Once Human, Now a Parasite

Chapter 234

Ehrendil could only react at the swinging sword by retreating back, out of its range . He could deflect it but his techniques are all aggressive and the girl would be injured, which is something he isn’t brave enough to do .

If she were to be the least bit injured, that’s enough reason for her backing to devour his tribe, there is also the option of silencing her so that nobody knows but such a choice isn’t a wise one because he was seen by many people when he saw leaving the city in search of Arthur .

"The situation is getting out of hand, don’t you think so, Ehrendil?"

Arthur spoke to the distressed Ehrendil, making the latter glare at him angrily and say

"So it’s YOU!"

Ehrendil flew straight at Arthur again, intending to finish him but he was interrupted by Jian Si, who blocked his way yet again .

"Miss Jian, I do not want to hurt you, please move away or face the consequences!"

"Hmpf! I’d like to see you try . "

The girl wasn’t the least bit fazed by the God, for a person with a background like hers, she has an abundance of life-saving treasures, however, she was confident in beating him even without them .

The pressure emanating from Ehrendil increasing, he tried to overwhelm her and force her to back off but from her the stubborn and serious look on her face, he knew that it was futile .

The tension remained for a whole minute with the two sides at a stand-off before Ehrendil let out a helpless sigh and retreated . He signaled for the two remaining generals to follow him then he left the area as if nothing happened .

’Having is a powerful background is seriously useful...’

Arthur lamented on his fate, he was always forced to fight as he couldn’t scare his enemies with his background since he came from a low-Realm . Ehrendil wasn’t going to drop this matter, he would certainly strike when Jian Si is gone, but at that time, he would have recovered and would fear the gargoyles no more .

The two resumed walking, Arthur didn’t give any words of thanks or praise for Jian Si as if it was her job to protect him, not the other way around .

Arthur intended to head to the city, it was by far the safest place since Amidel invited him earlier and no powerful enemies could bypass the Kang Sovereign and attack him directly .

Moreover, he already got the necessary Spatial Mastery to travel to Earth, all he needed was its coordinates, which is something easy to acquire .

Each world has its unique coordinates, including Earth . Most Realms were interconnected by Spatial Tunnels excluding the abandoned or destroyed ones .

Arthur suspected that the Earth is situated in the System’s universe, and to obtain its coordinates, he needs to visit the forgotten continent on Astria, which was mentioned several times by Zodiak .

Astria was definitely in the X-TR 500 Universe, and it was also one of the abandoned worlds, which is why there is a severe lack of visitors from other worlds .

The forgotten continent, which is in the North-West of the Demon Continent is supposedly protected by a powerful illusion formation causing it to be untraceable by outside sources .

Zodiak didn’t mention how to get in, but knowing its location is enough for Arthur, he was confident in finding an appropriate way to enter .

The mythical being, Zodiak, never wrote any details about the forgotten continent but he mentioned more than one time, which intrigued Arthur .

It was said that there is an ancient library in the continent, through it, almost anything can be found . This is why Arthur decided to first get his hands on a Spatial Master then visit the continent, it’s better to get rid of the difficult thing first .

The two of them walked for a while until they reached a remote area, Jian Si created a small cave for them to rest, or more accurately, for her teacher to rest as he never ceased coughing blood since a while ago .

Arthur needed a lot of rest but he pushed himself to resist the urge to fall unconscious, he still didn’t trust the girl one bit, no matter if she’s his student or not .

What’s even worse, the chains which became more comfortable a while ago, started making it difficult for him to move, they became heavy and became tighter .

With the cave sealed with some kind of artifact Jian Si took out, the two of them sat inside, where there are some lights coming from light crystals that could be bought anywhere in this world .

"Teacher, what are these chains?"

Jian Si inspected the chains from afar since Arthur chose to stay as far away from her as possible . They walked for two hours so his Health was almost back to full, same thing for his Mana and Nether Energy .

Despite the infinite Stamina, he was feeling an overwhelming exhaustion and for the first time in very, very long time, he yearned for a good night’s sleep .

Unfortunately, it wasn’t possible, not with a crazy girl near him and the aching pain that was agonizing his mind .

As he leaned on a big boulder, his body felt numb and even opening his eyes became rather difficult, his eyes lids heavy, his body soaking with sweet and reeking with the scent of blood . He expected some kind of backlash, however, it was far worse than he predicted .

Nonetheless, for such a tiring fight and to slay a Sovereign, it’s normal for him to suffer this much, he was only at the Divine Realm .

He even dropped to the 3rd Grade after using a lot of skills that cost permanent Mental Power, mainly [Blood For Blood] .

"If you accepted the deal, you would not have ended like this . Although it’s a Sovereign, it’s not a powerful one, not something to struggle with that much... if I had all my powers, then killing him in a few seconds is easily doable . "

The Earth Spirit talked to Arthur, with a prideful tone . He was disappointed to not be able to get the Dimensional stone, he was also a bit fearful of Arthur’s potential . He witnessed the battle from beginning to end and never did he see a Demon this strange and powerful .

He had seen legendary Gods beat Sovereign with a wave of their hands, but for a Divine being to beat a Sovereign, he never heard or saw anything like that until today .

This forced to act him tonight, waiting for Arthur to be at his weakest state so he can escape the chains and his consciousness .

The night passed slowly, Arthur ignored the personal questions Jian Si would ask every few minutes . After a while, she gave up and started cultivating, as for him, he closed his eyes and tried to rest .

Meditation wasn’t possible albeit its extremely useful proprieties, his mind felt as if it’s going to explode and he felt that the condition of his body was worsening rather than recovering .

’What’s happening?’

Out of nowhere, an imaginable pain assaulted him, making veins pop out and his skin turn red . Arthur did nothing, he didn’t even cry in pain, his handheld into the golden ring as he closed his eyes, waiting for this pain to pass .

It was a heart-wrenching pain but for Arthur, it was nothing compared to the pain he felt from the loneliness, being apart from Lucy and Saly is more painful than this .
