Once Human, Now a Parasite

Chapter 620: 620

"It’s going to explode soon . "

Losha commented while activating her physique, which covered her body in unbreakable diamond . The scarlet moon which was very close to them was slowly cracking but the Gods and Devils fighting below it didn’t seem to care and continued crazily fighting each other .

"Then we’ll be off . "

Arthur didn’t feel like talking with the reincarnator, he transformed into a shark made of bones and dove underground right after Lucy jumped on his back and tightly grabbed one of the thinner bones . Unlike him, she couldn’t navigate well under the unstable ground, and considering that the surface is filled with enemies, it’s much safer to travel underground .

The tip of the shark was drilling through the tough earth, creating a large tunnel as it headed farther from the soon-to-explode moon .

Unfortunately, minutes after Arthur left that area, the place was obliterated by a meteor shower caused by the moon, which split in two . Losha was prepared, however, she was still blasted far away and half of her body became bloodied . No one and nothing was spared, not even the parasite fleeing underground... Arthur and Lucy were hit by a flattening force which crushed the earth and turned the whole area in an unrecognizable mess .

By the time the couple came to their senses, they were falling into the abyss along with countless boulders of all shapes and sizes, there were also corpses of both Gods and Devils .

Arthur automatically returned to his human form and unconsciously held Lucy tight while activating the Angel of Death wings that allowed him to fly, though he had to dodge the innumerable things falling from above . The situation got even worse when a falling meteor that had a radius of several kilometers came crashing down . Lucy activated her Godspirit and used it to slow down the flaming boulder but, sadly, it didn’t last long as the ice lotus was soon shattered .

The parasite held his wife’s hands as they faced the sky while falling . . . without needing to talk, the two started readying their energies . A massive and illusory humanoid figuer appeared behind them, it was holding a blue bow and was slowly pulling the unseen strings of the weapon .

They didn’t get to complete the whole skill as the meteor was closing down, nonetheless, the fired arrow was incredibly destructive as hit the center of the boulder . From the point of impact to all over the target, Yin power started freezing everything and quelling down the crimson fire which kind of resembled the Hell flames .

"It’s not stopping!"

Arthur gritted his teeth and used two consecutive Rizakis, one made of Dark Magic and the other of Wind . He had to unleash them immediately as danger was nigh so their effect wasn’t at its peak either, nonetheless, the result was satisfactory as a third of the meteor vanished . Dark flames clashed with the crimson ones while violent invisible winds were getting big chunks off the meteor . Lucy didn’t remain idle either, through Arthur’s help, who granted her a momentary lightning buff which greatly increased her speed, she flew at the boulder like a shooting star .

Her Devil Arm was emitting a lot of steam as she clenched her hand and poured all of her Mana into it then struck the unimaginable big target . Her appearance slightly changed as she activated her racial ability, further boosting her power and, at last, with a loud cry, she punched .

A deep rumbling could be heard the moment her fist made contact with the meteor, it was quickly followed by an absurd amount of steam which enveloped the whole area . The second she hit her target, Lucy and Arthur simultaneously used the Time stop ability to weaken the red flames and the speed of the boulder .

Fortunately, Lucy’s attack managed to split it then make it explode like fireworks, allowing the couple to take a breath .

...

A distance away, a meteor no smaller than the one Arthur and Lucy had to deal with was frozen mid-air, or more precisely, it was stopped by a minuscule figure covered in diamonds . With blood covering her vision and most of her body, Losha was using her bare hands to stop the boulder . Slowly but surely, she was diverting the meteor’s trajectory with sheer physical strength .

Although it took her a bit of time and she sustained several injuries, Losha still managed to throw away the meteor and then fell on the ground, panting heavily while clutching her rapidly beating heart .

"That sneaky fucker... this is the last floor!"

She didn’t curse often but when she felt the energy emanating from within the half-destroyed moon, she instinctively knew this was not something as simple as surviving . It has been a long time she felt true fear, moreover, a single one of these countless falling meteors made her go all out . She threw a green pill in her mouth, sat cross-legged for ten seconds then got up after puking a mouthful of black blood . Feeling a bit refreshed, she looked around, looking for any contestants��

���

A woman with a black hair that reached her feet looked at the crumbling sky and splitting earth before focusing on an unimaginably large wing hidden within the scarlet moon .

"How the hell did he catch it?"

She thought for a moment before mumbling: "Wait a minute..."

As if she realized something, she gasped, unwilling to believe her speculation .

"Leiu... you can’t fight fire with fire . "

Without any hesitation, she took out a scissor made of bones and her a big portion of her long hair then she spilled some of her blood on it . The result of her actions was instant as a void-like whole appeared on the earth and, from within, an undead was summoned . This was her strongest undead and it is even more powerful than her current weakened self .

"You protect him and never leave his side, understood?"

She coldly ordered the undead, which was actually a short girl with white eyes and hair . She had a thin white longsword made of bones on her back and wore a beautiful black dress .

"Yes, milady . "

The girl bowed and vanished into a dispersing black smoke, breaking the space of the Red Tower and immediately appearing next to Leiu, who didn’t seem too surprised to see her .

...

"... Soon, I will not be myself so-"

The Joker cut him off by saying: "Sure sure I know . I’m not interfering unless you’re in danger . "

The youth sighed and explained: "You don’t understand . It won’t work unless I’m in danger . "

"Sigradzomr’s presence is enough to force Sol’khin out . "

In response, Leiu shook his head and looked at an empty spot not far away . His brother followed his gaze only to see a robbed old man silently standing there, not showing any fear or hesitation .

"There’s more than Sigradzomr . "

Zodiak, who was the first to arrive at this final place, also known as the World of Darkness, where Leiu’s manor actually is, stared at the armored youth and said:

"You released the Elder Dragon Sigradzomr so you actually know that we’re not enough to take you down once you’re out of control but... an enslaved and vengeful monster won’t discriminate . "

"We’re not forcing anyone to be here . If you don’t want to be part of this then leave . "-The Joker

"Hehehe how can I leave? I need to reclaim what’s mine first . "

Dark Magic emanated from Zodiak’s body, it transformed into black flames that merged with the dark environment, almost camouflaging the old man .

Zodiak wasn’t here to talk so after saying his piece, he took out a creepy cane from his storage and pointed it at the motionless Leiu . The moment it was taken out of the ring, Sol’khin’s cane started releasing an ominous purple light which even affected Zodiak, who grasped it more tightly .

The light coming out of the skull atop the cane resonated with something Leiu, who clutched his chest and knelt on the ground . Very soon, the purple light started spinning around Zodiak and his target, seemingly about to take them elsewhere .

Unfortunately, before the process was completed, the Joker appeared before the cane and blocked its purple light . He stretched his hand and fired a white beam which overpowered the cane’s light and stopped the teleportation .

"If you want to take down Sol’khin then, sure, I won’t meddle but I’m not going to take my brother somewhere else . Whatever happens, I need to be present . "

Zodiak snorted and pulled the skull from the cane, he held it in his hand and injected a large amount of Dark Magic, causing the purple light to intensify . A few seconds later, a ghastly laughed could be heard from behind the Magician, who took a few steps back while looking at his brother, who was no longer conscious .

"Ah! So it’s not Arthur but Zodiak? It’s really a surprise!"

Though Leiu’s mouth didn’t open, Sol’khin’s voice echoed across this dark world . He stood up, uninterestingly glanced at the Joker then focused on the old man, who shattered the pulsating creepy with his hand .

After a few seconds, Sol’khin was confused, using the youth’s body, he looked around then frowned:

"I can sense Arthur’s soul too... so invigorating!"

Dark Magic was shot from Zodiak’s hand, targeting the still speaking Sol’khin, however, before it could reach him, it was cut by a white sword . The undead summoned by Xyktia reached her target and stood before the Nameless Knight, her sword in hand as she faced the angry Zodiak .

He wasn’t in the mood to deal with extras so he went all out from the beginning, unleashing a monstrous amount of Dark Magic that engulfed everything and made the whole place shake . Faced with the calamitous and malevolent magic, the girl remained calm and swung her sword multiple times, each time splitting the big waves of Dark Magic as if they were nothing .

As Zodiak was about to attack again, the white-haired undead girl was suddenly blasted by a destructive magic . She wasn’t injured but the blow pushed her to the side and opened a path for Zodiak, who was more than prepared .

Forne made a timely appearance and started fighting the powerful undead . His destruction magic lightened the dark world as several loud explosions happened one after the other .
