" Hmm , not enough " Leech finished his meal eating up a monster corpse using his hive and being the mind of the swarm .
But he has a curse that makes him hungrier " That f***ing bastard !!! " so he controlled insects to help him eat more .
The monster the size of an elephant was only enough for half of his hunger . He used his insects to eat the entire thing . And thanks to his digestive enzymes he downed the whole thing including the bones .
" Ugh I want more food . " he slammed the ground repeatedly throwing a tantrum . Meanwhile , his insects fly around randomly with their instincts to find food .
They flew to a cave and then he lost connection to it . Waking him up from his trance Leech sent some insects to the cave ' The only who would kill that kind of harmless bugs are those who hate them or likes to eat them but I already cleaned them up . '
He licked his lips to prepare for his meal and finds the cave . Sending in a few insects he finds tons of rat-sized corpses " Wow is this there's food " the insects surrounded the little corpse while he took one rat and chewed its head off .
" Disgusting but will do . " getting deeper into the cave there were fewer corpses " darn it I was just having a meal and it ended . "
One of his insects entered into an environment completely different from the cave " Wow what is this place it feels great . "
Snap
" Hey , Not again " Leech sent more insects to investigate and finds a butler guarding something bright " Pesky insects get away . "
He slashed with a rapier killing them one by one while Leech lost contact " Those are just the weakest insects so let's send a few stronger ones . "
He sent a centipede that crawled quickly into the cave it had poison on its fangs .
The butler sensed the centipede and tried to slash it but it slid away dodging every strike he made " Now mosquitos mess up his utricle and saccule . " the centipede flew to his body making his ears bleed while he lost balance and fell to the ground .
" Milady run " then a spider bit his chest with fast-acting poison killing him . " Sebastian NOOO " the light faded and turned into a portal .
" Show yourself . " Leech saw the portal ' Why was it so bright and the other side was dark ... wait could it be a portal !? '
" If you don't show yourself then I'll find you . " the red-haired girl cried and killed the insects that killed Sebastian ' Oh no ' Leech gathered all his insects and prepared to counter-attack the enemy .
She saw him not believing that someone shorter and younger than her would be capable of killing Sebastian so she passed him and saw a swarm of insects at the entrance of the cave .
" Eww bugs " she slashed at the swarm ' Oh no you don't ' the swarm split and cornered her back in the cave . Leech hid deeper in the cave observing the battle while readying his weapons .
He spat poison onto his teeth and nails waiting for the perfect moment " What is wrong with these bugs ? " she kept slashing the swarm but it seems as though she was cutting water and it keeps forming back again and again .
She gets closer to the portal and furiously ran ' I'll get you for this ' " Urgh ! " she puked some black blood out and saw a tiny insect wriggling in it .
" What !? " the last thing she saw was a black hand stained with blood on her abdomen . The body dropped down slowly " Finally ! That was scary , good thing she was very stupid . "
He pulled his hands off the body and stared at her " Now that I'm looking at her she ... has a lot of meat . " the swarm came in and ate her body " But what is this portal ? Could it be a terminal station? "
The terminal station is a portal that leads to another world it can be defined as a final destination or just a treasure stop because those who entered never came back and those who did came with riches .
Leech imagined all the food he could eat and sate his hunger " Alright I'm going in . " he put one leg up and stop " No wait I have to finish this meal . " insects swarmed the butler's corpse and ate all of it leaving nothing .
" Mmm although he was told he had the scent of herbs . " his expectation went higher thinking how well treated the two were so he jumped into the portal and arrived at a basement .
" No food here maybe there are some upstairs . " he climbed the stairs and heard footsteps ' Oh no ' he runs back to the basement and found the portal gone .
' What it was a one-time use !? ' Leech look for any holes on the walls and escaped by turning his body into a swarm . Hiding inside the tiny cracks at the wall he travels further to find he was now underground .
Digging holes out he dug out a hole for his swarm to leave . Merging back to his human body he found himself in a garden with strange plants " Anything else ? " a scent in the air caught his attention ' The smell of something sweet could there be a carnivorous plant ? '
He sent a few bugs to the source and found insects being eaten by plants and a cage of small and numerous insects carried by a ton of little children who were hurt . And he was more interested in the insects that had a strange reaction to his hunger .
' This place is probably not like the giant city but more like a civilization that can control monsters like that . ' the carnivorous plant that attracted Leech had sharp teeth and a mouth even more terrifying than animals . From some books, he learned about plants having the cells of animals in them making them more monstrous than animal monsters .
' But also tastier than normal ' he sent the entire swarm to attack the plant starting from the stem up to its mouth . The children watched in horror as all the carnivorous plants died and then the insects inside the cages started to break out scaring them because these insects were carnivorous and could eat them .
The insects all flew in one direction and out came Leech " Oh great you're still alive " the children were frightened at Leech's appearance who had very sharp teeth sharpened from chewing bones , his hands have some dark stain in that he hasn't washed and his eyes had poisonous colors .
" Please don't eat us ! " a girl told him " Where is this place and where did you come from ? " " Will you not eat us ? " " Just tell me where and how did you get here ? "
The children were frightened and quickly told Leech what happened to them . They talked tales of running to the forest and getting kidnapped by humanoid monsters with red scales .
He leaves the garden hearing nothing useful and looked for other living beings " I hate this so much there is nothing but plants and stones . " he grabbed a small stone and crunched it as he would to a bone .
His bugs found some humanoid monsters with the description of the children ' They look like that girl but her eyes were brighter and she didn't have scales . '
The group ignored the insects thinking they were freed by accident but the gardener who was in charge of watching the children recognized the difference " I don't remember having that kind of bug. "
" Why are you saying that ? We have to find Madam ! She is in a critical condition we found lots of her blood behind the portal . " the person dressed as a butler shouted at the gardener .
" Then why don't we split up ? " " Madam and Sebastian are gone , they have the highest combat ability if the intruder can capture them then we can't split up and let them pick us up one by one . "
Leech stalked their conversation thinking about their combat ability ' Since they said those two are the strongest then I can take them all out ... '
" No wait " Leech stopped himself from initiating an attack , he remembered the carnivorous plant that uses sweet liquid as bait and a trap .
" First send a few flies " the group was bothered by the flies and because they weren't like Sebastian who was skilled with the sword so they could only try to slap the fly and ended up hitting each other .
Leech snickered and kept annoying them until they covered their skin with a cloth " We need to kill the bugs flying around . " ' They aren't as strong as that old butler so they should be easy to kill right ? '
He sent mosquitos and made them fly through the cloth " Insects that are stuck with you will be annoying . " the mosquitoes dived through the cloth-like needles and pricked their skin " Aaah " they all took off the cloth letting flies annoy them .
" Mosquitoes and flies they must be from the insect clan . " they all tried to shoo the flies but there were too many now that Leech sent more .
" You look so annoyed , right ? Come on at least try to run and separate with the group . " he blinded them by sending more annoying bugs forcing them to close their eyes so he ran to the group and break the window pushing a cabinet out .
Leech then went downstairs " I need to kill them one by one they are on the third floor so I could probably use gravity to impale them sooo " he stared at the thorned vine .
" I'll set up a trap . " he threw the vines at the broken furniture spitting poison at it and commanded the bugs to annoy one person out of the group .
Slowly all of the residents were killed by falling as Leech stacked more thorny vines and poison on top of each corpse . Some of the children watched behind the scene frightened by the other said human .
" They look like that girl when she got mad . " Leech went into the kitchen and took oil and spices . He threw oil and spices at the piled-up corpse and then threw fire to let it burn .
" Taste good " he crunched the bones of the servants and chewed their meat filling his hunger . He sensed eyes staring at him " Hey can you tell me is there any place filled with bugs ? " the teenagers of the group were terrified of Leech and pointed down .
Leech looked down and felt the life of insects clumped together , so he took their bodies ' This is a lot of poison that they made . ' he organized the insects and examined their poison .
' This poison is very strong I think I can make it on my insects . ' Leech gathered his insects and left one to eavesdrop on the captured's conversation .
" Who is that ? " a curious teenager asked the guy beside her " He must be the calamity swarm " " The what !? " " He is the calamity swarm , he would go to ghost towns and summon a portal to another world spewing out monsters on the town destroying every building and then he devours every single monster released . "
" Is he going to eat us ? " the children who just heard the story asked " So far we never heard him eating anyone after all there were survivors registered at the federation . " hearing this a child was filled with joy .
" Um, mister calamity can you take us home ? " Leech on the other hand " Later " Leech continued to chew on the meat . Two teenagers immediately dragged the child back in fear of offending Leech " Also my name is Leech as in the bloodsucker insect "
Kicked the vines he didn't like and stared at the captured group " Dig this place and don't fall ' I don't like my insects dead ' " Leech flew into the house and laid down on a soft bed ' I can stay here eating the insects . The insects they bred are full of nutrients and are very fertile . '
He raised his hands and created a gust of dark air opening a portal to a desolate crater ' I remember this place was called the abyss by some people . Though they couldn't expect me to be the reason because I was very hungry and ate all the life in their slowly while leaving a ton of poison destroying it . '
After finding that his poison pot hasn't made many poison insects even after a few years of spewing poison he concocted using his insects . He closed the portal and compressed it to an insect with spatial attribute fangs .
He took control of the insect , controlling so many insects was very hard cause you needed to have a high tolerance to all sorts of pain and concentration . But Leech had a childhood where he had to feel pain every moment whether he was sleeping or not and there was always someone to annoy him .
Leech let the insects rest on the furniture and went out to find the work half done so he turned to a swarm and dived down . He opened every jar letting the insects pour into his swarm ' Alright time to do my timely cleanup . '
Leech flew out of the residence and landed beside an empty area and scouted the area to kill every living being and made sure the captured doesn't peek at what he is planning . Leech gathered the swarm and committed suicide on all the life he took into his swarm .
He felt dead and tired but he remained in control and turned into an intangible monster of unknown shape , state , number and appearance devouring the corpses . He examined the poison and mixed them leaving lady luck to decide whether he would receive a poison recipe or a medicine recipe .
The concoction spilled out of the intangible and fell onto the floor . Fertility spread through the land " So this time it's a fertilizer I think I'll give this recipe away . "
He recreated a bug with the strongest DNA he could form and used it as his main body ' I love this feeling the most . Like a load of pressure was taken out of my body . ' flying around to the poison jar area that was excavated he dives down to find some eggs to forcefully hatch .
He doesn't like to use big monsters because they are too hard to use compared to small insects that climbed walls and ceilings and can fly through a short height . He found eggs using his ability and took possession of their bodies .
He reformed his swarm easily by forcing the limits of the bugs to the highest ' Now to remake my body . ' the swarm gathered at one point to reform the body of Leech . He examined his condition feeling great , so he left the place again and flew up to the hall beside the bedroom .
" The genes of the girl are similar to that dragon I devoured . " he walked to an office and reads a logbook of the family . He reads it quickly and confirms the social standing of the family .
The dragon he devoured was from this family and he was also very powerful so his death led to the downfall of the family and all the servants left , with only a few loyal low blood dragons to stay and served them .
' Of course, this house is already gone because I ate all of them . ' Leech continues to find more logbooks learning about their pointless history of them . Since he killed the only strong dragon of this weak family their standing won't affect the hierarchy or attract attention .
' But they still reported an existence that devoured the whole body of a dragon leaving nothing even the ground they stood on . ' Leech frowned reading this detail it means that his existence is known to a large group of dragons .
" So what I can still kill all of you in a very painful way . " out of his hand a bug separated from him , he modified its genes and made it lay as many eggs as possible . A fiery parasite that consumes dragon's blood that reaches a high temperature , high density of toxins and medicine .
" The toxins aren't too hard to deal with , the problem would be the high temperature their body has . " Leech took some soup and boiled it leaving the fiery parasite to drink . The teenagers saw this and were afraid .
" They won't eat you because your blood isn't very warm , it's very interested in blood with dense mana and very warm food of 200 celsius and can resist 300 celsius increasing . "
The teenagers were even more terrified to find an insect with so much heat resistance .
Leech left the kitchen letting the fiery parasite lay as many eggs as the soup allows ' Fire check now for ice . ' Leech walked to the cage of bugs taking control and inviting their bodies to be a part of his swarm .
' Insects are full of protein ' Leech came and found the place he felt cold air coming from . Since hot-blooded dragons are always at a high body temperature they would also feel too warm . Just like how weaker species don't like the sun too much .
He made a cold worm and left it there at the same time he made another bug with the improved genes of the bugs used as food full of proteins ' I'll change their diets '
He let the bugs eat the plants and finally gathered the captured " Okay go home " a portal appeared and flew to the group sending them to the lush forest Leech came from .
" Okay , they said something about the insect clan are they big or small ? " Leech went to a library to learn about the world he arrived " This world is linked to the green planet their goal is to use the new planet to strengthen their armies and there are deities that watch the world and worshipped . "
This world was dominated by powerful faction dragons and a livestock faction . Insect faction is made of countless insects big or small they are very versatile because of their varieties of toxins , medicine and poison .
" Sounds tempting " Leech looked into more of the species and left the library the two new insects were released to do some reconnaissance and cause plagues ' This world is unlike the green planet there are large bodies of water inhabited by aquatic dragons . '
Leech made some worms and let them travel to the ground laying eggs on the way ' Since it's just water I have no problem with letting them off after giving them high-temperature resistance . '
Having not much to do Leech reads more books inside " This stuff is boring don't they have a book on how to utilize their bloodlines ? " Leech felt something from the insects he let out to scout the mansion .
He walked to the office he feels his insect at the wall " Must be a secret entrance " he let more insects in and opened the entrance to find a shelf with a note .
He reads the note and smiles ' To think the dragon I killed obtained the knowledge and memories of his ancestors by using a fraction of DNA that was very old . Hmm I can do the same after all it's like sharing senses with different guys but I need to keep hopping from one living thing to another . '
Leech found the powerful method of DNA recall he can't apply it to the insects he created but he could use it on the insects he took control of . So he selected an insect and chose a random set of genes . He felt his senses lower to the insect then he was submerged in watching the life go back .
He saw the mother of the insect and their mother then their mother and so on he kept going deeper into the ancestral memories . He saw war , peace , a time of sharpening their fangs then he delved deeper and saw gods creating life on this planet he jumped to the god's palms and went deeper into time and saw their war .
He finally reaches a god but the god wasn't alive so he couldn't jump to it and with nothing alive he returned . He opened his eyes and saw that the ice he left was still cold ' I learned something interesting . '
The world was an entertainment zone for the gods but before that they had a war and they all lose no one was a winner . But Leech was even more interested in the gods he could jump to them as a terminal to see deeper in time .
' That means I can obtain a god's heredity and use them on my swarm . ' he thinks of how humans were able to achieve genetic engineering but to him, this technology was something he can do all the time and even change just one base of the sequence .
' But for them to use this place as an entertainment world this must mean this planet is connected to many other planets . ' Leech imagined thinking after he saw the god of space creating portals to other planets occasionally .
' For now , I need to keep my thoughts to myself as long as my mind is strong those gods won't be able to hear my thoughts . ' Leech expanded his swarm as the insects he released encountered new ones .
Leech read more about the dragon faction learning about their abilities " To give their bloodline by bathing the inheritor with their blood ? " Leech flipped the page uninterested in their blood " A dragon has a great lifespan our blood can be used to create an elixir of life for those with a lower lifespan "
' Isn't this like using melatonin to take sleeping pills ? ' Leech continued and found something " a dragon's inheritance can be imprinted on the blood as long as the offspring gets strong enough they can obtain the inheritance of the ancestors " ' Think I did that and found out about the god's thanks to it and having such a powerful hive type mind is quietly great . '
Leech read the rest of it and only found formulas on how dragon blood can be used on " Still not as good as the poison and medicine made from insect fluids . " he shut the book and found out how the world works .
' There is always war in this world no matter what species the dragons are and the best I can do right now is to fight as a hidden party after all this hidden party is only one person with countless bodies controlling and increasing . '
Leech created an insect and made them the highest and most powerful kind of spider he knows ' The best way is to increase my mind's ability . '
The spiders crawled to a tree ' And the best way is to invade other species . ' Leech let the spiders weave out its veins around the tree ' This kind of look could make it into a supernatural horror film . '
He used the webs as a medium and surrounded the tree with his mental abilities and reached the tree . As he goes deeper into the tree the surrounding cells were taken control by Leech he went cell to cell recording the combination of genes .
" How do you say this , it feels really strange because of the seemingly endless arranged structures of cells . " he made some changes on the tree . Its roots entangled other tree roots ' First I need a suitable nutrient provider and then a tree that will only grow eggs in the place of fruits . '
Then the tree grew larger and branches spread under the leaves of other trees . The branches poked out thorns and would kill wildlife on their path " The branches will continue to spread as long as I don't stop doing it . "
Leech watched the branches spread at a visible and slow speed " I'll spread it in the meantime , how are the bugs I sent out doing ? Did they get any dragons ? " he took the senses of a fire parasite and found it laying a nest inside a dragons stomach .
" Good , at least a few got into some but the rest are either dead or still flying around . " he looked around the residence and felt bored ' I pretty much already got everything here so I'll go somewhere else . ' he dispersed his swarm feeling the attention of the gods who want entertainment .
'Let's see how you will try to find me . ' Leech's scope spread and he searched for a place to spawn his main body . His swarm has spread considerably as the tree created a circle and the swarms of insects flooded in many directions that led to the living grounds of surrounding dragons .
' How about this spot ' Leech made the insects around converging them to make his body " This place is good those gods will take a while before they could find me . "
' It was only called insect faction for fun and was just a fancier name than livestock . ' Leech skipped his way and felt a little cold . A cold beam shot at him then his senses became quick .
" Leech doesn't rely too much on accumulated power " he remembered his childhood and the memory continued " Why " a laugh was heard in his memories " Because if you do ... you'll look stupid af "
' Argh screw it ' Leech turned into a swarm with some distance between each insect . The beam entered the center and Leech controlled the whole swarm and redirected a portion of the beam sending it to the insects behind the front . The process was repeated very quickly spreading the beam behind him minimizing its damage by spreading it .
' Good I still remember my skills . ' Leech turned back " You insect tribe since when we're you able to kill one of our dragons ? You used to be our food . " " A lot of talk for a dead dragon . " " What are you ta ugh blegh " the dragon spat out its blood and fell " Dang I need to report "
Leech immediately attacked it mentally before it could report anything ' They could make reports in the form of prayers to their gods . ' " I'll make use of the dragon's genes " his hand grew scales and his palm opened up a mouth with teeth then fire spewed out of his hand roasting the dragon .
" I better finish this quick . " Leech tore out its scales along with its meat-eating it like sliced watermelon . He finished his meal with his swarm and dispersed ' I'll keep running to annoy those gods . ' he took the insects inside a dragon and entered it taking over its mind through the insects inside .
He kept devouring dragons after they shot him to avoid hearing those words ' Ugh I hate that ' he killed dragons leaving a swarm to devour them " Again " his body dispersed and at another location , he reformed it .
He went on a killing spree waiting for the dragon to shoot him and act in self-defense " Again " he continued until half an hour passed " gasp pant that was good " he felt tired laying in a cave hidden by leaves .
Leech laid down and felt the gods gazing at the corpse through the insects eating them .
' Now let's see where the god of dragons lives ? '
