Once Human, Now a Parasite

Chapter 242

After taking several turns and walking for a few minutes, the master and servant finally arrived at a large room with a dining table . Arthur expected to see the usual room with pillars and a throne but it was surprisingly different and less luxurious than his expectations .

Amidel was not there, only a few servants which were preparing the table . When they saw a woman and the red-haired youth arrived, they guided them to their seat and left hurriedly to call their master .

All servants were instructed to call Amidel when they see Arthur, this shows how much the head of the family wants to meet this mysterious woman .

Arthur calmly sat on the seat, he stared at all the laid out dishes in front of him, it’s been quite a while since he ate, especially delicious food . Although he doesn’t need to eat, it doesn’t mean he doesn’t want to, he loves enjoying the taste of appetizing food, notably Lucy’s cooking .

Swain stood behind his master, he closed his eyes and prepared himself to act, he wasn’t feeling relaxed like Arthur, quite the opposite, he considered Amidel as an enemy despite having a friendly relationship with his daughter .

"You don’t have to be this nervous . Sit down . "

Arthur noticed that Swain’s aura is a bit different as if it was intentionally contained within . Similar to how Rizaki works, the energy is contracted to a very small volume until it self-explodes .

The reason Arthur wasn’t that worried despite knowing that Amidel is a Sovereign and a dangerous one at that is because he not only recovered to his peak state, he powered-up and had three Dimensional Stones which he can use and get the hell out of here before the opponent could react .

"If you don’t calm down, I’ll separate you . "

Swain opened his eyes and glanced at the ceiling while saying

"Master, you don’t understand . This Kang Amidel isn’t human... I don’t know if he’s taking the identity of Kang Amidel or not but he’s dangerous, way more than Rozak . One Rizaki wouldn’t be enough to force him on his knees . "

Arthur was about to talk when Swain continued speaking

"As for escaping, it isn’t possible . The castle is protected by a multi-dimensional formation, thanks to it, the castle was barely damaged by your final attack . "

It’s true that a lot of mysteries revolved around Amidel, but Arthur didn’t care the least . He chuckled and patted the youth’s shoulder and said

"Ah Swain... you really know nothing . If I want to go all out and disregard all the innocent lives, not even Amidel will be able to survive . Furthermore, Rizaki isn’t my only trump card and it’s not my strongest move . "

Hearing this, Swain remembered the time before he fused, when he was two entities, the golem, and the book . Back inside the cave, before Artur departed, he spent almost a whole day crafting something yet he never used, however, there was a distinct thing that happened, it was a small tribulation .

This was intriguing since the object was mainly crafted using Lost Magic, which can mainly craft objects from Earth and they have no Nether Energy .

A tribulation strikes an item or an object if the Heavens are discontent with it and want it destroyed . If the object resists the tribulation, the Heavens can either strike with more tribulations or stop .

"Master, what did you craft?"

Hearing the curious tone of his servant, Arthur shrugged and said

"Nothing special, just a small gift for my wife . "

Swain decided to question this no further, Arthur wasn’t going to answer him anyway, so why bother?

...

A short time later, the hosts arrived at last . It was none other than Kang Amidel and his two children, none of the elders came with them, just these three .

Emily happily sat next to Swain, as for Kithel, he respectfully sat next to Arthur . Only Amidel sat on the opposite side of Arthur, he was showing a friendly and welcoming smile and didn’t seem to be worried about anything .

"It’s a pleasure to finally meet you . "

Amidel’s eyes never left Arthur, he didn’t even spare a glance to Swain, who prepared himself for the worst and decide to aim for Emily and not Amidel in case a fight breaks out . They were friends but the importance of his master far out weights his friendship with this girl, he would do anything that assures the safety of his master .

"The pleasure is all mine . "

Arthur stared back at Amidel and felt surprised at what he was seeing, the appraisal wasn’t accurate this time . What gave out Amidel’s true identity was [Eyes of the Noble Sea], he didn’t show his surprise and maintained a calm expression but this discovery confirmed what Swain said previously .

For the next few minutes, no one talked, they just enjoyed the lavish and luscious food . Only Emily would talk with Swain, who would only nod his head in response .

This continued until all dishes were emptied, the only one who didn’t touch his food was Amidel . He would sip from a special wine and merely glance at Arthur every now and then .

"I hope you enjoyed the food, it was made by a well-known cook and it provides significant aid in cultivation and meditation . "

"It was delicious, thank you . Let’s talk about serious stuff, right now . "

Arthur didn’t want to stay here all day, he wanted to know what Amidel needs from him . It surely wasn’t just about the Treasury Event, someone like Amidel wouldn’t care too much about that albeit the fact that many previous artifacts were stolen .

The Kang Family had another big Treasury situated inside the castle, it was much bigger than the one Arthur had stolen from and it definitely had priceless treasures that the ones Arthur got couldn’t compare to .

"To be honest, Miss, the first time I saw you, I didn’t recognize you but after a thorough investigation, I managed to find a few things that might surprise you . "

"So you just invited me here to tell me you found a few clues about my identity?"

Amidel heartily laughed and shook his head:

"No no, you’re wrong... Mr . Arthur, I’ve found more than a few clues . "

This surprised Kithel more than Arthur himself, who expected his identity to be found, it wasn’t difficult to piece things up, what’s weird, however, is how he discovered his real name . He never mentioned it to anyone, moreover, he expected Amidel to just find out that he’s the one who fought Rozak, not his real name .

Although Kithel had many questions he wanted to ask, he felt confused and cheated yet he didn’t explode in anger, he remained silent and merely listened to their conversation for he knew he was in no place to butt in right now .

"As I said, if you called me here to say that you know who am I, then it’s really a waste of time . "

Arthur was about to stand up and leave the table when Amidel spoke a few words that made Arthur remain seated

"Mr . Arthur, I’ve heard that you always travel with another person... what’s her name again?... Ah! It’s Lucy, right?"

Usually, Arthur would become angry if someone mentions Lucy yet this time, he wasn’t . He smirked and retorted

"I thought the head of the Kang Family was bold and welcoming yet all I’m seeing is a cowardly man who isn’t brave enough to come with his real body... if you have one, that is . "

This time, it was Amidel who was shocked, he stared at Arthur with a chilling look for a few seconds before he smiled again and clapped his hands as if praising Arthur .

"What gave me out?"

Arthur’s eyes turned blue as he stared at Amidel, this made the latter feel as if he was naked in front of Arthur, as if he was seen through the moment he appeared before the other party .

"Nothing gave you out . One look is enough for me to see what you are... just pure Nether Energy, you have no heart, no blood veins, nothing... you’re not human... you’re here yet everywhere, you’re the whole city... am I right, Sir Amidel?"

Amidel didn’t expect to be seen through this much, he thought Arthur just guessed that this was some sort of a clone, but to be discovered this easily, it made him wary of this seemingly harmless woman who is hiding a true monster inside of her .
