The Collapsed Ecosystem Part II

“Can it affect Halves?”

Dia asked immediately. The thought of this parasite being able to control Halves was even more concerning.

“No, it can’t,” White Wolf interjected, drawing everyone’s attention.

“Yesterday, after you all logged off, I had the same suspicion. So, I went into the forest with Dani to investigate and conducted a few experiments on this parasite. One thing is clear—it won’t attach to Halves. It seems to target monsters exclusively. Also, what Dani said is true: once this parasite attaches itself, the host is as good as dead. Even if you remove the parasite, the monster will die immediately.”

Just hearing this made it clear how dire the situation was. If this issue was left unchecked, the entire ecosystem would collapse. The region would be reduced to nothing but wandering corpses, and nature itself would be destroyed in the blink of an eye.
