid the largest and most dangerous-looking ones, but show no mercy when their territories and rights are violated.
It’s like wolves fiercely confronting a tiger that infiltrates their den, despite being afraid.
The characteristic of the Yellow Sand Whale King is its enormous group size.
It commands large-scale sand fish subordinates below it.
All fish in the sea awaken at one of its roars.
The desert fish wave rushing in, turning over the entire desert and causing sand storms, is shock and terror itself.
All desert species like whales, sharks, dolphins, rays, moray eels, eels, sailfish, anglerfish, and piranhas swarm in.
That’s the memory of the Albino Death Worm who collided with it.
“Krurrrrr…!”
The desert megalodon glares with red eyes.
The submission attempt just now seemed to have no effect at all.
So it has come to this.
“Kyi, shahaaaak-!”
It let out a roar of a different dimension from the desert sharks, with a resounding volume.
Kwagagagaga-!
It charged in, vastly sweeping the sand with its fins and tail.
An enormous sand storm was created around it.
I also roared a monster cry against it.
“Kyu, hwaaaaak-!”
Death Worm vs Megalodon.
If you’re a kaiju battle enthusiast, this is irresistible.
I also gave a big response to its passion.
Kwassssss-!
Immediately, an enormous yellow wind also arose around me as I charged.
As we rapidly closed the distance, we each roared.
“Kyishahaaak-!”
“Kyuhwaaaak-!”
Life is like the head-butting dinosaur Pachycephalosaurus!
Frontal breakthrough without any cowardly flanking maneuvers!
A man charges recklessly without hesitation!
“Krurr-!”
Its mouth, which seemed to exceed 3 meters, was wide open.
Sharp shark teeth are revealed in a place that could fit five people.
Toward the suddenly appearing large creature, I launched a full-body headbutt like a blue whale.
Kwang! Wudddduk-!
“Kyi, shahaak-!”
The massive body that collided with my soul-infused headbutt floated up like a balloon onto the desert sand surface.
Tremendous yellow dust swirled like an aftershock.
Shwaaa-!
“Krurrrrruk…”
The desert megalodon, balancing itself while cutting through the sand with its massive body, growled.
Suddenly flames flickered in its wide-open mouth.
Hwaleuk! Hwaleuk! Hwaleuk-!
Surprisingly, it shot fireballs from its mouth.
Higher-ranked individuals that achieve existential evolution also develop specific attributes, and it was exactly such a demonstration.
Kwassssss-!
“Kyirururuk-!”
I ran fiercely through the desert with my body laid flat.
In an instant, I turned my body toward it and opened wide my mouth filled with sand.
Puk! Puhuuuuk-!
A yellow sand cannon was expelled from my mouth with a fierce momentum.
It immediately crossed paths with the fireballs flying over the sand, sizzling with high heat.
Peok! Chwihiik-!
Sand and fireballs collided, creating a hazy mirage.
Burning sand melted like mercury heated in boiling water, accompanied by steam.
“Kyishashashok-!”
“Kyashok! Kyashok-!”
“Shashashok-!”
Desert sharks surrounding the horizon jumped up and howled.
It was like watching NPC spectators going wild in the background of fighting game stages.
Kurrrrrung-!
Having made a large turn, I charged at it again.
A man collides head-on honestly!
Kwarrrrrrr-!
“Kyarur! Kyaaak-!”
It also charged at me, opening and closing its mouth.
I like this creature that’s similarly passionate.
Finally, the distance between us dramatically closed.
The lance charge of two knights took place.
Kwadddduk-!
“Kr, rurrrruk-!”
The desert megalodon chewed my head with its enormous mouth.
It gnawed steadily, moving all its shark teeth.
It’s just a bit itchy.
“Kruruk!”
Kudeuk, kududeuk-!
While biting, it shakes its head strongly left and right to add weight.
A force much stronger than its actual mighty bite force was transmitted to me.
Certainly worthy of the megalodon, boasting the strongest bite force.
Patseuu-!
“Kyuruut…”
I was actually waiting for this timing.
Patsutsutsutsu-!
“Kyu, hwaaaaak-!”
I fully released the prepared electric field.
Electric current not inferior to blue high-voltage lightning is discharged.
The surrounding yellow desert was instantly covered with powerful current.
“Kr, rurrrruk-!”
The desert megalodon that was chewing my head shook uncontrollably.
It truly looked like a magnet stuck to a conductor.
White foam sprayed from its mouth.
Its mouth fell off like a puppet with loose strings.
“Kyok.”
Kuuung-
Finally, it collapsed, showing its white belly.
With the success of my strategy, I raised my body.
I slowly lowered my head to the neutralized creature.
“Kyurrr…”
Farewell, mortal…
I want to say this very famous line, but it’s impossible due to my oral structure.
I decided to make it comfortable for now.
Kwak! Chwachwachwachwachwа-!
I pierced its head first.
I consume the brain, the command center which is the basis of living beings.
Then I lowered my head and gradually penetrated into the inside of its neck.
Moving my mouth that easily crushes even steel, I indulged in the internal organs around the chest area.
I wondered if I could eat such a thing without cooking it, even if I had become a monster.
Surprisingly, the taste was amazingly good, like eating sushi.
I suck it in, closer to absorption than chewing, for quite a while.
At some point, a feeling of chewing a heart full of blood overwhelms me.
Eventually, the promised gift rises like a reward.
[Physical Predation has been activated.]
[B-class Physical Trait: Desert Megalodon (Fire Attribute) has been acquired.]
A system message appearing not much different from the hunters.
That way, I also acquired its ability to shoot fire bullets.
When you learn a new skill, you experiment immediately.
I raised my body and opened my mouth.
Hwaleuk-
“Kyurrrrr…”
Immediately, fire flickered like a furnace in my mouth.
Insufficient, but it felt like becoming a dragon.
My goodness, a Death Worm that shoots fire from its mouth?
Just as I was about to spit out a fireball to experiment.
Guuuuu……
Suddenly a strange pulsation echoed in the air.
It felt like a ship’s horn at departure.
Or a resonance similar to whales underwater.
Urrrrrrung…
In an instant, the desert horizon in all directions rippled.
Kwashushushuk-!
“Ki, shaaaak-!”
“Kyashaaaak-!”
“Krurrr-!”
Numerous fins waved in a hazy sand storm.
It was a desert shark army appearing in even greater numbers.
