“Get back!”
The only ones who reacted to Red Eye’s shout were the same-level mutants .
Inferno ignited and spread red flames everywhere .
Blood Lord got far away with a couple waves with Beholder on his back .
The parasites that flew at Inferno couldn’t even get near him as they burned, much less dig into his skin .
Kyak!
The parasites swarm toward the giant Blood Lord .
He is powerful .
In the memory that Parasite King injected into them, that giant monster is one of the four targets they need to infect .
The thousands of level 1 blood sucking insects stuck to Blood Lord’s coat, bare their teeth at the threat to their king .
The blood sucking goblins and demons were already in an all out war with the level 5 parasites the size of human fists, in which they would either be infected or killed .
The outlook isn’t good .
They were being pushed back .
There are a lot of parasites, but they are as fast as they are small, so they were infected in the blink of an eye . The infected blood sucking goblins and demons were blank for a bit, and then began to attack their own species on the side of the parasites .
Red Eye roams the sky . He watches the battlefield from up high . With the parasites’ surprise attack; they were swept into a tussle with one explosion .
“It would be easy to clear up if it were just the parasites . ”
Inferno emits flames as a characteristic of his species, but he is confident they can come out without a single scar without such special abilities .
How fast could they be?
They are just maggots to Red Eye .
The thing that bothers him is Parasite King .
He finally moves .
From the middle of the exploded cocoon, a mid-sized mutant stretches out his curled body . The form is similar to Cruel King . Instead of a gold mane, it is covered in a sticky and sluggish liquid that is transparent like water that shows the organs inside .
There’s no way to know why he changed like that, though Parasite King himself would know .
“Beholder!”
As soon as Parasite King moved, the already red Inferno gave off a powerful heat like the sun . He can’t just run away .
They need to retain force as well . And this was up to Inferno and Red Eye . Beholder, who is weak in battle, took on mental disturbance . Blood Lord is so big, that he is unable to distinguish between allies and enemies if he fights in the mix .
“Hee hee! That bastard! He’s trying to make Africa his world!”
Papat!
Beholder used his telepathic abilities to tell Red Eye, Inferno, and Blood Lord what Parasite King is thinking .
There’s no need nor time to explain to each .
It is more easily relayed than through speaking . Red Eye and Inferno reacted before Blood Lord .
Red Eye ran away into the sky and Inferno the ground . Blood Lord abandoned his underlings . He didn’t care much because he can produce more .
‘How simple . ’
He is eager . It is a concept beyond good and evil .
Parasite King wants to create a world in which parasites could live . He wants Africa .
Moreover…
“He wants to infect us and use us as subjects . ”
Most of the level 8s in Africa were wiped out .
It is ownerless .
There could be mutants hidden somewhere, but this is the current situation .
From Beholder’s calculations, Parasite King is weaker than White Queen but not something that the four of them can deal with .
As the parasite species has limits in strength, they prove themselves through seizure and breeding capability of parasitism .
He is sure that they have other abilities . Whatever they are, they will be dangerous .
They need to get away .
But there’s no way Parasite King will just let this happen .
“You… need to become mine . ”
Boom!
Parasite King rushes out in a straight line with a large driving force .
He’s so fast he isn’t even visible .
The parasites get stepped on . The blood sucking goblins in front also fall over like bowling pins .
It feels like something is behind him . Inferno turns around . He is being chased . They are running to where the sea is .
They had created a plan beforehand . Moving through the sky is better, but there are no flying mutants that are capable of handling Blood Lord .
Not even Dragon would have been able to carry him .
Power dissipation is dangerous, so they plan on crossing the sea with Blood Lord .
‘If we stop even for a moment…’
If they can do it, running away becomes a lot easier . Blood Lord is great at swimming . Being strong and being active in the water are separate matters .
If they get there, Parasite King won’t be able to follow . It’s just hard to get there .
‘Hit and run . ’
Inferno sudden turned while running away, and rushed back at Parasite King .
Surprise attack .
He pretends to run away and attacks .
A high fever kick is aimed at Parasite King’s chest .
There is a difference in power, but there’s no safety after getting hit with a surprise attack by a mutant of Inferno’s level . Parasite King must have been surprised too, because he shuddered .
Bang!
Inferno’s attack hit his chest hard . The strange smell of burning skin spreads . Inferno’s foot went through Parasite King’s chest . It is a fatal blow that would have been able to kill a lower level mutant, but ultra high level mutants can treat it with rapid regeneration .
“Ack! You!”
Inferno struggles to get his foot out .
It doesn’t come out as if it were stuck in quicksand . He lifted his head and met eyes with Parasite King .
“One . ”
In this situation, there’s no way not to know what “one” means .
One out of four .
It means Parasite King will infect Inferno .
His foot isn’t just stuck . Parasite King is holding it so he can’t pull it out .
Eek!
With a sound that could make someone’s eardrums burst, a clear parasite forms from Parasite King’s heart .
“That – that bastard!”
It is the clear parasite that Parasite King created when he infected Cruel King .
It is dangerous .
If that goes into his body and takes over his brain, it is all over .
The clear parasite digs at Inferno’s thigh . The leg stuck in Parasite King’s chest is burning in flames, but unable to protect him from the parasite .
That very moment .
Red Eye fell from the sky and cut Inferno’s leg off . Then he carried him and flew up . Inferno’s flames burned Red Eye’s body, but he used regeneration to withstand it .
Inferno knew this and decreased the heat . He almost died .
“It was a mistake . ”
“Be careful . ”
“It’s fine though because it made him pause his chase . Beholder got away . ”
It is true .
While Inferno risked his life to buy time, Blood Lord and Beholder ran far . They had gotten to their destination .
Red Eye looked at Parasite King while flying . He is conflicted . It is because he himself brought him here . It isn’t anything like guilt .
Feelings like that don’t fit with mutants .
He just feels weird about it .
“It’s early to let your guard down . ”
It’s true .
They need to stay alert until they get out of here completely .
It isn’t over yet .
This is probably only just the beginning .
