"Get back!"

The only ones who reacted to Red Eye's shout were the same-level mutants.

Inferno ignited and spread red flames everywhere.

Blood Lord got far away with a couple waves with Beholder on his back.

The parasites that flew at Inferno couldn't even get near him as they burned, much less dig into his skin.

Kyak!

The parasites swarm toward the giant Blood Lord.

He is powerful.

In the memory that Parasite King injected into them, that giant monster is one of the four targets they need to infect.

The thousands of level 1 blood sucking insects stuck to Blood Lord's coat, bare their teeth at the threat to their king.

The blood sucking goblins and demons were already in an all out war with the level 5 parasites the size of human fists, in which they would either be infected or killed.

The outlook isn't good.

They were being pushed back.

There are a lot of parasites, but they are as fast as they are small, so they were infected in the blink of an eye. The infected blood sucking goblins and demons were blank for a bit, and then began to attack their own species on the side of the parasites.

Red Eye roams the sky. He watches the battlefield from up high. With the parasites' surprise attack; they were swept into a tussle with one explosion.

"It would be easy to clear up if it were just the parasites."

Inferno emits flames as a characteristic of his species, but he is confident they can come out without a single scar without such special abilities.

How fast could they be?

They are just maggots to Red Eye.

The thing that bothers him is Parasite King.

He finally moves.

From the middle of the exploded cocoon, a mid-sized mutant stretches out his curled body. The form is similar to Cruel King. Instead of a gold mane, it is covered in a sticky and sluggish liquid that is transparent like water that shows the organs inside.

There's no way to know why he changed like that, though Parasite King himself would know.

"Beholder!"

As soon as Parasite King moved, the already red Inferno gave off a powerful heat like the sun. He can't just run away.

They need to retain force as well. And this was up to Inferno and Red Eye. Beholder, who is weak in battle, took on mental disturbance. Blood Lord is so big, that he is unable to distinguish between allies and enemies if he fights in the mix.

"Hee hee! That bastard! He's trying to make Africa his world!"

Papat!

Beholder used his telepathic abilities to tell Red Eye, Inferno, and Blood Lord what Parasite King is thinking.

There's no need nor time to explain to each.

It is more easily relayed than through speaking. Red Eye and Inferno reacted before Blood Lord.

Red Eye ran away into the sky and Inferno the ground. Blood Lord abandoned his underlings. He didn't care much because he can produce more.

'How simple.'

He is eager. It is a concept beyond good and evil.

Parasite King wants to create a world in which parasites could live. He wants Africa.

Moreover…

"He wants to infect us and use us as subjects."

Most of the level 8s in Africa were wiped out.

It is ownerless.

There could be mutants hidden somewhere, but this is the current situation.

From Beholder's calculations, Parasite King is weaker than White Queen but not something that the four of them can deal with.

As the parasite species has limits in strength, they prove themselves through seizure and breeding capability of parasitism.

He is sure that they have other abilities. Whatever they are, they will be dangerous.

They need to get away.

But there's no way Parasite King will just let this happen.

"You… need to become mine."

Boom!

Parasite King rushes out in a straight line with a large driving force.

He's so fast he isn't even visible.

The parasites get stepped on. The blood sucking goblins in front also fall over like bowling pins.

It feels like something is behind him. Inferno turns around. He is being chased. They are running to where the sea is.

They had created a plan beforehand. Moving through the sky is better, but there are no flying mutants that are capable of handling Blood Lord.

Not even Dragon would have been able to carry him.

Power dissipation is dangerous, so they plan on crossing the sea with Blood Lord.

'If we stop even for a moment…'

If they can do it, running away becomes a lot easier. Blood Lord is great at swimming. Being strong and being active in the water are separate matters.

If they get there, Parasite King won't be able to follow. It's just hard to get there.

'Hit and run.'

Inferno sudden turned while running away, and rushed back at Parasite King.

Surprise attack.

He pretends to run away and attacks.

A high fever kick is aimed at Parasite King's chest.

There is a difference in power, but there's no safety after getting hit with a surprise attack by a mutant of Inferno's level. Parasite King must have been surprised too, because he shuddered.

Bang!

Inferno's attack hit his chest hard. The strange smell of burning skin spreads. Inferno's foot went through Parasite King's chest. It is a fatal blow that would have been able to kill a lower level mutant, but ultra high level mutants can treat it with rapid regeneration.

"Ack! You!"

Inferno struggles to get his foot out.

It doesn't come out as if it were stuck in quicksand. He lifted his head and met eyes with Parasite King.

"One."

In this situation, there's no way not to know what "one" means.

One out of four.

It means Parasite King will infect Inferno.

His foot isn't just stuck. Parasite King is holding it so he can't pull it out.

Eek!

With a sound that could make someone's eardrums burst, a clear parasite forms from Parasite King's heart.

"That - that bastard!"

It is the clear parasite that Parasite King created when he infected Cruel King.

It is dangerous.

If that goes into his body and takes over his brain, it is all over.

The clear parasite digs at Inferno's thigh. The leg stuck in Parasite King's chest is burning in flames, but unable to protect him from the parasite.

That very moment.

Red Eye fell from the sky and cut Inferno's leg off. Then he carried him and flew up. Inferno's flames burned Red Eye's body, but he used regeneration to withstand it.

Inferno knew this and decreased the heat. He almost died.

"It was a mistake."

"Be careful."

"It's fine though because it made him pause his chase. Beholder got away."

It is true.

While Inferno risked his life to buy time, Blood Lord and Beholder ran far. They had gotten to their destination.

Red Eye looked at Parasite King while flying. He is conflicted. It is because he himself brought him here. It isn't anything like guilt.

Feelings like that don't fit with mutants.

He just feels weird about it.

"It's early to let your guard down."

It's true.

They need to stay alert until they get out of here completely.

It isn't over yet.

This is probably only just the beginning.
