บท 111: Trying to convince

"Sigh!" Alex couldn't help but sigh as he witnessed a familiar phenomenon unfolding within the child's body.

A small lump of flesh, resembling a wriggling worm, was moving around near the child's navel. It emitted a steady stream of mana, attempting to assert control over the surrounding cells.

It aimed to mutate and alter the cells around the navel, completing its parasitic infection of the child. Once accomplished, its purpose would be fulfilled: to completely dominate the child.

Witnessing the sight, Alex didn't require further explanation to understand what was happening.

The worm-like thing was the same thing that transformed many warriors into monsters right before him. And it was trying to attach itself to the child. Once it accomplishes its goal, the child would become a ticking time bomb with the possibility of turning into a monster.
