228 – Disintegration (4)
Parasite transforms the creatures it parasitises into powerful monsters, safely increasing their numbers within them.
However, at the same time, it paralyzes some of the brain functions so that the host does not extract them or remove them, causing them to lose their reason.
The important thing here is the schedule.
By destroying only certain parts, the creature that has turned into a monster makes the illusion that ‘I am moving by my own will’.
His body was distorted and turned into a monster, but part of his reason was paralyzed and he became a ruthless being who ruthlessly kills other creatures to protect parasites, but he still makes us think that he is clearly acting according to his will.
In fact, they act according to their will. To some extent.
I want to make known the greatness of blacksmiths so that the family business passed on by our ancestors will not disappear in the future and will be maintained.
For that, you have to show people something.
Just as Harold, who had such thoughts, came to the capital without thinking and ran amok to attract people’s attention, he really acts according to his own will to some extent.
At the same time, the parasite is influenced to some degree by the host’s will to create the illusion that it is moving by its own will, just as it affects the host’s brain.
For example, people who entered the Ruins of the 13 Heroes because they wanted to acquire ‘strong power’ turned into monsters after obtaining weapons.
Or, Harold, who had a weapon as a ‘blacksmith’ and tried to use it to develop a tremendous weapon that would not be weeded out in the flow of developing society, recklessly raided other monsters and scraped together weapons.
Depending on how the person who possesses the weapon perceives the weapon and how they perceive themselves, the parasite changes the body.
“Hmm.”
Jordi glanced at his face in the broken mirror.
“Good.”
The deeply sunken eyelids came up nicely, the damaged skin glowed, and the skinny body, which was so skinny that only bones were visible due to the loss of flesh and muscles, was filled with flesh and muscles as well as before.
Looking just like Jordi in the days when he reigned as the king of the country, he roughly threw a piece of mirror while looking at himself.
The mirror fragment hovered in the air for a long time before colliding with the ground and shattering.
After examining his body, Jordi moved his hand as if commanding it, and countless hands came up around him and covered Jordi’s naked body.
Jordy, who was wearing clothes made of people’s arms, snorted at him as if he didn’t like him a little when he saw himself like that.
“Hmm.”
Then Jordi snapped his finger, and the monster carrying Jordi slowly walked out of the building.
Jordi. A man who was born as a ruler among rulers, a king who took the crown even after killing his father and put it on his head, and even after losing everything and falling down, deep in his heart he still thinks he is a king.
The moment he acquired the parasite, he did not gain physical superiority, but the power to dominate others by turning them into monsters.
For Jordi, a weapon, a sword, was not meant to cut and kill people, but a ceremonial tool to grant knighthood to his knight.
Of course, there were many times in my life when I used a sword like a sword. He once served as a soldier, and at most late at night, when he was on guard duty, he used it to kill soldiers who bullied them for taking a little drugs and getting some sleep, and most of all, when he took the crown from his father.
However, all of that was written when absolutely necessary.
It wasn’t nice to have a bloody sword in the king’s hand. All it takes is the subordinates and livestock under him to get blood.
Like this monster walking on the floor full of filth right now instead of Jordi.
Jordi gave a parasite to every person he saw on his way and turned them into his own monster.
Parasites followed Jordi’s will and entered the bodies of others and turned into monsters.
Parasites have learned.
I learned that even if you create a single powerful monster, it will collapse helplessly in front of an army created by humans. That’s why I followed Jordi and increased the number of monsters.
Jordy makes a monster.
Create monsters and march through the slums.
Destroying and clearing the building blocking the way, he made his own way to go forward.
And the commotion was discovered first by the knights and soldiers who ran after the destruction Harold had created.
“What is this…… !”
Even if one monster is weaker than Harold, the number reaches dozens. In addition, each of them had enough hero-level physical abilities.
If that happens, it will be more difficult than Harold.
Following the brain of Jordi, the monsters attack knights, soldiers, archers, and other soldiers preparing for operations.
The elite army of the Jaim Kingdom, which moved organically and easily pressured Harold, collapsed and began to scatter in an instant.
Watching dying soldiers and commanding monsters, Jordi leisurely took up the drugs he had saved as he marched through the slums.
“Okay, good job! Do you like it. Hey, isn’t that great? It’s the first time I’ve ever seen an army that speaks so well. Articles always rebelled against me every time I spoke. Even if you’re a noble, that’s probably what a knight whose lineage isn’t very noble.”
Jordy is ecstatic while enjoying drugs for the first time in a long time while talking to himself to Aiden, a drug dealer he has half killed.
He began his work by sending monsters everywhere while attacking the army.
“Block the road by knocking down the building on the other side of the road. Blocking the wide road would make it difficult for the army to move. Oh, and keep the oil they carry with you. Because we will write And…… Ah.”
Jordi ordered the monsters to capture some of his soldiers, and he turned them into monsters in front of the army.
“…… What?”
The knights who were struggling with the monster, as well as the soldiers who were being slaughtered, instantly stiffened.
Who can not be surprised when a colleague suddenly turns into a monster right in front of their eyes?
Even, the monster-turned-comrades seemed to have forgotten the memory of sharing the joys and sorrows with them, so they rushed at the former comrades without hesitation.
“As expected, soldiers are much better than slum guys. They fight better because they do combat training every day.”
It was different from Harold and the people in the slums who only wielded the stronger power. Swing your powers correctly for greater efficiency.
“Then, how about articles?”
Jordi laughed at his intrigued face.
He thought it was simply the power to get revenge on Chester, but looking at it this way, isn’t it really great?
‘It’s like a traditional fairy tale my father told me when I was little.’
A fairy tale about the kings of the great kingdom of Beend who deceived and used the demon that was sleeping under the kingdom and saved the country from danger.
“Ah, it reminds me of the old days.”
After closing his eyes for a moment and reminiscing about his past, Jordy opened his eyes and looked at the knights kneeling in front of him.
The knights who had been subdued by the monsters were forced to kneel with broken limbs, trembling with humiliation and fear.
“I understand. Defeat and failure are the worst. Especially if it’s not your fault. Is not it?”
After turning Aiden into a monster and pushing him away, Jordi chewed his words and nodded his head.
“Yes, that’s right. I did too. If you think about it, everything starts… It happened after that lowly livestock became Monia’s exclusive butler!”
Chester became Monia’s exclusive butler even before she entered the academy, and the fact that Tiara appeared and that Jordy fell in love with Tiaga is completely unrelated to that story, and it is clear that he did all the wrongdoing. As… ….
None of that mattered to Jordi.
He had feelings of guilt and regret. It was important that he was able to hold his head up proudly and confidently after blaming it all on someone else.
If a king says that someone is guilty, he is a sinner even if he is pure and innocent like an angel.
That was the principle and law of the world.
“Yes, it is. Yes.”
The knights swallowed dry saliva.
The man in front of me didn’t look normal at all. He looked like a maniac addicted to drugs when he said something to himself with his eyes gone and gone.
If that’s not the case, he’s a monster from a while ago who muttered strange things to himself.
Naturally, while Jordi was saying this, he was not at all interested in the thoughts of the knights. He was just casually saying what he wanted to say.
After turning even the knights into monsters, Jordi began wandering the city in search of Chester and Monia.
And, watching all of Jordi’s actions from a distance, Eugene broke out in a cold sweat.
“This is not the end of the country… ?”
From noble mtl dot com
Should I run away? Let’s run away.
Right after Eugene got up thinking that, Eugene was spotted by some of the monsters that were roaming around on Jordi’s orders.
“Oh, crazy.”
After swearing, Eugene immediately started running down the street avoiding the monsters.
And with him, more soldiers and knights poured into the streets.
Hateful, twisted monsters that taint people by destroying the streets.
An army fighting against such monsters.
Those who saw it said in unison.
The country is collapsing.
