"This mode of reproduction...... Why does it sound so familiar?" Roger thought to himself as he listened to Harrison's account of the secrets he had seen in his memories of the 'parasitic species'.

Isn't that exactly the same as an alien?

Roger vaguely remembers that the kind of monster called Xenomorph created out of thin air by people in previous lives seems to be very similar to the 'parasitic species' in every way. The only difference may be that the parasitism is different, the parasitism of the 'parasitic species' is to mentally control the parasite in order to hunt more prey, and the paramorphism is to use the human body as a carrier, hatch, and finally break out.

Thinking of this, Roger asked, "Does it have any memories about the strength of the mother?"

"It's not directly comparable to the wizard's strength, but I can remember seeing the mother hunt other creatures...... Unlike their offspring, the Mother doesn't seem to possess the ability of mind control, but it can evolve itself by devouring other lifeforms, and judging by what I've seen, the Mother definitely has the strength of a full-fledged wizard or above!" Harrison muttered.

It's a big trouble this time!

Hearing Harrison's words, except for Longbottom, who didn't know what was going on with the wizard, everyone's hearts sank.

"What do you mean by a formal wizard, is it powerful?" Longbottom asked in a low voice to Wayne, who couldn't understand why the crowd was surprisingly quiet after hearing the word.

"It's amazing, it's amazing...... More than you can imagine. Wayne replied in a trembling voice.

"How is it compared to several adults?" asked Longbottom, cautiously, lest he say the wrong thing.

Wayne was stumped by his question and didn't know how to answer him.

Seeing that Wayne couldn't come up with a reason for a long time, Roger knew that he was afraid that he would say the wrong thing and annoy a few of them, so he replied to him: "To put it simply, any of us here is no different from an ordinary person for an official wizard. Even if we were all tied together, in the eyes of a full-fledged wizard, we would all be able to kill in the palm of our hand. ”

"This ...... This ......" Longbottom was dumbfounded. If that matrix was really as powerful as Roger described, it was indeed beyond his comprehension.

But in this way, wouldn't the mainland be hopeless?

Even the existence of Roger, who was already strong in his eyes, could not be matched, if he really succeeded in descending here and waiting for the fate of this continent, it would undoubtedly be extremely tragic.

Thinking of this, Longbottom's heart was filled with despair.

For Roger, the feeling of despair is out of the question, even if the mother body of those 'parasitic species' really descends on this continent, they will retreat, and the only loss may be that the reward for this mission will definitely not be obtained.

As for the consequences of the mother's arrival?

That would not be within their consideration, and if things really went in that direction, the 'Sky Canyon' behind the academy would naturally send an official wizard to settle the matter. Regardless of whether that parent body really has the strength of a formal wizard or above, when facing the 'Chaotic Sky Canyon', which rules over hundreds or thousands of dimensional worlds and has a huge number of official wizards, the outcome can only end in hatred.

"But do you really want to just give up on the mission?" Roger was unwilling.

This is his first task, and the reward is quite generous, so he is really unwilling to give up so inexplicably!

Not only him, but none of the few people present were willing.

Harrison added, "You don't have to give up on the mission......

"Huh?"

Several people looked at him together, waiting for his next step.

“...... The sacrificial rites of those 'parasites' take time, which is why they will leave some coalition forces to contain this continent, just for fear that the ritual will be affected by unpredictable external forces, and from what I have seen, those 'parasites' who are responsible for self-sacrifice should not be away for too long, no more than two days at most, which is not enough time to complete the sacrificial ceremony. ”

Harrison's words gave a glimmer of hope to several people who had already decided to give up the mission.

Roger analyzed in an orderly manner: "In this case, we still have a chance to fight, as long as we arrive before their sacrifice ceremony is completed and seal the spatial rift, then the mother body will not be able to come, in comparison, the rest of the 'parasitic species' are troublesome, but they are still within our tolerance." ”

"But then the stakes are much greater than before, and if we get there they have already completed the sacrifice, we are in a precarious position. Harrison hesitated.

It's not that he doesn't understand what Roger said, but the risks involved are also predictable.

At this moment, Augustine said coldly: "Practicing spells, alchemy experiments, and exploring other dimensions...... Which one is not risky? The wizard's path, if you don't advance, you will retreat!"

"It's rare for a dead face to say a human word, and this time I agree with him that I won't give up on my mission. Apollo, a shy young man who had been standing beside Ram and had no sense of presence, also spoke.

Ram was robbed of what he wanted to say by Apollo, and he looked at him dissatisfiedly before saying, "Me too." ”

Roger didn't say anything, just looked at Harrison and said seriously: "You don't need to be reluctant, if you are not willing to take the risk, you can choose to quit the mission and think about it carefully." ”

"No need!" Harrison gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go with you." ”

"Actually, you don't have to worry too much, let's not talk about whether we can get there before the sacrifice ceremony is completed, even if we go late, the mother body of those 'parasitic species' has really arrived, we just need to retreat, it may not be able to target us. Roger smiled and comforted.

At this time, Carnegie had already disposed of the 'parasitic seed' that had been detected by Harrison, and walked over, unlike Roger and the others, he was sent by the academy to assist them in completing the mission, and since Roger and the others decided to continue the mission, Carnegie had no right to veto.

However, as a teaching assistant, he is indeed more experienced than Roger and them, but he took out a white card and wrote something on it, and said to Roger and them: "I have reported the change of the task to the academy, and I don't know what opinion the academy will give, but according to my experience, the reward after completing the task will be increased somewhat, and in addition, if the situation really reaches the point where we can't do it, the academy should make a remedy." ”

Roger then opened his mouth and asked Longbottom and Wayne, "Do you two know where the source of those 'parasitic species' is?"

"My lord, do you mean that spatial rift?" asked Wayne.

"Not bad. ”

"If we had rushed over as fast as we could, it would have been about a day and a half away. Wayne thought for a moment and speculated, "Shall we go now?"

"Don't worry, don't miss this time and a half, you can explain the situation there first, so that we can make a plan and prevent it. Roger shook his head.

Wayne nodded, and after a quick exchange with Longbottom, he was left to explain the situation at the source of the 'parasitic species' on his own.
