Chapter 214 – 214. Operational Retreat

“Here.”

The second time, Lamech and Kang In-ho are avoiding the desecrated spirits.

The first Ramek reached the front of the Alcids’ nest.

‘A huge sinkhole. There is a lot of water below, and it sparkles blue. Overmind… The queen’s egg is down here.’

Lamek discovered that there was a nucleus of alcids in the water under the sinkhole.

‘Can I catch it alone? It’s possible, but I don’t want to get into that rotten shit. No, and why should I hold on to that? Let’s just figure out the location and let’s go.’

The first one, Lamech, tried to escape in moderation. This is because she decided that it would be better to bring in Kang In-ho, who has a wide range of skills and other heavy skills to eliminate bosses. More than anything, I didn’t want to dip my feet in that shit.

The moment he was about to take his foot away, someone spoke.

“Who are you?”

“Oh my.”

Before we knew it, the first Ramek was surrounded by Alcid infected entities. The fact that they could not detect it even though they heightened their senses meant that they were using some kind of method, and that method was probably an item.

The Alcid infection inherits the host’s skills and survival level. This meant that Alcid infected entities were also free to enter and exit gates, including the simple labyrinth, and that they were much stronger than humans, so they could more easily conquer the labyrinth.

In a word, they are currently attacking the labyrinth as they can, with their egos tied together through a hive consciousness.

Thanks to this, I was able to pile up a mountain of cognitive impairment items and use them. Perhaps there will come a moment in the near future where they will monopolize the makeshift labyrinth. Since the capacity is not infinite, if they all enter together, the simple labyrinth will fill up in an instant, and then the number of labyrinths for Kang In-ho to conquer will be greatly reduced.

This was a pretty big problem. And this is also the reason why Kang In-ho must exterminate the parasitic races as much as possible.

“Ha.”

Lamech grasped the situation without difficulty. The enemies were deliberately watching Lamech without touching him while he came here.

Moreover, they planned to use Lamek to create Alcid Guardians, the queen’s guardians.

If there’s one really fortunate thing here, it’s that these guys don’t have any knowledge about dark spirits, and they don’t know that Lamech is a dark spirit.

“Catch it.”

Alcid’s favorite pointed to Lamech.

Immediately, the infected organisms gathered around Lamek, that is, the Alcids that attach themselves to the heads of humans and dominate their bodies, poured out their telekinetic power towards Lamek.

Kiiiiing-!!!!!!!

At the same time as a terrible ringing, the place where Lamech was standing exploded. An enormous pressure was generated, as if the gravity had increased hundreds of times, and the spot caved in.

‘Crazy guys.’

Of course, this is not Lamech who can be hit by a single blow. Like the second Lamech, he also had a sense of transcendence.

This is not something that can be acquired as a skill. It can be said to be a kind of proof, and you must have super senses to be considered to have reached the state of true transcendence.

It is a proof of pure strength that an individual can achieve, not skill.

Since Kang In-ho is currently on the threshold of transcendence, most strong people can move or react at a speed that ordinary people cannot even perceive.

Anyway, Lamek dodged their attacks and at the same time created an infinite number of kitchen knives and began scattering them in all directions.

It’s difficult to deal with those with extremely large bodies and ridiculously large stamina, but if you look at them as an individual, they can easily cut down and kill those that are considered weak.

Since he literally specialized in massacre of civilians, the Alcid colony was easy prey for him.

“Oh my!!!”

Is it because he quietly sneaked in?

The Alcids, who judged that the other party was weak and hiding, were embarrassed when they saw Lamek starting to go crazy. In the situation of Lamech, who had been hiding because he was just too lazy to fight, the idea was to chop up and kill those who had already been caught.

Just 3 minutes after the battle began, 120 Alcid infected animals were slaughtered in an instant.

Severed limbs and bodies are flying in all directions. The Alcid infected entities were helplessly cut down by the slashes that were swung in seconds, and it was only after higher-ranking entities born for battle were deployed that the damage was reduced.

Of course, the results were similar.

“Quaaa!!!!!”

A kitchen knife stuck on my back grows.

The rooted kitchen knife tore through the internal organs and eventually protruded through the skin.

A flower completed like that.

A portrait of an infectious agent made up of blood, flesh, and red-stained blades.

It was no different for higher-level entities.

Kwaang!!!

“Oh my.”

Since the attack didn’t work in the first place, they just threw the remains of the collapsed building at the afterimage of Lamek, who was moving at a speed that he couldn’t keep up with.

‘There are too many of these bastards.’

Lamech, who was growing tired of her repetitive work, took advantage of her opportunity and escaped.

Alcid entities followed him, but Lamek, who quickly escaped their territory, laughed at the slow-moving Alcid infected entities.

‘Because there were no survivors there. There’s no need to fight.’

The order given by Kang In-ho was to capture survivors. However, there were no survivors within the area where the Alcids built their nest.

In fact, it seemed more difficult to find a life form that was not infected with Alcid, let alone a survivor, so Lamek decided that there was no need to roll around in that shithole anymore.

The thought structure of the first Lamech and the second Lamech was the same. Both of them did not want to work beyond the orders given, even if it meant death.

[Stop. Stop the chase.]

[What on earth was that?]

[A unique entity… Just like the humans I saw in the forest… It is a being that has overcome the wall. Stop the chase.]

As they watched Ramek escape, the higher-ranking Alcid entities gave orders. Although they initially pushed back due to their numerical superiority, it was clear that if they provoked it any further and started a war of destruction, they would also suffer a crushing blow.

[Above all. Xaettle disappeared.]

[Did someone else come in besides that monster just now?]

[I guess so. Thanks to this, more energy has entered the core. Move on to the next stage of hatching.]

The center of the alcid nest. A huge egg created under a sinkhole.

The queen’s eggs will soon hatch. As soon as the queen was created, they planned to annihilate the remaining mushroom monsters and then devour the entire city.

******

“Therefore. “I almost caught everything, but it’s back to its original state, right?”

“Okay. I did my best. “It’s not my fault.”

“Huh. Crazy bastard.”

Kang In-ho and his second child, Lamek, were hiding in an oriental medicine clinic. Kang In-ho, who had used up almost all of his magical power, divine power, and magical power in catching and killing the adult parasitic tree, was in no position to kill the spirit creature right away.

Moreover, his second son, Lamech, whose left arm had been cut off, was also in need of recovery.

“But where did the first Lamech go?”

“I don’t know either.”

“Ha. Fuck.”

Kang In-ho lamented as he washed his face. The level of difficulty was much higher than he expected. I used up all my energy just to catch one jaetl.

I couldn’t even think of catching the remaining two guys and punishing them.

“Should I just go home?”

“Oh! Please do it.”

“No. “Seeing you in such a good mood made me not want to go home.”

“…”

“Whew. I’m going to kill you while I’m at it. Rather, that bastard suddenly became stronger.”

“Uh.”

“The words are so short. But why did it suddenly become stronger?”

Kang In-ho thought deeply.

At that time, Agaf opened his mouth.

[This is the timing… It seems like this monster got stronger when I killed Zaetl.]

“For a moment. So are these guys connected to each other?”

[It is highly likely.]

Kang In-ho also realized the truth.

“Let’s catch them at the same time. Should he continue to grow stronger? “It’s one of the two.”

[There’s no room to catch them all at the same time.]

“Right. Then the most important thing is what order to do.”

Should I catch the contaminated spirit creatures first, or should I turn this direction and go to the Alcids’ nest.

It was then.

“Hey!!!! “Where did Ramek go!!!”

The first Lamech entered the contaminated area and called the second Lamech.

“Fuck you.”

“Ah-oh!!! “You idiot!!!”

Of course, the aggro of the spirit creature that was looking for Kang In-ho and the second child, Ramek, was attracted to the first, and the battle began immediately.

Wow!!!!

A five-story commercial building was destroyed, and a spirit appeared.

“OMG!!! What!!!”

The first Lamech was frightened when he saw the defiled spirit creature with kitchen knives stuck in its rotting body.

It was just that the street was so quiet that he was trying to find his alter ego, but he couldn’t help but be surprised when a building was destroyed and a large monster appeared.

“Let’s offer that guy up as a sacrifice.”

“What?”

“Anyway, now is not the time for either of us to fight. “It’s better to take a day off and come back properly tomorrow.”

“Indeed. Right. Good idea. If I were to catch that guy, it would probably take at least 6 hours, so I don’t have to worry about being hunted by spirits.”

The spirit beast should never have been killed by Lamek because Kang In-ho had to make the final blow. At that time, the second son, Lamech, assured him that he would not be able to catch him within 6 hours, so he was able to run away without looking back.

First, without caring whether Lamech rolls around like a dog or not.

“Even if I find it, I just have to revive it.”

There are many magic stones. Moreover, by using Kang In-ho’s ‘skill sale’, he was able to immediately acquire magic stones and gold coins. Because there were quite a lot of awakening stones that I had collected so far.

“Let’s go!”

“Okay!”

The two quickly ran out of the oriental medicine clinic.

From the beginning, Kang In-ho didn’t care at all whether Lamech was behind or not, and the second son, Lamech, also drew a line between himself and the first. Without even the slightest sympathy.

“Puha!! It’s done!”

“Whew. “I got out safely.”

The second son, Lamech, and Kang In-ho, who escaped the barrier, could barely catch their breath.

“Uh oh. “That one.”

“Huh? Hey!!! Blood demon!!!”

At that time, Kang In-ho and Lamek found the vampires shaking after washing their bodies in the Nakdong River.

“Ah. Master.”

Cromwell approached Kang In-ho without any shirt on.

“Have we given up on downtown?”

“No. “I’m going to attack again tomorrow.”

“Indeed.”

“Let’s go back first. But Mr. Geohyeong…”

“Hey, here! “I’m alive!”

“Oh!! Uncle!”

Kang In-ho waved her hand at Lee Do-hyeong, who not only had half of her face melted away, but whose blood naturalization had progressed, and it was now difficult to see her former self.

Kang In-ho himself did not pay much attention to the change in his appearance as he had Halo, tattoos, and even horns.

“Mister. Would you like to rejuvenate?”

“What?”

“Shaking hands can rejuvenate you. Instead, its original appearance will disappear.”

“…”

Above all, Kang In-ho had the ability to steal his appearance. He was able to change his appearance by putting a rough copy of the vampire’s appearance on Lee Do-hyeong.

“Ah.!! “Is this… Me?”

Lee Do-hyung was impressed when he looked at his reflection in the mirror.

A man with a pot-belly and half bald head. Even his face had melted during this attack on Gimhae, and his appearance was so disfigured that it was difficult to look at him with his eyes open, but his appearance changed to that of a noble vampire.

“Okay then, let’s all go back.”

After roughly summarizing the situation, Kang In-ho led his group and headed towards Mulgeum.

Because it was difficult to travel by car, they had to walk along the pitch-black road with only a flashlight.

“It’s cold.”

The winter night begins now.
