Chapter 365

The search for a place where the Pyromancer might hang out was surprisingly early. This is because after leaving the lava lake, we discovered several places where many creatures were gathered.

‘I’m surprised you found it so quickly?’

Like ice-type planets, volcanic planets have extremely harsh environments. Except for a few cases, most living things wander endlessly in search of food.

Areas like lava lakes are a place for many wanderers to rest for a while. The reason Pyromancers often visit the lake is to hunt animals that come to rest.

Except in such spaces, it is very rare for living things to gather together. So I thought it would take a long time, but my expectations were wrong.

“It’s not a place where many people can gather, so what happened?”

[Zuzu (well)]

Various types of animals can be seen gathered together on an empty field.

The Vulkaroxes were maintaining a minimum distance, and a group of Lavalaptors were nearby, waiting for an opportunity. And small and medium-sized omnivores like stoners were also mixed in among them.

It is quite an exceptional situation for creatures from different habitats to gather in a place that is not a resting place.

‘Did they leave their habitat because of volcanic activity?’

Among the creatures that inhabit this planet, there are not many that can survive without an erupting volcano nearby. There is a possibility that they came together like that by chance while running away.

‘Since I discovered it so early, should I eat the creatures over there?’

When predating earlier, it is transformed into a symbol of hunting, so the benefit of increased predation probability cannot be enjoyed. Still, since there are a lot of creatures gathered together, I think I can acquire about three or four characteristics even if I hunt them in this state.

‘Anyway, there are more places a Pyromancer would visit besides that place...’

As my thoughts turned to catching and eating the gathered monsters, I felt a familiar wave.

The wave that came from quite a distance was a signal sent by a parasite.

‘Why a parasite all of a sudden?’

I quickly checked the signal sent by the parasite, wondering if Heavenly Mother and PS-111 were in danger.

‘What sent me a signal was...’

The three parasites sent the same signal.

If three signals were sent at the same time, there is only one answer.

The members of the expedition team that took over not long after I arrived on this planet.

It was a signal sent by the parasite controlling them.

‘You found traces of him?’

When I took control of them, they were already investigating five volcanoes. In one of them, traces of the Magmasaur’s movement were found and it is said to be on the move.

‘We haven’t started subjugation yet.’

The researchers being controlled were on the same airship as when I met them.

Magmasaur, nicknamed the volcano devil, is, as its nickname suggests, a living volcano-like being. He is an enemy that even rankers find difficult to deal with. It is unlikely that a single research airship will be mobilized for combat, so it must be assumed that it is moving for reconnaissance.

“what’s the matter?”

Isabelle asked as I stopped moving and only waved my wing arms.

[Zuzuzuzuzu zzuzu zzuzu (I think the Magmasaur has been discovered)]

“What? “It’s faster than I thought.”

[Zuz, zuzu, zuzuzu, zuzuzu (since they said they were already investigating)]

“That’s right. “Then what are you going to do?”

Just like PS-111, its expression barely changes because it is covered in metal skin. But that’s not the case with the voice.

“They brought a Star Union bomb. “It’s so huge that it blows up the entire volcano.”

[Z(What?)]

The guy’s voice clearly showed embarrassment.

I, too, could not help but be taken aback by this completely unexpected situation.

–

“Has a message arrived for Amov?”

“huh. “Because they planted parasites, that alone would have sent a signal.”

A room full of rare items.

There was a Screamer and two Wolfs with large bodies.

The Mother of Heaven, a beast with the head of a bird of prey, looked at Wolf in front of her. The opponent was a male Wolff with the head of a fox, but he did not look normal as he was bleeding from his snout.

He ended up like that because PS-111 forcibly injected him with parasites.

‘I’ve used all kinds of parasites in my life.’

Controlling NPCs with parasites and pretending to be players. These two were the culprits behind Amov’s infamy. She too has suffered from parasites dozens of times. There was a time when I team-killed a clan member because of that.

But I never thought I would come here and use parasites.

“Your position is engineer?”

“Well, uh, I’m not at the level of an engineer...”

“If the information you can get from the answer is judged to be insufficient, it can cause pain.”

“Now, wait a minute! “I am the technician who maintains the lights inside this base!”

“Thank you for your useful reply. Next question.”

While she was thinking about a past she didn’t want to remember, PS-111 was skillfully interrogating her.

“Where is the computer that manages the light circuits here?”

“yes? That’s not why...! “I can access remotely from my personal computer!”

“Thanks for your cooperation.”

PS-111 nodded as if satisfied with the answer. The Mutant Screamer turned his beautiful face towards the Heavenly Mother.

“You can enter Area Q by remotely hacking this person’s computer.”

“...great job.”

She suddenly realized that there were two Amorphs around her, but she didn’t bother to say it.

After that, PS-111 started working by connecting his wires to the computer Wolf Wolf brought with him. Within minutes, he gained access to several facilities.

“Area Q is equipped with facilities to maintain and repair equipment. “We have modified the security system along the way, so you can take the route I am telling you.”

「Is that possible?」

“It’s possible if you’re special.”

“Then, can you access the equipment storage from here?”

“Some places are protected by a cult-style security system. The system is closed, so remote hacking is not possible. They must be physically accessed or released through the General Manager’s Office.”

“Then it must be difficult.”

The reason they came here secretly was to make her equipment. It is sufficient to come and attack the enemy’s equipment storage later with Aimov.

‘It’s a little disappointing, but there’s nothing I can do about it.’

Anyway, I found a way to easily achieve my goal. The two left the warehouse with Wolf the fox and headed to Area Q.

While going to the repair facility, I didn’t encounter a single person. Also, while moving, PS-111 kept adjusting the angle of the camera in the hallway using the computer, so their appearance was not captured. Compared to entering the base, it was surprisingly easy.

After passing through several corridors, they finally arrived at Area Q.

Upon opening the solid alloy door and entering inside, unfamiliar guests were greeted by a scene similar to the inside of a factory.

“Let’s get started right away.”

“huh. Please.”

With those words, PS-111 removed Dreadsong’s hide and Vortex One’s body fragments from his body and began modifying the district computer’s settings for material processing and assembly.

If the flames of this great metal furnace were extinguished.

At that time, the Mother of Heaven will obtain the only high-quality armor exclusively for Wolff.
