Chapter 120: Parasites
"I've found three kids for the gang who meet the requirements, and now I'm the little boss in charge of all the store protection money collections on a street. β
Qiang β
"Next ....."
Those who have committed many evils are directly destroyed by humanity, and those who have committed less serious crimes are given a three-piece set of severed fingers, broken arms, and broken legs, depending on the severity of the crime. It is not certain whether they will be able to reform themselves, but it is certain that they will lose the conditions for continuing to do evil.
"Where's the treasure trove?"
Eventually, Evan awakened the leader of the stronghold and poured a psychic potion while he was unconscious.
"Ho... Ho... The treasure trove is in... Whew..."
"What did you say?"
Somewhat inaudible, Evan took a step closer.
He said to himself strangely, "Are there any other symptoms when two potions are used together? Will they be overt in a few individuals? Why does this guy look like he's about to die?"
The moment Evan approached, a sudden change occurred.
"Whewββ!"
Leaning back in the high-backed chair, the neatly dressed man's eyes suddenly widened, revealing the whites of his eyes, roaring like a beast, flying up and pounced on Aven, who was close at hand.
The man was still in mid-air, and the clothes on his abdomen were shattered in an instant, and the bloody tentacles, flesh pieces, and even wriggling organs with a strong sulfur smell had burst out first, enveloping Ai Wen like a "flower stamen" of flesh and blood.
Whoosh β
Whoosh β
"How is that possible? He's just a mortal!" was suspicious, but Evan didn't panic at all. At the same time as he dodged and flew back on tiptoe, the swift sword in his hand had turned into a snow-bright sword curtain.
Bells, bells, bells...
Even though the bloody flesh touched a powerful force far beyond the limit of mortals, it was still difficult to break through this thin sword curtain, and instead he was slashed with blood and flesh.
Roar -
Finally, before the wriggling pieces of flesh were encircled, Evan exited the room that seemed to have become a monster's lair, and escaped intact.
The man who had already undergone a strange distortion did not chase him out directly, but instead hung upside down and climbed to the ceiling like a spider full of tentacles.
His limbs were bent backwards, and he turned a swriggling belly in the direction of Aven, and he had completely turned into a deformed monster.
"It's .... Parasites?"
Evan was a little unsure, but he had seen a few brief descriptions in the library.
The parasite is a creature unique to the lower interface, belonging to one of the families of the high-level demons among many monsters, and is also a common casting medium for many human spellcaster professions such as "Demon Sacrifice" and "Demon Warlock".
It's actually very fragile, but it's cheap and very useful in controlling mortals, creating cannon fodder, and making the official rat trap.
If the guess is correct, this parasite, which is not long enough to be compared to the audience, will overdraw the vitality of the leader of the stronghold under the control of the caster behind it, and explode in the shortest possible time, making him a real man for a minute... Ahem... The Transcendent.
Although it is not very strong compared to the official knight, it is very difficult, uh, and disgusting.
'Is this some sort of Bloody Hand Gang upper echelon controlling their subordinates?'
The "monster" was not prepared to give Evan more opportunities to think.
Tick-tock, disgusting blood dripping. The middle of the wriggling flesh of the monster's abdomen seemed to bloom, and a lone mouth full of fangs was born, like the head of some kind of beast that had been half stripped of its skin, hideous and terrifying!
"Wow! Second stage transformation?!"
Wearing a mask, Ai Wen seems to have taken off his mask as a naval officer, and he is a little unleashed...
"Ho-"
After a long sigh, the terrible mouth was clearly directed by another consciousness to roar: "Dare to make trouble on the territory of the Bloody Hand Gang, leave your life behind." β
RaββοΌοΌοΌ
As he exhaled a strange syllable, some kind of unique energy quickly converged in the air.
Then, the invisible impact spread out like ripples, faster than sound, and quickly caught up with Aven, who was about to continue to retreat.
"Not good!"
Bang β
Knock him out with an irresistible force, slamming it against the wall across the room.
"Ahem... Ahem..."
Evan coughed and got up, but this blow made him feel as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer, and received a dull blow.
Thankfully, no one saw it, and he retracted what he had just said, admitting that this guy wasn't just a little tough.
Sure enough, it's the limitation of the physics profession.,In the face of physical attacks, whether it's swords or arrows, guns, bullets, as long as the reaction is fast enough and the strength is big enough, there is no problem of being unable to resist.,But when it comes to this kind of unreasonable magic attack.,As a knight, you can't even defend.γ
"But I'm not just a knight. β
With the sword in its sheath, his hands wiped over his waist, and the gun in his hand in an instant, the sophisticated double-barreled musket that was once captured from the "Scarlet Shooter" Sean has become Major Aven's right-hand weapon.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"
The tentacle meat piece waved, protecting the terrifying mouth in the middle, but ignoring the stronghold leader's body.
Zi β
"Whew...."
Listening to the sound of a soldering iron falling on his skin, Evan smirked:
"It's so naΓ―ve, since I know that you are dealing with lower-level demons, how could I not be prepared. The buckshot soaked in No. 3 holy water is already the highest grade product that can be bought on the market. β
"Try this again!"
A glass vial containing a pale golden liquid was thrown out by Aven, and under his extraordinary power, the small vial was like a cannonball, and it had exploded before the tentacles could react.
"Whewββ!!!"
A piercing scream almost tore through Aiwen's eardrum, and after enduring the discomfort, Aven drew his sword again, and his body writhed into an afterimage and rushed towards the monster that had begun to melt under the erosion of the holy water.
Whoosh β
The swift sword turned into a cloud of silver lightning, piercing the air with a sharp roar, and with a pop, it pierced through the "monster's" abdomen, nailing it directly to the ceiling.
No matter how powerful the parasite is, its host is just an ordinary person who is not even a transcendent being, and it will no longer be able to use the magic ability it just now.
"Ho... Offended our Bloody Hand Gang, you... You can't escape...."
"Hey, don't you have any new words?" Evan plucked out his ears, despairing at the pale vocabulary of these villains.
Take out a bottle of high-altitude distilled spirit from the wine cabinet in the room and splash it on the "monster", igniting it directly.
Rise!
The flames are blazing...
Aven knew that the spellcaster behind the parasite was unharmed, and that he had killed just a puppet cannon fodder, but he didn't worry about the other party finding him.
Amazing is a full-fledged wizard-level spellcaster, and unless he kills him head-on, his mystical knowledge and the transcendent personality of a full-fledged knight are enough to deal with the detection from the mystical side.
Just outside this room, on the smooth marble floor, a ritual made of candles and spices had burned out.
Before the action, Evan had already used the anti-divination ritual to cut off the spiritual connection between this place and the outside world, and cooperated with his transcendent personality to work together, unless he found a superior wizard who specialized in the prophecy school, he didn't want to find his head.
Is it possible? Headmaster Princeton, as the strongest wizard in the kingdom, is only a third-order wizard!
If they want to go through the official channels, then Evan has to raise his hands to welcome them.
has already received the communication authorization of Her Royal Highness Livina, the daughter of the second king, plus the three extremely heavy medals that she has just obtained, as long as she does not have a convulsion in her head, there will be no unofficial forces in this place of the Kingdom of Pharytis who can move themselves in the open.
However, this thought was only fleeting, and Evan had no intention of using the crown prince's relationship as a last resort.
The backstage can be used as insurance, but it cannot be arrogant as a personal skill.
If he can't continue on the path of transcendence, or even exceed some people's expectations, Ai Wen doesn't believe that their attitude towards him will be the same as always, and it still needs to be hard to strike iron.
"Bingo, here's the unboxing time that everyone loves!"
