Man is infinite, and his ambition is to slay the dragon

A giant thunderbolt that vaguely resembled a lion came crashing down, directly engulfing the flying masked parasite!

(Hopefully not killed directly.)

Thinking of this, Sieg was about to give chase when two figures suddenly rushed out from the remaining bursts of lightning!

Qi Ge and Nangong Nayue's eyes suddenly widened!

“——No injuries?!”

"Tsk!"

Looking at the two masked parasites flying at high speed, both of them were a little surprised.

Nangong Nayue was well aware of Sieg's strength, and she was also aware of how powerful the lightning power derived from the fourth true ancestor's fifth familiar was. There were no more than ten people on the entire Xianshen Island who could survive, and even fewer who could survive without getting hurt, and the two masked parasites were obviously not among them!

But now...

"First, it shattered my Discipline Chains, and then it took the attack from the True Ancestor's Beast without any injury. What on earth is that thing?"

“Buzz——————!”

Just as Nangong Nayue was thinking, as if a little unconvinced, Sieg instantly increased his speed to supersonic speed. After breaking the sound barrier, he caught up with the masked parasite in an instant, and slashed out with the silver sword covered with lightning!

“Boom————————!”

The sound of thunder resounded in the air!

The feeling coming from the blade was neither the feeling of flesh nor the feeling of being blocked by something, but rather the feeling of [not hitting anything].

The sword blade was clearly suspended in mid-air, and it clearly and definitely touched the opponent's body, but Sieg didn't feel that he had hit the opponent at all. He only felt that there was nothing in front of his sword blade.

"Buzz!"

Sieg accelerated and distanced himself to avoid the counterattack of the masked parasite, staring at the two of them with a frown.

(What on earth are they? In my future self’s memories… there is nothing related to them.)

It's not that I can't remember it, or that it's a little vague, but that I don't have it at all.

Whenever Sieg encountered something related to his future self, he would always have a feeling of enlightenment, and memories would emerge in his mind. But this time he didn't have that feeling at all. It seemed that his future self had never experienced this incident, and had never fought against these masked parasites!

(Should I be more serious? Or should I just transform into a dragon?)

Sieg was thinking about what to do next, but at this moment——

"Pfft!"

The two masked parasites who were looking at him actually slashed at each other with the lightsabers in their hands and started killing each other!

Before Sieg could react, in just a moment, one of the masked parasites seemed to have used its greater strength to completely tear the other masked parasite into pieces, dug out a large piece of internal organs from the body that was split in half, and swallowed it!

(ha?)

This horrifying scene made both Sieg and Nangong Nayue feel doubtful.

What is this doing?

Infighting?

No, it seems that before the two of them came, the two masked parasites were fighting in the air, so this is...

(It's a bit like raising a Gu.)

Em's voice sounded in Sieg's mind.

(A local curse that locks a large number of poisonous insects in the same place and lets them kill each other. The one that survives is the strongest poisonous insect.)

(This situation is somewhat similar to the record of raising Gu in the database of the Clinshid - be careful, it's coming.)

As Em finished his words, Sieg, without even a second of distraction, raised his silver sword and slashed at the masked parasite that was flying towards him with a lightsaber!

"------!"

At the moment when the swords crossed, Sieg frowned again due to a strange feeling. He threw away the ice sword that was cut into pieces cleanly in his hand and accelerated into the sky!

“Gahhhhhhh——————!”

The masked parasite let out a strange roar and instantly changed direction to chase after Sieg!

But just as she turned around, Sieg swooped down and grabbed her neck and wrists with his hands.

(If the feeling of the chop is not right, just use your own hands. Besides, as long as you still look like a human, I can completely deal with you the same way I deal with humans!)

Zigg pressed hard with both hands!

The masked parasite's arm was immediately bent in an alarming arc, and at the same time, his neck seemed to be broken, twisting into a ninety-degree right angle!

But even so, just when Sieg wanted to go a step further and destroy her, an unusually dazzling and strange white light suddenly lit up on the masked parasite!

"Well----!"

The dazzling light made Zigg squint subconsciously.

By the time he and Nangong Nayue regained their sight, the masked parasite had disappeared without a trace.

"Tsk, did you run away?"

Ziggy pouted.

(Miss Brunhilde!)

[The person is being tracked physically, but cannot be sensed by non-physical means, so there is a high probability that he will be lost.]

(It doesn’t matter, just keep an eye on it and find it later!)

【learn】

Folding his wings behind him, Sieg quickly landed next to Nangong Nayue: "It seems we have encountered a more difficult opponent, Nayue."

“Yeah.” Nangong Nayue’s face also looked a little ugly.

A national magician may be the best witch in the world.

A young dragon that killed the True Ancestor and is known as the most vicious terrorist in the world.

The two of them were unable to catch any masked parasites together, even though they were both holding back in their fight. But this was enough to prove how abnormal the masked parasites were.

(Mask Parasite...)

Glancing up at the night sky, Sieg fell into deep thought.

(My future rival whom I have never met...?)

69. Narrackville

The next day, noon.

In the atrium shared by the junior high school and high school departments of Caihai Academy, under a big tree.

"Eh? Didn't you catch it?"

Himeragi Setsuna, who came to ask Sieg for details about what happened last night because she was a little concerned, couldn't help but show a look of astonishment on her face after hearing what Sieg had recounted.

"Even the senior and that Nangong teacher couldn't catch him..."

Yes.

Couldn't catch it.

Although after that, the Crainhild included the entire Genshin Island in its monitoring range, and even turned on the stealth mode and lowered the hovering altitude into the atmosphere for better surveillance, it still failed to find any follow-up traces of the masked parasite.

The monitoring capabilities of the Klinshid are so powerful that it can accurately lock onto a specific person in a vast crowd. Sieg has never encountered such an abnormal situation before.

"The body of the masked parasite that was torn in half has been recovered by Na Yue. The management commune is currently conducting research and analysis on it. The results will probably be out today. The follow-up investigation should also wait until the results come out."

Sieg said as he took a bite of the bento prepared by Toudou Daohua.

And Himeragi Setsuna looked solemn: "I didn't expect the masked parasite to be so dangerous."

"No, it's not very dangerous—that's how I see it."

Sieg shook his head. "It's special in that our attacks can't interfere with it at all, but other than that, there's almost nothing worth worrying about. If we really talk about combat power, I can beat several of them. I'm sure you can handle it one on one."

This is Sieg's most direct evaluation of the masked parasite.

To be honest, they are not that strong, but because of their strange characteristics, Sieg is helpless against them.

(It feels like I’m fighting with myself.)

Sieg has a clear self-awareness and knows how bad his regeneration ability is. If it weren't for this regeneration ability, he would have died in Hell Valley. The strange characteristics of those masked parasites are similar to his regeneration ability, which can support and rely on the owner to fight across levels.

As long as it can be broken, the rest will be easy to solve - at least Sieg feels that once he loses his regenerative ability, or encounters a situation where his regenerative ability is restrained, his ultimate combat power will probably be reduced by about half.

Not being able to risk his life is quite fatal to him.

"Please don't judge by your own standards. Generally speaking, the situation of the Masked Parasite is already a very serious magical disaster." Himeragi Yukina said, "I will keep the Snow Wolf by my side at all times. If you need me, please feel free to do so. This can be considered a way of repaying you, senior."

"Repay? When have I ever done anything that requires you to repay me?"

"There are many - then, Senior, I will go back to Junior High School first."

"Oh."

Looking at Himeragi Yukina running away quickly, Sieg closed the lunch box in his hand and glanced at the corridor not far away: "Himeeragi, let's go. How long are you going to hide there, Asagi?"

After he shouted like that, the figure of Lan Yu Qian Cong slowly poked half of her body out from behind a pillar in the corridor, and walked over with a helpless look on her face: "When did you find out?"

"At first. I was curious about why you were hiding."

"Aren't you and Himeragi alone together? What if I come over and disturb you..." Asagi sat down next to Sieg, "It looks like you two have become close friends."

"Is there? Anyway, my relationship with her in the future can only be described as ordinary, similar to now, right?"

Even the future Setsuna Himeragi would not talk to Sieg alone like she does now, following Akatsuki Kojou all the time like a stalker - if the situation hadn't changed now, Sieg would probably have been treated the same way, right?

"So? What are you doing hiding in the shadows? Want to see me for something?"

"Well, I guess I have something to do. Actually, I encountered something strange after returning home yesterday, so I thought of coming to discuss it with you." Asagi took out her cell phone and held an email in front of Sieg. "Yesterday, after being escorted home by Hime Hiiragi, I was surfing the Internet to kill time, and then I found an interesting puzzle post on the dark web that was praised by many people as difficult, so I went in and took a look."

"It turned out that the puzzle was very simple, just a word puzzle, and I solved it and logged out. As a result, while I was taking a shower, the email broke through the firewall I set up and was sent to my computer."

Sieg glanced at the content displayed on Qiancong's phone - it showed a strange sequence of text of unknown origin. It was different from any language Sieg had pointed out, and it was not a spell used for magic or spells.

After thinking for a moment, Zieg said decisively: "I don't understand, is this thing suspicious?"

"There's nothing suspicious about it. After it was deciphered, it turned out to be a simple program. I tried to analyze it and found that it was the activation code of something called [Narakville]." Asagi explained, "But this kind of activation code of unknown origin will generally cause some trouble, right? I came to ask you with this idea. If something I did out of idleness caused trouble, I would feel a little guilty."

"Then don't try to decipher it in the first place."

"No hacker can resist deciphering a ciphertext! It's an occupational hazard!"

Lan Yu Asagi emphasized it again with a very serious expression!

(Didn’t you use this as a part-time job before?)

After silently complaining, Sieg contacted the Kreinsheed.

(Ms. Brunhilde, Miss Em, are you busy?)

[Not too busy, may I ask what can I do for you, Master Sieg?]

(Qiangcong, there is something I want you to investigate - Narakville, can you investigate this keyword-related information worldwide?)

[Yes, I will reply to you before 7 o'clock tonight]

(Thank you for your hard work. By the way, how is the investigation into the masked parasite going?)

[Lord Em is currently analyzing the situation and seems to have made some progress. If you are interested, you can come back later.]

(I see. I'll be back tonight.)

【Obide】

The contact ended there.

Zig returned the phone to Asagi: "Wait until after school today, I'll find some time to investigate. If you really got into any trouble, I'll help you solve it."

"Thank you! I'll lend it to you to copy your homework later!"

"You're basically making me work for nothing."

Normally, Asagi Aiba would always borrow Sieg's homework to copy, but now what she said was basically the same as not saying anything.
