Once Human, Now a Parasite

Chapter 243


Chapter 243

"You know, Mr . Arthur, I see something new every day, however, in all the years I have lived, I have never seen someone like you . "

When Amidel said that, it was as if he was mocking his own ignorance, he smiled wryly and continued

"What makes people afraid is the unknown, some would fear what they don’t know more than an evil existence that is infamous all over the Universe . I’ve heard many stories about you but in each and every one of them, you’re another person, you use different powers . It’s impossible for them to recognize you but I can, you can hide in a vessel but the ominous magic that you frequently use is engraved deep into your bones, Dantian, and even your soul . Just staring at its source makes me want to stay away from it... if I could call it something then it’ll surely be ’Pure Evil’ . "

In response to this, Arthur laughed and retorted

"Evil? Then, tell me Amidel, what’s truly evil? Murder? Theft? Because there is a lot of powers which do that all the time then pretend nothing happened when in truth, they slaughtered a bunch of innocent bystanders to keep a secret or for a lame excuse . "

Arthur waved his hand, storing the woman’s body and revealing his true body . His left eye pulsated with grey light at it stared at Amidel .

"For me, there is no evil nor kindness, everyone, except a few people, are my enemies . People keep standing in my way so I have no choice but to kill, kill until the last one of my enemies is dead, no one will be left alive, even a crippled mortal who can’t even move a finger . No mercy for the young or old, no one shall be spared if they obstruct the path to achieve my goals . "

With a nonchalant look as he inspected Arthur’s true appearance, Amidel said

"What is your goal exactly?"

"Very simple, a peaceful life but... that can’t happen unless I get rid of all the nuisances in my life . I say, Amidel, it’s time for you to choose a side . Fighting is all I do every day, I do not mind if an extra person is added to the enemy ranks . "

Amidel wasn’t particularly pleased to see that Arthur seemed to be underestimating him, he frowned and increased his aura, trying to overwhelm Arthur and show him that he isn’t some random enemy that could be killed easily .

Arthur remained calm, he didn’t budge even after the aura surrounded him from all direction . He lightly lifted his index finger and said

"That is an old trick, Amidel, unsuited for a Sovereign, don’t you say? I prefer the direct tricks, like this one . "

He moved his index finger a bit more and at that moment, countless dark threads appeared all over the table . Most of them were rendering Kithel and Emily unable to move, one move from his finger could behead them .

The threads didn’t use Nether Energy and if he concentrates enough, it’s easy to make them unnoticeable by Amidel, especially if he uses Spatial Magic .

Once he saw this, Amidel’s pupils contracted, he was about to get up and act when Arthur shook his head and added

"That’s unwise, Amidel... unless you do not have feelings for your children and do not care about their lives... if that’s the case, then please, let me help you get rid of them . It’s a shame for your prodigious daughter to die miserably like this but that’s how life is, ups and downs . "

With somewhat a dark look on his face, Amidel stated

"I’ve heard that you do not attack the innocent, it seems my sources were totally wrong . From an equal person to another, there exists honor but it seems you do not care about that either..."

"Honor? I don’t think you’ll choose a thing such as ’Honor’ instead of your children... I’m just like you, I will do anything to save my family, including killing the innocent and resorting to all kinds of evil things, even if it means the death of everyone, I would do it without batting an eye as long as my family is safe and sound . "

Emily and Kithel, who were dumbfounded by this sudden turn of events, were frozen, unable to lift a finger or talk . Kithel was in a much worse case since he just discovered that the woman he liked was fake and it turned to be an evil person, the same grey-haired man who was fighting that old man outside of the city .

Emily was confused too, she couldn’t believe she was caught so easily . She considered herself a genius and was confident in her power, even against someone like Swain, she was certain she could fight him equally yet here she is trapped by some thin threads that she couldn’t move even after unleashing her Nether Energy, which was consumed by the dark threads that contained Dark Magic .

"What do you want?"

Seeing his two kids trapped, Amidel couldn’t act . He knew how powerful Arthur and despite him being made pure of Energy and he was able to teleport within the range of the city, he wasn’t confident in freeing them from Arthur’s grasp in time .

Amidel was fully aware of Arthur’s strange teleporting ability, it can be used multiple times and it’s even faster than his, it happens to abruptly and without any warning, by the time he teleports, the other party would have sensed him .

Arthur’s skill [Eyes of the Noble Sea] are extremely useful in such situation, for entities like Amidel, which are made from only Energy, any sudden fluctuation or change would be seen by Arthur, which gave him a huge advantage .

"What I want? You’re the one who invited me here . "

"I called you here to request help from you . "

Amidel didn’t waste time with words and said his true motives directly .

"Help? With wha- . . . ah!"

Arthur knew that Kang Amidel didn’t want to risk it, he wanted to take precautions against the incoming catastrophe .

’He must have forced the three other factions to unite . ’

Although he didn’t know if one of the Divine Beasts will attack this place, there’s still a small chance that’ll happen, and he didn’t want to be negligent, which is part of the reason he wanted to invite Arthur and ask him to stay .

With two Sovereigns, they have more chance to overcome the disaster, if it came, that is .

"I’ll be blunt, I’m not going to help you . However, I can give you a very, very precious piece of information . What do you say, Amidel?"

Still seated, Amidel furrowed his brow and looked at Arthur, trying to see through him but he was unable to do so as he was met with a cold smile from the other party .

"Surely, you won’t tell me that piece of information without getting something from me . "(Amidel)

Arthur clapped his hands and added

"You’ll owe me a favor... see, I didn’t ask the impossible . "

Normally, Amidel would think things through and see if it’s worth it for him, but right now, he could only agree as his kids’ lives are in Arthur’s hands .

Amidel ended up nodding his head to show his acceptance . However, Arthur wasn’t done yet, he stretched his hand upwards and conjured a jet black talisman that emitted an ominous and uncomfortable aura .

Black flames burned the talisman as it floated in the air, slowly approaching Amidel .

"I can’t take your word for it, I need to be sure that you’ll not go back on your words later, so this is necessary . If you resist it, I’ll take it as a refusal, alright, Sir Amidel?"

Amidel showed an expressionless face as he watched the talisman enter his body and disperse into a dark fog that invaded every part of him . The energy that he was made of, became mixed with the dark fog, giving him a very uncomfortable feeling, he also felt a bit weakened as if this fog was eating way his energy .

"Now that everything was taken care of, I guess I should tell you . One of the Divine Beast will definitely attack this place... don’t ask me how I know it, instead, go prepare yourself to fight because it’s going to be a bloodbath in here . "

When he finished his sentence, Arthur and Swain disappeared from the dining room, leaving a pale-faced Kithel, a confused Emily and a slightly angry yet surprised Amidel .
