Chapter 111 – Infected Jinseok

My S-class hero sister and childhood friend are taken away. – 111 – Infected Jinseok

“Be careful! Jinseok! It’s a parasite!”

Ye-eun saw the black monsters that had fallen from Gigantes and shouted out that the monsters were Parasites. Upon witnessing the Parasite appear, Ye-eun’s face became full of caution. This is because Parasite was an extremely dangerous monster.

A parasite was a parasite-like monster that lived off a huge monster-type monster. Of course, even if it was a parasite, it was enormous because it was parasitized by a large monster like Gigantes. Among the parasites, the smallest ones were as big as cars, and the larger ones were as big as large dump trucks.

The parasites were overall a shiny black color, and had a shiny black, insect-like outer shell. Sharp thorns and tentacles-like things grew in a disorderly manner on the bodies of the Parasites. The characteristic of Parasites was to fight while swinging their tentacles.

“Krrrr!”

The Parasites that fell from Gigantes were approaching threateningly towards Jinseok and Yeeun. Parasites are parasites that live on large monsters and suck out their nutrients, but to large monster-level monsters, parasites are not very threatening, and they usually just leave the parasites on their bodies.

However, monster-level monsters that have Parasites in their bodies sometimes, when a battle with enemies begins, remove the Parasites from their bodies and scatter them, and because of the Parasites’ habit of trying to protect and return to a comfortable host, they kill any person they encounter in front of them. Attacked other enemies.

The monster-level monsters scattered Parasites to deal with small enemies that were too cumbersome to deal with directly. In some ways, it could be seen as a kind of symbiotic relationship rather than simple parasitism.

“Ugh! These guys!”

Anyway, it was a very dangerous situation for Jinseok. Although he was not a Gigantes and was in a miserable situation, being threatened by a parasite living on Gigantes, he still had to fight. Jinseok fired all the bullets he had at the Parasite group.

“Get away from me!”
Quagwang! Quagwang! Quagwagwang!

When Jinseok fired as many bullets as he could, several Parasites were hit by the bullets and instantly splintered into pieces and disintegrated. Although he was ignored as a B-class hero, Jinseok’s shooting skills were quite accurate and quick.

In an instant, over 10 Parasites were destroyed into pieces by Jinseok’s attack. There were only a few individuals left. However, even after all the bullets were fired, there were still a few remaining.

Tick- Tick-
“Ugh! There’s no time to reload.”

A few more shots would have been enough to annihilate them, but unfortunately, all the magazines were gone. Reloading the gun wasn’t difficult, but the enemy was too close to reload comfortably. He doubted whether he would be able to finish reloading quickly no matter how fast he hurried.

“In times like this… With this…!”

After Jinseok threw away his gun, he picked up the greatsword made of special alloy that he had prepared in advance. The great sword was as big as Jinseok’s height, and Jinseok’s body was strengthened by his abilities. In addition, it was made of a special alloy, so it was capable of chopping up monsters.

“Huh!”
Kwazijic!

Jinseok’s strike, swinging his great sword, cut into pieces a large parasite approaching right in front of his eyes. Jinseok’s great sword swung with exciting force and crushed the group of Parasites. Jinseok literally swung his great sword without hesitation and slaughtered the parasites.

Although he was not a master of martial arts like Mi-yeon, Jin-seok also received advanced special forces training and learned swordsmanship and fighting training to a significant degree. Jinseok’s combat ability was at a considerable level.

“Hehe. If it’s like this…”

Jinseok felt a great sense of satisfaction as he looked down at the shattered parasites around him. It wasn’t easy for her to single-handedly annihilate so many Parasites, although she did rely to some extent on the power of her weapons.

“Jinseok! It’s dangerous!”
“Huh?!”

But at that time, a warning voice came from Ye-eun. After hearing Ye-eun’s warning voice, Jin-seok happened to see tentacles flying from behind his back. The tentacle broke the reinforced suit Jinseok was wearing and burrowed into Jinseok’s back.

“Krrrr…”
Phew!
“Aaaaah! Haha! I can’t believe I’m coming back to life!”

Jinseok was surprised to see the Parasite that attacked him. It was a bizarre appearance where the body parts of the parasites were split into several pieces and connected to each other. Surprisingly, the Parasites that Jinseok tore apart and destroyed were regenerated into one giant Parasite by reuniting the broken body parts.

“Wooooo!”

And, taking advantage of Jinseok’s momentary lethargy, he launched a tentacle attack and inflicted a fatal wound on Jinseok’s back. He knew that Parasite had the ability to regenerate, but he never thought that it would have this strong regenerative ability.

“Jinseok! No! Haaa!”
Fuuuh-!

Ye-eun put both hands together and fired a white shock wave that glowed silver, destroying the Parasites that had been linked together and regenerating. Ye-eun rarely used her abilities offensively, but once she did, she showed tremendous power as expected of an S-class hero.

“Jinseok! Are you okay?!”
“Keuuuuu!”

After defeating Parasite, Ye-eun was attacked and ran to Jin-seok, who was lying on the floor. Jinseok, who was attacked by Parasite, fell to the floor and struggled in pain. Ye-eun immediately ran to Jin-seok and gave him healing.

“I’ll treat you!”
“Huh-uh-uhh-uhhh!”

As Ye-eun healed him, Jin-seok’s facial expression was getting a little better. But contrary to what I thought, the condition did not improve easily. The pain seemed to have eased a little, but he was still unable to get up, struggling to breathe, and grimacing as he let out a pained groan.

“Ah why isn’t there any treatment? Ah!”

When Ye-eun saw that Jin-seok was not treated properly, he examined the injured area on Jin-seok’s back. Then, the parasite’s tentacles, which had dug into Jinseok’s injured area, were seen assimilating into Jinseok’s body and digging into it. Parasite cells could even be seen spreading around the injured area like a black spider web. Parasite cells had burrowed into Jinseok’s body as if they were being eroded.

“Oh, no! If this happens, Jinseok will be eroded into Parasite!”

Ye-eun recovered again. After receiving Ye-eun’s recovery ability, the rate at which Jin-seok was eroded by Parasite was noticeably slowed. However, even with Ye-eun’s abilities, it was difficult to completely restore Jin-seok.

Parasites had the ability to parasitize not only monsters, but also humans. It had the ability to come into contact with humans and erode them at the cell level. Once erosion began, it was very dangerous.

“Ugh! Oh my…”
“I can’t believe the erosion has already started…”

Jinseok was holding on thanks to Yeeun’s healing ability and the strong body he gained through her abilities. However, if it were an ordinary person, it would have eroded in an instant and become a complete parasite. A human who is completely consumed by a Parasite eventually becomes a humanoid Parasite, and once that happens, there is no turning back.

Parasite had a high risk. There were even times in the past when at most one Parasite could annihilate a city. Ye-eun was also surprised that Parasite’s erosion ability was appearing faster than expected.

Although Ye-eun was wary of Parasite, he thought that Jin-seok’s abilities would be enough to win, but the regenerative and erosion abilities of Parasite, who fought Jin-seok, were stronger than expected. Jinseok was suddenly placed in a dangerous situation.

“Oh, no. These dangerous things…”
Fabaat!

Ye-eun saw the fragmented bodies of the Parasites around her gluing themselves together again and moving to regenerate. Ye-eun immediately unleashed his powers around him, eliminating all parasites. The Parasites were completely shattered into pieces and could no longer be regenerated.

“Ah. If only I had helped you sooner…”

Ye-eun, who does not have a combative personality, was watching Jin-seok fight from a little behind. This is because she thought that if she had healing abilities, she would be able to help in any dangerous situation without worrying. However, Jinseok fell into a state that was difficult to help even with healing.
