Chapter 251 (1/2)
Boom boom!
The cocoon rocks like a heartbeat, emitting its own vitality. Powerful mutants are watching from hundreds of meters from the cocoon. Red Eye’s group is among them.
They are in the last position.
In the front, Blood Lord created a wall with his subordinates.
Shouldn’t they be at the frontmost position?
No.
Beholder said that when the cocoon wakes up, they need to figure out how much strength it has and what it is thinking before it makes contact.
To do that, they need to be in a safe place. What if it has the strength of White Queen and impure intentions?
They need to run away.
They created the wall in order to buy time to run away.
“Hey. Stop moving.”
Beholder speaks while on Blood Lord’s back.
When Blood Lord moved, it felt like he was riding a large wave. Beholder is slow, so he needs to get on Blood Lord’s back if he wants to run away. Blood Lord had refused in the beginning, but later allowed it after much convincing.
“Is it finally coming out?”
“I don’t have a good feeling. I feel like something’s going to happen.”
Inferno looks at the cocoon negatively.
It is disagreeable.
There’s no guarantee that it will become their ally as it had done before.
There isn’t a guarantee that something will happen, but their feeling that it is the latter is stronger.
“Hee hee! We wouldn’t have worried like this if Her Highness had been here, right?”
Inferno nods. There is trust in his action.
“It’s ripping.”
Red Eye spreads his wings. Inferno and Blood Lord also got ready. Whether it is to run away or for battle.
Beholder focused his mind.
The beating grew stronger and a clear liquid seeped out from the ripped gap. As more rips formed, the amount of liquid increased.
It looks similar to the amniotic fluid that bursts out of a mother when a baby is born.
Flap flap flap!
Red Eye flaps a huge pair of wings and flies near the cocoon. He is trying to capture any oddities from a wide view.
Through the rip, something similar to an organism’s eye passed by. Red Eye hadn’t been able to figure out what it was either because it went by hurriedly.
‘Is it him?’
The only thing inside the cocoon is Parasite King. If what Red Eye saw isn’t wrong, it will be Parasite King’s eye.
The cocoon swells. It inflates like a balloon right before it is about to pop. It is a close call. Red Eye looks at it in suspicion.
Mutants are generally born when they rip out of their eggs and cocoons. It is far from the concept of exploding like this.
There are individual differences and this wild appearance could be a process of its birth, but could it be from instinct?
It doesn’t feel so.
The expanding cocoon wriggles.
It looks like veins hidden inside the skin are moving. It isn’t constant. They move around at random.
Boom boom boom!
The cocoon rips like fabric because of the intense movement.
Has it reached its limit?
Red Eye saw the form through the rip.
‘A bug?’
Parasite King, the king of helminths.
