In a forest covered with towering redwoods that extend for hundreds of meters, night fell once again. The dense green leaves and the red hue of the trees combined, casting a navy blue tint over the darkness of the forest. In the chilly and silent space, six Heavy Walkers advanced with their lights on.

Lets see.

I observed them from above the trees. Honestly, as a quasi-player, I could just go down and take them all out, but theres a reason Im not doing that.

I cant afford to be exposed. If they find out Im a quasi-entity, Muriel will either prepare accordingly or try to escape into space to get away from me.

There doesnt seem to be another ship besides the battleship, but if they have a means of escaping into space, I cant stop them. To prevent this, I need to destroy all six at once, ensuring that the enemies cant capture me on camera.

I cant even sleep; what a hassle.

Hey, is that around here?

Yes, hes close.

Ah, that creature is wandering around a lot.

Its fortunate that hes close, it will make it easier for us to find him, so lets catch him quickly and go back.

The Walker operators complain about chasing traces all day long.

Alright.

Since everyone is momentarily relaxed, now is the time to strike.

Hidden in a suitable spot to surprise attack at any moment, I tightly coiled my tail around the tree and extended my upper body over their heads.

Now, lets go. l--B1n.

I quickly activated the corrosive tentacles. The sharp six appendages of the corrosive tentacles poured down like arrows, accurately targeting the control seats of the six Heavy Walkers. The tentacle pierced through the upper part of the control seats, pulling out or crushing only the heads of the operators inside.

!

The Griffin Wolf, who had been aware of my existence since earlier, leaped forward. The blood-sucking tentacle that sprang from my hand sadly missed the target and only struck the barren ground.

The leaping Griffin Wolf soared upwards. Its body defied the laws of nature, soaring into the air as if there were invisible stairs. Although there was an iron chain connected to its neck, it seemed like the creature had no intention of escaping.

Like an eagle spotting its prey, the Griffin swiftly attacked. Its target was not my upper body, but my tail, the part holding onto the tree.

Quickly releasing my tail and spreading the wings, I flew to another tree. In an instant, the creatures forelimb struck the Redwood.

Creak.

The sturdy Redwood was deeply gouged by the creatures forelimb.

?!.

The creature, as if it didnt know how to dodge, widened its eyes. I, now on a different tree, fluffed my tail dramatically.

It seemed the creature didnt know how to avoid flying. It stared at me with wide eyes as I fluffed my tail, then I swung it forcefully.

Large thorns, larger than kitchen knives, flew towards the creature floating in the air. With eyes resembling an eagles, the creature read the trajectory of the incoming thorns in a short moment and evaded them all.

As soon as the creature landed on the ground, the Walkers lost all their control, slowly falling forward.

[Whats happening? Why did all signals cut off? Mother of the sky? Whats going on?]

The Walkers fell prey to that creature.

Muriels bewildered voice flowed from the communication device inside the Walker. the Griffin responded briefly with a melodious tone resembling a bird of prey.

[WhatWhat did you say?]

He recovered in the meantime.

[What the hell?! What kind of nonsense is this? Hey! Bring out the cameras attached to the Walkers! I need to see it for myself!]

However I Couldnt have possibly allowed her to see me so, I activated the contaminated fungus organ. Contaminated fungus surged upward from near the esophagus, spewing it onto the control seats of the Walkers.

The contaminated fungus that fell onto the Walkers bounced around, adhering to all six of them.

Im dealing with that creature.

[Forget the nonsense and quickly pull out sssss]

.

Thunk!

The Griffin spews blood. With that blow, its waist and leg bones were all shattered.

If it werent for the Griffins exceptional vitality, it would have died instantly. Sensibility wasnt bad, but the opponent was weak. The timing was off too.

I had successfully subdued the Griffin. I grabbed the creature, which was barely breathing.

Iwillkillyourightnow.

Silence

Revealallyouknow.

I wasnt sure about the connection between the Griffin and Muriel, but they had collaborated. If that were true, the Griffin would likely have a lot of information about Muriel. I planned to decide whether to eat or spare the Griffin after obtaining all the information.

However, the Griffins response was unexpected.

Ku, kukuk, kugh Nothing has changed after all.

The Griffin laughed while covered in blood. From the recent attack, the Griffins spine and legs were broken, but if it werent for its remarkable vitality, it might have died on the spot.

Sensibility was not bad, but the opponent was weak. Timing was off.

The Griffin had been present at the scene, watching the events unfold. Despite my actions, it seemed to hold no fear of death.

Areyouinsane?

Kwak! Cooluk, kugh Well, its not wrong. From now on, Im going to do crazy things, I have lost my mind.

After saying that, the Griffin stared directly into my eyes. In its pumpkin-colored eyes, a boiling emotion could be seen.

It wasnt fear of death or despair over being eaten soon, as one might expect. According to the auxiliary apparatus below its jaw, the emotion seemed to be fierce anger.

Ill tell you everything I know. If you demand cooperation, Ill listen. If you want to treat me as a slave, go ahead. Even if you devour me, I dont mind.

Whatareyousaying?

Promise me one thing. Give Muriel the greatest despair you can show. If you promise that, Ill give you everything you desire.

It seemed that the relationship betweenGriffin Wolf and Muriel was not very friendly.Griffins hatred seemed genuine, even to my eyes.

Youdonthavetherighttonegotiatewithme.

I know. kuhhh, this is my position. But you know, the weakness of a parasite.

The Griffins gaze turned to my arm containing the parasitic colony.

Thisthing?

Kukuku, Ive struggled so much because of that that kuhh, it might look that it has changed in reality, however its still not perfect.

Griffin Wolfs insight was extraordinary. None of the opponents I had faced so far had quickly grasped my abilities. Thanks to the enhanced infection type, I could now control ten parasites.

Also, if I concentrated without moving, I could control the body of a being dominated by the parasites for ten minutes. In the game, I had often blown up clans using my symbiotic apparatus and parasitic colony.

Though there is a vulnerability, thats a fact.

Inducing internal conflict in the enemy is highly effective, but the interrogation function itself hasnt been significantly enhanced.

Therefore, as seen in Williams case, even under severe pain, one can choose to speak the truth or entertain distracting thoughts.

Moreover, it seems to know quite a bit about me.

Judging by its speech, its evident that the creature has fought against me in the game several times. However, Wolf has fought so many battles that its memories seem vague and uncertain.

Hmm.

As I remained silent, the creature closed its eyes as if signaling for me to proceed as I wished.

This dying Griffin Wolf is quite an intriguing being.

What should I do?

It would be better to contemplate more, but I dont have time.

Having made up my mind, I reached out towards the creatures head.
