Once Human, Now a Parasite

Chapter 617


Chapter 617: 617

"You’re pushing your luck, parasite!"

Amtir angrily shouted as he jumped back and wiped some blood off his lips . A large White Tiger that was enveloped by green lightning was blocking his way and relentlessly attacking him .

The King of Jade was able to resist Arthur’s monstrous attacks using only his weapon, which was a ruler made of translucent jade .

Arthur ignored whatever was said and lunged at the man, his large figure transforming into a thin bolt of lightning which pierced through a violent blast unleashed by Amtir’s ruler .

Seeing no use in continuing with his attack, the king used his weapon to block the lightning bolt and fired an arrow from a hidden crossbow under his over-sized sleeves .

The large figure of the Divine Beast bashed into Amtir, pushing him back a few steps then spitting deadly acid all over the carriage . The liquid melted a tiny part of the area but Amtir’s jade was strong enough to resist the tiger’s acid . The crossbow’ arrow was fast but it ended up hitting Arthur’s afterimage as he retreated and changed forms . Two lengthy flaming wings spread in the sky, bringing with them a suffocating heat .

The King of Jade was engulfed by a sea of vermilion flames which burned his clothes and part of his hands, however, his ruler started getting bigger and released a green energy which extinguished the parasite’s flames .

As he held the elongated ruler, Amtir swung at the Vermilion Bird flying in the air . The simple weapon made of Jade unleashed a powerful burst which focused only on Arthur, ripping a large holes through his wings and causing him to fall .

Amtir wanted to follow-up but by the time Arthur crashed into the ground, all the wounds had disappeared . A lightning-fast silhouette charged at the king and kicked him from the side, causing him to stagger . Arthur teleported behind the target and punched using [Dark Burst] and [S-Void Mouths] . This combination managed, for the first time, to overcome the ruler’s jade and directly hit Amtir .

Small and creepy mouths ate away parts of the Jade then jumped on Amtir, ripping through his chest . Unfortunately, the victim had a quick reaction as he retrieved another ruler which was also made of Jade but had a different color . This new ruler was pink-ish and seemed considerably stronger but just holding it made it extremely tired .

Amtir sacrificed the first ruler by breaking it apart and using the shards to get rid of the void mouths while the second ruler slashed his own skin and sucked all the Dark Magic .

Arthur, who had been standing still for the last couple of seconds, pointed both of his palms at Amtir . Soon enough, two dragon cries echoed across the train, and from within the parasite, a lightning and fire dragons appeared, both flying at the King of Jade .

In mid-air, they twirled around each other and merged, becoming an even larger entity . Sadly, they couldn’t do anything as Amtir held the pink ruler with both of his hand and vertically slashed at the incoming dragon .

In a way, his retaliation was very effective as the blast he unleashed was similar to Arthur’s sword, which was given to him by Timos . The Parasite used the White Tiger’s Golden Barrier along with the Dark Barrier to block most of the incoming damage yet he still ended up injured .

It took him a bit more than ten seconds to heal himself using Life Energy and when he looked up, Amtir had already fled .

The parasite opened the Red Tower’s system and checked his points, smirking only when he noticed a significant increase . The brief fight netted him 35 million points, which is considered a decent amount .

"Do you admit your loss now?"

Losha’s foot was on Maxine’s chest, the latter was severely injured and breathing heavily . She was beaten in a fair fight against the reincarnator, who didn’t hold back and finally showcased the true might of the Diamond Physique and the Divine Sword; Grail .

"Do you?"

The blacksmith repeated her words while leaning her closer to Maxine, who, strangely, had a bright smile on her face .

"T, the terrain is not good but I admit it... I lost . "

As she said that, Losha retracted her hand and stretched her hand to the player, who accepted it, not withholding any hard feelings . They never planned to fight to the death and, in some ways, their character was a bit similar, though Maxine was on the crazier side .

"But tell me! What was that mo-"

Maxine suddenly stopped talking and looked to the side, precisely at the edge of the carriage . A person appeared out of nowhere and was staring at them but she couldn’t feel any hostility .

"Huh? Isn’t she that White Specter? Luna... no no, Lucy, right right!"

Maxine sized up the incoming Lucy, not very interested in a fight but still keeping her guards up .

The silver-haired woman stopped before the player and Losha, then slightly bowed her head to the latter .

"Teacher . "

In response, Losha waved her hand dismissively while saying: "I’m not your teacher anymore so stop doing that . "

"..." Lucy raised her head and stared back at the red-haired blacksmith, who acted nonchalantly .

Maxine used a skill similar to Appraisal to check Lucy’s info and when she read the displayed information, her opinion of the specter changed .

"You’re really something, huh . "

She nodded her head as she inspected her from head to toe before backing off and leaving the area . Her behavior was strange and inexplicable but since Lucy didn’t come for the player, she didn’t comment and quietly watched the green-haired woman leave while whistling .

"It’s rare to see you alone . "

Losha looked around before asking: "Where is that detestable husband of yours?"

"I don’t know . "

Lucy shook her head while answering truthfully . They got separated on the previous floor and the train is just too big to search every nook and cranny .

*Contestants, the train will reach the destination in 15 minutes . Please hold tight . "

Right after the tower spoke, the whole train started violently shaking, making many of the contestants lose balance . Unless you’ve got a special skill, flying is not possible using only energy, moreover, there were some large wraiths that would attack you if you leave the train’s protection range .

When the trembling started, the screeching wraiths appeared from the shrouded sides and attacked everything that moved .

Lucy took out her revolver and fired at the wraiths, which were momentarily stopped by the bullets but weren’t extinguished . Losha unsheathed Grail, the White divine sword, and stabbed the nearest wraith . A blinding light burst from the blade’s tip, it caused the monster to wildly cry before disappearing into nothingness .

"Spiritual monsters can be killed using lig-"

Before she could finish, Losha saw a blue cloud that appeared above the carriage . The cloud appeared from a blue bullet, this was but the beginning as countless lightning bolts descended upon all the attacking wraiths, slowly killing them, their bodies were emitting steam as they tried to flee but the zapping blue lightning was merciless, sparing none .
