Chương 68: Body Snatcher (2)
It is a lump of squishy flesh the size of a child's head.
There are no feet, no hands, no eyes... … It can move by wriggling its flexible and elastic body, or extend body parts and use them like tentacles.
It is a by-product of magic that I have been practicing and studying for a while.
It is similar to the one used last time in the underground parking lot in that it is made with a life-type spell, but unlike before, which was not well controlled, it is the latest version with several steps of improvement.
'The research data stolen from Helistic was quite helpful.'
He gestured towards the moving lump of flesh that was writhing alone in its place.
Then, the thing that accepted my command moved in a way that seemed to replicate the process of cell division and split into two pieces.
"good. Good job."
Compared to [Black Goat's Body Fluids], which has the ability to transform humans into monsters, it is a very trivial spell.
'I can't do anything great yet... … Well, I don't know what will happen later when research progresses further.'
I sent my thoughts to the writhing lumps of flesh, gave them a command, and then whispered softly.
"Now, go."
The lumps of flesh begin to roll at breakneck speed. Avoid the surveillance team and go inside the building.
'good. At this point... … .'
I gestured toward Chae Taewon, who was far away. Now that the preparations are over, you can come out if you want.
[jump]
As the leap magic was activated, a dazzling magic circle was formed on my clothes.
Hwiik… … Taaat!
I jumped up with great momentum, instantly closing the distance towards the guards and activating several spells in succession.
First, block the action.
[Grip of the bitter cold]
Crack, clap, clap… … .
Frost and ice begin to rise from beneath the watchmen's feet.
Before I scream in surprise at the sudden attack... … .
[Sound wave refraction]
A magical barrier was created that distorted sound towards the warehouse entrance. Now, no matter how loud it is here, the guys inside can't hear it.
"I am the enemy!"
"come out! "It's the enemy!"
The [Butcher's Hook] is driven into the body of a man among the guards whose legs are frozen and unable to escape.
Kwasik!
[Absorption]
Kzzzzzzzz… … .
It is a unique magic acquired from [Mongrimun Domilmanggyeong]. Because it has the spirit attribute, it is very compatible with the Butcher's Hook.
[The unique functions of the S-class weapon 'Butcher's Hook', 'Evidence of Slaughter' and 'Time of Slaughter', are activated.
// Time of Slaughter: The probability of causing fatal wounds and bleeding in all attacks targeting 'humans' increases by 100%.
// Evidence of Slaughter: The power of necromantic magic increases by 100%.]
The Butcher's Hook absorbs its blood and energy.
"Ooooooooo… … ."
A man who rapidly loses body fluids is unable to resist and collapses, leaving behind only bones and skin.
The woman next to her took out a gun from her arms... … .
"Are you really going to shoot that?"
"Well, well… … !?"
[ignition]
[Spell Enhancement: Increased range]
A level 0 basic spell that heats flammable substances and causes fire. A magic circle containing the magic formula of ignition blooms behind the gun the woman is holding.
Pow!!
The target of ignition is, of course, the bullets loaded in the gun.
"Aaaah!!"
Wow, you're saying the same thing.
A few grenade fragments flew close to me, but due to the effect of the distortion field, the fragments that could have reached my body were scattered in the wrong direction.
[Blood Whip]
A whip made of bright red blood extends from the butcher's hook and strikes the woman's body.
The whip of blood, swung with violent force, splits the woman's body into two pieces.
From the left shoulder to the right waist diagonally below. A large amount of blood spurted from the body is absorbed into the butcher's hook through the blood whip.
'I think it's a bit excessive, but... … .'
They were already dead anyway when their bodies were taken over by the parasite.
The first step for parasites to take control of a human body is to eat the brain of the body they have invaded.
This method is best for these guys.
The easiest way to deal with parasites is to destroy the bodies they control with overwhelming and rapid attacks.
When the body it rides can no longer move, it reveals its true colors.
"Nonsense… … No matter how much of a wizard you are... … ."
"My body… … Destroying my body... … . This evil human being... … ."
Quad deuk-duk-jik-jik-.
The two people's heads, unable to move any more, split apart as if exploding.
The brain, which had died a long time ago and had rotted black, was splashing in all directions... … Strange creatures jump out of their heads.
A small person so small that it can curl up inside a human's head.
These are the parasites that were taking over this body.
At first glance, it has a body with a silhouette similar to that of a human, but if you look closely, it has a bizarre body that you would never want to compare to a human.
Unpleasant-looking compound eyes.
Skin that is wet and shiny with blood and brain fluid.
Bizarre ganglia sprouting like plant roots where limbs should be.
A bizarre snout that spreads left and right instead of up and down.
As the snout opens, unpleasant noises pour out.
"Kishesheshhh!"
"Give me your body, give me your body!"
They are an unpleasant group of people that will make you feel nauseous just by looking at them.
[System: Attempts to resist fear using the mental strength stat. Mental strength test failed.]
The fragile human psyche can be shattered just by encountering those bizarre images and noises.
[System: The exclusive attribute 'Abyss Madness' is activated.]
Of course, I am an exception.
If I didn't have the trait, I would have fallen into confusion and crisis here.
They try to extend their sprouted ganglia instead of their own limbs.
That ganglion contains a powerful hypnotic substance that takes away the freedom and will of the attacked target's body.
but… … just now!
Chae Taewon appears from behind the parasites and rotates his body at incredible speed.
Bauung!
A fierce kick flies towards the parasite along with a terrifying sound that cuts through the air.
Wow!
It is a sturdy shoe sole reinforced with metal plates. That extraterrestrial life form, which had evolved into a form that eliminated most of its means of self-defense in order to live as a parasite on the bodies of other living things, was blown away by one kick from Chae Tae-won.
At the same time, my magic activated.
[Rope manipulation]
It's so cool!!
The nearest rope. This magic has always been used against the intestines rather than the rope, but today it was used against a target other than the intestines. Of course, that doesn't mean it's a rope either.
It was activated in the nerve ganglion of the parasite that was turning into mush and flying away. My rope manipulation magic took control of the dead parasite's tentacles in an instant, and they bounced in the wrong direction.
This is the direction where other parasites that were not attacked by Chae Taewon are located.
"Oh, don't come!!!"
no use.
Wow! Shuririk!
Dozens of ganglia begin to tangle here and there.
The two parasites became twisted and tangled with each other and soon became so tightly entangled that they could not be untangled in a normal way.
"Oh, maybe it was a situation where I didn't have to help?"
"Yes, but… … It was helpful. thank you."
"It was nothing."
"Fu, release me!!"
The last is the scream of a parasite that has become entangled with the corpse of its comrade. It continues to struggle to escape its comrade's tentacles, but the more it moves, the more intricately twisted and tangled it becomes.
"Are you having fun?"
"Can't you solve this right now? "If you don't release it right away, I will kill you all!!!"
Otherworldly races generally tend to ignore humans, but these guys are too much.
"You're talking stupid. If I ask you to let me go, will you let me go?"
"You bastard!!"
Since they were screaming so hard, I took a moment to check if the [Sound Wave Refraction] hanging at the entrance to the warehouse was still working properly.
These little guys have really loud voices.
Parasitizing and dominating the human body is only the beginning. They continue to approach higher-status humans and steal their bodies. In the future, it will enter the body of the ruling class and control humanity from behind the scenes.
"What a piece of trash you are! Even so, you are nothing more than our livestock! We eat you, we ride on you. There's no use killing me now! We keep growing and you can't find us! One day, the bodies of your family, your friends, your lovers will fall into our hands. When that day comes... … town! "Eup!!"
It's really noisy. I moved the tentacle still under my influence and covered its mouth. Nevertheless, he wriggles hard to escape.
Now it almost looks like a well-knitted round skein of thread.
"If you keep squirming like that, you won't be able to escape anymore?"
"Eupeup!!!"
The structure of the bronchial tubes is reasonably similar to that of humans, so if left as is, they will suffocate to death on their own.
I stopped paying attention to the guy who could no longer make a sound and activated the detection spell again. There are exactly 60 magic power sources detected inside.
Since it is a structure where two magical powers form one body, the actual number of parasites inside is... … .
"There are 30 more of these guys inside."
"I am… … ."
Chae Taewon said with a slightly confused expression. From the looks of it, he was successful in making a sanity check upon seeing this hideous parasite, but he seemed to be quite shocked.
"It's not my first time seeing monsters, but this is my first time seeing these guys. "What on earth is this?"
"I am an illegal alien that the management office is looking for. "The difference is that they are aliens, not foreigners."
"Do you know how to deal with it?"
"Nothing big. Once killed, the head will crack open and the body will come out. If you come into contact with its tentacles, you may be hypnotized or completely robbed. "Be careful not to touch it."
"You speak easily. "Is this why you refused to apply?"
If many people had been clumsily brought in, and someone had lost their body, great chaos would have occurred immediately.
If I even attack the Triad member whose body was stolen, I could be falsely accused.
"I didn't come here with any certainty, but I came thinking there was a possibility that these guys were there. Yang Seo-ho wouldn't have moved for no reason."
"okay. Now, wait a minute. "Then you could possibly have kidnapped the young lady!?"
Yes.
Since the structure is such that there is one person per head, it makes no sense if the number of people falls to an even number.
Including the kidnapped Jeong Hyeon-ah, the magic power that must be detected within the warehouse should be an odd number.
"Their coming-of-age ceremony is probably going on in that warehouse right now."
"What is a coming-of-age ceremony?"
"It is a ritual that gives a new body to a body that did not have a human body."
[! Time limit: Hyunah Jeong dies in (30) minutes. !]
And the target is Jeong Hyeon-ah, Cheong-ho's daughter, whom they kidnapped today.
