Once Human, Now a Parasite

Chapter 214

Burning flames surroundings its sharp edges, Makaze cut through the back of the old man’s back and accurately hit his Dantian, immediately destroying it . The Natural Lightning that was added traveled through the Meridians, severely injuring them and paralyzing the body of the Spatial Master .

To achieve this, Arthur spared no effort, from using [Transcendence] to [Griffin’s Bloody Switch] . It only took one precise and fast hit, which was successful . Dark Magic was fully unleashed from the blade’s edges and engulfed the Spatial Master, further limiting his movements and weakening him . The old man’s figure was engulfed in black flames with a blade penetrating him from the back and a young man coldly staring at him .

Arthur didn’t even wait for a reaction from the old man, he let go of Makaze and used the hidden chains to quickly wrap them around the enemy’s neck then pulled him back downwards, crashing them both on the ground .

With his Dantian destroyed and Meridians injured, the old man may not be dead yet but he is pretty much crippled, nonetheless, Arthur wasn’t willing to be overconfident despite all the damage he had done to his foe .

The old man, who was caught by complete surprise, had a red face, both from suffocation, extreme shame, and anger . He was immobilized before any chance of retaliation, now that he is looking at the culprit, he was shocked because it was none other than a junior that he just spared a simple glance earlier . He checked all the juniors but since most of them were weak, he wasn’t wary of them .

Arthur knew that there is no way the three Gods accompanying Kai Min would not know what had happened here . Although the kid was weak, there must be something that alarmed, even if there is nothing and he is just worrying, he was still going to proceed with the plans .

"Bring that kid along . . . and don’t kill him . "

Arthur ordered the youth then looked at the entrance of the room with a smile .

"As thou wish . "

The red-haired youth flashed with a red light then was enveloped by a thick a red smoke with vanished in a few seconds . What replaced the youth was a gigantic golem and a floating book next to it . The book went straight to Arthur and glued itself to his waist, as for the golem, it grabbed the nailed Kai Min and stood next to Arthur .

"Why don’t you come out, it’s useless to try to hide your presence from me . "

Arthur looked at the entrance whilst saying that . His map could never be wrong and he had long since sensed Cold Sword’s presence lurking in the entrance . She took some time to get out of that illusion but eventually, with the help of brute force, she escaped . The reason Arthur wasn’t worried about her is due to her weak strength, they were in different leagues despite her being a genius and a good sword user .

Several seconds of silence passed before a shadow appeared from the entrance, with a sword on her back and a somewhat haggard look due to the effects of illusion, Cold Sword finally showed herself without hiding her thick intent but there was some fear and surprised lingering in her eyes, it’s as if she was hesitating on whether to act or not .

"Arghhh w . . . . why did you attack me *cough* *cough* w-we have no g- . . *cough* grudges!"

The old man mustered his strength those words with blood gushing out of the deep wound inflicted by Makaze, which already went back to its sheath . He unceasingly coughed blood as Dark Flames never stopped burning him, its effect was not burning the target but consuming it, meaning weakening it and slowly overpowering the target’s body . It matched perfectly with Arthur’s racial abilities .

Currently, he can’t possess the God without using forceful means, but he can kill him, and he most certainly will but not before obtaining a few things .

Before answering the old man, Arthur did several seals on the air, mimicking what Zodiak said in the notes . Ten seconds later, an ominous looking talisman was conjured out of pure Dark Mana, it was over ten centimeters and had a skull face similar to the one on Zodiak’s robe .

Arthur slapped the talisman on the old man’s body then looked back at Cold Sword, who came to stop only a few meters away from him . She looked cautiously at the motionless Golem, which was blocking her path to Arthur, then she glanced at the dark book on the man’s waist before looking at the seemingly ordinary young man who transformed into a lightning man, she felt uncomfortable just by looking at him .

The Ethereal state can be used with Dark Power and it will certainly make it stronger but Arthur felt his control over it is not as smooth as without this state . So he canceled due to the attention it grabs and the not so advantageous effects it has over Dark Magic, which is one of his main powers .

However, Dark Magic is an ominous power, it’s not only mysterious but it brings out the fear in people and always make them uncomfortable . Lucy is practically immune to it because she had a soul bind with Arthur, as for Saly, she isn’t immune so Arthur lessens his use of Dark Magic when she’s around .

Now that he did everything to ensure his grasp on the old man and Kai Min’s lives . Arthur looked towards the entrance yet again and sarcastically said

"The cat has come out, how come the dog is still hiding?"

Moments passed yet nothing but silence was heard, Arthur remained standing there, still staring at the same location with a smile that soon faded .

"I do not have time to play with you, if you’re not coming out then I’m not being polite anymore . "

He gripped the unsheathed Makaze and inclined his body a bit before he used [Golden Lone Sheath] . The dark blade shone with a dark gold luster before a soundless dark sword arc, formed from the skill, headed towards a specific direction near the entrance . As Arthur expected, the sword attack hit the wall and disappeared as if it hit a bottomless ocean, there were no explosion nor a resistance .

’Let’s see how much you can absorb . ’

Arthur bent his back again and held Makaze and grinned, by the next second, ten successive [Golden Lone Sheath] were launched at the same location . Since the skill had no cooldown and only a high cost, Arthur didn’t hold back and used it ten times in a row, unafraid that his Mana Pool will run out .

Just like before, the attacks seemed to have sunken inside the walls, however, the last one stopped a distance away from the wall, as if it met a resistance . Arthur used the skill three more times, which finally forced whatever was hiding to surface out .

With weird plant clothes and a height of over two meters, it was a humanoid figure resembling a woman . It had some parts that were plants and others that were identical to humans, like her faces and arms .

"Don’t you think it’s rude to intrude my garden and attack me?"

Arthur paid her no heed, his figure disappeared as he charged at her, instantly arriving next to her thanks to his augmented Agility .

His fist shone with a small green light as it struck the side of the woman, who raised her hand to meet his . Just like with the slashes, his fist met with a watery surface when it came in contact with her hand, however, Arthur still didn’t care as he viciously slashed with Makaze, activating [Heavenly Slash] one of his three strongest sword skills .

A deep cry resounded from the dark blade, which became three times longer than usual, the blade came slashing down at the woman with black flames covering the whole room . Arthur wasn’t going to waste time with this woman and didn’t even want to let her go out so he used his strongest skills from the get-go .

This time, the watery surface couldn’t absorb the slash, which came down at the angry and terrified woman . She hurriedly took out a large sunflower and raised it towards the incoming attack .

The sunflower fluttered beautifully and a humming sound was heard as a mysterious wind seemed to have been blown from somewhere, the wind brushed away the slash, barely pushing it away from the woman, who was about to retaliate and attack Arthur but was dumbstruck to see him disappear again .

With a pose similar to a praying monk, Arthur was behind the woman, with eyes closed and natural lightning enveloping him, he stretched one palm towards the back of the woman . The stretched palm flashed with a blinding golden light that illuminated the room and resembled a sun .

When the palm tapped again the scared woman’s back, a rumbling sound was heard followed by the body of the woman which was sent flying like a rocket and heavily crashed again the other direction, destroying the wall and sending her flying even further .

Arthur was sure that she was dead and although he really wanted to possess it, he wasn’t going to run and search for it, however, that didn’t stop him from sending a Death Knight behind her to retrieve what’s left .

The Death Knight obeyed and dashed towards the hole on the wall, as for Arthur, he unsheathed his blade and deactivated [Transcendence] . It was only at this time that he paid attention to Jian Si, who was still standing there but there was no more killing intent, it was replaced with deep shock and a burning desire to fight .
