78 – World 11. Rescue (2)

Apart from the good method Lee Si-yeon told me, when I arrived at the hatchery, my party and I looked up at the flesh structure that was almost 15 meters high.

‘I’m sure it’s the feeling of luck.’

It seemed like it would take some time to find it because of its size.

‘By the way, why did you kidnap Ksura?’

Of course, from the point of view of the thugs, the player’s body seemed worth studying.

According to the achievement value, the body and ability gradually become stronger.

I thought maybe he was trying to interpret it, but I didn’t think deeply about it.

‘You’ll find out soon.’

Go inside the hatchery and find Ayla’s father, or listen to the story from the rescued father.

Thinking so, I took out the numbering item, Sun Sword Solis, and cut off part of the flesh structure in front of me.

Cheak-

The flesh burned and melted after being cut a few times.

Also, inside the missing flesh, there was a hole that created a corpse that I had never seen before, and a parasitic beast.

“The inside of the hatchery is disgusting no matter how many times I see it.”

Lee Si-yeon also looked inside the hatchery and said with a frown.

Dark-green walls of flesh, corpses protruding from grotesque holes, and masses of tentacles crawling on the floor.

It was definitely a sight that would make anyone feel disgusted.

“Let’s find one.”

After I said that, I called some soldiers together and ordered a search.

Inside the hatchery, there were no large 3-4 stage objects, so it was possible to search only with soldiers.

Even if you wait like this, the results will come out, but Isla and Tanesa, who were nearby, moved a little more aggressively.

‘Come to think of it, Ayla’s father is the ruler of this city, right?’

Should I negotiate again if I rescue him?

I thought about it, but I wondered if there would be no negotiations because I couldn’t touch the thing that had lifted the fog of death and the protective shield protecting the city.

If there is a negotiation, it will be a new negotiation.

Took-

“…?”

Then, when I turned my head at the sensation in my arm, I could see Ren subtly leaning his head.

Of course, I couldn’t help but wonder.

‘Why is he like this?’

Were you dissatisfied with the breakfast you ate today?

When I did something I wouldn’t normally do, I was startled.

What came to mind with him was Siyeon Lee walking around and talking hard yesterday.

‘Or did you hear something from Siyeon Lee?’

While I was thinking, I saw some of the soldiers who had ordered the search come back.

The soldiers silently raised their fingers and pointed the way back.

Lee Si-yeon, who saw that, said to me.

“Don’t you think you found something?”

“Yeah. Please guide me.”

At my word to guide them, the soldiers started walking along the path indicated by their fingers earlier.

After walking slowly along with the soldiers, my party and I were able to arrive at a strange space shortly after.

‘Person?’

It was a place where about 50 people were tied to the dark green flesh wall without a single thread on it.

All of them were in a large posture, with their hands and feet buried in the flesh wall, and they had no genitals, so it was also possible to know that they were players.

‘It looks like Ksura experimented with players.’

What kind of experiment did you do?

It was clear that the mass of tentacles was parasitic.

Read from noble mtl dot com

Dark green tentacles protruded from all over the player’s body.

“…”

I looked at the tentacles wriggling as if to prove that I had lived a normal life, then asked Ayla nearby.

“Rescue must be difficult, what do you think?”

To me, it was like a beast.

Anyone can see that even if they rescued the parasitized player from the tentacles, they had no choice but to kill them unless they knew how to restore them back to normal.

If you kill it, the connection will be terminated.

There was a high possibility that the body would also return to its original state.

“My thoughts are similar, but I want to check more if the situation is not urgent.”

“The situation could be urgent. Do what you like.”

Of course, the situation itself was relaxed.

It was because he had dealt with all the bad guys, and Kshu, a stage 5 entity, didn’t even show his nose.

Anyway, after I gave permission, Ayla instructed Tanessa to wake people up and started looking at them one by one.

It looked like he was trying to find his father.

‘I can’t help it if it’s like that.’

It wasn’t until Ayla looked at each person like that that she checked halfway through.

“father······.”

I called him father in front of someone.

I followed Ayla’s gaze and looked in front of her to see a man in his mid-40s pinned to the wall like a corpse.

Incidentally, there were tentacles wriggling on Ayla’s father’s chest and limbs.

‘Is it possible to parasitize the player’s body, but not become a vicious tribe?’

In the meantime, Ayla called and shook her father several times, but in the end it did not wake up.

“I guess I have no choice but to forcibly close the connection.”

“I will replace you.”

Hearing my words, Ayla stepped aside.

The player could feel the pain here as well, so he swung the sun sword with all his might and quickly stopped breathing.

Then, after watching, I confirmed that the body turned transparent and disappeared exactly one minute later.

‘If a player dies, it disappears in one minute.’

After seeing the player who disappeared without a trace, including bloodstains, I cleaned it up.

Then Karina and Siyeon Lee helped me, and within a few minutes I was able to force quit all players.

‘Is the only thing left to do is to go to the realm of the king of beasts and kidnap useful ones?’

Of course, I didn’t feel anything special about kidnapping the Witchbeast.

But.

“Mr. Lee Seong-min. If it’s okay, can I close the connection?”

Isla said that she wanted to close the connection first.

Realizing that I was lacking in consideration thanks to that, I nodded without thinking.

“I’ll summon the snow wind bird and send it to the fortress.”

On the other hand, it seemed like it would take a while for me to leave because the soldiers were outside collecting crystals and the hatchery had to be completely burned down.

“Yes. Please.”

Ayla probably realized that and didn’t refuse my offer.

* * *

A long time after Lee Seong-min forcibly terminated the captive player and left the hatchery cleanly burned.

“…”

At first glance, the ferocious tribe, who had come aboard a 4th-level flying object resembling a pterosaur, quietly gazed at the devastated hatchery.

It was Kshura, a 5th-level evolutionary entity that was away to find necessary materials for a while.

Ksura, a humanoid entity with a height of 2 meters, much smaller than the 3rd and 4th stages, looked at the very ashes of the hatchery and was locked in doubt.

‘How did this happen?’

It was not enough to kill all the troops waiting in the hatchery, and the sight of the hatchery being treated was completely incomprehensible.

In terms of distance, the most likely beings are human forces.

But Ksura knew it well.

‘Currently, the human forces wouldn’t have this much power.’

Ksura had sent troops to the nearest Cairo fortress several times to check its strength.

The results are disappointing.

Seeing that the 4th stage entity was unable to properly block it and was floundering, Ksura lost interest in human forces and ordered autonomous action.

After that, I bumped into the human forces once to destroy the hatchery, but I wasn’t interested either.

No, to be precise, the existence of a player among the human forces became interesting.

Each of them uses abilities they have never seen before, and even their bodies disappear when they die.

In order to find out the secret about him, he kidnapped players and conducted various experiments.

Certainly, the more I knew about the existence of a player, the more strange it was.

‘It’s not as amazing as it is now.’

Ksura moved slowly and looked around.

It was to find out what happened here.

Simply looking at it with my own eyes, I could only see the busted and mangled beasts as if to slaughter, but Ksura continued to look around.

Then, on the outskirts, I could find a mass of tentacles wriggling very slightly.

‘found.’

living thugs.

Kshura, who found it, went straight over and grabbed the mass of tentacles with his hand.

“Now, show me your memories.”

Kshura’s body was once the body of an imperial mage.

Kshura, who had evolved to the 5th level by absorbing his memories and abilities, handled magic incomparably well with most wizards.

Also, the memory of the tentacles gradually entered Kshura’s head through that magic.

‘Hmm.’

Surprisingly, it was done by 8 humans.

No, precisely what one human being did.

The human alone blew up an unknown magic sphere to blow away all the beasts, and finished it off by implementing magic in the form of a cold weapon.

What’s even more surprising is that it only took a few minutes to get there.

“This is a truly transcendent power.”

How could a human have such power?

Kshurra displayed all his memories, threw away the limp mass of tentacles, and recalled them again.

The more I thought about it, the more a desire came to my mind.

‘Want.’

its transcendent power.

He obtained his current power by occupying the body of an imperial mage. How powerful would he be if he occupied the body of a human in memory?

The research on controlling the player’s body is already halfway done.

Kshura decided to catch the existence in the memory and finish the remaining research.

‘However, I can’t ignore his skills.’

I don’t do anything to attack alone.

It was because it was a difficult opponent to guarantee victory.

Therefore, Kshura, who felt that thorough preparation was necessary, decided to gather all the thugs in the nearby area.
