The insects around the corpse were burned down by flames shot out by a guy who smirks " This is the first mission God has given me I can go brag it to my family . " Leech looked at the boy's mana and licked his lips " Another tasty treat " feeling as if the gods were no longer .
He prepared himself watching the humanoid gain scales and wings " Hello bastard " the guy turned to see Leech in his human form standing on a rock " Time to die " Leech drop down dodging the blue flames while pointing up a long thorn of his body capturing some fire .
" How will it feel to burn internally ? " Leech took the flaming thorn that he greased with oil and stabbed it to the heart " You f***er " Leech injected some chemical fluids he made after copying the genes of the dragon " Shut up and die "
A burning claw waved to Leech's face in an attempt to kill him " Ahh " the dragon watched in horror seeing part of Leech's head scraped off and died horribly " That hurts " Leech gathered some of the insects to repair his head as he felt a little nauseous .
The chemicals in his body were reacting to the heat the dragon had on his claws when he strikes him " Mmh insects still taste good " Leech took a handful of dead insects and crunched them while letting a swarm consume the dragon .
" uh oh " Leech dispersed into a swarm as a god watched the location and reformed into an underground lair " There were some dragons who dug underground . " Leech looked at the holes and walked in knowing he can't get anywhere else . The holes weren't too small because the dragons are too big but the walls are very hard .
Leech walked in and found another lair and saw humanoids with scales like the guy he saw a while ago " Hmm they are hard " Leech gathered his swarm and let it rain acid in the lair . Causing the dragons to run in different directions " Time to kill " Leech made some insects cover holes as the dragons tried to escape .
Leech jumps to the covered hole and thrust forward as a dragon jumps out of the pile of worms and gets impaled by Leech " Hmm " he felt something coming from behind and dispersed to another location above ground ' Nearly died to that ice dragon . ' Leech transformed his genes and turned them into fire insects and flew around to find the entrance to seal them .
' This is a much faster way to kill them all ' Leech turned all the insects into dragon insects and breathed flames causing a mass death due to suffocation . He was fine thanks to having a network of insects breathing fresh air . He still felt a dragon so he went to see how it survived .
" What the hell is that ? " the humanoid dragon somehow has a suit that supplied it with air ' I gotta interrogate them . ' Leech merged himself behind the dragon and gave it a sense of suppression " Here is how this is going to go . Who are you ? " having felt suppression the dragon responded in fear .
" I won't tell you believer " Leech tilted his head wondering " I don't believe in any god but what about you ? " ' So this person is not under the dragon god ? ' Leech thought wondering why " Tell me where did you get this kind of suit ? " Leech had been very suspicious of this dragon because most of the dragons aren't like it .
The mana it has is very weak and it doesn't seem to be very healthy , unlike the others . Leech made an elixir using the poison from his insect following the formula from the previous episode and injected it into the dragon " This is to show my good will so tell me who you are and I will give you more of the elixir . "
The dragon felt the effects of the elixir and looked at Leech " Do you have more of these ? " the dragon sounded slightly desperate " I'll give you the same amount if you invite me to your group " the humanoid pressed a button sending a call . Leech didn't bother to listen as he didn't feel malice and followed the humanoid dragon as they entered deeper .
" So how did you build this suit " feeling no greed from Leech Drake took the chance to introduce himself " Well my name is " " Drake " he looked at Leech as if he read his mind " Name tag on your chest or something ? " Drake touched his chest to remember the fact .
" Oh ah ... forgive me " ' I could read your mind though ' ' That would be dangerous if he could read others' minds' ' Won't be if they don't know ' " So answer my question please " Leech continued their chat " We weaker dragons rely on our brains because we only got that we build a civilization the gods rejected us so we hid underground . "
" I see " Leech look at the kind of dragon it was ' A mix-breed dragon he has a lot of bloodlines flowing so his mana is impure thanks to the mixture of bloodlines ' " So you were rejected because of the impure bloodline " he felt stressed and anxious hearing the topic about bloodline " Yes we were also rejected because of our talents . " ' Ugh not this again ' " Are we there yet ? "
" Yes , can you still make those ? " Leech punch a hole in the walls and secreted the tonic " Yes " they arrived at a gate " Who is that visitor with you ? " Leech raised his hands " Wait he is not hostile to us " guns were still pointed at Leech " Can you prove it ? " Drake raised the bag of tonic Leech made " He gave me this tonic made of a mixture of ... "
" Chemicals extracted from insects " Leech finished his words and the figures looked at Drake who nodded " Are you a believer of the dragon god ? " " Didn't even know that fool till you mentioned them " the gates opened as Drake escorts Leech inside " So how do I give this thing to you and get a place to stay ? "
Drake took off his helmet revealing a human face with a higher percentage of features of a dragon " I will bring you to a registration where we can get you an ID the new dragons are always led there to get one if they come in . " Leech followed Drake inside " Oh Drake you got us a new ... dragon ? " the humanoid dragon looked at Leech not finding him to have any features of a dragon .
Leech sighed and couldn't care less if he was found to be an insect swarm " I'm not a dragon " the receptionist took a glance at Leech " Then what are you we are only open to our kind . " Leech grumbled and Drake pulled Leech back as he was going to leave " Wait wait wait he can make this elixir which only this amount could make a field enough to feed us for the whole day . "
She took a look at the basketball-sized vial Leech made after entering the city " I can prove it " Drake felt hesitant as Leech only made a little deal with him and that was it " I need a seed " " one credit " " Ow come on " " Rules are rules Drake " he bought seed and went to an empty lot outside the shabby wooden building .
" Okay here goes " Drake dropped all of the elixir and the seed sprouted into a whole tree bearing fruits . The surrounding citizens looked at the giant tree with surprise " So can I stay ? " Leech secreted a pot of the tonic .
" Yes please quickly get him an ID " the receptionist immediately snaps a picture and made a card for him " We will give you ten thousand credits for that pot " Leech gave her a nod " now a house "
She froze and Leech felt her change of emotions " Is there no place to rent ? " she struggles to say anything " Yes " Leech groans not having a place to sleep and missing the mansion he took over " Okay then "
Leech went to the city walls and showed his identity card . He sat on the sturdy wall's edge and looked at the empty and boring view ' It's empty ' the guards looked at his dangerous ways and feared he might fall off .
Leech felt sad seeing the dark underground only lighted by some lights ' God this place is so empty ' Leech looked around and saw some soldiers ' Women and children are hardly in the military while only able men are forced to support the city to support their family . '
Leech watched from his insects to see families hungry no matter what their social class was ' At least they care for each other ... that's the only light they got ... hopefully it stays lit . ' Leech watches the world above admiring the view .
He feels vibrations and raises his guard " So they are planning to attack now " Leech went down and was very much ready to disperse into a swarm until ' Leech stop relying on your powers ' his veins popped as he got angry .
" Ugh fine , it's not that hard anyway " he gritted his teeth and took a stance as he felt dragons crawling to the cave hole " Come on bastards " his mood became domineering as his eyes were filled with rage .
The dragons see the wall and blasted their breaths at it so Leech circled his hands very quickly to form a vortex . The breaths were attracted by Leech as he guided them to his hands forming a cone that sucked the numerous elemental breaths .
" Good thing I know a lot about chaos " Leech blocks all the breaths and looks at them panting for air " Really " Leech opens a mouth on his palm and swallows the breath he compressed " Probably should teach this god a lesson . "
Leech let his parasites latch on the dragons' body and kept the connection between the dragon god and the dragons together " No escaping for you " the energy he ate went back to his palm .
A mouth with sharp teeth and venom spilling out of the bones opened from his palm and a fiery fire came to his arm " I'll open a wound and pour the salt later " the flames shot out and burned the dragons down .
...
" Argh, that bastard " the dragon god pressed his head as the pain hit him " How did he know to do that ? " he was very frustrated at the fact a "mere" mortal had given him the feeling of pain " How did he do it ? Why is he with those inferiors ? "
The god gazed through the eyes of his believers and couldn't find the ones he was linked to " He took them all out in one fell swoop ... This guy is should be good and better than those weaklings I can make him my subordinate and I can keep my territory away from those bastards . "
He went to select his apostles Helfire and Frost " My apostles bring me this child " his voice was heard in the ears of the two as they received a mental image of Leech " Yes my lord " the two dragons turned into humanoids and took flight .
' Boring that all you can think of ? ' Leech watched through his insects to hear the god talking to his loyal believers ' Good thing my precautions didn't go to waste . ' the bug that was latching on to their brains took note of the message they got through soul connection .
' Maybe a little show-off is better ' Leech disperses and reforms above ground leaving the charred dragon corpses under without a swarm to eat ' They have good tech a temporary suffocation won't deal them too much damage except a few minutes of unconsciousness . '
Leech looked up at the sky emitting his threat to any dragons who are around triggering their sense of danger ' They probably forced those inferiors to build houses for them . ' Leech looked through his other eyes to see a forest and a few mansions .
" They probably kidnapped some civilized outsiders to do and teach them some jobs . " Leech joked and laughed about it feeling the presence of the two dragons " There he is " Leech got up and waved his hands to guide the frost around preventing it from freezing the surroundings .
" Oh no you found me now try to get me " he smiled and swung the cold breath he seized from Frost to Helfire " Ack this kid " he was put down by Frost as he wanted to blast Leech " Stop the lord wants him alive not dead fool " Leech opened his palm as the ends of his fingers shot webs aiming at Frost .
" I agree the same applies to you two " the strings were cut so he shot a little fire to the ends spreading the flames through the poisonous fibers spreading the dark flames and color-changing flames to weaken Frost .
Leech looked at Hellfire as he frees himself of the cold that numbed his body " So you hate cold huh ? " Leech opened another mouth at the other palm " Then dealing with both of you shouldn't be too much of a problem . "
Fire shot to Frost and a chilling wind blew to Hellfire " Ugh I am fighting using two opposing elements " he said in a serious tone as he saw the too trying to move " I should make the blast small and dense " the blast shrank as his arms became cold and hot at the same time .
' Hold it in , pain is a great frenemy ' Leech burned and blew away the flesh around the mouth keeping up the regeneration and his swarm " Hey I don't have to stay here " Leech completes his transformation on his flesh as the skin turn white and the other turned black .
" Good now for some turrets " he separates his arm and creates a stand to hold them up with a position " Now to your little master " Leech messed his genes quickly and shouts " Come here for my blessing " his voice echoed through the land as if it was the god's voice .
Leech immediately runs so did the dragons as the surrounding islands' heard this thinking it was god and followed the location ' Welp a lot of dragons would cause much chaos but this is not as much as the world could have . '
Leech felt that his swarm has laid ground on a visibly spherical section of the planet " Hmm I think this is estimated as a 50 degree , 45 degrees and 50 with some estimation to the sphere around this planet . "
If three circles represented the dimensions then the angles of it would be the side lengths of an arc it covers " Math is fun only if applied to the real-life situation " Leech played with a rock and throws it away .
" Though one big rock plus one small rock is two different rocks . But one droplet plus another droplet is gonna be one bigger droplet . " Leech laughs at his use of math and humor " So while that the god is trying to "bless" his followers I'm gonna keep lying to his followers and he will have to follow . "
Leech snickers thinking of the god becoming busier " Hmm though he probably will pretend to give blessings for now he will give them a believable blessing . "
He walks away from his distraction as the swarm spread his influence when he was blocked by flames and the dragon above look down at the spreading swarm ' What an annoying bastard ' Leech changed the genes and let his insect fly through the flames as the swarm spreads .
" Quick those pesky insects are spreading " ' Looks like they are getting attention ' Leech looked up and wanted to use a surefire way to kill them but then he thought ' No wait he made things harder ... and it looked like real fun '
Leech smiled and faced the dragons and formed his body and revealed himself " There he is " they surrounded and blew fire at Leech who danced as he took stances to control the flames by force of his hands redirecting them to a sphere surrounding him .
The dragons took the time to catch their breath " My turn " the sphere of fire was sucked into his hand as he compressed the gaseous flames into a tiny solid sphere .
Leech grabbed the sphere to swallow it into his arms as it turned from red to blue " I'll give you a taste of the Hammurabi's code " Leech opened his hand and blew fire out burning high as he shot at the dragons cooking their flesh and dropping their corpses on the ground .
" They're dead ... do the dragons go to the death god or the dragon god after death ? ... cause according to history the death god and the dragon god had a deal to keep the souls of their powerful believers "
' Though the dragons are gonna be so disappointed when they hear that only the strong are truly protected by the dragon god ' Leech smiles and looked at his hand " Hmm I should chop this off "
Leech threw his arm that still has some blue flames inside " I wish I can fight them like this " Leech laid back feeling like a big amount of stress was released from his body and felt some dragons surrounding him.
He smiled and licked his lips . The dragons blew their breaths at him as mixes of gas and fire blew at him creating numerous colored flames . Leech bent the trajectory and controlled the flames to his will " This will be fun "
...
" The elixir is so useful we can already feed thousands with just a few bags " Maug the city official praised Leech for his ability to make the elixir " Phira you did a good job , you too Drake " the dragons in their human form looked at the big space where a lot of trees were planted .
' What exactly was he to make something like this ? ' " Thank you sir " Drake bowed to show his respect and Maug refused to say " Oh I would be the one who should be thanking you for encountering him " Phira the receptionist looked at the empty container .
" Sir what should we do I don't think he wants or can get anything from us " Maug stopped celebrating and was reminded of long-term planning for sustenance " What can we do to convince him to stay and provide then ? " Drake couldn't think of anything as Leech was only curious about his suit in the beginning .
" Were done for again " Maug looked at the tree " Okay we have a week or two until this runs out before we end up eating mud pies " Phira went back to her desk and continued her paperwork .
...
Flows of blood coming from a pile of dragons were being sucked by Leech's swarm " I can't believe they just throw their mix-breed eggs ... And they still mate for fun ... nothing like abortion for these dragons huh ? " a portal opened he walked to it to see the pit full of dragon eggs .
He could hear squeaky roars " Must be some dragons that just hatched " Leech looked at the pile and breathe " Okay , for now , I'll try it again " Leech attempted to invite the eggshell of the dragons into his hive . But such an idea would be hard because the thing he is inviting is a non-living thing so naturally , he can't bring it to his swarm .
" Agh that didn't work I can't even work with it using the mind " Leech looked at the young dragons " This won't hurt you one bit " he messed with their minds to shut off the motor and sensory neurons and mutated their genes to make them stronger and use them as lab rats " Done now hold still " Leech spawned a great volume of his swarm as he was impatient and seized the entire pile .
He clapped his hands to get rid of some dried-up blood and looked at the eggs he organized " Well I could send them to that orphanage and give that orphanage some funds " Leech looked at the weak and hungry dragons " They'd die if they enter my swarm " a swarm bought him some fruits " What was this called again ? "Dragon" fruit ? "
Leech joked and threw the food to the hatched dragons and sat down " Okay let's do this " Leech started to modify the genes of each egg and gave them unique traits one by one for experimentation " That was fun now to send them to the orphanage "
Leech opened a portal and saw the city with some trees blooming out " Drake ? " the gates guards looked at Leech and the swarm that carried the hatched dragons and the eggs " Who are you ? "
Drake who was just preparing a team for an expedition looked at Leech " You're back ? " Leech sighed with annoyance and lowered the eggs and dragon " Yes and take care of these guys " " These guys ? " Drake pointed at the hatched dragons and eggs .
" Here take these " Leech opened a portal and took some insects out of his insect crater " Right I need a place to put them " Leech looked at the troops and raised an eyebrow " Come on I need something to pour this liquid "
Drake looked at the portal and at Leech's hand " uh okay " he went inside and found Maug and Phira " Sir the man who gave us the elixir is here he wants us to take care of ??? some eggs and dragons ? "
" And ? " Phira peeked at the gates to see Leech in his same appearance while Maug and Drake did the talking " He also offered the elixir in exchange for taking care of them " a pause and silence came .
" What are we doing get him what he wants only get as little as possible we might need very little since he doesn't seem generous " Drake hurriedly came out with a pot half the size as the one Leech used .
" Here it is " Leech looked at the pot and then at Drake with disappointment " Come on Drake I have a whole crater of that elixir to throw out " the crater Leech was using had been filled up thanks to him having too much fun trying to wear himself out so he linked to the crater's swarm which caused a lot of mixes of poison creating several poison and tonics .
' Though the poison was used to make more poisons and I had to rearrange the insects again . But the poison is super acidic they're still widening the crater on their side ' Leech took a short glance at the crater with a lot of insects and a lot of colored liquid lakes .
" Also I need more than one pot cause I have to categorize each one or else one of you are gonna mutate so please learn about each elixir before you decided to dose big amounts on ourselves just like that giant tree over there "
Leech crossed his arms looking at the tree that had a ridiculous amount and size of fruits " You're quite lucky I thought it through and avoided giving you guys ... a tonic that is extremely pure " Drake's dumb brass didn't understand medicine so he doesn't understand how pure medicine could kill .
" Think about it , if water is extremely pure that it only became H2O it can kill you by completing the chemical structure using the minerals in your body that is keeping you alive " Drake looked at Leech a little frightened thinking how poisonous water can be .
" So please bring as much as you can and if that conversation made you forget I need as much as possible cause I wanna empty my stock " ' I hate dumping out the lakes , maybe I should mix them all up when I got the time ? '
Leech drop the tonic into the pot Drake gave him starting with the little one also a very dangerous one and then proceeded with Drake watching him since some guards are afraid of Leech because of the portal and the swarm that has yet to disperse .
" Uhm you know my name so can you tell me yours ? " " Leech as in a bloodsucker insect " " Okay Leech ... what is that !? " Drake pointed at the swarm behind him " Oh right I forgot about this ... they are a swarm of insects what in the world does it look like to you ? "
" Uhm something we don't see very much and a few of our scouts had seen them kill dragons " " Small but deadly , strong yet mindless " Leech continued to fill a pot and feel Phira trying to touch one of them .
" STOP !!! " " sorry .. sorry ... sorry " " Phira what are you doing here ? " Phira looked at Drake and stood up " Mr. Drake I was just very curious about how he makes those eggs look like that and I just so happened to see the eggs changing while they are on this swarm "
" First off Lady dragon , Drop the manners and please I don't like respect from someone weaker " Drake wanted to peek at Leech's hand but saw a hole on it dropping the tonic " And second do not even think of touching those bugs I'm not saying they are not yours to study but I'm saying that you will die "
" Oh don't worry we may be mixed breeds but because of that some of us have tonics thanks to the mixed bloodlines we can't force them though they have to do it when they want to . I'm also one of the dragons who are capable of resisting poison " Leech frowned at her .
"I didn't mean you're gonna get poisoned if you get stung . I meant if you touch them there is a chance for you to get injected with a fluid that contains a DNA which will mess with your body and the pain of changing the cells hurts very much more than the feeling of a thousand thorns "
" But you did it on the dragons like the hatched ones ? " " I redirected the pain to myself since it would also be dangerous for them . And if I don't know what I was doing they'd die just like what was nearly going to happen to you . "
Phira and Drake moved a few steps away from the swarm " Okay anything you want to ask about these chemicals I believe you have your lab rats " " Yes so I've heard about hive minds ... are you one of them ? "
" Yes " Phira's eyes sparkled as Drake was a little frightened due to ancestral fear " Relax I'm not gonna kill you or control you " " Oh thank goodness " " It's unethical and my swarm is made of mindless insects that follow their instincts "
" So are you the only hivemind ? " " No okay there are a lot of hiveminds out their Phira . Some might even do this business for weird things blergh " Leech stuck his touch out in disgust of the hiveminds he met .
" Uhm Leech can you tell us about those hiveminds you met ? " Drake was very confused and needed to know what kind of power or kind Leech is " Well there are some hiveminds that don't like controlling other species so they use the captured ones as an incubator or a mother with very brutal mating or birthing process that will kill them . "
" That is disgusting " Phira wished she could have a pot to puke but there was a lot of valuable stuff in the pots " As if that's what they do dragon . It's just like me who would use the corpse to incubate the eggs ... Also by the way I'm only not killing you because you guys are more sensitive to your children . "
" What does that mean ? " Drake asked since he had also taken part in caring for the orphanage " Well some children out there are trying to impress but yours are taught to think for themselves and I like that part of you them which is why I say this is the last pot I'm filling up I don't want to get overworked "
" Wait continue the hivemind part " Phira had to keep asking because of her curiosity and lack of experience " Okay , there are hiveminds that take over the minds of people with little things like insects "
Drake looked at Leech with a doubtful expression suspecting him " Which I wouldn't do I can recreate three of your body with this swarm " Leech got a slightly angry face from him " I'm just saying I won't do it cause you're weak "
" That hurts Leech " " Seriously I've seen people getting oversensitive on the fact they are weak and telling me it hurts their self-esteem . You know sometimes you can't even trust yourself and have to trust others when you don't know a thing "
Drake and Phira didn't know much , while they may be adults they haven't traveled the world thanks to running away from the dragons who bullied the weak and respected the strong " Yeah we get that I mean those dragons threw us into a pit and we would gather together underground . "
" Wait wait wait stop right there "a pit" ? Are you saying there are more of those abortion zones ? " Phira and Drake looked weirdly at Leech and nodded " Oh my god ... Okay that was just something people in some worlds say stuff so I am not religious , have faith or anything that about being a sycophant to a god "
" I'll be right back cause I have to find these pits ... Also is there anything you read about the dragon god Phira ? " " Yes " " Good now this is gonna sting a little but it is very fine and harmless so please relax . "
Leech extended his mind and looked through Phira's memories by using her subconscious mind to filter what she knows about the dragon god " Okay thanks " Drake looked at Phira who had a slight and subsiding headache .
" What was that ? " " I used your mind to find information of the dragon god so I know everything about the dragon god as long as you know about it " Drake spooked and hugged himself " I'm not going to look through yours Drake . "
Leech looked at the empty ground in front of the gates and then at the two dragons " I'll be going expect more babies to take care of . " " Wait " Drake shouted before Leech could leave " Why are you saving them and letting us take care of them ? "
He suddenly remembered a scary older sister of his own " Leech don't be mad at him he just wants to play " " Ugh fine " " Yes but do me a favor " Leech turned his head to his sister and sees her angry face .
" If you abandon a child because you were unreasonable ... I'll invite him to come and get you " Leech shivers in fear " Trauma "
Leech secreted a gas as it engulfs him and disappeared .
