Once Human, Now a Parasite

Chapter 328

[Darkness Eyes]!

Rebecca cast a skill that allowed her to sense nearby enemies and determine their exact number . She wasn’t strong enough to spread the range of the skill to a wide area but for the current situation, it was enough to detect the enemies and resist any ambush that may occur .

Screams and battling sounds resounded in this desolate town as the undead attacked everything in their way, from people to buildings . Usui left the area and tried to follow Lucy only to be left alone, facing a large group of undead that was marching toward him .

The blonde youth gritted his teeth and started throwing fireballs and powerful Fire-related skills, decimating the weak skeletons in just a few seconds, however, no matter how much he killed, even more, would appear .

There were some exception which didn’t go down after the fire wave if attack . Special skeletons and zombies that wore jet black armors and wielded deadly weapons . Usui had a hard time dealing with them and was forced to use high-leveled skills that cost more Mana .

"Tsk! I didn’t expect them to be this strong . . . it’s like they sent their main force . "

Amongst the many zombies and skeletons that were either being burned to death or walking on their comrades’ corpses to attack the lone enemy, there was a tall figure that could be easily spotted from afar .

It had a height of over two meters and was wearing a full set of jet black armor, a two-handed axe that was longer than its holder and a presence that made all the weakling in front of it to make way for it as to not anger it .

Usui guessed that this must be their leader, however, before he could unleash his powerful skill, the figure of the Death Knight suddenly disappeared and by the next second, he could only feel a cold gust of wind brush past him, leaving him in disbelief for two seconds . It was only when the army got closer to him did he finally snap out of it and retreat hastily to warn the others .

’O-only Lucy could deal with that undead but she’s missing . . . I have to warn the others . This is not a normal undead army . . . ’

Unfortunately, the place Usui was fighting was a few minutes away from their temporary camp .

The Death Knight arrived at the safe building, where Claudia was, in just a few seconds . The place was protected by a small barrier that Rebecca cast just in case, however, it was shattered by the sheer brute force of the charging Death Knight .

The short girl was visibly shaken by the sudden appearance of the Death Knight and the destruction of her barrier . She, Claudia stared at the tall undead with wide-open eyes . They had the System and, normally, they are able to see the Lv of their enemy above their head, however, this time was vastly different .

Death Knight : ?????

"W-what is this?"

Rebecca spoke with a shaky tone as they slowly backed away unconsciously when they faced the motionless Death Knight, which was staring back at them with its two green and flaming eyes .

"R,Rebecca . . . DO SOMETHING!"

Claudia shouted at the loli next to her, she pushed the mage to the front and repeatedly urged her to act . This place only had one entrance and the undead was blocking it, which made the matters worse .

Even Dragons, the mightest Race that inhabits the current Earth, didn’t show details like with this undead . Furthermore, these two women had a vast knowledge about monsters and the System after being Heroes for a few years, which is why they immediately understood that this enemy before them is no ordinary one .

It didn’t take a genius to explain to them that this was an opponent they cannot defeat . The only hope for them was Lucy, who was absent, or so thought Claudia .

As Claudia wasn’t a fighter, Rebecca had to think of something to buy time for them to escape . When she came to this small town, she never thought that a calamity would befall on them, usually, it would be a simple job devoid of any real danger but with the appearance of this scary-looking knight, it didn’t appear to be that easy anymore .

Sooner than later, she started regretting ever coming here and was even thinking of saving her skin and abandoning Claudia, who’s practically useless in such a dire situation .

[Ball Of Darkness]

An ominous ball the size of a fist appeared between the two parties, it started absorbing the light in the room and diminishing the vision of everyone inside the room except the caster .

Although only a few seconds passed since the appearance of the Death Knight, thousands of thoughts rampaged inside Rebecca’s head and at last, she decided to save her skin first .

To begin with, Claudia was never a good person so why should she try to save her life? That’s the excuse Rebecca came up with before using all her speed to ran at the entrance while darkness was covering the place .

Unfortunately, this didn’t go as expected, the black orb lasted for two seconds before it strangely vanished into thin air thus allowing light to illuminate the place once again .

This wasn’t the end, Rebecca, who was busy running toward the entrance while keeping a safe distance away from the Death Knight, was suddenly frozen in mid-air .

Something was tightly binding her . Although she was a mage, her other stats weren’t that low, however, no matter how much she struggled, she couldn’t break free from whatever was immobilizing her .

She tried casting spells but wasn’t able to do so . . . .

*You have been cursed!*

*You are unable to cast spells*

*You have been cursed*

*Your stats decrease by 25%*

*Your movement speed decreases by 70%*

. . . .

A series of notifications popped in front of her, making her feel even more desperate . As she read the messages and understood that she can’t break free, Rebecca realized that this may be her final day, her eyes turned hollow and her heart started beating fast the instinctive fear of death .

Arthur paid no more attention to the short mage and shifted his attention to Claudia, who backed away until her back was touching the wall . Her body was shaking and her face was extremely pale .

She knew that begging would do her no good as she wasn’t facing a Human she could seduce but an Undead entity, something that couldn’t comprehend her language or show any emotions .

With no one to rely on, she started retrieving different kinds of one-use items that are extremely expensive but not highly effective against powerful monsters .

These items were her last hope in surviving this disaster so she started throwing them at Arthur, who was completely unaffected by these colorful items which wouldn’t harm even Saly .

Slowly but surely, the Death Knight started approaching the scared woman, who would loudly shout with an angry tone each time she threw an offensive item at it .

After using more than twenty items, she started noticing that not a single scratch appeared on the Undead . It was steadily making its way toward her and whatever she threw at the enemy didn’t seem to be the least bit effective .

When only a distance of two steps was separating the two parties, the Death Knight looked down at the pale-faced woman, who lost her charm and was fiercely shaking in front of him, barely able to stand up, much less ran away .

Arthur’s goal wasn’t to kill her, he just wanted to show her what real fear is and make her experience unimaginable pain so she doesn’t forget about him .

This bitch was the vengeful type, if one were to seriously harm her pride or body, she would hold an eternal grudge and would not calm down until she successfully complete her vengeance . So, he was going to make her traumatized so that later, she wouldn’t forget about this beautiful moment .

As he faced this weak woman, the undead raised his hand and seemingly slashed the air which confused Claudia, who thought that the undead was trying to communicate with her .

Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case, by the next second, a fountain of blood splattered on her face, the wall, and the ground . Her whole left arm, from the shoulder all the way down, was cleanly cut using pure Sword Energy .

The pain was so agonizing that Claudia started screeching loudly as she held her shoulder and started rolling the ground . To see such a prideful and arrogant woman in such a situation, it was truly an exhilarating experience for Arthur .

"GAAAAAAAAAAAAH AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH YO- AAAAAAAAAAAAH"

She couldn’t speak as the pain almost made her fall unconscious but she managed to stay awake by biting her tongue and glaring angrily at the Death Knight .

Her eyes still held fear but the anger surpassed the former, she lost a whole arm and the disgrace she felt overwhelmed the feeling of fear . She cared about her body and image more than anything which is why such an attack caused her to became hysterical .

"AAAAAAAAAAH YOU FUC-"

She wailed and was about to curse only to be kicked by the Death Knight, who sent her body flying to the other side of the room . A few of her bones were broken due to that kick but what was more humiliating was the fact that the undead walked up there and pressed its foot on her head, forcing her to eat the dirt .

With red eyes and eyes full of rage, the woman tried to resist and struggle away from his grasp only to be pressed even deeper into the ground .

On the corner of the room, Rebecca fainted after seeing the gushing blood and the gore . She was haemophilic so such a sight was too much for her .
