Chapter 652: Parasite origins

Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation

Actually, Sheyan been instantly enlightened after beholding the parasitic assaults from Travice.

"Ah, Most likely, the bodies of these Caucasians who voyaged from afar, carried parasite worms unique to Europe!"

"The climate and environment of Europe and Africa differ greatly. This inevitably leads to the breeding of different organisms. Parasites found in Europeans would probably not be found in Africans or vice versa. Or perhaps due to the eating customs of the Ndipaya aborigines, whose diet comprises mostly of herbs, fruits, and vegetation, parasite worms wouldn’t exist in their guts or bodies. Therefore, after consuming the ‘Stairway of the Sun’, the terrifying powers of would directly translate into their bodies; causing them to lose control and morph into existences such as the Lickers."

"As for the Europeans who voyaged here in search of the ‘Stairway of the Sun’. The terrifying powers were possibly shared with parasites living in their bodies; such as roundworms, hookworms, tapeworms and others....thereby metamorphosing into new organisms. Those were the parasite monopolized Plaga Hosts that I faced!"

Of course, Bernard Fokke must’ve met with a fortuitous encounter that year, allowing him to succeed and escape such a tragic misfortune. Eventually, he managed to decipher this miracle and recorded it inside his journal before handing down to his descendants.

Little Lord Fokke then mimicked his ancestor’s experience, and possibly even improved on it, which was how he transformed into such a frightening existence. Moreover, Sheyan didn’t observe any indication of parasites on Little Lord Fokke’s body.

As for why Travice exhibited an entirely different array of parasitic mutations, Sheyan could only surmise it as him contracting a terminal illness. One could imagine the parasites in his body amidst the different medicines and viruses within.

As for how this unfortunate brat landed himself in prison. Sheyan reckoned it was punishment by the Ndipaya people.

Firstly, the Ndipaya natives definitely had adequate confidence in eliminating Plaga Hosts such as him, probably due to the liquid sap of the ‘Stairway of the Sun’ being able to stifle them. Secondly, they condemned him to eternal torture, forcing him to guard this sacred Sun Garden as the price for profaning their sacred ground.

After Sheyan eliminated Travice, his luck went down the drain, as was apparent from the key loot acquired. Besides, the nightmare realm had already notified him of rewards not matching risks in this barren ghost land in the first place. Hence, he only earned 10,000 utility points and merely obtained a single item.

[ Holy Nightshade Dosage ]

[ Type: Medicine ]

[ Description: Before the eighteenth century, this medicine was utilized widely for various reasons. Women dripped it into their eyes to enlarge their pupils. Sick patients used it to numb away their pains. Assassins employed it as a lethal toxin. Vets used it to induce vomiting in poultry to contend against pestilences….. ]

[ Effects: Numbs away your pain upon consumption but damage dealt by opponents increases by 10%. Duration of 10 seconds. Also, it is infused with holy water, and the divine power may heal diseases or regrow limbs ]

[ Summary: Indeed, it was this medicine that sustained Travice in his voyage to the continent of Africa. It was concocted personally by Cardinal Domingo of France. To acquire this, Travice paid the price of 700 gold guineas. Only one concern remains – is it still effective after several centuries? ]

Although this item disappointed Sheyan, he still obtained bonus notifications from killing a notable storyline character, a Boss Plaga Host. He received 1 achievement point and 2 free attribute points, which counted as a consolation prize.

Although this ‘Holy Nightshade Dosage’ seemed rather unreliable, Sheyan was astonished to discover it could be sold for a considerable 20,000 utility points. Therefore, upon contemplating the plausible description of healing diseases and regrowing limbs, Sheyan very bluntly drank it.

Nevertheless, he had to admit it tasted queer and disgusting. A taste akin to piping hot feet-washing water combined with salt.

A brief while after drinking it, Sheyan suddenly sensed the sunlight ambiance congregating towards his severed arm....which was followed by a tingling itch at the wound, before the sunlight slowly grew into an arm. At this moment, he could hear the chorus of a barely audible hymn.

Leveraging on the time required to heal his severed limb, Sheyan casually loitered into Travice’s prison cell. Sadly, there was nothing to gain, merely a 5-6 square meters solitary cell filled with dust and moist.

Besides, Travice was an ancient archaic figure, who couldn’t be compared to those brats traveling alongside Little Lord Fokke. After the passage of centuries, all his possessions had probably rusted and decomposed into dust.

While Sheyan was still examining the place, a sonorous boom resounded from outside! Instantaneously, tremors shook the cavern walls as rock fragments and dust crumbled down; it was as though a violent earthquake was occurring.

Sheyan instantly panicked. "Damned! What shitty luck If I were to be buried alive here!"

Logically speaking, Sheyan had attained his objective and could return to the nightmare realm already. However, his heart was still plagued by many riddles.

For example, the enigma of Mbenga’s identity; what exactly happened to him years ago? Also, the miracles of Bernard Fokke and the mysterious metamorphosis of the demon horse, Momore. Lastly, what caused the decline and fall of the Ndipaya Tribe.....

Most crucially, lessons from the bloody travesty of past were still vivid in his mind. The outcome of directly consuming the ‘Stairway of the Sun’ would be either degenerating into a Licker, or becoming another edition of Travice if his body housed parasite worms...

Sheyan didn’t wish to mutate into such diabolical creatures. This pertained to his personal interest and benefits. Therefore, Sheyan planned to stay for a longer period. At least, he would try his utmost to solve this vital problem.

After recovering to his optimum state, Sheyan headed for another glance at the ‘Stairway of the Sun’. Instead, just glancing at him dawned an unrivaled intensity of deadliness. Evidently, approaching it once again would end his life.

Sheyan no longer had the interest to challenge it and returned to the entry point of this sealed cavern. After following the method Mbenga had detailed to him earlier, he activated the mechanism for this ‘elevator’.

Soon after, this primitive ‘elevator’ descended. At this very instant, an incomparably thick blood odor pervaded his nostrils.

Sheyan immediately drew his saber and bent forward, preparing to block his front with his weapon.

To his astonishment, when the stone platform descended, 7 sprawled corpses laid atop it!

The corpses had the attire of the Ndipaya Kingdom Guardians. Their faces were tattooed with a coiled serpent. Some had pikes and javelins in their hands, while others had a bow slung to their backs. A puddle of dark crimson blood-soaked beneath them.

As Sheyan beheld this sight, he unexpectedly noticed a hairless dog, with the physique of a young calf, who was wagging its tail and licking up the sullied blood. On its back, was the brand of a sun. Upon seeing Sheyan, it instantly lunged viciously towards him.

When lounging in midair, this large dog enlarged its mouth, which transformed into massive blood devouring jaws; razor-sharp canine fangs polluted within. However, this biohazard dog had already suffered serious wounds beforehand. As a result, Sheyan easily chopped it down with his blade. After several consecutive slashes, he dissected the head of this massive dog; successfully slaying it.

Actually, after entering this ‘Resident Evil, Origins’ world, Sheyan was graced with numerous opportunities to initiate milestones. The highest class was actually to hunt that enormous Blood Boss Licker…...which would offer a rewarding title of the rare Silver Class. Obviously, Sheyan very straightforwardly rejected it; who was he kidding!

Yet at this instance of killing off a mutated evil dog, he unexpectedly initiated another milestone. The milestone entailed him to slay 6 different kinds of biohazard mutated creatures.

At present, Sheyan had already completed 5 – this biohazard dog, Plaga Host, Licker, Deathmarsh Great Crocodile and the Mutated Arachnidacrab. After careful contemplations over his situation, Sheyan selected to accept the initiation. This was because he roughly recalled seeing decomposing ravens back in the outer reaches of the Kijuju Marshland. As such, he should be able to add them to his list.

While pondering over this milestone, a bitter scream drifted in from above. Following that, a body tumbled down from above, carrying in splashes of fresh blood.

Sheyan immediately leaped backward. After that body landed on the heap of corpses, half his body jolted back up, before crashing down again; resembling a bloody devil breathing its final gasp.

His wrist seemed to have been gnawed by a ferocious beast, as blood-drenched the exposure of his eerie white bone joint. Prune colored bruises could also be seen. Claw and chomp marks revealed that the biohazard dog was the culprit

Sheyan prudently crept in and discovered he was also a Ndipaya Kingdom Guardian. From his feeble breathing, he could barely tell this person was still alive. Sheyan carefully pulled aside a corpse that was pressing onto this victim. He worried that any excessive tremors could abruptly snuff out the flames of this dying candle.

This Ndipaya Kingdom Guardian appeared to be roughly forty years old. The shade of his eyes was deathly grey, and speckles of bloodstains riddled his naked chest.

Sheyan desired to scout out the affair above from his mouth. Thus, he poured several mouthfuls of water for him, and kneaded his temples a little. After doing his utmost to rescue him, he still remained motionless like a dead person. If not for the faint undulation of his chest, Sheyan would’ve given up already.

Right when Sheyan was about to lose hope, this person suddenly sprang up! His action was so abrupt, droplets of blood sprayed against Sheyan’s face. Then, he tried his best to raise his weapon and shouted in a hoarse voice.

"Guarba!"
