[Parasitic Essence Eater Queen]: The Queen of the parasite and the ruler of the parasite. It has the power to control all parasitic essence eaters in the whole cosmos and every parasite is connected to it. No one could deny the rule of the parasite queen. It also has the power to extract other parasites from a person's body but that person will die.
Souta read the details in his mind and just like what he had expected the parasite queen has the power to control the other parasites in the universe. This was quite good as he could easily massacre the commanders and generals in outer space.
There were more than a hundred commanders and generals out there and it will be enough for him. All of them were B-rank experts and the experience that he will receive from killing B-ranks were several times higher than C-rank experts.
In the past few months, it took him more than a million D-rank experts before he could raise his level by one. It's nothing as the exp that he received from those low-rank people was too low for his current level. The one thing that he needed now was C-rank or B-rank.
He was currently level 41 and the exp that he needed was more than a billion. Killing different creatures wasn't enough for him to level up. He needed to complete high-level quests and acquired those level-up cards or exp cards.
Also, some of the high-level dungeons. He would receive various rewards from the system if he successfully cleared those dungeons and labyrinths.
It's time for a high-level grinding. He was a third evolution stage monster so this was enough to complete some of the high-level missions and dungeons. He should also start collecting his equipment in the game to further improve his combat ability.
Souta shook his head and looked further at the benefits of the parasite queen. The parasite queen could heal him no matter how deep his wounds as long as he didn't die from the enemy's attack.
Upon activation, his overall stats would increase by 200 points. It depends on the stamina that the host provided to the parasite queen.
[20 points of stamina were equal to 1 point added in overall stats upon activation.]
[5 points of stamina regen per hour were equal to 1 point added in overall stats upon activation.]
The 500 points of stamina and 50 points of stamina regen were just an offering so that the parasite queen could successfully bind in his body. Maybe, this was the reason why only B-rank and above experts were suitable to become a host for the parasitic essence eater.
Also, these weren't the full benefits of having the parasite queen in his body. He could also store any kind of energy in the parasite queen. This was the reason why Gunsi had an enormous amount of mana.
At this point, he could only store 100 points of best feram in the parasite queen. To increase it, stamina was needed.
Damn, everything that all matters to the parasite was stamina so he had to increase it.
At this moment, the parasite queen was one with his body. It will not find another host until he died.
"Oh, great. This is perfect for me..."
Souta said with a faint smile on his face. In his body, aside from the parasite queen, he had three ordinary parasites. These three couldn't increase his strength and he couldn't use it. They were simply sleeping inside him until he extracted them and gave them suitable hosts.
It's time to finish this.
Souta looked at the sky and he stretched out his hand. The vajra sword flew at his palm and he placed it back on its sheath.
The gravity field around the destroyed palace slowly disappeared. He floated and went towards Torkez. Torkez didn't feel the parasite in his body going wild anymore after Souta took the parasite queen.
"Can you move?" Souta asked him.
"Yes, but my head still hurts but I could handle it," Torkez said as he stood up. He glanced around and asked, "What should we do? The royal family has died so we couldn't use them as a hostage anymore. Although it was a bit surprising you still killed the founder."
"We should find the control over those flying fortresses. The emperor didn't even manage to use it but I think that it will greatly help us." Souta said as he narrowed his eyes while looking at the flying fortresses around the royal capital.
This was the empire's ace so there must be some use for it.
"I understand." Torkez nodded.
"But before that..." Souta took a deep breath and used a small amount of energy in his voice. "Franklin stopped fighting. Don't kill them. Bring them to me."
His voice that was powered up by his energy echoed in the whole capital and everyone heard it. He could feel that the people that Franklin and the rest were fighting were still alive.
Those people had parasites in their bodies so he couldn't afford them to die before he could extract the parasites using the parasite queen's power.
Five parasites. It's such a waste if he let those parasites died under his watch.
After he said those words, he turned his attention back to Torkez and said, "Let's start finding the control."
The two went around the palace and it took them half an hour before they found the control that the emperor used before.
It was a single chair and a small triangular device. These two were buried in the debris of rocks. So it took them a while before they could find it.
...
Franklin, the dragon, and the rest of the elite team were fighting five A-rank experts who managed to liquefied their mana. Their battle was intense and powerful that it destroyed a quarter of the city.
The most horrible part of their battle was that thousands of civilians got caught up by the aftershocks of the battle.
The elite team was at a disadvantage. The three A-rank experts had parasitic essence eaters so they could hold on against the dragon. While the remaining two A-rank experts while fighting Franklin and the rest of the elite team.
Not just that, after fighting for a few minutes several ships of the empire appeared and help the five A-rank experts.
This put them at a great disadvantage. Then a strange occurrence appeared, a strange roar echoed in every direction and it prevented the people who had parasitic essence eater in their bodies.
It was a turning point in their battle. While the five A-rank experts were immobile, the elite team annihilated the ships of the empire.
That's what happened to the battle.
Franklin explained it to Souta who was looking at the five A-rank experts.
"So what are you going to do with them?"
He asked Souta. He was curious why Souta wanted these people alive. These five people were powerful figures and they were very dangerous.
"Nothing, just extracting the parasite."
Souta grinned as his right hand moved. Various strings of black flesh stretched out of his hand. It stuck on the head of the five experts. The flesh seeped in their bodies.
"Argh!!"
The five experts screamed as intense pain assaulted their bodies. They've never felt anything like this before.
After a few seconds, the strings flesh that was connected to Souta extracted the parasite inside five A-rank experts.
"No!!!"
Their bodies fell on the ground without any sign of life. They just died after Souta took the parasite out of their bodies.
The powerful A-rank powerhouses died just like that. People at this level were truly powerful. Even in Imperium, A-rank experts could already become high-ranking military officials. Even the branch guild masters of the Adventurers Guild were only B-rank experts.
Well, the exp that he received from killing five A-rank experts could be compared to him killing several thousands of C-rank experts.
"Eight. I had eight spare parasites in my body."
Souta said as he glanced at Franklin and the rest of the elite team. All of them did well in this mission. He will provide parasites to those suitable people.
Franklin was a little bit surprised when he saw Souta took out the parasites from the five experts' bodies. Just what happened in this place for Souta to have that kind of power.
Extracting parasites... According to their research, it was impossible.
"You! How could..." Franklin wanted to ask but Souta stopped him.
"I'll tell you about it later. But first, we should help our allies that are fighting in outer space." Souta said to him. He didn't want to explain again and again. He will gather everyone first and explained the parasite queen to his people.
Franklin nodded and didn't ask any questions. He understood that Souta will explain it to him later.
Souta glanced at Torkez and said, "Torkez, find the place where the ancestor hide. Gathered every research data and bring it to me."
