Chapter 69: Parasitic Work

"Kurt, try to sense if there are any remnants of mind-manipulating elements in that village."

"It's very intense. You don't need to summon a night crow to be able to sense it clearly. ”

"Really? In that case – don't hesitate to act! ”

"Yes."

An eerie smile appeared on Kurt's face.

"Nightfall" is falling.

The sky, which had been dyed red by the setting sun, instantly turned black - the sky was instantly surrounded by ominous crows.

A heart-rending wail heralded the end of the village.

Waiting for the Doomsday's proclamation, Kurt activated the spell.

"Crow killing."

It was as if thousands of black ink were splattered onto the ground.

The crows suddenly swooped down on the ground in a frenzy, swarming and crashing into the village.

What a spectacular sight – a mountain of crows began to cover the village.

In the end, he turned his own flesh into a sea of blood that flooded the village.

Until there is no more half a crow falling into the village, until the sky returns to its original gentleness.

"Let's go inside."

"Yes."

Wu walked slowly towards the village contaminated by pitch-black blood.

The moment he stepped into the village, Wu's heart was very breathtaking-

"Crow Killing" is an absolutely unavoidable regional consciousness magic.

Even if you only touch half a drop of crow's blood, if you only glimpse half a crow, if you only smell the slightest smell of a crow, you can always make the victim fall into a nightmare from which she cannot extricate himself.

This is absolutely powerful consciousness magic.

Having already guessed that the villagers are under the mind control of the other party, Wu intends to use more powerful consciousness magic to cover and destroy the original effect - due to the possibility of facing the mastermind behind the scenes, it will inevitably lead to a battle.

These villagers can be turned into their weapons at any moment.

To do this, let them fall into a dream that only Kurt can disable, so as to block the other party's means.

Of course, there is no need to go to such great lengths to cast such powerful consciousness magic.

I'm afraid that the other party has set up a blocking magic that can interfere with Curt's ability in advance-

The Great Crow Kill is a consciousness magic of the "Dragon Rank" strength. With the strength of human beings, it is absolutely impossible to compete with it.

The scene in the village is quite terrifying.

It is like a post-apocalyptic scene of corpses strewn across the field, and the villagers are lying on top of the dead crow's corpse.

In fact, it's just a dream.

Among these lying villagers, Wu was looking for the two suspicious figures.

Lola & Behemo.

But there is no familiar figure in the eye.

Not only the villagers who are lying down, but also the conscious figures do not exist.

Aren't they in the village?

-- when there is reasonable suspicion.

A sudden dark elemental attack from behind.

Kurt reacted instantly, unfurling the pitch-black wings behind him, easily resisting the assault for Wu.

The explosion was deafening, and smoke filled the air.

"Master Fortes, it looks like someone is trying to attack you."

"It seems that the 'main character' has appeared."

Although he didn't show the slightest panic, he was actually so frightened that he couldn't do it.

I didn't notice it at all. If Kurt wasn't here, he might have been hit.

Wu and Kurt both turn to the source of the attack.

Waiting for the smoke to clear, a familiar figure appeared in the distance.

That person was Lola.

"Retract your wings. The other party is just a human being, and your form will frighten the other party. ”

"Yes."

Kurt quickly withdrew his wings.

The two were standing at the entrance to the village.

"I'm back—should I tell you that?"

Wu still said hello in a friendly manner.

"Not necessarily."

Lola replied coldly.

"It's amazing—the magic of the man next to Mr. Forts is dangerous."

"Novelty?"

"It's a novelty, indeed, but it seems that you're not an ordinary businessman, are you?"

"Hehe, each other. I didn't expect us to be able to deceive each other so tacitly. ”

"Is it really debunked......? When did you find out? ”

"Well, actually—not exactly my acumen. When I spoke to the village chief this morning, I was skeptical. ”

"Why?"

"Because the village chief praised me for my 'amazing strength'. How do patients who have been in a coma all night know my true strength? The only possibility is that the caster who is manipulating the village chief has seen it with his own eyes. ”

"Is that how we are behind it?"

Such speculation is certainly not rigorous. It's just that the people who survived my power last night are the villagers—aren't you and Besymour? ”

"Hahahaha! Even if you talk about this, I won't say more. ”

Lola sneered in satisfaction.

At this time, Wu once again uses the ability of "gluttony" to peek at the elements in Lola's body.

The results were astonishing.

Turquoise elements are presented instead of purple.

It seems that the caster who is manipulating these villagers is someone else.

Bessemore.

Anyway - Besymour is not here either.

"I'll ask you a question, where is Behemo?"

"There's something he can't do."

"Are you going to go it alone?"

"It was intended—but the gentleman next to you looks very dangerous."

"So you're going to surrender?"

"Not really. To be able to use such powerful consciousness magic, I guess I am not good at other magic, right? ”

"What do you mean?"

He asked puzzled. However, Lola did not respond positively.

"Regardless of the gentleman. The power you used last night was amazing, but it doesn't seem like you can use it on a large scale, right? ”

Smile evilly again.

Faintly, a noisy roar seemed to be heard in the distance. It sounds like the roar of a horde of monsters.

In an instant, Wu realized Lola's intentions.

"That's it — hopefully we'll have a chance to meet in the future."

Dropping a smile of pity, Lola turned to leave.

The back gradually disappeared into the eyes of Wu and Kurt—hundreds of monsters that followed.

Demon ape, ghost-faced lion, skeleton elephant, bone lizard...... There are even rare monsters that I have never seen before.

All of them are high-level dangerous monsters.

This amount and intensity is enough to slaughter an entire town.

It was only then that I realized what Lola meant.

Consciousness magic is a secondary skill, and no matter how powerful it is, it can only deal mental damage.

But it cannot do any real harm to the flesh.

It would be a difficult task to control the mental condition of so many monsters at the same time.

The best way to annihilate them in one fell swoop is to attack directly with magic.

However - Magisters who are good at using consciousness magic are usually not good at elemental magic that attacks physically.

This is an iron rule that is difficult to change.

That's why Lola thinks Kurt can't do hand-to-hand combat perfectly.

As for my power, I don't need to be on Lola's beware, I still don't have a clear control over it.

But I'm not the cowardly self I was last night.

I've mastered the power of gluttony—isn't the crisis in front of me exactly what I crave?

"Kurt, protect the villagers and step aside."

"Don't you need a small one to clean it up for you?"

"It's okay – it's my appetizer and a 'first hello' to the world."

"Yes."

Kurt chuckled in response, snapping his fingers—

The sleeping villagers slowly sank into the pitch-black carrion of the crows, and disappeared without a trace.

The work of conservation is done. Kurt spatialized his body and disappeared into thin air.

This was followed by performances from people who had never performed magic before.

The monster was rushing towards Wu with great momentum.

Wu stood alone in place, calmly staring at the group of monsters that were about to pounce on him.

Raise your cold hands.

The palms of both hands began to condense the intense fire element, which ignited violently in an instant.

The sudden burst of huge flames immediately frightened the vicious monster horde.

The monster fell into a brief stagnation.

Suddenly, Wu's side began to be filled with an unknown atmosphere.

Even the unintelligent bugs are terrified of this.

The monster horde began to regress.

Wu is slowly approaching the group of monsters.

The battle has not yet begun, and the winner seems to have been decided.

"Burn!"

Throwing out flames that engulfed the entire land, the horde of monsters instantly fell into a sea of flames—monsters that were not spared.

Screams of pain and the strong smell of burning filled the scorching air.

The fire raged and destroyed the entire village.

The offensive has not been stopped.

"Ironclad."

Tens of thousands of white spears were condensed around him, and the sharp spear heads emitted a cold air, neatly pointing at the monsters struggling in the sea of fire.

Wu slowly raised his right hand, preparing for an exciting command.

Finally put it down.

As if from heaven's sanctions—silver-white spears cut through the blazing flames and plunged into the flesh that was about to be burned.

It's such a thrilling picture. However, Wu was not satisfied with this.

On the contrary, there is a greater desire for a "slaughter" that is close to perfection.

Iron armor is used again to create more white guns - an overwhelming rain of guns is trying to extinguish the fire.

I don't know how long it has been.

Truly nightfall.

There are no buildings left in the village of Tergasna today.

Instead, only a few flames remained, with crumbling char and incomplete skeletons.

Wu stood quietly in this terrifying scene.

Smiling with ease.

There is not a drop of sweat or blood on the face, and it looks so relaxed.

As if there had never been a fight at all.

It was at this moment that his heart was sublimated - this would be the prelude to the transformation of his whole family.

In Kurt's illusory space, there is a rather luxurious "King Hall".

On the crystal floor, which seems to be like clear water, the crystal floor is covered with a gold-edged red-bottomed blanket woven by Idehela, which is nearly 10 kilometers long, which shows that the space of the royal hall is very considerable.

In the depths of the royal hall, there is only a luxurious "throne", the skeleton is made of the horns of the noble and rare iron-bone bull god, and the length, width, and height of the throne are all tailor-made, just for the ride of the lord of all gods - gluttony.

The royal hall was very empty, and there was no decoration except for a few pillars.

Because this royal hall has just been built.

The architects and designers who create the unreal space are not the responsibility of Kurt, as the owner and power of the entire space, Kurt still has a god around him who is responsible for various operations.

To create a separate room in particular, this would have cost Kurt a third of his power, varying in size with each new room, and in the case of this exaggerated royal hall, it would have consumed a third of its strength.

But Kurt was willing.

Because everything here is for supreme gluttony, willing giving.

There is no remorse.

Several figures walked into the royal hall, clear footsteps echoing among the pillars.

Fortes, Nighthouse, Kurt, and Chio.

"This royal hall is really luxurious."

Wu commented rather calmly, his deep gaze making it difficult to let go of the surrounding scene.

Wu, who has lived in the palace since he was a child, is naturally very accustomed to this kind of magnificent decoration.

What is it that makes Wu keep looking at it?

Because it's a different concept from the human world.

For the first time, I saw the magic of space magic.

Because of such a large and high-level royal hall, it only took less than half a day.

Kurt smiled with satisfaction and bowed thanksgivingly.

"I hope the size of the Royal Hall can match your strength."

"yes...... It's just that the space is too big, and it seems a little lonely. ”

"Ah...... It was a small idea that was not well conceived, and I asked the designer to reinvent it. ”

He hurriedly bowed nervously and apologized.

In fact, it was just Wu's unintentional self-talk, but it still made Kurt feel guilty.

However, Wu reached out and stopped Kurt from bowing.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter what kind of room it is, anyway, the future activity space will be dominated by the human world."

"I see, it seems that small thinking is too superficial."

"Yes."

Wu chose to perfunctory Cote's self-blame.

After a few days of getting along, Wushu is a little accustomed to the thinking of the monarch mode.

But he still hates this way of getting along from the bottom of his heart.

Too restrained, too cumbersome, too depressing.

This is not the power you want at all.

But it's useless to complain, these Patronus Spirits who have sworn allegiance to me will definitely not listen.

If I want to make my life better, I have to take the initiative to make friends with humans or subspecies with open personalities.

Further, even if they know my true identity, they are willing to face me calmly.

I hope so!

"En......"

Wu snorted softly, and slowly walked to the throne equal to himself.

Isn't it just a chair, and it's so exaggerated, Kurt is really not soft on his strength.

With their butts pressed against their new seats, the three Patronus Saints immediately faced Wu and respectfully knelt on one knee.

The first "official" meeting after the completion of the royal hall.

Compared to the previous first meeting, it was still more formal and serious than the garden.

Wu first focused his flat gaze on Kurt's body.

"Kurt, will I feel unhappy when I brutally snatch the body you used for experiments?"

"Nope! How is this possible? If you need to, even if it's a small piece of flesh! ”

“…… I knew you would say that. ”

In fact, it's just a vain question.

How can a subordinate who is so determined to be so determined on his boss blame his boss?

But let's ignore the true emotions in the hearts of my subordinates-

If I don't respond positively to this contribution, I will be overbearing as a boss.

Appropriate incentives are required.

"For that, I've taken up the resources around you, and in return, I want to give you some gifts."

Kurt shook his head without hesitation in refusal.

"As long as you can be loyal to your command, it is undoubtedly the most wonderful reward."

"No, allegiance to me is your duty as a patron saint, and it is also a job, and it should not be a reward, but a trembling attitude! That is, the two points cannot be confused. ”

"What you say is absolutely true! The little ones are really ignorant, please forget the rude words just now. ”

"Yes. So, what gift do you want? Just don't go too far. ”

"In that case...... If you can borrow the 'adult males' you have just captured, you can borrow about ten of them. ”

The corners of Curt's mouth, who couldn't hide his excitement, slowly rose, even if Curt couldn't hold back a smile, Wu could also see that-

It was a smile born of a perverted mentality.

Wu suddenly felt a chill.

My instinct told me that I could never say yes.

But such a decisive refusal could hurt Kurt.

"You...... What do you want an adult male to do? ”

"Don't worry, it's just a matter of getting a few men to participate in the 'experiment.'"

"Is it really just experiments? There shouldn't be any danger to life or mental damage, right? ”

"About this little one, you can pat your chest and guarantee!"

As if he had already seen through Wu's worries, Kurt's response was like a stream, as fast as a standard reply that had already been memorized.

But Wu is thinking-

You have to trust your subordinates.

Regardless of the point from which point you start, the connection between yourself and these patronus spirits must be stronger.

With enough trust, I believe that I will soon be able to understand the personality and thinking of each guardian spirit.

Although I am still a little worried...... But I believe that Kurt will be obedient.

Let's hope there won't be a problem of getting out of control.

"Well...... All right! After the meeting, come with me to the selection. ”

"Thank you for your kindness."

"So—it's your next turn, Nighthouse."

With worry in his eyes, Wu regained his serious gaze and turned to the Night Pavilion beside Kurt.

The current Night Pavilion maintains the image of a young and handsome white-haired man, with a clean and dignified dark green suit and pairs of pure white gloves, which makes Wu feel from the bottom of his heart that God is really unseemly.

It's the opposite of the weird rotten old man from before.

Although it was because of the large number of splits, Wu still hoped that the Night Pavilion would maintain this image in the future.

I don't judge people's personalities by their appearance, but at least don't exaggerate too much.

If it's still the same as before the split, I'm afraid it will scare most of humanity to death.

"Do you have any orders?"

"Well, what's the progress of the parasitic work on the ghost anchovy?"

"My lord, thanks to the fresh flesh presented by Kurt, the ghost anchovy has already adapted to the beginning, and only needs to start changing the humidity and temperature of the living environment, and the two major variables may change the genes of the ghost anchovy."

"Have you ever thought about swapping parasites for other species?"

"As you said, in addition to humans, various poultry, and some middle- and low-level monsters, the current parasites are currently considering adding higher-level monsters to participate in the experiment, but it's a pity that the number of monsters in this area is too small."

In other words, the lack of sample size leads to a slow progress of the experiment...... Is it? ”
