She is so weak that a Lifer could kill her with a submachine gun .
“That – that was a Dragonos, right? It’s a dream! Please say this is a dream!”
“That – that?”
“There’s only one . Won’t we be able to kill it?”
“You crazy bastard! Can’t you see? It’s a top level just from its appearance!”
Black Demon looks like a half mutant with several pairs of eyes and horns .
Even his actions are worryingly relaxed after jumping off of Dragonos . They do not know how the mission has become so entangled, but this is a level 7 at the least .
“There’s a lot I’m curious about . First, let’s handle the situation . ”
Papat!
Black Demon dug in where there were the most Lifers gathered together .
Ping!
Thorns come out from all over his body . Hundreds of thorns spread out widely .
Lifers within a 100m radius are unable to avoid them, and are skewered . White Queen is included in that radius, but the thorns in her range shorten or change direction .
Kuk!
The thorns go back .
There are clear traces of the thorns left in the Lifers .
Wounds that mean death . Hundreds of people died within seconds .
“Be careful . Those people, I don’t know how, but they appear by jumping through space . That’s why you can’t end their support in the middle . ”
“Pft . With this standard, I could kill tens of thousands . Isn’t that right?”
White Queen did not refute . Honestly, it is true . Even if it weren’t him, she would have been able to do so as well if she were in good condition .
Black Demon moved around everywhere and took care of Lifers who were rebelling . It is like picking off flies because there is a gap in ability that cannot be narrowed .
White Queen was fragmentary, but she enjoyed Black Demon’s battle and understood what exactly whole body mutation is . He changes to his will and attacks . It is so irregular that his next move is unpredictable .
“Why don’t they appear?”
White Queen watched Black Demon fight and thought it strange that more Lifers were not being summoned . This is another measure taken by the helpers .
It is worth using Lifers against White Queen and Inferno’s group because they are injured . However, there is no longer any use since Black Demon has appeared .
It is impossible to get through his defense . Though they consider Lifers disposable soldiers, they cannot just pour them into poison .
Koo!
Dragon’s roar, fiery flames . The other battlefield lights up like it is daytime . Dragonos’ breath sets fire to a large radius .
The range is like a disc .
Even mutants of the same level cannot come out safe from a compressed breath with heat of thousands of degrees .
Red Eye avoids being hit with the fire head on as well .
Black Demon extends his finger like a string, found Inferno’s group where they were spread out, and pulled them close to him, where White Queen is . It looks like Lifers are not being summoned in anymore, but they cannot let their guards down . If they are moving through space, Lifers could appear right next to them out of nowhere .
They could get stabbed in the back . It is easier to protect them if they are gathered together in one place .
“Are you surprised?”
“I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t . Did you watch from beginning to end?”
Not only White Queen, but Inferno’s group had also not been expecting Black Demon to appear, thinking that he was just a bystander . But he had fallen to them from the sky .
As White Queen said, it would be a lie and strange if they said they were not surprised .
“No, I just arrived . I estimated the time to come, but it seems I wasn’t late . ”
With Dragon’s speed, he can get from Asia to Africa in a day . The driving force from his 3 pairs of wings match that of a jet . That is why he had not felt that he needed to go in advance . They will catch up to the others even if they leave later . Dragon got the scents of White Queen and Inferno’s group when they were going back to Asia from Buckingham Palace, and used these as indicators to find them .
“It seems there aren’t any additional attacks . But that cocoon – what is that?”
Black Demon approached the cocoon .
A powerful beating signal vitals . He is overflowing with curiosity .
He has seen a lot of rare and interesting things in his life, but this cocoon in front of him is also fascinating .
“Hm… Not even I know what will be born from that . All I know is that the worm you sent us as support became parasitic to Cruel King . ”
“Worm?”
Black Demon’s voice grows louder . He cannot express his surprise with words . Parasite King had been singing that he would find a strong host, and it seems he has achieved his wish . What Black Demon knows is that Parasite King is a level 8 Disaster and Cruel King is level 9 . A predator has swallowed up a higher predator .
Black Demon puts his palm to the surface of the beating cocoon . There is a limit to what he can see with just his eyes . Splitting it is the most certain way to see what is inside .
But that would be forcing it out .
That would harm Parasite King, not benefit him in any way . What he can find out by putting his palm to it is also extremely limited, but he can feel the ongoing birth process and feel the flow .
“It’s strong, gentle, tight, and tough . ”
“Of course . ”
White Queen explains .
The outside of the cocoon is created with a combination of Cruel King’s fur, and is an outer wall to protect what is inside against enemies . Black Demon felt all over the cocoon and admitted that he cannot break through it in its current state . There is no chance of his being able to do it unless he awakens .
“It’s active . The body is being reconstructed . I’m sure he must have been injured severely if he fought . Then he’ll probably be born after completely healing all of that as well . ”
It took root in the ground like a plant and took nutrients from the earth .
It will develop through actions like supplementing water when it rains . This does not look like it will end within a few days .
If it takes a long time, it could take a few months or even a few years .
As a parasite, this is the end, the final evolution where nothing can make him more powerful .
Black Demon closed his eyes and looked all over the cocoon for reactions like a doctor listening to a patient through a stethoscope .
White Queen and Inferno’s group wanted to touch it for themselves as well, but they refrained from doing anything unnecessary because they were not sure what could go wrong .
They cannot control their bodies fully because they are injured . If they do something wrong, they could kill it in one go .
“It’s here . ”
Boom boom!
After touching various places, the place with the strongest sign of vitals .
This is probably where a mutant’s source, the nucleus, is growing .
This kind of important evolution is normally done secretly in a quiet place . But Parasite King had not been able to do that because he was in a rush . It is an opportunity that he will never have again, so he left everything out . It is hard to say whether he is brave or stupid .
Ss ss ss
The change was subtle .
When Black Demon’s hand got closer to where the nucleus is, a part of the cocoon twisted and attacked him . White Queen was taken aback and retreated backwards, while Black Demon took the hit .
Because he is close?
Because he couldn’t get away?
Neither .
Hundreds of hairs embed on Black Demon’s body . Some get on his arms and legs, and some on vital spots . He is covered in skewers .
“It hurts . Huh? Hah! Look at this guy . He’s going to try to fill the nutrients he lacks through me?”
The hairs stick a straw in Black Demon’s body . It is so strong that the strength being sucked out is insufficient, but it will reach the end at some point if it is not limitless .
Then? All that is left is death .
“Tsk!”
Black Demon’s right arm becomes sharp . He brandished his sword-like arm, cut the hairs stuck to his body, and absorbed them instead .
“It’d be best to leave it alone . It is offensive that it attacked me, but this is an ally that can provide great strength and we can’t take him out right now anyway . ”
They did not have a choice from the beginning .
It is best to leave it alone unless they are going to take him out by force . He only touched it half out of curiosity and half as a joke .
Koo!
“I guess that side is done too . ”
He can see Dragon letting out breaths of victory among the flames . The fire rises as though it will burn the clouds . If the enemy is still alive, he would need to blow that smoke down . This useless performance either means that the battle is ending or has ended .
“What will you do now?”
“Since my biggest goal Cruel King is dead, I’ll go back to England, treat my wounds, and take a look at Africa’s ecosystem . ”
