Chapter 217 – 217. Quantity Is Quantity
I got my hands on a guy named Ainus. I’m still not sure what his intentions are or if he’s trustworthy.
Agap, I have already shown enough trust in you, and starting from the time of the evil spirit, I decided to even die in my place if I died using the magic called mind-linking. At this point, it’s hard not to believe.
Anyway, Agaf and I have such a close relationship that we can call them colleagues and comrades in arms. But this Ainus is a bit different.
‘The voice is also strangely androgynous. There is also a being called the World Tree behind it.’
From what I heard from Agaf, it seems that among the three great forces, the Ten Thousand Demons, the Ten Demons, and the Ten Gods, those belonging to the Pantheon achieved victory and abandoned the other two forces to another parallel universe…
It is even said that Agaf belongs to the Ten Thousand Demons and Ainus belongs to the Ten Thousand Demons. In short, the affiliation is different from Agaf, whom I trust.
‘The knowledge about Mangwijeon may be richer, but…’
For now, I’ll just have to wait and see. If you don’t think it’s okay, I plan to kill you. Unlike Agaf, who was attached to me in his spirit form in the first place, this guy will die if this red seed is destroyed.
“I’ll say this again, if you do something foolish, you will die.”
[Of course.]
Well, he escaped from an edible human specialty store because he was sick of seeing humans being used as food ingredients, so he doesn’t seem to be a completely evil guy.
First of all, since it’s a newly acquired knowledge encyclopedia, let’s try it out.
“I was presented with a better option than that. “I don’t know what to choose.”
[It’s a choice.?]
“Okay. Look.”
Three rewards for killing an adult parasitic tree. Among them, number 2 was a trap for the evil spirit, so I decided to pass it and ask whether I should choose between number 1, Blood Tree Man’s Crown, or number 3, Quae’s Red Fruit.
‘Agaf said he didn’t know what to choose.’
The Blood King’s Crown changes its race to Blood King Tree. In short, it means that when you wear it, you will be transformed into the dark spirit of Zaetl that you have summoned. Instead, he can directly absorb planetary energy and act as a Blood King.
In short, if you pick this up and use it on the right person, you can get another Blood King Tree.
The red fruits of kwae do not change that dramatically, but they can grow parasites inside the body. Honestly, I think number 1 is better. I can just give it to someone else to use for me.
“So, Ainus. “What is better?”
[Hmm. If you choose number 1, you will get one more Blood King Tree as you just thought.]
“Three times.”
[It is possible to grow parasites inside the body. This is important.]
According to Ainus’s explanation, parasitic trees are originally beings that steal the body. However, being able to raise them means being able to coexist, and it is said that only the strengths of the parasitic tree can be brought back without losing the body.
It is possible to overcome the limitations of beasts, such as ultra-fast body regeneration and ingestion of organic matter through body parts other than the oral cavity.
Being both an animal and a plant, you can only have the strengths of both worlds. It is said that you can even control a corpse by injecting parasites into its body, so this is quite fascinating.
[Option 1 is to become a Blood King that cannot move and grow a base. You can move around freely and play games three times.]
“Indeed.”
I decided to get the fruit of Kwae.
Adult parasites can be produced as dark instars. And it looks like parasitic creatures will continue to appear in the future. So, I thought that Kwae’s fruit, which was difficult to obtain right away, was better.
“Whoa.”
Red fruit. If I eat this, parasites will take up residence in my body. Then, you can control the corpse without necromancy, and even if the body flies away, you can regenerate it as a ghost.
Gulp.
I swallowed the fruit.
Like Adam biting into the tree of knowledge of good and evil. I swallowed a red fruit the size of a grape.
“Tsk.”
I can feel the heat. I felt like my insides were burning.
[The body temperature is rising abnormally.]
No, the temperature was actually rising?
It seemed like the body temperature was really rising, not just a feeling.
Could this be some kind of rejection reaction? That’s because my body is flowing with magical power and divinity, so it’s not surprising if it causes a rejection reaction.
[Are you okay. It’s a temporary symptom. We will move forward.]
I felt like I was screwed and had no idea what to do, so Ainus calmed me down. As she said, the condition gradually improved.
“Oh my gosh. Phew.”
After letting out the heat, I felt a little more at ease.
[Magic power is being sucked into the area where the dantian is located.]
[They are trying to grow by absorbing magical power.]
“For a moment. “What happens if I feed it something other than magical power?”
[Yes?]
Ainus asked me what I meant.
“The magical and divine power flows through my body.”
[Uh. That. Uh. I also know what will happen if I feed it magical power and divine power.]
Even Ainus didn’t seem to know that much.
First, the Seed of Quae, which had absorbed all the magical power in my body, further absorbed my magical power and divine power. There was no particular reaction.
Whether it’s magical power or magical power, it seems to be absorbed equally.
[First, with this, I have become even more human.]
“Yes.”
For some reason, it seems like I’m gradually becoming something outside human beings. It’s okay to change the appearance.
“I did everything I had to do.”
All that’s left is to explore the base labyrinth, raid the Demon King’s storage again and completely conquer it, or just rest like this.
I plan to go to Gimhae again tomorrow.
[Just rest like this and when the women come, just eat rice cake.]
“No, Agaf. “Your words are so vulgar.”
[Woman, woman…?]
[Okay. This promiscuous bastard has five women.]
[… Huh.]
Ainus, who had been in suspended animation at the base for a while, was amazed as if he knew nothing.
I have five women. I’m not sure if all five people are being properly cared for.
‘It feels like they’ve become closer to each other these days.’
Because I was out and about so much, the five of us became closer to each other.
It’s not bad. Anyway, from now on, I will continue to go outside, and my women can go around small labyrinths.
No matter how much I think about it, it doesn’t seem like I’m being dragged into a fixed labyrinth. The more precious it is, the more it must be protected.
“Let’s go rob the devil.”
[Of course.]
[The devil?]
“Pibhal and Abalam.”
[Huh. Aren’t they Paimon’s limbs?]
“That’s right.”
Ainus was embarrassed. When he said he was going to attack Paimon’s limbs, he asked what would happen if Paimon came out.
[I couldn’t feel Paimon’s presence.]
“I broke in twice, but it didn’t come out. And when I heard the devils talking, I heard they didn’t exist.”
[What is it? What is the standard for throwing it out into this world?]
“How would we know that?”
How can I know the feelings of the warriors of that world? Maybe it flew off to another parallel universe other than our world.
Anyway, let’s take care of the things we’ve been putting off today. We need to get Paimon’s crown soon, and we also need to bring the Toad Alchemist.
“Then, let’s go.”
This is the third intrusion. At this point, unless those bastards are idiots, they would have prepared their defenses.
But do they know this?
‘I have two Lamechs, you bastards.’
Confidence that no one can beat me.
Ironically, it did not come from my strength, but from Lamech’s strength.
******
“Lamech is dead!!”
“Is it that human again? No, is it really a human?”
“I don’t know!! What matters is that he holds the key to getting out! Caw!”
“Shit. Lamech, you rotten bastard. They pretended everything was there. It was a piece of shit.”
“You idiot Ramek!”
Bibhal and Abalam were residing in the storage room. While I was being summoned, I was thinking that the enemy would sneak in and leave, so I was going around the storage room 24 hours a day to check if there were any intruders.
Moreover, there were a lot of low-level demons they had summoned, and a lot of demon monks and mirror ghosts dragged down from the first and second floors were also waiting for Kang In-ho to come in.
“You bastard. “Aren’t they going to stop coming like this?”
“Yikes! “Don’t say such ominous things!”
“Bival. I don’t think it’s true. Are we going to keep patrolling like this for a few days?”
“It will come! Clearly. “He is definitely coming.”
So they waited a few more hours.
And finally, Kang In-ho came into the storage room.
“Keeeee!!!! An intruder occurred!!!!!”
“It’s here!!”
“Kyaaa!!!! It’s an all-out attack!!! Ah! You must not kill!!! “Don’t kill me!!”
Bival and Abalam planned to capture Kang In-ho and find a way to escape. Since he was designated as a monster in the labyrinth, he could not come out until the labyrinth exploded, so he had to capture the intruder, Kang In-ho, alive in order to get a clue to get out.
Of course, no one knew whether that would be possible.
Puhwaaaaa!!!!!!!
“Hey, what is that!!!!”
“Sssss Lamech.”
“There are two people. Why!?”
Bival and Abalam, who were flying to the battle scene, saw it.
The appearance of two pitch-black Rameks.
Furthermore, they are wiping out all the enemies that attack them.
“You’re here.”
Kang In-ho summoned Ramek as soon as he entered the storage room.
Furthermore, Kang In-ho summoned a trio of blood demons and hitmen.
“Make a corpse!!! ASAP!!!”
Following his orders, the dark spirits increased the number of corpses by crushing the charging demon monks, mirror demons, and lower-level demons.
“Now, quantity depends on quantity.”
Kang In-ho extends his hand toward the corpse.
The parasitic tree that grew from his body stretched out from his fingertips and seeped towards the corpses.
“Get up.”
To turn a dark spirit into a dark spirit, there is a more complicated process than you might think: killing it directly, picking up an awakening stone or soul stone, melting it, and then summoning it.
However, when using parasitic trees, it was possible as long as there was a corpse, regardless of whether it was an intelligent being or an animal.
In terms of lion revival, it was upward compatibility with the necromancer Songjang.
“Uuuuu!!!!”
The dead were resurrected by being entangled in parasitic trees. The dead are revived according to the amount of parasites that grow in Kang In-ho’s body. Although the parasitic tree cannot reproduce on its own, it was able to produce as much as Kang In-ho extracted indefinitely.
“Lamech!!! Stop the devils!!! “You guys, come pick up the magic stones!!!”
Kang In-ho sat down and absorbed the magic stone like crazy.
Absorb the magic stone, fill it with magic power, and send it back to Xiaetl’s fruit to pull out the parasitic tree.
“Come on, let’s shake it off.”
Kang In-ho grinned.
Lamech only planned to strike the final blow if he captured both Pibhal and Abalam.
