“I don’t… want to die!”
Boom!
A large pillar falls from the sky . The eyes of the Lifer watching that pillar are filled with despair . His body has frozen stiff and he cannot move .
The pillar, giving off a ray of dark gray light, is rough like an animal’s skin .
The wide pillar covers the sun from the ground and crushes the Lifer . He is not visible, but he will have been smashed flat like a pancake . The diameter on the ground alone is over 10 meters . It is so wide that blood does not even seep out . It has just quietly swallowed up a human .
Boom boom!
The pillar goes back up . A lump expected to be the Lifer is squished on the floor . The wreckage also stuck to the bottom of the pillar .
The pillar that killed the Lifer is a mutant that resembles elephants . It is huge, the size if an elephant had been enlarged multiple times . It is heinous . Dark eyes, a pair of long horns, muscles all over its body, and three pairs of legs that support its body .
It is Cruel King’s pet, Hell Mammoth . It is a level 8 even if it is a pet, so it has the strength that Medusa and Beholder have .
Kurung .
Africa’s ruler is breathing in and out on Hell Mammoth’s back .
Cruel King Anubis . With a human’s body and a dog’s head, it has an ordinary appearance compared to other heinous mutants .
It is not big either . 3 or 4 meters? It only looks to be a level 3 . But Black Demon and White Queen also do not look like much before they are in their awakened states . Judging the opponent by its appearance is foolish .
“That’s strange . Were there this many humans left in my territory?”
“There is an increased inflow of humans these days . The curious thing is that they do not go by sea or land, but just suddenly appear . ”
Cruel King frowns at the subordinate’s report . When it awakened and acknowledged itself, it killed all humans in Africa .
It had not left even an ant alive . Where had they come from?
“I’m not pleased . ”
It does not like people . They are horrible . Before it became a mutant, it was born in a zoo run by humans . This is a secret that only it knows .
It had believed that life was definite at the time, but realized that it had been repressed once it awakened and exceeded the limits of living beings . With what rights are humans repressing them? It could not forgive them, and made Africa its own territory with this mighty force .
Starting a few years back however, a little activity showed and they were not coming in by hordes . It cannot understand this phenomenon . Cruel King has eyes and ears scattered all over Africa . It is impossible for tens of thousands of people to get past all of this surveillance and enter its territory . On top of that, there are humans who are stronger than Cruel King’s own soldiers . These soldiers are just at levels 1 through 5, but they are not creatures that mere humans can take on .
“What about capturing them?”
“We are targeting the ones that seem like they might be useful . ”
Any strong figure is bound to be treated better . This is the same in Africa . It is impossible to capture all of them, so they chose the strong humans . They have no intention to let any of them live . They will get information with whatever method, including torture .
“Bring me a few . ”
“Yes!”
Pat!
An eagle sitting on Cruel King’s shoulder transformed into a large mutant and went down . It is Sky Kuntar, one of its subordinates .
“That’s that… They’re going behind my back? Kuk kuk! I’m the stupid one for thinking of her as a simple female and it’s my fault for overlooking the fact that she is a human at her roots . ”
Cruel King grinds its teeth . It is angry . If anyone were to go behind another’s back, it should have been the Cruel King . Its pride as a king does not allow for getting played . Though it is just a semblance of an alliance, it had not expected that the situation would come to this . It is not hard to recognize this as a betrayal .
White Queen’s large army is too visible . The moment it went south from the Middle East and into Africa, it only took a few days for the news to travel .
“You’re positive that Black Demon let them through?”
The 6 continents are vast . Interactions between the disasters are not smooth . Cruel King and Black Demon have never met . All Cruel King knows is that he rules over Asia .
On the other hand, it is a similar situation . They need to go through Africa on land . The female and male have stuck together .
Kurung!
There is a clear sense of enmity and murder in its growling . It does not know human language . It became possible to communicate as their intelligence developed, and they systematized a language of their own . The conversation with Kuntar would have sounded like barking to a human .
Cruel King looks over the endless horizon . White Queen is beyond that . A battle with a being at the same level . Its blood boils .
Kung!
A strong roar spreads out . It contains the desire for slaughter . It is not just loud .
Wooooo!
Near Hell Mammoth, a variety of mutants in animal form are going out into the plains of Africa . There is no order in the rabble, but they are overwhelming in numbers at the least . The flames of war are burning . These flames will not go out until one dies .
***
When Blood Lord first came out of the egg, it was colorful and just 200 meters long . It grew to 350 meters as it became an adult . The ground shook even when it moved . It feels like a natural disaster . It is the largest type of all mutants .
On ground, Titan, Hell Mammoth, Blood Lord, and a few others are the only ones that categorize as super large and the rest are orthodox physically .
Blood Lord flashes fearlessly and lowers its head . White Queen, balancing herself without holding onto anything, is standing above him and gives off a feeling of noble elegance .
Kung!
White Queen detects a roar she can hear faintly . It is Cruel King . She is much farther than Cha Jun Sung is, but her level 9 senses made it so that she did not miss her opponent’s existence .
Kiak!
Blood Lord’s muscles and thorns become rigid in tension . It is the fear he feels while facing White Queen, the aura of a superior predator .
He thought that Inferno is strong as well, but the feelings did not reach fear . As soon as he saw White Queen however, his instincts warned him that he cannot fight her .
White Queen strokes Blood Lord’s head . Blood Lord enjoyed the touch, uncharacteristic of a head of Blood Parasites .
“It’s okay . Don’t be afraid and relax . Cruel King is my opponent . Blood Lord, you have a different enemy . You’ll be pleased . ”
When they were forming an alliance, she herself went over to Africa . That is when she saw Hell Mammoth, which is as big as Blood Lord . If she could not get Blood Lord on her side, it would have become Titan’s matter .
“Be on friendly terms with the others as well . ”
Kyak!
Blood Lord turns his head . Denial is evident . He does not care about Inferno or Medusa, but he is incompatible with Kimeira . Kimeira killed his mother . Kimeira is his mother’s mortal enemy and the reason why his race declined . He wanted to fight immediately and kill Kimeira . As long as White Queen is there, he cannot do it and it will not happen .
Kyak!
They can hear the screaming . White Queen looks down at the ground . They caught all of the higher level mutants they saw since entering Egypt .
She brought a large army from Europe, but Africa is Cruel King’s land . If their power is overwhelmed somehow, they are conditions under which they can make up for it .
On the other hand, White Queen cannot recruit troops . That is why they need to catch as many of them as they can . What do they do once they catch the mutants? They make them into allies .
Kyak!
Parasite King of a body transparent like jelly with strange insects inside, injects the parasite into mutants .
White? Brown? Neither . It is a level 5, green parasite . When the green parasite fuses with the higher level mutants, they immediately grow to level 6 .
Inferno’s group watches the process in awe . They multiply endlessly . Its combat ability is weak for a level 8, but its fertility is the best . White Queen also eyed Parasite King’s ability with interest when she first saw him . Was it brought over from New Zealand? It is a very rare species .
Parasite King’s body shrinks . His nutrients and energy have been consumed by sustained production . They do not multiply endlessly . The parasites it produces are level 5, but if infinite proliferation had been possible, it would have surpassed level 8 and reached level 9 areas .
It is just expressed as endless because there is no limit if he gets constant rest . Even if there are restrictions, it truly is an incredible ability . There was an increase of thousands of upper level mutants because of that ability, and they are still increasing now . It is a race specialized in group battles than they are in individual combat .
‘Red Eye . Black Demon’s bloodline . ’
White Queen faces Red Eye, who is sitting with his arms crossed arrogantly . He gives off a strong aura even amongst her subordinates . His form is split as mutant and human, but the aura he gives off is exactly the same as his father, Black Demon . Their combat styles will be the same as well .
Is it because he felt a stare? Red Eye lifts his head and looks at White Queen . It is militant . The eyes are full of yearning to fight .
‘Slightly stronger than Inferno, but transcendence hasn’t been possible yet . ’
They are just strong compared to Inferno’s group, but inadequate when compared to the disasters like Black Demon, Cruel King, or White Queen .
‘Hm… Quiet . My type . Females should be like that . ’
Red Eye watches White Queen looking at him . He is at the same level as his father . The result will already be decided, but he wants to try fighting . But this is separate from fighting, but she is the type that he likes .
He refused when Evil Queen asked to mate because it is dirty, but he would be willing to say yes if White Queen proposes it . The field is better than the seed, but a mutant at the same level as he is would easily be born .
‘I’d like to try riding him… . . ’
