    Chapter 225: It’s Not a Meeting, It’s an Invasion! 7

    It’s Not a Meeting, It’s an Invasion! 7

    “Ku, kyahuk….”

    Over a thousand vampiric maggots made a judgment.

    They couldn’t defeat those two alone.

    Alice and Fira had displayed formidable power, but especially Alice’s power of Gluttony was instinctively felt as a threat that touched the life force and origin of the vampiric maggots.

    Originally, according to the Dunhill Family’s hatchery tradition, the vampiric maggots were meant to have the strongest one survive in the end.

    The strongest one would devour the blood and flesh of its siblings to become the subject of Fusion.

    But now, they were on the verge of dying from the calamity before even determining the strongest one.

    With their survival instincts heightened, mana hormones were constantly secreted, and a significant number of vampiric maggots gave up on themselves.

    They prioritized killing Fira and Alice before their own survival.

    Thus, 892 vampiric maggots gave up their lives.

    112 vampiric maggots volunteered to be the subject of Fusion.

    However, becoming the subject of Fusion meant being able to fully withstand the life force, power, and mana of the maggots that had given up their lives.

    Here, another 72 dropouts occurred.

    The remaining 40 vampiric maggots became the subject of Fusion, and as an ego was imprinted and humanity was created like Fira, its form was not a complete human but a vampire with sharp claws and fangs, and bat wings attached.

    “Krrr….”

    Due to the sudden Fusion, the fused vampiric maggots took the form of a skinny young woman without skin.

    However, even with an incomplete Fusion, the combined power of immense mana and life force was definitely not negligible.

    “[Kyaaaaaaaa-!!!!!]

    “Kyaaak! The girl’s eardrums…!”

    “Ugh…”

    Alice was fine because she was made of metal cells, but Fira was a complete 100 percent organic being, so her eardrums ruptured from the sudden ultra-high frequency.

    Even if it could be regenerated, the unpleasant and painful feeling from the start didn’t just disappear.

    “You damn mosquito bastard…!”

    At first, Fira felt a bit of guilt at the thought of having to kill her own blood relatives, but after seeing the vampiric maggots completely transformed into mosquitoes through Fusion, there was no need to treat them as humans anymore.

    Fira clenched her fist, and at the same time, the maggots within her began to engrave high-density magic circles.

    “Curse of binding.”

    The curse engraved in the air simultaneously bound the subject of Fusion.

    Before they could even blink, the curse of binding was transformed into burning fire and lightning.

    “Burning insects, electrocuted insects.”

    -Pajik!

    Ominous purple lightning and blue flames simultaneously scorched the surroundings, burning the maggots infected with the True Ancestor Virus.

    However, the subject of Fusion was not an easy body to kill.

    “Kkeudeuk!”

    A small finger emerged from the storm of burning fire and lightning.

    It was on the verge of turning to ashes from the fire and lightning, but it barely managed to escape.

    No, it wasn’t a hand, but only a finger that had escaped.

    For a True Ancestor, even a tiny cell could regenerate infinitely.

    -Kyaaaaak!

    It screamed again.

    The vampiric maggot, whose entire body was regenerated from a single finger in an instant, now had its skin regenerated and had the form of a complete human woman.

    The monstrously hideous fangs were hidden by fair skin, and a bewitching blonde beauty sat on the floor, glaring at Fira and Alice.

    “Oh my, damn it. Did she inherit the True Ancestor’s characteristic of regenerating even if only one cell survives?”

    “…Kihit.”

    A descendant of the Dunhill Family filled with life force.

    The True Ancestor Virus, which allows for infinite regeneration and is virtually immortal even if only one cell remains.

    In fact, the True Ancestor Virus requires a certain level of life force and mana to regenerate even if only one cell remains, but the Dunhill Family’s maggots inherently possessed abundant life force, creating a synergy beyond what was expected when the two were combined.

    “Hello, masterpiece… of the family.”

    The blonde beauty smiled crookedly at Fira.

    The True Ancestor Virus contained basic knowledge and the experience of the True Ancestor who was the source, allowing them to have a considerable mental age and maturity from birth.

    The Dunhill Family, which engraved the family’s formula and instincts into their genes, was the same, so the woman who had just been born could speak and have maturity.

    “The family’s masterpiece… position.”

    The woman, a combination of mosquito and maggot, muttered with a confident smile.

    “I’ll take it.”

    -Thwack!

    At that moment, Fira’s eyes widened as a fingernail pierced her side.

    As her mind sensed danger, the world slowed down and accelerated.

    But she couldn’t move her body back or move at all.

    Even in the accelerating world, the woman, a combination of mosquito and maggot, was approaching quickly, but Fira’s body, which wasn’t physically strong, couldn’t react that quickly.

    Even though she was aware of it, the attack was coming.

    When did she get so close?

    She lost track of her speed.

    Even though she was careless, how could I, the Ark’s strongest First-Class Overseer, lose track of her speed?

    Perhaps the fusion of the True Ancestor and the Dunhill’s descendant had created an unimaginable result.

    ‘With the True Ancestor’s power, even a defensive magic is impossible…!’

    In her accelerating mind, Fira spread a numbing magic in advance to minimize the approaching pain.

    But before that, someone intervened in the accelerating world line.

    -Kwajik!

    Before the blonde woman’s fingernail could pierce Fira’s side, Alice’s hand blocked its path.

    The True Ancestor’s fingernail could easily tear through even metal skin, so a hole was created in Alice’s palm, but Alice didn’t care and applied force.

    Even though her hand was bent in a bizarre direction, she exerted tremendous force by Gluttony the life force of the maggots, so it was only natural that the True Ancestor’s path would fall from Fira to the ground.

    -Kwaang!

    “…!”

    Only then did Fira’s body hormones recognize that she was out of danger, and the accelerated world stopped.

    “Ouch, that hurts.”

    Even though it’s a body made of metal cells, I still feel the pain.

    No, it feels even more painful.

    It’s only natural that my senses are much more sensitive than those of ordinary humans.

    But it’s bearable.

    My mind has been trained to endure pain since my previous life.

    “Fira, how does she look?”

    “…I didn’t think my magic or formula were slow…”

    But Fira sensed it.

    From the moment her limbs and bones were completed, she had the speed to escape the range before any ordinary magic could be activated.

    “Fly-like bitch…”

    “It’s okay. It’s okay. We just have different roles. I’ll take care of this.”

    As Alice put strength into her pierced hand, the life force she had absorbed through Gluttony was consumed in large quantities, regenerating all the wounds and holes.

    That’s why metal cells are so convenient. Even if they’re pierced and damaged, they can be replenished with the life force of organic beings.

    “Hey, mosquito? Fly? What should I call you… Ah, right. Since you’re a blood-sucking fly, I’ll call you a horsefly from now on.”

    “…Ahat?”

    Even though she didn’t know exactly what a horsefly was, the blonde beauty’s expression subtly hardened, as if she knew that the tone was subtly mocking or insulting her.

    “Don’t touch our Fira. You play with me.”

    “Khee, heeheeheet…”

    The True Ancestor, no, the hybrid of mosquito and maggot, who was slammed into the floor, bent her body in the opposite direction while still slammed and stood in place.

    She didn’t expect Alice to react to her speed, but it was enough to pique her interest.

    Right now, that horsefly bitch.

    The hybrid of mosquito and maggot was feeling considerable interest and curiosity towards Alice.

    It just so happened that the original True Ancestor, the source of the True Ancestor Virus, was expressing interest and affection towards Alice, and the ancestor of the Dunhill Family was Beelzebub, who was loyal to Alice.

    With the combination of their interest and affection, the blonde beauty called a horsefly bitch decided to gladly respond to Alice’s words.

    -Kieeing!

    With the sound of skin tearing, wings sprouted from the woman’s back.

    One was a bat’s wing.

    The other was an insect’s wing.

    Probably a fly’s wing.

    And the moment she flapped her wings slightly, her figure disappeared.

    -Weaeng~!

    A mosquito sound?

    No, the sound of a fly’s wings could be heard in the air, and a searching gaze could be felt.

    The horsefly bitch, flying at an invisible speed, was searching for an opportunity to attack.

    ‘She’s definitely fast.’

    In fact, Alice was the same in that she missed the movements of the True Ancestor and the maggot hybrid woman.

    Even though the much more accurate and precise detection sensors than those of organic beings were still installed in her body.

    The reason Alice reacted to the horsefly bitch’s movements when she attacked Fira was because Theresa moved her body before Alice could even move her body with her will.

    Were the True Ancestor and the maggot this compatible?

    The first created variant spoke as soon as she was born and grew to the point where she could threaten the life of a First-Class Overseer.

    Considering that even True Ancestors usually need a growth period and a period of adaptation to reality of at least a week, the blonde woman seemed to have growth and potential beyond imagination.

    Of course, it wasn’t normal potential.

    A True Ancestor, called a calamity, was mixed in, so how could it be normal?

    Even though the world treats maggots as humans, that was definitely not a human but a monster.

    “Okay, let’s play.”

    -Pang!

    Even faster than the sound of air bursting, the blonde woman was already close to Alice.

    ‘I trust you! Theresa!’

    【As expected, I’m the only one for humans.】

    -Kwang!

    A large number of mechanical tendril that appeared through the floor pierced the spot where the horsefly bitch had been.

    But the woman twisted her body as if she were doing ballet, dodging the tendril by a hair’s breadth as she swam through the air.

    Then, Fira, who was behind her, froze the air.

    “Ihit!”

    As half of her body froze, the horsefly bitch tore off and destroyed her own half with her own hands, and the destroyed body was completely regenerated in less than a second.

    Her speed was so fast that even if she was frozen and burned with extensive magic, she would eventually escape.

    She had a speed that exceeded several times the speed of sound, and she had the regenerative power to regenerate even if only one finger remained.

    In the end, the only remaining method was for Alice to directly reap her life force with Gluttony.

    Alice, who had finished her judgment, threw her body again.

    The blonde woman, who had just regenerated her entire body, licked her lips as she saw Alice approaching.

    Was it because the Dunhill Family’s loyalty remained in her genes?

    Or was it because the True Ancestor’s affection and interest had been activated?

    Either way, the result was excessive excitement and aggression.

    Instead of moving with her hands and feet, Alice quickly tapped the floor with her tendril and moved like a spider, then threw her body at the horsefly bitch.

    In the air, their hands and feet crossed each other like that.

    The horsefly woman, who recognized that all of Alice’s attacks were Gluttony that plundered life force, used her unique speed to evade all attacks.

    Alice flailed her hands and tendril in all directions to leave even a small wound on the woman’s body, tearing the surroundings to shreds.

    But only the innocent floor and ceiling, and the Dunhill Family’s mansion, were being destroyed.

    With the combination of the mechanical tendril’s movements, the speed itself was similar, but the speed was subtly lacking to deliver the finishing blow.

    ‘Tch, at this rate, there’s no way to settle this?’

    Alice frowned, feeling like it was going to be a long battle.

    The life force she had plundered from the vampiric maggots was still plentiful, but if it ran out, Alice’s overall abilities would decline.

    From behind, Fira was deploying all kinds of magic and extensive formula, interfering with the horsefly woman’s movements and mobility, but the horsefly woman, who had grown in intelligence in the meantime, allowed Fira’s attacks as much as she wanted, but always avoided Alice’s attacks.

    ‘Then I’ll have to make her come on her own.’

    Alice, who had finished her judgment, deliberately stuck out her leg during the battle with the horsefly woman.

    “Kihit!”

    Not missing the opportunity, the horsefly woman cut off Alice’s leg.

    The moment her leg was cut off, her body lost its balance, and the woman smiled so much that her fangs were revealed at Alice, who tilted her body slightly.

    I won.

    “Alice!”

    Fira urgently froze the surroundings and tried to drop a huge fiery meteorite from the sky, but the horsefly woman’s speed was enough to ignore all of that.

    -Thwack!

    In the end, the horsefly woman’s hand pierced Alice’s heart in a brief gap.

    Normally.

    If it’s life.

    All beings in human form die when their hearts are pierced.

    The horsefly woman knew that, so she accurately aimed for Alice’s heart.

    “Ihihiheet!”

    The horsefly woman, who had finally grabbed and burst Alice’s pounding heart with her hand, smiled with joy.

    Even if it’s a corpse, I’m going to play with it, I won.

    As she was thinking that and looking at Alice’s face, Alice’s eyes suddenly curved like a fox.

    “You should have aimed for the head.”

    “…!”

    Did you think that the Demon King’s complete body, made of metal cells, would die just by bursting one heart?

    Belatedly, the horsefly woman scattered her blonde hair in a mess and tilted her body back to pull her hand out, but the hand firmly held in the heart hole did not come out.

    “If you wanted to run away, you should have cut off your own hand without hesitation!”

    Even though she was given knowledge and mental maturity, she was definitely still young because the real time she had lived was not even 10 minutes.

    “Gluttony.”

    -Thwack!

    “Kyahat!?”

    Alice smiled and pierced the horsefly woman’s entire body with mechanical tendril.
