Once Human, Now a Parasite

Chapter 677: 677

"Are you sure it’s here? I don’t sense anyone . "

A broad-shouldered man with long black hair asked Bradaris, his young brother, as he surveyed the place . The only thing here was his son’s corpse, which decomposed within a day due to the unique environment of the Rose Sea .

The place was as quiet as ever with no signs of Arthur . The two brothers advanced a bit more only for a catastrophe to befall on them . When Bradaris explained what happened to his older brother, who’s also the dead young man’s father, he just said that he couldn’t gauge the man’s cultivation .

The father guessed that Arthur must be a peak God Monarch who’s also forming his Celestial body, after all, real Overgods are hard to come by, especially in remote places such as this small island .

The ground below the two suddenly turned jet black and thick chains sprung from it, wrapping around them and sucking them below within seconds . The two couldn’t even cry before they perished .

Arthur stood a few meters away, his sense covering the whole island, trying to see if they had more allies but it didn’t seem to be the case, which made him a bit relieved that no more people will come .

Sadly, the very same day, late at night, the woman from yesterday appeared near the cave again but, this time, she was accompanied by a girl and two men, one of them being an overgod, unexpectedly .

The woman was dressed more appropriately than yesterday and looked much better .

"Alda, if this man is as strong as you claimed then we could use his help . "

The Overgod, a short man with brown hair and a thick beard, spoke to the woman, who stood before the group and looked at the darkness surrounding them .

"Sen-"

The woman took a deep breath and was about to shout at the top of her lungs but she was immediately cut-off .

A suffocating pressure enveloped everyone, including the Overgod . A large silhouette made its appearance, causing all of them to turn pale, especially the short man .

The beast had a beautiful white hair and golden lines on its body, its mouth big enough to devour three to four of them whole . Its height was over three meters and its Divine aura could clearly be felt by the terrified and unwelcome visitors .

The monstrosity standing before them caused them to be rooted, unable to even flee . The Overgod was the only one who acted, he retrieved a one-handed hammer from his storage ring and jumped at the White Tiger but after merely two steps, he was immobilized .

His legs were caught between dozens of black vines and even when he tried getting rid of them, even more came out . In just a few seconds, the Overgod was unarmed and wrapped into the vines from head to toe .

"I clearly told you to leave yet you boldly came back . Don’t expect to leave this place alive . "

"Senior! Please have mercy!"

The woman started begging again, his eyes teary and incredibly pale . The others didn’t even let out a sound as they shook in their boots, heads down, unable to look at the horrifying Divine Beast, which appeared out of nowhere .

If they initially knew a powerful beast inhabited this forest, no one would dare to trespass, not even Overgods . The woman hoped to get Arthur’s help and get rid of her enemies but her decision will apparently cost her life and the others’ .

"Mfmhg"

The man wrapped in vines tried to talk but all he let out were pitiful and incomprehensible groans . Slowly but surely, the vines were tightening around his body and breaking his bones . He tried to resist by erupting his energy and maximizing the efficiency of his technique but nothing worked .

He didn’t know that the moment the vines made contact with his skin, Dark Magic invaded his body, infiltrated his Meridians, and started weakening him . His mental was also crumbling little by little .

The second Arthur was about to finish them off, he heard a familiar voice from behind .

"It’s fine, just let them go . "

A graceful figure wearing a beautiful scarlet dress walked from behind the white tiger . She had long silver hair, her eyes, one crimson and the other sky-blue, making her look more mesmerizing, especially in the darkness of the night, she was like an otherworldly fairy .

Her sudden appearance captivated the woman and her group, which was mostly made of young people, with the exception of the Overgod, of course .

Delighted that Lucy managed to finish meditating and seemed to have gotten much stronger, Arthur didn’t finish off the strangers and turned his whole attention to his wife .

The white tiger distorted before changing into a man wearing black leather clothes . A faint but noticeable cold aura was emanating from Lucy, proof that she fully merged with the ice phoenix’ blood . Furthermore, through his special eye, Arthur could see a golden fire burning inside of the White Specter . This fire’s aura wasn’t as intense as her Yin, nevertheless, it still belonged to the Golden Crow .

"Why are you here?"

Although she told Arthur to spare him, Lucy never looked positively at the women sticking close to her husband, it’s partially due to her over-protective nature and the way she easily and quickly gets jealous .

"S-senior!"

The woman bowed toward Lucy, somehow managing to control her fear and shock . The white tiger literally changed back into a human before her eyes, plus, the silver-haired woman looked no weaker than the man beside her .

"I, it’s nothing! Please excuse our intrusion!"

The woman bowed again and began to retreat . The Overgods was also free of the vines, he deeply looked at Arthur then at Lucy before returning next to his group . He was an esteemed Overgods but lacked any kind of arrogance for he knew the difference between this mysterious couple and himself .

The others didn’t know it but the way his body reacted... he was sure that the woman was an Exalted God, and a powerful one at that! Chills ran down his spines as he barely contained his emotions .

If they could get these two to help them, all their problems will be easily solved, however, it’s never easy to gain the favor of such strong individuals, especially after you start at the wrong foot .
