Chapter 124

124. Hive Mind 1

Koo Goo Goo Goo!

“huh? What is this sound?”

“Everyone, watch your head.”

Kang Seung-hyun and his party, who were enjoying a cocktail party, heard a strange sound and stood up. There were strong vibrations in various parts of the cave, and walls collapsed.

“Is there an earthquake?”

“This is not just an earthquake.”

Buses’s!

Susut. Susut.

The constant sound of wings flapping along with the sound of cracks in the walls. If it was a simple earthquake, there was no way you would hear this kind of sound.

‘A child who can make a sound like this is...’

Kang Seung-hyun spurned his seat and ran out.

Let’s get out of the accommodation cave and head to the central square of the hideout.

Bezzzzzzz!

Ssssss.

A huge number of scarabs were crawling out of the broken walls and floors. Those who had been asleep in the cave in a petrified state woke up all at once.

‘As expected, there are only scarabs.’

Kang Seung-hyeon watched with arrogance as the scarab was freed from the stone and wreaked havoc.

‘The culprit who petrified them and buried them in the cave must be the boss monster of this dungeon.’

So that the Scarab was released from petrification.

‘Sounds that the child of a bug has awakened.’

It means Gordian Larva tore the cocoon and hatched.

‘I’ve been bothered by work.’

In the process, a powerful thought wave that lowered the mental power came out, but Kang Seung-hyun and the others didn’t realize it because Le Penny, the magic resister, was by their side.

“What is this all about? Isn’t that a scarab?”

“It’s not just one or two!”

“This is a safe zone where monsters do not appear because the raid is over...”

Red Road, who followed Kang Seung-hyun, was shocked to see a pile of scarabs. It was because not one or two, but dozens of hundreds of scarabs were showing up.

“They are subordinates of the symbiote Gordius Larva.”

“A subordinate of the symbiote? That means...”

“Tsk, that bastard is waking up.”

LePenny clicked her tongue and muttered.

He was quick to understand, so I didn’t have to explain at length.

Buses’s!

At that time, a group of scarabs flapped their wings loudly and began to enter the dungeon.

‘huh?’

Normal scarabs fly around frantically when they move, but the swarm of scarabs here are calm and move in an orderly manner.

‘These bastards are openly doing suspicious things.’

[Observation Eye]

Kang Seung-Hyun didn’t miss that point and activated [Observation Eye].

[Brainwashing]

[Tavilla Scarab]

[I just woke up from petrification.]

[I was attacked by a powerful mind control attack.]

[I am controlled by Gordian Larva.]

‘As expected, I was controlling the scarab.’

Gordius Larva is imprisoned in the barrier Le Peny set up. Realizing that it was impossible to escape on his own, he intended to break the barrier by manipulating the scarab with mind control.

“Their destination is inside the secret room inside the dungeon.”

Kang Seung-hyun said to the Red Road gang.

“Inside the secret room?”

“I’ll give you a detailed explanation later.”

[Summons Freea’s crossbow.]

“First, take out your weapon.”

Kang Seung-hyeon took out his crossbow and pursued the group of scarabs.

“You take out your weapons too.”

“okay!”

“okay!”

The Red Lord gang also took out their weapons and followed Scarab to the secret room in the dungeon.

Buses’s!

[Fria’s bond bag]

[Generates arrows of Dentroll mint concentrate.]

Kang Seung-hyeon took out his crossbow and pulled the trigger at the pile of scarabs.

PABABABABAK!

As the arrows were made of concentrated liquid that was lethal to weak insects, several scarabs fell off after being hit by the arrows.

“Ate! It works!”

“Ah, the strongest healer!”

The Red Road duo behind them shouted with joy.

Buses’s!

Then, Scarab Cannon used [Sense of Superiority] again. He summoned a new scarab into his body and restored his broken body.

As if replacing a broken part.

“Using [superiority] for therapy!”

“That guy also has the talent of a wild healer.”

Seunghyun Kang liked that look.

Because he was a man who liked to heal by any means and methods.

“I hope to be born as a healer in my next life.”

Kurrrrr!

Kang Seung-hyeon activated [Observation Eye] while dodging the attack of the scarab cannon.

[Observation eye]

All sorts of information floated above the huge mass of scarabs.

[Brainwashing] [Rare]

[Black Sun Scarab Cannon]

[A colony monster made up of many scarabs.]

[All scarabs share a mind.]

[They do not dissipate easily thanks to the magic emitted from the body.]

[ Even if the scarab that makes up the body is damaged, it is restored by calling in a new entity.]

[The scarab in the center is the weak point and the core.]

[It is being manipulated by Gordian Larva.] ‘

As expected, it was being manipulated by the symbiote.’

To defeat this Scarab Cannon, it seems that you need to attack the rare monster in the center of its body.

‘To do that, I have to deal with the outer surface of the scarab.’

The group of scarabs that make up the body of the Scarab Cannon don’t just stick together. They are tightly connected by magic.

That’s why it won’t fall unless you attack with strong power.

‘If only those guys were connected by magic...’

The moment they touch the body of the magic repulsor, powerful sparks will arise and scatter.

Seunghyun Kang immediately shouted at Le Peny.

“Mr. Le Peny is a monster that has been united using magic. You can catch it by approaching it and activating the skill cancel.”

[Reinforcement – Increase Defense]

Kang Seung-hyun threw a reinforcement needle toward Le Peny’s body.

fit.

[Received the effect of the strengthening agent.]

[The skill effect was halved due to the magic repulsion.]

“Tell him to approach him? So, do I have to take a hit?”

“I’ll treat you, so come on.”

“What kind of bastard...”

Le Peny muttered incredulously.

“Is everything there!”

I ran towards the Scarab Cannon rolling at high speed.

cooong!

Scarab Cannon and Le Peny’s body collided.

“Fuck!”

Tremendous damage was inflicted on Le Peny’s body.

It was only natural that he rushed towards the huge boulder.

Wow!!

“The damage isn’t a joke...”

Le Peny collapsed on the floor and muttered as she spat blood.

Wow!

However, the Scarab Cannon also received great damage as it rushed into the body of the magic resister.

Dismissed!

Jigsaw Jigsaw!

Powerful sparks erupted from the whole body, and

QAAAAAA!

rumble!

The scarabs that made up the body of the Scarab Cannon could not withstand the magic repulsion and scattered.

Buses!

As a result, a rare scarab [Black Sun Scarab], the main body of the Scarab Cannon, appeared. The guy urgently tried to use [Superiority] to restore his body, but

he said, “Thank you for your hard work.”

Kang Seung-hyun didn’t miss the chance and pulled the trigger.
