The Foreigner on the Periphery - Chapter 41

Chapter 41 – Princess Run (16)
Theo’s eyes, which had been screaming evil as if they were prepared for something, flipped. At that moment, Minjun’s sensitive ears caught an unusual noise.

Next to ‘vibration?’ was the stench that irritated his nose. The source was Theo Christiansen’s body. Bleeding, tissue disintegration, and mutation were proceeding at a frighteningly fast pace. Upon realizing what was going on, a flurry of curses escaped his mouth. “Crazy bastard!”

There was an overwhelming skill gap. To describe it concretely, the moment he felt the gap that he could not even escape, Theo knew that his future had been decided. When Oh Man-sik decided to commit suicide, a scene more terrifying than the inferred ending was drawn in his mind.

It was natural when considering the quality of the sin. Hell would unfold incomparable to the pain he experienced while practicing black magic.

His choice was quick. Although he wanted to avoid death, it was a difficult decision for a person who had practiced black magic for the rest of his life.

‘But, I don’t want to suffer that much!’

It was the original hope of a man who had spent more than half of his life torturing orcs and goblins. In addition to this, there was one more reason.

‘I want to harass you even a little bit more until the end!’

Theo knew very well what kind of situation these hypocrites, who licked their moral superiority, had the most trouble with. He regretted not being able to preserve the integrity. remorse of conscience.

‘You’ll regret for the rest of your life that you didn’t kill me in Europe and missed you, and that you didn’t kill me all at once here today!’

That was where the warlock’s consciousness ceased.

Whoa! The body floating in the air seemed to disperse into black dust. Fine particles spread out in the air. Minjun rushed to pour the spell, but the curse had already failed and the physical magic literally “passed” through the opponent.

This was after considerable change had already taken place. Theo collided with the magic and collapsed, but did not disappear. From the place where the magic penetrated, the black line expanded and spread and covered the end.

It was a colony of tiny worms. Minjun knew the identity of that spell.

‘A magic that sacrifices itself, collapses the body and transforms it into a swarm of worms!’

A warlock who could run away from the pursuit of the eight elders put everything on it. Moreover, those kinds of spells were often completed much more powerfully than the spells the magician had used while he was alive.

What was more, the bigger problem was that it was not even an undead. The reason live insects could be far more virulent than dead ones…! Boo woo woo!

‘I’m fed up! I’d rather have a manova wasp!’

He quickly sprayed acid mist and set it on fire, as if spraying pesticides, but the number of black bugs covering the air only increased, even after Theo’s body had completely disappeared. The worm was laying eggs at a rate that was out of the providence. mechanical asexual reproduction.

The eggs attached to the tail were broken and the chicks hatched immediately. In addition to this, as soon as it spread its wings and took off, it immediately spawned and hatched again. The warlock’s body and magical powers were sacrificed and became nutrients.

It’s absurd reproduction and growth. It was just an act of copying a gene as it was, but it was fatal only at the rate of increase in number.

‘Oh my!’ A dark cloud rushed towards Minjun. He understood Theo’s intentions, so he was furious. There was no way he was going to die here because of that bug. However···

‘It has already begun to spread!’

Part of the swarm of insects wrapped around Minjun as if trying to stop him from moving, while others flew to the residential area beyond the airport and further into the sea beyond.

In the meantime, of course, the number continued to be called. Those wild gluttons who cannot be compared to locusts would eventually attack the city center. In addition to this, it was clear that they would bite people and carry diseases.

Theo Christiansen left a ferocious malice to the last minute. Minjun thought about it as he set off a spark and drove away the swarm of insects.

‘I can’t stop them from spreading by myself. Jenkins I’ll get mad later, but I have to let the other dragons know. And if I want to solve it from here, I have to cut off one of my arms…!’

It was then that the whole place turned dark.

“?!”

As if a total solar eclipse had begun, darkness covered the field of vision. At first, Minjun thought that the change was due to insects flocking from all directions.

However, it was a wrong guess. It was not the insect that blocked the sun so thoroughly. A terrified voice was heard from below.

“No?!”

“I… that is, what?!”

When Theo turned into a swarm of worms, the undead corpse, which lost control, caused a commotion instead of moving with a purpose. Thanks to this, the agents who made defenses around the jump line were also able to take a moment to relax. He raised his head and was able to focus his gaze on the cause of the sudden appearance of this phenomenon.

The sky seemed to be covered with a lid. It was usually difficult to feel a sense of closure just because the sun was setting. This was because the night colored the sky instead of covering it.

However, what appeared in the sky now was obviously covering the earth and the world. As a result of rolling the eyes along the borderline between the normal blue sky and darkness, it appeared to be about half the size of Yeongjongdo Island.

The twenty-six columns extending radially from the airport were absurdly thick. In the center of the fuselage was an abyss-like sphere that contrasted sharply in the dark shadows. For some reason, everyone could see that it was the pupil and was full of disgust and anger.

“!”

Something too huge was moving too fast. It seemed like an act of distorting reality when an object close to a landmark or building glided so lightly. As soon as one of the bronze pillars created a smooth and gentle curve, the agents realized that another name would suit it instead of the pillar.

If he had to choose… tentacle?

With that, thunder roared.

=Dare these filthy things!=

Earthlings almost fell to their knees. It was the most intense mental wave they had ever experienced. An echo that could only pray that the ‘dirty things’ pointed to by that being would be limited to swarms of zombies and insects.

However, as a human being, it was impossible to guess which of the six-kilometer-radius tentacle mass felt the strongest aversion to living mammals, dead mammals, or living insects. And, for a different reason than the ground agents, there was one mage who was frightened.

‘······Endelion?!’

Minjun knew what kind of race the author was. Strangely, the memory seemed to have a hole in the middle, but the combination of what was left was enough to surprise him. There were those who proudly occupied positions among the ancient races that made and ran the committee.

After becoming a prisoner, he was entangled only once. When he lost all his memories of the past and opened his eyes, there was that race in front of him. He told me about Minjun’s situation and what he should do in the future. In a friendly and polite manner. And with a little bit of compassion.

He had seen changes to the terminal inbound slots during the ‘why on earth?!’ battles. The blue flash that accompanied the leap was seething. It was absurd that some kind of ignorant race would come to Earth in this situation, but there was no way to send a message to return, and there was no will or time to run and give instructions without fighting.

Thinking of selling that as well, he immediately cut off interest and grabbed Theo hard. However, that Endelion suddenly jumped out of here right now, as if he was just riding on that jump ship.

‘Why don’t you ride a race-only jumper on such a small boat?!’

That question did not last long. A black hole pierced where Endelion’s gigantic eyes looked. A crack like a black hole in the air spread its power in an instant. No, to be precise, it sucked rather than stretched.

Whoa hey hey!

The swarm of insects that spread widely and occupied the air was swept into the black hole as if turning the video upside down. Those who were still in the airport, those who had permeated all over Yeongjongdo, and those who had already flown over the sea… all of them.

It sucked up without leaving a single one, much like a vacuum cleaner. Contrary to the great sight in front of them, the others did not feel a single breeze. Minjun, who was only a few centimeters away from the bug just before, was the same.

Finally, everyone made a realization.

If it was a normal adsorption phenomenon, it should affect the surroundings even a little. Therefore, it was not controlling the flow of the atmosphere.

‘Selective gravitational distortion!’

How many of those insects were there? Hundreds of thousands? Millions? It marked all the objects without missing a single one, and then pulled them with twisted gravity. Moreover, beyond that black door that was swept away…

Minjun, who confirmed with a vision that transcended human beings, hardened his body.

‘Wait, has that monster opened the door leading to the Abyss?’

It was a space that existed overlapping the physical world and the same coordinates as in the spiritual world. It was not a parallel universe that jumped by leaps and bounds, but a dimensional layer that was connected by a separate technology or magic.

Among them, the Abyss was a space called a multidimensional trash can that even the committee had given up on exploration and research. It was the kind of hell where prisoners who were judged to be uneconomical even through labor reform were thrown away.

A black hole that even the committee could not figure out how to take back what it had put in. Minjun muttered to himself., ‘Who the hell is he? Shouldn’t that be enough for the committee to come quickly and catch it? I don’t know who it is, but I’ll try not to get involved as much as possible.’

With the threat of Princess Vermi behind, the chief of staff, Blair, slowly walked towards the unmanned cockpit.

Theoretically, the jump ship doesn’t need a pilot or crew. This was because one leap took only a few hours, and it was impossible to provide a service that catered to all tastes. The instrument panel of the unmanned cockpit was set up by the terminal staff in advance, so it was a place where passengers would not enter normally.

This was unless it was an exceptional moment like now.

“You’d better hurry up unless you want to get your face torn off. (You’d better hurry before tearing it apart.)”

The princess put down the cannon, which she couldn’t shoot here anyway, and poked out her threatening claws.

Hearing the growling swearing, Blair felt again that they had been firmly mistaken.

‘Why would a Stan princess learn English like that?’
