126. Hive Mind 3
“My head is a bit dizzy…but I’m fine.”
The black shirt replied in a calm voice.
He must have been parasitized by Gordius and became a host, but somehow he was able to talk normally.
‘Are you all right?’
Of course, a person who endures with strong mental strength or has tremendous tenacity can ignore the mental control even if he is parasitized by Gordius.
However, the black shirt had collapsed in a state of excessive loss of mental power until earlier. There is no way you can ignore mental control.
“Are you okay?”
“…what happened?”
“I was lucky.”
The black shirt pointed to the floor. There was a dark red liquid and several broken barrels rolling around.
“A while ago, when that son of Gordius invaded.”
“…”
“I touched the insecticide solution that I left there.”
“This is red flower pyrethrum extract.”
Seunghyun Kang said with a blue light in his eyes.
Red pyrethrum is a plant with a strong insecticidal effect that is incomparable to Denttrol mint.
“But I don’t think it has enough power to kill the dungeon’s boss monster.”
“It is possible to weaken it to some extent.”
The black shirt pointed to the red flower pyrethrum extract scattered on the floor. There were dead scarabs covered in liquid all over the floor.
“Gordius, wearing that, struggled and rushed at me. It must have been more painful than I thought because it wasn’t long after I was born.”
Gordius, who was parasitized by the black shirt, immediately cast mind control, but was unable to exert his power due to the aftermath of the insecticide.
“My head hurt so much… but I got through it like this.”
As a result, the black shirt was able to ignore Gordian’s mental control.
“It’s good, you bastard…”
Hearing those words, Le Peny sighed with a relieved face.
“I thought a lot because I wanted to fight you.”
It seems that he didn’t want to fight the black shirt because he is the leader of the Red Road gang, overflowing with love for his fellows.
It was a mentality that Kang Seung-hyun could not understand.
“Still, the fact that Gordius is a parasite remains unchanged.”
Just ignoring mind control, the black shirt was still a host parasitized by the symbiote.
“It would be embarrassing to carry something like that in your stomach, but I recommend getting rid of it quickly.”
“that’s right. How long will the insecticide effect last? Please ask this guy to heal quickly.”
Le Peny pointed to Kang Seung-hyun.
Originally, it was not easy to heal parasitic monsters, but now there was a skilled healer by my side.
“…Listen to me for a second.”
Then the black shirt reached out toward the wall and said.
“It’s a bit dangerous, but thanks to this guy, I got this incredible power.”
Whoops.
Mana rushed to the tip of the guy’s fingertips and
stood up!
It changed into the form of a sharp outstretched sword.
As I swung the sword in that state, the mysterious color of the sword spread and
[Sword of Confusion]
Hwaaaaagh!
It swept away the group of scarabs that were crowding the wall.
Buses’s!
Buses!
Then, the scarabs caught up in the sword spirit began to rush at the wall, struggling as if they had lost their minds.
[Abnormal status ‘confusion’!]
Crisp!
Pasasac!
The scarab rushed into the wall and was mercilessly crushed.
“Hey, could you write something like that?”
“It seems to be a newly acquired power.”
The Black Shirts withstood Gordian’s mind control, allowing them to wield the immense power provided by the symbiote.
The technique just shown seems to be one of them.
“Have you seen the captain?”
“I had a good look. So what?”
“…The thing I just activated is a deadly mental skill for wizards.”
The exact effect of [Sword of Confusion] is a skill that casts ‘Confusion’, the condition of the enhanced version of Confusion.
“Psychic skill?”
“There are many more than this. All of them are great things.”
The black shirt exclaimed excitedly.
Wizards are extremely vulnerable to mental damage due to the nature of their jobs. I’ll be prepared to some extent, but I can’t easily cope with the opponent’s powerful mental attack.
“With this power, I can trample on the Kamars… no, I can erase the Kamars from the land!”
“Hey you…”
“It’s been our Red Road’s lifelong dream to get rid of unlucky wizards!”
He intended to use the symbiote’s power to carry out the Khamar Terror.
“But it’s a bit difficult for me alone. I need help.
“…”
“If the captain helps, we can win for sure.”
If a powerful mental attack is combined with a powerful skill cancel, the wizard will never be able to defeat it.
Le Peny wasn’t unaware of that either.
“Why are you hesitating? Wasn’t that what you were going to do anyway?”
“….”
“Didn’t you quit because you thought Tracotti would get involved? Now that Gordian’s mind control is sealed, this is an opportunity!”
It was the moment when the black shirt said that and reached out to Le Peny.
grasp!
“…!”
An arrow shot from behind pierced the palm of his black shirt.
“Let’s go there.”
Of course, it was Kang Seung-hyeon who fired the arrow.
The black shirt shouted as he pulled out the arrow stuck in his hand.
“What are we going to do now?”
“I’m sure with this.”
grasp!
Seunghyun Kang pulled the trigger once again.
“That’s not a black shirt.”
“what?”
Le Peny looked at the black shirt with a bewildered face.
Again, the fired arrow flew toward the black shirt, but
shah!
The guy swung his sword and lightly cut through the arrows that flew by.
“Don’t listen to this bastard! You’re just saying anything to stop the Qamar terror!”
“I was just telling the truth.”
“As expected, this child is our enemy. Help me, Captain!”
The black shirt called Le Peni urgently.
Le Peny tried to approach the black shirt and asked Kang Seung-hyun.
“Honestly, I don’t want to fight with you. Because you’re a crazy monster… but I’m the leader, so if my subordinates ask for help, of course I have to help.”
“….”
“But if this guy doesn’t belong to the Red Road, there’s no need to help. Do you have any good reason?”
To his surprise, he was contemplating which one to choose between the two. That means that Kang Seung-hyun is a trustworthy person enough to worry about his affiliation.
“Gordius has no ability to transform! Don’t you fall for that child’s words? It’s me! Your friend Bill Sayhan!”
The black shirt exclaimed, very injustice, but
“exactly.”
Kang Seung-hyun opened his mouth with a smile as if he had been waiting for those words.
– “Why do you know about Gordius?”
“what…?”
“The symbiote’s true identity is Gordian Larva, but the people who were with me probably wouldn’t know.”
The identity of the symbiote was revealed after Kang Seung-hyeon defeated the entire Red Road search team and entered the altar room.
Until then, Red Lord only knew that the monster they found was a symbiote, but did not know what kind of symbiote it was.
“But why do you know so much about Gordius? I was curious about that?”
At the time, black shirt Bill Seiheon was knocked unconscious after being hit by Kang Seunghyun.
Of course, there was no way he knew about Gordian.
“And one more thing. It was our secret that Mr. Le Peni quit the Camar Terror because of Tracotti.”
The other Red Road members only know that the symbiote is dangerous and has stopped terrorism.
The only ones who know that Tracotti gave up terrorism for fear of getting caught up in it are Kang Seung-hyun and Gordius in Le Peny’s cocoon.
“In other words, that guy isn’t Mr. Seihan in the black shirt… it’s Gordius playing Mr. Seihan.”
Advanced symbiotes are capable of stealing and reading the memories of parasitic hosts. In addition, this Gordian is a boss monster, so its intelligence is extremely high.
“Perhaps he was thinking of changing into the body of a more powerful host, Le Peny, while playing him based on Seiheon’s memories.”
It’s an obvious result, even if you don’t have to ask.
It’s better to use a high-level magic repulsor as a host rather than a slightly skilled commoner.
“So who is the real Bill?”
“The real Mr. Seiheon was mentally controlled.”
It’s a natural story.
No matter how strong pesticides were poured on Gordius’ body, there was no way a human with low mental strength could withstand the mental control.
“That is correct.”
As if he had no intention of hiding it now, Gordius knocked out Bill Sayhan’s acting.
And he spoke with an expressionless face.
“You’re hindering me until the end. A nuisance.”
Shaaaa!
He created swords from both hands and rushed towards the two.
“Damn, you have to fight that guy too!”
“Obviously sound…. Let’s disperse for now.”
“Fuck!”
Papapat!
Kang Seung-hyun and Le Peny were scattered on both sides.
poison!
Wow!
Gordian’s sword cut through walls and rocks at breakneck speed. If the timing had been slightly delayed, it would have been the limbs of the two people, not the rocks, that were being ground by the sword.
grasp!
“It’s pretty fast!”
Host Bill Seihan’s fighting style is to press the opponent at high speed. He was a nimble guy, but as he was strengthened by the symbiote, he attacked with terrifying speed.
[Light of the full moon]
Char!
Gordius swung his sword without giving a chance.
His huge sword energy spread.
Hwaaak!
It was powerful enough to be incomparable to the [Light of the New Moon] originally used. An intense swordsman assaulted the two, breaking through walls and floors.
Chew!
“You don’t give me a break.”
I managed to turn around, but I couldn’t avoid it completely. The spreading black air grazed the shoulders and arms of the two.
It wasn’t a direct cut, it was only lightly brushed, but the flesh fell off.
“This is why kids who pretend to be conceited at speed are annoying.”
Kang Seung-hyun took the stamina potion into his mouth.
It was impossible to hit them with the [Harpoon Arrow★] because they were so fast.
Buses!
In addition, Gordius did not only use his sword, but manipulated scarabs everywhere to interfere.
[Scarab Ball]
[Scarab Spear]
A few scarabs gathered like a ball and attacked by flying or rising from the ground like spears.
“Is there any way to get rid of the symbiote?”
“There is, but we need to locate it. But it’s so fast, I just can’t see it.”
You can see fast-moving targets using [Observation Eye], but it consumes a lot of stamina.
Needless to say, [Extraction] is also a skill that requires a lot of stamina, so I can’t use it at the same time.
“Then be prepared to take a hit…”
Le Peny gritted his teeth and charged at him.
“I just need to seal the movement with Skill Cancel!”
Fuck!
Then, Gordius stopped using his skills and attacked with normal punches.
“Kuk!”
Le Peni defended the attack right away with a guard stance.
His skill cancel is a scam, but it doesn’t mean anything if the opponent doesn’t have magic or doesn’t use skills at all.
“The damage is also heavy!”
As this guy is the boss monster of the dungeon, great damage came out even without using skills.
As Le Peni had no choice but to step back,
[Full Moon’s Light]
created a sword again and fired the skill.
“Ah really! There’s all sorts of stuff!”
Le Peny shouted in exasperation.
Gordius moved at high speed and fired his skills, and when he tried to activate his skill cancel, he got a flat hit.
“If only skill cancel is activated, it can catch my ankle.”
“You don’t use your skills when you’re really close.”
I had to somehow find a way to cancel the skill from a distance.
‘Skill cancellation was activated when the body of the magic resister was touched in any way.’
Kang Seung-hyun thought for a while and said to Le Peny.
“Have you ever donated blood?”
