Chapter 376 – #100. 6th Floor (3).

#100. 6th floor.

The 6th floor is space, science fiction background.
I can’t explain the scientific products used on the 6th floor with my limited knowledge.
I only use what is given roughly and let it go.

The transmission room where the warp gate is located is a place where ownership is not recognized.
Available to all players staying within the battleship.

The coordinates are randomly set on the parasite’s mother planet ‘Sirius’.

‘The reason why it’s not easy to do a PK, and why it’s difficult to clean up after the incident.’

PK does not occur in battleships.
Because it is clear that it will be taken unconditionally.

As long as you don’t have unrivaled military power, if you get caught for PKing…
All that awaits is death.
So, be careful with each other.

But not on Sirius.
There is nothing to take.

Because of this, PK often occurs.
The importance of guilds and trustworthy colleagues became more prominent.

“Let’s buy a gas mask or filter mask and go down.”

Sirius is a place where poisonous gases fill the atmosphere.
A substance that is poison to the player, but medicine and rice to the parasite.

It was mandatory to wear equipment to protect the respiratory system.

After covering his face with overflowing coins, he used the warp gate to head to Sirius, the mother of the parasite.
Particles that felt different from the portals I tasted when I moved through each floor covered my body.

When I came to my senses, I felt stuffy air.
It didn’t even touch his face, but his expression was frowning.
A dusty wind was blowing.

“Ooh, I’m already annoyed.”

Yu Da-hee frowned and let out a breath.
Is it because of the gas mask?
The voice rang strangely.

“Returning can be done through the battleship’s system. From Sirius to the battleship, it is possible to open the warp only once. Only the set captain…”

When passing through a warp gate, set up a leader and depart.
Command authority is created only for that leader.

Our current leader is Dahee Yoo.
Except for Dahee Yoo, there is no right to interfere with the warp gate.

“It’s dangerous if you happen to be in distress, Mr. West.”
“I’m assuming he’s dead.”

Unlike usual, Orihime wrapped her body around and murmured.
Unlike Yoo Da-hee and Isilia, who were similar in size, it was easy to recognize.

“But since we’re going to return, it doesn’t mean much. Just die and start over In the first place, I will return before I die…”

I have no fear of hunting.
As a regressor, it has an overwhelming advantage.

Conversely, it is close to impossible to get to this point without regression.
For a person without talent to reach the 6th floor.
Can be considered a miracle.

So, in the case of a human who reached the 6th floor, it was like saying that the potential was guaranteed.
More than other species.

“Hey, what do you see?”

Isilia pointed beyond the dust storm.
Concentrating mana on sight, something was clearly visible.

“It’s a colony.”
“A colony?”

A colony, a parasite hatchery.
Seen from a distance, it rises high into the sky in the form of a dugout, and colonies are spread all over Sirius.
In terms of area, close to half of the area was covered by colonies.
It would be better to express it as being eaten by a parasite.

“If you destroy one colony, a portal will appear.”

Each colony has a parasite queen.
Killing a queen destroys the colony connected to that queen.

“Queen? Are you a female?”

Dahee Yoo laughed.
That smile was directed at me.

He seemed to think that he would even touch the parasite queen.
Unfortunately, the parasite queen is not a solid creature.
Aliens are aliens too.
Even within my defensive range, it is impossible.

“… I am not a beast.”
“Is it? It wasn’t a beast. I didn’t know.”

Dahee Yoo stopped laughing and looked at me.
I couldn’t see my eyes, but I could feel the selling for no reason.

You are that kind of guy
It seemed to say so.

As I got closer to the colony, my body started to tense up.
It wouldn’t be too dangerous because of Dahee Yoo, but her instincts were on the alert.
It was an unavoidable fear because I had a taste of the parasite in the original narrative.

“Are you going to go into the colony?”
“Shouldn’t I go in once in a while? I’ll have to try the parasite.”

An idea that only a regressor can do.
This mindset to only taste monsters was a judgment that would make the flagship vomit from the perspective of other players.

“… I don’t really want to go in.”

Dahee Yu glanced at the colony.
Not only the shape, but gradually the detailed appearance began to be seen.

Gray mucous membranes procrastinating, intermittent pulses like insects crawling.
If he hadn’t developed his resistance in the ‘Tower of Struggle’, he would have been frightened and ran away.

It takes my breath away to think that such a worldview actually exists.
I am grateful to have been born into a peaceful world.

It was then.

Kieh-!

A parasite jumped out of the sand.
A grotesque head and legs reminiscent of arthropods.
The sharp snout glowed fiercely.

“Oh.”

The moment you get bitten by that guy, his main body rides into your body.
Whether it is an arm or a leg, no matter where you are bitten, parasitism cannot be avoided.
Unless it is a mechanical device, the body must be cut off as soon as it is bitten.

“Ugh, dirty.”

Isilia built an ice barrier.
How to avoid the inevitable parasitism.
You don’t have to touch it from the beginning.

Its snout touches and gnaws at ice, but it does not parasitize.

Kiek!

Dahee Yoo stepped in and cut down the parasite.
His corpse shriveled up and disappeared in an instant.

“Alpha.”
“Alpha?”

Dahee Yoo asked.

“Alpha, Beta, Omega. All roles are different.”

Parasites are of three types.

“It’s easy to tell them apart because they all have different shapes. The worm is the alpha, the beast is the beta, and the boy is the omega. And the queen.”

Alpha is a parasite with only parasitic functions.
Because it is an object that can be produced through the player’s mother, it reproduces at a much faster rate than other objects.

‘It sounds terrible.’

The moment the parasite parasitizes the brain, it is inevitable to be dragged into the colony.
If you are trapped in a colony with your mind intact, you will become the mother of a parasite and repeat spawning.
With life extended indefinitely until someone comes to rescue it.

The problem is that it has nothing to do with men and women.
Parasites do not discriminate between males and females and turn them into mothers.
What a terrible ending.

“Beta is difficult to explain, but Omega uses superpowers.”
“How does that feel?”
Krrrr-.
“It’s beta.”

When the snout is opened, sticky saliva drips out.
How do you keep the big back of your head under control?
It shows a sharp movement that is questionable.

“Is he parasitic too?”
“Everyone is parasitic.”

Both beta and omega are parasites.
Making the player the parent body, that is the top priority task and purpose.
It was a natural decision because the more mothers that could produce alphas, the easier it was to spread the power.

Although it seems like an easy hunt, the parasite is a formidable monster.
Alpha, the lowest level monster on the 6th floor, is also not at an average level.
It’s just because it’s our Ju Da-hee.

Tolerable parties have to go forward with a lot of tension.
Otherwise, you will be encroached upon by an ambush Alpha or Beta.

It is to start a second life as a mother.

The betta opens its snout.
A snout within a snout.
A poisonous sting comes from there.

Kaaak-.
“Do you spit poison? It’s the worst.”

It is ambiguous to see it as poison.
The moment you get hit by that spit, you become the host of the parasite.

“A parasitic needle?”
“What is it.”

Dahee Yu sighed and threw out the poison needle.
Thanks to the overwhelming power difference, I was able to feel a sense of security in Sirius.

“It’s good.”
“Since you saw it, I’ll finish it.”

Dahee Yoo cut Beta’s throat.
It was cut softly like tofu.

The fake strong qi I pulled out was of such high purity that I was ashamed of it.

Parasite beta was also chewing gum in front of Dahee Yoo.
It seemed that no matter how many appeared, I could kill them all.

“One… Up to a hundred…”

Yu Da-hee looked at me and said.
Since they are hiding their powers, if they put their heart into it, it is possible to have more than a thousand of them.

Wouldn’t the parasite queen be easy too?
With that thought in mind, I headed toward the colony.

The closer I got, the more thrilled I felt at the majesty of the colony.
Since Sirius’ size is large, I thought it wouldn’t be normal.

I realized why guild units were united to attack the parasite queen.
The hatchery of the parasites exuded a grandeur that could not be contained in the description.

Does the cat standing in front of the entrance of the apartment complex feel this way?
I feel like an explorer exploring a huge natural cave or canyon.

“Let’s go back after watching Omega.”
“You mean go back?”
“It means to return.”

If you’re not going to catch the parasite queen, it’s only right to go back after seeing the parasite omega.
There is no benefit to procrastinating time.

Muddy, muddy-.
“Ugh, that’s really annoying.”

After entering the colony, walking is unpleasant.
The floor was muddy like mud.

Although they cannot see each other’s faces, they are probably making similar expressions.

‘I want to go back right away!’

This is the floor you want to skip if you can.
It’s a feeling I never felt when I faced it with a typeface.
I know because I’ve actually experienced it.

It’s the worst.
The next floor, the 7th floor, is the background of modern society, so I want to go up even more.

Kieh-!

Alpha pops out of the hatchery wall.
The protective coloration was so good that it was invisible even when it was attached to the wall.

“It doesn’t work at all.”

Dahee Yu murmured as she slashed the alpha that ran towards her head.
A perfect cover-up that even Yu Da-hee’s detection could be ignored.
Since the entire colony was assimilated with the parasite queen, it was impossible to distinguish the parasite within the colony.

“It’s more comfortable to see and react first.”

It was better to channel that energy into something else than to try to detect it in vain.

Kaaak-!
Karak-!

A parasite beta that roams the colony.
As soon as they spot us, they spit poison and approach us.

“When can we see Omega?”
“Since it’s a small number, you’ll have to dig a little deeper.”

There are fewer objects in the order of Alpha, Beta, and Omega.

“How far…”

Considering the colony’s area, Parasite Omega is the elite of the elite.
It was obvious that it was not easy to see.

Kirrrr-.
“I heard that even a tiger will come when I say it.”

A monster in the form of a boy appeared.
Even though it was walking on two legs, its appearance was nothing more than a parasite.

Woo woo-.

Omega’s hand glowed blue.
Whipped at us.

“Psychokinesis, mind control, teleport. It’s the kind of psychic power Omega uses. Usually, there are many cases where each individual has one.”
“Does your body come to mind?”
“Then he is psychokinesis. Telekinesis.”

I gave the answer to Yu Da-hee, who asked slowly.
Dahee Yoo shook her head and swung her sword.

Sword energy shot out, splitting Omega in half.
Telekinesis was released and landed.

“Ah.”

Watching Omega collapse helplessly, Dahee Yoo laments as if she had failed to control her strength.
It had been a long time since I felt weak because of a meaningless victory.
